Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
Ah, thank you, I just have to submit it online right?
I dunno
both
some people help here
some don't 😄
but you can request a sherpa at their discord however when you get one is up to them 😄
Im always down to show anyone Interchange.
I know that map like the back of my hand.
weren't you the guy that got trapped in the death corridor (wherever that is) today 😄
thanks to a sparkly young lad named
syes
@hidden meteor
the death corridor is the area between Kiba and Adick
Kiba isn't what it used to be. But you can basically bank on Killa being there 80% of the time, and when he's not, someone is camping the Kiba door from the second floor.
I thought i had killa on really low health given it was the end of the raid basically and so, I took the bait into the death corridor. It did not pan out.
@fiery rover Shhhhhhhh At least my mate survived
He said he felt left out, since he was the only one screaming in russian in that 2v2 encounter
I should have NOT peaked that angle
i never get scav players that shoot other scav players that are obviously not looted up
knew it would get me head shotted
bored is the only real answer.
I never get people that shoots hatchlings/pistoling when they're running full gear
dumb is the answer tbh
i had an early wipe encounter with another scav player as a scav and we just chilled out together
even found a friendly hatchling ones as a player sadly he died to scavs because he rushed in
Shame, only ever met one scav that was willing to return the wiggle
met on factory, held office for a bit before window extract
I had a guy who went in as a pistol ling on Interchange obviously wearing the glowing pumpkin helmet
He shot at the scavs at power station but he ran out of ammo
I saved his life and we toured Interchange pretty leisurely
I think it was a raider just now I met infront of the helicopter on Reserve. He had an mp5k. I put 8 shotgun shells directly into his head and he didnt die. Sf shells.
so time for bed my fractures won't heal
Incase it's not widely known Raiders dont shoot player scavs on sight.
I thought they still aggro if you go too close?
Can't find any info on what distance is considered "safe" tho
I've never seen an AI scav as kitted up as the guy I just shot.
And I aimed at him for a minute.
Atleast.
Fair to think hacks there?
cant find the guy
most likely the shells were hitting lower than you thought they were, happened to my friend yesterday with the same shells
did he have a helmet?
from hollowpoint slugs, for sure
Guys name was Maga.
I dont know if it was a raider or a PMC
but I only see one PMC named Maga who's level 1.
Sounds like raider name
its cool that you scrolled up to read the story. I guess SF shells perform differently. Even still at that range, 9 of them in the dome feels kinda questionable to me
but i guess it makes sense.
atleast in game.
thank you.
I feel like you'd die from the gas pressure more than anything else at that distance.
Raider/boss hp lets them do some bs stuff
I was reading yesterday about a dude who claimed to get shot in the nose with a .50 cal round from an M2 machine gun.
Yeah, that sounds like a Scav boss.
and the person debunking it mathematically proved it couldnt be done.
triangle of death. Thats why you cant pluck your nose hairs.
Regardless, it's still a .50 Cal.
The only person I've heard of who's survived a hit from a .50 Cal was Colonel Charles Beckwith, the guy who founded Delta Force
given how much damage a shotgun shell can do to a face
I dont even want to imagine
how much damage a .50 cal round to the face would do.
Colonel Beckwith took a .50 cal in the abdomen, don't know if it was .50 BMG or 12.7 Russian
I mean, a lot of times military stories exaggerate. Do you think his story is reliable?
Scav Boss/Scav Boss Guards (especially Gluhar and the gang) HP is super fucked
I'd believe it.
"Colonel beckwith takes .50 cal" on google shows multiple pages saying that he got hit by a .50 cal in a helicopter in 1966.
I mean, wouldn't the armor on the helicopter tank some of the shot?
Doubt it.
Especially from a round like 12.7x99 and 12.7x108
The Chinese/Soviets supplied the Vietnamese with them
On Quora, too
yeah, just sell
how about weapon parts
You can trade chainlets for Tac-Tecs, but I'd just sell.
Weapon parts are barter items
they are like, level 4 trade ins tho lol
Level 3 for most of them, but yeah
will 9 rounds of buckshot point blank in the head kill Killa?
legs, go for the legs
So, For trade in items, can you only do it once? that kinda sucks ass
Only do it once?
No, they restock.
^
it takes a couple hours though.
so like, the Mp5 for knives
yeah
Its kinda weird cuz the Mp5 isn't a strong gun in the meta now that most people have good armor
lemme see if i can buy it.
i know, But look at the message
but
it never restocks
Like last wipe, i played for months, never restocked
i think the pistol from this guy is the exact same way
for grey knives
"You've purchased this item in quantities of 0 pcs. (Max: 1) limited for you in one restock."
Again, never restocks lol.
But... it very clearly is restocked.
If it wasn't restocked you wouldn't even be able to see the barter screen.
i will gather 8 again and post back i suppose
I just did the pistol trade because i have the knifes. It says I can do it again,just need more knives.
the mp5 thing is weird and I dont understand it,honestly.
anything worth trading? everything seems pretty meh unfortunately
so, back on topic. Saiga with the https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/MaxRounds_Powermag_20-round_12/76_magazine_for_SOK-12_and_compatible_weapons loaded with 20 AP rounds.
AP-20?
You'd need to magdump his chest and make sure every shot hits his chest.
His facemask? Nope, good luck.
His helmet? Probably.
Magdump his legs? yep.
AP shells are the best penetrative shotgun ammo.
if I wanted to take him out with a shotgun what else would I use?
Buckshot to the legs.
Well, maybe flechette would work.
maybe.
Legs, use 8.5 Magnum
For armor, try Flechettes.
whole conversation is stupid and irrelevant because I dont have flea market or a saiga.
but idk
I saw people last wipe using shotguns on Interchange.
and im really curious about how good the p90 can be here, people said since its a short range map you dont need such high penetration.
I don't know about the P90 on Interchange
but now my experience with the SKS and PS ammo makes me feel like thats wrong.
But the P90 as a whole is "Meh".
they said the P90's rate of fire,its like ~150rpm faster than the M4
so it makes up for it with that.
I dont know. I dont understand this game. I want to.
how much do vases go for?
hold up so if you get something in raid and put it in your container then die, you cant sell i
I need help im in a raid
on flea?no you cant. not anymore.
just dealers.
although, the selling price on a lot of items has been improved, at least towards Therapist.
@upper hemlock around 45-50k to therapist
anyone know the DR timer for skill gains in one raid? i heard its 5 mins anyone can confirm?
That's the number I've seen tossed around a lot
worth keeping an empty blue fuel container?
Is it FIR?
nope
Turn into mag case
ok didnt know i could do it with an empty one. will do thnx
Can someone kindly explain this to me? I went offline, and this is what happened, pretty self-explanatory.
Loadout to follow.
So... I missed more than half the shots, sure... But, 6 rounds of LPS Ghz isn't enough to put down the two Scavs?
heres the thing. I understand your frustration, but the same shit happened to me earlier. Scavs are starting to wear class 4 and class 5 armor.
Lps GhZ ISNT good enough.
Scavs rarely wear class 5
^ What I assumed
Class 4, they can have them sometimes
So either they had armor
Or you didn't hit the thorax.
I see. Maybe offline RNG situation? I never got the second kill, but I had bosses off, so it was just normal scavs
(Assumedly)
Well it was all at least thorax, unless I swayed and hit arms.
So, I shot a scav 9 times today in the chest with an SKS with PS rounds.
he did not die.
I was heartbroken and thought, oh it has to be killa
as it turns out, it wasnt Killa.
nah you'd know if it was Killa
PS rounds suck,even now.
Class 5 will eat up PS like nothing
If it was Killa I wouldn't have gotten 9 shots on him without him returning fire. If it was Killa, he had to've had the TT and not the RPK.
which can happen but ive never seen it happen.
He can have the TT but he won't use it.
The issue being... is that LPS Ghz is the round I have the most of due to scavving and luck. Turning out that this round is useless unless toting enough for 5 reloads between 2-3 scavs is kind of a downer.
If you wanna use shit ammo, which I have been, you need to get headshots.
im sorry dude thats just how it is.
last wipe when the M1911A1 came out, myself being a future US Navy sailor I playtested it extensively. I found that it took 4-5 headshots to down most scavs. Thats when I dumped it.
LPS has the potential to one-tap the thorax to class 4.
So you probably missed the thorax.
.45 ACP will always be garbage outside of maybe SMGs or leg meta.
@silver hornet what he just said is true, but also. If you want good ammo, do scav runs on Reserve.
It doesn't help that there's no real understanding of the zeroing system between higher velocity rounds unless you go science it up offline before every raid and memorize the numbers and ranges, as it's vastly unintuitive, so I could use "Better" rounds in some guns, but due to any velocity change, they could be way off mark.
I took LPS because I know that the Mosin is at least zeroed in for that round specifically, as it's the standard.
However I was unaware it's got the stopping power of a high-speed marshmallow.
Don't use the zeroing system, it's garbage.
That is a problem, though.
It does.
LPS gzh is fine for budget + early wipe, but it will struggle from class 4 & up
I was unaware I was required to get headshots with rounds that mince me in a single thorax shot. Boy those scavs seem to get richer and richer, shame they never carry any of that golden armor that can stop multiple sniper rounds online tho... Smh
what are you talking about?
I'll go back and focus aim. Thanks for the tips fellas.
I just told you about a scav that took 9 bullets in the chest.
Yes, but never have I witnessed them wearing armor that would support that theory. I have better luck with a pistol. That should not be the case.
hey i am unsure how the sherpa system works on this discord. do you specifically request one, or join a beginners assistance channel, or just wait in the waiting room?
Unless they were boss spawns, anyway. Thats an outlier.
Just hit the head 4head
wait, how are you good enough to use the mosin in combat but not good enough to consistently get headshots with it?
@crystal rune
you seem like a cool dude
I have so many questions for you right now.
What map do you main? firstly.
who do i give the supply plan to? skier or therapist?
@solemn pike I've been using the Mosin. Shit slaps.
@inner locust
Therapist will give .09 trader rep plus 7,700 XP + 70,000 roubles, while Skier will give you 180,00 cash, .03 rep, and 4,400 XP. Giving it to Skier will reduce Therapist's trader rep by .1, giving it to Therapist will reduce Skier's trader rep by .3.
Whichever is more important to you.
@silver hornet yesterday I was asking you about how your wipe was going and you said you couldnt play.
Nah, I'm offline. This would be my first week of Tarkov. I don't get kills unless they're in the open or the scav/pmc is unaware. This would be Day7 of my experience in Takrov. However many days it's been since wipe. Needing the experience in skav spanws, landing shots, and overall map knowledge, so going offline to check all these boxes.
It's really just that the iron sight on the mosin is tiny and unwieldy, but it's such a strong gun I figured I'd go offline and test my luck on some chest shots. That turned out poorly, so I turned out here. I'll try to focus more on where my shots are landing.
moreover
@crystal rune if you want i can teach you Interchange. Im learning Reserve right now, I know Factory some, I iknow Customs some.
I'd appreciate it.
Guess it really is about shot placement... Single shot, no issue. The iron sight is just so far down the gun, lining it up takes some real effort at range.
.366 TKM is about the worst bullet in the game.
by a lot.
dont ever use it.
If this game had a .22 hunting rifle, it'd be worse than that.
That helmet is also absolute garbage, but i dont need to tell you that.
Albiet armor lv2, but still. (That was a scav body)
one time, right after the new .366 hunting rifle came out, I brought it into a raid. I counted 12 headshots on a scav wearing a Ratnik helmet and he didn't die.
Yo does anyone know what i should do with a item called keycard sell it or not?
Is it the labs access card or is it a colored card?
@solemn pike it is the blue labs
FIR?
Side note: Is this the right iron sight for the mosin? Seems a bit... strange..
You're missing the front ironsight.
You can go into labs with it or sell it on flea for about 150k.
No damn wonder. Lmao
its up to you.
No, that's the access card. @fickle vector is it FIR + the blue labs keycard?
@solemn pike i dont have flea yet so i was about to sell it to a npc
what does therapist offer for it?
I'm out here like "Where's the peg that I should be lining up?"
That makes the shot I made earlier that much more of a feat... Jeeze.
terra groups acced card
Nidalee, is it the Labs Blue Card?
therapists offers have been getting significantly better.
therapist 75k
Look up a guide and go into labs.
is labs hard ?
Everyone has a different opinion on that.
I sometimes have difficulties getting shots to land when the target is far, and running. Should I lead my shots?
You cant bring insured shit into it. Thats one thing I can definitively state.
Yeah why I said everyone has a different opinion. I dont have a card for it right this second.
#LFG @fickle vector
should i sell an antique teapot or keep it for something later there are quests where people need certain stuff
ok
There's a guy in here who does labs solely to go fight the raiders there. You can get some pretty great loot doing that.
right now, im doing Reserve for the same thing,basically.
idk i just wanna go in there and grab loot xD
most people seem to agree that labs is fairly difficult, but like I said everyone has a different opinion.
I always considered Reserve and Labs to be the endgame maps.
but thats not a popular opinion in this chan.
wait can i bring my alpha thing into there?
wheres the best place to go get salewa?
yeah.
and get it back out?
@shy kettle Hideout.
what you might do is go in with the best gun and ammo youve got, but shittier armor.
that way if you die you dont lose everything.
@silver hornet i would need to get a gen and gas and i dont have any parts to build it
do you have the key for Emercom in Interchange?
Still the best place to get em.
you can get some pretty decent stuff from Mantis, if youre willing to run the risk.
also is a grizzly first aid kid worth selling or not (to therapist)
Most people keep a grizzly in the stash to heal after raids.
but theyve changed that system up and set it up so therapist heals you directly now for a price.
I think thats generally cheaper.
I wouldn't
ive used it some times but grizzly sells for 16k and theraphist takes 10k when i die so i would use the kit
Grizzly's give you healing XP
Therapist is 10k for each time, Grizzlys can heal you for 6 raids.
thats a good point I didn't even think of tbh. Since i dont have flea or really medical shit at all, ive been healing with the A1-2 kits and that gets mad expensive.
I really gotta do some hatchling runs to Mantis and stock up
my medical cupboard p barren.
this dude showed me the tank room? on Reserve with the 2 medical stashes. omg. that was so cool. 2 CMS kits which id not had all wipe and 5 (!) CAR kits.
Hatchling runs aren't worth, bring a pistol at least
where do i find salewa the most?
How do you get better at aiming players?
how can i trigger a tremor for my quest
@honest hamlet It's triggered by pain
so if i dehydrate myself will it give me tremor
I don't think so, you need to get shot, a high jump might work as well
break a leg
😄 👍
is there a good guide for early weapon loadouts? not having a lot of success with just aks off the ground
@honest hamlet Get a fracture, wait a second, boom, tremor. There's also certain stims that will give you a tremor, like Zagustins.
is there any way to put a monstrum on op-sks
@inland shell by aks you mean SKS?
like ak74
The 5.45 ak is one of the better guns overall. Unfortunately until you get flea you dont get access to a lot of ammo
What rounds are you using?
yeah.
T is probably the best bullet you can easily access, unfortunately.
once you hit level 10 you get the flea market and you can buy the bullets the community thinks are best.
another thing too, once you finish the first quest for prapor,debut, he sells an AKS74U loaded with BT rounds
or BS rounds
which are significantly better than T
that sounds handy, i can go finish that
thanks for the help
another option youll have of course is the SKS, but the SKS is going to have the same issue youre having now with the 74U, you don't get armor penetrating bullets at level 1 trader.
if you scroll way up, like about 11 hours ago I shot a scav 9 times in the chest with the SKS with PS rounds and he didnt die.
compounding the issue with the SKS is its semi auto only.
honestly more of a fan with semi auto in tarkov i've never had a good gun that i could recoil control with
you can build lazer guns in this game. Dont know what the value is off the top of my head, but im willing to bet the 74 youre talking about has a base recoil value of over 80.
you can build an M4 with 32 vertical recoil.
It makes an enormous difference.
i played a lot like two or 3 wipes ago but i never built guns like that i'd always farm scavs on labs or just snipe and then i run into people who full auto me and am amazed might try to get into it this wipe
I guess im kinda playing devils advocate cuz I dont usually use the full auto capability but I always want to have it just in case I run into like Killa
or someone with stupid armor.
anyway, I think the ADAR is significantly better than the SKS.
thats also only semi right?
I just got a weapons case and a food case out of a raid and i cant sell it they are both empty
On the Flea Market
yeah its a new change.
you cant flea market things you put in your alpha.
wait what? those are way too big for the safeboxes.
is the secure container gamma a one time use item?
No
how do you mean? If you accidentally drop it, its lost forever.
i know some people who have dropped it.
Is that recent? I had someone who swore he sold it
what is the key for this door on interchange?
Its the Emercom medical station key.
Ragman will buy my gamma for 1440 roubles. If youre ever that desperate, DM me,ill buy you some gear lmao.
one sec ill take a screenshot just inegame
another question, how do i figure how what attachments can go on what gun? for example this https://gyazo.com/81e9b49d04f94d5cc71c841ffb360016
or is it just knowledge
there is a wiki, its kinda confusing.
those rings are for sniper scopes for the most part.
Linked search
She doesnt have flea.
Some parts go on other parts and not guns
thats the point.
Ah
once i get flea does linked search show me what it could go on/what could go on it?
Move mouse over the arrow by “compatible with available”
yeah,for the most part, so long as youve examined the parts.
I think what youre trying to ask in a roundabout way is what can I put on my 74U with level 1 traders.
and the answer is sadly not a whole lot.
@solemn pike
wont let me place offer says cant when it isnt found in raid
but obviously i did find these in raid
The flea market not working right is definitely kind of common, last wipe it was a shitshow on the best of days. Honestly, I think your best bet is to report the bug through the launcher, but BSG wont ever get back to you unless enough people have the same issue.
where can i find salewas at?
Get lvl 1 med station and make them, fastest way
Emercom medical station, there's a medical store near techlight, Mantis has good spawns but you gotta hurry.
Go to oli, tons of gas
but i need bulbs and whatever else
No no, oli in interchange is best for gas
okay can you send me a youtube video?
Ill take you.
if you want.
but id prefer not Olli, back corner warehouses are way better with 1/10th the risk.
1/100th even.
@lapis mauve since he mentioned it I just started making salewas. all you need is about 150k roubles if you haven't unlocked even the basic buildings in the hideout. Thank you for that cuz i had been hurting for medical shit for days.
And if people don’t know, turn generator on, start crafting, turn generator off
okay thank you
how many do you need anyhow?
we could take a route,fairly safe, we might get a couple.
whats your safebox?
Hey anyone’s down to play
anybody want to play? im trying to level up
can we change our nick name on this server?
Is anyone else having a problem with the mission checking for prapor
called "Checking"?
no i finished it a while ago
every time i pick up the watch i hear the quest complete noise but i never see it in my inv
It wont let me turn it in at all.
you have to survive raid and then turn it in
Ive survived the raid twice and itacts like i didnt pick it up
You picked up the watch, survived the raid, and it doesn't let you turn it in?
after i pick up the watch, i hear the noise, i check my inventory and its not there
and after i leave its still not therre
you have to grab it again every time you die it wont go in your inventory
its in your task inventory
You just turn in the quest after you extract with it
You don't turn in the item itself
it wont let me turn in the quest
^
guys I think they implemented a ping limiter with new patch or something like I can't play with my friends anymore we are from all over the world so one or two of us gets disconnected from the raid everytime.... any solution or comment?
Yes, they updated it. I think max is 180 ping now or something.
also @tropic nova you probably got it once n extracted then you went back in customs again thinking you didnt get it in your inventory n died and lost the first raid one
can't do much about it unless you have a way of lowering the ping
@silver hornet tnx
@true furnace ill try again then, thx
this is what they are talking about
no, this is what they were talking about
Could someone help with a crashing problem?
i just died from fatigue..?
is there a cheap way to get energy up without the flea market ?
just pick up food it spawns all over
Buy it from therapist
the recoil on that and how little you would be able to see..Ooooof
guys i cant play with my firend anymore with this patch we both connect to eu and i have 100-120 and he has 160-180 but he gets disconnected regularly.. please revert whatever this is
Fill the mag? idk
Wouldnt the weight go up? I dont think that's the problem.
lol 800 hours and im bam boozled, lol
Haha lol, just try shit. YOu'll figure it out somehow
Im not the best at gun building.
getting better, but for this I follow the guides, and I honestly checked everything it meets it...wonder if I need to relog
Extremely odd. I followed guides for G1 and it worked
Surprised this doesn't bc this one is even more simplistic it looks like lol
I am horrible at gun building as well. Even on prewipe I couldn't build a gun for my life lol
Reload didnt get it....what the heck
you need a muzzle device, stock one works @maiden perch
even though the recoil matches what he wants . . .
Anyone wanna run duos with me? I'm not that bad anymore but could use some help/another set of eyes
lvl 3
@maiden perch dont fill the mag - think you might have a base accuracy of higher than 600 in total, even if just a slight bit. Make sure to aim lower than 600.
@gentle stratus that 10 round mag and no stock are disgusting. Shame on you.
this is truly the work of a God that doesn't love us.
free attachments for whoever kills him though 😆
50 min
is T Ammo worth using over PS? 5.45x39
hmmm
Less pen more flesh but tracer, up to you
if you do what I do and play mostly night raids cuz less PMCS, tracer rounds can be useful.
And on scav flesh would do you better than pen tbh
the rule I go by is always gear up for the most likely threat.
I've been playing for a while this wipe, reached about level 13 and while I started out playing solo I've been duo/trioing but I realize that when a teammate goes down and I'm alone I start to panic really bad even if I know the map. Especially if I'm getting shot and I can't pinpoint them. My question is, what would be the best way to gain confidence? I want to get better so when I duo I'm able to carry my weight if one of us goes down
theres a video im gonna DM you about surviving an ambush situation which sounds a lot like what you described.
Its kinda long, but its by an ex spec ops dude.
That sounds good, I'll take a listen. I love this game and I want to be able to play it and feel confident and calm
I dont know if this is specifically applicable. But are you saying you wanna continue on in the raid after your friend dies? or youre tryna book it to exfil
I know the nerves situation. Players are patient. This happened to me 3 times today and im still mad. got into a gunfight, hit my enemy pretty bad, he dings me some too. I know we are both on the brink of death, I decide to reload. If he pushes me before I can chamber the round for the new mag, I die 99.99999% of the time, and honestly I prolly need about 2 seconds after chambering the next mag to feel confident.
You can drop back in cover, but don't do anything obvious until youre 100% the threat is neutralized.
I know that sounds like some rookie shit, and it is, but ive been trying to PVP a lot more.
Yeah I do want to continue, when he goes down my first thought is "where is my nearest extract"
I think thats the right mindset, because now the mission parameters have changed.
It is, and tarkov is about survival, but I feel like if I run from every bad situation then I won't be able to calm those nerves down
Its a thousand times easier to kill 1 guy with 2. There are situations where youll only do something because you know despite the risk you have someone watching your flank.
and in a group of 3 you should feel invincible.
Yeah, I think tomorrow I'm going to PMC on Factory just so I can get used to cqc fighting then run customs for some more varied stuff
Aha that place is terrifying
Its exactly what you want!
You aren't wrong, Interchange is a good map, barring snipers in those common spots that look outside
even on day raids, I always kind of overestimate snipers, because there really aren't that many good spots. You shoot at Olli loading dock from Emercom? How much traffic does that realistically get.
Oh okay, so go to the main concourse, front entrance on second floor
same thing.
if youre still worried about snipers go night.
Yeah those two like large platforms that sit on the mall are prime sniper spots. Same with dome on Reserves. But I think you're right. Through just putting myself in there, go balls to the wall, I think I can start gaining that confidence
okay. You said you wanted CQB.
Interchange is just CQB.
you dont shoot outside at all.
ffs there's people who say shotguns are viable on Interchange lmao.
those people are wrong but its an acceptable viewpoint.
Man, shotties on Interchange XD
I wish shotguns were better, I do like them quite a lot
If you go saiga with the 20 round drum and ap 20 shells, I could see it working.
But what's nice is that Interchange is very level so unless someone is ratting in a corner you can usually have an easier time spotting them from my experience
Unless you're near Killa. Anyway thanks a ton for the video it was very educational
Gotta hit the hay, it's 3:30AM
its funny you bring him up, cuz
I was talking about using the saiga with ap20 on him earlier.
people here think its viable.
dunno if that still works
it used to stunlock him but i heard that doesnt work anymore
it still stun locks him?
You can still stunlock Killa
i dont know i know i only tried 5 times this wipe but i dunno if its the changes to ai but it feels more difficult to stunlock him
Take a Klin with PMM and dump into his legs
When I killed him in the past, it was always with best in class ammo so I didn't need to stunlock him.
how to i claim the xmas gift?
When did you start playing?
4.4.20
You can't claim the Christmas gift.
um you kinda needed to start playing during christmas?

Zero To Hero is streamer bait
well, not streamer bait
And doing Zero To Hero with a knife isn't Zero To Hero, that's called hatchet running
Bro I have nothing in my inventory and I m not trying to lose money,
Scav has time limit on it
I really think they shouldn’t have put limit for it
If there was no time limit people would only play Scav so that they could have a chance at getting really high value items with zero effort.
If you suck at the game that's not the game's fault.
I guess
Bro the spawning rate is stupid tho, I got spawned in middle of a war zone with a Tt pistol what do you want me to do , take down m4a guys ?
tfw you're a pepega and forget that you dont have office extract
What are the best ways of getting fuel? I'm level 6, so no flea market yet. I'm doing scav runs on Interchange, but everything is gone by the time I get there and on pmc raids I keep getting destroyed before getting to oli.
Oli on Interchange, or the buildings on Reserve.
@sage dock wanna party up ?
@bold kernel Pick up the scraps of fights or hit caches.
If you deliberately try to go for people with good gear that's on you
Bro they find me 😂
@sage dock interchange or on customs are some spawns
@bold kernel thanks, but can't now
@silver hornet @fiery rover thanks, will try Reserve
Bro I wish this game was better with for its beginner stage; I teamed up with so many begginners and they all suck like me because there is no damn tutorial or at least a skilled bass match making
A tutorial is planned
any form of matchmaking goes against the concept of the game 😄
I m not arguing it’s a bad game, I genuinely enjoy this game, it’s fun and gives me joy but it’s so fuckin hard to compete against players with much more experience than you
Isn't that the case in literally every other game with online multiplayer?
I understand, but for new players it’s hard, like I keep telling my self you can do it you can do it you can do it, I join the damn match and get head shot from 100 m by a m4a pmc
It might be, but doesn’t mean it should be in this game, if someone throws his money in the river doesn’t mean you should do too
That analogy makes no sense whatsoever but ok.
Tarkov isn't meant to be fair or forgiving.
@sage dock
here's where I find fuel on reserve
honestly if you want to be the hero in your game, you should go play a single player game. Otherwise in multiplayer games, you ll always be worse than someone. If you are new in the game you are probably worst than everyone that's already playing. and that's how it is for everygame ever.
I love the combat mechanics and looting of this game but it’s just too hard, for beginners, they get scared to loose their gear so they go in with shiti gear, they go in with shiti gear they die, plus add that on top of how angle and combat techniques work in this game. Bro not ones is asking to be fair or forgiving, it can be unfair and unforgiving, but for the same players with same experience, having not equal guns and penetrations and damages already makes it super unfair and unforgivable, which is understandable because that makes the game fun, but putting super experienced players against dummies like me and a whole bunch of others is a bad idea
In your opinion it's a bad idea.
My homie literally rage quit the game cause he was tired of dying from no where
That sounds a problem for your friend.
Instead of trying to learn why he gets killed,
he gives up.
You will never get better if you do that.
when you go duo with a friend and 3 runs in a row you get lucky headshots form enemies that survive a full auto blast from you
sometimes a break is ok
@silver hornet thanks for that map!
lol bro it’s just a game, the purpose of the game to have fun not to replace it with your life, don’t expect me to sit my ass down at my pc 6 hours a day grinding.
Let alone the long server ques and all those stuff
So
because you refuse to learn how to get better at the game,
the game should be made easier.
no its hard to get in to, hes right
lol bro it’s just a game, the purpose of the game to have fun not to replace it with your life, don’t expect me to sit my ass down at my pc 6 hours a day grinding.
@bold kernel man, i dont think this game is for you.
^^^^
i mean its fun as fuck one you grind but
go play cod or something bud
its hard af to get into
Bro pls, don’t determine what’s for me and what’s not
yo somebody know the best way to get salewa for the therapist quest?
fkin getting headache ngl XD
@split dagger craft them
well I dont have that paid thing
he didnt, you determined it for yourself, u cant handle playing 6 hours a day, this clearly isnt the game for u
😦
how many do you need?
Fuel from interchange right?
@split dagger https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/718383946315989082/Reservefuel.png
Empty out your alpha container, run around these spots and check for the blue fuel containers. Once you find one, put it in your container.
Interchange or Reserve
or customs or reserve
Ah man just gimme that level 5 flea market back XD
how many you missing blackout?
3 atm
@spiral root bro like we went so much off topic, like let the grinding part go away, I already said that I loved the combat mechanics and lootings, I said my problem is the skilled based match making,
i can give you those if you want
What do u want for it
Im not broke at all lmao I can give u some stuff for it
I had some good raids
ya i mean i didnt see everything, but your not wrong this game does take alot of work, the skill gap in this game is HUUUUGE
so get ready to waste alot of time playing
or just dont =/
@fiery rover U need Car kits? or mp7? XD
Lol more like waste a lotta life playing
wow 😄
100%
And the funny thing, super comes and clears everything out like wtf
na its good they cost 8k to make so its not much
You don't need to dedicate your entire life to be good at the game
I grinded so hard for the game just to clear all the saves ? Wow
Or at least not whine and complain about matchmaking when you die to people who know the game better than you + have better gear than you.
the game has a very steep learning curve you either like it or not but even a tutorial won't really help you much
ya theres an idea right now for a standard game mode with no resets and a ranked game mode with resets constantly, kinda like diablo. floats around somewhere on the forums
And apparently they call it fun, like man it’s a waste of time, time is more important that gold my guy
Oh sorry sir
Lol more like waste a lotta life playing
@bold kernel sounds like you just want a echobox to complain about "how hard the game is for a casual player". You should just start a reddit thread or something. clearly most ppl here dont agree with you.
It's not a waste of time if they enjoy playing it that way.
And I even think the devs touched on that idea
It'd probably be the best way to go about this game
@silver hornet yea when I die to some one who head shots me with a m4a while I m minding my own business with a pistol
Lol
wipe mentality changes from player to player
the less u know the game, the less likely u enjoy wipes
@bold kernel And how is that a problem?
players that know this game like the back of their hand have no issues with wipes and have a pretty big advantage during a wipe over those that do not
If complaining is the first thing you do instead of learning how you could've avoided that situation, that sounds like a personal problem.
Bro , I dedicated 48 hours of my life , since the past 2 days
Which I bought the game
ya whos to say its the first thing he does
and if u havent raged at tarkov
ur just lie'n bud
I'm not saying I've never raged at Tarkov.
I learned so much shit, so stop it with the don’t have passion for llearning bs
mordern day cunt
enliven this game is not minding your own buisness this game is about going in gathering loot and kill people
keep to yourself
lmao okay bud
okay
My point is,
Whatever bud
@fiery rover you played division before ?
I'm not the one asking for the game to be easier because I suck at it
getting headshotted is part of the game deal with it, i dropped someone with an unmodded aksu who was waring t5 armor and fully modded guns that guy was pissed as well
i played 1 and 2 and they are a vastly different game oO
@spiral root lol ok having freedom of opinion is called being a dick head, right
i got killed 1min later from another dude because i forgot to check my fire mode and reload the weapon shit happens
@bold kernel if you are having this much of concern, 2 days after you buy a game i dont see how you can enjoy any game that doesnt hold your hand from start to finish. which is fine. tons of people are like that. Tarkov aint for that people though.
also 2 days worth of learning tarkov is more or less nothing
Reminds me of that dude from Twitch Rivals saying he had 300 hours in the game and said he knows it pretty well.
also 2 days worth of learning tarkov is more or less nothing
@fiery rover yup. it really isnt. i got the game for over a couple of months and still feel like im just scratching the surface.
think i have the same amount of hours maybe more in it but i am far from an expert for that i like to do bullshit way too much 😄
@umbral oak my guy, my point from that sentence was that I do have the passion for grind and I do have the passion for loving this game, I literally said that I genuinely enjoy the fuck out the game, but dying too much to too many experienced players doesn’t make the game fun, it just makes it more miserable, like I have been trying to have a good raid for the past 5 hours, I haven’t got a single bullet out of it
How is that a good experience ?
this game is not for grinding
That's part of the Tarkov experience.
This game is for grinding if you're a streamer.
@fiery rover bro did you just say this game is not for grinding ?
its good for the guy who got the stuff you grinded for him
what?
its a high risk, high reward, unforgivable pvp type of game. sounds like you would like more of a PVE Co OP game. like Division or warframe.
Any advice for completing the shootout picnic quest, I'm lvl 7 with only like 100k left lol
Lol how about that guy grind for me once, cause I have been grinding for a 5 hours and I haven’t got a single bullet ; ain’t I got kids to feed ?
@wise crane Play as a Scav to build your capital
once you get money, buy cheap guns like Mosins or SKSs
the thing is, you wrote your opinion, and you can see that most people dont agree with you. its not a matter of not understanding your point. its just we like Tarkov just the way it is.
@umbral oak lol my guy I bet you never dominated in division one dark zone
That shit is even more toxic than this game and gta
Have you seen videos of it ?
Oh God, imagine if even more normies discovered this game.
Then you call it multiplayer co op ?
sounds like you would be having more fun playing that, then mang
@silver hornet I've got an sks with a sniper scope, I'm just afraid of taking it in raid and losing it lol
@wise crane why I said, play as a Scav to earn more money and gear
@umbral oak bro at least come up with explanation, people play different games they enjoy different shit, I never asked division to become tarkov, I never asked tarkov to become division
@silver hornet 10-4
Yep
@umbral oak bro at least come up with explanation, people play different games they enjoy different shit, I never asked division to become tarkov, I never asked tarkov to become division
@bold kernel Explanation on why we like the game the way it is? or why the game is like that? Or how can i help you enjoy the game? I cant man, i wish i could, couse i really want more people playing this game. But at the same time i dont want the game to change, and become more casual. So i dont know how i can help you
Matter of fact, I just got that quest done today by running around with a Mosin
Do you always run armor?
For quests like that?
Very cheap armor.
Like PACAs.
Although I did run a cheap class 3 armor like the 6B23
which quest?
ah
i do that quest in a special way
grab a TT go in at night just run to sawmill and try to kill a scav or 2 however i am aware that i prolly gonna die i mean i don't like woods anyway
Lol
@umbral oak well that is a reasonable explanation, tho If you want to sit down and debate about this it’s gonna take years.
i forgot is the rb-pk key good
I just wish they had more preparation for us noobies bro
yeah
there's no RB-PK
Lol
BK is the marked room key
ah nice
One more question, do y'all sell everything you find early game or save it? Like weapon parts and stuff I mean
@wise crane I kept everything I got, my inverntory is ful
I save barter items and items I know are required for quests
Me and my friends all have standard edition but we are coming by. However using an alpha container is hard. Which "containers" are handy to carry in my 2x2? Like, is a DOCS case worth it?
Did the DOCS case also carry valuables?
Like skulls and stufc
Or was that the S I C C case...
Also I always wondered what: "

what kind of armor/helmet can protect from getting oneshotted by a mosin?
what ammo is said mosin shooting?
if lps then level 5, if snb then nothing
level 4 will protect your body for most shots, but you will have 5ish hp
what if it is the ammo you can buy from level 1 Prapor?
that is lps
oh
you need lvl 4 armor or level 5 helmet
That explains alot of deaths
and level 4 armor leaves you on like 5 hp
also
762x54 is very strong
Me and my friends keep getting an connection error in raids (europe) but i've died from it once
Is it common atm?
7.62x54 needs a rework to be realistic but 
i've not had any problems like that on na recently, if your ping is too high for too long it dc's you
There's no reason to ever run 7N37 when SNB exists but SNB's job in this game is performed by 7N37 IRL
Sometime's my ping skyrockets to 80-100 but normally its on 15 or lower
all ammo does imo, most of it has too much pen. but we need plate hit boxes before they mess with stuff too much
But I kept ''logs'' from my ping but it never hit that high as it said in tarkov
Nah but that's the thing, they added a bunch of useless ammo types for 7.62x54mmR.
There's absolutely no reason to run anything outside of LPs, 7N1, or SNB.
Unless you use tracers for sniping, you use either of those three rounds.
I think its more or less the servers ping then. Because if my friend and probly the whole raid gets thrown out its more likely thats the case
like does m61 even pen nij 4 on the first shot irl (you did day realistic)
also exept maybe a few Saiga's are shotguns really worth keeping?
Because before wipe hit it only brought me misfortune
not really unless you have ap-20
I wouldn't say about GOST 6 is comparable to NIJ 4
They compare different things
But anyways, yeah, I agree
We're just gonna have to wait for reworks
i hope they lower pen to be more realistic with plate hit boxes. then watch as everyone complains about getting one shotted by shotguns
slick with huge unarmored areas lol
how rare and expensive are secure cases by Fence
Probably very rare, and very expensive.
True... an Alpha container is a never ending struggle
Try and do the tasks you can get Epsilon
Prapor right?
yep
Punisher serie's are gonna be tough tho
can we join the beginners assistance voice channel randomly??
just wanted to learn some maps
yes
warehouse 17 is close to a sniper scav and RUAF roadblock right?
by that duffle bag
Hi, I am new to this server, it looks very good, is there a way of finding people that can play on particular servers? I am in Australia so i can only play on Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong unfortunately, thanks

Whats the biggest vest in space and smallest in stash
so i can use it as a item case
belt?
i would say the avs prolly or the tv-110
unarmored
hm
the belt-a +belt b gear rig
but they lack a 2x2 slot
that ones mostly for 1 slot stuff
next one might be the black rock
hold w and you win
what
is there a site to check flee market prices?
its outdated
When are you tagged and cursed? aslong if you wear a rig your fine right? (or have a primary)
Quick question, where are people finding NVGs and thermals?
weapon boxes
Weapon boxes, loose spawns, flea market, traders, etc.
did i meess up buying m855?
M855 sucks.
m995 is trash?
m885 is 200roubles
if you're a bit broke m855 will do, but it does suck
M995 Kinda lacks flesh damage
Yeah it's for armor
and rn u dont need it
Pretty 995 will 2-3 tap a thorax regardless
well m995 is for armor pen just like the 7n39
not this early in the wipe when many people are still running class 3 & 4
this early not really later on when people run t5 and t6 more often then yes
right now you probably need a m856a1 to go by easily
its 1k
Labs is probably a good place to run M995 since most people bring their good gear there
same price as m995
allthough m855 is not trash its justnot the strongest but its decent compared ot other options
You get what you pay for
im runin gen 4 altyn m4 with m885
If you wanna shred, spend 1k, if you don't have that money, spend 200
as always it all boils down to money
if oyu have 450 million then it desn't matter if you pay 200 or 1k for a bullet
if you have 500k it matters
fuck me i died
sry just fucked myself so can't fuck you
i only do customs
i just tried woods as scav, got a fal and mp153
but quests demand i go there
Looking for someone to show me the ropes? Anyone down?
thats my rope collection
can anyone explain where this key goes: https://escape-from-tarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Military_base_checkpoint_key ? I know where the checkpoint is but when i'm standing right in front of the door it won't let me unlock it. tried to move it from my gamma to my pockets, still not working. any ideas?
Just want to make sure, if I take something into an offline raid to try it out, will it erase the found in raid status of the item?
no idea for offline
@gritty folio if you have the key, it should open the door in the middle.
it opens the door in the picture
🤔
i'm not ingame rn
...
but i tried it in like 10 raids
it opens that door trust me because i have that key and i used it in the past a lot
ya its a good early key, AK spawns, ammo boxes
well it is tricky though
@wise crane It shouldn't. If it does it's probably a bug
ok i will check again, maybe i have missed the 2nd door all the time for some reason (i rarely go there)
because you can get easily trapped
@bold kernel thanks
