stray frigate
normal basalt
does that hurt fps?
spiral dirge
why untick? i thought you were supposed to keep it checked with high core cpus
acoustic juniper
Should I keep it ticked or unticked with i5 3570k
flat cipher
idk, mayube if you've got lots of cores
spiral dirge
8 core 16 thread
flat cipher
should be okay with it enabled
normal basalt
i got 4 cores
flat cipher
then disable that
spiral dirge
low settings usually results in low fps in tarkov unlike a lot of other games
sacred acorn
are the prices on the red rebel ice pick going to be going back down to 3mil-ish anytime soon?
from what ive seen they have been rising in price
is it better to just go ahead and buy them before?
sacred acorn

FOV is a bit of a weird one ebcaue some optics/guns perform different on high fov
so id leave it on a medium ish setting
hello christian
flat cipher
mines at 65, it's personal pref
spiral dirge
those settings are doodoo you will get shit fps with them
spiral dirge
r7 2700x, 8gb rx580 gpu, 16gb 3200mhz ram and i use these settings
spiral dirge
min is probably 50 in reserve, ~70+ other maps, and the specs are a decent bit better than yours,i would try those settings and lower shadow quality if you cant run it well
verbal summit
Does anyone know why my screen turned black after extrac
And I didnt get any of my stuff
I had a labs keycard bruh
spiral dirge
reserve is very rough map to play on even with 9900k and 2080ti
verbal summit
No it ain't lmao
spiral dirge
i mean i see streamers complain about it
and thats their specs
and i can see their fps
verbal summit
No shit
acoustic juniper
Jesus christ I just encountered the most craziest tryhard no life player

Wutsup, just started tarkov a couple days ago looking for anyone that might wanna show me the ropes better as of now I kinda really suck and havnt really been able to succesfully extract
eternal lance
But none of us are super knowledgeable
agile forge
It’s a match made in Tarkov heaven ^ ^
ivory geyser
damn me either
wary marsh
i hit around 70-80 in reserve and i have a 1070 lol
acoustic juniper
what is this exit called?
frank beacon
it'll tell you if you just walk in there pretty sure but its zb-1012
acoustic juniper
Its not currently an exfil point
frank beacon
if the light above the door isnt on u cant use it
acoustic juniper
but just trying to learn the map lol
frank beacon
you have to take the one on the other side of the wall to your right
acoustic juniper
Why do they maek it so hard for the player to properly play the gme
So retarded tbh
frank beacon
its supposed to be a hardcore shooter lol
extracts arent that hard to learn just go on offline mode to learn them or just
look em up on youtube
frank beacon
disassemble sell everything u can sell to skiier first then mechanic
acoustic juniper
Not the flea market?
frank beacon
if you plan on leveling traders its better to do it like i said
but if you want to make max money sell stuff like sights and surpressors on the market
acoustic juniper
Ah alright
violet void
Just wait until he complains that he can’t kill anyone and hasn’t even tried looking for an ammo chart
frank beacon
chill man
acoustic juniper
You enjoy learning 5 maps and their exit points all together?
flat cipher
yes
acoustic juniper
Not everyone spends 24/7 behind their pc
frank beacon
learn one map at a time
violet void
I learnt 2 maps
flat cipher
^
violet void
I work a full time job
flat cipher
learn customs and interchange
frank beacon
dont try to learn everything at the same time
flat cipher
thats all you need
acoustic juniper
Look at your name lmfao
violet void
Chill out nerds
acoustic juniper
Theres ppl with lives big nutzo
sturdy peak
Does finishing all the vendor quests get you the gamma case no matter what edition you bought?
acoustic juniper
you will learn maybe one day when your mom kicks you out of the basement
flat cipher
im not even in work atm and i dont play this game 24/7 but i know the maps very well
frank beacon
you dont get gamma case you can only get kappa container and epilsion
violet void
Quattro my rent is 1500
flat cipher
violet void
I don’t live with my mom

@sturdy peak
acoustic juniper
Nobody cares about your rent
stfu and gtfo this channel its for helping ppl not crying
frank beacon
can yall take it to dms lmao
violet void
Quattro u srsly can’t get money in this game can u
frank beacon
being toxic for no reason chill out
violet void
Just run factory on pistols until u can shoot ppl
flat cipher
epsilon is the same size as gamma
just, it's wider and shorter
instead of a square
acoustic juniper
Do i undercut avg price?
flat cipher
no
agile forge
No, Gamma is 9 slots, Epsilon is 8
violet void
Filter by item
flat cipher
o
frank beacon
if you want to slel it fast as possible go for it.
violet void
Then look at the prices @acoustic juniper
frank beacon
filter by item tho
sturdy peak
Ok so you gotta get the upgrade if you want the best pouch, thanks
agile forge
Wrong
violet void
Don’t upgrade highkey I wouldn’t pay 150 for a beta game
agile forge
Kappa is 12 slots
frank beacon
@sturdy peak its not the best
violet void
The servers don’t even run half the time
frank beacon
Kappa is 3x4 grids Gamma is 3x3 grids
agile forge
Kappa is at the very end game. You have to complete (almost) every quest to get it
sturdy peak
Gotcha
agile forge
But you can unlock Epsilon without too much work
Took me maybe 100 hours of playtime
flat cipher
^
sturdy peak
Im learning the maps right now and just trying to figure out what I want my loadout to be for my first official run
frank beacon
dont u only have the starter gear
acoustic juniper
How long does it take for something to sell
So you undercut avg market price and thats it?
So you disseemble the whole weapon, sell them all seperate?
agile forge
If you want it to sell quickly, undercut the lowest price
frank beacon
it depends on how much it is and the demand
dire tendon
How worth it are the KIBA keys? Is there a list of all possible drops?
frank beacon
kiba is overrated and you die trying to unlock the shit store more than anything else
dire tendon
Every time I kill Killa I see a locked KIBA and feel like there's probably 500k hiding in there from me
spiral dirge
dont use the market price thing on that screenshot you posted, look at the actual flea when filtering by item @acoustic juniper and its best to disassemble and sell to skier -> mechanic like we said
dire tendon
But I'm not convinced weapon mods are worth the 2mil in keys
frank beacon
dont buy kiba keys.
odds are 90% of the time you go in there its just trash
maybe a decent gun on the rack and a bunch of mediocre mods
acoustic juniper
@spiral dirge Alright, thnx bro
delicate siren
What is the item that holds keys that you put in your alpha case, what is the equivalent for meds?
dire tendon
Yeah the best possible scenario is like, what, FLIR/REAP-IR?
fiery rover
@delicate siren there are multiple one of those is the keybar
violet void
Pistol runs for ur pmc and scav the map to explore
frank beacon
I have yet to find a FLIR or REAP-IR in kiba and i went into it with my buddy a lot of times this wipe
violet void
Just camp kiba and wait for someone else to open it
dire tendon
@violet void ew.
delicate siren
@fiery rover which one would you recommend buying
floral ruin
@violet void you disgust me
violet void
Why would I waste money on a key
acoustic juniper
@spiral dirge So im gonna sell this terragroup keycard. I filter by item and I see its around 6-7 k in flea market. So i undercut that price?
If i want it sold fast
violet void
When some nerds gonna walk in there and die because he didn’t look around enough
dire tendon
@acoustic juniper It's 150k.
fiery rover
@delicate siren also there is no equivalent for meds inraid but there is a medcae for your stash, also i recommend the document case early on its the cheapest
dire tendon
^
delicate siren
Tysm
floral ruin
@acoustic juniper labs keycards are something that will sell fast, drop your price 5k below and it will go straight away
they are worth around 150k
frank beacon
@acoustic juniper bro. no those are barter. hit the cog and change ur settings like this
violet void
Sell em for 170
acoustic juniper
What are those bartering offers?
dire tendon
Barter listings are entirely meant to scam you, be it via bad barters, or via lowering prices (like you just thought it was lowered to)
frank beacon
hit the button next to my offers and turn barter off
dire tendon
You literally just almost sold a 150k key for 6k because of those barters, they're just there to fuck over new players.
frank beacon
its just scam
floral ruin
@acoustic juniper barter offers are other players offering to trade a certain item for your item, 99% of the time these are scams, i would advise to never do a barter trade and always buy with rubles
fiery rover
bartering is instead of money you trade in items for whatever you want, never do a barter on flea market if you barter only barter on traders like prapor
acoustic juniper
So they ask for items which are worth more?
floral ruin
yes, they will for example ask for a graphics card for your labs card, and the graphics card is worth 300k
so they scam fyou for 150k
fiery rover
yes
floral ruin
just never use them
acoustic juniper
Alright, thnx lol
fiery rover
yeah 1 bolt is 10k roughly
acoustic juniper
What weapon do you guys recommend for aggresive playstyle? something you can buy for cheap at the flea market and just go ham and if you die it doesnt matter
fiery rover
ak74 in a variant
fiery rover
m4 is too expensive akm has to high recoil, submachineguns too weak a caliber so i would go for ak74 for cheap aggressive
floral ruin
its a bit more of a difficult question than that because if yo uwant low recoil your gonna have to add mods or a normal ak-74m will shoot at the moon 1 second afte you press the trigger
fiery rover
yeah but a akm shoots even higher 😄
violet void
Quattro do you get into gun fights often
acoustic juniper
I try to
violet void
Just run factory with an mp5
acoustic juniper
This game is so weird though like you hear gunshots you srpint towards it and then theres nobody there
fiery rover
there is not really that much option for a cheap aggressive weapon since aggressive means you need an auto fire mod
floral ruin
wioth low recoil and good ammo
hollow sphinx
anyone elses game buggin out
fiery rover
oh probably the vss is also an option
floral ruin
there are cheap weapons for less agressive playstyles that will drop hgeared guys
like the vepr hunter
or mosin
fiery rover
but i don't like that since it eats so much bullets
yeah but the question was for an aggressive playstyle^^
floral ruin
maybe try to use the vepr hunter or mosin and get some gearsets and then use those gearsets to be agressive
acoustic juniper
For this quest do they all have to be in good condition 400/400?
floral ruin
can be 1/400
fiery rover
it can be 1/400
acoustic juniper
How much is a salewa kit worth btw?
fiery rover
10k +-
acoustic juniper
Aight
violet void
Make sure u buy a full one
Also berreta with 2 AP mags will do u well if u tap em m in the head
Or just black out legs
fiery rover
no
acoustic juniper
Oh nv
fiery rover
go to the quest tab on her
acoustic juniper
found the button
floral ruin
go to her trader tab then tasks
fiery rover
be advised some quests that need items have the addition: "find in raid" means you can't buy them from the flea market but have to find them in a raid
yes
i would suggest to go to flea market to identify all weapons there
all armor
and all rigs and backpacks
so if you find one in raid you can use it right away
fiery rover
because thats not how you write it
flat cipher
because the guns called ak-74
floral ruin
the search system is kinda fucked
flat cipher
not ak74
floral ruin
you got to get the proper name or it brings up a load of bollocks
acoustic juniper
Ahh
bold kernel
can i get some help iin a reserve night run
frank beacon
Bollocks?
acoustic juniper
No mods on those weapons at all
fiery rover
i suggest typing -74 then you get the aksu also in the list
frank beacon
Captain price..?
acoustic juniper
Any basic mods i can just buy easily and go?
fiery rover
nobody really sells a modded weapon since nobody buys it people rather just buy the mods since there is no real "skill" involved with modding a weapon
floral ruin
for an AK, you can buy a good muzzle break that reduces recoil by 8% or something like that
CQB i think
i forget the name
fiery rover
yes
acoustic juniper
I need all vital parts or the gun doesnt work?
fiery rover
i know i wrote it so he can find it^^
acoustic juniper
So I bought an ak-74m
fiery rover
not sure what it cots but the zenit pt-1 is also an option
acoustic juniper
looking freshh
fiery rover
for a stock to reduce recoil
acoustic juniper
Is there any way to filter the flea market so it shows mod compatible with ak 74m
And are all vital parts neccesary?
fiery rover
all vital parts have to be on the weapon for it to function
if a vital part is missing your weapon is red and you can't equip it
also yes
rightclick and linked search to show the mod compatibles
acoustic juniper
Nice
fiery rover
but it only shows what with that specific item is compatible, so to find a muzzle break you need to rightclick the barrel
at least for me i twas like that
acoustic juniper
So I can practically shoot this thing now since it has all vital parts? lol
fiery rover
no since the grip is missing
fiery rover
if the weapon is red you need an essential part to shoot the weapon
wanton wraith
my lord
fiery rover
gotta check
acoustic juniper
And which bullets should i buy
I know theres this whole official metasheet but I just wanna go shoot stuff
and do decent dmg
spiral dirge
BT if poor
fiery rover
also you need a handguard for it to work
fiery rover
thats the minimal amount for the ak74 to work but i would not recommend it
floral ruin
u rlly tellign a newplayer to buy igolnik
bs will be fine
1100 a bullet is ridiculous
for new players
spiral dirge
If he's asking how to mod guns and how the flea works it's probably safe to assume he's not gonna want to spend 1200 per round
fast rivet
yeah i wouldn't wish 146 recoil on my worst enemy
acoustic juniper
Im trying to buy a handguard for the ak but i cant find them on vital parts
floral ruin
well he might have 2 mil and think money inst a problem then after dying twice with 4 mags full of igolnik hes fucked
spiral dirge
Ye
frank beacon
if you need 5.45 and ur a new player just go on reserve and loot all the BT on the map
if u dont want to buy ammo
fiery rover
@acoustic juniper thats what i meant by the filter system is lackluster, rightclick your gastube and select linked search to find the handguard
fiery rover
pls add a stock to it
floral ruin
yes stock is the most important thing for recoil, if you inspect a stock it will usually have something like 40% recoil reduction
fiery rover
also for future reference: if you go to the flea market and just select weapon parts/mods and drop down the vital parts you see all vital parts for a weapon
acoustic juniper
Ahh
Also I bought 30 bullets
I can just put them in my pocket and reload?
or they need to be in a mag of some sort
becaues I can only put 1 bullet in the chamber
fiery rover
because normal weapon have magazines
fiery rover
thats a cheap excuse i am from europe myself 😉
acoustic juniper
Recoil pad neccesary?
frank beacon
wait
acoustic juniper
Or nahh
frank beacon
did you just make that AK from scratch ?
acoustic juniper
Yeah
frank beacon
why?
acoustic juniper
Wanted to see how it works
frank beacon
oh
acoustic juniper
how would you normally do it then @frank beacon
fiery rover
not sure but i think it was 580 or so
wet spade
580?!
frank beacon
I mean you can find fully functional AKs on scavs and in cases
zinc dune
Yo can someone help me get a few quests done on customs? I keep dying. i just need to find some truck, then find a stash. Think it is for skier and ragman if I remember correctly.
acoustic juniper
But how would i go about killing them if i got no guns
acoustic juniper
True
frank beacon
stay woke
acoustic juniper
Btw if you want a proper pmc run what kind of gear do you buy?
vest, armor etc
helmet
fiery rover
Cheap Starter AK74 with doable recoil
frank beacon
i dont buy gear anymore but when i first started I ran VEPR KM its a single fire weapon that shoots really cheap rounds that can kill even geared pmcs.
get a paca and a vepr km thats what i did its up to you though
fiery rover
not a paca
frank beacon
why not? cheap level 2 armor defense against scavs can be dumped and not worry about it being taken really
fiery rover
because its only lvl 2
frank beacon
what armor do u think he should get
fiery rover
lvl 3 combo
frank beacon
thats affordable and wont be taken
fiery rover
you can repair armor to a certain degree
although that is ceramic so i would not repair it more than 2 times
fiery rover
and i suggest 6b5-16 than he already has a build in rig costs double but protects better
tepid fossil
gets broken faster
acoustic juniper
Aight ill buy 1 of those
Any way to filter out al lthe broken ones
Or do i buy a broken one and repair it
fiery rover
yes
no
filter weel there is somehwere that says quality 0 to 100
set it to 80 thats enough in my opinion
acoustic juniper
Cheers
fiery rover
then you get armor that has at least 80% of max durability
fiery rover
yep armor is expensive
floral ruin
so is ammo and guns and meds
fiery rover
you can go paca probably safer if you are that new seasonal was right^^
floral ruin
and everything else lol
frank beacon
just buy a paca its like 12k. its good enough starting out.
acoustic juniper
Damn now I feel really bad for that 1 dude i killed and he had a whole set of armor and shit
fiery rover
the thing is 50k only seems much early on
floral hatch
@frank beacon paca is only good against pistols
frank beacon
dude he cant afford any better armor lmao
sly dragon
if i upgrade my stash buying more expensive version of game does it wipe my stash currently?
fiery rover
no
floral ruin
if you cant afford any better armour than paca dontbuy any
its a complete waste of money
dire tendon
@sly dragon only if it doesn't work. there's a ton of bugs w/ upgrading.
floral ruin
paca is like putting a piece of A4 paper around your body except it costs 20k
ruby stag
get zhuk-3a armor once u have fleamarket paca is actually laughable
fiery rover
not the face
rustic fjord
whats the best 9x19 ammo to run? rip or ap?
fiery rover
only clothes currently but that costs money and certain lvl
acoustic juniper
They gonn add it later?
rustic fjord
or does luger make the most sense due to price?
fiery rover
Luger or AP depending on weapon: single fire: AP auto fire: luger
frank beacon
RIP best for flesh then Luger. AP is for armor.
rustic fjord
mp5
acoustic juniper
Damn lol after assembling a weapon for the first time you start appreciating those random weps you find on corpses
fiery rover
i would go luger if you have good aim
rustic fjord
mp5 used for mostly shoreline cache/key/scav runs
i typically run rip and go for headtaps
fiery rover
i would try luger if you run into to many high geared player use AP
floral ruin
if no visor your good to go
acoustic juniper
Current player characters look like albinos
rustic fjord
cool cool
floral ruin
but rip is flesh not armour pierce
fiery rover
and rip is sort of waste if you go for headtap 😄
acoustic juniper
If you insure your shit and someone picks it up and then dies with your gear its insured?
you get it back?
sick sphinx
I got a question, if i do the task for example (therapist) will my rep go up, and is there anything else i can do to get my rep up
frank beacon
I mean if ur farming scavs you can just use cheaper ammo
floral ruin
if nobody extracts with your gear you get it back
rustic fjord
yeah i should just use cheaper shit
fiery rover
@acoustic juniper if nobody gets with your gear off the map you get it back, so 6 people can pick it up but if all die you still get it back
acoustic juniper
Aight
fiery rover
@fair wing no only quests give rep
sick sphinx
Thanks.
floral ruin
nowhere good
fiery rover
factory pumping station not very good
woven cloud
u can go to the flea market and sell it
acoustic juniper
Nvm just got killed
woven cloud
the pumping station is usually used to try farm gas analysers but interchange has such a high spawn rate for them the key is basically useless
acoustic juniper
Can i download an esp somehwere so i dont shit my pants when someone shoots me out of nowhere in a fking bush 1 meter away
woven cloud
acoustic juniper
It was a joke
b4 i actually get banned
where else gonna ask these noob questions
woven cloud
ruby stag
found rb-ps81 key on scav is it worth its price or do i sell
fiery rover
not really
ruby stag
why is it so expensive then loil
floral ruin
you asked if its worth it s price
so its expensive to sell but to use its shit
hes saying
grizzled light
Some keys spawn less than others so they're "worth more" even though it has mediocre loot in room
fiery rover
behind that door is 2 med supply, 1 ration adn 1 technical supply crate
so the loot is not that good i don't know what its worth but it snot a key i would use every raid
woven cloud
I personally think unless you need the money you should keep the key as if you play the map in future saves you from buying the key
floral ruin
not if ur never gonna use it
i had 7 reserve keys and even when i go there they are so spread out and the loot sucks dick
soi took 8 mil instead
woven cloud
the loot on reserve is great??
floral ruin
yeah and half of it you dont even need a key for
woven cloud
The key loot is good too if you get the marked and underground ones
floral ruin
the key this guy is talking about it would probly take at least 100 runs of looting that room to make the price of the key right? so why not just sell the key and ge 1.5 mi for zer work
zero
whereas kiba can make you 400k in 1 run ad the keys cost like 1.5 mil max
so
frank beacon
kiba 🤢
woven cloud
Im gonna have to pull up my game to explain prices but the crates spawn really expensive loot
also small high value loot
and reserve is usually cleared very fast so it helps to have the keys to have a higher chance of acquiring more loot
frank beacon
reminder to always go underground area north pawn up to dome because that shit is never looted
woven cloud
the underground areas all have good loot idk why nobody goes down there
frank beacon
yeah tech and intel spawn + a safe easy 300k+ just from that alone
woven cloud
and theres fuel spawns
woven cloud
Ive never run into anyone down there
frank beacon
if u have the key
hollow sphinx
i just found a monstrosity, something to never do
frank beacon
Ive run into another player down there one time
but it was a player scav so i got all the shit back
and i go there every reserve raid
probably about 300 reserve raids
woven cloud
Also to comment on the kiba for 400k in a run you're gonna lose more stuff there too its such a high traffic area
placid lion
oh man, poor guy. I spawn in the parking garage on interchange for a scav run with 5 minutes left, head to railway to hit caches before I extract. Turn left and see a pmc booking it to extract. I one tap him with a vpo. He easily had 400k worth of stuff.
fiery rover
tarkov giveth
woven cloud
And if you're running interchange generally imo its just better to go oli and tech stores then leave
fiery rover
tarkov takev
frank beacon
last time i played interchange i was a scav near the tents on the road and i got into a fight with pmcs
won then a fuckin gang of player scavs pulled up on me and one tapped me through dudes airframe
actual fucking warzone
hollow sphinx
does anyone wanna see a quick cheap mosin build? it can really help if your'e on a budget

I killed a guy on woods that had a mosin with a cobra on it, was pretty fun tbh. I got like 9 scav kills with it
sturdy peak
When looking at all the extraction options what do the ones with ???? mean?
frank beacon
possibly not open
placid lion
sometimes you need money to use the extract, sometimes there needs to be a signal showing it's open
sometimes that's green smoke, or a flood light, or a burning barrel
some just suck like factory exit on woods, you have to extract as a scav & pmc together
some you'll need extra equipment, or have to be missing a backpack or armor etc
sturdy peak
Thanks
arctic ermine
does the ledx and ophthalmoscope need to be found in raid for the private clinic quest?
sturdy peak
@placid lion So like for the smugglers boat in Customs it says the campfire has to be lit does that mean we as a player can do it and then escape or is it a random chance for it to be lit from when you start the match?
placid lion
two things: random chance for it to be lit, and then it has to be one of the exits you have in your list
so if it's lit but you dont have it in your list of extracts, you cant use it
or if you have it in your list but it's not lit, you cant use it
sturdy peak
Gotcha
placid lion
same thing with the car by dorms, but you also need roubles to pay the driver
the power station at interchange is similar, as well as the south wall on woods
sturdy peak
What is the middle one?
placid lion
that's your reputation with that trader
sturdy peak
Ah I thought it was markup or something, ok
placid lion
you can make it up by doing tasks etc, sometimes doing tasks for other traders can lower it
so if you look at your task list you'll often see that symbol associated with the task-giver. Some tasks if you do for say - jaeger will lower your rep with the other traders
Im really fighting to find an easy item to flip in order to get ragman up to level 2, skier was so easy but ragman is kind of a pain
skier I took from 200k to like 2m in around 30 minutes, just need to keep poking until I find the right item that's only a minor loss (or a profit would be better)

anyone know why graphics cards are so expensive rn?

theyre also required for a task later on

I'm asking why the went from 260k - 310k
placid lion
flea market bots probably lol
bold kernel
I just got this from marked room 
placid lion
nice, I havent had any good pulls out of there when Ive gone
yet, at least.
Went to dorms to do the case for thera and the golden zibbo and ended up killing a team of geared guys though, made maybe 1m off their kit. Id have preferred the weapons case lol
chilly knoll
Kaos, coulda just bought the case 🙂
placid lion
oh I will, I just had other priorities
today was keytool, dogtag case, and hideout upgrades. Im only at lvl 16
was pretty fun playing the rest of that raid with their gear though. MP7s, Night vision, etc
azure lily
Erm, do I sell my food/drink? I have a ton of water from a therapist quest, but also a bunch of juices and other misc. food.
red solar
No
Keep your food and water
You can either use it to restore your pmc when out of a raid faster
Or use it for crafting of any sort or even trading
But it depends on what food
Any bartering items you find in raid are now quite use
Useful

@compact aurora eft wiki has a good guide on keys
sturdy peak
So when looking at armor the 2nd number is the durability but if the first number says 6.6/40 what does that entail? 40 durability but what is the 6.6?
flat cipher
It's current dura
bold kernel
6.6 from 40
flat cipher
40 is its current max
bold kernel
Current and max durability
sturdy peak
So basically shit haha
bold kernel
You can repair
flat cipher
Yeah, but it can be repaired
bold kernel
Depending on the materials also
flat cipher
What armour is it
bold kernel
Ceramic is shit, lowest repairability
flat cipher
The armour ain't bad but it repairs so badly
Ain't worth running often
You get 1 repair out of it really
Maybe two if it's c5/6
bold kernel
But I have a question also, at what durability should I throw away my armour, class 3 and above
Max durability
flat cipher
Well
Throw all C 3
It doesn't do anything
And once an armour reaches below like 65%ish of its max, sell it
bold kernel
Ok, also saw you can barter at ragman also
compact aurora
welp, the san.328 key has two offers on the flea market rn, one for 400k, and one for 600k, and i highly doubt that that's what its worth
oh and both offers are from the same person
holy shit its worth that much
flat cipher
Then keep it
azure lily
How much money should I keep on hand as a cushion (like a point I shouldn't cross over).
I guess thats hard to say because of liquid assets too.
placid lion
I've been trying to stay over 1-2 mil liquid at most points. Im level 17, been playing about a month. Rule of thumb is I try to have 1m stash value per level I am. I'll drop a little when I make a big purchase, but that just lets me snowball more. Like I just bought a wcase, so now I can fill those spots up with more stuff to sell etc.
azure lily
Ah, gotcha.
My inv is getting crammed.
I need to sell some stuff probably. Or buy a container.
bold kernel
Is there any reason to try to loot anything else than raiders?
lol i have gotten so rich by looting them compared to anything else i think
free gear free bullets and players/scavs dying/died around them have more loot, like trade items and so on
i just saw so much loot at reserve that i couldnt even carry or have the time to organize items inside my backpacks and rigs and so on there was just loot heaven dead bodies filled with items as far as the eye can see
reserve trainstation/k building area is crazy loot heaven

ive bveen soloing all night getyting drilled at customs i mean i get alot kills but hard to escape when everybody you fight is duoed

young dome

bold kernel
good job bro
young dome

i think reserve is the most imporant map to master
wicked orbit
Any one around that can show me the ropes?
bold kernel
i learned shoreline/customs first then reserve
young dome
i guess im going to have to open up lol
bold kernel
still dont know woods/factory/labs so well
im lvl 20 and i havent even played labs and factory only 1 time, woods i have tried for like 4 times real quick
but i like reserve the most
mpc/scav however
solo/squad
its just so plentiful
azure lily
Factory is easy to learn. Really small.
Mad profit in what I have dubbed the "death hallway" up by offices.
Scav runs only tho.
PMC is rough there. Better be prepared / geared out to be last guy standing basically.
bold kernel
yeah
i have seen many streamers go to that hallway?
ladders up 3rd floor or something?
next to shower rooms?
staircases at both ends?
azure lily
Yup
bold kernel
its like always when i see a stream from factory i see that place 😄
azure lily
Bodies just pile up.
azure lily
free loot if you show up late with scav run
bold kernel
yeah
azure lily
and the office room has two filing cabinets and two jackets, so plenty of bartering items and even keys
also a safe
You just gotta play it smart.

Yeah Cliff decent is the best extract tbh, not sure about campers
best place to hide is in the middle of the train

in the train u need grenades to survive if someone comes
azure lily
ima hop off, i need a break from this game lol
bold kernel
usually
once i was poor af but had to still use the train exit to leave match with my sad gear and loot
i had 1 grenade
fight began, inside train station end of the train was decked out pmc
i throw a nade he died i looted his stuff just before train left and got out semi-rich
that felt good

What mosin is this lol? is it expensive/good ? some dead C H A D had it

i bring 5 mags of 30 for mp5 on factory

the most unfortunate endings are those when u run out of bullets/try to reload too late, feels more bad than anything else lol
narrow quail
do you guys know why my audio is acting up? i barely started playing and i was changing the graphics settings and now my audio is messed up. Even though i tried reverting all the settings
bold kernel
Its a regular mosin just a fancy stock
mmkay
anyhow some chad player was using it
i figured it would be good to keep and not to sell
timber dock
@narrow quail Define 'acting up'.
narrow quail
Like before it was fine but now its complete opposite so if i hear shooting to my right, it will actually be to my left. or i can hear someone in front of me and then i just get shot from behind
timber dock
Did you.. uh.. put your headphones on backwards?
narrow quail
i thought that at first but i already checked that
timber dock
@narrow quail Assuming that's not the case, game restart, and assuming that also doesn't work, reboot your computer. Cursory Google suggests it may be a workaround and that you're no the only one who has experienced it.
narrow quail
alright man thanks for the advice
proven slate
sturdy peak
Just completed first successful SCAV run. Hooray for me haha. For stuff like baseball caps, googles, etc which merchant is best for buying those up?
timber dock
@sturdy peak Usually the suggested sell order (provided they want to buy what you're selling) is Therapist, Skier, Mechanic, Prapor, Ragman.
sturdy peak
Thanks boss
obtuse lake
LF Customs, Reserve or Interchange runs. Pref with Experienced player, Im still learning the maps and loot spawns
timber dock
Straight up hard-crashing to desktop
sturdy peak
Yeah hard DC here as well
First main run too lol
So I guess this is a good time to ask what happens when servers go down/hard DC issues happen. Does it make your player forfeit and you lose anything that isn't insured?
Assuming you dont reconnect of course
narrow quail
if you're on scav it counts as a death so you have to wait the 20 minutes
if you dont reconnect
bold kernel
its weird how server remembers exactly where ur character was at the time of crash
timber dock
Depends. If the raid instance stays up and you're just getting throw out of it client-side, you'll eventually either die to Scavs/PMCs and potentially get your stuff in insurance or go MIA and lose your shit. If the raid instance goes down completely, it'll revert your PMC's state to what it was pre-raid and if you were Scavving it'll just cost you your timer.
bold kernel
usually when crashing happens theres timewarps
go reconnect and kill those with no SSD
they are afk now
get rich
timber dock
Yeah, I just killed someone who DCed while sprinting, real easy to find.
narrow quail
use your PC specs to your advantage lol
timber dock
Interesting enough it doesn't look like everyone's DCing at the same time.

can i get a sherpa to help me do woods for the first time, i've got like 3 woods quests and am scared to do woods
ancient falcon
If I insure a backpack and in a raid I fill it up with items then hide it somewhere. If no one finds it, will I get my bag with all my items as well or just the bag?
sturdy peak
Yeah 2nd DC for me now
timber dock
@ancient falcon Nope, just the backpack.
ancient falcon
shit
bold kernel
3rd dc for me

tarkov gets more exciting
just killed 2 scavs 1 was coming at me

I had to use sewer manhole and drop off my bag. Got into fights when I turned on generator and was too late to reach it in time

Yeah I DCed outside the gas station. Dead lol
Well that was a great first PMC run lol

hi guys I need help on confirmation
When I try to barter with Traders using Dog Tags for item i.e. MBSS, RSASS
why do i see only a partial of my entire Dog Tag collection?
sturdy peak
Man these crashes
timber dock
@next seal What do you mean? The RSASS trade requires dogtags level 15 and up, so you wouldn't see lower level dogtags. Is that potentially what you're seeing?
next seal
no. that's not what's happening. @timber dock I have 2 dog tag cases. 1 above 20. and 1 below 20. So i was looking through the names of the dog tags and i noticed that. Some of the lvl 20s are not appearing properly
Trader's purchase menu
Dog Tag case 1 (below 20)
Dog Tag case 2 (above 20)
@timber dock not sure if you can see properly. 1 of it i noticed is the "Last dog of from (above 20)" -Nothing-S-
that dogtag is not appearing on Trader's purchase menu
timber dock
Hmmm.. Potentially some UI fuckery? Same thing if you restart your client?
next seal
yea
same thing
it's persisted since last patch
so i wounded up hoarding more and more dog tags...

how can you tell?

He nocliped through the floor I front of me and my 2 teammates we tried to kill em but he did not get hit and then he just knifed us 1 by 1
Actually why can people do that
So fking stupid
stiff elbow
Hey guys, I'm a beginner from Europe, 30 years old and would love to get deep into EFT! I've watched quite a lot of YouTube videos over the past few weeks to understand some basics & to see if the game would be worth a buy for me. Just picked up the standard edition yesterday and almost hit level 5 - Lots of fun!
Would love to find some friends and/or a teacher to help me get a good understanding of the game. Always prefer to play with a group of chill people anyway!
I'm usually an "above-average" player in a bunch of competitive fps games - but (and I knew this before) no skill in the world will save me in Tarkov, if I don't know sh*t!
So - TL:DR: Looking for mature (20+?) mates to play with & learn from while enjoying the game! Please don't be shy of voice chat. 🙂 Can talk English & German.
ancient falcon
hackers ruin every game
I've never encountered one though, from what I'm aware of at least

if you go labs there are hackers every 3rd game

Anyone got a reserve map with the pmc spawns?
sturdy peak
If you unload ammo from the box can you put it back in? If not do you just discard the box to free up space?
static furnace
@sturdy peak I don't think you can load an ammo box, as it behaves more like a water bottle than a proper container. So you can just discard the box, and given it's US ammo, sell the ammo to mechanic :p
tribal cove
@bold kernel np. So there is no map that shows where pmcs spawn when the raid starts?
split vapor
Wiki
static furnace
If you look up the map name on the wiki, there are several pictures at the bottom of the articles that show spawn, exits, loot, etc
tribal cove
Found this, but migh be outdated
white ocean
i feel like that might be a little outdated cause i feel like ive spanwed in slightly different spots than on there, not to sure but thats a good general idea of where players are gonna be spawning from my experience
bold kernel
I looked around a fair amount and found no spawn point maps only exfils and loot sorry 😦 However i know there are spawn points under the green towers in each corner, bottom middle has 2, one on each side of heating pipe and at least one up on dome
tribal cove
Ok. Thx
bold kernel
This is an approximation of the places i've spawned on reserve it's far from perfect but i hope it helps
onyx zealot
hey guys how do you enter your shooting range?
bold kernel
If you go into your hideout you can press "Enter" in the top middle to walk around then walk to your shooting range and pick "Try out weapon"
"Enter" is a button on screen not your enter key 👍
onyx zealot
Does it use my ammo up?
unique willow
no
onyx zealot
Thank you
bold kernel
you do need ammo on you tho if you want to reload but it wont use it up
tribal cove
@bold kernel oke. Will use ur map then. I will complete it if I notice some different spawns

I have found items that on the flea market are under the traders price so yeah

best things to sell to ragman to get his money up?

just buy and sell whatever he has

Ragman is shit

Best tip is to strip everything/disassemble all and sell to skier, mechanic, therapist, prapor
onyx zealot
should i just ignore ragman for now then?
cause im currently focusing on punisher part 4/5/6 to get epsilon case

Peacekeeper is easy to level up for now - you can buy dollars from him if you have the money

I got recommended to go Interchange. Had a pretty good time with it
edgy phoenix
if you are tired, go factory

Thanks guys, so far i have played lots of customs, and do scav runs on factory and interchange
The game has frequent stutters/frame drops, as far as i can tell its not my rig causing these, is it tied to server issues?

Where should i sell mags for?
bold kernel
@verbal summit Your helm and armor have been damaged and repaired
so they are weaker especially that armor

Who should i sell mags for
bold kernel
In flee market you can goto filters (the cogwheel top left) And set item condition 100% to 100%
then you will only see full hp armor

i got the altyn from a guy but i bought the gen 4 rip

also setting item count 1 to inf will help with all the "Offer not found"
it wont stop it but you'll get a lot less

Not having stomach armor also means it only breakes if you get shot in thorax (tactec)
