[pastel lagoon]

actually idk

i dont know what you just said

lol

[woeful dawn]

you are better off with a paper mask vs nothing.

[stone moss]

But some fort armor m995 and lots of bandages bois

[pastel lagoon]

bruh but the real danger

[echo rune]

Actually the surgical mask would be better than the n95 > n95 will block a fair amount but even n100/p100 wont stop 100% of corona virus
@woeful dawn

[stone moss]

It's about to get tarkov up in this olace

[pastel lagoon]

the 0.01 % of germs hand sanitizer doesnt kill

[stone moss]

I drink bleach to kill the virus

[woeful dawn]

it does

but it needs to sit on the surface for a specific amount of time.

ah i misread agentice post..bleach kills the virus

[stone moss]

Big thing isn't the virus itself but affect on supplies and eco omy.

Lol

[woeful dawn]

at my local walmart(central fl) all the cleaning supplies were gone, all the bleach nearly all the OTC meds. They have like 1 or 2 random things

[pastel lagoon]

yes

[stone moss]

Wow

[pastel lagoon]

everyone is worried

[woeful dawn]

exactly. people have no idea that if trucks stop for 1 day the stores would be empty.

[pastel lagoon]

but theyhave a treatment

[stone moss]

Yah people going nuts and buying those shit emergency food kits too

[woeful dawn]

3 days there would be NOTHING in your local stores

[pastel lagoon]

but itll take too long to get to everyone

[stone moss]

It's all rice and pasta

[woeful dawn]

I have 3 months of food.

but that's normal for me.

water filters

[stone moss]

Yea

[woeful dawn]

n100 masks

[pastel lagoon]

there is this store that sell 3l water jugs for .79c each

go to japanese supermarkets

[woeful dawn]

you in europe Bruh?

[stone moss]

I got food water and ammo

[pastel lagoon]

they sell tons of water

no

[stone moss]

The necessities

[pastel lagoon]

101oz

[woeful dawn]

1 gallon of water is like about a buck at walmart here but its 100% sold out

[stone moss]

Wow

[pastel lagoon]

just go to japanese supermarkets

im telling you

[woeful dawn]

no fucking way ^

[lament quarry]

just spawned in with a 1.2mil key on a scav run..i'm a trash player..this is gonna be a rough time.

[stone moss]

I have a natural spring near me so I luck out living in the xountry

Gl brady

[woeful dawn]

I live on a river and could filter the water if need be.

[pastel lagoon]

look

[stone moss]

That works.

[pastel lagoon]

.89c for 1l water

[woeful dawn]

but if we come to that point we are fucked.

[pastel lagoon]

sandos

if you need any nows the time to buy

[woeful dawn]

I have a thing for my bathtub that will make 100 gallons in a sealed container. you put a little bleach and it's sterile.

[stone moss]

It's. Funny because the food in tarkov is a lot of what I have in stock...

[woeful dawn]

I have plenty of water Bruh

[pastel lagoon]

none of it?

[woeful dawn]

ty though

[pastel lagoon]

ok

dude

i went to the store

[woeful dawn]

trust me, buy OTC meds like tylenol, ibuprofen and cold meds. they will run out

[pastel lagoon]

this lady had a cart full of those 1l jugs

i have some motrin

[woeful dawn]

i buy 50 at a time of distilled for my fish tank.

[pastel lagoon]

and i need to see if i still have some tylenol

[woeful dawn]

you can buy bottles of 1k OTC meds for like $9/each on amazon.

[pastel lagoon]

but i dont think i have ibuprofen

[woeful dawn]

spend $40 and get 1k of everything

china makes almost all of our meds

supply line is disrutped

brb in rain

raid

[pastel lagoon]

alright

want to hop into a raid once your all done?

[woeful dawn]

ok

[austere mortar]

does having higher inteligence center gives you better scavs?

[stone moss]

A lot of companies have already changed supply chains though

I don't think it is going to be Armageddon, but may be uncomfortable for a while.

If it does get bad.

The thing is it will likely come back next year.

[pastel lagoon]

i doubt itll come back

once its got a fast treatment it wont be much of a threat

and vaccines will be made

[stone moss]

Unless it mutates a lot between now and then.

[pastel lagoon]

this isnt plague inc

but ok

[uncut socket]

Lmao

[pastel lagoon]

i dont think it will get to serious

[woeful dawn]

it's already mutated in a family of 5 people , they all had diff stains. this is a biological weapon IMHO

[pastel lagoon]

but history proves me wrong

all these years had some sort of serious virus

1620

1720

1820

1920

we next

[meager cliff]

whats a good way to get energy back?

[stone moss]

Quite possibly. They had a bio lab in the town it started in. Either way it's out now so...

Eat food

[uncut socket]

Spanish Flu part 2

[karmic meadow]

whats a good way to get energy back?
@meager cliff eat food

[sly cradle]

Does anyone know what loot the health resort management office safe key contains? I just got 1, but they are 200k at the flea market. Why?

[stone moss]

No clue

[pastel lagoon]

some safes can be keycard spawns

[dusty patio]

should i sell my factory exit key if im new or keep it

[stone moss]

Keep

[woeful dawn]

keep it in a safe container

[stone moss]

Used for factory and customs

[woeful dawn]

will save ur ass

[rotund sand]

can be valuable for customs

[dusty patio]

safe container?

[sly cradle]

buy a docs casw

[stone moss]

Your alpha

Or beta or gamma

[sly cradle]

or kappa

[stone moss]

Omega

[sly cradle]

but not likely

[rotund sand]

pouch slot, simply put

[dusty patio]

oh ok

do i put all my keys in there?

[stone moss]

Ya if u r taking on raid

[rotund sand]

if you have a key tool or doc case, you can put the keys in those

[stone moss]

But keep the keytool or docs case in the container

Lol

[rotund sand]

yeah xD

the saddest part of having an alpha is watching streamers use their surv12

[weary path]

does anyone else freeze whenever another player looks at them, like just fucking lag and get killed for free

[stone moss]

Yes

If they shoot sometimes it lags

[pastel lagoon]

also

the hospital refused to test me

[woeful dawn]

leave a spot or two free in ur docs case so when you get a key that's worth 100k+ you immediately throw it in there. i have my least valuable keys at the bottom so if i get a rare one i cna drop one that is like 10k or something

[pastel lagoon]

it took me about half an hour to make them test me

[stone moss]

Wow

[pastel lagoon]

i didnt understand

do yall have any ideas why

it was an emergency room aswell btw

[stone moss]

They don't care

Or have the means

[rotund sand]

legit thought this was still about Tarkov

[pastel lagoon]

lol nah

[stone moss]

Lol

Scav hospital

[pastel lagoon]

we are talking about corona time

[rotund sand]

oh you were going to get it checked out?

[stone moss]

Have some Lyme disease with that carona

[rotund sand]

I see, hope you are fine

[pastel lagoon]

i just have a normal fl

flu

[high crescent]

Everyone probably has it

[pastel lagoon]

nothing else

not yet

but its possible

[rotund sand]

better be safe than sorry

[high crescent]

It takes awhile to incubate and if we’re finding active cases in New York and Boston than it’s probably most of the world soon

It really will only kill u if ur old or just of poor health

So thank god the boomers are gone

[pastel lagoon]

a lot of the coastal cities are getting cases

so

[high crescent]

It just reached the first couple provinces in my country

How many ppl go thru New York

A lot family

[rotund sand]

Iran has lots of cases, so our Escape from Corona might end soon

[high crescent]

I can guarantee u unless u actually live in bumfuck nowhere EU or something you will come into contact with it

[stone moss]

And chances of nuclear war

[rotund sand]

irl This War of Mine soon

[iron valve]

is there some way to convert dollars into rubles?

without busting my ass by buying shit for $ and then selling it on flea

[stone moss]

Nooe

[high crescent]

Ya

It’s called

G2A

[iron valve]

that's like 10 times worse

[high crescent]

Hey Man U axed

[tardy pond]

G2a?

Hows that gonna give you ingame stuff

[woeful dawn]

at what level should i get jaeger to level 2. he is holding me up on everything

[stone moss]

Heck with jaeger

[woeful dawn]

i need water cooler level 2 for hideout

[stone moss]

Have fun

Those quests are a pain

[woeful dawn]

i see that

[stone moss]

I also had him glitch and two quests and not give me rep

So I gave up on him xD

[high crescent]

@tardy pond it’s where u buy roubles

[strong barn]

@high crescent you are not funny. please stop wasting peoples time.

[tardy pond]

With rl money?

Im just

[high crescent]

Hahah what the fuck

[tardy pond]

Wondering if I'm gettinf trolled

Or not

[high crescent]

If u gotta ask bro

[strong barn]

@tardy pond Yes, and he is a bad one.

[high crescent]

I got some bad news

[tardy pond]

I thought so

Im just glad that shit doesnt exist

[high crescent]

Go away 2013 pikachu pic I used on my steam profile

It does

[strong barn]

LOL

[stone moss]

Lol

[high crescent]

There’s a couple other sites but most of them are in ruski

Just use cheat engine highkey. Battle eye blows

[strong barn]

This guy can't even come up with an arguement that uses the two IQ points he has left
@high crescent 🤡

[stone moss]

Lol

[high crescent]

Lunar halo why r u mad I gave a suggestion

Homeboy asked how to trade dollars for roubles

That wasn’t on the flea

[strong barn]

Wasting new players time telling them to check G2A to convert rubles to cash.
@tardy pond Pm me if u wanna play some time, Im not feeding this anymore.
Imbeciles gunna imbecil

[high crescent]

Lmaoo okay daddy

Also the best beginner tip is to enable freestyle so u can see n in the dark

[stone moss]

The cancer in this chat though

[tardy pond]

@strong barn thanks for the offer but im good thanks :P

[stone moss]

Need a ledrx

[tardy pond]

Im not a new player either haha

[rotund sand]

lol

[tardy pond]

@stone moss yep pure cancer, i was just being naïve making sure there wasnt any irl trading yet😂

[stone moss]

Lol

It's usually good to keep some USD around though

For parts and ammo

[rotund sand]

favourite time of the day, crafting more wires

[stone moss]

Oh boy

So exciting

[dusty patio]

is m80 worth keeping or sell?

[night trench]

Whats best way to farm xp for level?

Just killing scavs?

[rotund sand]

if you want to use that caliber, M80 is told to be good for its price

doing quests and surviving, since survival gives you bonus exp

[woeful dawn]

how do i get 5/5 bullets in a mosin during a raid? when i hit R to reload it will max give me 4/5

[onyx wraith]

That's cause one is in the chamber

[tardy pond]

1 in chamber , 4 in mag

[woeful dawn]

ok i am an idiot. wow

ty

[rose surge]

LVL 58 dm me if you need help

[night trench]

surviving means exfilling?

havent waited till timer ends yet to see what happens

[rotund sand]

yeah extracting before time ends

if timer ends, you are considered missing in action

and you lose your stuff

[tardy pond]

unless you drop it all on the floor 😛 that way insurance returns it

[rotund sand]

oh right, insurance doesn't work if timer ends, so gotta drop that, too, true xD

[tardy pond]

yep 😛

[pulsar jungle]

what those commend in top?

[rotund sand]

thats an XML tree and I have no clue how it got there p:

you could think of it as a primitive error log, I guess

text appears to mention discord overlay, maybe it's related, so I'd try disabling that and see if there is a correlation

[brisk spear]

nvr been to reserv, looking for help

[rotund sand]

@stone moss added you as friend. wish we could retract friend requests btw, DogFace_2 that I added by mistake through flea still hasn't accepted and my OCD is not happy

[craggy loom]

lfg to help me get some experience get some good shit for once lvl 11 @ me :)

pls :)

[stone moss]

Lol

I'll accept once I get home

[night trench]

scav exp doesnt add to level experoence no?

[stone moss]

Nope

It's just wasted

[night trench]

ok

kinda comfused why it appears tho

[grave stump]

whats best ammko for m1a

i know m61 has best pen

but you know how 7n1 is better for mosin rather than snb

so is m80 better in m1a?

[night trench]

no merchants buys knives no?

[agile forge]

Jaegar buys knives

[rotund sand]

or you can sell them to fence for like 1k, but would rather just save up 8 for a trade

[night trench]

whats a trade?

[rotund sand]

Peacekeeper gives an MP5 for 8 knives

[bold kernel]

for the vss should i use 20 round since 30 round is like 30k?

[night trench]

oh cool

I have 4 of that type

is stupid to sell keys when starting?

[stone moss]

@grave stumpm80 is budget but not guarantee kill unless you hit in the face. I'd do m61 or 62

[night trench]

like I see they sell for a lot but not sure if should be keeping for later

[austere mortar]

fucking lost class 6 and altyn to a camper

[stone moss]

@bold kernel30 round because you will need it

Campers... Gross...

[craggy loom]

lfg to help me get some experience get some good shit for once lvl 11 @ me :)

[austere mortar]

fucking camping under the powerline rocks

just to kill us

lost all my 400k gear

[stone moss]

Hopefully he gets extract camped

[rotund sand]

when I get a good key, I sell it, but if you think you will make use of the key yourself, I'd say keep it for use

[onyx zealot]

hey guys wheres the best places to get #fireklean?

[austere mortar]

he camped near the gas station in customs

[stone moss]

Flea market

[austere mortar]

this sucks

losting 500k gears to a single camper

[stone moss]

Yea

[austere mortar]

wait no

800k

[stone moss]

Camping is pretty rampant lately

[valid mulch]

if I do an emergency reload with an ensured mag and I don't pick it back up

does it come back to me in the ensure time?

[austere mortar]

it is bs

[stone moss]

Yes

[flat cipher]

sure, but no ammo

just the mag

[austere mortar]

name is oemotiono

[valid mulch]

ok that's fine

ty

[austere mortar]

hope he dies to a pscav

[night trench]

after item return from insurance need to reinsure no?

[rotund sand]

yes

[stone moss]

That's y I don't go fat boy unless I'm with a group

[austere mortar]

we are a group

3 man

we didn't hear him

so he is there

for a very long time

[stone moss]

They all die too?

[austere mortar]

all died

[stone moss]

And ya camper don't normally move

Wow that's lame

[austere mortar]

suddenly we got naded

so we thought it was reshalas guard

since we are beside gas station

and we hear scav

then he shot us

easily

[stone moss]

Man

[austere mortar]

he is so fucking lucky

the scav mumbles makes us thinks it is scav boss

but it wasnt

i hate when someone became so lucky

it became unfair

[stone moss]

May have been counting on that

Prob not the first time be did that and now he will def do it again since it paid off

[austere mortar]

campers have no balls

was gonna enjoy

running down dorms with 95 round bs

[stone moss]

Yah

[rotund sand]

that guy is my evolved version, I guess

[austere mortar]

hate it when u bring like altyn and then the game decide to match you with someone that brings good ammo

but when you dont

u meet people that uses bp bt m855a1s

[pseudo spire]

Hey all, newby here!

[stone moss]

Sup

[austere mortar]

hi, i am sad

[pseudo spire]

Why are you sad?

[austere mortar]

read above

i was expecting to die

but not like this

this is so humiliating

[pseudo spire]

It's okay, I've died every time and never extracted so far. I have 0 gear. My will to live is decreasing.

Rank 2 btw haaaa

[stone moss]

Lol

[austere mortar]

i brought expensive gears

[stone moss]

Tarkov does that to you

[austere mortar]

hoping to die in a massive firefight

with dignity

[ashen hawk]

Can anyone help me get the message from jager

[rotund sand]

can safely say you'll learn the game if you are already at 0 gear

[kind tartan]

Dark just take a mosin and run there and away

[rotund sand]

I'm envious of people who could do that

[pseudo spire]

Why are all the voice channels locked for beginners?

[kind tartan]

Read rules

[pseudo spire]

I mean I did... What

[sweet ravine]

is it better to sell 8x knives on market or trade for an MP5?

[stone moss]

Trade

[night trench]

what ??? mean

[rotund sand]

you didn't pick up his dogtag

[night trench]

ah

I did but died

[rotund sand]

when you do, you see their names

ah right, same if you lost it before extracting

[craggy loom]

lfg to help me get some experience get some good shit for once lvl 11 @ me :)

[night trench]

Im supposed to kill player when pmc?

or should be ally

[stone moss]

Every man for himself besides who you bring in.

[night trench]

but general consensus should avoid players or most players just kill on sight?

[onyx wraith]

General consensus is kill everyone

[cursive shoal]

Kill everything that moves

[rotund sand]

scavs could "theoretically" team up in a raid, but seems like one in a million case to me

just kill on sight

[valid mulch]

I guess getting an empty mag back after an emergency reload is fine

because well

it was an emergency reload

shit's empty

[onyx wraith]

You only get empty mags back in insurance

[valid mulch]

was about to say insured

[rotund sand]

yeah, ammo does not return

[valid mulch]

well that's ok cuz emergency reload lol

but the item has to stay in the raid right

even if someone picks it up and they die without extracting

[stone moss]

Ya

[valid mulch]

cool

[bold kernel]

But no one is going to pickup a mag off the floor

Nobody is looking around on the ground for that kinda shit

[proper ginkgo]

when will I get An apple a day - keeps the doctor away from therapist? Did every quest from her and I didnt get it. Its not in my completed quests either

[bold kernel]

It only occurs if you have rep lower than a certain number

[valid mulch]

lmao just drop all the mags when you die

[bold kernel]

An apple a day - keeps the doctor away

An apple a day - keeps the doctor away is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.

[proper ginkgo]

@bold kernel its now a rep quests

says absolutely nothing about rep I already checked the wiki

[bold kernel]

Nvm

[proper ginkgo]

lol

[bold kernel]

I was thinking of something else

Like trust regain or sum was what I was thinking about

[proper ginkgo]

nope

[bold kernel]

Have you completed healthcare privacy pt 3

[proper ginkgo]

I already said I completed all her quests

[bold kernel]

Idk dude

Sometimes quests are bugged

It’s not a required quest for kappa though

[proper ginkgo]

i want the health points

[rotund sand]

https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/115177-an-apple-a-day-keeps-the-doctor-away-quest-is-bugged-and-gone-from-my-list/ no forum reply, either, it seems

[cursive shoal]

is there a way to quickly fold the stocks of weapons that you are inspecting? or is it always right click and then click fold

[bold kernel]

Middle click

[dire rock]

Mouse 3 in menu or alt L in game

[cursive shoal]

life saver.. .thank you both

[dire rock]

He got it first lol

[rotund sand]

middle click folds the weapon?

[stone moss]

Stock

[dire rock]

The stock

[rotund sand]

ah

[dire rock]

If it’s foldable

Most aren’t

Some should be but aren’t

[rotund sand]

I guess I never middle clicked on a weapon before, TIL xD

[bold kernel]

Middle click also checks how many rounds are left in a magazine

Also turns on face shield

[stone moss]

And examines items

[rotund sand]

knew none of these, indeed

well Alt+T and N still do count as shortcuts, so not as bad, I guess

[dire rock]

Yeah sometimes it’s a good idea to just start clicking buttons

That’s how I found half the keybinds

[rotund sand]

I only discovered free look like 2 days ago p:

[dire rock]

Mine hardly works

[night trench]

If you are running scav can AI scavs misidentify you?

[rotund sand]

nope

[dire rock]

No

[night trench]

🤔

[dire rock]

Ai scavs only shoot you if you shoot another scav

[night trench]

Then I think I ran into player scav impersonating ai scav

[dire rock]

Either that or you shot another scav

[spark marsh]

Ai boss guards and such will still shoot you as well

[night trench]

because they were walking slowly doing patrol route near other scav and suddenly he turned around and shot me

[karmic garden]

@rotund sand when I'm recovered from my medical issues you should come do heavily geared factory pvp raids with me in a duo

[dire rock]

Where were you @night trench

[night trench]

shoreline

[proper ginkgo]

does anyone go in geared to factory? All i ever run into is hatchlings and budget kits

[karmic garden]

@proper ginkgo I do

[rotund sand]

@karmic garden wish you a speedy recovery! heavily geared factory pvp raids sound like straight up facing the elephant in the room for me

[karmic garden]

@rotund sand I'll give you the gear

[dire rock]

@proper ginkgo that map has a tendency to kill you in the stupidest ways so most people me included prefer to just not run it

I scav into it that’s all

[karmic garden]

I'd say you get geared people maybe 2/5 factory raids and almost every one on night

[rotund sand]

thanks for the kindness, though I'd probably need to do the opposite

like go in with little and get killed

[dire rock]

Customs is my favorite map

[karmic garden]

Maybe, but going in with gear that isn't yours would be good to get over the initial anxiety

[rotund sand]

one kind person from here gave me a reap-ir to play with when we tried to play together as a bunch

losing that felt much worse than losing any gear I had myself

[karmic garden]

Just go into it knowing you will eventually lose the gear

And you can always get more

And then the game wipes anyway

All gear is transient, it's the experiences you have that last

[rotund sand]

maybe if I learn some map better, I'll get over my fear gradually

[karmic garden]

Yeah map knowledge is key

What timezone are you?

[rotund sand]

but still, if I hear someone, I go hide by instinct

er, GMT+3, I think

[dire rock]

Yeah getting over gear fear is difficult

[karmic garden]

OK cool I'm gmt. When I'm well again I want to help you out

[rotund sand]

mine is death fear before gear fear

[karmic garden]

Yeah I understand that @rotund sand

No one likes to get pwned

[dire rock]

The more scared you are of something the less effective you are against it

[karmic garden]

However you can become Teh Pwn3r

[dire rock]

Just gotta get into the mindset that you can fight whatever you see

[karmic garden]

@dire rock massive agree

[rotund sand]

I'm not used to shooter games and I know my aim is bad, so confidence leads to more deaths

*no confidence

[dire rock]

Aim isn’t a big factor

[karmic garden]

@rotund sand all this can be helped, but it's super hard to do it yourself if you're lacking in confidence

[dire rock]

Honestly a 1v1 point blank gunfight is just whoever is luckier

[karmic garden]

Yeah

[dire rock]

Position and outsmarting your enemy are how you win

[karmic garden]

I got killed on Xmas day with Fort, altyn, and meta sa-58 by a pscav with an AKM

[rotund sand]

@karmic garden yeah which is why I asked my friend who has the game to play with me like 100 times this wipe and got 0 positive replies xD

[karmic garden]

@rotund sand well I would like to help you out

I have 71% s/r and >21 k/d

[rotund sand]

jesus

[karmic garden]

We have the technology to rebuild you

[rotund sand]

my 8% survival rate wants to have a go

[dire rock]

I’m only sitting on a 20 or so

[karmic garden]

Tbh none of the stats matter through

[dire rock]

Ye

[karmic garden]

It's if you have fun playing

[dire rock]

My 2 K/D sounds good but it’s honestly just a bunch of scavs

[proper ginkgo]

also someone who mainly plays for loot is going to have different stats than someone who purely pvps

[rotund sand]

well what I'd like to do is at least be able to loot without much paranoia

[proper ginkgo]

even between slow and fast pvps stats will be different

[dire rock]

And every death teaches you another lesson on what to do

[karmic garden]

Yeah being more confident helps in every aspect of the game

[dire rock]

Every time you die it’s because you made a mistake, keep fixing those mistakes and you’ll be golden

[proper ginkgo]

you can easily get a higher SR than quattro but thats because he tries insane shit, doesnt mean yorue better

stats dont mean much

[karmic garden]

Exactly @proper ginkgo

I video every fight, especially the ones where I die, and watch them back

It's an extremely useful thing to do

[rotund sand]

I try to watch some famous streamers, but I know its not something to try at home

started using Nvidia highlights, so I now record some kills and deaths

[spark hawk]

Watch devildoggamer he doesn’t have a huge twitch following but he’s a tarkov OG

[karmic garden]

The other thing to realise is that not everyone you meet is super deadly. There are more bad and mediocre players than very good ones

Never underestimate people

[cursive shoal]

I've died more as a scav to other scavs than I ever have to a PMC as a scav

[karmic garden]

But don't overestimate them either

[rotund sand]

yeah I did meet a few players I'd have possibly killed if I didn't go true potato

[cursive shoal]

I'll spawn in and see a scav, thinking its AI I kinda wander around, looting, then it just stops, turns and 1 taps me to the face lol

Not an AI, but a player acting like it

[night trench]

so far I havent "met" any good players because im supposing the good ones are those that you dont even see just hear a zzzzip and screen goes black

so cant say you met them :P

[karmic garden]

@cursive shoal if you watch the ai scavs they kinda glide around and scan left to right while not aggro

[cursive shoal]

good players are the ones you hear "snap" and the screen is black

[spark hawk]

Don’t ai scavs start shooting if you hang around them to long

Or is that just raiders

[karmic garden]

No

[cursive shoal]

just raiders

[karmic garden]

Raiders, scav boss guards, normal scavs when killa is near

[rotund sand]

check out my insane camping highlight in videos

[night trench]

do scavs have a max range they can stray away from their patrol?

[proper ginkgo]

@rotund sand 😆

[night trench]

or if you make enough noise could potentially bait all scavs of the map to converge somewhere

[rotund sand]

I sat in that room for 15 minutes because I heard someone outside

and then I heard another guy whom checked my room

[karmic garden]

@rotund sand haha

[rotund sand]

that guy probably thought "what a fucking camper" when in reality I was just super scared

[karmic garden]

@night trench at the moment all scavs on the map will chase down hatchlings

[spark hawk]

I also hang around scavs and watch them till a pmc is near and kinda watch what way they shooting then pick the pmc off

[night trench]

so say I keep throwing grenades on the same spot every minute, potentially 15 scavs appearing on that spot after a few mins?

[karmic garden]

If they're in range to come check it out

[rotund sand]

this could happen right after they chase down a hatchling, I guess, lol

[karmic garden]

Haha

[night trench]

in factory I see most of the time scavs converge on the good players

[stone moss]

Nope

[night trench]

no I mean

like they hear gunshot and go

so good player goes up to safebox

[stone moss]

They go to noise

[night trench]

and always 5-7 bodies there

[rotund sand]

map is too small for them to not notice

[stone moss]

If you go in with no armor they will agro you

[night trench]

I get usually more loot from bodies there than in safebox

[karmic garden]

Factory is kinda different because it's small and they are spawning during the raid

[night trench]

like more value loot assuming space

[rotund sand]

whats the safebox

[night trench]

uhm

[stone moss]

In office the safe

[night trench]

thing under desk

[rotund sand]

oh the safe in office, aite

for some reason I thought it was the room up there looking over gate 3, no clue why I thought that

[stone moss]

The one you plant the briefcase in?

[karmic garden]

That's the place where you shoot people trying to do delivery from the past

[rotund sand]

yeah I think thats the one, I didn't do that quest, but I know it is the one

[stone moss]

I usually leave them alone lol

[karmic garden]

I spray them down with a full mag of AP SX

[stone moss]

Yah I'd do that too but I can get kills easy enough without ruining someone's quest

[rotund sand]

Crusty is ruthless

[karmic garden]

Everything on factory must die

It's the rules

[rotund sand]

is it your favourite map by some chance?

[stone moss]

I'm not afraid if questers so I usually let them be unless they shoot at me.

[karmic garden]

It is recently because of getting so sick, when I've been able to play it's only for short periods of time

And factory is fast

[rotund sand]

ah, true

[karmic garden]

I think probably my favourite map is interchange

Then customs

[night trench]

uhm

[rotund sand]

interchange I really do want to like

[night trench]

game moved to second monitor

how to change back?

[rotund sand]

and then I go inside the mall and open a toolbox, making an insane sound

[karmic garden]

Haha

[night trench]

this while I was loading

[stone moss]

Weird

[night trench]

wtf

I spawned dead

[karmic garden]

F

[rotund sand]

was it a factory scav?

[stone moss]

Sounds like tarkov

[night trench]

factory pmc

[rotund sand]

oh

well still possible

[stone moss]

Yep

[rotund sand]

my scav record is 2 seconds

[stone moss]

Hah

[rotund sand]

I died before I could control my character

[night trench]

was loading, screen moved to second monitor, said get ready and after countdown finished dead music sounds and says raid ended

[rotund sand]

what was the raid time count

[stone moss]

Feelsbadman

[rotund sand]

like 10 seconds or something?

[night trench]

1 second

[rotund sand]

what the fuck

now thats not really realistic

[karmic garden]

Your pmc had coronavirus

[night trench]

I didnt lose much was cheap pistol build

[stone moss]

Pretty sure that kills you slower than that

[night trench]

but like not fair

[karmic garden]

@stone moss he's had it for a while

That's why the usec guy has such a pained expression on his face

[stone moss]

I had my 5 man reduced to a 1 man in reserve once at spawn.

We got in 5 min late and someone with thermals killed my team as they we're loading in...

[night trench]

pmc spawns are prefixed no?

[rotund sand]

ouch

5 minutes

[stone moss]

Yah late spawn is retarded

[rotund sand]

super unlucky

even more so if you were up for some geared fun time

[night trench]

ive also had bug with my character

I chose USEC but started with ak74u and has bear logo on raid start

but has usec next to nick and my guy shouts in english

[stone moss]

Nice

[night trench]

am I western spy?

lol

[stone moss]

I like my vodka shaken, not stirred

[rotund sand]

Western spy

sounds like a plot to me

[night trench]

ok this not funny anymore, where can I change the monitor for the game?

is stuck on second I see no option

[stone moss]

No clue. I only have 1 monitor. =/

[rotund sand]

same

[night trench]

I think I have to make window and the move

[rotund sand]

sad stuff

[night trench]

thats lame

oh and borderless doesnt remove windows taskbar

:/

im forced fullscreen then

[stone moss]

[night trench]

oh wait

now I cant change settings because taskbar over game screen

:(

[stone moss]

Oh man

[night trench]

ugh

ok so either I remove taskbar or change game config file to return fullscreen

whats this

vr-enabled=0

[stone moss]

Lmao vr tarkov

[night trench]

🧐

its on the boot config file

[stone moss]

Just a couple more hours until tarkov ..

[craggy seal]

hi im new and would love a duo partner!

[rotund sand]

gotta hang on, Agent 47!

thought this was supposed to be Doc-Shroud Tarkov stream night, disappointed

[stone moss]

I can't... I been infected... By the 🍵 virus

[rotund sand]

all that walking on the metals and stuff, a matter of time for tetanus to be in game

[craggy seal]

lmao

[stone moss]

Then I can call myself "Lockjaw"

[main light]

Whats a nice scope for medium/long range shots with adar

[glass forum]

I have a couple of Mp153s from scav runs, is it worth it to just sell em and buy guns like sks's for my pmc or are they worth using early?

[stone moss]

Can use with AP slugs

[river ruin]

Shotgun factory runs fosho

[stone moss]

Shotgun anywhere

[grim night]

If you have good ammo and hit your shots Mp153 is good. @glass forum

and if you dont just disassemble them and sell the parts

[river ruin]

High flesh DMG ammo aim below the waist

Take out em nuts

[stone moss]

Break the leg

[dark wolf]

anyone fancy going for a svac raid with lvl 4 ?

[glass forum]

alright cool, ill try them out thanks guys

[nocturne heart]

anyone teaching reserves here :)

[grim night]

offline mode and watch steamers/youtubers it will help you out

[stone moss]

I could agree with offline mode

[grim night]

streamers and youtubers mostly take the popular routes, and know a lot of the stuff, and some of them give out tips as theyre playing.

[nocturne heart]

i cant even find a good map for reserves, really hard to understand where i am

[stone moss]

Yea it helps to have a guide and to just go in offline and look around. Eventually you learn the map

It's actually a relatively easy map.

[grim night]

For bunker Door extract, you will need to flick the switch in the top left building that is blue. And make it to the extract before the siren stops

[nocturne heart]

is there a larger version of that?

[grim night]

the building with the little *

[nocturne heart]

when i open it in chrome its v small

[grim night]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/File:ReserveMap3d.jpg then click the map again

[nocturne heart]

thanks u brother

[night trench]

Skier trade of rechergable battery for ADAR 2-15 is good?

[stone moss]

Yea good trade

[grim night]

Id personally just go into a raid as scav and fine a scav with an adar and customize it myself

[cursive shoal]

holy shit this game is a roller coaster of emotions

[stone moss]

Lol

But yeah the trade is worth it all epeen aside

Easy money or free gun that is actually decent.

[rotund sand]

reserve 3d map is my favourite thing to look at in this game

[night trench]

yeah I saw gun valued more than battery

gonna resell gun for profit I think

[stone moss]

That's what I do.

[grim night]

Adar isnt that good TBH, Just buy an M4 colt and edit it.

[stone moss]

All preference

[night trench]

idk

stock of adar look cool

[rotund sand]

if we are talking about coolness factor, VAL is my fav

[grim night]

VSS better.

[ornate sail]

val is so good

vss as well

[nocturne heart]

onemore q fellow gamers, on the reserve map that was sent, do scavs have same spawn point as PMC's?

[stone moss]

It's more or less the same gun

[night trench]

gonna try pistol on factory again

[cursive shoal]

fuck... i got so much shit in my scav run i am gonna spend my entire scav cooldown just selling shit lol

[ornate sail]

player scabs?

scav

[night trench]

I swear if I cant spawn again im never returning to factory

[stone moss]

Lol

[grim night]

dont go factory till you got better gear or if you are a scav. Its full of tryhards lol

[ornate sail]

i can’t find anyone to run with. duo or squad as a newb

[night trench]

I just want farm exp with pistol

[rotund sand]

there isn't really anything to do casually in factory

[night trench]

grab 3-4 kills and etract

[stone moss]

Factory as a low gear newb is how I learned how to fight cqc

[grim night]

go customs and just go to gas station and kill all the scavs around

its good Xp

[ornate sail]

i swear rashala is always at gas station

[rotund sand]

people trying to farm Reshala would zap newbies

[grim night]

he can spawn there.

[ornate sail]

every time i go he’s there

[night trench]

😓

again 5 sec spawn

[ornate sail]

i melted him so many times haha

[night trench]

cant even look around

[grim night]

but then if you kill him and his goons thats a good solid 1000 xp

[ornate sail]

advice on boosting recoil? i mean all o have to do is mag dumps?

[stone moss]

Pretty much

[grim night]

what guns you using professional?

[bold kernel]

Not viable to actively level skills anymore

[ornate sail]

imagine recoil as on pubg or any other random unfinished pattern

not this learning bs

adar 74s

an m4

[bold kernel]

Recoil has a fixed pattern though?

[stone moss]

Def can't grind skills like you used to but you can make sure you kill a mag or two.

[grim night]

adar only has vertical recoil really.

[ornate sail]

more m4 and 74s

full auto stuff. i know gapping is the way to go but sometimes ya need that spray and pray to be on point

tapping

[grim night]

just go in offline and shoot walls without trying to control the recoil and then after just try and control it.

[bold kernel]

depends on distance and gun

If you're bad at controlling recoil you can just stack out any gun and you won't have any recoil anyway

[ornate sail]

i budget run a lot haha. always dying on some bs

anyone feel like going to woods?

trying to unlock jaeger is a pain in the buttocks

[bold kernel]

too tired to play

[ornate sail]

womp womp

you need like 8 hours of sleep. food in your belly and be healthy to play tarkov. i swear it’s exhausting haha

[stone moss]

I feel relaxed when I'm playing

[tough bluff]

Do I calculate how much a run made me by how much my overall stash value went up?

[stone moss]

Uhhhh kind of depends how you want to value your loot I guess

[grim night]

you can, or by how much profit you made after you sell everything if thats what you do.

[stone moss]

I'd go off the actual rubles I made after selling things. But that's just me.

[rotund sand]

X roubles + the one item I hold onto, I basically keep it in mind that way

[stone moss]

Generally I write off my equipment as an expense so I don't go off stash value.

That reminds me.. I need to make another 5 mil

[rotund sand]

whats the occasion

[stone moss]

Just a money goal for the wipe. Then I'll prob spend it on gear for new players.

[grim night]

the way i tell if i make profit, is dependent on how much ammo i use, Say my 120 shots costed 100k, and i used about 60 if i didnt make atleast 50+k from the raid, it wasnt profitable

[rotund sand]

100m or something?

[stone moss]

Ya

[rotund sand]

wow nice

[stone moss]

But I did it without farming cards and ledx

Lol

[grim night]

you should like sauce me 2 mill.

[rotund sand]

I think my goal is probably hitting like 6m

[onyx wraith]

no me :)

[stone moss]

Nobody that insults the adar deserve 1 ruble

[grim night]

its the truth though, The Colt M4 is better

[stone moss]

It is a work if art

[rotund sand]

based on my do not use in real raid gun trials

I think HK is the best

[stone moss]

Hk is nice. Good bullet hose

If you can't headshot reliably very decent spray gun.

10/10

[rotund sand]

though if I'm being a tad realistic about usage, I'd love to get on the level to use M1A

[onyx wraith]

HK to me is way better than M4, and also the only 5.56 gun I enjoy using

[tough bluff]

Do we know when the next wipe is?

[stone moss]

I do enjoy m1a

But for stuff like that I go to my svds

I put 3 lasers on it and just hip fire

[bold kernel]

Wipe doesn’t exist

[stone moss]

Few months from now prob

[onyx wraith]

Is v nice

[stone moss]

I approve

[rotund sand]

M1A plus my favourite scope

well, not this one

[bold kernel]

It’s meta

Minus the rk-2

[grim night]

What do i need for quests or for hideout?

[rotund sand]

what scope is this

[onyx wraith]

No need for RK-2, much rather have the extra ergo when running REAP-IR

[spark hawk]

You missed a slot

[bold kernel]

kekw

[rotund sand]

ah its REAP-IR, jesus

[onyx wraith]

With a canted PK-06

[rotund sand]

so whats the cost of this build again

[onyx wraith]

Scope alone is 200k, the rest.. probably another 200k

[grim night]

no i had a spot

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Quests

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a big part of Escape from Tarkov.
There are many quests in Escape from Tarkov. Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places.
Quests are the fastest way of gaining XP in Escape from Tarkov. Completing one will often reward you with thousands, if not tens of thousands of XP points.
On top of the experience, quests reward you with:

Trader Reputation. By gaining trader reputation you unlock new trader loyalty levels. Each time you unlock a new loyalty level you will be able to purchase a large number of new items from that trader.
Quest locked items. Some items can only be purchased from a trader after you complete their relevant quest.

I mean if you only have lvl1 stash you have that materials to upgrade to lvl2 if you got the cash @grim night

[grim night]

yeah i know, im just trying to get money but i always spend it lol

[neat nymph]

how can i level up my strength. i only have level 1 right now...

[night trench]

do devs tell ahead when they gonna do resets?

I heard theres 1 more global reset planned bfore release

[neat nymph]

rumor i heard was may sometime

[night trench]

but like do they say hey reset in a week

[grim night]

yeah they most likely will give a heads up

[night trench]

dont want to invest in some wundergun project and not be able to use because I stashed it

[stone moss]

@neat nymph walk around overweight, throw bases, and hit stuff with melee

[neat nymph]

ok

[stone moss]

@night trench they usually say close to wipe. There is also a week event before the actual wipe.

[rotund sand]

I thought we were 5 months or so away, maybe I got that wrong though

[stone moss]

I think 3 - 4 last I heard but it can change.

[ripe grotto]

how not to die

[polar cloak]

dont get shot

[stone moss]

Don't let your head and/or thorax or overall health hit 0

[ripe grotto]

how not get shot

[polar cloak]

dont go in raid

[elder crypt]

just unlocked scav case in the hideout. Any recommendations for what option to pick?

[fiery rover]

6k or 100

[elder crypt]

thanks! I thought I remembered hearing doing 6k but wanted to be sure

[rotund sand]

currently in offline snipe practice and my thoughts are "aimbot omegalul" in a nutshell

[bold kernel]

whats a good helmet to have with a gzhel?

[elder crypt]

anything because 99/100 times a helmet isn't going to save you

[lime root]

is it worth selling or keeping salewas that you craft? im thinking i should keep them for myself

[rotund sand]

not much to gain, using them in raid is less of a hassle

[stone moss]

I keep them... But that is so I can give to new people for quest and use.

[wispy coral]

how do i rotate items in my inventory lol

[stone moss]

While you have a hold of it... Hit r

[wispy coral]

ight

[rotund sand]

slight bullet drop at this distance for the weapon, I suppose

hm

[stone moss]

?

[split vapor]

Huh

Drop depends on round ms and range

[rotund sand]

trying to snipe from a scav tower towards white rook with M1A

[fast rivet]

Set your zeroing, kiddos

[split vapor]

Well yeah

Sounds like you’re near scav lands?

Shooting towards train station

[rotund sand]

yeah the closest tower to scav lands, I think

along the pipe

[split vapor]

Yeah I know where

What round do you have

[rotund sand]

these are M80s

[split vapor]

Dome should be basically far infront if you

[rotund sand]

nah, it is to my side

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/488117211739848706/644570438642434053/wdrlJkY_d.jpg

[rotund sand]

what should I understand from these numbers

is that like a radius

[blissful lagoon]

distance

[split vapor]

yeah theres no map form the tower you are in

[blissful lagoon]

Each circle is that many meters from the center

[split vapor]

but your tower is 300m away

from train

[rotund sand]

I see

[split vapor]

only downside about that valday scope is only its max 200m zero

[rotund sand]

I honestly do not have any idea what zeroing means

[stone moss]

Page up and down when aiming

[split vapor]

not that

basically tell a rifle to hit a target at a distance with the need to above the target, the zero does that for you

[gentle adder]

are there really that many places that require more than 200m?

[split vapor]

yeah

depends on the map

only a few scopes have a 450m zero

[gentle adder]

Guess I need to play other maps 😛

[split vapor]

but 300m is for basically all the scopes which is fine

you can get 800m+ on shoreline

[gentle adder]

I've seen 280 on shoreline tho

wat?!

[bold kernel]

Is it normal for half of Reshala’s gang to be on 2 story dorms and the other half on 3?

[gentle adder]

No way

[split vapor]

lighthouse to tunnel exit is about that

its in the 700-800m range

[gentle adder]

oh, have not gone up there, but damn

[split vapor]

woods you can do some 600+

[rotund sand]

https://i.imgur.com/JKYg1VM.jpg me when I'm about try zeroing

[gentle adder]

I wouldn't even try

[rotund sand]

[split vapor]

milbase you can tech do about 5-600

[lucid stratus]

looking for sherpa willing to help french newbie

[split vapor]

but theres no good spots that give such a range

ap6.3 is 9mm

AP SX is for the mp7

4.7x30 or whatever

[grim night]

yeah thats what i meant, mistype

[valid mulch]

so is the IFAK a near direct upgrade to the car?

[spiral dirge]

1 slot is bis

[grim night]

IFAK is better it can stop Bleeding

[valid mulch]

the car can do can't it?

[stone moss]

@valid mulch I guess you could say it is an upgrade. it has more durability and heals more I think but for 1 slot

[grim night]

oh yeah it does, but it takes up 2 slots.

[valid mulch]

ok so yes Ifak is better?

[stone moss]

Also Car can stop bleeding...

[grim night]

and has 220 total health points white IFAK has 300

[stone moss]

but yes ifak is better than car

and ideal in most situations

[valid mulch]

so in my alpha pack I have splint painkillers and an ifak

[stone moss]

fits in a pocket or only takes up 1 slot in your safe container

[valid mulch]

what should I use for the 4th slot?

[stone moss]

up to you

id put splint in a pocket and take a drink with me

depending on what im doing

like a fruit juice or aquamarie

[valid mulch]

why splint in pocket?

does fracture not happen alot?

[stone moss]

its cheap and easy to replace

[valid mulch]

ah

how much?

[stone moss]

like 3k rubles i think

[grim night]

what should i do with gold chain?

[valid mulch]

oh lol

[stone moss]

unless you have an alu splint

the one that is red and can hav eup to 5 uses

[somber solstice]

the fuck is up with the random scavs that are john wick and chris kyles long lost love child

[crude tusk]

Is it possible to stack water filters in the water filter system to make purified water after you have already crafted one and only have like 34% of a filter left? Or does that last third of the water filter always just get wasted?

[split vapor]

no the water always makes water

nothing is lost

once a filter is out a new filter will continue where the old left off

[crude tusk]

but when it gets to 0 it resets the timer no?

ooooh it doesn't reset, nice

[split vapor]

tbh each filter should just make 2 water

over what they have now

[crude tusk]

yeah but that's also some insane value

just constantly turning 50k into +250k profit would be pretty OP, but bitcoin farm gives a lot of value for basically nothing too

after you have gathered the gpus anyway

[tardy pond]

okay

i just died to two disconnected players?

people running and not getting hit but still being able to shoot?

and even ads

[south dune]

@prisma slate https://clips.twitch.tv/CalmBreakableMinkDatSheffy

thats nutty

[burnt jay]

Is this worth?

[south dune]

AVS is like 130k full dura

[burnt jay]

So sell it not repair?

[south dune]

I do like em so i would repair, big space and class 4 armor

but you can sell ofc

[burnt jay]

Yeah I think I will, but I'll prolly die with it

Whats a good helmet to match with the AVS?

[silent gazelle]

Class 4 armor is shit

Ulach

Or altyn

@burnt jay why do you use lvl 2 or 3 armor
