Tarkov servers have been overloaded the last couple weeks due to the massive influx of players due to twitch popularity. BSG is actively working on installing more servers as we speak, have patience and the game will go back to 1-3mins of matching queue time. They are extremely uncomfortable/overwhelmed at the moment with the mass influx of players , this game wasnt meant to handle that yet. You can keep up with their updates via #eft-announcements and Twitter. If you are matching for more than 10mins it's either the server or a matching bug, back out and try again or try another map. Make sure your servers are on autoselct within client or select a lot more servers in client. You will also experience trouble with bugs in stash and fleamarket cause of server stress, this stuff happens in a beta.
@waxen forge hows that
Too much?

with my standard I can't container much stuff

its 2x1, you should be able to
yeah but if I take that I can't put like the doc case or the surgery kit
or other stuff
so I'll just hatchet and find one and be done with it
steady pilot
Most important item would probably be a pain killer and ifak
steady pilot
You don't need docs case for interchange
Take a verpkm instead it's more reliable for 13k

I always bring a doc case to store keys in in case I find marked keys or something

So what is this error about? This Json error

anyone know of a good interchange map online other than the one in the wiki / are there only two extracts on interchange anyway?
bold kernel
@bold kernel that profile pic is 👌
waxen forge
Yes only 2
steady pilot
@soft rain 3 extracts.
bold kernel
@waxen forge Yeah..not just the game it's also the launcher I would check files and stuff but can't even do that as everytime i load my launcher up, it says that error
oh also question; for the "kill pmcs in scav vest and balaclava" can I wear armor under the vest?
steady pilot
Emercom, railway, and vehicle exit

Ofc lol

also another question, do scav bosses and their homies attack player scavs on sight?

so I need to kill PMCs in shoreline, and I wanted to gear up a little bit to help me; I have the slow t6 armor given me by prapor, and was thinking about an helmet to compliment it, any suggestions?

Nothing will help you that much. If you want to be a unaware tank you can use altyn

whats a good helmet with faceshield that can also use headphones?
not necessarily lv6

Pretty much only fast mt or airframe

ive been trying to figure out how to loot better as a scav as well, i dont have those crazy 1mil runs like everyone talks about. Interchange is always empty by the time i spawn as a scav lol

i had a shotgun aimed to the back of this mans head
he turned around and one tapped me

Customs

I might sherpa again tonight
waxen forge
First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn’t matter how much or how well you do in other shooters. This is a knowledge game. You will die and die due to lack of experience not gear. Experience. It will require persistence and commitment. You need to learn maps, scav behavior, PMC behavior, what is good vs. bad ammo. Practice OFFLINE mode, with scavs on, at Customs. Try to make it from spawn to exit 10 times. IF you can do this 50% of the time then you are ready for online. Meanwhile use your scav at Interchange to get loot and learn the map.
Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesn’t work can PM the contact moderator bot for help. #pvp-lfg

Upgrade Workbench in Hideout. Then go to flea and examine every weapon and weapon part. That will give you full functionality of the EDIT PRESET function. You can swap parts in and out at will and the parts do not need to be in stash to use this feature as this is a “virtual build.” If you like what you made you can “save” it with a custom name and it will allow you to buy all the parts with the Assemble puzzle piece.

As a Scav, you are suppose to be alive/extract after the raid time finishes?

you need to extract before timer runs out yes.

Run through happens when you only got less than 300 xp

Run through does literally nothing
Besides 0.5 your xp gain
And scavs don't get xp
woven sequoia
Ohh. Okay.
woven sequoia
Ah
proper junco
But for what purpose?
woven sequoia
Is it because I didn't kill or was able to find anyone to kill?

U don’t need to kill

Kills give something like 100 xp, not including headshot / killstreak, etc

Just looting or exploring

So Scavs just give little xp in general

Didnt they say march. But everyone knows that when battlestate says wipe they really mean like 9 months from now

And they dont wipe from new players. They wipe to test new features

instead of making it sooner
I thought I read something about it being bc of new players

why would they wipe now
if they are going to change main gameplay stuff?

Yea but then they changed it because they are adding new shit
They don't owe us shit. They wipe when they want to lol
left vapor
true
spark marsh
The wipe does not protect you from geared people. It does not do anything except rape the customs servers as everyone busts in for tasks.
Plus then everyone camps objectives for ez loot
untold tinsel
I dont really WANT a wipe, I'm just dirt poor atm and was just wondering if i should prepare for a long wait or not is all
spark marsh
"For newer players" dude. Wipes are a fucking slaughter

thats a pretty normal wipe gap

It's not equal, though.

except for EoD of course :^)

Lmao once u hit lvl 5 anyway the gap means nothing since u can buy anything anyway

I mean, experienced people will slaughter newer players even with equivalent gear.

Being broke isnt an excuse. Just learn money runs and play ur scavs if your broke

eh, tarkov is so easy you literally doesnt need to do quests or anything
after labs and reserve you can get 10m in 1 week
or even more if you have the time, so
spark marsh
I bring like 2 mill worth of gear for new players, have them lose it all, then do like 4 reserve runs and im back to normal lol
If anything, i like later wipe when people are running heavy, means more profits per kill
