PUBG much?
bold kernel
whut
atomic knoll
PUBG has random air strikes
bold kernel
i know
but i dont mean like that
somehow differently
and afterall pubg is a war game too right?
south lance
I just scavved into a building that was already looted, found a REAP-IR and a geared AKM just hanging out
😮
bold kernel
someone even more richer was already there and looted his bags full of much better stuff?
south lance
guess so
bold kernel
yeahh airdrops would be awesome
like this hyper tension pvp focusing on random area where air drop comes
south lance
reap-ir is 220k for 2 slots
sterile hearth
what scope goes on the M4A1 COLT standard
bold kernel
maybe there should always be a raider team trying to collect that loot kind of?
fiery rover
the question is and i think that is something bsg is thinking as well: do i want to punish people who just rush without any real eq in a map or do i just wanna make sure there is enough loot for almost all players on the map
@sterile hearth every scope
bold kernel
@sterile hearth take the iron sight top off and u can place almost anything on it
sterile hearth
oh ok ty
sterile hearth
whats a good scope for M4 for med and close range
fiery rover
prism
atomic knoll
canted + long scope
fiery rover
well its good for mid and close range
naive atlas
Bravo/elcan/hamr + pk06
bold kernel
i thought 1x sights are better
fiery rover
since it ha sonly a 2x magnification you can go for medium range
bold kernel
is it always 2x?
fiery rover
yes
atomic knoll
variable scopes are usually ehhh
fiery rover
same with canted or other backup scopes
bold kernel
atleast 1-6x scopes that i have tried are laggy for some reason
fiery rover
multiple scopes always drop fps
bold kernel
HAMR doesnt drop any fps for me
atomic knoll
I'll stick with valday
bold kernel
i can switch easily between the top sight and the big one
fiery rover
depending on how good you can aim with a laserpoint its also an option to just put a long range bravo or anything else on it and then for close range use a laserpointer
bold kernel
but when scope is adjustable withing one tube it gets laggy dunno why
atomic knoll
Laser can be.....a giveawap unless you use the one with infrared laser
fiery rover
but your hipfire accuracy i sway better
atomic knoll
Not the infrared one
bold kernel
i dont use hipfire either 😄
fiery rover
if you don't use the big violet one that is seen miles away you are good
bold kernel
only times i use hipfire is when enemy is 1m close to me and i usually get succesfull kills
but what do i know im just a noob trying to survive
fiery rover
thats why you have to switch it also off from time to time
bold kernel
that makes sound
fiery rover
you always make sound
bold kernel
i have won against enemies who use lasers inside buildings
they didnt hear me sneaking i didnt hear them sneaking or camping but i saw the laserz
fiery rover
for a better explanation i recommend this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEIL_C6M9oo
and while i myself am not a fan of laserpointers i see their value depending on the gun
bold kernel
Is a armored rig useful for the reserve Icepick descent or do they offer 0 protection
atomic knoll
You have to have a rig for RR para
So armored rig is the best choice
As it's an armor AND rig
atomic knoll
Also no armor to use RR para
atomic knoll
So it's more of...the only choice
Which is why tactecs are so good now
And in demand
naive atlas
If you use a regular rig even scavs can kill you
bold kernel
I usely throw my armour into my backpack and throw out cheap chit
it all comes to me now
why i see so much armored rigs on C H A D's at reserve
I know but what is a good armored rig
atomic knoll
tactec
cerulean river
hey guys what map should i run to get more used to the game?
fiery rover
customs
bold kernel
L thx
fiery rover
or any map besides woods and factory
cerulean river
shit ive just been doing factory
atomic knoll
You can. Just don't expect every map to be like factory
More like no other map is like factory
cerulean river
so far i can aim but have no idea how to do anything else
fiery rover
shooting helps 😄
jk my recommendatin is customs and start doing the quests there
the early quests tend to help you get into the game at least a little bit
of course other maps have potential for better/higher loot
cerulean river
i did the first prapor one there but then just went off because it seemed really hard to escape on customs
atomic knoll
Take your time and learn the extracts offline
Or you could be like me and learn it on the go
I learn better under pressure
cerulean river
^
fiery rover
really? i myself like bohemian rapsody more
cerulean river
i wish i could just hatchling in online so if i ran across anything i could keep it but you get cursed and tagged now dont you?
atomic knoll
hatchling online? Why?
fiery rover
yes you do because hatchling is sort of not wanted (from the devs pls don't start a discussion i don't make the decision)
atomic knoll
Just bring a pistol or something
cerulean river
no i understand why its not wanted
seems kind of scummy but running it in offline i feel like im not really learning i guess
yea just makarov it out then
fiery rover
activate pve and bring your gear
cerulean river
"what gear"
fiery rover
so you learn scav spawns on the run and also get used to the weapons
your gear liek an ak or something
or an adar
there are so many options
cerulean river
nah just saying i lost most of it because bad
fiery rover
yeah factory tends to have that effect
cerulean river
yea i figured that out pretty soon
i went in fully geared for me with a half kitted ak74 and a t4 armor vest and met some dude rocking a kitted m4 who just mag dumped me across the generators
and i dont think im gonna try factory again for a bit lol
opal dagger
do factory with the key
kill the spawns near you/scavs and extract with the key
dont have to rush office area
atomic knoll
angry jaegar noises
fast rivet
@cerulean river learning cache runs on shorline, interchange and customs is great
cerulean river
yea ima look up the cache spots and do a offline run or two on customs
fast rivet
good lad
fiery rover
if you spawn boiler side you can fill your pouch with the stuff from the caches and then go on a minor risk run
floral elm
Yo, Does anyone here know an easy way to get the scav box in the hideout, It looks very pricy to build (i don't have the money for buying the items for it atm)
I want to get a scav box to make it so I have a semi reliable source of parts and income
warm sleet
I cant figure out why I cant turn in this weapon for Gunsmith part 2. double checked all requirements and it's good, even followed a wiki build
grizzled trail
any players here offering assistance?
floral elm
hmm I can't match into reserve annoyingly
summer grove
@warm sleet fold it
warm sleet
I had done that! I found the answer though
Turns out you have to be below 600 recoil, can't even be at exactly 600. So I just added a muzzle break
summer grove
anyone know when the next sale is for tarkov
dont want to pay 70 euros for a game DLC
vital briar
anyone wanna help me with a task im level 10
atomic knoll
It means scavs will literally chase you down and put you down like the dog you are

stoic zealot
i have the kiba key (1 and 2) and i dont want to waste them, but killa is guarding the room and i sort of want to loot it.
should i just run a glock or a kedr with RIP ammo to shred his feet?
and what armor?
ill run an AK74 with BP ammo + RBP over dust cover as my main PMC weapon
atomic knoll
Killa don't guard kiba?
frank beacon
he will walk around there
bold kernel
u know why i didnt get more
atomic knoll
You can't shove stuff up your ass?
bold kernel
u wanna guess the classic
pretty close
ass is a word thats included in the answer
i had to run to the extract like my ass was on fire
🍑 🔥
atomic knoll
Well you managed to extract from that
bold kernel
yeah maybe i could have spared couple more seconds
for 2 slots of items maybe
gief thicc boxes plz im running out of space because of raider gear is filling my stash
bold kernel
but
but
i am a hoarder i just cannot simply sell something useful away
lvl 5 armors and good helmets and guns and magazines and ammo and ifaks
im starting to have nice gen4 collection now
onyx zealot
what should I do with my alpha container after getting my epsilon case?
bold kernel
but armor is too expensive
i could have like... downfall of pmc matches and losing bunch of gear
then it feels bad that i have to buy something that i could have stored in my stashy
atomic knoll
Unless you run trooper with lvl 4 helms + level 3 faceshields and t7s every game, no most gear won't cost much
bold kernel
okay
but
it looks fun to have more stuff stored
but complicated when i get even more crap
bold kernel
tarkov life is difficult
raider gun collection sponsored by reserve
7pieces of gen4's too much to store in stash?
should i just sell lvl3 helmets even tho they have faceshields
and should i sell headsets and what headsets???
its difficult to farm and not to stop so i can think for a moment
atomic knoll
Headsets, you could keep a couple. Have you tried them?
I can't comment on them. It depends on which you prefer
bold kernel
well i know for a fact that shh sucks
atomic knoll
Then sell those
bold kernel
i dont have any of those
i got many sordins tactical sports and some comtacs
how much wcase costs “
i have a feeling that sordins and comtacs are best?
too much
atomic knoll
@bold kernel 1.4m
atomic knoll
I won't recommend it
bold kernel
should have saved for thicc
bold kernel
i got 1 item case full of weapon cases lol
my stash inventory is like inception
containers within containers that have containers within some containers
topaz mist
I only use lvl 4 helmets, lvl 3 or under is unnecessary
bold kernel
well hmm
im thinking of saving some lvl 3 helmets for rat runs?
or a "budget" runs
but
im starting to think i shouldnt think about budgets
even tho im poor on rubles
atomic knoll
Most helms are...well not very useful
topaz mist
Yeah
atomic knoll
I mean I just wear the cheapest because having a bald head can be quite obvious
topaz mist
Example lab, im going in without helmet
lapis wren
just lost 90 round of m995 and a 100k gun cause i died before i even spawned
gg tarkov
bold kernel
these are some of my helmets i have collected from reserve
atomic knoll
Yep, sell em all
languid flare
If its so easy for you to get this gear, why bother saving it
atomic knoll
I say all because you can always buy them again if you need it
bold kernel
RESERVE SO HARD @bold kernel do u kill raiders or loot dead raiders
both
its hard to kill them
bold kernel
i always try to go kill them myself but sometimes when i get there i see dead player corpses and raiders just laying around and nobody even looting them
4Head just know
its easy if u got good position
for example, from inside bunker
idk reserve map
learn it ❤️
atomic knoll
You gotta learn it
atomic knoll
It's one of the better maps for scavs
bold kernel
bunker hermit door spot is the place to be
ive played reserve twice
3 times actually
first time it crashed, 2nd time i died after game unbound my fire key, third after raiders threw like 4 grenades at me
u can change position from other side of the bunker to other side with many options to escape or evade players or corner anyone and hear anyone coming from every possible direction
its silly stupid easy
and go peek from bunker "hangar doors" and shoot 1 raider without killing him and luring them all to the big doors while u sit back at the dark end of bunker cornershooting them without even getting counterfire
then u go loot them to the door
worst case scenario is that some player comes disturbing ur farming from underground or from top of bunker or something or then very rarely sneak all the way from other inside end of the bunker
----- that is all u need to know about farming raiders in reserve i think? ----
correct my mistakes if i have them
atomic knoll
Also spawn them
bold kernel
oh yes
that aswell
ive been doing that more myself now
some times i die when trying to set the alarm ringing and trying to run/walk to the bunker site
atomic knoll
Raiders do spawn right behind you after all
atomic knoll
....That's how you deal with regular scavs too you know
atomic knoll
Not tank their shots like a chad
bold kernel
fat intellectual rat?
Silence filth
Raiders do spawn right behind you after all
@atomic knoll what where?
tank playstyle
they spawn next to the alarm switch?
atomic knoll
Right after you activate the alarm, they spawn on the left building
So they might start shooting you from there
atomic knoll
Sometimes on the open field on the right
bold kernel
oh that explains couple of situations then
as u can see i am just a noob still
wheres uh
hangars
where u corner shoot
hangers
bunger hermit door spot
the 2 entrances
front of k-buildings
ok the one with the alarm? or bunker lo
u can enter them by underground too
oh
ill play reserve on offline
to learn
do that
and then kill riaders
u should
but remember
dont go too much face to face cqb with raiders
if u are very close to them just peek fast and aim head and shoot
ok
mp5 good hesdshot?
i just headshotted them with sks and shit bullets
Ok
just now
i have used worse weapons too
AKM better on semi becuse recoil?
maybe
but theres usually other players around when raiders appear
remember that 😄
every scav wants raider gear too
i been playing for almost 3 weeks,, 0 pmc kill
other sneaky rats suddenly jump from holes
rly
Yea 😔
my account lifetime is 34 days it seems
46 pmc kills
not much but anyhow
im avoiding fights
if u do that forever u never learn to fight
my acc
i will never do forevver
is 30 days old
and i have nearly half the boss kills
then i have pmc kills
im not a fps lord virgin
me eithe

i just got new pc
what does mean fps lord virgin
getting used to pc gaming
When u spend all ur time on pc
i lost virginity 12 years old and i have played pc since i was 6
i am C H A D

and rat, too.
U fucked a pringle can
nah that was when i was 8years old
i lost my virginity 3 years old

i think finnish people start younger
it leaves more time for playing pc then
u dont need to chase those tails irl
they start getting obese younger

bold kernel
forget what u read
lets talk about raiders again
raiders are ez
to farm in reserve
raiders are the biggest virgins of all
yeah
who do u sex in tarkov? other raiders?
tardy pond
Raiders are easy to farm in labs
tardy pond
Alot
tardy pond
You can spawn them
bold kernel
cool
tardy pond
Like 20-25
bold kernel
reserve
is less risk
tho
u can spawn them infinitely?
how many raiders in reserve?
there can prob be up to 20
tardy pond
Not infinity
bold kernel
normaly 5 without boss
ive seen like 8-10 raiders at once @ near train station i think
5 omegalul
tardy pond
You have to pull the lever to attract them
bold kernel
sometimes someone else pulls that lever and ure already in good spot waitinks
tardy pond
And then loot them and not get sniped
bold kernel
true rat life that is
tardy pond
Yeah
bold kernel
should i farm raidedrs reserve as pmc of scav
even better is that someone pulled lever tried to kill raiders got killed himself with Chad gear and theres like 2 raiders left to kill and lots of juicy fat corpses to loot
i mean
PPPPPP
if you know how to farm them
scav and pmc
if u know how to farm them u need nothing else in this game
yeahbuddy
4Head
i mean
ok ill do as scav
just look at my raider guns
hope to get s good gun
look at them
No
Not looking
u mirin' bra
raiders normaly wont have amazing guns
other then as val
whats fhe most expensive gun
but yeah i kinda fooled ya
some of those guns where taken from pmc's that were killed in battle @ near train station area or something
but i should sell some
oh im talking too much i gotta go raid raiders
gl hf guys
exotic crane
is sp-5 really that bad for vss ?
ancient falcon
keytool or docs?
bold kernel
depends on how much money you have
docs case is good early game, but if you're stacked with cash, go for the keytool
even better, get the SICC case if you really have money :p
atomic knoll
SP-5 is decent but go for SP-6 at least. The damage makes a big difference
@exotic crane
The SP-5 is basically 7.63x39 PS ammo
Not bad but not great either
grand peak
What are yalls strategy after you've killed a pmc? I've had several games where after i get kills i get ambushed trying to loot even after waiting abit away from the bodies. Is it better practice to wait longer or scout the area better?
split vapor
watch the body
kill any fuck that tries to loot it
leave about at 15m left in raid
get their shit and leave
atomic knoll
That's alot of investment for one body though
split vapor
use them as bait
make people learn that 10 unlooted people is not a safe sign to go loot
white ocean
I love the as val
marsh socket
Do scavs spawn periodically during raids?
spiral dirge
Yes

About to go to woods to do the scav killing mission

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/4/42/Reserve_Map_Translated.png?version=a5213a797aa3412d183235f86a3dd30d is this the best reserve map
@marsh socket Good luck im on that mission as well
Prapor 3rd mission
i think many dead bodies sometimes is so random
exotic crane
@atomic knoll but the damage on sp-5 is higher i guess u meant pen?
bold kernel
i have seen many fat corpses just lying about nobody around and looted them in peace
@bold kernel what map do u use on reserve
but when i see bodies with all stuff discarded to the ground and lots of those its a sign of true danger
@bold kernel i dont use map anymore but
theres maps for undeground sites too
theres big undeground place under k-buildings and bunkers, then theres a real bunker in the mountains that leads to those tall buildings on the left
I remember dying near bunker hermatic dore
door
yeah that place is a high risk but so is many other places
atomic knoll
@exotic crane Yes. Anything below 40 pen can't reliably pen class 4 armors which is what the majority of players wear
bold kernel
@bold kernel bunker hermetic door is the place i spoke of earlier regarding the raider farming
Ohh
that whole bunker place
it has 2 big doors on ground level and 2 ways coming up from underground
wasnt a raider that killed me it was a wounded pmc i bet i would have got him but u know the glitch where it unbinds ur left click to fire button
whutt
u couldnt shoot ur gun?
yeah
it was full, i had bullet in chamber
i fire and nothing
not even a click which leads me to believe it unbinded
its happened to a few other players as well
lapis wren
its happened to me a few times
i was using an mp7 i looked off a high level when i was like level 7
killed his buddy and while i was looting his friend someone was pushing me
got out of inv ot shoot and kill but the gun wouldnt shoot at all even though i had just finished checking ammo
tribal cove
@bold kernel do the while arrow things on the last reserve map you sent show where pmcs spawn?
bold kernel
i think so
havent spawned to all of those but some of those atleast
i think scavs have almost same spawn spots? not exactly the same atleast
i mean player scavs
tribal cove
Idk. I ve been looking for a reserve map that shows where pmcs spawn and this is the first one i see
So i might use it
bold kernel
i killed more than 6 pmcs and i see in overall i kill only 6 why?
and only 9 runs survived and i do more exit more than 15 times
rustic obsidian
It only counts for when you played as pmc, scavving doesn't count into those meters
tribal cove
^ that and run throughs dont count as survived raids
marsh socket
Hey why does it say ammo used 6 but hit count 7
tribal cove
Bcs the bullet either fragmented or it went through an arm and then into the thorax or smth like that
Or it counted the each pellet from shotgun shells
marsh socket
I managed to do my first successful woods raid
tribal cove
Gj. I play a lot of woods too
marsh socket
I managed to kill 4 scavs three of thek were players scavs i think
marsh socket
Also i ended up circling the entire map looking for an exit
atomic knoll
Woods can do that to you lol
rich cloak
Ahh yes the woods experience
marsh socket
I didnt know factory gate needed a scav to open
atomic knoll
Thank the lord that the the map is now 40mins long
At one time, it was at 30 mins
It was.....hell
tribal cove
I know the feeling. First time I played reserve Icircled the mal 2 times to finally find an avali le exit @Chark333#6792

Also i sniped a guy from 260m but lost his body

The loot i got was a little light though
low meadow
do grenades always blow up because sometimes they dont is it a glitch or no
bold kernel
dude i hate how whenever u duo and u load faster u still spawn
why cant we just spawn at the same time
i died while friend was still loadng in
atomic knoll
Both of you running the game on SSDs?
bold kernel
he is im not
atomic knoll
With similar speeds on ISP?
bold kernel
idk i just met him
bold kernel
nah its his ssd he gets good fps but slow loading times
marsh socket
I managed to get some 10-20 dogtags from the scavs i killed should i sell them?
bold kernel
to therapist
atomic knoll
nah its his ssd he gets good fps but slow loading times
@bold kernel SSD - Slow loading times: These do not belong together
bold kernel
he said it no tme
atomic knoll
Even the slowest SSD is much much faster then the fastest HDD

Is there any reason to stockpile dogtags?
bold kernel
maybe i should stick to solos im shy to vc
atomic knoll
There's a quest in the future which requires 10 dogtags from each faction
Other then that, you can trade for some stuff but it's generally not worth it
bold kernel
scavs have dog tags?
marsh socket
They were players scavs who ithink killed soke pmcs

hallow arrow
Anyone know what PC part Tarkov is most reliant on when running? (i.e. GPU, CPU, etc.) I ask because sometimes when I zoom in with a far x scope I lose fps until I unzoom
waxen forge
If it's not listed on the exfil screen options (double tap O) then it's not available for you.
bold kernel
Scopes are not optimised atm
From what I know even streamers with beastly PC's have problems, stutters the most
You need at least 16gb of ram
fast rivet
fuck this quest
hallow arrow
I have 16GB of ram, but thanks for letting me know it's not just me @bold kernel
bold kernel
Also a powerful CPU helps
I play on 1080p with a Ryzen 5 3600x, 16gb ram 3000mhz and gtx 1660ti and it still stutters
Med to high settings and fps are between 50-90
Depending on map
somber bolt
that sucks, i was planning on upgrading to a 3600. But my old i5 with 4cores/4threads @ 4.6ghz oc'd runs the same fps
bold kernel
Ehh, in some games it's worth it, see mordhau
somber bolt
yea I know it would be better in most other games 😛
bold kernel
Newer architecture
somber bolt
Really weird though, EFT only takes around 60-70 % of my old i5 even. So its very badly optimized
somber bolt
yea that I have
really hope the new engine version does some magic for the cpu utilization
bold kernel
is keytool useful if u have docs folder?
somber bolt
its smaller
bold kernel
i just found one and it seems its quite pricy
somber bolt
can fit more in ur pouch, but it only takes keys
bold kernel
almost didnt see it on the ground too lol
yeah
too bad it dont take coins or cash
maybe ill sell it
+700k free cash
lul
somber bolt
bold kernel
If you know what map you're going I feel like a docs case might be more handy
If I'm not mistaken reserve uses the new engine?
yall having issues with CPU? I'm running max settings on a i5 , 1080ti , 16GB setup
Docs case is cheapest
Keytool seems expensive and sicc case is 3mil like wtf
Sicc case is for big bois
no need for a beginner to mess with the sicc case
I don't have what to put in it :)
I like 2 or 3 docs cases
3 for the cost of a keytool and a fraction of sicc case
bold breach
Anyone wanna teach this lvl 4 costums? I've played it a couple of times but i could use some assistance 😄
hallow arrow
@bold kernel Gotcha, I play on 1080p with a i7-9700k and geforce 2060 16gb ddr4 ram . usually have everything on medium or off
hallow arrow
Same here, thanks
bold kernel
@bold breach what do you want to know?
I'm really running a budget setup lol, only expensive part on mine is the 1080ti
bold breach
Just getting used to it I guess? Just want someone to like show me were loot staches are and things 😄
Like someone that can show me where the scav-stache in Factory Far corner is. I swear to god I can't find it.
bold kernel
Oh, well if you check the Wiki, there's maps for every location, both 2D and 3D, with loot stashes and pictures
best to go offline mode and explore the map, with scavs disabled
once you know your way about, enable scavs and try to extract 10 times or so
by then you should be ready for PMC
bold breach
yeah I've done it like a couple of times but I would still rather play with someone you know 😄
bold kernel
there's a LFG chat if you want to find a small group or someone to play with 🙂
I did a customs run with a random last night to help him out
Just did a raid low end gear on Customs raped the dorms and the backpack I had and exfiled with glitched out on me. Getting oofed.

Yeah I thought I'd ask here aswell. I'm a beginner after all 😄

I'd drop the helmet personally.
That helmet won't anything but be able to stop simple pistol bullets or buckshot pellets from shotguns. Anything else will go straight through, while also making your sound worse. Hearing steps, bushes etc will be much harder with it on.

762 PS or 545 PS will have an easy time with it and any 762x51 and sniper round will kill you instantly.
bold kernel
and ok
heavy quest
when I scavspawn with a kolpak first thing I do is drop it
eager marlin
They are both called VPO-101. https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/7.62x51_metal_magazine_for_VPO-101_and_compatibles,_10-round_capacity

repair your armor
also that cheese only heals for 100, not sure if thats enough, well if a decent pmc spots you, you probs die anyway
I'd personally put a pso scope on the hunter for woods to have some range
since a lot of sniping going on there
bold kernel
@bold kernel 15 scav kills for quest

Does cliff descent extract work with an armored rig on in place of body armor?
cerulean arrow
bold kernel
@bold kernel take the cheapest setup you can find, basically, you can just do a scav run, extract with al your gear, take that gear into a pmc run into woods
take your time with it, as with anything in Tarkov
rich cloak
Yes
bold kernel
also, try to save up as much money as possible to put into your hideout. It's gonna feel like a drag but in the end it's worth it. Guns will come and go very fast, but an upgraded hideout will support you in the long run
peak wraith
^
That's the truth
Do the upgrades that are possible for you first then if you low on funds figure out where the best spots to loot items are like motor ands ledx's for you hideout so you can save some money and find them yourself
and figure out what you should be saving instead of selling like graphics cards for the bitcoin mine
bold kernel
most of my money goes into the hideout whenever I have an upgrade available
peak wraith
Good
gloomy heart
any video's to watch to learn the game all i really know is that u have to extract yourself really aha
bold kernel
EHHH
i have a big question about raiders spawning at reserve
they didnt spawn at first bunker alarm, nor did they spawn with train
hollow pecan
My biggest issue with the game is knowing where to extract and knowing where to loot
bold kernel
i went and activated alarm again at 3minutes of match time left came back to bunkers and usec raiders were there shooting at me
how do they actually spawn
if not with the first alarm or train coming and leaving (????)
peak wraith
Look up loot guides on maps there is a ton of really good guides on where the loot spawns on and where to extract
royal wind
They dont always spawn with train or alarm. Its just a chance.
bold kernel
lol
but do the english speaking usec raiders spawn with alarm?
i have only seen them spawn with train and be called "train raiders" 😄
royal wind
Yes, they can. But not every time.
royal wind
What I'm NOT sure about is if you can spawn the raiders multiple times with the alarm or not.
bold kernel
waited whole +40mins at bunker for raiders then scoured the whole k buildings/train station areas, and nothing.
yeah
well second time spawned them
first did not
i saw no raider corpses anywhere nothing
in the last minutes i went and activated alarm again so i can exit from bunker and they "ambushed" my stupid ass along the way back to bunker lol

Somebody wanna give me a tour of interchance so I can learn it a lil bit?

@onyx hollow I can send you a map, and you can wander around in offline if you'd like
peak wraith
Flea market Skier than mechanic
onyx hollow
@native vessel I have the map and ill do offline later if nobody wants to show me, thanks tho
peak wraith
For selling items remember TSM first sell to therapist then skier after that mechanic but try selling on flea market if it sells for more
@warm wagon
onyx hollow
u qt
warm wagon
thanks
also i found a zibbo lighter i recall someone telling me i need it for something
peak wraith
Mhmmm if you have anymore questions feel free to ask and I don't remember which trader but it's 3 zibbos for something
oh
i remember
2 zibbos for a m67 grenade to peacekeeper
or 1 zibbo to jaegar for a saiga mag
royal wind
I think the grenade is worth more. Saiga mags dont go for much.
warm wagon
yeah im not gonna have jaeger any time soon
royal wind
Unless it's the drum.
royal wind
Pretty sure the zibbo is used for a fuel craft.
peak wraith
yeh
royal wind
Unless its just matches and crikents
royal wind
I dont remember, one of the firemakes is used for fuel.
royal wind
lol M67 grenades are pretty tricky right now with the quiet grenade bug.
You throw it and people think it's a quiet grenade that didnt explode, they they push and get blown up by the long fuse.
ancient falcon
someone actually sits in customs office to pick people off...
also why isn't the door open already if someone is already inside?
can they lock it when they go in
?
royal wind
No, but they can close it.
ancient falcon
if they close it, its locked again?
royal wind
No.
ancient falcon
how? in other situations such as doors, theyre open once unlocked
hollow pecan
Ive been trying to do the customs office task for 2 days now and just cant do it someones always camping there
ancient falcon
can people lock the door when they go in?
bold kernel
ancient falcon
I thought it was a good indicator that no one has been inside yet if it's locked

if it's not on the list, dump it

Is labs worth spending the roubles to learn the map? As in can you actually profit from labs without being the best of the best player?

Is labs worth spending the roubles to learn the map? As in can you actually profit from labs without being the best of the best player?
@analog fulcrum put a card in your pocket and play offline it wont use the card
waxen forge
@naive lion Break into parts and sell to skier then mechanic. Maybe the 60 round mag on flea but check flea price compared to mechanic for it.
naive lion
oh true
forgot about that
probably gonna sell to prapor
cause I need his milestone
waxen forge
@analog fulcrum wait til you find a labs card on a scav. Run labs offline a few times to learn the map...then sell the card
plucky lion
Do Scav Escapes use up ur own loot?
waxen forge
?
analog fulcrum
hmm, did know about offline, but I feel I gotta do online to truelly learn the map, to know where PMCs generally go and such
waxen forge
Gotta learn the map in general first
analog fulcrum
but I guess I can do offline to learn extracts and loot
plucky lion
When i select SCAV instead of PMC does it use my personel loot?
karmic meadow
hmm, did know about offline, but I feel I gotta do online to truelly learn the map, to know where PMCs generally go and such
@analog fulcrum pmc will go towards key locked area so just learn the map offline, try atleast to survive the raiders if you don't feel confortable
analog fulcrum
is there any better labs map, like 3d or somethin, besides the one that is copied from wall maps inside labs?
solemn mason
Question: when insure has been retruned how long do u have to retrieve
waxen forge
Yea need to learn the map as is first and how to play against raiders. Do that offlline 3 or 4 times...then either sell the card or give it a try online.
karmic meadow
24 to 36h I think
waxen forge
Labs overrated though
Multi-floor maps are hard to represent in map form. So that is why Interchange and labs "maps" are not the best.
karmic meadow
Or 3 days? Cant remember.

So this new hot fix is 12.3. Isn’t that supposed to be the interchange update?
royal wind
12.3 is already out.
molten ermine
That didn’t answer my question
royal wind
Well considering it's been out before the podcast talking about the interchange update.
Then no, its not the interchange update.
molten ermine
Other words your not sure either
royal wind
lol, sure. If that's how you interpret it.
waxen forge
We've just installed a hotfix 0.12.3.5961 for Escape from Tarkov client. The update is available for download via the launcher.
Fixed:
- Minor optimization of the game client
- Fixed a bug which allowed to disassemble weapon in character’s hands through the preset screen
- Minor visual fixes
- Various bug fixes
So no...not the interchange update

how the fk can i stop reloading single bullets with a mosin

Eventually you start to get more composed during fights

onyx hollow
Yo what are actual good graphic settings? These video's all put me on 50fps
Im used to 140 but 60fps consistent should be good enough
bold kernel
If you type !settings in a lot of streamers chats you can see their graphic settings
I just use the default
onyx orbit
i got kicked in my scav round because of disconnect, joined again and now i can start the scav game again
harsh ibex
i havent change any graphics settings
bold kernel
If you have an nvidia graphics card then you can use freestyle i think it’s called to change colour settings
I don’t use it but a lot of people do
onyx hollow
Never heard of it but ill check it out
wintry badge
Hi, with the tasks objectives, i.e "Hand in 2x MP Shotguns" can you collect these items as a scav to hand them in?
royal wind
Yes, you can even buy them off the FM.
wintry badge
Thank you
tardy pond
Does the as val drop off in bullet velocity as much as the vss?
Or are long range engagements the same or better?
crimson wadi
when i'm doing the mission for prapor when you have to kill 15 scavs on woods, do you have to be your pmc or can you scav run it?
elder crypt
all quests you have to be PMC
other than finding in raid items
you can get those either way
crimson wadi
thats grand thanks
formal agate
are there any certain locations where i can find secure usb flash drives 100% of the time? i'm so done trying to find them, i need only 2 to complete the quest which i've been stuck on for the last 3 days
formal agate
i need to get them in the raid
elder crypt
nope its all luck
native vessel
or atleast not to my knowledge
elder crypt
best shot is to go to Interchange and check the offices
formal agate
ffs jaeger quests are the worst
elder crypt
plenty of PCs to go through
formal agate
yeah, i've been out of luck with them i either get in too late, or there's just one there
like today, i went there with a friend and he only got one out of all the offices
royal wind
I always tend to find flash drives in the PCs in the van on customs. Not sure if they have a higher spawn rate or what, but I tend to find some there a lot.
Even though there's only 2 in there.
languid flare
@formal agate Only one is actually lucky.
They are fairly rare
formal agate
@royal wind could you please specify what is the "van on customs"? i tend to only play interchange and woods, don't really know any other map
royal wind
It's a van... on customs... has 2 computers inside. Outside the southeast weapon box warehouse.
elder crypt
Is it a van near Big Red Warehouse?
formal agate
@languid flare well another friend of mine told me that he found about 5 in one day when he was playing alone then also scavs brought him 2 more, so i assumed that they aren't that rare, just my luck
languid flare
elder crypt
so they are even rarer than before
royal wind
Nah, that's the west side ofcustoms. It's outside the repair shop with the USEC stash and Warehouse with 2 weapon boxes.
Yeah, there you go.
elder crypt
ah ok
languid flare
@formal agate Nah, they are rare, you only need a total of 8
And only 3 are in raid
elder crypt
best shot is to hold off on the quest and do it once you can craft them in your hideout
if you really don't feel like continuing to search for them.
languid flare
Thats one way, sure
formal agate
oh, ok, thank you all guys for the replies, i'll check out that location
languid flare
But considering I found them all, by just going through Interchange
Its not too hard
royal wind
Yeah, interchange will always be the best option. So many computers.
languid flare
Few days ago, found one in the computer in dorms
Its really random and I doubt any computer has a higher chance
Remember: They are not in the PC, they are physically sticking out the port
formal agate
yeah, it's either i find 2 more flash drives or shoot 5 scavs in the legs and 3 scavs in the head from 80 meters lol
languid flare
You'll have to do both sooner or later anyway xD

I was just asking because went in as a scav onto Reserve and found an ak with it on

storm estuary
do you guys know of any easy ways to do the ice cream cones quest
karmic meadow
wiki the quest
storm estuary
yea they just say the same thing as prapor
karmic meadow
Just buy them off the flea market
If the quest says "Find" and not "Find in raid" it doesn't matter which way you provide them
karmic meadow
all good
Also note that items crafted in your hideout counts as "Found in raid" items
Which can come handy for some quests.
karmic meadow
Just passing on the knowledge that was given to me lol

Whats the best way to earn "safe" money now? All the guides I find are old and say to find a dead server to go and loot on but I dont think there are any dead servers anymore.
spark hawk
Become a rat
worthy cobalt
that means what?
waxen forge
Use scav to loot tech/hardware on Interchange or Reserve
spark hawk
Hide loot hide loot hide
waxen forge
Don't shoot other scavs.
Don't look for fights with PMC (If goal is to make $)
Get out and compare therapist to flea price. IF she's close sell to her.
fluid cave
guys what can i do if i was running and then it says server connection lost then i recconnect and find my self dead ?
worthy cobalt
I dont care if I die with all my gear since I think its more fun to do pvp with the best gear I can get. So I just need a good way to earn some cash in-between those runs.
But then I guess what I have been doing is the best way then. I do what you told me mostly
stone surge
@fluid cave you either died to a player
or it took you more than 5-6mins to reconnect
you die after a while
stone surge
you also die if the server timer ran out ofc
fluid cave
no no it was 40 min away
fluid cave
i was on resort
stone surge
you reconnected within 5min?
stone surge
then i could only think of a player or scav killing you
fluid cave
next thing i know my health is 0
worthy cobalt
Then I would guess you got killed
stone surge
unlucky, but a player or scav got you then
