Any one want to play
ok
r u new aswell?
yeah
advice to clear room? got the game 2 days ago i dont know what to keep and what to sell
Sell the VSS and the 30 round srm on the market
the mags will fetch 40k each
unload them first
Chances are theres SP-6 in them
Sell seperately
Break that mosin down and sell it
Sell the SA-50
58
ive not got the market im level 8
ok thank u
thing is i get loot like that very fucking easy , some high levels on customs are trash and are super easy to drop
and everytime i drop one i get 2 gearsets
do i need mags for a mosin or does it reload like an sks?
@mint eagle if u have a mag in the gun reload it and then bring some loose bullets with you and you can reload them in game
only need one mag in the gun
ok thnx
same
tips and tricks pls i keep dying here
i just kept playing tbh
@proven flint i rat , but normally play w a duo im not the greatest but just get really lucky
check every corner
fair. do you play slow?
ive only ever played reserve twice , other than customs is the only map i know
i always rush everywhere i hear gonshots
yeah kind of
gunshots*
big of both
you rush to the gunshot?
nice
it can go either really great, or just ggs
i only do that when i am solo
oof
playing in a squad slows down my gameplay
fear of friendly fire
i would prolly learn map more if you like that kind of playstyle so you know where it is
the fighting
and from that you can pick which angle to hit them
friendly fire is scary asf
i love flanking doe
feels rewarding being able to get behind them and get 2-3 of them

There's this one quest where you need to kill like 15 scavs on shoreline with an AKM varient. Can I use an AKMN? Some people said u can't and some said u could
the punisher pt.1
No. the variant are akmp, akmb and the akm
I used exclusively the AKMN, you can use it.
You can use the AKMN. AKMN with a PSO optic would probably be the best way to do that quest.
ahh thank you
Is there any way to not be instakilled by grenades
I feel like 60% of my deaths are just to a single damn nade
run
what's the best 556 round?
m995?
its the best but try m880
sorry m885
m855a1 is second best for 556. then m856a1. dont use anything else
on interchange do the ambulances have lootable things in them?
quick question, if i find a new melee and I equip it, will I lose it if I die?
also does the crowbar have any benefits other than aesthetics?
weapons do different damage. they are kinda useless except for the ice pick for extracting. you can't lose your equipped melee weapon.
anyone wanna play?
I'm finishing a scav on interchange, i'm new but I'll play
yea game is rough to learn keyboard and mouse on tbh
this shouldnt be your only game if you are new to pc. you need an aim trainer or a casual shooter
anyone under lvl 10?
should i equip a dr1/4x and a 45* 1x scope or a hamr?
Basically, do I need the 1x view on the Elcon?
Is this where I would ask for someone to help me in a raid? I've been trying to reach Jaegers camp for ages
anyone willing to show me the ropes of the game just got it yesterday night?
ok
@lyric briar @violet delta we can trio up and show him the ropes on woods
Im fine with that
oh really
Now?
yes
Oh boy, it's like a roadtrip
thanks guys
what voice channel
idk you choose
lfg woods 2
anyone helping out noobs rn?
low levels rise up!
@brittle torrent still playing bud?
I havent played reserve yet, but I know about the bunker extract, is it viable to wait nect to it and wait for someone to pull the lever?
Anyone wanna help me with task so i can level up to 10?
Yep it's viable but it's not guaranteed that someone will pull it. I've gone entire games of reserve where no one pulled the lever@languid fox
id say best bet is if you have good loot either dump it in the K buildings, in side on of the two long bunkers inbetween the bunker extrances and run and pull the level worst case or wait for train if your really that heavy
yup there dropping since wipe is soon.
i got mine when it was 2mill then it jumped to 4 a week later than went to 6mill i was like wtf
How much is paracord normally
mid wipe 100K+
Okay
nowadays nobody needs it anymore so it drops to 30-40k
Yeah
I see sold my gpu for only 130k...
I was so excited thought it was gonna be lots of cash
It's alright with that amount of time it's still better than holding them than for bitcoins
Mid wipe/ beginning they go for 300K+
Nice
Yea keys are dropping in price as well so its a good time to buy them
I found 2 flash drives sticking out PCs were they any good?
Yep
Oh yea i got a marked room key for under 30k i was surprised....
Thought they were ment to be super expensive
wipes in about a month or so. everything like keys and stuff are going down and prices for gun parts are going up rich chads are stocking up and getting ready for the events
After wipe tho my quests will probably take double the time :*
Such a struggle to reach lvl 10 if ur new...
Esp now that you dont have to examine anything
since they are saving your examine progress
you used to be able to reach level 3/4 before you even start a raid lmao
Yeah nice and not nice at the same time
I think i got everything examined in the game thanks to the flea market
Besides some keys
could use some help
what's a good secondary gun for a maxed out loadout?
five seven
I mean a secondary gun that isn't the pistol slot gun
agreed, second slot is for the chad gun you loot off some poor fuck you slapped into next week
If im doing pmc, I like to go with an AK or something and a shotty on the back. Just me tho
Sorry that was redundant statement. Of course im pmc if Im choosing the loadout bahaha
Nobody runs two primaries
You can do what you want but I have never run across a veteran player who runs 2 primaries unless they are bored and memeing or something
only time i think is sniping/ smg
To each their own, when I was farming sniper levels iwth m700 I would run a p226 with 2 clips of AP rounds
but thats the only time I ever spawn in with multiple weapons
One less spot I have to take someone elses loot
^
Anyone want to help me learn some new maps
what are the best bullets for the mpx, luger cci, RIP or AP 6.3?
idk either the face or legs most people late in the wipe run good armor so it prob wont be good for body shots
rip has the most damage for leg meta
ap has like 20ish pen and 50 damage rip has 100 damage with almost 0 pen
luger is like in between
but for example someone is wearing a slick armor and i use AP can i go through that or is it going to be really hard?
so the smart thing to do is use rip
if you want to use mpx then rip is prob the way to go
ahh okay, thx!
np
dont repeek raiders and be careful of campers in corners
do raiders have aimbot or something?
Is this a good gun should i extract
raiders have aimbot, if they havent seen you yet they are easy targets but once they are locked onto you, you musnt repeek or you will probably get headshotted
always have 4 nades at least for labs they are extremely useful
bad gun, feel free 2 perish
I can never get the damn pocket watch, every time i go for it some players always come up from behind me, any tips?
get a teammate in #pvp-lfg
they will both cover your back, and make sure your stuff comes back in insurance
anyone down to help me get some roubles?
therapist gave me the ambluance marking quest but no ambulance markers, how do i get them?
sweet christmas, why doesnt she tell you you've gotta buy them from him?
not sure if im just stupid but i have died several times to scavs when i am a scav
does anyone know why
the AI scavs will aggro on you if you shoot at any of them
otherwise, you are probably being shot at by other player scavs
yeah that makes sense i can not always tell if its a player scav
from what i learned recently, experienced players can spot the difference right away
especially if you are either looting or in an area where scavs do not normally spawn
otherwise they can usually tell because your movements are not stupid AI movements
i couldnt tell if it was a player because i was next to a ai scav spawn and he was just walking
but i guess overtime like you said more experienced players know straight away
yeah i gave up on trying to blend in as a scav
at one point i even tried using the voice greeting to other scavs the way the AI does
still got shotgunned to the face
unlucky😂
does anyone know y all my post fx stuff has reset
been a unlucky day
looking for someone to play some runs on factory (if 10 minutes if enough for you)
i need tips on learning the game i want to get around the learning faze and become ok at the game its putting me off alot
Follow a rule on improving
Give yourself enough yet not enough time to improve on a certain aspect of the game
wtf u on about hahahah
I mean it helps having that kind of mindset
Ie 2 weeks to improve on a certain part of the game
Looking for someone to help me learn maps
Since i only get 15k from jaeger's first quest. Is it worth buying those food items from the flea or should i find them instead? Buying it all will easily go up to about 150k for such a small reward.....
Or will the next of his quests be better
If I kill a scav as a player scav but I have a silencer will the rest Still Agro me?
Yes
Ok thank you
LF anyone who wants to do runs with a noob
Anyone doing any runs with teh noobs?
Since today's patch I noticed my FPS have been lower. I was getting around 70-90 on reserve and in certain places now I get as low as 55 constant. I feel like my setup should be able to run this game at 100+ frames easily.
On shoreline I was getting constant 100 and now I'm getting 80-90.
Another weird thing is that I have the same fps on 1440p as in 1080p. Isn't that weird?
What’s better 7n1 or SnB for mosin
@spark hawk SnB
for accuracy, is higher or lower mda better?
lower
moa is a measurement of the like
circle of impact the gun has at a certain range
in inches
LF customs guide
looking for resource to learn woods or shoreline, specifically with player flow on these non urban maps/areas, I might as well be blind cuz I can't spot shit on those maps
guys how can I report a cheater?
@spark marlin theres a thread on the eft website and you need a video clip
thanks
no worries
@keen totem just watch some youtube videos on the maps pesitly and slob have pretty good videos about the maps
yeah but they usually cover loot and stuff, my issue is with player flow and spotting them, the later I suppose I just need to play more to get use to non urban maps, the former is where people are going if they spawn X for example
i can try and figure out a way to show you on a map
there needs to be some raid planner tool where you can draw on a map or something, that be neat
ms paint is pretty proficient
@bold kernel https://tarkov-market.com
Price online monitoring, charts, price history on Escape From Tarkov flea market items
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
i thought it was a shit ass key so i didnt feel bad when i died to an extract camper
didn't stuff it up your ass I mean alpha?
rip
used to be 2.2mil
@brisk rain if you are free I got the woods map uploaded to some collab drawing site if you wanna draw some paths for me n explain
@keen totem yeah i can i know some of the main paths and such
https://awwapp.com/b/uk5dhauvcpbpp/# cool, what room
chit chat 2
any experienced woods players here wanna lern some sinpe positions and generally how to snipe
@silver plaza some one drawn me this https://i.imgur.com/LsBzzMr.png when I asked, hope it helps
Are there HD maps out there?
Customs has plenty
whats going on guys?
im looking for some ppl to team up with in EFT all my friends stopped playing cos they are losers lol
Nice map I’ll use that for getting 10 scav kills from 50m with no scope
how do i put up my zeroing distance
pg up/down
thanks also im so confused y is there so much drop off on my fal? i thought zeroing distance fixes it?
the drop is ammo based, not gun based
and the zeroing is also different for each gun, it's based of a default ammo type
no, m80 is good budget
im using m80 and it has so much drop off
for the 308 guns, m61 is the ammo type the zero is based off
theyre all good in terms of bullet velocity
i was looking in my hideout and shooting the farthest tarkget and it has lots of dropoff
dont try and rely on the zero too much
it's more of a crutch rn, caues it just doesnt work as intended
learn distances, stick to one ammo type, learn how that falls etc
ok
should i use sb193 or sb190 for the fiveseven?
SB193 is subsonic
SB193 does 5 more flesh damage than SS190 but SS190 has 2 more pen
is there a particular route thats safe to take to hermetic bunker after the alarm?
Use cliff
i dont have a red rebel
There really isn't a "safe" route
Using hermetic tells anyone who's on the map, "HEY, THERE'S SOME FUCKHEAD GOING TO ONE SPOT"
what is subsonic
Anyone willing to team up with a noob and help level up? 🙇🏻♂️
is the rpk 16 a good weapon?

@rancid turtle I'd suggest looking in there for help ^ if u still need it
I need help with prapor quest 1
Are Luger CGI good for anything?
yes
Legs, that's it
Anyone know the room with the trash bags in the corner in White Pawn on Reserve? Cuz I went back there and now am stuck lmao
press f1
Lol
is the vulkan-5 helmet good?
can't you change your sensitivity?
yea
but your vertical will be more than ur turn speed
so it will be equally wonky
i think thats how it works]
plus you can't hear shit with it on
I was just playing a raid in reserve. I got killed and when I went to the menu to get healed it showed everything was on 3 HP or less. It Also said that I was killed in action and there was no name for the person who killed me. I was killed by gun shots however. Is this a bug or did I come across a hacker or something. otherwise my only explanation is that maybe I could've run out of the map if that is possible.
if you went outside the fence behind train station then yes
yeah that's what I did. Thanks
Pretty much it’s either scav + pmc extract, pull the switch bunker extract, no armor red rebel paracord extract, no backpack sewer extract, and wait for train to come and wait for train to leave extract
guys i'm deadshit scared on labs right now I am fully geared what do I do i am hiding in a room
leave?
leave?
as in, extract
Go downstairs activate some extracts farm raiders then leave
woah cant say i seen that before

Hey, im new to the game and just watched a youtube video on how to make cash, can you still disconnect and keep the stuff in your pouch or did they change that?
The pouch is still there, I guess that answers question
Is the flea market the only place to buy 7.62x39 mags?
@rancid turtle Have you looked through the traders list and not found them? One of the traders sells a 10 round mag at a quick glance for me. Let me know if you need help finding it 🙂
The traders lists are a little overwhelming at first. I like to use the filters (grey icons on the side of the [SHOWCASE]). Filter by magazines and you should find what you're looking for.
Prapor L2 sells a 30 rounder.
I did a lot more tasking this wipe than any I tried before and I learned that some of them unlock purchase options for traders.
@reef jewel You'll always keep your scabbard and your pouch after a raid.
@rugged onyx yeah i didn't see one in the the traders so i figured it was locked behind the flea market
Guys what's the best way to convert euro or dollars to rub?
I want to waste 10keuro and 5k $ on weapons
Looking for a hand to get Jaeger unlocked.
Do you got the task?
i once shoveled a man trying to do that quest
What's the difference between gen4 Full and the Assault variant
It´s my first day into the game, what gameplay related stuff should I know, should I go on a raid with the default ak-74u or go only knife or with a pistol, or play each 20 mins with the scav, also, i dont understand whats the difference between scavs on some maps, are them like bots or they are players?
Scavs are mostly AI, however when you play as a scav you take over one in a map, so a few are players.
Can any computer on interchange spawn with a usb?
anyone willing to help me through the first shitty customs tasks? i am new and bik nub
Is the wiki the best source for up to date maps? Currently im looking for a good Factory map as I'm trying to learn it
Can lpsgzh 1 shot a chest with lvl3 armor? It says on the ballistics graph but ive never done it in game
Yea wiki has the best source of maps google works too, but most are teh same maps
@short pike yes
does anyone have any tips for safely getting to emercom checkpoint
i am consistently dying trying to extract there
seems like i can never spot anyone that's around that area
Dont go to the right go torwards the left
So when someone shoots you have some sort of cover
i didn't have much cover going on the left side just some tiny hills and trees
if i prone i can't see anyone shooting me, just died trying to extract on emercom again
saw a guy and thought i was covered enough but he one shot me in the head instantly
what is the best way to learn maps?
play them over and over and over
multi or offline?
either one works
offline gets a bit boring though
the risk of losing gear helped me learn a map a bit better though
ok
The thing is. I am a low level player and when i walk around, suddenly i drop bcs of an svd or i get sprayed by a as-val or vss xD
Not so easy to learn the map that way haha
i feel you bro xd
im ratting it up in customs lol
Is there any reason to not chug a condensed milk and take a propital to dehydrate and get healing xp when doing The Guide? to help avoid run through status
what's a decent, cheap body armor?
wish me luck boiz, if i fail this task attempt i'm going to be running pistols on customs all night
last kit
gl
At least Class 3 😄
inb4 i get spawn killed
but you will get seen from the other side of the map
well.. Good luck!
bless ya
so um if they have like class 1-3 armor, how many knife stabs would it take to kill them?
Hopefully the new expansion will help with customs
Do i have to find the cans of beef stew in raid for the Jaeger "Acquaintance" quest?
Already have the required amount and even bought one off market but I dont have option to turn in. Although looking at the wiki the photo of beef stew is different than whats on market. are there two types?
If it says find in raid then yes
and there are two types
a small one and a big one
the quest require the big one/tall
Does not require found in raid, you got the wrong one
Ah i see. am i not able to buy from market? looking up tushonka doesnt bring up anything and beef stew is only short can
thank you nonetheless
should be in there, just under another name i believe
how can i get some sherpa assigned?

Is 7n37 good ammo for mosin? Or just use 7n1
lps but if you have money to blow 7n1 the increase in pen and damage isnt worth it for the price difference imo
7n1
is there a good map for fast night kills?
i see 0-1 in factory night and it takes a while to find them camping
do u guys know the wipe date?
ok ty
is their anyway to get the filters back again
And why was it removed and how were ''cheaters'' using it?
if you do a scav run online do you still kill scavs and players or are other scavs friendly ive only done one offline pmc run im trying to figure out how everything works
Other Scavs are friendly unless you kill a Scav
but there are other pmc players right
yes
okay thanks
@acoustic timber only way is use ingame post fx
It was being abused so you can see perfectly at night for example
anyone down to teach me customs?
from experience the best way to learn a map is running it a bunch of times but also use a map of the internet
theres some pretty good ones
I just don't get it. I ADS someone about 50~ yards away.. maybe 40, and I just feel like I can't hit them at all. Like I had peak advantage on a guy an entire gun fight, I always knew where his head was gonna peak, and had more than enough time to have my (iron) sight right on his head, but nothing connected at all
I might just need to record my game and watch what the hell I am doing wrong
record a game so we can watch whats going on too
maybe ur just bad
Iron sights suck, your aim moves and with iron sights it’s nearly impossible to know where your shot went, I highly recommend using an optic of some kind since it provides a much clearer view of your target
irons are zerod for 100m
usually
so
take that with your gaming
if youre aiming head with irons sometimes that shit just sails over their head
i have a fast mt on with a face shield and the face shield only has 1 damage off it and it has a massive bullet hole is there a way to get rid of this
no
ok
you have to sell it and buy a new one
can someone help me with quests
Anyone want to help me out with Humanitarian Supplies?
Need to kill scavs while wearing blue
Game is boring solo
@west warren what quests
anyone want to help me do lab runs?
it also depends on the helmet cause some headsets can combo with helmets other headsets cant
yeah also the black sports headsets cant do any exclusive combos like the others so they arent worth it that much
gotcha
!sherpahub
@blissful lagoon thanks man!
@pseudo veldt yes
would it be good on labs
@pseudo veldt VSS is good on any map
no that bullet type
Yes it will drop them fast
so it would have almost no difference with the 9x39 bp ammo
that is 3 times as expensive
@kindred mesa np ❤️
Hi any one up to Scav/PMC soon ? Im lvl 6

In the pre-wipe situation is it worth to use Igolnik over BS for 5.45x39? Or is BS still better?
i just found this on a scav , what is it ?
@final meadow bs best
@pale fossil quest item also sells fro a decent amount
200k
Heavy thoug h
any tips on figuring out the distance when sniping?
(besides the obvious "get better")
use tracer ammo you'll see where it lands?
if thats what u mean with distances etc :p
using bolt actions atm, harder with these I guess
what do you mean harder?
trying to get used to most of weapons before wipe
you shoot, before you see the hit, you reload and don't see through sight
harder to "aim" via tracers
ohh but i'm pretty sure u can stop the reload so u can see ur bullet travel i see a lot of people stare before they pull their reload with bolts
oh, gotta research this; ty
goodluck

@flat ocean Hold down mouse 1 after you click it
When you use a mosin this will keep you ADS'd after you fire one round, the mosin will not eject the round and load a new one until you release mouse 1 after clicking to fire :)

@flat ocean usually this means youre boosting trader level
it would be massive waste of money, you get more than 16k back from 166 pairs from trader
was related to Varo's question about selling in bulk
it gives you hip fire accuracy and is harder for other players to see
It has the same effect as a laser but it's pretty much invisible
@somber thunder its not proven
Also @long haven you really don't need to post that in 4 different chats
sowwy
What isnt proven?
any tips for tarkov shooter part 8?
im bad with mosins/positioning and w/e has to do with woods
@gloomy rose that one took me a couple days to do, just hang around the sawmill
k e y
whats the best ammo for ak-74m
so looks like i started at a good time due to wipe, stuck at level 3
@mint roost BS/7N39
@lethal epoch learn the quests and the maps
stuck on a quest for prapor lol
which one
debut lol
ive turned in the shotguns, need 2 more scav kills at customs
slow progress with no friends who play this
2 scav kills is easy, you just have to know where Scavs spawn
Whiiich, given that your new, I suppose you don't
lfg to play with, i just hit lvl 10. down for interchange or customs
is the pp 19 still good budget gun for labs
yea
make sure to get em in the face or leg them
might struggle against players but pretty much any gun is good against raiders.
It's impossible to find people for this game
also always headshot
game is dumb when shooting anywhere else
body can take 30 bullets while head only takes 1
even if ammo pens
uh ok
are mosins always one taps to the chest?
no
cause they always just seem to go right through armor
no
If the SV-98 didn't have trigger delay no one would use the Mosin
true. The mosin should have a bunch of fucking trigger delay but it doesn't so why should the SV-98
Any advice on how to fix the issue of being shot in bushes while completely covered and having not moved in a while (from other players)?
I was in a ravine so they couldn't see me from a distance, they had to walk up on me to see me, and they shot me in a ton of foliage just me laying there on the ground.
No, I'm simply saying that it's apparent that they can see me through dense bushes, while I cannot see them. I considered LOD issues, but isn't LOD related to the distance from the player? Not when someone's say 30ft away
youre not safe unless your cover is solid
move a lot
they can probably see you too, if theyre 30ft away
and looking
I'm not arguing, because I'm a beginner and I don't know for sure, but we were testing last night (a group of us) after being annoyed with it happening to us a few times. I'd get in a bush/bushes where none of them could see me from any angle and I'd just lay there and wait and maybe 5... 7... 10 minutes would pass and then suddenly a random shot, sometimes long, sometimes 30ft, just random would kill me from someone who decided I was there.
idk ive done that before
something just tells me to look in a bush cause someones in there, and turns out they are.
like i literally have no reason to check, but i had the feeling
I've done that before as well, and I'm sure it seems like I'm a bitter, "oh man I died." but nah, I'm a guy trying to make sure that I'm not missing some big glaring issue/fix that I need to do prior to making real runs.
just dont hide in bushes, if you do, dont assume youre safe
dont stick there for long
heal or whatever you need and move along
I guess I should also explain, no one was chasing me or anything like that.
Perhaps I'm giving off the impression that someone was on the hunt for me.
statement still stands
If they were on the hunt for me, they'd have shot my buddies who were walking around looking for me. Instead after verifying they couldn't see me, they'd walk off to extraction on our SCAV run.
with prewipe soon, people are giving less of a shit about money. expect more thermals and stuff i guess.
AHH
Thermals?
You might have just said the magic word that would explain it? LOL
So, people can see heat signatures in the game?
yeah
Gotcha, that makes a lot more sense then.
If you have a thermal scope yes, don't trust bushes, this isn't fortenight. If you don't have some hard cover you are usually going to have a bad time
cheats are also possible lmao
Well, I know cheats are an issue, but I don't want to call cheats until I actually have enough game experience to identify the difference.
Yea, but I will say that isn't all the time
and man.. Fortnite, trying to insult me man? 🙂
ngl i hate bushes, why i played on labs
Nah, in all seriousness though, I've won games in PubG and other games by knowing how to hide, it's just something I'm checking the mechanics on in Tarkov at the moment. 🙂
Where as, one of my buddies is a firm believer like you, "If it's not a rock, don't bother since someone will shoot you."
this game isnt a battle royale
No, I know that.
idk why ratting got super popular
Ratting?
Oh
not actually playing or pvping
nikita loves to nerf the people that like to play his game tho
so being a good pvper has downsides now
Well, at least for me it's about trying to get gear and then take that gear in and play as my PMC.
good way of thinking
So, I run as a SCAV, try to get a little bit of gear (not the best), but enough to go into an area like Factory and kill a SCAV as a PMC.
dont forget to do your quests ;))
Then, go into a Factory run, in hopes of killing 1-2 SCAVs before a better player dominates me.
That's one of my quests, kill 5 scavs, get 2 of their shotguns. 😦
lol
But I've only managed to kill 3 before I ran out of reasonable gear.
yeah dont play factory
ive not lived through a factory in a long time
I liked Shoreline a little better until I started getting Rando-sniped
Oh, and until I fell off a building (lag), broke my crotch and chest.... eventually bled out while I was reaching my hand out to hit extraction. LOL
That was a humorous one of for my friends on Discord... "Wait... you broke your pelvis????" "Yeah man..."
ill see myself out
But yeah, I appreciate the feedback guys.
get it because humerus is a bone hahahahahahaha i hate myself
Aww... I'll repeat what I'm always being told. "It's not funny if you have to explain why it should be funny." To which I say... "YEAH WELL IF YOU'D LAUGH I'D KNOW YOU GOT IT!"
lol wew, successful SCAV run, got some loot.
One thing that seems fairly obvious to me, but maybe I'm wrong is, going in as a group is advantageous to not getting destroyed overall, since it decreases the number of combative PVP player slots?
yes and no
I would say solo to 2 player squad is the most advantages, sure a full squad means less opponents, but 5 people have each their individual play style, and which means you are forced to follow someone's playstyle. Also yelling commands and figuring out where the entire team is, is a hassle
playing in a very well coordinated group will dominate, no matter how big. But for most normal chaps i think 2-3 is the best group size. Even then, being in a group has its downsides.
A group that isnt coordinated will get picked off by a competent solo.
Even if you are coordinated, a solo can still easily weave around the environment and pick you off.
Being in too big of a group is a massive disadvantage unless youre like realllly good with each other.
Interesting.
or shroud lma
You're loud, cant distinguish stranger footsteps easily etc
also in a bigger group you can split 2/3 and take a building faster
imo thats the one of if not the only advantage a 5 man has
comms are nessecary
example dorms
one group splits onto 3 story and the other onto 2
or split and clear rooms 1 by 1
a great 5 man can take over a map, anything less than great is uh idk a bunch of bumbling idiots that are gonna get picked off.
We play together a fair amount, not on this game, but on others. That said, I can see the disadvantages, we ran into a lot of... "Hey is that you..?"
LOL
In which case a Solo can say... "Shoot anything that moves!"
yep.
exactly, as solo you don't have to think about teammates, don't have to think about getting mates stuff to safety and such
most people i speak to agree that 3 is the best amount of people in a group.
also its not the easiest for most but if you can remember your friends appearance slightly. but also just letting your teammates know where you're entering and exiting
But yeah, I was just assuming that a Shroud... or in our case, a Generic Shroud could easily own any of us singularly, so we might as well hope that there's 1 less shroud by loading 3 of us. 😛
3 is big enough to have a lot of map control, but not too messy
most times i see squads play because theyre not great individually so they rely on numbers, at least in the lab.
I guess I'd say, it sounds like as a team you increase the survival rate of a single individual, but decrease the survival rate of individuals as a whole.
isolate into 1v1s and youve got a 5 man wipe.
nothing is ever set in stone in this game
other than not use shit ammo. that definitely the only thing set in stone.
So, while solo you might have a chance of .5 (50/50) to survive, but in a 3man, you've still got a 50/50 rate to survive, BUT... you've only got a .125 (12.5%) rate that all of you survive. 😛
Shit ammo? lol
Any advice on selling my crap vs hoarding?
hoard found in raid quest stuff that could be hard to find
sell anything you wont use
immediately
sell anything thats common, or cheap.
sell bad ammo
uhhh
common is just shit you see everywhere
like 30 rounder ak mags
thats common stuff
Sorry I'm asking a lot of questions, but I promise to pay it forward and explain to my three newb friends.
Gotcha
So, just learning as we go.
what levell are you?
!ammo
you really should be using 7.62 PS at that stage
best ammo you can get
cheap
anything else is subpar at that level
like, by a lot.
at least from traders
if you find something better from a player or in raid then cool
AKS74Us spawn with a mag of decent ammo thats always full
R700 scavs have great ammo
It looks like I should dis-assemble any gun before selling it off, does that seem true?
Scavs with fal too
yes disassemble for most profit
unload mags
hard to find barter items would usually be saved for quest later on, but as we're close to wipe, might as well just sell them
lmao dont sell the potential good ammos
actually, if you can get T45M and its cheaper, you can use that too. its a tracer but it performs pretty close to PS 7.62
Any way to sort the inventory quicker? LOL
get good at tetris
I'm great at fitting stuff in, I just hate that random items are next to random items, are next to random items... 🙂
That's okay though, it doesn't bother me as much as it bothers my friends. My headset feels like it's sweating from all their tears coming through.
make an area for stuff you don't touch or rarely touch, leave the top for stuff found in raid
When's this wipe you keep making reference to?
mid-end of this month
which is why you'll mostly see players running heavily geared as they have to burn through all their money
pretty much not the best moment for new players to start
Ahh
Actually sounds like a great time to start
2-3 weeks to get into the game, understand it... and then when things reset, we're all on common ground!
save up some money.
sure, use the time to learn loot spots, quest items, which barter items are quest items so you don't sell them right away.
youll get maxed traders, and everything will be cheap in prewipe.
you'll be able to taste chad gameplay
How do I remove ammo from a magazine?
right click and go to unload
Hmm that didn't show up, interesting.
or just unload ammo
then the mag is empty
what does it say on the bottom right corner?
ok right click it and find where it says "unload ammo"
Magazine, is it an issue of me being too low level? Or perhaps we can't do that in our Stash, but have to put it on our character?
Hmmm
and you dont need a certain level to unload a mag lol
no you can still unload in the vendors
Weird, then I have no idea! As soon as I went to the character screen it's there.
It's not there when I'm in the Fence
no you cannot unload in vendors
in character menu only, and if in raid you unload 1 bullet at a time and making noise remember that
you can unload in vendors, the ammo just goes into your player inventory
iirc you cant
hacker! 😉
Seriously though, when I'm in a vendor the "unload" option doesn't show up when I right click. 😦
It shows Inspect and stuff, but no "unload"
i dont remember the ability to unload either
Mine shows, Inspect, Insure, Filter by Item, Linked Search, Required Search
Discard
anyone wanna help a stoner complete introduction
what strain you on tho
hybrid
better not be that reggie
can only smoke ak47 when playing tarkov, you know the drill
okok icu
spyder you know whatchu doin in tarkov?
Correct me if I'm wrong but spending the 13.1k on Peacekeeper is most efficient by buying 2000 dollars and buying the pistol he sells and then sell it back to him
That's what I did. Most of his other items are either too cheap to get anywhere fast, or have a cap on how many you can buy in one restock.
I think the cap is like 5
uhhh
what i did was buy stanags, resell on flea for a profit
small profit, but at least i didnt lose money
next wipe you wont be able to do that so i guess itll be a overall lose
is anyone up to teach a scrub one on one how to play the game, plz just DM or @ me
im trying to do the 10 or 12 kills with a suppressed shotgun vs PMCs quest for skier -- whats the best ammo? flechette? ap?
i thought it was the other way around
AP=stands for armor piercing, would make sense that would be for pen
!AMMO
need tips for killing scavs on custom, i know my way around the map fairly well by now but still keep getting clapped by players
also a really really cheap loadout for customs
preferably close-mid range
looking for help with some loot runs,
@bold kernel use the hunter
The 7.62x51 one
Use M80, and use the 10 round mags
I’m not sure but the gun, mags, and some ammo is probably 40-60k
M80 can also be good against players
only problem is you cant get any of that from lvl 1 traders
^
can i loot assault scopes anywhere or do I have to buy from traders?
can get it off of flea market i guess but i'm on 10k and i wanna get my tasks done, cba to scav run
sks with cobra sight and extended mag is cheaper than that
like 40-50k
ps ammo does fine it seems
only problem is my survivability in games, i get shit on every time
for some reason my pistol runs end up better than geared ones
don't have gear fear either so makes no sense
hope they fix level 1 traders
what's the problem with em?
they're very limited, but that's kinda the point
i just extracted on a scav run with 40 seconds left and just got the "run through" exit status. Did i spawn in late or skmethinf?
Something
you didn't take/deal any damage.
okay thanks
best mosin bullet for killing geared boise ?
decent bullet. Great aim.

snb if you're aiming at lvl 6 armors
lps is enough for lvl 5 and has double "critical" chance
uhhhh
depending on the gun
7n1 for mosins and SV98. SNB for SVDS
thats a given.
go for headers with the bolties.
bodies are fine if class 4 and under. although some class 4 tank 7n1.
aight thank you guys
anyone trying to play?
nah im just trying to do tarkov shooter part 8 and im struggling as hell cincinattus
wheres the best place to sell this shit (im lv3)
hold the labs card until you are 10
everything else, therapist
or barter with them
keep the keycard, circuit board and cpu for quests later, flea the rest
some traders will give you items for your items. Like 2x of those HDDs can get 60 round mags from proper lvl 2. But they arent too hard to get.. i would just trade em off to therapist until you hit level 10, then start flea marketing that stuff
Kills dont show up on your killfeed if its after you die right?
Pretty sure i died to a kid but killed him with a vog caused he declined my fr like 30 seconds later :c
How much is stash space useful in the long run? When I see screenshots of people's stashes, they have a bunch of free space thanks to containers, is there no point in looking for ways to increase the size of my stash?
idk man
for a long time standard people been stuck with same stash
make do with really good stash organization
depends if you're a horder or not, stash space is usually only a issue with people that have gear fear and dont use what they pick up, or the chads that never die
get a lucky scav junkbox early for quest items and crafting stuff
stash space is super useful in my opinion. But ya theres ways around some of the limitations like not being able to fit certain containers in a thicc case but you can if you put them in a backpack then put them in the thicc
Can you die in one shot to the arm? I died in one shot and the final screen said lethal damage to thorax with bloodloss in arm. how does that work?
if damage overflows and your thorax is low on health
also nikita said on podcast the other day that bullets can go through your arm to your thorax
its probably the second one then
Anyone trying to play?
going solo is fun. thats what im doing RN
I like duo. feels good to have someone trying to safe your stuff or trade killing 😄
what are challenges? like quests or? sry still kind ofnew
ah, Im eu server. what about you?
im NA. I forgot i play on times that everyone else in the world is on but my server
haha
yeah i play 10pm to about 7 am in mountain time in US
yea that s late. it s 9.40 am here atm
idk which server we would be on if we squaded up
question
possibly have an answer
ive found a few tetriz's while running reserve and im wondering if i should trade them in for bitcoins or something else?
you can either sell them on the market or compare bitcoin prices on interchange
on flea market*
bitcoin is worth more
i would just trade and then sell
but im wondering if i need tetriz for a quest?
@south wren is it cool if i join yall?
Oof
Which one is better the 5.45 bp or bt?
Bt
Bt by a long shot. Though it is a tracer round so take that into consideration. I'd recommend paying more for BS
jeez factory at night is the darkest place i have ever seen
and yet you die to players with no night vision and cranked up gamma 😛
I sustained a fracture on a raid, didn't selec the "full heal" option at the end. Now, my character is fully healed, however the fracture is in place...
Is this a bug? Do I have to fix it somehow?
splint
should be the cheapest option
or you can wait, it will fix after some time
Yes, but splint is until you heal... Correct?
it removes the fracture
👌
nah actually i died to a night vision thicc player Bucz
look for someone to play customs way im new to game need help lerning it dm me if you are willing to help me thanks

Hey! Any experienced players want to do the punisher quests with me?
both have ups and downs
if you want absolute best performance, the exfil
the fast mt is a cheaper option
but you can still get shot clean through the eyes and have no chance to deflect or ricochet any shots
What the button to quickly move stuff out of your inventory
ctrl + click
how, what button do I press to make my character do the noise like hes is orgasmn?
y if hurt, F1 to mumble
Exfil must have paid a LOT of money to make their helmet so good.
Considering the face shield is class IV despite it being a non ballistic paper-thin riot accoutrement.
i'm sure team wendy didn't pay them anything lol
ANy new player tht needs help with maps and pvp tips feel free to dm me
they seem to just arbitrarily make up the gear stats since a lot of them irl are actually pretty bad but in game are god tier
looking at you hera arms
Ehhhh. Hera arms as as good as you can get in califucked states.
You mean like the VAL/VSS recoils? lmao
oh i know it's not bad if you're stuck in california but it increasing ergonomics and lowering recoil is comical lol
buffer tube adding accuracy lol. i get it though they have to do something to differentiate the parts
YEah, it's goofy.
the gear whore in me just has to wince a bit when i'm sticking on a minus recoil buffer tube lol
