Finding it really hard to get to factory pump control without being blasted before going up the stairs
@bold kernel must be nice.
im wondering if i should keep my gpu's for the btc farm or just sell em...
noice @bold kernel
i mean u can just buy gpus back
but if i do sell the gpu's im probably gonna have to buy em again later.
so ill just keep em
WHat map should i learn guys?
for helping to find the extraction point have a map open on like a second screen or on your phone
Noice
meh.. ima just sell it actually ill buy later
one mans trash is another mans treasure
I dont know, im pretty new as well
Oie what's that lone alkali doing away from the rest >;[
@nocturne flax First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnβt 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. To request a sherpa visit #sherpa-info and click the link.
So I've put together a list of tips and useful information for people who are either starting out on EFT or are just looking to refine their skills.
Time Stamps
0:30 - Learn via Offline Mode
1:53 - Learning Maps + Player Counts
4:03 - Insurance
6:05 - Medical System
10:50 - ...
fine @dawn vapor ill organize it
:)
ty @waxen forge
@waxen forge Read a little further up - I died thanks to a lag spike
yes @bold kernel ? u pinged me? owo
It happens
Yeah, thanks for offering the help though
Where is the best place to do offline horde?
factory
i got disconected in the middle of techlight cause of lag... then i walked 2 steps after reconnecting and found a gpu... my lucky day i guess
jk i have no idea
XP
Although now I'm tempted to do that
just ordered a new headset boys, lets hope its better for tarkov than my current
Which one?
just buy some cheap philips headphones π
why should you learn Customs first? because the prapor quest gets you to do that?
Prapor, Therapist and Skier all have starting quests on Customs
ordered Logitech Pro X
which key is needed for customs shortcut?
the ones that shroud uses
i dont watch shroud..
not talking to u goki was answering an earlier question sorry
Anyone looking to play with a new player?? Im trying to learn the maps and have fun π
accept rules
my work called me in early
and go to looking for group
RIP tarkov time
still can anyone tell me which key is needed for the customs shortcut?
why am i still not getting quests from peacekeeper,
There is no looking for group tab?
ive done friends from west part 1
@pliant plank I've had issues with logitech headsets
@trim herald ive had my logitech g430s for 4 years
and they still work perfectly
im just wanting to upgrade
Thank youuu!
Whats up with the matching times? 3+ minutes on all available servers
anyone have an idea?
what lvl r u flex?
okay. didnt know.
Even says in the quest text π
Which section of the flea market has cases and such? How do I filter for them? nvm found it
err i need like 3k dollars lmao
@pliant plank thanks β€οΈ
If I upgrade to EOD what happens to my current stash?
It E X P A N D S
T H I C C
@raw inlet so uhh we gonna do that thing or u friend still snoozin
is manual or auto server selection faster
im no expertino at this game
but im pretty sure auto is better
its how ive found matches quickly
I have labs keycard in inventpry how come clicking next does fuck all lol?
damn matching times are really slow right now huh
yep
I got it
can anyone help me get decent stuff?
@harsh ibex ready for some woods?
Is docs case or ammo case worth it? I have 1 mil saveed up
guess ill go grind some COD
@raw inlet Yes and yes, you're saving space
since i cant get ingame
WHY
how do you elite a skill
Get lvl 51
@shrewd bobcat I didn't ask about the case, I assume you meant @frigid fog π
When do you start getting tasks for peacekeeper?
The labs card needs to be on you
Once you compete skiers friend from the west part two
Can someone explains how the raiders work in labs? Can't find any in offline
you spawn by activating elevators (extracts)
Did you turn in AI
or by opening the hangar/parking gate
Yes
they also spawn in waves
They spawn in if no one ops anything
LET ME PLAY
@split vapor pretty sure they even spawn in waves randomly when elevators are activated.
i dont have key tool
i was in a game once where all elevators/gates were pressed and the map was clear
then suddenly random wave of raiders pushed in dome
Is the keytool 2 squares or 1 ?
1
Is woods and factory easy to learn? gotta learn them to levelup prapor :/
Factory is easy to learn but you will die alot
factory i recommend doing offlien first
Woods is easy to learn if you know someone who knows it and can show you call outs
the map is small so easy to learn
^
if you go in factory online, you will die before you see all corners of the map
even though its small
Woods seems kinda hard to learn since there's not many buildings to see where you are
yes woods is hard to learn for sure
Good loadout to take into labs? (Weapon wise)
VSS/Val is solid
Hatchet π
I don't like either of them ;-;
aslong as you use AP SX
another interchange run another waste of a scav
tx-15/m1a also work, but I play labs differently when I have a semi
compared to automatic
scav interchange is rough
I've never played it and tbh it's quite scary rn
that moment when u do interchange runs with a 30k weapon and come out with over 400k worth of stuff 
Interstingly
it's just not that rewarding loot wise
but i make it out alive with 4/5 times on reserve
since vpx/virtex crashed.
i mean if youre scav interchange u might spawn late
and never made it out a single time on interchange
Labs is the only map that i get over 60 fps on ;-;
where can I get bolts and nuts from? (for the workbench)
@radiant glen Loot toolboxes π
@shrewd bobcat Labs will get ur heart pumpin' like no other map π
and 3 more just showed up within 3 seconds
if u spawn scav interchange late back of oli usually never gets looted there's atleast 200k worth of stuff there give or take
yeah sometimes you get good spawn/time
i killed 2 and the last guy was just too kitted for me
I guess I need to find a sherpa who does labs..
you wont find them
all the tech stores are so centralized ur just gonna get rolled up on if u get into a fight
sherpas generally dont "teach" in labs.
i need to get a keycard and run offline labs
dont go to tech stores...
hell, most sherpa's are not even comfy on labs themselves.
back of oli and out if u wanna be extra safe
labs is hella hard lol.
i honestly am not trying it till im lvl 50
There is no harm in asking
VSS is way more meta than M4
Any sherpas for customs/interchange?
Level doesn't really mean anything unless you a having a level = gear ratio
my scav spawned with a VSS
worst ammo tho
so i couldnt do anything against a guy with armor
i hate the fire rate of the vss... its good for up in ur face but ur mag might run out before his and he would be alive
It's strange because the VSS for me does nothing, best ammo, fully kitted, nothing. I would rather use an AK over a VSS lol
i single tap vss
plus, 30 round mags are hella exp.
well you need to actually aim with the vss past 50m
21k?
that 300ms
well if ur new and wanna run interchange for making money and u die quite a bit its not worth it..
all you need is a pso, 20's and so6
I mean way cheaper than running a meta M4 though
and or a cante red dot also
If you're running interchange for making money you're not taking a VSS you're hitting stashes surely?
Like WAY cheaper
does anyone wanna run with a complete noob?
only vss you need
I'd just got with a PK-06 on the VSS the vast majority of the time
yeah i run it pk06
Why PSO on vss though
to snipe duh
He's a sherpa he's probably nuts with it
still, i'd go with another gun if i wanted to snipe
he's a god he probably rapes everyone in the lobby..
The VSS is a sniper
If I post a pic of a gun in here can someone lemme know the best way to make the most money from it?
Isn't that tower?
Woods yuck
thats me, who else would it be
Shootmeup, sherpa me? π
@sand abyss Split it
that bullet drop control tho...
And sell it to traders
Traders? To get the best price?
Yes
Yes
bruhh why is matching taking so long
I guess Tower wouldn't need a second insurance shot
the first shot hit him
Depends on your area, I tend to get in games in less than 2 mins
yeah that bullet drop control is craaazyyy...
i sent a second one becuse of how slow the round acgtually was
@bold kernel https://streamable.com/a47pf
i would not want u in my game...
You hate to see it
get away from me u devil
That's no vss
What are the most popular maps?
interchange prob.
interchange
They're all popular
If there's enough people to fill a game, it's popular enough
How much is 0/68 gen4 assault?
around 150k-ish
Really?
it repairs horrible
Yeah I know
On flea I mean what does 0/68 go for
and gen4 in general is overrated
No way it's 150k
Damn ok just surprised, ty
if u can find them
i mean, it repairs bad. costs like 70k to repair
and u'll have a ~60/60 gen4
for about 200k
I thought it would be even cheaper tbh
nah because gen4 is overrated so people buy them frequently.
tactec best
^^ this is a good man right here
Tactec for value tier 5
Tactec or Killa
the thing with killa
is that it's double the price of tactec
just for stomach protection
what map should i start playing on?
i rather buy 2 tactecs
And better protection?
@maiden cedar interchange
It's got more durability
k tnx
Takes more rounds
i use killa
@trim herald depends how you see it
Sure
which is pointless damage anyway
it repairs the best too
But it takes more rounds regardless of where you get shot π
It says game not purchased when I launch my launcher.
still, paying 100-150k more for that idk
thoughts on pistol lab runs?
@hidden meteor repairs same as tactec
why
so that is not really relevant
cause ppl there are very good...
ur with a pistol
their probably squads most the time
pestily does it
are u pestily?
and he dies a lot
and he makes profit a lot
the thing is
just throw 1 or 2 things in ur gamma
No, that's misconcenption.
you as a new player see pestily going in with pistol
coming out perhaps 2 times
out of 3
anyone here that wants to teach me the game
= not that much gained if he doesn't find ledx
virtex/vpx are crashed like no tomorrow
and finding a full gen4 just pays for the labkeycard
if you make it out 2 times out of 3
= basically a small profit
and that chance is small
Finally did the quest, but @trim herald I want to share with you what happened; I went to the same spot again(Spine/Choke), this time making sure I also circled around the other passage, and around 18 with no scavs appearing I start hearing shots all around me, and another dude with a shotgun, but way better armor appears. I shot him like 15 times but he didnt die, so I circled him to try and suprise him but silenced m4 and sniper shots try to kill me but only blacken my arm(mind you I'm like around tent, still in the area, with trees all around me that are supposed to "protect me"), so I go to mid woods and in mid woods I find 3 scavs, easy kills. Then I have to chill because people are still around(I am between mid woods and mountain spine), and good thing that I had the zb-014 key, the "trap", because without it I couldn't have made it out in time.
Moral; no, scavs dont fucking spawn there and its full of pmcs, even snipers
I run labs litterlly all day and my honest opinion is that it's not profitable going in with pistols/hatchet.
over a long period of time.
especialyl now the loot is garbage
your right about that @stone surge
Oh actually in the screen it says I eventually killed the shotgun dude, I just didnt loot it because I was getting shot
what i thknk the loot is better caus the braiders have better guns @stone surge
yeah
Guys, I restarted my PC and it says game not purchased
veyx
what r best keys
A guy killing scavs not in Spine, since he came from lumber
for reserve
I was at spine and ambushed him
reserve? no clue it's the only map i dont play
reserve is the only map i like
what
i dont like reserve.
same
reserve is sleeper for me, half the time you dont see players, everyone just camping sniping
interchange is the worst map IMO
Scavs don't spawn at spine, they spawn in the zones around(mid woods, lumber woods) but not spine, nor choke
I just want pvp fast so interchange techlight / resort and labs
is all I do basically
HΓ«lp
I can run it 100 more times and try to record it if you want
And at every point when I've tried to help you you've argued
Every single fucking time
Yeah because your suggestions only got me killed!!
where is the loot in the malls? im walking into shops but theres nothing
No
Every single time!!!
YOU have gotten yourself killed
@wheat basalt it's the techstores
On quests that I have done a dozen times
techlight / rasmussen and the one below techlight
And when I don't follow them, I did the quest magically!!
and emercom
And EVERY TIME you've asked for help it's because you've had issues doing it your way
So don't give me that shit
Calm down rommel jees π
You're dying because you're bad at the game, not because of any advice
Tru I was having issues at pve woods but once I went to scav house and mid woods(which are not spine) I solved it
ok dude
I would tell you to try it yourself but your obviously not acquainted with woods as much as you say you are
@stone surge Alot more than you have mentioned. Like German for tech, Mantis, Adik, Generic, etc...
Sooo much loot in interchange it is insane.
im in ikea or whatever is there loot there?
Yeah clearly, even though I've done the quest already
But I obviously imagined that eh?
And I've done the quest multiple wipes running
Idea, in the office, and leave the back of the office and the row of furniture displays on the aisle to the left has statue spawns.
@celest condor german afaik doesnt have any good spawns and yes mantis/adik/generic have bags and meds, I forget that it's still loot.
but once you're established you only go for the actual good loot
@stone surge Yeah graphic cards and 1ggphones suck.
rather than the smaller ones
Adik also has 5 jackets.
but sportbags are super good
actually
it takes a while to search so i kinda hate looting sportbags
but it really adds up and the occasional fuel conditioner
is nice
Blue shelves in the back of the IDEA offices are a sleeper for loot too
Keep seeing people missing them
The stores upstairs being renovated are decent as well. hoses and fuel tanks.
Same with Oli front
hoses and that are pretty good
Oli has shelves just behind the cassiers
Bsck right of OLI is my source for fule tanks and water filters.
Hell even power station. 5 jackets, fuel conditioner spawn, 2 hidden stashes, filing cabinet...
how do i do the gunsmith part 1 quest?
!wiki gunsmith part 1
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_1
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page gunsmith part 1 for a direct link or !wiki search gunsmith part 1 for a list of all hits.
Techstores are over rated?
yea i saw that
I can get 300k easily from a simple Oli run rather than go for RNG of finding a GPU in techlight
You must be smoking
no they are
I mean you hit both?
@trim herald what atachments do i need
They're literally right next to eachother
dude I know how good techlight is
Click the wiki?
It'll literally tell you in the wiki
I rarely bother with the race for tech shops either. They can be great, but so much more than just tech shops on interchange
you can litterly run in and out with 300k
in like 1-2mins
which is not RNG based
and no pvp
or barely any
ive made 1.5 mil today
from interchange
from real budget weapons, and going thru players
Iunno, my route of hitting Oli and then grabbing techs has treated me well
im pretty sure
someone that runs techstores 24/7 compared to someone running oli 24/7
the one with Oli will come out on top in terms of profit
by quite a mile
But why make it either or dude?
the train extraction
i run both techstores and oli bro
best profit.
@trim herald sorry if I offended you, its just that even if I might only have just 300h into the game, my experience with the map has been totally different from what you have said. Cheers
I die like 9/10 times going kiba :/
is the military checkpoint key good?
kiba aint even worth it
ofc you can do both, but I still dont recommend beginners to do techstores when they dont even know the map
People there all the time
just scooped it off this dead guy in interchange
I mean I just tell them to do the Pestily route
I could be saying hey man, just kill raiders in labs and farm some ledx there
Which is hitting both
4Head
Kiba can be good, sights, silencers, M4a SOPMOD II, and if you are really lucky Gen4 HMK or RSASS
still techlight is super pvp heavy
well i usually go into oli front entrance straight to tech stores usually find either tetriz or gpu, thats garunteed profit right there cause gamma case then i run to back of oli and try to extract if i die idc
But it comes at a high risk.
i dont recommend any new player to go for techstores
I mean it isn't
they'll die and be demotivated
But ok
dude i barely run into anyone at techlight
if anyone he is retarded and doesnt have ears
litteraly doesnt hear me running escalators.
Kiba's good when you survive, but i usually die
Any PvP I've ever found at Interchange has been in Oli or IDEA
idk I always end up fighting a shit ton of players below the staircase of techlight
Time of day, raid time, servers... They all have an impact on your experience as well.
And once in the middle of the store on the top floor
good morning everyone (10 am for me ) how are the servers holding up today?
what rommel said is exactly true.. its rare to run into players early sever.
i went interchange scav once and spawned with labs keycard and 332 key
Someone has some wep build " cheap/average " guns for running raids something before M4 that i can take a look for ?
How do you know if it's early ingame?
What bazzles me is that everyone here says yeah go techlight go techlight. litterly anyone knows techstores are good in interchange so everyone runs it. So how the f do you never see anyone
if there is 39 mins when u first join its a fresh session..
it's just a mystery to me
Because most people are slow AF
dude ive not seen anyone there today
alot of ppl hit up stores then go to tech store
ESPECIALLY new players
Can you even get in when it's less then 35 mins? as a pmc
that looks sexy af, the adar how much does it cost ?
u have to be fast asf
i started on caches
it could be that I go techlight for other reasons
@split vapor I see you build guns like I do π
im there for pvp, so I just rush it and stay
now moving to interchange
and I always end up seeing a shit ton of players
caches on customs?
over the course of 20mins
everytime I look at chat I see both of your Pfp @bold kernel and @trim herald and it looks like a story π
anyone wanna run? new to tarkov
where can i find the train extraction on interchange? Im on some long bridge
going to tech stores shouldnt take more than 3 mins if it does ur gonna run into players probably.
serious question how do i stop dying? I'll spwn with only aa pistol and kill a scav or two, loot a bit, head towards extract and get killed in one shot from somebody i didn't see. is there a method to moving without being seen?
Anyone having this error
just bought 51 cheeses 
My game says its not purchased and also Im trying to buy it again and it wont let me
@naive lion u pulled an aqua
I run through cheeses so damn quickly xd
upgrade to ifaks and salewa and car
stop using cheese
lol
unless ur broke then thats a different case...
rip the lucky scav junkbox dream
not really
not sure but i would never use it.
you need cheese + bandages
I use grizzly for out of raid healing.
ifek = bandage, cheese ?
salewa/car kits are most efficient
Ifaks in raid
thoughts on surgery kits vs CMS?
I just upgraded to EOD. Do i have to wait for it to sync because i started tarkov and its still acting as if i have standard edition
most effecient ..
@timber night 1) #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to unlock the discord, 2) #sherpa-info if you'd like to request a sherpa. Your question is far too complex for a simple answer besides: play a lot more
Didn't say it was more efficent, i asked if it was
No
Yes?
?
no?
MAYBE?
#idontdomaths
??
possibly???
@bold kernel pull up your calculator and do your own math on car kits / grizzly and cheese
and then see for yourself whether cheese is efficient or not
IFAK is mot effiecient when it come to usage to space and being able to do multiple things, like bandage and heal.
you did
if i buy my buddie a red rebel and bring it in raid can he equip it and keep it safe?
I just upgraded to EOD. Do i have to wait for it to sync because i started tarkov and its still acting as if i have standard edition
? are you for real?
@hidden meteor i dont use EQ myself
so its off?
yes
Please show where i said that cheese is most efficent
With?
like me running and jumping is so loud my ears hurt
so what meds should you bring to a raid that is most effiecent
with headsets or?
headsets yeh
i dont have the problem as much but i do have to say
i just bought an artics 5
i had to get used to headsets (sordins)
the walking and bush sound still is kinda too loud for me but idk
its not even that
it doesnt bother me too much
whats ur volume at?
I dont have artics though
I use HD600 with jds atom
so idk what my volume is at really, i adjust it with the jds
what does that do
can anyone help me try to get started in this game lost all my loot and cash
it's a headphone amplifier, because hd600 is high ohm
otherwise my volume would be too low
I cba with gaming headsets anymore
How to turn off flashlight, when gun has 2 flashlights?
the sound quality is garbage to me
@bright bronze you need to put it off
they need to be both on or off
otherwise it's not possible
you can't individually put one off or on
if they're both attached to the gun
omfg
What sight has just the single dot?
a few
pk-06
mrs, pilad
it's just that pk-06 dot doesn't move as much
compared to mrs or pilad
and there's a few others, but not worth mentioning imo
I use the Micro t-1 and the romeo on some of my builds. They are not horrible.
SRS is a single dot, overpriced for what it is though.
Thanks. I think it was the pk-06 i was thinking of
hayo lads, should I keep or sell flash drives?
Thank y'all
can you request a sherpa faster now through discord or can you only do it with the website?
@marsh herald There is a jaeger task where you need 3-4 flash drives, found in raid. So keep some for that, sell the rest.
3 found in raid
when do I unlock jaeger? im only lvl8 atm 
I thought three, just been a little and was not 100%.
and no harm in keeping an extra π
@split vapor Anywhere i can get that Adar build by parts ?
yeah I will thanks, was about to sell 'em
is the server wipe gonna wipe EVERYTHING? money , sets, hideout progress
Stinky if you find the flash drives before you started the quest, will it still count towards it?
@bold kernel Yes
Even if you sell it?
JHust liek you can craft them in your hideout nad they will count.
You need to hand them over, do not sell them.
I can just buy them from flea again when i need them
I believe he will only accept the item if the item itself was found in raid.
i need help figuring this game out lol
Ok, ty
Buying them works for one of the tasks, but not for the Jaeger task
dont we all, graham
The tasks are so anoying, gotta learn all the maps :/
@flat cipher wanna play?
yeah fuck it why not
is there any way i can upgrade my secure container? have 80 hours in game now and my alpha aint cutting it anymore
besides buying EoD
Punisher task line will get you an epsilon (2x4) container.
Honestly I dont regret buying EoD
no way to buy them on the flea?
the dlc is gonna be so worth buying this now
Ahoy
and i dont think ive ever seen those containers being sold on the market
Containers can not be sold or even given away anymore
alright thank you
@proper junco you could have hit a low health limb to black it out
And done 3 damage lol?
I'm almost positive that excess damage done to a limb, which turns black, is distributed across body
No clue, most likely is screwed up post raid screen.
It is pretty well accepted that it is not accurate.
Although I have not hard anything official
@proper junco prob a bug
Gotcha, ty
even penn'ing objects it'll reduce damage
but never to 3 i dont think
so i think it's just a bug in end-screen
if i wanna get to lvl 20 quickly what map should i run and what should i do
currently lvl 17
Labs is the fastest way to get experience. But only for experienced labs players.
Foth erest of us plebs, just work on tasks
for the fishing gear quest, can I place the SV-98 from my second weapon slot when pressing the interact key? Or it has to be in my backpack?
weapon slot
how much does a full metal gas tank go for
its hard to tell on flea cause half of these are empty
HEy are there any sherpas around to help? Or do sherpas contact me or what happens lol
jagers sells for 52k
how do you unlock jager
Guys, are npc scavs able to "detect" laser ?
Complete tasks from Prapor and Therapist and that will open up other tasks
kk ty
@bold kernel first skier task is at level 5
which trader do u guys think i should focus on first?
All of them
jsut do tasks as you can.
hm... what about most useful?
They are all important
okay u win i give up
The one you can do easiest, followed by the one that unlocks the most other tasks.
ill just close my eyes and pick
hey - i am new to the game, just got to level 5 recently and i'm currently trying to complete therapist task for salewas...
I've basically just been raiding the heck out of customs to learn the map and I've started to get a good understanding, but I'm having trouble finding salewas.
what happend to the flea market ?
buy them from flee market is what i did @peak dirge
whats the point of fence
how tf does he work
i dont get it
Fence was flea market before flea
@bold kernel hm, yeah I was thinking about doing that last night.. do you think that's the best way?
def
fance buys almost anything, and sells it back for high prices
He's irrelevant now
why's he still around then?
@peak dirge as long as the task doesn't specifically say "find in raid" you can source the items from wherever, like the flea market.
All there is to him.
god i cant believe living without flea..
@timber dock ahhh okay then! thanks @bold kernel
Fence is still a good way to get rid of useless items.
how do you unlock the auction function?
Game was better before flea, imo...
Game was harder before flea π
well i guess i cant speak for myself.. ive never played that stage of the game
tasks were harder, things like gunsmith you had to find the gun parts.
haad to find keys.
Now, it is all about money for most tasks.
why does everyone want alyonkas for salewas?
what map should i be on to find morphines for thera quest? and where do i find them
Supposedly it's sweats that try to scam newbies into giving them valuable Alyonkas @peak dirge
I dont want to go back to times when i need to find 2 flash drives for skier without the flea market
@peak dirge two Alyonkas can make a sugar
hey guys, im new to the game and im looking for someone to help me with the factory part of delivery from the past
is this the best place to look for help?
So, should i trade alyonkas for salewas?
Absolutely not. Alyonkas are more valuable
fuck
Rule of thumb, when using flea market, be sure to remove barter offers in the filter options
gahhhh
for signal pt.3, do I have to place the jammers in the same game or, like, can I put 1 and then extract?
well, i only traded one... i still have another alyonka... dang it
Assuming you're new, like me, you won't be needing the Alyonkas any time soon anyway. There's something you upgrade in the hideout that lets you refine 2 Alyonka into a pack of sugar.
okay cool.
Yeah, I'm just holding onto any Alyonka that I come across until i get to that part of the hideout process
i've been holding onto a ton of things cuz i have no idea what's worth. lol
Someone can throw in some Adar builds that are nothing too extreme ? Thanks
@sullen kindle For me, building guns and experimenting is half this game.
when it comes to the quest where u have to leave the SV-98 at that spot with the tool, if i have the sv98 in my weapon slot can i place it?
Building guns and stowing them away in weapon cases to gawk at, while only doing pistol runs for me, tyvm*
dont wanna risk a big backpack..
@sullen kindle how much modding do you need what are ya looking for?
@bold kernel yes
@tiny sapphire Since i like the way of the Adar i was thinking of giving it a bit of a boost, something like around 70k maybe ?
Thanks i'll check it out !
Danke
whats the value of "door key"?
Check it on flea market
How do I remember all the freaking ammo types in this game. Like there are 4 different types of BP lol. It's so confusing
I can't access the flea market... in game
!wiki ballistics
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

So wait till lvl 5 so youre able 2 π
rip, just waited 15 min for factory, was switching my gun to auto and got 1 tapped
...
@slow basin Don't need to remember all of them. Just a couple important calibers.
5.56 XXXA1 or M995
7.62x39 B something....
Reality is the rest of the calibers don't matter as much.
currently takes min. 10 mins to find a match and join. is this normal?
its embarrassing
as a complete newbie (0 raids experience), is it ok to start with interchange?
I suggest interchange to new players all the time.
Do scavs regen while you don't have the game open?
If ya dont wanna bother too much with ballistics just take the red pilled approach of AKM with PS rounds, it will kill most things that are armored
@late sparrow First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesnβt 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 doesnβt work can PM the contact moderator bot for help. #pvp-lfg

There are safe low risk, medium loot runs to go through. There are also high risk, high loot runs.
@celest condor Everytime I want to create a load out for a raid I always have to google what ammo to use. Is there an easier way to find out?
@slow basin They will come eventually. When I started I had to google every task, I used maps, I had to make notes on maps, etc...
Eventualy you use less aids.
Do you guys always have a Survival Kit in your gamma?
@karmic meadow I do, yes.
Then how about when you're in a team
@slow basin Once you're able to access the flea market at level 5, you can right-click a gun or magazine, select "Linked search" and it will pull up all ammo compatible with your weapon
do you carry onefor the team?
@slow basin look it up once and make a notepad or buy 1 bulle tof the type you wan to remember and just leave it in your inventory
My standard gamma load
@slow basin this chart helps me a lot
Okay, thanks
You wanna be able to pen level 4 for the most part
Just for reinforcement, Im a new player and wanna give a vote to @waxen forge approach. Learn the customs map offline, and then run it with skavs. And use your scav on Interchange (loot is better to get and get out.) I am still struggling with this but it is much more productive than trying to run your PMC and dying as a newbie. I am getting into more productive gunbattles, and doing better with healing and looting mechanics.
i have a Zhuk-3 with 7.6/50... should i just toss this thing?
whats a good way to level strength
Any tips to getting mechanic to LL2?
thanks, that seems like a good advice.
@young kettle I'm assuming the higher the class the better? or farther to the right the better?
The higher up it is the more armor penetration it has. You see class 1-6 on the left? Whatever area itβs in is the max armor it can penetrate.
Then the farther to the right, the more flesh damage it does. Armor penetration is much more important, the flesh damage is mostly to see you if you can 1 tap chest or not @slow basin
if i quit at matching will my equipment be lost?
i find matching in a group to be very fast while solo it takes 5+ minutes
If you back out while still matching you keep your stuff
so just invite someone in the lobby and when it puts you in the group start the game fast.. you find a match a lot faster
@young kettle Okay thank you
Np! Ammo is hella confusing at first but itβs SO important. That chart helped me a lot and also the wiki
!ammo
@young kettle Can you send that to me pls I've been looking for that
i'm using a t-5000 with AP ammo... takes few shots to the body to kill someone with low level armor it's so stupid
@bold kernel its not the armor pen that kills a person, its the flesh damge
just tested inviting someone in a group then starting, it found a match in 1.5 minutes unlike 5+ while going in solo
If you have separate attachments on your weapon for a flashlight and a laser, how do you toggle between the two, without activating them both at the same time
Hey, for "fishing gear" Peacekeeper quest, do I have to place both SV-98 and Tool in the same game and survive? Or can I put one of them in different games, and survive in also a different game?
Can you change your faction on wipe?
Yeah @copper geyser
Cool
anyone available to watch me play and throw tips at me?
i dont know if i need a sherpa for that
@nocturne flax You can't/ T works on all tactical devices at the same time
Good to know. Thanks
Ctrl+T will cycle between light and loser
@bold kernel you can stash them separately
ty
@young kettle Close. Ctrl-T toggles modes on yoru tactical devices. Most commonly laser/flashlight But the PEQ have an IT flashlight. Believe some lights have two modes to the light.
what are the attacments i need to buy to get the front grip to be on the side
@sleek heath awesome, I'm gonna hatchet the tool and the jammers for the quests then and then go in with equip to place sv-98 and kill people if they interfere while wearing balaclava and scav vest for the other quest
I've just downloaded the game and has no idea how to start
okay thanks, can be put on ak-47?
@celest condor Can be put on anything with a rail for a foregrip. So yes, but you need a compatible handguard
oops, Meant for Courtsy
okay do i need a side mount for it or can i literally just buy those 2 and add it on
That was not the cheapest, but close to it.
is a military base key good?
It's needed for a task
costs 180k
If you mean Military checkpoint
for the scav area i think
its needed for a pointless task that you dont need to do
and its not like its a not common key
i swear everytime i kill a high level player and get insane loot i get killed at the most random spot on my way to extract
https://gyazo.com/3a2765e848dcb8db448d1ed2075280a6 Do i need to hide the stuff again, or just join as a hatchling and run straight to the extract?
You need to survive
oh shit i didnt notice that survive part
Do not need to hide again but can't get a run though
fuck i gotta go back into shoreline
all them say survive and exit but not all need a survuve stat
like 90% work with a run through
just skill a scav or two
?
what is the key to KIBA Outlet grate door and is it good
that will gain you the 300 xp for the survive stat
On the BP Depot quest, if I die while questing, do I get to ask for the markers again? 
so i should juss sell kiba 2?
noted
Shoot wdym? can you join and run straight to the exit or not?
you only lose a beacon if you ahve it planted and die during the count down
@pastel thicket Kiba is a store in Interchange. Has guns and mods in it. Can make a lto of money in there or can be a total bust. Also a dangerous store to loot.
Needs two keys to get in
can you show me where it is
@split vapor So if I plant it, then die, but it was succesfully planted I don't lose it?
yeah youre good, hit up the next one
Speaking of keys, is there a breakdown of all the keys that are useful and should be kept somewhere?
am I supposed to do it in a single run
no

what can i do with ram?
sell it
interchange is only worth as a scav on night or being a pmc and doing night boogaloo shit on the woods
@pastel thicket Shows stores and their names.
i do, takes about 7 minutes to go into a lobby
Is a Mosin a good gun to bring to customs?
even with no sight?
yea
