will they ever announce an exact date for wipe or will it always be an estimate?
@crimson jasper Soon Soon

there will be a date when they announce prewipe events. but even that is subject to change
its "done" they are just fixing major bugs that keep popping up
how do we start our own beginners assistance room
what kind of help
like always nikita doesnt know wtf he is talking about
wipe had to be very soon, but we will endup having it next month (hopefully)
yet its still a much better game than many others
true, but slow development doesnt help
Well everyone bought this game knowing it was still in development and with the worlds current situation, I'd say they're doing pretty well
How this sherpa thing works? I join the waiting room to someone pick me up? What do we know we are in the same location like EU/NA
@bold kernel You can request one here: https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa/user_request
Any tips on making money since i am running kinda low after losing good armor and guns
@olive night same im just about at 1 mil and I cant support my self foer the rest of the wipe if this continue
yeah
@dusk nebula @olive night you probably seen this 3 words a 1mil times but yeah (use your scav)
ew scav
I’m actually more successful at extracting with scav than PMC. I’m still really, really new so it’s been helpful with getting gear and money. 😁
@slow whale That'd be most likely because all other AI on the map don't attack you unless provoked as a Scav.
PMC will have all AI attack you on sight; the game is and should be slightly 'easier' as a scav. Practice, practice practice bro :)
How do these people have max level strength...
ive been playing since wipe and I have only level 3...
isnt max level 51?
@potent tusk ? how
@potent tusk @bold kernel people have figured out ways to cheese those stats through glitches and exploits - they were reset a while ago to keep everyone on an even playing field with the introduction of the new weight system, but some people have found a way to cheese the same skills again
hey, completly new, anybody playing? English/Polish preffered
I just hit a man with bp ammo from an sks 4 times in a row is there any better ammo I can take?
it only did like 150 damage ;-;
@potent tusk If you have your hideout upgraded to utilize a FP-100 air filter; if you run labs all day and have an Air Filter in; you receive 40%+ more experience points in Strength per grenade thrown. Simply put; after 8 grenades are thrown by you in a raid you will suffer diminishing returns meaning you cant toss 400 grenades in one raid to get to level 3 strength--which is how many it takes without an FP-100 Air Filter.
To maximize the strength gain, after 8 nades are thrown consider extracting and reraiding and grenade throw as much as possible.
This would be a legitimate way to get level 51 strength..however....
If there is a way to cheese it, then fuck those guys @tulip loom they are the real wankers
anybody wants to play with complete beginner?
yeah there is, met someone with max strength last week. it used to be a glitch on factory through the wall and then fall for like 15 minutes, but they patched that, now I think its on reserve, but i do not know how they did it this time
Super lame, maybe he used a 'extracurricular' program to help him get it 🤷
wtf
Something no one should use and will get banned for using mentlegen. Everyone is legit in tarkov get real you suck learn to play scrubz
im so con
@bold kernel a bad program. one that you aren't supposed to use with the game
whooooaaa
can't say that
( ͡🔥 ͜ʖ ͡🔥)
we dont talk about those here; against the #521628660298678283
ok''''''''''''''
@tired needle wanna scav run with me and try to get some things?
@strong barn sure, that's exactly what i'm looking for!
@tired needle check your dm's, come to 2 man squad #13
Anyone want to help me got this game today have no clue what im doing, died twice already 😂
i can help im also pretty new
Im down to play if you are? @edgy egret
im down i need team mates
@urban swan I would be down too
i wonder if any big publuisher ever aproached BSG
to buy them or something
im guessing because of being a buy to play, no microtransactions and PC only is a big factor
but the game would be insane
@primal nova

literally just bought the game a few hours ago
Good luck, either you've watched a few videos and know what to do, or simply just ask questions on the chats
I know what to do its just I don't know any good loot spots
You can find videos for loot spots/route for specific maps, so pick a map you want and look it up
ok thanks :)\
Spend the time you can to learn the maps and mechanics, we're still waiting for wipe date
Should i sell all stuff that I dont need at the moment
If you have small stash sell anything you can buy from traders or won’t use in the next 5-10 raids (and quest items that need to be found in raid, but I wouldn’t worry too much about quests with wipe soon)
no everything gets wiped
dang I might just quit tarkov since the wipe is coming soon
It’s as if you just bought the game
only chads play rn so ull most likely get fucked
Naw, now is a good time to practice. After wipe everyone will have the same gear as you
Practice as much as you can, then you'll get on a more even footing aas more experienced player
at wipe
Although yes, you will probably die a lot to heavy geared people right now
This is a perfectly good time to build strategy and supply lines.
It's been very profitable running practice streams on reserve.
A teased helmet, not out yet
ohh it looks sick
it looks like a mod to a fast mt or something like that
It's a helmet from Galac-tac. They got different variants of it.
BobaFett helmet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReK7zcE7KJ0 can someone help me. the game freezing like this lots of times in the battles
Unfortunately those are stutters that everyone pretty much experience. There's no real solution but waiting for developers getting it fixed
From what i read, the stutters occur due to the different bullet types being fired off. Thus why you usually experience them in gunfights, some say that disabling vsync on the game and nvidia control panel and let the frames run uncapped will help, but you will still experience stutters
ok thanks!
i upgraded to an ssd and it helped really slightly also restarting my game every 3 games or maybe every hour reduced them by a bit @brittle inlet
also did you do the show fps or whatever via console?
ill try it, thanks
if you got the stats from the eft console i think that can cause some issues too so turn it off
i've not had a single stutter in weeks, so i thought that issue was resolved?
Evidentally not
they did some changes a few weeks ago
It seems to have worked for me 100 percent
i think i got thisi problem after they changed it
i cleaned before start the game
btw how often u guys clean ram
oh u mean that, do you suggest to turn it on or off?
mines on, and i never have stutters anymore
Just try it and see what happens
ill try later today, cant do now 😦
also, make sure you have Use only physical cores unchecked, as this caused me some issues
ok
idk if its related, but I just started and ill get random 1-2s freezes. fighting or just walking around, nothing obvious seems to trigger it. Finding the tarkov.exe and turning off full screen optimizations in compatibility settings seems to have helped. went from freezes every raid, to every other raid.
just picked the game up this weekend, mainly doing scav runs to learn the maps, mostly sticking to shoreline but want to move to customs when i learn a bit more.
Use your scav for customs to learn it, but expect to die as there are mostly chads running customs now
ooooooo look at u lol
yea honestly almost every map sucks for new players right now
i cant get anything done anywhere but hatchet runs on reserve
been doing offline pmc runs between scavs to learn vs ai, need to be able to kill them faster
i just run around on custom trying to kill scavs and hit up caches, my bullets bounce off chads, and they 1 tap me so i dont even have time to try and wiggle.
im scared of killing scavs
without a silncer on big open maps loikle that
because a pmc will hear you
and hunt you
yeah, part of the fun! learned the hard way i dont get to loot most things i kill. just kill and move on
if its a scav there is no need to loot cos there probs not gonna have anything
yeah, thats what i meant
few pmcs ive dropped died in bad locations. and well first time i just greeded for it, and got executed by his buddy.
I check scavs I killed for keycards
I got a Kiba Key and a GPU off of one a while back
Same, thanks to that i didn't have to buy the key myself
im in chit chat 3, doing some labs if someonew ants to help guide me
I just went nvgs with the squad on interchange 23:00, but you could see just as well with them off? Is that just the map or are they all like that?
most maps, forget about factory
tried my luck with 2 friends on factory by night
only one of us brought a nvg
on factory by night you won't see anything, even if you triple your gamma on nvidia panel, you'll see your screen turn white before having a glimpse of your friends
then we found a light source, some scav hanging with a torch on his weapon
now there's my friend with a nvg acting as a guide, the other newbie hanging with a torch trying to do a quest
well nvg & torchs don't mix well together, they spent their time getting lost, giving wrong calls in the dark and turning themselves blind
and there was me, running around like a madman trying to aggro scav half-blind, to let the others do their quests
best factory run ever
anyone wanna do low budget runs?
what does the weapon modding i unlock at lvl 10 offer me that i already couldn't do through basic custumazation? i feel like im missing something...
you can buy anything you want at flea market and also sell things for alot more than dealer would pay
no i mean the weapon modding i unlock through mechanic
EU labs carry, dm to join
weapon modding doesnt seem to offer anything new aside from a close up of the gun, and i feel im missing something...
oh i think it unlocks saveable presets
ok i got it thanks
looking for some Aussies to help me out, newbie here.
interchange
oli
pistol run
go to oli, pick up whatever you see, extract
and rush all the tech stores
can do it as scav too
put some graphics cards in your gamma,
and if you can afford the medical storage key, you hit that room and you might find some ledx
fuel worth more than gpu's now
is the fuel you buy from Jaeger full?
thx
@fast creek check some YouTube videos of pestily about interchange
You’ll know the routes
But in general the tech stores and Oli are good
You just need some time to recognize the good loot
Anyone EU or Na needs help, PM me
Is safe key any good?
oh my blood pressure is through the roof
is their a "best" AK variant?
which is the one that fits "kind of"
Rk-95 tp
Fiski why did you list off a Finnish AK
He asked best Ak variant
same lol
plus this is beginners help channel lol i wouldnt ask about real world guns here
yeah go to #irl-weapons for that
anyways, thanks for the assistance
Ur Welcome😋
can you mount flashlights to helmets?
I'm not sure why this exists in the game, but everyone has it. Alpha state of development, I guess. How are you supposed to go about as a Scavenger against PMC, if every gun they can have is useless against that armor?
please tell me the name of that armor, and gun & ammo type that is effective against it?
looks like it's not really worth wearing anything else
its so dark that i cant tell, but i have a feeling a lot of your bullets may have went into arms and others blocked by the armor. it may be just a UN body armor from what i can gather. If you were on a scav run its possible you had some real bad ammo loaded
inb4 (the shots 1-3, 4-6 5-9 meme)
i don't know that meme and maybe better so, thx anyway
this just happens every time i play tarkov, so i wonder why stuff like this exists
it's a bit game breaking i'd say
unrealistic af
If you play that way, sure, but no one asked you to unload half a mag of unknown rounds at someone full auto
you broke the game yourself on that one
but you did come to ask what ammo tu se, albiet in a salty manner
i'd say run at minimum BT
which scavs dont often spawn in with
it was a scav run so nothing i could help with that
but you're likely to find a lot of it laying around n reserve
like, lots
i repack my AK mags with BT often on reserve scav runs
so are you saying, with BT he would've died?
Its far more likely, i obviously cant garuntee it, but you for sure did land some torso shots in that spray
and BT should pierce the t3 UN armor
reliably
on PMC runs i always take best piercing/penetrating ammo there is available for a gun, but the results are pretty much the same
but again, i wonder why armor like that even exists
I assure you the armor isn't the issue
If armor was that strong, there wouldnt be people crying about the VSS/VAL right now
well sure it's weak against something, but i have no way of knowing what that is
there's probably 1 gun that beats the armor
and everybody uses it
No it uses a pretty simple math formula. a very rough way to do it is take pen power vs armor tier. and offset it by 10. 40 pen will reliably go through tier 3.
50 through tier 4
what im saying, if it's invincible against 90% of the guns it's a bit stupid
far from exact
but it's good enough
its likely hes not
you probably had 5.45 PS ammo
in that scav gun
with a pen power of 25 off top of my head
tats not goign to fair well against much
That LOOKS like a UN armor but its so dark i cant tell
best armor a scav can spawn with is a ghzel. which it surely wasnt
and thats rare anyway
also, if you want realism, lets not point out that body armor irl can stop rounds a lot better than in tarkov to begin with
I do some testing with the AR500 Level IV ceramic plates with 5.56, 7.62x39, 308, and 30-06 armor piercing rounds!
I also go over the properties of the plates.

lvl 4 irl body armor stopping AK round
tarkov has gameify'd body armor
otherwise it really would be people being tanks
lol
if someone unloads a gun on full auto on your body like that, it's guarantee he doesn't one tap u back 🙂
he literally tanked the whole mag
dunno if he was using shitty ammo against level 4 armor he could probably one tap you
I was attempting to be nice and answer your questions as you seeemd to be looking for knoweldge
but really you seem to just wnat us to say waht you want to hear
damn man, you really lit him up with your limited game sense and expierence
got em
next time champ
You shouldn't have even been in that position in the clip to begin with
it's beginners-assistance, what do you expect?? a pro player coming here asking for beginners assistance? wtf haha
You aren't, we're answering you
and you reply back "thats not fair"
youre looking for positive affimration
that youre a gamer
youre sitll a gamer, dont let tarkov bruise your ego
try again
youll improve
i promise
especially now that you understand amo better
i don't understand it any better, you explained piercing and told me what i already know about ammo
Then why dont you understand your clip?
also why did you leave your cover you ran towards two scavs or scav guards while using bad ammo spraying and praying your first 4 shots went around his head in a half circle
this isnt cod
Its scavs, you could have just one tapped their dumb ass AI half way across the parking garage
@olive turret because this is how everyone who has killed me, plays Tarkov
they run out like that, and unload their gun on me
and when i try that, this happens
as a pmc with decent ammo or armor sure as a scav with bad ammo no
and it's not AI, this was two players
looked like guards or raiders to me
gluhars goons then
yeah they have actual names
i see a third bald man in the back
aight, i'll get as val, load it with best ammo and try again.
if the results don't vary it's a crap game
Please do it may be a humbling experience
What would be a decent map to learn starting out right now?
1 more question, what mods should i attach to as val to make it op?
You can put a pretty stock and just about any foregrip
The thing is disgusting stock anyway
thanks 🙂
Can anybody help me kill my first scav boss?
How can he search the body outside the search view? https://clips.twitch.tv/AmorphousLightBananaVoteNay
Hi peeps! Been enjoying and getting frustrated at Tarkov for a few weeks now. The only successful looting route I've found is Interchange but stay away from the building. Basically avoid players at all cost. Anyone got any tips on the next map to try to tackle? Have worked on Customs for a week now but I run in to players regardless of what route I take and inevitably die.
ive had luck on shoreline @plain quarry
despite the 6b armor that i had i died to 1 burst from unknown distance. lol
Looking to get escape from tarkov, can someone tell me wich edition i should get? i see something with a stash that increases per edition?
Either standard or edge of darkness
the most expensive one gives you a big stash and the biggest storage container
like, do i need that? or can i buy a bigger stash also later on?
Yes you can upgrade anytime
Takes some questing to get the epsilon container which is 8 spaces while eod gamma is 9 spaces
you can upgrade stash size in hideout
The stash space feels really small on standard
don't hoard, basically sell everything you aren't using the next 3-5 raids
keep only quest items that need to be found in raid
so, would it be wise to get the standard edition and then upgrade the stash size?
just informing alot, don't want to regret it when i buy
thats one way to do it, upgrade stash in hideout and container with quests. or skip all the grinding and buy it with bigger packages. eod also gives you dlc when they come out. i can only recommend to buy what you think is worth it to you and what you can afford. pestily has a playthrough series that might help
If you have money get eod
i started with standard and upgraded by 1 size when there was a sale until i got eod
Also you have to reset your account if you upgrade from standard to eod
Oh
I mean you just need to pay the payment processing fee again so you pay a bit more total if you buy standard and then upgrade
I see, will check out some YT vids of the game, i also heard this game is pretty hard
Not very beginner friendly
its a little complicated, there are no in game guides, no matchmaking. if you don't make an effort you will just get slaughtered and not know why
Yea you have to be willing to study the game
once you get it down its fun, and soon there will be a wipe so everyone will have starting gear again
a wipe? like they do this every now and then?
@lapis mauve what exactly are the things u need to "get down" ?
literally most of the time what i've seen is people color matching their clothes against walls, then camp with op armor and gun
they wipe with major updates so they can test stuff better. and it helps the game not be stale since there isn't really a stable end game yet
there is too much for me to type here, i would check out all of pestily's beginner videos and at least the start of his playthrough series
learning maps, extracts, scav behavior, armor and ammo, meds, and more!
And how is the community? like for me as a beginner? are people likely to help (me or beginners) out?
will def. check it out right now 🙂 thanks alot
there is a variable quality of help in this discord. for more specific help you can request a sherpa or check out the sherpa discord
! sherpa and ! sherpadisc i think are the commands
so do i do that if i want help killing a scav boss?
maybe ask here or in #pvp-lfg
i would consider helping but i'm halfway passed out and should probably sleep
haha, thanks anyway, you helped me alot :), will prob get the big edition since it's recommended.
UK server labs carry, dm to join
anyone giving out stuff?
I just bought the game, it says awaiting payment submission, it has said this for 10 minutes now, is this normal? I bought it via paypal.
Can someone help me with running and learning labs?
dm that guy up there that said to dm him
Ping is just barely to high to play on any UK servers
Hi all. I recently found the key to the marked room on Reserve, but from my experience playing on it, extracting always seems really risky. Short of not bringing a pack, whats the safest/quickest way out of Reserve if I can loot that room?
LF someone who can learn me the game, just installed, fresh noob
same, I'm also kinda nooby but I've read alot and been playing for like 4 days
LFG AU new player - looking to build map confidence
i have like 0.00001% clue of what to do and how to do it haha, just looking at the guns, ammo and mods makes me like: WTF this is complex as heck
oh man, yeah I was there. just watch a bunch of beginner videos to start out if you are clueless haha. that will let you get some ground before you try to learn the actual game
watching pestilly, few people recommended him, this game is insane complex
ye he is really good and yes its very complex
there are also a bunch of weird controls to get used to such as checking your ammo, lean, freelook, visor, etc.
!sherpahub
If your in need of a guide or general help. We have a deadicated discord for helpful members and Sherpa to team up and talk too.
@languid quarry
I joined the sherpa hub 🙂 thanks
Cool. I'll see about streaming later today aswell. Lemme know if you want to team up.
yeah i'd like to team up :), i'm watching alot of YT content right now
@paper flame safest way out is cliff decent at end of raid I find... people always in a rush and can end up leaving alot of loot OUTSIDE the marked rooms.
@ripe sapphire If it persists past an hour then I'd be concerned...
Anybody here? Trying to learn as much as possible before the reset
This is just an empty room. For target practice
Oh okay
@steady igloo Shoot your questions
I struggle with the shooting mechanics. I shoot, but none of my shots seem to land even if the sights are on the body of the scav/pmc
There's a chance they are landing, but not penetrating their armor
Multiple influences... Bullet drop, armour, aim, damage dealt, possibly even ghost bullets in some instances I feel.
I just always seem to be missing then. I’ve shot multiple scavs and nothing happens. I get tapped
I bought it a few days ago and am just now understanding the different ammo types and what armors they can penetrate 🥴
When in doubt..aim for the head..
I think my second stream showed this heavily as I started stocking adars and sniping some targets... even mosin target at one point took no damage as I realized something wasn't rendering and protecting a scav.
Do some offline raids in factory... maybe horde mode... get a feel for combat up close and test guns out in extended combat.
will give you a good idea how your shooting and how effective your bullets are
End of raid stats help also
Ok
Any map in general to start on?
And how can I get weapons? I have none left now
Play your scavs for free gear. If your careful though dead bodies with guns can be found.
I usually suggest interchange and hangout in parking lots but you could experiement with finding mounted gun positions in reserve and shooting some targets to attempt quick gear...
Or look up grenade box locations and try to blow someone up
Damn, got smoked while running as a scav 🤣
I get one tapped by all pmc
It’s almost impossible to kill anybody in the game right now if your new because they are all stacked
Whats a good trick for building confidence in fighting PMCs? I've played only just 40 raids and have yet to get a PMC kill. They either get me or I just book it in the opposite direction
Is there a certain level I should be aiming for before trying to engage players?
I'm about hit lvl 10 and get that flea market access
The only players I've killed are player scavs
There's no certain lvl before you decide to go for pmc, it all depends on your skills and confidence. If you're too scared to fight a pmc, then you'll most likely somehow mess up or something like that. Flea market access would help a bit with ammo availability which would make fighting pmcs easier
I engage them when I have to, but 95% of them time its them already waiting for me to walk around a corner. I always wear headphones, I slow my speed, I take my time and try not to make too much noise, but they're always there
waiting. Full auto into my skull and its game over.
It depends on map knowledge, knowing maps would help you know the possibilities of ambushes, where you can wait yourself and ambush others and so forth
If your in high traffic areas and ppl rock in game headphones for boosted audio... even a slight turning in place will blow your presence... then it's just picking the ambush point... likely a one way door...
@steady igloo It can be dangerous running into stacked pmc's... more dangerous then their gear is their experience. I have some streams on the sherpa hub and most raids I stick around till late in raid... just to get lower traffic and taking my time reading battlefield for clues.
You might notice I mostly end up fighting fellow scavs and low gear players. Get taken out by a couple too.
jo wassup just wanted to give new ppl a tipp to make quick cash, play interchange, kill ppl, and the best tipp DONT DIE! 🙂
@paper flame they read what ur doing, thats part of being a good player, u can hear if somebody is a new player or a "old" player
new player here where can i find the tutorial?
YouTube
i need to find that to
ur fov is how wide ur character sees
how to overcome gear-fear
There's a bug where if your fov is maxed out, then some iron sights/optics are completely fucked in terms of actually aiming
so leave it at mid 60 until it gets fixed
I have gear gear too simply because 75% of the time on my PMC I get killed without ever seeing the person
😂
@flat cipher what sights is it bugged on?
I swapped my fov to 75 and used the pk-06 and it was all fine
like, most of them
do raiders spawn in offline labs?
If you tick pve on yes
it is but they still not spawning
okay
i cant find exit on customs
@raven gazelle Thnx
np
Hi everyone, I just started to play the game and this is my second day. I really really suck at it. Is there anyone here who is experienced and can help me?
@kind osprey sure what can i help you with?
I'm in the same boat as faktas. I'm also day 2
@kind osprey @pulsar basalt Can I give some advice?
We just entered pre-wipe (a wipe being, everyones account gets reset in the interest of development as well as enjoyment, because its fun for everyone to be on the same level again)
what would normally be fairly easy (for tarkov standards) enemies, are now raiders, which are arguably more difficult than players to kill
I suggest practicing on these raiders and just learning the feel of the game and the maps as best you can this week, because we are likely to see the game wipe on the weekend
Will the raiders spawn on offline maps? @desert hull
Would it wipe even tho i got almost nothing? Also does a wipe reset the hideout?
@pulsar basalt From my understanding, your account will be wiped down to the items you get form the edition that you bought
Does it give us the stuff back from when we bought the game or is there 0 equipment
Ok cool thx
it will be like you just started
Ok lol wont be set to far back😂
use this time as practice
for the real thing coming soon
trust me, post wipe is very fun
Ok thx. Any good ppl out there cause randoms just shoot me when I join the squad
and it'll feel more fair than starting out seriously now
never join rando squads
only use this discord
Yes, joining randos squads = auto death
as if you just bought the game
Any other tips for survival and getting good gear?
rn farm raiders if u can kill them if u cant kill them then no ur screwed lol
@pulsar basalt play slower than you probably think you need to
anyone wanna play with noob? kinda new just wanna learn stuff before wipe?
@bold kernel What do you wish to learn?
!sherpahub
We have a deadicated server with guides and helpful members as well as a twitch stream for new players to take advantage of.
Noob looking for people who can show him the way to escape, i've seen YT vids but would like some advice IG etc.
@languid quarry So are you asking for a dude to answer questions or for someone to squad?
both 🙂
I see, I heard with a wipe there will be new stuff implented to the game right?
hey guys, just bought the game like 3 days ago and succesfully raided some customs runs. The only problem is that i dont know what to keep
@rugged rain post a screenshot
@languid quarry new features, yes
Prioritize. Mainly money will be needed to be the most flexible... once your comfortable expand to upgrades as you see fit...
there won't be that much new content this wipe, but mainly new feature
also yeah nothing matters because pre-wipe events have started
So wait, so all scavs are now raiders until the pre wipe is over?
yep, except player scavs, they remain as regular scavs
Gods no wonder I've been getting domed and flashed left and right from NPCs, I mean I'm still trying to learn but these guys laser your face
But if you do get them, you can get decent gear
That's also true, but I'm kinda awful at this game and I'm just scrapping to get what I can
I might just wait until this event is over
Wait till unlimited money, then you'll be able to scrape up some gear
that happens later
like tomorrow or day after. They roll something different out every day
ish
So what's the current event going on?
So the game is about to wipe and they're doing an event where all of the Scavs are now Raiders, who are big beefy bois who will clap your cheeks from across the entire map. They have really good loot but they are very aggressive
So that's why these scavs have been tanking some hits lol
i sruvived ffs
@bold kernel raiders on every map
Pestily says that unlimited money/cheap traders are tomorrow
i need help
can someone pm me ? i need some volunteers out there to help me make some helpful tarkov youtube videos out there! (for ex: how many sp5 rounds can hold airframes?) i need the volunteers now so pm me~~~ thanks!
anyone wanna do some runs with me help me get a feel for the maps?
How can i see what silencer i can use for my mosin? or is there a fast/easy way to check it?
Link search the barrel.
Right click the barrel, "link search"
But the Mosin takes the Bramit.
I see, thank you 🙂
Anyone have space for a newb?
anyboody wanna go factory with me or some?
I could use some help and pointers
mosin can also use any 762 ak suppressors and 308 suppressors with adaptors
what maps dont have raiders
only Interchange, but that's bugged AFAIK
This sounds sketchy i know, but could someone PM and give me some tips on how to get some money before wipe? Me and my frined both got the game a couple months ago and have been battling to see who can have the most Roobs by wipe, and hes ahead right nwo
[01:12]
Just like maybe some good flea market tips or something? I've bought quite a bit of M61 to sell later
Posted in wrong chat last time sorry
i know its just more of a personal thing
I know the money itself doesnt matter, just want to win the competition!
the competition?
read up
where?
Why is Fence selling a whole bunch of shit for cheap? Is this part of the pre-wipe event or is it cause I got Kappa case?
might be pre-wipe
Newbie player here been doing shoreline runs is that a good map to start on?
yes
yes
Customs is a good map to learn too, because all of the beginner quests are there
customs has choke points that you will have to go near so keep your head on a swivel, shoreline is much more laid back and has a shit ton of loot all over the place
Yeah, hopefully the Customs expansion will fix the chokepoint issue
I mean I doubt it, but here's to being hopeful.
im reading chats is a event occuring i know we are near a wipe but as a new player lost asf as to whats happening
define "ballistic experts"
@frozen bison pre-wipe event, every map has raiders.
@bold kernel no idea, either this weekend, or early next week.
@silver hornet define raiders.
scavs with better AI + better gear.
Thank you kindly.
Typically only found on Labs and Reserve.
Oh hence why ive been getting ruined
@silver hornet Why is the choke point an issue?
So if you get laser beamed by an AI on Customs, and the guy who killed you has a name like "Tigr" or "Barrakuda", or even "Bob", that's why.
Guess im doing ok=ish 2 days playing got about 1.2 million rubles not great but better then my mates negative income lol,
The map flow sucks on Customs because you have two groups of people (ie people spawning on the east and west side of the maps) pushing towards each other and it's very predictable to find where they're going to be coming from
trying to learn 1 map at a time
Yeh, i believe that's deliberate
Yeah and it doesn't exactly make for good design
i think i saw a youtuber talking about bad designs on customs i thinkk
Yeh, that's an opinion
like you could throw a grenade into spawn ect
i like that you hve the danger pushing between sides
Not to mention that Customs has shit loot outside of dorms, and is where most of the beginner quests are
The loot is an issue i agree with that
Interchange still has shit extracts + shit lighting
but arguably some of the best loot
is it best to go offline to learn maps you guys think?
Also a very true statement lol
i like the harder extracts also
This knowledge is golden
Reserve is my favorite map
And it's very easy once you get an RR
Interchange's extracts are just garbage.
Reserve and Customs are my fav maps
i killed my first man today
feels good,
nice
GG
sneaky man killed both me mates though,
but aye more gear for me right
it seems alot easyier to be solo then a small party
anyone else think that?
eh, depends
true these guys are new as i am so probably why i think that atm lol
people i play with are newbies,
So does this mean the wipe is coming very soon?
in about a week give or take some days
m855
nice
yeah
first wipe kinda ready
Ez loot
oof who just leaves a 180k value helmet laying around
@bold kernel someone who doesn't care bc they have a stash value equal to the US defense budget
true but for a lvl 4 player thats un thinkable
the most pimping level 11 in the game.
does anyone know why there aren't any scavs spawning in offline mode/horde mode?
all scavs are replaced with raiders
he probably picked up something better and hoped nobody would pick that helmet up and insurance to return it
I want to take some higher tier ammo into raids like 7.62 BP but I feel like the potential and the price of ammo outweights anything you could potentially kill in the game
Like im not sure how many mags I should bring as back up, the amount of ammo loss could be really bad
well, pricing on everything is a bit messed up, but regardless, 300 bp i think costs around 200k from prapor, i use this round a lot and i take roughly 150 bulets with me 2 50mag and a spare stack or even less with an sks. Now that everyone is geared up most likely one kill would more than cover that so for me is optimal ... anyway try to take advantage of this prewipe time and experiment with gear and play styles, don't worry that much about the money
It's just carrying that much extra cost is kinda nuts imo
if you have room you should gamma the extra bullets, actually this applies to all ammo
Bringing 5 mags of bp for my vss over 400k alone but I can grab slicks and stuff off people
but .. the alternative is to be in risk of running out of ammo, which will most often than not have you loose all the gear
Damg I mostly just get shot and die from someone
i think the amount of ammo you take in should be in direct proportion with the aggressiveness of your play style, if you take it slow/snipe/hide and rarely use full auto there is no need for all that ammo, but if you engage anything moving you might end up dry when it matters most. If your average life span is rather short and you don't expect multiple engagements you could dial down the ammo count. gamma/secure container is your friend, meds most likely are cheaper than a 60 stack of anything
now that all scavs are raiders ... its a bit butthurting for lower level players but yea
@hearty heart click the box that say enable bosses
does anyone know when the next event hits
No.
@hearty heart click the box that say enable bosses
@lapis mauve nah, still nothing spawning
there's a button that says enable PVE and then you can set how many spawn and what difficulty
did they fix the thing were there r no raiders on interchange?
No
maybe they just aren't doing it because it would be a cluster fuck, i can imagine they'd spray from all sorts of angles you couldn't even see them from inside the mall
plus killa would run around getting in gun fights with raiders
since yknow he just sometimes sprays even AI scavs when hes feeling awfully awful
Do raiders just shoot everything, pmc's and scavs? had some weird experiences with them
How can I use the pre wipe as a new player? I feel like it’s an event for geared players (most of the playerbase) to have fun and dump their last gear into, but I’ve got basically nothing and would still like to learn something from it
you can use nothing and walk out with gear. It only lasts a few days so if you feel like you aren't getting anywhere don't worry too much

What can I do to not die every raid I go in to. I cant see or hear anyone and then bam I get one taped from a guy that was sitting a corner. When playing with friends I am always the one to die first. All sugesstions are greatly apriciated
@ornate bolt Well you know about the prewipe event right now right?
Its a complicated problem because I can't tell you what you're doing to cause it
does this happen on all maps?
Yeah except factory. There I see the enemy but they just one tap me aswell . I might get a few hits on them
I have had really good raids aswell.
Killed like 3 pmcs
what do you do in the first say, 10 minutes of a raid
Every map is quite different. I'll say for customs. There I spawn near big red walk over the bridge and start going towards construction and as soon as I get in there I am dead
It is different but I try to find some pmcs and then take them off from distance
So you're moving as soon as the raid starts?
Yeah
Like as soon as customs starts you're moving to dorms/con
I dont go to dorms but basically yeah like that
yeah so unless you get the best spawn possible, you are going to run across where another player has spawned doing that
and if you do that, you are going to be making noise and be visually spotted moving across somewhere a player has been in the last 5 minutes
also the spawns on the other side of the map on customs will be meeting you in the middle around the same time you get there
Yeah I know that I will meet people but I hope to get a firefight not onetaped
Usually like class 3-4 sometimes 5 and as a helmet like Achhc and Ulach's
class 3-4 wont stop anything a player shots this late
As you play, you will definitely improve at seeing enemies, scav and PMC. It's just a matter of learning what things look like what
class 5 is better but some players are still using ammo that will pen it
also I will say, usually when you get one shot or even just shot at, you werent just seen
most players will see you then start stalking you
Thanks for the advice
it often helps to routinely stop and survey the enviroment
What about identifying the location of where I was shot from. Lets say I am at reserve near train station and I get shot but I dont know where it is from?
a lot of that comes from map knowledge
but hears a tip as well
everything in the game is directional
so when someone shoots in your game, to locate their location you have to spin around to triangulate the source
Okay I'll try
what lvl are you?
How come the recoil in this game is so god awful? It's not that I just spray without thinking, even stuff like 3 round bursts are nearly uncontrablable. I have played mil-sims and it was never this bad. I have a DT MDR that I am practising with in offline mode against he beafy scavs now and I am not hitting anything, even when standing still
you need yo mod the gun
Well, spraying guns in real life on full auto is also inaccurate
Realistically, full auto is for niche situations. Surprises and really tight quarters. Semi-auto fire is way more accurate especially to ping their faces
Well, spraying guns in real life on full auto is also inaccurate
@paper flame I said I am not spraying, I talked about burst
The inital kick is way too extreme to be honest
@arctic rune Do you understand how the recoil works in this game?
Are you talking about the automated recoil control?
yes
PAINFULLY aware of how it works, because I am not a fan
then yeah, you know why the recoil is so bad for bursts
this game only really allows tapping and sprays
bursting is the worst of the 3
Look up what max recoil control looks like... assuming your starting at zero skill... the scale from min to max can be quite different aswell
if you can afford to mod guns though. quite powerful.
in terms of realism. games need some level willingness of disbelief... Tarkov is one of the best... but there is a line drawn for challenging fun
Tarkov's automated recoil control would be fine if you could burst
they definitely need to rework the system to allow burst fire
I am just starting, so my funds and willingness to invest into mods is... limited to say the least. The game aims for realism, yet the recoil system is like arbitrarily difficult to handle. I am currently running interchange over and over on offline to get a grip on it. The pre-wipe scavs are a BLESSINg because they hit like fucking trucks with their space laser bullets. I am loving it. Feels a bit like a PMC firefight but you can practise
well the realism is that the gun gets more controllable after the recoil kicks in
its just the initial jump that is jarring
it also leans towards the RPG mechanics to have the PMC be the one who gets better at recoil control
I don't like the current implementation but thats what is going on
seeing how labs clearing and max recoil skills can remove recoil almost entirely. The grind is a task in it self.
labs clearing?
typo... on mobile. ppl get alot.od grind n practice clearing labs... max skill grind removes alot of recoil
how does one grind recoil specifically? Kills on full auto?
Do I have to hit anything?
So dump cheap ammo right before extract? lol
how do you auto equip a gun or armor from a dead player or something
alt + left click
i do that
you must have a free slot for the item to equip
lemme check
ty
Wish they would keep the pre-wipe scavs as an option. Normal scavs are just run and headtap, but these guys with their space guns and heavy armor are really nice to practise on.
That'd be a nice offline feature
There is offline mode options... difficulty and spawn amount
You can't spawn raiders unless you're on labs and reserve
well yea... so keep a lab key...
although that only changea gear used... even cheap bullets kill on headshots
There is offline mode options... difficulty and spawn amount
@bold kernel But these guys have like modded SA-58, AK-74, full-protection headgear, grenades and so on. I don't remember the normal scavs to have that
Play offline mode on labs
Apart from their armour playing a part... I would think the practice in aim and reflexs being more important then simply the bullets required to kill them in offline
Are the scavs different there?
labs is only raiders
Well at the moment I am finding myself really being forced to practise getting to cover, firing from cover, aiming for the vital parts instead of one tapping scavs with a bandana in the head.
I enjoy getting to grips with the weapon system in a safer environment
Sounds more like a struggle with map knowledge then... If I'm ambushed I disengage and attempt to flank unexpectedly
If I feel there is no flank window... I abuse insurance
I'll use what cover there is to distribute gear and naked run at best window for a flank... find new gear.
Most people won't spend time to search fields of bushes and such to find guns and such...
I have to be somewhat out numbered for that though
I would say "struggle with map knowledge", more like just started playing and try to practise my shooting with a recoil system that's not like other games
Feel free to practice with guns offline before committing to using them. Modding isn't to late into the game and helps. There is a variety of options. Welcome to Tarkov. It's not most other games thankfully.
Definitely. Currently my goal is to build muscle memory, not get flustered with healing while under heavy fire and so on. Making the basics become natural. I can rat through any map without ever dying but that's not what I want to do forever
We have a deadicated server with guides and helpers to team up with and answer your questions. Also a twitch channel were I and others stream from and show things like how to work from rags to riches.
Already joined, but thank you very much!
max level traders yay!
same place normal scavs do
What does the green nametag mean? Some guy just jumped around a corner I was holding and blew my face shield out before he hit the ground

People like me prefire known corners
Either that or he saw you and had eagle eye reaction time
I doubt sherpa’s hack anyway
Yea, me and my bud are super new so we were, eh, camping interchange
no noise I think he just flicked the fuck outta me
Yea we kept down on that
He should be here
Might as well as him to be honest
I really, really doubt a sherpa’s hacking
Getting tarkoved huh
Dw bout it wipe is coming and tarkov just do be like that
You get used to it
if anyone needs help w anything hit me up
Sherpas don't hack, but you can let me know their name and I can see whats up
Literally no reason to
Sherpas are vetted and under more scrutiny than the normal player, it would be obvious to us
Probably a dumb question, but is a 20" barrel too long on an M4 for close to mid range?
Was looking for something that isn't gonna take away close range defense capabilities but can allow me to make those longer shots.
they are scamming us
For broken an irreparable visors
@bold kernel You have to contact modmail to apply for the clan leader role
I see, alright thank you.
I know. it was just a meme
Giving away blue cards for people that arent ready for wipe
giving blue keycards to people that dont have roubles/dollars during pre-wipe
(people need m61's)
Actually
Giving away 20k m61's per person, list a bandage for 20k m61's ill accept the offer within 5 minutes (THE FEE might be harsh, but if its too harsh, list something else)
@steel sphinx i dont need it but the fee for that is 40 m
I'm having a bit of trouble, I bougt an HHS-1 Eotech sight for my AK which it said it was compatible but I can't seem to put it on, does it need a type of mount?
AK-103 but someone is helping me out, thank you though!
oh nice
NO WAY BRO WIPE IS TOMORROW?
im new someone wanna help me?
It's pre wipe event, you can pretty much get anything you want. Just go ham as wipe is tomorrow
wipe be like
Should have done that too, was having a nade fight with someone. He out naded me because he did the same
I will out nade everyone. They can't have as many nades as i do
I wish i could have brought a belt rig and a raid bp so i could have more icases but.
just wait till one of the pins of the nades stuffed in your ass gets unpinned
this was a 1day prewipe only ? xd
can i drop a friend a gamma container and how?
nope
Containers can not be picked up by others, even if you drop them.
how much xp do you get from examining everything?
Anyone wanna mess around in Tarkov? Im very new and still have a lot to learn, but I have almost 3 million rubles to burn before the wipe
@brave canyon ill play

ANYONE NEEDS MONEY DM ME
noone needs money anymore dude
Is it 11pm or am Moscow time?
As in a few hours from now?
as in 9 hours from now
Oof
but they said servers go down for 3-5 hours
so dont expect to get online for 12-14 hours
(but knowing tarkov maybe more lol)
Definitely more lol
is it worth to upgrade from standard to prepare to escape ?
or should i wait and upgrade to EoD
Wait and upgrade to EoD
Anyone got any tips on how to level up fast tomorrow?
Aight thanks
Killing Scav bosses and raiders is a good choice
anyone want some free stuff before wipe?
you've got a toz you can lend?
dumb question
what sights can i use wtih the t7
and are their specific lasers that are better
Bro
What y’all doing for wipe tmr
It feels like Christmas Eve
I’m so ready to wipe
How do you use a T7? Seems like when you ADS you can't see anything because the gun and sight are all white. Do you just use iron sights?
yes
roger that
@humble sleet you can't use any sights except irons.
@past violet just as a warning, don't expect to be able to play tomorrow.
what is the fastest way to get rid of 127 mil?
buy red keycards
looking for someone with 6-10mil
dm me
pls
do it fast
do it NOWWWW
6-10mil
Why would I not be able to play tmr
@past violet because literally everyone will try and hop on, it'll put massive stress on the servers.
So the launcher will be fucky, and even if you do get into a game, there will not be enough servers for people to play on, so expect queue times that can last hours.
I can just make a medstation and start crafting salewas at level 1 right?
Oof
although fuel is piss easy to find if you know where to look
Where would that be?
Reserve and Interchange
Reserve, check along the K buildings (the huts across from train), check the floors, check the shelves. Any building with large shelves can have them, and I find them on the roof of White Pawn frequent enough.
On interchange, just check the shelves in Oli.
I see, thanks for writing that out
You think thats the best way to do the first therapist quest?
No, I think finding them normally in raid would be your best bet.
You can find them in places meds normally spawn, so some of the unlocked rooms on shoreline, and the med building in reserve
ALRIGHT
Peacekeeper - complete Skier's Friend from the West - Part 2, level 9 requirement
im going in
Fence - complete all quests
Need level 5 for first Skier quest
Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a big part of Escape from Tarkov.
There are currently 190 quests in Escape from Tarkov. Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehic...
I wonder if the examined items this wipe give you starting xp on the upcoming wipe
Since the examinations carry over
you're not gonna get the XP
@bold kernel what's so confusing
Is there a guide where it tells you all the items and keys you need to get for quests?
There's a couple on reddit
it doesn't matter?
you don't pick one trader and stick with that trader
you just accept different quests from the different traders
the first quests you have available are from Prapor and Therapist
something a streamer said is dont sell to flea unless you need to cuz you need that money spent to lvl up traders
well its true so it is advice isnt it?
so is accept all the quests and not just focus on one lol
I don't even know where you get that idea from anyways
@bold kernel if you're standard edition, Prapor's The Punisher - Part 6 could be a good goal to set for yourself to get the Epsilon container
you get access to the flea market
flea market is where you can buy gear that you can't buy from traders you haven't unlocked/leveled up
you can get quest items
well, some quest items
I mean, you need it to unlock the rest of therapist's quests.
Anyone here need loot?
Hey guys. Just had my last raid before the wipe.
Does anyone need some loot (thermals, slicks, 60-round mags, etc)?
Factory Night time going in with 900 KG of JUICE COME TRY TO FIGHT FOR IT!!!!!!
Im new need help
Factory Night time going in with 900 KG of JUICE COME TRY TO FIGHT FOR IT!!!!!!
Don't you die for a Scav 🤣
@spring talon wait for wipe
Wipe is literally in a few hours
just have fun for now
ok : )
wipe is literally in a few hours
he's telling you the game will be unplayable for a few days
for*
Hanzsu, is this your first wipe?
the servers will be garbo
The servers will be flooded with players trying to get one
Servers will be overwhelmed.
You might not even be able to get into the game.
if anyone wants any gear or money that's still playing lmk, i am done for the night and still have a ton of money left
if you need money , DM me for 5M in cash
So if i put an item in my secure container, does it lose FiR status or no?
