raven fiber

subtle wing
#

@finite jetty Im in the same boat you are. To the point Im just running mosins and bank robbers. Though now my scav runs arent producing anything

haughty iron
#

Don't get it some things I found in a raid are marked found in a raid and some others aren't

#

While I found them in the same raid

#

Wtf

fallen hollow
#

do you need them found it raid?>

#

haughty iron
#

Yes I need em found in raid for a quest

#

Nop

fallen hollow
#

like guns off a player

haughty iron
#

I found this morphine on a shelf

#

And it's not marked found in raid

fallen hollow
#

if a pmc brings something into raid then it loses its found in raid status

haughty iron
#

Ah so you're saying someone prob dropped the morphine on the shelf

raven gazelle
#

dont die

wise thorn
#

lmao

#

k

raven gazelle
#

im sorry lol

dire rock
#

if your asking how to not die as much then learn the maps and master your playstyle

barren topaz
#

what maps are you playing on?@wise thorn

wise thorn
#

custom reserve and if i am feeling lucky factory

#

i like to loot up kill people and scavs and try to escape

barren topaz
#

i am pretty new myself, but what do you find is your most common form of death

dire rock
#

bullets probably

barren topaz
#

id assume

wise thorn
#

i mean he is not wrong

barren topaz
#

but from where

wise thorn
#

but pmc extract campers

barren topaz
#

oh i see

dire rock
#

wise thorn

barren topaz
#

wise thorn

custom and factory a lot of campers

#

reserve not that much for me at least

barren topaz
#

@wise valley what level and where?

dire rock
#

@wise valley they are the "professionals" that help, we're just a few bois who help out

wise valley
#

ah

dire rock
#

for factory just prefire them or yeet the boom balls

wise thorn
#

K

dire rock
#

customs ive actually never gotten a camper other than crossroads once'

wise thorn
#

dire rock
#

yeah hit prntscrn

wise thorn
#

this is what im working with

#

i had more wepons but i sold em

#

bc i had no cash

dire rock
#

i kinda hoard weapons

wise thorn
#

lol

#

noice

#

what map should i run with a tt?

#

pistol

dire rock
#

pistol running is a rat tactic you not killing basically anything with it

wise valley
#

how do i know when the sherpa accepts my request

dire rock
#

idk never used it

#

i just figured this game out one death at a time

wise thorn
#

K

olive turret
#

@dire rock actually same i have several weapons cases i barely started to crack into after 50 levels of hoarding

dire rock
#

i think i have 7 with enough guns in the stash to fill like 2-3 more

#

its honestly a meme ill never use en all XD

olive turret
silver hornet
#

Do it

olive turret
#

i've been cracking into the m4 and sniper cases

dire rock
#

bring em all in once raid, reloading is for nubs

#

just switch guns everytime one runs out XD

olive turret
#

im really not feeling the m4 though it feels like its 995 or nothing

#

the svd sniper and m1a are actually sick though

dire rock
#

m4s are go big or go home but you can get away with m855a1 and maybe m856a1

#

svds been my favorite toy for a bit

#

slap a FLIR on it and make everyone on customs hate you

#

im gonna do a scav raid if anyone wants to duo/trio after just @ me

wise thorn
#

lets gooo i just mad some loot

#

i killed 2 players in factory with a tt

wise valley

wise thorn
raven gazelle
#

wise thorn
#

wise thorn
#

ok

wise valley
#

anyone wanna duo to show me the ropes?

#

how to play

#

basics

dire rock
#

@wise thorn ppsh is ok and ratnik is a good helmet for protecting against scavs

wise thorn
#

dude

#

i reran factory and got some decent loot before i had to retreat because i had bad health but i made it oiut

wise valley
#

how do you do a raid

wise thorn
#

im am so happy i atually did it twice in a row with success

dire rock
#

click on escape from tarkov then choose which character and map you want then pick the time and go

wise thorn
dire rock
#

if your on PMC then insure whatever you want

wise thorn
#

thats the loot i made

#

any good?

dire rock
#

not really sorry

wise valley
#

does it matter which time phase to choose

wise thorn
#

k

#

its fine

#

gtg

dire rock
#

factory doesnt really have loot your best chance is going for people who bring thicc kits on there

wise thorn
#

brb

dire rock
#

@wise valley day and night

wise valley
#

oh ok

silver hornet
#

0500 is very early morning

#

2000 is when it starts to get dark

wise valley
#

dude my time ran out

#

idk where to go to extract

#

and idk when i can extract

dire rock
#

you can extract at any time

#

but thats why i say you need to learn the maps

#

the wiki has maps with tons of details

wise valley
#

ok

#

how many different extraction points are there

#

in a map

#

@dire rock also when it saays like 4-6 when im clicking on a map, is that how many players are there when i load in

dire rock
#

where does it say 4-6

#

if there is a person icon next to it then yes that means 4-6 PMCs load in

wise valley
#

How many diff extraction points are there

#

Is there's just one

#

@ me when you reply

proven fable
#

on factory theres 1 without the exit key

dire rock
#

@wise valley depends on the map, when you spawn in they are in the top right and you can double click o to see them again

proven fable
#

they usually differ on what spawn you got

#

and scavs usually have different extracts then pmcs

dire rock
#

you typically get the extract on the other side of the map

proven fable
#

ye

icy summit
#

ye, general rule of thumb

wise valley
#

When you duo, do you only match up with other duos

#

@ me if you respond pls and thanks

raven gazelle
#

no@wise valley

mortal carbon
#

@wise valley no, there is no such balance in this game. you can go solo on factory and match against 5-man team

wise valley
#

OK thanks, so my chances are better if I'm with someone

vital mortar
#

Not necessarily if your teammates sucks, they could drag you down with them, could be greedy and loot constantly. But could make for good bait sometimes

dire rock
#

damn someones a lil salty at their team

raven gazelle
#

hahah

vital mortar
#

Nah haven't happened to me, an example could be XQC and Summit, XQC looting while summit was fighting which ended with Summit dying due to no assistance

dire rock
#

just pick your team well

#

@idle jungle does no text/prompt come up when youre looking at the door very close to it?

idle jungle
#

yeah

analog fulcrum
#

if so its actually open and bugged closed on your screen, crashing your game with for egzample Alt+F4 or task manager and reconnecting back fixed it for me

idle jungle

who takes time to pack away healing items when about to get shot?

wish you can instantly drop or put it away when healing and someone opens door and peaks you

bold kernel
#

anyone willing to do some geared runs? level 17 but I'm fairly decent (sometimes). I best know shore, customs and factory with a bit of woods and reserve

#

@ancient falcon you can just left click and it'll stop healing

#

he's talking about the time it takes to stop

#

I think

ancient falcon
#

yeah I use a bandage and it takes like 2 seconds to put it away.

#

after cancelling

#

so I'm not sure if this was a waller or not but I was on a roof for ages and I went to over a random ledge and a guy crouching already looking at where I was peaking and shot me instantly

@brittle inlet theres a video report megathread somewhere on EFT forums

What happened @brittle inlet

little jay
#

Hello all - After completing the "Setup" mission for Skier, I was wondering if Devs would be kind enough to change the wording on the mission slightly. Here is the original text: That intel worked out just as planned! They wanted to ambush my couriers but got caught by surprise. He-he. But now, my men are having some serious troubles with those pricks. This gang has outfits of their own, their key-fighters wear ushankas, scav vests and use MP shotguns, what a bunch clowns, aren't they? So, what you should do, dress up like one of them (Scav vest, ushanka and have MP-series shotgun) and kill PMC's, I don't care about factions, it's important to get PMC's into this fight on our side. You get it?"

Objective: Kill 15 PMC's at Customs. You must be wearing spec. gear

I would petition to change the objective to: "Kill 15 PMC's at Customs. You must obtain these kills while wearing spec. gear, using the shotgun."

as it stands currently, it does not specify whether the kills need to be obtained with the shotgun, or if you simply need to be WEARING the gear, and get the kills some other way (Grenade, juice cannon etc).

Will post this in the support chat as well? Unsure of the best place to put this really.

flat cipher
#

It says they use those shotguns, and you have to use the same gear, so how is that not obvious

little jay
#

Wording wise it could be misconstrued. It simply says "Have" in the flavor text.

#

(to be clear, yes, implications suggest using the shotty, but why not be more clear if it can be)

flat cipher
#

But the shotgun comes under the specified gear

little jay
#

Maybe it's just my own nitpick then, but when i read "wear" I think "have on" not necessarily use. Just because it's specified gear, and the flavor text indicated that i need to WEAR it, not use, I feel like there's room to be more specific. Just because it's specified to wear not mean for sure that i needs to be used for the kills.

#

That's all

cobalt drum
#

@little jay did you try having a secondary weapon of your choice while having everything else that was mentioned on you as well and getting a kill with it ?

#

It might just work xD

vital mortar
#

No it will not work, the kills must be with the shotgun

olive magnet
#

so this my first time ever opening up escape from tarkov where do i find the 133 shotgunS for prapor?

steel narwhal
#

loot it off dead scavs

azure phoenix
#

Play the customs map, it's where most of the starting quests are and it's easy to learn

steel narwhal
#

or do scav runs yourself, you might spawn with one

olive magnet
#

ok cause im so fresh to this game that when i got that mission i just went in a got shot on an instant

steel narwhal
#

imo customs is so bad for beginners rn

#

the map is too linear, a lot of chokepoints (bridges, gas station, broken fence at the factory and such)

little jay
#

shoreline is large, but perhaps more forgiving, minus the chokepoints/sani

azure phoenix
#

It's a bad time to start tarkov anyway with the impending soon tm wipe

olive magnet
#

also do you guy have good map knowledge because i was suppose to go to crossroads for extraction but i when to sacv checkpoint lol 😦

azure phoenix
#

I have the maps if you want them

steel narwhal
#

and all the good loots are in the marked room in dorms. So you have chads with multi million ruble kits going for dorm all over the place

#

@olive magnet can you play rn? Do a night raid with me on customs

azure phoenix
#

Have them up on a 2nd monitor or phone while you play

olive magnet
#

yes please that would be helpful to have the maps by my side

#

sure but the mic for my head set dont work but i can hear perfectly fine

#

and it would be my first ever night raid ever

steel narwhal
#

night raids are easier, less players and scavs are blind

#

i can't guarantee we make it out alive, cuz I die myself all the time

olive magnet
#

really i thought that night raids would be hard do to the count of NV IFR

azure phoenix
#

Depends on the time of night and weather

steel narwhal
#

quite the opposite, more people hatchet at night as well

azure phoenix
#

Lots of people just running for quests

steel narwhal
#

@olive magnet 2 man squad #8

Hi

Anyone want to play ?

neon hare
#

Just bought the game could use some tips

jade karma
#

Wanna play @neon hare

hasty silo
#

Chad, focus on learning the game instead of output. Familiarize yourself with ammos and learn the maps. You will learn best leading yourself, not having your hand held.

#

Use your scav runs and be aware of your kit's strengths and weaknesses

#

This chat will answer any specific questions you have but reading a guide or watching a video for general tips and tricks will help a lot.

silver hornet
#

@neon hare play offline raids to learn the maps and their extracts, once you're done with that, play offline with scavs to get familiarized with where they spawn + so you can learn some combat

@ionic lava I'm down for a group if you're still looking. two lvl 7 players cool with a third joining.

Hi I bought the game a very long time ago but I have never played it I am lvl 2 atm can anyone help me?

worldly quarry
#

i am lvl2 and dont know anything about the game and i just need help.

toxic ledge
#

The ammo in The gun generally is more important then the gun

#

Like if a player has the worst gun but best ammo they will easily beat someone using the best gun but worst ammo

worldly quarry
#

ok thanks

toxic ledge
#

Np

#

If you want to level up fast, also try to do quests as although the first few may not give that much xp they give quite a bit further in

worldly quarry

aight

stuck tulip
#

after a raid, where it shows your kills, is there any way to tell if the scavs were AIs or players?

#

besides looting them in game, based on what they have

hearty tide
#

there is no way to tell besides checking them for a pouch slot when looting

olive turret
#

@stuck tulip if a scav has 2 weapons on his back

#

some players yoink a second weapon and its a dead giveaway to me

smoky nimbus
#

@olive turret do AI scavs aggro if you kill a player scav?

lethal narwhal
#

yes they do

smoky nimbus
#

Oof, I've been doing it wrong then

steel narwhal
#

I really don't understand why player scavs always have to shoot each other when they find out they're player scavs thonk

serene gust
#

They don't have too, they just do... it's sad hahah

#

but yeh, that's the player base πŸ˜„

steel narwhal
#

Like yesterday some other player scav took a shot at me behind my back cuz he saw me looting then proceeds to get ripped a new one by some scav raider nearby. I bled out later on, and he got killed which didn't benefit anyone, so why?

#

I also just spawn and had shit weapons so I didn't really care. But I do think it's strange

serene gust
#

because ppl are stupid? idk, it's just how ppl play, it's a kock on affect, coz i'd love to interact as a scav, but i don't trust any coz i know if i don't they will

#

just part of the game at this point haha

teal shore
#

is raiding as a scav a good thing to do at beggining (to get some better guns) or is it a waste of time?

steel narwhal
#

i mean obviously there are no rules, and I'd actually understand if they have something to gain out of this, but it's just lose-lose situation

#

Yea, to farm some cash so you can sustain some decent kit

teal shore
#

aight thank

steel narwhal
#

also reverse scav is really good, sometimes you find dead PMCs and just pick up an entire free kit

teal shore
#

yeah in one of my 6 total raids i stumbled upon a dead body with some decent loot

steel narwhal
#

I found a TV-110 with 4 mags full of M995 once

teal shore
#

didnt make it out because after extracting my game crashed and i couldnt take the loot o my pmc :/

steel narwhal
teal shore
#

i honestly felt both sad and angry because this has happened to me before so i kinda was expecting it

#

i think my pc just isnt good enough

steel narwhal
#

I got killed 1.6s from exit countdown in a scav run today

#

Level 14 looking for someone to help me through some raids. EU

teal shore
#

I found a TV-110 with 4 mags full of M995 once
like i know what those are

steel narwhal
#

tv-110 is a class 4 armor plate carrier

teal shore
#

oh

#

sounds good

steel narwhal
#

M995 is AP 5.56 ammo, 2000 roubles per round on the flea market

teal shore
#

bruh

steel narwhal
#

Yea, when people say shooting hatchlings is not worth the ammo they're actually right

teal shore
#

honestly i had a sad moment yesterday, spawned with nothing and a guy befriended me and gave me good gear but then my game crashed when i tried to alt tab so i lost everything

#

only got a round mag out of that in my secure thingy

steel narwhal
#

When you DC do you like die on the spot or just disappear?

#

I hope its die on the spot that way at least he can dump the gear and get it back from insurrance

teal shore
#

i think you can reconnect but its that your pmc just stays there

#

untill he gets killed or timer runs out

#

the one time it happened to me it said i died so yeh

#

think i just got killed

If you just stay on the spot after DC the most logical thing for him is to tk and dump the gear somewhere

Im lvl 14 looking for some people to run with and help me out with raids, i know customs and factory but want to learn reserves

azure phoenix
worldly quarry
#

im lvl 3 and just need someone who can show me how to do things in game

#

and need help leveling up

steel narwhal
#

i can't rn but essentially you want to farm scav kills early on to get to flea market level asap. Just google the scav spawns for which ever map you play

loud vapor
#

anyone down to sherpa a totaly new player?

worldly quarry
#

@steel narwhal is shoreline a good map to do that on

need help learning how to do anything than spawn in as a scav and extract straight away :/

i have a question, i have massive gear fear. This translated from rust (which i have 1400 hours on, about 500 solo) where even if i have insane gear like metal set and ak with tons of meds, and my ak spray and game sense is fine im absolutely terrified. In tarkov, i have a lot of gear sets from tapping geared players who whiff their shots, but im just so scared to lose them, but deep down i know that going with better gear usually leads to even better gear, but the thought of losing it fucking makes me flinch like a goddamn pussy

strong barn
#

So where is the question?

long kernel
#

this is the question sorry i didn`t phrase it right, how do i get rid of gear fear

strong barn
#

Die with it.

long kernel
#

is it just something that comes with playtime or? cus

hearty lotus
#

Go and lose your gear.

long kernel
#

gotchu

hearty lotus
#

Lose it and get it back eventually, its the cycle and it's awesome

strong barn
#

a lot of gear sets from tapping geared players who whiff their shots
@long kernel will continue to happen. no matter how many guns you lose ahaha

long kernel
#

that`s how it is in rust but tarkov just gives me a huger sense of pressure it feels so much more real

#

wait

#

it`s about to wipe

#

im going with my vulcan and fort redut-m with the rpk-16 it`s gonna wipe anyway wtf does it matter

strong barn
#

Are you realizing this now? Yes, it is. Yes, you should :)

long kernel
#

sorry im quite daft

strong barn
#

Rock that fort armor broheim

hearty lotus
#

You also never totally lose it, it's what makes you want to perform better in raids and learn from your mistakes

long kernel
#

oh yeah since there`s a shitload of time

worldly quarry
#

how do the beginner assistance voice channels work

bold kernel
#

Very new at the game, anyone able to help me out and learn me some stuff? shoot me a dm so we can hop into a discordcall

sonic zenith
#

is this server an ok place to ask for help? I've been playing for maybe 55 hours and I have a sub 10% survival rate, every raid I survive it's because I play with friends who are way better than me, I tried playing on my own today and lost over 1 mil rubles, and died nearly every single run I tried

raven gazelle
#

ye this is a good place to ask for help

bold kernel
#

You can at least feel good knowing you're better than me. I have a 3% survival rate.

swift zenith
#

Anyone want to help me play

#

played twice

and got reketed twice

You can at least feel good knowing you're better than me. I have a 3% survival rate.
@bold kernel how

#

u die on purpose?

bold kernel
#

No, I’m just really bad. I have a tendency to get one shot killed by people I never saw.

#

Almost every single time I’ve died, it’s been at medium distance from somebody shooting me in the head.

#

when youre taking shots from around you, immediately turn around and shoot in the direction you think you're taking shots from, bc the goal when youre taking shots is to get them to duck into cover and stop shooting at you, its all a learning curve, trust me, when i started playing this game, i SUCKED at it, i came from call of duty, which im good at and this is nothing like call of duty @bold kernel

#

I don’t actually play a whole lot of CoD, so I’m completely used to slow and thoughtful gameplay. My issue is I don’t get a chance to return fire, because they only take one or two shots and I’m down.

#

did you just start playing?

#

No I’ve been playing off and on for a bit now.

#

i mean in the end its never gonna be an easy game, youre going to die, its just the flow you need to learn

sonic zenith
#

yeah I did probably 15 to 20 runs this morning, died on each one, but I die on every single run I've ever done solo

#

But that's probably because I'm not very good

silk raptor
#

i actually dont now what to do im level 45 at the moment and if i see other players at my level that also started this wipe im feeling so bad i had 50 mil couple of weeks ago i did geared runs over and over but i cant seem to win i watch streams have (i guess fairly good aim) and i constantly try to improve sometimes i actually have good raids but thats like actually rare i also have a 18 percent survival rate im slowly gettin really demotivated because i really cant seem to do shit i feel like im like always in the wrong position and such and i dont want to play anymore really because im so bad

bold kernel
#

solo runs are so difficult load in with 1-2 buddies

potent tusk

can the money case fit in a gamma?

elfin pendant
#

i think my character is bugged. im not overweight but it still wont let me run past 25% speed. the rest of the stamina bar is blacked out but i dont have any broken legs. is this a bug?

rigid mountain
#

what are you wearing?

#

is your leg blacked?

sick rain
#

hey guys

#

is it worth buying armor with 0 armor points from fence?

sonic zenith
#

No

#

Fence overcharges a lot, then you'd have to repair it which would cost more

sick rain
#

so like

#

AVS with 2 armor point for 10 k is bad?

sonic zenith
#

For 10k might be worth it actually

#

Those repair decently

sick rain
#

so shall i get one?

#

I am lvl 4

sonic zenith
#

Its a class 4, so it'll resist more than the peca

#

Its also a rig, so that's an added bonus

#

I'd say go for it, just repair it before you take it out

sick rain
#

ok

#

new to the game just got pc no one want to play or help me out just looking for people to play with...

#

Hey guys, what's up? I've been playing Tarkov for a while now and I can't get any better at spotting targets, be it scav or players. Any tips about it?

idle geyser
#

@solar cloak adjust your postfx to increase visibility and get used to scanning the terrain for pixel changes

lethal quail
#

I feel sort of lost in Tarkov. I've mostly been doing scav runs on cooldown to amass some kind of item base

tall moon
#

I'm just started and doing the same, turned out pretty well so far

#

the only thing I can't get is good armor

#

but I'd say it's not a bad strategy to begin

lethal quail
#

My big issue is I don't feel like I can fight anyone

tall moon
#

yeah I know the feel, I'm just starting to overcome it. It's just grinding

#

I did a lot of offline, always the same map and then adding one more only

#

incresing bot difficulty and amount

#

I started by being able to kill 2 or 3 in easy mode to around 30 in normal

#

and I guess it just gets better with time and practice

scarlet lantern
#

@lethal quail Run factory with low gear like until you can get kills

lethal quail
#

I was told to play Customs @scarlet lantern

#

It's mostly the sights on the weapons and the ranges people engage at

#

I usually get picked off in the woods in customs

solar cloak
#

@idle geyser I use those PostFX settings, any tip on what I could do here to help spotting targets?

fierce ridge
#

Is this the place to go to find people to play with or nah? or just general help?

solar cloak
#

Is this the place to go to find people to play with or nah? or just general help?
@fierce ridge There's a "LFG - Looking For Group" chat/voice channel below :)

There's a general one and one chat per map of the game

#

the only thing I can't get is good armor
@tall moon You can get better armor killing geared PMCs or improving Ragman's level

#

Ragman Level 2 has some decent barter for armors, but things get way better at Level 3 (:

silver hornet
#

@fierce ridge every noob who wants a carry comes and asks here, you're better off looking in #pvp-lfg

tall moon
#

@tall moon You can get better armor killing geared PMCs or improving Ragman's level
@solar cloak thanks for the advice, it's funny that I kinda need good armor in the first place to kill geared PMCs tho πŸ˜›

#

and the dealers, don't they level up automatically as I gain XP ?

#

that's my idea at least

silver hornet
#

There's three factors in leveling up traders

#

Levels, reputation, and cash spent/sold

solar cloak
#

About killing geared player's it's more related to the bullets you're using πŸ™‚

tall moon
#

ah that part I am studying

#

most I remember is to use PS for 7.62

#

for now at least

solar cloak
#

And what I've learned so far and I'm actually trying to improve on this game is to get used to center my aim on the head, and not the center of mass of a tagert (e.g: thorax)

silver hornet
#

To level up traders, you need to be a high enough level for their respective trader levels, you need to spend/sell a certain amount of money to the traders, and you need to have a high enough reputation.

#

You level up reputation by completing their quests.

tall moon
#

awesome, that's real good info

solar cloak
#

most I remember is to use PS for 7.62
@tall moon That's pretty decent, got decent flesh damage and armor penetration. And it's cheap (:

silver hornet
#

That'll be one of the best ammo types when wipe comes

solar cloak
#

To level traders, stick with what Modern Day said above

#

Also, completing quests is a good way to get XP as well

tall moon
#

yeah I was actually doing a first attempt at debut earlier today, was fighting the fourth scav and a guy was just standing behind me.. when I ran to heal it all went black πŸ˜›

#

I guess I was doing too much noise

#

customs is pretty damn hard, on interchange I feel there's cover everywhere

solar cloak
#

@tall moon I'll be playing in about 30min to 40min, we can play together if you want. But I'm not that good at fighting, though - since day 0 in Tarkov I'm having a really hard time spotting targets. Although, I've studied a lot of mechanics and itens of this game and could help yout out with it πŸ˜›

tall moon
#

that would be awesome, thanks for the offer. Can't intercom atm though sadly, wife is asleep nearby the comp

solar cloak
#

customs is pretty damn hard, on interchange I feel there's cover everywhere
@tall moon Abot the maps, a good thing to the knowleadge of is the pmc spawns and map flow (e.g. given a certain time raid and given the spots they could spawn, where the could be right now?)

tall moon
#

maybe one of these days

silver hornet
#

Customs is very chokepointy, yeah

#

They were going to expand it next update but it got delayed.

tall moon
#

well, compared to the time it took me to study interchange, customs was a breeze

#

it's not so complicated a map, I think it lends more to choking and there's not many paths, plus there's really one way of flowing through

silver hornet
#

Exactly

solar cloak
#

Yeah

silver hornet
#

The expansion was going to be from old gas to construction

tall moon
#

ah, that part that I was trying to figure out how to get out when I died lol

#

after the old gas stations it "seems" like you can jump pass through a crack in the wall but it doesn't lead to anywhere

#

anyway I still have to gain more xp there, interchange is still my "home" for now

#

I scav there and I got lots of everything

silver hornet
#

Interchange is a good map

tall moon
#

I will probably burn all the higher level guns I got there before wipe

solar cloak
#

Interchange is all about looting and killing Killa XD

tall moon
#

toughest to let go will be my ak104 :p

#

I collected on it many pieces and it's the best one I have

solar cloak
#

You'll find better stuff πŸ™‚

tall moon
#

there an m4 too and a VSS

#

lots of fun with the VSS

#

I think I got to know what is the famous gear fear, though it's silly anyway, it all goes away with the wipe so I guess I'll just relax

solar cloak
#

That's the right mindst

tall moon
#

I'm enjoying this game like I don't remember when

solar cloak
#

Better losing your stuff dying and learning the game than because of the wipe

tall moon
#

totally

solar cloak
#

Also, whenever you die try to think about "why". This way you can create a counciousness of what you've done wrong and try not to do it next time.
I got to a conclusion that Tarkov is all about learning "the hard way", with "negative reinforcements" hahah

tall moon
#

yeah, it's pain-based haha

twin apex
#

Ha I myself got some nice weapons from the people i mosined

#

Was so excited when i got a gun with a thermal

#

Though when I hit level and saw how much it is on flea market I sold it right away lol

silver hornet
#

Thermals are great

twin apex
#

It was great, when I was shot at on my way to extraction I used the thermal to find the shooter sooo quickly

Yo, I'm a bit of a newbie, and I don't really have anyone to play with, so any raids I've done have been solo. Anyone wanna help a homie out?

nimble socket
#

same @jolly shard Just started today... and even though I've watched quite a bit of videos on tarkov, it's nothing like really playing it.

jolly shard
#

Duude ikr

could definitely use help getting use to it

#

well... this is fun. @jolly shard

Don't really wanna @ the sherpas... buuuuuuut.....

im doin a quick scav run in the meantime

lol I'm waiting for mine so that I can do that with somebody who knows the game

#

I literally have not been able to extract once.

jolly shard
#

That sux

#

I've extracted maybe twice

nimble socket
#

yeah... got bopped on by a guy i never even saw in my last run.

jolly shard
#

oof

#

I lost a load of shit on my pmc cause a dude rushed me in factory and instaheadshot me while i was in a bathroom

nimble socket
#

cowering under a stairwell, and all of a sudden.... got a full auto burst.

jolly shard
#

hrm

nimble socket
#

I'm too scared to even do a pmc run yet. XD

#

just the idea of losing the very limited resources that I DO have from buying standard

jolly shard
#

Well, if you don't use the stuff, might as well sell it

#

cause it aint gonna be useful in storage

#

thats what ive read at least

nimble socket
#

I mean... Ik i'll get better, but I'm normally a pretty conservative player when there isn't any risk to playing. like I wanna do PMC runs, I just don't wanna lose everything because i'm completely inept at the game

jolly shard
#

same lol

nimble socket
#

like half the time i'm in the control menu trying to figure out what buttons to even use. XD

tawny pulsar
#

@nimble socket if you earned it all during a Scav run just wear the exact same stuff plus an AI2 and a bandage

nimble socket
#

spent a few minutes in a raid just trying to find the vault key, only to discover there isn't one.

tawny pulsar
#

then you only lose an AI2 and a bandage. everything else was free

nimble socket
#

that's the thing. I haven't even extracted as a scav. XD

tawny pulsar
#

oh really? Whens your next scav run?

#

ill help you

#

you got a headset and mic?

I have one open now

Nope, you can't drop them like that

but selling them to fence is possible?

@winter echo is it the factory exit key? I thought it was only for factory?

#

both places use the same key?

@hollow cairn It's the same key, opens some extracts and the customs shortcut by gas station

#

Great key to get

obtuse cloud
#

so im somewhat new to tarkov and pc gaming but i got more then 300 hours total now all togther maybe even more or less but i dont understand how this dude killed me

silver hornet
#

Thermals is my guess

obtuse cloud
#

i dont understand how he knew if i was barley making any noise not to mention i didnt hit a bush or confront him earlier yet he just stomping like their no tomorrow

small sapphire
#

lookin for someone to help me and my friend get our bearings on tarkov, we just got the game 2 days ago

silver hornet
#

#pvp-lfg

that is a little sus, but he could've just been looking towards dorms once he crossed bus depot

hearty tide
#

i play 90% customs and i use reap-ir a lot on customs and i can confirm there's almost always someone on customs with a reap-ir basically every game

#

but it always feels sus when you get tapped like that

winter echo
#

It is a bit dodgy, but it's possible he had a team mate see you. Also thermal is possible.

silver hornet
#

thermals is my guess

hearty tide
#

you're also not what i'd call incredibly hidden so you're not impossible to see, he may have noticed you and got lucky

obtuse cloud
#

idk he sounded like he perfectly stopped to me and then i was dead is all i knew and honestly quite annoying cuz being level 16 not even able to purchase tier 6 armor i cant win gun fights cuz bullet pen isnt their vs every one elses

silver hornet
#

Did you check what caliber you got killed with?

#

Sounded like an M4

obtuse cloud
#

idk you could check all i knew is that it was a head shot

silver hornet
#

armor wouldn't have mattered, and if he had M995 it most definitely would not have mattered

hearty tide
#

like here, sometimes you just don't see the people that are looking at you

silver hornet
#

He could've heard you walking, or when you ADS'd

obtuse cloud
#

thats alittle diffrent cuz you littelry in a bush here the dude was just running casually to i assume his extract cuz it was only 20 mins left in raid

hearty tide
#

but if he was sprinting then stopped to shoot you my guess is he had a thermal

silver hornet
#

thermal + he might've heard you + he might've just been checking dorms

#

whenever I go down that road w/ a thermal I always take a peek

hearty tide
#

or you never never know, could have entirely been a cheater and it wouldn't have been the first time for anyone. i just don't like to blame it on that if there is some other reasonable explanation

obtuse cloud
#

bruh i cant hear people ads and i wearing comtacts as well anyways just wanted a second oppion cuz it felt way to sus for me

silver hornet
#

might not've been wearing comtacs

#

I don't and I hear people ADS

hearty tide
#

if you're level 16 your perception is also lower than a higher leveled player that skill does help a lot

#

i don't wear headsets at all and i almost always hear people first

silver hornet
#

I can't stand comtacs

#

they're way too loud + CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH

hearty tide
#

i don't think he would have heard you ADS from there but if he was level 50+ with walkers headset on it's possible

obtuse cloud
#

yes so does recoil control which sucks cuz high levels is like gun fight with lazer beams and noramlly comtacts for me allow me to hear so many things better especially people coming up on me

hearty tide
#

customs is chock full of sweatlords right now too and being in the end-of-wipe mode it's tough right now

#

take it with a grain of salt and enjoy the game after the wipe when things are back to normal

obtuse cloud
#

i cant wait for wipe i just want to know the date already i want to finally be on even playing ground and not have to worry about how ima afford my aks with cheap attatchments that i need to try and defend myself to complete quests

hearty tide
#

the biggest thing that is going to help you on customs with survival rate, more than anything else, is map knowledge and the routes you take around the map

#

gear is nice and obviously helps win fights but map knowledge is king

#

if you want to play customs and make money you need to hit the hidden caches and take safer routes around the map

#

pick your fights and weigh the chances of dying vs making money

obtuse cloud
#

i know customs i play it consistently i know where all exits are i know how to get their i know exactly where i spawned just by looking around and i know the majority of all stashes like the raid before that i headshot a 28 got tier 6 armor decided to take it into that raid got another kill my armor went to shit and decdided to extract and then i died

hearty tide
#

a lot of people think facetanking bullets and being a "chad" is the only acceptable playstyle but it's all about your goal while you're in that raid

obtuse cloud
#

i was gonna hit dorms for a quest but thought better to extract over the kills and guns i had in backpack

hearty tide
#

yeah it's always just about goals, setting a goal and sticking to it helps me a lot

#

if i want kills i bring a different kit than if i was there to make money

#

or do a quest

#

and obviously things can change, you might kill a fat one and get some good shit and want to leave early

#

so map knowledge is what's gonna get you out safely most often

#

not just knowing the extracts but knowing every bush like it was in your own front yard lol

obtuse cloud
#

i normally bring my aks cuz i rather have the option to maybe get akill and i was gunna go long behind dorms but was afriad their was poeple cuz in my fight eariler i heard many nades go off over in that direction so i stayed in construction healed then went behind bus stop

hearty tide
#

if you're solo and you see a 4 or 5 man rolling towards you, knowing where you can dip and let them pass without being detected is important

#

knowing alternate routes

obtuse cloud
#

but as i was going behind bus stop i heard shots at gas station so that is where im assuming that guy came from

hearty tide
#

yeah if he was higher up than you on the overpass then it makes it a bit easier to spot people especially if he had a thermal

#

but a lot of people will tell you the only way to play is to rush everyone you see like rambo and if you're not facetanking bullets and mowing down 4-mans with drum mags then you suck etc etc. but personally i like to survive so i pick my fights a little more carefully

obtuse cloud
#

well im assuming he was in front of bus stop that killed me and before i offically decided to go towards gas i stopped at the cache in the cargo container so he got me after that even if he had seen me eariler it woudlve looked like i went into dorms

hearty tide
#

then most likely he just had a thermal. have you used a reap-ir yet?

obtuse cloud
#

i have had thermals from people i found unlooted on woods while doing scav kills but as soon as i take them in raids i get bonned hard and i prefer to try my shots at distance i rarley like upclose engagements cuz my armor is practically non existant to these rounds they use

hearty tide
#

yeah next time you get one take it in offline mode and kill some scavs, see how easy it is to track people through even dense brush. and combined with map knowledge and knowing flanks really well you're almost unstoppable

#

it sucks for new players and they don't stand much of a chance but after the wipe things will be closer to a level playing field

obtuse cloud
#

it is nice to use i have killed one person with it off a woods spawn but he had a team mate so i was not keeping count of rounds and ran out as he was practally in my face

hearty tide
#

yeah if i know i am being thermaled i will usually rush them, because they're a lot harder to use up close

#

and staying at range just makes you an easy target

obtuse cloud
#

not to mention aim punch is crazy i was getting my legs melted by the dude and i got the reload off but cuz of aim punch it felt like i was jsut looking up

hearty tide
#

the truth is fighting against someone with thermals is sometimes just a lost cause so i just send it. they are just very powerful

#

if you can't get far far away and evade completely then just rush, at least you will have a small chance vs just hiding and hoping they don't see you

obtuse cloud
#

i mean i get they are amazing they are just it still about the rounds they use and armor cuz if they landing body shots you can possibly deflect devastating rounds and take less damage surving vs my paca or tier 4 armor that everything they use go straight thru it so distance had always been my friend espceally being sneaky sniper with aks with a side mount for close range

steel narwhal
#

Embrace the leg meta

hearty tide
#

yeah and this late in the wipe 90% of people are using bullets that will pen class 4+ on the first shot so armor is not always gonna save you anyway

#

that's why i say just focus on map knowledge and strategy vs wearing better gear

steel narwhal
#

995 Chads will still kill you if you wear slicks

#

Just shoot their legs if you can't afford top tier ap

obtuse cloud
#

i only ever used it effectively once and i still died trying to extrac on reserve and i get what your saying i just like the comfort of hey if i get shot i can repostion and hit from a diffrent angle this what happened the raind before a level 5 put a clip of 9x18 from a keder into my teir 4 scared me i ran healed flanked and tapped his head cuz he thought i was still where i was

Can someone help me get some money? Pm me if ya could. I am in need of some dire instructions/ways to make money.

Just got this game 3 days ago and can't put it down lol. Anyone willing to play and give some pointers?

lapis mauve
#

to make money scav into interchange and go to oli, pick up gas and tubes and helix and stuff. you will make lots of money. don't shoot ai scavs

bold kernel
#

were is oil?

#

out side?

lapis mauve
#

the big green store

#

from the wiki

#

you can also hit the stashes outside (the little red x's) but do that as pmc and expect to run into others doing the same

bold kernel
#

oh

#

ok

desert hull
#

@latent crater honestly just practice right now

#

wipe is coming quite soon and you'd be better off really starting when that hits

#

take this time to learn the maps the best you can

#

learn the "feel" of gunplay and what not

bold kernel

brazen dune

LFG who wants to volunteer and help me make some tarkov guide videos! I will be paying for all the equipments, just pm me if you are interested! making awesome videos out there for great ammo guide!! (ex: how many shots can slick can handle bs rounds?)

desert hull
#

@latent crater yes

#

like everyone just bought the game for the first time

flat cipher
#

Major update, major game changes, means wipe

#

Keeps the palate fresh

#

Everyone at an equal playing field to test the features as intended

lapis mauve
#

its nice for newer players because they are fighting people with similar gear instead of everyone running around with end game gear and thermals.

latent crater
#

oh damn so thats including rank and hideout too

Hi, My game becomes so laggy at the start of every single game, does anyone know how to fix it?

restive epoch
#

Hi - pretty new player only level 6 right now, and I'm feeling very lost loot/inventory wise, this is all I have - anything hidden means I don't have anything there... any tips? What should I sell or keep?

bronze rock
#

@restive epoch if you can, try and keep most of what you can and wait till you are high enough level to use the flea market, if you find out what is good to sell and what you should keep, then start selling. but right now, sell any guns you know you wont use to mechanic or any armor/ backpacks you think will be useless

#

the flea market makes the game a lot more easy on you

#

and please sell or discard those knives, you wont need them. trust me

winter pecan
#

How do i get over gear fear?

restive epoch
#

@bronze rock thank you - I'll do just that then, any tips on leveling faster to 10? Or just chad harder?

#

Hahaha the knives are for trades

#

free guns for scav runs

#

@winter pecan It took me like 10 raids and losing over 1mil in my stash but just keep going in and playing smarter each raid

#

If you die just learn from it, use this time til wipe to learn and lose all your loot if you have to

#

so next wipe when its even playing field you can hopefully be over gear fear

#

but also i suffer from the same so

ember pendant
#

@restive epoch You can trade those knives to peacekeeper for a pistol or mp5. 8 brown wooden ones for the mp5 and 4 black ones for the pistol.

#

You can also stack backpacks inside of each other to save room.

#

Weirder, just play. It's the only way to get over it.

winter pecan
#

@restive epoch Yeah like thats the thing. I only just started playing, and only found out about the wipe a couple days ago. So ive been more loose with what i take in.

But still now, i never take in my best stuff, always just crap

ember pendant
#

You'll lose a ton of money when you first start especially this late in a wipe. The good thing is can find good gear pretty easily right now to replenish what you lose.

#

I also suggest finding some 120k ish gun and running that over and over. Get a gear set that you are used to and then it'll let you actually learn levels and loot routes.

winter pecan
#

Do you find its good practice to keep the "better" weapons etc for the more valuable raid/less risk raids.

#

Or is it better to just balls to the wall take in good stuff

#

And like what as a new player thats used to fucking ak's and pistols do with like higher teir loot?

#

somehow i managed to kill a fully geard guy the other day, ot all his shit. Should i use (and inevitably lose it), sell it to get lots more lower teir gear. or save it for when im at the level confident enough to take it in and not get insta killed?

desert hull
#

@winter pecan you get what you put in

#

always bring shitty gear? you'll never get good gear

#

and you won't learn how to play with good gear

#

its a different playstyle

bold kernel
#

@winter pecan sell what u dont/wont use and just buy the stuff later when u feel like using it, if u never use good gear you will have gear fear for awhile

winter pecan
#

Like ive been progressing in my gear fear disorder. haha Like now im taking in 2 primaries, armour, bags etc. Where as before i would only take in a pistol.

#

Im a solo aswell.

bold kernel
#

why 2 primaries

winter pecan
#

because i have to many guns

#

like, there ones i dont care about losing. ak's sks, mosin etc

bold kernel
#

i guess, i think selling them would probably be better so u can buy higher tier guns

winter pecan
#

Yeah, i just sold my fals. cause theyre big

stable gyro
#

Dude are you bring a helmet into your raids?

winter pecan
#

me? sometimes. like 30% of the time if my scav had some (and i extracted to use it)

#

Thing is, i dont know whats affordable armour, that is actually worth having.

bold kernel
#

i mean helmets are situational, nice to have but doesnt stop good ammo for shit.

stable gyro
#

it kinda stops pistol cunts from one tapping you

#

if they dont hit your face

winter pecan
#

yeah. Im the pistol cunt

bold kernel
#

yeah unless they shoot u in the eyes

stable gyro
#

weirderchimp im also one of the pistol cunt

bold kernel
#

thats why i usually dont run a helmet without a visor but thats because i have a decent bit of money

winter pecan
#

πŸ‘

stable gyro
#

some time just use a ssh-68 and pray to nikita that no one tap you at your face

#

@bold kernel you have over come gear fear yes?

bold kernel
#

I mean yeah, just running slick exfil m4 into fact alot and itll be gone quick

#

i also just lost a m1 in fac rn cuz some dude magically got behind me without making a single sound in sinks

stable gyro
#

well when wipe is coming u just say yolo

bold kernel
#

i say yolo even without wipe, which is probably why i hover at 2 mil

stable gyro
#

im just running gen 4 air frame with a fully modded m4 and a fully modded svd with a thermal scope

#

but now im kinda fucked

bold kernel
#

i pref slick over gen4 just cuz weight gets me killed alot

lapis mauve
#

if you aren't going to use it in, say the next 5 raids, just sell it. once you learn the game you will be able to buy whatever you want to use. then its just about making money

bold kernel
#

but hoarding 15 m1 reaps makes me look like im a gamer

stable gyro
#

rat to chad or the other way round

bold kernel
#

gen4 altyn m2 sword is the way to go

lapis mauve
#

i do hoard stuff, but i have the money to afford to do it buy buying endless amounts of cases. before you get to that point you should just be hoarding stuff to use in the next few raids and quest items

stable gyro
#

just get a scav case

#

that the hoarding will start

#

then*

lapis mauve
#

when i was questing and leveling hideout i had 2 and kinda wanted a 3rd

stable gyro
#

damm dude

#

wtf were you hoarding

formal nova
#

WHO NEEDS HELP

lapis mauve
#

if you only keep stuff that needs to be found in raid you only need 1

restive epoch
#

@winter pecan same here my man, just got the game less than a week ago but I'm already hooked / just found out about wipe pretty recently

winter pecan
#

Yeah kinda broke me

#

but good in a way

restive epoch
#

@winter pecan but yeah I keep going in with bad guns and dying, good guns and dying - seems like every 5/6 raids I'm only able to extract in 1 or 2

winter pecan
#

becasue i could tell i was getting addicted

#

haha

restive epoch
#

lmaooo same here

winter pecan
#

What region you play in?

restive epoch
#

NA-W

#

you in USA?

winter pecan
#

Nah AUS. so not sure what the closest servers are.

stable gyro
#

any of you from sea

restive epoch
#

Me neither haha, damn I'll check and msg you tomorrow hopefully we're able to play a game

#

I usually play with a duo or with some friends, so it's an interesting experience hahaha

winter pecan
#

Yeah i tried to talk my usual group into getting the game. but theyre on the fence. Its over 100 aud for us. More expensive them a AAA game

bold kernel
#

Is M62 good against raiders like against their armor and helmets

stable gyro
#

i can only play solo now cuz if i play with my usa friends i'll get 250+ping

#

and it just kick me all the time

#

cuz ping to high

@dire rock whats with the dumb face? obv everyone on this game knows killing players are the best way for loot, clearly he dont wanna do that if hes asking

dire rock
#

i know some people prefer the rat route and while im not going to get mad at them i will sit here and silently judge with my chadlyness

#

its a joke

#

do whatever you want you paid for the game

tiny saffron
#

gotta crawl before you walk

serene gust
#

It's always nice to give players different options to try for themselves, gtfo of here with the salt.. it's a good suggestion either way

dire rock
#

i had to crawl because my first raid my legs got blacked

serene gust
#

Lmao @dire rock

dire rock
#

thats when i learned violence was the only answer

tiny saffron
#

im not salt lmao just doesnt make sense to tell a guy kill other players as if he probably know that already

dire rock
#

im just trying to draw people away from the ways of the rat

tiny saffron
#

gotta rat tho at first to get the game ya know

serene gust
#

No, i know, and your suggestion is decent, just ignore ppl we don't need to sit and read arguments in begginers advice

dire rock
#

never done a rat raid in my entire tarkov life

#

ive done ight

tiny saffron
#

get little cushion money so he aint broke getting killed by a chad

serene gust
#

duth that's you... he might not be a good player, he might struggle at PVP, he will learn at his own pace, just give suggestions, not throw your gamplay style at him

#

then argue your point, it's just moronic

tiny saffron
#

99% of people just starting are not chads from the start

dire rock
#

i understand some people struggle we've all been there i just joke around about the playstyles, i get why ratting is a thing anything i say is probably just joking around

tiny saffron
#

all im saying is dont direct a guy in a bad way thats gonna make him not wanna play the game

dire rock
#

i just welcome the PvP aspect of this game more

#

how is PvP bad tho?

tiny saffron
#

yeah eventually you get good enough youll wanna kill a player but that comes at everyones own pace

serene gust
#

Nobody is hunting players with a paca and PS are they?

@serene gust legs are sexy

so if he's level 3 you suggest he goes PVp? lol no

dude you should see some of the lvl 3s rn XD

#

^exactly what im trynna say

dire rock
#

i get what your saying but where they getting m4s and slicks?

serene gust
#

dude you can argue your point all day, but you comment is obvious, take one YT video to know that, he's here asking because he obviously wants to LOOT not KILL

tiny saffron
#

they need to get to leevel 10 with money you think hes gonna kill a guy with ps rounds against a guy with thats level 30 lol

dire rock
#

im not arguing im agreeing with what your saying dude

whats best map purely for loot without keys

That was the question and your answer was PVP?
