nah it does not look fine lel
what do you do when you've got a reflex site on your gun but you come to a long range engagement?
speak for yourself π
im a noob too :7
i was doing stirrup today on factory and i shot my luckiest bullet
i flicked a guy on his head
he mad lol
! i managed to do stirrup today too π
i died that raid tho
unlucky
CHat's you get from interchange, right? And sometimes scavs
and let them complete their raid on bbroken legs
The Cowboy hat π€
i would bring cms but standart account sux
the irony
True tho
staff did it for a reason then. not reason to bring it here.
how should i level jaeger
I would do his quests, buy scav vests, and sell them back to him
can i buy the key needed for the "Supervisor" quest or do i need to find it?
ye i just did thank you
What is the best way to learn labs?
watch landmark lol
Yeah, but he's sometimes an absolute douchebag
lvndmark is great; people ask stupid ass questions and he gives them an equally stupid answer π€£
Yeah, except the time the chat bought up all the VSS's and VALs and deleted them
π€£
What happened @spice otter I am not aware of this but now I want to know
thats priceless
He asked his whole chat to go on the flea market and buy up the VSS's and VALs, then they all deleted them cause they were upset that they were too powerful.
Yus, he's really good tho, not gonna lie. But he's toxic af.
Toxic? Idk about that; he doesn't call anyone names and isn't overtly rude or racist--he may do things you don't like but that doesn't make him 'toxic' for deleting guns off the flea--he made the rubles he can do what he want with them π€£ π
Nahhh, I don't mean that. Not like rust toxic, I just meant talking a wee bit of shit on his kills. He's fine besides that, lol. He's good enough to be that way, but I like "wholesome" content from the other streamers.
Ahhh thats cool then; I respect your opinion--Im from Halo 1-2 days where trash talk and heated verbal insults were tossed around regularly so my skin is pretty thick with a layer of humor
Wholesome bores me but too each their own @spice otter π€· π
Hence the quotes, I don't care about toxicity. I just don't binge lwndmark, I like anton a bit more cause he's a memer.
what ranges are the HHS-1 sight dots? I know its a range finder but idk what the dots actually mean https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Eotech_HHS-1_sight
I wouldn't use that sight to begin with honestly
Same 
Valday/EOTech Vuudoo for range'd shots IMO
if you use a x24 you tryna break records π€£
anything to keep?
sight
Oki :)
Does private clinic's requirements need to be found in raid?
nope @vale wave
When making profit in the flea market do you sell it at the cheapest or at a mid price
bit below mid normall
y
sell for the cheapest if the item is super expensive tho 1m+
Ok thx
You know what i love about this game? Spawning in and instantly headshot.
Gotta love that
Had that happen on customs
same
what mount do i need for this?
Uh what type of gun?
@wise stream link search it
Anyone wanna help me get jaeger from woods π
cant, no flea market @raven gazelle
also I'm trying to put it on AR-15 compatible weapons
Do I ever get a notification if my insured items are recovered? I get notifications that Prapors guys go out to get it but I haven't seen a single item come back yet. Or do I have to go out and recover it from somewhere?
how long has it been since you died
Yesterday and the day before I've had insured stuff on me when I died
if it gets picked up during that game you wont get anything back
usually it takes about 24 hours
prapors will give you a notification if he gets anything back for you
Yo, this a random thing, but if any of yalls are looking for a long time group or just general help, I'm sherpaing along with some of my mates on my server. You can ask questions or play, but hmu if any of you r interested.
I got a blue lab key card should I sell it too a trader?
ok thx
On flea rn they are worth around 6 mil
nice im only lvl 5 right now so have too lvl up first
Yes hang on to it will give you a nice financial boost
I have the 3 million to upgrade my stash should I save before upgrading so that I'm not suddenly poor as hell?
What level are you?
24
Just 3
oh they mustve changed it
was gonna say
Stuff you make in your hideout, can it be sold on the Flea Market even though it's not found in a raid?
yes
Thank you @stone moss
That is one reason why hideout is much more worth working on this wipe.
I've been busting my ass on it and seeing I can make cases in the Lav fuck yes it is
any body looking to help a guy that's completely new
Hey
When is the new patch releasing?
I prob can in about an hour if you still need help
thanks
Early next week
lfg to show me the ropes, new
Where do u find the bronze pocketwatch
Machinery key is the key you need for the truck at customs for checking
@long creek It is in the DP fuel truck's cab on the floor. You need a machinery key to unlock the door.
The key is in dorms room 205, in the brown jacket. The room is in the three story building.
You can also find it in random coats and on scavs
hey lfg no one care of new players in the lfg channel. i would really like some help of a duo player
try the sherpa hub...
Can anyone explain why I got an 'early termination' in a raid? I had over 1300xp, 1 kill, and got some loot. Or is that somehow different from 'run-through'?
Will someone run delivery from the past with me?
lfg chill duo
Not sure where to bring documents and id like some back up
what key opens up that spot that lets you bypass the gate/portapotty jump section?
in customs
Question - in the new patch, scavs (Including raiders?) will loot dead bodies (PMC's) if a raid ends and a scav has my gun, do I not get it back via insurance ?
@ashen yoke Factory Key
it has 50 charges and can also be used as a factory exit
@silver hornet lfg is like cancer with only high level players who dont want to play with new players
Still, it isnt the lfg channel go to sherba hub if you need help
^
sherba lol
SherpaHub is in #sherpa-info
i am tired ok
sherba
lets rename sherpa into sherba
do you guys go for scav case in the hideout? apparently it is decent for making money
i just try to survive tbh
@tiny stag It can be a good way to make money; overall, you should make a profit but you might make a loss before reaching profit
thanks! I will try and get my hideout good enough to make it
It's also a great way to get some of the rarest items in the game, too
Good luck π
It's good for passive income over time but you take a bunch of losses
ah gotcha, then I'll mostly stick to scavs on reserve for money
I mean get it for sure, I have gotten a ton of quest items from not playing the game
Me and a buddy compared a bunch of moonshine runs, he lost a few 100k and I made a few mil
We had the reverse with intel
Someone did 100 runs with each box (I want to say it was Veritas?) and found that they all should even out, but Intel gives the most super rare items, moonshine gives the most rare items and some super rare items but the most stable profit was the 70k case (now 85k)
Yeah, we didnβt record 100.
okay WHAT IN THE FUCK WAS THAT
I just got killed randomly
some fucking hacker
comepletely silent gunshots
Damn, that sucks my dude. It happens I'm afraid.
Or desync or long range suppressed gun
The new patch is adding the ability to report after the raid ends.
no one was around me
dude ive lost 3 fucking sets of my best shit now due to this
Ive been trying to finish skiers quest on customs
Which one?
Extortionist I think its called
Ah, yes.
I had that happen to me last wipe. Very frustrating.
I'd suggest going in with just a pistol and a spare mag, if you're worried about losing loot.
Or, better yet, get grouped up
Where are you, country-wise?
U.S
If you're EU, I can try helping you
Ah. Well, I'm happy to try assisting if you'd like?
Hehe no worries mate. I've not had any issues myself, as I have a good internet connection but it might be worth trying to find a group
i was getting only 145-150 while playing from us to sweden
Iβm in CA and play with someone in the UK sometimes, we can only use Washington DC server
damn
yes im from eu and play on washington a lot
Ive lost 3 AK74ms and my best vests were armoured rigs that were level 4 and they are all gone now
then dont bring in ur best gear lol
Well I bring jackshit and I die
Wait is dying not what we are supposed to do? I have been playing this all wrong D:
I almost finished It three times but there was always someone that looked like they just plug walked out of labs.
well it seems u bring in good shit and die soo...
And they proceeded to dunk on me
umm what to buy from market to sell to skier ????
Actually I bring in good shit and dont die ussually
uve just been complaiing about dying with good shit no???
Well im sorry I dont have level 5 unlocked my guy
Flea market
@broken laurel Suppressors and optics, probably.
π
im level 10
get ur 3m armor now nerd
Im close tbf
You could also just buy from him and then sell back the stuff.
Not close enough
@shut mason If you like, we can try to do a Customs run and I'll bring you a weapon n such?
Fair enough mate
I bet once I even get level 5 armor some dude with a mosin is just gonna plug walk on my ass
@torn ledge thanks, thought with new changes and nerfs to skier the prices would be lower but lost only 100 k due to reselling
should i learn reserve or interchange? i've only played factory cause it was easy to learn due to size
Nice one @broken laurel π
yeah i only did it to get xp to get to lvl 10. dropped from 2 mil to 1.3 m cause of it
yes do quests for xp
do all ur quests
quest and surviving raids are the best for exp
I just did a scav run on customs and came across a body with a gun on it I hadnt examined yet. Because I didnt know what gun it was I couldnt put it into my inventory. For some reason evertime I examined it it wouldgo back to being unknown and i wouldnt be able to equip it. Is this a normal bug or was it just me?
holodilnic 450k the hell?
Iβve never seen that bug. I would have tried to reset game.
Most people only need one, so sooner or later demand goes down
yknow im probably having the best start out of all new players
at least from most of them
smh yall hating on factory
i dont
why cant i sell bitcoin in flea anymoire??
if you could f
w case prices would get fked
people keep them, do the barter and sell the case
they get 1.5 m more
if someone sells coing they get bought instantly so the w case cycle keeps going
oh
at least as far as i know
thanks you so much man
np
it's to combat real money trading
you cannot flea barter trades
The reason was to combat RMT as they were a fixed price essentially that could be made infinitely it was RMT currency
anybody have any tips for shooter born in heaven woods?
sniper rock
Anyone want to cheese shooter born in heaven
What's the best way to make money as a beginner
scav runs on reserve I think
Hitting stashes, or if your semi-competent with a gun, farm underground raiders on reserve cause the AI down there are shit.
Should I bring any armor for stirrup?
You can so you don't insta die. I just plan on chadding with a PM lol no armor
im running m9a3 cause I had spare U.S dollars
Ill slap on SSH68 and some lvl 3 for the scavs
is this where i should post for help with some of the customs quests?
yea
okay well does anyone mind helping me with some of my quests on customs
which quest
delivery from the past the extortionist or operation Aquarius
been advoiding customs
avoiding*
armor class 3 or 4 for scavs?
3 works for scavs but some of them can get through it
3 is normally what i rock and i can fight them without too much worry
then keep fighting them
?
Im sitting on around 2.5m roubles and im not sure what to invest in
I just told you what to do
fuck wrong with these beginner ass niggas man
they be blowing me
Yo can someone help me get started in this game?
I've played for a couple of days but I just keep dying
ik the feeling man
Is it worth completing Farming pt.4? It's the one where u have to turn in 3 GPU's found in raid
I just found one and I want to sell it but the quest needs me to turn them in :\
@bronze oyster I can help you but you gotta listen and donβt be a dweeb like them other mothafuckas
i gatchu
Iβm about to DM you
aight
@tiny stag i believe that quest is the one that leads to shooter born in heaven
so if u want to have that open to you so u can get kill credit at any point in the game i believe u should finish that quest
cause u gonan need to do 100 meters headshoot kills
so if u happen to get one while u dont have the quest active
you wont get credit
does it matter who you repair to? I know that Prapor repairs less than Mechanic but anything else besides that?
the amount repaired is also different
like the maximum durability is decreased more
prapor is cheaper
pay extra get better max durability preserved... not always worth it
but less efficent
just don't wear armor, then it isn't an issue
wuts a good budget helmet that allows you to wear visor and headphones?
@shut pelican "good" is kinda subjective, not really any great helmets that meet those requirements and are still budget. You can use a tak-kek "slow-mt" for a visor-holder with ricochet chance. Other options are the lzsh and tc 800 (tc 800 best bang-for-buck imo)
I think the shrek helm is worth it for the money, anything more than that and you better be running a big boy kit worth paying the premium for a little more protection
shrek?
lol the ssh-68 steel helmet
ahhh never heard it called shrek lol
there is another, more nsfw, name for it. tried to keep it family friendly π
That helmet makes a nice ding sound as the round travels through it and into my brain
I used to run that helmet every chance and like I said... NEVER saved me.
tried other helmets too and same issue
only one that saves me is altyn
lol
Personal preference to some degree - I have gotten my bell rung and survived with it on several occasions. It also depends on how your engagements happen. When you aren't the one choosing the fight it can make it harder to line up an ez headshot on you. If you are ratting hard and never get caught off guard it will be a lot less useful
Yah, IDK. Like I said, it never saves me. I assume its just bad luck on my part lol
Skipping headwear will definitely save you money when you're running budget kits. Never skip on the facecover though. Hidden +20 to Coolness and Intimidation
what's that one scope everyone likes to use
can swap between the dot and 3 lines coming out
pk06
PK-06 is everyone's favorite collimator
ty
delta point is better
I personally like the Eotech holo sights cause I use them in FPS games a lot
Sights are one of the most personal-preference pieces of equipment out there. I quite like the P1X42 Weaver on "T" mode
for chemical pt.3, you don't need to survive the raid? just hand in the syringe with a chemical?
You have to survive to be able to turn it in Mango
I had the best luck sprinting straight to office, grabbing the chem, and G'ing TFO. You can Run Through and it's fine
My fav sight is the walther MRS, followed by the eotech
And I kinda like the cobra, but it's shit in high-lighting conditions
Any Idea where to get the uhh
stock converter thing you need for gunsmith part 2?
I dont have skier lvl 2 and I dont see it on flea
what do you guys do with < lvl 10 dog tags?
leave em... I leave anything under 40 thou... rarely barter trade and value is too low usually
i selll them to theripist unless u can find a good trade for them
Would anyone like to play with me Iβm new and need some help
EU or NA?
so items i buy off the flea wont have a FIR status?
yeah i found that out with a rolex yesterday π¦
sucks that barterers wont take non FIR goods
do you know why it's that way?
Traders should still buy stuff that doesn't have the FIR tag
What are you trying to sell and to who?
Or you mean trading on the flea market?
what should I do with the remington jaegar gave me for the 3 labs keycards? I doubt i will use it, but if there is a quest that requires one? thanks!
I can't think of a quest that requires an M700 I can check
ok ty
Yeah no quest for R700 @rough hare
Except maybe if u wanna use that thing for shooter born in heaven
Youβre gonna be running out of snipers sooner or later
hmm, I am very bad at the game and don't know if I will be able to pass shooter born in heaven tbh
If u canβt u can be like me
I give my friend a graphics card via flea, and he died for me 5 times for my quests
Itβs quite easy, we found each other 6/9 runs we did queuing separately
how do you give via flea? what if someone bought it faster?
Put a medium cheap item like motor, electric drill, or paracord up for a graphics card trade
Then tax will only be 20k
but if someone else saw it first and nabbed it
Really, someone is going to give HIM a graphics card for a motor? Yeah sure
Iβd take it any day
oh, idk why, i thought you meant putting a graphics card up to recieve a motor
Nah
sorry, I get it now
Iβm giving it to him for letting me kill him 5 times
I might have to resort to that if I can't get it, thanks for the cheese tactic though!
3 short range mosin quests and 2 shooter born in heaven kills
Work smarter not harder ;)
I have the short range mosin, but that sounds easy on factory to me xD
Itβs a legit tactic if u ask me, doing the quest has a few reasons other than doing it for the kappa: you find sniping fun, you find a challenge fun, u find it easy, or you want to suffer losing all your guns trying to get these kills
If u donβt find yourself in any of those categories or youβve given up, stick with cheese
Nothing wrong with it, paying a friend, get your quest done
Short range mosin kill was harsh on me
I lost 5 mosins before I got a mosin kill on factory
I definitely made my money back from killing that juicy player but it was really annoying losing to a pistol guy because I couldnβt reload in time
@tropic gyro I was trying to trade cigarettes for 260mm barrel
i had 2 malboros it would recognise as FIR
but the ones i bought off the flea
it wouldnt recognize
On mechanic?
aye
Strange, should let you even if its not fir
I always traded for that before and i bought the cigarettes from the flea market
ok ill restart the client and try again, thanky ou π
If they're in a bag or a rig in ur stash take them out
Also check if you bought the correct ones, they're very similar π
Are you trying to barter them for the 260mm from the flea menu?
aye
Try on the actual trader
Worked?
That's because the flea market only takes FIR
Yes
And you were trying to trade from the flea menu so it'll just accept FIR
While the trader accepts anything
do you ever get problems with trader menu's becoming non respnsive
or not updating properly when you move between tabs?
strangely i find this happens most often with mechanic
have to reset my game to fix it
Yes it does
Sometimes I can see the buying menu behind the selling one
You can also get the bug where you can only see 1 prapor or multiple prapors
Menu also gets stuck a little but not a big deal for me honestly
As long as it doesn't get stuck in game i'm fine
Anyway if you need help with anything else hit me up, i'll be happy to help
Its his Scav
But honestly, just loot around normally
Hi there again derpy waves
Uh. Hi
k
So just look what does deal 80 dmg and you got what can one tap (NAKED) chest
thank you
im having trouble with this quest, ive bought all the bits but my sighting range is under the requirements
when the Saferoom Exfil on Interchange turn green and say "Close the door" does that mean it was already opened by someone else and I can take it?
Should, yes
@short holly If you got a Prism on it, you should have the right sighting range?
can anyone help me with the gilded zibbo quest? Im having a really hard time with it
@bright hatch I came here to play tarkov not look at weed prices lol
you are hecc man
@ember canyon still need help?
yes
pm
there was a guy on the deep web who just rolled up in the call
@short holly in the next patch 1 tapping to the chest will be harder/impossible on most ammo
@languid flare thanks, i found out i had the wrong prism scope >.>
me either lol
Escapers, here are the preliminary patch notes for Patch 0.12.7: Added: Customs expansion (expansion of industrial area, construction site, added many new explorable buildings, stationary weapons, new location for Reshala spawn etc.) Added new scav boss - Sanitar. A former doc...
"Customs expansion (expansion of industrial area, construction site, added many new explorable buildings, stationary weapons, new location for Reshala spawn etc.)"
Improved AI behavior:
Bots can pick up items now
Improved AI behavior when they see bodies
Bots now can pick up a second firearm from bodies
AI now can greet each other or player scavs, showing their peaceful intentions
Bots will eat\drink while in peaceful mode
AI will perform a mag check when in peaceful mode
Bots can check someone for friend or foe by aiming at him for some time, if theyβre not sure of oneβs intentions
Bots will sprint while patrolling if they consider the spot being dangerous
AI will be able to storm the player as a group, if heβs holding position and attacking them
AI will try to avoid dangerous places
looking for tarkov sugar daddy will give cuddles
When is 12.7 coming?
Does anyone have any tips for someone who has a basic understanding of the game but struggles to stay alive during raids
where do you die usually
Customs will change so don't take my advice as is
by the way
Around dorms, Construction, and next to the scav sniper tower thing
I'd guess you are in the wrong spot all the time.
The problem with customs is you have too many angles to look for
there's no centralized looting for example like Woods, that's my opinion
You need to learn where PMCs move from their spawn usually
You can play spawn lines until you get confident
What do you mean by spawn lines?
basic example
Can get more complicated
If you get any of the 'inner' spawns
You could hop into the path of the enemies
Until you get your confidence up and your FPS skills up to par you can play more tactically.
Get some money and then start blowing it on gear to lose
so you can train
And essentially camp right?
You don't have to but you can yea
What I'd do sometimes when I spawn close to old gas
is hop over the wall
and rush towards dorms or construction
I usually catch a group going there
yeah
But you can play it slower
I really like fighting in construction
at the end of the day it's an FPS game so until you feel confident in your skill to take down opponents, collect some money
yeah
by playing smart
That's good tbh.
how much total
I'm new to the game as well but that is what worked for me.
Get up to 10 and then start playing more aggressive
fuck my life.. Just got one tapped by a scav after he tanked a mosin shot
RIP quests
Hi everyone
Hello
i am pretty new to Tarkov i am Level 16 now and still have to do some quests in Dorms
pretty Scared of it though
Dont worry about it, wait until there is 20 minutes left in the raid and then go to dorms, its either gonna be empty or just some scavs which im sure you will be able to handle
you can also scope it out before entering to make sure
best way to level the search skill is just... searching dead bodies and maybe filing cabinets? need lvl 9 for that ragman quest but only lvl 6 π¦
Yep just rat looting, allllll the containers and bodies you can
should i just extract
and not loot anything
died instantly
such is life
well he'll be happy
Ape
fucking fuck fuck shit fuck
That was ur own fault
when shit like that happens I dump the backpack
why?
Big ol' target
ahh
Pilgrim lol
Still unlucky, was it to a PMC?
yeah
Deserved
Regulated Materials (the tank shell quest from prapor), I'm following a guide on it but they must spawn so rarely
Yeah it's an extremely passive quest
And it doesn't lead to anything
Not required for kappa
trying to sneak with a broken leg is fucking cancer
is there anything you can do for a black leg?
Painkiller + run, or repair it with a CMS/Surv12
what do you lot recommend for treating pain, I'm using goldenstar atm but its loud and slow
can I stash an objective object while wearing it
the gzhel for example
just pop an ibuprofen
pretty sure you have to take it off.. But you can wear it into the raid and insure it until you need to stash it
cheap guns with small recoil?
Insure the pack π or just take a duffle/tbag
true enough
what do you lot recommend for treating pain, I'm using goldenstar atm but its loud and slow
@short holly morphine is probably quietest painkiller.. but I'd opt for ibuprofen or normal vaseline
not too expensive, still good benefits
alright thank you π
@short holly did u survive with it?
you talkin about that ultra medical key?
si
if it was i'd get out the strainers and put it on the flea
guessing u lost it :< dang
so im level 10 and need help i know how to kill and shit but like geting loot and loot spawns/exfil spots etc. im a lost cause on those
2 games in a row i went in with a friend and we didnt spawn together
WTF is this
literally spawned on the other side of the map
were you guys scavs?
scavs are more likely to not spawn together but pmcs are rare
@cerulean merlin The 5.45 AKs have fairly low recoil
So does the ADAR, though it's semi automatic.
I don't believe so; possibly one of the Gunsmith quests, but unlikely
ok lol cos there is barters for intelligence and i sold mine for 100k
i put it up as a joke to see if anyone would buy it and they did lol
Haha nice, I guess it must be one of the Gunsmith quests it's needed for π
must be
finally got a suppressor that I can put on my mosin >:D
using 2 adapters xD
@cerulean merlin The 5.45 AKs have fairly low recoil
@torn ledge kk
Hey guys I am not really new I just didnt play for sometime
I have few question
Did the hideout update come out?
and is it late/mid/ or early wipe atm
The hideout is more relevant due to other changes in the way the economy works
We are about 1 month into wipe @keen minnow
Isn't it more like month and a half to two months?
could anyone tell me at what point i can level peacekeeper? im not getting any quests for him
You need to do skier quests
Eventually you will get "friend from the west or east or w/e direction"
ahhh ok im still stuck on the 2x flash drive one with skier..
I don't think you have to do that one to unlock it.
so its a level thing? im 34 now
you do
"What's on the flash drive?" leads to "Golden Swag" which in turn leads to "Friend from the West - Part 1"
hm what would be the best map for the drives? customs is my go to but i hardly ever find one there
i would do interchange or reserve
but i have to find them in raid
if you craft something in hideout it counts as FiR
Not a chance are they crafting any flash drives
Interchange is a good shout for flash drives as there are tens of computers
I got quite a few from the tent on woods, as well as spawning as a scav with them
Any I found were either on a scav or in interchange. But like he said, IC is a good place as well
What bullet(s) can pierce the doors in labs? Example door: Janitors closet door
m995 seems to only pierce sometimes in my tests
ss190 even less so
Object penetration is fairly random
also it seems like theres a random chance for the bullet to ricochet back at you
I just took damage shooting a door lol
180 degree ricochet, nice
You aren't supposed to shoot doors >.>
im now curious
im gonna take in a few 100 round mags and see if you can kill yourself with a ricochet
Best "budget" lvl 4-5 helmet. That can have a face mask?
sry another question. just had a little deeper look at the hideout. its actually pretty worth upgrading it is it?
Upgrading the hideout is a good idea, yes.
Other than Atlyn
There are a lot of passive benefits, including quest items you can craft and items you can sell etc.
Later on, there's passive money generation - you can produce bitcoins automatically and have scavs run out to get random gear for you.
Being able to craft medkits, food, weapons etc is very useful too.
@gleaming jungle ZSh-1-2M
can be bought for either 41/63k from skier depending on the outcome of one of the Chemical quests, class 4 and takes a faceshield
faceshield is class 3 for it though
@silent temple
Thats what ove been using. Just making sure I wasn't too far off the mark. Cause I'm still getting 1 tapped in the head from seemingly any angle
That can and will happen with some bad luck, but it'll at least protect you from the more basic ammo.
And, importantly, you won't get one-tapped by Scavs as often.
Armour is mostly for scavs.. Any decently geared PMC is going to use ammo that pens class 4
@torn ledge @silent temple
Alrighty thanks guys
π
@torn ledge nice profile picture BTW π
Thanks! There's a dude who made it with several bears - I asked him to trim just the panda out for me π
I saw the hi-res reupload yesterday? day before? Such nice artwork
Did he cut the panda out and fill the background in for you?
One more question, I was thinking or selling off my tri bags for a few slim med packs. That a good idea or nah?
No point hoarding allllll the backpacks
I only have 2 lol
Yeah he did
What a nice dude
Yeah he's very cool. I gave him a donation for it
and I'd get rid, having items sat there doesn't do anything for you
I have too many pistols though
I like having lots and lots and lots of bags - it's always good to be able to bring a bag into a raid with you.
Bag stacking is the foundation of Tarkov loot π
Yeah, just sold like 20 mbss and day packs
so i want to get into tarkov, whats the best thing i can start with?
I'd highly recommend reading up on the wiki to get to grips with some of the basics.
You can also play as a Scav so you don't risk losing any gear while you learn how to play.
Check out some maps so you know where to extract, as well.
okay thanks, ill give it a shot!

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...
How should I position myself? I keep not including factors like light, so if someone takes a fight, they have an advantage because Iβm in the light and heβs in the dark
any tips for punisher pt3
Also, should I crouch walk around the place or am I okay to run?
@inner fjord Very much depends on the map. Sound is the most important factor in this game, by far.
So I should crouch walk around everywhere?
Figure out what surfaces make what kind of noise. Get used to how fast you're walking affects the loudness.
Not necessarily. There's no harm in sprinting around but you should recognise that doing so will alert people to your position.
That's not innately bad, just something to consider.
For example, if you hear someone sprinting, your first reaction might be to find and kill that person. Or you might decide to avoid combat and move away from the noise. Or you might hold position to see where they go etc
Can I silence my footsteps like irl?
The mindset of each player is different, and also VERY situational. Got a lot of loot you don't wanna lose? You might get defensive and move slower. Feel like you're able to get into a fight and not worry about shots? Sure, go sprinting.
If you are not overweight and are uninjured, the slowest walk speed doesn't make you COMPLETELY silent, but very very quiet. Again, surface makes the difference. Walking up metal steps is louder than grass.
Likewise, headsets make a big difference. Some headsets reduce or increase different noises.
Alright thanks, hopefully this will help me at interchange
@still quartz kills the scavs.. go to hotspots like new gas/old gas/dorms
A lot of it will just be learning the maps, too. Like, you'll almost always want to sprint into interchange to avoid combat outside. Once you're in, up to you how you behave.
Might take 2 raids, might take 10 raids
@silent temple i usually try to do other quests in customs while killing scavs but ive had really bad luck lately
Shit happens Β―_(γ)_/Β―
yup ive had pretty bad tarkov days these couple days
You could propably do a stash run and kill all the common scavs while you are at it.
If you're on a standard account then rushing punisher series is the way to go, but if it means you don't have as much fun then just give it a short break and do something else
yeah i have a standard account :/
i took like a 2 month break from tarkov
i came back like a couple days ago
looking for a gamer to help me do the golden lighter quest. I already have the lighter, I just need to place it somewhere
I started in feb with standard
quested until I unlocked Peacekeeper and Beta Container
Got beta container
waited until wipe
Wipe happens I upgrade to Prepare for Escape edition that comes with Beta container so I 'feel like I never lost it'
quest until Epsilon container in new wipe
now Im tryna get kappa
I did it this way so Im incentivized and feel the progression
If I bought EOD Id already have a gamma and a kappa is only +3 slots in comparison so I wouldn't be incentivized to unlock it
@still quartz
if you get the left behind edition what does it come with?
Nothing beside a few more items than standard and a level 2 stash size instead of level 1 with standard edition
ok
Prepare for escape gives you level 3 stash size and Beta (2x3) container; if you don't want EOD but want to upgrade do this version
I want EOD, just cant afford it lol
Try prapre for escape
Just upgrade over time π
^^^^^
GG
ok
Wait if I buy a basic copy of Tarkov I can upgrade for a lower cost ?
guys i got a question. i cant see people's helmets from a distance and its affecting my gameplay in a bad way. which setting mill make helmets visible from a distance ?
@mossy linden yeah
@split aspen The only settings I can think of that would affect that are Overall LOD quality and Overall visibility. Max those out, see if that makes a difference
@mossy linden Technically, I suppose it's worth it. I'd recommend just upgrading over time; start with basic, play and enjoy it a bit first then upgrade to the middle tier in a month or so (or when you next can afford it).
Then you can upgrade to EOD later.
Nothing physical, but the later editions include not only large stash upgrades, they also include larger pouches for storing items safely when raiding.
That's in addition to weapons, armour, meds etc. Nothing super exciting, but useful initially.
rip
@torn ledge will try thanks
π
We all know the main reason to buy EOD is that crown
Whats a lucky scav junkbox?
It's a crate that has 100 slots for crafting/barter items
Very useful for reducing stash clutter
isnt it a 14x14?
Its that time of day again that barter items are super cheapo on the Flea and ive wanted to scour around for some good barter trades im not really aware of yet. Anyone got any suggestions? I'm not specifically looking for anything in particular, just anything that's a worthwhile trade i'll glady accept.
i was still able to extract even tho timer went past 0 and disappeared
yes it sometimes takes a long time to exit u from the game and in that time u can extract
Fyren, def do the Jaeger Holodnick trade and med case trades if you don't already have them.
whats some decent 556 ammo to buy without breaking the bank?
M855 will do yah just fine. M856A1 and M855A1 are better ammos overall, but that's what you can upgrade to.
cool
np
If you are running m855 you really prob want to be aiming at the head. It only guarantee penetrates class 3.
Yeah, but with the high fire rate of the M4, chances r ur gonna pen a bit, but I agree w/u
I wouldn't recommend m855 at this point in the wipe
its the best 5.56 i can run tho
Yah you are still early game, right Boomer? Not a lot of options and the ammo for that thing is a pain
I keep dying to armor bros that I can unload a full mag into and they just shrug it off. Armor is fucking op
I can't buy anything cuz im not even lvl 10 yet, whatever 5.56 that peacekeeper sells at lvl 1 thats what i was using
Realism my ass
@opaque garnet try using the PS ammo with SKS from prapor. it kinda ends your armor problems
^ solid advice
Does anyone know how to bring up the modding interface? I have workbench in hideout
Also how do people typically make 100k+ roubles per raid? I can't seem to make any money like ever
How the fuck do people complete the guide? Genuinely the most enraging quest in the whole game. Burnt 8m in a day doing this shit.
Big squad energy, and some luck
i suppose lol. gg to anyone who completed that shit
I would love to finish it before they add grenade launcher
imagine labs in the elevator and a fucking tube goes off and im dead
I'm done trying it at this point. down to 2m from 40+ 2 days ago
Id go not chadded and bush wookie
thats what I did to get reserve; interchange woods and customs
Nah, you gotta go full chad to reduce chance of getting one tapped
gotta do labs first or im wasting my time it seems
shits lame. suspicious how many times i get head eyes one tapped through an altyn
I run faster without 40kg of gear
40kg means I can be shot easier; Im not depending on my armor to save me from m61 on woods -- id rather not get shot to begin with
You don't have to grab any loot, and you can use stims to help with stamina
Did 4/7 of them and died to dumb shit on woods fully geared with a ghezel; all my other raids were near naked with level 2 armor
You don't have to grab any loot, and you can use stims to help with stamina
@silent temple This
you have to live 10m and leave; per map that is it
You dont have to kill anything or loot anything
shits lame. suspicious how many times i get head eyes one tapped through an altyn
@steady wagon
You don't have to loot anything but if a kill or 2 saves you 10 minutes then it's worth it
π―
Shit, im not trying too lol. i move 10m from spawn at take a round to the eyes through my altyn/airframe
I have level 30 endurance and level 8 strength and still struggle so π€·
What is the easiest way for a person to make 100k-300k per raid?
Hit stashes or keyed doors if you have the keys.
Yo,, if any noobs want to join me to make an army, it be hilarious, so hmu.
@queen kiln Survive
@steady wagon i did mine last wipe by being hella lucky
the closest i was to dying was on woods with 3 blacked limbs and a zeroed out armor
how am I meant to kill people with pistols, the bullets are fucking weak as shit
shoot them in the head
they have face shields
@olive turret I've had the worst luck possible trying this shit lol. I've given up at this point, im just going to help friends w quests n stuff and be over it

lol
anayone down to help me on the kind of sabotage quest on woods i know how to get it but keep dying to mosin bush wookies
URGH!! woods... dont get me started lol
If you don't mind sniping it can be a fun map
ive only run woods 3 times, and it was for jager quest
i dont mind it though, i might try it a bit more, since i want to improve my sniping skills
It's fishing with guns. Not for everyone.
its fun
Was told if you do offline raids you can keep your stuff just extracted with stuff I found and all I have is what I went in with? Obviously really new to the game
@fast egret Offline is practice mode where nothing changes.
Ok so itβs just to get used to the maps
Yup! You can set it to spawn AI and such too before you load in to practice fighting too
Ok cool thanks
lol what a scam
lol imagine not having red @potent tusk
bot
I usually just sell them, Im not a huge fan of Labs
thats where rich people go to kill each other
looks like u hit railing
Can I reload the same mag over and over to level up mag drills??
i thought mag drills are loading bullets into mags
@sage prism yes
I have a bit of a problem with loadouts at the moment. Although not a beginner in terms of time played... I still feel like it. I'm level 34 but I've got here using the bare minimum basically. I want to start using better gear but I just don't know what's good in terms of Cost / Benefit and finding the balance... my messages are open if you can help out π
quick question. bitcoin sell or keep?
@grim geode im exactly where at this point myself. i started using tri zips ; tv-110 rigs (23 slots and armor class 4) with weapon loadouts for around 150ishk and it pays out ALOT. it hurts when you die but usually you just need one raid to get the cost back in and after that its pure profit due to the sheer amount of stuff you can loot
for sure u want the biggest backpack u can afford
the more space the more money per raid
looking for someone who can help me with the guide quest im struggling with it on my own
What is the order of selling to the traders again? I heard it from a streamer the other day but don't remember :x
ragman, jaeger, therapist, mechanic, prapor, peacekeeper, skier
Therapist/jaeger, ragman, mechanic I think
I don't have jaeger yet π¦ but ragman before or after therapist? seems like you two disagree π haha
it doesn't matter
They donβt buy the same stuff
Pretty sure you can do therapist, mechanic, and ragman in any order
Ah
Ragman also buys cases for more than Therapist
i mean i don't even have access to the flea market yet π i most likely don't have anything that valuable to sell
if u compare prices for a bit
So therapist then ragman or mechanic (prapor just buys grenades and pk mostly info items, donβt sell to skier)
Is there a threshold for what people usually wait to sell on flea market?
threshold?
like a minimum amount of value
like I'd imagine it's more common to just vendor a bank robber rig than market it even though it's worth twice the amount on the flea market
For me if flea gives 2x what traders do or 10k more (depending on price)
but clearly I'll hold my lavs key that's 55k to trader and 210k on flea
i usually do what @lapis mauve said
if its not 2x or like 10k more then i rather not waste my time
You need to be careful too, flea taxes can sometimes make an item worth less than traders give
i love playing this game but the stash is going to be the death of me π
some people sell stuff on the market for less than a vendor will buy it
i recommend to get a scav box
if u gonna be saving stuff for quest
if u have any weapons or armor in your stash that you are afriad of lossing
u might aswell sell it \
cause a gun does nonthing if it stays in your stash 24/7
I don't even know what guns are good tbh
^
Dont let the gear fear keep you from using things. If you dont use it, just sell it
for me it's more being scared of selling something that is worth a lot on the flea market
Most guns are at least useable, just use the best ammo you can. Try different guns (in offline if you donβt want to lose them) to figure out what you like
unless u get from scav boss or raiders
amo
Battle buddy app and several websites have price checkers for flea
yea ammo is the defining factor in fights
yea can have no armor but decent ammo and if u get a drop on someone u probably will win that
Especially if they have ammo that pens lvl 5/6 armor. No armor isnβt really a disadvantage vs them
are links okay here?
yea
sell colpac hemet
^^^
sell propane
get scav junkbox
sell all of thoes rigs
and your eod is your whole stash just full of that stuff
isnt propane one i should hold for the market?
propane is whorthles now
ahh
oh your not 10
yeah i'm only level 5
what leve
lmao
sell rigs to ragman
and some of the armor
alot of new players keep all their rigs and shit
the salewa/woods scavs quests are killing me for leveling up
but it takes up so many spaces
ok
if you get fuel for your hideout you can craft salewas in the medstatopm
ahh i think i have a couple fuels
or if you find "raid" bug spray trade in with therapist
i was holding onto them because i didnt know how long they would last if i put them in
You can put fuel in generator, start crafting, turn it off to save fuel. It will take longer to craft
it looks like it lasts 15 hours per fuel tank so i may as well just leave it on until i get the quest done
oof i'm glad i joined this discord hahaha ya'll are very helpful π thank you
so pretty much all rigs and armour should be sold you said nate?
or are any of them kidna "good" ones i want to keep
nod
If you will use the armor in the next 3-5 raids keep it. Sell rigs because you can buy bank robbers
i think someone told me i should keep a couple of the FIR ones for a quest later
thoes are blackrocks and idk if you have thoes
Blackrock, keep 2 fir
they are easy to find though so
Wt rig you need too but those are very common
pro tip too, i wouldent recomend playing with the people here in lfg, alot of them will do shady stuff to your gear if you die and take it. they are also huge loot fiends.
play with people you trust and who dont really care about the loot as much
where they would toss your insured gear before looting u know
nod
sadly all my friends who play that i bought the game to play with live in australia so the ping limit wrecks me π but i don't really mind solo play
when is the scav junkbox available?
you can buy it off the flea market
for cheaper than what therapist sells for
pretty sure on that
so basically just gotta hit 10
yea
guess i gotta get into woods again then -_- i prefer customs/interchange haha. i get rekt on woods so often
oh well
Does anyone elses game fail to load Reserve (and only reserve) and just crash each time you try to load it up online?
nope
you can try hiding for 10-15 min for more of the players to leave/die
I literally can't play Reserve for some reason despite every other map working
have you validated files
I did before yeah I'll try again
what servers do you play on
Any good slugs I can buy?
ap-20
exept
there arent that many good slugs you can buy starting off int eh game
EU/US
paleuva 6 slugs are decent
From EU but been playing US with others
the rest don't pen lvl 3 or are for leg meta
8.5 is amazing yeah
