@main goblet do offline mode first before doing labs labs should be ur last map to worry about learn maps such as customs interchange woods shoreline first

lvl 13 in labs going big haha. i didn't even play that map until i was maybe lvl 25 or 30. but so close to wipe it doesn't matter i suppose
atomic heath
labs offline with horde raiders is fun
hearty tide
oh yeah for sure. i played it offline but never went in online until at least 25.

helps you learn the map and how to escape/deal with stress when playing it online

and raiders are no joke. they're so rng they're more scary than human players
you never know if they're gonna be a potato or a god
atomic heath
I've learned that you usually can get off a shot or two before they hit you
so try ot hit the head and then run like hell
lusty harness
^^ honestly does my head in when you can walk up to one and kill it with a knife but another one will randomly headshot you
or they miss like a mag and then you peak for .1 seconds and get tapped in the head

yeah most of the time they're no problem but then you will get that one fuckin rambo raider
rushes you while reloading
hearty tide
comes sliding through the door like michael jackson spraying you down

like literally sprayed my head clean off didnt miss a bullet and the njust turned round and pissed off

yeah killing him for that quest was filled with hilarious moments

scav reserve, gets you good bullets if you can extract
Scav extracts on reserve are more forgiving than PMC
Id PMC interchange, so many different items and corners to use to hide if you hear someone; e z ambush and 'okay' extractions as PMC @main goblet
Collect BT/BS/BP ammo for 5.45 and BP 7.62 ammo from reserve, if you're new these ammunition types are a rare, deadly and expensive find :)

mint eagle
why is the op-sks twice as expensive as the sks even though it has worse ergo and higher mda? (higher mda is worse right?)
vital mortar
Because the Op-sks is more customizable
By mda do you mean the MOA? higher is more accurate
flat cipher
no, lower is
the number is a like
measurement of the circle of impact in inches or someting
so the smaller the number, the smaller the area of impact
mint eagle
Ooooh I getit now.
flat cipher
a low moa is a must for long range weaponry
mint eagle
Oh ok so like snipers would have it low then
flat cipher
yes
because theyre able to see the circle of impact at a higher range
but a sidearm, wouldnt
so having a higher moa is more desirable

same here

ik but offline doesnt teach you player tendencies
sullen kernel
but im willing to pick off scavs if they give me the chance
bold kernel
offline is helpful to a certain extent
bold kernel
the best way to learn maps its to just play them and die alot, thats how most of us learn the maps
untold wagon
to //learn// them, i watch pestily and other youtubers overview of the maps, do an offline run to follow along, then hop online
lol im firmly in that process rn
bold kernel
i mean dying and losing sucks but you learn alot from it, like "thats where people sit, ill look there next time"

either come across dumbasses with flashlights or sweatys with top tier gear
theyll mainly be going for big loot spawns tho
like woodmill
untold wagon
i literally just hug the edge of the map trying to avoid the lumberyard
raw vault
so keep towards rural areas, careful of scavs and the occasional out of place pmc
untold wagon
the big issue spot for me is this one choke point
raw vault
where is that?
untold wagon
not entirely sure the name of it, but its the rock that is in a clearing thats in the middle section, towards the edge of the map
no way to stay in the trees, so i cross in the open and get ganked from idfk where
raw vault
your best bet would be to take the long way, i mean i dont know exactly what you are talking about but if you keep dying my advice would be do whatever it takes to avoid the routes that kill you, even if it takes a bit longer to get through
one of the things that annoys me in this game is the running around on maps like woods and shoreline
raw vault
oh yeah that can be bad
my advice is hug the wall, because there really is no tree cover
untold wagon
thats about the best you can do haha

you can barely see the red circle of the ir light

can someone explain to me like im slow what the players number means and how many AI/player scavs are included, if at all? like if shoreline is 10-13, is that PMCs only at spawn or does that include player scavs both at spawn and later on in match?
talk to me real simple, its alright lol

can someone explain to me like im slow what the players number means and how many AI/player scavs are included, if at all? like if shoreline is 10-13, is that PMCs only at spawn or does that include player scavs both at spawn and later on in match?
@wraith tide
If shorelines total player count is 10-13 on the loading screen before raid; that is the limit of PMC's
scavs can be any number on top of that 10-13, so technically you could have 13+ players depending how many player scavs come in, im not sure of the upper limit.
wraith tide
ok that makes sense, thank you @strong barn so then, where can I find this information? if Im going into a map I'd like to haev an estimate of AI/player scavs. also, is there a way to find out at what times new scavs spawn in?
strong barn
Nope :)
10m after the start of the raid, is the limit for player scavs to begin spawning.
wraith tide
lol
strong barn
Ex. Reserve is 50m raid, Player scavs can spawn in at around 40-41m left in the raid mark :
wraith tide
so PMCs spawn in at start, and then 10minutes later player scavs begin spawning in?
strong barn
Yes.
Potentially, if any are trying.
Factory is different because its so short
Always keeps us guessing :D
wraith tide
and how long of a window do players have to spawn into a map before they get bumped into the next... lobby? i guess?
strong barn
whenenver the game decides the threshold is met
If the map says 10-13 PMC's, it can start with 10 PMC's or 11 PMC's or 12 PMC's, or 13 PMC's in any configuration of teams
i.e. 1 one team, two 2 man teams and a 5 man = 10 people
Shoreline can begin in this case
or it may put a few more in, no one knows.
wraith tide
i guess i meant player scavs - like if i click ready and get in at first scav spawn, and a friend of mine just sits and waits to click ready for x amount of time - will he come into my game later on or will he begin the next start? i think makes sense lol
strong barn
Facotry is almost always 5 players or 6 players. Never more, never less. If you are solo, you have a chance to get a 5 man enemy team, or a 3 man + 2 man team in the same factory man. You could also have 6 solo players 🤷
strong barn
Its random for the players scavs interms of lobby
You and your friend can que simultaneously, solo and get into two different raids
strong barn
The bottom left of your screen; when you are in game---tells you a lobby code
this is how to identify if you are in the same lobby
strong barn
time left in raid is irrelevant
those 4 digit config?
@wraith tide
Yes.
wraith tide
worrrrrd
wraith tide
ok so then i understand that player list is just a lobby of people waiting to click ready, but if, say, 20 people all click ready at once - how does the lobby decide who to put into the same raid?
strong barn
Randomness
wraith tide
ooh yeah thats just people LFG
strong barn
When you are
'matching' before raid
you are in a que, and the server is waiting to see how many people que behind you
then it configures what teams go where based on whatever algorithm BSG uses 🤷
i have no idea
LOL
Theres no skill based matchmaking or anything
Level 1's can be paired with a 5 man team of level 50+'s
main goblet
could someone help me learn reserve?
strong barn
watching streamers talk about how the game works; i.e. verita's specifically. A lot I am inferring due to past experiences with coding and stuff.
For example, everytime you move an item in your stash that items movement has to be sent to the server telling it you moved the item, confirming its new location and finally placing it.
This happens in a fraction of a second but it is why you cannot load Tarkov without an internet connection + why you may experience lag in the stash or main menu. The entire game is online 24/7 and its all intertwined.

I'm doing scav runs on interchange to learn the map and taking breaks in between while I work from home. If you'd like to join me I'll be in 3 man squad #8
wraith tide
so Im looking at the map screen and it says Reserve is 30min, but its not?
strong barn
Pretty amazing what BSG has done to be honest.
Reserve can be 40-50m
I havnt played it much
wraith tide
right but why does it say 30 mins next to the players # thing
wraith tide
lol
strong barn
Someone could maybe elaborate more regarding that, I do not know
With more experience in Reserve
strong barn
I had scav'd into a reserve raid at 41m left
wraith tide
woods 25min
flat cipher
45 mins on reserve
They changed the timers relatively recently, I dont think they changed the map ones
analog fulcrum
at some point this wipe the raid timers had been reduced, then after some time they upped the timers again, maybe they forgot to up the timers in the maps screen
edit: harry beat me to it -_-

Can anyone help me out w reserve 🙂
sharp surge
I could use some help with Reserve, I'm not dumb, I know the map/callouts pretty well and I have some keys and stuff, I just want to learn the map better and learn the extracts and just get better in general
bold kernel
what map gives good gear besides labs
also why are there a lot of hackers in this game?
Reserve
split vapor
but there is really isnt tbh anyways
bold kernel
Yea honestly feel it has gone down
desert hull
@bold kernel define good gear
bold kernel
@desert hull rare stuff
bold kernel
rare guns that you usually see in the market
desert hull
like what
bold kernel
anything
desert hull
bruh
kind sequoia
think like m4 then
bold kernel
what about roubles where can I find a lot of those
bold kernel
ok sounds good thanks
desert hull
if you want loot and thats it, learn one of these three maps: Interchange, Reserve, Shoreline
all 3 are pretty easy to get full of loot on
bold kernel
factory gets full loot too
bold kernel
ya when you kill all the scavs
desert hull
that isnt "loot"
thats scav gear
and factory is a PvP map
if you go there looking for looting you're going to get smoked
bold kernel
all maps are pvp maps my friend
bold kernel
ya
desert hull
theres a difference between factory and the other maps
south wren
@arctic garnet you dont really find many static rouble spawns around the map however certain maps have better loot than others like interchange tech stores spawn tertris and graphics card or reserve alot of paracord spawns and other military loot
desert hull
you only go to factory to PvP
meaning everyone there will be geared for it and you aren't going to be ready for it
vital mortar
Purpose of factory is pvp/fighting, thus you won't find anything valuable. Other maps have stuff that can sell for way more than a gun
south wren
factory IMO is not a map for making money
desert hull
whereas on the other larger maps you can scoot by without seeing players
if you play right
raw vault
i make tons of money off factory but thats mainly because i fucking obliterate every person i find there
desert hull
then you probably aren't a new player
and you're doing PvP and stealing player's gear
raw vault
no yeah i mean i got the game a couple weeks ago so im fairly new i just find factory the easiest to pvp on
bold kernel
"the ways of the darkside he follows"
raw vault
pvp is so fun in this game
desert hull
if you have the gear to do PvP its great
but lower levels are enticed to go there because "it's the small easy map to learn"
not realizing its the juiced kid pvp hotspot
raw vault
yeah when i started out i ran like no armor and shitty ammo and was confused as to why i died lmao
i didnt think armor or ammo was THAT important
desert hull
even some veteran players dont think it is
armor that is
but it covers your mistakes
which is valuable if you, like everybody else, make misplays
raw vault
there was one time i ran into factory with an airframe and got one tapped by a scav tho
still angers me to this day
desert hull
unlucky but thats why faceshields are nice
raw vault
usually i get a shitload of gear in factory then try to take down the boss in customs but i always manage to either die or just kill players and leave with their gear before i make it there
like i killed this guy with a fully decked out m4
spark hawk
Customs is straight cancer! Really hope the expansion helps
spark hawk
To linear. No matter what way you go your always Gunna run into peeps or just get sniped from across the map
desert hull
I don't know if the expansion will change that
the point of the expansion to my knowledge is giving rashala his own part of the map
spark hawk
Still cancer 😂
Only map I go in and die 90% of the time without shooting a single bullet
desert hull
more than factory?
gentle stratus
Factory is easy if you do it right XD
desert hull
with great gear yeah
gentle stratus
not even. if you are ratting then you can get some okay gear then run. rinse and repeat till you are rolling in fat stacks.
spark hawk
I can run factory with just a pistol and at least kill 1 player
desert hull
factory doesnt give good loot
gentle stratus
and night factory is insane.
desert hull
its a pvp map
gentle stratus
you get basic nvgs. And an okay gun. And try to make plays on all the super fat pmcs that hang around there.
clever heron
Just run a gun with 50 flashlights and the nvg boys can't do shit but be blind

w8, is customs getting an expansion next patch?

dude i run pistol no armor on factory and get 3 kills atleast

@bold kernel Customs is getting a rework!
desert hull
@slate sierra you looking for someone to just help or a duo partner
red flicker
Factory is worth-while only if you're able to kill other PMCs that are geared or steal the loot off of other people's kills, otherwise you have slim pickings running Factory
And farming scavs is good there too

so is it because that there is a wipe soon that most people are running 800+ ruble bullets? or is it normal?

800 rouble bullets sound normal
1500-2000k top tier bullets are inflated because of wipe
but with market changes who knows if it'll stay like this after wipe

it can restore any limb

no open heart surgery in the middle of a raid
white forge
so nothing can fix a thorax?
thick harness
no its your lungs and heart.
white forge
makes sense
thick harness
im suprised they even let it fix the stomach
bold kernel
i mean if you have to fix your lungs or heart, you should be dead

Only way a thorax can get blacked is a bleed out
blacked without dying i should say

what is the best map for a beginner?
A lot of people told me reserve and I also heard customs
silver hornet
Interchange and Shoreline
Customs is a good map to learn
Reserve is also good but there's either a lot of sweaties or a lot of hatchlings
bold kernel
reserve is best map
raw vault
Facts
cunning cipher
I just ran into a other player scav and did the wiggle and we became buddies for the match. It was short lived as an actual player came by and killed me short after.

I usually wiggle at hatchlings then when they stand still i execute them

The best part about this game is the learning and the first experiences, make it last as long as you can

its a crazy fun map tho

also difficult to learn and cannot find a map that makes sense to me
bc multiple floors

At a certain point you have to just accept you will not be able to clear every angle and need to react if necessary

but thats about it

and somtimes you gonna die

im god at call of duty, like top 1700 in the world, but this game is just not clicking for me

Ive had the game for a couple days now, ive watched a couple like 40 minute long video tutorial and am fairly sure i understand most of the basics but combat is what im finding difficult, what's an effective way to practice it
bold kernel
honestly i hard core just did PVE for like a month after losing all my gear like all noobs do going into factory day 1 with Fort armor and all your guns hanging off your belt. just ran the maps over and over on PVE to get used to weapon recoil, control, and how the AI acts. You dont lose your gear and its a good way to learn the maps
bold kernel
look up maps online and if you have a 2nd monitor put the map up and play that way for a while

you can get killed thinking you hear something in a SPECIFIC direction
