For modding, or edit preset, @lusty light
I often dont see most obvious solutions xD
edit preset
Yes
that workbench menu
We know
LOL
That wasn't the question though
xD
everyone always is
also, for mosin i use lps ammo, it's ok? seems like very low pen compared to others, but i dont know what pen value means
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.
All the data displayed below is the produ...
@mossy meadow read this page, It will tell you everything you need to know.
@mossy meadow Basically pen is what tier of armour it can deal with
i see, thanks
I'm trying to build https://imgur.com/U2ztyhj from Virion
i can't get the same recoil as him
yea\
screenshot me your ak
Could be that some stats have changed since he made the screenshot
It's possible that stats have been changed
that gun looks like a transformer
You can use any 1x btw, doesn't have to be that one, doesn't change the recoil stats
im struggling with space constantly, what the common strategy of spending on that problem?
except just dropping 50$ on EOD
Sell what you don't need
Pull mags and pistol grips off of guns to make them take less space
Get containers
im new, i dont need anything, actually, just thought about all that trash
asking again: anyone know what that bubbble helmet is
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
Sure thing
@noble sand
ty @trim herald i think its that
It's garbage
can u kill someone by shooting on already blacked parts?
i see people talk about leg meta
ill send a pic
ah ok i see
its weird to me you can survive with blacked head tho
happened to me once
ah ok that was a pretty unlikely situation then π
Keep getting bloody one shot in the head by people in all my raids now, is driving me bloody nuts
ty rommel
Usually people sitting in a bush or laying at the end of dark hallways staring at entrance ways
We all go through ruts like that Valky
I ditched normal raids for a day, did nothing but run through factory with a 153, was quite fun but not great for cash
I got clapped once by a player scav sitting in the bush next to the one I decided to hide in to check the map on my phone 
First raid back in armour etc and I get shot in the head as soon as I walk into the dorms compound
Yeah I had one last night where I killed 2 PMCs by crossroads on customs
worked my way over to train, and something silenced in a bush laid waste to my innards as I passed
Sorry, i had difficulty logging into my imgur https://imgur.com/a/kjqU9NC
Well thats a different stock
That's a PT-1, not a PT-3
got it
I had that yesterday lol, was running past and along the train on customs and someone with something silenced started taking shots from somewhere at me
but ergo is not the same
Tarkov giveth and tarkov taketh
I have these weird thing of my stomach being a bullet magnet though
Change the stock
i changed it to pt-3 and got the same recoil but not ergo
Literally every firefight I get into my stomach is first, and always, to get shot out
If the screenshot is old enough then it might not reflect the recent ergo nerf that the RK-2 got
Pretty much condemns me unless I burn through an IFAK and run for an extract. Even wearing class 4 armour, its always just my stomach
it might be since it was taken in nov
@jovial fractal Try one of these
thanks for the help

Cheers, I could probably do with one honestly, think theyre kind of expensive though right?
Yeah true
5 uses
Oh I thought it was 3 uses, maybe I was thinking of the big one
I might invest in one then
Anything
The margins are essentially the same on all items
He only buys attachments or armour though
Buy from Ragman, sell to Skier
shotgun barrels
Get a 2for1
he buys and sells them
hmmm
guys
could any experienced players or sherpas hop into beginner assistance vc with me please?#
im scav and a scav fainted in front of me whats that mean
guys, can you tell me why I cannot trade my knifes for an mp5?
That they died from bleeding, likely, @noble sand
I have all seven there is a green tick as well
im just buying from skier selling to mechanic
Wrong colour knives
You want to get Ragman to lvl 2 as well btw, @uncut socket
It's his first quest
they are the right ones, it says so
have him lvl 2
Oh nvm then π
:)
@trim herald dang ok π¦
@autumn sand They're all the same colour then yes?
yes!
You need 8 knives, also π
is the guy out of stock or something?
I have 8 and I can fill the items
but still nothing happens,
Click deal?
lol sorry I am retarded XD
π
did you buy from him before?
never
you can only buy 1 mp5 with knives from him per restart
can anyone help me complete the checking quest? i have the mechanics key
Swamp
btw, in general, is eod worth it, gameplay wise?
wow i didnt encounter any players my whole run
its useful, you can be more lazy if you have it
@mossy meadow I think EoD was worth it for me, but it's not needed
<--- new player EOD was so worth
Does the water collector not resume if a filter runs out 4 hours into production?
Church in swamp looks like
Is there a low tier setup guide
is there a way to see how much my whole inventory is worth?
@unique wolf It does, but it looks like it resets, doesn't take the full 5hrs for the next purified
i kinda have cash but ive been BSing kits and want a reliable kit
@royal phoenix It is π
oh so im at shoreline... it says i can extract at pier boat... but im there and nothing is happeneing?
@wispy finch theres a feature to see value of entire cache but it's inaccurate
ah so it's a visual bug like the air filters saying they last 5 minutes
so no
@tardy wagon Pier boat is a random extract, it's not always there
my biggest problem is not even space, but the fact im locked out of surv kit for a long time
@novel ridge where is that
doesnt mean its open
It's not always active Wolfy
friend of mine is a extreme hoarder with a standard edition
That's what I meant by not always there
ah
maybe if he sees how much he actually has he would sell
sooooo... best go somehere else?
in character, go to the tab in the top left that says overall, bottom line in common stats
ty
Hey guys I was in customs and Crossroads extraction was written in red in the extraction list, I went there and it didn't show a timer but it extracted me after a few seconds anyway, what's that about?
thanks
Colour doesn't mean anything really, it's supposed to be red if it's closed, but sometimes it's open
why wont it let me xfil at pier boat
oh
It's USUALLY closed in fact
how long until it opens?
Red does not mean closed. It means someone extracted
it doesnt
You can still extract; but it wonβt show a timer
red means communists have been there
^
if its not open on a run, it wont open, except for a few exceptions
but things like smugglers boat on customs is RNG
it has the ???? symbol
should i just go to the open one im loaded right now and im scared
Means it's not always there
it means it's unknown if it's open, the ones without that are gaurenteed to be open
is there a beginner weapons guide, im no longer a complete beginner but im looking for a consistent cheap kit
VEPR 136 is solid
HOLY FUCK LMAO
I came up behind someone doing the fishing gear quest, didn't kill him started placing mine
he killed me on my second item
danke rommel
im meeting friendly player scavs at factory quite often
except hatchlings for sometimes
would this be the place to ask someone if they're willing to teach me the game, or lfg?
we just nod to each other and keep on looking for players
quite the opposite to trailer where two players were teaming up for scavs
@celest sage LFG
thanks
what does lfg mean?
looking for group
ah
hey guys! ive been farming alot of loot and finally managed to peak around the 4,000,000 in cash... i was wondering if its worth getting the stash upgrade?
or should i invest in some weapons cases and whatnot?
is there some control that allows to scan without moving body, like in arma?
press middle mouse button
@tardy wagon Better space for money would be containers, but you'll want to upgrade the stash eventually anyways or your hideout will always be held back by it
No
sorry
near power plant
@trim herald so atm i have 1 med case, a few wallets, 2 pistol cases, 1 magbox and 1 ammo case... would you buy more inventory space or buy a container?
Go south to get to gas station
Which way is south
alrighty thanks π
@royal phoenix Forwards and then slightly to your right
Should see the river on your right once you're past the tank
alright thanks
anyone know what's the keyboard controls for taking a certain amount of money from a big stash of money
Hold ctrl when you drag and drop
Are not all guns available on preset builder thing?
thanks@trim herald
Most worth case to get ? I already got my Item Case, thinking of getting the Junkbox now
So i gotta buy the gun (or just receiver) to unlock it for preset?
If you want to mod it, yeah
@sullen kindle Junkbox is amazing, especially on standard
Alright, neat. Thanks.
Thanks, just don't wanna rush into things π !
Are you fucking serious
the guy that killed me last game that I decided not to kill
Spawned in the exact same shoreline and is camping the boat from somewhere with subsonic ammo LMAO
Hahaha, dude, maybe do a quick scav before next one? π
any1 wanna play, it's boring to play by myself... (im 13)
Nah, but he may have died right after
And just went straight back into a game
Any beginners wanna queue in together with me?
And you just happened to be on the same map because not a lot of people play nighttime Shoreline
Honestly, daytime should be fine for that quest most of the time, it tends to be fairly quiet
Except for Resort π
When you group with a friend can you bothn extract at the same locations or are they separate?
I have a problem with maps
all my maps just show up as white so i don't know where to go for exfil, i am very new to this game and i dont have any maps memorized yet
They'll show you where to go, you just need to find some landmarks and orient yourself
@trim herald I tried editing preset using only available parts, but now it says I have to buy a bunch of them. I'm helpless xD
does it mean I own the parts but they are used somewhere else?
Assemble just means that the shopping list will not have any items you have already
oh how do I best apply my changes then?
Question, I am not sure how people smoke me in night time raids, is there NVGs or something?
there is
is my game supposed to be this dark i literally cant see the ground
it is
night time man
you can probably get some better vis with settings
dang how am i supposed to find where im going in that
Ooohh okay, yeah I don't think I have that muns
Depending on your monitor you may have a setting as well that makes it easier
Is there landmines in this game?
yes
how excatly do i make money in this game?
customs taking too long to load. Is shoreline the next move for noobs? we can't hit level 5
but only in a certain place on two maps
Oh my fucking god this should be the first thing you see when you join the discord
my heart
@split vapor wheres the other mines lmao
in shoreline
ah ofc
at cccp temp exit
and milbase outside
@fossil oracle Cache runs on Shoreline as a scav is super easy
Heya guys! Quick question: I've gotten to the prapors quest where I have to give the guy a bronze watch. I found where it is but I can do it as a scav?
that's because you're not as bad as me and never confuse this one with road to customes spyder π
@twilit kindle have to do it as PMC
You can't do any quests as scav
Ooh okay
can only do collecting quests as scav like gas analyzers
@twilit kindle the only thing task-wise you can do as a Scav is collecting barter items you need for certain tasks
Coolbeans thanks guys
Anyone want to show a noob the ropes? I know basic stuff from YouTube vids but I need some hands on ! Ty in advance
^with u on tht so hard to play
to get started im just running scav runs is that smart?
You get gameplay experience, just not character experience
okay now that I finally caught my breath, who put those land mines in the game 
Iβm doing some customs so if anyone needs to get a quest done Iβll take them
HAHAHA @karmic meadow
I'ma scav on factory cause I hate myself
what shouled i put head bopping to
i need a admin or some shit to answer too many trolls
Dude don't laugh, you KNOW how it feels to get shot from an invisible angle and panic all over the place, now IMAGINE getting BOTH your legs and EARS blown up when you finally think "I made it" ONLY to notice that you STILL NEED to go all the way back lmao
what shouled i put head bopping to
i need a admin or some shit to answer too many trolls
@lilac dawn do offline raids until you get the hang of the game id reccomend looking up a map and sticking to that one for a while.
Also use your scavs on cooldown there's no reason not to
anyone mind helping me with the pocket watch quest?
Im still kinda new to the game myself, but i find customs as pmc with pistol or toz quite good. Youre gonna die a lot, but you level up and there is many jackets for keys and you get a good chance to murder some scav boyz
tizay wanna do a customs pmc run with me?
You can try to do a night raid for the watch and soΓΆimilar quests. The reason is that the scavs dont see that well and there is not too many pmcs with night vision/thermal
how do i get a gamma case
buy EOD
Dude would love to, but have to work all night
is EOD a pre order edition?
you can unlock secured containers that have more space through quests
omicron
who is killa
@dark fulcrum ` For console and than type fps 1
How do you guys think about insure items ?
wat
depends if youre good enough, if i insured my items i would never have money cause i die 9/10 raids
i have like 1,2m XD
75k
Many things will come back in insurance. Many won't loot rigs, backpacks, armor.
I insure everything, the amount of stuff I get back easily makes up for the cost.
@somber tulip Scav boss on Interchange
@waxen forge what about weapons ?
Depends on the weapon
If it's a shitty looking cheap gun, like a vepr, probably comes back
Are boss always the same in tarkov?
However if you insure and get your rig and backpack plus armor back it's worth it
I tend to leave lowbie players weapons as well, or rather throw them in a bush somewhere
@karmic meadow Different bosses on different maps, but the stay on their maps
and what is the best for insure prapor or therapist ?
Prapor
Let's say the boss on custom, does he always spawn on that gaz station and always has a blue helmet alone his bodyguards?
He spawns either gas or dorms
does the boss have like 6 dudes spawn around him?
And he always has 4 guards
and they shoot you even if you're a scav right
Oh yes, that I know
Rip my full AK build when they all jumped on me in the staircase
And it's always one boss per map
Yes
This game is cool.
Rommel what's your go to weapon
Let me squeez that knowledge of yours
M1A probably, Hunter if I'm poorer
Village
spawned here on shoreline
oh god, I started hearing gunshots the second I loaded in
the M1A is a DMR right
Yeah
Looks sick, how much do you spend on modding one?
okay nvm that's an end game weapon
Yeah but I can't afford 2/10 of my money on a gun
That's fair
The hunter i've played with, it's decent but I feel like something else could suit me better
AK's aren't bad, but you're looking at 800 per round for ammo
That's what I thought too, after hitting someone 10 times and only dealing 335 dmg.
I like the ADAR, it seems cheap to build and it's reliable, but just like the AK I feel like ammo is pretty costy
but then again I've barely done any AK builds but got lucky and killed two fully kitted ADARs with a raw SKS so..
i cant seem to turn in my quest items. any ideas why?
anyone wanna help a noob learn???
clic on your boy, go to quest and clic on deliver items from there
if it's a quest item you found in a raid you have to extract to make it work
i go to the vendor, click on tasks, but it doesnt say deliver anywhere
what do you need to deliver
do you have them in your stash
yes
are you certain you accepted the quests
yes
show us your screen of the quest
let me screen my quest window
Do you have the Module 3-M armour?
And the toz shotguns?
you should have deliver on the right side of these
if you have the required items in your stash
i dont have a deliver but 200% have like 12 shotguns and selewa kits lol
show us
how tf do i post screenshots in here?
am i in the right spot for a sherpa?
How do I play multiplayer in this game?
Hmm idk if you have to be a PMC to post images but just in case head to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup and accept them
Probably the WRONG shotguns though Curtis
Restart I guess, but I've never heard of anyone having issues handing items in from the correct menu with the correct items
How do I play multiplayer
@brazen prawn you always play online
With friends
show us the shotgun you have in your inventory curtis
go to the same map and time, in lobby invite your friends
@shrewd quail show us your inventory
damn 33k is really low
Prob have 153 instead of 133 shotgun or somethin
how u go that low
I think so too
but it doesn't explain the selewa thing
perhaps he bought them instead of looting them in raid
Just fyi ever since the wipe, my quests got bugged where i can't turn in any items. So its a possibility that your account is now bugged, but check other corners before assuming so.
You can buy them
rofl. looks like I'm buying 4 trash white armor
should i keep upgrading hideout?
i realize those aren 133 but i should be able to give to other shotgun guy right?
where the fuck u found these
Anyone wanna do beginner missions with me lmk
No
no
same with body armor
and the selewa is in your container not in your inventory
when ur a beginner should u just go for using the gear that u have managed to get or save it til ur better?
it's okay man
thought anyshot gun would do
Depends, don't use guns worth hundreds of thousands early on
it's always a lot of information
As you won't really benefit from it
Are keys a one time use?
Hey at least your account isn't bugged like mine, still stuck on the first quests 
Gear fear is bad. Use it @coarse lily
Lab keycard is, rest no, @signal fable
ive been sitting in customs loading screen for idk how long
also is dorm key 110 valuable?
no
ok ty
but the oli cash register key is if you run across that
Requeue Yuki
Add more servers in the launcher
@signal fable If you inspect the key it will tell you how many uses it has, most have unlimited, there is one other key other than the labs keycard that has a single use and its the Shturman Key, its kind of like a reward for defeating him and unlocks a loot chest in the middle of the woods map. Another instance of limited amount of use keys are Marked room keys and Factory exit key
Thanks @trim herald @coarse marsh
How do you escape Reserve? I was all over the pipes but I never got extraction prompt
@dry ore Double tap O for extract. Pipes is scav only
@vivid shore #521628660298678283 to get pmc role
at yuki go to beginners assitance VC
yeah i already got the role and shit
waiting for the other two people im about to play with to react
ive done it
any sherpas on?
Why does matchmaking take so long I know thereβs a bunch of people that play so why?
Ahh do you do that at the launcher screen?
@trim herald i was there as a scav, this is the first time I've heared you have to tap O for it wtf
I'm sure it was, im so mad, this is second time i failed to extract on reserve with a good loot, fucking shit
were u on the right pipes
He's clearly extracted pipes before
So he was likely in the right place, just with a different extract
maybe it was glitched and wouldnt owrk. thats what happened to me on customs once at RUAF roadblock
light was on and everything
RUAF isn't always on
The only bug there is the light
Not that you couldn't extract
it was my extract point and the light was on and it wouldnt let me extract
Because it's not a guaranteed extract dude
That's one that's only available sometimes
And the light isn't a reliable indicator
How do I put a silencer on my mosin?
there were no ???????
oh ok
Goes straight on
hey guys just brought the game any advice
Play scav and offline raids to start off
be good to find a team to play with
Dose view distance to 400 affect spotting of players or scav
I need help, where are backpack spawns on Reserve I see a weapons case but I dont have a backpack LMAO
How's the VSS?
does it really wortth getting the 5.45x39bs over the bt?
you have two slots for weapons @devout fulcrum
quite the jump in price π
Because the ammo is worth it
hey, pretty new too. Ashamed to say, I'm finding regular AI scavs a real pain even in offline, as well as online, there always seems to be too many to deal with and surrounded by them. Are there resources to understand where and when they spawn, their numbers and behaviour etc?
I would say just stick to one map and you will figure it out
youll start seeing some patterns
Ammo is really important
@hallow vale #521628660298678283 to get pmc role. I'd recommend just playing more offline mode and you'll learn to deal with them. Pestily has a bunch of really good videos as well
On YT
Just found a military base checkpoint key. Worth holding?
some nice loot like weapons i think and it's in a quest at some point I believe
(just had it in my last offline run)
Best place to find lightbulbs?
whats the difference between linked search and required search
@rare helm its not that great really, theres no quest with it, and loot is lackluster
only useful as a shortcut really
linked search is for searching thigs related to that item
required searches if someone wants to trade that item for something else
@lament sundial interchange, oli, techlight
well its a good place for loot runs
Yeah just haven't been finding that many lightbulbs π’
Found a lot of fuel which is nice
why do i not find any ppl
well, some maps can be rather big, so its possible miss eachother
if u wanna find ppl go factory
its stupid that u dont get flea market till level 5
i just barely learning how to use it now
its rather easy to get to that lvl
Pestily got it in one customs raid kekw
weird how a carton of milk is worth more than many guns lmao
why is milk so valuable
Condensed milk?
yea
Therapist trade
there are no cows in war
for the KIBA key
alot of the random stuff i find worth so much
you dont need to choose, just accept them
where i can find about the examine guns ? about what is better to have and stuff
you have one from prapor and therapist, both are important traders
Accept all tasks when you can. No time limit.
prapor wants me to go to customs but i hate that map ugh
and wants to steal 2 shotguns from me
@alpine edge I dont really get what you mean. What attachment are good for weapons?
Sorry for all the questions, guys, but what kind of fuel is needed to power the Hideout?
@restive ruin oi, there are alot of quest on customs
@solemn depot no you see the vertical recoil of the weapons what is better to have a high number or low number in that bars under the weapons
@nocturne flax Just standard jerry cans of fuel. Can find in Oli on Interchange as well as some other maps
i always get lost at costums
Blue are 60 gallons. Silver are 100
@nocturne flax any, just make sure to inspect and see its full before you buy
Oh awesome. Thanks guys. Greatly appreciated.
IF you try to buy on Flea scroll down til you get to the ones that are about 55K and start inspecting them to see which ones are full.
@solemn depot so ergo needs high the rest needs to get low ?
should be around 60-80k prob
yep
@solemn depot thanks π
Why do you need to find them @restive ruin
You dont need to drag money into the trader thing to buy items. Just Fill all at the bottom.
Gotcha
Lucky Scav Junk box
IF you are planning on collecting tasks / hideout items.
It's essential
it will make all your junk go away
is scav offline mode ?
no
Scav is taking over a scav body (random loadout) in a regular raid
offline mode is selected after selecting map
ah ok how do i select offline please ?
ah ok so im ok to select my main character but pick offline mode later ?
Pick PMC and a map/time
yep
Hit NEXT.
ok thanks alot
Skip the map screen and Hit Next
what happens if the timer
Then "enable Offline Mode" and "enable PvE
for the raid goes out
then the raid end
and you havent exited
You are MIA = Dead
and u lose ur shid
oops caps
hey one question, can I use an armored rig for the jaeger quest killing scavs without body armor?
what is the best place to sell zeroed out armor?
no, i believe it still counts as armor
@meager girder it depends on armor, some you could sell, but others are rather easy to repair
Is there a site that shows you how much do items sell ot traders?
@tribal cove no, at least I dont know about such a site
Ok
dont do it
why not
Yeah, but he'll buy pretty much anything.
What is the preferred marksman rifle?
M1A
thats true, and its the one good thing about fence
how do i get the gamma case?
Buy EoD
thats a more expensive edition from eft?
Yeah
Yessir
the most expesive
It's the most expensive version yes
so there is no way to get it playing the game?
what a better case that is not the gamma
!wiki kappa
That's 33% larger than the gamma
well, kappa too but thats pretty much endgame
Good luck with that grind for kappa
!wiki epsilon
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Secure_container_Epsilon
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page epsilon for a direct link or !wiki search epsilon for a list of all hits.
so as a new player, while playing as a SCAV; are you just fighting bots?
No
and all these ones you get playing right?
and players
Yes
When you're a scav, as a new player, try to get some loot without fighting
And extract
Don't try to fight
If you hear fighting, gtfo
Get some loot and get out
how do u tell a difference between the one on ur team/faction (ones that u cant kill) vs the enemies?
im on BEARS side
Everyone's an enemy
you kill everyone
okey, but for example the epsilon container, how do i get that? is it like a reward for a mission or what?
Sometimes as a scav youβll spawn with items worth just immediately heading to extraction with and not looting a single thing, just depends.
whaaa, i just went into a game and i couldnt kill this one guy
Should tell you on the wiki page Mula
He was probably geared
he just walked up to me and tell me to sup
But yes, it's from a quest
did you shoot him enough
stop; as in a hand sigh
who wanna play im new but been practicing on offline mode
sign*
That was your mistake for stopping.
ah okey thanks
LOL
so what are raids?
the games
ah.
Any time you enter a map is called a raid
so pmv and scavs get into the same game?
Yeah
Yeah
Player scavs don't spawn in until later in the raid.
10-15 minutes in I think? I could be wrong.
did the guy who told you to stop look like this?
ahhh
they can about 5 min sometimes
yea but no sunglasses i think
Scav guard
then some guy ran up the stair and doomed me
PMC is your character you gear up and can lose your gear by dying with. Scavs spawn with random gear and have no risk of losing your own gear.
boss minion that was
You should've turned and ran π
can you scav with friends?
Yeah
Yes
no, they can spawn pretty damn quickly
any sherpas on? or do we have to go exclusively though the website
im down to play
@delicate mesa got to the #521628660298678283 and follow the instructions there
Question, is there any penalty for killing the people you're grouped with and taking their stuff?
That's what I thought. Exactly why I play solo.
not at all but dont do it if you are playing in a discord
Yeah, youβll get booted immediately
Why is it everytime I reload my magazine drops?
you press r twice?
Or no space in rig
you don't have space in your rig or you're double tapping R
You are either hitting r twice or you donβt have room in your rig
Or you don't have space in your rig/pockets.
no space in rig
I don't think I am
You need space to place the empty mag first, before you'll pull out the fresh one.
your guy takes out a mag before taking the other one so if he doesn't have space he'll drop it
Hey im new to the game, anyway someone could possible teach a fella?
@flint herald What exactly are you looking to learn?
Uh idrk, I know some stuff about the game, just need to learn the basics
@flint herald First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnβt 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 doesnβt work can PM the @ contact moderator bot for help.

@bold kernel Honestly, best way would just be to check the wiki for each items
aight :/
As I'm too lazy to write down each and every item π
@flint herald Now for beginners game tips, play offline. Learn all of the exfil spots. Pull up the maps from the wiki. Learn loot spots. DO NOT TAKE ANY GUNS IN FOR A WHILE. Run from fights.
would someone like to help me learn the game and maybe do some runs with me i played one pmc run and lost a pistol :\
@bold kernel use the wiki and check each item tbh. soap, gunpowder, propane, tp, gm counter i think are not needed for hideout/quests
@brittle cape Yeah ive watched a ton of vids about stashes, extracts, Wiki pages and etc etc
guys
@flint herald Then you're already miles ahead of other noobs.

@flint herald Try doing solo offline first. Learn how your guns feel, if you REALLY want to get into it head over to the LFG channel.
koz you can put them into your tactical rigs or bags
Will do
yeah but like is there a container for it?
No nade boxes yet
wtf
Can u do duo offline?
Not yet

@noble sand could be a silenced weapon that took them out
@noble sand Could be demons. You'll never know.
is there only 1 voice channel on this server ?
how do i report a bug
Through the launcher
I extracted with a bunch of shit as a scav and i just have what i spawned with
do i lose the paracote from the reserve exit ?
@hallow plover You need to do the setup before you'll get all the channels.
But which handguard can i add on then?
@hallow plover no. Go to #521628660298678283 and follow instructions there to unlock them
Yeah, what Schmitty said.

when i tried to move an item it booted me lol now i haave all my shit that i got from the scav run
Yeah, it is.
@bold kernel Nice. Free stuff.
it was just what i had gotten
other side of the map @royal phoenix
Still free stuff.
Road to customs?
yeah
oh i have bad memories of shoreline
very corner of map
lost a labs card there
someone lern
@wary basalt What do we need to lern?
Anyone here mess with their Nvidia Control Panel setting for playing this game? If so, what do you adjust it to?
Also, any recommended in game settings? Iβve got a pretty nice pc with a 2080 ti. Just looking for best settings for performance and being able to spot people
@wary basalt Go to the rules page, follow the steps, then you can get access to the Looking For Group channel. Ask for a sherpa.
ohhh
Or just anyone willing to run you through a map.
danke
Np
Also maybe try playing solo offline with some maps pulled up to learn exfils and loot spots. That is VERY VERY best way to start, atleast I think so.
I see these screen shots and my game sure doesnβt look as good as some of those lol
Really? I'm running the same GPU as you and my game looks better than most of those.
Ok, I'm probably being super dumb, but why can't I do offline anymore? I just got EFT last night and after doing a couple of online, I can't do offline anymore...
Maybe βas goodβ isnβt the right statement, just looks different
Wait, were you the one that said you had an R9 390 or someone else?
That's your processor, what about your graphics card?
2080 ti
Pretty sure a 2080 should be outperforming my R9. Baby what is you doin?
sorry last map Q, which way is
Hahaha! Like I said, it doesnβt look bad, but these screenshots look more vibrant
Itβs probably my in game settings
Must be. It definitely looks brighter. How the hell are you doing that Hotshot?
@royal phoenix any chance youβd post a screenshot of your video settings when you are done with raid
yeah sure
I can't tell if this is east or west
im dumbo
there's a tank right behind me
F
I donβt know that map at all or Iβd assist ya @royal phoenix sorry man!
Seriously how is his game so bright. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE TOO!

@red sedge I turned down my shadows from Ultra to high and that added about 20-30 fps consistently on its own
When I tried it on med/low it was up about 40 consistently including when scoping
how can i drag down the window ?
You can't, it's broken.
Anyone have advice on the above helmet question?
@jovial fractal my FPS is good. Usually sits around 100+ I just donβt know how those screenshots look so vibrant
I have my shadows on high as well
Anyone have advice on the above helmet question?
Is there anyway for me to get the BETA Container without having to upgrade my account type?
@jovial fractal my FPS is good. Usually sits around 100+ I just donβt know how those screenshots look so vibrant
is it just me or are there virtually no scavs in woods? I actively searching and I can barely find any
@bold kernel woods has the most scavs dude

@tardy wagon PK lvl 4, you can get the epsilon from completing punisher part 6 at prapor

@royal phoenix you can hide in a bush and google the map of the extracts on shoreline i usually do that
@brittle cape riiight!? I saw his screenshot and was like holy cow!!! I want that!
