@bright stream what does it say when you try to put it on
@bold kernel there is no such thing
LEDXs only spawn behind very expensive keys on shoreline or interchange, or in labs
slot not empty
mandibles take the same slot then
I assume you can't have face shield AND side armor
Big sad
so both are only good for pistols/some SMGs/shotguns
and maybe keeping a class 3 rated bullet from 1 tapping your face if it reduces the damage enough but thats unikely
the sides are class 3, the mandibles are 2.
I'd use the faceshield over the mandibles just because its way cheaper iirc
oh i c, then thats a tiny bit better
still really only good for the same weapons though
But it got fucking DOMED right in the centre. so I either run the fast or the airframe with a big crack in the middle
idk its an annoying glitch
the weapon I'm modding doesn't take more space than it would be modding it
the gun will clearly have enough space and it will still give that message
I've even had it happen with 2 empty slots on each side of the gun
any sherpas wanna help with some beginner tasks?
anyone down to play/help me out
that meant for me lol
you and the guy above you
this is for beginner assistance... im asking for assistance lol@silver hornet
"Help me out" isn't very descriptive at all
solos is a straight struggle
anyone wanna help with some tasks? im new to the wipe but im a decent player
Anyone able to help me get a LEDx for my hideout medstation lvl3?
I'm a very new player to the game, and only have about 3 hours of general experience. Is anyone able to help out and really give a thorough explanation on how to play good? (or at least show the basics of tarkov)
I'd recommend checking out Pestily's vids, he has more than enough guides and walkthroughs that explain what and why he's doing stuff. @silk sentinel
Thanks man, appreciate the tip.
any tips on punisher part 4? kill 10 scavs in woods with 12 gauge shotgun and 10 pmcs on shoreline with scav vest
@viral wind what specific tips are you looking for?
for shotgun kills, go to Scav house and the sawmill
for PMC kills, just hang around the hotspots that aren't resort
Power station, gas station, etc
hm ok
im just wondering how to get pmc kills on shoreline since i dont know the map too well
@viral wind stick to the outskirts of the map and you tend to learn them faster
also would reccomend going in offline mode and checking out the map. It would also be a good idea to pull up the map on your phone to see the spawns and get to plan your route
i know the map and extracts, i just don't really run into players
i guess ill just camp out at powerstation and gas station
So what you're saying is, free M4's?
pretty much also try to watch out for mosin guys
whats a good spot to hang around gas station?
alright thanks
ive gotten a lot of mosin kills on scavs and pmcs running on the beach
ive gotten killed on the beach trying to do 'fishing gear' quest for peacekeeper
i still haven't completed that one yet
maybe ill just pay it forward and camp that boat...
that one sucks for sure
but i would reccomend doing that one at the end of the raid depending on where you spawn
most people at the end of the raid are extracting and are no where near there. Or if you get the blue fence spawn you can run and do it right away
anyone trying to run some raids? this is first wipe lvl 7 just trying to learn and level up to 10
anyone tryna help me
On what
Anyone able to help me get going in the game, play a few games with me and explain the basics?
should i spend most of my money on the hideout or just for some gear to go for runs?
hideout so u can craft items for quests and stuff
Theyโve been adding lots of crafts in hideout for quests which is awesome e
ty for the tip
is there a way to have the insurance msg be the latest like it was last patches ?
i missed on a couple of them because i have to scroll up to see them,
I have a question - I think I've experienced heavy d'syncs few times.
On few occasions I heard shots very close to me, in open space, but I never managed to spot the players, even tho the gun fight continued (although whenever it occured I never got shot myself).
Also few times I managed to get to extract point, it was green on my list, not one-off, when I approached the extract point the countdown began, but I stayed on the map. I've tried to stay there bit longer, approached the extract few more times - each time the countdown began - but eventually I had to move to another extract point.
wdyt guys?
yes, ruaf ๐
Itโs been bugged like that for a while if it doesnโt work just go trailer park extract
thank you sir!
Ruaf is. fun
Sometimes it is extract camp city
Got camped by a bush wookie scav doing that
when you do barter trades does it take the non-found in raid items first?
i keep on dying behind walls>
people might as well be net limiting because they can basically just shoot you when ur not even in cover
My scav spawned with a Belt rig, this bad boy can fit so much stuff
Damn son, nice
I saw that, made the executive decision to just run straight to crossroad exfil ๐
I can fix some of my stash issues just by having that
Plus the berkut and the ak105 are nice
Got lucky and found a machinery key and behold, it's just what i need for next quest
I'm thinking going half naked, just with machinery key in my ( safe ) pocket and a pistol
Night raids are decent for that quest since scavs are less of a problem in the open area
That's a good point
Btw i remember there's a barter i can do with 2 scav knives
A-2000 or whatever
but i can't find it
There is 4 black-handled knvies for a pistol
and 8 brown-handled knives for an mp5
Oh must be peacekeeper then, thanks
I was selling those knives to fence, probably would have been better to trade for a throwaway pistol for raids
You need 5 found-in-raid of the brown-handled ones for a quest, but otherwise I just hold onto them to sell to jager
The truck for the pocket watch is in construction area right?
Yep it's the orange tanker
Ok, i'm trying a raid at 20:00 time, should be low light, i'll wait for the PVP to die down and make my move
Brought snacks and refreshments to wait too lol
Something I always forget to do on my raids
It's not always easy to find them in raid
10 minutes should be plenty, should be out before player scavs even enter the equation
Anyone able to help me get going in the game, play a few games with me and explain the basics?
Someone is using a highpowered rifle i've never heard before in this raid, leaves like a long lasting echo
LF1 to hit me so I can levels up stress endurance, will pay with bitcoin ๐
Someone is walking near my bush, fuckoff this is my hiding spot
Could be an M700 maybe? theyre pretty loud
maaaan it a flawless plan up until that point
even dropped a shotty scav on my way there
Just take your time, shoot em in the head, you aren't gonna lose much if you die
Unlucky, maybe next time ๐
still got some xp anyway
Lots of pvp in that area tho, had to dodge a player armored head to toe
he heard me drop the scav and went into a bush, had to go all the way around him
Any way to improve the stability of my game half the the time I die to lagging players shuffling across the floor and Ai that are desynced
You could select specific server you want to go in, with the lowest pings
from the game launcher
Hello is there any form of trial for Tarkov? I've been watching Pestily play and I was wondering if there was a way to demo the game.
@whole cape Only way is if someone who has a trial key gives you one. Some streamers give keys out occasionaly.
Gotcha, thanks for the heads up mate! @idle dagger
wonna buy this game but i have a 1060 6gb 16gb of ram and an i5-4570 can i run on low settings 60 fps?
So im at Chemical part 4, it gives me the option to help skier, therapist, or prapor. Prapor gives you 200k rubles for helping him, will this fuck me over in the future or no?
I saw a lot of things saying skier is the only one that sells anything extra (the helmet).. the others are just money/rep
i think its best to give it to skier cos if u dont i think he makes u pay him a lot of money
Anyone willing to help a beginner learn the basics of this game?!
is the glass in kiba bullet proof?
nope
and killa will most certainly melt you through both sides of the glass on the corner if he catches the angle
Anyone wanna help me get money I'm really new only about 2 hours on the game
Scav runs are risk free ways to get money, you spawn with some equipment, you can literally walk to the exit with it, grab a few stuff on the way, sell and repeat.
But I dont know where the exits are lol
I started on customs, playing offline just to familiarize with the map
Its says it's insane difficulty am I going to get killed of spawn
That happens sometimes lol but in any map
so i put a fp-100 in my air filtering unit and the video i was watching about it said i get 20hours of use time but it only gives me 5 mins any idea why?
@viscid rose remember to try offline first, if you don't know where the exits are in online you'll never survive long enough to figure it out
Found a random ak mag in a closet in customs, it's full of igolnik
I can't even buy BT ammo at this point in the game ๐
can someone explain to me how this server works
Which server?
Can anyone help me with at least one of these challenges?
and the forums told me to come here for help
You just bought the game basically
Ok basically what you wanna do now is go through each "dealer" and middle mouse click every item marked ?????
same with your stash in "character"
Oh good, that solves a few things
cant put anything into practice
I also bought the game recently after watching for a while
What i did is pick a map, customs, went offline in it a bit to figure out exfils and routes
It's a slow process
you EU?
yeah im eu
I'm just starting to have some real progress now
i get its slow and i dont mind that i just want someone to play with and maybe we could help each other
i'll help if you want i have been playing every wipe except 1 so far lol
If you really have 0 you can also reset to starting situation ( unless you did some quests, in which case fuck that
just bough the game today have like 3 hours maybe
nah i have some pistols but i haven done any of the tasks just accepted them
lol man you are in for a world of pain my friend, it is a slow process
i know but im kinda hyped
i will help you i am sick of trying my quests today
As long as you don't get demoralized it's fine
nah i just wanna play i get that dying is part of it
I'm starting now to have good raids with kills and nice loot on customs after what 10 hours maybe
dude i took 800k loadout on shoreline and got that swamp spawn like 10m away from another PMC and died within 10s of the raid it is what it is
oof
@keen needle i'll sit in one of the 2 man squad channels below then join whenever you feel like
Do you have standard edition or over?
ok
@viscid rose you're new too do you wanna join in?
standard
@blazing wigeon yes please
if i play more ill see if i want to upgrade
good choice man
I need to do that pocket watch quest now
Something keeps happening as i'm at the truck
so the pocket watch quest, here is my tip to you
it takes time for people to get there right, its usually traversed at certain points in the round
@viscid rose join 3 man squad 15
if you start across the river, you don't want to immediately run there, and if you start on the other side, you don't want to be there about 10 minutes into the raid
Oh i have a specific strat in mind, spawn in, hide in a bush for 10 minutes, go there before player scavs spawn, but PMC already did their thing
i wouldn't focus too hard on doing it, just play, and if you are in the area try to grab it
@blazing wigeon just loading discord on pc
Look inside this mag i found in customs
new player looking some tips anyone looking to play just dm me ๐
@blazing wigeon ToniBonboni
hey guys, am I the only one that hasn't been able to buy BP (5.45) ammo recently from prapor?
as soon as it refills, it goes instantly out of stock
Sounds about right, global stock is annoying
I wish prapor would sell me BP
ty bear
Do i need the PSU for anything early game? it's pretty big to keep
when ur wondering about an item usefulness, check it on the wiki
the psu is needed for bitcoin farms and gen lvl 3, that's a long stretch away from early-game
Quick question, if i don't heal from terapist after raid, get in the next raid with a grizzly, do i get sweet sweet xp from healing like that?
You will get xp healing yourself, you will just be very vulnerable while healing
healing yourself in lobby works aswell you dont need to do it in raid
True
I got a question, after a wipe, do I keep the presets I made?
They kept them this time
Ok, thanks
So I might've made a mistake. I loaded in with the gun i got first on my character and lost it right away and only have pistols. What should I do? Just run scav runs and try to get out ?
Cause now i only have pistols
I was in the same situation and thatโs what I did
Ran a few scav runs, and got some decent guns and other equipment
@fallow cobalt is it your first wipe
Not anymore but it was
if you want i can help you starting off? in 3 man 15 below if you want to join @fallow cobalt
Ok one sec
no rush
I fucking hate when i spawn as a scav in the middle of a hot situation, don't have time to check my fire selector and ofc it's on single fire everytime
I always switch it when I spawn
Yeah i should have checked, but instantly spawned with people around
not scav, players
I think it defaults to single on most guns
Im looking for 1 of them
well scav run might just give you one at spawn
like it gave me free FiR flash drives
Think i just got fucked by a boss scav at customs gas station ๐ฆ
Anyone got any tips for leveling up Jaegers rep? Trying to go from rank 1 to 2 for that holodilnik case
besides just questing of course. I keep getting hung up on his quests and need inventory space now
Just died on a raid because my system decided to have a stroke and give me 1 FPS and 200 ping
Amazing
You got tarkoved
whats the best way to find glukhar
@candid wyvern Do his quests...
see the message immediately under my first @stone moss
Yeah, I read it and I don't know how you plan to raise your rep w/o doing the quests, since that is how you gain rep.
LMAO thats why I am asking
Ok... in other words... what I am saying... is you can't
It sucks but you will have to just do the quests if you want rep.
yeah his quests are insane
I was hoping there was some kind of trading shenanigans I could do to rep him up real quick
hey im going for labs, right side is working?
who has the drops rn??
your m... I mean noone @viral ibex : D
the event ended : (
wadaya mean ?
you know when you buy stuff from traders
i need to drag roubles from my stash
to them
to buy
well - your inventory is showing up on every trader - dont know about dragging roubles
i still don't get your pain- how was it prior to that ?
it is
it wasnt like this
Emercom is the exist closest to Oli with the road leading to the two tents and truck
it has the tents and trucks around it
i changed pc and now its like this
oh ok. someone labeled it Entercom on the map
emercon, entercom, whatever works for you tbh
on interchange? - yes
well the dangerour route it is then
i need help with the early missions
what missions
delivery from the past, extornist and operation aquarius
im on part 2 of delivery from the past rn
Is private clinic the one that gives you the thicc case
hello, so this game is in beta correct? I'm from North Africa, any servers close by?
jus getting back into tarkov any sherpas tryna help me get back into rhythm literally freshly back
!sherpahub
ok so im really fcking confused
i just killed a scav
on interchange
he had a kirasa and a penis helmet
but in his backpack he had 2 marked keys it was a bot scav not player
Do ai scavs just know you are close when in x meter proximity? i was hidden in a trailer since start of raid, with my pistol, just waiting, ai scav purposefully comes inside screaming bloody murder and i have to drop him
this is what he had + a pom juive
that's a nice scav
not even player at least i dont think he was cause he was standing still while shooting me
and screamin
and a saiga
scavs know when you are looking at them within a certain distance
should i keep the keys or sell em
maybe he was like in an angle of the door where u were looking at him?
No, he came from the left, 90ยฐ from where i was pointing ๐ฆ
jus getting back into tarkov any sherpas tryna help me get back into rhythm literally freshly back
yuh
speaking of scav knowing you are looking at them, is it just looking or have to be ADS for them to know
For the pocket watch quest, can i even complete it if i run through after i get the watch?
yes
Any SCRUBS wanna play with a chad? (like myself)
im intimidated
:0
this game so scury
Making that money today!~
any chads want to teach an ol' dog like myself how to Tarkov?
Could use someone to help me get started if possible?
I'm stuck on "awaiting session start" for 10 minutes
do i force shutdown the program or what
is 7.62x51mm Ultra Nosler good and how much does it cost?
anyone with office 112 west key willing to help me out with a quest?
@cloud night never wait that long. two minutes at max, then alt+f4.
@bold kernel Ultra Nosler is only good for leg meta, it has garbage armor pen
Good to know
so i shot 8 rounds, and 9 of them hit lmfao
if you have a ping of 155 or over then youll get kicked from the game
What am I missing for Gunsmith part 1
Anyone knwo any traading servers?
@jagged wedge you need to unload the ammo inside, take our the 6 round mag, unload it and put it back in
@jagged wedge youโre missing the muzzle attachment
I canโt remember what itโs called sorry
But the wiki has a rlly good page on it
so goddamned tired of trying to get these stupid usbs. AI spawn with one and in the middle of a firefight my fucking razer synapse crashes and I got from 400 dpi to 2400
@jagged wedge here is the attachment
If you have the flea market Iโd recommend getting it from there as itโs rlly cheap (I think 12k from memory). Anyway the build otherwise looks fine. Hope this helped
I'm lvl 11 but I cant win a firefight with real players to save my life. Have been playing on customs is this the best map to start with?
Any tips on recoil control?
good attachments
Is it normal to be shot point blank, and you can see it's pointblank because the muzzleflash is right 1m from you, but there's no player there at all?
Helping new players learn the game DM me if interested.
@cloud night im not entirely sure, but telepathic scavs are common. I think all that is required is to have them change from 'passive' to 'active' by engaging a player at least once, and then are in a state where they become telepathic to any others as well.
can someone help me get the jagger quest done please
the introduction
Yeah I can guide you
okay sweet ty
Can't say I have seen that particular issue today.
anyone have luck getting the oli logistics key
who can help me get started im lvl 1
I can join up with you @echo iris
@stone moss bet which room?
Buddy and me also need help with Jeager letter on Woods. Been getting clapped hard trying for it. Tried pistol runs at night, geared runs during the day, hide in a bush til 10 minutes left. Brutal.
We're not super new, but struggling with a few of these tasks. NA - East
Im fairly new, level 7/8 this wipe, tryna get a few of the first quests done//a few successful raids, anyone around to help? from EU if that makes a difference.
woopsy sorry, thought it was more of a begginer thing
Are they any lv 1 traders you can get a red dot for AK for?
Is having a standard account like way harder now with the flea market change?
You can't get a red dot for AK from a ll1 traders. But you can get the cobra EKP-8-02 reflex which can be used as long as you got a side mount thing on the AK @meager stump
Im guessing you cant get a side mount from ll1 traders?
Any AK that got the side line knob thing can be mounted directly with the reflex
Tyler, no it's not harder for standard as it is for EOD editions, you die it don't count as found in raid, you must survive either way
Are they any lv 1 traders you can get a red dot for AK for?
@meager stump unless they changed it you can get a railed gas tube from skier (ultimak) and the burris fast fire from peacekeeper. you can't have a foregrip at the same time though
thank you @vital mortar
lfg to level back up... level 6 started fresha few days ago. know a good amount just trying to get back up in rank
i more mean that eod have access to lvl 4 traders and dont have to pay the rediculous prices for higher end items that i do on the flea market
im new and looking for help in raids
Can someone help me with interchange???
Define "help"
carry me in a raid/ join me and help with raids
@fair rain eod don't have acces to lvl 4 traders, they have enough rep to get to ll2, getting higher would require questing like everyone else
can someone carry me in a raid im lvl 4 na
i mean as you don't have to do quest and just sell and lvl up to get to lvl 2
ah got you
i just need a teammate and ive asked in LFG multiple times and no response
@vital mortar want to do a raid?
also ur name is creative
Nah I'm in EU so most likely get kicked off and heading off now @tawdry lily
ok see ya
do you get keep a tremor when a painkiller is used
i dont know but good question
search it on the internet
anyone looking to help in raids I know the basics just still sorta new
I've hit a bit of a slump and i'm broke, any way to rack up some rubles real quick? (level 13)
abuse scav runs
Is there any way to get the traders to work properly? Iโm sick of restarting my game after almost every raid
why when im in a group and we matchmaking and it randomly disbands
i have no answer to a message(email about my account) i sent it 7days ago, is it normal?
anyone want to help me finish delivery from the past quest?
I just need a bit of help in general if anyone is up vc 2
Relatable
jus getting back into tarkov any sherpas around to help me get back into the rhythm
LFG factory #3
anyone assist for customs kill 5 scavs?
why do you need help with killing scavs
pro tip - if you have a mission to kill scavs and you're struggling
you can always take a scav run and shot one for free
i'm a newb as well, but lately i've been practicing with taking out scavs around old gas station whenever i spawn there
takes a bit of preparation - you need to mentally map all of them, and align your first shots, but it's definitely doable and can yield decent drops
I'm having a hard time finding the m14 ultimak rail for gunsmith part 15. any ideas?
gunsmith 15 and you still need advice from beginners-assistance, lol? x)
jus getting back into tarkov any sherpas around to help me get back into the rhythm
@pure talon still pretty new sorry ๐ฆ
i need to stop playing like a rat, and start to CHAD up
gotta get better at PVP, bot the best at gunfights atm
@pliant spear have you tried the market?
@delicate wren no sir, do not leave the way of the rat
@pure talon i cant even find the entry for the item
im at the point where i need to start using the stuff in my stash because its almost full lmao
im just really bad at long range fights, which isnt good
Sell it! Its all about the ROUBLES
i did just sell one of my AKs
+1
I'm still newb, but I've been there. There's no point in stashing all that gear if you can't use it. Sell it.
When you need it you'll be able to buy it back.
I came with the idea of having two pet weapons I upgrade whenever i have to opportunity to do so, but otherwise I'll stick to my main cheap guns and I sell everything else.
Do player-scavs randomly put out voicelines when near/engaged by PMCs?
If I'm playing a scav and I aim at a player, get shot at, shoot at a player etc : will my character be screaming Russian things that I can't hear on my client? In the same way as when you hit barbed wire you sometimes scream but can't hear it on your own client?
just sold a few of my rigs, i had a whole bunch just sitting there with a few things
man i really like this game
what do you have?
for rigs?
guns
lemme try and screenshot
for context, im lvl 3 and ive had the game for 3 days
also have a PM and a P226 in a backpack
sorry for being brutal, but you can sell these right off
and buy new guns?
i like to use mosins for naked runs to snipe out scavs
ill be honest, outside of the scav runs, ive only really touched 2 of them
should i sell the vepr hunter?
let me put it that way..
you know that any of these guns are worth less than optics or silencer you'd like to put on it, right?
i do know they dont come cheap
good gun is a composition of mods
other than the ADAR, which are worth keeping?
because i really like that one so ill probably keep it
to put it into a context - stock sa-58 costs around 130k from fence
aks you have, you can buy from fence for around 50-60k
and aks are really easy to get
prapor sells akm for three cans
there's nothing wrong with these guns, you can use them with proper ammo and have a lot of fun with it
proper ammo: https://kokarn.github.io/tarkov-tools/
Visualization of all ammo types in Escape from Tarkov
but if you sell all of them - except for adar - you can get new one within one or two scav runs
yeah, i usually end up with 1 AK at least every scav run
best map to make money on?
labs if you can make it
do u think im good enough to run labs mate
how could i know?
if youre asking this question - probably not ๐
you can try to farm raiders, but its high traffic
factory is a coin flip
what is the different between infantry and not infantry mosin
scope mount
dang
Why do scavs sometimes shoot at me randomly during my scav runs? Especially on factory.. I walk near a bunch of scavs and suddenly one of them randomly turns around and shoots me in the head
players
someone took over a scav and killed you
take a closer look on how the scav is behaving
Oh damn. So any scav around me could be taken over by a player in any moment?
@molten sable No. Scavs are not taken over by players. They spawn separately.
Well, I didn't aim at the scav nor shoot at him yet he turned around and tapped me in the head
were you a PMC?
Nope
did you shoot another scav that raid?
Nope, didn't shoot anyone I was sneaking around, I had just spawned
And I'm 100% sure it was a scav
I just thought it was a normal scav because of his movement but i might've been wrong
if you didnt shoot another scav that raid and he shot you randomly then it was a player
damn what was the players name
you dont get to see the name if they are a scav
so the survivalist path - tough guy, task
I cannot heal
but I can die? or no?
wiki says i can die
and that outofraid healing doesnt count and doesnt void task
so in theory i can just kill one or two a raid but die each time and come back and kill the rest or no?
multiple questions here plez help'
Which boss can spawn at customs gas station?
@cloud night reshala
@bitter radish yes you can just kill a few each run as long as you dont use any meds
So, trying to do factory part of delivery from the past, any tips?
I found a gzhel in a scav run earlier, used it just now in a pmc run, fucking love it, puny ass scav player with a toz couldn't do shit to me point blank
3 whole dmg to armor lol
Hey is anyone interested in mentoring/teaching me everything about this game. If so PM me I would really appreciate it greatly
anyone has jeager level 3 ? i need this 34mm one piece magmount made by I-E-A Mil Optics
ok im lvl 7 with 1.4 million roubles what do yall recommend i get once i unlock flea market
mag case and ammo case probably
if you got therapist level high enough then lucky scav junk box i think its level 13
1.2m
ok ok ty
they save a ton of space
and eventually if you got the money weapons case and med case and all type of case are really useful
I'm not sure if i should just start getting rid of all my random matches, cigarettes and little shit items, i know they are useful for barters and hideout stuff at some point, but gooddamn they clutter my stash
you cant get the lucky scav junkbox ?
i'm maybe 15h into the game maybe
that takes 100 dogtags?
hell i'll need a dogtag case just to have the inventory space for that
why did they change the shit from a thicc case to a icase
๐คทโโ๏ธ
well its easier to just buy the scav box
How much is it? don't have access to the flea
1.2m
its not on flea
it will be therapist level 2
you need enought quest done ( which isnt much ) and level 13
Ok i'll try to find her damn gas analizers
Hey is anyone interested in mentoring/teaching me everything about this game. If so PM me I would really appreciate it greatly
Can someone remind me difference between tac sport and comtacts
Does anyone know where i can find either mp-133 OR salewa?
mp133 look no further than your closest scav
salewa you can either craft it after a few hideout upgrades or medical bags
anyone have a ledx they will trade for 4 graphics cards? they have a barter up for 5 on the flea but i dont think its fair. Im willing to do 4.
ok so i am having issues with the weapons modding screens. When i pull up a weapon like the AKS-74U for instance and i go to modding, i wanted to look up preset for the gunsmith 2 quest, but the menu that used to be in the top left corner for modding or loading presets does not appear for me anymore, i do have lvl 1 workbench. any reason this is happening?
Hey guys, I am new in Escape From tarkov. I had a very good start (5 millions of roubles), I know the basics of the game but I want to go further. I started to study a little bit the difference between ammos, but the only thing is that I dont know what to look and how to say if this ammo is better than another. So what is the most important stats for a ammo ?
Armor pen and/or flesh dmg
high pen, if it has low pen then look at flesh dmg
bros i am trash at this game considering i am also new to pc. any advice or tips?
what night vision goes on TATM
@subtle meteor the TATM is a mount for the helmet, and it can take 3 separate NVG mounts
The PVS-14 Monocular, the PNV-10T, and the T-7
@worldly agate manage your expectations
@cloud night what do you mean?
Starting out is very harsh, expect to die a lot and accomplish very little at first
As long as you don't get frustrated you'll be fine
scav runs will be your friend and a good way to get gear. but don't be afraid to use (and lose) that gear on your pmc
anyone wanna run afew pmc on customs and scav on reserve? i just started this wipe lvl 1 but was a monster last 2 wipes
i need help getting this prapor task done, anyone willing to help me?
@velvet mason yes pls
which prapor task? I'm having a hell of a time getting the first one done this wipe
I need to do delivery from the past anyone EU want to join
I'm east coast US, might be close enough
I'm lookingg for shroud half mask (if you have them on your scav) - 5 BTCs
Pestily's mask (if you have them on your scav) - 5 BTCs
How often this get wiped?
I learned factory and customs which map should i learn next?
reserve, its got fat loot

Followed the guide on the EFT wiki, but it doesn't check out. Where did I slip up?
Gunsmith Pt.4
Question? How do I go about leveling up my traders?
play the game to get xp, do tasks to get xp and loyalty, sell and buy from them to increase money spent
talking to each dealer you can click tasks in the top to get the quests
Also, the quest item checkmark vanished as well.
@crystal rune its your optic
you mount the scope on the carryhandle, not the scope on the rail
Hm, it didn't see as compatible, so I added the compact
I'll check it out
Ohhh, I don't have the carryhandle. That makes sense.
That did it, appreciated @wintry glen
Hey, what do I do if I only have 5k roubles left and no weapons? On scavs I usually die within 5 minutes from spawning.
Go night, run Scav, loot, avoid contact on a map you won't be spotted on with NVGs. My personal fav is customs, running Jegar stashes.
Also, take advantage of barter trades. For instance, one Rechargeable Battery (Rec Batt.) will net you an ADAR.
How do I see what to loot in the dark though? It's just a black screen for me on night
what level are you @stable plover
3
first wipe?
yeh
NA or EU? i can show you the ropes if you want
EU
Go offline, and figure out why your screen is so dark, be it Nvidia settings, 4K HDR being to aggressive, or your monitor's color gamut.
Sometimes it is very dark, but you should be able to at least navigate ~ it could also be a sense of map knowledge. Offline mode could also help in knowing where you are ~ understanding the maps is probably the most important aspect of EFT.
sweet i am UK so that works out, if you want i can just go over fundamentals and get you started
okay i'll jump into 2 man 12 below and join whenever you feel like
would anyone give me two items for quest? i havent got the traders high level enough to unlock those. Remington RAHG 4 Inch and zenit RK-6. ill pay for them with one white keycard
DM to me if youre interested
What do I do if I only got 30k left and basically no weapons left lmao
Keep dying on scav runs
Fair enough
@quasi yew if you have absolutely nothing left you can reset your account on the website and you'll have your starting gear again.. Depending on your game version that could be a lot or not a lot
i have a emercom med key not fir if anyone wants to buy it for cheap from me
@quasi yew what maps are you running? Focus on being a rat, learn the map, learn where the loot spawns are, try not to run too often especially inside buildings (esp. interchange) learn the ""crouch walk", use it esp. when u hear enemies close by, avoid fights as much as possible, if unavoidable, employ guerrilla tactics, get the drop on them, wait for enemy to turn a corner or attack form concealment, and if all else fails, run away to fight another day. And lastly, extract with more than you came in with.
I play customs/factory
reserve best map for money
play a map like interchange or reserve or shoreline where u can actually make money
Okay okay, but how do I even make money? Like 90% of the time idk where to look or its looted and I get 1 tapped by a scav or a player
i try to make most of my money from looting scavs and selling weapons and armor i dont need
I feel that
okay, I'll try
I just tried woods 3x in a row and how killed within 2 mins...
Is room 313 and 314 in resort connected
At least I only lost 3 trash pistols
Woods is a pretty tough map lol
@quasi yew I was ready to jack the game in mate. I had 3 really good days and 4 miserable days where I got pumped and lost my shirt. I've started ratting now, using insured backpacks/pistols and going for high value loot locations like safes etc where if I loot keys/mega valuable items i can stick them in my pouch and know that I'm coming out ahead-ish. I'm starting with meds etc in my pouch and swapping them out for keys/valuables as I find them. Not sprinting around too much unless I'm VERY close to a high tier loot spawn right at the start - in which case i just go balls out to get there first and get some stuff in my pouch to pay for the run.
Basically I've given up fighting until I can afford ammo that works, and I'm enjoying the game a lot more :p
Still taking opportunistic kills when I get them, but otherwise there's been a lot of proning and holding of breath while fully kitted trios run straight past me on Customs
Yea I try not to bring much except an sks but I just dont know where to look so I just die a lot lol
Still fun,just frustrating at times
im having the hardest time finding Jaegers message for the "Introduction" task from mechanic
i know the camp is by the plane crash
but idk how to get to the plane crash .-. ive hardly played woods
@karmic dirge it's a specific pixel under the hunting blind tower in front of the plane crash. Go offline and practice finding it a couple of times. If you follow the wall to the mountain
You will find it more often than not
oh okay, thanks
@quasi yew Have a whip around in offline mode a few times with PVE turned off mate
You'll have maps like customs down in no time.
Yea im starting to get the jist of the land, tho not 100% yet lmao
pie you NA or EU? im also a newb so if you needed a m8 to die with just dm ๐
dumb question but i just built the shooting range, how do i actually use it?
you can walk around your hideout
and if you click on the bottom on the screen on "character" it actually overlays
i mean, how do i actually walk around?
on the top there is an Enter option
oh my god
click on it
what r good guns for early game?
before level 10 or after level 10?
best things to use early game is probbably mosin or sks if you find the bullets
It is going to be more about what you are aiming at and what ammo you are using...
the aksu from prapor level 1 is coming with 1 30 round magazine of bp bullets attached
well i aim at the person and put a full clip into them and they dont die
if you like to play aks I recommend buying like 5 aksu, taking out the mags, dismantling them and then reselling them
But are you aiming at the head, face, legs, body ,etc..
that way you will spent around 8k on a full mag of BP 5.45x39 wich is cheaper then the fleamarket
head/body
guns in this game are not important, however ammo is
also how do i reduce swaying?
head shot is pretty much guaranteed kill. If they have helmet or body armor you may not kill them.
hold alt
is that the only way or is there a skill
And don't have a fractured/blacked out arm
to decrease the weapon sway and increase breath hold time you can either leveling up. increasing your guns ergonomics also greatly helps with the weapon sway
most of it isnt but some of it is
which should i sell?
everything in the top two rows is really bad
7n39 is for keeping
aswell as BP 5.45x39
ps into gunpowder
if you have a workbench in your hideout that is ofc
ofc means?
of course
no
then sell it not worth the space
i keep getting the bolts but then dying
if you really love running pistols I suppose you could keep the 9x19 bullets and use pistols from peacekeeper. like p226 or m9a3
but if you want something that has a bit of punch get a fn five seven or an m1911
should i buy the Leatherman multitool?
for the workbench?
yes
yes I believe mechanic sells it
you cant turn items in to the hideout unless you have all items for an required upgrade
*unless you have all items required for an upgrade
so I would buy the multitool if you have everything else, otherwise its going to take space away in your stash ๐
the by far best two maps for that are interchange and reserve
but you can expect pvp, best chances are probbably gas station and radio tower on shoreline... not that those are really safe either
sorry m8 I would but I gotta go in like 10 minutes
you can add me if you wanna play later tonight or tomorrow
can someone tell me if tarkov will be wiping soon??
oh idk
i played at the end of 2018
then quit the game cuz of irl stuff
ty for the info
bolt and nuts (and other tools like measuring tape) can be easily found on Customs, on train next to the railroad to military exit point.
customs bad!
since these things has low value it's almost guaranteed to have that case unchecked.
just saying... why do you hate customs anyway?
who
what's the best map to just lvl up on? xp wise
factory
๐
happens
what is there typical accuracy?
Anyone know why my game has all of a sudden got really framey or laggy? Previous days have been fine just really acting up today
no
anyone wanna duo? im just starting this wipe but have played this game alot and know all maps 18+
does my right arm not heal myself?
then use pain killer
and tough it out
or buy a splint from therapist
if ur not in raid
Anyone wanna que up Woods with me and do introduction for Jaeger?
Hey guys, Iโm looking to do a couple of scav runs to build my loot up as I have lost everything and then some customs PMCs to get the 2 shotguns needed for a quest, would anyone be able to help me get through these and this quest finished?
Iโm EU, PM me if you can help ๐
for the kill 5 scav prapor quest do i have to exfil to get progress in the quest
Hey is anyone interested in mentoring/teaching me everything about this game. If so PM me I would really appreciate it greatly
do i have to be a pmc to kill them
Yes
If you just started learn a map offline first, saves yourself some hurt
Remember people the ai learns from you...
how come i repaired my visor to my zsh helmet but it still has bullet holes in it when i go into raid?
i have an issue that i dont know how to fix when i launch the game it says "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."
maybe you didnt repair it
face shields cant really be repaired unless they are super damaged
I dont think one bullet hole can be repaired
Looking to buy pestily's mask if anyone's scav has it on them for 5 BTCs
Do you lose bullets when you shoot at the shooting range?
what's the quickest way to get Peacekeeper to LL2?
Since you don't have to do any missions in order to get him to LVL 2, its just to level up your character and sell as much stuff as you can or want until you meet the requirements.
Found the gas analizer, life is good
@peak walrus its generally a bug, the dorms v extract is taken, but crossraods is still good to use
If you kill a scav, as a scav, do you get credit for killing scav quests
yes
is this game fun?
not at all
@bold kernel go into an offline raid with it and leave it should be fixed
still need some help
@ancient flame no u dont
thx batman
@latent light can be fun but can be pretty hard
also what are the requirements for achieving the 'found in raid' status
you'll need to find them in a raid
get the item in raid (not off a player) and survive that raid
but i think if you have that item as a scav it counts
Where do I find pestily mask and DrLupo beans :((( farming scavs in night factory for like 4 hours straight now
shturman case, scavs, scav case in hideout
u will need to go for longer than 4 hours to get them
@pearl copper best bet is scav case thats where i got mine i also found one of a random scav but thats rare
i heard cache running is good for beans
is the OLI key worth keeping? The one for the cash registers
np
Where can i find pilgrams in raid??
scavs
If in doubt, the answer is Scavs
Or Wiki :P
Looking for someone to Sherpa me
is there anything that tells you where the exits are?
can someone help me cheese this quest?
what quest
oof... first raid ever and killed two thick boys then didnt know the map and couldnt find the exit so i timed out lol
rip
Anyway to complete gunsmith part 1 with basic traders or should i just wait for fleamarket
@cloud night You can trade 2 broken hard drives for the MP-133 handguard at mechanic, or get the trade items to get the kitted MP-133 that he sells.
Slightly mod the MP-133 he trades to comply with the quest and you're done, the wiki has a rundown of how to make it.
Wiki also tells you where to get stuff.
There is only like... 1 or 2 items now you cant buy or barter
Anyonw around to help run through Customs a few times to get the MP133 shotguns for the first quest? - EU
Help on gunsmith prt 2
@slender gust Since you dont give details, this is my full detail answer to your ... request:
Wiki
a lot of questions people ask here are easily answered with one google search lol
what level are you and how much money you got?
if you need backpacks keep em
looking for two to run with me and a buddy to get the hang of the game with
@polar fable what server you on?
my scav spawned with 2 keycards what do i do with them
keep them
Lucky scav box is 1.2 mil on the flea market correct?
whats the best approach to kill scavs on woods ?
shoot?
prapor 15 scavs woods
wait 10-15 min into match for more scavs to spawn and drift between outskirts and sawmill to find scavs
Oh so there's both a barter from therapist and a straight for sale scav box
LFG - EU new Player looking to complete some Customs quests
LFG - NA anyone wanna play just dm me
First part of delivery done, went great
So I should use 885 if I'm going up against scavs mainly? I'm running customs and try not to run into any other pmc's but on the off chance I do, I want enough stopping power to hold my own in a gunfight. I've been going off this chart for ammo effectiveness but idk how trustworthy it is
5.56x45 is the ammo type with a ADAR
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.
All the data displayed below is the produc...
this page is good
if you want to meet the middle take m856a1
I don't mind shilling out my precious roubles if the ammo will be effective
I recall someone saying that in the 5.56 any round ending in A1 is good for most purposes
m855 is barely effective against most armors unless class 3 and bellow i think
I think the meta is M855A1 right now
m856a1 and m855a1 are pretty similar rounds tbh but a huge price difference
if you can go up to 855a1 exactly what you are looking for in that "what if PMC" scenario
yea, 855a1 pens class 4, then 856a1 has a good chance of pening class 4
Ok I'll stock up on M855A1 when I can. NOTHING on the flea market right now and I need LL4 with skier or LL 3 with Peacekeeper
m995 is overkill right now, unless they have class 5/6 armor
If I'm using regular M855 in the meantime until I have access to M855A1 will it make a huge difference?
if you dont have access to 855a1 i would recommend 856a1 and not m855, its one of the worst rounds
if they have tier 4 armor, which is likely, you'll struggle with 855
did the ultra medical room key get nerfed?
i doubt it, probably just unlucky
well others are saying it defo got nerfed
i havent ran interchange at all basically, i have the key so it could've gotten nerfed, ive only used it twice
who wants to play reserve โค๏ธ
LFG - EU new Player looking to try and survive
Can never spot where damn shots are coming from
If anyone's scav has pestily mask on them, I'm willing to trade 5 BTCs if you can drop it in a duo scav w me UwU
I realised how important stomach armor actually is
I'm having a really hard time finishing Punisher Part 4 with the 10 PMCs on Shoreline, any suggestions?
rush the spawns if you hear any gunshots rush that too
i think that quest is bugged and you dont need a scav vest, it may have been fixed. other than that i would say either grab a sniper and watch high traffic areas early in the raid or take a SMG into resort, whatever your playstyle is
@bold kernel get gun, shoot person, get loot, do quest
side objectives include dicky needles,kill hatchling,getting tarkov'd
any questions?
don't forget being gunned down like a dog by the dude in fort-altyn
Or just a random scav with a mosin
as i said, getting tarkov'd
PUSSY
takes one to know one
you are what you eat
@lavish pulsar youll get more confident as you play although finding a group can help
your parents died in a car accident @dire rock
nah hes just a meaningless idiot on the internet
SIKE FUCK YOU
im fine you think i havent dealt with people with 2 IQ before?
sad to see this is what you guys choose to spend your time doing
btw cant delete audit logs :)
We're good
thanks
what im on about is i never have to speak to you ever again due to the best button on the internet
nice tunes man
I'm a lvl 1 hatchling at i need help with raid in interchange
sorry correction custom
also can you complete quest as a scav?
use your scav to learn the map, the wiki also has good maps for learning
no you canr
cant*
WoOdS
weird map to start on
woods is an eh map
ive been getting into it a bit though
customs is a good map though, lot of early quests there
use the wiki maps to learn the callouts
customs is probably the easiest to learn for looting
running around for stash boxes if you need
change has more if you want to run stashes
true
hi, with the kill scav quests. can i do that in a scav run? or only as a pmc raid
you have to be on a PMC to complete quests
you can find quest items as a scav though such as gas analyzers
np
I am doing absolutely terribly in this game and I'm so sad because I really want to be good! I keep dying so I bought the eod package and lost all the gear, I was so so upset it was aweful.
I now have nothing no money no weapons, from having all that at the start to nothing now makes me sad. I need some help, I keep dying on scav to, am I just terrible
this game takes a while to get into, learning the maps figuring out playstyles. everything takes time some may be faster than others but you will figure it out, if you really are completely stuck with nothing and are ok with losing your quest progression then you can reset your account and get your equipment back. either way what i recommend is look at exactly what you died to and how you can prevent that in the future. if you find your problem is accuracy/gunfight ability like me, try using flanking and positioning to end fights before they happen, if you keep dying from random spots then start watching them. just keep an eye on what mistakes you made and how you can prevent your deaths, master your playstyle and you'll do a lot better
I watch YouTube videos all day throughout the day
Then die all the time after work
I really want to be good
streamers make it look easy
Why can't I be as good as them
watching others is a good way to learn map/ game info but everyone has different skillsets, what one person might be good at you arent. figure out what kind of tactics you want to use, like me i learned from operatordrewski that you can bring a cheap gun like a hunter into change and use the audio and flanking routes of the map to out position and kill people no matter their gear
since im not good at straight up fights like youll see other streamers do i keep quiet and try to not be spotted
