@bold kernel 100% You can succeed at this game with no FPS experience, this game is very little about aim and entirely about game sense. It will take time and deaths for you to gain that game sense so don't be too hard on yourself about struggling. In addition, the stuff above might help you out.

Thank you π
foggy yoke
You sure the game isn't really about aim when its hard to kill players without being able to quickly aim at someone @blissful lagoon?
blissful lagoon
It's more about game sense than aim
If you come around the corner pre-aimed you don't have to aim
foggy yoke
Yeah but aim still matters.
blissful lagoon
Barely
I didn't say it doesn't matter, just that is has very little compared to game sense
foggy yoke
And I did that just then at Dorms with an SV98 and it turned out I hit a player four times with it despite shooting him a couple of times without him or her seeing him and no damage was absorbed by armour either.
I'm not joking, I somehow got killed by that guy despite shooting him four times with steel-core FMJ 7.62x54mmR ammunition. I somehow didn't hit his thorax I think.
blissful lagoon
Probably
foggy yoke
So I think it matters quite a lot, talking about aiming.
blissful lagoon
If damage wasn't absorbed by armor then it was definitely just not on vitals
foggy yoke
Yeah, it was super weird.. I was trying my hardest to aim at his body, I'm so confused.
I should've killed him.
blissful lagoon
I don't consider keeping your crosshair high as aim tbh, I'm referring to like pure mechanical skill being much less important compared to macroing or something else
foggy yoke
I don't, I keep it quite low so I can see more around me.
blissful lagoon
Remember you can always freelook as well
blissful lagoon
You gotta kinda move it fast
foggy yoke
That's the problem, I'm not super efficient like most people.
foggy yoke
I been playing for a year or two.
blissful lagoon
Keep on practicing ^.^
foggy yoke
However, I was pre-aiming nearly the whole time and still only shot the player's limbs despite being able to aim at him for about a second for two shots.
Well I said I have, I'm doing stuff wrong which I'd like to fix.

foggy yoke
Its not only looking for sheraps right?
*sherpas
Because I prefer finding resources instead of playing with people.
*random people.
blissful lagoon
Sherpas are resources
But the Sherpa Hub is a place where you can always just ask questions
foggy yoke
But I want resources, not playing with people to learn. I want to learn how to play on my own especially.
And true, but I don't get how it'd be more useful than this channel since it serves the same purpose.
blissful lagoon
Sherpa Hub is more helpful in my experience
foggy yoke
I know it can be, but I been okay here.
blissful lagoon
For sure

@thick chasm @latent bane if u scroll up and look at the fat msg the bot sent earlier it might help u 2 out
steel raft
So I recently started playing again after a ragequit a few months ago, and had a quesiton after a few videos. Is it preferable to Scav run, or PMC run while still new to the game?
blissful lagoon
I'd suggest do both
sterile relic
Is this for some sort of a fee?
fiery rover
What?
ocean crane
pmc as much as you can then scav for gear or money
that's what i would do since xp might be a problem for you as it was for me
or rotate between pmc and scav
less money spent on healing
bold kernel
When I select flea market, it just keep selecting all items. What is this bug? How to solve it?
Tried reinstall already

Your Profile pic says otherwise
hollow ember
Quests help as they provide ''free XP''
deft hornet
ye im trying but its not ez
especially the one that you have to build the shotgun with parts
hollow ember
You also get XP even if you just survive and extract without kills or much loot
Based on time spent in raid
Forget the shotgun, Prapor and Therapist are better
vernal pond
if you're any good at actual PVP you should try run factory.
hollow ember
Read that as ''really good'' π
vernal pond
Killing people repetitively and headshotting scavs got me to lvl 10 within 3-4 hours.
surreal scaffold
scav factory is probably the easiest, im saying that as someone who also has just started playing though
vernal pond
lol
hollow ember
Nice
surreal scaffold
Even if you
vernal pond
Checkout Pestily's videos if you're new to the game. Explains alot within his raid series.
hollow ember
But yeah, it can be a meat-grinder for new players
surreal scaffold
you're bad at pvp, you can just camp it late in factory
hollow ember
True, check his vids
vernal pond
Even so, its the best way to get better. Playing in corners on any other map doesn't get you better at PVP. Muscle memory used over and over again and learning techniques and how to predict player movements will pay off after enough matches.
hollow ember
Speaking of which, a new one came out today. Yay.
vernal pond
Perhaps meat grinder until then yes π
hollow ember
Exactly, practice. Even in offline mode first.
vernal pond
^^ yeah chuck scavs on impossible
surreal scaffold
Yeah.. i'm trying to get into the game but it's not super intuitive and there's a lot to learn
vernal pond
holy christ, you'll learn to get gud
Its definitely not easy to pickup. Its designed to be pretty harsh.
hollow ember
That's why most of us are here anyway. We're addicted to the chemicals our brains produce when we have a good raid π
'cause it's hard
surreal scaffold
Yeah my main issue is map awareness and just learning the maps themselves...
the maps in game suck dick
vernal pond
they do indeed
hollow ember
Use the wiki ones and play offline
surreal scaffold
i've done offline runs to try and learn customs and factory but i guess i just need to keep running it till its drilled in my head
vernal pond
Yeah.. I remember when me and my mates started, we just had map open and alt tabbed to it. After a few matches you knew what the map looked liked and how it worked.
surreal scaffold
factory is pretty small and easy to extract but i still mix my self up alot
vernal pond
(Flicking to and from it, looking at extracts)
surreal scaffold
Yeah i guess i need to have a map open while i play on a second monitor or something
which is just kind of ridiculous
hollow ember
Small tip, if you have an AMD GPU, there is an overlay you can open with a shortcut and it has a web browser
analog fulcrum
I just Alt Tab to the map in a browser when I need to Β―_(γ)_/Β―, could also open one on like a phone and keep that close to you
mild trellis
yo guys! anyone wanna do a couple of raids with a compl;ete noob?

does anyone have a decent map of extractions on factory?
broken quailBOT
desert hull
specifically this link https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Map_of_Tarkov
then click on the map of tarkov for info on the map you want to play on
has extractions, loot, etc
teal tulip
theres only three extractions? main, offline and tunnel?
desert hull
gate 3, cellers, and gate 0 for PMCs
only gate 3 is available unless you own a factory key
scavs have camera door and office window as well
teal tulip
what about exit 0? do you need a key for that?
deft hornet
how come sometimes the server just freezes for me? everyone walks in place and i just hear continous gunfire
stone moss
It is a game in beta and things don't always work right. Could also be an issue with your connection/hardware.
If you reconnect it might fix it.
bold kernel
Is there a quick way to tell what mods are need to mount a sight?
desert hull
linked search the gun
bold kernel
Have no idea which one is need to get a mounted sight on my Ak74
desert hull
are you >= level 10
bold kernel
Yes
stone moss
There are usually a few ways to make that work. Some mounts you can slap on and put a site on (if it doesn't have one on it already) or you can get a different dust cover or handguard that has rails on it.
round hull
any beginner who wants to play?
silent temple
for an AK, depending on the model, you want either the bastion dust cover which has a rail on it, or you can use a cobra mount on the side
stone moss
Though, some people do prefer that one dot site (can't remember the name think it is PK06 or something) on the handguard rail. I don't, but some swear by it...
silver hornet
^ you got it right
silent temple
on the CAA RS47 handguard?
silent temple
Who the fuck asked you
silver hornet
people usually put the PK-06 on the TT-01
you, apparently
asking questions in a public discord
silent temple
not me asking for the build, dipshits
amber fiber
u are
silent temple
I'm asking what handguard they put the pk06 on
silent temple
Holy fuck though imagine being in a beginner chat and telling people to just figure it out
fuck off
silver hornet
I just said use the TT-01 
silent temple
yeah not you, you're helpful
silver hornet
uh oh big man's here
vernal anchor
@amber fiber Dude this is a beginners chat what on earth is your problem lol
silver hornet
I usually bitch at people here but not like that
stone moss
Man, i come back and I missed all the excitement...
hollow ember

silent temple
Ahh the TT01 replaces the rearsight
Prapor L2.. Thats a good alternative to buying the dust cover I guess
silent temple
Yeah that's why I suggested the other 2 since theyre a bit further back
muted grail
can anyone tell me why i cant hit still standing people with this weapon/scope
it feels like it isnt acurate
silver hornet
what's the MOA?
muted grail
0.76
silver hornet
7N37 has a slower velocity than other rounds, so it'll take slightly longer for the bullet to hit the target
Also, don't use 7N37 lol
muted grail
its it the best bullet?
silver hornet
hell no
silver hornet
In the Mosin? Lps GZH or 7N1, depending on how much money you have
Under no circumstance should you ever use 7N37
muted grail
isnt lps gzh the budget option? i thought 7n36 was to oneshot ppl w/o armor
silver hornet
Lps will one-tap the thorax without armor and up to class 4
7N37 can't one-tap an 80/80 thorax period
stone moss
i love 7n1
silver hornet
SNB does 7N37's job way better
silver hornet
More damage, will always penetrate class 6, it's faster, and it's cheaper.
desert hull
7BT1, SNB, and 7n39 all do the same thing
all pen all armor
so you'd just use SNB because it has the highest damage of the 3
silver hornet
Normally I wouldn't use SNB in a Mosin, because I'd like the one-tap potential of 7N1
desert hull
well
7BT1 has higher damage but its still not enough to gaurantee a one shot
and its a tracer iirc
vital nymph
Is the flir worth it for a noobie? It costs around 500k
desert hull
SNB is the best armor piercing round for mosin, 7N1 is the best all purpose, LPS is acceptable if poor
silver hornet
In an SVD, it's different, because you have a semi-auto rifle with more ammo
vital nymph
I also love night woods run to kill shturman
silver hornet
I would recommend SNB in an SVD, but not for a Mosin
stone moss
Yeah me too
i put 4 lasers on it and hip fire in factory because... why not?
Ash 12 is fun too. Like a mini SVD
silver hornet
ASh 12 is fun, but it can't snipe like the SVD can
in experienced hands like Mako (probably) you can make it work
silver hornet
No, the Mosin is fine
vernal anchor
silver hornet
ty Mako
vernal anchor
silent temple
That's a hell of a shot
stone moss
idk if i would go that far
vernal anchor
Was what me?
silver hornet
Someone said "ASh 12 poop" and then it got deleted
vernal anchor
No because I like to let people advertise that they're wrong on their own
muted grail
hey so i like to keep keys in my keytool, if i go into a raid with a fid keys and die instantly, will it become no fid?

If you take any found in raid item back into a raid, it will always lose found in raid

as soon as u go into a raid they wont be fir regardless of death

In the photo I have provided. Both guns I acquired in a raid AND extracted with while achieving Survived.
The Left was on Reserve, Taken off a Player skav. The AK-74
While the one on the right, the M1A was found on a PMC in woods.
Why does the ReapIR not have FIR?
I feel like it might be worth mentioning I have not taken either (or parts of) into a raid since extracting with them.
desert hull
@high hawk anything a players takes into a raid is not FiR
FiR means it spawned in that Raid
high hawk
So a player, not on my squad, that i have never seen before in my tarkov carrer brings in a 
700,000 optic, I kill em, and I get that puppy out, and I get no dice... π¦ I like the FIR but this is a little much isnt it?

Is it possible that I'm playing too slow/careful, seems that I always get killed when I'm hiding in a bush or creeping around

Play patient and play confident
that helped me way too much
dont keep thinking ''If I cross this field i'll get sniped'' Just do it
Unless you are actually getting shot ofcourse
In a nutshell: Play carefull but include risk sometimes
it will get you tha dank loot

I don't think people deliberately avoid head shots

maybe they just didnt aim for your head?

No way, Zhuk repairs like shit, its pretty much 1-2 times use. Slick repairs very well
ocean crane
didn't know about the repairs but use zhuk if you are going labs since it's got more protection
silver hornet
Only advantage a Zhuk has over a Slick is the stomach protection
ocean crane
the stomach i think is the most important besides thorax and head since it limits your time in raid a lot

any idea when the shitty desync issues will be fixed?
two of us shot people 3 feet away killed one but apparently only each got 10 shots on target despite using BT against level 5-6 armor
bold kernel
bt was the cheap bullet I thought
quartz pendant
BT is mid tier
fact is that the game's desync issues are the best in the industry
bold kernel
so class 3-4
quartz pendant
class 3-5 to an extent
it can pen class 5 in 5-9 shots not counting fragments
but yeah pretty odd that even with me getting in some cases almost all my shots on target including in kill feed the person does not die and just escapes
bold kernel
so sounds fine... you wounded them... small chance bullet is reduced to 1 dmg n durability... not to mention bullet spread...
quartz pendant
killed one of them hit another quite a lot but as per usual the game doesn't always count shots
two times in a row today though those two were the only times on both of our ends
but eh the game is in a great state there is no such thing as poor hitreg or desync issues that the shit devs have no intention of working on
bold kernel
I top down shot a penis helm with snb twice and a the guy walked away. only two durability removed.... honestly your case seems the norm... feel free to re recreate and report it as a bug... feels bad thou for most part...
quartz pendant
I wish they took the bugs seriously but they take is as seriously as cheating which is not serious at all
for now I'll just not paly until tomorrow hopefully the desync will be fine though I do doubt it
bold kernel
considering matching timesnused to be twenty minutes plus... I think they're doing fine developing.
quartz pendant
it still is 20 minutes plus in some cases
we have to requeue every other match after waiting for 5 to 10 minutes
bold kernel
fringe cases always exist... but I haven't had it once so up to those regions to pump reports for devs
quartz pendant
no other game has the same issue for me. I do like the game but it's such wasted potential in my eyes with this dev team and company as a whole so I've just been telling people who are interested to hold off
my aim doesn't seem to suffer in aim training or in other games at all in any similar way to this hence why I can easily chalk it up to desync
bold kernel
such is pre-release games... good thing opening game states it's actively in development and probably shouldn't be expected to match anything else using entirely different development and engines... Leaving us free to report and contribute to it's changes...
quartz pendant
eh I suppose though I have yet to ever see a game that charges potentially $150 or so with EOD be in this state sure noone forces a person to buy it but the marketing strategy is set in a way that will end with someone buying more expensive editions just like with any other product
bold kernel
kinda a reach but sure.

Riddler where are you from?
vernal pond
@quartz pendant You seem very uneducated on how tarkov is developing at the moment. The devs want nothing more than to dedicate all of their very small amount of 100 or so staff towards developing the game, fixing it and being done with it, but currently around 60% or so of their staff and resources are constantly being used to deal with hackers.
There's hundreds of bugs, submit them via a bug report if you really care about helping developers actually develop the game. You signed up for an early access beta and that's what you're getting..
viral ibex
how good is bt ammo?
silver hornet
BT is the best budget 5.45 ammo for midgame @viral ibex
quartz pendant
@vernal pond You may say that the devs are fixing and developing the game but those issues have been around for a long time. They are also not banning hackers realistically since said hackers can just repurchase accounts at that point BSG can just keep making profit at the expense of everyone else which is what they seem to be doing now in my eyes. Also the bug reports and general reports come back with an automated message saying how they are aware and are working on it yet no change or result.
vernal pond
They are banning hackers? Yes its hard to remove all hackers, its not as simple as a button click.
Do you even see the updates they post to you about dealing with hackers?
quartz pendant
I've only started last wipe but I've still seen and experienced bugs from there that are affecting the game like weapons not firing fully auto mid gunfight briefly, sprint animations being bugged with players stopping out of nowhere mid sprint
silver hornet
"REEEE NIKITA BAN CHEATERS"
"ok I press cheater ban button game is fine :))"
quartz pendant
They are posting updates with no results
vernal pond
Lol, not saying they arenβt there but iβve never had those bugs.
NO RESULTS?
So hang on
Wait a sec
Youβre saying, if they just didnβt ban any hackers, game would be same as it is now? No diff?
quartz pendant
Labs has seen tons of hackers I can't say before last wipe but last wipe people mentioned that labs was full of them and to this day and wipe it's still full of them
I mean all that hackers are doing is repurchasing accounts how did banning their accounts fix anything in the first place?
quartz pendant
Nevermind the new hacks that are being put out on YouTube that battleeye cannot detect yet
vernal pond
Iβve gone labs and it has plenty of hackers
silver hornet
My one gripe with BSG and their handling of cheaters is the ping limits
vernal pond
But they are trying to do something about it.
quartz pendant
I like the game 800+ hours but those are issues they don't seem to want to fix
silver hornet
Almost everyone playing in Latin America can't play the game now.
quartz pendant
I'm about to try and see if desync is still shafting me
silver hornet
But I'm willing to bet that if it weren't for cheaters, we might have had the Customs expansion at this point.
earnest crag
how can you tell someones cheating though
vernal pond
Seems like you have all the answers to just magically fix hackers?
quartz pendant
Depends you can't always
But them hearing you despite you making no noise, speed running, flying, invisibility are good ways to know
silver hornet
@earnest crag Speedhackers, people shooting (or at least trying) players through walls and doors despite them not having moved for ages/not made a noise
earnest crag
lol
quartz pendant
No I don't but what they are doing clearly isn't doing anything
quartz pendant
All it does is give them more profit since nothing stops hackers from purchasing new accounts
vernal pond
Im not saying its 100 percent effective
But you playing out like they just do nothing for the game is just dillusion.
Like 0%
quartz pendant
Me neither but what I'm saying Is that it's not really making a difference. Labs is full of hackers for two wipes if not more now
It's pretty much nothing
vernal pond
I donβt know how you monitor all games, all players, all hackers, all non hackers and compare those statistics to get your above answer.
Youβre painting extremely technical data into broad brush strokes.
Personally labs is definitely hacker territory. Its bad. I do have a bit of faith that they will allow me to get back there though.
Meanwhile while im waiting, Iβll continue to do my part, to support the game, help the devs and so forth. Yeah?
Yeah.
earnest crag
theres never gonna be a silver bullet for cheating, i feel like they should just prune hackers and make it so they can only queue against eachother
now that would be funny haha
quartz pendant
I don't monitor all games. The complaints from the forums are enough there and the multiple bugs that have been around for months now. If they really are taking feedback seriously then color me surprised because the state of the game suggests otherwise
earnest crag
is it really that bad? most streamers i watch acknowledge the cheating but arent that upset about it
quartz pendant
There is also the FOV bug at 75 FOV that hasn't been fixed yet
earnest crag
what are some bugs btw
quartz pendant
There are a few rants here and there but they can't do much about it
silver hornet
@earnest crag Cheaters are really bad on labs, especially if you're on EU servers.
earnest crag
i think the games pretty healthy if veteran players are able to reach 40+ within weeks of the wipe
i see
quartz pendant
FOV bug, gun stops firing fully auto mid gunfight are two that are pretty big imo
vernal pond
the games fine
It's skyrocketed in player count which they didn't expect for a beta
they have 100 people
earnest crag
lol frost i thought that was just me
vernal pond
and thousands of issues to deal with
earnest crag
and some unlucky input delay
quartz pendant
Nah it happens nevermind the desync
You can shoot someone have them scream with blood splattering the walls but the shot won't count
silver hornet
The desync's been really bad because of lots of people playing, and I think the packet encryption had something to do with it
quartz pendant
I remember Pestiley did a video where he tested desync/hit reg and found some of his shots not count against a stationary player
vernal pond
There's the community that understands how hard it is developing a game, especially when you aren't EA.. and there's the other side of the community that expect everything polished 3 years max, release game, move on.
quartz pendant
It was a sniper rifle I believe?
earnest crag
i died to a glitched scav today
quartz pendant
Or marksman
silver hornet
Yeah you'll find those on the occasion
earnest crag
i have the clip if u guys wanna see
quartz pendant
I've got around 800-900 hours of the game and I can very confidently tell people that it should be avoided in its current state which they listened to thankfully
It's not that the game is horrible in every way I like the concept and the idea and the general gameplay but as it stands it's too buggy for something that has been out and been in development for as long as it has
ocean crane
you try making this game yourself
quartz pendant
Have a single developer try to make it themselves see how well that will turn out
silver hornet
You don't need to be a game dev to realize that this game has problems
quartz pendant
I'm not a million dollar company that has people that specialise in a variety of different parts that come in to a game unlike BSG. They can fix bugs but they don't have any intent to do so.
granite steppe
how does one play the video game
quartz pendant
Why else is the FOV bug still around?, desync being such a major issue? Guns deciding to not fire fully auto mid gunfight? Like I said I like the game but it's fucked in a lot of ways
@granite steppe pray to Nikita that desync doesn't shaft you and shoot I guess
granite steppe
i just started and i have not a clue as to how to play the video game
earnest crag
dude said nikita π
wooden dawn
whatre the best ways to kill scavs as a PMC? its not that theyre too too much of a threat, but i would like to know the quickest ways to get rid of them so i dont draw attraction overtime
earnest crag
i would not think an EFT player would know who nikita is
just head tap them tyler
thats the quickest way
wooden dawn
okay so just click heads like its rust or csgo or siege got it
earnest crag
ya, less shooting
wooden dawn
cause like i can do that LMAO
earnest crag
usually they stop moving after they do a path or wahtever so it should be easy
even when theyre aggroed
earnest crag
lol pretty decent
wooden dawn
so say like 100 meters?
earnest crag
cant give you an estimate but
pretty accurate
about i guess
most likely wont 1 shot unless theyre already low but
wooden dawn
alright because i think ima bring the shotgun out next as my PMC
earnest crag
you can land headshots from a safe distance
you dont have to be right up in their face lol
wooden dawn
alright deal
now how about some interchange strats so i can level up the hideout quicker lmfao
earnest crag
im pretty new to the game myself and struggling with that
with interchange i just see people rush in and play it slow in high traffic areas
so like, the malls
wooden dawn
yeah im about 2 days old in the game and no other game has prepared me to be nearly as good at this game as ive seen others play it so it frightens me to play any map besides woods 24/7
wooden dawn
yeah you heard me LMAO
wooden dawn
i dont know any map so im starting with woods because it seems to be the easiest to memorize
wooden dawn
the map itself is easy to memorize, like where extracts are, minimal buildings so dont have to remember whats in what
earnest crag
small, landmarks
wooden dawn
i like customs a lot too
just too many buildings
makes me nervous to enter one lmfao
dont wanna get shot in the back by some dude camping a room
earnest crag
mhm i feel you, but when you get the quests where you have to get an item from dorms
ur gonna have some fun haha...
i soloed those, idk how
usually always gonna be someone in there
wooden dawn
yeah exactly
oh yeah
as a drop
i got a phased array element
and it seems to be worth quite a bit to dealers so whats the deal with it?
earnest crag
cause its a rare drop
youre probably better off keeping it and selling it on the flea, or keeping it for an upgrade later
wooden dawn
is it useful to me or is it something im supposed to sell to the dealers?
wooden dawn
i see i need it for solar power
but tbh im jus tryna get a shooting range so i can truly learn recoil
earnest crag
i wanted to build that too but i was like
maybe i should work on something else first LOL
recoil isnt something you should really worry about, spraying is pretty accurate i feel
wooden dawn
nah from what ive seen, the spray doesnt have a pattern
and single fire isnt your friend
if you continuously single fire
your aim will constantly recoil up
but if you aim forward and automatic fire with no mouse movement
itll have little recoil but the spread is all random
earnest crag
well of course it doesnt have a pattern but usually its nothing too crazy
wooden dawn
until you master your gun then get the best attachments
then its like a laser beam
yeah im used to games that do have a pattern
so im constantly trying to re center it mid aim
and it throws me off big time
mossy valve
last wipe was my first wipe but i ignored quests for a long time and just learned maps, now im just shit at shooting players XD and still stuck on the first quests since i just started this wipe today lol

Only quests you can do as Scavs are getting items
