still server probs?
so god damn annoying
Ayy, Game in with a Toz in reserve came out with a full berkut and SVDS with 7n1
Yeah, currently suffering through an Interchange raid on US East.
not cool. was just about to jump on
maybe they'll give everyone a free million again
So when you die, do you still get xp, or is it halved? (same with scav runs?)
If you load two different types of ammo into a mag, say PS and PRS. The 2nd one you load would be used up first correct?
well one dont use ps and prs
All I got on me right now. New player, been a rough day. Just got this from SCAVing
And 'yes'.
Thanks
anyone know about my xp question?
So running into factory kitted and killing a ton of scavs even if it means I die is still worth it for xp, gotcha
I need to kill 15 scavs on woods where are the scav spawns?
do they just roam the map?
Is there anyway to fill fuel containers so I don't have to keep buying them or find them in raid
Newp. You can recoup some money with the expeditionary fuel cans since they still have a purpose after you've used up all of the fuel in them.
Anyone else having slow raid start times? waited 5:00 for the last one to find a match and gave up
for this quest do i have to be a pmc?
Yes
Should I buy night vision for woods run where I need to kill scavs from over 50 meters with a mosin?
Not sure how the lighting will be around the mid portion of the map
where are the scavs on woods?
What does the hand mean? Intensity of the map?
@sturdy peak doesnt mean much honestly
it's supposed to show how "hard" the map it
but it doesn't mean jack
@terse valley
Imo, I'd run a thermal on woods, especially at night. Its ridiculously easy to get kills using it. And, again imo, I think it is far better than nightvision.
Just know a lot of people run thermals at night on woods, so be careful if you decide to do that.
I think the quest requires that it's just a mosin with no scope

ironsights i believe
does the hermetic switch on reserve only call in glukhar and his boys
or can it also spawn normal raiders like in labs?
Any resource to a budget loadout? pistol, maybe bag?
my budget runs are just scav runs, i mean, i never manage to make it out alive so funds are always tight
@potent marlin depends budget is different for everyone
i would say SKS/VeprKM is better than pistol in every way though
what do you guys think the best injectors are
im second day in, i usually never survive, kinda budget
6b3tm is a decent tier 4 rig if you're super tight with money
it's 45k for tier 4+ rig
skip helmet, perhaps headset like sordins if you have the 20k spare for better sound
vepr hunter or m1a is also still an option
and slap m80 in there
are all decent options for budget imo
pistol not good enough eh
it's OK
the ammo just doesn't allow you to get real geared people down
even if you have the advantage of them not seeing you
any tips on how not to get 1 tapped to the face by people chillin in bushes? lol
m80 great
@cursive shoal dont play too slow is my only advice
if someone's camping for example
what better than someone slow walking
just makes easier target.
i get that, but i also feel like i get caught because of noise. i guess its just practice
Man I hope a day comes when I can get past my 100k back up to 300k haha
Crazy how people have 100M+ sitting in stash
it has to do with experience and map knowledge
Naturally
once you know the maps inside out
it's so easy to make money
avoid players, get loot, get out or kill players w/e
yeah i slow walk everywhere, scared someone will hear me
I dash or normal walk when I cant. Forget noise, if someones there one of us is gonna die
Hopefully them lol
yeah it also has to do with experience and map knowledge
does the hermetic switch on reserve only call in glukhar and his boys
or can it also spawn normal raiders like in labs?
when you dont know what to expect or know when/where people can be
you typically slow walk
even though you could've known no1 could even be there
has to do with knowing spawn locations aswell
It's why it can be a good thing to watch good players like streamers/youtubers just to get an idea how they play
you'll notice more experienced players don't slow walk as much
only in specific situations.
how do i sell an item on the flea market
could someone help me with the postman pat quest
so I keep going into raids with some roubles so I can use the power plant extract... but I get in and it's gone. one time I went in with 3k and I spawned with 1.5k. wtf?
Wait which muzzle can go on the mosin?
can you refill fuel tanks?
no
why did i just find 3 pmc's with 2 fuel tanks each all empty?
how many bitcoins a day from a lvl 1 farm?
Pretty sure theres a glitch, i exited a raid with an empty PM mag I found and it was full
@daring agate
@devout forum prob about 2
so 300k a day
Gotta factor in fuel cost tho
wdym?
it even costs money if you find it in raid
because you could also sell it
but that aside
you can sell an empty fuel can for the EXACT same price as a full one
because it's used in a craft to make magboxes
you can buy empty & full blue fuel cans for 70-80k
same price.
but finding it in raid doesn't mean it's free, it's why i dont get why someone would wait multiple days to find something in-raid instead of buying it
if you find a ledx in-raid and need to give it away for a quest for eaxmple
doesn't mean it's free
you still gave away 1mill+
True
so there's no difference in buying a ledx, turning it in for quest (thus you lost 1mil) and then later finding a ledx and selling it for 1mil
and finding a ledx and turning it in
Fair enough
what do fp100 2 motors and a filter do just killed someone with it
hello i would like my 4 cases back lmao
?
@modern steppe wait a bit for the message with them to appear
oof
wiki exists
any mods on
where can u find sicc case?
by buying it
only?
@split vapor bro my cases didnt sell on flea and now theyre not returning help
great
fun
lost aton of money
When looking at items (a mag case in this instance) what does the green clipboard mean in the bottom left of the icon?
anyone looking for help with beginner quests?
Wait do you always keep your scabbard equipped item when you die?
Yup, it's a protected slot, like the pouch.
otherwise everyone would be making 5 mil every time they kill someone with a red rebel icepick
Got it
Okay personal mission before day 2 is over. Kill at least ONE PMC and get a dog tag lol
what mount needed to attach scope to SKS?
opsks dovetail adapter
then link search the gun
yeah I have but it doesn't show up
!wiki opsks dovetail
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Dovetail_OP-SKS_mount.
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page opsks dovetail for a direct link or !wiki search opsks dovetail for a list of all hits.
not that one, im guessing i have to change the dust cover ?
opsks>that thing above>either a pso, or a rail for aomething else
honestly get a vepr 136 over an sks
anyone looking for help with beginner quests?
Someone willing to let me screen share and tell me what to sell from my Lucky Junk Boxes??
?

Is the SICC Case worth it? Better than Docs Case? (PS I have EOD edition sized Gamma)
@gloomy tinsel 16 slot VS 24 slot.. You be the judge
Is the loyalty buyout quest through skier necessary to do?
no
its a scam
same goes for the other trader that has the same task
after chem p4
blah
is it best to avoid selling on flea market rn due to server issues? I've lost about 2 million in the last week (I don't play much and have had at most 1.5 mil in my stash at oncce) due to the server messing up on picking up cash from the market. Sale goes good, transfer money, "Badmove" or failed to move, or some other variant before it just takes the cash into the void so I'm down the item and the cash
new launcher image?
@digital wing restarting game will reset the the return.. You don't lose money
I just did keepa. I grabbed 400k. I lost all of it even after restarting.
lfg for some help with in game looting locations. Prefer Customs
Which Laser is the blue laser?
why do killa no longer sprint towards me?
i clearly need help
@warm gyro why
If you have any questions, ask away. @warm gyro
LFG interchange aggro/pvp im lvl 49
i watched a video and this guys game looked way brighter in dorms and idk how to turn up brightness
Probably a gamma setting somewhere in the files
Tossing grenades will do it
@white schooner i keep dying lots too
@warm gyro are you being sneaky
hmmm we were not most the time
well maybe you should try that sometimes ๐
Don't listen to him. Sprint towards danger and laugh in its face!
lmao
Aww poop. Got matched on another screwed raid instance that keeps disconnecting people over and over.
like they are quite "aggro" now
they go haywire when they see a hatchling
did you hatchet run? @wet spade
nope did not
normal scavs, i didnt see anything new
just heard a few sprinting footstep thought it's a player
ended up being 2 scav running around
how you do use the mount that sviels, which hotkey? for a sight on a flip
i just played a game and i for the sake of my life cant remember the combo
Ctrl+ something i think
Hello
hello
whats up? hows tarkov going?
hello i got the kiba key and i sort of dont want to waste 1.4 mil just to get anally fucked by mr. killa himself, what can i do to anally fuck him
still the best game
Anally fuck him first
hp ammo and shoot his kneecaps @stoic zealot
whos mr killa?
KILLA
ah the boss

never seen a boss in tarkov^^
High flesh damage rounds aim for legs
use a kedr
First Part of 2 videos I'll make where I kill Killa with every weapon in the game. This is proving more difficult than I thought it would! Here's the first 27 I've done!
Part 2 - https://youtu.be/IUPXiJgInOY
-------------------------------------------------------------------...
got a slug superformance kill today, its a good feeling
FUCKKKKKKKKK
Eh tank batteries are over rated
what is that in
always bring a bag kids
what is it worth?
@rapid silo duffle bag
244k
wow
game im in rn prrobably gonna server connection loss me tho
jus killed two scavs so imma try and yoink it
nvm just fell over and died from nothingness
i love tarkov tarkov is my favorrite game
@rapid silo high-flesh or armor piercing (just what ammo type in particular)
what is a high flesh for the KEDR
sp7
tfw you've linked an ammo graph 50 times but no ones bookmarked it
sp8 if youre poor
Visualization of all ammo types in Escape from Tarkov
psv is actually better then sp8
actually this one @stoic zealot https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/egp84k/noob_friendly_ammo_chart_updated_for_0122/
It's more up to date
I am unpleasantly addicted to this game
It happens
I always want more, but I get shot all the time as PMC.
I know...in theory
off again, have a nice day you all
@rancid pawn you even comin back or
its fine bro i just dont wanna wait for too long and all
if your not coming back in the call
So i have a couple questions, hope someone can answer them!
- Do scav controlled players have scav generated name? Or their tarkov name?
- If i kill a scav player does he leave a dog tag? Or is it just pmcs who drop them
best cost efficient storage container for gear like rigs and helmets?
@open jetty thx man
@little sparrow Player Scavs also have the 'pouch' slot showing when you look them (though obviously no pouch) which is something the AI scavs do not have.
@sturdy heart apb with 9x18 PBM or PMM
is mp5kn better than mp5
no
ok i got mp5kn with the best ammo where should i go
back to the flea market to get a normal mp5
5.1mil to 1.7mil no luck today
have fun with that extra recoil :)
but it could be a ton better
what keys for quick transfer of loot to person?
i think i lost my mp5 in raid
@toxic stump ctr+click
yes
level 3 havent gotten an extraction yet. wish me luck
Good luck friend
if your on aussie servers i can help ya
NA
@timber dock never looked at that, ill check it on my next raid!
factory is fucked
10 scavs come up at while i'm in a room
can't get out because they don't stop coming
then some full geared max armor player rushes in at the end
guys im new to the game what map is good for learning and loot?
idk how the scavs didnt go for him at all
depends what for
but since M700 is 1 shot per reload
if I dont use M80s
i wont oneshot
to chest
it's for sniping
m61 and aim for the head
my point is if you body shot and don't kill with a 1 shot per reload weapon it's kinda bad
You won't one shot anything in the chest above class 3 armor
yea I know
is the bullet velocity really worth it over a sa-58 or m1a for example?
m700 has 1k, FAL has 850 iirc
FAL can full auto with 50 round mag, m700 10 round mag 1 shot per reload
same ammo
Not the same budget at all
The FAL with 50 round mags and the ammo to run it is gonna cost much much more than bringing in a m700
yea but I don't care about the cost
just in general why would you run a m700 over an sa-58 or m1a
is the bullet velocity really that much of a difference
I'll try it anyway I'm just wondering
If you like sitting on the reserve dome and sniping people on the bunkers, it is
I just tought the difference is bigger between those weapons
why run the m700 if you can run a mosin with 7n1 ๐
svds with snb
one is a surgical knife and the other one is a hammer
makes sense to put it that way
well I'll try it anyway, got this modded 250k M700 which looks awesome
silenced
gl ๐
I'm grinding for the last 3 levels to 40
my "easy to do" tasks are pretty much done
I kinda stuck
just wanted to grind it out on reserve
well you should basically be done with quests than
enough money spent and points earned, just need that lv 40 for mechanic and ragman still
?
same here
yep ๐ฆ
@pliant elk what level are u
hideout is something i just started doing lol
I'm at work
oh bummer
I'll can post in a few hours
is it wrong to have 5items cases and 5weapons cases full of gear at level 20?
am i hoarding
yeah well all gear are usable
yeabuddy
i got no cash but got gears to spend if i manage to die alot
tho i havent lost much
lvl 5armors and decked out guns waitinks
i think raiders give too much loot too easy
How to do scav reserve
i never have to buy gear or weapons
Like where should i go
when u scav reserve, only go loot raiders
i wanna know how to scav reserve too i always get 1 shot by geared player
go near train station/k buildings wait for raiders and loot them
I was a player scav and idiots threw like 4 grenades trying to kill me
I only got my favourite gear, I keep my eod stash super clean
idk what raiders look like
when u scav reserve, move on the edges of the map if u can and sneak when u can
but I'm hording a lot of modded weapons lol
!wiki raiders
do raiders spawn at old gas station at customs?
@bold kernel yes and dorms
No
Oh do they?
boss+raiders yes?
so thats who i met
I thought raiders are players
on my 5th customs run as pmc i die
no...
to llike 5 raiders
Raiders are the angry AI bots
they throw grenades into your eyesockets
and shoot u in the eye when they slide
they spawn on reserve to?
Yes.
I got rich at reserve because of raiders
they have good loot
do they kill scavs
they kill everything
Yes
they are ANGRY
Fuk
Theyre like a triggered maths teacher
reserve scares me since its the most laggiest map for me and raiders
they spawn when someone rings the bunker door alarm, and train raiders spawn when train comes
Wait
I've seen them spawn at a random time aswell
and theres raiderboss at helicopter area i think, atleast i once died there to him
oh fuck so should i wait until someone kills raiders at train and then loot
really
what time did they spawn?
So the people at the train are raiders?!
and where @pliant elk
The english yelling usec armor wearing dudes are usually Train Raiders
in front of white knight
I never bothered looting them cos i thought they were scavs :(
always loot dead bodys
what is white knight?
check pestilys latest stream vod the last raid he played
i found a paratus backpack and akm with drum mag + 6 normal mags
the building
check the wiki map
im trying
i got 2.5 mil rouble is this good for new player ?
Yes
Yay
I have 150k
Oh no
Any amount above 0 is good for a new player.
Cos i spawned with a labs keycard
As a scav
i bought ap 6.3 ammo for my mp5 and it shred scav
https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/c/c0/ReserveMap3d.jpg?version=f29ac4b1bd3e6a01a5b3e5357dda10e3 the one in the middle? is that white knight lol @pliant elk
Can someone tell me a good cheap loadout to go with?
vepr hunter
Yes
i died over by those 6 green buildings
That bitch is amazing
Get a mp5kn
Vepr hunter melts kids
Or sks
for new player
I have a m4a1
m4a1 is worth a lot yes?
sks compared to hunter is like throwing haribos on enemy
yes between white and black knight
depends what m4, how modded etc
True my ammo was more expensive
I bought plain
M4a1
my ammo was like 60k for 3 mags
I want to mod it
I want that thing in hideout that lets me mod guns easy
Or get a as val
whats it called
@bold kernel crying in a corner with 200k ammo cost per raid
oh now i get it.. that white horse is white knight? lol i dont play chess
Lol
I bought the ammo but too scared to take it out
@snow kite u use the as val?
99% will encounter some neckbeard who has 5k hours in this game to 1 shot me
bring automatic barret 50 cal to labs
on pestilys stream raiders spawed on this area without hermetic door alarm or train
I only run customs and reserve
you mean the M1? ๐
@pliant elk did he kill those raiders and loot them?
@pliant elk thats where raider kill me
i gotta watch that clip
oh ill go watch it right away
last raid
he duod
ok
almost end of the stream
Ay the only way to get better is to keep on trying aint that right guys so ill jump in what map with mp5 and ap6.3 mag
he plays with a guy who has a lot of reserve knowledge
How did y'all learn about what ammo types are good etc?
whats a VOD
he said raiders spawn without alarm or train sometimes random
@supple fractal tried a lot, passed from generation to generation
video on demand

39 minutes ago in english
yep
roger
I use my mouse on the correct surface of mouse pad
ye
But it still tiwtches
been like that ever since i bought it
almost at the end of the raid the play roof between white and black knight
what mouse?
lol what is that helmet hes wearing
before they go down to cages
yeeeaaa your mouse is crap ๐
Yea im 100% getting a new one once i get a new pc
A4tech x7 is cheap and very good mouse
Like a actual good pc that can play tarkov without lagging and ok thanks
ill google it right now
steelseries have good mice with 30euros or so
40โฌ or something like that
steelseries too
but if steelseries than just go sensei, that thing is my go to mouse anyway
WHat about razer?
razer is shit
i had many razers and they all broke very fast too
Ok remind me not to get razer
steelseries have been very long lasting now
steelseries good?
Razer is like this expensive kids toy
sensei from steelseries is basically the best thing i ever had
steelseries is good quality good performance solid look solid feel and stronk as steel
I havent used wired mouses much
Model-O & GPro are also nice
wireless mouses = input lag
I use steelseries for keyboard
I might get a wireless if they are realy the best
if you got big hands and want a cheap and good mouse get the g402 logitech hyperion fury, loved that mouse for its price
And bloody v8m as my mouse
big hands small mouse or otherwise it all comes down to how you hold the mouse
I find shooting and aiming in tarkov is really not hard, it's more about positioning and game/map knowledge
whole hand, root of your palm and fingers etc
if you get caught first you dead anyway
sensei ten is 70 usd which is like 110 in my currency
its my mouse thats shit
if the person is no potato
i sneak up on enemy but cant line up the shot
because mouse twitchy
what
my steelseries mouse isnt even on their webpage
i have been a steelseries boy for years now, and had 0 issues
is it that old and still working
what do you have?
not sure
this very simple looking badboi
All this talk of steelseries convincing me to get one
orange light black mouse
i think i have Steelseries Rival 110
its matt not glossy
i like mouses that look cool but most of all performance
they have raised prices?
i like mouse for not being glossy
otherwise it gets too sweaty
also the sides have to feel just a bit coarse u know
rubberized finish is the best
i remember when using logitech mx518 it was so damn sweaty all the time
you dont look at the mouse anyway and all that shinny shit is useless
so just go for function
aye
sensei is the most boring looking mouse but hell it works like a charm and you cant possibly have any issues with it
plus at least for my hand its perfekt
i dont think it looks boring at all
I ehard that the coolest flashiest looking mouses are not the best
some people have different tastes in looks some think something simpler looks more cool
i play for like 2 hours a day i dont have the time
you will use the sensei for the rest of your life ๐
All i want is a mouse that doesnt fucking twitch sensei sounds good
back in the days i played CS 1.6 lmao
than go for steelseries sensei and get one of their pads
they are very stylish and you can get like a mouse carpet
basically what ive got...the biggest version of the pad and my whole keyboard is on it and i still have a lot of space left and right ๐
sensei/rival is what i recommend
both have good solid looking form that fits any hand i think
if u have big hand just Claw-Hold it
datz wat i be doink
i think Claw technique gives u fastest reaction time clickin 666clicks in sec and slaying dem raiders
even tho they were made for left handers
lol left hander mouse
wait sensei ten for left handers???
i know nobody that uses mouse with left hand
sensei is ambidextrous
me neither
im left hander and i play like everyone else
right hand mouse
๐
tried left hand once, didnt end well
naah im more like Gollum
hah
bent back and ruined face from all that drinking
so ure crawling around in tarkov looking for epics?
pretty much ๐
i never even seen that damn card
ive been in red room like 100 times but with a mate
ive only seen labs entry card
and im lvl 20 now
i saw a labs entry card on my scav run
22mil is not worth the loot inside imo
lv 37
and same here
only terragroup card ๐
dam im level 6
i have had like +10 lab entry cards in the beginning of scav matches
i tried to give another scav middle finger but accidentally clicked twice and shot him
i think its getting more and more common thing
i didnt last very long
@bold kernel HAAAHAHHHHAHAH
rip
Ok man we get it
Lol
call it karma
lol i go make a scav run on reserve and get rich by looting raiders
-->
i might try agin
reserve scav
do u just wait for pmc to kill them
i dont even do scav runs anymore...i dont like that it doesnt level my pms so i see it as a waste of time
yeah but even at the start i didnt do that
i pretty much pushed my pmc and proud to say, 0 hatch runs
So if I turned in a pilgrim backpack into a ragman quest, and it had aaaaaalll of my backpacks inside of it, I just lose all my backpacks?
@sharp garden you cant turn in an item if there is something inside it
@bold kernel dunno but it was a bit of a struggle until 4 mil and after that it went haywire
@snow kite except it did, unless the game is going to send me a message with my items
pushing 17 mil atm
thats good for lv 6 but dont just worry about money
Dorime ๐
i actually earned the most when i didnt worry about losing the money
yep
worry about getting yourself better, not the stash number
exactly
my avg raid is at around 1 mil gear
maybe a bit less
what do u do?
u kill?
Oh
i havent got a single pmc kill yet
is sr25 good
very
oh jesus, why dont you have headphones
heres mine
yeah I probably had about 20 berkuts, a few ak-74n bases, 6ish hunters, a few pilgrims, a few trizips, and a few scav backpacks, RIP backpack stash
i didnt finish the loadout..didnt even prepare for the next one but i can show you how it looks when ready
i found 90% of my shit on a random dead body on shoreline
good for new player?
what feedback
@sharp garden yea always when turning in backpacks and rigs for missions, you really should make sure nothing is inside them
take the ammo from the rest and put in your container
its down there at the bottom, alpha container
EoD edition
@unique willow yeah I only had enough room in my inv to empty one pilgrim for the turn in, and it turned out the 50% has all my gear vs 50% empty one turned out for the worst
eod wow
btw lose that drum mag...it just brings your stats down
@sharp garden you can use your character as temporary stash while doing that
@unique willow I was already doing that, I just have a mk3 hoarding problem 
battle ready
@sharp garden dont start the hoarding, i ended up spending half of my EoD inventory, with near 30mil in cases just to hold up everything i "might need at some point".
@bold kernel with right ammo and aim you can finish all your gun fights in 3 mags tops...normal mags and those drum mags just ruin your stats
just sell everything
sell everything you are not going to use
dont worry about that, you will have the same value but in money
@unique willow yeah it's just hard to throw away vests that give more space than they take, and good cond t4 body armour
sell everything you are going to use, if you arent going to use in the next 2-3 raids
oK
I need guide to sell
what to sell to who
dissassemble my weapons and sell what to who?
few hours ago i sold everything for AK74
plus two fully moded AKs
i know im never gonna use them
on that only i made like 2 mil
BS and Igolnik ammo, tons of it plus the two guns
my new headphones arrived brb
@bold kernel sell what you can to therapist, what you cant sell to therapist you sell to skier. and what you could not sell to either you sell to mechanic
Ok
Also what do you guys play on sensitivy
and fov
max fov
i havent changed sensitivity in game
i think its ok
how much money should you sit on i have 1.3 mil but i dont want to buy good loadouts but i feel like ill gfo broke very quickly
whats default?
also which is better
i think thats default
thanks man
but my mouse has sensitivity changer button
dunno how that is set up
which is better akms or aks-74u?
i dont have too fast or too slow
i always prefer 5.45x39 ak's
whys that
but dunno about values if theres different bullets in mags or different parts in the guns
7.62x39 ammo are really meh, except for BP which is expensive
well i dunno u can find a lots of good 5.45x39 ammo in reserve laying around and the guns handle better i think
i might keep the ak74
i hate resrve
i love reserve
i only play reserve right now lol
i hated it at first
i feel like reserve is acquired taste map
it seemed difficult to learn and dangerous
excatly
feels like every place of the map is danger zone
still
so many lurkers
but then
theres so many places so many ways to get from point A to point B
many times i have just ran through the map and survived
i got 2.6m should i get lucky scav junkbox
I reckon Reserve is a bit tough as a PMC if you don't have the paracord
whats a paracord and use
are red rebels still expensive?
does the paracord dissappear after you used it to exfil?
@bold kernel Scav box was my first big purchase and it was super worth it, helps a lot with quests
Paracord is used alongside the Red REbel ice pick for cliffs exfil on Woods and Reserve. They have unlimited use.
@empty anvil 2 mil and above I believe
rip
RR goes for roughly 4,5mil I reckon, and paracord for 200k
@static furnace thanks ^^
just gonna keep running manhoile extract rip
wtf goes in lucky scav junkbox none of my stuff goes in
Make sure to look carefully through Reserve bunkers, as they can spawn paracords. Same for stashes, I found one in a Shoreline stash yesterday
As a scav I tend to play more relaxed and better... when doing PMC my blood is rushing and I freeze and make bad decisions... any tips for that maybe?
cocaine
@bold kernel barter items
@bold kernel lighters, pc parts, packs of cigs, all tools, etc
Dogtags as well. Everything that isn't a wearable or weapon related roughly
I tried cocaine while gaming L O L does help with the focus :p
lol
well might save my scav junkbox
until i have barter items
whats the best way to get barter items
@bold kernel in raid?
like scavenging boxes
Pick them up
Literally everywhere, barter items are the most common items of all
Everywhere.. What you mean
this channel is called beginners assistance why are you surprised
bolts, screws, tapes, powders, PC parts... there are hundreds of them
You know those 5 drawer boxes you often find in offices ?
Those are generally filled with those kind of barter items
where do i find
best to check the wiki too though for each barter item, you wil lneed some of them for hideout upgrades
Individually they may seem cheap but some retain a nice value per slot, and can often be bartered to Therapist and Co for nice stuff
yeah i know 0 about hideout but i know its good
im currently focused on getting better
And if you run Oli on Interchange for example, almost all the hardware found there is a barter and can go in the scav box
also is customs a map that new players go to or just sweaty neckbeards with the best guns
Yes to both
my luck is i always run into the latter
Customs has most of the beginner's quests, but is also run my juicier players to farm the boss and marked room
The main issue with Customs is that it's a narrow map with lots of choke points
@bold kernel you should learn how to rotate around big fights, will save you a lot of trouble
The advantage of that is you know where and when to expect fights
Dorms and gas station are hotspots
try to use the woods as cover to sneak past the drama
Ok
as scav?
It is also very easy to learn the map and cross it fast
Try to play as much with your PMC as possible for XP and skill training
whats the point in xp
for levels
after level 5
quest requirements
and hideout building requirements
It allows you to level up the traders faster for more quests
More quests = nice items, such as the Epsilon pouch, several THICC cases, etc (of course that's later down the road)
can you find sicc item cases in marked rooms?
I think so ?
@tardy pond probably.. But extremely low chance
also @bold kernel don't be affraid to lose gear at this point in the game, there will be a server wipe again, so best learn as muc has possible before the full game release
alright thanks just making sure
should i do prapors 3rd quest neutralize 15 scavs in woods?
Yeah ive lost my gear fear mostly
yes just take an SKS or a Mosin into woods and move slowly, check the horizon, never sprint into open terrain, and keep your ears open
^this applies to most of the game really
@bold kernel should always do quests
is this good for woods
scope is a bit off maybe but yeah, should do the trick for scavs
whats wrong with scope
if you kill 1 scav, changes are more scavs will run towards your location
is that bcs of my scope
@bold kernel yeah.. I just have issues with loud guns
Imo that scope is the worst reflex
I usually run a dovetail PSO onthe hunter
Woods isn't great for loot IMO, outside of a few scav and the woodmill at the center
woods is not the place you would go to scavenge and get out with good loot ๐ mots of it is located at the sawmill, which sometimes spawns a boss, and is a hotspot for sweats
But be aware the scav boss there is a beast
Shterman right?
Thanks I forgot his name !
exshturmanate
oof i just late spawned in a raid and got one tapped the second i spawned in ๐ฆ
@tardy pond Crossroads spawn at customs ?
nope @static furnace heating pipe spawn on reserve
Therapist
Level 30 min
Therapist and Prapor. Therapist when you complete Private health questline and Prapor when you have level 4 rep on all traders
Quest reward item
@tardy pond ha sucks man, that spawn is rough
yeah
i hate therapists first quest i havent found a single salewa and theyre way too expensive to buy
Check also eft wiki very helpful for quests and items
Buy them
i believe i saw one running to black pawn building as well so i was just cornered instantley
@bold kernel if you can't find salewas, upgrade your hideout to get the med station, you can make them yourself with more common supplies
@bold kernel buy almost used up salewas ๐
that might not hppen
hideout way too dank
ok do they sell cheap
Or buy them if it's not find in raid requirement
roughly 10k or so
Just be aware if it says "Find in raid X items", you HAVE to find them
For full price also :)
^^
ok
Or craft them also
ppl rly sell 1 dura salewa for full price
fuck em
Crafted items are found in raid
my hideout is barely updated
upgraded
I was like you 6 weeks ago
then get to it :p do scav runs with minimal risk, dissasemble any guns you get out of them and sell them to traders in this oder: TSM , being Therapist first, then Skier, then Mechanic, do this as muc has possible and you will rack up a few 100k a day
Now I'm halfway through upgrades
So enjoy the game
