@bleak token go to rules and setup and read though it to be able to get in here
spam the reacts until it unlocks for you sometimes it bugs out
what armor should i buy if i have guns but no armor?
Reminder guys ...listen, I just ran up on a guy to busy looting, and almost started looting near him, but I took a momment to listen, had he, he would have won\had me, he had the better gun, I now have his gun!
good ammo is how to stay alive
how is the prs bullet?
PS\PRS is only if you are going ultra cheap\scav hunting
if you want to be able to kill\defend with players we go MP
(this does not count SMG's)
for ak 74m?
id use BP
@faint hinge Still jack shit
its not that much more expensive really, and it's very effective
inspect it, it normally gives a good description
"hunting\training" = Trash
"Duty" = shoot people who arent in armor.
"Destriction of personal even if armored, or armored pericing" = Awesome
"Experimental = I dont care about your armor"
Things like Hollow point and Full Metal jacket do TONS of damage but wont penterate armor as often and do less damage to it
but here is the fact of the matter -
lol thanks
Remember the game calculates every bullet, and all the shrapnal
so if you buy amazing armor
great ammo
and a 'decent' helmet
nobody sell bp bullets?
u gotta lvl ur traders or buy from flea
the flea prices honestly arent bad for higher ammo
there are other requirements
like
@normal hound you can see the requirements for the next level in the top-right corner when you're interacting with the dealer.
thanks
The "spent" part is a bit misleading, as both selling and buying items from the dealers count.
Anyone wanna team up? Still kind of noobish at this game lol
is RUAF roadblock extract just always glitched on customs? Ive died on 2 seperate occasions with a weapons case from marked room because i went there and couldnt extract so i had to go trailer
it might not be open
^
is the light on top of RUAF on
its bullshit
if not then its closed
Report it in the launcher and carry on.
just played a customs , two camping makeshift + main bridge, 1 camping north land bridge, and one camping south, good times
Just wondering if anyone can help me get to level 5. level 3 atm. basic knowledge
Killing scavs and looting your kills can offer a lot of xp, also scav runs dont help in any way your main character
extracting also gets you a bonus multiplier....uhh i would suggest going customs and maybe woods for starters
Also every map has hidden stashes if you want to get some average loot in your container to at least make some money before getting into a fight or a ''hot'' place
I wouldnt suggest interchange to a new player but ok lol seems a lot of people think its a good map to start but i dont know
Thanks
how do you rotate items in your stash?
thank you
i have a mp-133 shogun for prapor how do i give it to him for the quest?
Trading->Dealers->Prapov->Tasks
thanks
Heya, just wondering if anyone was on to help out. I’m about lvl 9 and just got bodied by scavs
is there a way to see what weapon was used to kill me?
@craggy sable go to #news-setup and rules to unlock lfg chat, also there is some sherpa thing but i am not sure how it works
I know its been said before, but I despise Customs as a new player. It’s downright awful
@twilit patio Thanks fam
Idk I feel like Woods has all the geared PMCs with Snipes, feels harsher than other maps at least in the evening, probably because it's a go to snipe map for geared PMCs that just want to get kills
and there's very little loot overall
I am pretty awful as a new player but I got killed in woods everytime by a silenced sniper
yeah uh night woods is thermal boy territory
It's just ran for your life constantly 👀
how do i rotate things?
R
im shit so i just run scav reserves
r while you're holding it
thx
Also dont go night factory pistol raid with no light. Place is dark! Lol
pistol with will completely blind nvgs
lmao a buddy of mine went scav night factory with a pisto + flashlight
came out with 2mil worth of shit
from one faceshot
Woulda been fine if I could have seen where I was walking lol
what should i do if i have no gear but a few guns
scav runs
i have 20 mins
Best feel is when you join a almost over raid in factory as a scav, all the dead bodies loot is so pog sometimes
pmc axe container runs
k
Any particular reason why axe ?
stuff things into that container that are valuable
it doesn't matter he just means your melee weapon
Ah okay
ye
thought i'd recommend at least taking a pistol so you can maybe kill a scav and upgrade or score a lucky shot on a player
though
im liquidating all of my inventory of scav runs so i can buy more storage
also true
in all honesty i just mean go in quick and get out
yes i also think at least a pistol in case you get a lucky break
maybe a wounded pmc or a scac
scav
or if you make some good shots even a geared player
p sure you cant put guns in your secure container anymore
ah in-case not in case
yee
Anyone that's pretty good at killing and knowledgable want to help out me and my friend? Hes pretty new and I've gotten 1 tapped nearly every game. You can have most of the rare items and what not. Just tired of dying.
I got chu fam. I might not be able to raid tonight. ( depends on if i survive this raid ) but I have a discord of people who all help out new guys
I can at least do one for ya :)
Sounds great! Maybe we could run 4. I havent done that yet, I mostly run solo and do pretty ok but duos is harder for me
i'm down to run a few tonight if you want, I haven't ran any groups but i know most of the maps besides reserve and labs
We would prefer 3s though. So far we havent shot each other
I have pretty good map knowledge and keys.
Besides reserves labs and shoreline.
Ill invite all of you while I repack a mag anyway
@spice matrix good tip for new players is to mostly run scav runs, when you're waiting for the timer, play offline pmc and learn the maps, where loot spawns and what the scav behaviour is like
@fast rivet thanks
np
always remember, pmc runs are cool, but if you load yourself full of gear, go on a run with no idea how the map works or where shit spawns, you're gonna have a bad time when you get one tapped
my game just faded to black, then I was on the extraction screen saying I survived
i was just wandering around woods
some extracts are a little buggy. my bet would be the outskirts extract on woods
were you by the outskirts extract?
that extract covers a large area
near the scav house
yeah i was near there
yup
i thought i got DCd
and there's often no indicator if someone else has already taken it
sometimes it doesn't show the green countdown timer
@copper shore true, some times i try to run away cause i want to fight at scav house and i cant make it in time
hey does anyone have an extra epsilon case I can have?
I've noticed some videos feature pmcs with different facial hair etc
how do you do this?
I just did a scav run on woods and killed a pmc, was able to run past several scavs after that without taking fire then shturman killed me. Why did he shoot me? Do scav bosses always shoot player scavs no matter what?
actual character customization is planned but not in yet
@main sand cant trade containers anymore
yes bosses and their guards will shoot you, maybe guards give a tiny warning to get away, also raiders will insta shoot you
man thats messed up i had shturman in my scope for like 5 seconds thinking it wasnt him
oh you can't? drn
had a keycard and like 300k in loot 😦
ouchy
makes sense I guess
tarkov gives another hard lesson redhat^^
annoying tho 😦
i mean supposedly they plan on lessening the difference between the different editions
wouldnt people be able to just trade their gamma containers then reset their account if you could trade cases
they already did, with the stash upgrade right? maybe more in the future? hopefully, eod is like 100 euros for me to upgrade, i cant touch that :/
thats why they stopped it redhatguy
I did mine in pieces
stashing the iskra and water for jaeger does water need 60/60 and i can just do them separately?
no and yes
it doesnt need to be full and you can do it by whatever order and each item
@main sand yeah it sucks, just finished punisher and wanted to give beta to a buddy but turns out i cant
uh well at least i think it doesnt to be full, i forgot :}
it doesn't
ok good^^
same as you can make moonshine out of 1/70 sugars
though there's not much of a reason to consume any sugar
oh that reminds me when accidentally ate the whole mayonese and died from dehydration, good times
on the bright side you learned how to do the jaeger quest
whuttt can i still extract even tho timer has changed
if im right next to extract spot
extract timer began but had 1 sec left to extract and i was MIA
what do you mean? sometimes extracts with ???? are closed but the countdown timer shows up, its a bit buggy
and the timer just goes on and on again
@copper shore yes true lol, it was easy to do that task after that
what extract was it? might be easier to figure out what happened from that
@twilit patio i mean i was running out of time to extract and the timer ended but i still could run to extract and the extract timer begin
but
it had 1 sec left and screen went dark
if that 1 sec had gone to end could i have made exit safely?
Probably server lag, you were already mia
oh
so you can see this when you like disconnect from internet, it doesnt auto kick you from the game
you can still roam around and think everything is fine
should the screen go automatically dark when timer ends
not with, like 5 secs delay?
in that 5 secs i ran to extract point and extract timer began to run
i was scav
btw what gfx settings should i adjust to lower to get more fps but the game still be looking good with imporant details?
uhh i am not ingame now if you can post your graphic settings for people to help here
screenshot i mean(
turn off chrom abberation and zblur and lower the shadow visibility and put anisotropic filtering on or just off
also overal visibility can be a bit lower but it will decrease the quality
shadow visibility is waaaay too high
also turn HBAO off
you can also probably safely bump overall visibilty down a notch
soupersauce you know that weird bright thing in interchange, where you can see deep in the hall like there is a bright sun and as you get close it goes back to normal dark
do you know how to fix that?
or at least improve it a bit?
I'm pretty sure that's a side effect of having your shadow visibilty low
hmm, ok i will try turn it up when i am in that map, it kinda ruins the atmosphere sometimes
lol why do people have those infrared scopes
its imbalanced
whereever i hide they kill me
it definitely does but the performance benefit outweighs that con
If I insure a backpack, do I only get the backpack or all the items in it also?
only the backpack or any items that were insured that were in the backpack
atleast now i can safely set my gfx's
you insure on an individual item basis not on the contents
if you click insure all it will insure everything
when you insure something it insures that and everything inside it
insuring a backpack or rig insures all insurable contents like mags etc, insuring a gun insures all of the parts individually
i bet i wont get my insured noob items back
i just built 200k akm and spent like 60k on bullets
lost all
first time buying good bullets lol
bullets are gone eitherway
well you can't insure ammo
yeah
thats why people keep a lot of good bullets inside container
but feels bad that i didnt get to use em
not mag, you keep the bullets
i have 4 slots
in the container
buy eod or do tasks
okay well
work towards The Punisher tasks from prapor
i had 75 bullet drum mag on weapon and rest of bullets in 1x 30mag in container
oucht
peacekeeper lvl 4 i think gives you a purchasable 2x3 container, punisher part 6 from prapor gives you a 2x4 for free, and collector from fence after you do every other main task gives you a 3x4
lol im far away from those vendor levels then
didn't pestily upload a vid where he showed himself doing every single task and getting lvl 40 within 24 hours? lol
not that you could replicate that but it's definitely possible to get all the traders and tasks done pretty quickly if you really try
😄
if the next wipe is in march like has been hinted at. The kappa container is probably unrealistic for a new player starting from scratch
im still trying to complete the shotgun task
To be honest, i do not invest time in tasks, i want to learn the game, after wipe i will focus more
it's still a nice goal tho cause you at least get the epsilon along the way
need 1 mp133 shotgun nowz
tasks are a great way to learn the game, forces you to learn pve, pvp and learn maps
kill 4 pmcs with pistol forces you to learn the game?
yes it does
and they force you out of your comfort zone
i was killed by a pro player is there a big chance he wont take anything from me ?
(you dont have to do that task for the kappa btw)
i was hiding in remote bushes anyhow i bet nobody else will find my corpse
my akm was beautiful tho
it had silencer too
yes there is a chance
you'll learn to play a lot more sneaky and really aim for face shots if you have to get pistol kills on geared players
I just hope they change the quests do this while wearing this, kill this with this, i do not like them at all
i almost killed him
you'd be surprised what you get back from insurance sometimes
not that it's hard to get pistol kills because the sr1mp and five seven are both ridiculous
he went into bushes couldnt see him anymore was waiting for him to come out of those thick bushes but then he shot me from there? even tho i was in bushes too
for pistols
he must have had that thermal scope
It should be optional, like if you kill 10 pmcs with pistols you get 10k xp if you kill them with any other gun you get 2k xp
maybe i go train pistol killing with scav now
how do u change the crosshair on ur reflex scope?
if it has a different one i believe the default bind is alt+right click
alright thanks i will test it out
alt right click without aiming is the one
was mistake trying it while aiming a weapon
clicked wrong mousebutton
enemies heard me
could anyone show a new player the ropes?
what was good ammo for ak 545x39
When I spawn as a Scav, is the timer I have the same throughout the session for all Scavs and PMCs or is that exclusive to me? As in, do PMCs have the same amount of time before the Raid's over?
@mellow tundra this i want to know too
do player scavs keep on spawning in new waves and mpc's too?
the timer is the same for everyone in that raid
and as far as I know player scavs can keep spawning in as long as there is still at least one pmc in the raid
so in the end of the timer most people are dead and its safer?
yes
lol that makes things easier
i mean knowing that
and also makes easier to know when people camp exits then and so on
people can always camp extract though
indeed
i have always wondered do they camp there like 35mins in a row
or just go camp near the ending minutes more
i bet some nerds go camp there right at the start
hey hanging out in the beginers assistance channel would like some help
Only if they made the extract zones radioactive, it would also help locate them
I have like 400 raids under my belt and I've run into extract campers less than 10 times
and they've all been on factory
Factory is camp magnet
yea but in that room they're super easy to defeat
i have like 20-30 raids and ive seen 4 exit campers i think
just save a grenade
Where is the extortionist task from skier done?
do you have the key?
yea
like, in a room
in my experience at least armor doesn't help a whole lot against grenades
okay
i wonder how much is the effective explosion range of a grenade
how many meters
depends on the grenade
iirc m-67 does the best damage and has the best range but also has the longest delay
3-9 meters for m67 according to the game page
does every grenade almost surely kill within 3m radius?
oh
i should get grenades with me more often then
if you throw them you'll surely level your strength
is there a way to unbug the menu without reatarting the game?
😄
ive seen couple of times squads close together in resort at shoreline
in a hallway
too bad didnt have grenades with me
for a long time I was saving them like potions in an rpg
they were pretty reckless too making noises and i could sneak close but had shitty weapon and couldnt kill them even by surprise shooting full magazine at em
anyone that can help a level 3 out message me 😩
😦
im not proud yet
@solemn otter not that I know of, I usually just restart
i just fail to extract as a pmc
hold control and drag it to an empty slot
ctrl and drag
thanbks
anyone up for help?
Whats a good armor combo for under 200 000 roubles
why do i get lag spikes when i encounter enemies or start shooting them?
you probably need to put tarkov on your ssd
its fun to know enemies are close as a lag spike comes
or get more ram
i have it on my ssd
@rapid silo best imo is a tactec vest with whatever you have for your head
ok
@bold kernel middle top
is there anyway to make the game feel like an even playing field
everytime i get killed it feels like i always go against decked out dudes
the trick is to pick your fights
thats the crazy part the fights pick us 😦
me n my friend just got blasted in factory by one guy after unloading on him
THERE WAS 3 OF US
@night pulsar ammo type and armor make a big difference
you know what i love cleaning up a area waiting making sure it is safe then going to loot just to be killed by some dude that has high end gear high level good kit and sitting behind a rock camping and me with legit nothing barely able to even have ammo gets killed by the camper cause he really needs that 4 slot backpack i have
https://streamable.com/s22nd can someone explain what happened here
why does the guy teleport and where do i get shot in the end? 😄
That person lagged hard... So hard it looks like a Teleport.
And then I cannot tell where you were getting shot from.
So i lost everything......Noob life
Hello - is there anyone willing to sherpa me through a raid or two? I'm freaking useless at this game and would love to get into it, but it's frustrating, very much so.
yeah i have been trying to get some help for like 4 days now and put in a sherpa request and i dont get anything so i hope you have better luck then me
I think there was a second shooter
yeah from the back I guess, coming to check the shots
how do i reload bullets into mags faster/instantly during raid?
I know this isnt the most optimized game around but how come some streamers have such a fluid game and I dont
@bold kernel better mags and overall experience
I think your character skill matter more
okay
i just reload after a couple shots so in a moment of downtime i only need to pack a couple of bullets instead of a full mag
why do i get lag in pvp?
i start shooting and i get screen lag spikes
usually during the first shots
is it even worth using level 3 armor?
@solid birch Its good protection against scavs, thats about it tho.
mmh alright
I think it's worth it
for Skiier first task, does it have to be specific armor and shotguns?
Cheap level 3 can stop common rounds which is nice
You need to hand over module 3m armor and Toz shotguns
shotguns
thanks
you have to do quests again on a wipe right?
what is best place to find those 3m armors for that quest @vernal anchor
Scavs mainly, but you can also buy it off of the market if you want to
you can find them on factory in loose item locations.
Its random
okay
im unlucky then
what are best 2x scopes?
i mean cheapest ?
feels like 1x sights are useless
3m armor also spawns in dorm
3m armor spawns anywehre with scavs
Is this game enjoyable for someone who gets 0.75-2.0 K/D ratios (average of 1.0 K/D) in most first person shooters?
how do i get into beginners assistance?
you probably ask
what happens if i sell an insured item?
@midnight gull your kd on other shooters isnt really applicable to tarkov
Oh?
@unreal tulip a bit of wasted money but your choice if you just need to get rid of it
your kd dont mean shit in tarkov
It does
what you need is knowledge and a basic understanding of the games mechanics
@lilac dawn Why do you have a differing opinion?
i dont think it means much i had kd of like 5 until i decided i dont wanna try hard and wanna have fun
its map knowledge and mechanics
I normally don't care about K/D myself, but I feel like I should ask considering you lose gear on each death
in this game, you can have no kills and still come out on top
KD is iffy in this game. It counts Scavs
how do you know which way is north
Sun
oh lol
all bout that cheese
the sun for real?
yes
thats cool
The sun, for real
so how do i know from the sun
Landmarks too if you know map a lil
or look at a map and base it off of landmarks
@bold kernel
The sun is like in RL
Just know the time roughly and you are golden.
yeah i get that its like RL but i dont know how to tell north from the sun IRL
sun rises in east and set in the west
... well.
Sun goes up in the east, wanders south (noon) and wanders west
figure out the rest from that
so if its 1pm then the sun is west
SW
why sw
Cause... it doesnt jump 90° instantly?
Any games i can join?
hey its begginer questions dont judge me
ok so when its like
6-7pm when it sets
then its straight west?
More or less straight west, yes
ok thanks
ok also
is there like a party system
ive just bought the game its real begginer questions
hey
Yes you can team up with up to 5 people
you can now
@unreal tulip you know that place where all the sweaty PMCs clump up in a couple of buildings and you inevitably die? That's dorms.
It's in the middle of the map on the north side.
@bold kernel there is a party invite sytem with some bare bones matchmaking, but no game chat, i reccomend playing solo unless you find someone you can communicate with in discord or something because freindly fire is easy to do in this game
oh okay thanks
even dr disrespect does friendly fire
"even" 🙂
Not long
i see
think he started for twitch drops right?
i was wondering because he had other dude telling him what loot he should pick up
the pestily guy has some good beginner friendly stuff out there
what do i do
sell stuff
@bold kernel 19 days.
@timber dock okay
You probably have alot of unuseful stuff so you might just get a scav junk box
how
I've got a question, idk if I should ask here, so please, if I'm in the wrong place to ask, tell me. My question: I'm looking for an experienced player to help me teach the game a bit more. I keep getting caught out of position, getting sounds wrong, ... So I'm looking for some help, tips, anything that can help me improve my game. Thank you for reading.
@storm estuary see if you can stack backpacks or disassemble some stuff to make room
@storm estuary are u in scav transfer screen
I've done that it sucks. Make sure you have space before you scav
yes
@winter marsh watch pestily and other good players s gameplay and learn from that
@storm estuary discard something thats not expensive, use https://eft-loot.com/ to find out their worth
You might be able to disassemble some guns and discard mags or something to make space
each trader has an amount of money spent required to level up you should sell to them until that has been hit and at lvl 5 you can use flea market to sell for slightly more profit
Or stack backpacks
@brittle bridge I have done so. Watched many videos from Deadlyslob, Eroktic, Pestily, ... But watching and learning and playing and learning are 2 different things, for me atleast.
@storm estuary if you have weapons in your stash you could possibly save some space by taking out the mags and grips
(and folding stocks if possible)
how much should i spend money on modding weapons when level 8
i think when i mod anything even insurance wont cover em when i die because people loot them or the good parts
What would be the first containers I buy?
What would be the first containers I buy?
@karmic meadow this i want to know too
@karmic meadow Lucky Scav Junkbox is great.
hm is the return on investment good? I barely have 1m
is it worth to buy that junkbox from flea when i have just little over 1mil
Barely 1M?!
the most recommended i keep hearing is get scan junk box first
I've got like 5K roubles...
I love my junkbox.
😄
how much should i spend money on modding weapons when level 8
@bold kernel I believe ammo is far more important than mods
Okay, I'm guessing this Discord server is for more skilled players. Newbie out...
some guns are nearly unuseable without mods
but i once already lost a lot good ammo and it hurt
@winter marsh what's up bud
@winter marsh hardly.
but i once already lost a lot good ammo and it hurt
@bold kernel What gun are you using
So, having 5k roubles is a pro gamer move?
im like lvl 10 i havent hit 1 m roubles yet lol
So, having 5k roubles is a pro gamer move?
@winter marsh having 1 million rouble is barely getting on your feet
now i have ak 74m
So what would you call my situation, @karmic meadow
Honestly man, you're poor as fuck
Truth!
Alright, thank you for that tip!
@winter marsh you could consider using your once-every-21-days reset if you're all tapped out. 😛
I’ve read from multiple sources that scav junk box should be first investment before you spend money on other things
@timber dock My what?
You cant even afford can of beans feelsbadmane
@winter marsh You know how you started the game with some gear?
Yeh
@winter marsh https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/328
@winter marsh On the official website you can reset your account and get back what you recieve through the standard edition
That's the word from the FAQ.
Cool
Also we're all beginners here, only the people with green names are official helpers, some don't fret if your message gets unseen, doesn't mean we don't want to help ya 🙂
@karmic meadow Thanks, had some real unfriendly people on some places involving Tarkov
Where are you from taz
Got shot in the back of the head a few times by "friendly" group players...
I'm from Belgium.
Do you speak french by any chance
belgium has the best beer
@winter marsh out of curiosity, how did you end up grouping with them?
Unfortunatly, I do not.. And yes we do, but I can't drink beer.
😐
@timber dock Somebody told me to look for groups in the game before you start a raid. This was a big mistake.
Yeeeeah..
How much does a lab manager key, tank battery or kiba door key sell for on therapist?
Don't do that. 😛
if you head up to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup you get access to #pvp-lfg channels where you'll probably find much friendly players
Never join groups in-game unless you're on voice-com or know the people, etc.
Yeah, learned that the hard way.
Was honestly not that smart of an idea but I thought it was worth a shot.
I was thinking about that yesterday actually
@winter marsh Well, you could always try and kill them first.
@timber dock True, but I don't wanna get gear in that way. Feels like cheating to me.
I hadnt really thought about using LFG and always saw a load of people sitting on there and wondered what exactly was going to stop them just shooting me
Rather suck balls than destroy peoples mood like that.
@timber dock I once joined with a rndom lvl 2 guy and I helped him make 160k and extract the raid. Lower players are usually innocent
I'm only playing with friends, if they're not on, I go solo
Ditto
@tribal cove Yes, I'm one of those low level guys, its always the +20 dudes xD
@tribal cove they're pure, like freshly fallen snow.. until Tarkov pees on them.
jesus, this is hard
Yea, lol
i spend more time waiting for my scav to spawn than i do on my pmc
@timber dock Which it just did xd
Ive taken to skulking around at night alone to get my loot and quests now
@clever cave Scavs always spawn late in the game so that's probably the time needed to find a session
Hi I was wondering if someone could give me advice on how to approach this situation better, I was facing a much more geared pmc on a scav run. I was trying to wait it out and figured opening the door just as I thought he was out of bullets was a good idea
GPU: GeForce GTX 1080

So, about that 21 day reset thing. You could basically go nuts for 21 days sitting on nothing but a knife, reset and do it all over again?
yes
although I think if your stash is empty Prapor gives you a gun everyday
for free
Oh, alright.
21 day reset?
Do you keep your items in your pouch?
yes
If you reset?
oh
@dusk token Yeah there's always one more enemy than you think.
are you talking about the profile reset?
Yeah
you go back to the same as you were when you created the account
Cause I suck ass and am pretty much broke.
was that two enemies Im pretty sure thats the same guy
choose usec/bear, have all your starting items, are level 1 with nothing examined, etc
Oh. So all the free gear and stuff too?
Hi I was wondering if someone could give me advice on how to approach this situation better, I was facing a much more geared pmc on a scav run. I was trying to wait it out and figured opening the door just as I thought he was out of bullets was a good idea
@dusk token Never peek from the same spot, he was clearly shooting in your direction, so he was expecting you'd push from here, you had a mosin too, so only one shot and no pressure/nade/flash, I'd have withdrawn, this is not a fight you could've win
oh theres two
@dusk token If there was no way to run away (if that was a closed off room) then unfortunately just waiting would probably be best, stay in cover and obscured so he has to come to you and hope you can land a 1 shot kill on him
@dusk token no, there's two. you can see them.. you also hear two different guns.
One runs around the corner as you come in
should i buy lucky scav box from flea as lvl 8?
@winter marsh i can help you out if you dont want to reset
@bold kernel if you have the money go for it
at lvl 8 for some reason I doubt you need the space from the junkbox
@rocky ocean I could def use some help.
but if you have millions of roubles and need the space then i mean, sure why not
@karmic meadow that was a one way door choke my only exit is out the window of a 2story and breaking my legs
@bold kernel therapist ll2 sells it for 1.4 mil
who be LL
I ended up buying a weapon case off the flea market first
Then you were trapped, either wait for them to go or wait for them to push and counter peek them
vendor level 2?
loyalty level 2
@dusk token by the way they were pissing away rubles firing at the door they were obviously scared of you. 😛
they even threw a nade LMAO
you need to level up the traders for better gear and to unlock tasks
obviously they werent experienced but like they had a lot more gear haha
@rocky ocean Thing is, I've been playing for 2 days and I'm still learning much every time I play. I usually get extraction with a Scav but nearly always get shot with my PMC after 5 minutes of spawning, if it even lasts that long. So now I'm kinda broke with only 1 set of (incomplete) gear that I use to play Offline raids, so I can still practice with the gun I enjoy.
@winter marsh if you haven't already, head over to #news-setup and #521628660298678283 to get your PMC role to unlock the rest of the Discord including the #pvp-lfg channel
@timber dock Oh, I will, thanks.
you need to level up the traders for better gear and to unlock tasks
@rocky ocean what is best way to level up them then
@winter marsh which maps are you playing?
quests
okay
Use your scav to make $. Don't look for a fight. Loot tech/hardware and get out.
what vendor sells the scav box?
Therapist
@rocky ocean Started with Customs because that is what they advised me to start on.
does it matter which one i level
Therapist
okay
@bold kernel check prices from flea market and how much you can sell the stuff on the vendors often you can buy stuff cheap and sell it to therapist for example and make + money out of it
@winter marsh See I hate customs because its so congested and it forces you into bottlenecks
The map I started on, and so far my fav (weirdly) is Shoreline
@jovial fractal I don't really like Customs all that much tbh, but I'm playing it because most of the players told me to.
I either take a pistol or an AKM, nice and cheap and I loot village and pick the leftovers from a couple of little places, then bug out
@bold kernel check prices from flea market and how much you can sell the stuff on the vendors often you can buy stuff cheap and sell it to therapist for example and make + money out of it
@rocky ocean what kinda stuff for example?
@winter marsh customs is good you need to learn the map that is the prob like where are spawns hotzones ects
spawning in as a scav with sniper + optics, helmet and harness. Tempation to bail is real 😄
@winter marsh I know what you mean, its 90% of the advise ive heared too, but like I said, personally I dont find it friendly for starting out on
@bold kernel i have a small list of stuff on my pc i can share it
yes plz
Most extracts are through a pretty bad choke point or behind lots of scavs
@jovial fractal I usually end up getting killed in the bottleneck situations.
none of the scav snipers are particularly expensive
ANd you get a lot of players who are quite vicious
or gear in general except the fal
@jovial fractal Man, they are like animals...
Pmcs will shoot at you in every map
Lookin to play with someone, just starting out.
@winter marsh So far ive spent most my games in Shoreline I think. I can take my time and theres a lot of quiet places. You know exactly where people are gravitating to too
@jovial fractal I haven't seen a layout of Shoreline.. 😅
basically what i did was take a item check how much a trader gives you for it and than go for filter item and check the price on fm if its below the price of the vendor buy until you reach the vendors price and sell them all to vendor for profit
I mean, if you go to the Health Resort you will be fighting against the same people you might get in Dorms on customs, if not worse
But I just avoid the area
Village is often quite quiet and is full of quite valuable loot, lots of coast full of keys etc
Its where I made all my money starting off. Looting keys worth 200k~ each
Lot of players on Customs, come full geared, ready to clear the f out of Dorms and Gas station.
Then safely extracting along the edge of the map
My biggest loot has been 70k
As my confidence grew I starting taking in AKM variants or SKS's
i will be back in 20 mins or so and than i can share stuff more in detail
Just so I stood a chance at downing people if I go caught out
Is lab keycard a consumable?
Yes
@bold kernel yes
Thanks
np
@winter marsh Take just your melee or a pistol into Shoreline and buy Sashes from Ragman which is a 1.9k R backpack
Look at a map of it and try explore that a little, especially village
how is thsi game realistic ?
@amber fiber Ive seen plenty of people smoke through a balaclava lol
okay, so m700 with random scope felt way less responsive than I expected
@jovial fractal Well, to me that is still a problem. If I do a run like that, often times I end up getting killed because I can't really defend myself. After that, I have to spend so much on healing items so I can do it all over again..
@winter marsh Its enough to defend yourself vs scavs on Shoreline as I havent seen any with armour, and in village they just have pistols or 10 round rifles. Its definitely a compromise, first time I went in I only took a knife and died because I couldnt defend myself. But when I started taking in Makarovs it was enough. The goal was to clean out the village, its grocery store and gas station, then bug out. Purple items are quite common and worth 40-100k each depending what you find
If you want to take something more potent in, then by all means do. Ive become an advocate of buying armour recently which isnt too cheap. So some gear is definitely worth it. But a pistol and sash is cheaper, even if you die, then a rifle and gear
What you guys talking about
I think 3-4 of the cheese medkits from the vender cost 11k, that will get you back up to max
11k is cheaper then anything but a pistol
@jovial fractal Well, as said before, I'm at 7k roubles so I can't afford that xD
Taz
Yeah?
@hidden meteor Getting murdered by pmc, becoming broke and having trouble on Customs despite being the good "starter" map
Do you need a guide to make money
I need all the help I can get :p
I made a guide for this guy yesterday he was at 7k now he’s at 1.4m
This is my personal runs and it is probably missing a ton of components. But this is how I usually run interchange so enjoy (:
@winter marsh If youre on EU id offer to group up if youd like and go into shoreline together. The dufflebags and keys from village are a safe and easy option I believe though
@hidden meteor I'll check it out in a bit!
@jovial fractal I am on EU
Also loot Interchange. Oli has hardware needed for hideout which is valuable. It also has a lot of PC which can be looted. Can get into Oli and get out without even going into the rest of the mall. Once out compare prices of the stuff to the LOWEST flea price and therapist. If she's close sell it to her.
im completely new starting out where do i start
Ive tried Interchange a few times although its resulted in getting caught in fights or swarmed by scavs. I need to find the quiet corner I can quickly loot from
Not as much as here.
Was just curious because I applied for Sherpa and they said I needed to be active on forums ;((

So I've put together a list of tips and useful information for people who are either starting out on EFT or are just looking to refine their skills.
Time Stamps
0:30 - Learn via Offline Mode
1:53 - Learning Maps + Player Counts
4:03 - Insurance
6:05 - Medical System
10:50 - ...
@winter marsh Well if youd like we could group up and do a raid. Ill bring you some medkits you can put in your secure container to take back with you
Incase you die
Why is everything on the market sell for alyonka bars, and where do you get them?
@obtuse rivet 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.
Desync
Ah okay thanks
Lol
@jovial fractal That could def help me out! If you don't mind of course. Please do remember that I've never played that map nor have I played with another player so I have honestly no clue of what to do in order to be useful.
@bold kernel

Also, I would need a few minutes (15-20m) to get ready
@hidden meteor Good loot vid
@winter marsh I only started 2 weeks ago ish and im only level 14 or something. But ive found some useful stuff thats worked for me, by no means meta or especially optimal but its gotten me a decent bit of cash and some reliable extracts
Why sometimes exits that are shown as viable don't work when you go to them?
I still dont entirely know what to loot still, just anything I dont see often or is purple lol
@waxen forge it’s really easy ain’t it?
@jovial fractal I mean, that's way more than I know so ... xD
guys
Anything Electronic or Hardware on that list above
Yeah those hoses are gold
SOme assholes on flea market keeping them at a hig hprice
The equipment as you play longer starts to hold more value, and after you reach Level 5 and unlock the flea market the true value of loot you pick up starts to make sense
My account was stolen about an year ago?
what can I do
to get it back?
write to support I guess
@bold kernel Contact BSG support on the website
Get ready to have all documentation / Proof of purchase and such
@waxen forge got pmc role, thanks
a beginner needing help finding extracts in either customs or woods
@umbral wasp Always compare flea value to Therapist>Skier>mechanic. You can often sell items to traders for just as much money and maybe more than flea. With traders you increase the "spent" needed to level them, can sell multiple items immediately for immediate payment.
@hidden meteor Thank you for the video. I will def try that at some point but I'm afraid doing this by myself not knowing the map at all, would most likely get me killed pretty soon. Also not having gear doesn't help
based of this convo, im dropping in shorline for first time now 😎
@bold kernel Dm'd you a link of a map to prevent uneeded links here.

Use Internet Maps on 2nd screen to help you learn.
@winter marsh Practice it offline
Can someone tell me the specific difference in when to enter a raid?
PMC enter in the beginning (how late depends on their server/PC), ai scavs spawn in waves with the first wave being a couple minutes after raid starts. Player scavs can spawn in early (maybe 5-10 minutes after start) all the way up to spawning with only about 18 minutes left.
ahhh perfect thanks
hey im new can someone help me out
ive been doin good as far as merking people lmao but finding extracts beeeeeen a bitch
i got a map now so should be muhch better
what's the name of the shit white body armor pls

thanks !
when i first started i was going in not prepared to lose my shit
that was making me lose shit because i was trying to push everyone and everything.
Alright, I guess I shouldnt ever trust another player. Geared player wigled at me and didnt shoot me. I thought, oh cool, he sees im doing bareminimum equipment run, and is being nice. Yeah right 😄 We parted ways and he started spraying from the hill. Atleast I dropped my insured pistol! 😄
Man just KOS everything if you confident.
yeah shoulda done that for sure
someone help a newbie out
earlier I doubted if I should enage with sniper, lost my suprise advantage and lost there as well
fun game tho
yeah sometimes its avoidable
sometimes it isnt
Biggest tip i have for most people, Is forget all the shooters you've played in the past, Treat this as a new one and learn it in baby steps.
You will go far.
are jerrycan always filled?
If you find them in the map.,..yes
is there any way to auto organize your stash?
@steady grove Nope
I think that would take half of the game out
Because most of it is organizing inventory
Dont be afraid to spend money
You aint man
Ya you can make more then a million in a run
Lol im at 27k and rapidly going down
yes
This is my personal runs and it is probably missing a ton of components. But this is how I usually run interchange so enjoy (:
desperately
It’s really simple 0.0

You can get 100k or more if you find a good key in the jackets of factory
Factory is not a loot map
Yea but its fun as hell
You can get lucky with the tiny amount of loot that spawns in the map.
But no real loot spawns there.
Fun yes....loot no
What would be the best map to get money then? 😮
Yea but if you are 0 money I would rather go 10 factory raids
Intechange
Than 10 reserve raids
Can you run low gear builds on interchange?
I'd never say that
Wait isnt reserve the best ?
Yeh you can
Yes. You can loot Oli and Goshan and get out without fighting anyone a lot of the time.
IF you are doing a money run as a scav then Don't go looking for fights. Stick to the back halls and loot....then get out.
reserve is really good but has a steep learning curve and bad extracts
Yea Reserve has good loot but ^
Shoreline has higher tier loot than Interchange but that loot is behind locked doors.
The Tunnel town, cottages, and pier are ok.
and shoreline is not a good map 😄
Caches are goodl
So interchange is the best for no key low gear ?
Interchange however has dozens of PC to loot, 4 tech stores, dozens of weapon crates.
Yes.
Nice thanks
@bold kernel @winter marsh
Items to buy from fleamarket and to sell to vendors:
(i put the items on my wishlist (screenshot) so that i can just go through them quickly between raids to make some extra money)
THERAPIST
-GPHONE = 14.011
-GP Coin = 26.850
-DVD = 6.221
-HANDDRILL = 45.000
-SILICONE TUBE = 14.175
-HORSE FIGURINE = 8.586
-GOLD CHAIN = 28.632
SKIER
-TRITON = 19.074
-SCOUTSNIPER = 14.353
-MK3 RIG = 29.131
lol i didnt know that scav have 7.62x39 BP on their mag
Nikita blessed you with good ammo
and i heared they nerf the scav ammo dou
There appears to be a durability threshold on armored rigs in terms of what traders will accept. Does that sound right?
Yes @nocturne nebula
but pretty sure that scav hunter dont spawn with m61 anymore 
less chance of getting 1 shot
Rats. Selling armored rigs on the flea is a really strange adventure given the dura ranges. Feel like even if I price it low it may go unsold
I never sell weapons or gear on flea. Only tech/hardware stuff.
Make plenty of money
I'm with you but if the dealers won't take my sub-30 dura armored rigs I got nowhere else to go
Should I get everything lvl 1 in my hideout atleast?
@karmic meadow stash extensions lvl 1 is 3.5 mil + some times but gives you +10x10 slots in stash inventory
atleast you should get med + nutrition lvl1
your pmc will heal up faster
got it thanks
Workbench and med stuff probably helps the most. I focused on finishing Hideout because it was new and I wanted to do it. I had experience so knew how to make money so the extra expense of Hideout didn't bother me. I don't regret doing it but if you are new I'd say do Workbench and med stuff (with whatever it requires to do it) and don't worry too much about the rest as you are also figuring out how to make money and survive.
thanks guys
cant believe i got shot 6 times as scav by a mean nvg sniper >:
i just wanted to get out with all the high class loot from the one pmc i domed
accidental night map is a big rip in the chat
hey boys i am new on escape from tarcov but i dont whant to go solo yet anybody whant to help me get in to the game and whant to play with me?

thank you and have a good day
Also welcome to EFT
is it a bad idea to use your pmc at interchange?
No not at all.
However i'd practice the map with Scav first to learn it...or use PMC offline there to learn it.
I recommend offline because this isn't COD or any other shooter you've played. Run and gun sprinting around won't work here. Need to use tactics not just get into spray down fire fights.
Duo romeo who wanna do scav run
