Looking for a bit of assistance with BP Depot. Getting killed by geared players. Need to place one on crossroads tanker and new gas station tanker. ๐
seems to be a lot of gearheads out today lol
I just want to get my quest done and move on with the next.
i pretty much stopped my quest and jsut working on pvp since the wipe is coming
dont wanna grind them out more just to do them ovver lol
been blowing a lot of money dying this morning
lol
im just rushing quests until i get kappa im so close i can actually lick and taste the hands of fence who'll give it to me
Lol
im broke, can someone help me have a good run?
run scavs for a bit of income thats pretty much where i make most of my money to sustain theres no real risk so u can go for the biscuit every scav run
What's the most efficient way to get energy and hydration back between raids?
eat and drink
Yeah, obviously, but what specific items give you the most bang for your buck?
really i just have so much random stuff from raids i dont think ive ever bought food or drink
if i have space for it i grab all the juices and such
how often do they have wipes
Is anyone else having a problem where the game keeps tabbing out? when they change the resolution to 4:3
Any new players want help getting through some runs? Im bored multi wipe vet
yo can you open the interchange extract door more than once in a raid?
Not sure if this the right place to ask but if I made a sherpa request on tarkov site and I dont hear from them in a while do I just make a another request or is there an easier way to contact sherpas?
can i play with someone?
yes, but beginners assistance
reading the info tab, this looks to be the place to post on here when looking for a sherpa. I'm still relitivley new to the game, and PC gaming as whole, currently making the switch over from xbox. I played tarkov for about an hour the first time and was instantly hooked. I have always been above average at the games I have played in the past, so it bothers me i'm sub par at tarkov currently. We gladly accept any help from the vets/sherpas out there. I want to be prepared as possible for the restart after the wipe.
Hi. Can someone give me a hand getting started? Just got the game. Been playing survival games for years. Much appreciated if someone can show me some tricks
#pvp-lfg there's some peeps there who don't mind teaching you the ropes. Just need to ask there
thanks @vague mulch
Np, hope u enjoy the game! I wouldn't mind teaching if I'm in your server.
@vague mulch i live in japan, but i'm american so english only haha. but i can play cali servers or most of asian or some rus servers
Hmm, I'm in aus so maybe I can play if the ping isn't too bad. The ping kick is kinda annoying if u live down under
Just ping me whenever it on and I see if I can come and teach you.
@vague mulch i'm on now lol,
Haha, it's late for me rn. I should be able to play tommorow. Just ping me and I'll see if I can hop on
sweet! thanks man
@gilded obsidian @delicate osprey Hey. Im new too like, extremely but I had a bud come and give me a little cash and some tips. If you don't mind playing with a kid I'd be down
Wipe is coming so use this wipe as your training @lethal saffron
Also, no person with 400k would buy ammo for 300 each. I would know
Actually 300 is pretty cost effective
yeh, I was given the game Sunday evening
Nice
Got it working last night
What happened?
the first 4 times I booted it was stuck at 2 frames lobby, offline raids, raids, a lost a lot of gear. But then I like, idk, did a bunch of stuff to the files and now it works
according to my friend, the items in my stash such as some condensed milk and sugar which I found can be sold for a lot. Well, a lot in my terms
@lethal saffron i'm not a expert but I don't mind playing with new players, as i am one myself. what region are you in?
US
ghost stories? the anime?
Hey i'm anime man
your not im my class tho
where do you get all these emotes from????
oh lord
that ones nice
so I've been told to stick with a map and I chose customs. Though having trouble from groups cus im solo i've made some loot
what server is that one from ant zoo
eft r34 hentai_

@lethal saffron you should use this wipe to your advantage
when market crashes go to online raids of different maps and learn them
I don't have money to pay for a sherpa.. how does this stuff work?
u dont need money for sherpa
@azure moss Sherpa- a person in the community who willingly signed up for a role that helps players new or not
aah ok
^--- "the n00b is strong in this one..."
I'm trying to figure out how to do a bit of damage, because I'm getting killed way too often when doing PMC..
reading about a Mosin & PU scope and mount
or hearing in video.. whats a PU scope?
or how ever the fuck you pronounce it.. [PEE-U]
Pew?
Pee You
yes, Pee on Me
I'll be glad to

Well it's a pretty eh scope
doesn't zoom that far though
it has a crosshair like scope
^^ what it looks in game
It's okay ish
well, I need beginner gear
since I can't take all these losses one after the other
I'm doing 3 scav runs per hour just so I can buy some gear
I'm not even level 10 yet..
so I can't even buy on the flea market
the start of the game is really fucking hard to be honest..
"2 week rule"?
aha
ok, I'm old AF compared to most ppl here, so I'll make that a month ๐
hehetrue
set that 2 week rule and you'll be good
k, I'll do my best.. day #2 of playing now..
what is a good way of learning things?
I've started doing customs right from the start, to be honest
whats the fastest anyone has ever gotten the kappa container?
Pestily has a sped run video doing kappa.
@winged ingot prob about 4 days?
what is a kappa container?
3x4 secure container given via a quest from Fence
oh
the requirement is to have completed all other quests (except for a few) and then to collect a bunch of rare/unique items that (i think) are find in raid only turn-ins?
based on what I saw on the wiki
It's not including ones u get from failing other tasks and cosmetic tasks
And yes it is only found in raid
It's the random stuff u find like beardoil and mustache
is there a way to see which weapons fit what items in a website or something? I'm not yet level 10 but I'm looking for a scope for my Mosin
Edit Presets
Yes, the wiki shows compatible attachments
Look at the bottom of your character screen cappie, hit presets and go from there.

Wipe is happening
arent they supposed to drop then?
People spending their money playing, which means they buy ammo,
So demand going up supply going down
You'll see the price of normal trade goods, like graphics cards etc go down. But the cost of game goods like guns, ammo, armor go up
true
when is wipe?
idk how far away 12.6 is
less than 2 weeks?
guess no time for hoarding now
stepped away for a sec, wipe will be at the next patch which should be end of may start of june
an exact date will be announced closer
so people just go in for pvp now?
ies
I heard that weapons mastery is not wiped....
Would it be good idea to get it up for expensive weapons atm? Or rather your average ones to perhaps have slight impact on getting started later?
whoa whoa I heard that the only things not going to be wiped are your weapon presets and examined items.
Everything else is poof.
I.e. all skills and masterys
read this stuff on reddit, so no clue if true
reddit is potato
I hope so... I'd rather have it wiped
if masterys dont get wiped thats a big issue; players will start fresh patch with like 45% recoil reduction on everything ๐ definately gunna be wiped bro
somebody commented that it has never been wiped before tho :/
I cant confirm or deny that
I've only played like 2mo, so no clue
Maybe a more experienced player can offer insight?
I have also only played since february; if masteries dont get wiped that's some weird shit
they will reset endurance; strength; perception etc
but leave weapon masterys untouched?
doubt it
yeah, for sure.... veterans have decent edge if masteries have mroe than few % impact
There've been a couple of mastery wipes from the real old days
Thank you! I hope this is one of them.
Aye, I agree
Been tracking this project since transferring from contract wars back in late 2016
Game's come a long way since then, and there's still plenty more in the road ahead
love the active dev team
Nikita's passion for the game ๐ฅบ
not like some other certain similar game ๐
lel
Wonder if they are ever gunna release their other game
If I have the EOD version, after the wipe do I start with a gamma container?
bruh
@elfin pendant yes
thx
Any advices for what to focus on after the wipe ? It will be my first one ๐
my first one too, i think im going to try and get bitcoin farm asap
so i always have some income i guess
Iโm gunna focus on quest. First wipe also and I havenโt really done quest cause some like going to dorms and factory now is rough with chads all over
@spark hawk it will be even more tough after the wipe because everyone will want to go there
No sure focusing on quests is the way to go at first
Iโll have better luck against similar geared players and not chad stunning nvg and meta guns
@spark hawk but those chads that you talk about will be geared the same but will be most likely 10 times better than you
So just quit now then?
just run factory with high scavs on impossible in offline back to back and learn to outchad the chads ez
When was rust released? Thatโs the last time I played rust
HELP! what bullets should I bring for the SKS?
7.62x39 PS or 7.62x39 BP.
Doing a fun 1v1 tournament winner gets a red rebel DM me
Do raid bosses typically spawn at the start of raid or little after
At the start of the raid.
how good is the ash 12 at sniping over 150 meters?
Doing a fun 1v1 tournament winner gets a red rebel DM me
are ap 20 slugs good on factory
yes
Theyโre the best slugs against armor
eh, why not flechette? it melts armour close quarters
how many important quests are in other maps than customs? all maps have quite a few in kind of even distribution?
thinking I should perhaps get familiar with other maps I'm clueless at before the wipe
Like 90% of ragmans quests are in interchange, and a lot of peacekeepers quests are in shoreline
ok, thanks
shoreline I got bit familiar with punisher.. but interchange is painful, just like woods ๐
I dont think interchange is painful, what are you finding hard with it?
only ran it few times... usually I get sniped from long distances
yeah happens, normally I just rush the shopping mall I hate being outside lol
Yeah, but the loot is great in there for sure you can easily make 400k+ just from oli
oh no you barely need keys dude
I normally run oli since fuel cans are common af and they go for like 100K each
plus theres a lot of water filters
oh, cool
how popular is it? always action?
tbh I dont meet people that much in there and when I do its not that many geared people
even when I scav run with like 10m left I get atleast 1 fuel can
hm, I need to check it out few times
thanks for the tips mate
of course, all of the tech stores in there give a lot of money sometimes but rats rush that shit fast
Anyone want a sicc case with some shoreline keys?
Okay lets hop in a raid just leave room in your secure container for it
ign Karutapja
go shoreline right side
whens the wipe?
Let me know when you are looking for game in shoreline 16
I thought it wasnt for a while
A month or less
will start queue in 10 seconds
lol never tried it ๐
click start looking for group in the lobby
cant find it :S
lol
anyways, I can hear you; add me and I'll just come
click next
indeed, never used it this way lol
im in lfg
Karutapja
this is how I look, don't murder me :D
thanks pal
Enjoy!
Should I use 133 or 153 for shotgun sniping? 153 has more muzzle velo but lower accuracy
@naive ice u got anymore?
was sniper like 200-300m+ near radio tower direction
missed next shots on me; but thanks
What is good helmet? Should I have face shield?
ssh helmet from level 1 ragman and achhc are my most used. bring a face shield if you factory or labs because there are lots of scavs/raiders.
yes otherwise you will get 1 tapped ๐
Happens to me all the time on factory
I go up the stairs and my head is gone from some scav with slugs
if you want to be safe, just bring it on every map. I get one tapped on customs too
any recommendations for a cheap loadout to use? I'm trying to run customs for money but it ain't helping that everytime I die I spend like 100k on a loadout
@cerulean zephyr What gear are you using atm?
Also, what level, and what level traders do you have?
@cerulean zephyr what loadout do you typically run? what ammo gun armor helmet?
@cerulean zephyr Just run an sks with a scav bp, cheap and you can still drop people
Plus, customs ain't ideal for money making in all fairness
just got the game yesterday, do you get character exp in offline mode? want to unlock the flee market. also whats left a wipe? is it just like the starting equipment?
no xp in offline
oh ok thnx
Hey, does anyone have a image/screenshot of every loot possible in marked room ( customs and reserve ) ?
Do gluhar's bois count as raiders for the kill 10 raiders quest?
ok thx
@serene gust I've been running hunter with M80 ammo, 6B3tm Armored tac rig, SSH helmet from ragman.
I got prapor & Therapists lvl 3, Level 2 mechanic and ragman, lvl 1 rest
@olive turret ^
hi al
all
got this gam,e 3 days ago but i dont have someone to play with,anyone interested?
!sherpahub
Anyone want to play with me in a group? I am ultra noobie to the game?
Sure
whats a good armor that's better than paca
Hop into Beginners Assistance 2
im trash and i need someone that actually know what they are talking about
i know some of the basics
Does anyone have helpful maps I can access to learn the extract points/scav spawns etc.
other maps are on the same site
on that site, search for the other maps, they won't be as detailed as customs, since other maps have maps for key uses, loot and such
Oh thank you a lot!
If I have the little tremor icon, will I get credit for the 4 pmc headshot while having a tremor quest, even if I have a painkiller active
yes
@strong jolt as long as you have the tremor icon it'll count
ok thanks
does any one have issue with messenger box freeze the game up?
how do u fix that thing lol
That's a bug that popped up this patch
pretty new. lost a ton already. help? lol
the headache part is i have to reboot to clear it lol
New player here. Anyone around to help me learn a few things before the wipe?
Wait so when is the wipe?
In about a month's time
With the wipe fast approaching and the need to test weapons a priority, I am thinking of using either an ADAR or a vepr hunter as my mid-long range go to. The adar can be modded much more and has access to a suppressor which a solo player needs. It is also very versatile which helps me as a solo player. However, the hunter is a dmr so I believe it hits harders yet lacks a suppressor or close range capabilities. If I am playing on Woods or large, open maps, which weapon is better for me?
@hallow pelican how do I achieve preferably 0 but 1 is acceptable ergonomics on any gun mosin preferably??
@graceful blaze umm Im just curious, you know that smaller number is worse for ergonomics?
It just is
@whole ocean woods/shoreline and such your better off with either a dedicated sniper or an ADAR, hunters uses are best at mid range and headshoting since most helmets can be penetrated with M80.
Thank you
Did the extraction popup and countdown get removed this patch or am I broken?
Not getting any countdown when I enter an extract point
@hexed sky sometimes they are just bugged and dont show the timer
thank you
i shot this mf Gluhar in the head he had a christmas hat on he shook that shit off like i threw a wet tissue at him ...
Best way to get salewa kits?
Like map/ map locations...
If your in Aus/ add my discord and dm me Javs#4344 and maybe we can jump in a game and show me...
@unique elm literally everything
so Ive had 2 raids in a row where i could not fire my vss full auto i thought the 1st one was me but literally just happened very next raid
ok so something is def wrong i cant fire full auto ......
B
i know the button
And make sure it wasn't unbinded
That's weird
its been the last 3 games
b4 that is was fine
though maybe it was the gun but did it with the akm aswell
just reloaded my game
who can help me learn the game ? totally new and dont know a single thing about it
@deft stirrup oh shit, a fellow aussie
Can someone teach me the game aswell. I'm pretty bad? mostly just gotta learn the maps but I hate the offline thingy (:

@bold breach alot of youtube and learning ammo pen is extremely important you will die alot but give it a few months and you will get the hang of it just remeber you dont have to go fast take your time and you can win most fights that way
Also beside task pick a map or 2 and main it so you can make money
Hey guys, I got the game recently and I'm very discouraged. I've read so much about it and can't seem to understand why I'm not doing well. I guess I just would like to play with someone, anyone to learn the ropes before I give up on EFT.
@bold breach I just get spooked by scavs offline and doesn't help me either
Yeah I don't get spooked I just don't like playing alone :p
600 hours and i still jump, you guys will be fine
@fast rivet Are fellow aussies bad?
no, just rare as fuck when i want someone to play with or teach
me: yo what region
Literally everyone: i'm in the US
๐ ๐ซ
True I wasnโt too sure if oceanic server had less and if that would impact me 
hes cheating?
Is there a way to not become traitor when being a scav other than not killing other scavs?
like a way to kill a scav as a scav but not become traitor
i already know the "if he attacks first" thing but is there something else
I shot one with a mosin from a ways away, and the other scav somewhat near him didnt come after me. Just a newb tryna help lol
was it very far?
Like under the train near trainport, to gate 1 on the other side of the river on customs
Anyone available to give me a hand with Prapor's first quest? I've got the 5 scavs killed, not sure where to find the shotguns/Not terribly great at the game lol
so i was looking at wiki annd i noticed that there was gunsmith challenges above 12 and i was wondering y cant i see them
level
what level do u need to be?
Guys, do you have any tips for being better at pvp? I feel like I am very pressured whenever I fight someone.
@raven gazelle part 13 neels lvl25, u can just google "eft questname" and in the wiki it shows requirements and other info
@fringe ingot It's a lot easier if you ask specific questions
"How to be better" is really generic and hard to follow up with an answer
I just feeel like I dont understand how gunplay works in this game. I come from run n' gun shooters and in this game the recoil + how the gun reacts is very weird for me
Like my gun can be aiming up but the bullet will still fly forward and I get confused about that
Don't worry bout it. I can't explain it, my brain too smol.
i put a holosun ls321 on my gun and ik its a red light but what does it actually do?
@raven gazelle your bullets go to where that laser ends up
you can use it to aim in close quarters situations without aiming down your sights
lasers improve your hipfiring/pointfiring accuracy, the IR floodlight does that without giving away your location @raven gazelle
assuming you mean the red laser and not the red floodlight
but its a massive big circle?
the massive big circle isnt that easy to see from others point of view
so if i use it do my bullets just go to the center of that?
basically
not perfectly
well
ok
if its mounted on the right side of the barrel, bullets will go slightly to the left of the center of the circle
Anyone remembers how many skill points can you get per 1 raid (till your learning rate changes to 0%)? I wanna calculate how many raids would I have to do to get certain skill levels.
Also, is it the same for all the skills or do they behave differently?
anyone got the new updated map for interchange?
how is it that i have like 700H on this game and my aim, tactics and positioning are still trash?
@calm nexus focus on one map that you know perfectly so you can use that to your advantage, lock one or 2 loadouts you like and then go from there, be patient
For your aim I'd say to load offline factory with good enough bots so they are a challenge
i know 3 maps pretty well - shoreline, factory and reserve
i keep dying on all of them
I've started to play about 2 or 3 months ago, I've mostly been playing customs and I'm at 30% survival rate so not great but from what I see, factory is a close combat map and where we are now, lots of people are loaded and have huge armors so it will be harder
bitcoin
Hey, can someone help me on how to play as PMC?
When i do scav runs, i mostly do ok (extract with 2-3 guns some loot better armor vest backpack etc.), but when i do PMC runs I get gunned down instantly (avg survival time is like 2 mins) I dont know what im doing wrong on PMC runs when my Scav runs are good and end up even with decent amount of kills.
NA or EU @flint yacht ?
EU
I'm NA sorry man @flint yacht
Unlucky, thx for responding
No worries, good luck
I have to do this quest to get 20 pmc kills with a reap-ir. Do you think it's safer to do that at night or during the day? I feel like a lot of people are using thermals at night
Personally I did it during the day on Reserve
With the new IR changes it's even easier
why reserve, if you don't mind me asking
Lots of long sightlines with not too much foliage like on woods or shoreline
And I just like the map
ah right on
If you really wanted to speedrun it, put a canted PK-06 and nvgs on nighttime factory and don't even use the thermal
And you can pair that with Insomniac
at this point with shit being so expensive I'm more interested in safety than speed
or whatever that quest is called
even though up until now I've always been dumping money into these quests to do them as fast as possible
do you know reserve?
but reap-irs were up to like 500k or some shit yesterday, not sure what they're at now
yeah
you have rr?
sometimes
Since I would extract cliff decent I would always chill in dome for a while on the way to extract
but I was also doing the jaeger quest to kill gluhar
ah yeah
I just did that one
I do like reserve as a map, I just wasn't sure it would be one of the safer ones
@strong jolt honestly reserve is pretty safe cuz half the time it's just rats lmao
customs labs and interchange are the gnarly pvp maps atm
I do still have the 10 raiders quest so maybe I'll go reserve
gluhar's bois don't ocunt as raiders though right?
Idk tbh
idk never did that one
but you can spawn raiders if you just wati for the train
and sometimes when you push the button for hermetic
yeah
yeah that's what I'll do probably, but I might as well maybe pop 1 or 2 while doing this reap-ir quest on reserve
Just started the game, my first question is where the fuck do I find salewa kits lmao
for the quest?
all over
yeah for the therapist quest
You NA guesser?
Nope EU
Interchange Mantis and Emercom, Reserve white bishop, Shoreline resort first floors of east and west wings
players
medbads and medcases and sport bags
medbags*
Ah I see
its full of pvp atm
there's a med bag in new gas station
Oh okay well, never tried going to dorms and new gasstation because to many pvp and scavs there lmao
yeah and honestly you'd have to go there a lot of times to get 5 salewas
your best bet is to get them from players or wait until you unlock the flea market
I'm not sure if that quest is blocking you from getting other quests, but that might be one you put on the backburner and just t urn them in as you get theom
interchange is cool but it's gonna be really confusing at first
but you gotta learn it at some point
Another question, how do you prone?
X
oh it was that easy lmao
Found in raid salewas can be crafted in the hideout too :)
Yeah but Im quite new so no idea how the hideout works, just lvled some stuff that seemed inexpensive but that's it lmao
ive had some good luck finding cans of raid to trade to therapist for a salewas in the swamp lands on shoreline.
I am a noob. Haven't started any quests yet
that bronze pocket watch
Getting pretty good with combat but I'm not comfy with any maps or extractions so I keep getting caught lol
Want to do some customs runs @stable gyro
Try interchange, it has a hole in the fence extract similar to sewer manhole in reserve--drop your back and you can extract
Keeps the extract campers away @stable gyro
I'll keep that in mind lunar, and yes I am down Bun, my daughter is getting picked up in like 5 minutes then I got like 2 free hours
Can I just have 5?
Yeet
Ill come for a custom run to help a newbie with tasks @devout patio, you guys seemed cool yesterday when I was in chat briefly
I'm just happy to have anyone willing to help me with the game
Definitely a steep learning curve
But it seems like if you put in the time it is rewarding
@stable gyro Ive put like 500hrs in since I got the game in February
I play much more than a normal player but damn I still die to random one taps when I'm moving through interchange. LOL
Haha I'd imagine that happens
time = experience = more suviving
unfortunately this equation also means
death = more surviving
True that
๐คท
I killed 4 people on customs with a scav, got near an extraction, accidentally shot a scav bot and 3 of them unloaded on me
tough time
LOL sounds about right; its hard ๐
RIP
Taught me to check better though haha
AI scavs are laser aim bots its nasty, compared to AI aiming in other games lol
Yeah, so I've noticed. Especially the sniper
Id love to see an after raid replay system where I can first person view what the scav AI see's (after all players have extracted)
Give me an idea of how they aggro and how fast they shit on me lmao (would be abused to see sneaky hiding spots but a man can dream of seeing what an AI scav see's)
Dinjels are you NA or EU?
NA
kk
Yeah just hop into beginners assistance 1 when youre ready and lunar and i will hop in w/ you
Sounds good. In laws should be here in just a few to get the kiddo
Im chilling with this bubby guy in there whenevder; if it feels up we will go to a diff lobby maybe 3 man or something?
@devout patio @stable gyro
Whatever works, im just finishing up a work meeting too
Doesn't matter to me at all
can anyone help me im trying to get into this game but keep getting killed or lost
@bold pumice when you did the reap-ir quest on reserve, did you go at night or during the day?
I wish the game didn't encourage "haha shoot boolet" and actually made working with other PMC's and scavs a good idea... like what's the point of exits that require both a PMC and Scav if there's a 99% chance you shoot eachother on sight?
im new but will somone play with me and help me learn dm me
@proper cove force your friend to scav in the same raid
Fence gives you stuff if you extract on one of the scav pmc extracts

That's not the point I'm trying to get across though :(
pew pew not as fun as haha funny joke with randoms

Friendship is magic
But no really, I remember this game being advertised as more co-op survival oriented than it currently is
or maybe its just a glitch in the matrix
Donโt remember it being advertised like that
Youโve probably entered another reality

I do that sometimes
Me too
There was this one time I ate ice cream but then when I got up 2 hours later there was that same ice cream
Hey, I'm pretty new can someone just do a few runs with me and maybe show me key locations on certain maps?
is it me or has the game updated like 6 times in the last 3 days
12.5 was monday, hotfix today
Is there anyone that can help me manage my stash a little? Sell some things and stuff like that? I have literally no more space! And I don't know what I should get rid off...
doing factory 1v1s winner gets a Red Rebel DM me
@bold kernel look for things you dont think your going to use before end of wipe and sell them, either on flea or traders
and if you dont already have a few buy some cases they're all really cheap rn
after the wipe do you go back to having like 24000 rubles?
yup
everyone gets put to level 1, and you get what your starter edition gives you
you get reset to whatever pre-order you bought
oh ok thnx
so I'd get a huge stash and a gamma, and some extra gear because I have eod
but standard would get alpha, default stash, etc
yeah, we both irresponsibly spend money
it was my bday its ok
they all are
oh yeah its 300 :p
EOD is 400k
you'll get an email
if not, just go to the profile page on the website, there's a button there to download the launcher
Hi all, have a question about postfx filters, do we lose fps when enabled ?
Ow cool thx ๐
imagine advertising ur youtube if u dont have any videos that is sad
cringe
his intro on his youtube is shit too lol it has the typical intro music
@IdoTheCat20#5330 was there any thought put into what you did
the problem is so much worse than I thought
totally
No advertising
what is the best map to start on? I've just bought the game today, and every map I try there's like a hundred people lol
(I've lost all my beginner loot)
Im still new but would say customs since all your quests back will be there
And its easy to learn
But it's on insane, there's always someone I spawn near and end up dying in a few minutes
Also new, but interchange is the only map i could learn lmao
Those insane things dont really mean much i think
yeah the difficulty it says means nothing im pretty sure factory says easy when it really isnt
it's brutal lol
kinda is tho lmao
okay a little bit maybe
he do be dabbing tho
I laughed
pretty epic
what's going on
still annoying
still spam
Meanwhile I got instamuted for just posting 2 emotes in a 30 second slowmode
For 24 hours

30 seconds apart btw

go get help
GILL BATES HAVING A STRONK CALL A BONDULANCE
yeah.......
Aight lad chill out
#general-chat enough now, go have fun there
Is there a benefit to put a lamp or laser on your gun ?
laster reduces your recoil while hip firing
yes
Ok so you can be seen with it then
but the LS321 tactical device has a infrared mode which has the same effect but cant be seen as easily
no
and REAP IR
Guys, how many REAL players spawn on customs, because I'm really struggling... No matter where I go, regardless of where I am, there is always someone who ends up killing me... I could be sitting in the middle of the forest and I end up dying ๐ฆ
7-12 PMC's.
And with PMC's, is it a free for all?
Player scavs can spawn throughout the raid. I can't remember the exact amount for Customs, ~6 or 7
can spawn? So there's a chance they don't
AI scavs I can't give an exact number, it's pretty variable
arent regular scavs respawning anyways?
Not in the way you're thinking Yeeticus
@silver bolt Yeah but there is still the beam from the weapon to the pointed surface which can make you be seen
I'm really struggling lol, I've played about 15 games, and not even got close to an extract point without dying haha
At preset points during the raid between X and Y scavs will spawn in various locations thoughout the map.
Would you mind explaining? or is there a part in the wiki about how it works?
The IR laser is only to be seen with the REAP IR I guess
so it's probably the best option
So scavs don't have a respawn timer like other games
ah alright, thanks
@regal plover was that message aimed at me? Was that a useful tip
Player scavs are basically guaranteed to spawn
I feel like no matter where I am, there's always a real player xD I'm REALLY struggling here, I've watched so many youtube vids but I feel like I'm getting really unlucky
Unless nobody happens to be trying to scav in to your map on your server region
EFT is more a game of knowledge than skill
Gotta know the maps, where the loot is, where the spawns are, where players are likely to go, what guns sound like so you know the rough tier of players you'll fight by their gunshots, etc...
Knowing the stats of ammo, the value of different items, what armor to use are all important
I'm sure that's all well and good, but I can't even get to an extract point so I'm just losing everything lol
Noise is a big part of the game. If you're sprinting everywhere and hitting trees and bushes people will go straight to you. Almost everybody is wearing a headset of some kind.

doing factory 1v1 tourney winner gets red rebel
how to enter
for future references, if im in a raid and i accidentally load wrong ammo into sks, can i unload it somehow?
sks with internal mag
I donโt believe so
in raid no
oh ok
Does anyone know what key works for the power station on shoreline
It has a locked office with three boxes
I looked all I can find is how to get into it without key and that does not apply no more because they put a grate over the windows now lol
Key to HEP station storage
LF low level players to run with on customs will give weapon just looking to help DM me
@vital mortar ty been looking for an hour online google searches lol
Iโm down @tired venture
what level are u @abstract lodge
12 @tired venture
how important is it to level peacekeeper up? it seems quite expensive
Not really important to level up any of the dealers since you can get the same stuff at flea
well im thinking of the next patch
They could be good to level up, only for some of the barter trades. Prices are probably going to be high after wipe, but deflate after 2-3 weeks maybe and then be cheaper than the dealers
idk about that since items will be so much rarer
you know about the flea market change right?
Ye, sure for the type who usually just run through and those who die early, those would be affected, but getting through successfully is honestly easier than getting a run through, in my opinion
im confused, what does a run through have to do with the flea market change :o?
Getting a run through and the items will be counted as not found in raid, in other word can't put them up on flea
oh, well i'm mostly talking about how if you kill someone in a raid and take their stuff it won't be found in raid
so guns and parts are going to be way more rare from that
i think atleast, maybe it won't be as rare as i think
also anything you take into a raid once, like a keycard or keys in your pouch, will no longer be able to be put on the flea market
depends, sure people are currently selling parts the take from others and won't be possible after. but parts have a beginning, many are found in raids
we'll have to see of course, i just feel like items are going to be way more rare/expensive on the flea marktet
yeah for usre
sure*
What's the best 5.7 x 28 ammo to use?
All right thanks
i am having trouble with tarkov shooter part 3(the one where you have to shoot 5 pmcs from close range with mosin), do you guys have tips for me on how to complete it?
Aim for the throat as for getting close, I found it is easier to ambush folks by just posting up and waiting for them
did you do that on a specific map ? or is that irrelevant
If the Throax doesn't work aim for the legs not sure what ammo you are using
7n1
I did it in Customs for dorms, legit just posted up in a room closed the door and waited for someone to get greedy to go for the loot
But really I would say any close quarters match or a good place you want to post up
Factory would probably work
okay i will try factory, thx
No problem mate
patience and factory
it also helps train your point-shooting, you don't often have time to ads
just go factory with nothing but a stock mosin and 10 extra rounds. maybe some meds in container
and be ready to die a lot
yeah lol i died a lot, it almost seems impossible with all those geared players
if any nbew players wanna learn shoreline i can do runs with them, i have all keys
scav on interchange is almost impossible now with everyone geared and sitting for them
are there any good spots on shoreline to get 100m hs? i tried radio tower by train tracks and both roofs of resort and lighthouse with no luck
radio tower is the best i think'
i suck major ass at THIS VIDEOGAME
Will someone sign into my account and get me to level 10?
@raw vault we all suck, what's your point?
has anyone had a 37 minute long run and escaped on ur pmc to get a run thru?
u get run throughs if u dont kill And lott your kill
yeah, i suck too.
really irritates me, makes me feel old.
but my main problem is always being solo and getting shot in the back.
im new to the game and looking for someone to jam with just dm me
worth it to buy a lucky scav junkbox rn?
not at all
can't at the moment
anyone want to play in a group? i am ultra newb
For fuel, "Full" cans are almost always double the price or more of an empty one, so just look for the more expensive if you want a "Guaranteed" can of fuel
trying to buy it cheaper is basically playing the lotto
Nah i wanted to sell a full tank, but going to page 3 every single time is meehhhh ๐ฆ
yea, till they sort this out in the future eventually, its all you can do
hey im new to the server and the game where can i go to group up with other people
"imposible to conect to a remote server" I am geting this error when i try to updated tarkov, what do i do?
does the old gas station on custom spawn randomly or if its not there it wont spawn?
what do you mean?@sacred vapor
@sacred vapor it doesnt work like that things like flares dont turn on in the middle of the match they are either on or off for extract or the lights in zb12, or ruaf roadblock or ccp temp. Some extracts you can turn on like bunker in reserve.
any tips on getting to level 10 quickly to get the flee market?
@mint eagle do quests
How am I seeing youtubers manually cycling the bolt on weapons?
What do you mean cycling the bolt?
@karmic agate if you're talking about them not automatically cycling the bolts on snipers, press M1 and don't let go
Or do you mean checking the ammo/mag count?
so are masterys not getting wiped when the wipe comes soon?
Yes theyre being wiped
the only things that arent are weapon presets and examined items
whats the best way to get someone to guide me through labs
!sherpahub
ask here
what is a good smg to use? i've never used any and im just looking to try stuff out with my money at the end of the wipe
mp7
p90 also works but most people are going super geared so it falls short
but AP SX has 46 pen and decent flesh, which is amazing for the recoil and firerate of the mp7
it's like a worse, but still great, vss/val
ooh cool cool
just make sure you use an mp7a2 so you can customise it properly
i'll give it a try ๐ thanks
the a1 has a built in foregrip
is subsonic sx any good? ap sx is a bit expensive for me lol
I'm not sure, check the charts
yeah i'm starting to use all the mp7's i've collected from caches over the months, great gun with ap sx
bruh have found one mp7 from tons and couldn't even take it
i havent found mp7s from caches but i built up a small stockpile from all the players i killed that had it
Do we get to keep our twitch rival gear we got as drops?
i dont think so but i could be wrong
Did Tarkov wipe?
lmao
guys how do i drop stuff quickly without having to right click and pressing discard
delete key
wait cani change it
hey can someone help me with this quest please ๐
I friend bought me this game the other day and isnt online to show me the ropes does someone mind jumping in a raid just to get started on the solo grind.
if i want to purchase the marked room key for customs what key is it actually.
when i go to flea market, there are a ton of marked room keys, just want to make sure i get the right one
nvm, i'm stupid
can an extract open mid raid? for example rock passage on shoreline. can it be closed but then open?
There are certain extractions that open during raid, for instance Hermetic Bunker and Train on Reserve, but not on Shoreline. On Shoreline, either an extraction is closed, or it is open.

@chrome perch
i'm a level 38 pvper looking to learn labs. hit me up and i'll back you up!
which is better: as val or vss?
@pseudo veldt The same except but vss is a bit cheaper so go with that, also only needs a scope and u set
anyone wanna play am kinda new but decent for my hours
hey anyone know which helmet is good for mid gear?
Penis helmet
Penis helmet
Hey i have a question, if anyone knows, after the wipe what would be the best money making tip, would it just be purely scav runs?
@tall ridge money isn't the main concern when u wipe, it should be quests as they unlock trades and flee market. The money if u wanted is at ollie, interchange as a lot of barter items are there. Reserve is full or weapon crates and more accessible tech spawns so its up 2 u
awesome ty
What are purple keys worth and how much do they go for and blue labs keycards?
"Purple" keys are just keys the game deems to be rare iirc @main goblet
their worth is just based on what they do
@tall ridge cache runs = ez cash
ty
With the changes to the flea in 12.6 are they keeping it where you cant use it until lvl 10?
@wide shale Yes, and you can only sell things on flea if it has "found in raid" status, not including other pmc loot and if you find items but get run through status after raid you can't sell those items
Perfect thanks. And are the PMC caps on maps firm? Like if I account for 5 kills in customs I know there is no way that there are more than 6 PMCs left?
always has been but okay
?
@candid bloom Nice beginner assistance ๐
done
@main goblet just dismantle your guns and sell them off to skier and mechanic for the money, then focus on getting flea market so you can purchase decent builds and bully players on whatever map you chose
only keep the vss, kitted out ak and that sexy ass mosin
i got that mosin on a scav run dropped 2 lvl 40s and im lvl 7 xD
whats a fast way of getting xp? because its taking ages for me @bold kernel
quests
mechanic quests
mechanic only has one quest
then get to lvl 10 asap
yes, and as you do them and level, you get more
well for one u can sell that kolpak
Ohhh , where do i find bronze pocket watch
quest item
mhm
@main goblet I recommending farming quests
my suggestions for new players...as the wipe is close.. dont focus to much on lvl and quest as this will change so drastical in near futrure. Get used to gunplay and play scav
that is a good tip
i personaly play since tech alpha and dont do quests for example
only some basic ones
i love to take a cheap Hunter and m61 ammo and hunt full geard players
or if your not a big chad, i recommend farming interchange and selling everything you get
if ur new nows a good time to just play on all the maps and just learn them
even if u die theres a wipe soon so it doesnt matter as much
then you can easily get some decent kits from the flea market after doing some pvp on factory
yep
@main goblet you will need a machine key to do that quest, if you would like i can drop you a spare i have
@bold kernel sure bro
^
ok, ill give u a call
@bold kernel
Where is the wipe day?
hey I got a question, how do you fix the whole full game crash once you open up your messages
No specific day for wipe day yet, expect 2-3 weeks
i just done tarkov shooter part 3(which was horrible btw :) ), now i wanna do tarkov shooter part 4, do you guys have any tips on how to level up sniperrifle exp?
ahh, okay i think i will hop in a few factory raids and hope to kill some scavs there, thx
anyone wanna play some raids with me?
who is the best to turn chemical part 4 into
i would say whoever u need it most for
@cerulean zephyr depends on what you think is worse
Handing 10 M67 grenades to Prapor, giving Skier a million rubles, or giving Therapist a couple of keys, one being almost 200k (last I checked, I don't know how much military checkpoint is going for nowadays)
Anyone available to do a run? I'm new so I'll do anything. Just wanna make it out alive and not get TKed ๐
Yeah for new players, I wouldn't focus on quests right now but just playing and getting familiars with maps
Your stash content doesn't matter anymore until wipe
its good to familiarise yourself with the quests too
so whats the deal with BT bullets? They're AP tracer rounds?
Tracers, not necessarily armor-pierecing
they can pen level 4 pretty good. @wraith tide, but you should run atleast BS
word but why would I want to use a round thats a tracer is what I mean - regardless of if it can pen lvl 4
But tracers means tracing to where you are more easily ...
yes, but they are your best budget option
yeah im not using tracers lol i was j/w what other opinions were
bp
at what level of searching I can search 2 slots at once?
usec 3 is better though
mhm
wipe is soon TM so you can pick usec then. or reset your account now lol
yo does anybody wanna help me out?
when is the wipe gonna be?
about 1 month
thx ^^
Less than a month i believe, maybe as little as 2 weeks
i would say 3-4 weeks
Nikita said sooner then u think so probably like 2-3weeks
oh okey nice
can someone explain how i didnt kill him?
well i guess his total health was 435 yes but
If Mosin Man shoots in Woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
yes
Could have been stimmed kop
Can someone help me learn new maps ?
how can I say cocksucker after I kill a guy?
anyone tryna duo im new asf
Newbie Looking for a second for some duos if someones down to help or die with me lol.
(I
IM SHAKING IN ANGER BECAUSE I OBLITERATED A KINDA HEAVY BOY IN FACTORY AND RAN TO EXIT AND GOT KILLED BY AN EXIT CAMPER
I
ive hit a new low
im gonna cry
Just got the game yesterday looking to learn more
@raw vault Never go factory unless you have the key. Gate 3 is camped almost 90% of the time.
I believe that statistic is wrong as I myself do not experience campers on gate 3
I think that only happened to me once
"It doesnt happen to me so it doesnt happen." Ok
Gate 3 is camped 90% of every raid, 100% chance you find them though ๐
but it isnt wrong
Stopped going until I found a key, that shit is aids
Which key?
Factory exit
Ahh I see
i mean i was just tryna do my skier quest and got 3 kills and fuckin obliterated a guy with some nice armor and was booking it and i actually survived his first mag but i was panicked so i missed most shots
Lol it happens to everyone at least once
yo does anybody wanna help me out?
