Its only that slot I can't put insurance in

crimson jasper
#

will they ever announce an exact date for wipe or will it always be an estimate?

green thistle
#

@crimson jasper Soon Soon

tepid fossil
#

Wipe is soon

#

Because when they say wipe is here

#

“No”

robust jackal
lapis mauve
#

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

wispy elbow
#

how do we start our own beginners assistance room

#

hey vexul

#

you gonna rejoin>?

#

can I recieb help

#

I used to play but Im new pretty much

silver hornet
#

what kind of help

craggy finch
#

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)

bold kernel
#

yet its still a much better game than many others

craggy finch
#

true, but slow development doesnt help

bold kernel
#

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

craggy finch
#

imagine if BSG was tripple A company

#

this game would be absolutely insane :D

bold kernel
#

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

olive night
#

Any tips on making money since i am running kinda low after losing good armor and guns

dusk nebula
#

@olive night same im just about at 1 mil and I cant support my self foer the rest of the wipe if this continue

olive night
#

yeah

stable gyro
#

@dusk nebula @olive night you probably seen this 3 words a 1mil times but yeah (use your scav)

dusk nebula
#

ew scav

slow whale
#

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. 😁

strong barn
#

@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?

bold kernel
#

@potent tusk ? how

tulip loom
#

@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

tired needle
#

hey, completly new, anybody playing? English/Polish preffered

vale wave
#

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 ;-;

strong barn
#

@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

tired needle
#

anybody wants to play with complete beginner?

tulip loom
#

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

strong barn
#

Super lame, maybe he used a 'extracurricular' program to help him get it 🤷

bold kernel
#

a what noe

#

now

tulip loom
#

dont be absurd nobody uses such programs in this game everyone is legit

#

🙂

bold kernel
#

wtf

strong barn
#

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

bold kernel
#

im so con

tulip loom
#

@bold kernel a bad program. one that you aren't supposed to use with the game

@edgy egret

arctic rune
#

@urban swan I would be down too

bold kernel
#

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

anyone new in tarkov, out there just give me a holler for help~

neon dust
#

literally just bought the game a few hours ago

vital mortar
#

Good luck, either you've watched a few videos and know what to do, or simply just ask questions on the chats

neon dust
#

I know what to do its just I don't know any good loot spots

vital mortar
#

You can find videos for loot spots/route for specific maps, so pick a map you want and look it up

neon dust
#

ok thanks :)\

vital mortar
#

Spend the time you can to learn the maps and mechanics, we're still waiting for wipe date

shut cairn
#

Should i sell all stuff that I dont need at the moment

lapis mauve
#

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)

shut cairn
#

ok

#

do I keep my levels after raid

#

i mean wipe

vital mortar
#

What he wrote is the general rule of thumbs,

#

no

lethal narwhal
#

no everything gets wiped

shut cairn
#

dang I might just quit tarkov since the wipe is coming soon

lapis mauve
#

It’s as if you just bought the game

lethal narwhal
#

only chads play rn so ull most likely get fucked

lapis mauve
#

Naw, now is a good time to practice. After wipe everyone will have the same gear as you

shut cairn
#

Ok

#

Ill just take my best stuff and shoot everything that moves

vital mortar
#

Practice as much as you can, then you'll get on a more even footing aas more experienced player

#

at wipe

lapis mauve
#

Although yes, you will probably die a lot to heavy geared people right now

shut cairn
#

Alright thanks

#

Im going to become one with the rats now

bold kernel
#

This is a perfectly good time to build strategy and supply lines.

#

It's been very profitable running practice streams on reserve.

vital mortar
#

A teased helmet, not out yet

fierce mortar
#

ohh it looks sick

lapis mauve
#

it looks like a mod to a fast mt or something like that

vital mortar
#

It's a helmet from Galac-tac. They got different variants of it.

vital mortar
#

Unfortunately those are stutters that everyone pretty much experience. There's no real solution but waiting for developers getting it fixed

brittle inlet
#

especially fight with scavs

#

when i aiming them i start stuttering

vital mortar
#

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

brittle inlet
#

ok thanks!

olive turret
#

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?

brittle inlet
#

ill try it, thanks

olive turret
#

if you got the stats from the eft console i think that can cause some issues too so turn it off

brittle inlet
#

no its the ingame one

#

oh ok

#

ill also test it

serene gust
#

i've not had a single stutter in weeks, so i thought that issue was resolved?

#

Evidentally not

silver hornet
#

they did some changes a few weeks ago

serene gust
#

It seems to have worked for me 100 percent

brittle inlet
#

i think i got thisi problem after they changed it

serene gust
#

Wasn't it an issue with ram?

#

Have you got auto ram cleaner turned on in settings?

brittle inlet
#

i cleaned before start the game

serene gust
#

is the option checked in game tho?

#

in the settings

brittle inlet
#

btw how often u guys clean ram

#

oh u mean that, do you suggest to turn it on or off?

serene gust
#

mines on, and i never have stutters anymore

brittle inlet
#

i thought was the launcher

#

okok

#

thanks man

serene gust
#

Just try it and see what happens

brittle inlet
#

ill try later today, cant do now 😦

serene gust
#

also, make sure you have Use only physical cores unchecked, as this caused me some issues

brittle inlet
#

ok

mental grotto
#

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.

hearty stratus
#

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.

bold kernel
#

i started 2 weeks ago

#

i know everymap but labs and interchange

vital mortar
#

Use your scav for customs to learn it, but expect to die as there are mostly chads running customs now

raven gazelle
#

ooooooo look at u lol

bold kernel
#

yea honestly almost every map sucks for new players right now

#

i cant get anything done anywhere but hatchet runs on reserve

hearty stratus
#

been doing offline pmc runs between scavs to learn vs ai, need to be able to kill them faster

mental grotto
#

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.

bold kernel
#

im scared of killing scavs

#

without a silncer on big open maps loikle that

#

because a pmc will hear you

#

and hunt you

mental grotto
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

exp

#

cant take that away from me

raven gazelle
#

just watch ur back when shooting them

#

ez

mental grotto
#

yeah, part of the fun! learned the hard way i dont get to loot most things i kill. just kill and move on

raven gazelle
#

if its a scav there is no need to loot cos there probs not gonna have anything

bold kernel
#

if i kill someone out in the open i just dont loot them

#

too dangeorus

mental grotto
#

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.

twin apex
#

I check scavs I killed for keycards

silver hornet

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

vale wave
#

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?

exotic jungle
#

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

crimson jasper
#

anyone wanna do low budget runs?

shrewd needle
#

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...

shrewd needle

no i mean the weapon modding i unlock through mechanic

ye but how

#

what do I do

lapis mauve

oli

remote spoke
#

pistol run

lapis mauve
#

go to oli, pick up whatever you see, extract

remote spoke
#

and rush all the tech stores

lapis mauve
#

can do it as scav too

remote spoke
#

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

tawny pulsar
#

is the fuel you buy from Jaeger full?

lapis mauve
#

yes

#

the ones on flea you need to inspect to see if they are full

tawny pulsar
#

thx

zealous swallow
#

@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

Ur Welcome😋

low coral
#

can you mount flashlights to helmets?

bold kernel
#

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

acoustic chasm
#

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)

bold kernel
#

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

acoustic chasm
#

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

bold kernel
#

it was a scav run so nothing i could help with that

acoustic chasm
#

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

bold kernel
#

so are you saying, with BT he would've died?

acoustic chasm
#

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

bold kernel
#

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

acoustic chasm
#

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

bold kernel
#

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

acoustic chasm
#

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

bold kernel
#

what im saying, if it's invincible against 90% of the guns it's a bit stupid

acoustic chasm
#

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

mental grotto
#

lvl 4 irl body armor stopping AK round

acoustic chasm
#

tarkov has gameify'd body armor

#

otherwise it really would be people being tanks

#

lol

bold kernel
#

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

olive turret
#

dunno if he was using shitty ammo against level 4 armor he could probably one tap you

acoustic chasm
#

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

bold kernel
#

it's beginners-assistance, what do you expect?? a pro player coming here asking for beginners assistance? wtf haha

acoustic chasm
#

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

bold kernel
#

i don't understand it any better, you explained piercing and told me what i already know about ammo

acoustic chasm
#

Then why dont you understand your clip?

olive turret
#

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

acoustic chasm
#

Its scavs, you could have just one tapped their dumb ass AI half way across the parking garage

bold kernel
#

@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

olive turret
#

as a pmc with decent ammo or armor sure as a scav with bad ammo no

bold kernel
#

and it's not AI, this was two players

olive turret
#

looked like guards or raiders to me

acoustic chasm
#

the tracer rounds

#

give it away

#

just before he dies

#

kek

#

defo the ai

bold kernel
#

eh, they had a nickname

#

in kill screen

olive turret
#

gluhars goons then

acoustic chasm
#

yeah they have actual names

olive turret
#

i see a third bald man in the back

bold kernel
#

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

acoustic chasm
#

Please do it may be a humbling experience

mental grotto
#

What would be a decent map to learn starting out right now?

bold kernel
#

1 more question, what mods should i attach to as val to make it op?

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.

untold crow
#

ive had luck on shoreline @plain quarry

bold kernel
#

despite the 6b armor that i had i died to 1 burst from unknown distance. lol

languid quarry
#

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?

weary fern
#

Either standard or edge of darkness

untold crow
#

the most expensive one gives you a big stash and the biggest storage container

languid quarry
#

like, do i need that? or can i buy a bigger stash also later on?

untold crow
#

Yes you can upgrade anytime

weary fern
#

Takes some questing to get the epsilon container which is 8 spaces while eod gamma is 9 spaces

lapis mauve
#

you can upgrade stash size in hideout

weary fern
#

The stash space feels really small on standard

lapis mauve
#

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

languid quarry
#

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

lapis mauve
#

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

weary fern
#

If you have money get eod

lapis mauve
#

i started with standard and upgraded by 1 size when there was a sale until i got eod

weary fern
#

Also you have to reset your account if you upgrade from standard to eod

lapis mauve
#

not anymore

#

they send new stuff in mail

weary fern
#

Oh

lapis mauve
#

yeah, nice change

#

one of my friends upgraded this wipe and didn't need to reset

weary fern
#

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

languid quarry
#

I see, will check out some YT vids of the game, i also heard this game is pretty hard

weary fern
#

Not very beginner friendly

lapis mauve
#

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

weary fern
#

Yea you have to be willing to study the game

lapis mauve
#

once you get it down its fun, and soon there will be a wipe so everyone will have starting gear again

languid quarry
#

a wipe? like they do this every now and then?

bold kernel
#

@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

lapis mauve
#

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!

languid quarry
#

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

lapis mauve
#

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

untold crow
#

so do i do that if i want help killing a scav boss?

lapis mauve
#

i would consider helping but i'm halfway passed out and should probably sleep

I joined the sherpa hub 🙂 thanks

bold kernel
#

Cool. I'll see about streaming later today aswell. Lemme know if you want to team up.

languid quarry
#

yeah i'd like to team up :), i'm watching alot of YT content right now

bold kernel
#

@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...

steady igloo
#

Anybody here? Trying to learn as much as possible before the reset

bold kernel
#

This is just an empty room. For target practice

steady igloo
#

Oh okay

bold kernel
#

@steady igloo Shoot your questions

steady igloo
#

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

paper flame
#

There's a chance they are landing, but not penetrating their armor

bold kernel
#

Multiple influences... Bullet drop, armour, aim, damage dealt, possibly even ghost bullets in some instances I feel.

steady igloo
#

I just always seem to be missing then. I’ve shot multiple scavs and nothing happens. I get tapped

paper flame
#

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..

bold kernel
#

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

steady igloo
#

Ok

#

Any map in general to start on?

#

And how can I get weapons? I have none left now

bold kernel
#

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

steady igloo
#

Sweet.

#

I am going to run some interchange scavs now

#

I appreciate it!

languid quarry
#

Damn, got smoked while running as a scav 🤣

steady igloo
#

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

paper flame
#

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

vital mortar
#

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

paper flame
#

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.

vital mortar
#

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

bold kernel
#

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...

flat cipher
#

@steady igloo do you play with max fov

#

Bc that affects aim quite a bit

bold kernel
#

@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.

bold kernel
#

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

wheat zephyr
#

new player here where can i find the tutorial?

tepid fossil
#

YouTube

bold kernel
#

i need to find that to

tepid fossil
#

You find the tutorial on YouTube

#

You learn how to mod weapons by yourself

bold kernel
#

ok

#

@flat cipher what does altering your FOV accomplish?

raven gazelle
#

ur fov is how wide ur character sees

waxen breach
#

how to overcome gear-fear

flat cipher
#

There's a bug where if your fov is maxed out, then some iron sights/optics are completely fucked in terms of actually aiming

bold kernel
#

oh

#

thats good to know

flat cipher
#

so leave it at mid 60 until it gets fixed

bold kernel
#

I have gear gear too simply because 75% of the time on my PMC I get killed without ever seeing the person

#

😂

waxen breach
#

me too

#

xd

tepid fossil
#

@flat cipher what sights is it bugged on?

#

I swapped my fov to 75 and used the pk-06 and it was all fine

flat cipher
#

like, most of them

tepid fossil
#

I’ll swap back to 59 then

bold kernel
#

do raiders spawn in offline labs?

tepid fossil
#

If you tick pve on yes

bold kernel
#

it is but they still not spawning

tepid fossil
#

Wait for a big

kind osprey
#

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?

dire rock
#

@kind osprey sure what can i help you with?

pulsar basalt
#

I'm in the same boat as faktas. I'm also day 2

desert hull
#

@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

pearl olive
#

Will the raiders spawn on offline maps? @desert hull

pulsar basalt
#

Would it wipe even tho i got almost nothing? Also does a wipe reset the hideout?

desert hull
#

@pearl olive I am not sure

#

@pulsar basalt yes, everyone gets fully wiped

#

and yes

pearl olive
#

@pulsar basalt From my understanding, your account will be wiped down to the items you get form the edition that you bought

pulsar basalt
#

Does it give us the stuff back from when we bought the game or is there 0 equipment

#

Ok cool thx

desert hull
#

it will be like you just started

pulsar basalt
#

Ok lol wont be set to far back😂

desert hull
#

use this time as practice

#

for the real thing coming soon

#

trust me, post wipe is very fun

pulsar basalt
#

Ok thx. Any good ppl out there cause randoms just shoot me when I join the squad

desert hull
#

and it'll feel more fair than starting out seriously now

#

never join rando squads

#

only use this discord

pearl olive
#

Yes, joining randos squads = auto death

pulsar basalt
#

Ok

#

Does a wile reset level?

#

Wipe*

raven gazelle
#

yes

#

everything

desert hull
#

as if you just bought the game

pulsar basalt
#

Any other tips for survival and getting good gear?

raven gazelle
#

rn farm raiders if u can kill them if u cant kill them then no ur screwed lol

desert hull
#

@pulsar basalt play slower than you probably think you need to

anyone wanna play with noob? kinda new just wanna learn stuff before wipe?

Noob looking for people who can show him the way to escape, i've seen YT vids but would like some advice IG etc.

desert hull
#

@languid quarry So are you asking for a dude to answer questions or for someone to squad?

languid quarry
#

both 🙂

desert hull
#

I can do the former

#

dont think ill be playing any tarkov till wipe though

languid quarry
#

I see, I heard with a wipe there will be new stuff implented to the game right?

rugged rain
#

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

silver hornet
#

@rugged rain post a screenshot

@languid quarry new features, yes

bold kernel
#

Prioritize. Mainly money will be needed to be the most flexible... once your comfortable expand to upgrades as you see fit...

silver hornet
#

there won't be that much new content this wipe, but mainly new feature

rugged rain
silver hornet
#

also yeah nothing matters because pre-wipe events have started

rugged rain
#

aw damn

#

now i feel stupid haha

lapis surge
#

So wait, so all scavs are now raiders until the pre wipe is over?

vital mortar
#

yep, except player scavs, they remain as regular scavs

lapis surge
#

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

vital mortar
#

But if you do get them, you can get decent gear

lapis surge
#

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

vital mortar
#

Wait till unlimited money, then you'll be able to scrape up some gear

wild falcon
#

wait i thought everyhting gets really cheap during prewipe

#

why didnt it happpen?

bold kernel
#

that happens later

#

like tomorrow or day after. They roll something different out every day

#

ish

#

So what's the current event going on?

lapis surge
#

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

paper flame
#

So that's why these scavs have been tanking some hits lol

solar oasis
#

i sruvived ffs

silver hornet
#

@bold kernel raiders on every map

#

Pestily says that unlimited money/cheap traders are tomorrow

bold kernel

mosin can also use any 762 ak suppressors and 308 suppressors with adaptors

bold kernel
#

what maps dont have raiders

silver hornet
#

only Interchange, but that's bugged AFAIK

bold kernel
#

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

silver hornet
#

I mean

#

it doesn't matter because everyone's getting infinite money soon.

bold kernel
#

i know its just more of a personal thing

#

I know the money itself doesnt matter, just want to win the competition!

raven gazelle
#

the competition?

silver hornet
#

read up

raven gazelle
#

where?

strong jolt
#

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?

silver hornet
#

might be pre-wipe

frozen bison
#

Newbie player here been doing shoreline runs is that a good map to start on?

subtle basin
#

yes

silver hornet
#

yes

#

Customs is a good map to learn too, because all of the beginner quests are there

subtle basin
#

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

silver hornet
#

Yeah, hopefully the Customs expansion will fix the chokepoint issue

#

I mean I doubt it, but here's to being hopeful.

bold kernel
#

what is that

#

im new af

frozen bison
#

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

bold kernel
#

what day is wipe

#

Any ballistic experts here?

silver hornet
#

define "ballistic experts"

#

@frozen bison pre-wipe event, every map has raiders.

@bold kernel no idea, either this weekend, or early next week.

frozen bison
#

@silver hornet define raiders.

silver hornet
#

scavs with better AI + better gear.

frozen bison
#

Thank you kindly.

silver hornet
#

Typically only found on Labs and Reserve.

frozen bison
#

Oh hence why ive been getting ruined

serene gust
#

@silver hornet Why is the choke point an issue?

silver hornet
#

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.

frozen bison
#

Guess im doing ok=ish 2 days playing got about 1.2 million rubles not great but better then my mates negative income lol,

silver hornet
#

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

frozen bison
#

trying to learn 1 map at a time

serene gust
#

Yeh, i believe that's deliberate

silver hornet
#

Yeah and it doesn't exactly make for good design

frozen bison
#

i think i saw a youtuber talking about bad designs on customs i thinkk

serene gust
#

Yeh, that's an opinion

frozen bison
#

like you could throw a grenade into spawn ect

serene gust
#

i like that you hve the danger pushing between sides

silver hornet
#

Not to mention that Customs has shit loot outside of dorms, and is where most of the beginner quests are

serene gust
#

The loot is an issue i agree with that

silver hornet
#

Interchange still has shit extracts + shit lighting

#

but arguably some of the best loot

frozen bison
#

is it best to go offline to learn maps you guys think?

serene gust
#

Also a very true statement lol

silver hornet
#

yes

#

Reserve has shit extracts outside of cliff and also has really good loot

serene gust
#

i like the harder extracts also

frozen bison
#

This knowledge is golden

silver hornet
#

Reserve is my favorite map

#

And it's very easy once you get an RR

#

Interchange's extracts are just garbage.

serene gust
#

Reserve and Customs are my fav maps

frozen bison
#

i killed my first man today PepePls feels good,

silver hornet
#

nice

serene gust
#

GG

frozen bison
#

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?

silver hornet
#

eh, depends

frozen bison
#

true these guys are new as i am so probably why i think that atm lol

#

people i play with are newbies,

bold kernel
#

So does this mean the wipe is coming very soon?

subtle basin
#

in about a week give or take some days

digital sand

found this on a raider on factory

THERE ARE A BUNCH OF RAIDER ON FACTORY

IS GOING ON

what?

raiders spawn on factory now

#

prewipe event

digital sand

OH THE event hit

omg

yeah

digital sand
#

first wipe kinda ready

radiant sable
#

Ez loot

bold kernel
#

oof who just leaves a 180k value helmet laying around

dire rock
#

@bold kernel someone who doesn't care bc they have a stash value equal to the US defense budget

bold kernel
#

true but for a lvl 4 player thats un thinkable

gentle stratus
hearty heart
#

does anyone know why there aren't any scavs spawning in offline mode/horde mode?

silver hornet
#

all scavs are replaced with raiders

bold kernel
#

he probably picked up something better and hoped nobody would pick that helmet up and insurance to return it

wind granite
#

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

valid pawn
#

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

wind granite
#

It's just carrying that much extra cost is kinda nuts imo

valid pawn
#

if you have room you should gamma the extra bullets, actually this applies to all ammo

naive ice
#

Bringing 5 mags of bp for my vss over 400k alone but I can grab slicks and stuff off people

valid pawn
#

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

wind granite
#

Damg I mostly just get shot and die from someone

valid pawn
#

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

lapis mauve
#

@hearty heart click the box that say enable bosses

wild falcon
#

does anyone know when the next event hits

regal plover
#

No.

hearty heart
#

@hearty heart click the box that say enable bosses
@lapis mauve nah, still nothing spawning

bold kernel
#

there's a button that says enable PVE and then you can set how many spawn and what difficulty

raven gazelle
#

did they fix the thing were there r no raiders on interchange?

acoustic chasm
#

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

bold kernel
#

Do raiders just shoot everything, pmc's and scavs? had some weird experiences with them

vital nymph
#

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

bold kernel
#

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

desert hull
#

@ornate bolt Well you know about the prewipe event right now right?

ornate bolt
#

Yeah I do but this has happened before aswell

#

I have played since march

desert hull
#

Its a complicated problem because I can't tell you what you're doing to cause it

#

does this happen on all maps?

ornate bolt
#

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

desert hull
#

what do you do in the first say, 10 minutes of a raid

ornate bolt
#

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

desert hull
#

So you're moving as soon as the raid starts?

ornate bolt
#

Yeah

desert hull
#

Like as soon as customs starts you're moving to dorms/con

ornate bolt
#

I dont go to dorms but basically yeah like that

desert hull
#

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

ornate bolt
#

Yeah I know that I will meet people but I hope to get a firefight not onetaped

desert hull
#

well this late in the wipe you're gonna get one tapped

#

what armor do you wear?

ornate bolt
#

Usually like class 3-4 sometimes 5 and as a helmet like Achhc and Ulach's

desert hull
#

class 3-4 wont stop anything a player shots this late

bold kernel
#

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

desert hull
#

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

ornate bolt
#

Thanks for the advice

desert hull
#

it often helps to routinely stop and survey the enviroment

ornate bolt
#

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?

desert hull
#

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

ornate bolt
#

Okay I'll try

remote spoke
#

what lvl are you?

arctic rune
#

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

remote spoke
#

you need yo mod the gun

paper flame
#

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

arctic rune
#

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

desert hull
#

@arctic rune Do you understand how the recoil works in this game?

arctic rune
#

Are you talking about the automated recoil control?

desert hull
#

yes

arctic rune
#

PAINFULLY aware of how it works, because I am not a fan

desert hull
#

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

bold kernel
#

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

desert hull
#

Tarkov's automated recoil control would be fine if you could burst

#

they definitely need to rework the system to allow burst fire

arctic rune
#

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

desert hull
#

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

bold kernel
#

seeing how labs clearing and max recoil skills can remove recoil almost entirely. The grind is a task in it self.

desert hull
#

labs clearing?

bold kernel
#

typo... on mobile. ppl get alot.od grind n practice clearing labs... max skill grind removes alot of recoil

paper flame
#

how does one grind recoil specifically? Kills on full auto?

bold kernel
#

also weapon condition plays a strong part in bullet spread

#

shoot your gun

paper flame
#

Do I have to hit anything?

silver hornet
#

Grinding recoil control is literally just shooting your gun.

#

Nope.

paper flame
#

So dump cheap ammo right before extract? lol

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.

silver hornet
#

That'd be a nice offline feature

bold kernel
#

There is offline mode options... difficulty and spawn amount

silver hornet
#

You can't spawn raiders unless you're on labs and reserve

bold kernel
#

well yea... so keep a lab key...

#

although that only changea gear used... even cheap bullets kill on headshots

arctic rune
#

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

silver hornet
#

Play offline mode on labs

bold kernel
#

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

arctic rune
#

Are the scavs different there?

bold kernel
#

labs is only raiders

arctic rune
#

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

bold kernel
#

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

arctic rune
#

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

bold kernel
#

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.

arctic rune
#

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

bold kernel
#

nope. But a it's good to find a base to work from.

#

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

tepid fossil
#

@vale wave green with leaf?

#

It’s a sherpa

vale wave
#

Oh, shit

#

I 100% called hacks on him, that shit does not look legit

tepid fossil
#

People like me prefire known corners

#

Either that or he saw you and had eagle eye reaction time

#

I doubt sherpa’s hack anyway

vale wave
#

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

tepid fossil
#

It’s more of an experience thing I guess

#

There’s also shuffling which makes noise

vale wave
#

Yea we kept down on that

tepid fossil
#

He should be here

#

Might as well as him to be honest

#

I really, really doubt a sherpa’s hacking

vale wave
#

Yeah, I was just salty asf

#

had a real bad streak

Getting tarkoved huh

Sherpas don't hack, but you can let me know their name and I can see whats up

tepid fossil
#

Literally no reason to

vernal anchor
#

Sherpas are vetted and under more scrutiny than the normal player, it would be obvious to us

paper flame
#

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.

Wait and upgrade to EoD

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

past violet
#

Bro

#

What y’all doing for wipe tmr

#

It feels like Christmas Eve

#

I’m so ready to wipe

strong jolt
#

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?

flat cipher
#

yes

strong jolt
#

roger that

silver hornet
#

@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.

raven gazelle

what is the fastest way to get rid of 127 mil?

silver hornet

looking for someone with 6-10mil

dm me

#

pls

#

do it fast

#

do it NOWWWW

#

6-10mil

past violet
#

Why would I not be able to play tmr

bold kernel
#

server congestion

#

and all that jazz

silver hornet
#

@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.

#

Sad but true

weary fern
#

I can just make a medstation and start crafting salewas at level 1 right?

silver hornet
#

yeah

#

you need fuel though

weary fern
#

Oof

silver hornet
#

although fuel is piss easy to find if you know where to look

weary fern
#

Where would that be?

silver hornet
#

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.

weary fern
#

I see, thanks for writing that out

#

You think thats the best way to do the first therapist quest?

silver hornet
#

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

weary fern
#

Oke

#

So you need a level 1 generator with fuel to craft anything?

silver hornet
#

yep

#

except for stuff in the crapper

#

where you craft magcases and stuff

ashen laurel

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

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...

silver hornet
#

Fence: Complete all* quests.

#

some aren't required.

weary fern
#

I wonder if the examined items this wipe give you starting xp on the upcoming wipe

#

Since the examinations carry over

silver hornet
#

you're not gonna get the XP

proven fable
#

thank god they added the second wipe even

#

just raiders were so boring and annoying

silver hornet
#

@bold kernel what's so confusing

weary fern
#

Is there a guide where it tells you all the items and keys you need to get for quests?

silver hornet
#

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

crimson jasper
#

something a streamer said is dont sell to flea unless you need to cuz you need that money spent to lvl up traders

silver hornet
#

the fuck kind of advice is that?

#

isn't that obvious?

crimson jasper
#

well its true so it is advice isnt it?

silver hornet
#

I just don't get why that's advice in the first place

#

that's obvious enough

crimson jasper
#

so is accept all the quests and not just focus on one lol

silver hornet
#

I don't even know where you get that idea from anyways

weary fern
#

@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

silver hornet
#

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

silver hornet
#

I mean, you need it to unlock the rest of therapist's quests.
