Not anymore Rommel. THey've dropped like a rock.
trying to optimze this bag right now
Water filters are like 40k now for some fucking reason.
Good
I hate it, I can find 2-3 of those badboys in woods bunkers back when they were 75k a piece.
I mean i'm outside flint, shits a mixxed bag
lots of places still having issues because its the plumbing inside the house not the main lines that are the issue
and thus "not the states problem."
I've heard most of the water in flint is fine now, and they're just struggling to replace pipes because they can't get access to the property as the owners aren't responding to communications
anyone in NA able to show me the ropes? been playing for a few weeks and have like a 10% survival rate
When is next patch/wipe
@muted lake months
Guys what case do you use to stash your mods?
the newest news says 5 some months
Wipe, there will be patches
@grave helm I was using a weapons case for the last couple wipes. This wipe though I decided not to store any mods and just buy mods as I used them. Was doing that anyways.
Yeah.. I've got an icase for stashing my tacticool mods.
what's a decent ammo for the AK?
So how do we go about getting into one of these here sherpa vcs?
5.45mm ammo should start with a B. In increasing order BP - BT - BS
by needing one
Thanks !
hey where should i go to find teammates??
#521628660298678283 to unlock #pvp-lfg
@karmic meadow Anything less than BS and you'll die for not using better ammo
ok thanks
Oooookay then ! proceeds to unload my 3 mags filled with BP
Thanks for keeping a watch on me @trim herald
My game has been acting wierd af for the last day. I just finished a raid it says 1 elimination but i literally killed reshala and his body guards plus several other scavs on a solo run
5.45 BP is minimal, you will struggle agaibst class 5. BT is a significant upgrade and will do fine against class 5. BS is the best 5.45
The moment you run into anyone who's got good gear, the type of people you actually REALLY want to kill because they'll be great kills, you're just fucked as they'll sponge for days with BP or BT
Ok. lol. I'll ask in a more direct way. Anyone want to sherpa in b-a2?
BT will NOT do well against lvl 5
How is it possible for me to only get xp for one elim smfh
And also, he said DECENT, he didnt ask for the best.
and after ive extracted it says im still in the raid
do i get exp with pmc even if i die?
Yes
BP will do you fine unless thicc PMC. I have gone toe to toe against Killa plenty of times with BP and won.
If you repair a faceshield does it fix the cracks or is it fucked forever?
it fixes them
Gotta buy a new one to get rid of cracks. Repairs just fixes the durability.
Repairs should fix cracks as well now
it does
I don't trust the visor after it's taken damage though so I always sell mine
I'll just keep a BP mag in case I have some scavs spawns, thanks guys š
Since when?
Its not updating in the hideout but hideout is a little buggy
always
Since a while back?
Not everyone can aford BS all the time. BP is an acceptable round, imo though. It is still good enough to kill anything you see.
Not always, but for a long time
If you can't afford BS you shouldn't be running a 5.45 platform unless you're perfectly ok with being at a massive disadvantage against anyone with good armour
And probably lose a fight you would've won with BS
You need to get past your ammo elitism. Plenty of new players are getting 74s and 74us from scav runs and cant afford to run BS ammo every single time.
And they will die because of not running BS
But if you want people to have a bad time, then that's fine
I just don't think it's fair on the new people
I just had a 3v1 fight customs
That's the same as telling people they should never use a pistol, SMG, or shotgun.
And I guess M995 is the only acceptable M4 round too... You should run the ammo you can afford, but there are reaonable minimum standards. To me BP is minimum for 5.45
all three had AKs using 556 ps
No, 855A1 is fine for 556
PS is fine at the start since new players die left and right
PS 5.56 is garbo
!wiki water filter
BT is NOT over 40 pen and does NOT handle lvl 5 fine
PS is garbage but ok for new player
Also I would definitely tell people not to use pistols, shotguns or any SMG except for the MP7
These new players dont need to be taking down level 5 thicc bois every raid.
Because they're all subpar
Do you think they're happier dying to a lvl 5+ guy with 300 armour damage or killing him and taking his shit?
I'd go with the second
But if you have a fetish for dying, that's cool too
Then why take an AK to raid if you aren't going to kill people?
Calm down Rommel lmao
He's always like this.
Its like taking a lamborgini to go at 20 mph
even with BS/BT ammo the gonna get rekt anyways
"Buy top tier ammo or YOU GONNA DIE and you wont enjoy the game!"
Maybe, but at least they'll have a chance
And you KNOW that no one who's any good at this game will run shitty ammo
need help with raids
But telling new people to do that, so you can persumably farm them I guess, that's fine?
When I teached a new player once, I gave him some ps and run ak with ps ammo aswell and we killed 5ppl and extracted
BP is good enough, Buy BT or BS if you can afford it. That is simple.
can somebody help raid and eberythink?
I dont even buy BS or Igolnik ammo in my runs.
BP at least pens AC3
So there's no hypcrosy here.
Ammo isnt always the important thing, new players doesnt suck with 0 game sens thats the reason they die that often.
Most of my runs have been shotguns and snipers anyways.
Maybe Adams, but even then if they come across a geared dude who's looting or whatever, they can still kill them
I always run BS since I can afford it but before that I run with PS 24/7
They cannot with shitty ammo
And there's nothing more satisfying when you're first starting out than killing some dude with end gear loot
Shotguns with buckshot is just plain fun.
^^
Not all ammo that isnāt the ābestā is āshittyā
People come in here asking for budget loadouts and guns. They cant be running a magazine with ammo that costs more than their gun every raid.
BP is way better than PS
Let them use BP and BT. It's not a crime.
Especially when they ask for a DECENT ammo choice, not the best.
Hey where is the good loot at in interchange? I go around the mall and to the big depo stores and there aint shit
I've always said they can use whatever they want, but it will cost them deaths
I just looted a pilgrim from a scav I shot and was wondering what should I do with it since it takes such a horrendous amount of slots from my stash
All ammo can deal with level 5+. Just some do it easier than others. I have killed plenty, well a few, with buckshot and 9mm ammos.
100% they WILL die from having shitty ammo
Keep in mind Rommel even if they take BS/BT ammo and go for raids, they will most likely die early on because there game knowledge isn't there. So it isn't worth it for them
If they're happy with that, feel free to
again
@cursive birch Ima send u a interchange loot video in a sec
They'll most likely die from poor aim/recoil control before they die because of shitty ammo.
Then why bring in any guns then Adams?
So relax.
Thanks @grave helm
Just bring in a PM
smh
Such a dumb argument
i spent shit ton of money going to labs and i get disconnected everytime i try and join?
Because dumb people want beginners to have a bad time
labs there yer first mistake
Iāve got 44% survival in my first 10 days of play over 26ish raids, and I donāt ever use BiS. I use BP, BT, whatever I find
Maybe some people realize that new players can not always run the best gear at all times. And ammo gets expensive.
Your argument is too rigid for a game with a hell of a lot of variables
And have I ever said they MUST run the best ammo always? No, never.
imagine a new player who barely has any money spend 27k on a full BS ammo which is most likely 30% ish + of his money when he starts
But if they don't, it will cost them deaths
For sure in some raids you will die because your ammo didnt pen lvl 5 armor
Nah you just seem to say anthing other than the best ammo is garbage and will get you killed. That is far from the truth.
If you can't afford BT then you can't afford to be buying AKs and throwing them away
@tender trail And you would've had an even higher survival rating likely had you used better ammo
but in my 100+ hours in raid I found like 20-40 frull geared ppl who actually used high lvl armor
@celest condor It's not though. Have you ever died to someone after doing armour damage with less than BS ammo?
Ive played only a few times so far, dumped a whole mag into a guys chest and he laughed at me
Of fucking course you have
Most of the time when I die its just because I fucking missed. Not because his armor saved him.
Any time you die after doing armour damage and you didn't use the best ammo, you died needlessly very likely
@final nebula laugh back at him and drink some Booze
I have died all sorts of ways in my thousands of hours playing this game. With good ammo, bad ammo, good guns, bad guns. and everything in between.
Could you guys stop arguing, we are here help newbies, not shout at each other about ammo
Iām a newbie plz dont argue dads
Go to your room! The adults are talking.
š¦ okay dad
whats the best vepr akm ammo?
BP
BP
@cursive birch I currently dont find the short video for the mall loot, hang on
I have also killed PMCs with good guns, bad guns, etc... Even have a fair number of buckshot kills against players recently. If you feel you need to use best ammo all the time, fine.
But telling new players they need to use best ammo, or they will not be able to kill and will simply die is simply not true.
Pigeons, as if you can tell me what I can or cannot tell people?
7/62x39mm BP is best.
is it me or do reserve scavs have shit tons of gear
@cursive birch if u want I can do a Interchange run with u on scav and show you the loot spots
Just saying, if somebody asks for Decent ammo, and your goto is always to tell them the best, it's a poor recommendation.
I've never said they cannot kill with worse ammo, only that it'll cost them deaths because they'll struggle to deal with better armour
@hallow thicket might be the bodyguards of the boss
no i don thtink they were
@royal wind Don't think he is worth any more time arguing with. Doubt he will ever understand.
random scavs around the helicopter
Stop strawmanning me dude, if you don't have an argument, other than that you want to farm beginners, then don't even try
they had really nice rigs
It's our thing Stinky. We do it a lot.
how rare are gp coins
Honestly, at this point I'm just assuming that all of these "vets" who are suggesting sticking with garbage ammo are just running customs in lvl5+ to farm the beginners
@hallow thicket Not very, sell to therapist honestly
My quest is to kill scavs, I dont give a shit about farming newbies.
@trim herald by saying that they'll die because of ammo, you are sort threatening them that if you dont use best ammo they die
I'm not threatening anyone
i found a gp coin in a duffle bag lmao
yes you arent
Unless they have magazines full of BS ammo and dont know how to play the game. THEN it may be worth it.
I'm stating a fact, just as if you go in with no armour you WILL die because of it
bro i literally pumped a gear guy with multiple mags from a tx15 and he wouldnt die because i was using random ammo
ammo counts
Exactly
Nobody's arguiing that point iain.
Does insurance sitting in Prapors chat expire?
yeah they are pigeon
Just saying newbies dont need to be running top tier ammo every raid.
And every single fucking day there are beginners who come into chat and are upset because they did 300+ armour damage and didn't kill some guy they got the jump on
Look idk much about this game but i know thereās got to be a load of ways to play, yāall shouldnāt argue just because you play differently and have different suggestions
Sell or keep SV-98?
What's best ammo to use for AK74M
Oh Ammo counts, absolutely. I just dumped about 8 shots of M80 into a scav wearing a ZHUK-6a armour... Ammo seriously counts.
@bold kernel BS
5.45mm BS is best
See if you want to use an AK but don't want to pay for the good ammo then why even use the AK?
Just use a Mosin
Or Hunter
ned help with raiding?
AKs are like 40k
Or a vepr 136, as it's semi and you won't use as much ammo, BP is also cheaper
Youcould even just get an AKM and the PS ammo is still decent
People can make an arhument for the 7n39 "Igolnik" because of the higher penetration. But the reduction in flesh damage is too much. So the only time 7n39 outperfors BS is against class 6 armour
Even then barely
killa face then
how do i levl ragman
For Killa I'd recommend Igolnik only because he uses it so it's a free reload if you farm him
give or buy stuff
Do his quests, spend cash with him @modern steppe
Buy armour from him, sell back to him
i just dont know how to spendda money
Buy shit from him, sell back to him
"spent" just means how much you have bought and how you have sold
is there an official ammo chart that updates itself every patch/update?
!ammo
It's the same as the wiki
Its the same as the wiki one
He also does shots to pen and simulates shots to kill. But those are not always updated
thank you thank you
Had not looked at the ammo on the wiki in awhile.
not seeing shots to pen or shots to kill on the wiki though.
There is a lot more info on the actual spreadsheet made by NOFAM. Good to see the wiki using his info though.
where can i find a keytool?
When can I justify bringing out my M4
if u have a squad and u wanna have fun lmao
It and my modded MPX are my dustiest items lmao
that is not the same. That is a basic rating of how well ammo will penetrate. Go check out his actual spreadsheet and you will see that he has tables showing pen chances after each shot for different armours. Much more detailed than that
i have 2 modded mpxs
MPX gang
my dustiest are my 2 sv98s
M4 is like a sportscar
Looks awesome, feels awesome, costs an arm and a leg to drive
@hallow thicket I have found a couple in the marked room on customs. I assume all marked rooms and maybe the ritual circle on woods
gets blacked out arms and legs
and im really sad
I sold my svd lmao
it was so sexy bro
2 shot kill
with the tx15
and i fucking lost it because i was trying to help my friend who didn't know the status effects
Rat life is the best life
This game making me relive my BF3 quest for the m98b
Sitting in a bush in the next state over and running even further when someone sneezes within a kilometer of me
@celest condor Yes, I've seen them. While they're neat they also don't really give you any more useful information than the little summary that's on the wiki
Its useful in seeing how good armour durability is
@trim herald I find the shots to kill is a useful took to see actual effectiveness of the round. all depends on how much info you want.
@young geyser Get rid of it once it's at 75% of max is a good benchmark to know
Yeah i ended up selling it.
well i joined my first game and about 5 mins later got blunderbussed in the face or at least i thought it was a shotgun lol
gonna have a lot of fun w this i can already tell
scav shotguns are viscous.
@novel harbor anything in particular you are looking for help with?
everything. im a noob
A lot of this game is just tiem in raid. Learning the maps, the sounds, etc..
word ty
To start get a map. just get into raids and try to find the exit and leave. Offline raids and scavs can help you do that without losing your gear.
On Reserve, the Sewer manhole is absolutely no backpack, or can you have a small enough one to use it?
in game maps are useless. So find a map online that shows exits and second monitor or print a hard copy.
okay word
no backpack, far as I know. Have not done much on reserve though.
thanks
@vernal halo Just tried it offline with a sling bag. Said I do not fit. Can't fit with a sling bag, to me it means no bag.
any way to make sprinting hard cancel quiet walking?
Just died because I couldn't tap the caps lock to turn that quiet walk off and my dude just casually hobbled back around the corner
Does upgrading game version wipe all your stuff?
Left shift should overwrite
Odd, it never does for me
Sprinting resets to fast walking. Been like that for almost a year now I think. If you were hobbling likely took leg hits or lost stamina. Taking hits reduces stamina too.
^^
nah, he hit me in the arm but I had full stamina and no leg dmg
I just walked slow as fuck around the corner and I really needed to sprint it lol
lfg lvl 5
Check key binds i guess
someone want to run a costoms raid
Don't think there is a key binf to change that behaviour. I remember that before that change a lot of people wanted it to go back to fast walk after sprinting. After the change a streamer complained a little about it because he would sneak up on people and when they started shooting, sprint, then go back to slow walk.
SO I am sure he would like to modify that behaviour..
Thats true
Yeah I'm kind of sad lol, I had a decent run going. About 1 mil and I should've had that guy
@storm estuary ALT-PRT SCREEN will only take a screenshot of the active monitor....
@celest condor cheers
xd
is it just me or do scavs not get affected by the lack of vision such as trees or bushes?
so i have a few weapons that im not using now, but planning to use later on when i have better armor to run with them, should i keep or sell the weapons
Scav vision is pretty weird. Sometimes they walk right up to you sometimes they spot you from 100m away
Scavs are affected by lack of vision until you shoot at them
If you shoot at them that bush doesn't mean shit anymore lol
@novel harbor First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnāt 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 doesnāt work can PM the @ contact moderator bot for help.

@spice quest It does affect them, but not the same as a person. Can be really frustrating when the scavs see when they shouldn't be able. Other times I have sat in a bush and the scavs walk around like they are blind.
I just had a raid on customs where a scav was shooting me with an SKS from Oli ramp while i was in the bushes by the duffle
That's just really unlucky lol
I thought it was a player but then i found him staring at a wall at the bottom
scavs during the day can be really nasty.

oops
gunsmith part 2 still broken for me
Comtac's,, Tactical or Gssh 's ???
well cant paste it but the gun is a M4A1 and a SV-98 does anyone know how good these weapons are
hmm.. i actually just had a guy camping the road of interchange to emercom.. fuck me i didnt expect him around the corner.
having the correct aks74u works also
because you need to accept the #521628660298678283
he had shit aim thats the sad part.. its just that i was eating lol
if it works....
Its not always camping though. I have run into people exiting. I have been ahead of a person going to exit and just stopped and waited for him for a minute or two.
you can't put any optic on a fal?
imagine game spawning me in bang next to a main when i ran scav.
insta dead
with a shitty shotgun too
oh no... it was far from extraction,, but it was the road that linked to interchange.. i just ran and saw him in my left corner cause there was a hidy spot and he just shoots me ... looks to me as if he was sitting there purposley
@karmic meadow Change dust cover. Use the heavy duty dust cover it has a rail on it. there are also handguards that have rails on it.
Aight !
@karmic meadow Sorry... "extreme duty"
@bold kernel Might be scav hunting. Its pretty dangerous to do it inside the mall
EFT is a horror game man
owh boy... when i meet the boss on customs or killa on interchange im gonna shit my pants 100%
the loud gun and the CYKA BLYAT scream is gonna poke me real hard.
I'm new and looking for some tips and/or someone to play with to help me get started and get some good loot so I won't feel scared to use guns and lose them

from the front of mall which entrance do i take to get to killa fastest?
i wanna go offline and do boss spawn
@bold kernel middle entrance, under the ULTRA sign
straight up and at him. SHould find him near KIBA
he likes to hang in the back of mantis alot
oen set of stairs, not up the escalatory
He's not often in the back of Mantis but he can be
And he drop shots
Watched like 80+ Killa kills when people were farming him
Think he was there twice or something
well i said "for me", he's not supposed to be anywhere specifically, it's RNG
someone could only encounter him in brutal if they were lucky enough
ok here we go.. lets see how this goes first boss with a glock
Go for legs btw
ok.. good to know actually.
I mean yeah, that's what I'm saying
Glock will ping off his head and body
thats harder than it sounds...
He dropshots
The chances of him spawning in Mantis are quite low over a larger sample size
and he has 800 hp
how much exp is required for elite skills?
elite skills?
why am i scared.. š
So i hope you have a 50 round mag xd
yea but does anyone know how much exp it is?
it only takes a 20 round 308 mag
not gonna insure my gun, someone fr will jack this if im dead
uhm two 17 round glocks should do š
Killa with 8mm is not easy, good luck. I once pumped well over a hundred rounds at him through an MP5.
@bold kernel insure it incase you die to a scav or other unfortunate circumstances
From 10-51 it's what? 4100 xp?
@celest condor clearly you werent shooting him in the legs with rip rounds
only takes like 10 bullets to kill him with RIP
General body shots with Luger. Back when Luger was the best ammo š
Luger won't do shit to him any more
Didn't back then either. But shoot enough marshmellows at him and eventually he will choke.
what key to activate flashlight?
With luger you need 12 shots to his leg to kill him
T
thanks
Where the most rich scavs can be found ? or AI in general?
Thanks
Thanks x2
Is it very hard to extract labs?
š
I am saying extract specifically
not Play and stay alive
Labs is full of raiders. If you are asking about rich scavs you are not ready for labs.
?
when should i care about labs or try to learn it or run it
Big statement clichƩ
Raiders are super geared scavs
@bold kernel Never
All scavs are essentially the same with the exception of raiders, bosses and boss guards.
It sucks
Don't bother with labs
Apparently there are about 4 levels of scavs from novice to deadly and they are random. So kill a scav and hope for the best.

They say so because they dnt want more ppl in them ... š
ah ok
I am talking of USEC dudes too I saw they are active in the labs..
I mean AI usec dudes
Can anyone help. I have the items for generator level 2 but it says I don't
I took them out of the case and still
Does anyone heree have a solution for the error that comes with pulling items out of insurance? i pull it, get error, get kicked back to main menu, go to inventory and its gone. then i have to reboot game to see it again, with same problem.
AI usecs are raiders
@potent pawn restart launcher and game
@hardy nymph also had this problem
@bold kernel thanks Ill try it
#RESTART the game
If you are trying to fold stocks that can sometimes mess it up
I have also had the losing items glitch a lot when I finish missions
I never get the loot back lol
it works sorry but it happened to me too .. few errors but restart is what this 10 gb simple software needs
and killa dead... with a vepr its very easy..
what key is rb mp22
i just got it off a scav
Gratz
what is it for
Its a key for the map Reserve
i definitely folded stocks
i dont have flea market how much it
@bold kernel https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/RB-MP22_key
tarkov gamepedia site is a GREAT resource
Thanks !
background of the thumbnail
The background shows the rarity
huh.. there was only 1 scav with killa apparently
Killa has no guards
sso i sholdnt sell it
It's not always relational to the value of the item though
i got it off a scav i pick axed
Some purple background items are garbage, others are worth a lot
Killa may not have guards, but AI scavs are in the area
But sell it on the Flea if you want to sell it
But for keys its always worth taking speculatively
there was only 1 scav
I suggest you conmpare key prices flea market vs therapist
Keys are great value per slot
RB-ORB2 key any good? Newcomer, just got 1-tapped in forest but swiped a key in safe case lul
does anybody know how to find a lfg for Tarkov?
god why cant i run into killa as pmc š
should i buy a lucky junk box
i need a box
@magic knot probably just look up the name on google. It's a reserve key so lemme check
@magic knot That's about 400k, so you did good sir.
I wish the wiki gave you a rough estimate on price
This is why you always keep the purple keys
Getting 1tapped at spawn didn't feel so hot, but I'm new so I wasn't expecting much more
where can i find maps
@magic knot Yeah but you are the winner in that scenario lol. He probably got like a PM pistol lol
Should I wear a helmet on sniper runs?
He got nothing, I took nothing but a Hatchet in because I had no clue offline existed and was fiddling with controls
@potent pawn Would you like to volunteer to update the wiki 3-4 times per day on every item then? š The Flea changes way too much
@exotic nebula couldn't hurt. The SSH helmet from ragman I think is solid and cheap
@exotic nebula I wouldn't unless I have "fuck you" money
@potent pawn Prices are dynamic. Would be hard for wiki to keep up. Seen keys change in price by hundreds of thousands of rubles overnight.
Is 700k fuck you money?
@trim herald Yeah but I mean for a lot of the items you could just do like 150k-200k range style thing
@exotic nebula No š
rip
@exotic nebula its 17k
I can't think of many items that have changed drastically all month. Besides ammo which who cares about the price of that anyways
I mean if you need it I guess?
Keytool is very useful
But you can just buy a new one
Propane have shifted between 80k and 30k in the last few weeks
That's a pretty massive difference
Just for an example
Reserve isn't very newcomer friendly is it? Looks like it's the newest map so everyone and their mother is probably there
hey
@bold kernel Yes it was bad that you sold it š I always carry one i my gamma so I can use my keys. I keep the keytool around half full so I can dump any key I find into the key tool for looting without it taking any space.
True. I mean there is a site that shows you averages but wiki aint like that
i have a queston i can only load into factory not customs or anything
Ah fuck @potent pawn you didn't tell me I'm gonna look like I'm about to storm Normandy
how do i load into shit faster
o k
is there anyone that wants to squad up
Or if on a budget and you play often a Hybrid Drive can work in a pinch if you need capacity
@exotic nebula lmao you are looking fresh af for a ww2 veteran rn
Bruh I look like a time traveler who forgot that they didn't wear ceramic plates in normandy
@cloud shale If you are talking about matching. In the launcher you can select servers. unselect auto and mess around with selecting servers. I typically pick 3-5 servers.
LOL
So basically, I should go to LFG chat and ask for some help?
@cloud shale
If you have the game stored on a HDD and NOT a SDD and are running Windows 8+; You can "optimize and defragment" your hard drive to give it a little touch up.
Additionally, if you're using a Intel / AMD processor that features Hyperthreading / SMT you can go into Tarkov and select "use only physical cores" unity based games don't like those features.
so im trying to make this build https://i.imgur.com/ntz6877.png
but this is what i have
ergonomics are not the same
do sheraps cost $?
I'm new and trying to get started, watched a bunch of streamers before buying but I'm still very very new
Sherpas are free I think.
Is it any worth keeping the hats from scavs?
@heady wigeon Stats may be slightly different due to changes in stats on items since the screenshot was taken
how do I get into more voice channels on this server?
I have a couple of caps, a fleece and some emercoms
Those are for tossing? @heady wigeon
@fair thistle Sherpas are free, just request one #sherpa-info will tell you how. #521628660298678283 To get access to the rest of the server
yo i found a large barrel like thing that was 300/300 and was 3x3 space wtf was that i had to leave it
it had a yellow pisscolor backround
Air filter for the hideout
i was deadass headshotting someone and no fucking hits. the fuck?
I did the #news-setup and #521628660298678283 but got no new rooms
160k or so on Flea atm
@bold kernel Pistol?
ok 2 hits, thats bullshit
Na mosin, there was two laid in grass, I straight up headshotted one 2x
Any way to tell what items are valuable? Or is it a matter of knowing?
@exotic nebula Thank you so much ā¤ļø
You probably hit an arm or something Kyle
@onyx hollow Pretty much all knowledge. It just takes time.
As you'd have killed him if you hit head
If that was a arm shot then fuck me something is wrong.
unless i hit each of them once and they survived with decent gear
Is there a difference between Aramid (3M) and Titan (6B2) lvl 2 armor?
Don't have anything better between them š
but they were in combat prior so i assumed they had damage, It was only scav run for fun but it didnt make sense.
ah well
If you hit armour you'll see armour damage on the end screen
Just buy a Paca if you want level 2 armor. Those are both way more expensive than they're worth Aenr.
Scav mosins tend not to have front sights
yo i found like 240 M61 bullets are those good ? were in a stash
Where does one find a Sherpa?
It's not that I want level 2 armour, It's that I do not have anything better right now š
@humble dagger Those are both low level armours. Differences between armour will be overall durability and repairability. I do not the differences off hand.
Essentially use them if you have nothing better and don't worry about them.
@hybrid cypress Yes they are
Thank you all š
@bold kernel Either @ shootemup899 or #sherpa-info
Should I bring a backpack on sniper runs?
Where are you buying these from? 3m Isnt sold from a trader.
Battery is pretty good right
A scav run, that's where I found one
If you have both, Keep the 3M if you havent done the skier quest. Wear the 6B2.

What maps should I first play
@trim herald he won't mind if I @ him?
Holey Moley, I knew this was a tough curve, but I have yet to extract successfully after 5 PMC runs. I have yet to kill more than one enemy on any successful run. It seems I keep getting shot from some unknown spot.
@trim herald yea thats what i thought too

@open lotus That is a preference thing. I strongly prefer Interchange. I fel interchange has easy to find exits, easy cheap loot runs. Lots of loot without keys and difficulty can go up all the way to Killa hunting.
@split vapor I need a Mad Lad Operator to teach me how to actually play and not die if you're available
@pine nest been playing for like 12 hours and havent extracted once
are magazine cases worth it
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
@pliant plank I like them, but generally you can just buy mags when you need them
@pliant plank Depends on the player. I personally keep way too many magazines in my stash. I store them in two mag cases and various rigs. So to me it is worth having nag cases
anyone got tips for a hatchet only run?
@runic bone my best runs are with SKAV, where I just magically wander through without running into someone. I actually had 5 kills with the MP133 but my wounds prevented me from making it in time.
buy a gun
Yeah, don't. @left knot
do stash runs on interchange@left knot
Okay @left knot if you have some money I'd recommend buying all of the keys to one barracks on reserve so north south or west, or if you're broke to go to interchange and try to speedrun tech stores.
oh ok thank you good sirs
@split vapor I sent a request on EFT site I think for sherpa, idk how this works
"Vitality improves your chances of surviving a wound by decreasing the possibility of bleeding and instant death through critical damage of a body part." Does this mean I can basically die from losing a non-vital limb? I got shot twice in my left arm by two scavs and died. I dont know what kind of weapon can do that much damage. Recap said I died from a shot to left arm. I was wearing class 4 body armor too.
arms aren't saved by body armor unless otherwise specified and even then it's usually only the shoulder
any damage taken by blackened limbs is spread on the whole body at a multiplier depending on which limb
@soft yacht Not anymore, it's an old tooltip
You used to die whenever you took damage to a black limb
you still die to blacked limb dmg rommel
No, you die from your total healthpool going to 0
Nope blacked limb can straight kill
hmm... would 6 million be enough to start a bitcoin farm with 10 gpu's?
I've done a 1v1 with a friend and I shot him in the knee 5 times, his head went to 0 before anything else and he splatted
I've stood in a fire for hours with everything but my stomach blacked
Yeah
RommelToday at 7:06 PM
Or rather, torso/head going to 0
It's not the damage to the limb, it's the head/torso going to 0
anyone have an idea?
It used to be, if you took a single point of damage on a black limb, you died
@bold kernel Just 1 GPU is enough to start a farm bud
But they're what? 280k each? So for 2.8 mil you get your 10 to start
ik, but is 6 mil enough to do everything i need for the farm? (excluding how many gpus i put in)
like the center and everything
Oh, if you've got everything else you need to build it sure
!wiki attention
is there anyone who wants to help me with the first prapor quest
i need to do that as well so duo?
I have the kill the scavs with mosin.. I shoot scavs from distance but ... I do not get them registered .. why?
I also used the short one but also the long one..
@modest obsidian go to rules and then do setup. try finding help in the looking for group chat
@bold kernel on woods right?
ee
Of course I also tried to overlap things to do 2- 3 things in one.. but I was surprised it doesn't get that..
wrong mosin type?
theres the inf short, inf and sniper variant
Bolt action sniper rifle
I also have the inf...

@bold kernel yeah bought an empty blue 1 and learnt my lesson lol
wait how d oi use setup
@sterile sleet Sure, If you want I can help you out for a bit
I'm so confused on how the request a Sherpa works.
thx so much
think you go to bsg website
or get one when they are talking in the beginner chats
@thin sentinel i dmed u
@bold kernel basically you submit a request and the sherpa team has a list of requests. When they're available, they'll reach out and set up a raid/session with you and help you out.

I have no idea why it doesn't advance that jaeger 10 kills quest... some say to do it in factory .. but that's not easy to find 50 meters kills there
@warm terrace Thank you.
What are the Raid days?
Days that you can play on
Can be whenever, just up to when a sherpa and you are on at the same time really
Is there a way I cane change my nickname since it doesn't match my in-game name?
If you'd like I can change it for you. Can you DM me your desired name?
Caches, safes
Sherpa
what does that mean ? š
tf is a sherpa?
ahhh I see, thx
teach you skills, the ropes etc.
so they wont shoot you on spawn if you randomly join them?
._.
anyone wanna join up? I am very new to the game though sadly.
thanks
also @bold kernel you should be good to go now
Thank you very much.
uhh I'm starting to develop a love/hate relationship with this game
im guessing stuff you get in an offline raid you dont keep?
i already hate it
right
just finished my first raid without even trying to lol
i spawn as scav,mosin some EOD chad get his stuff extract
word
yooo
how do i start quests for mechanic?
all you guys new?
then I go in as PMC with a press vest,kolpak wiwth visor and an AKM with 2 mags of PS rounds
oh nvm i have one from him now
yes
owned by a twat with a shotgun camping in a corner
i want to actually kill myself
and then @inner sentinel, I die sometimes within a minute, lose my stuff and need to wait 15 minutes to heal cause I can't afford to heal out of raid with meds
im done dude i get a brand new vss get sniped by some cammper from the other side of customs
@pine nest I really despise the healing mechanic
try to be more sneaky
Anyone fancy teaming up?
crouch on slowest walking speed
nice man
@inner sentinel so now I'm stuck in a cycle. Run a SKAV, get nothing out of it cause I die 2 out of 3 times, then run my PMC, maybe a minute, maybe 25 minutes, but always ending in death. And now either my SKAV is on cooldown or my PMC is on "health cooldown."
me ! i want to team up š
same vonToddenstein
you got a mic
yep
factory is a stinky map @runic bone if you dont have the awareness of a navy seal jacked up on cocaine
seel witch room you in
all the other maps give me a headache
none rn join one
@pine nest same,I also lost my better shit
whats the thing at the front of the gun that wont be in the way of the sight called
what should i do with alyonkas? i have a bunch
what map
20k flea market
i dont have a 2nd screen like every other chad so I can't learn the map
yeah ok !
I have,doesnt help

@brittle hinge
oh yeah @inner sentinel so part of that cycle is losing my stuff slowly over time. So I can't even grind this game slowly.
same
stuck on level 2
I tried going IC solo as a pistolling,nope anytime I go out into the alleys I got dropped by a EOD chad with a supressed m4
@pine nest wanna team up or? so we can feel eachothers pain
can anyone help me i need to do some customs runs for scav kills and shotguns
the only thing that I managed to succesfully do is shotgun a Chad and steal is GPU and stuff it into my alpha
@inner sentinel wanna play together?
Any 'experts' wanna help me run my first PMC raid
I'm taking a couple hour break from tarkov atm,need to go outside and fet some fresh air,my PMC is on 5hp anyways @runic bone
same
game can feel extremely rewarding and incredibly frustrating
@inner sentinel okay, sad
beacuse even if you do everything by the book,be sneaky etc you still get tapped from some dark corner
@mighty oasis that's not good, the best way to learn the game is to get obliterated at the start
Just go in and see what happens
Is Gen 4 the cheapest Class 5 armor? I've been using Class 4 hybrid armor/rig and am thinking that was a mistake as this Class 5 armor is only a few K More.
If you have someone carry you you're never going to learn
why do i bother playing this on my laptop 
@sly warren i think Killa is cheaper, im not a 100% sure tho
@sly warren Tactec probably
or yeah Tac Tec
Ohh nevermind, this isnt 20k. I was looking at damaged ones for 20k
Does anyone know of a good, cheap way to get a 7.62 far more controllable?
although it doesn't protect stomach
That's a good thing
@jovial fractal rubber pad, dong grip
I went to 5.45 for the control but the rounds are failing to kill people in armour
would be cool if Offline mode gave you some reduced experience for us lower levels
or tap fire, kekw
Is getting a but of a pain
x39
@pine nest how is that cool?
And it'll drop anyone
Just learn game
that would be broken
5.45x39 BS is legit
cause it would give some goal
right now there is no reward cause I'm gonna run through my stuff
@pine nest The goal is to learn the game š
no fun in fighting scavs
Maybe ill try it, ive been using BT at the moment for 5.45
Yeah BT is just not good enough
what rommel said
are visors even worth it boys?
its normal to die a lot at the start
yes
@inner sentinel If you have lots of cash, yes, otherwise not really
I have 450k
80k is cheap?
then dont buy any
Bruh
what to do when u are a retard and bring 0ammo
I ran kolpak w visor a couple times but it doesnt seem effective
I did like the AKMSN initially with a cobra sight, but I have the same issue on a 74N that most my rounds weren't on target when shooting at someone, despite only going for centre mass
It's not though, it's not worth unless you're running really expensive loadouts or have "fuck you" money
useless
They'll very rarely save you
If you scav in
No helmet

Helmets are a money pit

SSh-68 at most
it just takes away sound
That's way better than most helmets when you're poor
thanks
@inner sentinel avoid helmets that limit your hearing
but most of the times I die from damage to the face/thorax tho
hearing in this game is huge
so i copied a aks build from wiki to match gunsmith part 2 but i cant turn in still
@bold kernel send pic
Thorax is body armour, 6b3tm is best value body armour at lvl 4
@bold kernel wrong gun
@bold kernel also, fold it
You need an AKS-74U, not UN
Im getting single shot almost every time so hearing is not helping. First shot outta nowhere
i do have a U
fold it
Fold it
i tried that

@inner sentinel this is your first wipe, take your time. You wont be good
Definitely has a muzzle on it
in which case can i store grenades??
ICase
thanks for the kind words
can anyone teach me reserve
or T H I C C
No grenade cases atm
@trim herald , was it you that suggested me to rush Power on Shoreline for the kill scavs quest? It's almost impossible to survive, theres always at least 4 people also converging there
@tall osprey no
ok
@kind night I need to kill with AKM
@bold kernel Then you're being slow, or more people took my advice. I've done it for 30+ raids without seeing anyone until after I was past it, having killed all the scavs already
Oh
how do you choose hipfire vs ads
no no
@trim herald I full sprint all the way thru but sometimes I simply spawn at the edge of swamps for example
what maps would you guys recommend for someone new? I ve had a few hrs on customs and know they layout but i usually die before managing to extract if i even get something worth extracting
situationally
no matter how much I run I get flanked as soon as I kill the 2 scavs
like when would you hipfire over ads
@bold kernel Where do you get flanked from? You on the hill with the power pylon?
@flat kayak factory is good to practice CQC movement and spatial awareness
Ads medium / far / cqb if you have time
Factory is awful
Hip to surprise people, if being rushed
The only thing you learn is how to play Factory
yeah i think ill give interchange a go
^
@trim herald I always go inside power go kill the scav that roams there, I am supposed to not go inside Power and stay outside?
I mean on factory I drop people. When it comes to the larger maps I just flip over dude
would anyone be willing to help me? i need a bit of coaching
Shoot them from outside, then move on
How do I go on the other side then, gas station? North?
@fiery fractal dont play other maps exactly like factory
Factory theres a meta to it
certain angles
Go north and cross just before bus station, then push down and out by tunnel
thats why if you play so much you clap homies all the time
Careful at luxury houses
anyone wanna help me learn interchange if so dm me
Bus station? You mean gas station? But thats south
Wheres the bus station?
You go north from the power plant, cross over
I mean youāre right. I sort of run around on the other maps a lot and try to find people
