Hello, I am new here any basic tips?
sand kindle
the small chance at RR baited me lol
junior yacht
how much are machinery keys for prapors 2nd quest? (sorry not at pc atm)
sand kindle
@bold kernel check out pestily or veritas on youtube, they have a ton of beginner videos
bold kernel
Thanks
sonic lake
machinery keys are cheap
bold kernel
And for what is hide out? @sand kindle
sand kindle
@bold kernel my advice is dont spend money on gear, go cheap till you get higher level
bold kernel
Sorry, for ping
junior yacht
ah ok was reading up quest guides on my phone
bold kernel
Ok
sand kindle
hideout gives heaps of bonuses
highly recommend leveling it when you can, but for now focus on basic game skills, when you need money or practice go in as a scav to learn
fierce cosmos
Can someone help me make some money on shoreline or reserve.
fierce cosmos
Oh
sonic lake
go to queen
fierce cosmos
I have keys for shorline
bold kernel
What map would you recommend for absolute beginner?
sand kindle
@fierce cosmos checkout the interchange stash runs outside the shopping centre if you are new and need money
green shuttle
if you have keys for shoreline- thats definitely a money making map
bold kernel
Ok
fierce cosmos
@sand kindle I do that but its not really alot
@sonic lake but arent all the extracts on reserve really hard. like armoured train and the bunker?
sand kindle
@bold kernel customs you will need to learn for tasks, its a bit of trial by fire though
sonic lake
just take a rig, and a paca and a pm
take sewer manhole
its only requirement is no backpack
sand kindle
also make sure you go to each shop and accept every task
tasks will be your bread and butter for progression
sonic lake
if you make a bit of money you can invest in paracord and RR
fierce cosmos
Ok ill see what I can get
sonic lake
watch the pestily video
fierce cosmos
what rig?
balmy beacon
Should i sell the key to theripist for 90k? or wait tell i can use the flea market?
sonic lake
shove shit in ur prison pocket
balmy beacon
*therapist
fierce cosmos
what is the full name of the krig?
balmy beacon
i sell it, quests for non epbic game4s
sonic lake
lol ok
exotic crane
Is pp-19 good budget smg with just a reflex ? Or are there better options to go for ?
sand kindle
@exotic crane i really hate that gun, it shoots plastic pellets unless you invest in good ammo
exotic crane
im running pst gzh and i hate sks ;<
sonic lake
is so much better
sand kindle
are u on drugs XD
sonic lake
cheaper gun too
it depends on how shit servers are
sometimes its fast
sometimes it takes 20mins
bold kernel
Ok
arctic heath
Ok so how can i craft a m700. I have the barrel, stock, rails, mag, and ring mounts.
all for m700
sonic lake
do you have reciever
fierce cosmos
sorry @sonic lake what is the fuoll name of the rig again?
exotic crane
lets get back to pp-19 does it needs some specific mods to make it usable or just a reflex is good enough if u dont want to go all out?
sand kindle
for newbies highly recommend this document under the "budget" tab theres tons of good cheap builds for weapons
arctic heath
No. How do i find that?
sonic lake
look up remington 700
turn off operational weapons only
lmao theyre all built already
fierce cosmos
k
arctic heath
well i got parts though.
I got like half the parts in raid.
so there are no recievers. damn
bold kernel
So, if I am scav, others will not attack me?
sand kindle
other player scavs most likely will so dont trust anyone
sonic lake
or you shot a scav
fierce cosmos
tAnK HeLmEt?
inner sentinel
God helmet
sand kindle
usually if you need better ranged weapon and see a lone scav you can headshot them and take their weapon/gear
fierce cosmos
ok so pm rig and some mags for it?
fierce cosmos
and what if I dont spawn near queen/dome @sonic lake
bold kernel
any of these keys good?
bold kernel
cool
regal plover
The machinery you'll need for one of the first quests
inner sentinel
Is the 105 key useful for anything?
sonic lake
go there anyways
bold kernel
can keys be re-used?
tribal falcon
need help setting up the game
sonic lake
or extract early if you want
fierce cosmos
and should I just run around and grab loot?
inner sentinel
I looted it from some jacket and dont know what purpose it serves
regal plover
@bold kernel They have unlimited uses, unless specified otherwise (Like the RB-VO key)
fierce cosmos
I have never done reserve
regal plover
All keys are listed here: https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Keys_%26_Intel
frail scaffold
Does it matter what AK you use? How do the models compare?
regal plover
Whatever you want. It's an alright room.
bold kernel
@sand kindle https://eft-loot.com/
@regal plover what things are in that room?
usually or rarely
bold kernel
if anyone need help with pmc run, im helping out for a couple of hours, just dm
so random items within those containers and so on?
fierce cosmos
Will manhole always be a extract?
dusky citrus
sonic lake
yes manhole is always open
regal plover
Yup. There are (basically) no containers in the game that have a set item spawn.
bold kernel
okay
fierce cosmos
ok
sonic lake
get comfortable with the map
fierce cosmos
how?
bold kernel
but chances of finding something more/better in that room are better
because good containers and so on
fierce cosmos
ok
unique wolf
If you have EoD there isn't anything you can do with the Epsilon container besides sell it to fence right?
sonic lake
yooooo
wtf lmao
i just realized that
i can fit a tank battery in my asshole
@unique wolf sell it to whoever buys for the most ;)
dont let plebs get an epsi without doing the questline
junior yacht
should i bring gear to do a quest?
sonic lake
depends on the quest
fierce cosmos
ok im in raid and I got a aca
sonic lake
getting bronze watch?
junior yacht
yea
sonic lake
150k?
fierce cosmos
dang
sonic lake
i think it was more expensive but it dropped
could be back up to 300k
shove it in prison pocket just in case
fierce cosmos
k
sonic lake
hmm
junior yacht
i can afford a cheap vepr for doing the quest
junior yacht
ah
sonic lake
but then again its not my first wipe
junior yacht
put watch and key in secure container?
frigid bay
thinking of buying an ammo case for 120k rubles. worth? I'm pretty new. up to 900k now
junior yacht
true theres probably a bunch of thicc bois around factory now
sonic lake
it's in your quest item inventory
loud escarp
u can wear a tactec over some body armors???
junior yacht
hmm maybe i should get a cheap vepr just for this quest
junior yacht
i dont really feel like bringing my modded aks in
sonic lake
@frigid bay no dont do it
loud escarp
oh i was about to say that would be broken af
loud escarp
where can i farm that im tryna stock up on tactecs
junior yacht
btw for armour classes a class 4 one is usually mid tier right?
frigid bay
@sonic lake may I ask why not? it seems like a good chunk of space for a 2x2 object
sonic lake
what ammo do you have
loud escarp
class 4 will save u against scavs and low level players but most ppl be carrying rounds that pierce class 4 now
sonic lake
class 4 does fine
frigid bay
all kinds
agile raft
thought about leaving it
junior yacht
ah okay
agile raft
therapist buys it for 100k
junior yacht
i see they are about 15-20k on flea
frigid bay
most likely spyd
still helpful to store it and try to get some stash space back right?
sonic lake
get a pistol case to keep ammo in. its also 2x2. its cheap. not as big on the inside but its realistic.
sell shit ammo
always sell
magic knot
Djeta helm full condition, sell?
sonic lake
dont waste stash space on shit ammo
junior yacht
weird bsg just made me relogin when i had keep me logged in on when i first logged on

loud escarp

frigid bay

loud escarp
im lvl 27 started playing last week but i need someone to take me to shoreline to do sum quest @bold kernel π
bold kernel
idk if you are trolling, but im down to help @loud escarp
sonic lake
@frigid bay you should really be getting ammo cases only when you get to this level of ammo hoarding.

tranquil mountain

fickle kettle
@sonic lake i dont see m995
steady tusk
would constant crashes on eft and some blue screens on normal use of other games would be caused by my new motherboard?
sonic lake
i dont use 995 lmao
i dont use m4s enough to warrant having 995
SP6 gang
i bought all that 855a1 thinking BSG was gonna raise price on it

Pretty new, looking for someone who's got some time under the belt for some coaching or another nooby to run with π

Here we go 2nd run thru on reserve
junior yacht
damn vepr ak went up in price
green schooner
Im trash yay
sonic lake
nice
verbal badge
i was at extraction i dc'd, then i reconnected and ran back, dc'd again, then i died randomly when i reconnected and was running back can someone help?
i was fucking loaded
fluid path
one time thing? probably a weird server problem
fluid path
all the time? either youre playing on servers across the globe rather than local
verbal badge
i was on shoreline
the other 2 times i was on reserve
im playing on new york servers and thats where i live
fluid path
weird. you could experiment with other launcher servers. if it keeps happening, maybe its your internet.
verbal badge
no
fluid path
i only have weird shit like that when im playing on tokyo or EU servers from NA
magic knot
Walked away with an SA-58, Loaded with M80. Worth keeping or no?
fluid path
is it modded out? could be
verbal badge
sell it
fluid path
just the base gun? sell it probably
verbal badge
its fucking shit unless u fully fucking mod it
magic knot
Yeah, base gun.
fluid path
probably just sell it.
verbal badge
SELL THAT BITCH ON FLEA MARKET
fierce cosmos
And just like that im dead in one shot! this game is so fucking hard when it comes to making money π
fierce cosmos
30 seconds into the raid
balmy beacon
Iβm in woods, and just looted and Icepick off a dead body, is that any good?
fluid path
what happened?
fierce cosmos
im doing a reserve money run.
sonic lake
its quite easy... just sprint straight to the building and shove valuables in your container
fierce cosmos
I forgot where the extract was and kinda lost everythin
fluid path
sounds like you were sniper practice
sonic lake
lmao
balmy beacon
Oh neat
verbal badge
@balmy beacon thats really good
balmy beacon
Okay
sonic lake
if youre pmc
fierce cosmos
shit bro people get lucky asf in this game im just unlucky af
verbal badge
ok
fluid path
sell it to mechanic
proper junco
Question for anyone knowledgeable; I thought I knew how fragmentation works, but I guess not as my mosin with 7N1 somehow did 106 damage in two shots. How is that possible, and is the reason it did so low related to fragmentation?
verbal badge
how much is it for mechanic?
verbal badge
ok
magic knot
Yeah I can get 51k from Mechanic for it
fierce cosmos
what is the pistol called
balmy beacon
Oh lol, I have a key more valuable than that
fluid path
@proper junco they take extra damage if you shoot a blacked out limb
balmy beacon
I got it as a scav
fluid path
a frag should be like...200 dmg or something in a single shot
like if you get a single shotgun slug to your leg
but every limb also lost 5 hp as spillover damage
magic knot
Ammo worth keeping? 7.62 M80
magic knot
Says it's 'military grade' but that doesn't really mean much in this game
fluid path
M80 has a great combo of damage and 41 pen
can 1 tap scavs in the chest
its much better than the SP or FMJ 308 rounds
bullets need to show their damage and pen value
balmy beacon
So I have 216 and an icepick the to found, that got me 140k, nice.
verbal badge
u sold the ice pick???
fierce cosmos
@sonic lake should I head up or no cause ima die in one shot anyways
magic knot
Alright, hanging onto those round then
fierce cosmos
heal*
balmy beacon
Ye I was told to
magic knot
Just gotta find a gun that uses them again
verbal badge
i wouldnt off because once u get the paracord u can use certain extractions that require it
balmy beacon
F
bold kernel
Need some info about buying a wallet and crates for my stash if anyone can point me in the right direction
fierce cosmos
I mean I got one of those psea things and fuking died becuase I dont know where extract is and I only have 20k left in my stash so I guess I am done for this wipe lmao this game fucking hates me
fluid path
@bold kernel youd check the flea market if youre level 5
sonic lake
why didnt you put it in alpha lmao
fierce cosmos
cause I had a key in there and I did not want to loose it
sonic lake
what key?
fierce cosmos
the one that costs 500kish
sonic lake
then sell that?
balmy beacon
BRO BRO HOLY SHIT
fierce cosmos
I sold my m4 for it lmao
fluid path
uncheck any filters you have applied
bold kernel
@fluid path i have man nothing come up, even tried empty wallet etc:
sonic lake
jesus my man is buying keys when he has no money
fierce cosmos
lmao
balmy beacon
I WAS IN A BUSH ON RESERVR, THIS GEARED PLAYER WAKED BY AND I KILLED HIM
fierce cosmos
should I heal up or no. cause the body armour did nothing
balmy beacon
He has an M4
sonic lake
do a scav run
fluid path
@bold kernel make sure filters here are cleared
sometimes a Linked search or Filter by is turned on
which blocks your search results
bold kernel
ohh thank you
fierce cosmos
u were in the same game as me @balmy beacon
bold kernel
how much is a wallet?
balmy beacon
?
fierce cosmos
that dude killed me
bold kernel
ill check quickly and also do you know anything about crates?
fierce cosmos
he has supressed m4?
fluid path
9k @bold kernel
bold kernel
not bad
fierce cosmos
smack his dead body for me
balmy beacon
Fuck one sec I need to extract
fierce cosmos
k
balmy beacon
So I donβt die
fluid path
@bold kernel like what crates? First crate you should get is Lucky scav junk box
fierce cosmos
@sonic lake sorry m8 but should I head my pmc for another one or should I just not heal becuase the armour did nothing
fluid path
Pistol cases MAYBE if you have ammo you need to keep cheaply
bold kernel
@fluid path where from? just looting or a quest?
fluid path
@bold kernel flea again.
sonic lake
do a scav run
bold kernel
awesome thank you
I need help clearing my stash and I don't know what to sell, should I just check the wiki or is there some website that can help determine which items are useful for future quests?
fierce cosmos
on reserve?
sonic lake
on whatever map.
fierce cosmos
k
fluid path
Sell stuff and scav until you can buy a 1.4m junk box. Immense storage for all the misc/junk items
fluid path
lets you keep other valuable stuff like armor, guns, without emergency firesales to save space
@bold kernel
from the wiki
if youre 5 and have flea, you can Right click > Filter by item to see the price.
bold kernel
ah im not 5 yet
fluid path
You probably can vendor most of your stuff.
Occasionally you might get Labs access keycards, or fuel conditioners or something thats particularly valuable, or keys
but most stuff just needs to be turned into rubles.
bold kernel
sounds good
fluid path
if youre really curious and want to look stuff up before 5, https://eft-loot.com/
gets you in the ballpark
proper junco
So fragments only add damage then? If so, how does one do 106 damage with two 86 damage 7n1 bullets?
fluid path
no armor was involved here?
proper junco
Two shots at close range on an unarmored player. Shots were likely arms because if it hit chest they would be dead
fluid path
youve stumped me, sorry Β―_(γ)_/Β―
proper junco
Yea, I'm extremely confused here
Something doesn't add up but that's exactly what happened
fluid path
ok maaaybe, and this is a stretch
you hit 1 arm, and then the same bullet hit his other arm, and that counts as 2
and penetrations do reduce damage
i lined 2 scavs up and sent a rifle bullet through their heads
proper junco
Possible, but I'm almost certain for each shot I hit, I heard the person's character scream
proper junco
He ran infront of me, I shot him, he proned
I shot him again, he turns and kills me instantly
floral wave
do skavs earn player XP?
proper junco
Ney
fluid path
they have their own xp
to what end im not sure
but your pmc doesnt get their xp, if thats what you mean
floral wave
i have been not gaining player level for about 8k exp now is it cause its a skav?
magic knot
'ScusemeWAT
bold kernel
pretty sure scav xp counts toward their stamina and stuff like that
magic knot
My baby (Have that rifle irl)
magic knot
No, that's the exact model down to the muzzle brake
fluid path
sure its like the socom isnt it
magic knot
Yeah, mine's a SOCOM-16 M1A
And you're right, it does KICK
Downward-perforation vent brake helps tho
fluid path
no sir, quest item
magic knot
Tho wait
junior yacht
fuck
magic knot
Mine is chambered in .308 Winchester, slightly higher barrel pressure I think
fluid path
you can try the night customs @junior yacht
it probably has a lot less players and more scavs.
id bring a flashlight just in case if you do
junior yacht
hmm yeah\
faint yacht
Iβm a noob. Playing for a week or two. Looking for ppl to play with. Old man. What do I do to find some ppl
Just trying to get things going.
green shuttle
how old are we talkin?
faint yacht
37 lol
green shuttle
thats not that old dude jesus, you made it sound like you were in your 60's or 70's
magic knot
BACK IN MY DAY
proper junco
I wouldn't be surprised if the player age ratio would be around 30
magic knot
Sorry
timber dock
That'd actually be an interesting statistic to see.
faint yacht
@green shuttle well, i dont come across that many older guys that much.
faint yacht
I just have no clue whats going on. Ive played customs. did one or two tasks. Few sessions and id be good to go.
green shuttle
@faint yacht lol all good, feel free to add me im hopping off for the night but usually on in the evenings if you want to play
faint yacht
will do buddy
fierce cosmos
i did it
finally
a good raid !
no

FUCK
NO PLS IT CRASHED
NO

Tarkov giveth, and Tarkov taketh.
fierce cosmos
Thank god I got my stuff
hasty veldt
quick question. I was in labs and i heard Russian and English taunts a lot. Are raiders mixed or do they kill each other if not in both sides? or do you have been players because they didnt rush us even after flash bang
fierce cosmos
ggez
regal plover
@hasty veldt Raiders are rogue PMC's of both factions.
hasty veldt
Do they always rush you if you kill one with a Grande?
fluid path
no, but they hate closed doors for some reason
regal plover
Not always, but they'll always be coming towards where they last saw/heard you.
magic knot
BT ammo? BP ammo? PRS? I have like 3 different kinds of 5.45 and just noticed

regal plover
@magic knot ^
hasty veldt
because my buddy killed one but there was still taunts in English and Russian. It was a lot of talking. so it of been players or just raiders talking?
regal plover
The raiders talk a lot.
magic knot
Thanks. Looks like BP is a decent round
valid moat
can you not put any foregrips on the AK-74M?
timber dock
This game is a rollercoaster..
https://streamable.com/ecqqw
fluid path
@valid moat you probably need a different handguard
Try upgrading to the AK-100
the handguard, not the rifle
valid moat
idk thats why im asking, im not seeing a slot for a handguard customization, only dust guard
regal plover
Handguards attach to the gas block
fluid path
which goes on the gun
thats a limitation of linked search, and a logical one tbh
it only goes 1 "layer" deep
linked search the gas tube
junior yacht
nope died to someone who killed me in one shot
junior yacht
bet he has thermal scope or some shit
regal plover
When you use linked search it only shows what immediately attaches to that item, and what that item attaches to.
BTW Always bring a weapon if you can. Running weaponless leaves you defenceless and you end up like this guy. https://streamable.com/gxsks
Melee rushing people doesn't work.
thick harness
Fml I finally save up enough to try a geared raid on customs and my game crashes 3x trying to load finally get in and I'm dead
Didnt even get a chance. 300k spent on the loadout
fluid path
thats a chunk
thick harness
Considering I only have 40k left yea...
fluid path
you could stretch it a bit further so each raid isnt like 2/3 your net worth gone
hasty veldt
it was weird because they were talking back and forth a lot
fluid path
say, vepr KM with a few mods, some BP ammo, some meds
could go unarmored or 6b3tm rig (level 4)
3 of those loadouts ready to go
youre gonna take losses
lapis pilot
how are flachette rounds?
bold kernel
what do guys think of this ak I built from scav runs, and how can I improve it
fluid path
@lapis pilot like 100
bold kernel
verbal badge
the scope sucks
fluid path
That sight is really limited
lapis pilot
what does tlike 100 mean?
fluid path
100 rubles/round
verbal badge
everything else is UUUM YUMMY
lapis pilot
i mean like how does it perform
fluid path
inconsistently
lapis pilot
ammo chart says good but its low dmg
fluid path
i mean i think it does armor damage so if you blasted them a lot. maybe.
youd be better off 2 tapping them with a real bullet
players arent going to let you go blasting like a shotgun scav on them lol
regal plover
@lapis pilot Flechette is really good at shredding armor. Not good at range at all though. Use in under 10 meters.
fluid path
dumping a VSS, or tapping them with a Vepr and BP rounds would be a better use of time
but sure, yes, if you are taking a shotgun period
it could work
could also try AP-20 slugs
lapis pilot
p1x42 misalignment fixed?
fluid path
@bold kernel sure good scope.
sly pond
well marked room didnt net me much
fluid path
do you like magnification? a PK-06 on a TT01 adapter is cheap and easy, but no zoom obviously
sly pond
though the document case wasnt bad

hey you didnt get shot trying to go there, so thats a plus

whats a good way to make money

loot runs on pmc

@spiral garnet go on labs

Ok. You're moving too fast and giving yourself away obviously.
verbal badge
its only like 5k
lapis pilot
ohh that meta
fluid path
Have you ever tried offline mode? Can you extract successfully there?
verbal badge
@spiral garnet what we just said with a budget run on labs DO THAT
fluid path
hes trolling you with the labs shit
regal plover
@verbal badge Stop trolling.
verbal badge
look up nick bunyun and watch his budget labs guides
spiral garnet
π¦
verbal badge
@regal plover im not trolling
regal plover
Labs is one of the hardest maps.
verbal badge
thats y u watch nick bunyun
he teaches u the extractions, loot spawns, and stuff like that
he makes at least 1 mil per raid
spiral garnet
ive made it out a couple times, only been playing on woods to try and learn the map
verbal badge
well actually at least 500k
fluid path
@spiral garnet
-Watch a few videos. Try Pestily's guides. He has everything covered.
-Wear electronic hearing. The game is 80% sound. Ragman sells GSSH. Wear every PMC raid.
-Slow down. Don't sprint unless you have to, like in the open. Walk and listen.
verbal badge
ok
regal plover
I mean, I make that on Reserve and I don't even need a keycard to go there π€·
fluid path
Youre gonna have to be more specific if you want more specific advice
And try offline before you go online.
spiral garnet
i have a good headset
fluid path
In game?
lapis pilot
I would recommend gssh for newer players
verbal badge
@spiral garnet a bad mistake ive made is ive never done an offline raid before π¦
verbal badge
or comtacs
spiral garnet
i have sound amp on
verbal badge
always do offline raids when u try out a map for the first time
fluid path
Ok. So what are you dying to?
lapis pilot
@tame sierra uhh what gun
tame sierra
ik tried for over a week. i dont have the time for this, i gave it a chance
spiral garnet
other players
spiral garnet
ive killed some then loot them and when im looting someone rushes me and now im dead
fluid path
@spiral garnet Ok. So enable PVE and try Customs. Try to kill some scavs. Try to extract. If you can do that a few times, go back to online.
tame sierra
i can handl scavs no problem if theyre NOT players
verbal badge
i had 500k worth of items but i kept dc'ing at the extraction on shoreline and then i finally was killed but at least i had 2 graphics cards in my gamma!
regal plover
@tame sierra Do not try to sell or get rid of a game account here.
spiral garnet
havent tried that yet
fluid path
@spiral garnet You can try LFG and advertise you're new. You can go to the EFT site and request a Sherpa. You might learn a lot.
regal plover
@spiral garnet Type "!sherpa"
tame sierra
i tried that as well
spiral garnet
whats a sherpa?

no sucess, frankly im over it

Well, positional play is how tarkov works for most people
lapis pilot
any difficulty
tame sierra
i ONLY have succes if i play as scav and wait untill the last 125 minutes.. then sneak the WHOLE way out
fluid path
not everybody is an fps god or something
tame sierra
i cant loot, i cant engage or i die
lapis pilot
and just practice dropping em
tame sierra
so i just extract
young verge
the thing is only having one map can make tasks harder
nocturne flax
Which dealers should I be focusing on raising rep with?
Is it Therapist, Skier, then Mechanic?
tame sierra
all that would be great advice... if i could actually KILL an actual human player lol
i have to be able to hit them in the head
young verge
@nocturne flax go for parapor and thera
tame sierra
and i cant do that
rugged umbra
Why does it take so long to queue into a match on factory at day time on sydney australia servers? I'm level two, is it like skill based matchmaking or somethnig?
young verge
@tame sierra saying you cant wont let you earn your way to a can
lapis pilot
@tame sierra get a friend to q up with you and 1v1?
tame sierra
i dont CARE about "tasks" i want to be able to hit a target and it is NOT happening
normal cairn
played my first game. spawned in the dark, walked forward across a road and pew pew dead lol. guess i should stay silent and still? hope they think im a tree
nocturne flax
There's no SBMM @rugged umbra
young verge
@rugged umbra all queue times are wack, its not sbmm
lapis pilot
@normal cairn dont do night raids
tame sierra
1v1..... lol didnt know i could host servers
lapis pilot
theres a clock
lapis pilot
you want NVG
tame sierra
ANYTHING other than that i die within 2 minutes NO EXAGERATION lol
rugged umbra
I always die, I haven't killed a single real person yet lol.
lapis pilot
maybe a thermal
rugged umbra
Or an npc ni matches.
lapis pilot
wait thats a thing?
young verge
your limiting yourself and saying you cant do anything, take time to learn, death will happen a lot and often, get used to it, learn from your mistakes, and get back in there
tame sierra
never die... so long as i spawn as a player scav... then sneak to the exit
i cant loot, or i die, i cant engage or i die
young verge
do you loot as soon as you kill them?
fluid path
if you cant aim at things, its gonna be impossible. killing scavs is tarkov's equivalent of dribbling the ball
chrome shoal
i just started the game and im wondering which character i need to choose
lapis pilot
doesnt matter
young verge
usec is english and bear is russian
lapis pilot
but BEAR has a working watch iirc
fluid path
usec has better meme voices tho
young verge
if you want to make callouts and understand yourself, go usec
chrome shoal
was it worth buying the 140$ edition of the game?
silver hornet
if you like the game, it's worth it
chrome shoal
like could i still get the stuff in game
chrome shoal
extra inventory and stuff?
fluid path
yes
silver hornet
It's just "pay to have a bigger advantage at the start of a wipe"
Yes, you get everything
chrome shoal
oh
fluid path
good choice
chrome shoal

chrome shoal
should i go through the traders and examine everything?
chrome shoal
alright thx
lofty portal
I have poo poo aim but somehow manage to get kills through dumb luck
tribal robinBOT
fluid path
@lofty portal if it works its not dumb
maybe you just havent found the gun for ya
what are you shooting?
lofty portal
Sat in a random bush on customs and was looking at the map open on my other monitor so I could figure out where tf my extraction is
Three dudes wandered past me and I gunned them all down
Bush life
fluid path
hell yea
rise of the bush wookie
im usually watching for bushes that randomly start shooting at me π
lofty portal
I proceeded to die and lose everything because I was running around like a headless chicken trying to titlename
But yeah
fluid path
sprinting thru chokepoints where other people were camping can be bad, yeah
part of thats just learning how the maps flow
lofty portal
That feel of AAAA THERE'S ONLY TWO MINUTES WHERES THE EXIIIIT
fluid path
everybody dies and gets trashed like that tho
2 minutes is pretty close.
you found the wiki, yeah? i like the 3D maps someone made.
lofty portal
The maps work when I can figure out WHERE in the map I am =A=
fluid path
I also try offline to test extracting, i did that everytime a map came out
lofty portal
Compass when
fluid path
heard a lot of that suggestion itd be cool
lofty portal
Tried to orient myself by the sun and it helped a little
fluid path
You use relative location with landmarks? so so customs, orienting yourself with the main road, or the river, or the dorms?
maybe the big red warehouse? stuff you can see from a ways off
as PMC, your extract is gonna be on the opposite side of the map from where you spawned
lofty portal
Yeah I'd look around at everything and still have no friggen clue
fluid path
and MOST extracts are against walls.
Hrm.
Well, you could try offline for no risk. You could do LFG or the Sherpa thing.
bold kernel
I nearly got screwed over by not knowing where the old gas station exit was
lapis pilot
customs is a deceptive map
bold kernel
I still don't where it is
lofty portal
If someone walked over, slapped me upside the head, and told me which direction was north
I would be ok XD
fluid path
Pestily has good map guides you can check out, I recommend em.
lapis pilot
theres like 3 roads that look the same and a bunch of railways that look the same
fluid path
sour plume
north is that way
fluid path
most ppl play solo
you learn the most that way, although i find teamwork like a long term duo friend really fun
i get bored even winning solo
tame compass
I was wondering about something. If I fully load a mosin with ammo type "A" than shoot two rounds and load it with ammo type "B", then which ammo will I shoot next? A or B?
fluid path
should be A, then two rounds of B?
bold kernel
anyone else have this bug when match starts u have mouse cursor in the middle of the screen whole match?
fluid path
i think it would load the next round of A into the chamber, then youd put 2 rounds of B in
willow anvil
ive just downloaded tarkov and im having an audio issue, there is no sound at all, all my other games work fine, ive tried, reinstalling, unplugging headphones, updating drivers and ntohing seems to work, i havent had an issue like this before anyone able to help?
tame compass
But you load the mosin from the top
alpine quartz
what the best dorm room key in customs should i get for the best loot beside marked key?
acoustic mulch
you would shoot the ammo in it already
picture it like this
B
B
A
A
A
shoot from bottom up
tame compass
The bottom of an internal magazine?
acoustic mulch
maybe im tripping
tame compass
Maybe π
acoustic mulch
i guess you can test it out if you really wish
load 2 tracers and 2 normal
and see what shoots
tame compass
oh, there are tracers for mosin too? nice
acoustic mulch
bold kernel
anyone else have this bug when match starts u have mouse cursor in the middle of the screen throughout the whole damn match?
willow anvil
ive just downloaded tarkov and im having an audio issue, there is no sound at all, all my other games work fine, ive tried, reinstalling, unplugging headphones, updating drivers and ntohing seems to work, i havent had an issue like this before anyone able to help?
tame compass
why is it btw that when you try to load a mosin a round always falls to the ground?
fluid path
when you pull the bolt back, the extractor brings a round with it
normally its a spent case, if not, ammo on the ground?
tame compass
yeah, I did notice that I can't always find an ammo on the ground afterwards. You could be right
reef spoke
Be aware diffrent rounds fly diffrently
sweet compass
good to know you can sprint and jump and all that while reloading but you cant move at all while prone that makes so much sense
normal cairn
whats the easiest way to find the extraction?
smoky jolt
use the maps on the eft wiki

@junior yacht https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics
Check that page out -- it lists how effective different ammo types are for different levels of armor
Pst gzh is the most effective
Going at about 75 rubles per round.
junior yacht
yep saw that
thanks
how do you guys do prapovs 3rd quest? the one that requires u to pop 15 scavs in woods?
naive atlas
I go into woods and kill 15 scavs
shadow edge
Hey, what's the optimal vertical recoil for the HK416A5?
naive atlas
I used a mosin
junior yacht
ah
sweet compass
the dudes i killed with a shotty must be hella mad
sweet compass
dog for being new im doing pretty good for my self lol
calm gust
Is there any guidelines to kitting out weapons? Bigger mags and better bullets are probably the most important?
sweet compass
bigger mags are more expensive but yeah thats the route i would take
junior yacht
im gonna be so lost in woods
sweet compass
Bruh the weapon case had guns in it
junior yacht
bruh
calm gust
nice bro π
sweet compass
yeah i dont plan on selling it because i only have starter edition and not very much room in my stash atm
signal verge
What are the first couple things I should be doing to progress as a beginner? I got the standard edition.
junior yacht
keep the aks probably
fallen crane
accept your tasks from each trader
signal verge
Gotcha, did that.
I'm at the point where I can raid and come out with decent stuff. I just have no idea what to hold onto and wwhat to keep to upgrade stuff
fallen crane
what level are you
signal verge
Like, I have a gauge, but I'm not sure if I should keep it lol
junior yacht
if a quest say find in raid does that mean i just cant buy it from the flea market?
fallen crane
you have to find it yourself
junior yacht
ah okay
fallen crane
you can find it on scav however
fallen crane
up to you
junior yacht
ah ok
fallen crane
get level 5 and you can sell stuff/check prices on flea market @signal verge
signal verge
The Therm sells for like 80k. I've been sitting here wondering if I should sell it or not lol
fallen crane
sell it
signal verge
But will do, thanks for the advice
gusty adder
search the wiki, it will tell you if the item is for a quest and if it needs to be found in raid or not

nocturne flax
If I try offline for Lab, will it still consume the key card?
fallen crane
nope
calm gust
all the scavs in woods are just in the main lumberyard mostly right?
fallen crane
there are some spread around, when you kill one more usually spawn nearby to avenge the death @calm gust
limpid pendant
between the red lines where is the elevated area that allows someone to shoot all the way down that road the blue dot is on
i was behind the vehicle there and got sniped but i didnt see the person at all
just tracers
fallen crane
sniper scav?
limpid pendant
no it was a player named im_sorry_UwU
the sniper scav on the tower was dead already, that was the first place i checked when i got shot at
fallen crane
so you got shot by someone in that cone
limpid pendant
yes unless the tracers i was seeing were ricochets
fallen crane
top of train bridge maybe
limpid pendant
nobody was in shortcut window so train bridge is about the only place, im just not sure if its possible to see the ground from there since i was laying down, im never going to exfil for extortionist mission lol
fallen crane
any customs quest where you have to find shit then extract is a pain
wise glacier
whats with the "heating pipes" exit in reserve? how does that work ? do i need to have something to use it or is it random when its available ?
limpid pendant
15 tries now 4 times ive made it into hut
@wise glacier heating pipes is only for scavs and it is only available sometimes, press o twice to see what exfils you can take in a raid
wise glacier
ah ok
yeah i was trying to use it as a scav but it didnt work probably wasnt available thanks
fathom barn
will raiders aggro on player scavs like players?
wise glacier
yep but only if you get real close and usually they shout at you before they shoot
stray gorge
ya un discord francais ???
blissful silo
What's the button to show extracts
valid moat
Double tap O
kind tartan
press o twice
wise glacier
i gotta do customs when i get back from work - really not looking forward to that
bold kernel
customs has a lot camper mpc's
wise glacier
its like that map is packed with fully geared campers just waiting for newbs like me
bold kernel
yeah
fathom barn
thats cause it is lol
wise glacier
kinda feels like a flaw in quest design
force all noobs to a map that is basically certain death for them
fathom barn
apparently it was the first map so a lot of the early quests are stacked on it
rugged umbra
If I just died as a scav, can I do factory run without any weapons? Can you punch as a pmc?
hushed furnace
im mean you can
getting that close to the enemy isnt that easy tho and even then you gotta hit em several times in the head or chest to kill em unless you got one of the better mele weapons
rugged umbra
If I always die as a pmc does it auto heal me while i'm in the main menu though?
I don't wanna run out of meds.
I only got 1 of the medkit things left in my backpack safe.
fathom barn
yes you auto heal out of raid
hushed furnace
it will give you passive health, energy, and hydration regen
rugged umbra
Even if like my leg is black or something?
hushed furnace
ye
fathom barn
you can increase the speed of it by upgrading your hideout as well
rugged umbra
Awesome, I've already upgraded my hideout a bit but only got 80k money left, level 2.
leaden spade
i am getting fucked today. 4 mil on labs keys and havent survived a single one LMAO
fathom barn
i feel ya there brother
i've had a few shitty days in tarkov, and i can't muster up the balls to do this quest in interchange
rugged umbra
I like interchange sorta but I only got a pistol lol.
limpid pendant
last customs run, had 5 mins left and there was still a pmc with a pilgrim camping the exit
fathom barn
i hate every map 
fallen crane
customs night with nvgs is fun
pliant moon
Does what you can build in Workbench vary from time to time?? I swear I used to be able to make 545*39 BS ammo but no longer see the option. But see other ammos I don't remember (lvl 3 workbench)
limpid pendant
not a single decent human being plays customs, i have a crowbar, im just trying to do a quest you dont need to unload an entire ak mag into my unarmored body
pliant moon
I do though, cuz when you find an ak on a dead skav ur gonna shoot me!
limpid pendant
no im going to for the 5th time in 2 days make it to hut only to be killed on my way to the exit as is usual
pliant moon
been playin the game for a month i think ive seen like 2 exit campers... oddd
balmy sentinel
is this the chat where i find people who can make me not shit at the game?
limpid pendant
not even exit campers, just people sniping or whatever because kills without loot is meta now
frosty crown
so whats everyones strat for inventory management
valid dove
Whatβs a good scope for hunter rifle on woods?
frosty crown
recently ive been leaving the top empty so i can just dump and sell things
pallid merlin
@frosty crown Might be an obvious one but making sure everything is organized helps a lot. You can also take off a weapon's pistol grip and magazine to make it only 1 cell wide.
Example
junior yacht
wait so i just bled out on my scav with 250hp remaining
i went over a tiny edge and it took away all my health
limpid pendant
if you have a blacked out lib it goes to other parts with the damage
junior yacht
nah i patched it up
limpid pendant
maybe it went to your head and killed you
fallen crane
you can live with a bled out head
junior yacht
so my arm was close to busted but i cheese'ed it
limpid pendant
but he said he fell from an edge
bold kernel
what are easier items to flip in the flea market, preferably items not bot/macro abused like labs cards lolol
stuck matrix
Just about none by now
That are super profitable
I know if you have a few traders leveled there's some ammo you buy and sell.
Cause people who don't have the traders yet are forced to buy on the market
And there is a small one that doesn't really pay off but is a bit of pocket change
Which is: rechargeable battery > trade in with skier for adar > Disassemble > sell parts to skier then mechanic
adar sells for 20+ something k
