aps btw my bad

faint hinge
#

@bleak token go to rules and setup and read though it to be able to get in here

bleak token
#

Ive done it

#

But the phone veri isnt happenign

faint hinge

spam the reacts until it unlocks for you sometimes it bugs out

errant coyote
#

what armor should i buy if i have guns but no armor?

maiden perch
#

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!

noble sand
#

good ammo is how to stay alive

normal hound
#

how is the prs bullet?

noble sand
#

trash

#

if its less than 500 on flea market, its trash

#

rubbles

maiden perch
#

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)

normal hound
#

for ak 74m?

maiden perch
#

id use BP

bleak token
#

@faint hinge Still jack shit

maiden perch
#

its not that much more expensive really, and it's very effective

normal hound
#

k

#

thanks

#

and t45m?

maiden perch
#

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 -

normal hound
#

lol thanks

maiden perch
#

every damn bullet is dangerous

#

you just want yours to be more dangerous 😛

bleak token
#

There is a spread sheet with ammo types and there effectiveness

maiden perch
#

Remember the game calculates every bullet, and all the shrapnal

#

so if you buy amazing armor

#

great ammo

#

and a 'decent' helmet

normal hound
#

nobody sell bp bullets?

maiden perch
#

but it doesnt cover your ear.

#

prapor does

normal hound
#

he is lvl 1

#

for me

spark marsh
#

u gotta lvl ur traders or buy from flea

#

the flea prices honestly arent bad for higher ammo

normal hound
#

i didt 4 missions for prapor

#

and he didnt lvl up

spark marsh
#

there are other requirements

normal hound
#

like

spark marsh
#

money spent on him and ur player lvl

#

bruh i can only type so fast lol

timber dock
#

@normal hound you can see the requirements for the next level in the top-right corner when you're interacting with the dealer.

normal hound
#

thanks

timber dock
#

The "spent" part is a bit misleading, as both selling and buying items from the dealers count.

magic ravine
#

Anyone wanna team up? Still kind of noobish at this game lol

#

hey boys

#

if anyone needs a beta

#

ill be selling it on fence

feral stream
#

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

spark marsh
#

it might not be open

sonic lake
#

^

lusty light
#

double hit O

#

??? means maybe/not open

feral stream
#

nope its open, green when double tap o

#

counter goes to 0 then doesnt extract you

spark marsh
#

is the light on top of RUAF on

feral stream
#

its bullshit

spark marsh
#

if not then its closed

lusty light
#

bug

#

100% bug then

timber dock
#

Report it in the launcher and carry on.

novel ridge
#

just played a customs , two camping makeshift + main bridge, 1 camping north land bridge, and one camping south, good times

pine shell
#

Just wondering if anyone can help me get to level 5. level 3 atm. basic knowledge

twilit patio
#

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

twilit patio
#

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

pine shell
#

Thanks

how do you rotate items in your stash?

#

Heya, just wondering if anyone was on to help out. I’m about lvl 9 and just got bodied by scavs

novel ridge
#

is there a way to see what weapon was used to kill me?

twilit patio
#

@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

clever rapids
#

I know its been said before, but I despise Customs as a new player. It’s downright awful

craggy sable
#

@twilit patio Thanks fam

sullen kindle
#

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

copper shore
#

and there's very little loot overall

sullen kindle
#

I am pretty awful as a new player but I got killed in woods everytime by a silenced sniper

sonic lake
#

yeah uh night woods is thermal boy territory

sullen kindle
#

It's just ran for your life constantly 👀

mossy meadow
#

how do i rotate things?

sonic lake
#

R

next lichen
#

im shit so i just run scav reserves

copper shore
#

r while you're holding it

mossy meadow
#

thx

clever rapids
#

Also dont go night factory pistol raid with no light. Place is dark! Lol

sonic lake
#

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

clever rapids
#

Woulda been fine if I could have seen where I was walking lol

spice matrix
#

what should i do if i have no gear but a few guns

next lichen
#

scav runs

spice matrix
#

i have 20 mins

sullen kindle
#

Best feel is when you join a almost over raid in factory as a scav, all the dead bodies loot is so pog sometimes

next lichen
#

pmc axe container runs

spice matrix
#

k

sullen kindle
#

Any particular reason why axe ?

next lichen
#

stuff things into that container that are valuable

copper shore
#

it doesn't matter he just means your melee weapon

sullen kindle
#

Ah okay

next lichen
#

ye

copper shore
#

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

next lichen
#

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

twilit patio
#

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

copper shore
#

p sure you cant put guns in your secure container anymore

next lichen
#

cant

#

he just meant having one, not putting it in the case

copper shore
#

ah in-case not in case

next lichen
#

yee

golden wharf
#

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.

spark marsh
#

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 :)

golden wharf
#

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

old lintel
#

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

golden wharf
#

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.

spark marsh
#

Ill invite all of you while I repack a mag anyway

fast rivet
#

@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

spice matrix
#

@fast rivet thanks

fast rivet
#

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

graceful arch
#

my game just faded to black, then I was on the extraction screen saying I survived

#

i was just wandering around woods

copper shore
#

some extracts are a little buggy. my bet would be the outskirts extract on woods

twilit patio
#

were you by the outskirts extract?

#

that extract covers a large area

#

near the scav house

graceful arch
#

yeah i was near there

twilit patio
#

yup

graceful arch
#

i thought i got DCd

twilit patio
#

its like a huge area

#

around the car thingie

copper shore
#

and there's often no indicator if someone else has already taken it

hasty silo
#

sometimes it doesn't show the green countdown timer

twilit patio
#

@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

main sand
#

hey does anyone have an extra epsilon case I can have?

hazy patio
#

I've noticed some videos feature pmcs with different facial hair etc

#

how do you do this?

copper shore
#

they're face slot items

#

pick em up off of scavs

hazy patio
#

weird

#

fair

thick harness
#

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?

copper shore
#

actual character customization is planned but not in yet

sonic lake
#

@main sand cant trade containers anymore

twilit patio
#

yes bosses and their guards will shoot you, maybe guards give a tiny warning to get away, also raiders will insta shoot you

thick harness
#

man thats messed up i had shturman in my scope for like 5 seconds thinking it wasnt him

main sand
#

oh you can't? drn

thick harness
#

had a keycard and like 300k in loot 😦

twilit patio
#

ouchy

sonic lake
#

yeah. BSG wants everyone to buy EOD lul

#

so you gotta grind punisher

main sand
#

makes sense I guess

twilit patio
#

tarkov gives another hard lesson redhat^^

main sand
#

annoying tho 😦

copper shore
#

i mean supposedly they plan on lessening the difference between the different editions

thick harness
#

wouldnt people be able to just trade their gamma containers then reset their account if you could trade cases

twilit patio
#

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

copper shore
#

I did mine in pieces

plucky reef
#

stashing the iskra and water for jaeger does water need 60/60 and i can just do them separately?

twilit patio
#

no and yes

#

it doesnt need to be full and you can do it by whatever order and each item

sonic lake
#

@main sand yeah it sucks, just finished punisher and wanted to give beta to a buddy but turns out i cant

twilit patio
#

uh well at least i think it doesnt to be full, i forgot :}

copper shore
#

it doesn't

twilit patio
#

ok good^^

copper shore
#

same as you can make moonshine out of 1/70 sugars

#

though there's not much of a reason to consume any sugar

twilit patio
#

oh that reminds me when accidentally ate the whole mayonese and died from dehydration, good times

copper shore
#

on the bright side you learned how to do the jaeger quest

bold kernel
#

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

twilit patio
#

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

copper shore
#

what extract was it? might be easier to figure out what happened from that

signal bone
#

Am I able to just jump into beginners assistance voice chat and group up?

#

🤔

sage holly
#

is there anyone that runs with new people still learnign

#

learnin

#

learning

bold kernel
#

@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?

twilit patio
#

Probably server lag, you were already mia

bold kernel
#

oh

twilit patio
#

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

bold kernel
#

should the screen go automatically dark when timer ends

#

not with, like 5 secs delay?

twilit patio
#

it takes few seconds more on me as well

#

btw

#

tip

bold kernel
#

in that 5 secs i ran to extract point and extract timer began to run

twilit patio
#

if you drop your gear

#

insured

#

before timer ends

bold kernel
#

i was scav

twilit patio
#

you get it back

#

if its on you

bold kernel
#

but had good gear killing a pmc

#

😐

twilit patio
#

you loose it

#

yes but remember this if it happens as pmc

bold kernel
#

oh

#

ok bro

#

ty for tip

twilit patio
#

drop all the insured before timer ends

#

or else its gone :/

#

np, bad luck m8

bold kernel
#

btw what gfx settings should i adjust to lower to get more fps but the game still be looking good with imporant details?

twilit patio
#

uhh i am not ingame now if you can post your graphic settings for people to help here

#

screenshot i mean(

bold kernel
#

brb pmc raid

twilit patio
#

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

copper shore
#

you can also probably safely bump overall visibilty down a notch

twilit patio
#

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?

copper shore
#

I'm pretty sure that's a side effect of having your shadow visibilty low

twilit patio
#

hmm, ok i will try turn it up when i am in that map, it kinda ruins the atmosphere sometimes

bold kernel
#

lol why do people have those infrared scopes

#

its imbalanced

#

whereever i hide they kill me

copper shore
#

it definitely does but the performance benefit outweighs that con

signal fable
#

If I insure a backpack, do I only get the backpack or all the items in it also?

copper shore
#

only the backpack or any items that were insured that were in the backpack

bold kernel
#

atleast now i can safely set my gfx's

copper shore
#

you insure on an individual item basis not on the contents

twilit patio
#

if you click insure all it will insure everything

sour plume
#

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

bold kernel
#

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

twilit patio
#

bullets are gone eitherway

copper shore
#

well you can't insure ammo

bold kernel
#

yeah

twilit patio
#

thats why people keep a lot of good bullets inside container

bold kernel
#

but feels bad that i didnt get to use em

twilit patio
#

and refill the mags as they go

#

ouch

bold kernel
#

i had 1 mag in container

#

how do i get bigger container?

twilit patio
#

not mag, you keep the bullets

bold kernel
#

i have 4 slots

twilit patio
#

in the container

sour plume
#

buy eod or do tasks

bold kernel
#

okay well

copper shore
#

work towards The Punisher tasks from prapor

bold kernel
#

i had 75 bullet drum mag on weapon and rest of bullets in 1x 30mag in container

twilit patio
#

oucht

sour plume
#

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

bold kernel
#

lol im far away from those vendor levels then

sour plume
#

didn't pestily upload a vid where he showed himself doing every single task and getting lvl 40 within 24 hours? lol

twilit patio
#

lol

#

he is crazy

#

he can probably extract with his eyes closed

sour plume
#

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

bold kernel
#

😄

copper shore
#

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

bold kernel
#

im still trying to complete the shotgun task

twilit patio
#

To be honest, i do not invest time in tasks, i want to learn the game, after wipe i will focus more

sour plume
#

it's still a nice goal tho cause you at least get the epsilon along the way

bold kernel
#

need 1 mp133 shotgun nowz

sour plume
#

tasks are a great way to learn the game, forces you to learn pve, pvp and learn maps

copper shore
#

and for that you only really need to focus on prapor

#

yea

twilit patio
#

kill 4 pmcs with pistol forces you to learn the game?

sour plume
#

yes it does

copper shore
#

and they force you out of your comfort zone

twilit patio
#

ok

#

lol

bold kernel
#

i was killed by a pro player is there a big chance he wont take anything from me ?

sour plume
#

(you dont have to do that task for the kappa btw)

bold kernel
#

i was hiding in remote bushes anyhow i bet nobody else will find my corpse

#

my akm was beautiful tho

#

it had silencer too

copper shore
#

yes there is a chance

sour plume
#

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

twilit patio
#

I just hope they change the quests do this while wearing this, kill this with this, i do not like them at all

bold kernel
#

i almost killed him

copper shore
#

you'd be surprised what you get back from insurance sometimes

sour plume
#

not that it's hard to get pistol kills because the sr1mp and five seven are both ridiculous

bold kernel
#

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

sour plume
#

for pistols

bold kernel
#

he must have had that thermal scope

twilit patio
#

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

bold kernel
#

maybe i go train pistol killing with scav now

solid birch
#

how do u change the crosshair on ur reflex scope?

sour plume
#

if it has a different one i believe the default bind is alt+right click

solid birch
#

alright thanks i will test it out

bold kernel
#

alt right click without aiming is the one

#

was mistake trying it while aiming a weapon

#

clicked wrong mousebutton

#

enemies heard me

opaque frost
#

could anyone show a new player the ropes?

bold kernel
#

what was good ammo for ak 545x39

mellow tundra
#

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?

bold kernel
#

@mellow tundra this i want to know too

#

do player scavs keep on spawning in new waves and mpc's too?

copper shore
#

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

bold kernel
#

so in the end of the timer most people are dead and its safer?

copper shore
#

yes

bold kernel
#

lol that makes things easier

#

i mean knowing that

#

and also makes easier to know when people camp exits then and so on

old lintel
#

people can always camp extract though

bold kernel
#

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

tough elk
#

hey hanging out in the beginers assistance channel would like some help

scarlet breach
#

Only if they made the extract zones radioactive, it would also help locate them

copper shore
#

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

scarlet breach
#

Factory is camp magnet

copper shore
#

yea but in that room they're super easy to defeat

bold kernel
#

i have like 20-30 raids and ive seen 4 exit campers i think

copper shore
#

just save a grenade

calm gyro
#

Where is the extortionist task from skier done?

copper shore
#

do you have the key?

bold kernel
#

how effective grenades are?

#

if some guy has high level armors

copper shore
#

yea

bold kernel
#

like, in a room

copper shore
#

in my experience at least armor doesn't help a whole lot against grenades

bold kernel
#

okay

#

i wonder how much is the effective explosion range of a grenade

#

how many meters

copper shore
#

depends on the grenade

bold kernel
#

approximately

#

from shitty grenade to good?

calm gyro
#

Na i dont have the key

#

and also never really played customs ):

copper shore
#

iirc m-67 does the best damage and has the best range but also has the longest delay

bold kernel
#

okay

#

but like

#

can i survive any grenade if i am like 5meters away

copper shore
#

3-9 meters for m67 according to the game page

bold kernel
#

does every grenade almost surely kill within 3m radius?

#

oh

#

i should get grenades with me more often then

copper shore
#

yea

#

I'm trying to use them more

bold kernel
#

what if i take 20grenades

#

go resort shoreline

#

throw em

copper shore
#

if you throw them you'll surely level your strength

solemn otter
#

is there a way to unbug the menu without reatarting the game?

bold kernel
#

😄

#

ive seen couple of times squads close together in resort at shoreline

#

in a hallway

#

too bad didnt have grenades with me

copper shore
#

for a long time I was saving them like potions in an rpg

bold kernel
#

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

pine shell
#

anyone that can help a level 3 out message me 😩

bold kernel
#

i can help you lose your dogtags

#

I have 2 dogtags and other one is level2 guy's

pine shell
#

😦

bold kernel
#

im not proud yet

copper shore
#

@solemn otter not that I know of, I usually just restart

pine shell
#

i just fail to extract as a pmc

bold kernel
#

me too for a long time

#

i only have 4 succesful extracts as a pmc

calm gyro
#

How do you split ammo?

#

like bullets i mean

copper shore
#

hold control and drag it to an empty slot

ctrl and drag

anyone up for help?

rapid silo
#

Whats a good armor combo for under 200 000 roubles

bold kernel
#

why do i get lag spikes when i encounter enemies or start shooting them?

rapid silo
#

you probably need to put tarkov on your ssd

bold kernel
#

its fun to know enemies are close as a lag spike comes

rapid silo
#

or get more ram

bold kernel
#

i have it on my ssd

rich cloak
#

@rapid silo best imo is a tactec vest with whatever you have for your head

ok

night pulsar
#

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

copper shore
#

the trick is to pick your fights

night pulsar
#

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

copper shore
#

don't play factory as a new player

#

after labs it's the hardest map for new players

naive atlas
#

@night pulsar ammo type and armor make a big difference

uneven sedge
#

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

solid birch
#

why does the guy teleport and where do i get shot in the end? 😄

manic elbow
#

That person lagged hard... So hard it looks like a Teleport.

#

And then I cannot tell where you were getting shot from.

#

😦

#

cant believe he hit me throax when he lags like that

So i lost everything......Noob life

I think there was a second shooter

solid birch

yeah from the back I guess, coming to check the shots

bold kernel
#

how do i reload bullets into mags faster/instantly during raid?

karmic meadow
#

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

bold kernel
#

😄

#

i wonder what mags are good then

#

6L23 are the ones im using now

karmic meadow
#

I think your character skill matter more

bold kernel
#

okay

terse narwhal
#

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

bold kernel
#

why do i get lag in pvp?

#

i start shooting and i get screen lag spikes

#

usually during the first shots

solid birch
#

is it even worth using level 3 armor?

craggy sable
#

@solid birch Its good protection against scavs, thats about it tho.

solid birch
#

mmh alright

copper shore
#

I think it's worth it

timber karma
#

for Skiier first task, does it have to be specific armor and shotguns?

vernal anchor
#

Cheap level 3 can stop common rounds which is nice

copper shore
#

@timber karma 3m armor

#

and TOZ

vernal anchor
#

You need to hand over module 3m armor and Toz shotguns

copper shore
#

shotguns

timber karma
#

thanks

solid birch
#

you have to do quests again on a wipe right?

bold kernel
#

what is best place to find those 3m armors for that quest @vernal anchor

vernal anchor
#

Scavs mainly, but you can also buy it off of the market if you want to

wicked sphinx
#

you can find them on factory in loose item locations.

bold kernel
#

yeah but what scavs where

#

i havent found any of those armors for 10 games

vernal anchor
#

Its random

bold kernel
#

okay

#

im unlucky then

#

what are best 2x scopes?

#

i mean cheapest ?

#

feels like 1x sights are useless

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?

unreal totem
#

how do i get into beginners assistance?

ashen trail
#

you probably ask

unreal tulip
#

what happens if i sell an insured item?

terse narwhal
#

@midnight gull your kd on other shooters isnt really applicable to tarkov

midnight gull
#

Oh?

terse narwhal
#

@unreal tulip a bit of wasted money but your choice if you just need to get rid of it

rich cloak
#

your kd dont mean shit in tarkov

lilac dawn
#

It does

rich cloak
#

what you need is knowledge and a basic understanding of the games mechanics

midnight gull
#

@lilac dawn Why do you have a differing opinion?

onyx silo
#

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

midnight gull
#

I normally don't care about K/D myself, but I feel like I should ask considering you lose gear on each death

bold kernel
#

is 1.94 kd ratio good

#

on 8lvl char

limpid pendant
#

in this game, you can have no kills and still come out on top

languid flare
#

KD is iffy in this game. It counts Scavs

bold kernel
#

how do you know which way is north

languid flare
#

Sun

bold kernel
#

oh lol

limpid pendant
#

all bout that cheese

bold kernel
#

the sun for real?

limpid pendant
#

yes

bold kernel
#

thats cool

languid flare
#

The sun, for real

bold kernel
#

so how do i know from the sun

languid flare
#

Landmarks too if you know map a lil

limpid pendant
#

or look at a map and base it off of landmarks

languid flare
#

@bold kernel
The sun is like in RL
Just know the time roughly and you are golden.

bold kernel
#

yeah i get that its like RL but i dont know how to tell north from the sun IRL

limpid pendant
#

sun rises in east and set in the west

languid flare
#

... well.

Sun goes up in the east, wanders south (noon) and wanders west

limpid pendant
#

figure out the rest from that

bold kernel
#

so if its 1pm then the sun is west

languid flare
#

SW

bold kernel
#

why sw

languid flare
#

Cause... it doesnt jump 90° instantly?

golden wharf
#

Any games i can join?

bold kernel
#

hey its begginer questions dont judge me

#

ok so when its like

#

6-7pm when it sets

#

then its straight west?

languid flare
#

More or less straight west, yes

bold kernel
#

ok thanks

languid flare
#

Depending HOW realistic they made the sun

#

But those few degrees dont matter much

bold kernel
#

ok also

#

is there like a party system

#

ive just bought the game its real begginer questions

grim karma
#

hey

vernal anchor

Yes you can team up with up to 5 people

how do I join beginner chat

you can now

where is dorms on customs

#

i can't find it

@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.

limpid pendant
#

@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

@timber dock okay

You probably have alot of unuseful stuff so you might just get a scav junk box

storm estuary

how

winter marsh
#

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.

thick harness
#

@storm estuary see if you can stack backpacks or disassemble some stuff to make room

bold kernel
#

@storm estuary are u in scav transfer screen

thick harness
#

I've done that it sucks. Make sure you have space before you scav

storm estuary
#

yes

brittle bridge
#

@winter marsh watch pestily and other good players s gameplay and learn from that

bold kernel
#

@storm estuary discard something thats not expensive, use https://eft-loot.com/ to find out their worth

Browse Escape from Tarkov Flea Market item prices. Compare thousands items based on their market price or price per slot. Including weapons, gear, keys, loot, mods, provisions and more

thick harness
#

You might be able to disassemble some guns and discard mags or something to make space

limpid pendant
#

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

thick harness
#

Or stack backpacks

winter marsh
#

@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.

timber dock
#

@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)

bold kernel
#

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

Or isi it worth should i say

is it worth to buy that junkbox from flea when i have just little over 1mil

Honestly man, you're poor as fuck

I'd recommend scav runs and directly extract

Alright, thank you for that tip!

timber dock

@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

@winter marsh On the official website you can reset your account and get back what you recieve through the standard edition

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.

jovial fractal

I was thinking about that yesterday actually

timber dock

@winter marsh Well, you could always try and kill them first.

winter marsh
#

@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

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

winter marsh
#

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?

karmic meadow
#

yes

#

although I think if your stash is empty Prapor gives you a gun everyday

#

for free

Oh, alright.

21 day reset?

winter marsh

Do you keep your items in your pouch?

If you reset?

are you talking about the profile reset?

Yeah

sour plume

you go back to the same as you were when you created the account

winter marsh

was that two enemies Im pretty sure thats the same guy

@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

dusk token
#

oh theres two

jovial fractal
#

@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

timber dock
#

@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?

rocky ocean
#

@winter marsh i can help you out if you dont want to reset

#

@bold kernel if you have the money go for it

sour plume
#

at lvl 8 for some reason I doubt you need the space from the junkbox

winter marsh
#

@rocky ocean I could def use some help.

bold kernel
#

i almost do

#

how much should i pay for it max?

sour plume

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

@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

rocky ocean
#

you need to level up the traders for better gear and to unlock tasks

dusk token
#

obviously they werent experienced but like they had a lot more gear haha

winter marsh
#

@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.

Level all of them.

@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

jovial fractal
#

@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

winter marsh
#

@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.

jovial fractal
#

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

@winter marsh customs is good you need to learn the map that is the prob like where are spawns hotzones ects

clever minnow

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

Most extracts are through a pretty bad choke point or behind lots of scavs

#

@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

winter marsh
#

@jovial fractal I haven't seen a layout of Shoreline.. 😅

rocky ocean
#

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

jovial fractal
#

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

winter marsh
#

Lot of players on Customs, come full geared, ready to clear the f out of Dorms and Gas station.

jovial fractal
#

Then safely extracting along the edge of the map

winter marsh
#

My biggest loot has been 70k

jovial fractal
#

As my confidence grew I starting taking in AKM variants or SKS's

@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

amber fiber
jovial fractal
#

@amber fiber Ive seen plenty of people smoke through a balaclava lol

clever minnow
#

okay, so m700 with random scope felt way less responsive than I expected

winter marsh
#

@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..

jovial fractal
#

@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

hidden meteor
#

What you guys talking about

jovial fractal

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

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.

Why is everything on the market sell for alyonka bars, and where do you get them?

waxen forge
#

@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.

@hidden meteor Good loot vid

jovial fractal
#

@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

bold kernel
#

Why sometimes exits that are shown as viable don't work when you go to them?

jovial fractal
#

I still dont entirely know what to loot still, just anything I dont see often or is purple lol

hidden meteor
#

@waxen forge it’s really easy ain’t it?

#

@jovial fractal I mean, that's way more than I know so ... xD

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

@waxen forge got pmc role, thanks

a beginner needing help finding extracts in either customs or woods

waxen forge

@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.

winter marsh
#

@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

clever minnow
#

based of this convo, im dropping in shorline for first time now 😎

bold kernel
#

@bold kernel Dm'd you a link of a map to prevent uneeded links here.

waxen forge
#

@bold kernel 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.

Use Internet Maps on 2nd screen to help you learn.

#

@winter marsh Practice it offline

regal zinc
#

Can someone tell me the specific difference in when to enter a raid?

waxen forge
#

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

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.

clever minnow

earlier I doubted if I should enage with sniper, lost my suprise advantage and lost there as well

#

fun game tho

bold kernel
#

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

what about the flea market

#

nvm there is a ressource bar

steady grove

is there any way to auto organize your stash?

waxen forge
#

@steady grove Nope

fresh umbra
#

I think that would take half of the game out

#

Because most of it is organizing inventory

hidden meteor
#

I started off pretty well

I never went below the 300k I was given

You can get 100k or more if you find a good key in the jackets of factory

waxen forge
#

Factory is not a loot map

fresh umbra
#

Yea but its fun as hell

waxen forge
#

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

karmic meadow
#

What would be the best map to get money then? 😮

fresh umbra
#

Yea but if you are 0 money I would rather go 10 factory raids

waxen forge
#

Intechange

fresh umbra
#

Than 10 reserve raids

karmic meadow
#

Can you run low gear builds on interchange?

waxen forge
#

I'd never say that

fresh umbra
#

Wait isnt reserve the best ?

hidden meteor
#

Yeh you can

waxen forge
#

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.

rich cloak
#

reserve is really good but has a steep learning curve and bad extracts

waxen forge
#

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.

rich cloak
#

and shoreline is not a good map 😄

waxen forge
#

Caches are goodl

fresh umbra
#

So interchange is the best for no key low gear ?

waxen forge
#

Interchange however has dozens of PC to loot, 4 tech stores, dozens of weapon crates.

#

Yes.

fresh umbra
#

Nice thanks

@bold kernel @winter marsh

-HANDDRILL = 45.000

-HORSE FIGURINE = 8.586
-GOLD CHAIN = 28.632

Nikita blessed you with good ammo

fickle kettle
#

and i heared they nerf the scav ammo dou

nocturne nebula
#

There appears to be a durability threshold on armored rigs in terms of what traders will accept. Does that sound right?

rich cloak
#

they did by beinging in more 762 NATO

#

but its still random

waxen forge
#

Yes @nocturne nebula

fickle kettle
#

but pretty sure that scav hunter dont spawn with m61 anymore catshanka

#

less chance of getting 1 shot

nocturne nebula
#

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

waxen forge
#

I never sell weapons or gear on flea. Only tech/hardware stuff.

#

Make plenty of money

nocturne nebula
#

I'm with you but if the dealers won't take my sub-30 dura armored rigs I got nowhere else to go

karmic meadow
#

Should I get everything lvl 1 in my hideout atleast?

rocky ocean
#

@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

karmic meadow
#

got it thanks

waxen forge
#

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.

karmic meadow

thanks guys

Also welcome to EFT

steady grove
#

is it a bad idea to use your pmc at interchange?

waxen forge
#

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.
