they did change the run through/survived thing. if you get 600 xp or stay in raid for 10 min or more you survive. currently its based on xp only
who wants a docs case full of bitcoins
yeah, all hideout and quest stuff will be super expensive
Dm me if you need cash got docs case of bitcoins
50 min till wipe
shit
sugar maybe not right away
SERVER WILL WIPE IN 26 MINS
intel when people start unlocking stuff in the hideout
You can buy gen 4 assaults, ulachs and stuff like that for 20 rub off the traders
atm
Basically everything costs nothing
5Mins left untill the wipe
5 days until game is playable 🙂
real optimist you aren't you
2 mins left
I'M STILL INGAME
you will be wiped
tarkov prime
@tepid fossil HI
ARE YOU READY FOR WIPE HANZSU????
Oke now server closed connection
o
your not allowed to be in that chat, your to much of a scrub
it's because of the update
how should i behave after the wipe? took me like 10 game hours to get to level 9 before the wipe, so i have no idea on how to behave as i pretty much suck, like i tried spending all my money on a gen4 and helmet and died in the first gunfight so i'm scared for the upcoming wipe
@plush fossil Dont worry, everyone will have no gear. Everyone will be at the no gear level. You will be even with all other players
@placid igloo only problem is that i still suck at the game lol, any advice on how to play the early stages?
I plan on scav running
Always use your scav
I have no really good tips because tarkov is too complex
Hit your shots and learn the maps
The longer you play the better you get
3000~ hours and 2 and a half wipes under my belt and there are still way better players with me
I've learned that unless I can tap them in the face, my chances of survival are low against PMCs
So, I've been getting better at headshots as a result 🥴
Dropped a dude with a scav adar and whatever shitty ammo it had because I got lucky and blew his nose off.
Any ammo always one taps a face with no visor
Although some shotgun buckshot pellets deal less than 35 damage individually
I figured if I was ever gonna do a shotgun, slugs would be the best bet
what are the weight limits?
when do you become encumbered
and when do you become over-encumbered
I haven't played in some time so I don't know the exact numbers
If any new players need help, msg me and I’ll show you maps and how to play
@naive lion :
70/75KG
About 30KG
About 40KG
thanks
Np m8!
server up?
heelo me beginer. Just wondering why daddy nikita primose me 3-5 hours and i am not in
Is binaural audio steam audio? Should I enable it?
Yes
It's the first Module of Steam Audio, so I would heavily recommend using it, if only to be a lab rat
What is steam audio
Essentially, at this point, the first step to Surround Sound
o
Right now, I'm 99% certain that EFT uses Stereo, hence why finding out the direction of gunfire, etc, is nearly impossible half the time
should i sell my cases i get from the gift when i get on?
Is it woorth selling the gift from new year?
or keep
money case and medcase i mean

Hello everyone. Can someone tell me more about the mouse sensitivity issues in this game and how to combat them so I can play the game? Anyone got a minute?
Apparently mouse sens changes depending on your weight and gear?
what should I do with valuables like ORZ's and sugars rn?

Same
Try reinstalling your game

yes most people have this issue dont restart ur game it will only make it worse

@halcyon patio no
Does tagged and cursed stop with just a pistol and rig
I think you need two pieces of gear + a weapon

how do i get the "christmas gifts"
redeem on official page
thanks
@steep hearth
i always try to check the right two and see if i can squeeze in the Left weapon case but thats usually a hot zone.
@bright mirage where on the site?
At smokestack, You need to go up the stairs, one is on the second floor(left side), the other is on the top floor (right side
when did u get the game?
you will only get the new years gifts if you started playing before this year
back in alpha
i did start playing before this year
What does that consist of Mako?
Ah yes. New clean slate, same old Tarkov, 4 raids 4 deaths 0 k/d
some guns a case n such
@sand siren It definitely plays differently early wipe
should i be trying to do tasks or wait a little bit
I would do tasks early
My one-on-one gunplay with players definitely needs improvement, I was hoping that since everyone isn't running around with expensive gear and ammo I might be able to even the score a bit but so far that's not the case. I can run around and kill scavs all day in offline mode but players just give me a ton of trouble
but you might want to just do some loot runs first to get real gear
@sand siren try changing the difficulty on scavs in offline to it should help
lol i finish 3 bears one by one and think oh that must be all of them. then pops up a 4th one
while im healing
right click cancels animation right?
not so realistic to pack up meds while getting shot. you drop that shit
did u win the encounter
I've seen people play some sort of offline mode with scavs. How does one do that?
no he was shooting me for 5 seconds while I was putting the needles back in the case
and weaving
when selecting pmc mode, just check offline mode
in one of the next pages
Thanks, buddy.
why does it take me 1 hour to find a agame in customs
The servers are likely REALLY overloaded. There are SO many people looking for a match that is it having difficulty running enough server instances for everybody.
aight
Does anyone here know the descriptions to the new perks of both factions?
is there a list anywhere
got the game yesterday and looking for somebody to help me out. Im having a rough time finding weapons and whenever I die im left confused. If anybody wants to help out by running through a few raids I will be very grateful. NA east
@warm cave yeah sure I'm playing right now
like 45k to therapist iirc @gentle stratus
@desert hull where you wanna talk?
kk
are scav runs working? Im stuck on matching :/
Can anyone help a shitty nub
@mint eagle I just completed a scav run. That run alone taught me a bit. I was unaware that people can just stack backpacks inside each other. I found a bag full of loot stuffed inside another bag, inside another bag. So I put my bag in that bag and took the new one out with me. Confusing, but interesting.
This game is overwhelming as all hell! Fun, though.
As a complete noob. What should I be doing in my first few plays in game?
get to know the map
where to look for scavs <npcs> and where to watch out for players. take all the fights you can to learn the combat and die a lot.
Should I use all the guns I have or hold onto them and just use pistols? Also, can you complete quest objectives as a scav?
some. if you need to find an item in raid, then yes, like the gas analiser or shotguns for preper
and use all guns, see what suits you most
at least thats what i did lst wipe when i started and what i do now
Makes sense. Guess I'm just kinda scared to get stuck with just pistols for PMC until I can get a scav run through lol
Makes sense to YOLO it all and learn tho
I am currently on my last gun and 14k roubles. if i lose it now, I will be forced to scav and wait
part of the learning process
Are kill quests like the scav kills one only for PMCs. Do they not count on scav?
I am honestly not sure. probably pmc only
They're PMC only.
The only quests you can do as a scav are getting items to hand in for quests.
that extract is kinda weird move around it
oh shit nice
i should wait to sell on flea market yh?
i get way to nervous xD
You go in labs like pestily with a pp19 and kill 4 raiders and get out
Anyone want to group?
@dire epoch are you NA?
@robust schooner ill group with you but im probably not going to be much better lol
Anyone wanna group up with a newbie? 🙂
EU or NA?
EU
im new and I would love to get some help. Thanks
Anyone want to school me in the ways of the rat?
@dire epoch Sorry I was in a raid but was just gonna say if you want a duo partner I'm cool to play some with you
it is on the wiki
9x18mm didnt get any change
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/.366_TKM
also there is a fake fast mt in tarkov now
which is just a prop with lv1 protection lol
@desert hull maybe. I'm at work right now.
9x19?
@charred heart Sure, if you want to run some raids or if you just want questions answered I can do both
not sure if anything is changed
maybe they haven't got the stats yet
maybe
is there like a list of what to keep for quests and hideout and what to sell
alot
any sherpas available im fairly new and would appreciate help
!sherpahub
@wanton oracle ^
Wasnt you able to find game faster if you select more servers?
looking for someone to help me out
can someone tell me how to look at your exstracs i forgot
double tab o
Batman u NA?

no
How do we enable "Steam" audio? Is is the "Binaural" sound option?
yes
Thank you sir
requires restart after marking it
cool, doing it now. looking forward to testing it out.
cant launch the game I keep getting error downloading essential data
not a beginner but i have no gifts to redeem i had the game before Christmas
u should
If anyone wants a competent duo partner to help them I'm available, just about to go into a raid
just doing customs quests currently
@raven gazelle sadly i dont
thats unlucky
@sly cobalt hows the difference?
You'll be able to distinguish whether whoever is walking is on the same floor as you or not. But sometimes the overall volume feels a bit muffled or something like that
does factory key still spawn at the old spawns?
This might be the inner scavenger rat in me talking, but damn do I love finding dead PMCs with their gear still on.
Do i need to heal fractures or can i just wait?
@marble blade in game or after a raid?
@paper flame that also means usually you're in someone's sights
@desert hull after raid
it will heal eventually
I got lucky then O:
but if you're raiding actively just heal it
nah imma watch streams while waiting
LFG customs pretty new
@marble blade its just a cheap 2000 rouble splint
who wants to start doin some quests
yea
hey does anybody know the price on flea market of a 216 west wing key for shoreline?
should i be upgrading hideout early on? if so which parts of it?
Probably all of it
Can’t even get into a raid after the patch
Yea there are a lot of people on right about now
anyone got customs big red office key?
Does dying in raid with found in raid items maintain their status or in order to leave with found in raid items you must have 1k xp?
no it doesn't maintain their status. You must survive with the items to make them FIR
One of my friends said otherwise
sadly I have shoved some valuable items up my ass, just to have them not have the found in raid status when i get back to my inv
lol
Which prapor quest do I do? Shootout picnic or delivery from the past?
@static lance you need to do both but shootout is easier
How come i did not get XP when i did a scav run then extracted?
@bold kernel You get scav xp, it doesn't go to your pmc.
Oh ok
Tfw you have to leave an 1800/1800 Grizzly pack in the Jaegar stash because the scav you spawned in on didn't have a backpack
ouch
oof m8
It hurt. I tried to find a pack nearby, but to no avail.
anyone else having raids take 10 mins to load ?
alright as long as its not just me
all my raids have been fine, but i'm not playing customs or reserve
ahhh ok
I still need to learn Interchange
I keep key hunting but I haven't gotten a single one yet
takes time for some of it
Before wipe, I always enjoyed spawning in as a scav and having a labs keycard on me lol
I did get lucky last raid and take home 30 7n39
because i outsmart one guy and next you know there is someone else conviniently camping 20 minutes on bushes
not shooting one round entire time i take to go around the area
that dude either had a friend or you got third party'd
Is there a certain map I should be starting on as a beginner?
hi guys
finally home and patched. pretty new to tarkov and brand new to discord. just wanted to say hello
hoping servers arent on fire
Trading 24-23 use rb-bk for a 24-23 use rb-vo key.
@unborn lark 10m wait time is average atm AFAIK
thats fine, i got my switch and civ 6 riding shotgun
@unborn lark We could Smash while we wait for lobbies lol
im the one switch owner without smash lol
It's okay Im the one switch owner without Animal Crossing 🤮
haha, got that for my daughter and found myself kind of enjoying it
My wife has like 600+ hours in the new Animal Crossing lol
im ashamed so i got tarkov immediately to raise my testosterone levels back
absolutely feel the estrogen if I played Animal Crossing
my goal was to get my daughter into gaming tho and it worked!
Ah it's not that bad. It's nice and relaxing if you're in the mood for that sorta thing
now ive got a co-conspirator to help bug my wife for us to spend more $$ on gaming stuff
gotta get the 5 year old to bed before i can play though. off to do just that see you in game
is clorine worth looting/keeping? how bout survL lighter and bug spray? im assuming dfuel and nacl still worth a lot of money
What is "Run Through" status?
you didnt get enough experience via looting/killing/surviving so you get a exp penalty. and doesnt count as a completed run on stats. certain quests need a complete run. not a big deal on last patch...not sure about this one
does the praper shotgun have to be found in raid?
Is anyone else not able to retrieve their new years gift from last wipe?
I didnt get mine yet
it will say find in raid on quest if it cant be bought off flea
its under profile on tarkov website. then claim holiday gift
mine was all the way on the bottom. it was a picture of a p90 and an item box or something. didnt look like a clickable thing
trizip doesnt have speed penalty anymore?
I have a found in raid g phone x. I love it
i am using tarkov-market.com to check prices before lvl 10
@zealous knot that system was scrapped, its based on your weight
higher weight makes your sprint take longer to activate and slows stam recovery
ok ok i see
Too much weight will make you slower, way too much weight will drain your stamina by walking, and only recover when you stand still
anyone want to group up and help a new player out?
Buckshot spreads and does moderate damage with pellets and slugs are semi-accurate high damage with one projectile
Since neither can penetrate much I recommend buckshot and go for headshots
thx
as a new player should I be buying paca armor and ssh helmets or saving my money?
paca and ssh will save your life from them pistol runners, and the lower tiers ammo many are using
Yo was anyone just a mosling on reserves. Because if you were friendly to a random bear near scav lands. you saved me and my team mate near sewer manhole.
So, how much would a grizzly FAK cost at the Flea Market?
grizzly around 35k
Thanks.
Not worth much anymore with post healing
All of you using post raid healing are losing out on a lot of Health points to your Health Skill but don't listen to me; keep using the post raid heal 🤷
@strong barn way less expensive though
and you dont get XP from healing in stash anyway
think you need to at least be in hideout?
Arguable the difference really
If its more expensive; that extra money can be thought about going directly into your heal stat
Start building it now; your gunna take alot of damage 🤷
but don't listen to me; keep using the post raid heal 🤷
@strong barn
Was there a certain map I should be running as a new player trying to learn the game/level up and such?
What keys are good for dorms?
Customs is easy to learn, also where most of your beginners quest takes place. As for good keys for dorms would be marked key, any of the keys with the safe in it i guess
any sherpas here that could teach me
i would like to be able to stream on twitch and know what im doing
@little pecan Marked, 105 (two story), 110 (two story), 114 (two story), 204 (three story), and 214 (three story),
How much will Cigs sell at Flea?
F
yeah you got one out of the four cigs that suck
3 are used for quests, that one's only good for bartering
Just had server drop connection and didn't let me rejoin
Powerful
Thank you Tarkov
what's that "improved the quality of loot issued for a succesfull extraction with a friendly scav" thing ??
Should I insure my stuff for factory?
yes always insure@weary fern
always insure, you might get lucky
How much do you think if I sell the parts?
nothing much.
Rip
I very luckily found it in a stash with the very experienced help of @pallid ridge #8523
what the hell it pinged him
Hello everyone, I read online that in the past if you had a gamma container you could gift it to a friend by dropping it in raid and then refresh your account so that both of you could have a gamma. Is this still possible? and if it is what is BSG stance on this? can you get banned for doing this or they simply don't care?
Yuh I took out a squad of two guys with one
Essentially I would like to gift a gamma to a friend if I can but I won't do it if I can get in trouble for it
And Micosil if you abuse the system like that for sure you getting banned
So I probably wouldn't
Sounds good @bold kernel that answers my question I won't do it then. Its just that it depends on the game sometimes there are minor things that the devs don't care about but other times they are outspoken about it.
Just as an example in POE trading between leagues is not really disallowed anywhere but they dev are pretty clear that that is a banable offence
@bold kernel @shadow willow not bannable, just frowned upon by community iirc, anyway they removed the ability to drop secure containers so its no longer possible
Fair enough if you can't drop it then I guess it is a moot point xD and I guess the dev's made their position clear by not letting you drop it.
Thanks for the info @half jackal @bold kernel
No problem man hope you and your friend enjoy the game
likewise 🙂
abusing the system typically isn't a bam
using 3rd party software to abuse the system is def a ban
Way to hit 10 world
could someone give me a good customs map to learn off of?
If I wasn't dipping for the night due to work I would be grinding out since I am already at six. And experience is better then nothing, but yea that
World was quick
the wiki has good ones
ty
Is the Peacekeeper MP5 trade currently worth it?
I cant see market prices. Not lvl 10 smh.
What's the trade? 8 knives?
Ok ty.
hey i just got a phased array element on a pmc run and i was wondering how much its worth since i cant look at the flee market yet
keep it, it was worth 140k+ last wipe
oh ok thanks im kinda new 👍
last thing before i go do you know a map or a strat to level up the fastest
ya thanks that would really boost my gameplay. Thanks!
is the RB-MP21 key worth a lot?
RB's are Reserve keys, most are really good.
RB-PP best key.
are most of the quest items to keep the same this patch? also base upgrade materials needed mostly the same?
Mostly the same, yep
doing carries on any map
If you find a red rebel ice pick and equip it in your knife slot and die can other players loot it from you?
As pmc
Is military base checkpoint key selling higher than the therapist 184k on the flea market?
I found one in raid
Therapist is buying that key for 184k?
Yea
That's how much it averaged on flea market last wipe.
Yea would be way cheaper otherwise
Sell to therapist
Marked Key sells to Therapist for 25k
yeah
How about does using meds or food/drinks out of raid level your skills or is it in raid only?
would anyone be willing to help me with organizing my stash (ie, what to sell and to keep)
can any1 check how much the flir is worth on the flea i am not lvl 10 yet
probably 100k
@weary fern in raid
I think healing works out of raid too, but food is in raid only.
meds outside of raid gives xp but not eatingh
Doing carry runs on any map, EU server.
I am new to the game and looking for someone to help me learn, been playing for like 4 days
Anyone looking to Sherpa US
Any US sherpas?
I've been playing for a lil while, just need a few tips to flesh out my knowledge base.
Where would I get 7.62x51 ammo early game? I see it says Jaegar LL2 to sell the basic rounds, but I'm not there yet lol
Nevermind, I see that Jaegar lvl 1 also sells what appears to be a shitty kind of 7.62
Hello, I have the Eod edition and people say I should have a gift when I logg on the webpage. But I cant find it where it should be. Anyone know why?
does the task eliminations count if i kill scavs as a scavs or only as pmc?
ah, visualize
@spare heath only as a pmc
Is the throwing grenades for strength thing still a thing?
Yes
Should i keep or sell a 108 key?
do u go on the map @spare heath
guys I don't realy understand all these like flash drives and hard drives and keys and stuff
are they just barter items?
yes
ok cool
apart from keys
cool,i think im pretty good for a new palyer but all these controls are very overwhelming
if you wanna see what a key does you can look it up on the wiki and see what loot it has
im really excited to get good though
sounds good, have fun out there
i've just been playing customs, I die every PMC raid but win every scav raid lol
i wonder if they're easier or something
when you scav in you go later in the raid so the PMC's have already had the time to pvp, loot and leave
so you wont run into as many PMCs when scaving in
you can see how long u got left by double clicking o unless u changed the bind
ULPT: NOBODY has IR shit right now. Night raids are safer than ever.
@gloomy heart i dont think ill use the key rn
@spare heath if u are going to use it in the future or if it used for a future quest keep it if not sell it
okay sure thing
hey with the beginners assistance call can i just join it and chat with people or nah ?
@delicate ruin also you could DM me, I have 950hrs on this game.
i just had a full fledged heart attack
does anyone have a customs office key?
is it correct that you cant put a backpack in a packpach in a packpack is they are not the same backpack
@raven gazelle i think i do have one but loading into a game rn
ok cool
Is Shoreline West wing room 207 key any good?
@raven gazelle wasnt a office key sry
all good
As beginner, shld i just join games bare minimum, loot what I can and extract as i learn?
ya
Learning how to run through with your scav on factory is useful
Then use the weapons on your pmc
Or dont go Factory and do something fun 😛
if i craft an item with not found in raid does it turn into found in raid
Yup, all crafted items are found in raid
^
Crafting doesnt matter what you use. End result is always 'in raid'
yo
i just bought the game and im in RN
I died on my first run
my characters entier body is damaged how do i heal them im in the main menu

Have you guys had bad servers on interchange too?
all the servers aere bad for the coming week
also since when do scavs spawn with 7.62 bp
i once spawned as a scav with 120 m61 rounds
vepr hunter?
m700
also spawning with 20 rounder of mm80 in an sa 58 is broken
I still dont know this game too well someone wanna run some customs?
is it worth to heal your pmc with the heal menu
like the menu after you die in a raid
yes, but you also dont get points toward the health skill if you do it, so it's up to you, really
ok
I'm using the menu until I have a medcase full of meds.... Then I can start burning them for points/space
Lfg new havent played in months, and want to learn what to keep and sell, and where to loots on maps!
There are lfg channels below aswell as a sherpa hub.
I'll also be streaming on the sherpahub twitch.
ok guys wtf do i keep
all of it
shit
lol
Is anyone else having issues with offline mode?
Hey people, now that wipe has come I'm looking for people that would like to join a a once active discord group of friendly players of all skill levels. Message me and I can send you an invite, Peace.
Yeah 12-13 minutes
a bit more sometimes, 14 mintues in queue and still waiting.
13 minutes, fuck me
does the 10 minute rule still apply to factory extractions?
It should?
Should I trade my Tetriz for a BTC?
yeah
if you have long queues check more servers, this game is fine under 100 ping
the hidening @nocturne bough
does exhaustion kill instantly again?
since i swear i just got insta killed by it
yo can someone help me out with some raids
It takes me <2 min to load into all maps. make sure you disable autoselect server and select all servers with <90ms ping
I was brand new right before wipe happened,,, so my first tarkov experience was tanks running around while i tried to learn the game,,, and as a result I didn't actually learn anything lol. Anyone trying to jump in with a basically brand new guy and go from there?
@hollow sequoia i can help you out im pretty new but im decent at the game
@remote quiver Sounds good to me.
anyone want to play duo?
@celest compass Was your thorax and head above 0 hp? Because either of them dropping to 0 was the death condition with starvation and dehydration
does anyone have access to the flea market and are willing to look up a item cost for me
yeah I checked there, hasnt updated in 24 days
I extracted but I just see a black screen and still hear in game sounds?
whats better bear or usec?
do you like russian or english voicelines?
Are there any updated shoreline key spawn maps
LF begginer group who wants to play? EU english speaking preferably
I did extract and I'm now in black screen. Should I Alt-F4 or wait?
just me thats getting 7 minute wait times on customs
@bold kernel same, i can hear running next to me but i'm in a black screen
doing this rn, let's see
I keep getting "server connection lost"
I alt f4'd as well and kept getting server connection lost until the main menu came up and I had my stuff with me
same, server connection lost
i was on a scav tho, i dont think i'll get to keep my items
I was scav too rofl
Servers are semi oof'd so these bugs happen
I had 2 quest items man 😦
i had a labs keycard, 40k rubles and a chocolate bar :v
Yeah GG reconnect is gone and I didn't get my items
Oh yeah you can't transfer the items if you alt f4
i alt f4'd and i just keep getting the reconnect thing
Since you're not gonna get the after raid screen
I think there is no way to get items when you playing scav if you're in black screen
wait, my next run has the exactly same scav
?
i might have the same items as before, if so i will still have the 40k since i spawned with it
Looks like a lot of people are experiencing the black screen after raid
So it's the servers
Long queues and and server connection lost after extracting
yeah, first couple of days after the wipe will look like that i guess
Damn aimbotter rashala
Sniped me in another dorm the moment I got anywhere near a window 😄
If your having bad matching time. Good time to read up on the wiki and build some strategies. Join our twitch channels and catch some early game strats.
Bruh what do you do to not have a 0% survival chance?
For any reason i just die, no matter what
It can be a camper
A broken aim scav
A dude with p90
reshala jumpscaring me
dieing while extracting at smuggler's boat
knowledge. awareness of surroundings. picking objectives and having an escape plan...
im back from my bbq
Scavs have been one tapping my face a lot recently
if I wanted to say 'fuck quests' and just play how I want, would I still be able to level up traders to max somewhat easily?
(I'd still do the jaeger quest to unlock him)
Onea suka
@strong jolt nope, you need to do their quests
You can get shit cheaper from traders now, and you need the rep points, yeah
and I won't get a lot of rep points from just selling them shit?
nope, you can only get rep points from doing quests
weapon boxes my guy, can spawn them
Can a sherpa dm me when there is one avalible
Me and my friend need help with quests and learning the game
where is the best place to find fuel for the generator?
i know interchange is good, just which store is the best
shelves and rear of the store in Oli and near all the fuel containers on milbase can spawn them
does anyone have a customs office key?
@muted juniper yes, reserve is a good place to look
hey i just bought tarkov and im kinda stuck on what to do if i could have someone help me out and maybe play a few games

Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
So I have some fuel, can I just put 1 dose of fuel in my generator to craft a salewa or do I have to empty the whole thing?
How do you escape?
Like can I just use 1/60 of the fuel in the container?
You just have to start it
You just toss the whole thing in there
And run it, and once you start crafting you can stop the genny and it will keep crafting, but with a longer time
Can I take the fuel out?

Stuck in a spot on interchange, the backway into Olli I fell between some scaffolding and wood
Anybody know a trick to get out of it or am I boned?
Help
RIP
Not really a specifically beginner question, but my game (and computer) both just crashed simultaneously pretty hard, and now the launcher is telling me the game isnt installed. I just found this, which seems to indicate otherwise, but i cant physically find the game on my HDD or SSDs. Is there ANY way for me to find the game or do I have to reinstall it.
I'm really skeeved out that reinstalling the game will reset my progress because the launcher made me login again.
Your progress is tied to your account
The account is on their servers not on your computer, so dont worry you wont lose progress :)
As for finding the game, I'd say the best bet is to use a tool like windirstat to see what takes up space on ur drive and maybe you'll find ur tarkov installation
Started trying some reserve but couldn't figure out how to extract. I used the hermitic door switch, which sounded the alarm but it wouldn't let me extract. Tried this 3 times, then the raid timed out. Is there something else you have to do?
My game takes forever to exit matches etc, Tarkov is installed in my SSD, why this happens and how to fix it?
what do u run it on
Anyone have customs office key? dm me plz
what are the odds
what do u run it on
@velvet bane GeForce 1060 6gb, 16gb RAM, CPU i5 9400f, 240gb SSD SATA
is it worth it to use money to heal yourself
@stone yarrow could be wrong because I haven't run the numbers in a while, but what therapist charges you vs what it costs to heal with a salewa kit, you get a tremendous discount.
My game takes forever to exit matches etc, Tarkov is installed in my SSD, why this happens and how to fix it?
@brazen owl Not gonna lie, right now the servers are kind of shit again. I don't know if you were here back in November/December but there was a recurring meme that got posted pretty regularly with "Tarkov hours of operation" and it gave the game 24 hours a day every day M-F and then TOTALLY closed on Saturday and Sunday. For most of January and mid February, myself and most other people couldn't play on the weekends for at least 4 hours each day, and this was before coronavirus and the stay at home orders. It feels like the servers are under tremendous strain right now....cant particularly say why because it felt like they fixed this back in March.
based off your specs its not your PC, unless you have one of the worst SSDs on the market.
Regardless, my PC is a good deal better than yours and it still takes wayyyyyyyyyyyy too long to queue and get in raids.
another thing ive noticed too, regardless of if you go scav or PMC, if you go with more than 2 right now the spawns are almost totally random. Eg, I spawn at Emercon checkpoint (one of the Interchange exfils) and my boy spawns in at Idea (which is the entire length of the map apart.)
But my issue is not waiting to get in matches, its after finishing one or clicking "back" while on matching, it takes forever to load menu again
Overall,right now in my experience the game is really funky in most aspects. If you read what I just posted, the game totally crashed on me and now its saying its not installed even.
As for finding the game, I'd say the best bet is to use a tool like windirstat to see what takes up space on ur drive and maybe you'll find ur tarkov installation
@twin apex Cant find it in file explorer, im probably boned, buy why is the game showing up here
105??????
yeah, it really doesnt sound right, thats why im here.
does anyone need any help?
since the wipe this is a good time to get set for learning the game since all vets are on your gear level
yeah but you gotta hustle on that cuz players who are way too smart to be in here are farming raiders on Reserve. probably by Monday we'll have a new meta and the top class will exist again.
How do I fix this rig bug? My rig gets bugged to the point where I can't move items in/out of it
and im aboutta start doing that myself and I suck at this game.
is it flashing as if you were examining it?
I tried that
huh
restarting now
So my friend got me tarkov as a gift, and I've been enjoying it as much as I can, but I feel like it's a bit too much for me. Whenever I spawn, I basically walk for a minute before getting shot in the back of the head, and it's just getting kind of discouraging at this point. Any ideas on what could make the experience a bit more fun (or at least manageable)?
I can teach ya if you want

It happens for everyone in the beginning, it just take patience and experience
or just watch some gameplay or tutorials so you get an idea of what to do
@tawny grotto word okay. I was struggling pretty bad with this game for 6 months, and then I figured out a bunch of stuff and now im a million times better than before.
Number 1 thing im gonna tell you. In most FPS games there is a best gun that dominates the meta. Cuz of the bullets system, its not like that with this game. All the guns are basically equal in lethality with the right bullets. I used to think that you buy the best armor you can afford and skimp out on bullets. Its actually the opposite.
i have some questions about hideout
was using PS rounds for close to 5 months,and that was well after the wipe. Right now you can get away with PS ammo cuz hardly anyone has good armor.
ok
Shoot off your question
after say like Tuesday of next week, youre gonna want ammo that penetrates up to class 3. There's already people at level 18, most of them are wearing good armor.
7.62 x 59
guessing 762
762 ps isnt that bad but 545 ps is trash
Really doesnt matter the caliber, PS ammo has almost zero penetration. Like I said before, they work for today. I doubt they work after tuesday.
545 PS ain't bad THIS early
both electric motors and graphics cards are very valuable
Electric motors are used for quite a few hideout upgrades. Graphic cards are for bitcoin farm
@craggy bough What level are you at right now?
so just sell them?
Electric motors are like 20-40k to Therapist
i think motors are used for some hideout stuff
3
but graphics cards are used for some later quests and later hideout upgrades
you need 9 motors in total for hideout
tbh if i were you id sell all of them
7.62 PS has no pen
lol
huh, I had an answer before but now im conflicted. I wouldve said sell both of them to therapist right now, but doing the quests helps you level up faster.
Sure, but theres nothing to buy with money that's actually decent until your level 10 now.
the money is more important at this stage in the wipe
exactly
7.62x39 PS and a 20k SKS. Ez.
but i guess it depends how much money you already have
How do you figure? You get to level 10 and then suddenly,playing the game becomes viable.
Getting to level 10 should be everyone's goal right now above all else!
why
Flea market
i'm just gonna try to update my hideout
fair
get salawas farming i guess
Getting a working headset + not having shit internet is my goal right now, otherwise I'd be playing the fuck out of this game
I already got my Salewa quest done
but i think lvl 2 traders is more important since flea market got nerfed
i need 4 more salewas
and 1 more mp133
nerfed? whatta you mean
FIR changes.
you can only sell found in raid items
where you guys trying to farm the salewas?
the hideout lmao
med stores on interchange
i was doing customs but now im going to try reserve
Who has skier level 2?
but i cant find any fuel so rip
Go to Reserve for fuel, fuel is EVERYWHERE there.
I actually hadn't really considered that. Right now im not doing loot runs im tryna do gear runs. But you kinda got a point.
Ill run Interchange with you? I know it like the back of my hand.
Looking for someone with skier level 2
I'd run Reserve with you but, refer to the aforementioned issues.
Why do you need Skier lvl 2?
@half plank FYI restarting fixed the rig bug thing
id be down to run ic or reserve
i know ic a little
ive never played on reserve tho
tbh reserve seems pretty simple
Kinda
It has a fuck ton of loot everywhere, but it has some whacky extractions + Scav boss and raiders
yea the extracts seem weird
Yeah, you pretty much need a RR and paracord for consistent safe extracts.
Other than that, rat runs with big chest rigs to sewer manhole, the train (have fun waiting that long in a hotspot like trainyard), or hitting the bunker switch and tell everyone on the map where you're going.
You either take your armor off, or you wear an armored rig.
does he drop rr/paracord?
ye
He can occasionally spawn with an RR, and you could potentially find one in his box.
ok
It has a fuck ton of loot everywhere, but it has some whacky extractions + Scav boss and raiders
@silver hornet but if you are hurting for gear really badly like most people are, the raiders can make you very solid money and also gear you up until you get fleamarket.
so you made the raiders sound like a bad thing but theyre not. The only reason im tryna play Reserve right now is for the raiders.
I know theres much more loot but its too much of a bitch to get to it.
I wouldn't say I made them sound "bad", but if you're new and unfamiliar with raiders, it could be pretty spooky
Hide in the bunker nearest the traincar, there's a spot you cant be seen. Wait for the train to come in, blitz a raider grab his shit go inside and camp the train. youre out.
Can anyone play rn? im new
but if you're new and unfamiliar with raiders, it could be pretty spooky
@silver hornet Sorry to be an asshole. Reserve is very clearly marketed as an endgame map. Even though I dont have gear, I think I have the knowledge to take them out.
ok then
@silver hornet ????
semi new just want someone to help me get a budget gun that will do good
sks with 762 ps ammo
ok
what kinds of meds and gear should i bring?
im assuming you only have lvl 1 traders?
yup
ok
ok
bandage, splint, painkillers, 2-3 ai-2s
@spring talon I absolutely despise the front sight for the SKS, so heres an additional suggestion for you. You could roll a Hunter or an ADAR, both their front sights are a lot better...and you only have level 1 traders so its really difficult to replace that sight.
ok
eventually youll probably go up to an M4 or 416. If you have mags for the ADAR it uses the same mags as both of them.
you can just remove the rear sight on the sks and its a lot easier to see
you cant buy a hunter or adar from lvl 1 traders
Absolute fact, but you do get them as scav pretty often.
ok
and, this is an asspull but like 1/3rd of the scavs on Interchange have the ADAR.
I got....really weird scav spawn last night. Generally the gear I spawn in is 120k total,last night I got a DECKED out VSS.
@muted juniper gun isnt accurate without the RS
it seems pretty good to me
well you'd be wrong
some guns are, some arent
you need both irons to have the bullet land where you're aiming
the aks and sks seem pretty accurate
its especially apparant on AKs but its still there on any other ugn
no, go actually test this
the AK74u will not hit shit past 20m if you dont have both sights
its aiming up
i tested it with the sks yesterday
my bullet would land right at the top of the front sight post
because your character isnt looking through the sight correctly without both sights
yes i know how sights work
I never really liked the SKS. Maybe im wrong to criticize it but for the money you spend, id rather go up a little bit and get a Hunter or M1A.
like we all agreed an hour ago bullets are a lot more important than guns up to a certain point.
obviously a dude with a TT isn't generally gonna win against an M4, but once you get to actual SMG and rifle caliber MOST of it comes out in the wash.
Hi, I'm new to this game and I've been practing offline mode with ai enabled everything "as online". It's very discouraging currently because I still haven't made it to a simple extraction because every time I get in a scav fight, I have to basically fight until I'm dead, where I've killed 9 before
What am I doing wrong that the scavs constantly mob me?
is right now the wrong time to play tarkov? because i was excited for the wipe and people are just murdering me and my friends.
Are you going in without a weapon?
im going in with a pistol
Shame this game is so trash at times
@granite hornet get to cover, they will forget your location and lean to do headshots on scavs
@tepid rock honestly just a git gud issue
Legit opened up on a dude sprayed him down with a Ak and he turns around and just sprays me with a pistol
Glad a pistol wins over AK in cqc
@bold kernel has to do with aim and ammo
I dont understand, one of the youtube videos said to go in with pistol and minimum gear
I knkow
Consider the possibility of desync?
pistol doesnt beat AK, he just beat you
But we literally were right in front of each other and the fact I lit him up
you missed tho
@tepid rock I do do that, and yes pistol does beat ak
I didn't
or you had shit ammo and he had armor
when you do what he said
Each round hit him
doubt
its just i try to loot the scav i killed
i went into an offline raid to test the sks and my game just froze lol
Paca soaked up every shot
ppl way overestimate their accuracy in this game
and it just chains into like 9 scav kills
Turbo shhh
then stop using shitty AK ammo lol
where im bleeding out at the end
thats on you
I grabbed it from a scav
I dont understand, one of the youtube videos said to go in with pistol and minimum gear
@granite hornet So you don't lose anything in offline mode. You should do offline raids with the same gear you plan to do real raids with.
Turbo I know I hit him and I am venting because I was doing just fine till pistol boy somehow beat me
@solemn pike i plan to do raids with pistol
i did exactly the loadout i planned to go in with
Probably should have used my mosin you are right, but again the fact rate of fire wise
but the problem is the scavs
a pistol isnt gonna get you anywhere if you plan to kill anything
wont stop coming
Literally, but it's cool
how many do i have to kill then?
alright. Im gonna stop you right here. We are missing a ton of information. What map is it for one?
or legmeta
Turbo I'm venting and you want to act like you are the best guy at this game
customs
I haven't even seen you before so I'm sure you are new
im just saying its a fakevent
I know how the game goes, but I will vent
turbo let him vent
Why are you looting scavs in offline mode?
@bold kernel
And if you want to play the cool kid that's fine just know I will make fun of you
yeah im new
you dont keep your shit.
Yea I will call you new
