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
if so, what key?
Yellow keycard
I think
Confirmed yellow keycard. But it won't stop raiders spawning
Wipe will@come with the 12.6 patch
@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"
a nice long raid for me
What map??
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
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
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
@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
I heard its a while off, but it would be nice
I've been trying for almost 3 hours to get Fuel out of interchange and have yet to extract today -_-
Why do it that way? Just go offline Factory, insane AI with horde mode and marked and cursed
yeah Im just running scavs right now lost too much money lo
@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
No doubt. But getting your reflexes up to dink them quicker is great with no risk
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.
I am not actually seeing you hit him besides the first shot though to be fair
in the raid end stats screen, I had 5 hit count
He did hit him though two were arms by the look of it
not hitting his thorax
Also a good point
I thought bullets go through the arm, I've definitely lost arms and thorax to a sniper shot before.
iirc it loses some damage if it does
Whelp
why did you run up there right away?
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
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.
what level does ur therapist need to be to trade tetriz
Thats a mechanic trade no?
ugh, that feeling when you're almost certain you ain't getting your insured stuff back cause you got killed by a player scav
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
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
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
that feeling when you dont stream for that very reason
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
-pew-
it's like $800-1000 worth of kit though, so that hurts
working the corners of tarkov city; I make that in a night 😂
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
works fine for me when i don't leave it on semi
You just havent ran into real Chad's yet
Wait until you magdump someone with 25+ hits and they take it all in stride
mp5 tickles real armor
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
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
but your point is well-taken and i know what you're saying
@muted forum you down for woods?
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
How long until server wipe? Havent played in forever but thinking about trying again
Ah sweet. Probably the best time to get back in then. Get warmed up for fresh server
if your into self torture then by all means jump back in
sounds like i am totally deaf when i play the scav without a headset
may have a helmut on which muffles sound
Are there any good sniper scopes that work well with night vision?
Woods anyone?
anyone wanna do monet runs
@pure girder what map
@pure girder, Nver good to do money runs together. Better solo
untrue
Depends where your going @bold kernel
where are you getting an "ez 2m"
Shoreline is good for 2 people money runs
@gloomy bane NVG's stop you seeing through most any scopes
Right. It'd thermals that stop you seeing through them
@desert hull Ledx Farms
@pure girder what map tho
ledx farms are pretty virgin tho
but yeah I suppose if you are extremely lucky you can get 2m
definitely not the average run
What map
??
10 man labs isnt a thing so
^
Well I’m in a discord where people do it 2 5 mans queue at the same time
i mean highly unlikely you get into the same game
unless its like really late
then maybe you have a chance
They do it at night
@magic urchin then yes, extremely scummy and unintended
hey when you are a rat like me you take the loot however you can get it
who is doing money runs?
Every run is a money run
most of mine end in death
Same and that’s okay😊
Guess mine mostly end with server disconnect cause I have 3000 ping with my backwoods internet
he does yes @strong jolt
There’s a chance
factory pvp, igonik or bs?
Captain Anton
does anyone have access to lvl 3 skier and can tell me the current exchange rate of roubles to euros?
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
Oooh yea it should so him as a vendor even if you dont' have the level it will just be blacked out
yep, 130:1
Or greyed out so you can't pick it
No worries glad you found it
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
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
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
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
Cliff decent is the only pmc only extract on reserve correct?
Sorry to ping, i misread ur question
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
I don't have the cash for M995, what should I use instead? Going into labs.
hey, is the SKS with PS ammo viable for mid-gear runs on say customs?
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
I've found out using cheap headphones helps a ton
A homie, had no rouble 😦
also,don't sprint everywhere
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
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
I recommend rubber pads
that was i use
VSS is godlike but it's gonna get nerfed
me too,but that goes away with practice
always less than 500K
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
alright
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
well, yea I've been playing since late February
yea i'll try
well stop it
Yeah sure it’s that easy
reg labs keycards aren't anything to get mad over man,you can make the 150k-200k roubles ez
But I also had morphine and a resort key
as a scav?
Yes
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
When it says must kill scavs without armor does that mean armored tact rigs as well?
yes
Yeah exactly
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
Also could have been a frag
So, what are the best Reserve keys?
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
@sullen carbon server ?
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?
It's better to be naked with headphones than have altyn
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
SOMEONE TEACH ME
How to dougy?
just me being factious
.....googles fa...cti...ous
OH!! ha
pro tip me
or....im playin atm. party up n teach me?
i dun kurr
Sherpa hub is a good spot to start
oh shi my bad
im far from the guy to teach anyone lol
if im a ninja its chris farley type lol
was a actor
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
762x39 BP is still more expensive though.
just get an mp9 and some rip and shoot their legs ez kills
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?
that's one hell of a shitter

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 ?
yep
does it consume the card ?
you just need to have a keycard on your person. It is not used if you go offline
npnp
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?
I personally don't use helmets, personally
So a one tap to the head and you are dropped?
id run this if ur using face sheld/ earwear
what class is it?
3 but its cheap and gets the same faceshield as tc800 and airframe
and yea, I almost never run helmets since people are using high pen rounds anyway.
unless I steal one off a body,
i usually just put on an ssh
what visor is compatible with the helmet?
ok thanks hopefully it saves me on Labs!
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

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

hey fam wahts the sherpa waiting room for?
both startle the piss out of me
Suprisingly I don't find many campers,maybe cause I main customs
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
My advice would be to take a break for today
i can feel my inner whiner coming out, heh
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
it sucks because you have to acknowledge just about any playstyle is a legitimate playstyle
Yes
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
I recommend cheap headphones like comtacs
i use whatever ones ragman sells, and i like them a ton, huge difference even on cheapies
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
this most recent dude just taught me you can apparently shoot through the doors at the pier in shoreline
Huh,I've never managed to extract as a PMC on shoreline
i'll have to investigate that further, but the glass doors in the pier building aren't broken but he can shoot through them
I have bad juju on that map
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
Can Scav suddenly spawn in some where in the map and instantly roar and headshot me, I just experience something like that
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
what map is best to start on
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
@trail mulch learn customs as the first tasks are on that map
where is zb 1012 located on customs? i have used every extract on the map except that one
you know where 1011 is?
yea right down the tracks
usually im coming from dorms so i prob wont use it anyways, but thanks
at least now i know where it is in case i need it lmfao
its not a guaranteed extract btw
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
You can do an offline raid
are those just against scavs?
you can decide to have scavs active or not, its entirly offline so you wont lose or gain anything
@hard hazel ya them offline runs will be a lifesaver when your looking to learn stuff on maps like cache stashes and such
can you tell whether or not a pack of sugar is full when you buy it from the flea market?
where would i start one? i dont see an option for that
tried inspecting, doesnt seem to indicate anything like how inspecting fuel does
whats the best armour except slick
hit next till you get this screen
👍
What a good cheap gun on the flea and the best mag and ammo for it
Mp7, ap sx
What about sight
ive been finding a lot of mp7s in caches
What’s a good sight?
@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
Ok thanks
anybody got a valorant key they dont need?
need help on woods, still learning the map, 1 scav kill left to get,
to a VC?
just call me
i was running woods with an adar an I need a mid to long range scope. What is the black cross scope that can zoom in and out?
black cross? Can't be 100% on that description but i'd look into a valaday PS-320 (1x/6) and Elcan Specter Dr (1x/4). Check wikis below for crosshairs
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Valday_PS-320_1x/6x_Scope
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/ELCAN_SpecterDR_1x/4x_Scope
i see kotton use it and he can toggle the magnification sorry not too sure
if you link me a vod I can help, but both of those are popular toggle ones
DM me. I probably wont be checking back here for a while
And chill. chat with you then
prob a valday then
i like the valday since the scope is clean. but the elcan is cheapish for poors
ye valday
can anyone help me do tasks im only lvl 6 bruvs
I hate bots 🙂
Better place to find help. Associated with OEFT. Shares a number of moderators and so on.
Lots of people there looking to help others.
anyone want mission help
I need help getting better.jpeg
anyone have tips for shooter born in heaven interchange i legit see no one outside for several raids while camping emercom
you're looking for fights in interchange?
I was wondering what charging handles do
looking for long distance fights for 100m hs i dont see anyone all raid going emercom
100m isn't that far so you're not forced to camp exits
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?
no but its suppose to be one of the more reliable areas that i can distance and that people are suppose to go
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
dude says its hot up there but the past 8 raids ive seen no one at that spot or near emercom
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?
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
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
i just walked too far out on reserve and got killed i didnt know that happened
will i get insured stuff back?
if no one picks up your loot
Found my first ledx and first graphics card in the same raid
@white forge I think there’s land mines
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?
@elfin pendant did you account for the taxes put up for selling empty fuel cans
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
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
yeah its my first time reaching this point in the game but i think im right, its better to sell the cans
Do you get to keep your ammo when you’re using the shooting range?
yes
thanks, also does the matchmaking timer ever give up and just spawn a map or will it go on ad nauseum?
alright, thank you again
yep np
you know it's been a bad night when you start putting tushonka in your gamma container
woods is going back on my blacklist as soon as i complete this godforsaken quest for jaeger, i'm awful at it
need help playing trying to learn maps im only lv 9
@hexed sky try changing your server
any chance someone would be able to give me a hand to do the golden swag mission?
rip, patch 12.5 underway
what happend to server??!
patch 0.12.5 is being installed on the servers, the game is in maintenance for another 2 hours or so
dam i wanna play
How does the secure case work?
Anything in it is safe from being looted
But some stuff cannot be put in it without a bit of cheesing
cheesing?
Yup. An example would be
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
ah
No you don't have to insure it Pumpo
Yup. Not even on insurance returns. It comes out of raid with you
No problem at all
Where are good areas to find meds right now?
Do i need to just extract? or do i have to go back to the signal sources?
thanks. sorry for the trimonitor screenshot
what do you guys buy from ragman to get to LL2?
Is anyone here on the Sherpa server? How do i join the massive give away thing please?
need help to kill pmc shoreline for epsilona ny tip?
Just react to this?
Just looks like the blue text is a link to something but nothing happens if I click on it
does the trasformer bag actually do anything different?
or is it just flavor text
Why is Igolnik cheaper then BS now....wtf?
Also 1.3k per pop.....I think I'll switch to m4 now
shoot at that ill sell off all mine lol
id imagine it will go back down at some point thats double what the vendor sells it at lol
and thats an 'easy' quest
yeah but im tryna get it done fast
Hello! I just started the game yesterday and I am really in need of a coach right now, it would be lovely if someone can contact me.
@inner jetty You can request a Sherpa at the following: https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa/user_request
You can also join the Sherpa Hub Discord and ask there.
ah thanks! I already did that
is there an updated interchange map?
if you go mia, is there a chance you will come back?
or is it just death with extra steps
whats the most budget kit for labs?
@bold kernel as far as I can tell that link is to become a sherpa, not to find a sherpa
no helm or green pp helm
@vague solar Yes, you are correct. Thank you. Here is the link: https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa/user_request
How long till the wipe
10 hours
2 seconds
Ok thanks
what's "the best" ak variant?
M or N
aks-74n good?
Whats good settings for PostFX
Yes
N is good
M too
Akm is a good 7.62 gun too
Akmn from what I’ve heard is pretty bad
ok
akmn has too much recoil and not enough customization
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
AK-74N is better than AKS-74N
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.
If I'm not mistaken AK-74N is the best 5.45 AK
That sounds right.
ok cool I'll give that a shot
Personally I like the AKM because BP owns
just building a bunch of guns in advance and figured I'd make sure I'm making the best
You can’t get vertical recoil as low as some of the meta guns, but it’s fine enough in my opinions
74m or n
I do have a bunch of BP because I don't run 7.62 often
N
so maybe I'll make some AKMs as well
They are really good in CQC hipfiring with a laser
That and it 2 taps class 4
Like dorms, resort, labs
yeah I'd probably take them into factory or something
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.
Put a laser sight on, it'll help you with hipfire
^
I personally like hip firing with a 60 rounder
If I’m using an asval I don’t hip sometimes
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
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
I’m also just not very good at CQC
so it could be a mix of both.
can someone help me with my color settings
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
I haven’t played in like a week or so, due to work
Being an essential worker sucks lol
Tuff
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
Then maybe I got really lucky for a long time, ha.
But I would be 0 rubles after that
seems like everywhere is chad land right now
People think wipes like 2 days away
I just did that supressed 12gauge quest and it was rough because everybody was geared
When its like 1 or 2 months away
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?
I'm not sure this is my first wipe too
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

I feel like some armor is undervalued cause everybody is buying slicks
like redut-m is like 180k
and slick is close to 500k
redut sucks
that seems crazy
i rather use a trooper lol
Im using trooper too because it repairs well and has minimal speed penalties
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
To move faster you can also bring a pistol and run with it
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
With a pistol you run faster @strong barn
if you chug a condensed milk and then take a propital, will you end up with 300 xp from healing from dehydration?
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 🧠 🤯
Well I mean
Id imagine the extra 1-2kg from the pistol making me that much slower but idk 🤷
Your gun is technically on your back and you’re running with basically your hands out
So it kind Of makes sense
I’ve seen people do it I’ve done it too
Mix up bhopping
yea, Id run faster with a heavy gun on my back then in my hands, despite the pistol on my waist
Thanks @tepid fossil
oh my lord reap-irs are up to 440k
what a terrible time for me to be doing this quest to kill 20 pmcs with a m1a reap-ir
they got buffed so not that terrible
reap-ir got buffed?
Removed cap for range
range limit is removed
oh
Long range REAP-IR 😂
I legit didn't even know you could do that
incase you want closer optics too 😂 this things a meme
😂
also pro tip bring more of those mags so u can reload for some reson people dont do this so they have to load in the rounds 1 by 1
approx price 595k LOL
good thing I got it all in my stash; Ill build it and use it and post how I do
show it in shooting range
Nah I just go one round at a time and collect the loose ones I eject at the end of the fight
one sec gunna build it
im actually curious how that scope works
if it works or just shows the reapir as black
we will see; I may reorient it so reap-ir is in the back
alright screening in firing range
lul
that thing is a monstrosity
did they remove range cap for t-7's 😮
Anybody mess with postfx stuff yet
@spark hawk I like these settings

Sell, trade 1 for a backpack from peacekeeper I think
oh sweet
Couple other traders have barters for them I think too
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?
@thick mist wow that looks super good. When you're inside can you actually see colors instead of everything looking almost black/white?
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
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
206, 2 story dorms
why ammo so inflated ?
End of wipe, so people are getting rid of stuff at a higher price as it doesn't really matter, also helping those with too much money to get them off
looks like im switching to bt ammo lol
Have always used bt, for some reason i keep thinking i only have 500k and can't afford bs
lol
Giving away a red rebel. DM me to enter ill draw a name from everyone who DMs me
Why did my FPS dropped by 60 after update? Can someone help me? Thanks
Has the cap been reset to 60?
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
I do the same thing. Tarkov makes me jump so badly.
Then my heart starts pounding during pauses in gunfights
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 :)
i just keep dying
That's quite normal
me too. this is tarkov
past 4 spawns ive died before a minute
@bright helm learn where the spawns could be, avoid running into that area/get away from your spawn. Unless you're hunting PMCs
I have a 100/300 ifak. Should I bring it into raid with a backup or just sell it to trader?
just sell it, i usually sell anything under 200
and 100 ain't much, so will just take up more space for a spare
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
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
Can anyone help me?
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
so hit tilda button to close console and you are good
It’s giving me ultra low FPS
tilda is ~, below ESC button
I get 2 FPS in game now
After update
I can’t even load into a game now
Loading Lott 2%
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
alt+f4 and try again then.
and do you have your game installed on hdd or ssd?
Ssd
I used to get 80frames
Now I get 2
I have reinstall my game
And it’s still not fixed
what are some good spots for customs 100m hs quest?
check your graphics settings, maybe it been resetted to too high values for your pc
It’s the same
I got shot from the factory construction tower once. I think the guy was doing that quest @olive turret
I think it’s the console that is making my game lagging
Because it keeps refreshing commands
you mean the concrete one with stairs? doc
aight i'll check it out thanks
@olive turret idk. maybe the building near the bridge or river? people often cross here, really exposing themselve and there should be appropriate distance
You can see fairly well across the river.
the concrete one would be a good start as you have an over watch over the bridge, or the hills behind gas
My computer is fucked after the update
@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
When you reinstalled the game, did you try to delete everything related to EFT before reinstalling ?
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
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
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... :(
Understands you fine, as for the mouse deadzone, got no clue what the problem could be
yeah, the same. no idea...
I've seen worse from people born and raised here in the U.S. ,so you aight.
@somber thunder, thanks, I feel proud to hear that, especially due to the funny thing: I'm Russian
Yea man you're doing fine. I havent really had any trouble readin any of your stuff.
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
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
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
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
and yeah, ssd makes loading time acceptable (like 3-5 mins till enter the raid while it took like 15-20 mins on hdd)
Anyone wanna run shoreline at night with me
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
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
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?
What are some good rounds for the svds
the same as for mosin
ok
7n1 right?
lps gzh for onetap in non-protected chest and snb/7n1 for penetration, iirc
SNB will do fine too
What’s the difference between 7n1 and snb
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.

Slight flesh damage, and pen. but close to equal
wow, that worked, lol
and this is for a quick reference without numbers:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/680836776436433093/eawzvoj4blc41.png
Ok so it looks like 7n1 does a little more damage for less pen
It’s basically LPS enhanced
Those charts are handy
Thanks
@prisma stag any limb thats blacked ( besides thorax and head) will transfer damage to other body parts evenly upon further damage]
thanks mate
@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
is this normal? the last few raids it takes so long to match
just re-queue
I FINALLY GOT MY VALORANT KEY!
@elfin pendant
long
not an hour like we used to at the start of the year
what ak is the best for budget loadouts at lv 16 with prapor lv 2?
Today we have a new Tarkov series for you guys, Budget to Best! This series is all about gun building and in each episode I will show one gun at 3 different price points. In this episode we're looking at the AK-74N. Let me know what you guys think and what guns you would like ...
so ak-74n? I can mod on my own
yea
how much does prapor sell it for?
30somethingk i think
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
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?
valday youll still see it but it wont be blocking it really
can i take it off without consequences
another gas attachment?
ok but doesnt the default one give 500m range or do the others also?
you could just use a low profile gas block
yes but the default one says it provides 500m range, do the others as well?
what do you mean by that?
on the website eftdb.one it says the default gas block has a 500m range whereas the others say ergo or nothing
range isnt a statistic
you mean effective distance?
yea
itll still be 500
tbh only gun ive ever even needed to correct for distance is VSS
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
np

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
yes i like the dmr aspect of firing lots of shots but effective at close range
oh ok
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
how much is the gun from what seller or flea market is fine?
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
i thought it would go down due to an abundance of loot
this is my first wipe anyway so...
nah everyone is buying a lot of gear and going on thicc raids
trying to get the most out of their stash
true about to labs myself for the first time
so valuables drop in price and gear goes up
ok thanks for that
while im hear i was wondering what the recoil number represents. Some are at 90 but is that high?
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
ok i dont have shooting range yet so do i go to interchange for fuel?
interchange has a lot of fuel spawns in oli
just take the gun into an offline raid and try it out on some scavs if you wanna see the recoil
ok and what level should i have unlocked the bitcoin farm?
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
doesnt it give tons of money and people get bored of being rich?
wouldnt say tons of money you gotta put significant amount into it to get it really cranking out the bitcoins
what is their price?
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*
Can someone help me i cant stop aiming at body
yea i just recently got mine on level 1 a week or so ago and i havent even puta gpu in it yet
@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 if your in a firefight its better just to aim center mass and try to land shots
go into offline factory turn the ai amount to high to difficulty to as onlone or hard and just do that voer and over
no
this is a punishing game after all
what?
2 shots to legs nothing you can do about it besides positioning and say headphones
caaaalm down
dont come here to be angry at the game
aren't u keeping ur crosshair too low outside of fights?
fucking idiot thinking headsets help
if you hear them sneaking up on you, you will have the advantage
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
well aim your crosshair better than or think about how you can improve
thata what im trying to do!!
well listen to our feedback then without losing it
a hatchy ran up to you and hit you, then ran out and someone else shot you in the legs?
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
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
oh shotgun
factory = fkn mess
yea thatll happen with a shotgun
well shotgun rips at close range duh
ok Bonicus what lvl are u?
16
Im lvl 48
wow
impressive
and you still dont know basics
so u probbably cant help me
doesnt really matter what level he is, hes right, shotgunswill 1-2 shot you in the legs
What basics?
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
1 shot can black them, another and that damage spreads to everything else and your bones
boned*
yea im gonna camp in a corner for 1minute to guy thats not geared
i play aggresive so idk how i shouldnt be agresive
dont be too aggressive that you run into every fight without thinking first, what corner in factory?
maybe prefire when the shotgun guy peeks that seems like a tight space
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
i shoot in thorax too much i never shoot the head
do offline then like nurds is saying
you can dot hat but its not gonna help much because youre not constantly shooting
well dont be disheartened when you dont get the results for not putting in the work
ok im not even gonna speak to this guy
lmao
Lol this guy’s really picking and choosing advice when he’s lvl 48 in a beginners assistance lobby.
lvl 48 extract camper smh
gate 3 container is inside the room before the exit
i said next to gate 3 not in there
ok ur fuck stupid
smh
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
Trash’ll be trash
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
and i have limited ammo im not gonna prefire if i dont even know where he is
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
What is best 9x18 mm ammo?
If you want armour pen then PMM is best but still isnt great. Overall damage though is SP7
Ty
Any time, It's worth looking up some ammo charts btw, they give you a good amount of info
Visualization of all ammo types in Escape from Tarkov
need help with punisher level 3 quest 🙂
can anyone give me advice about the skier kill 4 pmc's with a pistol task. It seems very daunting to me
factory or reserve drop down has pistolings
how much is the fn-57 and should i mod it or bring a bad pistol?
glock, silencer, 33 rnd mag
fn-57 or glock?
either one will work against pistolings
fn-57 has a 20 round mag default but glock can be modded more right?
g17 has a ton of mod options its semi only g18 doesnt have a lot of mod options
you can shove in a 50 rnd mag if you really want to
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
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
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
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
charging handle doesnt matter too much since at the best it will give you plus 3 ergo but its like 40k if i remember
so they are basically useless for budget?
yep
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
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
did anyone elses game uninstall randomly?
@dim ridge there was an update maybe your game is just doign an update
nope making me re install it @prisma stirrup
thats strange
