so guys i have an issue of the game
best thing i ever did was buy the keys for the locked doors with safes on customs
dorms evac is nice
@unique zodiac #community-support May be the best place to go if it's a tech issue
what'd I do for completing Find the key from the bunker in the Terragroup employee room?
and u cant click them into an existing stack
@trim herald - you are right in your scenarios. It's just a lot of times you do not see class 4-5 armor on non hot-zones at shoreline for example... so beginners can learn with non-top-tier ammo - it does not mean it is trash (it is for you for your usage tho) - it just means that there are more shades of gray between "always trash" and "only good ammo"
so it takes forever
safes are mostly good for the rare bitcoin/gp/skulls
@young drum !wiki the quest name
only good use is to pay for the evac
rather than the money
and I do always get BS for that calibre ๐
whats with the queue times :(
@trim herald I've read the wiki
besides like super new players, like pre level 5, should always have level 4 on
they dont seem too bad to me
@cloud glacier Sure, there may be a lot of times, but there's nothing more shit for a new player than to put 20 rounds into some guy who's geared and die. Literally nothing.
the game takes forever to load into a match i gave up
When instead they could use better ammo and not fucking die
But rather get some bitchin' loot
There is nothing about Find the key from the bunker in the Terragroup employee room in the wiki. There is info about mags, but no the room
Uley armored rig is super value
And if you spend ANY time in these chats you'll see a fuckton of people, each and every day, complain about dying after putting loads of rounds into some dude
@trim herald - true. But so is dying due to poor map knowledge after buying 90 bullets of BS ammo... without firing even one of them. When they had 300k budget
I found a video where guy went into the room 220 in 3 story dorms, can't confirm its relevant
i'm still surprised people use m856a1 in labs. and i'm not even exaggerating
@young drum What's teh quest?
a lot of them use it..
@stone surge they're running on old knowledge
Eu someone? Im lvl 7 btw
its not that surprising
@trim herald ice cream cones https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ice_cream_cones
@cloud glacier Not really, at least then you know what happened
@stone surge I killed a level 52 using a super modded m4 with 4 mags full of M855
@young drum Just give him 6 mags dude
@young drum Just buy them on flea? <.<
@trim herald Knowing what happened does not make it better to lose 30% of your money just because you were told that is the only thing you should ever go into match with
@languid flare omg. I'm about optional task, man
I mean labs is not even that profitable anymore in terms of pure loot outside of some ledx spawns. Virtex/vpx crashed like no tomorrow. It's all about killing raiders and players at this point and then budgetting on ammo is just weird to me.
not about mags
๐
Why do you bother with optional if the main task is all that matters?
How the hell do you find the ZB-016 extract in Woods?
@nocturne flax take a look on map in wiki
I'm looking at every map people have made, but there are no landmarks or anything to go by to find it
Firing 14k/second is also just not ideal
Yeah I looked at them all
855A1 is good enough - it will one-tap HS 99% of players you run into on labs
since almost nobody runs level 6 or altyns anymore
@cloud glacier Your point is so moot though, if they'll get pissed off by dying with gear they can't afford to die with that'll happen regardless of if they're using BS or not. And if you can't afford it, then there's plenty of other platforms they can use
They need to put a freaking compass in this game
planned next patch
compass already announced
@trim herald talking about moot points is kinda academic here... when two specialists meet they can talk about white room scenario and moot points and fine shades and details. We are in #beginners-assistance and not in #beginners-go-pro-in-one-step - sure - we should tell ppl about differences in ammo - it's just that you've lost the view of a new and confused player and tell him what he should do if he were on your level. And he is just not able to perform this way - for the first few matches when he learns the map and even the controls he should not pick the best ammo (not guns or armors) - and you saying that he is not playing the game in optimal way really does not change a thing for him - he does not know a lot more crucial things at this time
The biggest reason why your argument is an absolute non-factor though is how easy it is to make money in this game
Dammit... I'd have loved a #beginners-go-pro-in-one-step channel...
It's an absolute joke
I dont get the argument here
recommending BS/igolnik to newbies is a bad idea and recommending whatever they feel like using is a bad idea
(if you are lvl 5 @trim herald )
i have to agree there with rom, i can make 200k plus just doing scav cache runs
I agree - and people who are comfortable making money runs do not need this channel ๐
The fuck?
the argument is because beginners get slammed all day in here by people who think they know it all and everyone should play how they do. its happens in the screenshots channel all day. let people be noobs
So once you've seen a cache route for shoreline you're no longer a beginner?
oh come on... do not nitpick
Rommel, thats the same argument for your side
Having money =/= Knowing how to play or not needing help
shidd, no one told me i was an expert now
lol
just because some people know how to make money fast does not mean everyone in this channel does
@blazing kite If noobs want to be noobs without feedback then they shouldn't be in an assistance channel
And ask questions
my total inventory is worth 4.5m (with the standard edition) and ive killed like 5 guys, 3 looting bodies
i second what @languid flare saID
Faolan, after they've asked then they'll quickly be instructed on what to do
givce good feedback dont slam people and tell them how they should be doing it. not everyone plays the same or learns the same
i mean
im going to scroll up
I've taken quite a few people on scav runs as well
and figure out how this even started lol
can someone help me
@blazing kite I don't ever slam beginners, only people who give shit advice to beginners
why run scav if you can preach the word of our god and savior vepr as a pmc
please can someone help me/
@tidal cloud What's up?
what I meant is - if you know how to make money in this game - you can afford to learn everything else the hard way if you want to (so you dont NEED the help to play)... that does not mean that you know all and win all
im usually running a 6B5-15 Zh -86 "Uley" armored rig + ssh helmet someone recommended some other stuff but i cant find it anymore ๐ฆ
@cloud glacier But knowing how to make money does not mean you know anything but a loot run or two
of course if you earn millions and still want to improve by asking questions - come by and sit by the fire ๐
im new to the game and having some difficulty does anyone want to play together?
trick i do is to wishlist the gear you use, then you can quickly find it again @rocky ocean
@fast rivet im using the wishlist for reselling
I agree with rommel 90% of the time in terms of advice to beginners. it's just that there's a lot of ways to approach the game so there's always points where more experienced players disagree with on how to do X or Y. but giving plain bad advice is generally shit upon as it fucks over new players.
loot runs are not free. you stuck into fights, often unfair ones, all the time
i know the gear im using but someone here in discord said ssh is shit and i should swap the armored gear too but i cant find the post anymore
80% of my loot runs i barely encounter anyone
especially interchange
it's pretty easy to not find any players
if you avoid ultra/techlight
@rocky ocean ssh is fine, but generally a helmet is a waste of cash as it likely won't save you and it can also give you away by making you easier to spot
thats why i dont ever bought any helmets
i just stack them up
i always find ssh helmets
I personally just go with a momex
i had no problems with ssh + mosin
anyone wanna play tarkov? im new
prob because ur used to it
probably
is just aids
i used 80% ssh helmets i think with every weapon
oh ty mark
@abstract sun read rules accept them + do the setup to get the pmc role to see the lfg channels ect
@stone surge i just meant i suck dick and im still making money
considering u start with 300k
yeah i get ur point
in my reserve marked run i rarely encounter no one, and when i do, it goes hard and fast.
it's just that you won't get 200mil+ w/o knowledge of the game
im down
why not?
@stone surge What do you mean the mosin is rough with low erg?
this game is so aids
if I am at 4.5 in 3 days
lmfao
ingot a weapons case
@wet moss nope
and no bag
so im gonna magically start losing money?
how tf r u at 4.5 in 3 day
Loot runs
@wet moss because if you make 4.5mil in 3 days and you assume you reach 200mil that means u'd have to play 100+ days
and if u dont have game knowledge in 100 days
well
4.5 in 3 days is quite doable - I got 3 mil yesterday ๐
then i dont know anymore
and I am playing for 3 weeks so far - so I am by far NOT the experienced one here
tf i have 100 hours and i have never increased or decreased
rarely
Is there a ledx spawn on reserve?
easy, just run markeds for a month 3 hour a day
unless it's first week after wipe, but even then 100mill is only easy to reach if you do have knowledge
I need to know some good loot spawns on reserve someone got a vid or reddit post??
maybe, i like fights tho
dude's an asshole
even unfair ones
interchange rasmussen + techlight = guarenteed fights
@trim herald interchange with or without keys?
what should i sell / buy from skier to get his money spent up.. i need to level him badly, what would be something that doesnt lose me alot of money in the end, (i buy and sell to him)
@trim herald Is there a ledx spawn on reserve no right?
so interchange offers chill looting, pvp & dense loot areas
yea
@nocturne flax how is your icon animated?
I'm a retard that pays a multi-million dollar company for that benefit
aka discord nitro
should i cleanup? this trash is getting out of hand. https://i.imgur.com/4dtvdOD.jpg
ahh
@mossy meadow yes wtf,
Not using sell it
@rocky ocean interchange only noteworthy key is medical and kiba
but both are not that great
so can be ran without
Sell them tf
@mossy meadow just keep going
@waxen forge But my boxes :/
ive got all my keys off scacs
@trim herald That's different. I have that too...but he's boxless ๐
i got rb kprl and marked off a scav
@bold kernel do u do every possible scav run?
Yeah but it takes too long to track down to look for the LEDX
Ruins the pacing of the route
And also adds extra risk
the medbay is kinda shitty placed
Does grizzly first aid kit heal up dead body parts as CMS ? Should I just put it in Alpha container without any other meds ? It has everything right ?
which one is it?
anyone know...?
i make my money by doing scav runs on interchange.. pretty much kill the best scav i find and escape
Just run the shoreline ledx run
i found around 3 pharmacies lol
@trim herald Is there a map for key spawns on reserve?
the medbay that requires the key
ahh ok
emercom
Ab okay
Shoreline ledx run will be less cash/hour than Interchange unless you get REALLY lucky
Also way more risk
whats the red grocery store called?
and i suck at killing
Goshan
we always call it iowa because of the russian writing lol
I need to learn where the server rooms are in reserve lol
idek tbh...
any sherpas around?
what i do
is run all the way to dome
Pmc extracts are so much worse than scav ones on reserved it's kind of insane lol
But not bag with manhole ?
i left 5 on the ground
same i camp rd rebel
but often
lmfao so toxi
any sherpas around that would gop on a run with me as a skav?
@bold kernel Shame on you.
Extract camper
in ba 1
hard times
scavhouse is a very good spot for the quest, I died to a scav tho lol, the saiga is so hard to shoot
how do i get a red rebel
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Red_Rebel_Ice_pick
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page red rebel for a direct link or !wiki search red rebel for a list of all hits.
I found it in a weapon crate
I got one in a twitch drop.
Yeah... big 5x5 WCrate and Shturman cash can have it
What bullets should I get for the AK 74N
BS or BT
@raven raptor Caliber?
Nothing lower
Or what Bud said
Also... dang... Third Mosin Scav in a row.
Stop influencing my game, tower >.<
what are the first big upgrades, items/hideouts i should try to go for, have 1.3 mil rn and some hideout upgrades already
Upgrade is workbench
what scopes can I put on a mosin?
Then med stuff
However first big purchase would be Lucky Scav Junk box to store task/hideout items
Workbench is important to be able to mod weapons.
^ this is how you assist beginners
anyone wanna come on a noob labs run? lmao I just killed a guy who had two cards on him
Budracin is one of the only sherpas that is actually active
yeah but ive only been playing a week
im not sure they would wanna do a run with a noob
say that in that channel
lfg is the place to be though
There's always someone who wants to help a beginner
Don't call yourself a noob ๐
Just did my first game, found out that there are an lot of scavs
what is a sherpa
an experienced player who helps new players
Killed 5 scavs died of blood thingy
@pale root If you played as a SCAV - other AI SCAVs would not attack you if you do not attack them
id like to have assistance from a sherpa! how does one get a sherpa
I cant see the difference ๐ ๐
!sherpa

Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
@pale root - SCAVs have kinda weird movement (tho some players try to mimic it with good effect) - you will start seeing this after few games where you were able to observe how SCAV walks / aims
HIT EM WITH A RAT ATTACK!
yo im in need of a sherpa
there is none for that budget
is there at LFG channel? Just starting out and trying to find someone to group with the get the basics down
@wet moss it's not like 50% of possible max armor - it will be a lot less effective
get a PACA
@@wet moss then yeah... you can get a PACA (or that armor you've shown) - just be aware that it won't do much in case of sensible (not best) ammo
Excuse me, I have spent countless hours watching videos on how to get better (not end up broke). But, these videos are not 'really' aimed at new players. I can't do what they do. I don't have a gamma. Does anyone have a video or guide that give actual new player advice? I'm 0-14 on PMC run survival. I've yet to kill anyone. I'm now down to running my scav, and only playing PvE as I wait for my skav to respawn.
Oh, I am level 3. And, I have a tiny few upgrades in my base, but nothing I can 'do' anything with yet.
I've got 3k Euros, anything I can do with them?
if I place a marker on a tanker for prapor will it count if I die?
@bold kernel yeah
so i can just do it with nothing on me?
You can but you have to hold f to place for like 30 sec
and you should place it on the tanker somewhere not obvious because people can destroy them
yea
@trim jewel this game is just not learnt overnight. take your time and focus on extracting rather than looting/killing first.
once you're comfy extracting, try to loot some stuff and gradually you will learn the game
ask questions when they arise.
Lvl 5 can be done in a day and then you have access to flea market which lets you buy any item in the game
@trim jewel what region?
@trim jewel its the same with most games, the content you see on the internet is from experienced players with a wealth of knowledge. usually not going to work for new players. just take what you can from it and apply it to how you play
Can anyone tell me what to do with euros?
@stone surge I understand that. In fact, this is my second go at playing, but it was a year or so ago. It was easier then, I'm getting crushed now. Also, is there some kind of clan or group format? I always seem to be running into groups.
Hello! I have played Tarkov in the past but had quite a big Pause since then, I was wondering if anybody has some time to help me out with some of the basics again? I pretty much forgot most of it.
@stone surge is that all?
I have 3k but would rather turn them into maybe dollars or something
how can i add a front grip and a supressor on to this
Right click on the handgaurd and linked search
also therapist sells item cases for euros
what supressor tho ??
@naive sleet https://i.imgur.com/puTdSDb.png
do a linked search on the part you want to put another part on. it will show you available parts to buy
level 3
Right click on weapon
Click linked search
And boom
All options
Other way is workbench and edit preset
linked search on the weapon will only shows what is available with the current parts installed. if you want to get results for other parts you have to linked search the actual part to see the other options available.
@silk ivy plenty of players sell the itemcases for about the same price though
so you dont really need to wait for therapist lvl 3
Character levels I only get by playing as my PMC, right?
Yes
scavs level also, but its not the same as your PMC, meaning your pmc is where you want to be leveling and getting skills up for raids
^ I mainly mean stuff like unlocking the flea market
Do I have to do that as my PMC or can I do that as a scav
then yeah, PMC is what you want for that
PMC will only count for quests and unlocking things yes. but scav does have levels and skills
Doesn't quite answer the question ^
Scav levels and skills are different, and I wish they had more information in the game about the scavs honestly.
If you want to unlock things, you need to play as your PMC.
Alright, fuck me then
So question about guns
Time to learn the game again
Attachments and the weapon itself ^
high ergonomics, and mods that reduce recoil
Ergo reduces recoil?
Ergo makes the weapon easier to control, so yes.
ergo is for handling the weapon. ADS and turning
Didnโt know that
Also ads noise
not really that ^
because the AS Val is a disgusting monster
it's after sp6/spp buff
and that raiders use vals in labs
so there's a huge influx of vals
I mean, everybody I see using a val has virtually no recoil
it's the RoF on the Val, it throws so many rounds so fast, it's basically a laser
if those 2 didn't happen, vals wouldn't be as common
so I assumed it has high ergo's
recoil in this game is really only the first few shots. right after that it will go back to where your aiming
how the fuck do you exit via rock passage
Welp, I am off now to re-learn everything about this game
@vocal mural https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUBoR_hDXRE
Just a quick video showing rock passage extract for pmcs on shoreline.
Check out my twitch channel:
https://www.twitch.tv/katzenshaft
Do you have it as an option as exit?
yes it says rock passage
If not, then yeah, you won't be able to escape that way
does it have ???? next to it
yes
then it's dead for you
so that means it may or may not be available
fuck me

so sad
Just have to keep moving
you would see 2 green smoke signals if it was available
Would a modded SKS with BP ammo be a good mid tier gun capable to kill lvl 5 armored guys? Comparing to an adar with m855a1 or a ak-74m with BS
Use a vepr
vepr 366?
But yes, a vepr 136 with BP is fine
Better than sks?
No, 136
Eh, larger mags
what'd be a good scope for it?
More modding options
25 mag is big enough
Whatever you like I guess
for semi
I see
aight
Max mag for vepr is 25?
Elcan is a cheap 1/4
also 2x 25 mag is cheaper than 2x30 when using bp
im trying to do gunsmith PT 2 and i followed the wiki and it still wont let me turn in the gun
i did
You have the AKS-74UN
i have the one that mechanic gave to me himself
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_2
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page gunsmith part 2 for a direct link or !wiki search gunsmith part 2 for a list of all hits.
How do i screenshot

New players never use cheap ass Ammo!
what
Everything is right, try restarting maybe
um, question, eft for some reason starts on one of my side screens, not the main one, any way to change that?
There was a way to be able to play a map as like practice? You do not gain anything and lose anything. Is that still in the game?
@stone surge Can't see it anywhere.
@wise glacier Try #community-support
ah found it
@quasi breach click next on the map u wanna play till us ee it
@wise glacier I know the issue, want me to explain in private chat?
@quasi breach sure !
generally speaking
SKS < RSASS < M1A?
SKS < EVERYTHING ELSE < M1A
So M1A is like god tier
It's my favourite gun
expected smth better
how do i find lookign for groups?
got it thanks
i finished the quest thanks rommel
rommel is a beast ngl
@rigid star head to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup
and react
anyone wanna do a customs run real quick before I have to go?
Hey, why is the flea showing me a ton of items as 'out of stock'? looking at weapon attachments and never noticed it before. want to make sure i didn't accidently toggle a filter somewhere.
Can somebody accompany me with the bronze pocket watch quest? Maybe give me some pointers?
just buy the key and go to the truck
@short moon set the stock filter to 1 - infinity
Thanks man, knew I fiddled with something somewhere.
best way to get money spent up on ragman and skier?
i think it was set automatically for a lot of people @short moon
it was for me too
ahhh
no
Wait you can buy the key
Why did I get an upgrade to covert movement while playing as a scav then
you upgraded your PMC's skill
!wiki checking
idk then
damn aight
then dont give an answer
You can increase trader reputation by selling them stuff right ? If i do not have any quests from it anymore for example ?
best way to get money spent up on ragman and skier?
i did give an answer, but you're a bit too dumb to understand it
Giving the wrong answer is worse than not answering
you're just a bit dense mate
No brad, your answer was wrong
I love how poorly moderated this channel is lmfao
wtf
#pvp-lfg level 13, just trying to get some clean extracts this fine saturday morning
Hey was wondering if anyone had a free trial they could spare, I have to wait on my tax return to buy the full game and I'm about to run out of the trial I'm on today.
Does my scav has his own skills that I can level up?
yes
@stoic nebula 
best way to get money spent up on ragman and skier? does anyone know?
Correct me if I'm wrong... but I believe you get random scav each time - so you CAN level up skills of the given SCAV (and I did get lvl ups during match) - but you will not keep those skills for next SCAV runs ?
@bold kernel for example buy panama hats from ragman -> sell them to skier
Just got two resort red keys, 222 specifically. Anybody want to help me get in there?
IS it possible to increase traders rep without quests ?
wtf are panama hats?
panama hats
what
@bold kernel oh i assumed they were tier 1
just check what else you can buy
w/o limit
and sell that to skier
I just sold skiers sb5 mags for slightly less on flea to level him up
I leveled them both up today actually. Buy the penis helmet and resell it on the Flea market cheaper than he sells it, did the same with Skier of one of his items
mkay.
tetris update, when
servers bad this morning?
If I buy a fuel container on the flea market does it have gas in it already?
^
Where would it say its full?
ive been in queue for over 25 mins for scav reserve
yes
I did. Is it the 60 number with the bar?
60/60 is full
okay thanks
@pliant plank do you have your servers set to auto in the launcher ?
empty is still useful due to it being used in crafting
thats why empty ones are still expensive
@cloud glacier yes
hello
damn... it usually helps for me - but I'm in the EU. Maybe someone else has some other intel on that
i have mission called deput
Yes
from where i get 1 mp-133?
Flea market or scavs ๐
2*
do you need it from in raid?
I'm at spine in woods and its full of spiners lul
you can buy it from flea market if you are lvl 5
otherwise kill scavs on customs they usually are using mp-133s
im lvl 3
@warm token play until 5, just scav, and then buy them from flee
if you get to lvl 5 you can buy them from the flea market
is the S I C C case worth it?
are you from eu or na?
IMO no but people seem to love it
what space, it's just a keytool you can put dogtags in
thanks a lot, eu servers close to me
my offer sold and now its stuck on out of stock and i cant add an offer how do i fix it, restarting didnt do it
dogtags / currency / keys / keycards?
@plucky apex might be because you haven't collected the money from the sale
@karmic meadow I only use the SICC case for Shoreline, because I have too many keys there. Any other map I use a key tool. SICC case is it worth it if you collect dogtags frequently, and if you feel like the extra space is worth it.
^^^^
@shrewd bobcat ive collected the money aswell
alright, so until I get good I'll deal without
@warm token if you cant get the mp133s i can drop them to you if you want
@plucky apex It's a glitch that's happening since they removed market time
I don't know how to fix I'm afriad
You have 2 things in your messages
Is that not it?
yeah but they wont go away so im stuck selling 1 thing at a time
kinda a pain but thanks for trying
@karmic meadow It is like just about anything in this game. You need to decide if it it is worth it to you. It is like me dumping 10K rubles into a VPO-136 just to screw around with. It is fun for me, therefore worth it. For the sane, not i the least.
No thatโs been around before yesterday
Yeah but 10k is nothing
thanks ill go customs and try to find
Ooops, typo... 100K
Oh
how to make my aim on hold only and how to change fov?
@plucky apex Some people are saying that sold out offer fixes itself after the time runs out ... It is contested though some say they have been waiting days. General advice seems to be report the bug to BSG
Settings?
@wheat basalt you do not want it on hold only
scope switching required pressing keys while you're ADSing
@wheat basalt Be careful with change on hold. It messes up other settings liek changing reticle and switching sights
and by default it is alt+rclick... which you cant do if you have to hold rclick
alright thanks bud @celest condor
can anypne direct me to the extract on woods
i got the yaeger task that i need
but i have to extract
what extract and where are you currently?
im at his tree house where you get the item for unlocking him
and i have
outrskirts fac gate
dude why are the fps in scopes so shit
and cliff decent
okay go to plane wreck, go past its tail, hit the outer wall turn left.
@trim herald no scavs at spine, they got costantly picked off by snipers on other positions at lumber and then I died from a sniper
hug the wall ALL the way around the map and you will get out.
so far only at scav house I've had success
You're in the wrong place dude
you told me to go to mountain spine
thats where I was
Long walk ahead of you, be especially near the first set of rocks on your left, then again after you pass anoher set of rocks near a road.
Bruh
I switch to limber side because NO scavs where spawning
for 10 minutes
I try to go for lumber, I hear one scav, I turn around to kill it and then I get sniped
So then don't blame me for getting sniped
wich are better for hearing steps? comtac2 or tactical sports?
yeah but no scavs spawned at spine literal 0
Whatever you prefer flex
hm..
And you patrolled up and down the entire thing, and checked both passes?
yes I spawned at stash at 29 so I was immediately close I was there until 15 then I moves
well im just tryna figure out which one exposes sounds of nearby steps etc.
cause im going in interchange
They both do
exposes more*
I went from choke to close to plane like 5 times
the moment I go for lumber I hear scavs but I also die
@bold kernel They will both work. All the headsets are functionally the same with just small differences in how it sounds. At least it used to be that way and I have not read about any changes.
I mean considering I've never not seen scavs there
Sure
Sometimes there's not more than one or two, but there's always some
And I have killed as many as 10 spawning there
blue line is where I spawned, red is what I patrolled and purple when I tried to go for lumber and died
I patrolled red for like 15 minutes 0 scavs
what map is that
And you missed the second pass
I would've seen or hear scavs on second pass, I got very close to it everytime I passed
@bold kernel bottom part of the woods map
unless you mean to imply that they're just motionless there T posing bugged and invisible
hm.
well... bottom leftish
I mean to imply that throughout hundreds of woods raids I've never not seen a scav there
But clearly you're special
gentlemen... is it just possible SCAVs have been killed before and for some reason he did not see the bodies ? ๐
Sure
I spawned literally closest to everyone there
Or that he fucked off before they spawned
idk
oh well - guess I tried keeping temperature down ๐
I have had the rare raid where I have not seen scavs there. True I was not avcticaly hunting them, but I would wait a few minutes for them to show up. But yes it is definitely a scav area I am careful going past.
you said they spawn at 20, I was still there at 14, but I had to move also because I eventually have to extract
Pretty sure I never said an exact time, I may have said AFTER 20, but it's more of a rough estimation
You can easily make it across the map in 7 min
yeah but there can be any number of stuff that can happen and make me lose time so
I need to kill USEC. Anyone got advise for a decent PvP load-out and route for factory?
Anything that's decent at close range @naive sleet
No such thing as a route for factory though
What shotgun and ammo would be good for that?
@naive sleet I use shotguns regularly on Interchange. I prefer buckshot so I use 8.5mm buck. Flechette lacks flesh damage and I struggle against plain scavs with flechette,
If you like slug AP-20, But if you prefer slug take a rifle anyways.
Also if you use 8.5mm recoil is greatly increased, I strongly suggest using a monster claw muzzle brake.
do people run noob runs for new players lol
@celest condor What shotgun would that be?
Last tip with buckshot... Bring more than you think you will need, remember stacks are only up to 20 rounds. And shoot them more than you think. I regularly shoot 3-5 shots or more for every scav I kill. If it is a PMC, I empty my gun into them.
Typically a cheap MP-152 with cylinder adaptor, monster claw, sprm mount, and MRS sight.
I liek the MRS sight with the circle and hatch marks on it for my shotguns.
im so mad
im so bad
@pliant plank No, his stuff's safe
F
brhu
@trim herald fun but overkill
after changing my mindset about going into raids ive gotten a lot better, instead of going in worrying about my loot, im going in valuing my life more, its a lot more fun too
that's some lucky insurance return
@bold kernel Exactly the mindset I have.
You make the most money in the long run by not dying.
yeah like theres no point taking worthless fights when theres a 50/50 chance you can lose everything
I just like to sit back and relax
I think I am definitely more of a recon player
how the fuck am I supposed to do my quests with everyone kill on sighting in dorms without using up everything I own
i can never find extraction
anyone know how much this would be worth?
@zenith mural go into offline mode and learn the maps, also go to reddit and get the in game maps from there and learn that way too
@zenith mural First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnโt 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 doesnโt work can PM the contact moderator bot for help. #pvp-lfg

what's the best way to level strength? need 8.9 points
Throw nades/flashes
kk. any idea how much you get per throw?
how do i press purchase
@wheat basalt at the top
Deal at the top
ty
@bold kernel Split and sell to traders
@upper sky I am NOT certain... but I believe I've heard in some pestily vid that it's 0.1 point per throw (or at least it might have been at some point in the past)
100k
can i play offline to extract and get loot?
While leveling skills, the character will now have "exhaustionโ of skill per raid, this means that skill will be leveled more slowly during the raid after every repeat. If you do not level a certain skill for a while (a few minutes), the character will recover and will be able to level this skill with normal speed again. This change is directed against skills abuse (targeted and consecutive leveling of the same skill)
Skills now have a maximum level that can not be overcome even with stimulants-60 #โใกpatch-notes
no
@bold kernel 180k on flea market
in offline nothing counts but the lessons you leartn
i must have been thinking bout a different key my bad
@wheat basalt no you can't - you can just learn there (but you can use your equipment and you do not lose ammo used there and so on)
you dont lose anything in offline mode
@ionic lava Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesnโt work can PM the contact moderator bot for help.
@wheat basalt Would you like some help??? Like a guided raid to teach you to make money?
yes
@celest condor im down but i only have like a pistol so i cant really kill much. ive tried playing in some factory map and it just spawns me on like another player
OK I SPAWNED scav interchange with labs keycard found a miltary base key gotta get the FUCK out.
and i died.
LOL
thats great, good job 
i knew i shouldnt have greeded and tried to loot the last body
should have just gotten out
got super unlucky with my customs extracts tho
@waxen forge i went to both places was i just supposed to hit the check in setup?
yeah dont sitck around somewhere for too long, eventually someone will come to investigate the shots
i just got this game like 5 minutes ago after messing with the payment system for 5 hours.... anyone wanna play and teach me the ropes???
does the fps command not work anymore?
ill play with ya @atomic forum
Woohoo sweet thank you

@pliant plank does it only work in a game?

anyone familiar with woods mine helping me unlock jaeger? ๐
i tried it on scav it didnt seem that bad
fal is good
uhhh theres no grenade launcher in the game is there?
not yet, there will be though
There was in alpha
I just went into factory and someone was shooting flashbangs at me
But they tended to crash the server
heyyyy can someone help me do the introductions quest i dont know woods map :/
@harsh ibex I need to do it too, and have only been on woods once lol
well yea.. but i cant just go in with a map and expect to do it easily
if you're ever lost just hug the outside wall
ive been to woods once too
you will eventually hit an exit
i suddenly cant pick up stuff or it just goes blinking in my inv
quick need help
im in fuckin techlight..
what to do
@bold kernel - lag
^
Desynch
it will timeout in a moment and will probably close and tell you to reload
same lol
hi, can someone explain how to get the PMC role? Theres no mention of it in the rules channel. theres also no instructions in the setup channel. all i can do is click a flag icon for my server region and a checkmark for notifications.
is there some kind of bot channel i havent seen? thank you in advance
YOu have the PMC role
you have the pmc role
You have the role
You have it ๐
i just realized, but the server doesnt tell you that ^^
don't overpmc your roles please ๐
i mean
thanks tho ๐
well i always had to enter a command in some sort of bot channel to get any roles
you got your role when you accepted the rules
just hoard soe
sope?
some matches
dude
i need fuel so bad lmao
matches are in like everything
woods is scary
Hey!
Is there a guide about looting? i wonder what to take most of the times, meds seem really handy to grab but i also see attachment's and such.. what's usually the items to lookout for? I am new and i'm learning about the game step by step but i do not know usually what my goal is
search some guides on youtube
can't you make fuel in your hideout from lighters?
@lapis crag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wqnwwdLASY
Are you looking for what items to keep in Escape from Tarkov? I show you all the quest items to keep so even as a beginner you will know what to do. This is a great video For EFT Quest items.

or are those empty when you craft them?
@lapis crag there certainly are guides - but the best thing is to learn when selling (otherwise you might forget either way - there is A LOT of different stuff in the game to loot). When you get to lvl 5 you'll get access to flea market that will make it easier for you
@bold kernel Thanks ๐

So pretty much play a bit till im level 5 to understand the basic value of things?
you can, lavatory
2
i have so many fucking crickenets
Be aware that a guide from december may be dated by now
yeah I remember crafting one like that . haha why do you make gas at all in a pooper? or mag boxes?
yeah just play and mess around in offline mode for a bit and then once you feel comfortable go online and start doing tasks for traders
uninstalling
@lapis crag well... I'm not gonna lie... you will still be very much learning at that point ๐ but you will get an access to the market and check quickly everything ๐ Also you will get some feeling about how much roubles per slot is "a good loot" - and how much your basic equipment costs
also why soap and water for shampoo...can't I just rub the shampoo on my head?!
err, soap
Does wipe resets skills or levels ?
and @lapis crag always check therapist first too before you sell somethings on the market. I see a lot of stuff going for less than what she buys it for
wipe resets everything
@long hazel everything - you start your stash and PMC as you would just buy the game
that sucks, any ideas how often there is a wipe ?
When there's a major content patch
they said they next one is ~ 5 months away, take it with a grain of salt
hmm, ok. Do you think they will keep wiping once the game releases?
I think that video that got linked is really helpful for me, thanks again for giving me some advice about how to handle this
I believe they said no after full release, it's not something they want to do
cool ๐
but they do it whenever major changes happen so people can test out the new stuff
yea makes sense
GOD
@long hazel at this point in time they do not want to keep wipes... but given how much time there is to the full release - it can change many times as they develop stuff
IS THERE A WAY TO FIX THESE RETARDED LAG SPIKES?
DON'T BETA ME
eventually all will be familiar though, right?! haha
AND THEY ARE GETTING WAY TOO MANY PLAYERS THAN THEY ARE READY FOR
YES THERE IS GOING TO BE LAG SPIKES
@harsh ibex me and a buddy (who also doesn't know woods) are probably going to attempt jaeger soon if you want to join us and probably fail due to our combined lack of map knowledge ๐
but THEY GET ME KILLED AFTER I FINALLY DO WELL FOR THE FIRST TIME
sure
REEEEEEEEE
i dont have a mic tho
just waiting for him to wake up and get on. I'll ping you whenever we're ready
@cloud glacier yea, I guess
no worries. just don't shoot me on purpose or something lol
I probably won't bring in much gear, just basic armor and a hunter with a pso scope or something
i dont have that much gear anyway
sounds good

@nocturne flax also - those might not be the latency lags - your machine might be freeing some RAM - if that would be the case - there are programs that MIGHT help with that (you'll get smaller lags but a little more often)
Does anyone else's game freezes for like 1 second every once in a while?
Should I bother with the optional objectives that some trader missions have?
Its very annoying
cant relate
I'm a retarded graphic designer, RAM isn't an issue for me
@long hazel Everyone I am aware of based on streamers I've seen and people I've talked to ๐
how do i see people searching >1 thing at a time
hey i love ur game XD
just get a better pc dooh
@cloud glacier shieet
XD
I suck so bad at this game
its in betaaaa
@nocturne flax It's not about "having biggest RAM" but about unused data that needs to be cleaned after a while - if it clears once in a while - spike will be longer
we cant get mad at them too much
And FOR ONCE, I did stupid great - killed like 6 scavs, at least 3 of them were players
yall just need a new titty anime mousepad
tarkov gives then tarkov takes
I was so close to the 1011 extract, took out a couple more scavs
then here comes Mr. Lag Spike HEY JOAQUIN I HEARD YOU WERE OVERDUE FOR A FUCKING LAG SPIKE, HERE'S ONE BUD
AND BAM, I'M MR PLAYER SCAV HERE TO SHOOT YOU IN THE BACK OF YOUR STUPID IDIOT HEAD
GOD I WANNA DIP MY FACE IN SOME ANIME TIDDY
So i got this golden TT gun, is it special or something? i just kept it because it looked special xd
this will happen multiple times in your tarkov experience my friend
@lapis crag pretty sure thats a scav boss gun
my tarkov experience thus far has been โ ๏ธ
Huh, i got it from killing a random enemy in a building with a hunting rifle shot to the scalp
that's why i'm particularly angry abotu this death
i didn't even know it was a raid boss
it might have been someone that killed the raid boss
Hello, I'm a new player just got the game today, looking for someone to play with
and took his golden tt
how to level search fast way?
sam wolffe go to #521628660298678283 and accept then go to #pvp-lfg
Should I bother with the optional objectives on trader missions?
finally a good interchange run..
i dont think it gives you better rewards if you do does it?
