[grave arrow]

anyone care to explain whats happening with rebel ice pick? i have no idea whats going on

on market that is

next level market manipulation or something?

[pliant elk]

High demand low supply

Basic economy

[grave arrow]

talking about this

[pliant elk]

Price goes up

Jees that 1 guy with 1000 trader rep

What the actual fk

[bold kernel]

aka bot

[pliant elk]

Ah right

Botting for virtual game money

[bold kernel]

700k increase in the last week. Did they make changes to the loot table or something

[grave arrow]

the cheapest one wants 40 dfuel

1 dfuel is more than 87k, which is the approx price listed on market

im just confused

[tribal cove]

I can only trade 2 tetrizes for bitcoins on mechanic?

It says he has "a lot" but I cant trade anymore

[grave arrow]

might be a cap on how many you can trade

[bold kernel]

@grave arrow the price is about 4.8 mil

for the cheapest one

[grave arrow]

might be a bug tho

cus i have exclude bartering offers

but all of these are bartering offers

[bold kernel]

yea i think your thing is bugged

[tribal cove]

I just bought 20 tetrizses for under 145k so I can trde them for bictoins and sell them to therapist for profit...

[scarlet robin]

Just took 7k roubles into customs to extract at dorms, in my alpha. Died, and now I only have like 4.5k in my alpha?

[sour plume]

insurance

[bold kernel]

@tribal cove you found on free?

[sour plume]

always takes from your character first before your stash

[bold kernel]

flee*

[tribal cove]

Yea

[bold kernel]

all for 145 or each for 145

[grave arrow]

okay disabled and enabeled the bartering filter and now only cash trades are up

[tribal cove]

Each

Bitcoins sell for 159k on therapist

[grave arrow]

@tribal cove might be a daily cap on how many trades you can do with him for that specific trade

[bold kernel]

159k on therapist are you sure?

mine gives 120something

which level therapist are you?

[tribal cove]

@grave arrow well, this is gonna take a while

[bold kernel]

or they patched it I guess

[tribal cove]

@bold kernel 3

[bold kernel]

ah maybe thats why

[tribal cove]

I dont think so

[grave arrow]

max 2 limited for one restock

[tribal cove]

...

[grave arrow]

so i guess you can do again in 33 minutes when it restocks

[tribal cove]

Yup

Not the best money making idea

[ancient falcon]

what's the punisher quest?

which trader?

I've just finished the salewa for therapist and 5 scav kills for prapor

i'm only level 7

[tribal cove]

I spent 3.7 mil on tetrizes lol

[ancient falcon]

will I lose labs keycard if i do offline raid to explore the map first

[hushed furnace]

@ancient falcon NO

[ancient falcon]

I just got server connection lost?

again after i reconnected

does this happen to everyone in the server?

[rich cloak]

@ancient falcon punisher questline is prapor

Learn to use the wiki and you'll never have to rely on others again

[azure pine]

idk wth im doing... i bought eod and idk whats going on

[hushed solar]

im confused about this system, the beginners assistance channels, are they for people who have requested a sherpa only?

[flat cipher]

Nope

/looking for it

[hushed solar]

ohh

i see

thanks!

[flat cipher]

nw

[rich cloak]

@hushed solar if you are serious about finding a sherpa you should send a sherpa request through the forums

[hushed solar]

im not like looking for a speciefic persona/sherpa, just looking for a beginners group

[woeful forum]

if my armor health is at 0 do i take dmg like im not wearing anything ?

[flat cipher]

ye

means the plates in it are completely fucked

[woeful forum]

shit

[snow hedge]

@woeful forum #pvp-lfg

[woeful forum]

?

[snow hedge]

Wrong guy mb

[woeful forum]

lol all good

[rich cloak]

If your armor is fucked look for a group

Big brain play

[humble pulsar]

THE TEAMMATES ARE YOUR ARMOR

[rich cloak]

The real strat is that your arms are your armor

[agile magnet]

What's a sherpa?

[humble pulsar]

Yeah what is a sherpa?

[agile magnet]

A experienced player who is a coach?

[half jackal]

ohhhhhh sherpaaa!

basically an official newbie guide

[bold kernel]

So... Tarkov is filled with hackers

[agile magnet]

They play with you or only answer questions

[bold kernel]

another game ruined

[agile magnet]

They are just better than you

[half jackal]

theres actually not that many

like very few

[bold kernel]

nah

ive seen many videos now and seen them myself

[half jackal]

except on labs, where its slightly more common than other maps

speedhackers?

[flat cipher]

its just

not full of hackers

at all

LOL

[bold kernel]

wallhackers

[half jackal]

otherwise you can't really tell

nah

thats you

[agile magnet]

Wallhackers lmao

[flat cipher]

lol

[bold kernel]

i am silent like rat

[half jackal]

you can hear people from 30-40m away

[agile magnet]

I'm lvl 4 and can tell you they use headsets

[flat cipher]

people wallhacking get banned instantly

[bold kernel]

i sneak sneak

[agile magnet]

Lmao

[flat cipher]

you make more noise

than you think

youre never silent

[bold kernel]

@flat cipher nice propaganda

how much nikita pays you

[flat cipher]

they can hear you lol

crouch walking isnt silent

nothing is

[agile magnet]

This guy is fun

[flat cipher]

only loading mags is silent

[bold kernel]

yeah from 100-200m distance

[half jackal]

cheaters dont generally get instantly banned, but there aren't enough to be in every single game

[bold kernel]

throwing grenades to distant location with perfect timings

[flat cipher]

because they can hear u doing shit

probably

[bold kernel]

no

[agile magnet]

Ye

[flat cipher]

yes.

[bold kernel]

No

[flat cipher]

ok

[bold kernel]

No.

[agile magnet]

Or its raidscavs

[flat cipher]

whatever

[half jackal]

you can only toss nades like 20m

[flat cipher]

^

[bold kernel]

yeaahhhhh

[flat cipher]

if that

[agile magnet]

No

[bold kernel]

how about no

[agile magnet]

There is some you can throw very far

[flat cipher]

how about welcome to a realistic game

:O

[snow hedge]

51 str nade throws

[half jackal]

the baseball nades go like 30m

[bold kernel]

how about stop dreaming about utopia

[flat cipher]

how about stop complaining about your own mistakes

[half jackal]

@bold kernel record the hackers

then they get banned

[flat cipher]

and realise why youre dying

[half jackal]

ok

[agile magnet]

Can you mute they guy?

[bold kernel]

i do know

what

i am doing

[flat cipher]

clearly not

[bold kernel]

i almost never complain either

[flat cipher]

if you think people killing you a few times is hacking

[agile magnet]

We are in beginner assistance and nobody here wants to listen to hackers

[bold kernel]

it would be nice karma for you to have a hacker in your next game and dying ridiciously for him

[agile magnet]

Go to #general-chat

[bold kernel]

but i bet you would be silent and still say theres no hackers

[flat cipher]

it would be nice if you had some, actual proof

instead of complaining

[bold kernel]

well the thing is

[flat cipher]

so you could report said 'hackers'

[snow hedge]

Ive got over 600 hours and I can't confidently say I've ever been docked by a hacker

[flat cipher]

^

ive never even seen one

[half jackal]

I've run into speedhackers on labs

[agile magnet]

Just mute the guy

[void lintel]

Would anyone wanna sherpa me? ive got a v basic understanding of how the game works but I wanna get better with someones help

[snow hedge]

Actual speed hacking or just high strength leg boys

[bold kernel]

i remember times when playing apex legends and seeing hackers EVERYDAY almost in ranked games, then there was this guy who had even more "player experience" than me even tho i had played like 2000hours, and he was like you saying "ive seen hacker only once"

some people just defend some games no matter what

i do like tarkov

[flat cipher]

hackers in apex

im sorry but

[bold kernel]

but noticing hacking isnt that hard

[flat cipher]

hackers are less common than you think

[bold kernel]

oh i bet you are right someway

[flat cipher]

no i am right

[bold kernel]

they are not as common as in apex or some other fps games

[grave arrow]

Any decently heavy items that are cheap?

[bold kernel]

but THERE are hackers and they use mild hacks

[half jackal]

shotgun shells

[bold kernel]

they dont fly in the sky and shoot lasers

[grave arrow]

just want something really heavy to put in my gamma

[half jackal]

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying its really hard to tell when someone is using ESP on tarkov

[bold kernel]

i know sounds are different in this game

[flat cipher]

someone WILL hear you

unless youre just

sat still for

15 minutes

[bold kernel]

i know what sounds what make by now

there are distances for hearing aswell

[half jackal]

Its not even sounds - if its in the first 10-15 minutes players know where you generally are

Spawns in full servers are super consistent in most maps

[bold kernel]

oh

[half jackal]

you can prenade common spots

[bold kernel]

so you're saying players just take 50 grenades with them and throw them in every common places where enemies might be?

[flat cipher]

yes

[naive lion]

just spawned like 30 meters from gluhar

lmao

[flat cipher]

because theyre op

[half jackal]

not 50 but I bring like 3-6 each raid

[bold kernel]

they just overrun the whole match 10mins throwing grenades into every window every doorway loot and exit

ok

thanks for teaching me bros

[flat cipher]

[half jackal]

if they're in a squad

[bold kernel]

now i know

[flat cipher]

get good

ez

[half jackal]

if they're in a squad and someone thinks they hear something they will nade everything

[bold kernel]

i wish there was a dueling mode

[half jackal]

same thing my squad does

[bold kernel]

@flat cipher may i ask your ingame name?

[half jackal]

hear shuffling in dorms? we're nuking the third floor

[flat cipher]

why

[bold kernel]

oh just curious if i ever meet you

ingame i mean

[flat cipher]

_Harry

[bold kernel]

can you yell it when they publish global voice chat?

like, before throwing nades

so when i hear harry and nades dropping i know to inject adrenaline irl and hunt you ❤️

[flat cipher]

no i think u just need to not be so salty

over a couple deaths

[bold kernel]

im just kidding im not mad bro

its just silly how my last situation went

now i do wish i had recorded it

but last time i had geforce experience on Tarkov glitched and i had a mouse cursor in the middle of the game screen sometimes during matches

so i had to turn it off

[flat cipher]

i mean

thats not all bad

its a makeshift crosshair

[bold kernel]

true

but it doesnt stay perfectly still

it kinda trembles

[flat cipher]

its still in the dead centre of your screen though

[bold kernel]

i wish it was

when ever i looked around it moved just a little bit

you know

it was forcing to get back in to the middle but still moving

like 10pixels

[wet spade]

there's hack in tarkov?

as in, do yall meet them often?

[flat cipher]

nope

[wet spade]

have never seen one so far

[flat cipher]

there are, but theyre very very very uncommon

u get most of them in labs

[half jackal]

im serious though - it really seems like people are walling everywhere until you learn that you can figure out exactly where a player will be at certain times, and that literally everything makes noise, so unless you're also walling you have no idea where they're from

[wet spade]

luckily i only play interchange 😛

[bold kernel]

@flat cipher do you have a makeshift crosshair on your screen? I was told they are totally ineffective

[flat cipher]

no

[bold kernel]

because the bullets do not travel directly there

[flat cipher]

i just use cheap lasers

[half jackal]

they are mostly ineffective

[bold kernel]

@half jackal i know maps are bigger than for example, in counter-strike but i know its possible to learn such tactical sense as in counter-strike

[half jackal]

bullets travel where the barrel is aiming

[bold kernel]

ye

its very similar

[flat cipher]

yeah

thats why i use lasers

because theyre dumb

[bold kernel]

throw nades to certain places when encountering enemies and so on

👍

u see enemy peek through some hole, he disappears, look to next exit and aim there if he comes through

[half jackal]

lasers also literally tighten up the spread

for point firing

[hushed solar]

is there a guide to the hideout and what order to do stuff?

[flat cipher]

point firing is already dumb

[bold kernel]

why?

@hushed solar I would like one too actually

[half jackal]

Uh

[flat cipher]

dumb as in

op

good dumb

[bold kernel]

ah yea

[flat cipher]

u never need to aim close range

[half jackal]

just generally work on the crafting stations

[bold kernel]

it is op

[half jackal]

medical/workbench/lavatory all are profitable

[bronze ice]

I mean, it's realistic tho

Except the laser reducing spread part

[half jackal]

^

well

[bronze ice]

😬

[bold kernel]

im sorry but

https://youtu.be/7hLZ9pcvLz0?t=414

[half jackal]

its the same as the way recoil is handled

[bold kernel]

i quit talking about cheating nows

[half jackal]

I told you there are cheaters

[bold kernel]

scav rat run time ->

[half jackal]

but its mostly on labs

and its pretty rare

[bold kernel]

ill go hack some players into pieces

[hushed solar]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/dozwbe/i_made_a_basic_spreadsheet_with_the_hideout/ @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

and by hacking i mean doing with me knife

[half jackal]

Also I've killed people like how that guy killed shroud @bold kernel

[bronze ice]

Kriss vector

[bold kernel]

jump killing from that distance behind corner?

[half jackal]

yes

[bold kernel]

did u record it?

[half jackal]

even farther actually, its completely random though

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel you mean hatchling?

@bold kernel im too poor for that

[half jackal]

that guy is definitely cheating though

im just saying shit like that is possible

[bold kernel]

@hushed solar thanks I will check it out

did one of my messages just get deleted?

lol

[hushed solar]

what is hatchling?

[bold kernel]

Propaganda is real

https://tenor.com/view/conspiracy-theory-gif-10587157

@hushed solar using only knife in a raid

not taking any weapons or armor

[hushed solar]

ahhhh

[half jackal]

@hushed solar When people say hatchling they mean:

1. a player who spawns in with nothing but a melee weapon, tries to find weapons/loot and extract (zero to hero)
2. a player who spawns in with nothing, runs to where good loot spawns, shoves it in their secure container and disconnects/kills themselves to rinse/repeat.

[bold kernel]

@hushed solar there is no build order in this guide (still helpful)

[hushed solar]

all these tags xD

jeez

[half jackal]

if you hear people complaining about hatchlings - they mean #2 :p

[hushed solar]

ahh

[bold kernel]

i thought hatchling is some saying for expensive hatchet

[half jackal]

pistoling/mosinling is pretty self explanatory too c:

nothing but a pistol/mosin and a dream

[snow hedge]

Mosinlings are dangerous

[bold kernel]

forgive my finnish genes

its hard to study english and russian the same time while playing tarkov

i think mosinling just killed me while i had semi-chad gear on

he 1 tapped me inside train station from outside i think top of the bunker or something

[snow hedge]

I've been fully geared and one tapped by a mosin in wendys

It's a gamer weapon

[bold kernel]

i thought it was ai scav first

he literally had nothing but mosin

but then how he moved around with confidence and kept flanking me and so on i knew i was in trouble

so i hid inside train station

someone want to help a noob?

but could not escape his wrath

[quasi horizon]

can some1 help

whats the worth of vodka

currently at a raid

[bold kernel]

@quasi horizon 18k

[chilly plume]

where can i but my keys ?

[naive lion]

docs case

or keytool

[bold kernel]

buy or put?

[chilly plume]

sorry put my english isnt the best

[bold kernel]

no worries

As @naive lion said, documents case, key tool, or SICC case

[naive lion]

oh yeah sicc case

[bold kernel]

make sure to keep them in your alpha container since they are expensive (if you didnt know that)

yesterday I killed a PMC with a san. key. ... wonder why he didnt case it

[naive lion]

was it on reserve?

[bold kernel]

200k for one slot, I guess he didnt know what he was carrying

Factory

[naive lion]

hm

weird

probably just didn't get the time to

[bold kernel]

oh yea I killed him while he was looting

so its possible

though if I see a key I stick it straight from there to the container

I dont put it in my bag first

[naive lion]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bold kernel]

idd

[naive lion]

my secure container is usually filled

[quasi horizon]

@bold kernel Thanks, but it didnt matter because i got killed while extracting to a sniper on dome in reserve

[naive lion]

since my container is still an alpha...

[quasi horizon]

:((

[bold kernel]

how far are you from epsilon?

I just have punisher tasks left

[flat cipher]

eod g ang

[bold kernel]

@flat cipher don't get me started 😛

[flat cipher]

gamma

[bold kernel]

going for kappa (it will take me months :P)

but Im still going to try

[naive lion]

I'm really far from it

its my first wipe

so I'm not sure how quests go

[bold kernel]

me 2

[naive lion]

taking the time to learn

[bold kernel]

fair enough, but btw quest are a good way to learn

I use them to learn a lot

[naive lion]

I mean I do them

I just don't aim for them

[bold kernel]

👍

[naive lion]

some quests just seem so annoying

[prime peak]

Do scavs weapons ever reset over time if you dont use him

[naive lion]

I don't think so

[bronze ice]

@prime peak Yeah, not sure when tho

Probably when server issues occur

[slow quail]

this might be a dumb question but does the stash upgrade require power?

[flat cipher]

no

[slow quail]

ok

good

[half jackal]

to start upgrades

[flat cipher]

afaik having power only makes upgrades/services faster

[half jackal]

it do

[flat cipher]

yeah, you might need to have a generator in the first place to upgrade

just as a prereq

[slow quail]

lets goooo baby

[bold kernel]

how many slots do you get from this upgrade?

[half jackal]

100 iirc?

[bold kernel]

I read something like 2 but it doesnt make sense

[half jackal]

one sec

[naive lion]

10 rows

so 100 squares

[bold kernel]

wew

nice

[wet spade]

how do you fight killa withotu cheesing him?

[tribal cove]

pls check #videos and tell me that was a hacker. I wanna fucking die

1 tapped by a pistoling...

[flat cipher]

@wet spade get lucky like i did and have him stare at you motionless

or just use good ammo and aim at his chest

cause the faceshield is c6

[wet spade]

man he just one shot me everytime i hold angle against him

[flat cipher]

Yep

He has very good ammo

[wet spade]

i just want to fight him normally for once

[bold kernel]

he face tapped you i think

[fiery rover]

Well

Bug magazine

[vocal mauve]

yo im out off money and weapons, and all my scav runs i bassicaly die:/

[elder crypt]

Just don't die

ezpz

[fiery rover]

Sry big i mean thats what you need against killa

[flat cipher]

Nah

You need good ammo

[vocal mauve]

why so toxic penpena? you think everyone good at game when they get it?

[flat cipher]

Not lots of it

@vocal mauve learn interchange loot runs

Ez money

[wet spade]

yeah he did, dinked me

i mean i dont have any trouble cheesing him but

just wanna try fighting him normally

[flat cipher]

He can be very stupid sometimes

[fiery rover]

What cheesing him for you

[flat cipher]

Leg him with a kedr

ez

[wet spade]

stun locking him

[fiery rover]

@tribal cove that is no hacker if you dont have a faceshield its doable

[wet spade]

i went in with a sa58

killed someone with pp

could have just cheesed him

decided not to > regret

[flat cipher]

One tapping someone with a pistol isn't very out there

[fiery rover]

Well thats his mechanik if you shoot him He doesnt shoot back

[flat cipher]

yup

He's just very fast to shoot

[fiery rover]

Otherwise He would be too strong

[wet spade]

tbh quite tired of people running pp

just to cheese him

[flat cipher]

it's free money

and free igolnik

[wet spade]

well that's true

just abit sad when i kill them and i get nothing

[elder crypt]

I killed a whole 5 man of Klin runners yesterday on Interchange

[bold kernel]

One streamer makes a video and everyone goes off doing the same damn thing

[elder crypt]

they never made it to Killa

[flat cipher]

I owned some guy trying to pscav extract camp with an unscoped mosin

[fiery rover]

Klin? Whats that

[flat cipher]

little shit broke my legs tho

[wet spade]

i want to try running reserve etc but my frames..

[elder crypt]

PP19 variant

[wet spade]

its killing me

[flat cipher]

Yeah reserve is rough

[wet spade]

i go in with like 40 frames

[fiery rover]

More than enough

[wet spade]

no way ):

[fiery rover]

30+ is enough in frames

[flat cipher]

if its more than 30 ur fiiiiine

[wet spade]

WELL

been playing on 144hz since forever

even 60 is sort of killing me

adaptable for sure

<40? thats tough

[rose dirge]

upgrade pc

[tribal cove]

@fiery rover I just made balls to join in a raid with expensive gear and BOOM pistoling taps me...

[flat cipher]

yep

tarkov

[fiery rover]

Well without a faceshield you always can get one tapped no matter the weapon been there done that

[tribal cove]

I thought I wont need one on woods

[wet spade]

better be safe than sorry 😛

[sharp cave]

whats a keytool for ?

[wet spade]

to put keys

[fiery rover]

For keys

As the Name suggests

[elder crypt]

keytool

[fiery rover]

And Keys only

No Labs card

[bold kernel]

@sharp cave its one slot and can be filled with many keys

[elder crypt]

I just wanna S I C C case

[sharp cave]

I thought it was a tool that could be used to open locked doors, its why i was asking

[elder crypt]

yeah it is

[bold kernel]

Could also be efficient and just invest in what you can afford to lose. given up wearing helmets and just bring a nice gun and best easy access armor for me. which is ttv atm. Class 4

[elder crypt]

if you have the keys in it

[fiery rover]

I thought so too but now that i know that docs case can hold valuables i dont want it anymore

[flat cipher]

I rarely wear helmets tbh

they're kinda pointless

[wet spade]

@flat cipher thats what i thought

[bold kernel]

@sharp cave yes it will open doors but you have to fill it with the correct keys 🙂

[wet spade]

after wearing one with face shield

it actually saved me quite a number of time

[flat cipher]

I just wear a momex or ghost, and my headset

[bold kernel]

keep making couple hundred thousand a raid so rarely concerned by death at this point... considering goin pistols only next wipe to see how far I can get before needing tasks.

[sharp cave]

idk i was once wearing a class 4 helmet with a faceshield and it took a bullet for me and it saved my ass

[flat cipher]

They can help

Rarely

[wet spade]

depends on what your opponent is running 😛

[fiery rover]

Na helmets with faceshield are good

It mostly depends in the map

[sharp cave]

most of my pvp gunfights ive been getting in i get shot in the legs and they kill my legs so i cant retreat into cover lol

[wet spade]

i only play interchange

barely anyone runs full BS

[fiery rover]

Pop painkiller preemptive

[flat cipher]

Preemptive pains

Yep

[bold kernel]

they're not bad. just needs to be worth spending on a helmet... gotta make that money back.

[wet spade]

golden star balms 10/10

love it

[flat cipher]

Goldenstar op

[wet spade]

i just pop it whenever i feel like i will fight

[sharp cave]

going based off the wiki, for 9x19 im assuming next best after AP rounds is the tracer or the luger rounds?

[flat cipher]

If i hear gunfire nearby

[fiery rover]

Luger

[flat cipher]

I use my balm

[bold kernel]

hang onto those high quality pain killers and just pop them early on or to make space... free mobility when legged.

[fiery rover]

I trnd to use ibu

[bold kernel]

@sharp cave only ap round hurts through class 3 armor unless you want flesh damage. 9x19 rip rounds are somewhat cheap for the power they have.

[flat cipher]

Rip has like 2 pen

[fiery rover]

But they have negative accuracy

[flat cipher]

But super high flesh dmg

[tribal cove]

Just did a scav run and got 500k from it so I think I almost covered the loss

Never going geared with no visor again, lesson learned

[fiery rover]

I would go like this for 9x19: if i use a Single fire weapon i go AP round with an auto weapon i go luger

[flat cipher]

I just

Never use 9mm cause they kinda wack

[fiery rover]

But i would T really recommend going 9x19 at all

[flat cipher]

Can't wait for deagle and 1911

Gonna be so good

[bold kernel]

If you have a high enough fire rate for 9x19 it doesn't matter what round you use to much if you empty a 50 round drum. glock18c 1200 RPM and costs under 70k to sight and drum mag with the gun. shoots so fast any bullet causes damage with a full mag. it's fun to use green tracers too

[elder crypt]

only because 9x18 is elite

[bold kernel]

i found a dead pistoling with a shitton of ammo

I've killed class 6 fort armor players before on woods once with it. had to go prone

[humble pulsar]

That was all his ammo lmao

[elder crypt]

he brought everything he had

[flat cipher]

[elder crypt]

for 8 round clips lol

[bold kernel]

Is it advisable to buy cheap upgrades for the AK you start with in order to get into your first few raids as a new player, or better to just go in with a pistol and loot from scavs?

[humble pulsar]

I have too much guns but i dont what to sell

Im only level 5 and i cant upgrade my stash

[bold kernel]

well if your not going to start selling stuff start dieing

[humble pulsar]

i wanna sell stuff

I just dont know what to sell

[next kraken]

Honestly just seell whatever you won't use next raid or thee next 2 raids

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel Pistols is a fine place to start. You'll find guns and mods in raid for 'free' anyway.

sell the ADARs and the sks for a start

[next kraken]

it took me a while to learn that it's not really worth holding on to anything unless it's required as found in raid for a quest

[bold kernel]

put the m4 on the flea market

Pick the guns you like best and sell the rest.

having to many types just takes more space

[next kraken]

would highly recommend sticking with 7.62 PS for a while

and not go 5.56 or anything

[tribal cove]

If I try to put an offer on flea for 230k, but the items sells for 2.3mil do I get warned before pressing add offer?

[bold kernel]

no

[zenith compass]

Heyo, just wondering if the M4A1 build I have is effective for 100k roubles spent

[bronze ice]

@humble pulsar Try the guns out while you have them

[bold kernel]

It's average...

[next kraken]

I wouldn't go that grip

it's expensive af

not with the rest of it as cheap as it is

[zenith compass]

What would you suggest in its place?

[bold kernel]

Pick recoil or ergo to max more... or don't mod it if it breaks your budget still.

[zenith compass]

Right

[next kraken]

maybe an overmolded, or the stark

the stark is cheap for how much ergo it gives

also, CTR is a better stock by far and under 10k usually

[humble pulsar]

@bronze ice i tried out all of them, i lile them all

Like

I might just sell the m4 standard

I got them all from a really really good dorms fight

[wet spade]

why m4 when you only have 100k tho :O!

[next kraken]

@humble pulsar I would sell honestly almost everything if you're only level 5

[wet spade]

yeha me too

[bold kernel]

I usually try to keep close to 40 vert recoil or highest to above 60 ergo for the other direction. my snipers and carbines go ergo and the rest I favor recoil builds.

[next kraken]

keep the SKS, maybe the ADAR

adar ammo is expensive tho

[wet spade]

Hunter too

[next kraken]

i like to run an AK when I'm budgeting

[wet spade]

strong gun

[next kraken]

oh hunter for sure

[humble pulsar]

I dont have a hunter

[wet spade]

it's pretty cheap as well!

m80 is cheap too

[next kraken]

you could if you sold the rest lmao

[bold kernel]

AK's are so common I would bring a pistol and shoot a scav for one...

[humble pulsar]

lmao

[next kraken]

I mean yeah if yoiu want to run t45m ammo or some garbage

[bold kernel]

7.62 sks or vepr hunter if I can get a hold of one with m80.

Is my early target guns because the bullets dominate combat.

[nimble loom]

hello guys, i upgraded lavatory to lvl 2 and wanted to build fuel cannister but it says you need to take items ?? i have all resources needed

[bold kernel]

Then click hand in?

it'll take time to build the upgrade I think and then you can craft/collect it?

unless the servers are being slow give it time.

[sharp cave]

nope servers are going down

[void lintel]

just went down

so gey

[next kraken]

Yeah servers are kill

[sharp cave]

why does this happen at 7am lol

[next kraken]

12:24am here

haha

[void lintel]

14:42

fix servers pls battlestate

[quasi horizon]

error 201 201... i killed 2 fully stacked players as a scav

[modern steppe]

how long is itfor

[quasi horizon]

and got discconnected

any idea on how to fix it?

[sharp cave]

nope

servers are going down

you prob got screwed

[next kraken]

while servers are kill, is the holodilnick worth getting? I feel like I neever have any food or drink

[quasi horizon]

how do i get my stuff back?

is it impossible?

[next kraken]

But I'm not sure if I SHOULD have food or drink

[sharp cave]

I don't think you'll get your stuff back.

[next kraken]

@quasi horizon yeah it's likely lost unless you can reconnect after the servers are kill

[quasi horizon]

well shite

[next kraken]

which I doubt

[quasi horizon]

it was 30 mins left on reserve

i was right by heating pipe Uhhghggg

[blissful lagoon]

@next kraken It's worth getting if you feel like you have food and/or drink

It really just depends on your situation

If you don't feel you have a need for it, don't get it

That's the case for any container

[atomic knoll]

Not really. I feel the item case is an exception

[next kraken]

Yeah I know, I mean; at the moment I use no food or drink and I don't loot any either

my thought is, should I not be doing that

[blissful lagoon]

Fair enough, but along with that we can toss in the thicc items case too lol. But hiding away your stuff in containers without organization can be dangerous, beginners tend to hold onto stuff they don't need that way

[modern steppe]

anyone know when its back up

[next kraken]

should I be buying/looting food and drink; with raid timers as short as they are I've almost never need to drink or eat at all

[atomic knoll]

yes

[bold hearth]

Its back on

launcher update

[next kraken]

and I wonder if i'm missing some long term benefits or something

[blissful lagoon]

You are missing out on the metabolism stat

[quasi horizon]

@next kraken none atm

[modern steppe]

sexy thanks

[blissful lagoon]

but if you don't need it then that's fine

Metabolism makes your food and water last longer

but obviously it doesn't sound like u need that rn

[atomic knoll]

Not your food and water

Your energy and hydration

[blissful lagoon]

Same thing lol

[atomic knoll]

No. Totally different

[quasi horizon]

error 205 now?

wtf

[next kraken]

Ohhh so by eating and drinking moree it lowers the drain rate

[atomic knoll]

Food and drink restores energy and hydration

Yes

[half jackal]

@quasi horizon servers are going to be down for another 10-20 minutes probably

[next kraken]

suppose I should just drink or eat whatever I find

[half jackal]

give it time

[blissful lagoon]

@next kraken yes

if u find it on the ground and don't want it

eat it

[next kraken]

but then, why have storage haha

[atomic knoll]

Because you can't go back to back raids with low energy/hydration

[next kraken]

I suppose if you bring food and water into a raid

[atomic knoll]

You can actually die from it

[bold kernel]

Getting better metabolisim you stop needing to eat as much as soon. Can't remember what level mine is but I rarely bring food into raid where as level 1 I probably will.

[next kraken]

ah right yeah I forgot about that

[ancient falcon]

How come I'm getting 45-50 fps sometimes? especially in the rain

[next kraken]

I just tend to run scav in between raids

[ancient falcon]

I have 1070 ti and ryzen 3600x

[next kraken]

the ryzen

[blissful lagoon]

@ancient falcon That's just how the game is, especially in certain maps

[sharp cave]

I'm level 11 and i kinda just stop bringing food and water, it has come back and bit me in the ass before but I usually haven't needed it.

[ancient falcon]

playing at 1440p

[bold kernel]

@ancient falcon How much ram you have.

[half jackal]

@ancient falcon CPU is bottlenecking you I'd wager

[next kraken]

Ryzen has issues, game doesn't like more than 4 physical cores

[ancient falcon]

AND fps drops and freezes in everymap

16

gb

[half jackal]

2x8?

what speed?

[ancient falcon]

3200hz

mhz

[half jackal]

xmp enabled?

[ancient falcon]

no idea what that is

[next kraken]

apparenlty if you use process lasso and force the game to only use 4 physical cores, then it wil work better

[half jackal]

its not running at 3200mhz then

[ancient falcon]

yeah 2x8

[half jackal]

did you build it yourself?

[ancient falcon]

yeah

[bold kernel]

Hmm. Try support channel but I have 32gb ram and 1080 and I barely stay above 60.

[ancient falcon]

I heard stock is only 2400

[half jackal]

did you use the correct slots for dual channel?

[ancient falcon]

even though I bought a 3200mhz

I think so

[half jackal]

all ram runs at either 2133 or 2400mhz unless you enable XMP (or whatever your mobo manufacturer calls it)

[ancient falcon]

Using alternate

[next kraken]

Try setting the affinity of the game to cores 0,2,4 and 6

[ancient falcon]

1 in 1 empty 1 in 1 empty

[next kraken]

see if that helps

[half jackal]

enabling XMP will help much more

weakness of ryzen CPUs is slow ram/single channel

[ancient falcon]

just got backend error

[half jackal]

servers are downish

[ancient falcon]

oh right

Should I turn up graphics?

[half jackal]

@ancient falcon google how to enable xmp in your BIOS and go try it while servers are down - you can use something like CPU-Z to check ram speeds after boot

[next kraken]

I mean I manage 50-80 on my shitty 3770k

[ancient falcon]

heard its cpu dominant

[next kraken]

and have super old ddr3 from 2011

[half jackal]

intel doesn't rely on ram nearly as much

their single core performance is also generally better

[ancient falcon]

mines like 40-110

[half jackal]

which means games like tarkov will run better

[ancient falcon]

changes a lot

[next kraken]

give the affinity thing a go anyway, takes liek 2 seconds to try and if it works then all the better

worked well for my mates 6 core intel

[half jackal]

^ feel free to try it

but you should 100% enable XMP

[bold kernel]

Can we move this on to support channels.

for more technical aspects

[next kraken]

fair!

[ancient falcon]

@half jackal CPU-Z says my NB Freq is 1064.5mhz

is that normal for 16gb?

[half jackal]

wait

[ancient falcon]

DRAM Freq is the same

[half jackal]

ill ping you in #community-support

@bold kernel actually i literally cant

2 minute slow mode in #community-support

[bold kernel]

DM's are an option too

wasn't aware of that

[half jackal]

i wasn't either, thats annoying

[modern steppe]

stuck onprofile data loading

[half jackal]

@modern steppe servers went down so it might be inconsistent for the next 20-40 minutes, or more if it was a big issue

[ancient falcon]

@half jackal is it for intel only or can ryzen use it?

[half jackal]

@ancient falcon doesnt matter

[ancient falcon]

aight cool

thanks man

i'll try it

Are you sure that will minimise stuttering and fps drops?

[bold kernel]

Having a computer properly configured is the first step.

[half jackal]

@ancient falcon I wont guarantee anything :p - but it will definitely improve your 3600's performance in games by 15-25%, so it absolutely wont hurt.

any lurkers need help? pls ask questions

[agile raft]

kind of big funny the first time in a week i try to play

servers be down

[half jackal]

feelsbad

[sharp cave]

is this how the game usually always is? I bought the game last weekend and have been playing since then

[half jackal]

in terms of the servers?

[sharp cave]

yup

[half jackal]

It was never this bad until they did a twitch drop event during christmas

playerbase basically tripled I think

[sharp cave]

and then they did another drop this past week

[half jackal]

servers have been wonky ever since - although they've been working on them constantly

[languid flare]

playerbase even deca..pled?

10x

@half jackal

[half jackal]

perhaps lol

it definitely exploded

[bold kernel]

hey we’re looking to help someone that’s a noob on factory, dm if you wanna learn the game

[amber saffron]

factory is a trash map and no new player should play it

[wispy finch]

any eta on when servers are up again

[ionic hawk]

are servers up?

[half jackal]

maybe

I would not get on right now

unless you're fine with risking gear

[bold kernel]

nah we’re gonna make the new player some money

all they have to do is join

[half jackal]

factory scav farming is like

what 30k/minute at best?

[bold kernel]

not when the scavs run to you lol

[half jackal]

I was being generous too - unless you're bringing in icases - gear is horrible $/slot

[amber saffron]

factory is trash

if new players want money they can go interchange

i go reserve or shoreline, but that’s relatively hard compared to interchange

[tepid patrol]

why is therapists items case out of stock for 2 days?

[ancient falcon]

@half jackal thank you It's 3200mhz now

[half jackal]

awesome

hopefully you notice something

[ancient falcon]

Also do bhops and boost jump still work?

[half jackal]

i know bhopping kinda works

[amber saffron]

bhoping

go play csgo

lmao

[nimble loom]

i still cant craft fuel tank , it has greyed out start and it says you need to take items , i have free space in stash and in inventory and i have everything i need anyone know whats up ?

[slow girder]

who wants to help out my noob ass

[amber saffron]

this is a realistic game, we play for realism

@nimble loom send pic

[ancient falcon]

I do play cs go as well

[half jackal]

did you start another craft and not collect it?

[amber saffron]

csgo is trash

[half jackal]

like some other item

[ancient falcon]

k dude

don't play it then

[amber saffron]

i don’t

lol

[half jackal]

CS should see an FPS increase now btw

[ancient falcon]

I like both games

for what they are

[half jackal]

its heavily reliant on single core

[amber saffron]

ok

tarkov good

[nimble loom]

@amber saffron

[half jackal]

@nimble loom collect a previous craft

[ancient falcon]

1v1 me in tarkov spawn customs crossroads

[half jackal]

scroll up

you didnt collect some other craft you did

[amber saffron]

“1v1”

yeah just play csgo

[ancient falcon]

@half jackal what do you recommend upgrading first in hideout?

[amber saffron]

intelligence

[ancient falcon]

I've got medbank atm

[half jackal]

Lavatory/Med/Workbench

[nimble loom]

@half jackal

[amber saffron]

intelligence is very important

workbench is one of the first things you want however

[half jackal]

intelligence too if you want

[amber saffron]

level 1 can let you mod and have presets

[half jackal]

getting scav case and level 1 btc farm up are nice money gens

[amber saffron]

yeah

[ancient falcon]

is it worth doing tasks?

[half jackal]

yes

[amber saffron]

yes

[ancient falcon]

when is the reset?

[half jackal]

another 3-5 months at least

[amber saffron]

don’t worry about it now

it’s far

if ever

[ancient falcon]

by the time i do them, I'd probably lose it

[half jackal]

nah

[amber saffron]

they said in the recent podcast they’ll not have a wipe any time soon

[half jackal]

it only takes like 8-9 tasks to get enough rep for LL4 traders

[amber saffron]

so i wouldn’t worry about wipe now

do tasks and max traders

[ancient falcon]

the last one is kill 25 bears in an hour which seems impossible

[amber saffron]

max traders is really important

[ancient falcon]

I only see scavs

[amber saffron]

you don’t really need to get that far

[ancient falcon]

especially in oce, idk why the population is low or something

[amber saffron]

if you don’t want the kappa

just do enough for max traders

[ancient falcon]

I want the epsilon case

[amber saffron]

epsilon is from punisher

that’s easy

it’s 6 parts of a quest line

can be done in a day or two

[ancient falcon]

25 bears lol

[amber saffron]

depending on how good you are

it’s not 25

[ancient falcon]

in an hour seems impossible

[amber saffron]

and it’s not in an hour??

where are you getting this information from

[ancient falcon]

lol really?

hahaha

wait i'll link it

[sharp cave]

https://gyazo.com/e595e8cf5156674f490cacfe7453d77d what should I get rid of in this stash of items? Ive been keeping them tobuild stuff but idk anymore

2017

was changed i’m assuming

[tardy phoenix]

speaking of, I am working on scav kills for shoreline, anyone want to duo/trio?

[tardy pond]

@sharp cave just look what is worth something on the flee market and sell the rest

[sonic lake]

epsi worth if youre standard

[amber saffron]

epsilon is worth even if you are eod

[sonic lake]

eh idk about that one

[half jackal]

epsi easy to get too

[amber saffron]

1. so much xp
2. can hold 2 2x2 items depending on that you’re keeping in it

[half jackal]

it do be

[tardy pond]

Paracord is worth a fair bit @sharp cave

[amber saffron]

tho i like gamma

eod gang

[sonic lake]

kappa is a backpack lmao

[half jackal]

2x4 is much more convenient than 3x3

[bold kernel]

@sharp cave dont sell items that need to be found in raid if you are planning to do tasks

[sharp cave]

i was mostly keepign them for barter items and building stuff in the hideout i guess

[ancient falcon]

When do we get weapon case?

I'm on standard

and my stash is always full

[sonic lake]

you buy

[ancient falcon]

i only have 750k

[sonic lake]

find it in marked? lol

[amber saffron]

you get a thicc items case from private clinic

[sharp cave]

@ancient falcon Buy a ammo case and magazine case, I bought those two and holy shit that saved me a lot of space

[amber saffron]

worth around 17mil

[bold kernel]

why is epsilon more convenient?

[ancient falcon]

I've got those @sharp cave

they helped heaps

still need more room

[sharp cave]

yeah i just bought them yesterday lol

[bold kernel]

scav case is awesome

[amber saffron]

make some money

what level are you

[sharp cave]

I only have 800k rn selling stuff rn also

[ancient falcon]

2x4 @bold kernel

[half jackal]

@bold kernel can hold 2x 2x2 items - gamma can only hold one

[amber saffron]

i’m level 35 and only have 7 mil :(

[sharp cave]

im level 10

[amber saffron]

55mil stash tho

[ancient falcon]

@amber saffron how do you get thicc?

is a 36mil stash good at level 10 lol

[amber saffron]

yes

[ancient falcon]

im level 7

@sharp cave https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png?version=2df3e23719ac0daec462dbeaaccf646b dont sell the green items

[ancient falcon]

you need to be level 30 😮

[amber saffron]

@jolly rain is it chemical part 4?

then skier, because you can buy a black helmet for cheaper

[bold kernel]

@sharp cave you have 36 mil?

[jolly rain]

No

@bold kernel what does that picture mean?

[jolly rain]

The Kind of Sabotage

[ancient falcon]

what's it for

[sharp cave]

and wow thats actually really helpful

quest items

i just saved it to my desktop rn

[ancient falcon]

items we should save?

[bold kernel]

@ancient falcon those are all the items you need for tasks, the green ones have to be found in raid and not bought

[ancient falcon]

from pmc raids

or scav as well

[bold kernel]

not scav

wait sorry

I think as long as they found in raid theyre ok so probably scav is ok

but im not sure

[ancient falcon]

I've seen the some of the green ones in the market @empty dragon

sorry @bold kernel

[jolly rain]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Kind_of_sabotage this one

[ancient falcon]

nvm scavs don't count towards tasks

[half jackal]

Yup I saw

just pick one

wont bar you out of anything

[ancient falcon]

should we turn up our graphics to help smooth fps?

[half jackal]

whichever needs more rep

[jolly rain]

Alright good

Skier it is

[bold kernel]

@ancient falcon you can find those items on the market, but they wont have the checkmark of found in raid

so you cant use them

[half jackal]

@ancient falcon if you want to put more load on the gpu - textures to high, shadows to high

everything else low/off

[ancient falcon]

my gpu is 1070 ti 8gb and ryzen 3600x

would it better to put more load on the gpu?

[red halo]

they need more beginners rooms sigh

[bold kernel]

you can suggest to mods

its a good idea

because a lot of beginners are asking the same as you

[ancient falcon]

how do i use my labs card?

nothing happens when i press next on labs

[bold kernel]

when you go into the labs map it will be used

you need to put the card on your character, but beware, it will be used up

[tardy pond]

I should check how much load I'm puttinf on my gpu cuz i believe im running stufd on medium but i have a gtx 2080

[bold kernel]

its worth quite a bit so its suggested that you dont waste it

[red halo]

like i downloaded this yesterday, decided to just jump into a map to get started, maybe learn the area since i just went through my inventory and loaded up, and it kicked me out after like 20 seconds. server loss. ok, cool. ill just join back, 20 more seconds. kicked me out again. this happened like 6 times in a row. so now im out all that beginner gear i got for buying the game

[ancient falcon]

i want to do it offline

first

[bold kernel]

cool

then put it on your char

[ancient falcon]

it won't use it right?

[tardy pond]

@red halo do some scav runs, probably shouldn't have started using all the gear :P

[tiny laurel]

anyone else cant lunch the launcher?
