[jovial fractal]

@tight stirrup Ive only ever had 1 guy be friendly once whilst I was a scav, everyone else just kos, especially if they figure out im a player

[hardy maple]

[sinful fern]

imo from playing over the last week

ive had the most success on reserve

if you're just tryna survive

[proper ginkgo]

Great I lost a marking beacon while "defending" it because the servers disconnected as I was waiting.

[uneven sedge]

ill have to give that one a try

[next lichen]

most of the escapes are easy to get to, and you spawn fairly close as a scav

[noble sand]

i only have an AK that has 10 rounds per mag

[upbeat flax]

☝️ 😩
What I can say is some people have the money to help new players, but usually its tedious aswell as usually a money sink

[noble sand]

if it had 30 id be more confidennet

[pearl quail]

If you use your scav to find items for a trader's task, does the exp from the task go towards your PMC?

[noble sand]

SOMEONE JUST OPENED A DOOR

Then you shouldn't get it

[noble sand]

grenades are really important

[fair zephyr]

what else can you trade dog tags for?

[floral sleet]

anyone got any tips? everytime i spawn in with my pmc i just die instantly

[noble sand]

WTF where did i die from

[hazy stag]

so how do I find a way to escape

[noble sand]

OH MY GOD

[hazy stag]

cause I have no idea how to find an extraction point

[noble sand]

a guy jumped out f aindow

and killed me

[magic solar]

so iff I put my Red Rebel in my Scabbard I do not lose it correct?

[noble sand]

open a map

[upbeat flax]

@magic solar scabbard can't be lootef

[smoky jolt]

welp not me though i am OCE

[steel island]

how do i not die

[sinful fern]

by not going into raids

everyone dies

[smoky jolt]

kill scavs get to lvl 5 then play the flea market

[sonic crater]

Yeah

[versed geode]

hey is there anyone on to help do some raids 🙂 ty

[faint hinge]

boutta zoom around customs with a knife and hope for the best

[upbeat flax]

Don't

[faint hinge]

to late im committed

[sinful fern]

zoomers these days

[faint hinge]

finna shank someone

[upbeat flax]

Or not

Especially you actually mean knife

Good luck.. basically impossible

[faint hinge]

i believe

[sinful fern]

ever heard of an old saying, never bring a knife to a gun fight

[faint hinge]

i think you mean never bring a gun to a knife fight

[upbeat flax]

With knives. Even when you can get the first hit on a scav on their head standing still it will be difficult for you to hit them again

[noble sand]

okay I am so mad

I AM GOING HAM

GUNS BLAZING

no thinking

if i hear someone im rushing

[faint hinge]

there mf aint ready

[pine shell]

anyone willing to help get me to level 5.. Knowledge with Woods mostly

[fair zephyr]

have you examined everything from traders you get a good chunk of xp\

[pine shell]

Yeah ive been doing that best i can. I got a bunch of exploration xp the other day and it all disappeared? Using sav raids to get weapons for my main guy.. Did the in-game looking for group twice and both times got killed by the team i spawned in with right away

[wet spade]

What's the cheapest weapon to mod it with silencer & flashlight?

Pistol?

[pine shell]

almost at level 3.. just finding it tough to extract as pmc

[noble sand]

[fair zephyr]

[wet spade]

@noble sand 9k

[noble sand]

ty

[floral sleet]

anyone want to team up and raid together finding it nearly impossible to run solo with such shit gear

[loud escarp]

https://i.imgur.com/G3NAUH5.png

[pine shell]

same

[loud escarp]

does this restock in 54 min?

[lost crypt]

its always out of stock everytime i look

does it ever actually sell or is it just bought out right away

what even is the trade for it

[loud escarp]

i dont know.. but its really good

[lost crypt]

its eh

get killed in the stomach a lot

[vernal anchor]

It's 4 golden tts for that tactec

[lost crypt]

only time i ever use armored rigs is reserve and woods

[loud escarp]

tts?

[lost crypt]

oh thats kinda dumb

the ones u get off rashala

@loud escarp

[loud escarp]

well i woulda never been able ot buy that anyway

gg

[silver apex]

ANYONE WANT TO DO A SCAV RAID

[lost crypt]

😄

@silver apex #pvp-lfg

[silver apex]

yes

[lost crypt]

yes ? use the chan not here Lol

[silver apex]

ok

[lost crypt]

🙂 gl

[noble sand]

someones camping me

😐

[smoky jolt]

should i sell or keep rb orb2 key?

[restive ruin]

whats wrong with armored rigs?

[hazy stag]

is there a punishment for leaving too early?

[fast rivet]

only if you don't kill anything

[lost crypt]

@restive ruin hardly cover stomach or arms

[rare helm]

Is it possible to fit a PU 3.5x on the Mosin? I'm following the mod tool with no luck

[lost crypt]

majority of the time if i die with a armored rig its a stomach kill

[spark marsh]

the sight that goes on the mosin needs the 3mm ring mount

and it needs a mount, one sec for spellin

[timber dock]

@rare helm which Mosin is it?

[rare helm]

I have them all, nearly

[spark marsh]

it needs to be the base mosin sniper

[hazy stag]

no but whats the punishment? @fast rivet

is it only XP?

[fast rivet]

severely reduced xp gains

[spark marsh]

the infantry mosin doesnt work

[fast rivet]

but hey, least you lived, right

[hazy stag]

thats all I wanted to do LOL

I got carried by 3 people in a scav mission

and all I had was a SG while they had long ranged xD

[rare helm]

How do I get the standard mosin? Is that on the flea?

[amber saffron]

prapor lvl 2

but you can buy it from the flea or trade it for the barter items from prapor

just get from flea tho

[fathom wind]

prapor sells mosin i think

[amber saffron]

ye he does at lvl 2

lvl 1 only the infantry

[faint hinge]

knife zoomer didnt live, got stuck in factory xD

[rare helm]

So itll say regular mosin stock, yea?

[noble sand]

ok guys i just found a dead body while going to extraction

he had a VSS

tons of other shit

[digital carbon]

What button is stab

[steep oracle]

V

[fervent shore]

double tap v for quick stab

[steep oracle]

++

Any tips on beating the bots on the market? I hate having to pay wayyyy more for stuff just bc someone else has some external program to get shit

[fallen crane]

there are no bots lol @steep oracle

[steep oracle]

Oh, is there a way to set buy orders then? I'm seeing items disappear in less than ~0.1 seconds after listing

[fallen crane]

what are you trying to buy?

[steep oracle]

Mostly barter items, pretty much never see this happening with weapons and armor

[fallen crane]

lots of people will be trying to buy at same time

[long coral]

Are match timers normally over 15-20 mins?

[fallen crane]

the flea market depends on your ping as well

most times it will be sold before the timer hits 0 on your end

[smoky jolt]

yeah if it is a really popular item it will be sold in an insta

[bold kernel]

nice insurance

[digital plover]

anyone know is plex worth much?

[cold osprey]

legit nothing

[digital plover]

is it used for any quest or soething?

[bold kernel]

7.5k i think

[cold osprey]

i have a modded m4a1 for the gunsmith part 4 but its not workging

[visual dawn]

anyone wanna do a run on interchange with me?

[bold kernel]

@visual dawn are you experience my guy

[cold osprey]

why dosent it work

[visual dawn]

Not really just trying to get some help but I know the map

do some scav runs

[digital plover]

thanks for help btw 🙂

[noble sand]

is the VSS any goo

that looks sick @cold osprey

[stark fable]

Vss best

[noble sand]

what level are u @stark fable

[stark fable]

26 or something

[west vortex]

i just got loaded and its not letting me extract at rail to mili

[stark fable]

Go to different extract, one that's in your list

[west vortex]

it says that one of the scav exits are rail to mili

i dont have time

[stark fable]

Not every exit is guaranteed

Double tap o

To see which ones are available to you

[west vortex]

the other one is across the map

oh well

[bold kernel]

for 7.62x39 is ps worth using? I have a lot from raids and was wondering if the drop in penetration from bp is not that bad

[stark fable]

PS is so cheap and will get you through 90% of situations

[bold kernel]

I assume bp is still better for pmc fights

[stark fable]

Yes

But most people wear class 4 at most, and ps does fine against that.

But if you have the cash, and are spending some serious money on the rest of your load out, it makes sense to upgrade the ammo as well

[noble sand]

PS sucks

i shot 30 bullets at a guy and he didnt die

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel 762 PS is a one of the "better" sub tier rounds

it will get you by pretty much

will be hard to compete against armored thicc boys is all.

Veprkm + PS rounds 👌

[bold kernel]

another question

vepr 136 vs 209

which is easier to use?

[steady pilot]

they are the same in "performance"

except 209

shoots shitty .366

[pine shell]

If anyone is keen to help me get to level 5. just need a few extracations

[steady pilot]

jsut dont use it

[crude grove]

I don't touch the .366TKM, it doesn't feel useful at all.

[ancient falcon]

is it recommended to play solos?

[crude grove]

You can be sneaky beaky like when solo

[smoky jolt]

rat mode

[fervent shore]

most of the time i end up being a sneaky beaky corpse

[sly warren]

So does anyone have tips on how to get Gas Analyzers? I've been doing interchange for a week straight and have only found one of out four needed

I kinda dont like the map and would love to do something different

[timber dock]

@sly warren you could buy them off the flea market, I think you only need to find one in raid, no?

[ancient falcon]

wait wtf?

i just lost all my stuff that i insured

[timber dock]

@ancient falcon define "lost".

[ancient falcon]

the trader sells it if you don't play the game

?

[sly warren]

CRAP Your right lol

Well thats no problem now

[timber dock]

@ancient falcon Yeah, if you just let it sit

[ancient falcon]

they were my best guns 😦

[timber dock]

Gotta pay attention to that timer.

[ancient falcon]

Does it come back in real time?

makes no sense

[timber dock]

Nope.

It tells you depending on who you're insuring it with

[ancient falcon]

I mean is the timer in real time?

[timber dock]

Yeah.

[ancient falcon]

patron guy

[timber dock]

So two days and change.

[ancient falcon]

prapor*

[frank wigeon]

Where should I focus my time after killing 15 scavs in Woods quest?

[ancient falcon]

so even if I'm not in the game, the timer can start and end?

[timber dock]

Yup.

[ancient falcon]

that's so stupid

these guys took it too far

[fervent shore]

the most effective lessons tend to be expensive ones

[ancient falcon]

is there a way to get them back?

how are we to know when he'll get it back and sell it, if it's when we're not playing the game

[timber dock]

You get an estimate when you insure it. If it's Prapor it's 24-32 hours after your raid ends.

[ancient falcon]

oh ok

real hours?

or in game

[timber dock]

Real hours, I believe.

[uncut socket]

irl hours, yes

[fast rivet]

therapist is 12-24

[ancient falcon]

Is the scav timer in game?

I just jumped on after a few days and it's still unavailable

[native niche]

any one wanna help a new guy out? just dropped 161 on the game lol

[smoky jolt]

yeah scav timer is in game

from first launching it

[languid current]

i cant seem to get this god damn pocket watch

[spark marsh]

Im in a raid currently so once im out if ur down for a current 3 man ill help ya

[pine shell]

Looking for any help to get to level 5.. almost at 3. i have basic knowledge

[ripe sapphire]

i'm level 5 maybe 6, also need assistance

not so much an in-depth sherpa, just somebody to help me suck less

[noble sand]

theres a SCAV AI with a 100k helmet on

cant reach him tho cause hes high up fuck

[ancient falcon]

what bs game sometimes

i spawn with my pmc right next to someone and i die

rip 20k insurance fee

[worldly rivet]

How are you supposed to make money with the Junkbox if you just save everything?

[ancient falcon]

plus, no map. They expect us to have a second monitor?

[worldly rivet]

90% of my profit are barter items

also no need for a map

its a small map

do you need your hand held too

[ancient falcon]

wtf you mean?

[ripe sapphire]

@ancient falcon probably. i have a second monitor so i'm not bothered, but i understand that its not really do-able without one

[ancient falcon]

how else do we know where the extraction points are

[worldly rivet]

it is very doable?

you look at a map once

and you remember them

use your brain

[ripe sapphire]

stop bein a cunt @worldly rivet

[ancient falcon]

you don't learn a map instantly

[ripe sapphire]

its hardly helpful

[worldly rivet]

but you know how to use a compass correct?

[ancient falcon]

youre saying the game has a compass?

it doesn't

[ripe sapphire]

the sun is your compass on tarkov

[worldly rivet]

^

[ancient falcon]

true

[ripe sapphire]

rises east, sets west, for real

[worldly rivet]

???

exactly

and the map is set north face up

extraction is west

so follow walls to left

[timber dock]

"I only play night raids" Checkmate!

[worldly rivet]

big brain

[ancient falcon]

well i spawned next to someone losing all my shit like that. I'm more mad about that than the map.

[worldly rivet]

Why didn't you learn the pmc spawns then

🤔

[ripe sapphire]

@ancient falcon don't group with people you don't know

[worldly rivet]

you ran near his spawn

[ripe sapphire]

its a bait

[ancient falcon]

this is a beginner guide...

[worldly rivet]

okay let me change my sentence

[ancient falcon]

you expect me to learn all the ins and outs of the game like spawns already?

[worldly rivet]

learn the spawn locations

so you dont get killed

[ripe sapphire]

no worries, @ancient falcon, i'm ACTUALLY here to help and be helped where i can't

clearly Vynnir is here to be a dick about it

[timber dock]

There are some rough spawns out there that probably needs some tweaking.

[ancient falcon]

legend

yeah using my phone is a bit tedious to have as a map

[ripe sapphire]

@ancient falcon do you have a tablet of some kind?

[ancient falcon]

nope

interchange is pretty easy as there is only 3 extractions

all the guides say to start with customs

usually they are at the opposite end right?

or always?

[timber dock]

Yeah, there's really only a handful of 'main' extracts for PMCs.

[rapid notch]

any recommendations on investing in a hideout?

[timber dock]

Heck yeah.

Build all the things!

[ancient falcon]

what's the point of hideout?

[timber dock]

Passive bonuses, crafting, free money (eventually)

[ancient falcon]

ooo

[outer olive]

whats a good starting weapon?

[timber dock]

Vepr KM.

[ancient falcon]

I've got everything level 1 now

[night crag]

What’s your budget like

[outer olive]

i got 600k

[next vessel]

whats best ammo for 9x19 mm?

RIP or AP6.3?

ap 6.3 hardly penetrates anything

RIP atleast will rip the limbs

[timber dock]

Loving this monologue.

[next vessel]

I guess RIP is a way to go? and aim for the damn legs?

[night crag]

A lot of people here recommend SKS but I personally don’t like semi auto, I use a lot of ak74m, 74n and the ak105 and mod it. I like it a lot @outer olive

I usually find one from scavs and mod it

[next vessel]

Will ap 6.3 rip the armor quickly?

[keen trout]

i killed 5 scav on customs for prapor and i have the quest activated but it didnt count do i have to turn in mid raid

[bold kernel]

no

were u a pmc or scav

It wont count if ur a scav

[keen trout]

oooooooooooooooooooooh

welp

@bold kernel thx

[acoustic timber]

ok can someone tell me whats going on with us servers cause im tired of playing asain servers to actually get into a match has eft even said anything

[bold kernel]

servers are just bad rn

[smoky jolt]

they said stuff in their stream

[inner tinsel]

so i have a question i wnat to buy tarkov but its in a beta?

[smoky jolt]

just game state

as not proper full release

[bold kernel]

you get in to the beta

[acoustic timber]

i wish tarkov could actually fucking work

i dont think they even care at this point

u could queue in asian servers in 1 minute

[bold kernel]

they do, this happens now and then

[acoustic timber]

eu 6 minutes

but us

a whole fucking 28 minutes

[bold kernel]

they are from russia you know

[acoustic timber]

yeah this wasnt a problem before

[bold kernel]

were you here during wipe

[acoustic timber]

but until now its a huge problem

i was for a while

then i stopped

[bold kernel]

queue times were 20+ mins

[feral flume]

What should I put in my gamma case

[bold kernel]

cause of all the traffic

What lvl are you Moon?

[feral flume]

Level 4

EOD edition

[acoustic timber]

but i dont get how and why they arent doing anything about it

its been like this for what

2 weeks

and i get its not thier fault

[bold kernel]

I run standard edition so i only run a cms kit, keytool, and extra ammo

[acoustic timber]

but if i can load in solo customs in 7 minutes

why cant i load in trio in 7 minutes instead of

what

26 minutes

[bold kernel]

you can fit way more in yours, so maybe extra meds, extra ammo, a surv kit would be good

also a docs case if you can get one

yea @acoustic timber groups have a way harder time loading in to raids when the traffic is how or when the servers are dying

all they said was that there server provider was having problems or something

[acoustic timber]

y would it have a harder time loading

than solo

i dont thinkn trios or more than solo would have a key factor

in making it take for ever

[bold kernel]

I think it would considering you guys do have to spawn together instead of apart like any other player

[acoustic timber]

i run solo customs get a queue time under 10 minutes and still encounter duos-trios

idk whats up with that tbh

[bold kernel]

maybe they wait the whole 20 mins

i used to do that

with my duo

[ripe linden]

matchmaking a party vs a solo probably has some kind of matchmaking rules

They don't want to put your 3 person group against a bunch of solo players probably

[acoustic timber]

that might be the case but at the same time its most likely not

[smoky jolt]

it isn't

[acoustic timber]

thats what im thinking tooo

[bold kernel]

yea they wouldn't implant a rule like that

[ripe linden]

Most games have rules like that in their matchmaking

dunno why tarkov would be different

[acoustic timber]

becuz its hadcore

hardcore

[bold kernel]

yea but tarkov dosen't care, i always fine 4 mans and 5 mans even if i go solo

find*

[ripe linden]

Finding yourself against a group of players doesn't mean that there aren't matchmaking rules against it

[acoustic timber]

why would there be matching rules

[ripe linden]

Generally matchmaking rules are set up something like 'attempt to make perfectly balanced match when possible' followed by a series of rules that loosen over time if you can't perfectly balance

[bold kernel]

i don't believe there are

[acoustic timber]

this is a hardcore shooter

multiplayer pvp game

[ripe linden]

Yep

[acoustic timber]

they wouldn't put that in the game

[ripe linden]

Competitive counter-strike attempts to balance matches

[acoustic timber]

ay but is this counter strike

[ancient falcon]

is mosin obrez m good? It costs me 25k to insure it

while a shotty is 3k

[ripe linden]

Nope, but it's example of another highly competitive shooter

[acoustic timber]

tarkov really aint that competitive

[ripe linden]

shrug I don't work on this game so I can't speak to what 'is' and 'isnt'

[acoustic timber]

when i think about it

this is more like a loot shooter kinda game

with some amazing aspects

[ripe linden]

It's got some great parts and some 'meh' parts

[acoustic timber]

if meh is the server times ofc

also ai's

[ripe linden]

Most of my complaints are around inventory management

and weapon modding

[acoustic timber]

it really aint a problem

if u dont have gear fear and bring in ur gear

[ripe linden]

It's mostly just annoying

So my complaint is that there isn't an auto sort or auto stacking

have bullets of the same type? can't stack them

[acoustic timber]

stack them as in?

[ripe linden]

Get rubles through 10 transactions? doesn't stack unless you stack it manually

[acoustic timber]

like when u buy them

they dont go into one slot?

[ripe linden]

yep

or when you put them in a money case

they don't stack they just go in separate

Same thing with bullets in an ammo case

[acoustic timber]

does it really matter that much i mean that always go to the very top in the inventory once u buy em

or recive them

[ripe linden]

Yep, it's a pretty small complaint

it just annoys me 😛

[acoustic timber]

yeah i guess i have my small complaints too

[ripe linden]

I think the other thing that annoys me is that objects like say bullets can stack to 60 but capacitors are 1x1 slot each

500k roubles is going to take up more physical space than say a dozen screw nuts

but you can stack the money and not the nuts etc it's just kind of pointlessly annoying lol

[timber dock]

@ripe linden but the capacitor thing is just realism.. /s

[ripe linden]

lol

[noble sand]

Guys whats the best Mid range gun? m4a1?

[ripe linden]

What counts as mid range?

[night crag]

1.8m, to buy or not to buy a scav junkbox?

[noble sand]

m4 or HK?

@night crag i got mine for 1.4 yesterday

worth it

if u have lots of small items

[timber dock]

@night crag is your inventory full? (I know, what a silly question)

[noble sand]

i only filled up like 2 rows so far

is it fileled with SMALL items

mine really wasn't so i bought it for no reason but worth the investment

[night crag]

Got it

[steep oracle]

What helmet was this guy wearing that he took only 2 damage from a headshot????

[bold kernel]

what ammo were you using xd

[steep oracle]

Idk, it was a scav run

[bold kernel]

bad ammo then lol

[ripe linden]

one with a high ricochette possibly

I hit a scav in the head with a Mosin and the green metal army helmet ricochetted the bullet off

[steep oracle]

Was an AK so it was either 7.62x39 or 556x39

So does ricochet deal small damage then?

[ripe linden]

I think it deals like a tiny amount and spares you the rest? dunno

[steep oracle]

Damn, that shit sucks :/ never been saved by a helmet before but seems like the enemies get all the luck

[twin needle]

Are wait times still like 25 minutes

or servers are fixed

[steep oracle]

on EU i am waiting like 2 mins

[ripe linden]

I got into solo customs games on US servers after like 5-10 minutes

[noble sand]

anyone know the site to look up builds?

[twin needle]

NA i been doing 25 minutes + for the past 6 hours

[warm terrace]

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

[twin needle]

@warm terrace I apprecate you my g

[ripe linden]

Dope survey, thanks dudee

[warm terrace]

❤️

[ripe linden]

@warm terrace What's the intention behind the "feedback type" comments / questions check boxes?

That happens to me a bunch noto, I usually get in eventually but some times I'll be like 5-45 seconds behind them

[warm terrace]

just in case there are any topics I didn't list there that you feel should be included

I just listed the main ones I get dm's and questions about the most

[final smelt]

Volker could you get me in touch with a tech support helper

[ripe linden]

I was just curious about this part, doesn't really have much context?

[warm terrace]

True true, lemme swap somethings around

[ripe linden]

👍

[dense dagger]

aye Volker lets run it

im down for any map

[warm terrace]

❤️ I would, but I'm working on building a website atm

[dense dagger]

Damn i see

[noble sand]

can someone link me a good m4 build

[steady pilot]

any m4 build is good, mess around with edit preset and find what you like

[novel ridge]

1.4 and store all your base upgrade shit in there and sell extras when not needed

[ancient falcon]

are scav raids only AI?

[uncut socket]

no

[ancient falcon]

Also is there a way to know how many scavs there are?

Whenever I think they're all dead, one more from a distance just insta headshots me when i loot

[steep oracle]

No

[ancient falcon]

or is it random

i was in their spawn

[steep oracle]

There's always one more than you hope

[ancient falcon]

so what do you do to loot?

just hope?

[frank wigeon]

always check for sniper scav

[ancient falcon]

or is the open always very risky?

[timber dock]

Clear the immediate area before looting?

[frank wigeon]

if youre in that area

[ancient falcon]

I thought it was clear

i killed 4

[frank wigeon]

and do you wear a helmet?

[ancient falcon]

it was scav

so no

tried to put one on but might have been damaged

[frank wigeon]

as scav you got killed by a scav player?

[maiden perch]

@ancient falcon - No, and even if you checked there can be others that spawn in, they also head towards gunshots and have different agression levels (slow, or fast, ect) I recommend you check around first if solo , in groups only one person should ever loot at a time, while everyone else is covering (maybe one more healing)

[main bloom]

Hello! Anyone down to help me out and teach me the basics?

[maiden perch]

but everyone dies while looting now and then

[random token]

I need help pls god

I cannot for the life of me mount a scope to my mosin

[maiden perch]

@main bloom I may teach another Marine Tarkov University tomorrow, for now ill answer text questions in and out.

[ancient falcon]

they spawn mid game even if you kill them?!

[maiden perch]

@random token odd's are you need a mount, but ya mosins can be weird from what I understand

[timber dock]

@random token which flavor of the Mosin are you using?

[maiden perch]

@ancient falcon Yes, they spawn in waves

[random token]

I bought the mount, combined it with the scope

[ancient falcon]

for the debut task for prapor, do you need to kill 5 in a game?

[maiden perch]

loading in, delayed

[random token]

and I cannot drag it onto my mosin

[ancient falcon]

i killed 3 or 4 just then and it still says 0

[main bloom]

I just have tried playing a few games and it’s been difficult just don’t understand really

[frank wigeon]

double click the scope

[random token]

its an infantry mosin rifle stock

[frank wigeon]

and it has a weapon compatibility drop down

and just double check that its for the mosin

[timber dock]

@random token can't put 'em on the infantry mosin.

[random token]

doesnt drop down

What mosin do I need homing pls

[timber dock]

Mosin bolt-action sniper rifle

Not Mosin bolt-action infantry rifle

[random token]

Thank you homie

I saw that cut out portion on the mosin stock in a video and wasnt sure where to find it

Sucks I cant make an ATI stock mosin sniper, i have an ATI mosin IRL lol

[novel ridge]

does the book for exortionist quest for skier not always spawn in the jacket?

[fast dagger]

it spawns kinda in between the jacket and the wall

[maiden perch]

@bold kernel - You need to kill them on customs, and online and they have to be scavs, did you do this?

[fast dagger]

hard to see but you just have to look around the jacket @novel ridge

@bold kernel you also have to be a pmc for it to count

[maiden perch]

good catch pvt, missed that

[novel ridge]

its not there

and door was locked

[timber dock]

@ancient falcon as long as you did it as a PMC it should count, could be a UI bug which restarting the game should fix.

[maiden perch]

@ancient falcon ment to tag you, read above mine and PVTparts 119

[novel ridge]

but also this server has been shitting itself more than ive ever seen before

[fast dagger]

I promise you it is there @novel ridge just might have buuged through the map?

[novel ridge]

maybe, but i also just got the extract glitch for the first time

[fast dagger]

oof

[novel ridge]

and multiple times ive run and it's tp'd me back, then somewhere in the middle, then all the way where i was before i was tp'd

multiple times

i openned a few doors twice

been a good time

[fast dagger]

servers have had a huge amount of stress with the popularity of the game just now getting huge!!

[novel ridge]

im on EU, there should be no stress rn

Also definitely not there

sry it's dark but theres no case sticking out nor is it anywhere under it, ive slow walked all over it

[fast dagger]

did you spam f over it? and it should be in between the jacket and the back wall, if not it could be bugged

[prisma slate]

should I hold onto most of the items I get from raids or sell the stuff and buy things for my own kits

[maiden perch]

Hold on stalk I have a great link for this

[fast dagger]

@prisma slate it is double edge sword, a lot of items are needed for quest

[maiden perch]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/eb42lg/i_made_a_quick_and_dirty_foundinraid_cheat_sheet/

@prisma slate read the above

keep that for quest

sell everything else or use it for upgrades

[novel ridge]

im not infinitely searching the scav in ZB-1012

[fast dagger]

thats is great link @maiden perch

[maiden perch]

Thanks! wish I had it when I started.

[fast dagger]

lol same

[novel ridge]

i can escape out of it but 26 seconds into searching it, i wonder if itll register or not

nope

[fast dagger]

most likely bugged, would try in the next raid

[novel ridge]

idk if i can even get out of this one rn

[prisma slate]

awesome thanks for quick help lol

[smoky kindle]

Does anyone know how to stop desync or spawning in with everyone standing still?

[novel ridge]

all extracts are broken, what do i do?

[smoky kindle]

I have to alt f4 and reconnect and that kinda works some times, but I genuinely don’t do geared runs anymore because I know I’ll just lose it all.

[novel ridge]

am i just forced to lose all my shit

[feral flume]

How are they broken

[novel ridge]

on my server, everything is fucked

[steep oracle]

It was broken for me too, Try leaving the extract and going back into it? Should eventually work if you do it a few times

[novel ridge]

worth a shot

[steep oracle]

shit servers RN

[novel ridge]

i can dc and reconnect right?

[smoky kindle]

This happens on both servers, Singapore and Sydney so I don’t know what to do or how to fix.

[novel ridge]

i left and reconnected to server and now the raid time is 36 again even though when i dc'd there was 9 left

[ancient falcon]

quick question: scavs won't attack you if you dont attack them right?

[sand apex]

right

if you're a scav that is

[novel ridge]

if you're a scav

[sand apex]

they attack pmcs on sight

[novel ridge]

Broken servers are magical

[sand apex]

bosses and their posses will attack player scavs though if you get close

[novel ridge]

sry for dark but thats a frozen floating scav with no weapon

[manic elbow]

So.... How does one join a locked room?

I've already read all and accepted rules.

[valid silo]

hi! cant download the installer, I only get a not found error. anyone had a similar issue?

[novel ridge]

it's time locked as well, wait 5 min, if that doesnt work pm @tall cipher

[bleak token]

Is my name diff yet

... what did i do wrong

[manic elbow]

It's definitely been longer than 5 mins. I'll wait a few longer, run a pmc or something then do that.

Ty

[novel ridge]

and you accepted the rules?

[frosty crown]

what keys for shoreline are worth getting?

[novel ridge]

310

[bold kernel]

how do you give a quest item to the vender? need to give 4 shotguns and 4 body armors to skier but i cant

[novel ridge]

east 310*

go to teh quest, next to the line item it will say turn in

then select the items to give from the context menu that appears and click accept

if the turn in button isnt there, you dont have the item

[sand apex]

you have to go to the trader/tasks screen, not the character/tasks screen

[novel ridge]

lol i spent 20+ minutes on the glitched map, said raid time was 1:16, gg tarkov

[manic elbow]

You also have to have the correct gear. Like I was trying to turn in different body armors since it said any. But I figured out it wanted specific ones.

[novel ridge]

yeah he says he wants the white ones in his dialogue

[manic elbow]

Yeah. I didn't catch it the first time until i couldn't turn in any others.

[valid silo]

anyone got something like this when trying to download the game?
File not found

An error occurred during a connection to cdn-11.eft-store.com.

Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

[manic elbow]

Something If one person missed others could too.

[ancient falcon]

does shotty insta kill 1 m away?

[sand apex]

it can

[bold kernel]

ok, thats dumb, it should say that he wants tozes and white body armors as the obj and not in his dialogue

[ancient falcon]

I shot someone in the body they didn't die, but they shot me and i died by 1 shot

[manic elbow]

I've not seen that @valid silo

[ancient falcon]

he didn't look like he had armor

[sand apex]

you might have hit the arms which are typically in front of the body

[manic elbow]

@valid silo https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/92879-help-user-action-required-unable-to-load-file-client01112474zip/

Might help didn't get the chance to look through it.

[valid silo]

damn, wanted to play the game... guess ill have to wait for support to write back (up to 10 days)

[novel ridge]

if the pellets spread across both arms, his torso and pelvis, its possible the dmg spread enough to not kill

[valid silo]

@manic elbow same error, but those guys could download the installer

im not even there

[manic elbow]

Ah damn

I logged into a match as soon as i found it.

Sorry i couldn't verify before hand.

[novel ridge]

try reinstalling again

[valid silo]

dont worry

thx for trying thoug

[novel ridge]

redownloading*

like log out, close browser, reopen and login and try again

[valid silo]

@novel ridge link to downloading the file is not working

did that

changed browsers

used link on email account

nuthin

[odd owl]

yo do u get ur labs card back in offline mode

[manic elbow]

I saw that they didn't get it installed as well

Oh wait. They did get the launcher but couldn't install it.

One person did say they couldn't download it, however it was an issue between their isp and the servers.

[silver trail]

Hey i just got the game and had some questions, anyone got a moment?

[hasty silo]

@odd owl yes

[valid silo]

got it!@manic elbow

[manic elbow]

Awesome!

[odd owl]

oh i do ok good thanks @hasty silo

[hasty silo]

Drak, ask questions get answers 8)

[silver trail]

was hoping to get in voice to make it easier

but i just joined this disc and everything is locked

[valid silo]

used edge, seems that all the adblockers and tracking blockers i use on firefox screwed something on the downloader connection

thanks yall

[hasty silo]

m programing 😦

[proud hull]

so im flat broke

[manic elbow]

Me too

@proud hull wanna meet up and do some fun runs?

[proud hull]

sure

[manic elbow]

I'm in Duo Uniform @proud hull

[proud hull]

what does that mean

[hasty silo]

@silver trail I think you gotta look at rules or something first

[silver trail]

yeah im reading through it all now

ty ❤️

[hasty silo]

@proud hull scroll down on the left ribbon, [Duo] Uniform is about 3/5 way down there

baloon was there but it's empty now 🤔 maybe just dm the dude

[novel ridge]

now im on a functional server and the quest is working fine

magical

[maiden perch]

@valid silo Disable any VPN's if you have any, same with AV for web, if you do not have a VPN, try one

what country are you in?

[valid silo]

Im in Peru, but as i travel a lot I bought the EU version

[noble sand]

guys how to take screenshot and post here quickly

[maiden perch]

Does Peru block connections to Russia?

[valid silo]

not that im aware of

[maiden perch]

snipping tool-paste, or snipping tool to snaggy-paste

try the vpn thing acid

[valid silo]

I did manage to download the game

my ad and tracking locker were fking things up

so i used vanilla Edge

and magic happened!

[maiden perch]

cool

[maiden perch]

Nice gun, whats up?

[noble sand]

is it good

i put M995 rounds in it too

should i be able to kill ppl now

[maiden perch]

its a decked out M4

lol

ya

you hit anyone with that and they will feel it

most will go down in 1-2 shots is my guess

[noble sand]

aii good so it shouldnt take 30 rounds to kill a guy

[maiden perch]

lol

where are you fighting?!

[noble sand]

interchange / customs

how much do u think this would sell for

without the ammo

[maiden perch]

innerchange scav boss killa is the only thing ive seen take 30 rounds of anything

and he is no Man

I dont know, let me check M4's real fast

75-80k

[noble sand]

wait

are u nuts

i spent 500k to make it

[maiden perch]

then it would sell for 550-580k

also

you said without ammo

[bleak token]

Spent 500k new player?

[amber saffron]

So what does it mean when an extract is red?

[noble sand]

yeah i just started 5 days ago @bleak token

[maiden perch]

I dont know the parts of the gun from the damn picture and market prices

[noble sand]

my networth is about 3M

[maiden perch]

that's fairly good for 5 days ago

[noble sand]

my biggest purchase was scav junk box at likr 1.5m

[fluid path]

@amber saffron usually that its unavailable.

[maiden perch]

what did you do to get so much money so fast?

[noble sand]

ive been playing nonstop

so like 17 hrs a day

straight

[bleak token]

@noble sand i dont rec playing with 500k builds

[maiden perch]

damn

[fluid path]

its possible it bugs out and shows a 100% guaranteed extract as red too

[maiden perch]

that student life.

[bleak token]

This early on

[noble sand]

why @bleak token

[maiden perch]

also what greatbinx said

easy to lose alot, lol

[bleak token]

It doesnt reinforce aim

This early

[noble sand]

insurance + i only play in mates i know with this gun

my aim is decent, i just cant kill cause ive been using shit guns with PS ammo

[bleak token]

Its better to budget down and get as many hours as you can

[noble sand]

legit used VEPR 30 roudn with PS and couldnt kill a guy with low tier armor...

VEPR AKM

[bleak token]

Leg metta

[noble sand]

xd

only his head / torso was showing

[hazy patio]

ps on 5.56 sucks

[noble sand]

corner of a wall

yeah
i spawned as scav so

[bleak token]

Positioning then

Unless you are pinned no reason why you cant move?

Right?

[fluid path]

missing then

[bleak token]

let him push you or know when its not your fight

[noble sand]

yeah i was pinned ina building

i think there were 2 other behind me so i had to fight no option

but anyways what else do i do with money?

besides buy good gear?

[bleak token]

Save for now

[fluid path]

can work on your hideout

[bleak token]

^

Level peacekeeper

Buy shit and money dump

If you wanna blow it

[noble sand]

cant do anything with my hideout until i do more tasks

but that doesnt really require much money

[bleak token]

Still something to spend it on

[noble sand]

i cant rn

lol

cause im not high enough level

with the dealers. im only level 11 rn i think

[bleak token]

Work on spending more money of finding great budget builds that work for yu

And run those builds

and if you dont like it sell it on flea

[noble sand]

u keep saying the word budget

i have too much money i dont know what to do with

[bleak token]

Because its relevant

^^^^

[noble sand]

lol theres no point of keeping 1-5m in the bank

[bleak token]

Of course there is

[noble sand]

well i wanna have fun with it

😄

[bleak token]

just dont go broke in the process my friend

[noble sand]

yeah i dont usually go below 500k

[bleak token]

Honestly with all that money find nice builds you like

and start completing taks

tasks

**

[noble sand]

tru

[bleak token]

No point in not itll help you learn the game much quicker

Also buy a keyring

and buy all the fucken keys

Start buying cases

[errant coyote]

what should i do when i am out of guns or have guns but no armour, are there any cheap gear sets i should buy from traders?

[bleak token]

Scav runs @errant coyote

[hazy patio]

also pistol runs

rat pmc

4 life

[lusty light]

keep as much money as you want

getting more money is fun for me so that's how i 'beat' my game

[errant coyote]

i do scav runs whenever i can but what about in between?

just pistol?

[hazy patio]

rat pmc

[errant coyote]

what is that?

[hazy patio]

learn to stay alive

[bleak token]

If still new rat or or ofline

offline

[hazy patio]

is the number 1 most important skill

[lusty light]

yeah i pistol run as pmc if im on bad streak/out of cash

[hazy patio]

it's better to learn how to run away tbh

and sneak

if you want to make money

[bleak token]

@hollow forge @faint hinge How do i get into that room

[hazy patio]

then buy a ton of vepr 136's

[errant coyote]

is there a best pistol?

[hazy patio]

and keep doing it

no

[bleak token]

Just run tt

[errant coyote]

tt?

[bleak token]

or abs

abs is fun

[errant coyote]

how do i get the salewa kits too?

[bleak token]

look at maps on wiki

and look for med spawns

[errant coyote]

ok
