Great. Thank you!

lusty light
#

junkbox, weapons case, items case in order for me personally

#

ammo boxes + magboxes are with the weapons case too

#

the two are cheap but saves a lot of space

wind granite
#

ah nice, almost got enough for a junkbox

trim herald
#

@bold kernel Daniel Defense wave for suppressor

slender jasper
#

Crap. To poor to buy😂 I have had a string of bad luck on evac

lusty light
#

dan defense is -14% right?

#

for like half the cost

steady pilot
#

@slender jasper sell the hamr and buy an elcan

slender jasper
#

Is that the thermal?

steady pilot
#

no.

#

its a 1x and 4x variable with iron sight on top

trim herald
#

I prefer the HAMR over elcan

steady pilot
#

he has money issues.

#

elcan is 29k

slender jasper
#

Oh, nice. I will need to try that out. Almost level 10, but it has been a rough ride going solo the whole time.

Hey all, with the new player influx into Tarkov, I've been getting DM's alot about info on the game itself. Decided to try and see the most common learning curve topics people are struggling with. If you have some free time and feel like clicking some boxes, please check out this Google Form and let me know what would be helpful to have more info/explanation on within EFT: https://forms.gle/zhpuzmoyahHk1AgRA

onyx hollow
#

Guys the old gas station extract is in the basement right?

steady pilot
#

hamr is 43k minus the top red dot

onyx hollow
#

My first good run and it didn't work :<

trim herald
#

That's fair then

#

Elcan is great for a budget 1/4

steady pilot
#

43k+ 11k

#

vs 29k

lusty light
#

i hate the hamr reticule

#

its so fucking thick

steady pilot
#

it's fine, i just prefer other optics

lusty light
#

elcan/valday is my favorite for it

dusty bear
#

I have a few questions to ask, but not sure if i should post them here

lusty light
#

because it is not fine to me

#

post here

dusty bear
#

What is the best beginner helmet/armour to have?

onyx hollow
#

Is it right that some extracts get bugged sometimes or am I stupid?

lusty light
#

ssh/6b3tm or 6b23

#

b23 is lower protection but cheaper

dusty bear
#

I was using the Kiver but got told that it's bad

lusty light
#

kiver is fine but hearing is more important than faceshield

#

at lower level

#

@onyx hollow you are correct

dusty bear
#

Alright, sounds good

steady pilot
#

you lose hearing if you use kiver

#

if you have to use a helmet, use a SSH

slender jasper
#

Sold some shit I'll never use. Lol.

steady pilot
#

helmets are a money sink regardless, it will hardly help you

onyx hollow
#

@lusty light Prevent dying by just going to extracts with some time left I suppose?

hidden meteor
#

Ulach helmet is really good

lusty light
#

yes yellow, i dont let timer go to red

hidden meteor
#

saved me so many times

dusty bear
#

So helmets aren't useful, or should i stop buying them?

lusty light
#

helmets are

#

really good lol

#

wtf

hidden meteor
#

If you have money

steady pilot
#

i use the mich 2001 over ulach because the just having ear protection for 30k is pseudoprotection

onyx hollow
#

Game insulted me when I didn't let the timer go red lmao

steady pilot
#

50k > 80k

hidden meteor
#

invest in ahelmet

lusty light
#

even ssh

hidden meteor
#

can u use comtacs ?

lusty light
#

is really good

#

yeah mich allows comtac

dusty bear
#

I have comtacs, not a fan of the sound

onyx hollow
#

I shot somebody in the back of the head with a sniper but he had a helmet so he turned around and fucked me @dusty bear

steady pilot
#

thats cause

#

you had shitty rounds

brittle hinge
steady pilot
#

lol

lusty light
#

yes monkey

#

you need a mount

#

b-13 rail is popular

dusty bear
#

@onyx hollow I worded my reply wrong. Didn't mean to say should I stop buying, just that i need to stop buying the wrong ones

steady pilot
#

@brittle hinge there are several ways to add a sight

brittle hinge
#

thx

lusty light
#

or you can use bastion dust cover

onyx hollow
#

Ahhh makes sense

lusty light
#

but b-13 is cheaper

#

kiver is not a wrong helmet to use

#

its just not efficient

#

ssh + headset > kiver

steady pilot
dusty bear
#

I only went for it because of the Lvl 3 rating

steady pilot
#

dustcovers. rails. rails for dovetail. dovetailed optics

deft mulch
#

does that menu show every mod available for the gun in that type?

steady pilot
lusty light
#

yes nuro if you select that way

steady pilot
#

this is EDIT PRESET

#

it shows examined stuff

dusty bear
#

Also, what guns and rigs would you guys recommend for newer players. Sorry if I am asking to many questions, just feel as i am making the wrong buying decisions

deft mulch
#

oh wow

lusty light
#

keep asking

#

i run armored rigs

#

i did it first day of wipe i do it now

steady pilot
#

armored rigs are the most cost effective

#

you dont hhave to invest in armor AND a vest

worldly rivet
#

6b3t

near vector
#

can you not use your pouch for quest items?

steady pilot
#

and its looted less

worldly rivet
#

most effective

steady pilot
#

@near vector nope.

#

has a seperate inventory

near vector
#

and presumably, if you dont extract its gone..

deft mulch
#

this game is like pub g's ultimate form

steady pilot
#

if you die with it

#

you lsoe it

devout kindle
#

Yupo

near vector
#

yeah, fml thanks

brazen prawn
#

I love how people say “it’s not the gear it’s your experience” but I put 10 rounds in a dude for 500 damage on the beginners map of customs and I still die. He was literally wearing late game gear

dusty bear
#

And what about guns? I haven't found the right one for me yet

verbal helm
#

whats a good sight for like the AKM

steady pilot
#

@brazen prawn use better rounds

#

everyone has acess to them via the market

#

@verbal helm anything is a good sight its all preference

#

use this link to figure out what you like

deft mulch
#

i killed a guy with level 5 armor who had an ak-74n fully decked out with just a reg ak i looted off a scav and no armor

simple rose
#

what rounds for the sks? im using the ps, made 2 mil this weekend nearly all from scav pmc runs have been hell

fluid path
#

@dusty bear lots of opinions out there. lots of factors.
budget gun or gucci? ok with tapping, or you usually full auto? etc

deft mulch
#

its definitely possible

verbal helm
#

i just cant find anything for the AKM?

steady pilot
#

@verbal helm you need a railed dustcover

nocturne flax
#

Are there people using bots or macros to pick off offers in the flea market?

bold kernel
#

are chances of loot spawn in offline same as online?

nocturne flax
#

It seems whenever I try to get something just as the timer ends, I get the "offer not found" prompt

steady pilot
#

@nocturne flax can be, you are just fighting with thousands of other players

fluid path
#

idk about that, but its a global market, and lots of people go for the same offer @nocturne flax

nocturne flax
#

I just figured I'd be a lot faster lol

fluid path
#

ping times etc can affect whether you buy it first or not

dusty bear
#

@fluid path well, i like full auto and sometimes rifles. I am a new player so can't keep on splashing out on the cash if i die, but i do like to have optics as well as it makes it easier for me

steady pilot
#

why do you figure that?

#

:)

bold kernel
#

?

fluid path
#

@dusty bear The Vepr KM is a great gun to start, very moddable, very affordable. Can't full auto.

steady pilot
#

veprkm is bae

fluid path
#

You can get a low recoil, very deadly, full auto gun like a AK-74N modded well, but its $

simple rose
#

what ammo is best in the vepr?

fluid path
#

762x39 BP

steady pilot
deft mulch
#

yeah but bp will cost you too much as a new player

bold kernel
#

are chances of loot spawn in offline same as online?

celest condor
#

Make sure it is the VEPR VPO-136 in 7,62x39mm The .366 VPO-209 is garbage

steady pilot
#

762 PS rounds are fine for budget, just dnt expect to take down every PMC

#

762 BP is clearly the best

simple rose
#

ok ill have a look

fluid path
#

@dusty bear For full auto, you could buy an MP5 for 30k, and shoot 9MM PST cheap. But it wont threaten armored players.
You can get a VSS with SP-6 ammo, and its full auto, low recoil. but very short range.

verbal helm
#

@nocturne flax i bought your vepr ❤️

fluid path
#

@dusty bear So, lots of compromises to make unless you want to spend money. Which you don't have yet.

dusty bear
#

@fluid path well, i like full auto and sometimes rifles. I am a new player so can't keep on splashing out on the cash if i die, but i do like to have optics as well as it makes it easier for me

nocturne flax
#

I sold a vepr??

open jetty
#

hey is something going with scavs right now? i just logged in for the first time in 36 hours and my scav is on cooldown

simple rose
#

700 for one bullet lol

nocturne flax
#

@verbal helm Must've been someone else

#

@open jetty Same thing is happening to me

fluid path
#

@dusty bear The rifle called "Vepr KM" is the go-to recommendation you're gonna get. You can easily put optics on.

devout kindle
#

@open jetty There was a server reset or whatever

verbal helm
#

Oh i swear the name was the exact same as you lol

devout kindle
#

So all of the scav sets were reset or somethin weird like that

steady pilot
#

budget way to build vepr

celest condor
#

severs took a shit and scavs got reset, it seems. Mine was back at 20 minutes and I have fully upgraded hideout.

open jetty
#

oh did it like just happen?

steady pilot
#

cost around 20k

devout kindle
#

Yeah like half an hour ago

dusty bear
#

Thank you for the replies guys. I have a lot of guns sitting in my invent but i keep dying constantly so can't find a good one for me, but will definitely take up your recommendations

open jetty
#

ah ok

bold kernel
#

can someone reply? xD

nocturne flax
#

I don't see an ammo clip on that VEPR, do you just chuck it at scavs and hope for the best?

fluid path
#

@dusty bear You can practice offline, say Factory PVE mode, high scavs. Kill a lot of scavs with a gun to see how you like it.

nocturne flax
fluid path
#

@dusty bear If youre dying fast online and not really getting to try out a gun

verbal helm
#

figuring out what mags work with which guns is so difficult

nocturne flax
#

@bold kernel They are similar

fluid path
#

Linked search helps to start @verbal helm

celest condor
#

linked search on the gun will show you all compatible magazines

fluid path
#

If you watch the caliber on the gun, mags are marked the same way. Use the flea market search, rather than trader GUI

dusty bear
#

Yeah, it's a major pain when i die stupidly because i have to re-spend around 30-40k everytime for a new loadout

fluid path
#

a gun that's 5.45x39 always takes magazines marked 5.45x39

verbal helm
#

oh jesus thank you LOL

steady pilot
supple knot
#

it sucks that to actually play the game you have to go into ai matches for hours and hours to find the extraction point

deft mulch
#

well you dont have to

fluid path
#

@supple knot The wiki has great maps

celest condor
#

online maps will show you exits

supple knot
#

i spent probably 2 hours yesterday and didnt find a single extraction point

deft mulch
#

ive been learning the hard way in live games using the maps on wiki

fluid path
#

its dumb that in-game maps are sooo bad at guiding you, but it is what it is

fringe vine
#

what's the best thing to do with all these dogtags I've got?

worldly rivet
#

damn it

#

I just tried to loot

#

in rainbow six

supple knot
#

i looked up a map online and went from there but it still takes hours

celest condor
#

I sell dogtags. You can try a "required" search to see trades

alpine edge
#

Srsly i have good gear i do my pmc run and 2 extraction campers... i still love this game so much

#

always the same on my pmc run extraction campers like 8 time in a row

nocturne flax
#

@supple knot I'm freaking retarded when it comes to navigation and directions IRL - I'm always on Google Maps when driving. I was able to figure out the maps relatively quickly on here, using the maps on the Wiki

fluid path
#

@supple knot You'll want to use big landmarks to orient. A river, or a huge building.

celest condor
#

Reading a map is a skill. A skill that is dying with the availablitly of GPS. I am old, took me minutes to orient the map and fins exits.

deft mulch
#

@supple knot double tap o... the extraction points you can use will be listed there at the top right.

supple knot
#

yeah i tried to do that

nocturne flax
#

It's just looking for landmarks and surroundings and comparing it to the Wiki map.

deft mulch
#

that confued me for abit too.

supple knot
#

i saw 2 cylindrical towers close to eachother

fluid path
#

Also, almost all extracts are along walls

#

if you literally hugged walls, youd eventually bump into one

nocturne flax
#

I started out learning Customs @supple knot. It's relatively linear compared to the other maps

supple knot
#

yeah im learning customs now

fluid path
#

PMCs usually have an extract on the opposite side of the map, it wont be right next to you.

tulip ridge
#

anyone wanna run duos?

celest condor
#

most maps are pretty linear, or more rectangular with exits in the corners.

tulip ridge
#

just d/l this game like an hour ago lol

bold kernel
celest condor
#

exits and the maps are eventually pretty easy when they finally click.

dusty bear
#

One last question from me now; amour points. what's the lowest that would be acceptable? I have seen 13.5/13.5, 27/27 etc...

supple knot
#

i only play scav rn because i know even if i get loot i wont find the extraction points

steady pilot
#

@supple knot the wiki map and offline mode (which can have no scavs) takes 10mins to find all extracts. especially when the wiki has pictures of extract locations

supple knot
#

looking up the map is not the issue

nocturne flax
#

yep that's the one I use @bold kernel

celest condor
#

armour is more complicated than that.

inner sentinel
#

guys any guides on traders? I'm absolutely lost on what to sell to who

steady pilot
#

its not hard to read a map and cross reference

celest condor
#

armour effectiveness is dependent on points left compared to maximum new armour points.

supple knot
#

apparently i suck ass at navigating maps

#

especially online

celest condor
#

I typically do not use any armour below 75% of its new max armour points.

fluid path
#

haha

supple knot
#

yeah

#

is the spawnpoint pre determined

steady pilot
#

yes

supple knot
#

is it always there in the bottom left

celest condor
#

But, even considering that I feel that a class 4 at 10% is still better than fresh class 3....

#

Armours are not straight forward.

steady pilot
#

the server picks your spawn

fluid path
#

youll get a random predetermined one i meant

supple knot
#

all maps i look at say start is at the bottom left corner

steady pilot
#

you either spawn near crossroads/trailer park, or near zb11/woods area north

fluid path
#

on the map we linked, its green down arrows indicating spawns

#

you want to look for the green cylinders for extracts

celest condor
#

SW_delta, nto true. Can also spwn behins gas station over the hill and near military checkpoint.

alpine edge
celest condor
#

On the hill betwen train and river is also a spawn point.

steady pilot
#

@celest condor man dont not true me, im talking typically

celest condor
#

customs spawns are all over.

steady pilot
#

and about PMC spawn

winged oar
#

Looking for 1 or 2 new players to run Customs. New player myself, lvl 4. Anyone interested lemme know

fluid path
#

@supple knot you might just be new to maps. Try walking around offline and asking, Where am I? Look for landmarks until you know where you are.

celest condor
#

Well you say something not true... You did not say spawns are TYPICALLY....

steady pilot
#

the RED DOTS on the map DO indiciate where spawns arel, i jsut gave the general area

harsh ibex
#

umm

supple knot
#

@fluid path man i did for probably 2 hours yesterday

#

i used landmarks

harsh ibex
#

i keep getting error messages

nocturne flax
subtle thunder
#

did the server die again??

harsh ibex
#

backend error

supple knot
#

but i walk one direction and itsn ot the right one so i go the other direction

nocturne flax
#

DAMMIT DAYBREAK

celest condor
#

And telling a new person you always spawn in those areas and then they spawn behind gas sstation, they will be more confused than before your help

harsh ibex
#

did the servers go down again? 😮

fluid path
#

@supple knot Well, Pestily on youtube has very detailed guides. Theres a video for every map. Check him out

steady pilot
#

jesus christ

#

maybe videos will explain it better

trim herald
#

Delta, there's no way each grid there is 100m?

haughty jackal
steady pilot
#

@supple knot what you do is grab the map, spawn in, and double tap O. Look at the extracts you have for customs, the permanent extracts are either zb11 or crossroads/trailer park depending on what side you spawn. all other ones are conditional and may or may not be open

bold pecan
#

serever ded?

supple knot
#

grab what map

steady pilot

@trim herald idk what those grids mean, that was on customs wiki

Ysanegaming just posted a nice map of customs

it always says before games that i dopnt have the right map

why are you doing this to me

harsh ibex

XD

supple knot
#

ok

steady pilot
#

it tells you where all extracts

#

are

mighty token
#

servers down?

steady pilot
#

as a PMC all you care about are crosssroads/trailer parker OR zb11

supple knot
#

well

steady pilot
#

cause they are PERMANENT

supple knot
#

i have to locate where i am first

#

and i apparently cant

celest condor
#

I agree with Sw_Delta about the exits.

supple knot
#

like sometimes ill spawn near the gas station

#

and ill use that as a landmark but it actually doesnt match with the map

steady pilot
#

the rest of extracts are conditional and require money or just may not be open

#

yes it does

harsh ibex
#

it does match with the map

celest condor
#

Smugglers boat is a nice exit to be away of, at least I pass that often when heading to exits and lets e out faster

supple knot
#

is there more old gas stations

harsh ibex
#

because the map is a map of the ma[

steady pilot
#

there are 2 gas stations

split vapor
#

New and old

mossy meadow
#

what is the cheapest loadout i can actually start using full auto outside point blank? because google keeps showing me 200k+weps

supple knot

thats why it doesnt match

steady pilot

Hi everyone, beginner here lfg. Am I in the right place?

harsh ibex

it does match

steady pilot
#

old gas is south. new gas is north

on the circles

#

yeah the ecact same thing happend to me

#

epic i know

harsh ibex
#

dont play then

steady pilot
harsh ibex
#

dont like it in beta wait till it gets released

steady pilot
#

it has notthing to do with beginner assitance

supple knot
#

are there wipes

steady pilot
#

yes

supple knot
#

i heard that it wipes?

steady pilot
#

wipes happen during major patches/content releases

supple knot
#

how often

#

oh

steady pilot
#

it happens when it happens.

supple knot
#

so its not a set thing

#

so its random

split vapor
#

2 3 times a year

#

But can be more if needed

supple knot
#

man how many years this game been out

steady pilot
#

2+

supple knot
#

like a month?

next lichen
#

its not released

supple knot
#

pff

split vapor
#

Alpha started somewhere in 2016

steady pilot
#

its been a BETA forever

split vapor
#

Beta started august 2017

deft mulch
#

i feel like the games just now getting recognition.

pliant plank
#

my guess is beta until late 2021

supple knot
#

hmm

deft mulch
#

I had heard of tarkov but didnt know what it was about until the streamers got into it

steady pilot
#

thats cause it is because of twitch

supple knot
#

so when it wipes do you lose progress of your stash?

#

well i guess thats all it is

stable yew
#

actual beginner question: what is best way to get better with aiming. I have the 15 scav kills task for prapor and I've nervous to just go in and die. I feel like I need armor and meds to survive but really just want to get in, kill a few scavs., and get out

supple knot
#

what about your underground bunker thing

steady pilot
#

yes

#

EVERYTHING

#

and in some rare instances, you keep weapon mastery

supple knot
#

so you actually lose everything

#

just like rust

#

lot of similarities

steady pilot
harsh ibex
#

this is nothing like rust

stable nova
#

so mhm backend error 1000 after raid means fucked i guess?

harsh ibex
#

i have 955 hours in rust

bold kernel
#

Is tarkov down at the moment? Stuck on the "profile data loading"

harsh ibex
#

this is nothing like rust

inner sentinel
#

is being stuck on loading profile data normal?

steady pilot
supple knot
#

i mean they kinda similar

steady pilot
#

Tarkov has server issue

lavish lintel
#

servers go down for almost an hour up for 1 and back off again

bold kernel
#

ty

harsh ibex
#

theyre not kinda similiar

supple knot
#

ok cmon chief they really gonna enable slowmode on us like that?

harsh ibex
#

i guess we're just too annoying Xd

royal wind
#

do the mods have different responsibilities? Like, eft-chat is straight garbage and not on slowmode, but they'll turn it on here occasionally.

steady pilot
#

It's on slow mode...? lol

sour plume
#

1 minute slow mode yeah

royal wind
#

But also.... 1 minute fucking slow mode? What the hell is wrong with you?

harsh ibex
#

ouch

timber dock
#

I always wondered.. can you edit your post on slowmode? Yes you can. SLOWMODE DEFEATED. I WIN. Might make conversations a bit disjointed, though. 🙂

haughty jackal
royal wind
#

lol

harsh ibex
#

oh some new players want help? nah fuck em make em wait to get help

haughty jackal
royal wind
#

Looks like they turned it on discord wide. With no servers up, everybody must be spamming the main chat.

@vernal anchor Anyway to remove slow mode here?

is there a set time when the next wipe ill happen ??

haughty jackal

@brittle hinge they are never a set time, rumors are around April.

brittle hinge
#

kk thx

prisma stag
#

hey folks.
just jij scav run, got few kills and juicy loot, exited and got the bug with showing the gear what I had at the moment of run beginning.
okay, transferred all to srash, clicked Next and saw item moving error and nothing happens, just a screen with background. what next? kill process and restart? any chance to get loot or I should forgot it?

steady pilot
#

@prisma stag it's most likely gone, there are server issues currently. That's tarkov, it happens.

royal wind
#

If you error out after a scav, unfortunately it's most likely gone. You had the bad luck of extracting while the servers were down.

naive atlas
#

how about PMCs?

bold kernel
#

So when a wipe happens what does it do? Is it in literally sense a wipe and clears your inventory

haughty jackal
#

wipes data saves

timber dock
#

@brittle hinge If you're trying to decide whether or not it's worth it to start/continue playing now I'd say go for it. The experience and game knowledge you'll gain will serve you post-wipe.

steady pilot
#

it wipes everything and everyone starts fresh. thats it. @bold kernel

prisma stag
#

so, my next step is kill the game process, restart, see no loot and just accept the fate, right?

brittle hinge
#

yeh im still gonna play to get better for start on next wipe but was just wondering @timber dock

harsh ibex
#

yup

timber dock
#

@prisma stag I would throw in some wallowing in that list, too.

bold kernel
#

Does wipe always happen? Like every week ever month

prisma stag
#

okay... thank you all

steady pilot
#

@bold kernel 2-3 times a year when major content is needing to be released. because there are game breaking bugs and they need a fresh slate to patch stuff and test stuff

haughty jackal
#

when was the last wipe?

bold kernel
#

Sucks broooo I just got back in the game and actually got some decent stuff but they didnt say wipe so idk

steady pilot
#

November-ish

timber dock
#

@bold kernel if you just got into the game you'll probably love the wipe since it puts everyone on the same level resource-wise. 🙂

steady pilot
#

^ a fresh wipe is the best 3 weeks of gameplay. I've done 8 wipes so far :)

I travel from EU - > NA often so originally i choose Other NA but now I see I need to have the EU version of game. looking at it...why would anyone not choose it?... it covers the whole world and not just a single area, unless they plan to change that going forward?

Where do I request a sherpa for this steep learning cliff?

sand abyss
#

Oh not that it matters I guess servers are still down x_x

valid silo
#

@long coral I bought the game last night and chose EU as per the devs explain just that. The game wont run in a region other than the one selected on purchase unless you bought EU

long coral
#

Right, so why would anyone not buy EU?

steady pilot
#

because some people live in restrictive countries.

valid silo
#

no clue... damn slowmo

low charm
#

i need help to be able to play alone, am too scared

long coral
#

I don't want to upgrade my game to EU..and then later down the road the lock EU to only EU and I can't play it when I'm in NA. As I said I travel a bit every month.

haughty jackal
#

you can still play on other servers for matchmaking

valid silo
#

devs said this will not happen. Game wont run outside purchase region (except EU) but youll still be able to connect to wherever your heart desires and your soul wishes

long coral
#

Yeah, that's understable. I launch it from both EU/NA every other 2 weeks...so I guess upgrading to EU will be fine.

valid silo
#

should be, devs would be really aholes if they decide to lock down EU down the road. They seem to be all the oposite so far

steady pilot
#

the pso? lol only a 17k optic

split vapor

bold kernel
#

yes. i guess its shit. its bad at some ranges i noticed tho... well im happy with a gun like this from scav tbh.

steady pilot
#

eh you just dont use it past 100m and it performs fine. it has no recoil and pens armor solid as hell

bold kernel

lovin the sound of no recoil, might take it over mosin. just found a hand drill on way out Love

how long does it take for the scav to unlock if you die?

whats better for low risk money interchange or shoreline or somewhere else?

@valid silo 30mins is default

When you spawn in as a scav can you evac the random items you get spawned with or only what you pick up?

can someone help me do a succesful raid?

pseudo python

anyone one help me gear up and get better?

waxen forge
#

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.

So I followed that guy and he extracted and I was like what

bold rover
#

rightclick it, search for the item, sort by price and choose a lower one @fluid cave

foggy zodiac
#

Yeah, always double tap o @willow violet

bold rover
#

also do not forget to disassemble the weapon before you sell it - always sell every part on its own

willow violet
#

He was extremely kind though. He showed me around (I just got the game) and I got some stuff. I did manage to extract.

fluid cave
#

what ?

#

i dont sell it on flea ? market ?

bold rover
#

people usually do not buy complete weapons im my experience @fluid cave

willow violet

What is the difference between an army bandage and an aseptic bandage?

#

for the jaeger quest do i need to stash MRE lunchbox or Iskra Lunchbox?

@willow violet army bandage have 2 uses

dang so i dont think ive got a crazy price for this weapon

@fluid cave Most weapons are only worth the cost of the attachments, with some exceptions

My scav timer did not go down while I was not home, could it be because of me shutting my computer all the way down?

Avi, Im talking about when your receiving ur items back

Mine is filled would I lose items if it's filled and dont take it out right away

steady pilot

@devout fulcrum there is a 48 hour timer on your insurance. if you dont collect within that time frame you lose it

fickle kettle

oh your insure have 3 day

When I click "receive items" her inventory is filled, so I was wondering if there were more stuffed insured that I couldve possibly lossed

steady pilot

no @willow violet

#

Or is it dependant on if you push your scavs on CD at all times?

willow violet
#

Damn, I played with a really nice dude earlier

@devout fulcrum just sell shit you dont use and collect your stuff that you want collected. If you dont collect it you lose it. its very simple

@willow violet you can add people

Lol what's good map to start

Interchange is easy to learn because it just has 3 exits

I'm using it to get accustomed to gunfights in cqc

steady pilot

customs for quests, interchange for money

I heard interchange is hardcore,I tried customs but got tired of getting sniped from some random bush in exfil

clear your sectors.

I have an issue with distinguishing colors on that map for some reason

what's factory good for?

steady pilot

nothing

inner sentinel

cant see people until they move

lilac dawn

Insure everything no matter what right?

vocal bramble
#

this is the way

inner sentinel
#

nope,insured items can still get taken

trim herald
#

Factory is good for quests where you have to kill PMC's

vocal bramble
#

what about labs?

lilac dawn
#

Yes ik yeedler but if u think abt it one thing wont get taken which will cover all insurance costs

inner sentinel
#

I only insure my pistols/backpacks for now

lilac dawn
#

Yh thats what i mean

inner sentinel
#

cheap and likely wont get taken by players

lilac dawn
#

And armour

chrome trench
#

so offline is basically practice mode right?

inner sentinel
#

ar the interchange exfils only the railroad and from behind hamol?

steady pilot

always insure everything, ive played for several wipes. insure everything.

@chrome trench yes its to help you learn the maps and practrice. no gain or loss on loot

so solo scavving interchange a good idea?

woeful rapids
#

is factory key any good?

steady pilot

@trail palm everyone dies and has a rough time when they start. losing kit is apart of the game. the goal is to learn from your mistakes and approach things differently till you stop dying so much

yes fac key very good

@lilac dawn it gets better the more experience you get yes

foggy zodiac

It gets better with more experience

#

But then you look back and realize how bad you were

lilac dawn
#

🤣🤣 can imagine already doing that after 20 hours in 3 days

the best time to play is when wipe happens, you can use all your experience to play better then. best 3 weeks of gameplay

why is it when i go prone to loot it opens up what im looking at then my character will stand up? can anyone help?

hey so question, just bought the game a few days back, only really been playing SCAV because i'm trying to learn the ropes, but I had a question about the pouch slot. The alpha container I have on my PMC, do I lose that if I die?

harsh ibex
#

nope

steady pilot
#

because boxes and stuff have to be looted standing up? not realistic otherwise?

You aren't supposed to be able to loot while prone, instead open while crouched and press prone key while its opening

harsh ibex
#

hazy patio
#

Do quests

lilac dawn
#

Also is 4 million in 3 days good or bad or ok?

sour plume
#

pretty good

foggy zodiac
#

@lilac dawn do prapor questline

lilac dawn
#

Thankyou

foggy zodiac
#

@lilac dawn 4 mil in your first 3 days as a beginner is very good, dont get attached though, try and get rid of gear fear before it really sets in

lilac dawn
#

Wdym?

deft mulch
#

why does it take so long to find a game when ur grouped?

mellow stag
#

Do scav raiders spawn everytime on reserve when you pull the lever?

foggy zodiac
#

If you find yourself focusing on money you might start to get scared to use it

mellow stag
#

@foggy zodiac thats what im currenctly facing

foggy zodiac
#

Most new players get gear fear around the 50 raids mark when they understand the value of items

mellow stag
#

I have 4.6 mill (and bought a scav junk box) and I only really play scav runs or bare minimum gear pmc runs

foggy zodiac
#

Right now full send a full geared run

sonic lake
#

^ take a buddy, it helps with the gear fear

foggy zodiac
#

Dont play like you are super geared play normal

mellow stag
#

I prefer playing solo

foggy zodiac
#

People stop using full gear because they feel that th dont do any better with it but thats usually because they let it determine their confidence and playstyle

mellow stag
#

I went in with a vss on factory once and got rekt by a fully geared chad

foggy zodiac
#

Good, how it should be

sonic lake
#

lmao same, but it really helps out if someone else geared goes with you is what i found. how i got through my gear fear at first, labs over and over again with a couple people. more survivability with a group too.

foggy zodiac
#

Learn from it, do it again

lilac dawn
#

Should i insure like everything when im going in with decent armour and guns and back packs is it just worth it?

sonic lake
#

yes

foggy zodiac
#

Insure everything always no matter what

lone hull
#

It's what I'm currently struggling with, a heavy amount of gear fear

visual dawn
#

I need help

mellow stag
#

But does anyone know how the scav raiders spawns on reserve work?

waxen dagger
#

second question, is it always worth it to throw on a cheap helmet and armor as a PMC if im only going into raids with a pistol?

foggy zodiac
#

Chance to spawn on lever pull and around certain times in raid @mellow stag

inner sentinel
#

boys how can I get over being scared to turn any corners or go out into the open?

foggy zodiac
#

@waxen dagger depends on a lot of things

inner sentinel
#

makes me play like a turtle and get owned by a fully geared chad with a shotgun

cursive yoke
#

@lone hull don't have gear fear unless you're like stacked with kitted m4s/aks and you suck at shooting

foggy zodiac
#

Just watch a quattroace frag movie

sonic lake
#

@waxen dagger usually when i just take a pistol, its better to spend that 17k getting a helmet on a paca

cursive yoke
#

if you just have backpacks, armor, etc, use it and get out there and get more, or sell it and buy cheaper stuff

#

i was hoarding backpacks in backpacks, armor in armor, guns in backpacks etc, but then realized most of the stuff i was hoarding I could buy off the flea market for like 10-20k, so it made really no sense when i could use it and go make 100k+ on a run

waxen dagger
#

@sonic lake ssh helmet and a paca or only a paca?

lone hull
#

@cursive yoke My issue is that I royally suck at shooting in this game,

sonic lake
#

if im going pistol only, paca only

foggy zodiac
#

Hoarding in tarkov is a good thing as long as you use it

lilac dawn
#

I used a csgo to tarkov aim converter it really helped day one my aim was definitly above average

foggy zodiac
#

I have a backpack stack that weighs 90 kilos

cursive yoke
#

@lone hull I've found interchange a great map for that specifically, I usually can run through the big warehouses and grab loose loot, and computer parts, and you can usually pull in 150-200k in a run without getting into any combat, if you know the outskirts of the map well enough

runic imp
#

I have way to much gear

sonic lake
#

this is my pistol run loadout - APB, micro rig, paca or any cheap level 3 i can find, gssh

foggy zodiac
#

Use it then spooky

waxen forge
#

Love the APB

sonic lake
#

id much prefer spend the money on a headset than a helmet

runic imp
#

standard stash is killing

waxen forge
#

^^^^

#

Ears over helmet every day of the week

foggy zodiac
#

Headset>helmet till you hit lvl 4 faceshield

waxen forge
#

Nope

#

Ears still

#

All the way

lone hull
#

So when is it a good time to use helmets then?

foggy zodiac
#

Depends on playstyle

sonic lake
#

yeah lmao ears all the way

foggy zodiac
#

If I'm in a 5 man squad I'd much rather have altyn than headphones

sonic lake
#

when youre solo - hearing is what will save you most of the time

foggy zodiac
#

But yeah solo/duo headphones all the way

lone hull
#

I might tomorrow actually play a Tarkov game, but might go LFG to get some gear

sonic lake
#

i usually dont even bother running a helmet unless i can use ears and a faceshield

verbal helm
#

whats the Analog Thermometer used for? Just found one

sonic lake
#

hideout. issa expensive.

waxen forge
#

!wiki analog thermometer

broken quailBOT
foggy zodiac
#

I run ulach peen helmet and altyn

verbal helm
#

So 2 have to be found?

foggy zodiac
#

No, you can just buy them

waxen forge
#

Read Find as "get" and Find in raid as "find in the map and it spawned there not brought in by a player"

foggy zodiac
#

Or sell to therapist for like 70k

lone hull
#

In terms of LFG, and for interchange, and me being lvl 2, do I go light, or all in?

verbal helm
#

oooo alright thanks @waxen forge

foggy zodiac
#

Light to learn map

#

Going light gear or medium is a good idea when you are broke

sonic lake
#

if anyone's wondering something like this is what i usually take on pistol runs - fill it up with PMM ammo and its basically a glock with ap 6.3

foggy zodiac
#

Why would you want ap with 9x18

runic imp
#

should I buy a icase or wcase?

visual dawn
#

Can someone help me my pmc is half dead I have no more guns I have 3k rubles left send help

foggy zodiac
#

That gun is purely a leg meta gun

#

Asylum do a scav run on interchange

opaque idol
#

Hey

foggy zodiac
#

Hatchet if it comes down to it

Bro its my second day I dont know the map

Anyone want to Sherpa

waxen forge
#

@visual dawn Run scav and Loot. Don't look for a fight. Avoid fights. Take your time. Sneak around the back areas of Interchange. Get out and sell it. Keep the gear. By that time your PMC should be healed up. Then run OFFLINE Mode to practice while scav cools down. Then do the scav thing again.

bold kernel
#

geared players who run factory make it terrible

foggy zodiac
#

Map is there, also watch vids

waxen forge
#

@opaque idol 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. F

To request a sherpa visit #sherpa-info and click the link.

Bit extreme id say

opaque idol

opaque idol

runic imp

limpid pendant

runic imp
#

sonic lake
#

@foggy zodiac it PMM has the same stats as AP 6.3 pretty much, faceshield wrecker

north apex
#

Yeah goren you can buy a beta case

sonic lake
#

trust me dude, APB with PMM is good combo to use on pistol runs

sullen kindle
#

How do you buy it ? @north apex I couldn't find it anywhere

bold kernel
#

looking for someone to show me the roped to EFT. just got the game today, played a raid and died need help

deft mulch
#

does it take a long time to find a game in a group because of a population issue?

sonic lake
#

#JOYCONBOYZ

#

you will die in raids. its normal lmao

real tartan
#

well

#

I dont even know how to farm roubles

lunar silo
#

best to keep or sell disposable syringes?

verbal helm
#

@real tartan play Scav whenever you can. Main goal is to just escape. On PMC just bring a pistol/knife and maybe a small backpack

real tartan
#

I do, and i always get killed by an edge of darkness eidition god with class 4+ armor

inner sentinel
#

same

north apex
#

@sullen kindle Flea market is where I see it but I think you can get one as a quest reward but I would consider buying the beta container because it's like 5 mil

foggy zodiac
#

@real tartan everyone dies, learn from it

verbal helm
#

if you are always dying, you need to play slower/more cautious

lunar silo
#

disposable syringes anyone? keep or sell?

real tartan
#

@foggy zodiac The only thing ive learned is that whenever i peek i die, so now i camp, and still die

inner sentinel
#

my experience in eft summed up

timber dock
#

If you're a Scav do AI Scavs take offense to looting their dead comrades?

real tartan
#

no bc we arent their comrades

lunar silo
#

should i keep or sell disposable syringes<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

#

@real tartan if you camp people will hunt you
