spark hawk
#

Lol

glad totem
#

only problem is extracting so i normally dont bring backpack on money runs

#

but it bit me in the ass because im not hiding in marked room bc i cant fit weapons case

#

and i dont want to leave it behind

spark hawk
#

I’m just joshing honestly there really isn’t a best map. Everybody plays different and has favorite maps. I personally don’t think any are better then the other

glad totem
#

loot wise it is

#

then probably interchange after

craggy valley
#

No

spark hawk
#

Interchange has been a goldmine for me lately. Just join a scav run and literally tech stores untouched

craggy valley
#

verbal summit
#

scav run and stop begging @tulip raptor

tulip raptor
#

im not begging and scavs are use less

verbal summit
#

stop asking for free loot* and scavs are not useless and you would know if you used em

plucky holly
#

im not begging and scavs are use less
@tulip raptor Scav runs are not useless whatsoever.

Scav Runs usually can get you around 500-600K profit if you play right and don't go straight for PVP
Now stop begging and start earning. Begging makes people dislike you more. Js

spark hawk

Dudes been begging for weeks now😂

#

What is a good way to level strength to 3?

#

Me and a friend tried smacking each other but after a minute or so you stop getting xp.. and same with throwing grenades

silver hornet
#

start carrying shit into raids and just walk around

dire rock
#

skill leveling has diminishing returns so at the start they level faster then after leveling for a certain time it decreases to normal then 50% then 25%

#

@acoustic timber not cool man

graceful glen
#

Any recommended items @silver hornet

#

And what is the level of weight I need to hit to get xp?

silver hornet
#

let me check

dire rock
#

i think its anything over 70 but i could be wrong on that

#

wiki might have it

silver hornet
#

yeah, that's not right

#

Around 48kg

fast rivet
#

70% of your max weight or some shit

olive turret
#

48.75

silver hornet
#

@graceful glen what edition of the game do you have?

graceful glen
#

EOD

silver hornet
#

If you fill up your pockets, a Beta bag, and your Gamma with shotgun shells, it'll bring you up to 46 kilos

#

780 7mm shotgun shells is roughly 30k

dire rock
#

someone gonna loot that and be soo confused

woods for profit saving my mental state rn

#

lost like half my stash value @ labs yday

#

down to 7m

#

but fuck woods is good

lost epoch
#

Whats better a VSS or SA 58 and why?
&
Which one would you pick up first?

limber nacelle
#

SA 58 is a marksman rifle, designed for long range

#

a lot of damage per shot

#

vss is fast as fuck and designed for close quarters

lost epoch
#

so whats better?

#

and which one would you pick up first

limber nacelle
#

i cant answer that without knowing how you play

lilac jackal
#

which would win

limber nacelle
#

which maps u play

lost epoch
#

personally overall

lilac jackal
#

in a 1v1 office fight

limber nacelle
#

i'd pick vss

lilac jackal
#

on Factory

limber nacelle
#

cus i play factory a lot

#

and dorms etc

#

it dominates, plus cheap ammo

lost epoch
#

which would win in factory or dorms

#

1v1

limber nacelle
#

vss

#

unless headshot instantly

#

but both 1 tap anyways

#

depending on helm ofc

sonic lake
#

woods has like no loot but somehow its super consistent profit

#

and if you find a violet key thats ez 10m

limber nacelle
#

yeah cus sperman and other pmcs who dont know the map well

#

never found a keycard :c

sonic lake
#

ive found like 4 or 5

limber nacelle
#

woods is my 2nd most palyed map 100%

lost epoch
#

@sonic lake would you take a vss or a sa 58?

#

if you had to choose 1

limber nacelle
#

its the one in the shed eh?

sonic lake
#

for what

#

theres 3 spawns

lost epoch
#

1v1

sonic lake
#

what situation

lost epoch
#

factory or dorms

sonic lake
#

if i had the best ammo

#

FAL

lost epoch
#

leveled playing feild

#

like mid tier

lilac jackal
#

so m61 vs 7N12 BP

#

all meta'ed out

#

70 vert sa58 or 48 or something vss

#

CQC

#

office factory

sonic lake
#

actually

#

yeah personally a fal

lost epoch
#

@limber nacelle why would you take a VSS?

sonic lake
#

although VSS with BP is better than FAL with M61 in cqc

#

faster ttk

lost epoch
#

we are not talking persaonlly

#

overall

#

which one is better

sonic lake
#

VSS

#

in a 1v1, it'll kill a fal

#

using best ammo for both, FAL still loses

#

starting shooting at the same time with all shots hitting, everyone starting with full hp, i think VSS with BP wins over FAL with M61/2

#

when wearing class 6, maybe the FAL wins, but ill still bet on VSS

lost epoch
#

alright thanks!

lilac jackal
#

nah the M61 pens lvl 6 so would have higher flesh damage

#

7n12 has lower chance of pening so FAL would win wouldnt it?

sonic lake
#

but rate of fire

lilac jackal
#

the flesh damage

sonic lake
#

i know

lost epoch
#

i agree with spyder

lilac jackal
#

you have no say in this woman ^

sonic lake
#

anyways, its more realistic to hit all shots with a vss since its a laserbeam.
again, personal preference id use a FAL myself

What is default "overweight" at strength 0?

silver hornet

48 kilograms

formal glen
regal plover
#

Yup. A true scavenger.

ancient falcon
#

do we need to use a shader for this game?

#

I do have a hard time seeing people. Sometimes they are so camouflaged or I can't tell if they are an object or a person. Would it really help with those?

flat cipher
#

you mean filters?

ancient falcon
#

yeah

#

the nvidia one

onyx wraith
#

I wouldn't use it personally, but a lot of people do

flat cipher
#

with or without, the main thing that sees people is just experience

regal plover
#

Some of that comes with time. I frequently use flashlights when in buildings because I ahve toruble seeing people in darkened areas.

flat cipher
#

you remember colour/contrast changes

#

and notice movement thats abnormal

ancient falcon
#

This guy was just black in my screen about 10 m away near a train. I couldn't tell if it was a part of the train or the guy i was fighting

#

until i dide

#

died

onyx wraith
#

With experience, you'd probably react differently to that

ancient falcon
#

movement doesn't matter if they are holding an angle crouching still

onyx wraith
#

The more you play, the more you will notice abnormalities and react quicker

regal plover
ancient falcon
#

Mine was in broad daylight

#

forgot to record it

regal plover
#

So is this.

#

Just in a darker area of the map.

dire rock
#

Tis why we use a lil something called filters

#

I mean it’s more for seeing the loot on dark shelves and such but ya know it still kinda helps

onyx wraith
#

We all know you're not using it to see shelf-loot, but to gain unfair advantage

fast rivet
#

brb, banning duth

dire rock
#

Tbh all I have mine set up to do is make slight things more easy to see it doesn’t really help much for seeing people since they’re still the same color as the background

flat cipher
#

mine just makes my game look less sad

onyx wraith
#

YOu usually also don't change the color of people, just brighten stuff up

dire rock
#

That’s what mine does

fast rivet
#

yeah, with my fucked eyes i up the gamma a tiny bit to help me see, loot shows up way better, players though, still hidden

dire rock
#

So it brightens up the environment and the people so it’s still the same tone and it’s no easier to see people

I thought your friend gave you those keys

wtf kinda friends yall got?

onyx wraith

When I was new at the game, my friend gave me a RR and a SICC case, but I've only used the RR for extraction like 10 times in total

There's a definitive worst one by design; the GSSH but other than that it's just preference mostly

bold kernel

@white forge prefrence

I'm currently using nothing but Razors because of how good they sound

sordins are my preferred, never heard the Razors :v

sordins are in my case the worse

i trust mostly tactical sport and comtacs as of rn

silent swan
#

u know the beta i can buy from peacekeeper can i give it to others

onyx wraith
#

Can't drop your secure containers

#

The closest you can get to "giving it" to someone is to sell it to fence and hop they're able to buy it first

silent swan
#

rip

#

fuck tht its like 5 mil to make

#

someone will take it

onyx wraith
#

Exactly, you can't drop containers anymore cause people would drop their gammas to their standard account friends, reset their account, get another gamma, drop it to their friends, reset account etc etc

onyx wraith

And the way you level Vitality is by taking damage and by bleeding

#

@dreamy wasp Also either Airframe or dark EXFIL

bold kernel
#

anyone have an idea what the fastes way to train strenght would be?

#

money is no issue :-

onyx wraith
#

8 nades at the start of a raid

#

Then kill a bunch of stuff, loot till you're at 48.75 weight, and walk to extract

bold kernel
#

would that also work without the killing/looting? Throw the 8 nades, disconnect, repeat?

#

or just have the last grenade kill you?

#

nvm it was bugged :3

dreamy wasp
#

@onyx wraith whats the difference between dark and coyote

onyx wraith

The coyote one can't have a faceshield, only ear protection. Dark can have both

coyote can have nvg's though

@fallen hollow It's the helmets that cover the ears, and not the whole head. They have low sound reduction while whole head is high sound reduction.

but which ones particulary?

Alright, so. I've played the game for a day now, and I am coming up to day two. It's fun, and hardcore, but a little difficult for me to get to fully understand.

#

I've done a scav and PMC raid here and there, with success and failure rates.

#

Understanding the weapon mechanics is taking me a little while. I really need to learn to shoot in this game.

#

I'd like some guidance/assistance with a few things:

  1. What is the best place to start? So far, I've been having a better success rate with Shoreline as a starting point. Customs, not so much.
  2. Is there better ways to navigate a map (via a web browser on my laptop, I found a website.)
  3. What should, and should I not loot? Should I take the "You need to have a goal" piece of advice? - Latter I might know the answer to myself as I am figuring out how to upgrade my hideout.
  4. What is the purpose of dog-tags? What can I do with them?
  5. What items could I sell here and there, and so and so on.

@cinder talon So ur first question do maps that u probably know most, build up some gear and maybe learn a new map
A good way to navigate is using reference points such as radar tower and resort
Loot stuff that u think are valuable u shoot loot guns or maybe u should loot anything u find considering u are coming up on day 2, take what u can and u can start to learn what is valuable
The purpose of dog tags is to sell or collect or verify that u killed them when u are with people
always check, keys,electronics,batteries or some scopes those tend to be the most valuable and keycards of course

flat cipher
#

Learn customs first, lots of quests there, some highend/lowend pvp going on, so potentially some nice gear too

#

There are plenty of maps on the wiki

#

also, learning the cost of items is something that really comes in handy

#

Like if you have 1 slot remaining and two items that are slightly similar prices, if you can recall which is better to keep, it helps

#

theres a website for that, though

#

tags, keep 10 usec, 10 bear, for a quest later on, but you can sell the rest

#

I'd kinda hold onto most things before selling, until you reach level 10, so you can check flea prices

m855a1 is regularly the same price as BS 5.45

affordable and 5.56 dont go too well together

has the bullet drop been increased?

no, were you using a vss?

the drop on that shouldnt be bad out to like 100m+

unless you had US ammo

cursive elbow

looking for help on customs

lapis mauve
#

oh

#

so at close range the point of impact can be low

#

because the gun is trying to shoot something at 50m (for example) but the bullet cant travel that far

fallen hollow
#

@flat dew the sight is a bit higher than when the bullets go at that range

lapis mauve
#

and things like how high the sight is mounted affects it

at that range

thx, maybe now ill stop dropping dead

How did a gluhar guard 1 shot me to the arm?

#

when I was full hp?

lapis mauve
#

my only guess is the bullet penetrated your arm and hit your chest/head or it had a frag

ancient falcon
#

He was in front

#

through a little hole as well. I was shooting him so many times and nothing was registering

#

in reserves underground

lapis mauve

maybe desync then

ancient falcon

through the forklift in front of the door you enter it

#

@lapis mauve would this be desync?

#

or is val this bad at anything besides close range?

#

vss*

lapis mauve
#

I’m on my tablet right now so I can’t see the guy you shot. Could have been the drop but probably not at that range. Unless he was across the way by the other wall. As for the shot that killed you I would guess it was a frag

i hope someone takes his loot

fallen hollow
#

@ancient falcon thats a scav boss guard

#

they have super aim they can and will 1 shot you

ancient falcon
#

@fallen hollow yeah but to the arm? and also my bullets weren't even hitting him.

#

I shot him more than 5 times through that gap before that and it did nothing

@ancient falcon did it actually say you got shot in the arm?

@silver hornet yeah watch the vid

silver hornet
#

there's only two scenarios I can see where you could've died in one shot from a scav guard

#

M62 that fragmented, or you got the full force of a RIP, and I don't even know if either of those would instakill to the arm.

#

why isn't PMM compatible with kedr b?

#

its 9x18

it's too hot for the KEDR

anyone willing to help me a bit navigate in shoreline? i only played it 1-2 times ( raids )and don't know the map yet, still learning all the map from the game ( i mean how areas on the map of shoreline will look in the raid itself ) and i have this mechanic mission "signal part 1", DM me

Level 14 here, stuck on a task for the longest time. I've gotten the first part of delivery from the past done probably 3 times but i cant seem to survive factory.

#

I'm also stuck on signal part 1, shoreline is my weakest map

#

DM me

bold kernel
#

just a tip sono, about the signal part 1, for the power station objective just follow those big electricity poles when you see them, they are ending at the power station where the antenna ( mission objective ) is supposed to be from what the wiki says, i did it, got shot by a player there so i didn't found the antenna but it supposed to be there, just becarful there is alot of scavs there, and one scav sniper on the power station building roof

verbal pendant
#

Nice, thats a good tip

#

I did look up the location of the other one and its apparently on the roof of the resort, so that will be fun

yeah i was planning on doing hatchling run for it because from the shoreline run i did now i heared alot of shootings

from the resort

@verbal pendant have you tried doing it at night? cheap nvg with helm should run 50k ish

its luck for that quest due to spawns but you can get lucky and spawn right by gate 3 and plant it quick

hey guys, has anyone found a fix for the mouse cursor staying in the middle of the screen during a raid? ive tried everything... it seems to happen switching back and fourth from my computers

verbal pendant
#

i just do the alt-enter key combo when my graphics are doing weird stuff

#

that just forces windowed and then full screen when used again

trail talon
#

@verbal pendant The roof of the west wing can be accessed via an outside metal staircase. If you enter through the break in the fence in the NW corner and run, bush-to-bush diagonally towards the building, you'll see it. Run up to the roof and go near the satellite dish and you're done. Wait til there's like 20 minutes left in the raid, and it'll likely be deserted, save for a few AI scavs.

#

You can also enter the west wing from the roof. There's some quests in there later on.

#

what are your fps and what rigs are you running the game on?

#

Im just wondering as im planning on buying it

#

youtube benchmarks vary widely

onyx wraith
#

Pretty much all videos are gonna be outdated, the biggest update in history in terms of performance happened just today and now the game is insane

robust birch
#

like insanely bad?

onyx wraith
#

Insanely good, playable

robust birch
#

like i really want to run the game on high framerate

#

like on 144fps or atleast close

onyx wraith
#

Yes, I went from 70 FPS to 120 which is the cap

robust birch
#

but that would be hard, right?

#

you can't go above?

bold kernel
#

nah

onyx wraith
#

120 is cap

robust birch
#

should i run stable 120fps on rtx 2080 super and i5 9600KF?

#

along with 16gb od 3600mhz ram

bold kernel
#

i5 😳

onyx wraith
#

We don't know yet cause the update happened recently

robust birch
#

why would i choose i7 for games 😄

onyx wraith
#

But with 1080TI and Ryzen 1700x and everything on high graphics, I run at 120 fps up from 60-70 previously before today

bold kernel
#

its fine man i play on an old 500 dollar gaming laptop

onyx wraith

Also used to play on low graphics to get 60

andget50-70 frames

robust birch
#

fine

#

well im close to buying it

bold kernel
#

u getting eod

robust birch

but there's one more thing that is confusing me

bold kernel
#

or standard?

robust birch
#

naah

#

standard

bold kernel
#

ah ok

robust birch
#

you know, i dont think if i will enjoy the game because i can't see a clear point in the gameplay

#

like you deploy, kill or loot and just extract

#

there is no point or anything

#

to be last man standing or anything else

bold kernel
#

there is quests

#

that u do to get better containers

onyx wraith
#

And then you increase your stash value, get more money, run cooler weapons, better gear, do quests, see yourself improve

bold kernel
#

u start off as a lil mosin boi with a dream

onyx wraith
#

Game won't hold your hand for a second though, and there are 1000s of hours of learning

bold kernel
#

then once u play enough

#

u turn into qa chad that only brings m4's

#

and dicks on everyone they see

robust birch
#

lol

#

sounds cool

bold kernel
#

tbh ive been playing for a month\

and i just started getting ood

good

#

youll figure out what type of gameplay fits u most

robust birch
#

i think i won't like if i tell that im super good at FPS games

#

my fps in call of duty multiplayer is almost 2.0

#

but now what's cod compared to tarkov

#

but i guess i i just have to try it

onyx wraith
#

I'm gonna assume you meant KD

bold kernel
#

lol

robust birch
#

lmao

#

yeah i meant KD

#

dunno why i wrote fps

bold kernel
#

u most likely wont kill more then2-3 people per raid

#

unless u come across a 5 man

#

and chad it out

onyx wraith
#

2.6 KD in MW3, with a 73 1v1 winstreak, Global in CSGO, Diamond in R6s, rank 14 on NA Duo in FPP PUBG; but Tarkov has been the roughest game for me to learn

robust birch
#

as soon as i start, I should play as SCAV and learn the maps and collect shit to my stash, right?

onyx wraith
#

Play scav as often as they are open yeah

bold kernel
#

tbh the game its self is really good. but the hardest part is learning maps

onyx wraith
#

Map knowledge is almost EVERYTHING

bold kernel
#

kwas do u know who pestily is?

robust birch
#

could you explain it more about SCAVs being open? I thought you just select scav and it puts you into random match

#

nah i have no clue

bold kernel
#

ok when u get the chance

#

look him up on yt

onyx wraith
#

I have a feeling if you are generally good at FPS games, you're not gonna struggle as much as you normally would getting into this game, didn't take me all that long either

bold kernel
#

he does a series where he shows how and what to do

#

"pestily raid series"

robust birch
#

I see

#

nice moustache

bold kernel
#

i believe theres 60 episodes

onyx wraith
#

Scav has a 20 minute cooldown after you finish a run as one, because it's literally only risk-free, free money

bold kernel
#

15

#

15 min*

#

Yea it takes a bit to learn the maps since you can be the best at combat, but if someone knows some good spots to get angles on you are going to have a rough time

onyx wraith
#

If you have intelligence center level 2, no?

bold kernel
#

no

onyx wraith
#

Okay well shows how much I scav, thanks for correcting

robust birch
#

So it's best for me to finish a raid as scav and watch a single episode of trailer park boys, then repeat until im good enough to play PMC?

bold kernel
#

no

onyx wraith
#

If you feel ballsy, you can also do PMC once your scav is on CD

bold kernel
#

u wanna play ur pmc

#

while scav is on cd

robust birch
#

but dem chads will rape me

bold kernel
#

That is what I do, hell worse case you can also do what I do too if you get low on cash, do the mighty hatchet run

#

no

#

dont listen to jester

elfin pendant
bold kernel
#

thats not how u get good

#

Nothing makes you feel more like a chad then taking out a PMC stealing his loadout to kill others and not about getting good lol it is about having fun

onyx wraith
#

Yeah never take advice from anyone that tell you to not even bring a pistol, they have bad advice 100% of the time

bold kernel
#

Play it how you want, and you can bring a pistol, I just like the extra challenge

robust birch
#

wait a second, is mighty hatcher community term or i dont understand it becouse im not native english?

bold kernel
#

no

onyx wraith
#

There's no challenge in risking absolutely nothing on hatchet running

bold kernel
#

hatchet runners

#

are losers

#

Ehh unless you are trying to stay alive and get a few kills

spark hawk
#

I hatched run for quest that require just grabbing or putting something some where

bold kernel
#

I mean that is what it is best to just do, but anyway I will say listen to everyone, everyone has their own system, the chads will say learn the combat and kill everyone, the rats will say go for the loot and focus on cash

#

It all depends on what ya want to do

onyx wraith
#

Hatchet running means you bring absolutely no gear into the raid, so you're just a sitting duck and you just try to scrape together like 1 or 2 high value items before you die with no chance to defend yourself @robust birch

#

If you like being a defenceless beta male, that's how you would play. Or you could take a pistol at minimum and try to at least come up fat

bold kernel
#

I can tell Spits here is a chad lol just from that statement

onyx wraith
#

I just like having a chance to fight back

robust birch
#

So if you're a hatcher runner, you just loot items like in battle royale games (chill, i dont think eft has anything to do with BRs), or kill scavs somehow? I thought there is no loot and only SCAVs carry 'free items', but if people go no gear, how would they kill anything or anyone?

bold kernel
#

Everyone has their little box

#

You toss items in that

onyx wraith
#

You can put a couple items into your "secure container" and whatever you have in there as you die, you get to keep

bold kernel
#

Again I can agree with Spits, it is a easy way to just die all the time, but I have seen Pestily do the zero to hero runs and I thought it looked like fun

onyx wraith
#

Most people don't hatchet run to try getting a gun and then kill people, they run STRAIGHT for the high value loot area, shove one high value loot item into their container and then they are happy with death

bold kernel
#

So when I do it, I actually try to grab a gun so I learned the weapon cache locations and actually try to get kills with what I find

robust birch
#

You didn't get me or i didn't asked the question correct enough

bold kernel
#

No no your alpha container

#

You see that on your character right?

robust birch
#

If someone deploy with nothing, just fists, how would anyone kill a SCAV with that?

bold kernel
#

You should have a knife they give ya

robust birch
#

One option is grabbing the loot that spawned

onyx wraith
#

You can technically hit the scavs in the head with your knife and kill them yeah.

robust birch
#

but i thought there is no loot like on the ground

bold kernel
#

Or you can buy a axe or whatever and yea, I use my hatchet to kill a scav from time to time

onyx wraith
#

Chances are they'll shoot out every limb you have though

nova trellis
#

someone pls help i keep dying as a pmc and im low on guns

bold kernel
#

Ehh I have found the scavs get pretty dumb if you get right in their face and sort of keep moving along their side, they don't spin quick enough

onyx wraith
#

Some specific rooms on certain maps have gun spawns @robust birch , and you can find like half-full guns in some containers scattered around the maps

bold kernel
#

So I just smack their head till they die, grab their gear and then go about to fight more

#

Or if you are close enough to one of those weapon crates I run for that instead, it depends on map knowledge

robust birch
#

Okay, thank you guys. But well @bold kernel you're talking about tricking SCAVs like they would be bots. So, there is a raid and there are both SCAVs controlled by ai and by players, right?

upbeat agate
#

Hello

onyx wraith
#

Ye you have AI scavs and then player controlled scavs. You will learn the difference and who's who pretty quickly by the way they act

bold kernel
#

Yep, in the raid some of the Scavs are player controller and others are controlled by the AI

naive tulip
#

is anyone else getting long loading times like 5m-15m+ ?

bold kernel
#

Yea, player scavs usually run around for loot, the AI scavs will run around along certain paths

robust birch
#

Yeah i saw youtubers killing people acting like bots or not moving at all. I guess those were bot scavs

upbeat agate
#

I just bought this game and am extremely new. Been playing for about two hours now and im okay at combat but i have no clue where anything is extraction wise. I also dont have anyone else to play wiht because the guy who told me to buy it bailed on me and said he didnt like the game. I think its pretty fun so far but dont know what do to to get better besides learning the map

naive tulip
#

moose if you want a guide I can for sure help 😄

bold kernel
#

You have to learn the map moose, I would use offline mode and check out the wiki they have all the maps

#

And you can always find a Sherpa, they are vet players who will help ya out

#

Or most of the people here are pretty chill, we all love murdering one another on the raids, but everyone seems fine after to help out ya out

flat cipher
#

The game is 20% skill, 50% map knowledge, and 30% game experience

naive tulip

and dont forget the tetris aspect 🙂

robust birch
#

What guys exactly mean by map knowledge? I know you couldn't see everything on a topo map, but there is something like map that shows up when u press a key right?

flat cipher
#

There is, but theyre shit

#

theyre like the kinda maps you'd be given at a theme park

naive tulip
#

its all mental or use wikia for a map

flat cipher
#

if you have another monitor, use the wiki maps

#

factory and labs though, theyre all just experience

#

i've never once looked at a labs map but i know it like the back of my hand

bold kernel
#

Yea, check out the wiki, but once you learn the maps also by personal experience

naive tulip
#

I have yet to go to labs is it rather easy to learn?

flat cipher
#

layout yes, gameplay no

#

it's got a lot of hackers, and very well geared guys

#

map knowledge is EXTREMELY important

#

theres like 3/4 places you can be quickly flanked from in pretty much every corner of the map

#

but i wouldnt worry about it, not worth going there anyway

robust birch
#

so there is in-game map and wiki map, the wiki is better

#

and im kinda screwed without second monitor, that's it?

flat cipher
#

Phone, tablet

#

Even print that shit out

#

Better than nothing

#

Or, run a map offline with no scavs and just tab out, make mental notes as you run around

robust birch
#

this one?

flat cipher
#

Remember landmarks, where things are in relation to em

#

Ya

bold kernel
#

Customs is a good one for new people

robust birch
#

yeah fine, i could run it on phone

bold kernel
#

It is the map I learned on after I left factory

flat cipher
#

You'll be like, oh I'm by big red, and there are smokestack over there, which is the centre of the map

bold kernel
#

I would say shoreline next since it has more loot ( at least how I feel ) and more on that

flat cipher
#

It does but

#

No reason to be there, quest wise

#

Just bash out as many quests as you can as quickly as you can

bold kernel
#

Yep, it helps level up your PMC

flat cipher
#

Getting to level 10 makes the game easy mode

Well, my god. You guys helped me out more than any of all those shit youtube videos did. Could you just tell me what's up with quests? After i know that i think i can finally buy the game with no excuses

flat cipher
#

What's up with quests in what way

bold kernel
#

I mean the quests are from the trader's, they are called tasks though

flat cipher
#

Yt vids are very helpful once you have some idea of what's going on

robust birch
#

Umm, no idea what i want to know Harry, i don't even know how quests would fit in this game type and any video youtube didn't mentioned them

bold kernel
#

Some are simple as "Kill the scavs" in a certain area, and sometimes you are collecting certain loot or picking up

robust birch
#

That's understandable

flat cipher
#

Yeah it's just like, go here, get an item and survive/place it somewhere, kill some scavs, mark a location, find x items, kill x scav boss etc

#

Kill x pmc with x gun

robust birch
#

What are the rewards? Harry mentonioned the game will be on easy mode once i get 10 level. So they're like XP or cash?

bold kernel
#

Yea pretty much

flat cipher
#

And some silly quests like killing pmcs while under the effects of a stun

#

It's xp, you unlock flea at level 10

#

Which is the player market

#

So you can technically get whatever you want if you want can afford it

#

If you can *

robust birch
#

Yeah so until 10 level money is kinda useless, till 10 level i just get items from scav or map loot

#

okay that's clear

flat cipher
#

And some stuff from traders, but you also level them by doing quests and buying or selling to them

#

So that'll happen regardless

robust birch
#

SCAV boss is just a scav to kill with extremely rewarding loot or he's a trader?

#

this dealmaker name is confusing

#

that's his name or it says that he's a trader?

flat cipher
#

It's part of a quest

#

You have to go kill each one eventually

#

But that's much later on

#

That boss is reshala

elfin pendant
#

is it normal for my fps on shoreline to go from 120 fps when im in the woods part to 80 at the resort?

flat cipher
#

They have more hp, nice gear, and some guards

#

They'll only sometimes spawn, and they have several spawns

#

@elfin pendant I mean it's still above 60

elfin pendant
#

yeah but 80 to 120 is a big difference

robust birch
#

Well okay thank you for all the answers, im just going to buy the game now

bold kernel
#

Of course man and don't worry if you are a bit not sure about anything, they got Sherpa's that can help you out or some other vets who don't mind helping ya out

flat cipher
#

its bugged btw

elfin pendant
#

yeah bugged for me too

edgy hatch
#

which helmet should i wear

#

only one i feel protected with is altyn

#

but i wanted to try better hearing,with headphones as well

amber helm
#

air frame with razors

bold kernel
#

Depends how much cash you have too

edgy hatch
#

well i thought something around altyn price range

#

air frame comes out 50k more expensive if i am not wrong

#

with the additional thing

bold kernel
#

I will say starting loadout the helmet from ragman lvl 1 is pretty nice

#

I use it if i am running it since it is cheap and if you find something better, you can just toss it without any worry

edgy hatch
#

i usually run the 6b helmet when regular running

#

but if i go more expensive usually it's altyn

flat cipher
#

TC800 with a shield

onyx wraith
#

Ratnik helm, the name just fits so well to the userbase

bold kernel
#

I guess I should ask what you are doing too, are you looking for combat or just something to wear so you don't get your head shot off

edgy hatch
#

mostly customs/reserve,that's for pvp i guess

flat cipher
#

I'd personally never ever wear an altyn or similar, jsut cause i like being able to hear further than 5 metres

edgy hatch
#

yeah i thought about that and that's why i want to try running with better sound

lapis mauve
#

i was looting a body while wearing altyn once. a pistoling snuck up on me and started unloading into my head. i stopped looting and killed him. was kinda funny

#

but he got to about 3 feet away and i didnt hear him

edgy hatch
#

what's the difference between tc800 and airframe ? They seem almost the same to me

onyx wraith
#

Aiframe have the chops for ear protection and additional face protection

lapis mauve
#

airframe can have ears and chops. different penalties probably

#

price of course

whole ocean
#

I recently got a KATT from Fence for a melee weapon and was wondering if players are able to loot melee weapons. I see axes hidden from looting as well as the ER so does the KATT hide or not?

lapis mauve
#

yes, you can't loot melee weapons from players

#

would be kinda sad to have your 6 mil ice pick get looted

spark hawk
#

Only like 5 mill now

lapis mauve
#

i've not checked the price for a while

sleek abyss
#

anyone wanna help me run some quests?

celest condor
#

You can loot melee weapons off scavs. They removed the ability to loot melee weapons when other melee weapons like the sword were introduced. In the golden days you could loot melee weapons, but the looted melee weapon was not lost.
So you can imagine how easy it was to duplicate melee weapons. At that time it was not an issue though since Fence was the only one buying them and he bought them for essentially nothing, and flea market did not exist.

robust birch
#

Yo, im just starting my adventure with Tarkov and installing it right now. Do you guys recommend any must-have things to do in order to get the best experience?

celest condor

this ^^

#

bold kernel
#

Holy hell the Adar is a piece of shit xD

lapis mauve
#

depends on how you mod it

bold kernel
#

How I just grabbed the base one out of skier to try it out

lapis mauve
#

its identical to m4 pretty much just semi only

bold kernel
#

And legit get in a firefight with a scav and I am just throwing rounds into him and he is just still going

#

I'll stick with the sks thanks xD

lapis mauve
#

most stock guns are fairly bad

robust birch
#

@bold kernel Just played my first offline match

bold kernel
#

One shot with hell even the basic sks and you could drop them

#

And how did it go kwas?

lapis mauve
#

although i will agree the damage is low

robust birch
#

I got heart attack becouse my game was too loud and SCAV shooted just behind me

#

Then i was figuring out how to search his body until other SCAV killed me

#

that's how it went lmao

bold kernel
#

Yea that is just my only point RC, literally if I have to put a half a mag into a simple scav

#

Then nah

#

I'll go with what works and yea that happens xD

#

God now I have to go back to customs to get those stupid docs xD going to get a proper loadout this time, ADAR is staying in the trash

robust birch
#

I also ran msi afterburner to check my fps and my cpu and gpu utilization was 50% for both

#

Do i need to change my settings or that's just how things are?

spark hawk
#

Why are ledx so expensive

lapis mauve
#

they are hard to get

#

and needed for expensive things

onyx wraith
#

Used for expensive barters

spark hawk
#

Don’t think that one has safe room and scav camp extracts tho

dire rock
#

honestly most of the interchange maps suck best way to learn it is to play it

shadow walrus
#

there is a good one

dire rock

its just the way the map is designed is why it is difficult to learn from a map theres too many things to learn from a map

#

Anyone wanna help me with factory?

dark hound
#

is there a point where ill get a good sense of how much noise i make? i constantly find myself afraid of moving around and it gets me killed everytime i try to do quests that require me to kill or go to heated areas, which also explains why im only level 13 and have a stash worth easily over 10 mil with all traders lv 1 except for therapist

mint plinth
#

Also how do I keep not getting killed because most of the time I die, and I have to resort to scav runs to avoid dying. I can't level nor do my quests. Anybody give me some tips on this?

bold kernel
#

im not new to tarkov im just bad i know the basics of the game i just cant make money if aanyone is willing to do some runs with me and tell me what im doing wrong and help me get better i would appreciate it

supple quest
#

A good way to make money, is to invest money into shoreline keys. Each run you do, you will bring back easily 400k +, and if you get lucky, you can get over 50 million (If you get red keycard)

bold kernel
#

i dont have the money to buy those

#

i saw a video on it

#

its like 1.3 mil

elfin pendant
#

i had about 110 fps earlier today after someone told me to change my nvidia resolution to 1080p as well as the ingame res to 1080p, but now im back to 80

#

why did this happen?

supple quest
#

The higher resolution you go, the lower your fps will be

#

i would recommend switching back to your original resolution

#

@elfin pendant

bold kernel
#

Don't listen to that

#

If you have no money do scav runs

#

Don't be afraid to die, your noise matters, but only if you hear someone else

naive tulip
#

why is this quest so damn hard?

#

I cant do postman pat. I literally run past a player not because I dont have ammo but because I just want to do this quest and they kill me I literally only have a pistol

onyx wraith
#

Of course they'll kill you, this game doesn't have team deathmatch

#

You gotta shoot or be shot

naive tulip
#

maybe its just me I dont know, I just cant do the quest

#

even if i shoot its like it never kills a player it might be that potato aim

onyx wraith
#

Or weak ammo that don't penetrate armor

#

Refer to https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics#Armor_and_Penetration when choosing which ammo you want to bring

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

I had lugers last time on a guy with broken armor when he was already hit with 20-25 sp6's

#

and I hit him an additional 4 times and he still didnt die

onyx wraith
#

He'd be long dead with 20 SP-6, it takes SP-6 like 8-10 shots to kill anyone through any armor granted you only hit their Thorax

naive tulip
#

maybe a glitch or a hacker?

onyx wraith
#

Nope, I assume you just missed most the shots or you hit his arms/legs a lot

naive tulip
#

maybe I am not sure, the only guy showed 23 hits

bold kernel

Don't worry about spits soo much

He only understands the chad mentality xD

I was trying to tell him a bit about how hitting different limbs will leave people alive, but you can come and discredit anything I say without offering any help all you want, just because you're sad I shit on your hatchling playstyle. Crying won't get you anywhere, though.
