the guides are always followed by everyone tho so many campers
just trying to ask experienced players here
@trim herald do you have your shoreline cache link by chance?
the shoreline caches are quite safe
What containers should I get to manage my stash? I want to upgrade from putting my things in blackrocks
@onyx zealot that map from rommel is a great, mostly safe run
Possibly
random loot
random loot afaik
it can contain pretty much everything
ah okay
Almost any item in the game can spawn in there
You hit 10-15 of them and you're basically guaranteed to get 300k+
woof it sounds safe but time consuming
@onyx zealot as you learn the map it goes faster
instead of stopping for loot you stop for them
^
dying alot is normal right? .__.
yes
I cant bother starting to learn shoreline for the quests lol
Don't think you have to get GPU and tetriz to make money
That is a very narrow view of how to make money on interchange
cant remember the name of the skill, but the one with increased search speed and "chance of finding better loot". what does better loot really mean?
its just what the first thing to revealed to u is its not really important
loot is generated when the game starts
What leftover said
I dont know about the comment "Increases the chance to find better loot" in the wiki, loot should be the same for everyone in the raid
how do u level skier to ll2?
Should be breaking weapons down and selling to Skier and the rest to mechanic
Loyalty Lvl Required Lvl Required Rep Required Sales in ₽
Lvl 2 15 .20 1,100,000
Lvl 3 28 .40 1,600,000
Lvl 4 35 .75 2,600,000
Should also be sellling him rigs, backpacks, armor, and other clothing you don't want.
Should be buying from his as well when he has items you want/need
any way to spam buy and spam sell him like prapor or therapist?
with minimum money loss

Can buy 10 of something from him and sell them right back to him if you are close to get over the hump. WILL LOSE money on the transactions though
Overall though you should be selling 99% of all weapons to trades. Break into parts and sell to skier then rest to mechanic.
Its quicker to just buy and sell stuff back
@neat garnet i bought usec caps from ragman and sold them to skier
Rigs/armor/backpacks, hats, etc should be going to Skier
what you can do for minimal losses is buy stuff, resell on flea for the same price as skier i think
or lower
that kinda works only for jaeger
No buy from Skier and sell right back to skier since both transaction count towards 'spent"
why is this game realistic?
ACTIVATE WINDOWS
because if you fuckup you die
Honestly if you are using traders and not overusing flea then getting your "spent" up with traders isn't hard
i really only had problems leveling ragman or jaegers money
ragman usec caps are minimal losss
Jaeger yes...he doesn't have much early on
jaeger mp133 no loss
hes pretty useless even at level 2
The question was about Skier though
therapist best girl, i sold hundreds of gold chains to her
because i dont bother with flea
what did they add in the update?
skier 3 was lackluster
So if he were breaking down weapons and selling parts to Skier then rest to mechanic he would be getting "spent" up with each transaction
skier 4 too
therapist u can literally just buy bitcoins on flea and sell them to her
u dont lose any money
@harsh ibex it was a bunch of bug fix
ok thx
New patch fixed a load of bugs but broke the hideout pretty bad
it did?
yeah i cant craft sp-6
Can't craft and if you die you walk around in the death animation
what do u mean if u die u walk around in death animation?
about offline raids, what's the most online-like setup? Online difficulty with bosses on? or something else?
As in you walk around the hideout with your view at 45 degrees
oof
victory royale
THICCCCC BOY
Running around with a weapons case but a budget AK 🤔
marked room maybe
the top AK is mine
he is doing marked runs
the bottom was him
I think got marked room
and then i got him
but I found him in shortcut
guess he thought nobody else would have a key
That makes more sense
should always run bs
I run BP cuz budget
BS isn't that expensive. Its like 600 a round
more like 960
Oh im thinking of BT.
How do i put an item on the flea market
5
go to trade
then click flea market
then add offer
right click the item and click filter by item to judge its value on said market
@novel pendant depends on if u need the extra space it gives or not
Mate
Save Wcase for your weapon
these guns are mehhh
u might have a hoarding problem
what's a good budget pistol that can melt T4-6 that you could easlily replace every raid
Btw, if you don't need some guns just sell it
in the last few days ive gotten better
also remove grip and mags from weapons to save space @novel pendant
thanks @ left
I used to have no guns
last 4-5 days
ive been killin it
thanks to all the help in here >.<
#beginnergang
beginner squad
id get rid of the 9mm guns
tbh
or use them on loot runs or something
theyre kinda worthless
what 9mm guns?
9mm sucks big tiome
i have presets for them
so when i need an ak I just preset and go
but as you can see..
i may have too many..
Any good full auto budget loadouts with good recoil under 100k?
i had a rlly good scav run on reserve where i killed some raiders. how often do the raiders spawn and how can i find them more
they spawn when you hit the switch @open flower
its like 50k
when the alarm goes off
@slow basin Plenty, but the ammo is expensive
@novel pendant dude, sell any guns you won't use in the next 2 hours
i have a 180k verson and a 50k version lol
is that what spawns them? ty
WHen will the next wipe be?
@fast rivet instead of trading i always just run back into raid >.<
smh
@bold kernel About 4 months
do they just spawn near the armored train?
in the train yard yeah
cool thanks

when is the wipe?
look up a couple lines
dont tell me what to do
@regal falcon 4 months or so
So if you are a scav what will trigger other scavs to attack you?
Is it only if you kill one of them
Killing a scav
I think its just hurting one.
However on maps other than Factory it's a proximity thing
ohh I was wondering. I was on factory
So if on customs you kill a scav at big red the scavs at construction won't be agro
On factory kill one and they will all agro
Also you cannot be certain player scavs won't just shoot you on sight.l
Plus Factory is not a beginner map
Honestly I feel like its easier
It is not
It is not representative of the maps in the game or the play style needed to play those maps. It is pure pvp and EFT COD.
Also flipping off scavs enough via the hand gestures will cause them to shoot you
any way to make scavs spawn at the start of an offline raid?
They'll spawn automatically after a minute or two. No way to force it.
Not that I know of. Each set of scav levels (low through horde) has a max number of scavs (46 for factory on high, etc) and they spawn in set waves. I usually don't get any on my warmup offline run until 1 minute in or so.
anyone want to play
Ya give me 6 hours to get off work
how do you get epsilon?
Hello friends 🙂
Is it hard to complete?
Not hard per se, but it may take a couple days.
Does it involve killing a horde of scavs?
Later ones requires a good deal of PMC kills.
Each match?
Which map?
No, just total
That's not too bad
Yuh
You can easily get a few hatchlings a round on shoreline / reserve
Punisher 4, 5, and 6 start getting into PMC kills.
Then after 6 u get it?
Yeah.
Can a non noob explain what im seeing here please? because i am beyond confused
sniped him in the thorax
only hit 1 shot before i died
Looks like the bullet fragmented.
@fast hill Fragment
how the fuck did he not die tho?
Feels bad man
Where is he holding the gun?
just below where i shot
So likely arms
"Bullets can also fragment when penetrating a player's body, dealing 50% bonus damage to that limb"
Bullet travels slightly below your crosshairs
As the barrel is slightly below your optic
im so salty i didnt manage to kill him...
At close ranges
is there any lore about KIlla?
!wiki killa
He's mad
Why is the LedEx so expensive?
okay thanks @trim herald and @royal wind
used in quests i think @bold kernel
And I think you need one for the med station hideout.
The most fun guy to level
I don't have jager unlocked
how many ledx for the thicc case?
Okay so no lore about killa, does anyone know why he's alone?
Probably 2-3
Did you click that link Bams?
and hes a russian tank in a human body
Yeah I saw that on the wiki, but that's about it
Why is he alone though, wandering on interchange
can i still lvl up skills in offline mode?
no
k thx
Well since you didnt READ the wiki I'll do the leg work for you.
"Be well, soldier. Do you like to go shopping? So I used to love it, we had a shopping center. It was nice to spend time there, but as everything fell, there was no time for entertainment anymore, the stores quickly plundered, and that they didn’t plunder all kinds of scum took over as places of theirs. I heard that He sat there alone - a former athlete, he had racketed before the war, and now he felt the power, more power than ever, he kills everyone indiscriminately. People call him Killa and he has such a helmet ... you won’t miss it. Get rid of him, people will just say thank you."
I literally have the wiki page in front of me
and that text isn't in it
The last thing I'd do in this channel is take you guys for idiots.
"According to Jaeger in Huntsman path - Sell-out, Killa was a former athlete. " You click on that link and it takes you to that text.
Just gotta follow the crumbs.
@karmic meadow I recommend you look a bit before insulting someone and making a fool of yourself
@fallen hollow 10
He didn't insult anybody. Take it down a notch.
@bold kernel Please re read what I wrote
Okay so this actually makes a lot more sense now
Jaeger has quests for each boss, with a tiny backstory for each one.
That's so awesome.
Fuck jaeger though
Yeah Jaeger is a bitch
Shitty quests outside of boss hunting ones
"Hey I need you to eat some spicy mayonaise and sit in a bush for 5 minutes."
is it a good idea to spend my own money to level up traders by buying and selling their own stuff back to them? or should i take the time consuming route to sell to them what i find in raids?
Man how do I counter campers, been dying a lot lately to people sitting in bushes or behind doors
@bold kernel buy from trader, sell it on the flea market
@main light grenades work well if you know where they are
I don't I get hit by surprise
@main light Thermals, good armour and map knowledge
Thermals are quite far away, I'm still new
but yeah I might invest more into armour
Headsets help you hear them rustling
Map knowledge will be your best counter. You'll eventually learn where people like to post up.
Also sprinting is super loud. If you are running around people will hear you for miles and ambush you
If all that doesnt work to play Quake on factory
Sprinting is loud.. that's why I always go prone and crawl to where I'm going.
Crawling is actually pretty loud too. Crouch walking is your quietest movement
So they added a UI to select the items you want to use for crafting.. except it doesn't let you select specific items?
Can you silence an adar?
yes
havin trouble
uhh
I don't know how but I'm pretty sure I have a silenced one in my inventory
lemme enter
even on the "modding" screen
doesnt it show me ALL weapon options
the dropdowns have nothing
@novel pendant It'll only show you items that you've examined.
i examined everything on the flea market just now
m4a1 upper
"modding" only goes off the items you have in your stash
The lower is what makes it an m4 vs an Adar
"Edit Preset" shows you every available option.
pigeons your a beast
i knew that part
anyone looking to get into a game
but couldnt see the muzzle variations due to wrong preset menu
Correct, that's what still makes it an ADAR
Just cause you an I suppose. Chances of it being empty are slim.
I mean it is a satisfying animation
Since reloads automatically chamber a round there's really no point to it, but it's cool that it's there I suppose.
Plenty of people forget to check the chamber in stash after buying a gun off the flea market, and often the chamber will have a shit round in it. Nothing worse than going for a clean headshot and it dinking off a helmet because you forgot to pull the 5.45 T round out for BS.
But other than that... useless lol
Chamber check doesnt help for that though. It just shows that the gun is loaded, pretty sure it doesnt show you the ammo type.
Ah. Well then, useless lol
I've never actually used it, I just assumed that was the function
Nah, it just half opens the chamber so you can a round is loaded, that's pretty much it.
gz
ez pz thats all i wanted to do, thanks @remote flume
Like, with a pistol, as soon as you switch to it; it automatically chambers a round.
@royal wind
Uh oh, Pigeon is going to come in here all mad.
lol, I told him to turn his notifications off for this server, it happens a lot.
should I remove the grips and mags of all weapons in my stash?
Its a good way to create space.
If you’re low on space
Time to liquidate some assets
I have tons of guns. I'm going to break down and get rid of a lot of mine.
Gonna break down all the AK74's I have and just dump them.
I have to have at least 15 with no mags/grips and folded up filling an item case.
But I'm too cheap to buy BS ammo so I'll never really use them.
Just gonna toss them.
nade cases are coming
I hope they aren't too expensive
cases are always expensive
grenade case in the backpack for max kobe
okay
i wonder if they will add flak vests to the armour system
thats a lot of adars
noob guns that look nice
adars and aks
i prefer the AK but i dont mind ADAR with good ammo
i dont understand why anyone roles adars
M855A
looks clean
cuz were poor and its an m4a1 joe
i dont rly get how player scavs spawn. so players spawn all at the start of the round and scavs can spawn at any time?
yeah but veprs are super budget and shoot big dick rounds
well, I practiced enough to see the KEDR is not enough against most armor 😦
Most scavs had their helmets fucked up, instead of dying in a few headshots

Fyi
m61s double tab tier 6 in the chest
And less than 1 % of players take lvl 6
is that a real stat?
Level 6 is rare, yes.
i always wear heavy zhuk when im trying to pvp
If there is anyone that want a free key for Shoreline worth about 180k pm me

🙂
In most cases its lvl 5 for geared pmcs
gzhel 
And nearly 80% are using lvl 4 or lower
Yeah, Outside of labs you rarely see level 6 in the wild.
^
i mean even in labs ive not seen a lot above 5
Hey guys, I put a gun part in the market and it turned red to "out of stock" and It's blocking one of my selling slots.. how do I fix this??
yes
Even lvl 5 is still on the rarer end
zhuk6a is a level 6 i see fairly often but its dummy expensive to repair so i just sell it
@narrow moat it’s a terrible glitch and you wait until the item expire limit happens.
doesnt repair great for its price
I lost all of my slots the other day to this and couldn’t sell anything
Should I always be aiming for scavs heads?
yes?
or at least the exposed parts of the head
Head shots are typically the best
I put 6 rounds from a makarov in him and then I get fucked
then hit him in the head
Cause pistol rounds are unreliable
Thanks!
square in the face would doit
I don't have much else
And you probably missed due ti recoil and accuracy
Supposedly the glitch occurs when people auto buy parts for guns through weapon modding. So, avoid selling your weapon parts on the market unless they’re gonna give you way more than a trader. To minimize risk or losing your other slots.
^
or did he have a helmet?
no
Scavs can have armour btw
I wish the heal time was faster
you can manually heal
Its fine where it is
I feel like im wasting my money on AI-2s to heal out of raid
and if you level up your hideout it goes faster
you can upgrade it later
or be like me and accidentally buy 51 AI-2s
Secondly grizzly is the most cost effective healing item
I did that but with painkillers
they really need to fix that, its been in the game far to long
that phantom 1
wasted 100k right off the bat
should I sell a helmet with the visor or separately?
this exhaustion status they added to the game is real ass


Exhaustion?
is there a stock that i can put on the vepr km that will fold?
All the "wait to play" mechanics are real ass
nerfs your level up abilities in raid up to 80%
no theyre not @young geyser
Oh, that.
Thays how its supposed to be @snow hedge
So people cant grind shit and get op stats
What armor should i look into for The Punisher pt4 quest where i have to wear the scav west ? I usually/always use 6b3tm but its a armored rig so i am gonna have to wear the scav vest + the armor, so what i wanna know is some okayish armor for it ?
they just added that shit in december but didnt re-roll everyone who already exploited the shit out of it
so plebs are stuck
wear trooper or something ig
Nikita said stats are supposed to be leveled up after a year of playing, this will be manageable on release
Secondly skills will be overhauled
Thirdly wipe is in a few months
I wonder how they'll rework them
right, i understand when the game is released having this but beta when we wipe
like get real
keyword beta
im level 35 and my strength is level 6
@sullen kindle I think 6b13 is decently priced, but it doesnt repair well.
keyword game hasnt released yet
i have a weak chin
We are testing the game
@royal wind I'll look into it thx
That's what a beta is for
keyword progress reset on release
I usually used 6b23 or 6b13, for level 3 or 4.
Everything is subject to change and doesnt represent final product
doesnt really matter what happens now
the game resets many times before release, and I understand what your saying but you cant test skills if you cant level them before the next wipe
you just get the skill but better
There is nothing new to be gained from them
shut down the servers boys, the wiki has the info who needs to play
is this channel just a bunch of people hoping to become sherpas defending everything they do regardless of how shite?
How many shots does it take to kill a scav with a sks
No. A place to help people regardless of title
1 in the face frow
@main light 1-2
Yeah but I can't aim for shit I guess
Been dying to scavs a lot with the sks
a place to help people and not a place to get annoyed over a skill system cuz u personally don't like it @snow hedge

you just slap a laser on it and hipfire like the pros
Can I slap a laser as a level 5
skier level 1 sells the tbl I think @main light
I made a comment on it @vale arrow and someone else commented on my comment, this is commonly referred to as a conversation
Is SKS that bad ?
oh I have that one
Noice, I'll try it out and get a laser
You tell me @sullen kindle
It's not that it's bad, it's just not really worth it's price.
For the price, the shitty reloads, and shitty ironsight
Oh wow thats a lot of red on SKS lol
And worst accuracy
Sks is pretty bad.
I was just thinking of modding one for my Punisher quest on Shoreline for PMC kills lol
what exactly does accuracy do?
where its off target a little
Does bringing a fuel tank in raid & having it refilled automatically when you go in still work?
Nope
hm
so i get that this game takes place in russia and all
one question is tarkov located in russia?
but why does there have to be 20 AK variants
Ahem, so.. I just recieved my insured items, put everything in my stash and then got an error and lost everything
any clues?
Thank god
you could also try restarting the game
I'll do that
I mean, there's like 10 AR variants as well.
@fair edge because we cant control the hard milling of a wire stock or dovetail
Ok, 6, that may have been an exaggeration.
Akm is the modernized ak47. M typically stands for modernized. The N stands for night scope but really it just means there's a dovetail there for optics. S Stands for wire stock / folding stock. U is basically paratrooper shorty barrel/folding stock. B is suppressed variant. AK 74M is the modernized AK74. 74M is the ak100. All ak100 series rifles come with a dovetail and folding stock and have more accurate barrels. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
oh, there was a trade for 2 gphones and i thought it's an independent item
Nah, it's the same.

Btw
can i buy superwater off the flea market?
Hmm looks like a sketchy link

Not the correct result? Use !wiki page superwater for a direct link.
Honestly can't remember. I just filter by item.
ah ok
What’s the best tt ammo
There isn't any, TT blows 😦

anyone happy to assist me?
!wiki ballistics
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.
All the data displayed below is the product of NoFoodAfterMidnight. This page is aimed at spreading the knowledge he uncovered, and making it easy to understand for new players.
With what @wind aurora
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.
To request a sherpa visit #sherpa-info and click the link.

Wiki much more easy to read
are servers good for yall?
I just extracted as a scav, and I have a black loading screen now for like 3-4 minutes and I can still hear things happening in game, wtf is going on
I can't see apsx on that chart
anyone know what to do when this happens?
Are there issues with the servers? First time I try to play since the update and I can't get into any raids
you dead
is this a fucking joke
i went to extraction
fully kitted
i get through
get into a black loading screen
and hear how i get shot
^^ same thing is happening to me
this happens daily
I still hear shots, I extracted like 5 minutes ago
it is still in beta tho so we cant blame them
aight so
it wont let me reconnect
and forces me to disconnect
losing all my shit
nice
servers are down probably
Don't worry guys you'll get your stuff in insurance
ye, something going on, can't match
hopefully the other dude who probably killed me also got the same issue and i get insurance
Sounds like everyone having issues
maybe a hotfix?
Any optimization guide that you guys would recommend
Last time this happened to me I actually got everything back including meds and ammo
So they must have rolled back
@bold kernel I was on a scav run tho... well, whatever...
it actually lets me go on a scav run again now instantly
so it must have rolled back or idk
Same scav loadout or new scav
same loadout
Cool
server crashed on me after extraction as pmc
@karmic meadow you just need to keep on resarting your game until it stops well thats what ive done and its worked
Okay !
this thing's dying, don't do anything
If i lost connection and dont manage to rejoin the raid bfore it ends, do i loose my insured stuff?
i need help, i just extracted as my pmc after a very success raid but it got stuck loading out of the raid so i restarted my game and now it says for me to reconnect to the raid but whenever i reconnect it says server connection lost
what do i fo?
@unique bay if no one kills you and takes your stuff your insured stuff will come back
Servers are down Gussy
servers crashed, you'll get your stuff back
You should get what you entered the raid with back
@fallen hollow yeh i know that, but when you go MIA u loose it anyway
Oh i see
well i got my stuff back
It happend once to me, lost connection in doorms and loost my ak and everything
you probabbly got killed
If you lose connection due to a server error and never reconnect you get your loadout back
if you time out of a raid, you dont get insurance
unless you drop it
before the time runs out
Then i wont loose my ak105, i hope
Did it just happen?
I was makin my way to dorms in a night raid, and then i sudenly lost connection with 9 min on the timer
And was abot 5 min ago
If the server went down completely then you should get it back.
Oh 5 mins ago yeh
Yeah the servers are down, you'll probably get rolled back to when you entered the raid.
Oh, nice~
I didnt want to loose that gun tbh
Ok did I read the patch note correct but do we not get xD from crafting in hideout anymore?
say i insure my backpack and i drop it with uninsured stuff in it will i get all of the stuff back or only the backpack
You dont get looting xp from it no
Fussy only what you insured and only if nobody takes it out
ah ok and its gussy not fussy
Sry autocorrect
Ignis it just says xp in the patch notes
Is it only looting Xp they removed or all hideout xp
i think the only thing i despise about this game is the extensive matching period
15 plus minutes all morning
It’s a patch day...
yeah, true
its been happening all week. but I'm patient

Latest patch notes about no more xp from crafting in hideout
You get no more xp for crafting now
I never noticed xp in the first place but I’m always crafting stuff like mag boxes and salewas
Now you don't get any
Was it a lot before?
why is the scav matching time so long
No idea
Because it’s scav
@willow geyser Tarkov servers have been overloaded the last couple weeks due to the massive influx of players due to twitch popularity. BSG is actively working on installing more servers as we speak, have patience and the game will go back to 1-3mins of matching queue time. They are extremely uncomfortable/overwhelmed at the moment with the mass influx of players , this game wasnt meant to handle that yet. You can keep up with their updates via #eft-announcements and Twitter. If you are matching for more than 10mins it's either the server or a matching bug, back out and try again or try another map. Make sure your servers are on autoselct within client or select a lot more servers in client. You will also experience trouble with bugs in stash and fleamarket cause of server stress, this stuff happens in a beta.
Go pmc
If you’d like I am happy to bring you along on reserve as pmc you can be my little loot goblin
Just going for the raider kills and boss kills
I think we had like 3 newbies yesterday end up with stupid amounts of gear
Did the same on interchange because we had to kill scavs
cpjet could i come?
how long can you survive on 0% water?

Then if you have cms or surv fix it
Or you can just eat and drink while you’re on your way to exfil
yeah, I'm a scav tho, so none of that stuff, that's why I'm asking what happens at 0% 😛
cpjet what would you run if we did a reserve run
The issue is when your energy is at zero you can’t get stamina anymore
I mean I’ve been having fun popping raiders with my pistol
But if you want to go with a kit I’d probably budget run my sa58
ive been loving a mosin and glock 18 run recentlly
Should I buy a Lucky scav box or an Items case?
Lucky
MOSIN MAAAAAAAAANN
IF you are planning on collecting task items/hideout items
TAKE ME BY THE HAND
Alright,
scav box is better
i HATE the decrease map server times
My scav box is full after like 3 days lol
its full of junk that i probabbly dont need'
I collect tasks / hideout items starting day 1 and that way I can turn them in when I get the task. Due to hideout I had 2 junk boxes this wipe.
Because once your hideout is fully upgraded now you can use it to store thing for crafting
Can anyone tell me how much is a full gen4 hmk on flea? I m thinking about upgrading to lvl 5 armor
No idea probably like 120?
Go kill raiders on labs or reserve you get those all the time
Really good armor
Repairs super well
cpjet want to do a reserve run?
Sure waiting on food delivery rn should be here in 20ish meet me in voice channel
Ok
cpjet what one?
5D
Looking for some people to run with, im new.
What maps do raiders spawn on? I've never seen one yet
Labs and reserve
That explains it
Ah yes the ol server down
Is VSS any good as a sniper ?
Should I keep my rbbk key?
Not really Goran. It has a crazy drop that's hard to figure out at range.
Unless you’re using the Russian scopes that have range finders build in
There's just no room for error with the VSS at ranged. Your range estimates have to be dead on. So it's more viable as an AR than a sniper.
HEYGUYS
help pls?
itsnot lettring me extract?
it just counts downand does nothing
Probably the wrong extract point
nope its not
Are you at the RUAF roadblock?
twotunnels on customs
Because that extraction doesnt work often.
Counting down and not exfil is a server issue
Two tunnels?
Only 1 is a guaranteed exit
yeah
ZB-1011 is guaranteed
we tried both
i tried 1011 and now at1012
not working
fuck
what do we do
13 minutes left
If it's a server issue...go find a good bush
Task manager close the game
Restart game
Reconnect
May work
okay okay
NO esc and "disconnect"
i wont
Task manager close
ill alt f4 or task manager
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.

@devout leaf

@waxen forge I reconnected, 1012 is now question marks, itried1011 and its still not working :/

Is there a google doc where i can check mark all the items needed for quests and hideout?:)
Task Items:

Hideout requirements:
Thanks!
best ammo for TT?
not helpful
look up the ballistics page on the wiki.
thx
Pst (I think) for face shields, lrnpc for legs
ty
@daring mauve VO × Ti × 4PO + VR × Tr × 4PR × Q
VO is the total value of the offer, calculated by multiplying the base price of the item times the amount.
VR is the total value of the requirements, calculated by adding the product of each requirement base price by their amount.
PO is a modifier calculated as log10(VO / VR).
If VO is less than VR then PO is also raised to the power of 1.08.
PR is a modifier calculated as log10(VR / VO).
If VO is greater or equal to VR then PR is also raised to the power of 1.08.
Q is the "quantity" factor which is either 1 when "Require for all items in offer" is checked or the amount of items being offered otherwise.
Ti and Tr are tax constants currently set to 0.025.
30% of this commission will be deducted if the player has constructed the level 3 Intelligence Center.```
I dont even think you can leg a guy with the TT honestly.
Lrnpc one taps legs
oh greez taht's a lot of math
Yeah, sure it'll black out a leg in one shot but you have to land literally the entire magazine to kill with legs.
I had to do the math to make sure it could even kill with 7 shots.
reserve is worth running without keys
Don't you have 7+1 though?
I know but with keys
Only if you reload, but sure.
Doesn't the TT have 7 round mags?
Yeah.
what's the effective distance of the as val with the best ammo?
I mean, you can do it in 7. That wasn't really the point.
@waxen forge on the task spreadsheet, green means found in raid?
Yes
Ok
@bold kernel Ammo doesn't really affect range, I'd estimate around 50-75m for most players
400m if you're tower
would you pick hk 416 or as val?
What map?
reserve
Yeah, I'd take the 416.
556 is accurate to 400m+
AS Val I'd save for interchange or Labs, and probably Customs.
I feel most Customs engagements arent that far.
Pssh... I just ignore Factory altogether when thinking about this game.
I mean, it's not a bad philosophy
Who is helping noobs?
You'll be drinking from a firehose if you ask questions here, so go ahead.
If you're looking for in-game help though you may have to go the sherpa route.
The answer is yes, plenty of people here helping noobs.

What do these mean?
The buildings have those painted on them, so they mark them like that on the map.
I see
whats the best way to get the cash spent requirement from skier
or rather the one that doesnt lose me much cash
can someone send me a picture of good modded sks cause i need to make one
is warmage any good against armor? or should i go straight with m995?
warmage is good against scav thats it
Warmage is a flesh dmg round. Aim for legs or unarmoured areas
can someone send me a picture of good modded sks cause i need to make one
slap it with scope and you good 😛
@bold kernel wm is garbage. 855A1 is good though
i need some more mods for this to do gunsmith part 1 what more i need?
muzzle for sure but what helps with recoild
!wiki gunsmith part 1
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_1
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page gunsmith part 1 for a direct link or !wiki search gunsmith part 1 for a list of all hits.
Are there any websites where people post gun builds they use? Most of the youtube videos I find are for expensive attachments and etc. Looking for early game / budget friendly guns.
theres plenty of youtube videos out there on gun modding
wait what do you consider expensive attachments
but when i was more broke i would just linked search my guns and click on other parts for my favorite gun to see what it can use
This one I found the total cost was 247,063
best shotgun? even long range
for an M4A1
I heard, AKM is the best to build off of?
they're cheap and get the job done
dunno i havent gotten too into modding them
ive only modded the vepr/adar/mosin
ak+drum clips=love
usually my additions are just 100k- extra
Hm. I just need to find a few attachments that REALLY help and then I can work with the bare minimum
best way to determine that is first going to the ammo chart then looking at shotguns that can use it @bold kernel
aye start with linked searches
Linked Searches will show what goes for that gun and etc?
yup
Sweet. That'll help a ton.
sometimes you need to link search a wep part that goes on the wep
but like i said look at guides on wep modding in tarkov
its a legit minigame in itself rofl
yeah. the weapon modding is a game / managing your stash is a game / flea market is a game
I've only been playing for about 2 weeks so still learning everything
stash management is ez just sell everything you dont use rofl
lvl 4 looking for someone to help me learn. Potential group would be nice
I've been holding onto stuff because I dunno what to use for quests for sure. I am stockpilign stuff for my hideout requirements.
nah i just sell and buy when needed
its a shame you cant manage inventory when loading into the game
although que times havent been bad for the most of this last week
Yeah I noticed my queue have been like a minute or two this week? But when I played with friends Monday night we were experiencing 10+ minute queues
I've been loving it but I think my friends hate dying and losing their shit
For me when I die and lose stuff I know I can just get more on a good SCAV run
lol getting it back is pretty easy though
and yeah exactly
its just all about using a kit you can afford until you have alot more to play with
once you're able to run a silencer+good scope you're legit set
Yeah. I am basically just wanting basic loadouts to take in my PMC runs and not wasting money
who posted that sks spread sheet
@snow hedge SKS vs VPO-136?
the one where it just dumps on the sks
Yeah, pretty sure it was Delta.
how much is m61?
About 1.1k I think
lol my scav spawned with 60
Damn, thats lucky
wtf
what?
yeah thats a lot of M61
ded
anyone else unable to ADS properly with some guns?
need help north america
@clear stag wdym?
wait, what's the name of the scav boss at customs?
@devout salmon you can request a sherpa in #sherpa-info or ask for in raid help in #pvp-lfg it is possible for people to join you in this chat, however it is unlikely. This chat is more for specific questions about the game like how to get to a certain exfil
@strange axle reshala
Or dealmaker
