anyone up for a duo i can pvp but extraction points are my weakness
and yea ive only played two games of tarkov
not necessarily an abuser, could have just been a bad lobby - server @long haven
anyone down to show me the ropes, just got the game
anyone mind helping a new player out a bit?
anyone one wanna help a loser out, im getting so tilted getting gear from a scav run then immediately losing it when i do a normal one. NA btw
How do i enter fps mode in the hideout?
just got the game 2 days ago and i am still a noob anyone here willing to give me some tips?
@main abyss The 'Enter' at the top of your screen.
Has tarkov audio changed
@strong barn thank you :3
Anyone German here who can play some Tarkov with me? i still die lol
can someone teach me i just got this yesterday im looking to have fun π DM
@oak forge What you told me was false it didn't count as a raid item so i can't hand it to therapist :(
sad
@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
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
like guns off a player
if a pmc brings something into raid then it loses its found in raid status
@raven fiber dont ask here, go to another Server, these people here just ignore it...
@cloud tartan Hmm?
its true
Ye sure but need someone German i am not the best eNgLiSh'er xD
@cloud tartan or maybe no one is german and is on rn
maybe thats y no one has responded to u
What is the path to find where tarkov saves screenshots?
Well, You're typing in english well enough? i'll answer any questions you have
I dont have questions i am just bad in the game lol
Tarkov is a brutal game, takes practice and patience
ik
i believe nightmare is german? you could work togehter
2 players is better than solo
He's got German as his profile thing
crispy
you wanna group up?
or anyone HONESTLY
been getting my fucking ass handed to me
@strong barn use file explorer and go to this pc > documents > EFT >Screenshots
@split minnow theres a looking for group voice and text channel you should be able to find someone there
@strong barn if you press prtscrn button in tarkov the file path for your screenshots pops up bottom right
^^ that works as well lol
yep
anyone can help me with the basics?
hey i need some tips i started like 4 days ago i got some loot but i normally die before extracting any tips?
i just started today
sure what do you guys wanna know?
I was just wondering if someone can duo with me and just show me the basics really

Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
how do i get a better extraction success rate?
dont die
im sorry lol
if your asking how to not die as much then learn the maps and master your playstyle
what maps are you playing on?@wise thorn
custom reserve and if i am feeling lucky factory
i like to loot up kill people and scavs and try to escape
i am pretty new myself, but what do you find is your most common form of death
bullets probably
id assume
i mean he is not wrong
but from where
but pmc extract campers
oh i see
ok so those Aholes
i dont understand sherpa
that is something thats so hard to avoid
what maps
is there someone that can just play with me for a little lol
@wise valley what level and where?
@wise valley they are the "professionals" that help, we're just a few bois who help out
ah
for factory just prefire them or yeet the boom balls
K
customs ive actually never gotten a camper other than crossroads once'
in this server does it let me screen shot and send things here?
yeah hit prntscrn
i kinda hoard weapons
pistol running is a rat tactic you not killing basically anything with it
how do i know when the sherpa accepts my request
K
@dire rock actually same i have several weapons cases i barely started to crack into after 50 levels of hoarding
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
i should prob use them all since wipe is coming tbh
Do it
i've been cracking into the m4 and sniper cases
bring em all in once raid, reloading is for nubs
just switch guns everytime one runs out XD
im really not feeling the m4 though it feels like its 995 or nothing
the svd sniper and m1a are actually sick though
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
so i cant get a sherpa rn, anyone wanna duo wit h me to show me the basiccs
@dire rock are any of these stuff i made from the raid good?
u got the flea?
id probably sell most of it if not all of it
ok
@wise thorn ppsh is ok and ratnik is a good helmet for protecting against scavs
this was my scav raid
dude
i reran factory and got some decent loot before i had to retreat because i had bad health but i made it oiut
how do you do a raid
im am so happy i atually did it twice in a row with success
click on escape from tarkov then choose which character and map you want then pick the time and go
if your on PMC then insure whatever you want
not really sorry
does it matter which time phase to choose
factory doesnt really have loot your best chance is going for people who bring thicc kits on there
brb
@wise valley day and night
oh ok
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
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
where does it say 4-6
if there is a person icon next to it then yes that means 4-6 PMCs load in
on factory theres 1 without the exit key
@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
they usually differ on what spawn you got
and scavs usually have different extracts then pmcs
you typically get the extract on the other side of the map
ye
ye, general rule of thumb
When you duo, do you only match up with other duos
@ me if you respond pls and thanks
no@wise valley
@wise valley no, there is no such balance in this game. you can go solo on factory and match against 5-man team
OK thanks, so my chances are better if I'm with someone
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
damn someones a lil salty at their team
hahah
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
just pick your team well
hi
anyone knows where i can find this ?
Mechanic 1
so uhh
im stuck here
i opened this door with a key and closed it behind me
now the door wont open
@idle jungle does no text/prompt come up when youre looking at the door very close to it?
yeah
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
yeah asked about it on voice chat and it worked, thanks anyways
ah nice ^_^
anyone want to run through some customs with me?
@manic compass am down
!ammo
any experienced players wanna do some runs with me?
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
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
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
hey, is there anyway to report cheater with video?
@brittle inlet theres a video report megathread somewhere on EFT forums
What happened @brittle inlet
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.
It says they use those shotguns, and you have to use the same gear, so how is that not obvious
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)
But the shotgun comes under the specified gear
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
@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
No it will not work, the kills must be with the shotgun
so this my first time ever opening up escape from tarkov where do i find the 133 shotgunS for prapor?
loot it off dead scavs
Play the customs map, it's where most of the starting quests are and it's easy to learn
or do scav runs yourself, you might spawn with one
ok cause im so fresh to this game that when i got that mission i just went in a got shot on an instant
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)
shoreline is large, but perhaps more forgiving, minus the chokepoints/sani
It's a bad time to start tarkov anyway with the impending soon tm wipe
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 π¦
I have the maps if you want them
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
Have them up on a 2nd monitor or phone while you play
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
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
really i thought that night raids would be hard do to the count of NV IFR
Depends on the time of night and weather
quite the opposite, more people hatchet at night as well
Lots of people just running for quests
@olive magnet 2 man squad #8
oh dont worry im completely terrible bad at this game i got destroy by a scav sniper on customs my every first raid

hahah
anyway i can fix these really bad frame drops?
should I - oh wow theres people playing together and using this chat to talk lolololol but anyways - should I sell the dogtags I collect or barter them with traders?
told him to go to dm in voice, he probably didn't hear it so i went back to chat 
anyone want to jump in to some customs matches with me
looking for duo partner. really good at pvp and tactical gameplay i just don't know what items there are yet
New to the Tarkov community. Level 18 and still learning. Anyone down to assist or just learn together?
lvl 6 and lvl 7 looking for a third person. Anyone down?
I need someone to play with and to teach me how to not be complete garbage, dm if you want to help
Newer player LF someone to play with/learn from. Mostly been sticking to offline + scav runs to learn the game so far.
Hi can anyone play with me ?
new player looking to learn how to play
Same ^
New player looking to group
go into a trio @jade karma @valid valley @lapis topaz
Looking for someone to play with, i am relatively new to the game but still struggling with map knowledge, (can hold my own with gun play)
anyone know when wipe is
and sure im lvl 5
what region are you
eastern U.S
can i call
yea
crap i cant gtg sorry
Just bought the game could use some tips
Wanna play @neon hare
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.
@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.
Anyone want to play ?
If any new players (below level 15) want some help learning customs lmk, about to do some customs runs. Only running customs and not rushing dorms.
anyone wanna help me learn some maps? lvl 9
can
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?
i am lvl2 and dont know anything about the game and i just need help.
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
ok thanks
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
aight
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
there is no way to tell besides checking them for a pouch slot when looting
@stuck tulip if a scav has 2 weapons on his back
some players yoink a second weapon and its a dead giveaway to me
Level 14 looking for someone to help me through some raids. EU
@olive turret do AI scavs aggro if you kill a player scav?
yes they do
Oof, I've been doing it wrong then
I really don't understand why player scavs always have to shoot each other when they find out they're player scavs 
They don't have too, they just do... it's sad hahah
but yeh, that's the player base π
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
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
is raiding as a scav a good thing to do at beggining (to get some better guns) or is it a waste of time?
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
aight thank
also reverse scav is really good, sometimes you find dead PMCs and just pick up an entire free kit
yeah in one of my 6 total raids i stumbled upon a dead body with some decent loot
I found a TV-110 with 4 mags full of M995 once
didnt make it out because after extracting my game crashed and i couldnt take the loot o my pmc :/

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
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
I found a TV-110 with 4 mags full of M995 once
like i know what those are
tv-110 is a class 4 armor plate carrier
M995 is AP 5.56 ammo, 2000 roubles per round on the flea market
bruh
Yea, when people say shooting hatchlings is not worth the ammo they're actually right
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
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
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
im lvl 3 and just need someone who can show me how to do things in game
and need help leveling up
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
anyone down to sherpa a totaly new player?
@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
So where is the question?
this is the question sorry i didn`t phrase it right, how do i get rid of gear fear
Die with it.
is it just something that comes with playtime or? cus
Go and lose your gear.
gotchu
Lose it and get it back eventually, its the cycle and it's awesome
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
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
Are you realizing this now? Yes, it is. Yes, you should :)
sorry im quite daft
Rock that fort armor broheim
You also never totally lose it, it's what makes you want to perform better in raids and learn from your mistakes
oh yeah since there`s a shitload of time
how do the beginner assistance voice channels work
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
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
ye this is a good place to ask for help
You can at least feel good knowing you're better than me. I have a 3% survival rate.
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?
No, Iβm just really bad. I have a tendency to get one shot killed by people I never saw.
Almost every single time Iβve died, itβs 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 donβt actually play a whole lot of CoD, so Iβm completely used to slow and thoughtful gameplay. My issue is I donβt get a chance to return fire, because they only take one or two shots and Iβm down.
did you just start playing?
No Iβve 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
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
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
solo runs are so difficult load in with 1-2 buddies
can the money case fit in a gamma?
yes its a 4 slot
wasnt sure if it was a restricted item or not
oh im not sure if it is or not i was just saying it theorhetically could
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?
stamina bar wont go past this
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
ok
new to the game just got pc no one want to play or help me out just looking for people to play with...
I'd play with you but I'm not exactly any good myself
im level 3 does anyone want to give me some tips or walk me through a raid
@main trench im down to hop on
thanks my Username is the same as my discord
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?
@solar cloak adjust your postfx to increase visibility and get used to scanning the terrain for pixel changes
I feel sort of lost in Tarkov. I've mostly been doing scav runs on cooldown to amass some kind of item base
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
My big issue is I don't feel like I can fight anyone
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
@lethal quail Run factory with low gear like until you can get kills
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
@idle geyser I use those PostFX settings, any tip on what I could do here to help spotting targets?
Is this the place to go to find people to play with or nah? or just general help?
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 (:
@fierce ridge every noob who wants a carry comes and asks here, you're better off looking in #pvp-lfg
@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 π
and the dealers, don't they level up automatically as I gain XP ?
that's my idea at least
There's three factors in leveling up traders
Levels, reputation, and cash spent/sold
About killing geared player's it's more related to the bullets you're using π
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)
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.
awesome, that's real good info
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 (:
That'll be one of the best ammo types when wipe comes
To level traders, stick with what Modern Day said above
Also, completing quests is a good way to get XP as well
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 π
I guess I was doing too much noise
customs is pretty damn hard, on interchange I feel there's cover everywhere
@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 π
that would be awesome, thanks for the offer. Can't intercom atm though sadly, wife is asleep nearby the comp
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?)
maybe one of these days
Customs is very chokepointy, yeah
They were going to expand it next update but it got delayed.
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
Exactly
Yeah
The expansion was going to be from old gas to construction
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
Interchange is a good map
I will probably burn all the higher level guns I got there before wipe
Interchange is all about looting and killing Killa XD
toughest to let go will be my ak104 :p
I collected on it many pieces and it's the best one I have
You'll find better stuff π
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
That's the right mindst
I'm enjoying this game like I don't remember when
Better losing your stuff dying and learning the game than because of the wipe
totally
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
yeah, it's pain-based haha
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
Thermals are great
It was great, when I was shot at on my way to extraction I used the thermal to find the shooter sooo quickly
@pure spoke baby come back
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?
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.
Duude ikr
ikr
Don't really wanna @ the sherpas... buuuuuuut.....
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.
yeah... got bopped on by a guy i never even saw in my last run.
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
cowering under a stairwell, and all of a sudden.... got a full auto burst.
hrm
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
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
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
same lol
like half the time i'm in the control menu trying to figure out what buttons to even use. XD
@nimble socket if you earned it all during a Scav run just wear the exact same stuff plus an AI2 and a bandage
spent a few minutes in a raid just trying to find the vault key, only to discover there isn't one.
then you only lose an AI2 and a bandage. everything else was free
that's the thing. I haven't even extracted as a scav. XD
darn
about to do some customs runs if any new players want help learning the map/game in general. under level 15, decent mic, mature no raging bullshit.
@hearty tide Im up for that
cool i'm in duo #13
Got a few questions in beginners assistance room 1
whiteface killed a guy wearing a slick and airframe with a base adar with m855 lol

when is wipe?
never
no date
step 1
go to shorline
step 2 get a red card
step 3 sell that shit
step 4 buy a fuck ton of labs keycards. (im only level 10
@left moss how long u been playing
thats a lotta snickers you can buy with that money
hey guys, what is the key used for the customs shortcut room?
@hollow cairn Factory key
if its wipe day and I have the gamma container, can I give it to my friend then reset my profile and get it back?
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
@long haven You can sell to fence yes, not sure how reliable that is specially with the new flea market changes.
hey uh, what is a wipe?
@teal shore A wipe is bascially where your account gets wiped back to the start
aight thx
Everyone's account gets reset
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
Thermals is my guess
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
lookin for someone to help me and my friend get our bearings on tarkov, we just got the game 2 days ago
that is a little sus, but he could've just been looking towards dorms once he crossed bus depot
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
It is a bit dodgy, but it's possible he had a team mate see you. Also thermal is possible.
thermals is my guess
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
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
idk you could check all i knew is that it was a head shot
armor wouldn't have mattered, and if he had M995 it most definitely would not have mattered
like here, sometimes you just don't see the people that are looking at you
He could've heard you walking, or when you ADS'd
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
but if he was sprinting then stopped to shoot you my guess is he had a thermal
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
i was gonna hit dorms for a quest but thought better to extract over the kills and guns i had in backpack
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
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
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
but as i was going behind bus stop i heard shots at gas station so that is where im assuming that guy came from
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
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
then most likely he just had a thermal. have you used a reap-ir yet?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Embrace the leg meta
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
995 Chads will still kill you if you wear slicks
Just shoot their legs if you can't afford top tier ap
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
Clip
lol
me when people use the term "clip" incorrectly:

Just go scav interchange and hope you spawn at power station or probably roam around the storage area
You are likely to find those stuff
can anyone help me?
i love it
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?
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
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
@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
π π―
@desert hull it wipes everything?
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?)
Major update, major game changes, means wipe
Keeps the palate fresh
Everyone at an equal playing field to test the features as intended
its nice for newer players because they are fighting people with similar gear instead of everyone running around with end game gear and thermals.
oh damn so thats including rank and hideout too
I will love to run someone through Interchange, pretty seasoned vet, if you need a teacher DM me.
captain Kirrahe, im keen. Level 9 keen to reach 10 for flea market
Hi, My game becomes so laggy at the start of every single game, does anyone know how to fix it?
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?
@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
How do i get over gear fear?
@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
@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.
@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
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.
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?
@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
@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
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.
why 2 primaries
because i have to many guns
like, there ones i dont care about losing. ak's sks, mosin etc
i guess, i think selling them would probably be better so u can buy higher tier guns
Yeah, i just sold my fals. cause theyre big
Dude are you bring a helmet into your raids?
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.
i mean helmets are situational, nice to have but doesnt stop good ammo for shit.
yeah. Im the pistol cunt
yeah unless they shoot u in the eyes
weirderchimp im also one of the pistol cunt
thats why i usually dont run a helmet without a visor but thats because i have a decent bit of money
π
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?
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
well when wipe is coming u just say yolo
i say yolo even without wipe, which is probably why i hover at 2 mil
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
i pref slick over gen4 just cuz weight gets me killed alot
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
but hoarding 15 m1 reaps makes me look like im a gamer
rat to chad or the other way round
gen4 altyn m2 sword is the way to go
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
when i was questing and leveling hideout i had 2 and kinda wanted a 3rd
WHO NEEDS HELP
if you only keep stuff that needs to be found in raid you only need 1
@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 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
lmaooo same here
What region you play in?
Nah AUS. so not sure what the closest servers are.
any of you from sea
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
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
Is M62 good against raiders like against their armor and helmets
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
your speaking to one

Rat?
I need help getting money cus I was playing with a buddy and a random and I had a SA-58 juice cannon but its not coming back from insurance.
So now im fucked in money rn, i will never recover financially from this
This is why you don't run it unless you can afford it
should you use auto ram cleaner? and use only physical cores?
Hi i want to make 1 experiment for myself and looking for guys who will help me, im from russia and never played tarkov with eng speaking peoples but i want to try do this on my stream right now , so mb smbdy want to help me with this. 46lv playing tarkov 3+ years, also was rus sherpa
@halcyon patio blame Carol Baskin
@halcyon patio If you don't have money why are you running that gun?
ty
np
@gaunt pelican but why go for loot when theres lovely PMCs who will gladly give you loot once you put enough bullets in them
^ lmao
@gaunt pelican interchange loot stash at night if you want min contact with players
-_-
@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
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
gotta crawl before you walk
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
i had to crawl because my first raid my legs got blacked
Lmao @dire rock
thats when i learned violence was the only answer
im not salt lmao just doesnt make sense to tell a guy kill other players as if he probably know that already
im just trying to draw people away from the ways of the rat
gotta rat tho at first to get the game ya know
No, i know, and your suggestion is decent, just ignore ppl we don't need to sit and read arguments in begginers advice
get little cushion money so he aint broke getting killed by a chad
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
99% of people just starting are not chads from the start
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
all im saying is dont direct a guy in a bad way thats gonna make him not wanna play the game
yeah eventually you get good enough youll wanna kill a player but that comes at everyones own pace
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
i get what your saying but where they getting m4s and slicks?
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
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
whats best map purely for loot without keys
That was the question and your answer was PVP?
reserve or interchange my opinion
someone already answered it
i'm chilled, and i know you were joking around
so i figured a little joke was harmless
Yeh, i know we answered it lol
I think it was the face to @tiny saffron suggestion was the trigger hha
im not a federal agent just playing a game with illegal guns is all, who else has one??
any americans willing to help a level 4 out? Ready for a scav run
only because my internet is trash... XD
You can invite others to join NA servers
how about us canadians eh, we need love to
I need help getting money, what is the best way to get roubles rn without any keys for shoreline?
I dont know anything about shoreline and my tarkov hates reserve
takes so fucking long to load
oli as scav
picture a rat
aka a massive pussy hiding from all pvp and just looting stuff
beta male activity
and they got mad at me for forcing my playstyle
@halcyon patio yeah reserve doesnt like me either, i use my scav on interchange for money since you can find a lot of ded bois just chilling there, its not every raid but sometimes you get lucky
just check the fight spots
@dire rock i feel bad cus im a rat myself haha
