But I'm still on the level where Im comfortable on customs and sometimes go woods but piss my pants
So labs won't be a great idea for me
woods is ez u dont need armor
woods you don't need armor
woods is a sniping map , i normally run svd with thermal
cuz you'll get one tapped either way
Makes sense
Well thanks for the tips but imma head into factory for this fucking skieer quest
how much is that per set?
500k i'd say
this set cost like 1.5 mill
just the armor
Oof
the p90 best mods im guessing?
p90 doesnt have much mpds
any trades worth or should i just sell
i gotta try that sometime
and then you have guys like me
If you're low level, sell, If you're high enough for that one quest, do the quest and then sell @grave stump
bams , i hope ur running m995
You need a bunch of dogtags, I forget for who. Just google dogtag task tarkov
ok i havent done that yuet ill keep
what map do u run that on? , 24x scope on a dmr?
Or its for a good tradeup or smth
I'm not there yet eiuther clarkey, but I sold them all
I think you need money more in the beginning
volkov could u send a picture of the mods on the p90 ima try that tomorrow
well
interchange/shoreline
i am entering a raid rn but
do it after if u can π
its just using a suppressor ( short barrel ) pk-06
if i die then its lost π
ill do it inraid
ok thanks XD
@zenith cipher
The weapon case spawn on customs is on the 3rd floor of dorms right?
yea
marked room
if ur going up the stairs its on the left
Right
anyone in a match?
furthest down and u will know which one it is
Thanks guys
rip
another hatching tried stab me to death
I seem to be missing something, I just cannot zoom out my 6.5x-20x
XD
while i haeled
then
as i was healing again i just get shot by some dude
idk how 3 people spawned so goddamn close
never happened before
it happened to me yesterday i spawned pretty much on a guy
my raid lasted like 4 seconds
stupid game
In interchange should I run like the border of the whole map for stashes?
Or run in the mall?
Actual pmc run
yea
Not knife running
shoreline is the only map i have been playing recently
anyone? how do I zoom out my 6.5-20x
ledex spawns have been buffed on every map
before that i used to find a ledex every 2 runs
found a red keycard just sitting there once
@silver dome techlight only has 4 gpu spawns
omgh
sure then
whats a good build to go with for gear?
Budget? Or no money cares
How budget are we talking
generally every ~8months
every big patch / new map basically
idk tbh
Like 100 days or so
so im guessing its gonna be hard starting now? seeing as people will be kitted
no
imma still start tho
everyone is kitted after 4days anyways
oh lol
oh right
Lots of new players, and reality is the kit does not matter that much. You can still kill the thickest sweatiest dude quickly with a cheap ass gun.
prob even end of summer
and a shit ton of new players got introduced to the game last month
Is Operation Aquarius a quest that I can avoid safely?
is server machine still broke?
doesn't seem worth doing since it subtracts Skier rep, and only unlocks army bandage for me
do the task, it unlocks others.
it also doesn't look like it's a pre-req for any other quest
looking at the wiki right now, and after operation aquarius pt. 2, there's nothing else
yeah I just double checked. Not much there.
Anyone wanna play together? im new though
so it looks like there's an optimal way to prioritize quests, instead of doing whatever
Guess you could skip them. I have just always done as many tasks as possible for XP and level myself up.
tbh the tasks are the least fun part of this game
i'll only do them for necessary unlocks and rep, then just abandon them
between , server lag thats fukin horrible , moving glitches and other glitches , plus some times 20 minutes waiting for a game there is no fun
Hey Stinky, want to hear good news?
like, Skier's Stirrup quest has minus rep with Prapor/Therapist, and all it leads to is a quest where I have to pay therapist for extra rep if I'm less than 0.6 rep with her
and all it unlocks is a Vepr AKM
then there's nothing else afterwards
you probably arent a high enough level for the rest of the quests
whats better an HK or M4?
The first time you showed me your interchange underground run I was at 1mil, barely holding, today I broke 10Mils, and only did your run once.
Your builds are sick
Excellent.
π
I'm not forgeting that hahaha
You already did by saying thank you.
Do you play labs?
are the servers back?
If you really feel the need to give something away, donoate to a new player giveaway.
Not a labs fan.
Ah shucks, we could've done a run, card would be on me
And yeah, I'm trying to pass on the knowledge you all gave me here
Tossing MP-133s here and there, opening marked rooms on dorms etc
By the way, since you're a M1A master
do you think it's possible to make the gun more of a CQC/Mid range gun?
I know it's not suited for it, but I want to make it work
laser sight + canted ironsight?
shorter barrel. SASS stock is going to give you best ergo. But yeah it can be a CQB beast. Just mash the mouse buttong nad load with 50 round drums.
Oooh I never thought about the barrels
Is the recoil reduction a thing with the length?
you will get a little more recoil. But it is still managable.
hell brign in a budget M1 and hipfire the bastard into ground meat.
Okay, I'll look onto that
You need for the m1a is the stock build and a suppressor and a scope
Silencer's better than this?
I prefer muzzle brakes. Don't really care about the sound.
Yeah me neither, if I'm CQC the other guy will throw my position anyway
Find most players will hear you regardless. Only benefit, imo, of a supressor is hiding muzzle flash.
Why did prapor randomly send me a dogtag case
Which can be massive in a night raid....
Suppresors are more useful on the bigger maps.
He sent me message saying something about experience then gave me dogtag case
I'll wait for thermal scopes to be nerfed in order to play night atm
Did I get it as reward for leveling up?
@sterile dagger Did you watch the devblog today?
Yeah
@sterile dagger There was a twitch drop stream earlier
Thats why.
that's how you got it
But i didnt get drops
that's the drop
That IS a drop.
the dog tag case
Because it got sent after?
i need some advice so I have an adar, 2 aks and an ak103 im usec, should I keep the adar and stockpile US weapons and sell the aks or should I just sell the adar, empty out the mags and keep the bullets and just stick with the AK's
Bro, you got a drop. What do you want us to tell you?
they gave me 5 shturman keys LAWL
someone told me later on as you level up you get more proficiency with your factions weapons
That's not implemented yet.
Lul, I got 3gpus and a redut
redut?
so i just got my first bitcoin should i just sell it and just got 2 AESA's from drops
im gonna do some reserve runs if someone wants to join for some hands on experience dm me
Last I saw bitcoins were over 150k. At that price the barters are useless and you should just sell them.
sp6 is best ammo for vss right?
@royal wind ok thanks π
Guys does anyone want to run reserve tomorrow I have keys
thanks but that doesnt help me much
learn to read the chart and youll be golden for any ammo change thats gonna cometowards the game
are servers still fuckd?
1 row is flesh damage aka how much the bullet will do if it penetrates your armor
Ye
second row is penetration which tells you how easy of a time it has to penetrate through armor
third row tells you how much damage it will inflict onto armor
the rest doesnt really matter
okay ?
but that still doesnt tell me what i should run as they both have their pros and cons
7n9 spp sounds good but idk
well what do you consider good ammo ?
usually you want to penetrate armor
so that means the higher pen the better
but theres also round which lack fleshdamage
for example 7.62x54r SNB
if i have a kill 15 scavs in woods quest, does it only count as pmc or as scav too?
only pmc
Cant do quests as a scav
scavs cant do quest
alright
ay got 5 shturman keys and just got fort armor 2 drops from the event they are all comming in now
So, from the youtube videos I watch to lvl up recoil/assault rifle I just have to do grindy repetitive things, but isn't this style been nerfed with the introduction of Exhaustion? If so, how do I level up these stats?
healthcare privacy pt5, cant plant gunpowder, any idea what im doing wrong?
so if im looking for a sherpa to help me with some early tasks, what channel do i use?
are the servers working?
@woeful plinth try the "Sherpa HUB" discord
How do you bring up the Crouch/endurance stuff in the lower left without moving?
will the scav timer continue to run out when I quit the game?
@bold kernel thanks
cant plant 3 gunpowders in factory breach room, someone send help!!!
Holy shit I found a decked out p90 and almost died because I didn't eat before the raid
Never again
Anyone want to do some raids? I'm kind of sick of getting cucked by groups of player scavs or PMCs when I'm just trying to get scav kills.
lol imagine being a beginner
lol same im trying to thos beginning tasks and i keep ghetting smoked by super geard players lol
WHO here like to think that there a real RAT
bit of a noob, mid raid, why is my laser sight pointing at me
did anyone get a twitch drop today?
@astral swift I got a weapons case
hey. thats pretty cool
how do i get back the beacons i need to prapors fuel tank quest if i die?
you can buy them from prapor or on the flea
next time you could put them in your case and wont lose them if you die
alrighty ty
will there be a stream tomorrow and at what time
how do i get fuel for fuel tank in tarkov
how do i fill my tank
you dont
nice
or, you cant
refilling has not be implemented yet
yeah
wtf do i do
well check them
sell it off
beofre you buy
hope someone makes the same mistake you did?
@exotic portal should have checked resource level by double clicking it
^
farrrk
Raids.
how long do sherpa requests usually take?
Still looking for someone to raid with who doesn't mind a little inexperience, though.
find em in raids. the zb bunkers in woods are good as well as the back of oil in IC
*oli
depends on availability @bold kernel theyre kinda backed up afaik
just started im on europe server can anyone teach me and show me around
Should i buy ledx/othap on flea to get the case from Therapist then keep it or sell it?
what case is it
Thicc
Has anyone else's insured items been uninsured
you mean because you lost it?
No, even my melee weapon for example got uninsured, I accidentally insured it. Dont think I lost my melee weapon
And items I never remove from my secure container
I accidentally insured my keytool and now it and all the keys are uninsured
Wiki or by right clicking the gun and clicking linked search, that will show you everything that will go on the gun
But say you want to know what handguard goes on the gun, you have to linked search the gas block/barrel because thats what the handguard goes on
!wiki ak-74m

Not the correct result? Use !wiki page ak-74m for a direct link or !wiki search ak-74m for a list of all hits.
where can i find mp 133 shotguns for prapor?
Isn't there a low profile front sight for the ADAR? The normal one blocks part of the reflex sight
you can install low profile gas blocks like the Mk13 on it
you can find all options by linked search on the barrel I think
Is it possible to get max End, Strength, and Covt Movement before level 40? or no?
if you no life it
are servers still fucked
can we finally load into raids now ?
@daring aspen If you spend your tim cheesing skills sure. If not don't expect to max tham at all.
Today was a good day, Didn't even have to use my ak (c) ice cube
In two years of playing perception is the only things I ever maxed
screenshot 1minute old
i just exited raid with those itamz and didnt shoot even 1 bullet
u jelly bois
Looks like a decent loto run, congrats. But no not jelly. Gun is not pretty enough π
Looks functional, just not pretty π
π
gfx card is pretty. from a room that was locked and i didnt even unlock it or use the door
a couple doors open
but mostly no its just noisy and letting everyone know you are there
i like it when there is a whole corridor filled with doors that open only for the last one to be one that cant and then you kick it making your rat heart race
What would yβall say is the best beginner map to work with? I know most of Shoreline by now, but I have no idea what sells well, what I should keep, and where I should be spending most of my time.
Gotcha - and as someone who is quite frankly awful at PvP in anything that isnβt Destiny/Rainbow six, whatβs the best way for me to stay alive?
Should also mentioned Iβm hella inexperienced in PC gaming. I have been using controller for most games...Iβm sorry :β)
i tend to play alot of maps at night as a new player
I canβt play nighttime at all, for some reason. I get melted so, so often...
i play alot of interchange tho.i once played that map for a few hours straight and encountered like 3 people.made alot of money. next day every game i got jumped.
if I bring something in a raid that was found in raid, the "found in raid status" gets deleted, correct?
@bold kernel I am pretty sure found in raid status remains for you. If someone loots it off you it loses the found in raid status.
Not 100% on how it works though. But basically if you need an item found in raid, keep it safe and don't take it in raid
If you are trying to cheese the found in raid status on an item. NOt going to work.
@bold kernel biggest tip is play slow and dont be greedy
Thatβs been my strategy from the beginning - if I know another player doesnβt see me, I donβt engage. I suck at PvP (as previously stated), so I tend to stay away unless they spot me/engage. I try to be quick, grab whatβs worth something, but itβs tough tough tough
A change in mindset is important for Tarkov as well. Most games measure success by number of kills. In tarkov kills don't matter. Surviving is the most important thing.
You can make lots of money an survive without shooting a shot. To me that is a sucessful raid. Killing 10 sweaty geared players with 1 million rubles on each of them and then dying to #11 or a scav is still a failure.
whats the benefit from the syringes? like they have a lot of downside right? but the duration makes up for it?
Not sure which streamer I took this tip from, but it's a goodie: Try to make them fight on your terms. If you can't fight on your terms, see if you can retreat. Got shot at by a mosin guy in my last raid after taking out another mosin guy I was just about to loot. I said nope, didn't see a convenient way to bring the fight to them and legged it in a moderately safe direction (visual cover, then hard cover) and never saw them again that raid.
veritas
The only thing that really grinds my gears about this game is the proximity you have to have to exfil. Lost raids so many times due to me not being able to leg the last 2-3 meters :/
Veritas is quite possible. I'd also recommend Pestily's new raid series for beginners. Starts off way beyond what a newbie can do, but is full of good advice from what I can tell.
@daring wedge That is my main problem with new players watching those videos. These tarkov gods have been so good for so long they tend to forget the struggle new players are facing.
Then their guides assume far too much.
my tip: never listen to a streamer if you are a newcomer
It is like the advice I see people giving new players... Just go out with a pistol and kill a raider and take their gear...
also true
And yes I have seen that advice given to a player under level 5....
well it is a fair advice
best advice for beginners: team up and raid with some guys who can teach you stuff. learning by doing
streamers bad for tarkov
its like telling a kid learning to ride a bike: "go outside get yourself some stabliizer and drive down a mountainbike path
tarkov is baptism by fire
I am still level 3, my man, and I have a few hours in the game. Shitβs hard, and I despise those who try to suggest itβs not when theyβre looking like fucking Tachanka from Siege
I've barely surpassed 100 raids myself, and I would say it helped me along quite a bit.
@split vapor I would have never started playing if it weren't for streamers/content creators.
Im not a beginner but I have no idea how to extract from Shoreline can anyone help?
so much new stuff and i still cant even find and extraction lol
playing alpha, there was fuck all to help you when starting
I like letting new players struggle to find their way in tarkov. I will tech them to make money in the easiest most boring way possible. (NO HATCHET EVER) and then from there they can learn the game.
The thing is IDK
Two years ago when I started I had Wiki and the EFTDB to learn how to build guns. Was still painful.
pier boat, tunnel, rock passage
im not new just new to the map
easy
is the main easy exit
tunnel is basically opposite side from you
can I screen share?
watch the wall and go left
wherever you spawned then run to other side
if you are not on the wall but on the beach: watch the beach and go right
Not going to lie, even doing rat runs with pistol/knife only I still get bodied just because there's always someone behind every corner.
Making money is hard.
Iβm on the opposite end. Iβm close to knowing Shoreline like the back of my hand, but I got no fucking idea what to loot
money is easy
Eventually money will be easy...
Making money is easy for veteran players*
Oh, yeah, let's not forget the by far most important tip for beginners: open a annotated map on a second screen or device.
This is definitely a healthy mix of gear and skill power in a game. Iβve seen people with hella yoinks get 2-tapped, and Iβve seen a Scav PC with a pistol fucking merc a team. Weird shit
people saying "money is easy" know alot about the game and know where to loot, money is NOT easy, it comes easy after 500h+
@bold kernel My son has over 3000 hours in game and is constantly broke.
I keep bailing him out with keys and cash infusions.
well he must not care about money then
He is PvP centric, goes in overgeared and stays in too long looking for that high value item or another kill.
still the point stands, money is not "easy"
I spend as little time as I can in each raid, and I still get my ass served on a silver platter with garnish to boot. This whole game is tough, and it has a mean-ass learning curve
especially if you dont have a gamma and can do hatchet runs worth 5 mil every time
Tf is the hatchet anyway?
I have no clue
inb4 "eod is not p2w anger emoji"
zero risk loot run. even if you only find 1 tushonka to put in your secure container it's still 10k gained.
you take in nothing except a hatchet, maybe don't even heal up.
*hatchet or any other melee weapon
it's the pinnacle of rat-dom
I consider myself to be a connoisseur of rat ideology...Hard-core RUST flashbacks
@bold kernel EOD's gamma container is such an incredible upgrade when it comes to conveniently making money that I've been considering it since I first bought the base version.
are you talking about rushing techlight shootem?
god no
if customs zb 1012 search light is not on in the beginning will it turn on later or is it always off ?
just loot all the dead people and weapon boxes
also I'm loving the game, so if I were a bit more affluent atm I'd probably already upgraded to support it.
then what are you doing on ic in night?
oh haha you mean wait for people to kill each other
@sharp cave I think if it's off, it will stay off. Going for 1011 is a better option than waiting around IMO.
yeah ive had some bodies people didnt loot and then come out almost full geared thanks to someone else
I have not been so lucky
well sometimes they are bait as well perry
I've taken Pestily's advice and always at least brought a TT or Makarov so I could kill the hatchlings and take their stuff...
Loot it and boot it for me is effectively just me walking around a very pretty game with empty pockets. Itβs sad π¦
Well, time for me to do it again!
have fun.
i just killed a level 47 that had a m4 suppressed and 3 gen m3 3 mags and an akms with a gruip suppressed and an optic and another trizip backpack. bro this game is super intense i love it
yeah this game gives some serious stress and joy
all i brought was an mp5 with a triton tac vest
nice
now i got 2 tri zip backpacks an m4 and another akms fully attached
I found a guy with a super-tricked-out M4 lying dead on the stairs of 2-storey-dorms in my third raid or so. I was a tad anxious to extract that raid after looting that guy. Never cared to check if he fell to scavs/reshala or another player.
Aaaaand, I just got capped 30 seconds into a game
so the higher the level the more money you get right ?
Iβm glad yβall are having a good time π
Not really @sharp cave . The more you know the more money you make.
@bold kernel I was playing with @open jetty last night and we spawned in reserve and within 10 sec of spawning we already got gunned down lol we were doing pistol runs
@daring wedge I should've rephrased I meant the higher the level of the dog tag the more money you get from them
I was wholly disrespected. It was a PMC too. Like, my guy, I may as well be in the fucking nude here: all I have is a KnIfE...
you're still gonna take the loot.
lol. i did customs dorms solo and ran to marked, a dude was in the bathroom and tossed a nade tht bounced off of me as i exited and back into his room xD
Thatβs what we like to call a βPro-Gamerβ move
Shouldβve added a cartoon βboingβ for effect π
provided you made it out before the nade blew up.
@daring wedge Worst part about this all also is that I dropped my 9mm ammo for my mp5 on accident and my extra mag for the mp5 also lol switching tac rigs and i also left behind an aks the guy had in his bag cause i thought i was gonna get more loot but i didnt find anything else
it was fully n tht bathroom lol
well unless you were using AP 4.3 ammo you didn't lose all that much.
!wiki ammo
You will find many ammunition types within the chaos of Tarkov. Varying opponents will require different types of ammunition to tackle.
This page lists all ammunition types in Escape from Tarkov. Click the name of a caliber to see the full list of available cartridges.
To learn more about the effectiveness of ammunition check the Ballistics page.
@bold kernel if you wanna do some runs sometime ill play with you

@bold kernel @sharp cave yeah last night was rough for pistol runs lol a lot of thick bois running around
@weak sage Thatβd be hella appreciated, I have 0 friends with which to do that, lmao. Donβt have a mic though, so mayhaps thatβs a deal-breaker
I honestly almost shit myself whenever I see a dude thatβs loaded with yoinks barreling towards me
It happens so often
And I feel you - I do not fw run and gun, lol
does a nade death demo armor also or only bullets?
What are some of the boxes which helps organise your stash?
anyone know how to fix the hideout bug where you walk all crazy
Ehy guys. Just got here :)
How's game performance overall?
Got a 1070Ti and a Ryzen 5 1600. Am i good? π
my pc is 5 years old and gets 68fps so yes
You're perfectly fine
I've got a rx 580 and i5 8400 you're good.
running pretty smooth at all high settings
Gotcha thanks. Also, is it true that upgrading to a different edition doesn't wipe you anymore?
the game is also only 17gb Which I was surprised
Was thinking of starting with standard to check it out.
it doesnt wipe u
@sharp cave Installed?
Be aware @grizzled wigeon - Shoreline kinda runs like poop on any PC.
Umh i see.
I have a 1660ti and an i7-9700, and it still bricks at times. 20-30fps
How specific are the servers? Is there like EU west, east and whatnot?
If there's even such a thing to select from
no
fov is wack, low i can see u bigger but suffer fps loss randomly and large ur small but fps goes up by 10 and u see more , so im at a loss
you only select region
Hmhm.
Whateverβs closest to you, ig
i just bought the game 2 days ago and im also pretty new
do I need the generator on if I want the increase energy and thirst regen from the other stations
Remember, the first 24 hours of gameplay you'll Hate
@civic ember gate?
fixed xD
Tarkov help forums should just say: βLose a whole inventory for some fall damage? Crying is optional, though recommended!β
how do I somewhat efficiently get fuel?
use expeditionary tanks and sell them afterwards on the flea market?
ppl buy empty exped tanks for the same price as full ones.
why xd
Where else are you gonna put your milk, Zormau?
well 5 comes quickly enough.
is this setup doable btw for a beginner
yeah I'm totally desperate enough to put fresh milk in a tank I'd just emptied the diesel out of xD
@grizzled wigeon you italian? I can teach yu some basics if ya want
Me, running at Mach-5, milk-filled gas jugs swaying at my sides
@waxen arch I suggest against using .366 weapons and ammop
any vendor that sells a good weapon
without needing lvl 2
well.. not good but better at least
skied can get you an ADAR for a rechargeable battery (about 12k on the flea market if you have access)
*skier
can you buys 7.62 ps ammo under lv5?
prapor's SKS fires 7.62x39mm and can be made to work, as can the mosin with its 7.62x54R, although those two are not exactly easy to use and forgiving.
I just encountered a bug on armored train where it teleported me into the doorway after the extract counter went to 0. It then reset to 2, and I died because of it. Is this intentional part of the realism or?
you recommend getting a SKS over my current weapon?
definitively
Teleporting is totally part of the realism aspect of the game. @native temple
JK, you got killed by a bug.
.366 ammo is trash
Seems a little odd that my extract counter would reset, and I would end up perfectly center in the train for the guy camping the extract to headshot me
I even took my hands off the keyboard
that sks can have no mods, you'll have to iron sights
alternatively you can use a mosin and lps gzh ammo
you can technically put a 20 round detachable mag on the SKS, but that's not available at the start and the 10 round internal mag is okay-ish.
whats a vepr km
You can get your hands on it fairly easily in scavs raids
I'm pretty clueless overall no idea where to good loot is tho lol
20 round on sks is lit
Random question how do you change the reticle on a scope? it says alt and rmb but i can only do it when I'm not scoped in but seen ppl do it while scoped in which doesnt work for me
@waxen arch to start I would suggest you do hidden cache runs on shoreline, you'll build some cash and kill some scavs around construction site and gas station
uuuh I think it was alt+right click by default @maiden crane
Oh sweet. A weapons case from the Twitch drops today.
play factory to get a feel of the game, then focus on 1 map that isn't factory to learn it completely. You'll start getting money. Also, if you find keys, flea market them to see their value, and if they're woth something, google and see what the room is. Keys are great
I got 1 key wich is a 114 dorm room key
@daring wedge yea if i alt + right click it changes it while not scoped while I've seen ppl do it while they're scoped. Someone said it's cause they have scoped in as toggle but not a huge fan of that
cant lookpu the price though
its not worth much but still worth looting if you dont have anything else
use this website to know prices https://eft-loot.com/
you have to have it on toggle, or change the keybind to something you can use while holding ads.
https://tarkov-market.ru/en is probably more up to date for flea market prices
this any better?
yes but load ammo in it, and don't use that helmet imho
its my only helmet xd
should work. To load it in the character screen you have to remove the magazine from the gun, load it and manually put it back in.
also allows you to use comtacs, but doesn't protect your ears.
yeah but he's under 5 he's not gonna use comtacs
still the best budgethelmet tho
and it often returns to you via insurence since nobody loots it
won't get much better at level 1 from traders.
never used a knife btw, is it worth bringing along
Always handy when you have no ammo
also buy the cheapest backpack you can from ragman
cheap backpack is better than no backpack
This spreadsheet called Virion's Weapon Modding Spreadsheet is a really popular weapons build that is supposed to show which guns have the best recoil.
I dont understand how to read it though. Where does it show which gun has the best recoil in each category? It just bolds the best current gun but that doesn't mean recoil
Also you don't technically need the rig with the SKS, and I'd recommend putting the AI-2 and the bandage in the pockets and hotkeying them (hover over, press number between 4 and 0)
Also worth noting that you can never lose the melee weapon you keep in your scabbard.
rig could be useful for looting tho
yep
ah thats really nice to know I cant lose knife
yeah, any melee weapon you have equipped is safe.
so you'd take no rig + backpack over the opposite?
@weak bane I would recommend the ballistics chart from the wiki. It seems easier to navigate.
!wiki ballistics
I would do both rig and backpack, but so save some extra money I would leave the rig
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.

you can find a scav vest on any scav anyway
im a lvl 6
so you can always find a rig
what about this should i sell?
but you can't always find a backpack
@stoic zealot anything not highlighted in green on this chart you can sell https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png?version=2df3e23719ac0daec462dbeaaccf646b
@stoic zealot https://eft-loot.com/ if you need prices and also check the chart zormau linked
I would sell to dealers to get my rep up with them unless its a very expensive item
should I keep graphics card for the missions btw or sell as a poor guy
when I unlock market
damn
mmmh
I would say sell them, its just one quest and its not even that important
the chart I linked is a complete list of all required quest items. The items highlighted in green have to be found in raid, others can be bought off the flea market later.
Whether you should vendor them or use flea market depends on the item. Some items are worth a lot more on the flea market, while others are basically the same.
BUT if you plan on completing all quests keeping them is also an option
im looking at it rn @daring wedge
after all money will be easy later on and you could curse yourself for selling them
who should i vendor to, considering i dont care much about rep right now
i want cash
but she'll only buy food, meds, dogtags and utensils/trade items, not weapons or other gear.
also consider selling backpacks/armors/rigs/helmets/clothing to ragman
Doing bad rep evidence quest for Prapor, I unlock the door to the cabin, and the document isn't there?
you need him lv2 just for his first quest
sure you have started the quest yet?
M1A vs M4A1.. does it matter?
very much so
totally different guns @placid garden
p sure I did start the quest
@fair edge check in your "tasks" tab
@daring wedge Yeah? I gues M4 has full auto so better for close?
M1A is a hard-hitting 7.62x51 semi-auto that can be modded to be an absolute one-shot monster, while the M4A1 is a 5.56x45 full auto assault rifle that won't one-tap as much, but has low recoil and a fast Rate of Fire.
Is there an optic for the M1A that can go from just a dot for up close to something with a bit more range for some close range sniping?
I'd say, however, that the M4A1 is prohibitively expensive for newer players as the good ammo types (M855A1, M995) are hella expensive (or were, last I checked) and you'll need a lot of it.
I just took it out, lost it π But it was fun.
Ahhh, so yeah that's what I was wondering π I guess M4 best left until later when I can burn up 90-120 rounds.
HAMR with a delta point on top, Valday PS320 and Specter DR are variable zoom with cqc options. There's also that one steyr 4x scope you can mount a small red dot on top.
I think it's the bravo or something.
Semi new to game havent played in over a year looking for anyone willing to chill
Which would be the cheapest? π
Although I guess cheapest will affect handling more
probably the specter
it's not too bad at -4 ergo
but it doesn't render quite as cleanly as the other options and is not a true reddot.
Are they all NVG compatible?
as such it and the valday have the dual-render effect on their 1x settings, which tanks your performance.
in the game, they're all NBG compatible for the time being.
pewpewpew
IIRC they're working on making that a bit more difficult.
I really don't get why you can't mount a front grip on the pic rail on the archangel stock.
yeah that's odd now that you mention it
Question: how do you change the orientation of guns in your inv?
R while holding them
Hey are the servers stable atm?
theyve been
@daring wedge Damn that archangel really jacks the price
Yeah, and I think you can make the M1A work without it for the most part. The M14 EBR stock is slightly better in terms of stats, but also a tad more expensive.
whats the point of hitting a door if you cant open it with breach
cause some doors dont open at all, and a few are only breachable
but do you just keep pressing breach or what?

!report
Hello @split vapor,
We do not take reports of cheaters here on discord.
In order to report a cheater, please record your game and post the video in this topic :
https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/98098-cheater-video-report-megathread/
Please refrain from accusing anyone here on discord to avoid provocations and conflicts.
Thank you!
That. But this would be the game where something like that isn't necessarily "hackusation worthy", though.
Catch it on tape?
3 shots fired 3 kills hmmm thatβs sus
No it's not. π
Dude clicked head
Dude clicked the head of 3 people maybe moving
From behind, apparently.
Thereβs lots of factors and Iβm not calling anyone out for cheating at all. Knowing the sound bugs the bugs in general and how this game is still in the beginning stages of development still I donβt put it over people to cheat at all
not really
its p easy to kill people if you know what you are doing
@timber dock yup i do
Noice.
can i level up mag drills by bringing a 50-round drum in my gamma and unloading and loading it?
Share it for our viewing pleasure!
MP-443 Grach good weapon to fresh start with? like 0 hours?
its just my perspective
I have to 360 before I shoot anybody. Itβs my one rule
and i died first
but he fired 3 shots in a split second
and 3 of us died across a room
@opal oasis Offline mode.
Customs is a bit of a cluster, but a lot of the starting quests are there.
Offline boring
So customs offline mode?
@opal oasis Sure, just to learn the extracts and get your bearing.. unless you're one of the few people who can read a map and identify your location.
Map?
In which case I'd say dive head first into it.
Can I get a link to map?
ight bet
!wiki customs
Yeah, why not, shoot some Scavs.
AI bots.
I liked interchange to start. Only a couple extraction spots so pretty easy to get your bearings
I hope it doesnt effect my game much that I only have the basic edition?
which one
!wiki interchange
Don't die!
Wait do I lose stuff in offline mode
Nope.
ok cool I just deployed
Nothing lost, nothing gained.
(other than map knowledge.. which I guess is something gained)
Off to a good start. π
prone
I gotta find buttons
any useful button combos I should know about
oh shit my guys russian
I forgot I chose bear
hey kyle want to suck dick at the game together? π

can i level up mag drills by bringing a 50-round drum in my gamma and unloading and loading it?
@vocal bramble I imagine so.. within the skill exhaustion limits, though.
Is the AI cracked
As in, hopped up on drugs and very likely to ruin your day?
Then yes.
alt-click to 'equipped', ctrl-click to 'bags'
same for examine
middle mouse button
scream back
Yeah, assert your dominance.
I pressed "y" after I killed him
for disrespect
but nothing got said
so I was dissapointe
d
You can double-tap Y for the comms rose too.
Getting shot by people you can't see is the newbie experience. Grab a leather belt to bite down on.
Someone blew your arm CLEAN OFF
So now you're eligible for a handicap placard.
And can park in the parking spot closest to the dorms entrance.
!wiki health
Could be a sniper scav up in a tower.
shh
lol
This map has them marked as well: https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/c/c8/Customs_Nuxx_20190106_1.2.png
no
You've become a tozer.
this pistol is ass
I'm going back to toz
Like 6 shots to a guy w/ shotgun pb
go
d
I lost my leg, both arms
kidney
Gotta shoot that facehole.
Did you.. uh.. bring meds?
Yeah.. like cheese or something.
You should use that when things turn red and you're not in immediate danger..
It won't bring back your blacked out limbs, you'd require some special meds for that.
im in the health area
my head died
That'll be the end.
am I retarted now
Not more than you were when you started.
I have no legs
You're just leg disabled.
and now my whole screen makes me want to die
and arm
and head
and kidney
just my chest left
haha
I killed one
before I completely died
I killed a good bit
oo
killed 6
all headshots lets go baby
So should I do interchange
or no
whats the hideout
What gun should I start runnning now that I can afford to mod up a little? I've been mostly running budget ak-74m with BS ammo, gun for ~20-22k, and mod could be either 20-40k or around 70~100k if I'm feeling spicy. I finally maxed out my hideout and having ~10 mil in stash
Excuse me, what is the key called for Customs that unlocks the two doors in the middle of the map, that lets you get past the wall?
@trim jewel factory key
10m? fuckin rich
I search factory key on the flesa market, and I get nothing.
@opal oasis The Hideout is your secret base.. it's a money sink to grant you crafting, easy weapons modding and passive boosts, etc.
Although you can jump over the wall there if you donβt have a key
@trim jewel βFactory exit keyβ
ceramic or titan tier 4 is better?

I got the game an hour ago, where do I go to leave?
there's an exit button in the main title screen
Ha
LFG that can help a level 7 start his EFT career..
want to start doing my first quests 
Thank you 
I got 2 kills
im lvl 3 now
I died
both scav I think
I think I died to a scav also.
Gj
The scav I died to did the peak thing tho none of the other scavs did tht
Ima try "factory" now
online as my scav guy
What makes scav different then PMC?
scav is preset loot
You get a free kit and you spawn mid game
pmc can do tasks as well and scavs cant so its more for free looting and pvping than anything
that will come with time
is ledx good?
only worth about 1 mil
just spawned with one
so na not really
1 mil is pog
im kidding you should probably just leave
Dat run through tho
made it out
so your scav spawned with a ledx?
What are the rankings of different types of headsets?
jeans its personal preference
Do you have short quick desc on each? sorry to ask
Thanks!
I saw a video on that the other day
lemme see if I can find it

I spend far too much time doing both amplitude and frequency analyses to compare the Peltor Comtacs vs. GSSH vs. Sordins. This data is applicable to patch 0.9 and should not be referenced in future patches ...
TLDR; think it's up to user pref
a kit?
car first aid
