T45M is where it's at
I feel like I shouldn't trust
Don't listen please
😒

srs
what weapon sight can i put on the fal
Any
i just the Ak dude and i saw PP ammo
@fallen hollow almost any
how do i put it on
I like the HAMR, @fallen hollow
cause it wont let m,e
HAMR is nice also doesn't suffer from sens issues
ive been at the awaiting session start thing for like 6 minutes now should i restart?
I would
tarkov takes so long to close for some reason
How do you power the generator? From what I've read you need liquid fuel. Advice?
Metal or expeditionary fuel tanks
after .12.1 my loading screen have been taking forever and after i complete a raid it takes like 1min to 1min and 30 seconds
to get back to menu
i dont know what they did but they fucked me
@trim herald they cost 100k on the Flea Market. where's the best place to find them in Raid?
@trim herald thanks for the advice, at station there were only 2 but 2 more towards tunnels
I play better with cheap weapons
with expensive weapons I am too slow
So BP is best 762. What about 556?
BS
m995

@bold kernel Oli on Interchange, back shelves
thanks
@bold kernel Glad it worked out for you, I did the run a shitload of times to get my stupid scav sniper kills for a later quest
Worth getting a gamma for 3.2 mil instead of epsilon for 1.3mil? I have a Beta rn
@nocturne flax M995, but 855A1 is solid.
is it just me or are there player-scavs who just wander around looking to shoot people and have no intention of trying to extract? I ran into a player-scav on Interchange with 3 mins remaining
@tribal cove Where the fuck is that gamma?
On flea
You shouldn't be able to sell Gammas on Flea
@trim herald look on #screenshots i just missed one
how do you search for containers on flea
Oh that's Fence
Yea
Guess it only happens when someone gets their Kappa
So I doubt it'll be any time soon
Actually I saw 2 gammas in 15 min
is it ever worth buying stuff from fence?
containers are
And 1 epsilon
So worth 3.2 mil for gamma instead of 1 slot less for 1.3mil (epsilon)
@fringe vine Maybe 1 out of a 10000 times
if you have the money and dont plan on getting Kappa I would say yeah it is worth
what cheap ish sight can i put on the FAL
What optic do you like?
i love the Kappa
can stack that shit with all my heals and ammo and paracord
and thicc case
the mini one
sicc*
After I get a better case I can finnaly get a paracord to carry for extracts
yeah its awesome for woods and reserve
I was tempted to get the Kappa this wipe but I just cba to actually do some of these quests 😄
you got liek 2.5 months
you can do it
there are so many newbies
they easy kills 
but shooter born in heaven took me like 14 days
of failed attempts
i got lucky with grenadier
i got like 7 kills at the beginning because idiots would camp hermatic
and then they stopped
I've had 2 so far just playing normally
weve been witnessing new people getting killed with comtacs
so i tried to leg hatclings on factory and nade them but they proved to be dodgy little bastards
I guess I could just spam factory more and nade people in the factory office
from being snuck up on. its strange
But eh, cba 😄
Surprisingly, the quest that I thought I would have issues with, shotgun PMC kills on Customs, has been fine so far. 8 kills in 3 runs without actually trying for it, just using a shotgun while helping a friend out with debut
yeah i was scared of that one too
i tried so many different ammo types
i stuck with the magnum buck shot
good lord im such absolute trash tier garbage at this game lmao
AP-20 has been amazing for me, Agi
LLU
@trim herald got it
my last 10 games in a row have just been me running around for 15 minutes trying to figure out where i am then getting run up on and butt blasted by someone out of nowhere lul
@tribal cove Good for you dude!
@outer elbow 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.
@outer elbow I'd recommend playing offline to get a feel for the maps
im thinking of what are the odds youd get your own your first wipe
what makes interchange good for loot
ive played it a few times but never made it out
Barter goods
What sells well is Tech and hardware needed for tasks and Hideouts.
It will sell better and more consistently than gear/weapons.
How can i collect the money from a sold item on the flea market?
Well. I had 11.6 mil and I've been waiting for 1h on the flea to get an epsilon. My friend gave me a beta 1 week ago. @sinful fern
Plus tech/hardware takes up less room in a bag so you can pack more of it in per run than guns/gear.
youve not been doing quests?
to see how far you are from epsilon
but i mean you have money its not a biggie
@sinful fern I did quests, most traders are lvl 2, but I didnt start the punisher quests on parpor yet.(i am lvl 15)
gotcha
That's really good pace bud
no i just didnt want you to buy it
Fast
if you were close to getting it
Oh. I still have to do a lot of tasks to get to it
Oh wait, you bought the epsilon rather than get it from quests? Fair 😄
yeah youre good
just got labs card
anyone want to run with a noob i need some help making money and learning the game
Same I could use someone to watch my back on Customs

Newbie here, wondering if anyone can go over some need to know things at all or does anyone wanna play together?
how does coop work? does it match you with other people that are teamed up?
im down to play

YOu are in the map with anybody. Could be solo people, two man, 5 man. Any level.
@waxen forge Thank you very much 😄
Thank you for your dedication to educating noobs Bud, you're greatly appreciated.
Hey, I was wondering.
@trim herald I didnt start the punisher quests yet so there is a long way and when I get it I can just sell it. I think it was totaly worth it
anyone wanna play?
\
None of you guys with WHITE names can see 95% of discord including #pvp-lfg and the voice channels
@last mason sure
What would matter the most on an ADAR build?
how do i see the chanels

i know im really late but someone was talking about people not hearing other people like 10min ago and took me forever to find the clip
@last mason sure! im pretty new to it all
What is a good gun to start with, and which mods and why? I'm looking something that can go full-auto for close quarters combat, and something good for long-range headshots?
I heard the AK-xxN is good
I'm aware that ammo is important.
they have long meidum range and cqc capabilities
A good weapon is the one using good ammo
did all the stuff in set up and rules but i dont think i have pmc role still
IF it doesn’t work can PM the @ contact moderator bot for help. @outer elbow
I figured the ammo matters more,
But regarding attachments and the likes.
And the type of ammo it can take
Ammo is the most important thing in Tarkov
74n is good. It's 5.45x39 so you want to use BT and up ammo. However if you don't have flea yet you will only be able to run the ammo you can buy from Prapor
Hey guys, quick question. What key goes to the checkpoint infront of gas station at customs?
Factory key
K thanks
To use the cut through
You can also jump it from both sides
Is it on the flea market?
Examine it on Flea though
As it has uses and people will try to scam by selling a low use one
Yes
can someone send the prices website?
I don't use it. Prices fluctuate so much.
You'll get a feel of how much stuff is worth from playing honestly
Techlight, IDEA offices, Texho
any advice for extracting from Interchange? running down the ramp is a recipe for getting sniped
hey so on reserve, it says on the sewer manhole extract that I dont fit, what does that mean?
you can't extract through the manhole if you have a backpack on
thanks
I can't find any variant of these am I doing smth wrong
Are the RIP 9x19 rounds good for leg meta?
thanks
Is there any1 other way to upgrade my secured container without buy it?
Is there a good list of what keys to bring for customs?
punisher 6 awards you epsilon container
just my luck i find a wcase when i dont have a BP and cant carry it
what do i even do
@lament sundial Leg meta doesn't really exist, it takes so much longer than jsut having good ammo in the first place
who gives me the punisher 6 quest??
should i try to find a BP
I mean 102 damage per shot + 100% fragmentation chance sounds pretty scary to me 😦
But I do see your point
Well shit
Shotgun RIP slugs CAN work
But it's harder as legs are more awkward to hit often, especially at range with the deviation that's inherent in shotguns
If I don't have parts unlocked through loyalty can't I find them through linked research?
@visual sigil prapor, one of his last quests
is there any1 that can assist me in doing the BP depot?
Yeah you can Bams, somehow sometimes it doesnt work at all
On your Vypr it says it's for AR15 but when I do linked search it puts the tag AR-15
might be the reason
Thank you @solemn depot 😁 i need to do a bit of grinding it seems
Is it possible to give one of my secure containers to a friend in this patch?
No
yes
I believe so
I equip it and drop it in a raid?
yea
No
since i cant put it into my backbag
You cannot do that
no ?
how can i get a role ?
put it in bag
You can't put it in a bag either
The only way is selling it to Fence and hoping your friend buys it first
then why can you find them inmarked room
You can't find secure containers in marked room
what's in room 118?
Dorms?

he went to run into dorms but it was locked Xd
RIP him
About 100k for the FLIR
What's the deal with Woods' South V Ex ? If there's no car is it too late/early to extract from there with the 3kP ?
noice
It's pretty awful
ahw
Also wtf is that gun 😄
What level was he?
truly troll gun
only 3 level so far. what's the easiest big case to go for?
scav player
?
saiga 9, flir, rk2, klassika. wtf
can people sell containers on flea?
Will the holes in face shields be gone if you repair them?
Allegedly yes, but I've never tried it
If the shield has taken a round I just sell it and buy fresh

oh 1 dvd 1 flat scredriver
yup
ummm but pretty sure that circuit is very easy to find
it common just like the dvd
how do you unlock jager?
2x circuit = 1 60 round M4 mag
quest from mechanic
!wiki introduction

romm was that a barter ?
i have a full inv tho :/
take mags/grips off ur guns
Yeah Avi, lvl 2 PK or something
hmm never use them b4
ima just sell some guns
Sells for 40k+ even if you don't use the M4
cause i basically never use them anyway
okay
i got a backend error thing
Ahla avi
im stuck on a loading screen after my raid
yup
i swear to god if my stuff doesnt transfer
the sever is being silly a bit den
servers acting funny for anyone else?
Yeah just got booted from a match
the market wont load for me
@rare lark weapon case and filled it full of guns
jeez 2 mil from one raid
grimmz has a video of him making 9.2 mill off one raid
servers having issues for anyone else??
dudes a beaaaaaaaaast
ya sever being silly
it was a reserve pistol run
i'm having some issues rn yeah
Servers gone doen for everyone?
alright good to know it's not just me
bleh I only lost like 50k off a raid when the server died and my stomach feels sick
yep I just couldnt load back in again
1000 - backend error
@rare lark wdym lmao
oh really?
well i was doing reserved mark room run
found the weapons case in marked room
couldnt carry it since i didnt bring a bp
was planning to extract through manhole
hello i need some help
@bold kernel speak
went and killed like 9 scavs until i found a scav bp
what do you need help sir
i cant seem to get full access to the discord
grabbed the case and filled it with all the guns from the scavs i killed
you have to sign up to the rules
ive done everything but it still isnt opening it all to me
do ur reactions
oh
undo and redo them
@bold kernel that mean the bot being silly
hey
@hollow yew bought this game a month ago. still dont know whats going on
lmao
@waxen forge get ur speech ready. There is a new player in here!
oh god
So before when I was going into a raid with my PMC it said I didn't have the map for the area? How do I get one?
I believe you can buy it off the rapist but I'd stick to maps you get online
@bold kernel hf dying now 
So before when I was going into a raid with my PMC it said I didn't have the map for the area? How do I get one?
@bold kernel you have to buy it of therapist but you're better off checking it on a second monitor via internet or on your phone, community made maps shows extraction points etc
Therapist
oh lmao
haha
if a player loots my insured items, i won't get that back, right?
right
where can I report bugs?
gg
you get back your items only if no one extracts with them
so your only chance is that this player gets shots by a scav and the scav doesn't loot him
makes sense, to avoid duping
it's still worth to insure all your gear everytime tho
and also realistic
is offline working?
no
my game is still finishing its install
Is dead
rip
Hey guys is the game down? I'm getting infinite loading & error 1000 backend. I restarted the launcher as an admin and it says error downloading essential data
football is in two hours so
yup
How long do maps "last"? Like I join a game is that a fresh server and everyone just joined or could it have been running for hours?
says i have to reinstall the game
they only last like 40 minutes on the largest of maps from what ive seen.
the launcher isn't working either
If you're on a PMC i believe its a fresh game but if you are on a scav its random times that you will be put in.
@lethal meteor Raids last from like 25-45 min, depending on map.
As PMC you should always spawn at the start.
As SCAV its somewhat random
So every PMC shares the same exfil countdown?
@lethal meteor a raid lasts for a set amount of time depending on the map. longest i know is 55mins ifrc
yes
The raid has the countdown not each PMC
not to the second but pretty close
Gotcha. The distinction between Scav/PMC there was what I was missing
Yeah, Scav spawn in AT a random time
scavs spawn in randomly
anyone have a problem joining a game
yeas
is it possible to upgrade my game edition? without having to pay for a whole new package
yes
When selecting a map what determines the difficulty it's marked as (insane and such)
Hmmm
tbh i dont think the difficulty matters
FUCK I was returning from a raid and it kicked me out after extract in the middle of loading the stats of the game
need help cause it wont let me start the game, (205 205 bad id) thats what it says in a error message
will I have all of the equipement??
are the servers down
yesss
F servers
shit
servers are downnn
wait
installing tarkov takes a year
no... we just said. theyre down
idk im only getting to profile data loading
when i upgrade my game edition does it wipe my character and which one do i have to buy to get gamma case
hey chaps, i think my game just exploded
How effective is armor? should it be considered mandatory when doing a PMC run?
depend on the grade and yes/no
servers are downnn
ohhh, that makes sense
yup
Do we keep stuff?
so i dragged my scav with both legs broken and a bleeding spleen half across the map for nothing?
that poor bastard
@lofty sedge what
Well I finished the run but couldn't transfer loot
I just bought the game and i managed to play 2 games of offline to practice now it says i have bad profile id and cant start the game up
servers are down
Ohhh makes sense
anyone knows how long till the get back up? is this maintenance or the just blew up?
when i upgrade my game edition does it wipe my character and which one do i have to buy to get gamma case
but the launcher does show the servers online...
Also what is that task schedule that you can run to constantly clear reserved memory when you go on resource manager or whatever it is
🤷♂️
now that were all stuck here, how optimized is the game? i got it last night
gonna drink my sorrows away
Funny how i just bought the game 20 minutes ago and servers are down
^
@spare cairn Per forum post since an update profile reset no longer needed; "You will get your items in the game messenger and your stash will be upgraded after restarting the game. "
I did 2 games of offline with horde bots on factory and my game was v v smooth
im running a 1080TI on an I5 6600K no overclocking @1440P and cant get avobe 60fps
on ultra
May want to OC that 6600k
Lmao i have i7 9700k and amd 480 gpu no overclock fps was like 90
Why so many players shoots without aiming?
any up to date videos for loot runs in customs?
they do that because hip firing is faster than aiming then shooting @karmic meadow
@lavish lintel at what rez
1920 1080
im running 2560 1440
My gpu is shit it just has alot of memory
is it a point shooting or a circle when hip firing?
Dont run high graphics if your fps doesnt handle it lol
im going amd soon
its alot less accurate but if your close up to your enemy than hip firirng is easier
There are streamers with 10k pcs on medium settings and still get 60-70 fps
aight ty
my 6600k is starting to lag behind
why comtacts dont help you at all
idk why its not stable for me ive been trying to figure it out
Yeah i used to have one of those before christmas and since i bought i7 its almost double if not more in quality
@lavish lintel streaming beats the sht out of the cpu
Plus that cpu sells as used for like 70 pound
yup, has a nice resell value
Yeah but they have 1 pc for the game and another to stream
had at least, cause now AMD is kicking intel all over the place
The rich ones anyway
Eh, for gaming AMD and Intel are basically on par
Like there's maybe a 1 fps difference between them
I dislike amd especially gpus their software is wank in my opinion
yup, but amd cuts the price in half and gives you a sht load of cores to have fun with
never owned AMD and i feel the same way kazuki
are we products of nvidias marketing i wonder 😄
Im saving for an nvidia gpu
I mean they don't. Their top end CPU's are about the same price as the top end Intel stuff iirc
@lavish lintel im not leaving green team, even when their prices went bananas
Sure, if you do workstation stuff, then AMD are way better
Everything in my pc is actually decent now apart from the gpu and ssd
But for gaming they're very similar in performance and pricing
im gonna skip this gen, no point in spending 1300 usd in a gtx 2080ti
Isnt your pc worth that much already
I got a 2080TI because why the fuck not
I just killed a loaded out guy with a hk416 reapir with a ir scanner, what does the ir scanner do?
All these people with money to dash out i need some of that
@trim herald agree... I do some workstation shit so i will be putting those sweet sweet cores to good use
IR scanner?
it was on the laser sight description
obvoiusly cant check in game atm but thats what i saw
Oh, the LS321?
@trim herald i thought of getting a 2080ti at first, but dropping almost 1.5 grands for a meager 15 to 20% improvement doesnt make sense
It has a fourth setting, still has the same hip fire tightening effect, but doesn't show as a visible laser
ahh i see i was clicking and didnt see anything
considering that last gen costed half as much
how do u know its on?
@valid silo Yeah, I wasn't going to get one but my old card died under warranty so I bought a new one while waiting for gigabyte to replace my old one and then sold it
and they can showe RTX up their asses... nice piece of tech, but give me a call when someone is actually doing something with it
@twilit pike If you're right up against a wall, or the floor, there's a like a red glow effect
wow ok good to know
are servers back up?
game still down?
still down
Does anyone know what the max group size is?
how stable is tarkov? are this sort of failures common?
i mean, im not complaining at all the game is impressive for a AAA team as it is...
i mean
@valid silo usually not the reason why is the amount of new players that came in the game
it is still in beta
@valid silo For the last 3-4 weeks or so the game has been quite unstable, probably because their player base increased fourfold
Or thereabouts
And them not running out of cash 😄
i've been playing hunt showdown lately but it got old quickly
But yeah, I'd imagine it stabilises sooner or later
Before the Christmas event I can't remember any real issues honestly
great setup and lore, nice mechanics but crytec need to freshen it up soon
how do you use 2 laser sights at the same time, i tried it once it turns off one of the sights when i press t
You can't really
hunt showdown is having an update in feb also still a great game
I came from hunt to tarkov
i love it, but im getting bored after a few rounds
I used to play PUBG a lot, but then bluehole decided to copy fortnight
and fucked up big time
tarkov feels like pubg on hardcore berserk on roids
feels more like dayz
I just broke both of my scav legs, and made that poor sucker drag his sorry ass half across the map to the extraction point
do we have an eta on the server fix?
this is due to the backend server update
Im just watching this tarkov part 3 video to pass the time 😂
they upgraded their infra - seems they have a problem authenticating accounts
I got an auth error, something like wrong account information
Odd, I'm still in the game and was able to join a match with no issues.
does ammo affect helmets ricochet chance
it it more likely to happen with one ammo compared to another?
also why is there slow mode :/
Yes, the higher the pen on the ammo the lower the ricochet chance. Because a few people refused to stop being offtopic and the mods cba to deal with it so they cucked everyone
how do you stop chambering a weapon?
m1, if you mean stop top loading
Left click
watch me forget this on my next fight 🙂
Any tips for making money?
Interchange or cache runs on Shoreline
Lol slow mode in here
thats what im doing until I learn to play, shoreline and staying on the edges of the map
learn to play in offline mod
@karmic meadow i guess that makes sense, but kinda takes the fun out of it. LOL
you're not gonna learn anything hugging walls, you'll die anyway, I think it's better to build confidence
It is recommended because as a new player you will get rekt by scavs and not know where to go.
Then you will lose everything and be mad at the game and quit
At least a lot of new people will
So offline to practice and be able to learn a map and beat scavs.
What about gear fear?
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.
Oh, not me. I like to learn how to swim in deep water
now that's a fast copy pasta, does sherpa have commands?
If you can handle it then it's cool.
Many many new people come in here after trying it that way and have nothing and are ready to quit.
i shouldve applied for green name ✌😔
Ok, don't consider myself a beginning anymore, but I could use some help with Reserve:
Are there any particular areas that I should be focusing on? I know there's a lot of look that's Reserve-only, but the Scav Raiders, Boss, and Players are higher than I typically run into.
It's a google doc that I keep up on a 2nd monitor.
I appreciate your dedication as a sherpa, you're doing a wonderful job 👍
@somber mortar get the marked room keys and stick to buidlings
Snipe from the golf ball.
I don't consider myself a beginner, But I do have one problem. Gear fear, How can I overcome it? I have alot of guns and armor in my inv that's probably never going to get used.
Pack a sandwich
I'm using the scav to learn how to play, don't want to loose all my low level stuff in a few runs
Gear comes and goes. It will all get lost when we wipe anyway. Just run it. If you aren't using it then it's pointless to have.
why do i not have pmc role?

Dont snipe from the dome if you want to actually do something and not instantly die. Why is the server in slow mode ?
People losing their minds over the servers being down.
dang servers down still
@waxen forge I will cry if i dont get my loot i just exfiled before this..

So, I don't know how to get started with the game really, whenever I want to play the game, I'm really scared of playing it, it's either I'm not confident in playing, I'm scared of engaging a gunfight, or I'm worried about losing my gear, what's the best way to try to get into the game, and not be scared?
k people, im getting some fresh air and some lunch
when i upgrade my game edition does it wipe my character and which one do i have to buy to get gamma case
@lone hull dude, its just a game... no point in not playing it. Get out and have fun, lose some stuff, gain some stuff... if you dont engage in combat youll never learn how to keep your chills when it comes to it
The best way to get used to the game is no different than getting used to anything - just try. Scav runs are great for new players to get used to maps and stop being gun/fight shy
@waxen forge While we're still in slow mode, would it be ok to hear about you? Like how long you've been playing, why you decided to be a sherpa, your favorite gun/map
I tell every new person the same thing: Nothing in Tarkov belongs to you. You kill a man and take his gear, melt it down, buy new gear. Eventually, you too wil be killed and someone will melt your gear down and thus the cycle continues
if i claim it it's rightly mine
what's the best way to try to get into the game, and not be scared?
@lone hull
It's pixels dude, just play it.
Let's say you lose everything, you can still reset your account and start fresh, or run scavs and extract their sets directly
@lilac belfry its the circle of life!
horror games are just pixels and i still get scared
if you're playing with a group just point and shout claimed and they can't do nothing 😎
Been playing 2 years. The community helped me when I started so I've always tried to help new people. Popping into random streams and stuff. EASILY my favorite map is Interchange. Favorite weapon...I run a lot of stuff but like the 74M, M4, and the APB.
You can make 20k in a scav run or make it out with 300k free roubles. Just depends on luck, playstyle, and the fun you want to have.
@spare cairn you upgrade on the profiles page. You pay the difference from the package you currently have. Eod has gamma.
@waxen forge Awesome, thanks a lot and keep up the good work ❤️
@steady pilot thanks but does it reset my account?
wait this game has been out for 2 years?
Also like pecan pie and lasagna
servers still down or nah?
@spare cairn no
This game has been out since 2016
I've never tried Pecan pie, I'm more of a chocolate guy
@steady pilot thanks but how do i get the stuff after i bought it. are u sure i dont need to reset my acount?
Comes in messenger
@spare cairn you get the upgrae stuff in the mail
Haven't had to reset account for a long time now.
so if you do an offline mode, you keep the loot from that run or no? im assuming no just because
NO
are IR scopes worth using
Offline is nothing lost/nothing gained.
Ha, you USED to be able to keep the loot from offline raids. IR scopes are great in the right situation but if you are using one odds are others are using them too so be careful.
@steady pilot thanks:) appreciated
@grave lagoon yes.
How often does the game go on sale?
Almost every holiday has a sale.
Couple times a year. Usually around New Years and then another time or two.
74M is awesome and yeah i can definitely agree on the map
Before wipes/holidays so every few months
@wary tinsel major holidays
Thanks, so a sale wont be happening for a couple of months? or am i missing a holiday, thinking about upgrading for that sweet gamma
you can work for the kappa case
Nope. Upgrade is worth every penny regardless of sale. You just missed the last one. 🤷
I bought tarkov during the last sale but had too many stability issues with the game to do a upgrade back then
Lol. I enjoy the game and see my self playing in the future. Zero regrets since .8
Yea I played 6 months on standard before upgrading. For the hours I have played vs. the $ spent it was totally worth it. Not many things in the entertainment world can give so many hours per dollar.
So how am I supposed to get access to this
Yeah im enjoying it a lot as well but i didnt wanna upgrade now just for it to go on sale in a month or something
@wind shoreGo to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to unlock discord and be able to use #pvp-lfg. If you get a blue name you did it right. If for some reason it doesnt work, message the Contact Moderators bot for acess.
If you mean the game then it is currently down with some server issues. #eft-announcements
There, I had to un-react to everything and do it again.
Yea the bot gets confused
But we don't talk about the bot....because SkyNet and all.
when do you think the servers will be up
Whenever they post on twitter
@lone hull to give you advice that worked for me instead of "get over it pussy" - figure out if your fear comes from a fear of poverty or fear of combat, for fear of poverty I always put away a little bit of profit (like a good gun) away for safekeeping or my 'safety net' if i get a bad day.
for fear of combat, start playing in squads, when you get more confident drop to trios, duos, then try some solos
i just got into the game, atleast into my inventory dont know if i can get into a raid
does anyone have the ammo chart link ? i closed it out on accident
go to the escape from tarkov wiki ballistics
Its up now
Cant believe i bought this game 20 minutes before servers went down been waiting forever to actually play
@lusty light It's moreso with fear of combat, I'm fine enough to get something new, but I'm just scared of engaging, because I don't know when it's best or even because I'm bad at the shooting part of the game
squads is what helped me when i was afraid of combat
ahh thank you sir
@lone hull Take into account :
Your position
His
Your surroundings
Where you are on the map
Where you can relocate if you can't kill him in less that 10 bullets
Where you can escape
How many there are
How many can come
Are scavs around
And if you don't have time to think about all these Fucking shoot them
why do I have a timer?
Slow mode is enabled on this server
because people can't stay on topic.
anyways don't freak out about improvement , your checklist should be
- get used to loud firing noises all around you
- get used to getting fired at
- get used to dying
- get used to trying to fire back
then work on improving your gunplay
What scopes are best for the sks? I am brand new to the game and don't understand most just yet. I am a lvl 2 and don't know which scopes are best for my level
I just finished killing 15 scavs in woods, any map I should focus next?
You cannot put an optic on Brown SKS
Need the OP SKS / hunting variant.
Do tasks. Tasks will take you to maps
why cant i join any vc
You can
@waxen forge thank you
Hi guys, so quick question does the Simonov Semi-Automatic Carbine SKS 7.62x39 have a mount and scope for it? The wiki does not have an option for it so i was just curious
oh you just answered that up there my bad lol thanks @waxen forge
@rapid lantern
try restarting
Nope still same

Did they roll back???
i had 13 bullets in the mag before hand with the stock folded but i accidentally unfolded the stock like an idiot after taking all of hte bulelts out
@slim igloo You're good now.
I lost the progress I made with quests in the raid before the error 1000
thank you
Would if I could, but a bit busy right now. Have you tried filing a request on the main website?
You can request them on this page @crude rover https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa
I have not yet, I'll check out the website thanks. Is it cool to periodically ask if people want to play in here or should I be in the looking for group chat?
Both is fine.
Wait do you have to wait 20 minutes to play scav even when you first come online?
.
.
huh. Thats weird. i got on and had a 20 minute timer
i have to wait
mayve because server just restarted
oh ok
My stuff isnt even insured anymore!!
What kind of rollback did they do? This stuff is weird
@hidden meteor alright dope. Never grouped before, what now?
anyone want to play?
DUo Romeo
Hey all - just got the game yesterday. Just had my first successful extract during a scav run - should my focus just be collecting gear via SCAV runs and dont touch PMC yet?
@bold kernel if you reconnect its a visual bug that makes it look not insured but it still is.
can i do trader quests via SCAV runs?
@plain epoch 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 slushous is in there
jump in
can somone help me my game keeps like closing when im joining a game of tarkob
@sonic lake I got kicked by error 1000 while extracting and my loot isn't here, and my quests aren't done(which were), and my stuff isn't insured
I feel like I got kicked in the nuts 😦
i lost a scav that had an ADAR and a helmet
thanks @waxen forge
not really anything to be sad about since it was a scav
You cant just buy stuff in the flea market with Roubles?
Barters on flea are a scam
OHHH thank you
quick question, if I use my guns/meds in offline mode and I die/escape
does it get used up?
No
Nothing is lost or gained
Perfect
What feenk
how long on average did it take you to learn the exits for customs?
im having a tough time finding them
SHOOT ME.
Nah
Ask.
i need help getting geared
Oh.
how do u level up strength?
That means developer, @verbal helm
To level Up different traders. For example Prapor. You need to be lvl 15, do quests to get the little grpah thing to .2 and spend 1M in order to get prapor to lvl 2?
is that correct?
@next vessel throw grenades (not recommended), walk overweight
so you can buy stuff from him then sell back, you lose some money doing this of course but it's a quick way to boost that if you have the other 2 done
oh ok
why's that not recommended?
thanks man
It's expensive and doesn't give you a lot of points, @next vessel
okay
Im also trying to figure out a good low cost setup or figure out whats best for pistol runs
whats the easiest way to become overweight besides fast food and overeating?
carry lots of crap in a backpack
k
🥖
how am i supposed to manage my stash, i have 6 guns in it and some armor and tactical rigs and it's full
wtf
Sell some stuff
Whichever gives you the better rewards for you
@agile raft You can take the pistol grip and mag out of guns for more space
i dont really care about money adn im a perfectionist so i might go for skiere because he gives a unlcokable
the Zsh-1-2M helmet
wut
ok teke pistol grips of
guns
it will make them 1 tall
like always take a mag and psitol grip off a gun
and sell them
you can buy them back when u need them they are only cheap
perfect
and magazines sell all of them
but uload the ammo first
its not neccessary to keep that many pistol mags
you dont need them
i messed it up i think
NEXT step for sure is try and get an item case or ammo box
my AK is red now
why?
i can't fix it
Yeah it will be red if you take the pistol grip off
What would you place instead of the iron sight on an adar?
ok

are u
could any thicc bois duo with me? i ran outta monnie
MK-12
For M4
@lusty light ?
is there a way to make your scav come up faster ???
Upgrade hideout intelligence center
when you go for a PMC run do you just grab your tactical rigs with you every time?
Seems like it would just take space if you dont
intel center level 1 and 3 both reduce scav cooldown
I already linked you the one you want, @karmic meadow
yup thanks guys
how much extra inventory is the other versions? I am on standard currently
so for that chemical pt.4 whoever i pick can i still get everyone max LL
yes
@deft mulch You can see the other editions' stash sizes in the benefits listed on the preorder page.
@deft mulch Lots.
im thinking skier because iof the helmet
nice
!ammo
I'd rather be able to hear
highest pen is M61, but M80 is pretty good
someone expiereced here that wants to do some runs with 2 low levels?
#sherpa-info for sherpas
M80 can one-shot the thorax and does okay against armor
@dusky topaz Probably M62, but M80 is fine for many situations
I wouldn't, as it can't 1shot chest through lvl 3+ without fragment
i typically aim for head
its like 5x as cheap
most bolt actions are pretty cheap so i dont carry m61
If you aim for the head then definitely M62/61, as it'll 1hit any helmet and has a lower ricochet chance than M80
anyone else lagging like mad
Yeah but you don't use a lot of ammo in a bolt action
thats true
Not like you'll burn through 100+ rounds
guess you can bring spare mag + gamma the rest of the ammo
Or just top load
M700 top loads just fine, so just have a few rounds in your pockets
only reason i dont like top loading is because you can get stuck in bad situations
ok
So I have to queue with at least one other person to play?
no
I'm clicking Ready and it won't start
Ok. Dumb question. How to I switch between the 4x and the holo on the leipold mark 4 hamr
Did you install the red dot
Control right click if you did ^
I did not. Which one do I need?
Didnt realize I needed to looked like both were on the sight. Lol
when i double left click it equips the item instead of inspecting it?
What is the preferably the first case to buy?
oh what it just fixed itself
scav junkbox is pretty useful
^
@slender jasper use linked search on things to find what attaches to it. such as barrels, rings, dustcovers, buffer tubes, rails for handguards
