I should stop insuring guns

I have too many

[rotund sand]

I insured my Makarov

hoping to get it back

only have 3-4 usable weapons

[naive lion]

if I could give you weapons I would tbh

[rotund sand]

I do have some unusable weapons

anytime a drop event happens, I add more to that list xD

wouldn't say no to VPO-136 handouts though

basically I sell whatever I get as a drop and build guns that I'm not worthy of using or get a container of some sort

[naive lion]

I have 20 pistols, 4 mosins, 13 shotguns 8 assault rifles and 2 marksman rifles

...

[rotund sand]

I have 2 Hunters and a 1 VPO-136 ready, and a M700 for my Woods quest attempt

8 min queue, jesus

[naive lion]

if you want the vpo

you could make a barter for a bandage or something

and I could accept it

you'd pay 2.5k in fees though

[rotund sand]

ah, thanks, but I'm not broke enough to accept the kindness xD

[naive lion]

not yet

[rotund sand]

rofl, true, true

just need to play Woods a bit and I'll be

[naive lion]

trying to do quests while poor is a risky move

[rotund sand]

you are right

I mean I just did pocket watch last night, not like I'm a quest master lel

[naive lion]

well if you ever need the vepr.. it'll probably be in my inventory lmao

just hoarder things

[rotund sand]

https://i.imgur.com/liJUMFe.jpg tail end of my stash at the moment, not much space left

[naive lion]

with 3.5 mill you're not poor nvm

saving for stash upgrade?

[rotund sand]

if I played the game more, I'd be p:

nah I think if I ever save up enough

I'll buy red rebel

its a super slow process though

[naive lion]

yep

I bought my red rebel at 3 mil

its insane how the price went up

[rotund sand]

now its double almost

[naive lion]

yeah

[rotund sand]

maybe people just realized reserve was free with a red rebel xD

[naive lion]

free until you run into exit campers

[rotund sand]

rip

[naive lion]

it has a lot of spots for exit campers

but thank god people don't do it

[rotund sand]

its just too stressful with the bunker door

[naive lion]

as often

yeah

[rotund sand]

AgentIce took me around for some runs, so I bought the MK3 instead of backpack, just for manhole

[lucid pendant]

Am new to Tarkov, someone wanna group up? From Europe

[naive lion]

try #pvp-lfg

I remember the struggle with manhole lmao

if you've got an extra 3 thousand or so blackrock is pretty good for reserve too

the 2x2 slot really helps

if you find a motor or fuel can

[rotund sand]

oh

[naive lion]

same amount of space though

[rotund sand]

actually a good idea, since they are close in price

might consider running that instead

would be nice to grab a fuel

[naive lion]

fuel cans are 70k and motors are 50k

and you find them pretty frequently on reserve

nevermind motor dropped to 40k

why can you even put empty fuel cans for sale

[broken laurel]

wasn't fuel can 80 k ?

[gentle citrus]

ughhh matching is taking so long rn

it's freaking customs day time wth

[broken laurel]

15 mins avg for customs

[gentle citrus]

wtf no lol

[broken laurel]

for me its 15

[gentle citrus]

most likely 2-5 min

15 wtf XD

[broken laurel]

have no clue... maybe cuz am new or something ?

[gentle citrus]

did you select 1 server only?

on the launcher

[broken laurel]

didn't touch anything there lol, started playing few days ago still learning and need help xD

[gentle citrus]

I would kill myself

15 min

do you play customs or different map because of that? XD

omg my match already been 7 minutes now this is insane

[thick harness]

Servers always get hit hard on the weekend

it gets better every week

but its still not perfect

[gentle citrus]

finally

8 minutes

[thick harness]

at least they are up

[broken laurel]

i play factory most cuz I am learning shooting mechanics

its 2 min max there

[scarlet elbow]

morning guys

[broken laurel]

but customs 15 ffs, i need to do it cuz of quests

[naive lion]

I never have queue issues when duoing

It only happens when solo

Which is weird

[scarlet elbow]

was just gifted the game, but trying to understand the groups. Joined one but ended up ingame by myself

[thick harness]

Dont accept invites from random people

they will tk you and take your gear

use #pvp-lfg

[scarlet elbow]

i was prepped for that, just a scav run to try it out

but do we not drop together?

[thick harness]

Scav sometimes you wont spawn on the exact same spot

[naive lion]

Did you take too long to load into the game?

[thick harness]

also rarely you can get left behind

where your teammates load in and you sit on matching

[scarlet elbow]

ah

[thick harness]

its happened to me a couple times

[scarlet elbow]

so still alittle buggy in that aspect

[naive lion]

Its recommended to put tarkov on your ssd

[scarlet elbow]

it is

[naive lion]

If you have one

[solemn pike]

https://tarkov-market.com/ this is an absolute lifesaver and it's amazing to see the price rise in the red railroad icepick. After the twitch drops it went down to 1.2m and now it's over 5m again.

[thick harness]

put any game on SSD if you can lol

[scarlet elbow]

yes lol anything i try to play seriously goes on the SSD

definitely feel like i got into this game late though

[thick harness]

Its fairly late into this wipe, next one will be soonish, no specific date

use it as a chance to learn

[scarlet elbow]

ah so they are wiping, leveling doesnt mean much currently

[rotund sand]

I wonder why people recommend to never group with randoms because they will tk you

what if the said guy was looking forward to tk his teammates for gear himself

400 IQ

[scarlet elbow]

uh..

[thick harness]

you both load in with a pistol and no gear then

because they arent taking gear in with them

[naive lion]

I don't trust randoms

[thick harness]

they bring a pistol with AP

and mag dump you

and if they die they lose 20k

[rotund sand]

ah this is PMC? I'd never try that on PMC lol

[naive lion]

Advanced rats

[thick harness]

Why tk on a scav spawn?

that feels like a waste of time

[scarlet elbow]

is the extract still bugged?

[thick harness]

you gonna get a duffle bag and a kedr?

[rotund sand]

its about sending a message: fuck you, unfriendly player scav

[thick harness]

RIP the poor level 2 that tries to find someone to play with

[rotund sand]

my slow ratting style dies to player scavs way too often

[scarlet elbow]

this guy

XD

[rotund sand]

its all joking

I'd never tk

because I can't

[scarlet elbow]

nah im the poor level 2

XD

i was lucky enough to win the $140 game edition so i have some crap to keep me afloat for a little bit

pretty sure id be empty right now otherwize

[rotund sand]

if you have gamma, you'll get cash in no time

[scarlet elbow]

i do have some gamma case, not sure what it does

did price it in trading its worth a good deal

[rotund sand]

gamma is your secure container

in the pouch slot

[scarlet elbow]

yeah, i know i have one, just dont know what its used for and why its so expensice'

thought it had to do with radiation XD

[rotund sand]

anything you put in the secure container, you will keep even if you die

[scarlet elbow]

oh really?

[rotund sand]

yeah

[naive lion]

You can put most items into it

With the exception of weapons and equipment

[rotund sand]

keeping meds in gamma as a beginner is helpful

[scarlet elbow]

so if i die i keep the stuff and lose the container?

[rotund sand]

well, I "guess", I have an alpha

[scarlet elbow]

or keep both

[naive lion]

Keep both

[rotund sand]

no, container is never lost

neither the items inside

[scarlet elbow]

well thats some good news

[naive lion]

PS standard edition comes with a 2x2 one

[scarlet elbow]

it just stays with me? or do i have to wait, im still waiting on a bunch of insured stuff

[rotund sand]

it does stay

[naive lion]

so you having a gamma container really helps with getting money

[scarlet elbow]

got an MIA due to a bugged extract so no one grabbed the stuff but i havent got it back yet

[rotund sand]

look up eft-loot.com and get a rough idea about item values and what you want to put in your gamma if you find

[naive lion]

If you go mia you don't get insurance

You have to drop the items

[scarlet elbow]

god damnit

[naive lion]

If you're going to go mia

[rotund sand]

yeah, a dumb mechanic

if I may say so

[scarlet elbow]

the guy sent me amessage saying he was going to get it

[naive lion]

Maybe it was a magazine

Or something

You dropped

[scarlet elbow]

well that sucks

[naive lion]

It takes 24 to 36 hours

To get the items back

[scarlet elbow]

extract counted down for a good five minutes over and over and just never let me out lol

[naive lion]

Yeah it happens rarely

It sucks

[rotund sand]

unlucky

[naive lion]

[scarlet elbow]

beta is the new 1.0 though.

with almost every new game for the last 5 years

[rotund sand]

the game will go 1.0 after it dies

just like PUBG

[scarlet elbow]

i was just gonna say

[naive lion]

I feel like the game can't really die

[scarlet elbow]

pubg in alpha early beta was amazing

[naive lion]

It just has such a solid base

[scarlet elbow]

pubg or tarkov?

[naive lion]

Tarkov

[rotund sand]

cheaters are the threat

[high dome]

ye i got hacked

[scarlet elbow]

they could ruin the game easier than ruining pubg, and theres a lot to lose in this game

[rotund sand]

because cheaters are what turn off the core playerbase generally

like dedicated players won't move away just because they don't like a newly implemented change, etc.

but if cheaters go rampant, they might

[scarlet elbow]

thats what really finally pushed me away from pubg

though ill still go do a few drops for old times sake to remind myself

[rotund sand]

I just bought PUBG like 2 weeks ago xD

[scarlet elbow]

oh man no i woulnt have done that lol

buying it for $30 in alpha was well worth it

not anymore

[rotund sand]

it was like $15 for me thanks to regional pricing

[pliant elk]

Hey guys. Easiest way to Level up 30 sniper skill points? Does the vss count?

[scarlet elbow]

ah well then

[rotund sand]

but generally, Tarkov has been the first shooter I ever played

and the results are not very promising understandably p:

[scarlet elbow]

guys i worked with tried hard to get me into it last year and when they told me you lose everything when you die i was like.. ehhhhh maybe later

[rotund sand]

this game is pretty brutal in nature

[scarlet elbow]

understanding it alittle better now, especially now that im more informed about this gamma container

[rotund sand]

I'm trying to convince a friend myself, but he does not want to lose his items

lol

[scarlet elbow]

basically run in with a pistol and the gamma and go nuts

[rotund sand]

yeah, like I said, check some of the general prices

and pocket stuff that seem decent

[scarlet elbow]

sounds like a plan

[rotund sand]

for example, a pack of nails is like 30k on flea when you have access to it

[naive lion]

usually you learn the value of items over time

[rotund sand]

yeah

[scarlet elbow]

i was gonna ask when the flea market is available

im guessing thats player based?

[gentle citrus]

how do I toggle flashlight?

[rotund sand]

level 5, but they are changing it to 15

[naive lion]

level 5 on player

t

[scarlet elbow]

and then when they wipe you lose access again?

[rotund sand]

yes

[naive lion]

I believe its T

[scarlet elbow]

XD

[naive lion]

next wipe its level 15

:/

[gentle citrus]

ok ty

[naive lion]

I hope they revert that

[rotund sand]

nah its not next wipe

[gentle citrus]

what wipe is 15?

[rotund sand]

its like next week

[naive lion]

oh really?

[gentle citrus]

wdym

[rotund sand]

yeah

[gentle citrus]

game wipe?

[naive lion]

next wipe is gonna be in a few months most likely

[gentle citrus]

no they said it's prob gonna take a few mon ths

[naive lion]

everythin gets reset

[gentle citrus]

yes exactly

[rotund sand]

thats the next big patch

[gentle citrus]

not next week XD

[scarlet elbow]

i was pretty stupid when i first started, i misread that you could loot and stuff on offline mode, took me about 5 drops vefore i realized i just kept going from 2-4 then back to 2 everytime

[rotund sand]

0.12.4 is the one I'm talking about

[naive lion]

but next week is the patch apparently

[gentle citrus]

yes but no wipe?

[rotund sand]

that one will push flea to level 15

yeah no wipe

[naive lion]

15 takes forever I feel like

[gentle citrus]

ah well it's weird that they do that

ikr

[naive lion]

I guess they want the traders to actually matter longer

[rotund sand]

inaccessibility will suck

well I guess I can push for 15

but not very close yet

[naive lion]

I'm level 30

I have like

300 hours on the game I think

[rotund sand]

which is kinda why I want to do this stupid factory quest

[naive lion]

so you'll need around 80 hours for 15?

[gentle citrus]

just killed a stacked player on customs while he ran to the extract he was like 20 meters away XD

[naive lion]

depending on how fast you level obviously

[gentle citrus]

I am so happy

[rotund sand]

I have 265h, but probably 200 was spent on inventory screen

[gentle citrus]

got 800k froim that

what lvl are you jin?

[rotund sand]

13

[gentle citrus]

wth

265 hours and only lvl 13 wuuut

[rotund sand]

I just said 200 was spent on inventory

lol

[gentle citrus]

I have like60 hours max and lvl18

[scarlet elbow]

psh you got nothing on my 6 hours

[rotund sand]

do you play FPS games in general?

[gentle citrus]

ye

[rotund sand]

then

this discussion is over xD

[scarlet elbow]

what do you normally play?

[gentle citrus]

I played pubg a lot, csgo and overwatch

[rotund sand]

nothing much

[gentle citrus]

and r6s

[scarlet elbow]

feellike jumping into tarkov without a FPS base is kinda suicidal

[rotund sand]

maybe visual novels, some League of Legends if I want

[gentle citrus]

XD

[naive lion]

damn those visual novels prepared you for tarkov

you're ready

[scarlet elbow]

well.. i bet you rage out much less XD

[fiery rover]

@scarlet elbow wrong

[rotund sand]

actually

[scarlet elbow]

eh?

[rotund sand]

true, I never rage

because I know I suck

[fiery rover]

jumping into Tarkov is always suicidal 😄

[gentle citrus]

I rage so much lol

[scarlet elbow]

fair enough lol

[naive lion]

I don't rage either I just deflate

[gentle citrus]

but onlyt when I get killed by a hacker

[naive lion]

skip the rage part and go straight to depression

[pliant elk]

Hey guys. Easiest way to Level up 30 sniper skill points? Does the vss count?

[fiery rover]

vss does not

[gentle citrus]

which happens like 2/10 games

[fiery rover]

no easy way

all single bolt action rifles are snipers

[rotund sand]

I'd never be able to tell apart a hacker, so

[scarlet elbow]

i justify one of 2 ways, why did i suck just then or why the hell are those guys in my game

[gentle citrus]

you will if one kills you

[fiery rover]

and tbh if you don#t run labs you are probably not killed by a hacker and on labs its a 10% chance or so roughly

[rotund sand]

I usually don't see who kills me

so xD

[gentle citrus]

nonono

labs is like 70% chance

[scarlet elbow]

the ones that kill me are usually within 10 yards

[rotund sand]

that happens too

[gentle citrus]

10

wth

so close

10 yards is 10 meter or?

[scarlet elbow]

10 meters is further

[naive lion]

9 meters

[gentle citrus]

lol whaat

so close

[rotund sand]

was in woods my last attempt, someone ran up to me and point blank auto fired

[scarlet elbow]

sorry, using imperial lol

[gentle citrus]

I most likely get into fights around 50 meter

sometimes in buildings like 20 tho

[scarlet elbow]

ive only played customs and most of my kills are under 20m

[rotund sand]

you need something like

[gentle citrus]

frick

[scarlet elbow]

all of my deaths under 10

[rotund sand]

#not-so-beginners-assistance buddy

[scarlet elbow]

XD no im definitely a beginner here

[rotund sand]

nah I meant Kito

[scarlet elbow]

ah

[rotund sand]

we belong here

[gentle citrus]

wut why

me too

[rotund sand]

nah you are too advanced

[gentle citrus]

not really

[rotund sand]

rule of relativity xD

[scarlet elbow]

eh true

50m im not engaging anyone without optics

[rotund sand]

you'd have killed me 9 times if we fought 10 times

[scarlet elbow]

in this game anywahs

[gentle citrus]

yes you need optics lol

[rotund sand]

10th time, I'd have fallen off some stairs and kill myself

[gentle citrus]

build a sniper and for close range 100 ergo m4a

[sage fox]

Whats a good akm for the punisher part 1 ?

[scarlet elbow]

thats a lot of crap to carry while im still a noob

id just be donating to someones cause

[rotund sand]

^

[gentle citrus]

lol

[rotund sand]

I'm just running a lowbie VPO-136 with a PK-06

[scarlet elbow]

i took some of the free loot from the edge of darkness and learned real fast

[gentle citrus]

ye with the sniper included, good armor, good helmet etc the loadout would be like 2 mil

k my match is beginning again cya

[rotund sand]

I don't want to make it to a Reddit post, honestly

[scarlet elbow]

later

[gentle citrus]

hope I don't die with 1,5mil lol

[rotund sand]

good luck

[scarlet elbow]

im coming for you

[rotund sand]

trying my Makarov queue again now

[scarlet elbow]

yeah i think ill runa scav

good luck

[rotund sand]

you too \o

[scarlet elbow]

o7

[rotund sand]

seems like factory queue is impossible today, nope

[scarlet elbow]

im still running customs until i learn it

[rotund sand]

its still a better map than factory xD

[solemn pike]

Most of the combat on Interchange is 150m or less so I generally run either an Elcan or P1X42. I'm about to start maining Reserve now....what's a good scope for Reserve? Also how difficult/profitable are the scav Raiders on Reserve?

[umbral latch]

Reserve raiders are a mixed bag

Can be good

can be bad

If you want profit as in

roubles

Invest in priority keys

[solemn pike]

I got 3 kitted M4s from raiders my second ever Reserve run yesterday. I know that's not insane loot but my armory is looking a bit barren right now.

[umbral latch]

If you want gear then theyre great

But roubles

ehhh

[solemn pike]

I usually run the 2nd best bullet now so I figure their armor wont be much of a match for that.

[rapid notch]

Anyone know the key bind to assign something from loot to actually being used on your player?

[solemn pike]

@umbral latch how much do the priority keys run?

I bought the 2 keys with 25 uses yesterday

[rotund sand]

it must be alt+LMB

[solemn pike]

On PMCs for Reserve, is the train a guaranteed exfil?

[rapid notch]

Yeah it just leaves at different times

[rotund sand]

I think the arrival time is not set, but

yeah it is guaranteed

[solemn pike]

Thank you.

[rotund sand]

you are welcome

[naive lion]

you can tell when its going to leave by the honks I think

[rotund sand]

you can hear it arriving, then the "one minute before departure" point

iirc

[cosmic goblet]

oy , i found the military base checkpoint key

[naive lion]

thats an ok key

[cosmic goblet]

should i sell it or

[naive lion]

I've never used it

I think it sells for 150k

[rotund sand]

I got it once and sold

[cosmic goblet]

180k

[rotund sand]

but if you want to use it, up to you

[naive lion]

One Weapon rack
One Grenade box
Two Wooden ammo boxes

[cosmic goblet]

hmmmmm

where exactly is the door for that key

[naive lion]

uhh

its on the main road on customs

[cyan fjord]

my stash is full because i dont know what to sell, can anyone help?

[naive lion]

here I believe

[rotund sand]

yeah

[hardy parcel]

what rounds should i run with the mosin?

[rotund sand]

what have you hoarded in stash

[flat cipher]

7n1

for 54r bolt actions

SNB for semis

[naive lion]

budget is LPS Gzh

if you're really hurting for money

[hardy parcel]

thnx guys 😛

[flat cipher]

you can also just keep 7n1 in your secure so you dont really lose muh if you die

[cosmic goblet]

u need to take it out of the container to reload doe

[fiery rover]

yes

[rotund sand]

better than throwing away expensive ammo

[solemn pike]

@cyan fjord sure post it here or dm me

[cosmic goblet]

upgrading the stash

is so fucking expensive

[naive lion]

well worth it

at least the first time

[cosmic goblet]

i would love to do it but it takes ages to reach 3,5

[naive lion]

2nd upgrade is even more expensive

and not worth it in my opinion

[rotund sand]

I'm just going to p2w, eventually

just waiting to have enough money for red rebel

[naive lion]

imagine RR prices

on wipe day

[rotund sand]

imagine trying to play on wipe day

thats scarier for me

[cosmic goblet]

should i sell the fuel conditioner

[naive lion]

wipe day is going to be fun I feel like

no chads

mostly rats

[rotund sand]

found in raid quest item

I wouldn't

[cosmic goblet]

which quest is it

[rotund sand]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/The_Blood_of_War_-_Part_2

[gentle citrus]

how to level up fast? I need to be lvl 20 and I am 18

[rotund sand]

go to factory, wipe the server

[frank beacon]

Do tasks.

Or go in as a tank on factory and farm scav

[rotund sand]

you probably have a ton of tasks to do fast

since you were just doing Aquarius today

[ornate moss]

does sthurman key spawn everytime?

[agile raft]

is there an updated interchange map ?

[flat cipher]

not yet

and yes @ornate moss

[ornate moss]

😠 then some rat looted him while i was going there ffs

[rotund sand]

thats some commendable bravery for a rat

[ornate moss]

so annoying cuz i need it for my quest

[rotund sand]

actually sounds profitable

dedicated Shturman rat

load in, find Shturman, start waiting endlessly till he gets killed, rush for his key + possibly red rebel, disconnect

[cosmic goblet]

why disconnect

dont u just stand there then?

[rotund sand]

if you manually disconnect, no

you go AWOL

then you can just go raid again

[cosmic goblet]

so u mean like , swapping ur melee weapon against the possible rr and put the key in container and just disconnect?

or did i get smth wrong

[rotund sand]

yeah

[cosmic goblet]

i see

[rotund sand]

some boring ass gameplay but

might work once in a blue moon, who knows, lol

[cosmic goblet]

some quests are infuriating

so guess doing this once is okay

btw , where exactly is the pumping station?

in factory

[rotund sand]

I'll have to hatchet again for Jaeger quest again

[cosmic goblet]

sounds fun

[rotund sand]

or take some trash weapon maybe

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Door_key this

[gentle citrus]

but

scav killing on factory doesn't give that much xp

right

I thought killing a scav gives like no xp

[rotund sand]

I mean if you kill enough and extract

do pmc kills even grant more exp? I have no clue

a scav kill is 300 exp, iirc

[gentle citrus]

oh dang

[cosmic goblet]

oh wow

thank you!!

[rotund sand]

you are welcome

so killing 5 scavs and extracting would be like 3k

with no looting involved

so quests might be profitable in a sense, if you want to do them or have any to do, that is

*exp profitable

The more I play reckless the higher the chance I live

It’s weird

[paper trout]

Hi new here and to game etc, needing some Help

[rotund sand]

a slow moving target is much more likely to get killed

explains my insane death rate too

[scarlet elbow]

god damn that was fast.... headshot a minute in XD

[rotund sand]

rip

what map

[scarlet elbow]

customs

[rotund sand]

ah

maybe someone checked your spawn

or was this a dorm rush

[scarlet elbow]

i did run into a messed up firefight but i was fairly well concealed

uhh was on the bridge to the west of dorms

heading to dorms XD

[flat cipher]

@tepid fossil people are scared of aggressive players

[rotund sand]

sounds rough

[scarlet elbow]

just lost the pistol

[gentle citrus]

JUST HAD SUCH A GOOD RAID ON CUSTOMS OMG

oops caps

[rotund sand]

tried queuing 5 times for factory, not a single game found

[gentle citrus]

killed the boss scav and the scavs around him and 3 players

[thick harness]

gratz

golden TT squad

[gentle citrus]

killed 13 things total XD

[rotund sand]

told you, not so beginner p:

[thick harness]

I just killed a player scav who found a thermal. Feelsbad

[scarlet elbow]

you can check spawns?

or im assuming theyre not random

[gentle citrus]

I found a labs keycard in them yazz

[rotund sand]

you can

[scarlet elbow]

😮

that seems shitty

[rotund sand]

labs keycard pales from what you can get in total from 13 kills, come on

[tepid fossil]

@flat cipher yeah I play the most aggressive when I have teammates

[thick harness]

Strip suppressors, optics, lasers

[gentle citrus]

this is what I got from the raid:

[scarlet elbow]

honeslty whats really annoying is just running into duos every damned game as a scav

[rotund sand]

rich

[dusty ice]

anybody want to get a raid going? im lowly noobie but quick learner

[gentle citrus]

gotta go eat now cya

[flat dew]

when pulling the lever for the hermetic door on reserve, is there a chance of raiders spawning every time or just the first time

[tepid fossil]

@flat dew I believe it’s rare but sometimes they do

According to a friend of mine

Raiders only spawn once if it’s open and it’s not every time that they spawn

There are also times where raiders spawn with the train or come from white knight iirc

[sage basin]

idk how to play or the basics of this game can someone help me

[scarlet elbow]

definitely do offline for a bit

[flat dew]

tbx

[scarlet elbow]

while you won't progress or gather loot it'll help you learn without the risk

[steel wigeon]

^^^ helps a ton to learn maps at a bare minimum

[scarlet elbow]

granted my potato ass didnt know offline meant no progression for the first 5 raids... XD

[cosmic goblet]

should i start shooting when cqc while the cahracter is still in the animation to ads?

or should i wait till hes fully aiming through

[tepid fossil]

The heck is a cqc

[sharp hazel]

where do I go if all the assistance chats are full?

[steel wigeon]

i'd just start. in cqc its just good to get rounds down range in my experience

[scarlet elbow]

ive noticed hip firing is insanely inaccurate outside 10m

[tepid fossil]

Sherpadisc @sharp hazel

Unless you got laser @scarlet elbow

[steel wigeon]

it might be inaccurate but theres still a chance of a stray bullet hitting the head or something

[sharp hazel]

The sherpa waiting room? @tepid fossil

[tepid fossil]

Nono

[scarlet elbow]

even then ive run into a few where ive only had 1 encounter and 1 spray to judge the statistics and its like... well where did the rounds go XD

[tepid fossil]

There’s a timing for hipping

You don’t always need to hip

[cosmic goblet]

The heck is a cqc
@tepid fossil close quarter combat

[tepid fossil]

Oh

[scarlet elbow]

Id rather take the time if i have it for a well placed shot

[tepid fossil]

You can shoot while he’s adsing @cosmic goblet

Defo worth

Might get him in the first shot

[scarlet elbow]

if its me on the recieving end you certainly will

because terrible luck i have

[tepid fossil]

Aw don’t be so self deprecating

[scarlet elbow]

oh not even close, I am just realistic XD

[tepid fossil]

No you’re not

You’ll definitely do that to someone else

[runic wren]

zero two emote?

[flat cipher]

[tepid fossil]

Yup

[runic wren]

very nice, I like

[flat cipher]

[tepid fossil]

[scarlet elbow]

is there a faster way to heal between raids

[tepid fossil]

Healing yourself

[runic wren]

you can use your medkits

[scarlet elbow]

and to increase the normal rate you have to upgrade the hideout?

[runic wren]

yes

[tepid fossil]

Yes

[runic wren]

anyone willing to help little ol me out?

[tepid fossil]

Chup!

[scarlet elbow]

trying to figure out the skill tree as well... it keeps telling me ive leveled something, then i go and its still level zero but the number to the right is like 8.6

[runic wren]

Like doing a raid with me?

[tepid fossil]

I’m at bed

[runic wren]

dang

[flat cipher]

@scarlet elbow are you levelling things as a scav

[scarlet elbow]

uhh both?

[flat cipher]

scavs have their own skill trees

so

[runic wren]

@hanzu I like your profile gif as well

[tepid fossil]

Thanks

BUT ITS HANZSU

REEEE

Why does everyone get it wrong

[flat cipher]

hanszo

[tepid fossil]

HANZSU

[flat cipher]

haznso

[runic wren]

I clicked your name I thought

[tepid fossil]

AAAAA

[scarlet elbow]

i just go to skills and some things have hit lvl 1 but others like searching and such are zero even though its said ive leveled up

[runic wren]

well doing pistol only on customs wish me luck

[scarlet elbow]

anyone wanna jump into a scav?

[wet moss]

@scarlet elbow #pvp-lfg

[scarlet elbow]

yeah just found it ty

[bitter bronze]

Anyone wanna hop in a call and teach a noob some shit

[wet moss]

What exactly are you looking to learn

[bitter bronze]

Anything really

Any advice or tips or just general stuff

@wet moss Im in Duo Papa if you wanna join

[night trench]

ammo case can store ammo boxes?

[fallen hollow]

no

only ammo

[night trench]

so I need to unpack the boxes?

[fallen hollow]

wait what

why wouldnt you?

[night trench]

space

ammo pack occupies less no?

[fallen hollow]

the boxes are worth nothing and you can store more in one stack

[night trench]

ah

[fallen hollow]

always unpack ammo

[night trench]

ok

[fallen hollow]

if you want you can send me a picture of your stash for stash help

[night trench]

so getting gunpwder from flea market and doing trade with mechanic I think I can get an ammo case for around 70k roubles

Worth the investment no?

[fallen hollow]

yes ammo cases are big and can store all ammo

[night trench]

ok

thank

[fallen hollow]

send me a pic of your stash for help if you want

[night trench]

ok for info, packs can be stored inside ammo case but still going to unpack as you told

empty packs just discard no?

[fast socket]

best way to level peacekeeper ?

[fiery rover]

transform rouble to dollar

[fast socket]

Cool thanks

[cursive shoal]

well shit.. i just finally upgraded and got the firing range in the hideout... first weapon I fire, i notice that all my bullets are going considerably lower than where i aim... i guess that would be why i miss so many headshots

[fiery rover]

what weapon what scope what zeroing?

and what bullet

[cursive shoal]

tx-15, something i picked up from a scav run, m855a1, bravo4 and pk-06 ... zeroed at 50

[flat cipher]

and what fov

[cursive shoal]

fov is 63

[flat cipher]

hm

[fiery rover]

hm

bravo zero it at 100 in general and it will probably always have that problem its more a long range scope

[cursive shoal]

all 3 of the targets it hits like 2-3 dashes below aim spot

[fiery rover]

pk-06 should hit on point actually

but i don't have much experience with the tx-15 never played that gun

[cursive shoal]

i'll prolly have to bring all my guns there just to see how it fires before i bring it into a raid

[fiery rover]

good idea

[cursive shoal]

just explains why i hit chest instead of face shots a lot

[fiery rover]

true^^

[cursive shoal]

i guess aim for the crown of the head instead of the nose

[fiery rover]

damn those matching times

[cursive shoal]

they can be brutal for sure sometimes

[fiery rover]

gonna watch an anime now lets see what finishes first

matching or my episode 😄

[rotund sand]

what anime

[fiery rover]

ID:Invaded episode 11

[rotund sand]

ah, one of the many I left piling up, maybe one day I'll catch up

I tried matching into factory 5 times today, no good

[fiery rover]

11min now its loading loot finally

also definitly go watch ID:Invaded one of the best this season if you like mystery/detektive and its an original anime so always worth a look

[cursive shoal]

be gentle if you're loading into reserve, thats where i am headed

[fiery rover]

not going into reserve

[rotund sand]

I have watched the first few episodes, so I know

[dusty mantle]

Are there people hacking and taking advantage of vulnerabilities in EFT? Twice now that I've had somebody jump around a corner (almost silently btw) and shoot me dead, just like they knew exactly where I was positioned.

Bit infuriating

[rotund sand]

could be something fishy, but could also be someone hearing you or just checking a spot they usually check, who knows

[fiery rover]

there are hackers yes but its more likely to die because of desync lag ect.

[dusty mantle]

I practically crawled there silently. and the rate at which the guy turned and shot me precisely was remarkable

[fiery rover]

but just jupming around a corner and killing you: you probably made a sound he had a headset

also crawling is loud as fuck

[dusty mantle]

Alright, not prone.. but crouched and slow

[rotund sand]

crouch walk is the only silent thing, basically

[dusty mantle]

and was aimed the whole time, so as not to make that noise

I'd been there a good 1 minute

shrug just seems a bit too fishy

[fiery rover]

depending on the place it might be or not be

its hard to say afterwards

[rotund sand]

wtf

the ammo in my Makarov is gone

[hallow arrow]

Is there anyway to raise your brightness up? Dude was right in front of me in forest and I couldn't see him standing up because of the shadow from the tall trees

[rotund sand]

where did the ammo go from the mag when I haven't played a round after loading it up

[surreal cairn]

if any new players are looking for some help learning the game hmu i play on us servers

[hollow sedge]

when you greet someone it says ____ greets you right?

[dusk quail]

yes

[fiery rover]

yes

[rotund sand]

why can I never get a factory match, I wonder

I don't even want to play this map

[sacred acorn]

does this helm have a built in headset?

im confoozled

[dusk quail]

no

[fiery rover]

no

[sacred acorn]

okay ty

[rotund sand]

Pestily doing a level 15 speed run

[edgy phoenix]

What is a zooming scope with the least lag for my mosin ?

[rotund sand]

"for example if you kill a five man squad in labs as a new player, it might be better to extract after"

[cosmic goblet]

is there a good woods map somewhere?

i coudlnt find a good without having a stroke reading what it says

[flat cipher]

probably, check outside of the wiki

[split vapor]

!wiki woods

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Woods

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Woods

Woods is a location in Escape from Tarkov. It is the third location that was added to the game.

[cosmic goblet]

thanks

[sick moth]

hey guys quick question for you.
I'll be traveling for work leaving tonight and I won't be back before thursday in afternoon. say I play today and insure my stuff with prapor. any chance that my stuff will still be in my mail when I'll be back or it's a waste of money to insure today

[gentle citrus]

omg I had like a 1,5 mil raid as a scav on day customs

I spawned in with a pistol...

only killed 2 guys

lvl 49 and lvl 50, but the lvl 50 was stacked as hell

he has 4 high ass dogtags in his backpackj

[woeful forum]

i have been trying for 3 days i cant get a single kill for a shooter born in heaven in customs

anyone has any tips ?

im this close to trying and cheese it

[cursive shoal]

well that was a success... damn

[rotund sand]

trying a scav in shoreline

[rotund sand]

13 fraternity

[tawdry badge]

cuz i lost 1.5 mil + gears so basically 2 mil of stuff

and went completely broke

[rotund sand]

ouch

[tawdry badge]

i went in with tier 5 armor + head, 3 times, and died all 3 times

[rotund sand]

haven't used anything good so far

I'm not worth it

[cursive shoal]

i know that feeling Jin.. i do scav runs to get pmc gear and use their loadouts

[tawdry badge]

I had this mindset of "good armor good head -> invincibility"

[split vapor]

yikes

that got smashed hard

[rotund sand]

the base M700 I ran today was my best gun ever p:

anyways, in raid as scav now \o

[split vapor]

who would win
2 m61 or fort armor

[tawdry badge]

paid basically 2 mil for that mindset hahaha

never again

@rotund sand u wanna run a raid together or sum

[rotund sand]

if its required to be found in raid and u didnt find it in raid u cant turn it in though

[night trench]

where is option

dont see it

[spark hawk]

Are servers trash atm?

[split vapor]

You need the item to be able to turn it in

or you have item that isnt found in raid when it needs to be

door gang

[bold kernel]

[split vapor]

rof

[fiery rover]

[split vapor]

decent round

[fiery rover]

high rate of fire

[split vapor]

vss most accurate rilfe in game 0.01

[hollow fulcrum]

What parts are needed for meta vss?

not much you can change?

[fiery rover]

nothing except a scope

[little gate]

anyone having trouble getting into raids?

[fiery rover]

thats why its so good there is no need to mod it for it to be good

[little gate]

ive been waiting on factory for 10 mins

[hollow fulcrum]

so no lasers, no foregrips?

[rotund sand]

@little gate if EU, thats me for the whole day in factory

[heavy flume]

How in the world are you expected to kill PMCs with a pistol

[wet moss]

@heavy flume ap 6.3 ammo for 9x19

[gentle citrus]

omfg now I get killed by a cheater as scav

this game needs to fix their freaking shi

t

[fiery rover]

what happened?

[little gate]

yep EU, wasnt aware servers were having issues but i aint suprised

[gentle citrus]

he ran directly towards me and then prefired while still loudly comming towards me

around the corner

he couldn't know I was there

[rotund sand]

I mean I haven't seen an announcement post, but I have wasted a good amount waiting for factory today

[gentle citrus]

haven't moved since spawn

[little gate]

@heavy flume AP rounds, automatic pistol and fug tonne of luck

[rotund sand]

was able to play in customs and shoreline though

[cosmic goblet]

i hate woods so much

[heavy flume]

Hell I can't afford that much of that ammo type

What's a good map to run into hatchlings?

[rotund sand]

reserve is one

[little gate]

i kinda wanna do cqc for the pistol quests but i can only really get that in factory

[rotund sand]

but don't quote me, I only run into geared boys myself

[stoic forge]

is doorkicker good for high geared sets?

[rustic obsidian]

I rarely run into geared ppl on reserved. The only geared are the ones camping dome lol

[heavy flume]

@little gate You wanna try and queue up factory so we can farm it off each other?

[echo lava]

i know it's supposed to be in lfg but i'm not having the best luck. i think what i'm looking for is called a sherpa? i'm trying to do 3 quests in customs. find water in dorm, get pocketwatch from truck, find key on dead guy. i know where they are and i have the necessary keys. but dorms is scary 😦

i also have customs red building key for loots

it spawns a resort key i think

[rotund sand]

find key on dead guy?

[gloomy rose]

just go with your best loot

and run run loot loot and taunt the shit out of any1 you see

[rotund sand]

oh that Skier quest

[gloomy rose]

fear gone

[echo lava]

my best loot is tt pistol

[tardy pond]

@echo lava you can also apply for a sherpa through the website

[little gate]

OMFG i went to take a piss during my 15 min factory wait for matchmaking and i was dead by the time i came back

Welp

some guy got lucky

[tardy pond]

F

[little gate]

not massively but pretty much as kitted as i can afford

guess its back to scav BJs on customs till i can afford another raid

a couple of weeks ago

got to lvl 11

i know im addicted

[tardy pond]

Dont waste scavs kn customs

Go reserve or i terchange

[echo lava]

@tardy pond that sounds serious though and i dont want to disappoint people by being too bad

[little gate]

ngl im too afraid to learn other maps but i heard interchange is pretty good on loot

[rotund sand]

that'd be like a kindergarten teacher getting mad at his student for not understanding what Edgar Allan Poe was trying to tell in his poems

[stone moss]

Whats up people.

[rotund sand]

feeling lucky, kinda

[heavy flume]

I know interchange inside and out but I've no idea where the button to activate the doors is on reserve

[rotund sand]

in a tiny "building" right next to one of the buildings that surround the helicopter

close to dome side

[heavy flume]

I have a pretty crappy map of reserve, where is dome?

[rotund sand]

look up "reserve 3d map"

[heavy flume]

I know heli is southeast

[rotund sand]

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/c/c0/ReserveMap3d.jpg next to white pawn here

[heavy flume]

Wait, this looks flipped to my map

Is this proper north orientation?

[umbral latch]

always good to picture dome as north

most people do

[heavy flume]

okay

[rotund sand]

I have no clue if its oriented that way, but might as well use this as reference

and accept it as north

its very difficult to lose sight of the dome, so it should be okay whichever way you think, I suppose

[tranquil plover]

how much does a labs keycard sell for?

[fiery rover]

150k or so

[tranquil plover]

or should i hold onto it as a new player

[fiery rover]

+- on the time of sale

i would sell it

you can always buy one and as a new player its unlikely for you to go labs

[stuck dragon]

just started the game today. What are good places to go to and possibly get decent loot without having alot of engagements? Im still working on my aim a bit so i don't wanna accidentally run into the thick of it.

[fiery rover]

there aren#t any

places with decent loot always have engagements

[tranquil plover]

yeah you will always fight for loot

[fiery rover]

if you wanna get used to guns or practice aim go offline mode with scav and scavboss

[stuck dragon]

alright
