dont use the vss with a long range scope

[gentle citrus]

restarting didn't work

[silver matrix]

i like the feel of the hunter but it doesn't have a silencer sadly

[flat cipher]

...

you havent accepted the quest

LOL

click accept

[gentle citrus]

lmao

didn't see XD

[flat cipher]

yeah i did that a few times doing the rest of em

[gentle citrus]

he's still not lvl 2 tho

ohh Isee

[gentle citrus]

ty

[uncut socket]

thought u were on wiki already

[solar verge]

I’m downloading the game right now anything I should know before

[uncut socket]

dont die

:)

[gentle citrus]

lol it's so hard to find the standard aks 74u everyone has different modified of them on the flea market

[fiery rover]

dying is part of the game

[rustic turret]

Don't take into a raid your aren't willing to lose - also unequip most of the stuff your starting guy has. Scav runs are your best way to get starter gear and weapons.

[bold kernel]

can someone teach me the game?
how to play and start?

[hallow thicket]

is there somewhere where i can suggest new content

it would be awesome if they added an ar15 beowulf

another .50 cal

[rustic turret]

@bold kernel your best bet is that beginners assistance voice channel - I'm unfortunately not familiar enough with the game to get you through a safe raid (only level 8)

[fiery rover]

nothing guarantees you to get through a raid safe

dropped a lvl 50 that was probably protecting lower geared/lvld players, wiped them clean

[spark heron]

im low on money and have 0 weapons or rigs or armour. what should i do ?

[fiery rover]

scav runs

or reset your account if you are not a high lvl

[spark heron]

wouldnt i lose all my hideout progress

[flat cipher]

you will

dont reset

gotta learn how to get out of a rut

[spark heron]

yee

[flat cipher]

just scav

[spark heron]

just always dying each run

[flat cipher]

you may get lucky, spawn with a 1.2m key like i just did

[inland mesa]

is there a way to test fps except for going into a raid ?

[spark heron]

i have been just still cant survive

[flat cipher]

no @inland mesa

[inland mesa]

shiet

thanks

[cunning bane]

offline raids

@inland mesa

[blazing shoal]

I did this to the ak for me gun quest pt 2 for mechanic but it wont let me turn it in and it matches can anyone help?

[gentle citrus]

could someone help me making the third gun for the mechanic task please? I think I have everything, but I can't put it on

[inland mesa]

i am completely new i just read that optimization is meh so i dont want to loose stuff due to fps
can you eloborate ? @cunning bane

[gentle citrus]

this is what I need to make https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/File:Gunsmithpart3Modding2.png

[cunning bane]

if you click along to start a raid as a PMC you can select offline mode @inland mesa

so you play without any other players

you can turn on scavs to learn the gunplay as well

so basically you can't lose anything but you can't gain any loot either

[inland mesa]

ah okay thank you so i cant loose anything from there but cant loot ?

so its basically for practice ?

[cunning bane]

you can loot but you don't get to extract with the loot

you can learn where loot spawns and stuff

learn the maps

learn how scavs work, learn how to shoot them etc

[inland mesa]

okay if i die in there its not lost ?

[cunning bane]

and also adjust graphics settings

yeah nothing is lost

[inland mesa]

okay thanks gonna try that

so its basically a game thats not saved more or less ?

[woeful forum]

is there anyone here who finished a shooter born in heaven ?

[cunning bane]

right but also there's no other human players just AI scavs @inland mesa

[night trench]

If I kill a guy after I dead it doesnt count no?

[cunning bane]

but yes nothign is saved, i use it to test how i like scopes, and certain scopes kill my FPS so i can figure out which ones do that without having to finish a raid with a scope i hate or suck with

[night trench]

I swear I blasted a dudes face before he killed me and I think I saw him drop to the ground while I was in death animation

[inland mesa]

okay thanks a lot gonna try that now 🙂

[night trench]

but didnt give me a kill

[naive lion]

I believe it doesn't count

[cunning bane]

i believe you can get kills after you die but i've never done it

[naive lion]

I've had it happen

[cunning bane]

but people can bleed out and obviously grenades

[naive lion]

and it didn't appear in my kill feed

[cunning bane]

ah

[naive lion]

verified via shadowplay

[night trench]

well at least im glad he got porbably headwounded

or killed

dude kept me cornered inside a customs locker for like 3 mimutes straight

I was like taunting and he didnt move nor come in

just saty there with pp behind car

:(

[uncut socket]

:(

[night trench]

was pmc run for skills, but still I managed to run all the way from shipping yard to crossroads

worst of all I didnt have good loot

1 bottle of jack daniels and a shotgun from a scav

ok personal vemdetta done

went as scav, faked death for a minute got up and killed 2 guys that started sniping me across the map

[desert ruin]

I had something like 12 kills toward Operation Aquarius p. 2 now I'm back to 0. Does that happen upon PMC death?

[shrewd ginkgo]

whats a good place to start off at like which location factory etc to start to get used to the game

[spark hawk]

Is there any trick to grab glitch items? Standing in front of a Tetris and won’t loot it

[regal plover]

@shrewd ginkgo Don't do Factory as a new player. It's a demoralizing slaughterhouse. Customs has the most early game quests and lowest average level of players. It's a fairly linear map too, so not too bad for new players.

[shrewd ginkgo]

whats killing me is the fucking wait times dude

[regal plover]

That's weekend EFT for ya.

[shrewd ginkgo]

thats bull i get in for three minutes get killed hav e to wait 20 to play like why is this game 50 dollars

[frank beacon]

Because the game isnt always this bad.

And you could probably find quicker times by changing servers

[shrewd ginkgo]

really>?

how do you do that?

[frank beacon]

In the launcher

Close the game

[shrewd ginkgo]

i see

[arctic shore]

custom isn't good for begginer

everywhere you go there is fight or potential fight

[dusk token]

Is the air filter unit worth running?

[arctic shore]

but when you take shoreline you can easily loot without seeing any player easily and escape

[dusk token]

as long as you avoid resort

[mellow ingot]

That's not exactly the best way to learn the game tbh

[shrewd ginkgo]

imma try shoreline with a cheap sks and pistol cheap ammo and cheap rig and stuff all stuff that cost next to nothing and i insured it so lets give this a go instead of factory

[rotund sand]

you can try visiting the cottage area for some loot

[regal plover]

Not really any reason to bring a secondary weapon unless using a bolt action, especially if you're trying to stay cheap, but you do you.

[shrewd ginkgo]

alright thanks for the advice

[tranquil plover]

is Zhuk-6a heavy armor good?

[regal plover]

Yes.

[tranquil plover]

so i should repair it for 6k? im new and broke but i killed 3 pmcs as a scav and got away with their loot im still not lvl 5 lol

[dusk token]

it depends on durability

also armor isnt whats gonna be the main factor of living or dying

its game sense positioning and soundwhoring

you should opt to sell it and run cheaper armor like 6b3tm

[tranquil plover]

the armor is broken so it only sells for 3k

[regal plover]

Look at the price on the flea market.

[dusk token]

^

[tranquil plover]

im not lvl 5 lol

[dusk token]

hold onto it

itll be worth a lot more later

[tranquil plover]

ok will do

[dusk token]

whats its max durability at rn?

[tranquil plover]

where do u check?

[dusk token]

it should be a fraction on its durability

#/#

so like 6/56

it should be on the armor

[tranquil plover]

0/11.78(75) is all i see

[bold kernel]

went to customs and found a single dude dead with like a 600k kit anjd everyone else was frozen so I extracted

wtf

where can I report a bug, It wouldn't let me extract and now is saying connection lost

I dont wanna lose my kit :/

Did you insure?

[mortal quartz]

its not a bug

i can help you fix

[bold kernel]

I did

how do I fix

[gentle citrus]

it is a bug lol

[mortal quartz]

i assume youre on auto servers

[bold kernel]

still I found a 600k kit that I couldn't take

[gentle citrus]

prob someone is cheating using lag switch

[bold kernel]

no im not

[mortal quartz]

listen

youre on the midwest servers in the US

St louis is bugged

[bold kernel]

im on all US servers

[mortal quartz]

so

remove stlouis

chicago

and dallas

[bold kernel]

ok

[mortal quartz]

i think its just st louis

but i removed all 3

and havnt had a problewm since

[bold kernel]

thanks

[mortal quartz]

👍

if anyone is getting the 10 second disconnect loop

that is how you fix it

[bold kernel]

oh shit the loot reverted

[mortal quartz]

youre desynced from server

[bold kernel]

im happy now lol this guy has so many mags for mp7

[mortal quartz]

lol

yea u can still play in tho raids

it just disconnects people every 10 seconds

i lost acouple mil+ kits before i figured out how to fix

[dusty mantle]

This 'game' is infuriating. I'd happily gift my license key to somebody if I could

[mortal quartz]

lol

yea its not for everyone

[dusty mantle]

I just think it isn't for me. Knowing how to effectively kill somebody requires a doctorate in statistics

[mortal quartz]

not really

[bold kernel]

I could make like 500k from selling all the bullets in those mags lmao

[mortal quartz]

just buy the most expsive ammo

[dusty mantle]

Sure, because we all have 2 mil in the bank, right? 😏

[mortal quartz]

making money in tarkov is ez pz

u just need to learn a map that offers good loot

if u play as a scav on reserve you should be able to make 500k ez

and without even shooting a bullet

[dusty mantle]

Reserve always spawns me fucking miles away from the decent buildings and I get killed getting there.

[mortal quartz]

every area on reserve has loot

i know some are worse

[dusty mantle]

Then everybody's getting to it before I do

[mortal quartz]

i have over 500 pmc reserve raids

plus 200 scavs

trust me

learn the map

you can avoid people

sometime u need to hunker down and wait if u hear ww3 going on

if u hear a guy shooting a silenced m4 in queen maybe dont go there

[night trench]

smh

[dusty mantle]

I've done about 20 PMC raids and dies every single one. Lost so many things.

[bold kernel]

damn

i've been getting mad luck

lucky

[night trench]

I saw couple of guys looting in the village, I gave a few taunts and run away as to say I know youre there but im not gonna shoot,please reciprocate

[bold kernel]

found a lvl 65 with an items case and 5 mil night vision last week

[night trench]

this guys start following me shooting

[bold kernel]

today I just found a lvl 50 dead with like 1 mil gear

[dusty mantle]

Yeah good luck, everybody shoots on sight

[night trench]

so I decide to fake death behind a samdbag, this guys come at me and receive pp in the face

and third guy just says nope and starts running in other direction

this all coulve been avoided if people were less greedy as fellow scavs

t.t

[mortal quartz]

the scav handshake is a wiggle

if you wiggle

and they wiggle

[bold kernel]

@mortal quartz the thing you said fixed it for me but not my friend

[mortal quartz]

youre now friends

[bold kernel]

still won't let perf data load and even get to menu screen

[night trench]

yeah but I saw them and didnt see me

[bold kernel]

for him

[night trench]

so I threw a few f1 taunts to let em know I coulve killed them

[mortal quartz]

something is wrong with this game

can he open launcher

[bold kernel]

nvm it worked now somehow

[mortal quartz]

launcher has a dfrop down menu top right

"clear cache"

[bold kernel]

ok

[mortal quartz]

u can repair the game file too

takes awhile tod o that tho

[bold kernel]

what map is good for nvg

[mortal quartz]

any

try a night raid

[bold kernel]

customs isn't too good tho cus dorms is all lit up

I wanna use it the whole time

[mortal quartz]

what if u stay oout side of dorms

5 headed plays

[bold kernel]

yeah I guess i'll try gas station reshala shit

[mortal quartz]

or just wait for the juiced boys leaving dorms

u cans ee them

they cant see you

last reserve scav

shot 4 bullets

farming raiders can make alot of rubles

and good gear if you need some for your pmc

[oblique tulip]

I had a good run, looted up some good weapons, fully geared. Lost because i was .5secs late to an extract.

[spark hawk]

It’s life in tarkov

[pastel loom]

Anyone want to help a new player out and show me the ropes?

[rotund sand]

wtf

I actually extracted without a countdown

servers are toast atm, I guess

[high crescent]

How to unlock more offers in flea?

[weak sage]

what do you mean?

see more items on flea?

[blissful lagoon]

You have a flea market reputation that goes up the more you sell stuff

It goes up according to the value of the stuff u sell

If u remove an offer or one fails to sell, it goes down

at certain reputation thresholds, u gain more offer slots

[broken haven]

what is the threshold though

[high crescent]

Oh okay cool

Do u kno the first one?

[blissful lagoon]

[high crescent]

Ok ty

[craggy finch]

what would you suggest to get from flea market before next patch?

im lvl6 noob

[spark hawk]

Grind for 15

[craggy finch]

no shit sherlock 😁

[split vapor]

just do like 3 quests and your lvl15

[craggy finch]

like 3 quests? I rly doubt it

[split vapor]

like

handful of quests and like 4 hours you can be that level

[dusty mantle]

Does the power go out on the bunker door all by itself? Or does it mean somebody switched it off..

[craggy finch]

someone forgot to pay electricity bill

jk

[dusty mantle]

Spawned with knife, made it through white pawn, black pawn, ended up with a Mosin and an AK-47, plus lotsa loot. Got to bunker door.. power off. Sigh

Went to switch it back on.

Made it back to bunker door. Power off.

Fuck. My. Life.

Meanwhile I'd been shot up bad and was bleeding out. My best hope was to med up until hopefully the power light went green.

So if somebody turned it off: cruel fucks

[south dune]

people cant switch it off

as far as im aware

you just ran out of time

[craggy finch]

spawned with knife? that works too? I've heard scavs go nuts if you dont have a bit of gear

[dusty mantle]

Oh, so after switching on you only have a set amount of time to make it back?

and that's my only option for getting out with a pack. Well that sucks

[surreal crown]

What is the easiest way to get the bronze pocket watch. 3hours and 300k with of gear still can't get it

[tender quartz]

do anybody help people out im level 3 and im really trying to get good at eft

[rotund sand]

just got it myself after so much putting off, unbelievable experience

[spark hawk]

Should I keep GP coins or sell?

[split vapor]

I sell them

ez 30 or so to Ther

the barters with them arent so good

[spark hawk]

Awesome thanks. Also what’s ibuprofen do? Is it like a weak painkiller?

[rotund sand]

better

lasts like 500 seconds

[split vapor]

2nd best time lasting painkiller

1st best in numbers of uses

[ripe grotto]

how get better aim

[gentle citrus]

[rotund sand]

a bit unlucky that most likely due to this quest that armor is not that cheap

[blissful lagoon]

@stoic swan have u restarted ur game

[rotund sand]

sounds bugged

[woeful mesa]

Hey guys, I am completely 100% new to the game, I haven't done my proper research on it and the game doesn't provide enough guidance for me to know what to do. I am watching YT videos and I have a lot of time played on games like RUST and others. I was just wondering if someone wants to quickly hop on one of the channels to give me some pointers. Mention or message me if yes 🙂

[blissful lagoon]

U can hop into [5] Juliet if u want @woeful mesa

@stoic swan And u handed over Dorm room 220 already?

Yes

Have you not done that yet

[split vapor]

@stoic swan You need to pick up the document case and live and extract and hand it over

[rotund sand]

"BUG: Remove the key from any containers before handing it over as your container as well as all of its contents may be handed in as well." says wiki

[split vapor]

did you die when you had the doc case on you

[rotund sand]

I hope the bug did not strike your sicc case

[split vapor]

just tarkov bugs I guess

alright dope

[rotund sand]

now that I "finally" did pocket watch, the bane of my existence next

kill 15 scavs in woods

think I played this map like 5 times in 2 years and killed 1 scav total

[flat cipher]

just tag yourself

take a gun in in your bag

and your rig

scavs come flying

[rotund sand]

oh right, maybe I can use that gimmick

[ocean python]

looking for other new players to play with add me name in game is Deliverence. also a sherpa who is good on all maps after interchange would be good

[reef meteor]

where da sherpas at

[stone moss]

Maybe they are busy

That being said, I am willing to assist any new players with coaching/questing.

Just shoot me a DM

[plucky edge]

someone wanna raid with me who is decent at the game?

im new to the game but not fps games

[twin orbit]

Do any traders buy ammo?

[plucky edge]

yeah

[twin orbit]

Which ones? lol I swear I just went through them all

[weak sage]

mechanic for sure

[twin orbit]

ok thanks

i'll check him

[slim fern]

prapor and mechanic buys ammo, but mechanic pays better

[twin orbit]

@slim fern Thank you

[elfin nacelle]

where is the "hidden water" in dorms

what room exactly

[snow hedge]

who wants to buy my single slot dvl stock only one red keycard

[slim fern]

The forbidden third dimension, just fold the stock into slot

[snow hedge]

it actually makes the gun smaller

[quick dune]

what the fuck

[slim fern]

Dont speak like that to him and his son

[stone moss]

lol

[topaz nest]

So I just extracted from woods with a weapon and stuff in my inventory. Back now on the stash screen and none of its here

any help?

Also noticing.. I hit level 2 but my charecter says level 1

[foggy arch]

Did you play in offline mode?

[sacred acorn]

are raid backpacks glitched for anyone else ( on the flea market )?

i cant buy any of them..

just me>?

[rotund sand]

tfw you fire at a 2 man squad with your aimbot tier aim and M700

and realize they are PMCs 1 second after

[stone moss]

jin are you killing the poor PMCs again?

[rotund sand]

I just tried my shot at scav kills at Woods

fired thinking they were scavs and immediately realized my mistake, so I ran back

but a scav spotted me and started blasting me, so I went prone and healed

[stone moss]

lmao jin

[rotund sand]

so this guy whom I first fired at

actually runs like 10m away me and crouches, fighting another guy at distance

so I tried to kill him, but failed

so he just ran to me and blasted me with his auto weapon

I probably missed his head, though maybe it wouldn't be enough, it was M80 ammo

was a mistake trying to kill him after he went prone

[stone moss]

rip

[versed oasis]

never doubting the kedr again

[bold kernel]

how do i upgrade my stash? lol

[versed oasis]

go to hideout

and work on leveling your stash

[versed oasis]

Edge of Darkness edition

[bold kernel]

[versed oasis]

uh if you own standard it's like $100

[bold kernel]

[willow knoll]

I need help

[bold kernel]

lmao ion even have 10% of that xD

[willow knoll]

With getting more stash places

[versed oasis]

[willow knoll]

And cases

[versed oasis]

well, you can do quests or rush marked rooms if you get the spawn

[raven reef]

How do i upgrade my stash size?

[willow knoll]

Like I can never get to the money where I can buy 1

[chilly mauve]

hey hey.. soo.. i started playing this game today.. is there anyone who wouldn'

[versed oasis]

i got 3 ammo cases from doing mechanic quests

[chilly mauve]

wouldn't mind running with me to show me the ropes and stuff

[bold kernel]

i got the game yesterday if u wanna learn together

xD

[chilly mauve]

i'm down 😄

[willow knoll]

Would some 1 buy my gun so I can buy a weapons case

[bold kernel]

what servers u from?

[chilly mauve]

NA

[bold kernel]

oh god

rip

lol

[raven reef]

@chilly mauve i suggest you read this, i started playing ysterday and this helped me alot https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/etxsgn/2020_beginners_guide_to_eft_new_to_tarkov_start/

[versed oasis]

all of this came from 3 raiders on reserve

if you can kill them and get out they're good loot

that was a scav run

[bold kernel]

should i j sell this stuff?

lol

[rotund sand]

if you get them from scav runs, you can just run them back with your PMC for a cheap loadout

kind of up to you

[bold kernel]

i j dunno

cuz i got like the mosin and the shotgun from a pmc raid

but the aks n shi i got from scav

[rotund sand]

TOZes are used for a quest at level 5, though you could still buy them from Skier, but I guess might as well keep those

for now I wouldn't sell stuff and just run, I guess, since you don't have access to market

but if you don't want to use a gun and want to sell it, you can right click -> disassemble

then sell whatever part he accepts to Skier, then whatever part he accepts to Mechanic

this gives the most vendor money back

[flint cedar]

[humble pulsar]

can someone assist me me with woods quest like unlocking jaeger and shootout picnic?

[snow spear]

Im pretty aware of what i need to do in the game, im lvl 17, but im really broke, i have 900k and 120hrs, i need help making money

[stone moss]

900k isnt too bad tbh

most people i see are below 1 mil

[frigid heart]

Is there a place where I can find generator fuel?

[bold kernel]

i got a military base key, is that good?

RB-TB no clue what that for lol

[tight pond]

i'm sitting at about 5m, with 2 weapons cases at level 17.
Is running labs an option I should consider? I was told it's really good money and a good way to level up cause you can throw a ton of grenades I guess for strength?
I've got 2 weapons case full of modded m4/hks but don't know if I should just keep them safe or continue running interchange, factory, and reserve.

there doesn't seem to be a good way to judge if running labs is the right time 😦

[gloomy rose]

isnt labs full of hackers ? also they are full of geared experienced people who run them xd

there are*

[tight pond]

geared players isn't my issues, just wondering if 5m and roughly 10 fully modded weapons will give me enough time to learn labs and be able to profit off of it.
this games doesn't seem to hard to kill a geared player as it's 1 tap to the head nearly every time, so obtaining loot doesn't seem difficult.
what is hard is memorizing all the cheeky spots players like to camp in for 25 minutes

can't kill someone if i'm dead before I know it :p

[bold kernel]

Its filled with hackers

grabbing loot across the map

and aimbotting

[gloomy rose]

well money shouldnt be an issue since you can just pistolero your way into 200-1mil runs reserve

xd

once you learn the loot spawns its just a goldmine

[uncut socket]

Battleye, anticheat gold standard

[frank beacon]

Why go in with fully modded guns to learn a map??

Take in a base m1a or hunter

[split vapor]

m1a just better in general

larger mags

stats are just better

[frank beacon]

Yea

[stoic tinsel]

m1a is op

[prisma slate]

I gota learn to farm raiders that is some fat loot up there

[stoic tinsel]

Go main elevator and farm raiders with m1a in total around 275k including keycard and you one shot raiders and pmc's pretty good

if i dont get contested i farm 1.5m-2m easily

[prisma slate]

on labs?

[craggy finch]

found factory key, worth 150k+

sell it or keep?

I guess I can open some cool place

[frank beacon]

Keep it.

If u want quick pvp and gear sets it comes in handy on factory

[craggy finch]

quick pvp = quick death for me xD

I suggest watching a few introductory videos to Tarkov, Pestily/Veritas/Klean are all great resources

Also, the "Year of the Rat" video from GeneralSam is actually good

check this out as well, I used it to learn the game a bit a few weeks ago, still reference it daily

[jolly agate]

i have like 2000 hours or some shit

[ancient falcon]

or stand still?

especially spraying

[open flower]

do people camp railway exfil less than emercom

im getting seriously tired of getting exit camped

trying to scav out with a motor or two and some pmc with eod feels the need to shoot me with a silencer

[flat cipher]

!sherpa

Nice thanks bot

[flat ocean]

[flat cipher]

[flat ocean]

[flat cipher]

They only aggro if you deal damage to em

[flat ocean]

yeah, somebody else had to be in here; all looted

[ancient falcon]

[sour plume]

hey thanks bot

[ancient falcon]

why is my gun tilted to the left when I don't have a sight?

wtf

should still be straight? is this intentional?

[flat cipher]

Drop it

And pick it up again, should fix

[bold kernel]

does anyone know the key that opens the middle part that is near gas station and goes into the factory area? (customs)

[bold badger]

Factory exit key, I think

[bold kernel]

oh wow its 150k

welp looks like i aint getting that lol

[fast rivet]

good to see the first shot stutter bug still exists

[mellow ingot]

@bold kernel

search all jackets they are pretty easy to find

and scav pockets/bags

[fast rivet]

^^^

[flat cipher]

@fast rivet ya that got me killed earlier

[woeful mesa]

How do I know where extraction points are? and are they different when you're Scav and when you're PMC?

[flat cipher]

If you check the wiki it'll tell you which ones are scav, which ones are pmc, which ones are both

And a map

[woeful mesa]

Ah so there's no ingame map, thanks fam

[flat cipher]

There is but they're shit lol

[woeful mesa]

Yeah, i'm loving the game but i'm spending more time on wiki and watching videos than actually playing it. There's so little ingame guidance and so much to learn.

[flat cipher]

Once you get going it's great

Lot to take in though

[woeful mesa]

Indeed, other issue is that none of my friends play it, but that's what this discord is for 😄

[stone surge]

most of the stuff is learnt through playing and map knowledge

just spam scav

[flat cipher]

Yeah none of my irl friends play it

[fast rivet]

no hand holding is one of the perks of this game

[fiery rover]

It is cool if you start with a wie but midwipe it might be very frustrating

[haughty ledge]

can anyone help me with the introduction quest to unlock Jaeger? I get lost in woods every single time. I have a red rebel and paracord for easy extract if it helps

[sonic reef]

@haughty ledge you just want to look for the plane crash site and it should be in that area

[haughty ledge]

Well yeah, but, I keep dying because I get lost. The map is confusing to me.

[sonic reef]

yeah it can be confusing because everywhere looks the same, but do your best to find a landmark and then use a woods map to see where you are

[young drum]

at what map have you completed punisher pt. 5? i mean killing part

[fiery rover]

?

Customs

But all map works to Farm it i would try factory

@haughty ledge try to locate the Spot for the jaeger Letter then just hug a wall and go in the direction of your exit

[sweet ravine]

so if you have a keytool in your secure container, can you use keys from there, or do you need to take it out first?

[keen zealot]

you can use the keys from there

[sweet ravine]

Nice. And it doesn't automatically move your keytool out of the secure one, or? 😛

[keen zealot]

nah

leaves it in there

you just need to have the key

[stark drum]

[fallen hollow]

[ancient falcon]

[rustic obsidian]

Hey guys, in a lucky scav box. Can I put bags armor and weapons or is it only barter shit?

[fickle kettle]

bater shet

[lilac vortex]

[mint hawk]

i think its level 1? so no. mostly just obscures your hearing

[haughty ledge]

Yeah I got it done, sorry for not updating thanks for the help guys

[rotund sand]

[flat ocean]

is insurance paid when I leave for quest, not when I click insure?

[wintry jetty]

[ancient falcon]

but who wants to play at that time

[wintry jetty]

yeah

i have no friends that play it so i gotta go it solo

so i usually do a few raids get fucked on 3/4 times and go well im going to bed

[ancient falcon]

my very budget loadout is kedr or kedr B if you want silenced with sp7 ammo

less than 20k

and it shreds, just gotta aim for the head

[rotund sand]

when you loot M4A1 in offline

[ancient falcon]

and its mostly for close range

[wintry jetty]

yeah im good with the guns just don't have someone to watch my back or map knowledge

[gilded grotto]

i need help

pls

[spiral cosmos]

what container holds helmets, ears, etc?

[gilded grotto]

can someone help me idk what to do ingame

[wintry jetty]

ICase

[spiral cosmos]

damn, i was hoping it wasnt that, I don't have enough money for that

[spiral cosmos]

Ik what it is, but I don't have 2 mil to spend lol

[wintry jetty]

yeah i hit enter already lol

[spiral cosmos]

fair enoufh lol

enough*

[wintry jetty]

but yeah that holds weapons armour etc

mags

[rotund sand]

I should probably get a weapon case so that I can stock my ushanka inside ICase

would be next level idiocy

[ancient falcon]

m61, m62 or m80 for vepr hunter?

[spiral cosmos]

I'm sitting here with a metric fuckton of Helmets, ears, tac rigs, and armor lol

[wintry jetty]

lol

[spiral cosmos]

M80, its cheep and does a lot of damage

[rotund sand]

why can't you buy an ICase, then

sell some of the metric fuckton stuff and invest in the case xD

[spiral cosmos]

If i were to sell said metric fuckton, i wouldn't even be near 2 mil

[rotund sand]

ah

[spiral cosmos]

yea

[rotund sand]

well, on the bright side, you have stuff to finance future loadouts already

maybe one of the metric fuckton items will net something even better

[spiral cosmos]

I mean, I did just take a look at a set of armor i had, I thought it was the cheep white one but it sold for like 100k

[rotund sand]

what was it

[spiral cosmos]

gzhel-k

[rotund sand]

oh, nice

I swear anytime I enable offline pve, it feels like there is 3x more scavs around

I guess its because no one else is killing them

[spiral cosmos]

lmao

[rotund sand]

I was just trying to practice woods sniping for scav kill quest

couldn't move from the spawn

[waxen apex]

which rserve keys to buy first?

[rotund sand]

my noob self is eyeing up the garage keys from what I saw in streams and such, but maybe other stuff is better

[gentle citrus]

therapist task "find the hidden water in the dorm" what do I do?

[rotund sand]

you go to room 303, I think

[gentle citrus]

I need a key?

or not

[rotund sand]

nvm, it was 206, my bad

[gentle citrus]

ok ty, do I need a key to get in there?

[rotund sand]

yeah it needs a key

[gentle citrus]

fk

just matched as a scav

[rotund sand]

you can't do that quest as a scav, anyway

[gentle citrus]

oh lol

[rotund sand]

well might as well check out where the room is with your scav

[gentle citrus]

I will try as pmc

hope I don't die lol

bringing gear worth 1 mil in

[fiery rover]

Key is cheap

Its the 2story Dorm in the second floor

[rotund sand]

1m wew

[gentle citrus]

ok ty

[fiery rover]

What gear is worth 1m?

[gentle citrus]

my m4 is around 500k

[fiery rover]

Post a pic i am curious

[gentle citrus]

and then backpack, helmet, vest

queing for match now

will send

[fiery rover]

I lost 8 or 9 m4s in the last week

[frigid fog]

Thermals are a lot, armor 130-400k, helmet 120-250k

[gentle citrus]

^^

not using thermal tho

using 100 ergo m4 XD

[fiery rover]

What

Why

[rotund sand]

jesus

I need to do that quest too

I think so, at least

would never take such a thing with me though

[fiery rover]

I prefer recoil

[tardy pond]

Sane

[rotund sand]

100 ergo is probably not even noticeable

[tardy pond]

Same

[ancient falcon]

do hackers often have numbers as their name?

[rotund sand]

I tested a 70 ergo weapon I built

[tardy pond]

No need to have ergo when hipfire is hella accurate

[rotund sand]

it was instant-ADS anyway

[ancient falcon]

I shot this guy so many times with m61 and m80 ammo and he didn;t even die

to the chest and head

[fiery rover]

Did you Hit?

Sounds dumb but what did the screen for dmg say

[crude copper]

Anyone tips for extracting in Customs? I've got like 3 quests to do in Customs, but I can't seem to extract because of all the chokes....

[fiery rover]

There is only 1 Choke

And its Not even a Real

[crude copper]

Oh right. Just feels like to get to one extract, I kinda only have 1 or 2 choices

[frank beacon]

I mean it depends on extract ur trying to take

[crude copper]

It's always the opposite side of the map :/

[fast rivet]

So is every other map

[crude copper]

Guess I just need to play more, but would appreciate any tips that has helped anyone

[gentle citrus]

COULDN'T FIND IT UGH

[rotund sand]

except Reserve

[gentle citrus]

extracted cuz way to many scavs

[ancient falcon]

@fiery rover damn forgot to check that.

[rotund sand]

its the 2-story dorm

[gentle citrus]

is it inside the factory or outside?

[rotund sand]

wait I thought you were doing operation aquarius, nvm

[gentle citrus]

yes

that should be in factory

[ancient falcon]

is there a way to check your last games stats?

[gentle citrus]

that's what therapist says

[rotund sand]

that quest is in dorms

[ancient falcon]

we can't check previous sessions stats?

[gentle citrus]

wdym dorms

[rotund sand]

nope

[gentle citrus]

therapist says it's located outside factory

[rotund sand]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Operation_Aquarius_-_Part_1

[gentle citrus]

she says it's in factory

therapist

da hell it's in customs

[rotund sand]

dorm area next to the factory

[gentle citrus]

ye see

[rotund sand]

don't trust in game texts

[gentle citrus]

"factory"

where is it in customs is it the yellow building?

[rotund sand]

the dorms are two buildings next to each other

[bold kernel]

Are there more quests after Peacekeeping Mission that ask to kill with m4a1?

[rotund sand]

one 2-story and one 3-story

[gentle citrus]

ye the 2 yellow ones?

[rotund sand]

yeah those

you need to visit the 2-story one for this quest

[gentle citrus]

and then the smaller one it is right

ye

[rotund sand]

yep

[gentle citrus]

ok thx

[rotund sand]

you are welcome

thats most crowded area on the map, though, so good luck

[gentle citrus]

will be fine carrying 1 mil shit again XD

gonna be very carefull tho

[rotund sand]

scav boss might be there too

[gentle citrus]

he's most likely in the big yellow one tho

met him there twice

[rotund sand]

ah right, guess you don't need to go to 3-story anyways

[gentle citrus]

I will go there just for market room tho XD

unless the boss is there

I am just gonna rush in and rush out car exit

[rotund sand]

ah you have the marked room key? nice then

[gentle citrus]

ye it's cheap as hell

[runic wren]

where does body armor spawn? I've never found it while looting

[rotund sand]

true, for what it offers, it is cheap

[gentle citrus]

^^

thought it was like only 25k

[fiery rover]

On pmcs

[runic wren]

is that it?

[fiery rover]

Body armor spawns in scavs

Or scav bosses

Some lay around but notbmany

And ragman is your Best friend

[runic wren]

I need the Module-3M body armor for skier quest

[gentle citrus]

I just always buy killa armor when I need new, no big deal

[fiery rover]

Scav only

Or flea Market if you have access

[gentle citrus]

ye

[rotund sand]

around 30k~ for one

[twilit patio]

Hey everyone, is there a way to stop the game from taking money from my Secure container when i insure?

[fiery rover]

No

[gentle citrus]

it's the flea market fee

[runic wren]

I do but I don't want to spend more money than I get

[twilit patio]

@fiery rover oh well, that scks a bit, tnx for the info

[fiery rover]

Only Option is to insure before you put money in your securebcontainer

[rotund sand]

I have found 1 module-3m so far and spawned with none (total amount of raids pmc+scav: 200~)

[runic wren]

oof

[rotund sand]

so not the easiest catch p:

[runic wren]

well I can't afford to buy 4 of them rn

[twilit patio]

@fiery rover i guess, i ll just put a bit more in there and try to remember it, sometimes i forget and i end up with no extraction moneys

[rotund sand]

I guess you could try getting the money for it and then buy them

I think thats way easier than looking for them

[runic wren]

starting a scav run now to get some monies

[gentle citrus]

oof car was used

was shit in market room

but atleast I did the task

[rotund sand]

nice

you need to extract once, I think

but iirc, don't have to in the same run

[wraith cypress]

What is the best way to make money as a new player?

[rotund sand]

reserve/interchange PMC loot runs or scav runs

[wraith cypress]

Where are the best loot spots in reserve?

[rotund sand]

look up Pestily's videos on Youtube, he explains in detail

[lime glen]

gonna run some shoreline customs factory and possibly interchange/willing to help newer people/ 18+ years old for invite/dm me/🧐

[craggy finch]

with the right attachements is it possible to drastically reduce AK rifles recoil?

couple times I've tried them on auto, but recoil is just tragic lol

[fickle kayak]

you should be able to get in the high 40s with the ak74 M/N

[craggy finch]

any good auto rifle? noob friendly

[fickle kayak]

ak74 M/N as well

[spark hawk]

Fal

[fickle kayak]

I like the FAL but its not as easy to use as the AK of you are newer - louder, more expensive to kit decently, and more recoil. I do 100% use the FAL more than the AK though myself

[spark hawk]

As Val is also a good one

Only 20 and 30 round mags tho

[timber jolt]

So why can't I buy anything from traders?

I don't understand what this means, how do you restock?

[rotund sand]

you don't, traders do with reset

[timber jolt]

Oh damn so I can't buy any of this shit until reset?

[naive lion]

you don't have fill items

ticked

[timber jolt]

Awwwwww shit

thanks man

Don't even remmeber unchecking it

[naive lion]

👍

it bugs out sometimes

I think

[timber jolt]

Gotcha, thanks dude

[naive lion]

yw

[rotund sand]

lel I didn't even look at the screenshot, autoparroted a reply, sorry p:

[timber jolt]

all good

So poor

[naive lion]

[timber jolt]

[wraith cypress]

@rotund sand Ty for the tip to go to reserve, I just did a quick scav run trough it following pestilys guide and omg there are so many loot spots

[rotund sand]

yeah even if you don't loot the best spots

still a lot to pick up

some decent ammo lay around too, from what I can tell

[naive lion]

is there any reason to play a map other than reserve

[rotund sand]

quests

[naive lion]

other than quests

[rotund sand]

err

wishing to play sniper?

[naive lion]

hm

[rotund sand]

I mean you can snipe in reserve, too, I guess

[naive lion]

I feel like reserve has some okay spots for snipers

if you do play sniper though I hate you

[rotund sand]

I'm trying to learn how to snipe p:

[wraith cypress]

@rotund sand I literally spawned in as a scav 20 mins late and still made over 100k

[rotund sand]

yeah, leftovers are pretty good

jackets can have expensive keys

might find a lucky paracord

[naive lion]

and the underground part has some nice loot

[rotund sand]

yeah I like that part too

[gentle citrus]

going woods nightime now, wish me luck XD

[naive lion]

rip

[rotund sand]

jesus

I'm scared to go there daytime

[naive lion]

do you hate yourself by any chance

[rotund sand]

what a chad

need to do the 15 scav kill quest from prapor there now

[gentle citrus]

wdym for so far I made it 3/3 times XD

[rotund sand]

what are you trying to do in woods

[naive lion]

I assume the quests

[gentle citrus]

kill

no quests

[naive lion]

oh

[rotund sand]

with thermals? nightvision?

[gentle citrus]

both

[wraith cypress]

Made close to 100k in attachments and 100k in electronics

[gentle citrus]

I mainly use thermal

[spark hawk]

Woods at night was my jam when I first started playing then realized it wasn’t a great map for money runs 😂

[rotund sand]

@wraith cypress nice. scav extracts are kinda easy too

[gentle citrus]

it is a great map for money runs actually

if you kill players

[rotund sand]

thats not what a money run is, Kito xD

[gentle citrus]

what then

[rotund sand]

thats a pvp run

[gentle citrus]

for money

so money run

XD

[rotund sand]

you invest way too much though

soon as you slap a thermal on your gun

money run is for people like me who can't aim for shit

[spark hawk]

Everybody plays different. My money runs are being a rat and just looking for high value loot

[gentle citrus]

lol

what level are you?

[rotund sand]

me? 13 at the moment

[gentle citrus]

nvm match is staring

cya

[spark hawk]

I’d prefer not to say (cough 9 cough)

[rotund sand]

my money run is being a rat and never looking for high value loot

I go for rats' leftovers

[spark hawk]

Yea I don’t usually find high value items either. I’m usually leaven with a bag full of tplugs

[rotund sand]

remember that shitty AK mag you found in a crate and scoffed at?

thats what I pick up

[naive lion]

thats kinda sad lmao

[rotund sand]

beggars can't be choosers

of course if I get lucky and find a valuable leftover, all is better

[spark hawk]

I’m also like 90% sure interchange doesn’t spawn GPUs! Haven’t found a single one. But I have found at least 5 glitch tetriz that you can’t pick up

[rotund sand]

found a flash drive on an already searched PC case the day before

[naive lion]

unlucky jim

[rotund sand]

meh I want to try that factory quest with toolset

but being a standard edition user fucks me over kinda

[naive lion]

can't you just put the toolset in your alpha?

or do you need more than 1

[rotund sand]

yeah thats what I'm thinking

but if I do, no factory key

[spark hawk]

Nothing hurts more then finding good stuff and your character just makes the looting motion but the item just stays on the shelf

[naive lion]

I've honestly never had that happen to me

[rotund sand]

maybe I should hatchet run for this

[naive lion]

you could

[gentle citrus]

WTF

[naive lion]

but tbh a makarov is like 10k with the ammo and bullets

[gentle citrus]

got killed by a cheater

OMFG

[spark hawk]

Welcome to tarkov?

[naive lion]

just report him

[gentle citrus]

I was carrying 1,5 mil outfit and now I only have 200k left omfg

how do I report

fuck dude

[naive lion]

tbh no idea lmfao

make a forum post

most likely

[gentle citrus]

fucking game

[rotund sand]

what ammo did you use in a Makarov

PMM?

[naive lion]

if you've got the money for it yeah

[spark hawk]

I’m sure BSG will see the report and be like hmmm how we stop cheaters? I got it we will increase flea to lvl25 make them cheaters really have to cheese for flea to make money

[rotund sand]

uh, I'd rather go cheaper for a Makarov

[naive lion]

I like having at least a pistol

it gives you a false sense of security

[rotund sand]

true

[naive lion]

and besides would suck to die to a scav

[rotund sand]

I mean, tbh

I'd die to a scav

with a Makarov on me

lol

[naive lion]

oof

click on their heads

[rotund sand]

https://i.imgur.com/Y1OAUvh.jpg walking tank factory edition ready to go

[naive lion]

wew a bandage as well?

look at this rich PMC

[rotund sand]

I mean thats all I can do p:

I definitely do not want to do this quest with anything acceptable as gear

if I had the skill to wipe the raid
