[trim herald]

I've ignored you too Timax

[frosty plinth]

😦

[shell cave]

ayyy

ima in

[coarse oasis]

is game playable right now ?

[whole galleon]

what FOV should i be playing on? I usually put it on max straight away, but i see alot of people using 60 here?

[digital wing]

If I find damaged armor and want to sell it, is it worth more to repair then sell or just sell (traders)?

[young kettle]

I started at max, turned it down to 70 and I like it

[whole galleon]

but why

[young kettle]

See people farther away easier

[whole galleon]

i like how it looks with max, but is there any performance bonuses by using 60?

[wet moss]

u draw more on ur screen with higher fov

[digital wing]

I think someone did an experiment with aiming and FOV and found that FOV affected ADS zoom or something

[wet moss]

so it will be an fov hit but not how big

[bold kernel]

just got a thermal sight back off insurance

what

[young kettle]

I mean yeah it’ll help to turn fov down. Not a HUGE difference though, it depends on ur pc

[wet moss]

err fps hit

i like lower fov cause people are bigger

[young kettle]

FoV fucks with a lot of things, even in actual polished release games fov bugs are pretty common. Wouldn’t surprise me

[wet moss]

u dont typically need to see someone on the far right of ur screen u usually hear them before then and look in their direction

[steep trail]

anyone want to help build a good kit for me i would very much apreciate it i have a bit of money like 1,000,000 roubles

[young kettle]

Yeah I play 4:3 in CS it’s awesome lol

What kinda gun? @steep trail

Kit out an m4

[wet moss]

i mean thats why people play 4:3 blackbars in cs

it just makes people bigger

harder to miss

[steep trail]

idk whats the one thats like used by everyone not the m4

i have an m4 killed a guy

[young kettle]

Blackbars actually doesn’t, it’s stretched that makes people wider

[wet moss]

blackbars stretches them

[timid jungle]

Whats the point to buying a second alpha container?

[young kettle]

M4 is good, AKM is good, AK74n is good, M1A and SVD are good marksmanship @steep trail

[steep trail]

its like the vss

[young kettle]

I think some people like the VSS. Comes suppressed and full auto which is nice but it has a SHITLOAD of bullet drop

And small bullets don’t do great against armor

[pliant plank]

i love insurance

[bold kernel]

so these new changes

are they actually going to eliminate hatchet runs (the 1% health regen thing) or nah

Not really

It will deter people but not eradicate it

[royal wind]

People just buy a mak and nothing changes.

[bold kernel]

[trim bloom]

yo guys

whats the mod for angled sights

and is it available for aks

[celest condor]

mpr=45 and yes

mpr-45

[trim bloom]

where does it go

[celest condor]

and yes if you have the right handguard.

There are multiple handguards that work.

[young kettle]

You prolly need the CMRD

Or another good one yeah

[celest condor]

Does not work with CMRD.

[young kettle]

Really?

[celest condor]

At least it didn't.

[trim bloom]

it doesnt

theres no mpr45 for cmrd

[young kettle]

I haven’t tried to put an angled sight on, don’t super see the need for one

That’s weird though

[celest condor]

I liek the new 5.45 aggressor

I also used the TROY gas block and handguard combo.

[royal wind]

I like the look of that one.

[trim herald]

@young kettle wtf

The 9x39 is AMAZING against armour

What are you on about?

[royal wind]

Borderline OP really.

[young kettle]

Is that the VSS rounds?

[trim herald]

Yes

[young kettle]

No shit?

[trim herald]

It's one of the best rounds against armour

[royal wind]

That's why it's all you see in labs lately.

[young kettle]

Idk I’m new dude I just assumed since it was 9 mil it’d be shitty against armor

[trim herald]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[trim herald]

Use the ammo chart 😄

[young kettle]

Oh wow no kidding

I been using this picture a lot works a lot easier for me on mobile. I just didn’t actually check for VSS ammo

[celest condor]

9mmis only half the designation of a round though. 9.18 is a very different round than the 9x39mm

[trim herald]

And 7.62x25 is a very different round from 7.62x54R

[celest condor]

Just like the 7.62x25 is VERY different than the 7.62x54. And a 12.7x55 is nothing liek the .50BMG even though the round is the same diametter.

[young kettle]

That makes sense. Sorry I’m still learning, there’s a shitload to learn in this game lol

[trim herald]

Beat you to it Smurfman

[celest condor]

I was adding a few other rounds...

[royal wind]

All about that speed baby.

[celest condor]

But great minds think alike.

[digital wing]

Really tough to get into the game this late into wipe. PMC's all geared

[young kettle]

Vast majority of PMCs I see aren’t super geared tbh

[royal wind]

Late wipe. Please... over half the player base is new.

[digital wing]

Then I guess I've been having bad luck on Customs.

[young kettle]

I play shoreline mostly though

[trim herald]

@digital wing You're dying to experience, not gear

[young kettle]

Oh ya customs is poppin

Shoreline is way chiller I rarely see people rocking armor above level 3. Outside of resort obv

[pliant plank]

dude i hate interchange for 1 reason

once u start a fight

it never ends

u get swarmed

[digital wing]

@trim herald yes, but also not able to pen or at least have my damage get mitigated by armor I'm firing into.

[trim herald]

@digital wing Are you lvl 5?

[digital wing]

3

[trim herald]

Then use an SKS with PS

Shoot heads

[brittle hinge]

can someone recomend a semi cheep loadout im level 16 and have 4 mil roubles any recomendations

[trim herald]

Or avoid PMC's until lvl 5

@brittle hinge What is semi cheap?

[young kettle]

AK74N with Zhukov stock @brittle hinge

And BS bullets

[brittle hinge]

idk

kk

[trim herald]

@digital wing Also make sure you examine every item on all the traders

[digital wing]

I am running that, trying to practice my aim since this is the one game my hands get shaky in. I try to avoid PMC's but I keep getting spawned on the east side of the map by antenna where there is a few PMC spawns close together so they hunt me down quickly with their knowledge of spawns

[trim herald]

Customs can be rough, but try to just grab a couple of scav kills every raid

[warped halo]

Is there a set of nvidia freestyle settings I should use? Just wanna make the game look playable don't care about that competitive shit

[trim herald]

Run it in offline mode

[royal wind]

Looks just fine without freestyle.

[trim herald]

@warped halo I run colour filter at 0, 0, 0, 100

In that order

[waxen forge]

The game is playable. I've played for years and never used a filter.

[royal wind]

"I NEED MORE COLOR!"

[digital wing]

The match I just ran I got spawned same spot, knew someone was coming from left of me because I spawned in that spot before and got dropped from the place I just spawned in now. Got the drop on the guy and got 2 rounds to his chest then got a burst of full auto fire to my chest and that was the end. My knowledge of the map is getting better, just need to settle my nerves and steady my aimm

Shootout picnic is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.

[warped halo]

let's do this

[digital wing]

Just trying to focus on learning everything about customs first and running it over and over until I've got it memorized, and then when another quest takes me to another map I can focus on that map for a while.

[young kettle]

Focusing on one map at first is smart

[warped halo]

my freestyle settings rn

[digital wing]

Factory I know is gonna be the one I'll suffer in because CQC is awful with shaky hands

[dapper sparrow]

im trying to find this magazine on flea market but i cant find it??

[warped halo]

oh you can't really tell

[trim herald]

Run scav runs on Interchange or caches on Shoreline for cash though

[young kettle]

I’ve been grinding shoreline then just scav interchange for loot

[trim herald]

Right click the mag, and filter by item

[waxen forge]

@dapper sparrow Just go to prapor and buy it

[warped halo]

@dapper sparrow you can buy from prapor too

[dapper sparrow]

but where is it the cheapest? @warped halo

[waxen forge]

Use TRADERS

[warped halo]

no clue lol, don't have flea market rn cause I just started but traders always gonna be cheap

well just started this wipe

haven't played in a whole year

[waxen forge]

You need to level them up with spending. Don't penny pinch every item and buy on flea.

[dapper sparrow]

ok

[royal wind]

Traders will usually always be cheaper for most things anyways.

People buy from the traders and mark up the prices on FM.

[warped halo]

where should I go with just a pistol?

[waxen forge]

Flea is for players to sell to players. Taking advantage of people who haven't leveled traders and are willing to pay a marked up price for items that they could buy from traders if they leveled them

[warped halo]

Wanna get something done while waiting for scav to refresh

[teal bone]

hello would a high level like to help me and my dumb friend be good at the game?

[warped halo]

I'm thinking interchange

[royal wind]

Work on a quest?

[warped halo]

Oh, true

[trim herald]

@warped halo Why just use a pistol?

[deft kelp]

how do i know what to use to heal which wounds?

[warped halo]

Well, I just have a pistol rn since I just started this wipe and don't have flea market access

And I have like 6 pistols sitting around

[young kettle]

Quests should be your priority tbh they’ll level you up hella fast so you can get flea

[warped halo]

(I'm also cheap)

Alright thank you

[trim herald]

@deft kelp AI-2/CAR/SALEWA/IFAK for healing damage, Splint/Aluminum splint for fractures, CMS/Surv12 for black limbs, Painkillers for pain, bandages for bleeding

All healing kits except for AI-2 also stop bleeding

[dapper sparrow]

if i wanna take one handgun, how many mags do i need for it to reload?

[warped halo]

Thank you, going to go customs

I usually go 2 mags depending on the size

[trim herald]

@dapper sparrow At least 1 spare mag

[royal wind]

One extra. But advisable to bring a couple.

[trim herald]

I'd grab 3-4 for the PM

[dapper sparrow]

then what happens if i reload twice?

[young kettle]

If I only bring one gun I usually bring 2 spares

[warped halo]

it goes for the most full mag afaik

[trim herald]

You reload back to the first mag

[warped halo]

yeah

[royal wind]

If the other mag is completely empty you dont reload at all.

[warped halo]

if mags are empty it won't reload

[trim herald]

Honestly bois

[bold kernel]

is Radar a scav boss?

[waxen forge]

Bring extra round to reload a mag once you empty it

[trim herald]

Just buy an SKS if you are under lvl 5

[dapper sparrow]

if mags are empty i need to fill them with bullets from inventory?

[trim herald]

Or a vepr 136 if you're over lvl 5

[royal wind]

Yes.

[warped halo]

anyone else's nvidia freestyle keep removing game filters btw

[dapper sparrow]

ok thx all

[warped halo]

I think it's prob because of the updates or idk

[waxen forge]

You take extra bullets into raid and can reload mags

[bold kernel]

what scav has a xmas hat and shoots nukes from his rifle?

[young kettle]

I just turned my sharpness down a bit and my game honestly looks great

[ripe perch]

did they buff scav loot cuz my scav legit has a vss with a scope

[young kettle]

Fuck a freestyle

[tender charm]

what sight do you guys use on AR's ?

[trim herald]

@warped halo It doesn't remove filters for me, but I have to reactivate it in gforce experience to make it work 😄

[royal wind]

But agreed with Rommel. Just buy an sks take a pocketful of bullets.

[waxen forge]

@young kettle Been like that for weeks

[young kettle]

Dude I’ve spawned in on scav with a SV98 and thermal lol

[trim herald]

@bold kernel PMC does, scavs don't have christmas gear anymore

@tender charm No AR in the game, what gun are you trying to use?

[deft kelp]

is there a good resource for figuring out what bullet types are good for what?

@deft kelp lemme get the spreadsheet

That's the wiki spreadsheet

[deft kelp]

ty bby

[trim herald]

Same info as on the wiki

[young kettle]

I really like the EOTECH 553 holo or whatever. Or the Walter reflex @tender charm I fuckin hate the UH 1. A lot of people like the Weaver as well but it’s not my favorite

I’ve been finding I hit a lot more shots with the 553 holo, been liking it a lot

[warped halo]

BRUH

[trim herald]

I use the PK-06 for any 1x

Or the HAMR for any 1/4

[warped halo]

ok lemme see what gun killed me

[young kettle]

Sights are all preference though, I’d just buy a bunch and take them into an offline

[deft kelp]

so get 7.62 rounds 🤔

[warped halo]

two guys shooting me with auto rifles lol

[tender charm]

ok i'll try these out

ty

[young kettle]

The HAMR is super sick I bring that any time I’m only bringing one gun in

No prob

[waxen forge]

Any time only bringing in 1 gun?

[warped halo]

stupid muzzle flash

[waxen forge]

You regularly bring in more than 1

[young kettle]

Most of my runs I’ll bring an AK and a m700 yeah

I pretty much only run shoreline

Still newish so I don’t rush PvP very much

[deft kelp]

how do i invite my buddies

[waxen forge]

Your call but nobody (very very rarely) brings in more than 1 weapon

Go to lobby and "start looking for group" then they do the same

[young kettle]

I don’t like playing shoreline without having a sniper

[waxen forge]

Right click to Invite to grou

1 person does the invite

[young kettle]

If I bring in something super expensive like an m4 I’ll usually just bring that with a HAMR

But my aks are cheaper and kick more so I like having a m700 or something

[royal wind]

I just bring a pistol when I use a bolt action.

[waxen forge]

I usually just point fire the rifle

Or use something I took off a dead guy as my "backup"

[trim herald]

MP7 with 5 mags when I bring a boltie

[young kettle]

The AKs I’ve built fuckin rip they’re what I use most of the time. Bolt action is just when I spot someone cross map

[trim herald]

Because fuck my cash

[willow sage]

anyone wanna play??

[waxen forge]

#pvp-lfg

[trim herald]

Also the MP7 is so fun to use

[bold kernel]

I know

[royal wind]

5 mags for a backup. Sounds like a primary at that point!

[bold kernel]

y'all were right saying it's better than the mp5. It tears through my ammo though

[trim herald]

@royal wind I mean, it's not like I'm bringing spare mags for the rifle

Top loading like a boss

[royal wind]

I wish you could top load the DVL.

[lapis topaz]

Offline Lab run with an SKS + Horde pretty awesome to warm up and train on tactical skills + aim

[trim herald]

Small mag sizes though, it's not too bad

[dense pine]

hmm... is there a reason my scav's at 17 minutes when i haven't done a scav raid in days?

[trim herald]

Buggy

[royal wind]

Sometimes it resets when you log in.

[young kettle]

Relaunch the game see if it fixes it

[vital tiger]

Should I care about runthroughs on scavs?

[waxen forge]

No

Use your scav to make $

[vital tiger]

Awesome

[waxen forge]

So go to a map that spawns loot

[vital tiger]

Spawned in with a tank shell in my back pack and just legged it for the evac

[waxen forge]

Take your time...loot..get out and sell it or keep it for Hideout/Tasks

[dense pine]

you shouldn't care about runthroughs at all, really

and really, run-through is "no combat" ... i've had a runthrough on customs where i left with 3 minutes left :D

[pliant plank]

yeah i just had a PMC reserve runthrough

but made like 250k

nothin wrong with that really

[waxen forge]

A run through means not enough Xp....only "penalty" is you don't get the XP modifier.

[pliant plank]

wow why are AKMNs worth so much

[ionic panther]

whats best map to learn when new to the game

[pliant plank]

i just found my first one

had to examine it lol

[trim herald]

They're just expensive from trader so

[pliant plank]

ah

not a great gun?

[waxen forge]

@ionic panther 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.

[slow basin]

How do I remove the "out of stock" listings on the flea market?

[pliant plank]

set quantity to 1?

[waxen forge]

@pliant plank Sell weapons to traders...breakdown and sell to Skier then rest to mechanic

[pliant plank]

this works for me for out of stock stuff

[young kettle]

Set minimum quantity to 1 instead of 0 @slow basin

Yeah ^

[bold kernel]

Hey, why I could before sell 3 items in a time, but rn I can sell only 2

[young kettle]

What

[pliant plank]

@waxen forge is there any1 specific i should sell tech stuff to

[bold kernel]

At flea Market

[young kettle]

Oh one of your offers is probably bugged @bold kernel take off the minimum quantity and check your offers

One of them probably says out of stock

[pliant plank]

ok thats what ive been doing

shes a scam artist on a few items tho lmao

[young kettle]

It’s a bug, haven’t found a way to fix it

[livid granite]

can anyone point me in the direction of some google docs for ammo and gun types?

[waxen forge]

@pliant plank Check therapist price vs. flea. IF she's close sell to her.

Same for hardware

Rigs/armor/backpacks to Skier

@pliant plank Filter flea by lowest to highest

Compare her price to lowest flea price

[deft kelp]

@waxen forge do i just use the maps on the wiki?

[waxen forge]

Yes

[exotic nebula]

Is there anyway to get a PSO 1 onto a ADAR?

[untold quail]

Yeah need a 3rd party map

[waxen forge]

No

[digital wing]

Just got a factory exit key from a scav run! Alright, so if I use it I keep it in the container. Which maps should I bring it to and with its limited uses now how much is it worth on nflea?

[waxen forge]

Use wiki maps

Customs and factory are the only places that use that key

ADAR does not have dovetail mount...so no PSO

[untold quail]

Adar has a rail though pretty sure so gives more options really

[young kettle]

Use a ELCAN specter 1x/4x, favorite scope @exotic nebula

[deft kelp]

who dyou buy maps for a mission from

[untold quail]

Not sure what you mean @deft kelp

[exotic nebula]

Will check it out

[deft kelp]

when you're prepping it says "warning you don't have the proper map in your inventory"

so im assuming you can get maps somewhere

[exotic nebula]

Tryna make a budget dmr with the pso 1 can't find a mount to get it on

[untold quail]

Ah just ignore that. You can buy some from therapist, but don't waste money

[young kettle]

Those maps not worth it tbh just load one up on your second monitor or phone @deft kelp

[trim herald]

@deft kelp It's a remnant from an old mechanic

[deft kelp]

alright, just hard to figure out where i am from landmarks alone

[trim herald]

No longer ingame

[deft kelp]

i just started and having a hard time finding the escape routes

[young kettle]

OP sks is what you want if you really want pso 1 @exotic nebula with a dovetail Mount

[deft kelp]

any tips for not getting lost in the map?

[daring terrace]

Keep playing

[untold quail]

Yes, will definitely take a while to orientate yourself. Try to stick to one or two maps for a bit to learn

[exotic nebula]

Yeah #weapon-modding just told me there's no RIS to Dovetail

[young kettle]

Pull up a map on the tarkov wiki @deft kelp follow shit like walls, roads and power lines

[deft kelp]

got you

[young kettle]

Eventually you’ll have the map pretty much memorized but at first they’re super confusing for sure

[lone bobcat]

i have 300,000 and no weapons don't know what to spend it on

[upper iron]

I found 2 seperate car batteries, should I sell both?

[untold quail]

It just is going to take time to learn it all. Generally you spawn across the map from your exit

[upper iron]

or will I need them

I am level 5

[agile raft]

what do with all those if they dont fit in ur docs case anymore?

[young kettle]

300k is about what you’d need to spend on a super high end craft

Sell em @upper iron

[lone bobcat]

i dont want to spend it all though do I?

[young kettle]

I mean no I wouldn’t

[upper iron]

ok thanks

[trim herald]

@agile raft Sell, or leave some in stash

[untold quail]

Buy a second docs case and make map specific key sets or sell extras

[trim herald]

@upper iron You'll need them found in raid for a therapist quest that's pretty early

[lone bobcat]

i had a 200,000 raid then my game dc

[young kettle]

What kinda gun you want? If you want a DMR but a VEPR hunter with m80. If you want a rifle buy an AKM with BP bullets or an AK74n with BS bullets @lone bobcat

[trim herald]

@lone bobcat If you're lvl 5+, buy a vepr 136

@lone bobcat If you're under 5, buy an SKS

[lone bobcat]

im not level five yet

okay

[young kettle]

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.

[young kettle]

Yeah if you’re under level 5 though just buy an AK. 300k is quite a fuckin bit for being under level 5 tbh

[waxen forge]

EDIT PRESET ^....easy modding

[young kettle]

Yeah edit preset helps SO much with learning to mod

I’ve been learning so fast just playing around with shit

[trim herald]

Don't buy an AK pre-5

It's a waste of cash

SKS with PS is fine

[lone bobcat]

i need nuts bolts and pliers

[warped halo]

not a terrible haul from a scav run

[upper iron]

lol I have a factory exit key, Therapist offers me 156k and flea 150k.... so sell to therapist?

[waxen forge]

Obviously

[upper iron]

Well someone could've suggested putting it for higher :p

Who knows

[dense pine]

therapist is higher than flea market often enough to be worth checking

[waxen forge]

USE TRADERS

Don't overuse flea

[upper iron]

Nvm it's 160k

[dense pine]

160k - fees

I'd still sell it to therapist

With fees it's about the same

[warped halo]

@deft kelp reserve?

[waxen forge]

Counts to leveling up your therapist "spent"

[deft kelp]

customs

[upper iron]

NOno, therapist was 160k ^^

Thanks anyway

[warped halo]

hm

[deft kelp]

so as a scav, only shoot/go for non-scavs, right?

players are friendly?

[warped halo]

does killing scavs as a scav count towards prapor's first mission?

[deft kelp]

errrr

[dense pine]

that said, factory exit key is nice for factory :D

[deft kelp]

are unfriendly

[warped halo]

@deft kelp uh tbh everyone's unfriendly

[cunning kite]

whats a good way to get nuts and bolts

[deft kelp]

I thought as a scav the ai scavs ignored you

[dense pine]

@deft kelp sometimes. :D

[deft kelp]

tho it seems like killing ai scavs is a good way to get loot/money anyway so

[warped halo]

is fuel worth anything?

[waxen forge]

@deft kelp As a scav all Ai Scavs are friendly. PMC are not and player scavs are questionable...some will be friendly some won't

[warped halo]

wait do they ignore you?

[waxen forge]

about 70k

[dense pine]

generally yes, but a) scav raiders. b) killing ai scavs gets them hellbent on killing you. c) pscavs look like ai scavs and will kill you

[warped halo]

ah

[deft kelp]

alright

[warped halo]

that's what you mean

(just shoot the ai scavs)

[waxen forge]

Scav boss and raiders kill player scavs.

NO

IF you are a scav then don't shoot the ai scavs

They are your friends

[dense pine]

You wouldn't kill your friends. You wouldn't download a car.

[warped halo]

oh really

[waxen forge]

You can use them as alarm system

[warped halo]

ahhhhh

had no clue

[young kettle]

I would 1000% download a car

[waxen forge]

Scav bosses will kill you and raiders.

[warped halo]

Wait I literally had no idea

Is this a recent change?

[waxen forge]

Player scavs may honor the scav code...may not

[cunning kite]

what map should i play if im looking for nuts and bolts?

[waxen forge]

@deft kelp Money is Tech/hardware. IT will make way more money that gear/weapons

So killing scavs on a scav run is not helping you make the most $

[dense pine]

@cunning kite most have those, but interchange has hardware stores

[waxen forge]

Interchange has a ton of toolboxes

The amount of money per slot for weapons/gear is WAY less than tech/hardware.

[daring terrace]

Found quite a bit at power station as well @cunning kite

[waxen forge]

Use scav on a map that actually spawns loot like Interchange/Shoreline

[dense pine]

@cunning kite that said, nuts/bolts are like 10k each on the flea. so really, any loot can be sold for some value towards them

[pliant plank]

i cant wait til i feel confident enough for labs

ive been saving a bunch of fully modded guns i get off people just for it lmao

gonna be fun af

[dense pine]

@pliant plank me too. only been playing for 50 years now. ;)

[pliant plank]

thats it?

[waxen forge]

If going to labs for loot it's overrated

[pliant plank]

im going to labs for fun

i really like the layout and how the fights play out from watching other people play the map

[warped halo]

scav on interchange always felt solid

[pliant plank]

CQC is my jam

[waxen forge]

Costs 180 to get in..have to bring good gear so that's $. May find loot and it will be nice but likely to die. What you do loot would have to cover Gear cost/entrance cost. and ammo cost.

So you are looking at needing to make at least 400K to break even

[young kettle]

Scav interchange runs are the shit tbh

[warped halo]

Is reserve the new high-level place to go?

[waxen forge]

Interchange can make 400k running a pistol with a good backpack

[warped halo]

Used to be labs but then they introduced keycards

[dense pine]

reserve and interchange are good :D

[deft kelp]

what does the difficulty next to the fist on the map indicate

when you're picking a map

[warped halo]

@young kettle even better I just hang around kiba and see how many dead people I can find

[young kettle]

I too scared to run reserve. That and customs are where I find a lot of sweats

[warped halo]

^

reserve is scary

[young kettle]

I pretty much exclusively do PMC shoreline runs and interchange scav

[waxen forge]

But that won't make you the most money $ hanging around Kiba

[flat cipher]

do you keep thecontents of a bp if you drop and its insured

[warped halo]

@waxen forge well when you spawn with 10 minutes left chances are you won't find many people

[pliant plank]

ive been doing reserve PMC runs and scav interchange runs

[warped halo]

I killed 2 player scavs tho, got decent stuff

[pliant plank]

OLI is underrated IMOw

[warped halo]

"decent"

[pliant plank]

OLI spawns so many water filters and fuels

[waxen forge]

You don't need people to make $

You need items

[old snow]

only time im scared on reserve is when i do a night time raid

[pliant plank]

and its way safer than tech stores

if u get a decent oli spawn and backpack on a scav u can make 300-400k out of the store

[warped halo]

I found an uley or something but didn't bring it out

thing only had .5 durability lol

[dapper sparrow]

does selling to traders lvl them up?

[pseudo kernel]

Does anyoneeee have ragman lvl 3

[waxen forge]

It counts to the "spent" criteria

[pliant plank]

god i hate doing tasks i know i need to but i hate them

i just wanna play the game

not worry about little side quests

[dapper sparrow]

thx

[dense pine]

traders have 3 requirements for loyalty levels. total spent(/sold), player level, and reputation

[brisk mantle]

in scavs , when ypu finish a round, does it only show you the names of the people you killed ? not bots right ?

[waxen forge]

Shows you everyone

[brisk mantle]

because i killed 2, i only saw 1 name , so figured ??

[dense pine]

ai scavs, pscavs, and pmcs

[brisk mantle]

hm..

[waxen forge]

End screen shows everyone you killed

[dense pine]

if you see ??? it's pmcs you didn't grab the dogtags for

[pliant plank]

dude this new headset makes me realize how bad my old one was

wow

[sullen sky]

im lvl 5 and wondering if anyone wanted to team

[brisk mantle]

you get a dogtag from pmcs or dont ?

[sullen sky]

im not really good at the game but

[pliant plank]

#pvp-lfg

[waxen forge]

PMC has a dog tag

[pliant plank]

@sullen sky ^

[brisk mantle]

tyty

[sullen sky]

ive tried.....

[brisk mantle]

also when you solo queue in scavs, can their be people in groups or in partys ? or is every solo ing

[pliant plank]

SEND NUDES

[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.

[brisk mantle]

ouu tyty

youre a good man lad

[waxen forge]

@brisk mantle On any given raid there are PMC (possibly solo or in groups), there are ai scavs, and then there are player scavs (possibly solo or in parties)

There is not matchmaking for groups vs non-groups

[brisk mantle]

ohh okay

so it can be anything

beautifu

i love it

[dense pine]

everyone loves it before they spend a day getting headshot over and over. then they're not sure for like 6 weeks straight. :D

[brisk mantle]

well i survived my first lol

brb in one !

[haughty escarp]

for some reason i can’t unload my gun in my stash? it says ‘can’t find place for the item’

[dense pine]

is your character full?

or naked?

[waxen forge]

Just double click the weapon and drag the mag out to stash

[haughty escarp]

it doesn’t let me

[unique wind]

i have a question about armor/helm if anyone can jump in BA chat 3

[waxen forge]

Where is weapon?

[haughty escarp]

in my stash

[waxen forge]

What weapon?

Is stash totally full

[haughty escarp]

pp-91

no

[waxen forge]

Double click the weapon

Find mag

In the little boxes

[haughty escarp]

it says that the magazine isn’t examined, but i examined it

[waxen forge]

Drag it off

[haughty escarp]

doesn’t let me

[waxen forge]

Is it examined in the weapon?

The little boxes at the bottom?

[haughty escarp]

yeah

[waxen forge]

Pic

[flat cipher]

scavs really whip and nae nae me sometimes

sad

[waxen forge]

restart game

[haughty escarp]

alright

[slow basin]

Should I sell RB-PS82 key worth 1.3 mil as a new player?? didn't even know i had it

[brisk mantle]

anyones game being choppy ?

[long tendon]

anyone tryna play?

[pliant plank]

#pvp-lfg

[bold kernel]

@slow basin no don't sell it

[pliant plank]

just had to leave like 200k worth of stuff behind on my scav

because my bp was too small

😦

[brisk mantle]

😦

gg

[pliant plank]

still made like 400k tho

scav op

[slow basin]

@bold kernel So it's worth keeping as a new player

Feel like I could use the money to buy cases

[wet moss]

i have a 1x/4x how do i change between the zoom while scoped in?

[celest condor]

Keys only have a value if you are going to use it. Make sure you check prices with Therapist and flea market though.

[young kettle]

Ctrl + right click

@wet moss

[wet moss]

only works when im not zoomed peen

[young kettle]

Oh wait

It’s alt right click my b

[long tendon]

any sherpas trying to help a new player in some raids?

[young kettle]

Should work whether ur scoped or not

[wet moss]

ya alt right click works but i have to unzoom alt right click zoom again

i also have continuous scope tho

[young kettle]

That’s weird. I use a 1x/4x all the time and it works for me

Oh that could be it

[trim herald]

@slow basin As I said, only keep it if you intend to use it. If you aren't going to use it, sell it

[nova pecan]

just had my first run. dont have a proper device for maps beside me. someone willing to take me under their wing for a run or two?

[young kettle]

You can always buy anything back, if ur not using it rn I’d just sell it

[trim herald]

@nova pecan Run offline mode

[young kettle]

Look up maps on the tarkov wiki @nova pecan

[nova pecan]

as mentioned i just dont have anything to have maps on while ingame. makes extractions faily bull. ill look into offline mode

[young kettle]

Use ur phone or something

If you don’t have 2 monitors

[wet moss]

ya continous wont let me

i tried changing all sorts of binds

[young kettle]

Yeah it’s def continuous messing with you

[wet moss]

its oh well i went to press

[young kettle]

I’d get used to toggle ADS or just start descoping when you want to switch variable

[wet moss]

the question is

[young kettle]

This game is so slow I actually like toggle ads more here

[wet moss]

nm

lol

if u hit alt while holding wsa or d it does silly shit

so no moving and trying to switch zoom

[mortal ore]

Can/Should I request a sherpa if I just started playing, or should I play a little myself first?

[wet moss]

request one asap

cause ur gonna wait 10 days

before u get one

they backlogged

[mortal ore]

Cool, thanks

[wet moss]

they will help u regardless

[mortal ore]

Time to lose all my stuff!

[wet moss]

if u are new they will help u with basics, if u got basics down they can help with more detailed shit

[young kettle]

That’s the blindfire shit @wet moss I literally just unbound overhead blindfire so I can check mag and shit while walking

[wet moss]

how do u unbind it

cause i dont like it

at all

looks like i gotta bind it to somethin else cant just unbind

[pliant plank]

lmao am i fighting a wallhacker rn wtf is this

just shot me twice through a wall

[wet moss]

oh i found out how set to lmb then rebind my fire

[digital wing]

After 3 hours, I finally got a scav kill. 2 of them even. Then a third ran around the corner and one tapped me. Now time for me to lay down until my hands stop violently shaking

[deft kelp]

everyone in a group gets the same extract point right?

[trim herald]

@deft kelp On PMC yes, on scavs usually

[pliant plank]

to the hacker in dome i hate u

[bold kernel]

Any recommended cheap ars or smgs?

[pliant plank]

vepr/adar

[bold kernel]

eh

[grizzled fjord]

I'd suggest adar since the decent ammo is cheaper

But the gun itself is more expensive

[trim herald]

Highly doubtful he was hacking

[deft kelp]

what are secure containers for?

[pliant plank]

dude he keeps shooting at me

through walls

[deft kelp]

ie. the alpha container

[trim herald]

Keep shit secure

@pliant plank Long range?

[pliant plank]

very very long range

hes in the dome on reserve

[trim herald]

@pliant plank Sometimes shit doesn't spawn in at range

[pliant plank]

im on the other side of the map in a building and the walls are just getting shot through over and over

[trim herald]

@pliant plank As in, for him you were out in the open

[pliant plank]

thats lame asf

[trim herald]

@pliant plank Because the house didn't render

[pliant plank]

4 houses now

[trim herald]

I guess he could have ESP, but then he wouldn't be shooting at you through walls

As he'd still see the walls

It's likely just shit not rendering for him

[pliant plank]

idk im scared to try to extract since hes up there

[young kettle]

I mean he could have wallhacks idk

Really walls wouldn’t render but the player would?

I could understand with bushes etc. but whole walls that seems pretty fkin bunk

[warped halo]

price check on these items?
monstr 2
hs4014G5
filter
x400

[slim quest]

i know monstr is 30k ish

[young kettle]

X400 is like 12k

[warped halo]

not a terrible haul for a scav run considering I didn't see anyone ty

[deft kelp]

i bought body armor and it said i cant wear it

huh

[warped halo]

@deft kelp afaik I know some tac vests can't be worn with armor

idk about anythin else

[deft kelp]

wait

im fucking stupid

i bought an armored rig

LMAO

[pliant plank]

well i was in a room looting and got hit and lost my entire arm and was like wtf where

i figured i got hit through the window but the glass wasnt broken

[deft kelp]

still armor i guess

[pliant plank]

so i ran into an entirely different room with no window on that side and got hit again

[warped halo]

filter price?

[pliant plank]

and ran out into an entirely different building with NO windows in the room and got hit again

[livid breach]

ak-74m any good? got one off a scav

[young kettle]

Pretty solid with BS rounds

[flat cipher]

is it 7.62

[livid breach]

5.45

[young kettle]

Without BS rounds it’s straight poo

[flat cipher]

ye bs

[young kettle]

The 74s are all 5.45 @flat cipher

[pliant plank]

ayy found 2 boxes of igolnik

[livid breach]

ill just sell it then, dont have much to invest in good ammo

[young kettle]

Not a terrible move. If it has a scope or suppressor I’d sell it separate though

[warped halo]

does anyone know wtf this gun is

[livid breach]

It didn't but I already sell those on the flea anyways

[warped halo]

looks like a mosin idk

with a suppressor

[livid breach]

the akm i found had like a 60k suppressor on it

[warped halo]

and a scav bp

[livid breach]

vpo

[flat cipher]

215

[livid breach]

also, where can i find lots of lightbulbs need them for illumination 2

[bold kernel]

Raids

[flat cipher]

ic

[split vapor]

any tech item location spawn

[bold kernel]

Or flea market

[young kettle]

Interchange tech stores spawn a lot of bulbs @livid breach or just buy em on flea for like 10k

[livid breach]

ok thanks

[pliant plank]

did they change the games font? im watching a veritas video from july 2019 and his game font is different and looks way better than mine

[livid breach]

is night interchange much different?

[young kettle]

Not really

Besides extracting obv

But inside it’s about the same

[warped halo]

If I kill scavs as a scav in customs does it count towards missions?

Or is PMC required

[young kettle]

Nope

[livid breach]

I usually dont have issues when extracting

[young kettle]

Have to be PMC

[warped halo]

unfortunate, thanks

[split vapor]

All kill X things, and Find X doc case are pmc only

Find item X and Find in Raid Item X can be completed as both

[pliant plank]

the worst map at night is reserve imo

cant see shit

game pls

give me

a decent backpack

no more t-bags

[young kettle]

Scav BPs are like 14k lol

[pliant plank]

im talking about my scav spawn

[young kettle]

Oh. You’re lucky to have a backpack lol all I get is a fuckin vest a lot of the time

[pliant plank]

i dont think its that im unlucky i think ur just unlucky

hmmm keep or sell this VSS

[cloud river]

whats the best way to get more space in my stash

[deft kelp]

i think you can up it by upgrading your hideout

[pliant plank]

that takes a while tho

i mean the best way is just upgrade your game edition

[deft kelp]

i mean most people dont want to spend $120 tho lmao

[cloud river]

3 MIL??? TO UPGRADE TO LVL 2

[young kettle]

Ammo case/med case/ mag case @cloud river

Mag and ammo cases are pretty cheap and save a TON of room

[pliant plank]

3 mil really aint that bad

u can farm that in like 2 hours

[young kettle]

Yeah ok lol

[pliant plank]

if u know a decent loot run

[bold kernel]

I feel like I have this issue with team runs where at a certain point the communication breaks down into loot goblin-ing and we all end up dying

4 team runs- 4 failures to extract -400k rubbles

[pliant plank]

how big of a team

?

[bold kernel]

4 solo runs- 4 extracts +~500k

5

[pliant plank]

yeah

thats why lol

[young kettle]

Solo is much easier for sure

[pliant plank]

i wouldnt run with over 3 imo

solo/duo is best

[young kettle]

Fat squad you guys NEED good comms

[pliant plank]

too many people means too many mixed playstyles and comms between that many ppl gets very difficult

and more people = larger target

[bold kernel]

okay

[dense patrol]

Can I drop in dealer level if I complete a task that does -0.12 to that dealers rep?

[bold kernel]

I'll try some duo runs out tomorrow I guess

[split vapor]

Yeah

you can lower trader level

[dense patrol]

ok. thx

[split vapor]

But it is easily gained back by doing another task

[pliant plank]

this is my budget loot run loadout, thoughts?

[dense patrol]

yeah, I was just wondering if it would make a difference if I did a +0.11 quest first, to get me to lvl 2, and then do the -0.12 after, and then keep the lvl 2.

[cloud river]

can anyone carry me through tasks?

idk how to do them

[dense patrol]

There are guides for all of them on the wiki: https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Quests

[clear tapir]

Is it better to break down gear/weapons with expensive-ish attachments and sell individually or sell with the item as a whole?

[glass trout]

on the Vltor FAL foregrip why does it need specifically the Vltor 4in guide on the right side and the 4in keymod on the left side? would think it should be interchangable

[warped halo]

not bad

scav spawned with lab keycard

[royal vale]

!markte

!market

is there any wiki page for flea?

with table of rating

[grave helm]

@clear tapir read your question again, should give u a clear answer. Also single parts are often $$$ more than a fully item. You can sell a moded gun for 240k but the scope itself could cost 190k

[deft kelp]

which vendor sells the mags for TOZ-106 shotty?

[warped halo]

wdym rating

ah

[royal vale]

i got 20 rating and only 4 slots

ah nvm

next increase only at 30

[clear tapir]

Ok thank you for the response @grave helm

[hallow thicket]

what do i keep the flash drive for

[bold kernel]

Tarp. If you have the horrible misfortune to have more guns than space after a successful killing spree, you'd be well served by just stripping the suppressors and sights off the dead guns

[simple steeple]

Well now I know not to queue with randoms

I shoulda expected it lmao

[pliant plank]

can we get an F in the chat for the guy i killed in marked room while he was trying to inventory manage for a money case

[deft kelp]

So do you need loaded mags in your inventory or can you jsut carry the bullets

[slim fern]

From the substation in the upper right corner, which exit is faster?

[deft kelp]

Ie. if I have a toz shotty do i need to carry like 10 4 shot mags or can i just carry 40 shells

[waxen forge]

If you have a toz sell it

And buy another weapon

[slim fern]

you need one mag for the shotty, the rest shells

[wispy jewel]

whats the normal wait time for an assigned sherpa? its been like 2 days since i sent the request and nothing lol

[waxen forge]

We are very busy. Check the sherpa site to make sure there isn't a message in there.

[wispy jewel]

oh okay just curious didnt know if i did something wrong or what lol

[waxen forge]

Yea for example I'm scheduled through the weekend with a couple dozen waiting.

[wispy jewel]

jesus

[simple steeple]

Best of luck to you man

[wispy jewel]

and you're doing this for free

youd think since this is the official discord they would give you something for helping them out right

[waxen forge]

we like to help

[wispy jewel]

oh yeah i know man and we appreciate it but like you're legit spending 8+ hours a day most times to help for free lol

[wet moss]

this is weird.. im like 2 minutes past awaiting session start from when my buddy joined in

we usually load in same time

[wispy jewel]

does that to me sometimes too

[wet moss]

maybe only so many scavs can spawn in at a time?

we usually play pmc

[royal vale]

I wonder how people selling 20+ backpacks like raid, you can't put them all in stash

[wet moss]

hes been in game 4 minutes now...

[dense ibex]

is it worth keeping the lion for something better or should i just use it for the docs bag?

[wet moss]

u can stack bags in bags

[royal vale]

yeah but you can't sell them on flea if it's stacked

you gotta take them out

[wet moss]

i mean if they got eod

[royal vale]

and max you can fit in stash it's like 10-15 if eod

even that it's alot

[wet moss]

i feel like i could fit like 35 scav bp

1 straight 2 turned sideways 3 a block

ima have to try it now

[warped halo]

I swear

if this game removes my filter one more time

how much $$$ should i have saved up

before buying a sicc

[soft light]

@pliant plank 4 mil?

[trim herald]

3.5 mil at least I'd say

[pliant plank]

yeah i was gonna say 3.5-4 in that range

ree im so close

[sour pelican]

Would someone be willing to help me with the jager unlock quest?

[formal hamlet]

woods is tuff

fucking hate that map

[sour pelican]

ive never even done woods

i have gotten by so far by running shoreline and customs pretty much. and looting the less pvp prone areas. like the village in shoreline, or warehouses in customs.

[formal hamlet]

for me, its just a death box, you spawn and eevrybody is just around you

everybody using snipers and next second u die

thats why i luv factory, its so fun and active

[deft kelp]

is there any point to food/water

or is that not implemented yet

[formal hamlet]

yes

[sour pelican]

i think it depends when u play.

[formal hamlet]

to not die

[sour pelican]

during peak hours it gets a little Pepega

lots of sweaty bois

[flat cipher]

what is

factory?

[formal hamlet]

a map

[bold kernel]

What happens if I'm crafting something and run out of gas?

[formal hamlet]

a small map

[candid cypress]

It just craft at a much slower rate I think

[bold kernel]

And upgrading one of my stations as well?

[candid cypress]

I don't think upgrading is affected by wheter your gen is on or off

[formal hamlet]

idk, never ran into that situation

[trim herald]

@deft kelp You need to eat and drink when your hydration and energy gets low. Do it in raid though as you won't get xp for your skills otherwise

How do you loot dog tags? It’s always greyed out for me and I can’t examine it

[inner willow]

[bold kernel]

Kind of like ears, kill trophy

[steady pilot]

Also, war trophies.

[inner willow]

ty

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel HEY

[inner willow]

What map is great for beginning?

[young kettle]

Shoreline

[steady pilot]

THATS MY PFP

[young kettle]

Just avoid pier boat and cinema/resort @inner willow the very top and right sides of shoreline are pretty chill

[brazen owl]

Guys I'm a bit in doubt about how flashbangs work, does the person need to be looking at it?

[young kettle]

Fuck I have no idea I’ve just been using F1 nades

[brazen owl]

I threw a flashbang right by someone and I think a small thrash object on the floor blocked it from affecting the person.

Then dont comment Tuff Peen

[young kettle]

Ok be mad

[inner willow]

Should I lfg if I'm still getting used to the game? I don't want to be handheld and learn nothing

[hushed furnace]

I mean just explain that in your lfg post

[coarse shuttle]

is there a website where u can look up keys prices when ur ingame?

[inner willow]

@hushed furnace I'm dumb

[brazen owl]

@coarse shuttle loot goblin eft on google

[steady pilot]

@inner willow I'm in favor of learning stuff on my own first. Advice from veterans can help accelerate your understanding tho

[young kettle]

There’s tons of new players, if you mention ur new someone will probably be down

[hushed furnace]

@coarse shuttle I use www.eft-loot.com

[coarse shuttle]

thx @brazen owl

[inner willow]

Also, is there a guide online where it's helps identify what items are good for bartering/selling?

[brazen owl]

yes. https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Escape_from_Tarkov_Wiki

[young kettle]

Just sell it all lol

[brazen owl]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Loot

Sell it all is not a good idea as some items "create" more value as you use them in quests or trade them for more valuable items.

[inner willow]

Is it better to save some items that are required further down the line?

[brazen owl]

Up to your gameplay choices.

[snow coral]

That wiki doesn’t tell me how to loot them

I just killed two more players and I can’t loot the tag

Gg

[young kettle]

Screenshot?

Wym you can’t loot the tag

[snow coral]

I ran away, that was in dorms

You know how something looks when you have to examine it

[brazen owl]

@snow coral To loot them just press F

[snow coral]

It’s like that

[proven slate]

is the vepr hunter any good?

[snow coral]

Oh wow

[brazen owl]

Yes. @proven slate

[young kettle]

Is there an actual tag there or just a grey striped spot?

[dawn vapor]

So there was no tag?

[torn ridge]

Anybody doing any sherpa-ing? Sherpaying? Assisting new players?

[young kettle]

Yes it rips, just put m80s in it @proven slate

[proven slate]

is the SV98?

[brazen owl]

I can answer your doubts, @torn ridge

@proven slate yes.
