Hello. Can you still turn off the parking alarm in labs?

hidden mortar
#

It's a learning process, Pink. A guy with nothing but an iron sighted mosin with level 1 prapor rounds can dink on a chad

novel pendant
#

if so, what key?

hidden mortar
#

Yellow keycard

#

I think

#

Confirmed yellow keycard. But it won't stop raiders spawning

spark hawk
#

Wipe will@come with the 12.6 patch

worn coyote
#

@subtle wing like my friend said, this game is not for you if you're afraid of losing loot

#

or losing raids

#

my other friend left eft because he said "i'm afraid of losing my loot"

autumn rivet
bold latch
#

What map??

autumn rivet
#

Interchange

#

once again spawned in late, tried to take it slow moving up, got sniped right before I got to entrance to the Oli side of the mall

subtle wing
#

I was afraid at one point, slowly over coming that. The issue Im having is, I drop in fully decked out and still get melted. I believe I hit a dude a few times with SNB from 80 yards and he tanked the rounds it seems like. Dude was even able to lay prone and reload lol. Doesnt seem like Im able to learn the gun fights if Im dead in 5 seconds of the fight starting

worn coyote
#

you can see damage you've done after your death

#

or at the end of the raid

#

and like i said, if you're afraid of losing loot, one day you'll quit playing eft

autumn rivet
#

@subtle wing I think I heard something about an arena in the next big patch where you can go in and just PVP without losing loot if I recall correctly

#

beef up on those combat skills that most of us don't have lol

subtle wing
#

I heard its a while off, but it would be nice

autumn rivet
#

I've been trying for almost 3 hours to get Fuel out of interchange and have yet to extract today -_-

hidden mortar
#

Why do it that way? Just go offline Factory, insane AI with horde mode and marked and cursed

subtle wing
#

yeah Im just running scavs right now lost too much money lo

autumn rivet
#

@hidden mortar I'm just saying they were planning to add that from what I heard. Killing AI is different from players. Players do some whacky ass shit

hidden mortar
#

No doubt. But getting your reflexes up to dink them quicker is great with no risk

autumn rivet
#

It's never just one guy, and when it comes to the second guy, of course he'll tank 3 rounds of 7N1 without any armor on, no problem.

bold kernel
#

I am not actually seeing you hit him besides the first shot though to be fair

autumn rivet
#

in the raid end stats screen, I had 5 hit count

hidden mortar
#

He did hit him though two were arms by the look of it

frank beacon
#

not hitting his thorax

bold kernel
#

Also a good point

autumn rivet
#

I thought bullets go through the arm, I've definitely lost arms and thorax to a sniper shot before.

frank beacon
#

iirc it loses some damage if it does

autumn rivet
#

Whelp

olive turret
#

why did you run up there right away?

autumn rivet
#

I only saw and heard the one guy, it wasnt until I was at the van that I heard the other guy shuffle

#

I watched and listened for a bit before engaging the first guy, he walked around the van a bit, I was fairly sure he was alone

#

obviously he wasnt

celest condor
#

I thought bullets go through the arm, I've definitely lost arms and thorax to a sniper shot before.
@autumn rivet no guarantee that they go through limbs. They certainly can though. Far as I know penetration is a little weird in the game. I have heard rumours about a full ballistics re work though which will hopefully fix some penetration and bullet fragmentation issues.

raven gazelle
#

what level does ur therapist need to be to trade tetriz

olive turret
#

Thats a mechanic trade no?

raven gazelle
#

oh ok

#

ye it is thanks

half oriole
#

does any one know the map customs ??

#

i dont know where the extract is

desert hull
#

Look up extract maps

#

Compare to your current landmarks

hexed sky
#

ugh, that feeling when you're almost certain you ain't getting your insured stuff back cause you got killed by a player scav

frank beacon
#

ugh that feeling when you're certain you aint getting your insured stuff back because you got killed

#

even if i die to boss or ai someone nabs my shit

hexed sky
#

i shy away from the contested zones most times, so i'm fairly used to getting my stuff back as long as it's from ai

mellow juniper
#

That feeling when you're certain you wont get insurance back because dude says he's dropping your stuff, but then doesn't drop it, and you know it because he's streaming, lul

strong barn
frank beacon
#

that feeling when you dont stream for that very reason

hexed sky
#

i forgot to put my freshly-crafted mp5 off of single fire, and totally hurf-durfed when this guy came through the door

#

lesson lernt

strong barn
#

-pew-

hexed sky
#

it's like $800-1000 worth of kit though, so that hurts

strong barn
#

working the corners of tarkov city; I make that in a night 😂

hexed sky
#

if i bring back a lucky haul i can probably clear the 120k roubles for that

#

i should probably still consider how many successful runs i had off that same gun before i lost it, i'm sure i've profited overall

#

of course maybe the scav sees i'm level 13 and is like oh ick yeah

desert hull
#

@hexed sky MP5 bad

#

Fun granted, but bad

hexed sky
#

works fine for me when i don't leave it on semi

desert hull
#

You just havent ran into real Chad's yet

hexed sky
#

i intentionally avoid real chads

#

mp5's are cheap for me atm

desert hull
#

Wait until you magdump someone with 25+ hits and they take it all in stride

naive atlas
#

mp5 tickles real armor

hexed sky
#

i am aware, i'm level 13

#

works fine on scavs with ❤️

#

with < 3

desert hull
#

That means you have access to flea

#

Where you can buy better guns

#

Listen homes, you do you right, just remember that you are fighting a uphill battle using pistol caliber guns

#

For better or worse

hexed sky
#

for the moment i get the starter weapon for basically free

#

so i'm going with it with the understanding smg's ain't gonna work most places

#

i've got a basic AKM build i use also, and hopefully about to progress into 74's

#

just trying this out for the moment, it seems well enough in village and pier

muted forum
#

anyone looking to have players to squad with

#

?

hexed sky
#

but your point is well-taken and i know what you're saying

harsh pebble
#

@muted forum you down for woods?

muted forum
#

the woods gives me the willies

#

I'm looking to get a network of people to play with. Need to have a brain and good coms. Hard to find people in this game

#

I usually run interchange, labs and reserves

wheat depot
#

How long until server wipe? Havent played in forever but thinking about trying again

muted forum
#

in 2 patches time

#

major changes cominh

wheat depot
#

Ah sweet. Probably the best time to get back in then. Get warmed up for fresh server

muted forum
#

if your into self torture then by all means jump back in

hexed sky
#

sounds like i am totally deaf when i play the scav without a headset

muted forum
#

may have a helmut on which muffles sound

gloomy bane
#

Are there any good sniper scopes that work well with night vision?

magic urchin
#

Woods anyone?

pure girder
#

anyone wanna do monet runs

magic urchin
#

@pure girder what map

bold kernel
#

@pure girder, Nver good to do money runs together. Better solo

pure girder
#

untrue

magic urchin
#

Depends where your going @bold kernel

pure girder
#

i can get ez 2m

#

spilt 1m each

desert hull
#

where are you getting an "ez 2m"

magic urchin
#

Shoreline is good for 2 people money runs

hidden mortar
#

@gloomy bane NVG's stop you seeing through most any scopes

desert hull
#

nah you can definitely still see through most analog scopes

#

just no digital ones

hidden mortar
#

Right. It'd thermals that stop you seeing through them

pure girder
#

@desert hull Ledx Farms

magic urchin
#

@pure girder what map tho

desert hull
#

ledx farms are pretty virgin tho

#

but yeah I suppose if you are extremely lucky you can get 2m

#

definitely not the average run

pure girder
#

i keep getting a ledx each run

#

if im lucky 3-4

magic urchin
#

What map

desert hull
#

then why do you need to do money runs like a poorboy

#

just go pvp now

magic urchin
#

But anyone want to play woods

#

Is 10 man labs scummy

verbal summit
#

??

desert hull
#

10 man labs isnt a thing so

verbal summit
#

^

magic urchin
#

Well I’m in a discord where people do it 2 5 mans queue at the same time

verbal summit
#

i mean highly unlikely you get into the same game

#

unless its like really late

#

then maybe you have a chance

magic urchin
#

They do it at night

verbal summit
#

idk do it if you want dont see the point

#

ez loot i guess

desert hull
#

@magic urchin then yes, extremely scummy and unintended

muted forum
#

hey when you are a rat like me you take the loot however you can get it

#

who is doing money runs?

spark hawk
#

Every run is a money run

muted forum
#

most of mine end in death

spark hawk
#

Same and that’s okay😊

#

Guess mine mostly end with server disconnect cause I have 3000 ping with my backwoods internet

strong jolt
#

does shturman spawn in at the beginning of the riad?

#

raid*

small berry
#

he does yes @strong jolt

strong jolt
#

thanks

#

does he spawn most raids?

tepid fossil
#

There’s a chance

long haven
#

factory pvp, igonik or bs?

pure girder
#

Captain Anton

cloud quarry
#

bs is cheaper

#

and works really good

hexed sky
#

does anyone have access to lvl 3 skier and can tell me the current exchange rate of roubles to euros?

bold kernel
#

Hold on

#

Ahh I'm a lvl away from 3 never mind sorry mate

#

Thought i had 3

hexed sky
#

No worries, thanks for checking

#

My guess is something like 140:1 but not sure

#

Actually I think I can trick the flea market into showing me

bold kernel
#

Oooh yea it should so him as a vendor even if you dont' have the level it will just be blacked out

hexed sky
#

yep, 130:1

bold kernel
#

Or greyed out so you can't pick it

hexed sky
#

found it that way

#

thanks muchly 🙂

bold kernel
#

No worries glad you found it

hexed sky
#

Crafting my first magazine case

#

Little moments

#

Are euros only useful for shit like glock parts?

#

Or does the game have like other Austrian shit in here

bold kernel
#

The mechanic has a lot of stuff to buy for euros

#

Nevermind he doesn't have a lot xD I am guessing more for flea market then

hexed sky
#

ok i won't stress too much about it then, it would otherwise be a neat way to level up skier but it's way past my current level anyhow

blissful crypt
#

Does anyone have an open space in a party that I could join?

I'm 9 days in an level 11 still learning the game but I've been grindin

bold kernel
subtle wing
#

Cliff decent is the only pmc only extract on reserve correct?

spark marsh
#

Sorry to ping, i misread ur question

flat cipher
#

No, you can extract scav lands but that requires a friendly pscav, also bunker/train

#

or manhole, but you cant bring a bag for that

azure lily
#

I don't have the cash for M995, what should I use instead? Going into labs.

inner sentinel
#

hey, is the SKS with PS ammo viable for mid-gear runs on say customs?

frail sky
#

So uh, i just restarted my account and i need some help actually getting better because the reason why i restarted was because i was at a hold and couldn't do anything

inner sentinel
#

I've found out using cheap headphones helps a ton

frail sky
#

A homie, had no rouble 😦

inner sentinel
#

also,don't sprint everywhere

frail sky
#

roubles*

#

yea i've been doing that and it hasnt really been going well

inner sentinel
#

if you have problems with recoild ditch using 7x39 weapons

#

try the AK-105 with a rubber pad

#

or ak-74N

#

SKS is pretty decent,mosin

#

always lsiten before you go into a new area

#

if you're gonna fight,might as well be cocky-don't just camp,try to flank and maneuver,stress is normal but once I stopped getting stress paralyzed I started winning gunfights

#

today i managed to win a 2v1 cause I rushed a chad with a scav run adar and blew his legs off

frail sky
#

I never use VSS because I cant afford it, I never use SKS because they're annoying, and I mainly use AK-74N, i had a budget build before i restarted

inner sentinel
#

I recommend rubber pads

frail sky
#

that was i use

inner sentinel
#

VSS is godlike but it's gonna get nerfed

frail sky
#

I have major gear fear

#

because Im never in the mils

inner sentinel
#

me too,but that goes away with practice

frail sky
#

always less than 500K

inner sentinel
#

if you want to cheesely get a shitload of money

#

and safely

#

learn stash locations on outside of interchange and do those

#

spawn in,run through all the outside stashes,avoid places like powestation and you should be 100-200k in each raid

#

with little risk

#

just watch out near exits and exfils

frail sky
#

alright

inner sentinel
#

also wipe is coming in a month or so don't get too attached to your stuff

#

aif you hear scavs screaming ,not chatting that means they see someone

#

if you kill a player,always wait a minute before going to loot him

#

duos are common

frail sky
#

well, yea I've been playing since late February

inner sentinel
#

explore maps and try out recoil in offline mode

#

hope I helped a tad

frail sky
#

yea i'll try

void saffron
#

whats a good crafting

#

for profit

magic urchin
#

This shit makes me so mad

#

Every time I get a labs keycard I die

somber thunder
#

well stop it

magic urchin
#

Yeah sure it’s that easy

somber thunder
#

reg labs keycards aren't anything to get mad over man,you can make the 150k-200k roubles ez

magic urchin
#

But I also had morphine and a resort key

somber thunder
#

as a scav?

magic urchin
#

Yes

somber thunder
#

oh then you didnt really lose anything and now you can take how you died and learn from it i guess.resort keys are fairly cheap/easy to get too

bold latch
#

When it says must kill scavs without armor does that mean armored tact rigs as well?

somber thunder
#

yes

fiery anvil
#

Yeah exactly

dire rock
#

dont believe that can happen

#

was your armor 100% durability?

#

well theres not a reliable chance

#

a 9mm can pen tier 6 if your lucky enough

#

but either you got shot more than once , your armor wasnt full, or someone got lucky

#

since you were on reserve could it have been one of the mounted guns?

#

or GL

#

only other thing i can think of is ASH-12 ps12b

#

idk i dont play reserve

#

ash-12 has like a 45% pen chance so maybe

lapis mauve
#

Also could have been a frag

flat cipher
#

ash12 can one tap if it pens

#

it does over 100 flesh and has very good pen

twin mantle
#

So, what are the best Reserve keys?

magic urchin
#

I found RB-VO and San213

#

I need people to play with. I'm lvl 4 and everytime I join a squad through lobby one guy decides turn on the rest of us

I snagged an atlyn helmet with visor and some good headphones (Like the rat I am) and want to use them for my upcoming labs raid. But if I run atlyn I cant use headphones and if I run headphones I dont have a face protector. Is there another option and if not which is better?

naive atlas
#

It's better to be naked with headphones than have altyn

spark marsh
#

Personally I love the atlyn for dorms and such. I find that in labs, people seem to run best ammo ( high pen) and they just rip you to pieces

#

At least in my experience, I tend to use them more on areas where you expect people to be running lower tier ammo. To really capitalize on its protection

slim urchin

SOMEONE TEACH ME

polar spoke

How to dougy?

polar spoke

was a actor

hexed sky
#

holy shit, $7 per bullet for 9x19 AP 6.3?

#

why even bother firing pistols or SMGs when you could buy a bunch of AKMs for the cost of a few magazines of 6.3

#

sounds like chad ammo to me

celest condor
#

762x39 BP is still more expensive though.

somber thunder
#

just get an mp9 and some rip and shoot their legs ez kills

hexed sky

heh leg meta

am i the only one who gets a kick out of using the shitter to turn a bunch of metal and fuel into a magazine case?

i sorta like the vepr hunter but wouldnt it be a better idea to just run a fal semi auto basically make it a better version ya ?

#

can u do labs in offline mode ?

spark marsh
#

yep

polar spoke
#

does it consume the card ?

spark marsh
#

you just need to have a keycard on your person. It is not used if you go offline

Anyone wanna run a duo

#

@spark marsh So I run headphones with say exfil and a respirator. Is there a helmet with a visor that allows headphones?

spark marsh
#

I personally don't use helmets, personally

whole ocean
#

So a one tap to the head and you are dropped?

spark marsh
#

id run this if ur using face sheld/ earwear

whole ocean
#

what class is it?

flat cipher
#

3 but its cheap and gets the same faceshield as tc800 and airframe

spark marsh
#

and yea, I almost never run helmets since people are using high pen rounds anyway.

#

unless I steal one off a body,

raven gazelle
#

i usually just put on an ssh

whole ocean
#

what visor is compatible with the helmet?

spark marsh
whole ocean
#

ok thanks hopefully it saves me on Labs!

hexed sky
#

naturally i'd get cranked by a level 45 with night vision when i finally found a damned lion

#

that's just utterly frustrating and ain't shit you can do about it when some chad wants to spend the entire shoreline match sniping the main drag

#

maybe he'll have mercy on my soul when he sees my level, and the tarkov angels will smile upon me

inner sentinel
#

Anyone else fucking panic when get shot at from an unexpected angle and die cause you can't shoot for shit with shaky hands

hexed sky
#

yeah, that, and when all i seem to get are matches where shitters do nothing but camp behind a corner 20 minutes into the match

inner sentinel
tropic shore
#

hey fam wahts the sherpa waiting room for?

hexed sky
#

both startle the piss out of me

inner sentinel
#

Suprisingly I don't find many campers,maybe cause I main customs

hexed sky
#

i've had some pretty successful raids (read: i survived) for the last week on shoreline and having reasonably fair pvp encounters, tonight i'm three in a row on stupidass deaths because someone's been camping behind a corner near where he spawned and another dude just decided to night vision camp the entire street to tunnels

inner sentinel
#

My advice would be to take a break for today

hexed sky
#

i can feel my inner whiner coming out, heh

inner sentinel
#

Game's pacing is gonna be camper-producing,as much as fucking infuriating it is to get kneecapped by some rat boi playing vietnam war simulator 2020 with an sks

#

totally not my playstyle on reserve

hexed sky
#

it sucks because you have to acknowledge just about any playstyle is a legitimate playstyle

inner sentinel
#

Yes

hexed sky
#

but if you spend every raid sneaking around anticipating a camper around every corner you'll either starve to death or not get anything done

inner sentinel
#

I recommend cheap headphones like comtacs

hexed sky
#

i use whatever ones ragman sells, and i like them a ton, huge difference even on cheapies

inner sentinel
#

I heard a exit camper on factory today cause he chambered a bullet

#

Fucker got nae nae's

#

I got the habit of always taking nades on pmc runs

#

Cheap and useful

hexed sky
#

this most recent dude just taught me you can apparently shoot through the doors at the pier in shoreline

inner sentinel
#

Huh,I've never managed to extract as a PMC on shoreline

hexed sky
#

i'll have to investigate that further, but the glass doors in the pier building aren't broken but he can shoot through them

inner sentinel
#

I have bad juju on that map

hexed sky
#

so if those glass doors can be shot through without already being broken and without the glass breaking that'd be confusing, i'll check next time i am at pier

wind coral
#

Can Scav suddenly spawn in some where in the map and instantly roar and headshot me, I just experience something like that

hexed sky
#

i think when player scavs spawn there are many random points for them and yeah, from what i have seen, sometimes it happens to be very near you

#

sorry man

#

that's also a shitty way to go

trail mulch
#

what map is best to start on

wind coral
#

i dont think that is a player scav, because i plan to go for custom delivery from the past, and stright ahead to big red in 1 minutes, and just dead in the way when i inside the building, and something suddenly appear infront of me, the rest is in the grave

#

seems a lot to learn for me

whole ocean
#

@trail mulch learn customs as the first tasks are on that map

trail mulch
#

ok

#

thanks

where is zb 1012 located on customs? i have used every extract on the map except that one

its not a guaranteed extract btw

hard hazel
#

am brand new, is there no like range or somewhere to test things, or do i have to go in a raid to do anything? I dont want to risk my only rifle just to check my graphics settings

somber thunder
#

You can do an offline raid

hard hazel
#

are those just against scavs?

hushed furnace
#

you can decide to have scavs active or not, its entirly offline so you wont lose or gain anything

polar spoke
#

@hard hazel ya them offline runs will be a lifesaver when your looking to learn stuff on maps like cache stashes and such

hexed sky
#

can you tell whether or not a pack of sugar is full when you buy it from the flea market?

hard hazel
#

where would i start one? i dont see an option for that

hexed sky

tried inspecting, doesnt seem to indicate anything like how inspecting fuel does

after you choose a map

#

it gives u a option to tick offline mode

@fervent scroll thats really a preference thing imo i like the weaver on smg

New to the game so I haven’t seen or used any sight yet

if you run scavs runs you will pick up a lot of sights on the wepons the give you

olive turret
#

anyone have tips for shooter born in heaven interchange i legit see no one outside for several raids while camping emercom

exotic jungle
#

you're looking for fights in interchange?

whole ocean
#

I was wondering what charging handles do

olive turret
#

looking for long distance fights for 100m hs i dont see anyone all raid going emercom

exotic jungle
#

100m isn't that far so you're not forced to camp exits

manic mist
#

I think I put it in the wrong chat earlier but if I want to contact a group or someone to help a new player do i just @ a sherpa?

olive turret
#

no but its suppose to be one of the more reliable areas that i can distance and that people are suppose to go

exotic jungle
#

try to roam between camping spots

#

for instance when you camp emercom

#

you can also check for the auchan tunnel

#

there's a dynamic behind interchange

olive turret
#

dude says its hot up there but the past 8 raids ive seen no one at that spot or near emercom

exotic jungle
#

maybe you don't check the right lanes

hexed sky
#

is there a faster way to change your weapon to a stored preset besides editing it and selecting "open" and searching for it each time by chance?

exotic jungle
#

it's not only emercom

#

it's also the power plant

#

and i forgot to put it but they go through auchan's backstore (hemol)

#

everybody is scared af of snipers when exiting through emercom

#

if u start north u can try the white tower quickly at spawn

hexed sky
#

if you dont mind the two dots vs 1, are the xps3-0 and xps3-2 sights identical in stats and performance? the 3-2 seems cheaper

white forge
#

i just walked too far out on reserve and got killed i didnt know that happened

#

will i get insured stuff back?

olive turret
#

if no one picks up your loot

magic urchin
#

Found my first ledx and first graphics card in the same raid

#

@white forge I think there’s land mines

elfin pendant
#

i just did the math and its more worth to sell the empty fuel cans than to do the magbox craft. is this true or am i missing something?

olive turret
#

@elfin pendant did you account for the taxes put up for selling empty fuel cans

elfin pendant
#

no but you make about 40-50k with the magbox craft and you make 130k selling the 2 empty cans. even with tax its more

olive turret
#

havent done the math before now but going by current market prices its actually worse than how you put it you get 20-25k profit from mag box not including the taxes and 110-120k from 2 empty cans @elfin pendant idk if its always been like this or if wipe has got the market all fucked up

elfin pendant
#

yeah its my first time reaching this point in the game but i think im right, its better to sell the cans

hexed sky
#

Do you get to keep your ammo when you’re using the shooting range?

olive turret
#

yes

hexed sky
#

thanks, also does the matchmaking timer ever give up and just spawn a map or will it go on ad nauseum?

olive turret
#

it will go on for quite a while i dont think it gives

up

alright, thank you again

Anything in it is safe from being looted

hazy prawn

cheesing?

hidden mortar
#

Yup. An example would be

covert sparrow
#

do you have to inusre it?

#

insure

hidden mortar
#

Leaving an axiom cobra mount in your case so that if you run reap-ir you can drag the scope and d-lock onto the mount in your case to secure it. You can't put a thermal in your case otherwise

#

It also turns into into a one slot when it's usually a two slot

hazy prawn
#

ah

hidden mortar
#

No you don't have to insure it Pumpo

covert sparrow

so you get your items back automattically?

what's "the best" ak variant?

tepid fossil
#

M or N

strong jolt
#

aks-74n good?

tepid fossil
#

No

#

It’s okay-ish

#

The aks’s all have kicks

frosty knoll
#

Whats good settings for PostFX

strong jolt
#

ak-74n a good choice then?

#

or do you mean akmn

tepid fossil
#

Yes

#

N is good

#

M too

#

Akm is a good 7.62 gun too

#

Akmn from what I’ve heard is pretty bad

strong jolt
#

ok

reef loom
#

akmn has too much recoil and not enough customization

strong jolt
#

I'm mainly looking for low recoil

#

been using the aks-74n but I never looked into if that was the best choice

#

saw a streamer using it, looked badass, and just kept using it

bold pumice
#

AK-74N is better than AKS-74N

cyan tinsel
#

I don’t like the recoil on the 7.62 and the cost of BP is off putting. I really like most of the AK-74 series. I avoid the AKS unless I’m going to dorms, or factory.

bold pumice
#

If I'm not mistaken AK-74N is the best 5.45 AK

cyan tinsel
#

That sounds right.

strong jolt
#

ok cool I'll give that a shot

bold pumice
#

Personally I like the AKM because BP owns

strong jolt
#

just building a bunch of guns in advance and figured I'd make sure I'm making the best

cyan tinsel
#

You can’t get vertical recoil as low as some of the meta guns, but it’s fine enough in my opinions

tepid fossil
#

74m or n

strong jolt
#

I do have a bunch of BP because I don't run 7.62 often

bold pumice
#

N

strong jolt
#

so maybe I'll make some AKMs as well

bold pumice
#

They are really good in CQC hipfiring with a laser

tepid fossil
#

That and it 2 taps class 4

bold pumice
#

Like dorms, resort, labs

strong jolt
#

yeah I'd probably take them into factory or something

cyan tinsel
#

I have a problem with hip firing.

#

I always try to ADS. And my hip fire accuracy is horrible, not because of the game but because of my own poor aim.

hidden mortar
#

Put a laser sight on, it'll help you with hipfire

tepid fossil
#

^

#

I personally like hip firing with a 60 rounder

#

If I’m using an asval I don’t hip sometimes

cyan tinsel
#

I’m color blind, so the only one I can see is the blue one and I found I was getting spotted by using it

hidden mortar
#

You only really need to turn it on in a situation you know you'll have to CQC in

#

Using it outside is a good way of getting domed

cyan tinsel
#

I’m also just not very good at CQC

bold kernel
#

play agressive

#

new players just freeze and panic

cyan tinsel
#

so it could be a mix of both.

limpid yoke
#

can someone help me with my color settings

cyan tinsel
#

I play aggressive I just play with non-meta gear in places like dorms where, I think this late into the wipe, most everyone is running slicks/vss and shit

tepid fossil
#

#

Market is going crazy

#

Slicks are 400k

cyan tinsel
#

I haven’t played in like a week or so, due to work

Being an essential worker sucks lol

#

I can’t really find a map I like to play on, lol. I enjoyed customs until it became chad land and I couldn’t complete my dorms quests. Now I’m doing shoreline runs down the main road.

It’s always been a chad land

cyan tinsel
#

Then maybe I got really lucky for a long time, ha.

strong jolt
#

bruh try 500k

for slicks

it's nutty

cyan tinsel

But I would be 0 rubles after that

strong jolt
#

seems like everywhere is chad land right now

tepid fossil
#

People think wipes like 2 days away

strong jolt
#

I just did that supressed 12gauge quest and it was rough because everybody was geared

tepid fossil
#

When its like 1 or 2 months away

strong jolt
#

yeah a month ish

#

allegedly

cyan tinsel
#

This is my first wipe. Is this typical for end of wipe for it to become giga-chad and the big backpack boys fucking on the little guys?

tepid fossil
#

Yes and no

strong jolt
#

I'm not sure this is my first wipe too

tepid fossil
#

Some people like to chad late wipe

#

Because late wipe

#

But people who change their play style make mistakes

#

And they and up going back to what their play style was

#

You can tell by how they move

strong jolt
#

I feel like some armor is undervalued cause everybody is buying slicks

#

like redut-m is like 180k

#

and slick is close to 500k

verbal summit
#

redut sucks

strong jolt
#

that seems crazy

verbal summit
#

i rather use a trooper lol

strong jolt
#

cause of the speed penalties?

#

or does it repair shitty or something

strong barn
#

Im using trooper too because it repairs well and has minimal speed penalties

tepid fossil
#

Trooper is crazy good

#

Especially mid wipe

strong barn
#

I often run low gear or no armor so im under 14kg. I can outrun most people overly geared which I prefer too toe-to-toe combat where Im depending on my armor being shot to survive

#

trooper+ulach

tepid fossil
#

To move faster you can also bring a pistol and run with it

strong barn
#

do you actually move faster depending on the weapon in your hands?
i.e. cs go knife running despite having a m4 on your char

tepid fossil
#

With a pistol you run faster @strong barn

strong jolt
#

if you chug a condensed milk and then take a propital, will you end up with 300 xp from healing from dehydration?

strong barn
#

the weight/speed debuf that the pistol adds to you is negated by simply 'running faster with pistol equipped'? @tepid fossil thats making my brain like 🧠 🤯

tepid fossil
#

Well I mean

strong barn
#

Id imagine the extra 1-2kg from the pistol making me that much slower but idk 🤷

tepid fossil
#

Your gun is technically on your back and you’re running with basically your hands out

strong barn
#

Id have to do time trials

#

oof

tepid fossil
#

So it kind Of makes sense

#

I’ve seen people do it I’ve done it too

#

Mix up bhopping

strong barn
#

yea, Id run faster with a heavy gun on my back then in my hands, despite the pistol on my waist

#

Thanks @tepid fossil

tepid fossil
#

Don’t mention it

#

I just saw people doing it and I thought I’d do it

#

oh my lord reap-irs are up to 440k

I have been slowly getting better at Tarkov and in the past couple solo raids I've done I've done well strategically. I was able to outsmart and move around other players but when I go to shoot them I'll be too excited and miss too many of my shots.

I have been focusing on breathing exercises which have been helping a load but I will still get too excited sometimes and blow my chance. Is there any tips to stay calm or is it something that I'll just get better at over time?

vague solar
#

@thick mist wow that looks super good. When you're inside can you actually see colors instead of everything looking almost black/white?

thick mist
#

It helps a lot with inside yeah

#

If you want more colors you can boost them further but I sorta like the washed out look

vague solar
#

my problem is that I don't really know what a lot of these things mean

#

I never did the nvidia filters, but then again I have <20 pmc raids so I haven't played enough yet to actually want to put that effort in

how can i not jump/flinch when i am surprised

i turned a corner and jumped, meaning my aim was to the sky instead of on my opponent lol

cyan tinsel

I do the same thing. Tarkov makes me jump so badly.

#

Then my heart starts pounding during pauses in gunfights

prisma stag
#

try to spot your breath. I mean, when you in stress, you will hold breath a lot which will increate these reaction, arms tremor and so on. so when you focused on something - try to do a steady deep breathing, that will refresh oxygen in your body and decrease stress. I haven't managed it really well yet, but it really helps

#

so, if you expect that you are going to firefight - try to breath in advance :)

bright helm
#

i just keep dying

vital mortar
#

That's quite normal

prisma stag
#

me too. this is tarkov

bright helm
#

past 4 spawns ive died before a minute

prisma stag
#

my personal record before dying in raid: 3 seconds

#

yeah, that was factory

vital mortar
#

@bright helm learn where the spawns could be, avoid running into that area/get away from your spawn. Unless you're hunting PMCs

vague solar
#

I have a 100/300 ifak. Should I bring it into raid with a backup or just sell it to trader?

vital mortar
#

just sell it, i usually sell anything under 200

#

and 100 ain't much, so will just take up more space for a spare

prisma stag
#

and if you aiming for survival then my personal opinion: do not move a lot first few seconds. people using predictable path from spawn to points of interest and timinf is known. so if you'll eait extra minute then most likely you'll be late for the cake, but will be alive and maybe get advantage by sneaking behind the people who already reached these points

vague solar
#

and you can't, like, combine two low-dura ones together?

#

about meds: no, you can't. and I haven't tried that healing system yet, but I used to heal with semiused meds before raids

zmz, do nothing if this is not giving troubles. have a lot of errors in such complex software is expectable, believe me, I'm a programmer

not really connected to these errors, tbh. after last semimajor patch I got huge fps drop on reserve, but amount of errors in console were the same

cyan tinsel
#

I got shot from the factory construction tower once. I think the guy was doing that quest @olive turret

bold kernel
#

I think it’s the console that is making my game lagging

Because it keeps refreshing commands

olive turret
#

you mean the concrete one with stairs? doc

cyan tinsel
#

Yes

#

The spiral stair thing

olive turret
#

aight i'll check it out thanks

prisma stag
#

@olive turret idk. maybe the building near the bridge or river? people often cross here, really exposing themselve and there should be appropriate distance

cyan tinsel
#

You can see fairly well across the river.

vital mortar
#

the concrete one would be a good start as you have an over watch over the bridge, or the hills behind gas

cyan tinsel
#

I got shot all the way across the river by someone up there

#

Near the train.

bold kernel
#

My computer is fucked after the update

prisma stag
#

@bold kernel console just shows the errors and normally shouldn't be acessed at all. but you can type in console command "fps 2" (without quotes) and see what is the reason for low fps

vital mortar
#

When you reinstalled the game, did you try to delete everything related to EFT before reinstalling ?

prisma stag
#

ok, and now is time for the question from myself: how to stop sucking and be a good player?
I used to blame my pc (gtx 760 ti oc 2gb is sucks, it can't steadily handle 30 fps on a midlow settings) for not spotting the enemy first, but turns out that real reason is me

#

btw, is it possible to adjust deadzone for a mouse? I can't move my point of sight just by few pixels, it is not moving at all then jumps away. I have no such positioning issue in bare Windows so it is definitely the game

vital mortar
#

Pretty sure mouse nowadays don't have deadzones, if you got deadzones check whatever software you got, or it could be your low specs/low frames

prisma stag
#

well, it is definitely not a mouse itself and not a windows itself. I tried to alttab from a game and kove mouse just a bit and it is working, my cursor moves dew pixels. then I alttab to a game, aiming using scope and here we go: slight mouse movements doesn't move the aiming. and if I continue to move mouse (even with the same slow speed) it jumps away by maybe 10 pixels and them moving steadily until next stop. seen this issue a lot of time

#

and it is not related to fps, as I can see

#

offtopic question: how hard it is for you guys understand me? I'm doing my best, but I think my English sucks... :(

vital mortar
#

Understands you fine, as for the mouse deadzone, got no clue what the problem could be

prisma stag
#

yeah, the same. no idea...

somber thunder
#

I've seen worse from people born and raised here in the U.S. ,so you aight.

prisma stag
#

@somber thunder, thanks, I feel proud to hear that, especially due to the funny thing: I'm Russian

somber thunder
#

Yea man you're doing fine. I havent really had any trouble readin any of your stuff.

vital mortar
#

Now as for your skill improvement. the below 30fps can affect your reaction time and the ms of your actions, thus not recommended for close quarter as most of us are running high frames and low latency monitors. Those few milliseconds could cost you your fights. So going for sneak/rat attacks and long range skirmishes would be your best bet

#

For that you will have to know the maps, and the routes player would usually take to avoid CQC

#

and to set up ambushes

prisma stag
#

yeah, and there is the root of issue: I suck at sniping due to problems with spotting target (graphics settings) and aiming (mouse deadzone plus my own skills).
and in cqc combination of my reaction time, aiming issues and my potato pc makes it even worse.
well, I will try to level up myself and save some money for an acceptable gpu then. I believe something like rx570/580 should work

vital mortar
#

Don't know how the prices of parts are in Russia, but preferable higher gear specs, though it will do with either gpus, don't know about your cpu and rams, but considering your current gpu, you should maybe look at those too

prisma stag
#

well, I have 12gb of ddr3 (12600, iirc) and fx4300 (yeah, it was obsolete even at the moment of purchasing), but my observation says that ram and cpu are almost resting while gpu is working overtime

dim thorn
#

i have an i5-2400 and a 970. they're not bad

#

12gb of ddr3 as well

prisma stag
#

and yeah, ssd makes loading time acceptable (like 3-5 mins till enter the raid while it took like 15-20 mins on hdd)

dim thorn
#

performance depends on what section of the map, and on which map

#

also have an SSD

magic urchin
#

Anyone wanna run shoreline at night with me

prisma stag
#

yeah, another confirmation that I'm bad at this game. scav killed me from like 15 meters away (according to the noise level of his steps, voice and shooting) and I haven't seen him

magic urchin
#

Bruh I have an hhd and it takes me 2-5 mins to joins depending on the map

#

My setup is an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 gtx 970 and 8gb ddr4

#

Getting more ram soon

prisma stag
#

btw, on new healing screen I see few direct shots and a lot of collateral damage. does that mean that after blacking the arm all subsequent damage to that arm has been transferred to other body parts?

bold kernel
#

What are some good rounds for the svds

prisma stag
#

the same as for mosin

bold kernel
#

ok

cyan tinsel
#

7n1 right?

prisma stag
#

lps gzh for onetap in non-protected chest and snb/7n1 for penetration, iirc

vital mortar
#

SNB will do fine too

cyan tinsel
#

What’s the difference between 7n1 and snb

prisma stag
#

pen and damage are slightly different.
let me try if this works

#

Slight flesh damage, and pen. but close to equal

prisma stag
#

wow, that worked, lol

cyan tinsel
#

Ok so it looks like 7n1 does a little more damage for less pen

#

It’s basically LPS enhanced

#

Those charts are handy

@prisma stag any limb thats blacked ( besides thorax and head) will transfer damage to other body parts evenly upon further damage]

prisma stag
#

thanks mate

stone surge
#

@prisma stag and bleeding doesn't kill

#

so it's possible to end up with a thorax and head of 0hp

#

and still be alive.

#

it can't be fixed, so you're basically a dead man walking though

#

what ak is the best for budget loadouts at lv 16 with prapor lv 2?

somber thunder
whole ocean
#

so ak-74n? I can mod on my own

somber thunder
#

yea

whole ocean
#

how much does prapor sell it for?

somber thunder
#

30somethingk i think

whole ocean
#

lol i was using the aks-74u and the recoil was insane

somber thunder
#

yea its not bad but you gotta get used to dragging mouse down before you even start shooting really

#

ak74n i think has the lowest base recoil

whole ocean
#

also im looking at adar and m4 builds but the stock gas attachment blocks my 1x scope. Will it block a valday?

#

if so, can i put it up higher?

somber thunder
#

valday youll still see it but it wont be blocking it really

whole ocean
#

can i take it off without consequences

somber thunder
#

if you put another one on

#

thats what it looks like on valday

whole ocean
#

another gas attachment?

somber thunder
#

Yea

#

gun wont be usable without a gasblock

whole ocean
#

ok but doesnt the default one give 500m range or do the others also?

dire rock
#

you could just use a low profile gas block

whole ocean
#

yes but the default one says it provides 500m range, do the others as well?

dire rock
#

what do you mean by that?

whole ocean
#

on the website eftdb.one it says the default gas block has a 500m range whereas the others say ergo or nothing

dire rock
#

range isnt a statistic

somber thunder
#

you mean effective distance?

whole ocean
#

yea

somber thunder
#

itll still be 500

dire rock
#

tbh only gun ive ever even needed to correct for distance is VSS

whole ocean
#

sorry im not a gun nut dont know the parts and such

dire rock
#

besides only place your shooting 120+meters is like woods/shoreline

#

gas blocks really dont matter much

#

mk12 low profile is what i run on everything

whole ocean
#

i use an adar for woods but ill try the mk12

#

thanks

dire rock
#

np

whole ocean
dire rock
#

if i may i would say a mosin/hunter or some other sniper might be a better option for woods, just a recommendation if you prefer the adar then thats up to you

whole ocean
#

yes i like the dmr aspect of firing lots of shots but effective at close range

dire rock
#

then hunter might be your best bet

#

basically a harder hitting adar

whole ocean
#

oh ok

dire rock
#

bit more recoil but otherwise its a 1 tap thorax through lvl 4 armor

#

with m80 of course

#

and if you need to go close range then its obviously not as good but ive gotten a few hip fires with it

whole ocean
#

how much is the gun from what seller or flea market is fine?

dire rock
#

flea market and about 40k

#

all the guns/armor are way up in price since we are nearing wipe

#

hunters are supposed to be about 20k-25k

whole ocean
#

i thought it would go down due to an abundance of loot

#

this is my first wipe anyway so...

dire rock
#

nah everyone is buying a lot of gear and going on thicc raids

#

trying to get the most out of their stash

whole ocean
#

true about to labs myself for the first time

dire rock
#

so valuables drop in price and gear goes up

whole ocean
#

ok thanks for that

#

while im hear i was wondering what the recoil number represents. Some are at 90 but is that high?

dire rock
#

its something you just have to know, theres no easy way to tell recoil

#

best way is to look at total

#

so vertical + horizontal

#

100 is great about 100 is also great, 150-250 is about avg for good Aks

whole ocean
#

ok i dont have shooting range yet so do i go to interchange for fuel?

dire rock
#

interchange has a lot of fuel spawns in oli

somber thunder
#

just take the gun into an offline raid and try it out on some scavs if you wanna see the recoil

whole ocean
#

ok and what level should i have unlocked the bitcoin farm?

dire rock
#

im lvl 31 and i still dont have it, but i havent really put much into hideout

#

its just based on how much you are willing/able to put into hideout

whole ocean
#

doesnt it give tons of money and people get bored of being rich?

dire rock
#

idk

#

moneys easy to get though, tis why rats are a thing

somber thunder
#

wouldnt say tons of money you gotta put significant amount into it to get it really cranking out the bitcoins

whole ocean
#

what is their price?

dire rock
#

something to do with graphics cards is all i know

#

but tbh i would recommend putting much into hideout when its gonna get wiped in a month or 2

#

wouldn't*

amber fiber
#

Can someone help me i cant stop aiming at body

somber thunder
#

yea i just recently got mine on level 1 a week or so ago and i havent even puta gpu in it yet

whole ocean
#

@amber fiber try place your crosshair at their head or take the time if you get the jump to line up a headshot

#

still hard for me too

amber fiber
#

no i only run factory

#

with val and cant stop dying

dire rock
#

@amber fiber if your in a firefight its better just to aim center mass and try to land shots

amber fiber
#

yes but it was 2 shoots for him to my legs

#

he kiled me in 2 shots

somber thunder
#

go into offline factory turn the ai amount to high to difficulty to as onlone or hard and just do that voer and over

amber fiber
#

no

whole ocean
#

this is a punishing game after all

amber fiber
#

what?

whole ocean
#

2 shots to legs nothing you can do about it besides positioning and say headphones

amber fiber
#

Headphones

#

ok fuck you

#

u dont know shit

somber thunder
#

caaaalm down

whole ocean
#

dont come here to be angry at the game

amber fiber
#

ur saying a headset will help

#

LOL

exotic jungle
#

aren't u keeping ur crosshair too low outside of fights?

amber fiber
#

fucking idiot thinking headsets help

whole ocean
#

if you hear them sneaking up on you, you will have the advantage

amber fiber
#

I did

#

i was camping the corner

#

but a hatchet runner ran up to me and hit me

#

and he walked out

#

and shot me 2 times in my legs and im dead

whole ocean
#

well aim your crosshair better than or think about how you can improve

amber fiber
#

thata what im trying to do!!

whole ocean
#

well listen to our feedback then without losing it

somber thunder
#

a hatchy ran up to you and hit you, then ran out and someone else shot you in the legs?

amber fiber
#

a hatchet ran up to me and hit me while the guy with shotgun went out and i peaked him but he shot me in legs

#

2 times to kill wtf

exotic jungle
#

keep your crosshair higher at all times if ur aiming for the head (or keep it like that go for the legs lmao), rely less on aim/shooting and more on positioning/running away/flanking

somber thunder
#

oh shotgun

exotic jungle
#

factory = fkn mess

somber thunder
#

yea thatll happen with a shotgun

whole ocean
#

well shotgun rips at close range duh

amber fiber
#

ok Bonicus what lvl are u?

whole ocean
#

16

amber fiber
#

Im lvl 48

whole ocean
#

wow

exotic jungle
#

impressive

whole ocean
#

and you still dont know basics

amber fiber
#

so u probbably cant help me

somber thunder
#

doesnt really matter what level he is, hes right, shotgunswill 1-2 shot you in the legs

amber fiber
#

What basics?

whole ocean
#

that shotguns at close range will 1-2 tap unarmoured limbs

#

or crosshair placement

#

or not being too aggressive and taking firefights that you will survive

somber thunder
#

1 shot can black them, another and that damage spreads to everything else and your bones

#

boned*

amber fiber
#

yea im gonna camp in a corner for 1minute to guy thats not geared

#

i play aggresive so idk how i shouldnt be agresive

whole ocean
#

dont be too aggressive that you run into every fight without thinking first, what corner in factory?

amber fiber
#

Behind the containers next to exit near the dooors

#

gate 3

whole ocean
#

maybe prefire when the shotgun guy peeks that seems like a tight space

somber thunder
#

i mean honestly if you want to play aggressive you just need to get your reaction time and shot up to carry how aggressive you wanna play in that case youd need to be able to headshot him before he got the two rounds off into your legs

#

best way to do that is practice on a offline factory with a shit ton of scavs on hard

amber fiber
#

i shoot in thorax too much i never shoot the head

whole ocean
#

do offline then like nurds is saying

amber fiber
#

i rather just pllay online

#

not geared

somber thunder
#

you can dot hat but its not gonna help much because youre not constantly shooting

whole ocean
#

well dont be disheartened when you dont get the results for not putting in the work

amber fiber
#

ok im not even gonna speak to this guy

exotic jungle
#

lmao

wanton drift
#

Lol this guy’s really picking and choosing advice when he’s lvl 48 in a beginners assistance lobby.

fast rivet
#

lvl 48 extract camper smh

amber fiber
#

what?

#

i spawned there

#

and i went office

whole ocean
#

gate 3 container is inside the room before the exit

amber fiber
#

i said next to gate 3 not in there

whole ocean
#

sort of the same thing

#

same door you are covering

amber fiber
#

ok ur fuck stupid

somber thunder
#

smh

whole ocean
#

and you are a toxic lv 48 in the beginners assistance not listening to anyone or willing to improve and just complaining for the sake of it smh

wanton drift
#

Trash’ll be trash

amber fiber
somber thunder
#

Theres no instafix to the situation, youre in gonna have to focus on improving that aspect of your gameplay and its easier to do the more you do it

amber fiber
#

and i have limited ammo im not gonna prefire if i dont even know where he is

somber thunder
#

so going into a high scav offline where you can keep trying for the head will help your muscle memory get where you want it to be faster

#

just do it 2-3 times kill as many scavs as you can with headshots before you do an actual raid and itll help

compact aurora
#

What is best 9x18 mm ammo?

lament pine
#

If you want armour pen then PMM is best but still isnt great. Overall damage though is SP7

compact aurora
#

Ty

lament pine
#

Any time, It's worth looking up some ammo charts btw, they give you a good amount of info

need help with punisher level 3 quest 🙂

whole ocean
#

can anyone give me advice about the skier kill 4 pmc's with a pistol task. It seems very daunting to me

olive turret
#

factory or reserve drop down has pistolings

whole ocean
#

how much is the fn-57 and should i mod it or bring a bad pistol?

fast rivet
#

glock, silencer, 33 rnd mag

whole ocean
#

fn-57 or glock?

olive turret
#

either one will work against pistolings

whole ocean
#

fn-57 has a 20 round mag default but glock can be modded more right?

olive turret
#

g17 has a ton of mod options its semi only g18 doesnt have a lot of mod options

fast rivet
#

you can shove in a 50 rnd mag if you really want to

olive turret
#

g18 is full auto

#

both glocks can use 30ish rounds in a stick or 50 on a drum

#

g18 has insane rpm too 1200 i think

whole ocean
#

cool but should i actually go for this quest instead of making adar/hunter and m4 presets and using them before wipe?

#

i like the ap-12 full auto as well

olive turret
#

its good practice for when you do quests next wipe but you can also practice with your presets. You dont need to do quests you can just try to get better at pvp if you want

#

this pistol quest in particular will be much easier after wipe

whole ocean
#

thanks and i was wondering what charging handles do (as in getting a better one)?

#

probably shouldn't use a pistol cuz everyone will be chunky

olive turret
#

charging handle doesnt matter too much since at the best it will give you plus 3 ergo but its like 40k if i remember

whole ocean
#

so they are basically useless for budget?

olive turret
#

yep

whole ocean
#

thanks

#

If the extract of on the other side of the map to where you currently are, is it better to beeline through the middle of a map or try to go all the way around? Mainly talking about reserve

whole ocean
#

depends how long you have left

#

is a long time, try go all the way around but if you dont have long just hope that others have already left

dim ridge
#
