Don't you love when playerscavs are just really dumb
this guy was just sitting in office, looting the fucking loudest thing in there (filing cabinets) and then he heard me walk in. Literally didn't move. And tried to leg meta me. (even though i had no helmet) and got blasted by my ak.

but thats just me

Is it just me or are multiple extracts on customs not working? I haven't been able to extract at gas station, trailer park worker's shack and roadblock despite the extracts marked as open...
silver hornet
RUAF Roadblock?
Old gas station is only available if there are green flairs not working
I don't know about worker's shack, but RUAF Roadblock is notoriously broken right now.
weary badge
Yeah there were green flairs at old gas
still havent been able to extract
Had to ditch my armor and one of the primary's to sprint to ZB then extract with 4 seconds on the timer left

did gas statioin, zb-011 and zb-012
even did vr dorms once

oh god damnit bot
fiery rover
what?

If I said my name that would ruin you not knowing
fiery rover
dm me
proven citrus
@weary badge its a bug, keep standing there for a while and you will extract
as long as the exit is open and it shows up when you double-tap O
it will work
its just a bug
also, quick question since i had this conversation with someone who didnt really knew either - do larger vests (usually armored rigs) that have a larger model also provide more protection (kinda like the 'dickflap' in front of some of the armored rigs for example) or is it just for show?
bold kernel
pls help me get the office documents and go to factory its impossible
proven citrus
i'm ignoring that quest for the coming few weeks for a reason @bold kernel 😛

are tasks the only way to raise standing with dealers?

Ive been to that office 3 times now
radiant sable
Yes
bold kernel
You died every time? @bold kernel
I got it once and died factory then the other 2 i died after leaving the warehouse
At least ive been able to pocket some items from the safe
Yeah you kinda need a duo to do it reliably
Where can I find some elite pliers
hollow jewel
you have to do both maps consecutively without dying?
bold kernel
yes 😦
proven citrus
you should team up with someone doing it as well @bold kernel i'll let you know when i get to the quest, still need to finish the previous one from prapor atm
we can do it together
im not really good at tarkov either, but 2 guns is better than one, right? 🙂
fiery rover
well you can take some time between the quests
hollow jewel
i need to do it too but i havent played factory
fiery rover
you can put it in the offraid stash if you doN#t wanna factory right away
proven citrus
@hollow jewel thankfully its super easy to learn, play it a bit solo against scavs
itll help you get a feel of it
@bold kernel elite pliers drop from ground caches and toolboxes, or just buy it off the flea if you can turn it in

any good maps for interchange?
tiny raven
https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/interchange try this one
fiery rover
whats that
bold kernel
It was a program installed that would give realtime info on your map on a website. So you could have the map open on another monitor and it would follow you so that you know where you have been or where you need to go etc
fiery rover
that will hopefully never happen

Thats a thing, its called a radar, and its banned

any up to date weapon modding tools out there?

@bold kernel yes but no loot
Tons of choke points too
Just a great way to learn pvp and scav behavior

with the quest where i have to go to custom office take docs and drop it in facotry, HOW do i do it? i pick it up extract and then when i join factory i cant drop it and the docs are gone
tidal quarry

fiery rover
you go in customs, grab the item extract
then go into factory run to the place where you should be and you get the "place" prompt
hold f to place the item, a timer will run down its 30seconds
after that you have dropped them
the item can be found in your raid stash, if you go into another raid and die and don#t put the item in your offraid stash you lose it

Any tips on how to get the items for the beta case?

just for a reference to the beta that trade is worth as follows:

@sterile tapir i have but i just dont know where any good loot spots are besides health resort or the best way to extract
fiery rover
2 Ledx - 1,3mill each
6 MCB - 160k each
3 AESA - 131k each
all in all: 3,95 million for a 3x2 safe container
fiery rover
the punisher questline is ok the only expensive quest there is ice cream cones if you buy them its currently 100k each so 500k
rest is doable with normal playing
i mean its just an advice if you have 4mill to burn you can get it but if oyu ever do prapor its wasted money because you can't sell the beta case

power station has one that spawns on the back shelf in the office room.
plus the one in the PC there.
Each of the main stores, Olli/Goshan/Idea has this little door that leads to its own separate "computer room?"
shy kettle
so go interchange?
solemn pike
You could, but like I said anywhere you find a PC youll find an HDD. I only really play Interchange, but i know Reserve has a bunch of PCs as well.
one of the few locations to not really have many is factory,theres only one.
shy kettle
do i need a key?
silver hornet
no
shy kettle
okay
olive turret
@fierce galleon theres none on flea?
fierce galleon
Not any time I've checked no
olive turret
dang i would drop you one since i have him level 3 but im at work
lapis shale
I have 3 shemaghs but I’m so confused as to why everyone needs them
solemn pike
If Fence and Skier both dont sell the 3m vest, would that be different if i went to a new server?
wild falcon
fastest way to get to lvl 30?
silver hornet
@solemn pike no
@wild falcon quests
velvet dagger
^that also
prime jackal
where is a good place for spark plugs? Been running interchange all night and not a single car battery or spark plug in OLI
solemn pike
try techlight too.
barren dome
anybody willing to help me with Golden Swag skier quest? im solo
tawny pulsar
how many roubles do i need to spend to go up .01 in flea market? 50k? i dont remember and cant find it on google
lapis mauve
lots
ocean crane
i'm not sure why but 4 scavs just all rushed the room i left on reserve and i just shot all of them why did they do this
ocean crane
i see
in that run
i ended up surviving barely
ran from that room after i looted them hoping for a bandage spoiler alert there was no bandage and i ran all the way to sewer manhole in the most visible and worst way possible
vale wave
How come grenade don't make noise half the games I am in?
Is there any way to fix that?
ocean crane
idk happens with me too
solemn pike
@olive turret
tranquil wedge
What armor should you get if you dont have access to flea
lapis mauve
paca, but its only useful vs bad pistol ammo and buckshot
tranquil wedge
So nothing from fence?
lapis mauve
if you have a bunch of soap and tp you can get level 4 armor
soft rover
Fence is random gear
lapis mauve
fence sells things other people sell to him, usually useless broken junk
tranquil wedge
How do I get rag lvl2
lapis mauve
spend money with him and be level 15
tranquil wedge
Oh at lvl 15 u can use flea right?
lapis mauve
lvl 10
lapis mauve
its decent, but finding the stuff to trade for it might be hard. and its ceramic so its only good for 2-3 raids
lapis mauve
group is easier. i've done it solo, usually at night and waiting until 10 min left
hasty silo
I'll give somebody 150k if they let me kill them with a pistol
lapis mauve
it doesn't work if they are in your group, would need to try to sync drop
hasty silo
that's the plan
hasty silo
I don't have prapor/pk3 and mags for either are >30k
near geyser
Anyone willing to take a new player out on some raids and show him the ropes? I've mostly been doing offline PMCs to learn maps and then less than fruitful Scav runs
lapis mauve
be a scumbag and buy guns with mags in them then sell the guns
wise crane
What's the best way to level up if you're not very good at pvp yet?
silver hornet
quests
ocean crane
are wd-40s needed for the hideout
bold kernel
How do you stop yourself from loot hoarding and not using stuff in fear of lossing it?
near geyser
I plan on getting over that by just slapping on my best stuff and yeeting myself into a raid. Not sure if it is a wise advise tho @bold kernel
I am a total noob tho so take that with a grain of salt
tranquil wedge
If I die after getting the docs from customs office do I have to go back and get them again
Like die on any map
for delivery from the past
icy kayak
yes you have to put them into the quest item storage
steel grail
is the as-val good
tranquil wedge
depends on ur ammo really
honest hamlet
are there any quests or way to increase strength
wise crane
Y'all ever shoot at someone and think you killed them but then you can find their body or even where they ran to? Like they just disappeared??
steel grail
ive shot at someone and I thought I killed them so I went to go loot and when I went he was hiding in a bush with a shotgun and killed me
bold kernel
@wise crane sometimes people's bodies phase through the floor
wise crane
@bold kernel but they'd show up on the end raid report as a kill right?
bold kernel
Yeah
solemn pike
In the time ive spent trying to get these last 2 3M vests for the quest, i very easily could have done 3-4 raids and averaged 4k exp per one
Fence doesnt sell them, they only really spawn on Factory and factory is a shitshow.
wise crane
Weird, I've had that happen a couple times now. People disappearing....
solemn pike
I dont know how to explain this. He's had 3m vests listed a few times
just didnt buy them quickly enough.
desert hull
its literally when a player sells them to fence
just get level 10 and buy them off flea
desert hull
so just get it
solemn pike
word im gonna wave my magic wand.
clear tartan
Where do you find the flash drives? Been looking for days now
solemn pike
pretty exclusively on the exterior of PCs.
wise crane
I once spent almost an hour trying to buy a pistol case from fence, then I realized there's bots buying up that stuff and gave up
shy kettle
i need help with deliver from the past quest with prapor
silver hornet
@steel grail it was Meta last wipe, it got some changes this wipe.
@tranquil wedge you've played Factory, right? It's the metal room by the stairs by gate 3. Second floor by locker room.
@honest hamlet no quests.
desert hull
@wise crane why from fence
wise crane
@desert hull not level 10 yet and was having inventory issues lol
olive turret
oh my bad im at work im on my break now
desert hull
@wise crane sell everything you can buy from traders
olive turret
and no changing servers wont do much
desert hull
and also sell most guns
you should only be keeping like 3 rigs/armors/guns at a time
olive turret
just keep refreshing and hope you get lucky or progress on other quests to get to 10 and buy off flea
olive turret
oh which one
solemn pike
you said you were focusing on looting guns and shit instead of quests
what level are you.
olive turret
oh i think i hit 30
not sure but i killed 3 raiders and extracted on labs before i left for work and i was on the cusp of reaching 30
@desert hull 
im hoarding a ton of rigs and more than 15 guns
desert hull
yeah but you're also EoD
desert hull
and like, you're experienced enough to know what you can do
other homie is likely standard and inexperienced I imagine
olive turret
oh fuck i forgot the struggles of being standard addition
desert hull
yeah, 1/3 the stash space
olive turret
i was standard edition for my first 15 levels
last wipe
it was a real struggle yo
desert hull
if you're EoD then sure, keep everything
but as a standard you gotta set limits and keep only what you must
have you got your flash drives yet? @olive turret
solemn pike
@desert hull are you calling me standard and inexperienced?
desert hull
the guy keeping everything
wise crane
I'm standard and inexperienced lol
wise crane
I'm probably gonna get EoD, just didn't want to make that investment before knowing if I really liked the game first lol
ancient falcon
do you get any exp from eating when energy and hydration is full?
olive turret
@desert hull yeah i got both for skier
desert hull
locations?
olive turret
i've been lucky and i had 4 scav runs where i spawned with a flashdrive
desert hull
been running interchange nonstop
olive turret
i tried for 4-5 hours searching customs, ic, and woods for a flash drive but found 0 so i stopped caring then my scavs were lucky
desert hull
searched at least 100 computers that havent been searched previously
still havent got a single one lol
also checked 10+ campsites on woods/customs
luck has not favored me this wipe
y'all ever do loot runs like this?
you get 1 kill, sometimes none, and only spend like 12 minutes in raid
but get a full tri-zip of loot from stashes and shit so "fuck it might as well leave"
i mean like this is good for me
wise crane
I'd be happy just getting that xp consistently lol
solemn pike
Its really hard for us to judge how "good" that is when you wont show us your stash or stash value.
another thing. That AK sucks.
not worth carrying it back.
I dont think the xeno thing has a use right now either.
the 40mm grenade thing only sells for 900 roubles? and iirc thats all you can do with it.
youre wearing the green 6BS-15. You should be wearing the 6B3TM instead.
solemn pike
oof, im the big dumb.
desert hull
pretty sure in workbench
solemn pike
but still 6b3tm.
desert hull
@solemn pike I meant is that a decent run for 12 minutes
I got full outside interchange and just said "hey, fuck it lets just extract"
its not like the best shit but I feel like it's worth the 12 minutes
bold kernel
B ois
desert hull
then you just go right back in
solemn pike
I guess thats not bad. Must be a lot of the good stores were hit.
desert hull
the AK is worth carrying back
solemn pike
at that point they usually are.
desert hull
you can sell for 20-30k to skier/mech
and I had an open slot so theres literally no reason not to
solemn pike
Is it really that much?
desert hull
if you disassemble and sell what you can to skier, then sell the rest to mech
solemn pike
the .366 round does almost no pen whatsoever.
desert hull
its at least 20k
.366 is actually decent now
not like, good for anytime past early wipe
but the best ammo for it pens class 3 now iirc
yeah
full pens class 3
thats not even that bad
I still wouldnt use it much but it could be a good early wipe starter gun
solemn pike
Forgive me the insubordination, I was here when the VPO 215 came out. Brought it into a raid,spawned at power station, shot a scav wearing a Ratnik in the head 13 times.
desert hull
if you can get ahold of that EKO ammo
bold kernel
and you gotta get lucky with 4
desert hull
.366 ammo got buffed since the VPO215 came out I think
or was it the same patch? hard to remember
EKO used to not pen class 3 thats for sure
solemn pike
.366 was absolutely useless when the VPO came out.
solemn pike
with 13 shots.
desert hull
I have a clip where I shoot a scav 8-9 times as well though
if you cant pen, you cant pen
have you not seen the clips where someone lives through like 4 mags of ammo from a gun cause the guy had shit ammo?
solemn pike
Im pretty sure whatever the lowest pen 5.56 round is will pen a ratnik in under 5 shots.
of course I have! thats why im bringing it up. Did you read my story from Thursday.
desert hull
well the EKO round for .366 always pens now
as long as it doesnt ricochet
the ratnik
and no i didnt
silver hornet
@solemn pike 5.56 Warmage has 3 pen
solemn pike
I always do night raids on Interchange for a hundred different reasons, main one is i like the aesthetic, other one is I hate how open the sightlines are
gets down to be very late in the raid, say bout 17m left. Kinda casually strolling through Goshan, run into a scav, shoot him 7 times in the chest with PS rounds in my SKS.
thinkin/hopin its killa cuz he didnt die.
moral of the story.
dont get baited into the corridor of death.
iron agate
Beautifully written, bravo
solemn pike
thank you.
tame karma
Just curious, is punisher part 2 bugged? I got like 8 scav kills with a supressed akm and none of them counted
glacial sorrel
do any traders sell scopes for a decent price?
i cant tell whats worth it with them
desert hull
prapor sells a cheap PSO scope that is good
only fits onto guns with dovetail mounts so some russian guns
tame karma
@desert hull Just the standard 7.62 AKM, with the DTKP MK.2 supressor
desert hull
do you have traders leveled? @glacial sorrel
solemn pike
its the space between Kiba and Rasmussen.
glacial sorrel
@desert hull nope
desert hull
@tame karma yeah so apparently that supp doesnt work with the quest
tame karma
:/
desert hull
@glacial sorrel then yeah if by scope you mean actual scopes
and not reflex sights, then prapor sells the only one in the PSO
glacial sorrel
nah just sights my bad
desert hull
so all sights, not just scopes?
solemn pike
Killa spawns pretty close to Kiba generally. Kiba is always camped by people on the second floor. If Killa dont get you the second floor assclowns will. If neither of them get you, the donut between the tank store and Rasmussen will surely do it.
hence corridor of death.
glacial sorrel
best value for compatibility, the look of the reticle, etc
tame karma
@desert hull Does the PBS-1 work with the AKM?
In terms of the shoreline supressed kills
tame karma
Nah, looking at it, compatible with 7.62
glacial sorrel
another question, what are the most dead US servers
glacial sorrel
yep lol
tame karma
Is the one I used not working because its new or something?
desert hull
dallas is usually it
glacial sorrel
k thanks, ill try that
desert hull
but everything is pretty lit rn
glacial sorrel
are the servers with the longest average queue time usually the most dead?
clear tartan
Any budget build for the AKM?
Its for the punisher quest
viral cape
Anyone think they could help out a new player with which barter items to vendor/keep? (lvl 6 so no flea market)
got a full inventory atm and not sure what to vendor
solemn pike
sell the retail guns to mechanic, sell parts to skiier. Sell PC stuff/most other stuff to Therapist.
viral cape
i know where to sell items just not sure whats worth keeping vs vendoring since i was trying to wait for flea market access
tawny pulsar
dang. lol i need your nuts and bolts
plus your hose
sell your dog tags.
you cant sell them on the flea
viral cape
jaeger stashes ftw
i was keeping those in hopes of finding a sicc case to get lucky scav junk box
tawny pulsar
oh gotcah
viral cape
but if you reccommend just paying the 1.2m ill do that instead
tawny pulsar
i wish i had your bawller edition
i def struggled more with inventory management
you have good stuff for your level too
viral cape
Yeah for sure, I just wanted to support the devs, the extra stuff is def a perk
I played on last wipe and have been learning a lot but im still nowhere near where i should be
tawny pulsar
what level are you? you seem to be doing better than me when i was prior to level 10
viral cape
level 6
viral cape
that's a tough call because the helix for sure i know i'll need down the line
tawny pulsar
i could give you the shotgun for the mechanic quest
tawny pulsar
lol let me see if i still got it
viral cape
give me assistance on the extract?
tawny pulsar
uhm sure
viral cape
thanks xD just dont wanna do the trade then lose the shotgun lmao
viral cape
no problem im doing some selling right now using the site that guy earlier provided
take your time
tawny pulsar
lol that was also me
tawny pulsar
alright i dont have it so let me assemble it real quick and see how much itll cost
viral cape
thanks!
lapis mauve
what do you need?
tawny pulsar
i got it
lapis mauve
gunsmith shotgun?
solemn pike
if anyone could assemble the gunsmith 1 shotgun for me that'd be really cool, I dont have flea im only level 7.
sterile tapir
@solemn pike you can get at least 2 parts easily
prisma stirrup
Or you can do mechanic barter trade
sterile tapir
For two HDD you can barter the mp-133 at mechanic (the pump)
And get a mp-133 With a pistol grip
Also buy the laser from skier
lapis mauve
I’ll do it tomorrow if you need the parts still
sterile tapir
*3 parts
lapis mauve
Just message me then
sterile tapir
Now for my beginner assistance
If you have a task were you have to kill pmc's. Does it count if I were to kill my teammates?
lapis mauve
Nope
lapis mauve
Unless you sync drop, but it’s not guaranteed for you to get in the same game
lapis mauve
I’ve only done that once. Died twice in the same game lol
sterile tapir
Oof
Yea... It's because I want to rush Prapor quests.....
And I'm not looking forward to the punisher series
lapis mauve
They are easier now with more people playing and doing quests
Later they will be harder
sterile tapir
And let alone all the tasks past delivery from the past and woods scavs
prisma stirrup
Delivery from the past sucks and woods sucks
sterile tapir
I mean when I had to kill 3 pmc's with a pistol
It took me 5 matches in factory but I came to like the idea
And I kept going and had made way too much profit for just running around with a berreta
prisma stirrup
I'm so stuck on my last three scav kills on woods I always bump into players before I see a singular scav
sterile tapir
There are not alot of spawns
prisma stirrup
Yea...
prisma stirrup
Yeah was using mosin had best luck with that
sterile tapir
As long as you use ps ammo
Otherwise your gonna have it rough when you see your dmg output xd
prisma stirrup
Yeah
desert hull
@prisma stirrup heres a tip, go slower
most new ppl's mistake is rushing around trying to find shit
sterile tapir
Tarkov is mainly just: you die quite some. And then you make really good plays/break troughs
prisma stirrup
My aim is not finding stuff on woods I just wanna kill scavs
desert hull
as boring as it is for some people (I don't mind doing it, kinda relaxing) its best for newer players to camp a bit for the first 10-20 minutes
sterile tapir
Yea playing slow and not always running helps alot
desert hull
scavs respawn throughout the raid, but you don't
lapis mauve
Plus right at the start there is a lot of pmc’s and not a lot of scavs spawned yet
prisma stirrup
I guess I gotta hide for a while at firdt
desert hull
let the PMCs kill each other and extract and shit
you don't gotta be sitting in a corner or anything, just move slower and use your eyes and ears
prisma stirrup
Yeah
desert hull
sit on your side of the map basically
prisma stirrup
Okay
desert hull
after 20 minutes you can gradually ramp up the pace you move
because a lot of the PMCs will be dead or extracted
sterile tapir
In tarkov there is really no "camping" unless your at the exit that is
desert hull
I tell every new player this and it generally helps them a shit ton in geting things like quests done
prisma stirrup
I'll give it a shot soon I did find out I had most luck half through the time like 0 shots
Most people go out early in woods I think
sterile tapir
Also if you have friends that play tarkov try with them. It keeps moral high
And more fire power
prisma stirrup
Yeah gonna play with my friend soon
sterile tapir
And if you need it a friendly face to cry about
prisma stirrup
Haha
sterile tapir
Enjoy the woods runs
prisma stirrup
Thx
desert hull
@sterile tapir dont fall into the trap in thinking you're "stronger" as a squad in the sense of survivability though
sterile tapir
Also if you have the jaeger mission try to do that as Well @prisma stirrup
desert hull
and definitely don't be running around the map fast just cause you have numbers either
prisma stirrup
Yeah not yet I think it's my next skier one though
desert hull
and DEFINITELY keep comms going at all times and update each other on positioning
way too many new ppl can't keep track of others and you constantly have to tell them "ok dude just turn around and go around the corner"
prisma stirrup
Yeah were good with that luckily
desert hull
like they get lost so easily
on the other hand a shit ton of players want to be shoved up your ass too if you've been designated the "squad leader"
sterile tapir
Turboclicker ik but having a teammate let alone if he died it helps with other pmc's
desert hull
like I'll play with new players sometimes and I'll have a conga line of 2-3 people in a single file row behind me, all within like 10m
that's just asking to get all sprayed down
sterile tapir
The info the meds you forgot to bring
prisma stirrup
Haha
desert hull
and if you ask them to like... spread out a little bit
more often than not they aren't capable of doing it without constantly losing you and having to refind you
sterile tapir
When your dying of dehydration and he rushes to every water spot cuz your leg is blacked
desert hull
I get that people are new but a lot of that stuff is common sense I think
sterile tapir
Just those thing you know?
desert hull
but yeah overall more ppl is easier
sterile tapir
3 is already hard tho
desert hull
even with all these complaints you will probably survive more (or if not survive, you'll get your insured gear back more often)
sterile tapir
2 is better imp
desert hull
but I do suggest sticking to duos and if you must, trios
no more than 3 in a squad including you
and I still suggest duos over anything else
prisma stirrup
I have more fun in duo personally
sterile tapir
No hate but I tried with all my friends a 5 man squad at gate 3
desert hull
the duo is the perfect squad size. it still has the flexibility and mobility of the solo but with the firepower of two people who can cooperate and reposition
desert hull
solo is too outnumbered and 4+ is way too comms heavy and hectic
people dont know how to act in a big squad
sterile tapir
One gun shot and everyone does whatever
