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
ah nice, almost got enough for a junkbox
@bold kernel Daniel Defense wave for suppressor
Crap. To poor to buy😂 I have had a string of bad luck on evac
@slender jasper sell the hamr and buy an elcan
Is that the thermal?
I prefer the HAMR over elcan
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
Guys the old gas station extract is in the basement right?
hamr is 43k minus the top red dot
My first good run and it didn't work :<
it's fine, i just prefer other optics
elcan/valday is my favorite for it
I have a few questions to ask, but not sure if i should post them here
What is the best beginner helmet/armour to have?
Is it right that some extracts get bugged sometimes or am I stupid?
I was using the Kiver but got told that it's bad
kiver is fine but hearing is more important than faceshield
at lower level
@onyx hollow you are correct
Alright, sounds good
Sold some shit I'll never use. Lol.
helmets are a money sink regardless, it will hardly help you
@lusty light Prevent dying by just going to extracts with some time left I suppose?
Ulach helmet is really good
yes yellow, i dont let timer go to red
saved me so many times
So helmets aren't useful, or should i stop buying them?
If you have money
i use the mich 2001 over ulach because the just having ear protection for 30k is pseudoprotection
Game insulted me when I didn't let the timer go red lmao
50k > 80k
invest in ahelmet
even ssh
can u use comtacs ?
I have comtacs, not a fan of the sound
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
can i add this sight on to the ak ?
lol
@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
@brittle hinge there are several ways to add a sight
thx
or you can use bastion dust cover
Ahhh makes sense
but b-13 is cheaper
kiver is not a wrong helmet to use
its just not efficient
ssh + headset > kiver
I only went for it because of the Lvl 3 rating
does that menu show every mod available for the gun in that type?
yes nuro if you select that way
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
oh wow
armored rigs are the most cost effective
you dont hhave to invest in armor AND a vest
6b3t
can you not use your pouch for quest items?
and its looted less
most effective
and presumably, if you dont extract its gone..
this game is like pub g's ultimate form
Yupo
yeah, fml thanks
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
And what about guns? I haven't found the right one for me yet
whats a good sight for like the AKM
@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
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
what rounds for the sks? im using the ps, made 2 mil this weekend nearly all from scav pmc runs have been hell
@dusty bear lots of opinions out there. lots of factors.
budget gun or gucci? ok with tapping, or you usually full auto? etc
its definitely possible
i just cant find anything for the AKM?
Are there people using bots or macros to pick off offers in the flea market?
are chances of loot spawn in offline same as online?
It seems whenever I try to get something just as the timer ends, I get the "offer not found" prompt
@nocturne flax can be, you are just fighting with thousands of other players
idk about that, but its a global market, and lots of people go for the same offer @nocturne flax
I just figured I'd be a lot faster lol
ping times etc can affect whether you buy it first or not
@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
?
@dusty bear The Vepr KM is a great gun to start, very moddable, very affordable. Can't full auto.
veprkm is bae
You can get a low recoil, very deadly, full auto gun like a AK-74N modded well, but its $
what ammo is best in the vepr?
762x39 BP
you can get one for 13k and EVEN cheaper sometimes
yeah but bp will cost you too much as a new player
are chances of loot spawn in offline same as online?
Make sure it is the VEPR VPO-136 in 7,62x39mm The .366 VPO-209 is garbage
762 PS rounds are fine for budget, just dnt expect to take down every PMC
762 BP is clearly the best
ok ill have a look
@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.
@nocturne flax i bought your vepr ❤️
@dusty bear So, lots of compromises to make unless you want to spend money. Which you don't have yet.
@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
I sold a vepr??
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
700 for one bullet lol
@dusty bear The rifle called "Vepr KM" is the go-to recommendation you're gonna get. You can easily put optics on.
@open jetty There was a server reset or whatever
Oh i swear the name was the exact same as you lol
So all of the scav sets were reset or somethin weird like that
severs took a shit and scavs got reset, it seems. Mine was back at 20 minutes and I have fully upgraded hideout.
oh did it like just happen?
cost around 20k
Yeah like half an hour ago
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
ah ok
can someone reply? xD
I don't see an ammo clip on that VEPR, do you just chuck it at scavs and hope for the best?
@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.

@dusty bear If youre dying fast online and not really getting to try out a gun
figuring out what mags work with which guns is so difficult
@bold kernel They are similar
Linked search helps to start @verbal helm
linked search on the gun will show you all compatible magazines
If you watch the caliber on the gun, mags are marked the same way. Use the flea market search, rather than trader GUI
Yeah, it's a major pain when i die stupidly because i have to re-spend around 30-40k everytime for a new loadout
a gun that's 5.45x39 always takes magazines marked 5.45x39
oh jesus thank you LOL
it sucks that to actually play the game you have to go into ai matches for hours and hours to find the extraction point
well you dont have to
@supple knot The wiki has great maps
online maps will show you exits
i spent probably 2 hours yesterday and didnt find a single extraction point
ive been learning the hard way in live games using the maps on wiki
its dumb that in-game maps are sooo bad at guiding you, but it is what it is
what's the best thing to do with all these dogtags I've got?
i looked up a map online and went from there but it still takes hours
I sell dogtags. You can try a "required" search to see trades
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
@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
@supple knot You'll want to use big landmarks to orient. A river, or a huge building.
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.
@supple knot double tap o... the extraction points you can use will be listed there at the top right.
yeah i tried to do that
It's just looking for landmarks and surroundings and comparing it to the Wiki map.
that confued me for abit too.
i saw 2 cylindrical towers close to eachother
Also, almost all extracts are along walls
if you literally hugged walls, youd eventually bump into one
I started out learning Customs @supple knot. It's relatively linear compared to the other maps
yeah im learning customs now
PMCs usually have an extract on the opposite side of the map, it wont be right next to you.
anyone wanna run duos?
most maps are pretty linear, or more rectangular with exits in the corners.
just d/l this game like an hour ago lol
here's a good map of customs https://i.redd.it/zmanfyd558841.png
exits and the maps are eventually pretty easy when they finally click.
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...
i only play scav rn because i know even if i get loot i wont find the extraction points
@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
looking up the map is not the issue
yep that's the one I use @bold kernel
armour is more complicated than that.
guys any guides on traders? I'm absolutely lost on what to sell to who
its not hard to read a map and cross reference
armour effectiveness is dependent on points left compared to maximum new armour points.
I typically do not use any armour below 75% of its new max armour points.
yes
is it always there in the bottom left
But, even considering that I feel that a class 4 at 10% is still better than fresh class 3....
Armours are not straight forward.
the server picks your spawn
youll get a random predetermined one i meant
all maps i look at say start is at the bottom left corner
you either spawn near crossroads/trailer park, or near zb11/woods area north
on the map we linked, its green down arrows indicating spawns
you want to look for the green cylinders for extracts
SW_delta, nto true. Can also spwn behins gas station over the hill and near military checkpoint.
A map with al the loots btw
On the hill betwen train and river is also a spawn point.
@celest condor man dont not true me, im talking typically
customs spawns are all over.
and about PMC spawn
Looking for 1 or 2 new players to run Customs. New player myself, lvl 4. Anyone interested lemme know
@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.
Well you say something not true... You did not say spawns are TYPICALLY....
the RED DOTS on the map DO indiciate where spawns arel, i jsut gave the general area
umm
i keep getting error messages
wtf is going on with flea market
did the server die again??
backend error
but i walk one direction and itsn ot the right one so i go the other direction
DAMMIT DAYBREAK
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
did the servers go down again? 😮
@supple knot Well, Pestily on youtube has very detailed guides. Theres a video for every map. Check him out
jesus christ
maybe videos will explain it better

Servers 🥴
oh just shove a red ice pick up my anus and call me Susan
this is bull
😡
damnit i had a really nice scav load out \
Delta, there's no way each grid there is 100m?

@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
serever ded?
grab what map
@trim herald idk what those grids mean, that was on customs wiki
Grab where map
!wiki customs
Fair 😄
oh god, i killed everyone, was approaching final oil tank, and game died.
MAP HERE ^
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
is that
no
servers down
HERE ^
XD
ok
servers down?
as a PMC all you care about are crosssroads/trailer parker OR zb11
well
cause they are PERMANENT
I agree with Sw_Delta about the exits.
like sometimes ill spawn near the gas station
and ill use that as a landmark but it actually doesnt match with the map
the rest of extracts are conditional and require money or just may not be open
yes it does
it does match with the map
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
is there more old gas stations
because the map is a map of the ma[
there are 2 gas stations
New and old
what is the cheapest loadout i can actually start using full auto outside point blank? because google keeps showing me 200k+weps
thats why it doesnt match
Hi everyone, beginner here lfg. Am I in the right place?
it does match
dont play then
please keep complaints and stuff to #eft-chat or #general-chat
dont like it in beta wait till it gets released
it has notthing to do with beginner assitance
are there wipes
yes
i heard that it wipes?
wipes happen during major patches/content releases
it happens when it happens.
man how many years this game been out
2+
like a month?
its not released
pff
Alpha started somewhere in 2016
its been a BETA forever
Beta started august 2017
i feel like the games just now getting recognition.
my guess is beta until late 2021
hmm
I had heard of tarkov but didnt know what it was about until the streamers got into it
thats cause it is because of twitch
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
what about your underground bunker thing

this is nothing like rust
so mhm backend error 1000 after raid means fucked i guess?
i have 955 hours in rust
Is tarkov down at the moment? Stuck on the "profile data loading"
this is nothing like rust
is being stuck on loading profile data normal?
i mean they kinda similar
Tarkov has server issue
servers go down for almost an hour up for 1 and back off again
ty
theyre not kinda similiar
ok cmon chief they really gonna enable slowmode on us like that?
i guess we're just too annoying Xd
do the mods have different responsibilities? Like, eft-chat is straight garbage and not on slowmode, but they'll turn it on here occasionally.
It's on slow mode...? lol
1 minute slow mode yeah
But also.... 1 minute fucking slow mode? What the hell is wrong with you?
ouch
I always wondered.. can you edit your post on slowmode? Yes you can. SLOWMODE DEFEATED. I WIN. Might make conversations a bit disjointed, though. 🙂

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

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?
The greater good
is there a set time when the next wipe ill happen ??
but we are the lesser evil

The light in the dark.
@brittle hinge they are never a set time, rumors are around April.
kk thx
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?
@prisma stag it's most likely gone, there are server issues currently. That's tarkov, it happens.
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.
how about PMCs?
So when a wipe happens what does it do? Is it in literally sense a wipe and clears your inventory
wipes data saves
@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.
it wipes everything and everyone starts fresh. thats it. @bold kernel
so, my next step is kill the game process, restart, see no loot and just accept the fate, right?
yeh im still gonna play to get better for start on next wipe but was just wondering @timber dock
yup
@prisma stag I would throw in some wallowing in that list, too.
Does wipe always happen? Like every week ever month
okay... thank you all
@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
when was the last wipe?
Sucks broooo I just got back in the game and actually got some decent stuff but they didnt say wipe so idk
November-ish
@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. 🙂
^ a fresh wipe is the best 3 weeks of gameplay. I've done 8 wipes so far :)
@steady pilot daddy, how to learn sniping?
that's a loaded question
@steady pilot whats your go to sniper
Idk i use a lot of stuff. don't really have a favorite
@steady pilot were you or are you a sherpa?
pepehands
are we back online?
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?
#sherpa-info @sand abyss
Or just @ one 😄
Oh not that it matters I guess servers are still down x_x
@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
Right, so why would anyone not buy EU?
because some people live in restrictive countries.
no clue... damn slowmo
i need help to be able to play alone, am too scared
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.
you can still play on other servers for matchmaking
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
Yeah, that's understable. I launch it from both EU/NA every other 2 weeks...so I guess upgrading to EU will be fine.
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
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_l-gYeSt2MqIw62EdMZt_wefG0yO9L7dTaRM74c2J1w/edit?usp=sharing
stop using that. Use the Wiki ballistics page by typing !ammo. It's 100% more accurate than player made shit
are the servers up atm?
no idea
anyone knows how many people work on EFT?
100
!ammo
@steady pilot thats cool, thx! @split vapor 100 devs?
100 people
yay no slowmo

@split vapor quite a decent team
ryan shouldnt you be at work still
that moment when u do 5 interchange offline runs and not once find a graphics card 
nvm there is still 
@split vapor i have a real job that doesn't work weekends, unlike you who work as fast food restraunt chikfila to get your chickie nuggies
@bold kernel are GPUs hard to find? I got two on my first run
is a VSS worth extracting with and not looting? got on a scav, yeah couldnt find 1 @valid silo
go murder someone with vss
VSS is 40k. its a great rifle with sp6/spp rounds. drop geared boys rather easily for no recoil\
and steal their shit
got it with a fucking sexy scope.. ima extract.
the pso? lol only a 17k optic
like me guess its that shit scope with the green arrow pointing down
yes. i guess its shit. its bad at some ranges i noticed tho... well im happy with a gun like this from scav tbh.
eh you just dont use it past 100m and it performs fine. it has no recoil and pens armor solid as hell
lovin the sound of no recoil, might take it over mosin. just found a hand drill on way out 
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
counting from game start of after extraction/death?
When you spawn in as a scav can you evac the random items you get spawned with or only what you pick up?
Am i still gonna get my insuranced stuff from raid if servers broke
are the servers good now?
@valid silo timer starts after you leave a raid
thx!
server crash must have affected respawn times cause my counter is still on 18 mins and I got disconnected two hours ago
more like three hours
just used this vss to kill a scav with a modded AK an holy shit the vss is so stable and sexy...
ye my scav timer got reset too
i feel like shoreline sucks for money if i dont go to the main resort?
kinda
Yoho is 55FMJ a good ammo for my m4?
i'm back in game
Is it back online?
i thought scav island only has key not keycard
@deep zenith You can extract with what you spawn in with. You can literally spawn, run to an exfil, and just end the raid
@raven grove thanks
@queen wing take a look at #news-setup and #521628660298678283 to get your PMC role and unlock the rest of the Discord server.
how do i get my insured items when it just keeps saying error every time i redeem them
how much is aesa worth?
200k roughly
249k to ther
gotta love checking the serverstatus by checking if the discord is on slowmode 😄
rip i have no space for it lol
is tarkov back up yet
are there any specific locations for the antique axe?
on ai
???
On scavs
he sells in dolalrs, nvm you should have enough,
He only sells a limited amout
can we turn slow mode to 5 seconds please
hard to have a convo if i have to space out my sentences, so ill just edit my messages to actually respond
just edit
One of the issues with the Flea is that bots will scalp a lot of things
thats dumb and defeats the purpose doesnt it
i dont want to pay 50 fuckin grand for gunsmithing part 3 attachment
If you wait a while it might calm down a little
servers still down or nah
no they're up
ty
When it restocks the price will drop to increased supply
Yeah I hope it’s something they address though, especially if they’re bots doing it. It sucks that people are just buying everything off the restock and price gouging
It would be nice if a trader always reserved one item per player or something.
severs back up ??
Yes
thx kk
can someone help me do a succesful raid?
anyone one help me gear up and get better?
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.
do u have that copy and pasted
Yes

Thank you, I didnt see the section
I did the rules and setup. Clicked the check on rules, and then did the setup thing. I dont see the channels
Im looking for a scope like a red dot or something similar. Really something basic for an AKM/VPO. I dont even know what to search
pk-06
so i can just plop that on an AK?
no
can someone help me with gunsmith part 14. i cant get it to required level ?
!wiki gunsmith part 14
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_14
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page gunsmith part 14 for a direct link or !wiki search gunsmith part 14 for a list of all hits.
have done that
What part isn't up to level?"
is there an armored rig with space for 3-slot mags?
what am i missing
ak's usually require a dustcover
ergo is slightly off, but i need sighting range 😦
I did the rules and setup. Clicked the check on rules, and then did the setup thing. I dont see the channels
or an item that starts with tt01
So how does one complete dorm quests as a beginner if there is an EoD guy fully geared in dorms every single time?
who can answer my question real quick
Empty mag
Do I just ignore quests for now?
empty mag ?
@faint cradle Totally possible to be done no matter level
Your weight is probably off as the mag is full.
Get to dorms quicker and position yourself better
just did a scav run but inventory is full. what happens to the my stuff if i cant store it?
You can't keep it
fuck
no mate, ergo is below... but how do i bring it up
anyone wanna help me learn the interchange to be able to make money?
You can delete things in stash to make room for it @slow quail
?
Take the optic off
o ok anyone know what i should delete?
im confused, what scav spawned pistol can just breeze right through class 3 armor lol
When transferring loot if theres something less valuable you can delete it to make space for scav loot
Send me a pic I can help
ok
ayo anyone tryna coach me im level 3 and this is about the loot i got https://gyazo.com/1e6ad8b7298ef8bf05a0c40cd6085303 (backpack has guns in it)
Sell toz mags
@waxen forge needs 500 sighting range
Put scav BP inside Big backpack
Should be 500 without optic
The wiki doesn't call for an optic
"level 3"
i am tho and the backpack has loot in it i cant fill it https://gyazo.com/c91bdbe82b3059253523bab63a26d3fe\
Should never do that
Stack backpacks and never put stuff in them
Sell mosin barrel and the terrible AK custom mags
is there a reason why its taking a long time to get in games
Servers overloaded

Hello!

anyone wanna help me with prapor's pocketwatch quest
sorry my cat
Look up stash organization and item selling guides @ocean swift
ive gotten the watch maybe 5 times but can never extract w/ it. just so over customs atm
Theres some really good ones, would be hard to explain ins and outs through text
I hope it is good loot at least
I've got a some screenshots of what i got if anyone can give advice - https://ibb.co/grRMRVY
https://ibb.co/RjS1xtJ
There are loot charts and stuff on reddit
or you can use the

Any sherpas willing to duo with a noob? I’ve played before but have only played one day worth since last wipe...
what do pouches do?\
Go to eft wiki and look up secure container
!wiki secure container
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Secure_container_Beta
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page secure container for a direct link or !wiki search secure container for a list of all hits.
Bigger containers can be obtained through tasks
so do i keep the container if i die?
in the middle of a raid, tabbed into my inventory screen and now i cant back out
ui tabs are at the top
Bug. If you can get to a safe spot you can task manager close the game. May fix it.
Task manager close it and restart
A scav joined my party before we queued but we still had different extraction points, does this always happen?
if i close game can i get back in?
Yes @willow violet occasionally you will spawn together though
hi can anyone help me whats the price i should sell this for ?
So I followed that guy and he extracted and I was like what
rightclick it, search for the item, sort by price and choose a lower one @fluid cave
Yeah, always double tap o @willow violet
also do not forget to disassemble the weapon before you sell it - always sell every part on its own
He was extremely kind though. He showed me around (I just got the game) and I got some stuff. I did manage to extract.
people usually do not buy complete weapons im my experience @fluid cave
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?
@fluid cave yeah most people build their guns themselves
So talke all the parts off that gun, and sell each part on its own @fluid cave
@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?
I don’t know shit about this game but I think you have to be ingame for the timer to go down @old sinew
When is the next wipe? Is it like rust?
i think its every update
@spare cairn when the next major content drop happens, rummors are around April
It is every update
@old sinew They had server issues, all scav timers were reset, don't need to shut your pc down
Does it happen often?
2-3 times a year
Cool
what does the ergonomic stat mean for guns?
i think it more like 1-2 per year
Do you lose items if your insurance inventory is filled?
Just getting back into the game now that i have a better pc. Thankd for the help.:)
you only insurance your inventory
@deft mulch how fast you ads and how much stamina drains while ads
not the stuff in dere
oh alright thanks delta
and why slow mode is on ?
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
@devout fulcrum there is a 48 hour timer on your insurance. if you dont collect within that time frame you lose it
oh your insure have 3 day
Yeah, but Im saying the inventory is FILLED
Okay, is Intel center 3 worth pushing for over air filter?
that sounds like a silly question
Is there any way to see recent players?
When I click "receive items" her inventory is filled, so I was wondering if there were more stuffed insured that I couldve possibly lossed
no @willow violet
Or is it dependant on if you push your scavs on CD at all times?
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
And you can’t add people ingame as far as I am aware
you can
jesus fucking macros buying items instantly
@willow violet you can add people
You can? Even when playing?
@verbal helm no you're just fighting 1000 other people for the same item
@willow violet you greet them with Y to see their name. But no you add them out of game.'
Ah damnit if I had known that earlier
is there a free trial?
the "cooperate" button makes their name pop up on bottom right
I did now know that
wtf do i do to not die when a streamer is hiding with an svds suppressed
he just dropped me and my friend
@hallow thicket not be obvious, predictable, or in the open
why slowmode dou 
i cant fucking do the mission where you get jagers note
@waxen forge the error that i get is that eftclientdistr.0.12.2.5.5485.distr.tmp is in use by another application and cannot be updated
@jagged flame no free trials.
Had you downloaded the game before? @bold kernel
If not it could be a bad download. Delete the download and any files associated with it.
no this is my first time i have tried multiple times though
i have already deleted everything and tried agian 2 times tho
any sherpas here to help me learn interchange to be able to mae money
its pretty simple. you can loot the stashes as notated on the wiki map.
Budracin why we are on slowmode 
or loot the tech stores such a tech light, texho, rassmusin, idea office
was some 1 spamming ?
They did it when the servers crashed. Above my paygrade
such trash 
could anyone point me to some good guides? I'm trying and trying and getting absolutely smacked
@heady valley take the interchange wiki map and go look at all the stores. offline mode still shows you were loot is.
computers spawn lots of good parts, and they are everyehere, good hardware spawns in Oli, and tech stores
okay. thanks
Ever wanted to see a full playthrough of EFT in your own time? This is the series for you! Each episode discussing each individual detail as I play through the game. From keys to important locations it's all going to be here!
-------------------------------------------------...
Is anyone taking a long time to find games
never start solo factory
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
customs for quests, interchange for money
Ok cool I'll try that
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?
nothing
cant see people until they move
Insure everything no matter what right?
this is the way
nope,insured items can still get taken
Factory is good for quests where you have to kill PMC's
what about labs?
Yes ik yeedler but if u think abt it one thing wont get taken which will cover all insurance costs
I only insure my pistols/backpacks for now
Yh thats what i mean
cheap and likely wont get taken by players
And armour
so offline is basically practice mode right?
ar the interchange exfils only the railroad and from behind hamol?
always insure everything, ive played for several wipes. insure everything.
doesnt lose stuff but cant gain stuff?
yes
@chrome trench yes its to help you learn the maps and practrice. no gain or loss on loot
yo im new and need help, im going broke quick
@trail palm scav more and use budget weapons like veprkm
@inner sentinel you have Emercom at OLI Backside, Railroad at IDEA Front and the Power station with money
gotcha
Watch Pestily on youtube. he has tons of guides and information
my scav stay on timer, i just die over and over, cant seem to catch a break
so solo scavving interchange a good idea?
is factory key any good?
@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
any wanna help me get geared?
@glacial vale what do you mean by that lol
you can get geared by making money on interchange
Does any wanna do runs, im new to the game
I need assistance with how addicted i am to this fucking game ho lee shit
me too
bet
Like i cant help it
Remove a ram stick
lmfao
omegalul
Ngl this game is absolutely class and im guessing it only gets better once you get onto the better maps? Or am i wrong
@lilac dawn it gets better the more experience you get yes
It gets better with more experience
But then you look back and realize how bad you were
🤣🤣 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
I still do that and this is my 4th year playing
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?
nope
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
how does one get fuel for the generator? I got a fuel can but its empty
Yeah you aren't supposed to but its possible
@sly minnow buy from jaegar or on market. the ones that actrually have fuel are around 70k on market. double click to view contents
mmm okay thanks
thanks
@harsh ibex alright cool, ty!
How do i get a better gamma case without upgrading version of game i currently have 4 mil
@waxen dagger aslong as its in ur pouch slot u wont lose it
Do quests
Also is 4 million in 3 days good or bad or ok?
pretty good
@lilac dawn do prapor questline
Thankyou
@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
Wdym?
why does it take so long to find a game when ur grouped?
Do scav raiders spawn everytime on reserve when you pull the lever?
If you find yourself focusing on money you might start to get scared to use it
@foggy zodiac thats what im currenctly facing
Most new players get gear fear around the 50 raids mark when they understand the value of items
I have 4.6 mill (and bought a scav junk box) and I only really play scav runs or bare minimum gear pmc runs
Right now full send a full geared run
^ take a buddy, it helps with the gear fear
Dont play like you are super geared play normal
I prefer playing solo
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
I went in with a vss on factory once and got rekt by a fully geared chad
Good, how it should be
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.
Learn from it, do it again
Should i insure like everything when im going in with decent armour and guns and back packs is it just worth it?
yes
Insure everything always no matter what
It's what I'm currently struggling with, a heavy amount of gear fear
I need help
But does anyone know how the scav raiders spawns on reserve work?
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?
Chance to spawn on lever pull and around certain times in raid @mellow stag
boys how can I get over being scared to turn any corners or go out into the open?
@waxen dagger depends on a lot of things
makes me play like a turtle and get owned by a fully geared chad with a shotgun
@lone hull don't have gear fear unless you're like stacked with kitted m4s/aks and you suck at shooting
Just watch a quattroace frag movie
@waxen dagger usually when i just take a pistol, its better to spend that 17k getting a helmet on a paca
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
@sonic lake ssh helmet and a paca or only a paca?
@cursive yoke My issue is that I royally suck at shooting in this game,
if im going pistol only, paca only
Hoarding in tarkov is a good thing as long as you use it
I used a csgo to tarkov aim converter it really helped day one my aim was definitly above average
I have a backpack stack that weighs 90 kilos
@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
I have way to much gear
this is my pistol run loadout - APB, micro rig, paca or any cheap level 3 i can find, gssh
Use it then spooky
Love the APB
id much prefer spend the money on a headset than a helmet
standard stash is killing
Headset>helmet till you hit lvl 4 faceshield
So when is it a good time to use helmets then?
Depends on playstyle
yeah lmao ears all the way
If I'm in a 5 man squad I'd much rather have altyn than headphones
when youre solo - hearing is what will save you most of the time
But yeah solo/duo headphones all the way
I might tomorrow actually play a Tarkov game, but might go LFG to get some gear
i usually dont even bother running a helmet unless i can use ears and a faceshield
whats the Analog Thermometer used for? Just found one
hideout. issa expensive.
!wiki analog thermometer
I run ulach peen helmet and altyn
So 2 have to be found?
No, you can just buy them
Read Find as "get" and Find in raid as "find in the map and it spawned there not brought in by a player"
Or sell to therapist for like 70k
In terms of LFG, and for interchange, and me being lvl 2, do I go light, or all in?
oooo alright thanks @waxen forge
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
Why would you want ap with 9x18
should I buy a icase or wcase?
Can someone help me my pmc is half dead I have no more guns I have 3k rubles left send help
Hey
Hatchet if it comes down to it
Bro its my second day I dont know the map
!wiki interchange
Anyone want to Sherpa
@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.
geared players who run factory make it terrible
Map is there, also watch vids
@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
I think i did that
Extreme?
i think youre supposed to do an application to get sherpa help or something
ok
and thats probably in beginner info which is in buds copy paste
when do yall reset the matchmnaking im at 10 min lol
depends on how bad you need the map
ill wait on customs forever till i get a match
this time it was only 6 mins though so thats cool
trying to do the office task right now
If you have shitty matching turn on all servers possible, shit ping but atleast you play
is DVD good?
No, it's like 7k
and capacitors
Useful for hideout, still low value
guess ill take the dvd
Eft-loot.com is your friend
is anyone able to help me play? no idea what im doing
Is there a way to get bigger alpha container with the standard edition ?
best shotgun to use on woods for the prapor quest?
@foggy zodiac it PMM has the same stats as AP 6.3 pretty much, faceshield wrecker
Yeah goren you can buy a beta case
trust me dude, APB with PMM is good combo to use on pistol runs
How do you buy it ? @north apex I couldn't find it anywhere
looking for someone to show me the roped to EFT. just got the game today, played a raid and died need help
does it take a long time to find a game in a group because of a population issue?
best to keep or sell disposable syringes?
@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
I do, and i always get killed by an edge of darkness eidition god with class 4+ armor
same
@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
@real tartan everyone dies, learn from it
if you are always dying, you need to play slower/more cautious
disposable syringes anyone? keep or sell?
@foggy zodiac The only thing ive learned is that whenever i peek i die, so now i camp, and still die
my experience in eft summed up
If you're a Scav do AI Scavs take offense to looting their dead comrades?
no bc we arent their comrades
should i keep or sell disposable syringes<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
@real tartan if you camp people will hunt you
kratos. do what you want with em
i-
Never sit near an exit for to long
@north apex thx
just not the answer that i was looking for but okay
@sullen kindle Np
@fresh shadow do scav raids only, when you're waiting for the timer, play offline raids with your pmc till you learn the map you're playing like the back of your hand
Can you get banned for camping gate 3 in factorys its basically free loot?
no you cant
but it does make you a cunt
Facts
dibby dont be a cunt lmao
Lol yh i got a wcase from doing it first day
Noo i dont now i did it first day im sorry guys 😦
good lad
i say do it lol
And now you become a target @lilac dawn
Its boring asf id rather get 0 money
some level 38 was camping a factory key extract. mega cunt lol
people should know by now that people camp gate 3
ill say it once ill say it again the health regen is a bullshit mechanic
if you really dont like gate 3 campers, dont try to exfil at gate 3 lol
is there a way to read all of the notifications in the handbook quickly instead of clicking on each one?
honestly dude, OOR healing is only a minor inconvenince
teddy click on the green number
@runic imp why do you think that
click the green number @paper ruin
ok
it only punishes newer players
How long does it take for insured items to come back guys?
about a day.
depends who insured them
and doesnt stop what it was intended to stop which is hatchet runs
Also middle click to examine items if didn't know @paper ruin
yeah i knew that
two things I wished I had learned earlier haha
yeah i dont get this game
a day is wayyyy off. @lilac dawn prapor can take up to 3 days
15 min matchmaking to die in 45 sec
im sitting here playing as scav and i just die, what a fun time
therapist is slightly faster and the chain continues with faster insurers
fuck tarkov for the night lol im done
@runic imp true but even at a high level money can get tight if you dont play sparingly
money is easier to get now then ever with interchange hidden stash runs
Trying to kill scavs on shoreline for my prapor quest, but damn pmcs keep wanting to fight before scavs even spawn in haha
why are the spawns so close
Force combat
