beginners-assistance

[sand needle]

yeah i appriciate the external download but im good

[worldly cargo]

just started really playing tarkov and been doing more scav runs than pmc runs just to get weapons and feels like all i see in the community is negativity about playing scav

[sand needle]

again i can play multiple games at the same time normally

thats why im having a hard time here

even the two shittiest games played at the same time can replicate problems of better games

[clever tapir]

@worldly cargo negativity from where

[atomic knoll]

So you experience stuttering on just 1 monitor?

[sand needle]

only one

and its my primary

[atomic knoll]

Did you try switching?

[sand needle]

the best in slot

[atomic knoll]

Just to test it out

[sand needle]

nah because it runs slower

[atomic knoll]

Try it out first

[sand needle]

i used to use it at the start

till i realized it was the wrong one

[mossy jungle]

Wait do you have animations or stuff like discord on your secondary monitor?

[sand needle]

and it actually causes me to be delayed in game

[worldly cargo]

@clever tapir posts on reddit and a few streams ive watched that consider themselves "noob friendly"

[sand needle]

my visuals are delayed if i use it

[atomic knoll]

Just remove your current primary monitor from your setup

[sand needle]

my second is shit though?

[clever tapir]

@worldly cargo nah scav runs are just free loot dw about them

[atomic knoll]

Use your secondary, go in to an offline raid on factory with horde SCAV

see if you still experience stuttering

[sand needle]

only happens online

[atomic knoll]

Well then you gotta do what you gotta do lol

[sand needle]

i don't experience this in private match

[rigid hare]

@worldly cargo yea nothing wrong with running scavy bois!

[mossy jungle]

Wait how often is this stutter kontrol?

[atomic knoll]

Is it just a random short freeze?

[sand needle]

when i run, its like swiss cheese

period

when i stop and turn

its smooth

[worldly cargo]

@clever tapir yea i have only done 3 scav runs because i only had pistols on my pmc and not a lot of money

[sand needle]

only when real players are nearby

scavs don't cause it

[atomic knoll]

Ok that's pretty normal

That happens to me too

[rigid hare]

It kinda sorta sounds like a gpu issue, could still be anything though so no telling.

[atomic knoll]

That's a server side issue

Several people I've spoken too have this issue too

[dusty yew]

Hello, quick question:

**If I play Offline, agaisnt PVE Scavs, in case I use Water, Vendages, or I lose ammo in shooting, after the game, I recover it all again? **

Thanks!

[sand needle]

its getting to the point that i cannot play a real game

ive been reduced to a hatchling

cause even witha pistol the game is too choppy in fights to be consistant

[atomic knoll]

Usually, the freeze is about 1-2 secs right?

[sand needle]

well

[rigid hare]

@dusty yew Correct, it'll be like you never even ran the offline raid when you get out. You keep everything.

[clever tapir]

@worldly cargo I run scav because I'm still trying to get better with knowing maps and don't wanna waste pmc stuff if I'm just gonna die because I can't find extracts

[sand needle]

yes

but if were both running together

[rigid hare]

Everything you brought in, that is.

[sand needle]

can be pretty fucking bad

[atomic knoll]

Let me get this straight, a freeze right? Not stuttering?

Cause they are different

[dusty yew]

@rigid hare Right. Thank you so much.

[rigid hare]

np!

[sand needle]

i call it stuttering

[dusty yew]

So, Offline PVE is the best for practising using items, aiming, and stuff, because you lose nothing.

[sand needle]

i don't know the difference im sorry

[dusty yew]

Right?

[clever tapir]

@dusty yew correct

[mossy jungle]

what he's describing is not the scav sync load in freeze

[dusty yew]

@clever tapir Thank you

[rigid hare]

@dusty yew Correct, you gain nothing, but lose nothing.

[dusty yew]

Thank you all !

[atomic knoll]

Scav load in freeze?

[cloud glacier]

@rigid hare he gains experience 😉

[atomic knoll]

No idea what's that

[rigid hare]

baha, true

[worldly cargo]

@clever tapir same i killed 2 players and didnt know where to extract so just ended up MIA and not getting the loot

[atomic knoll]

Basically,

stutter = game feels laggy
Freeze = game literally stops moving

[sand needle]

ok that same freeze or stutter im talking about, is happening in my menu as well

[mossy jungle]

People who get a random freeze even tho they always have perfect fps etc etc good pcs, its usually because the server will freeze up when a scav syncs into the raid

[sand needle]

if that helps

[atomic knoll]

Yeah that makes sense

@sand needle Should not freeze in the main menu unless you have just exited a game

[sand needle]

but hasn't happened in a month until yesterday

settings

[atomic knoll]

New players I guess

[sand needle]

thats where it happens

[atomic knoll]

Server is under stress

[sand needle]

entering and exiting settings

but if i exit and reload the game, its fine for a match or two

[clever tapir]

Shroud was saying he doesn't think the servers are that stressed, but rather some script kiddie is testing his shit on tarkov

[atomic knoll]

The freezes are pretty random

[sand needle]

im really not trying to be fucking dickish or anything im just fucking lost

[rigid hare]

Understandable

[atomic knoll]

@sand needle Just know that you are not alone experiencing it

[sand needle]

ive never experienced this when doing duos or trios or even 5s and playing except, like 1ce a match or something, but my matches are being loaded with hatchets and im running and its choppy as hell, the moment im next to a player, its like watching the matrix

[clever tapir]

@sand needle I suggest turning off all but mandatory startup programs, restarting pc, then launch game

[sand needle]

tartup programs

[clever tapir]

Also you're running discord with the game rn

Did you turn off gpu acceleration for discord

[sand needle]

sorry

wrong pic

hold on

[split vapor]

Low settings is asking for low fps

[bronze ice]

@split vapor How so?

[sand needle]

thats the dumbest thing ive ever heeard

[split vapor]

Cpu rendering over gpu rendering

[sand needle]

and i just mispelled heard

[clever tapir]

Idk if tarkov is similar but GPU accel for discord destroys some of my games

[raven pier]

bottlenecking

[bronze ice]

[clever tapir]

@split vapor that is actually true to a certain extent

[sand needle]

fortnite is proof you don't know what you are talkinga bout @split vapor

[clever tapir]

@sand needle it is true

[sand needle]

no it isnt

[clever tapir]

Turn up textures a little

[sand needle]

because with high settings in some games you can't get fps

but with low, you max

[split vapor]

Well everyone here has at least some respect and doesn’t play fortnut

[clever tapir]

I need to run rust at max textures and stuff in order for it to actually run

[rigid hare]

All games aren't created equally, basically. Can't really compare things like that imo.

[bronze ice]

It's not, I think what he's referring to is that playing with reduced texture resolution taxes your CPU

[sand needle]

but saying that you are asking for it is blanketly saying that every game says low settings give low fps

[bronze ice]

but CPU isn't rendering the view

[mossy jungle]

Some games will swap rendering from gpu to cpu at lower settings, some won't. Game engines are different so theres no need to get hostile @sand needle

[clever tapir]

It's worth a try

[split vapor]

Also this is begin assistance not pc flex

[sand needle]

you just made a blanket statement

and im saying it wasnt true

even if it is for tarkov

[clever tapir]

It could be true

[sand needle]

for a situation

but not for a blanketed statement

[clever tapir]

It's worth a try then

[sand needle]

which is what was made

[bronze ice]

I give up on convos so often in this chat lately 😦

[mossy jungle]

it's a tarkov discord tho lol

like what are you expecting, discussions about league of legends?

[sand needle]

my settings were maxed first @clever tapir

as i said before

the guy who got me to play

told me what to change visually

to fix my initial problems

and they were fixed for a month

[clever tapir]

Well all settings maxed isn't good for fps

[sand needle]

exactly

which mine are not

[clever tapir]

But I'm gonna try to turn up my textures to see if it does something

Because it could and I'm willing to try it

[sand needle]

im using the same settings as dr lupo

hes not having the issue

[clever tapir]

Diff settings work for diff rigs sometimes

[sand needle]

so that statement doesn't apply

no lol

[cloud glacier]

@sand needle well given as neither you or your friend or whoever checked your physical stuff recently do not know what is happening - I would not shoot people down when they try to help you with limited knowledge they have of what you have or could have done. Unless you just want to ask questions into vacuum eventually

[sand needle]

i shot one person down

who literally said that all of you

were wrong

[bold kernel]

lol laser sights are very exposing

[sand needle]

when i accidently re showed my settings you asked me for

they are right

i know they are

[bold kernel]

i just avoided death in reserve there was camper who had laser sight aiming at doorway

[atomic knoll]

The game is built using unity engine right?

[sand needle]

yeah

[rigid hare]

This is getting way off track lol - you already said your ram is maxing out (unless i missed something), your problem likely lies there.

[sweet lantern]

is there any 3d map of labs or any labs map for underground, i wanna go labs but barely know extractions

[atomic knoll]

@rigid hare No it's not. He checked the wrong place

[rigid hare]

Ahh ok, so i missed something lol

[atomic knoll]

The game was using about 50% of his RAM

[sand needle]

hence why i was listening to no

[rigid hare]

gotcha, mb

[sand needle]

and why this is all going way off track

[atomic knoll]

It is

[fresh umbra]

Boys help. There is an AK handguard that has like a wooden foregrip built into it, how is it called I want to use that thing ?

[sand needle]

i was trying to screenshot my startup processes

and this shit happened

which is pointless

[atomic cargo]

Not even worth using almighty

[fresh umbra]

@atomic cargo Did I ask you if its worth it ? Just tell me the name or dont man wth

[rigid hare]

@fresh umbra i believe you're looking for the CAF WASR 10-63

[atomic cargo]

Right click the part that it’s attaching to press linked search and it’ll show you all the parts including that one that you’re looking for

[fresh umbra]

@rigid hare thanks man !

I dont know the weapon its used for nor do I have thats why I needed help, apreciate it boyz cheers

[rigid hare]

@fresh umbra Np! And what Anzu said, for easy reference, right click the gun and do a linked search on the flea market. You can then filter through different attachments on the left side to fairly quickly find stuff like this.

[fresh umbra]

I know that, I wanted to use it because its a romanian design

Im romanian soo yeah :)

[rigid hare]

I gotcha, enjoy! lol

[fresh umbra]

:))

[gloomy fulcrum]

if i wanna buye scape from tarkov i only have the option to pre order? does this still mean i can play the game?

[clever tapir]

yep

[gloomy fulcrum]

that was fast XD

[clever tapir]

it says beta access

[gloomy fulcrum]

thanks alot!

[raven pier]

Its written there

[gloomy fulcrum]

oh ive overlooked it then

[clever tapir]

np

[mossy jungle]

An apple a day quest turned up after turning in the blood sample, could accept the quest tho, got error 704 quest not found, restarted game, now i can't see it 🤔 anybody got a clue as to why?

[rigid hare]

@mossy jungle not sure on that one, sry.

[mossy jungle]

yeah pretty wierd, dont see any other requirements on the wiki either so i guess i might just be fucked out of the quest i suppose 😄

[cloud glacier]

@mossy jungle report it to battlestate using game launcher

[mossy jungle]

yea ofc

[gloomy fulcrum]

erhm why doesnt the game install on the launcher when i click install

[clever tapir]

Wdym it doesn't install

[gloomy fulcrum]

Okay i restarted my pc and now it does install

Pc masterrace sometimes😂

[fickle kettle]

@clever tapir greeting

[normal cairn]

Hey, anyone know how to make the gun building preset thingy work. Ive put together a weapon, go to buy parts but it shows all unavailable, which is clearly BS

[rigid hare]

@normal cairn i believe by default it filters by traders - make sure you change that if needed.

[normal cairn]

you are the man!!

thankyou Ekimup

[rigid hare]

anytime!

[tough kite]

Apparently you can't stack Icases into Icases?
Is that true?

[cloud glacier]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Items_case

[naive lion]

quick question

can you jump on a grenade so your friends don't take damage from it

[mint hawk]

@naive lion if you both want to die yeah

[cloud glacier]

@naive lion think so? I believe the fragments are fully modeled and check for hitboxes properly. I'm not sure about how the explosion itself works tho

[mint hawk]

Rather take a few steps back and just go prone

[west tide]

anyone know how to fix?

[naive lion]

what part of "your friends don't take damage"

do you not get :(

I'm just asking cause I've been in situations where there is no way to run

[mint hawk]

Well technically it shoots out a set of fragments.. If you absorb the fragments.. They won't reach your friend

[naive lion]

thanks

I didn't know that it actually models fragments

[frank current]

servers down again?

[tiny laurel]

I've a seen a vid where a dude throws a rgd5 by mistake and goes in front of his friend to absorb damage for him, no clue if it actually worked but the guy tried

[junior yacht]

does spawning in as a scav with 2 minutes happen all the time?

i legit had to make my way towards extraction once i spawned

[slim quest]

It’s due to the recent time changes from what I understand

They lowered raid times but I guess scav spawn times didn’t get adjusted

[hearty sky]

does it matter what level of dogtags i turn in for a task or it has to be certain lvl?

[mint hawk]

@junior yacht Map?

[sweet lantern]

whats that one laser sight thats just a red circle instead of a dot

[mint hawk]

@hearty sky shouldn't matter unless otherwise stated

Any way to see how much exp youve earned so far in-raid? trying to avoid run trough on this quest...

[mint hawk]

@mossy jungle like 800

[mossy jungle]

Yeah, but is there a way to track roughly how much youved gained so far while in the raid?

[sweet lantern]

so do you know what it is?

[sweet birch]

any groups going?

[minor mural]

@peak zenith i also need that mission

[junior yacht]

@mint hawk factory

its probably the shortest raid ive ever been in

[mint hawk]

@junior yacht pmc runs are at 20 mins.. Factory can spawn you in 2-12 mins remaining

[junior yacht]

ahh thats why

[gloomy fulcrum]

are there any guides on the best way to start?

[mint hawk]

@gloomy fulcrum probably 1000s if you Google it.. Don't have a preferred one though

[odd raptor]

Best way to start is probably offline to get a feel of the game

[bold kernel]

I cannot find that one on the flea market :C

[craggy ibex]

Why are my scav runs going so well but in my PMC runs i die after like 4 minutes

[minor mural]

@craggy ibex same here. if only the xp carried over

[craggy ibex]

that would be so nice xD

[mint hawk]

@craggy ibex coz you play the start without taking into account the other pmc spawns

[grizzled fjord]

Also not being shot on sight by AI scavs

[craggy ibex]

I've seen like 3 AI scavs today so that would not be the problem xD

but keepa is right i don't think about the other people

[cloud glacier]

@craggy ibex You spawn with other PMC - and it is WAY easier to meet them -> thus dying more

[clear stag]

Why can I infinitely chamber a full mosin, wasting a bullet?

[waxen forge]

@craggy ibex Also on a scav run you have 1/2 the number of enemies. Scavs are friendly so you only have to worry about PMC and the number of possibly hostile player scavs.

Lastly you are less nervous as a scav so you don't have the anxiety factor (as much).

It is the way it is @clear stag Can fill mag in stash with 1 in chamber but in raid it won't do this.

[atomic jewel]

@clear stag 6 bullets, one in the chamber, 5 in the magazine?

[clear stag]

@atomic jewel full mag, one in chamber, and then press R to put one in chamber over and over again while the previous bullet in there just disappears into the void

[atomic jewel]

Huh, cheap sniper skill

[honest tusk]

Its a bug im pretty sure

[vocal cipher]

who has question

i answer yes

[clear stag]

@vocal cipher Do you love me?

[vocal cipher]

whomst are thou

[clear stag]

... I thought you gonna answer yes ;~;

[vocal cipher]

[clear stag]

😭

[trim herald]

@clear stag It doesn't disappear?

It jumps out and falls on the ground

You can pick it up if you want

[waxen forge]

It ejects the round from the chamber as you pull the bolt back to reload

[trim herald]

And you'll have 4 in the mag, 1 in the chamber

It's the design of bolt actions

[slow quail]

anyone know what i should throw away

[waxen forge]

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png

Task items ^

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JKzVRr6Ky8QO559YmTNgs5UbWMm3cfI2gO68XVTr3gc/htmlview?sle=true#gid=1575522893

Hideout items ^

If your stuff is on that list then you can choose to keep it and turn it in for the task or you can sell it and have to find it later.

[clear stag]

oh, never noticed that

[waxen forge]

However looking at your pic Get rid of the boxes of PRS ammo (empty and discard the box and sell it to mechanic). The toz mags, the fmj ammo, the emercom hat.

Stack all ammo

Get rid of extra mags. You can keep a few in an empty rig somewhere but never hoard mags. You can always get more and usually they are cheap. Take up way too much room in a stash to keep them.

As a side not don't loot mags unless you are actively using the weapon. UNLESS it's maybe a 60 round 556 or 60 round 5.45x39 mag.

I do not do trades but unless you are planning on doing a trade the AA batteries and Apolo cigs are worthless.

[old sinew]

I am not sure how much to spend on kits, I have about 2 mil

[waxen forge]

There is no real answer to that.

How much depends on what you want to do with it

Biggest tip. Buy the best ammo for the weapon and then spend the rest accordingly on what you want to do

[old sinew]

Ok, thanks

[waxen forge]

So if it's a 5.45x39 AK....buy BS ammo from flea (unless you have Prapor level 4).

Then you can simple mod it and put on a new handguard and grip only...or spend a bit more on a stock.

[clear tapir]

Thank you guys

[waxen forge]

I'd try to pick up maybe an AVS or an economical armored rig vs. ceramic armor.

[slow quail]

which one is fmj and toz mags

[waxen forge]

FMJ just says FMJ on the bullets

Double click anything to open the inspect window

The toz mags are the little short mags near the purple mags

Shotgun shells can stack up to 20

The ak custom mags are terrible too.

[slow quail]

o so sell fmj and fmj mag?

[snow pecan]

Get rid of all of it looks like trash to me

[waxen forge]

There is no FMJ mag.

Mags are for a caliber...the FMJ is a round type within the caliber.

[slow quail]

215 366 holds fmj

[waxen forge]

The AK custom mags are 7.62x39. They are only 10 round mags.

Can find 30 round mags on flea for 7.62x39 and when you level traders can buy from them

[bold kernel]

how long is the longest queue time as a scav for reserve

[vocal cipher]

someone tl;dr

[thick harness]

Is there anyway to get an elcan to mount on this stock? https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Tapco_INTRAFUSE_Stock_for_SKS#Scope

[vocal cipher]

fmj bad anyway

yes red

dovetail adapter

[waxen forge]

@thick harness 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. Use cog wheel in buy parts section to determine if you only buy from traders or include flea offers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nALpGSNeLA Good overview of EDIT PRESET. Skip to 5:02.

[thick harness]

Do you know a part name? Im havng trouble finding it

I have 99% of parts examined

not sure why i cant figure this out 😕

[next kraken]

What part?

[waxen forge]

Off the top of my head no. @trim herald you know?

[thick harness]

Yea ive just been doing linked searches trying every combo i can think of

only mounts i see are specific to red dots/reflexes

i know ive seen guys like summit using actual scopes on sks tho 😕

[next kraken]

Which sks have you got

[vocal cipher]

because the scope doesn't go on the stock

[next kraken]

You need OP SKS for the big boi sights

[trim herald]

What's the question?

[vocal cipher]

it goes on the dovetail adapter for the op sks

[trim herald]

Oh

Can you stick a cobra on it?

I don't use the SKS's

[waxen forge]

Elcan doesn't have a dovetail mount

[trim herald]

But if you can stick a cobra mount on you can Elcan that

[waxen forge]

Yea that would work

[thick harness]

doesnt look like it takes a cobra

[next kraken]

The tapco?

Yeah it fits cobra

[thick harness]

Does it?

I have cobra examined doesnt show up as an option in preset

[next kraken]

Lemme put one on real quick

[thick harness]

I use cobras all the time

[trim herald]

Honestly, you're better off with a VEPR 136

[vocal cipher]

op sks only

[thick harness]

I already have the sks tho

[vocal cipher]

not sks

[night crag]

So im level 20 and i spent enough on peacekeeper to get him to level 3 but my standings are .2 and I need .3 but I have no quests for him, how should I level him up

[trim herald]

It'll take an Elcan on the bastion dust cover

The SKS will sell for more than the VEPR costs 😄

But it's up to you

[next kraken]

Ye cobra ekp fits on the tapco

But only the one without mount

[trim herald]

@night crag Need to do skier quests to unlock him

elcan is horrible tbh, but it'a preference

Imo there is zero reason to use the sks (either variant) over the vepr 136

[vocal cipher]

probably.

[slow quail]

alright i cleaned it up a bit

[grizzled fjord]

Vepr is cheaper, can have bigger mags and is easier to mod

Plus the irons aren't complete ass

[vocal cipher]

sks does take 35 round mags

but yeah, vepr takes 50 rounders

@trim herald damn that fucker wants 6k usd

Regular sks looks like ass too with a sight

[night crag]

is it even worth it..

[next kraken]

[trim herald]

@night crag Yup, there's another quest later from PK that wants 8k USD

Yes!

100%

You'll save way more than that just from being able to buy shit from traders

Never mind quest rewards etc

[wise shore]

Hmm... guys... I was in the extraction of Gate 3 Factory, I ran there, open the doors and closed them behind me as I hear someone come rushing behind too. So I get to the extraction and the timer starts, then this guy just opens the door and somehow is behind me without me seeing him at all while I was aiming at the door? WTH? I call hacks.

[waxen forge]

Report it to BSG via the launcher

[trim herald]

Sounds like desynch

[waxen forge]

Probably

The "hax" have not really been an issue since BattleEye came on board.

[trim herald]

Especially not as it seems to happen to new players exponentially more than veterans 😄

[wise shore]

I shall report it, the weird part is, he got to kill me too

[shadow violet]

I am a beginner, looking for assistance with setting up the game, my performance is REALLY BAD.

My rig should be more than adequate to run the game.

[waxen forge]

#community-support

[shadow violet]

@waxen forge Okay, thanks 🙂

[wise shore]

like... I fully checked the entire gate 3 extraction room, laid down to extract and aimed at the door. Door opens and no one comes through suddenly I get shot from behind

[waxen forge]

Like rommel said it could have been desync. IF it was a hacker they will get caught and banned quickly. Nothing more to do than report and move on.

[shadow violet]

@wise shore May just be me, but I have had similar issues, and, it was caused by network latency resulting in the game client de-syncing from the Tarkov servers.

[wise shore]

ok, I can understand. but was rather weird that he opened the door, no footsteps no nothing but he then shoots me from behind

anyways. Gotta get the gear again xD

[brisk basin]

I was mid recieving my gear from insurence and then I got a error, now everything is gone. What do I do?

[waxen forge]

Exit...restart the game

[trim herald]

Could also be a display bug, if you don't see the gear again it's likely something you've claimed previously

[cloud glacier]

@shadow violet I once got a DC as a SCAV just after spawning.... so i reconnect... and in the meantime the game spawned some other poor SCAV... and as I spawn I look point blank at his back (having a shotty) - poor guy could only think I was cheating there

[tender charm]

what should i spend money on to level peacekeeper LL

[shadow violet]

The game certainly has bugs that need addressing.

Like the loss of items that SHOULD of been stored after being trnasferred from the Insurance screen, but, instead the "Storage/Insurance" screen crashed to the main menu, and, I lost all the stuff from insurnace..... Twice!

We are talking almost 100K of stuff, and as I am brand new to the game (Less than 24 Hour's played in Total). That is a lot of money to me

[cloud glacier]

@shadow violet I only got those problems more than a week ago... after they added some servers recently (plus some stability patches) it all works for me (not counting occasional lag)

[trim herald]

@tender charm $

@shadow violet I doubt you've actually lost items. I'm fairly confident those items had already been claimed by you at an earlier time, that's why the game crashed. The bug was displaying them to you a second time

[shadow violet]

@trim herald Well, Well....... They just happened to MAGICALLY re-appear. Don't be so quick to judge and instantly blame user error, that doesn't help resolve any issues at all, and put simply you are placing all the blame on just a user.

I would know if it was "Stuff I had already claimed". Because I am so new to the game that getting anything back at all is something I constantly take note of.

Please consider that next time it isn't always user error, and that the game does clearly have some flaws that need addressing.

Luckily another user over in the support section has just advised me to log back in and the items should re-appear. And that is indeed the case.

[desert garden]

@shadow violet Like I said, restart and it appears somewhere

[trim herald]

@shadow violet I assumed you had the sense to restart the game, obviously I was mistaken

I'll assume I'm dealing with a 5 year old next time

[shadow violet]

@desert garden Yep 🙂 Took a few restarts, but after 3 attempts it works.

[desert garden]

@trim herald I need a salt shaker for that comment haha

[shadow violet]

@trim herald Why the rudeness?

[trim herald]

I mean I could ask the same thing

[shadow violet]

@trim herald You blamed ME for and error with the game.

[desert garden]

Gear doesn't magically disappear, usually something on the back end vomits and it gets lost in translation, stuffs like a boomerang and it'll always come back

[shadow violet]

This is BEGINNERS assitance.

[trim herald]

I didn't blame you, I explained a common bug

[shadow violet]

You based that claim on an assumption.

[desert garden]

🧂

[shadow violet]

Im off, this community is clearly not a place for BEGINNERS to ask for help, thanks again @desert garden for your assistance in resolving my issue

[trim herald]

Good

Bye Felicia

[flat cipher]

[desert garden]

Hey Harry

What's wrong

[flat cipher]

morning

nothing just confused at rommel

again

[desert garden]

Nothing to be worried about

[trim herald]

Bruh, I'm not going to just accept some guy being a dick when I tried to help him

[flat cipher]

[radiant glen]

I dont have a lot of money, what kinda bullets should I get for a SKS?

[trim herald]

BP honestly

vepr 136 is better and cheaper than a sks too

btw

[desert garden]

PS or BP for SKS r

[trim herald]

BP

😄

[radiant glen]

currently Im using PS, also BP is very very expensive

[clear stag]

@trim herald great, you'll be assuming you're dealing with people half your age then! 😄

[shadow violet]

@trim herald Have a look.

[radiant glen]

and yeah, damn a Vepr is cheap, but the SKS is from when I couldnt access Flea market

[shadow violet]

Clearly user error.

[trim herald]

Yeah before the Flea SKS is best bet with PS

[radiant glen]

well thanks for the info

[trim herald]

@shadow violet Did you even read what I said? Or were you too busy being pissy?

I'm assuming the latter

Also, were you not leaving?

[flat cipher]

[shadow violet]

I did leave, I also returned.

Therefore, I kept my word.

[trim herald]

Unfortunate.

[shadow violet]

It is for you.

[clear stag]

@shadow violet wb bro, hope you have a better stay this time

[shadow violet]

I hope so too.

You know, being a BEGINNER, that is new to the game.

Having someone tell you that you are doing it wrong doesnt instill confidence in a great experience going forwards.

[clear stag]

Yea don't worry bro, rommel is just socially dense

[shadow violet]

I came here to see what help I could receive, lucky I did get help. And so that is one of many issues resolved now which is good

Performance seems to be rocky at the best of times, not sure if that is a resovable issue or not.

[trim herald]

No, I just can't stand cunts

And I don't mind telling them as much

[clear stag]

Anyway just ignore him, not worth the effort bro

[shadow violet]

@trim herald Wow, what a great way to welcoming new people to the community.

Hopefully not everyone is like that.

[flat cipher]

Nah everyone else is fine

[clear stag]

Nah but there is rotten apples in every community, just need to learn to ignore them

[flat cipher]

[shadow violet]

@clear stag You seem to be a reasonable individual

[trim herald]

I'll happily welcome people to the community, but if you're going to be a cunt I don't see why I should

[shadow violet]

Yeah, it is a shame.

[flat cipher]

Just gotta let it slide and ignore it

Ez

[shadow violet]

Well, I haven't yet cussed.
So I am doing pretty well.

[trim herald]

Wow, well done

[shadow violet]

Now, back to the game, is it constantly running like a car with poor clutch control? Stutter, then smooth, then stuttering again?

[trim herald]

If you have a shitty rig, yes

[flat cipher]

What specs are you running

[shadow violet]

Not sure how the game, or Unity engine, handles more modern multi-core, heavily multi-threaded CPU's

[tender charm]

lmao camping emercom is just so easy as a scav, i know it's a cuck thing to do but nowadays you spawn with 10 min left for some reason

[bronze ice]

@shadow violet The engine is odd, to say the least

Handles hexacore okay-ish

[desert garden]

It gets a bigger benefit from CPU clock than actual cores IMO

[trim herald]

Correct

[bronze ice]

It's not using 100% of either of my cores

nor my gpu

[desert garden]

So if you can and you're comfortable with it, give the old CPU core clock a nudge

[clever tapir]

I set textures to medium and suddenly I don't lag anymore

pretty nice

[desert garden]

My ryzen 1600 going to 3700Mhrtz from 3400 gives me about 15 to 20 fps on most maps

[clever tapir]

I went from low to medium and my fps got better lol

[flat cipher]

I run on high and don't get stuttering, and I don't have a good cpu, one or two maps might get a bit choppy when first loading

[desert garden]

Yeah and for settings, just fiddle around with it till you find something that works for you, I cant stand low AA. Like it makes my head hurt so I always cap that at max

[shadow violet]

Nothing designed to game 24/7, but should be able to handle 1080p without too many issues, even in games with bad optimisation such as the famed "Ark:Survival Evolved".

System Specifications are as follows:

CPU - AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X

GPU - AMD Radeon VII (16GB HBM2) @ Stock speeds

RAM - 64GB (4x16GB) Corsair Vengence LP White @ 2666Mhz

Outputting to 3x 1080p Displays, the game is only running one a single 1080p display.

[clear stag]

Sounds like the game was using your CPU instead of GPU with low settings @clever tapir

for graphics rendering

[clever tapir]

Yeah

Same thing with rust

[desert garden]

Rust is terrible

[clever tapir]

Rust helped me get past gear fear

[desert garden]

FPS ranged from 120 to 20 on a single map

[clear stag]

iirc just turning up your textures should make it prioritize using your gpu

at least for some games, idk about eft

[flat cipher]

Can't wait until i get a new cpu

[desert garden]

Whatcha getting Harry?

[clever tapir]

Because in rust it you don't use your best gear then you're just gonna get raided and lose it anyway

[desert garden]

In Rust youre gonna get raided while youre out with or without your best gear

[clever tapir]

Exactly

[shadow violet]

I am currently waiting another couple of years before my next upgrade, CPU wise anyway.

Will probably jump up to the latest generation AMD Threadripper CPU's available at the time.

[flat cipher]

Planning on r7 3700x

Might get something cheaper if I find a good deal at the time

[shadow violet]

I am looking at something with a minimum of Ryzen 9 3950X performance in games, and at least 64 Cores/ 128 Threads

[desert garden]

I'm totally unsure, Have the R5 1600 now and just got a 2080Super so its like slanted. Want to get something that equals the GPU I have rn

[shadow violet]

Hence the wait time of 24 Months approxiamtely

[flat cipher]

Yeah I recently bought a 1660ti

Up from a 970

[tender charm]

what's the weapon parts that i should remove to optimize weapon boxes storage ?

mags and stock ?

[trim herald]

Pistol grip and mag

[desert garden]

I'm up from an RX480.. First gen..

[flat cipher]

Grips and mags

And fold anything that folds

[trim herald]

Like so

[desert garden]

Grips and mags come off, Toss on attachments and sights on weapons you're not using

[shadow violet]

@desert garden RX480 aren't that bad, or at least, they shouldn't be, but knowing the way Tarkov operates I can see how an upgrade to the RTX 2080 Super would provide a noticeable improvement.

Tarkov doesn't seem to be well optimised for AMD Radeon GPU's.....

[desert garden]

Middle mouse click folds weapons in one go

[flat cipher]

They're not bad but, they're getting on a bit

They'd struggle with anything recent

[trim herald]

AMD GPU's are just not good, especially the older ones

[desert garden]

The 2080Super didn't improve my tarkov fps that much

[shadow violet]

@trim herald It depends on what your priorities are. For games, Nvidia have the upper hand for sure.

[desert garden]

Got about as much overclocking my CPU

[trim herald]

The super series are a bit of a meme unfortunately

[flat cipher]

Going from 970 to 1660ti made a sizeable difference to my game performance

[desert garden]

I agree with Rommel, the first gen RX480 series is low balling it at this point

[tender charm]

@trim herald where do u put your grips when the weapon takes the full 6 slots, i'm worried i'll lose them/mix them up

[shadow violet]

@desert garden You based in the US/EU/UK?

Pricing wise, it may be worth looking at a R5 3600

[desert garden]

EU

[shadow violet]

If your motherboard BIOS supports it

[trim herald]

@tender charm

[flat cipher]

480 is like super duper duper budget first pc build

[tender charm]

ty

[desert garden]

@tender charm I always keep the grips next to the gun in the same row. Easy to see if I have too many grips or too little too

[shadow violet]

@flat cipher If it gets you in the game theirs no reason to complain..... haha

[flat cipher]

Yeah my first pc was rough

Fx series cpu and a 480 too, i think

[shadow violet]

I used to play games on a Netbook..... and my mouse cost more than the netbook was worth.

[trim herald]

@desert garden Can't if the gun is 6 slots long though

[flat cipher]

Although even playing tarkov I can tell that my cpu ain't great

Struggles on reserve mainly

[hexed vessel]

@shadow violet that sounds incredibly familiar to me

[shadow violet]

@flat cipher Tarkov isn't particularly good at utilisng all the xtra threads these newer CPU's now offer.

[flat cipher]

No, but I'm running an i5-7400

So it chugs regardless

Most things do

[shadow violet]

@hexed vessel Familiar? In what way?

[sullen kindle]

See you guys talked about some hardware upgrades, I am upgrading my RAM from 8hb to 16gb later today , should I expect huge difference ?

[shadow violet]

@flat cipher Ah right, locked CPU too....

[flat cipher]

Yup

Ram helps for sure

[kind thunder]

WTF is wrong with this game i had a 6B23-1 Armour and ZSh-1-2M Helmet. i get 1 got by a player scav 20 feet away with a shot gun and die instantly ??

[bold kernel]

Anyone up to run shturman this evening? I’m est. not a total noob either.

[trim herald]

@sullen kindle Probably, 8-16 is a pretty huge upgrade

[flat cipher]

@kind thunder slugs, no face shield

[trim herald]

@kind thunder Face?

[flat cipher]

Probably

[shadow violet]

@sullen kindle In games, possibly a small difference, in multi-tasking you will see an imporvment though.

[waxen forge]

@bold kernel 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

[clear stag]

@kind thunder omg I wish I could do that with a shotgun?? I never manage to kill players with shotties

[kind thunder]

Yes

[flat cipher]

Bro slugs are op

[kind thunder]

but i had the shiled thing down

[waxen forge]

Because shotty are terrible.

Need to hit face

[trim herald]

What helmet?

Oh

[waxen forge]

The number of times you will die wearing a good/great helmet will far outweigh the number of times that it saves you. YES it can save you but many many more times it won’t be a factor in your death or will have failed to protect you. Therefore I don’t spend much $ on helmets.

[kind thunder]

zsh-1-2M

[trim herald]

Maybe he got some AP-20's from a PMC

[sullen kindle]

I am aiming to get rid of the stutters and make the game overall more smoother with the 16gb , guess I'll find out later tonight

[flat cipher]

Tell that to the guy wearing killa armour and a face shield that I killed yesterday

[clear stag]

Every time I've worn face shields I've gotten one tapped to the face anyway 😂

[desert garden]

tell that to the raider that just ate 9 shots from my TOZ scav and lived..

Except when I was using class 6 faceshield that thing is a god

[flat cipher]

Correct

[trim herald]

Faceshields are a bit of a meme

[waxen forge]

Didn't say that you can't kill with a shotgun just said that statistically it is terrible

[shadow violet]

@hexed vessel Did you used to game on a Netbook then too?

I can't imagine doing it now.....The pain...

[waxen forge]

@clear stag I like to hear and see.

[trim herald]

Anyone who's using decent ammo is going to ignore the face shield anyway

[flat cipher]

What is the best helmet, actually?

[trim herald]

Exfil black imo

But it's preference

[kind thunder]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Headwear

[shadow violet]

I haven't had great success with the Shotgun, statistically speaking, the damage drop-off at range is off on some of them.

But it is a case of balancing the game

[clear stag]

best helmet depends on what you want from it

[flat cipher]

I see a lot of people using the something frame precision

[clear stag]

if you going factory for pvp you want a class 6 faceshield

[waxen forge]

I don't want them to make shotugun better. I just use them when the task forces me to...or when I spawn with one as a scav. Would never choose otherwise

Overpriced @flat cipher

[trim herald]

Airframe isn't bis anymore

Exfil black does the same thing better

And is roughly the same price

[waxen forge]

What rommel said

[flat cipher]

Right

[trim herald]

And it's not tan, which is a huge pro

[waxen forge]

However you will die wearing it more than it will save you

[trim herald]

Shotguns are fine honestly

Up to 50m they're legit

Past that it's a bit hit and miss

[flat cipher]

I also see a lot of people wearing zhuk body armour, assuming because it's light and class 6?

[trim herald]

Same if someone is wearing very heavy armour

[waxen forge]

Really?

[trim herald]

You don't see A LOT of people wearing it, unless you're in labs

It's incredibly rare on other maps

[waxen forge]

I never come across people wearing zhuk

[sullen kindle]

Out of any other gun game I feel like tarkov has it where it should be as shotguns

[flat cipher]

By a lot I mean I've watched a few vids

[trim herald]

But yes, people would wear that because it stops a round of high quality ammo and it doesn't make you into a snail

It's 350k or so, repairs awfully, and you can only buy it from trader once per 4 hours

So it's not very common on other maps than Labs

[waxen forge]

Yea I would not say A lot re: it's use in any way.

About as common to see as the Ghazel

[flat cipher]

Right

What's the meta body armour then ig

[waxen forge]

Right now people are running armored rigs

Tactec or Tv rig

[trim herald]

Nah, even against lvl 6 armour you're better off shooting chest with good ammo

Than shooting legs

[pliant plank]

my insurance gave me literally everything back except my gun

[trim herald]

Takes less shots

[pliant plank]

wat

[flat cipher]

Yes

[trim herald]

Someone grabbed your gun I guess

[waxen forge]

People don't loot gear

Not as much as you would expect

They do loot weapons

[flat cipher]

Take weapon sell weapon

[pliant plank]

my friend hid it

[flat cipher]

Ez money

[pliant plank]

so well

lol

[waxen forge]

Gear takes up too much space in a bag

[pliant plank]

theres like no way anyone would have found it

unless they saw him throw it

[waxen forge]

Doesn't sell nearly as well as tech/hardware

[trim herald]

They show up bright white on thermals too, Nic

[pliant plank]

wtf

[trim herald]

Or your friend scammed you 😄

[waxen forge]

Weapons are not as lucrative as tech/hardware but if not good tech hardware I'll take them

[pliant plank]

why do guns show up on thermals

[waxen forge]

They get hot when you shoot them

[trim herald]

They just count as part of your body on thermals for whatever reason

A better question is, why do oatflakes show up white hot on thermals?

I really can't

[bold kernel]

double press O, does it say about that extract spot?

[desert garden]

It's probably because you need to be on the other extract.

[dusty yew]

So, I can't extract where I want?

[desert garden]

No

[flat cipher]

No?

The game tells you where to go

It's your fault for going the wrong way

[desert garden]

You extract on the other side of the map where you spawned, make sure to double press "O" when moving to extract, know where you're going

[dusty yew]

Okay, I am new 😄

I thought I could extract in the possible extraction points

I knew there were 3 here

An enemy sees you

ENEMY

And he shoots

[next zephyr]

[flat cipher]

Because you're an enemy

I don't shoot him and crouch and do anything to signalice "bro im your mate i don't wanna end you" but nah

[fresh umbra]

@craggy ibex I dont know man a guy saw me a hatchling and he let me loot interchange with him

[elder sandal]

I wanna put my mosin together but it says it doesnt have a compatible slot

I wanna put the barrel in the stock

[next zephyr]

You can't attach the Barrel to the Stock

[elder sandal]

Okay

[next zephyr]

The barrel must be attached to the receiver.

[elder sandal]

What would be the receiver?

[flat cipher]

The bit with the bolt in it

[craggy ibex]

i just wanna live trough one raid man xD i can't get xp when im just dead all the time xD

[next zephyr]

When you disassembled your mosin

You should've received three items, the stock, barrel, and then another one, that's the receiver

It should have a red background

[flat cipher]

The one with the name of the gun on it

[fresh umbra]

@craggy ibex do you want to duo ?

[next zephyr]

(That signifies that the gun is currently inoperable)

[elder sandal]

Yeah i do have a red part

[flat cipher]

That's the receiver

[next zephyr]

That's what you're looking for

[elder sandal]

Alright

[flat cipher]

The firing mechanism of the weapon

Same for any other gun

[next zephyr]

Think of it like the 'heart' of your gun

[flat cipher]

Everything else attaches to that

[next zephyr]

or the 'base item' onto which everything else goes

[elder sandal]

Sooo

What do I drag where

[soft basalt]

screenshot

[next zephyr]

If you just disassembled a full mosin, you should just have to drag the stock onto the receiver, and then the barrel onto the receiver

[trim herald]

@soft basalt Shitty chart 😦

[soft basalt]

[elder sandal]

It worked guys

Thank you

[next zephyr]

No problem, glad to help

[soft basalt]

in time you could have sold all parts and buy a new mosin

[next zephyr]

The guns in tarkov can be heavily modified, but I'd recommend you look into that later, once you've got some experience with the base models under your belt

[bold kernel]

I asked this quesion yesterday but my weenie ass forgot, Whats the best ammo to use BS?

[vernal anchor]

For 5.45, yeah pretty much

[bold kernel]

Alright thanks. yeah its for 5.45

[molten folio]

how does the accuracy system work in this game? Im emptying my pistol from about 5 meters to this guy (17 bullets) and only 4 of the shots hit. The whole time my crosshair is centered on the guy im shooting at

it feels like im no-scoping awp in csgo

am i supposed to have like 0.5 seconds pause between my shots or something

[stone surge]

close range 5meters

accuracy doesn't do anything

bullets will just generally hit where u shoot.

honestly accuracy only becomes a thing when sniping only

well after the first shot, that's where to kick is.

so if aim at his head and you spam fire

all bullets will fly above his head yes

this is clearly observed when going in hideout shootin range or offline when automatic firing at a wall

there's only a recoil "kick" after the first 1-3 shots

after that it's static

[molten folio]

wait, there's a shooting range?

[stone surge]

Hideout

[molten folio]

do i have to pay for the bullets there?

[stone surge]

no

it works same as offline basically

it's just thatr you enter faster

so it's easier to test recoil/scopes faster

[molten folio]

nice! i will go check that out right now

thanks

[stone surge]

and upgrade workbench also

in case u wanna mod weapons

[ocean bolt]

which to keep and which to sell?

[molten folio]

oh i need to buy the shooting range

[bold kernel]

Decent ammo for p90

ss190?

[fair bison]

anyone got an hour to help me out?

[wispy finch]

can someone try to explain to me the concept of sherpas

[cloud glacier]

@wispy finch Community mentors / guides ?

[wispy finch]

ah alright so they just help newer players

i dont see why that wouldnt work

[wraith lion]

I have no idea what to do on this game. I normally just kill people and have no idea how to extract.

[cloud glacier]

@wraith lion What do you mean? You don't know where? Or what ?

[wraith lion]

I don't know how to get better guns or find extraction zones

Do I just look at the map on the wiki?

[cloud glacier]

@wraith lion yeah - just find a nice map for your area and use it

[wraith lion]

Okay thankss

But how do I get better guns?

[silent bolt]

Yo could do with been taught the game anyone who could do that?

[cloud glacier]

@wraith lion You either find them on killed people (and sometimes in crates) - or buy them from vendors / flea market (lvl 5 req for flea)

@harsh jolt 1 ) hold C + mouse scroll to change your crouch "height"

[wraith lion]

Okay thanks guys

[cloud glacier]

@harsh jolt 2) you need to have space for your empty mag - otherwise you'll drop it

[bold kernel]

ok im building my hideout like first time, and is it good to leave generator on or off?

im not quite sure what it does

okay

i built everything i could

like every station atleast level 1

but im not crafting anything right now and im going to scavving so should i turn the generator off?

it has fuel in it

says "14h"

also says additional 2slots now that its on

[cloud glacier]

@bold kernel if you leave it working it will just consume fuel. So why leave it on unless it is being used for something ?

[bold kernel]

okay cool

i thought so

what are the VCs from Beginners assistance for?

My friend got scared and shot me in the head then I had a “Fatigue” battery symbol and HP on all my limbs was going down pretty fast I had to heal continuously. Are there any meds I can take to make that go away?

[cloud glacier]

@bold kernel you were bleeding - you need bandage or one of other meds that stop bloodloss

ok... mb... if you got fatigue you would also lose hp

[mossy jungle]

On delivery from the past, if i manage to place the documents in factory, and then die, can i just spawn factory survive and get out without having to redo the whole fetch and place part again?

[cloud glacier]

but it's not from being shot to the head - it's from not having energy (you need to eat something)

[frosty plinth]

@mossy jungle yes, as long as you place it

[bold kernel]

no it's not bleeding

[mossy jungle]

Thank you, that reduces the anxiety about this quest with about 2 out of 100

[bold kernel]

bandages didn't do anything and no bleeding symbol.. also how can i bleed from all limbs at once

[frosty plinth]

@mossy jungle much easier at night imo, strap on NV and in and out

[cloud glacier]

@bold kernel look for my next messages - I did tell you what it was after my first mistake

@bold kernel As for the bleeding - if your blacked part bleeds you will lose hp from every other part - so you easily can lose hp from "bleed" at every part of your body

@frosty plinth I checked wiki before I corrected myself: "Hard fatigue: All actions are 20% slower and you lose 1 point of health every 2 seconds"

[frosty plinth]

interesting, welp, I'm wrong, I'll delete it to not confuse players

[cloud glacier]

yeah... I also jumped the gun earlier 😉

[frosty plinth]

I had remembered (or thought I had), that energy was like a kill clock, that it just murders you after a few min of being at 0

didn't remember the hp drain from it

TIL

[flat cipher]

always bring some water n some oats fellas

[frosty plinth]

or croutons

[lucid slate]

Anyone know the percentage of red keycard spawning in 218?

[frosty plinth]

very very very very very small

lol

But no, no actual %'s

[lucid slate]

Yeah haha I’ve been trying to get it for the past 2 hrs

Always meet fully geared dudes on the way there so rip

[frosty plinth]

It's not a reliable thing to farm, just something you check the spawn for as you're looting

[bold kernel]

well yes but my question is if there's any medication for that because i got shot in the head and my vision was going black and back to normal and losing hp without bleeding

no blacked limbs or anything

[lucid slate]

In need of some roubles rn, so yeah idk what to farm

[cloud glacier]

@bold kernel You getting shot was just a coincidence - unless you were shot in the stomach and had it blacked. To "cure" energy you need to eat something in game ;P

[frosty plinth]

@lucid slate secrete caches on shoreline, IC, scav run reserve, all good options

[lucid slate]

I’ll try em out

Thanks

Is there any land marks or key builds I can learn for customs, I load into the map and feel instanly loss. Yes, I use the online maps but still I cannot gather where I am

[stable totem]

You can always tell what side of the map your on by looking what extracts you got

[bold kernel]

How do you tell friendlies from enemies?

[stable totem]

they are always on the opposite side

[waxen forge]

Big red on the West Side. New gas and boilers on the east side

[split widget]

OHHH

@stable totem thants amzing info

[trim herald]

@bold kernel There are no friendlies

[waxen forge]

You mean as a team? @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

so it;s always last man standing?

[cloud glacier]

@split widget factory chimneys, river, train tracks - on most of the places you'll see at least one of those

[bold kernel]

yes teams

can anyone help me with delivery from the past?

[waxen forge]

If so then good Comms

[split widget]

kk thanks guys!

[bold kernel]

@waxen forge Yes teams

[waxen forge]

Good communication.

That's what is required

experience together

[untold vapor]

?

[bold kernel]

@waxen forge thru in game chat? or thru 3rd party like Discord?

Is there in game chat?

[waxen forge]

Use discord or something.

[bold kernel]

ok cauise I say a chat valoume setting

[waxen forge]

There is no in game voip but at the same time you wouldn't want to in-game use voip as it would give away position.

[bold kernel]

ok

[waxen forge]

NEVER team with rando in the lobby. If you cannot communicate with voice you should never play together.

[bold kernel]

so the voices I hear (In russian) are just NPCs?

[waxen forge]

Scavs will talk

PMC can talk using voice commands

F1 is basic mumble

Double tap Y to see the voice commands and hand gestures available

[stable totem]

Player scavs can also bait by talking russian

[kind night]

bears can also sound like scaves when you're starting to ay the game

but then youll be able to tell

theyve got a more

robust sounding voice id say

[steel torrent]

So...in the last 48 hrs i havent killed a single person and i have successfully extracted once. I feel a bit frustrated as i constantly lose my stuff....do u have any advice? I cant seem to spot from where they are shooting me and even if i do i cant win a single gunfight. I just constantly die and die and die sometimes even 30 secs in the raid.. am i bad or it is the logic of the game to just go broke when u start it?

[hollow terrace]

guys, what i really really need to bring on my alpha container to a raid? 2x2 slots.
Now i do: 60 Bullets + IFAK + Docs Case
But im thinking in: CMS + Docs Case, is it good?

[bold kernel]

@waxen forge thanks! So I should jump into one of the Beginner Assist groups and hope for the best?

[waxen forge]

You can.

[bold kernel]

Here in discord

[kind night]

@steel torrent its normal, youll get used to it

[waxen forge]

Also maybe #pvp-lfg

[bold kernel]

Just don't wanna tick anyone off with my inexperience

[split widget]

I'm with you Polk.. same boat

[kind night]

being good comes with practice

[split widget]

I've really been focusing on map knowledge and extracts

[lapis frigate]

I feel you ploktan, I feel you 😄

[waxen forge]

@steel torrent 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

[kind night]

Just keep practicing guys

youll get good

eventually

its a really hard game

even for people that have been playing for years

so dont be discouraged

forget everything you know about shooters

this game is a beast of its own

[steel torrent]

Okay so customs offline and scav at interchange got it....i made the mistake to scav at factory just bc its a smaller map and i thought well maybe its easier without the trees and the shady rooms

[waxen forge]

Factory scav is a waste of scav

Factory is not for beginners. It is not representative of the rest of the maps in game and is not representative of how you play EFT. It is EFT COD.

[split widget]

I've really enjoyed scav'ing in at reserve as a new player.

[waxen forge]

Reserve is ok. Good loot. Just a bit more difficult with the conditional exits but a viable option.

Use scav at Interchange, Shoreline, and maybe reserve.

Those maps have loot.

Factory does not.

[split widget]

but you know why I like reserve because it's a small map I can acutally find extracts lol

[waxen forge]

@steel torrent 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

[steel torrent]

Its also frustrating bc i havent the best pc and thus my loading screens are huge (like 5-6 mins). So to die a minute in the raid only to wait 6 more minutes dehypes me a lot...

@waxen forge ty i will

[waxen forge]

Game on SSD?

16gb ram?

Those 2 things not being in place will effect load times

[steel torrent]

8 gb and stored normally

[white horizon]

is there an up to date video, that explains what each graphic setting does? or by chance someone with the patience willing to sit with me for a moment to figure out graphic settings.

[steel torrent]

@waxen forge do i get a notification for the pmc status? I checked the rules and setup

[waxen forge]

You got it...blue name

[steel torrent]

Oh ok

[white horizon]

I'm trying to fiddle around, and see how everything feels. I don't want to make the game look like potato but i def don't want to be at a disadvantage because i'm wanting better quality etc.

[bold kernel]

gm everyone.

[waxen forge]

@white horizon Not that I know of. I'd check some streamer like Dr. Lupo and such. I'm pretty sure they have graphics setting commands in their chats

[desert garden]

Turning down shadows and reflections helps a lot

[white horizon]

possibly, a quick youtube search gives me conflicting settings is why I was curious. one says use TAA, another FXAA, when i first started, person said just have AA off. one vid is high shadows, other vid is low shadows >.< some constants being low shadow visability.

def noticed the diff when fiddling with shadow visibility. kinda sad tbh cause now i get why when walking through dark parts of interchange why in a certain distance it's bright af like full sunlight.

[split widget]

I would have to say for this game in alpha or beta this game feels good.

[white horizon]

I def like the effort they are putting forth

okay how can i change my screen from windowed to fullscreen? im windowed and cant get to settings.... how do i fix this

[white horizon]

i grasp that. I'm not refuting it. i was just figuring an easier to read for the current patch would make sense, no?

[cloud glacier]

@gloomy fulcrum alt + enter

[white horizon]

can't get to like how? is your taskbar covering the bottom or something?

[gloomy fulcrum]

yea taskbar is covering the bottom

[white horizon]

hit window key

it's a natural windows bug

[vital igloo]

can you flea market a GP coin

[waxen forge]

Wiki is easy to read. Ammo type on left side. damage to body/armor in colums. Right side color coded as to if it penetrates level 1 - 6 armor.

@vital igloo Compare therapist to flea price.

[frosty plinth]

It may or may not be current is the point. None of us know the designer, and they make ninja changes to this game constantly.

[waxen forge]

Sell to trader if they are close

Don't overuse flea

[white horizon]

true. they made a ninja change to the medstation same day i was using it to craft 5 mins sals xD

I guess I'm just still not comfortable/familiar to look at the large list of ballistics so i've been resorting to that chart.

[trim herald]

That ammo chart blows btw

Blows chunks

[white horizon]

cause for me, 1 screen. I can just peek and see. vs needing to scroll down or open search in browser*

[trim herald]

Sure, but the chart is awful

[waxen forge]

IF need to print out the ammo chart and keep by keyboard

[trim herald]

Like really SHIT

[white horizon]

how so?

[trim herald]

Almost every caliber is fucked

Except 7.62x39

Because there aren't enough different rounds for them to fuck it up

But the rest, almost every single one is fucked in one way or another

[white horizon]

m80's are pretty strong, how would that be wrong?

[split widget]

is there a chart for items I should be keeping at lower levels?

[trim herald]

TPZ isn't though

And it's under best budget

Which is a lie

[waxen forge]

TLDR. The chart you use may have some correct parts but MANY are incorrect. For the most accurate and up to date ballistics use the wiki.

No other way to say it
