u can keep trying until you stop jumping or panicking when theres a grenade
and also learn to speed up certain actions
like loading mags while the heal animation is up
unload the gun and reload the gun using left and right clicks while youre healing
min maxing time spent, u can figure out that while youre being in constant stress and being pushed by scavs that throw nades, master that, you'll be in good shape @hot coyote

thanks bro
np
Does anyone wanna help out a broke level 4 player?
@knotty skiff time to have some fun π
and my game is stuck on windowed mode now xd
y
what an expensive and under powered kit lol
hope you can make a recording of using it. I suck with bolt action and pistol rounds
lol
if your shit at the game dont bring out kits like that
its not that good and cost alot
you can just use a budget gun thats good
i was gonna do what Bun told me, practice against scavs
i know
I figured you were confident in it.
im just gonna use this to fuck around against scavs on a offline raid
oh
fuck no dude i aint gonna run it with a class4 helmet and class 3 gear with 9mil rounds
Do I lose my stuff if I die in offline mode?
nope
ah ok
only advice I have is mpx/mp5 pistol rounds drop Short of minimum spawn distance... just under 100 range... got me killed couple times... the 700 is fine a sniper... Bolt action is biggest draw back for me... needs m61 for headshots on good helms though. SNB is so common though... flies tiny bit further. so tend to snipe with it.
but if your new. nothing wrong with running what you have.
settings and possibly launcher settings. tech support would know more
i made it windowed and now its so big i cant reach setttings
launcher aint got the setting no more
well yeah but the game in the small window becomes bigger
default resultion sometimes push important borders off edge
and in tarkov the settings button is on the bottom right and my taskbar is in front of that
exactly
back to mpx/700 combo. mpx is a tad bit on shorter range and goin off scope 700 will be hard long to maybe cqc hip fire.... your mid range will be difficult... even with a bravo scope. I would bring one or the other... ditch insured gun if I can if caught out numbered or out gunned.
yeah i honestly didnt really think about the kit xd
looking at mp9-n I think it was... might be a flea market cheap~ pistol round short range meta gun... good to maybe class4+... mainly it's fire rate sells it... dunno it's spray size yet. preping test runs.
i guess this would be a better option
just put the bravo on the ak so its mid/close range
and then have the M700 for longrange
Should work. maybe to preserve money take the suppresor from 700 back if it's just to switch with on the run. might be compaitible with a nice m1a or something all round for ya. Usually stick to a single primary... extra slot for loot.
anyone eu and wants to play realy need help xD
yeah true that
im def not gonna run with any of this on my own, since im not confident enough ill make it out
ooh hi Spectan
if i had your confidence i would be running with my good stuff
its my first actually wipe tho, so im more just tryna learn as much information
whats with this game and spawning me late into games
I spawn minutes late into interchange and I stand no chance against the people inside already
you have a ssd?
Im loading in fast, it just spawns me into game that have already started
well if he was doing scav runs it would make sense
im not
Hello, I'm looking for someone to introduce me to reserve. I'd like to learn and play the map more often. I'm lvl 35, Red Rebell available, kinda 0 Reserve experience. Interchange is my home PepeHands. I'm 25 would be nice to have someone a bit "older" around this age as well.
I just started making the vpx flash storages in hideout and it takes 46 hours with fuel on
Yes
rip to mr mechanics quest
Eh, he just gotta wait a bit
Use it and craft more meanwhile
i run single primary, then a handgun cause when sniping, i might get snuck up on and the 5-7 is nasty
Is Mr. Holodilnick thermobag worth to keep? Cuz I found it in Marked Room on Customs and I don't know if I should sell it or keep it.
If you wanna store stuff like Superwater/Moonshine... whatever. Food stuff, then it is worth having one (I bartered mine with JΓ€ger)
But if you have nothing like that, sell it for good money
Ok
is there anything in the hideout not worth upgrading?
I guess you could go without Shooting Range and instead go offline to test guns quickly
The rest has a use one or another way
Also Stash only needs to be lvl 2
3&4 are luxury
Anybody wanna help a nub complete the intro quest for jaeger?
Is this used for any quests?
@spice oasis Sure
the one where you have to get his note from his treehouse?
Helping/teaching new players the basics of the game. DM me if interested. I am NA East coast.
can anybody give me a somewhat affordable svd setup for punisher 6?
completely naked?
It still shoots fine without the fancy bells and whistles. And yes in the nude
Gotta distract those PMCs
reduces recoil
no I know
It kicks so much I am not sure that will matter much
i'm not used to taking guns completely naked
Can I do the RR trade threw the flea market or it is required to have jaegaer lvl 3 ?
If a player is offering a barter or selling it, you can do it that way
what map you reckon I should play?
Ok nice because I got a lot of the loot for but as a lvl 6 with few quest jager lvl 3 feels far
i think that optic needs a mount to attach it onto a picatinny
whats it called do you know ?
do you have flea?
if you do, you can right click the red dot, and linked search for it
nope not yet π¦
How often would modded pump shotguns (MP-133, M870 currently iirc) get returned through insurance? How about with no mods?
I don't pick them up
Can any sherpa move me please?
I'm a fan of pump shotguns IRL, so I'm thinking of trying them. I know there are much better guns out there for Tarkov, of course.
m4
Shotguns are pretty meh.
ak
AP-20 builds are nasty tho
what happens with insurance if you get a lot of items the next day will it fill your inventory and you lose some ?
can confirm ap20s slap
@bold kernel are you saying what happens to insrance you don't have room for? It has a timer until it's gone. Up to you to make space or leave it.
can I sell it from
where I pick them up
ive never gotten an item back yet
My biggest issue with ak is the fire rate. So many raids with drum mags with good bullets and either rapid fire or lucky head shots end me faster. while I'm still ratatata through my first rounds on sudden encounters. Like a good rpm or strong enough bullet to three tap
@bold kernel I don't understand. Sell them in raid when you pick them up? No not atm.
insurance takes more then a day to return mostly.
because ive insured things today will they just fill my inventory tomorrow ?
and depending how you die. Ppl will keep your stuff if it's good.
or do I have to collect them from a place
it was just sks's
in dorms so I guess people wont take it
Oh. A new window opens with available insurance returns from prapor
dorms pretty popular area... unless you got common loot. good place to lose stuff.
check messages from prapor for when he returns your items
ah okay makes sense tyty
Which items should I always insure?
Can I bum a gamma of someone? :p
anyone got tips for the jaeger tremor quest?
@whole egret what u mean bum
or just dont heal broken arm or leg from previous raid
what should I be doing with hideout
I feel like I just wasted a lot of cash
with no return
I'd say the place that heals you and recovers your energy
other than that nothing else for early game
Getting the crafting places is good as well for found in raid items apparently
I just wanna get better...its just not happening on my own
Same dude Idk I'm trying to get my friends to play the game
well im on NA.. we can die together lol...i got keys for interchange if any experienced plays wanna help some guys.
I'm down to play together lol just don't expect me to be good
its all good...π
if i were to make classic matches would you guys want a printable folding template? (matches not included)
real life version of this
also i was gonna pick up some crucifix style and lever tumbler keys because they're the marked keys
bt or bp?
there is only one caliber with both those rounds
@median spire it doesnt really matter both pretty similar but bt is tracer
Hello, could some nice person help me get Windham Weaponry Rail Gas Block from Mechanic LL2 as I don't have it unlocked yet?
much appreciated
What region are you?
Perfect. Any preference on map?
Let's just do Customs - 11:21. Name is Ralta - invite me?
Actually 1 sec
Just threw it in a backpack so it doesn't disappear on the ground or w/e.
gotcha, loading
Ditto.
there were many more π
lol aren't there always?
but I got my item, much appreciated
No worries my dude
my first group experience π you'll be remembered
Was hoping Dorms V-Ex would be open π€·
Is there a case where u can put food in it?
How come my scav gets stuck at awaiting sessions start 50% of the time?
he is scared to fight maybe
for svd kills what maps do you recommend?
Carrying any map! HMU
Anyone with Skier LL2 and/or Peacekeeper LL2 can sell me or put some items on the flea market for me? trying to do gunsmith part 2
will pay a markup
Cant put stuff up from traders
how much is the shoreline room 108 key worth
CAN someone help me with chemical part 1
@ashen yoke Let me know what you need and I can probably bring them into a raid for you.
@young path According to Tarkov Market, around 40k
okay thanks
@bold kernel What do you need?
just someone to go into cutoms with but im tired of tarkov right now so u can just add me if interested
Even when I try to play safe I get fucked. If I even get shot at I run away because I can't kill anything with the garbage ammo I can get. But still get one or 2 shotted with armor. Game seems impossible some times, like no matter how much time I spend playing I'll never be good enough.
Yea, I'm trying to get to 10 but only getting a ~100 xp a raid (tasks? lol) means it takes a lot of dying.
@opaque garnet PS ammo for 7.62 is viable in early game
You won't penetrate the best armour, but it's enough to put down most people.
sure doesn't seem like it, hit a dude twice once in the face and he just shrugged it off and put one bullet into me and i died
kinda ridic that a bullet to the face doesn't equal death
Depends on what armour he was wearing etc. If he had a face shield, it's possible the bullet was stopped.
If he had a helmet, the round can ricochet.
Head shots are generally not the way to go unless you have a high-pen round like 7.62x54r
Doesn't matter anyways, even if they stood there and just let me shoot I couldn't kill them. I run away, but most of the time they follow or just kill me before I can do anything
Impossible to get tasks done
It's rarely better to run away; you show your back, making yourself an easy target.
Well then im fucked
Firing back puts people under pressure, making their aim worse etc.
can't kill, can';t run, cant loot, cant do tasks
You need to practice more, mate.
We all gotta start somewhere!
You'll get the hang of it, I promise./
yea, go into raid, run,m die, repeat = getting better?
80 hours later and I'm still in the exact same spot
I mean, I don't expect to be god but I'd like to not be the worst player ever
Get into Raid, recognise how loud certain sounds are, start to distinguish different gun sounds, hear footsteps and get the drop on someone, put them down first, get gear, find more people, kill one or two, killed by the third.
2-4k experience.
Only in my dreams lol
Sometimes you'll get out with loads of loot, sometimes you'll get out with almost nothing, often you'll die.
Stick with it. Learn the maps, learn the weapons and ammo.
Try Interchange, for example.
Some of the high traffic areas in the middle of the mall are a bit nuts, but going to somewhere like IDEA or Oli can get you decent loot and you might only encounter a player or two, at most.
@torn ledge you wanna do that now? I can bring you 10k roubles to trade
But you'll fight some Scavs, which will get you used to fighting.
@opaque garnet have you looked into finding a sherpa to help?
@ashen yoke Remind me what you need again? And don't worry about the cash.
I need the Tapco grip for the aku and the pt lock
I have, but I don't wanna put people out, or get them killed.
Black, right? @ashen yoke
And I don't know when I'll be on and when I won't so I don't know what to put down for schedule
anyone wanna play customs/reserve im lvl 3
you can just hop in looking for group while youre on and say youre looking for some help, i may be free in a bit for some raids
True
i did, but it may have been a different server.
Flip I can try
I think I would feel worse getting someone else killed more than myself
lvl 7
@ashen yoke Aight I'm ready. What map and time?
customs day
Aight, I'm there.
I'll stick 'em in my backpack and drop it. I'll be heading to an extract, so you're welcome to follow me or do your own thing π
Yeah Ill roll with you to extract
π
Im geared up though so im down to take a fight if we come across one
I've only brought a Sr1mp, so I'll do what I can but no promises π
what are good rounds to have
Im using 9mm rn lmao
shot this dude 5 times for 125 his armor absorbed 175 l
RIP
Sad times π
I assume you stashed the goods?
@bold kernel Each caliber has a variety of ammo types; some are better at penetration, some are better at dealing damage to flesh. If you're using 9mm, the '6.3 AP' is best for penetration, but won't go very far. 'RIP' ammo on the other hand does massive flesh damage, so you can shoot people in the arms/legs no matter how much armour they have.
yeah i did ^_^
Check this out for a deeper guide to different ammo types etc:
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics
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...
I know it's not the whole game but where should my survival rate be at? Like, what would it be for a noob?
Haha np
what's a good budget stock for ak's? I have been using the zhukov as it's amazing but kind of pricey
and the RK-1 foregrip but that's a little high in price too
RK-0 is great, I honestly just use a polymer stock with a recoil pad.
I have a really nice build for 74-U's
sec
I'm level 6 and this has been working fabulously for me
God damn that foregrip is fucking ugly, def looks like a good build tho 
If it works it work
it's just the best foregrip I currently have
I'm using pretty expensive ammo too though
7N39
Isnt that the best ammo type for 545?
as far as I know yes
just to fill that 60 mag it was like almost 80k
worth, though
can kill glukhar pretty easily and his bois
I just started this game a few weeks ago and can only play maybe 3-4 times a week which is why I'm so low level
I just started playing 2 days ago 
Im a noob at this game anyone wanna teach me
play a lot of factory when you first start
that's what I did
will get you accustomed to the combat quickly and has a good risk/reward
I run my pmc on customs/factory/(sometimes) reserve, and run my scav and interchange and shoreline
I would do reserve more but it scares the fuck out of me, all those juicers
factory or interchangfe are both good maps to start on
lol factory
maybe if you already know the layout and spots people go and have good aim and don't mind dying a lot for little loot
interchange is big schmoney if you know where to look
Even if you only get a few thousand roubles from cash registers it's better then nothing
Do naked runs to rush into the red room on interchange. Might be lucky enough to get a tetriz
Isnt a tetriz really only useful if you sell it on the flea market?
...no
u can just trade it in for a bitcoin normally
no reason to put it up unless youre trying to get flea market rep
ik you can get a mp7 with bitcoin but what other use does a btc have?
Iβm not exactly a beginner more of a failed abortion can someone help
Mpx any good? Iβm new
Okay got it
anyone need help getting into tarkov?
Anyone got tips for customs
where is a good area for a decent player to go? I am not longer complete crap but not good so avoiding the high tier areas
is higher the MOA good or lower?
lower
thanks
@abstract lotus Depends on your playstyle and what you're trying to do
Is it quests? Just lootin and scootin? Do you want to raze hell and shoot and be shot?
@tiny stag Reserve has good loot, decent fights, but lots of rats + red rebel is kinda needed
But I'd say it's a good map to do
what is red rebel @native vessel ?
@tiny stag It's a melee weapon that is required with the paracord for certain extracts
one on woods and one on reserve
ohhh for the cliff descent?
well, the new exfil on reserve really helps
would no longer say RR is a necessity
though stil preferable
Anyone just so rich in this game they feel like throwing some roubles at me? I wanna buy 10 Mosins lol
but im dead broke
no armor no backpacks just mosins π
anyone so bored they wanna help a level 7 out? trying to get my quests done to get to level 2 traders
I keep getting attacked by people who hide in bushes the entire game :p
i have enough to buy an items case from therapist, is it worth the almost 1.4 mil? or no
sorry 2mil
depends whether or not you sell items @carmine sierra
what do you mean?
your playstyle
if you hoard items yeah its deffo worth
if you just liquidate stuff dont bother wit it
at least until you're high level because therapist gives you a thicc case for about 3 mil eventually
where to buy the cheapest shotguns
is anyone here willing to teach me how to be better i have a few hours in the game and know customs well
i can hit most of my shots
@vestal folio Are you trying to find people to run with or just general advice?
someone to run with and show me how to be better
i have pretty ok game sense
and im a decent shot
oh gotcha. I think theres a Sherpa thing to help out new players and honestly id reccomend watching some youtube videos while you are waiting to load into a game
mp9 good or trash for budget run?
good
load some good flesh dmg rounds in and go for legs
you will shred
I run RIP in it, but those are pricey
I'm very new to the game watched alot of begginer guides to get a general idea of stuff my one main question is though what do u focus on when just starting the game besides trying to survive raids
@uncut magnet I would just focus on learning maps / map knowledge while doing quests. Ultimately quests help you level, get rep, and get higher traders to buy more stuff, etc
Ok should I be worried about the hideout at all off the hop or just keeping starter .oney for gear and healing
Some of the early hideout stuff is pretty cheap
53 recoil on MP9 any good?
sounds like alot
Any body willing to let a newbie rock with them? I play lots of games, just got this one.
As a brand new player should u be going in with gear on ur pmc or going in like just pistol/ couple meds couple clips, to explore try to scavenge scav stuff etc
learn the maps first and foremost, no point in being good if you cant get out
That's what I thought mainly going in scav or pmc with like no gear
anyway to tell from just looking at it in the flea market
@burnt breach usually if the scope has something like "1x/6x" it's a variable zoom optic
Or something like "4-16x"
how to get over major losses after losses
Learn from mistakes
Take a lighter load and work on playing safer until your back on track.
not a beginner but new to the wipe can anyone help me with the stopwatch quest? need someone to use the key
need a carry
hey all, my friend is having an issue
he can't turn in gunsmith part 10
but he definitely did fold the stock
does it have the front sight?
he said yes
ah he said he has a bullet in the chamber that put the weight over
thanks!
2 cheeses and an army bandage is meta
all iv ran this wipe
well...that and propitol
hey guys how do you find scavs on interchange? need to do the decontamination service quest (30 scav kills while wearing respirator and shit body armour)
I've tried outskirts and garage but I don't find much, then I tried kiba but so many players around it
ouch.
all mango needs is mango, not cheese, did u not fucking read his name? /s
4 interchange runs now and I've only killed 1 scav π¦
Mango, hit the spawn next to you and then hide, not all scavs spawn at the start
for example if you spawn near the traintracks where all the jaeger stashes are you can check the roadblock thingy for scavs kill them and then go back in hide in one of the bushes for 15-20 minutes
when you emerge most players will have left, there will usually be a bunch of player scavs instead and most of the scavs will have respawned by then
@ocean fable thanks heaps! and from there where do you recommend is best going to? I heard that you can get waves of scavs at the kiba store
it depends where I spawn but at the start you usually find scavs at the before mentioned roadblock thing, front of idea, front of oli and sometimes in the garages under the mall
once a little time has passed I recommend hitting powerstation and goshan
Is wiki broke?
?
I believe he meant: is wiki broken?
can anyone help walk me through this introduction quest?
idk where to go
i like need to know where on the map i gotta go
i play mostly factory and customs, however i am looking at a map and just running through woods
i do not know where the crashed airplane is
what servers do you play on?
us
I would love to help out but I am EU and almost all US servers (except Washington and Chicago) are over 100 ping for me
well thats fine i can maybe join you ? i can handle 100 ping it aint to bad
if you would like I could try to show you the location on my servers but I take no responsibility for lag
meet me in the voice channel 2 man squad 2
Hey, does someone experienced want to help me out a bit? I have played a few hours already (like 15h); thanks!
(West EU) English/Ger
Lag can work in his favour canβt hit him if he isnβt there βΊοΈ

does anyone know if theres anything decent to craft for profit in the hideout?
level up your workbench @dusky shell
then u can craft bp ammo with one green gunpowder and 120 7.62 bp sells for about 900 roubles per so u make about 100k every time
there is others like making vpx's in intel center but there expensive to start with and ithink you need lvl 2
not really now tbh mags cases used to be good but they are so cheap rn
@dusky shell profitable crafts in the workbench, Green Gunpowder (if you can buy m67 from peacekeeper), BP Bullets and Igolnik bullets. Intelligence center you will get most profit from either crafting graphics cards or Folder with Intelligence. Producing superwater and Lucky Scav Moonshine can be profitable too. I recommend you make your sugar yourself using alyonka its cheaper
also the blue lab stims can be profitable depending on how much they go for atm and on the current prices of the mats
You can run your generator for free using expeditionary fuel tanks 24/7
basically what you do is buy at least 2 of them, once they are empty you can use them along with some other mats to craft a magbox in your lavatory. allowing you to sell it and make all money back from spending on the fuel
it doesnt make much profit itself but allows you to run your generator 24/7 with no losses and even slight profit
wich makes all your other crafts more profitable
thanks alot for those amazing answers! much appreciated
Any beginners need any help atm?
@bold kernel scav runs on factory is best bet for the shotgun (if you dont have flea market, they dont need to be FIR). Plus if you can find some fuel, best is to get hideout with generator and med station lvl 1, and craft the salewas there
oh I found some fuel
I dont know factory at all I played it once it lasted 5 seconds I spawned in killed someone then go shot in the back π
That's the prime factory experience
how do i download and buy the game?
I just got put into a customs map with about 1:30 left on the clock?
Is that a bug?
Servers going down for update
Ah
@upper spoke https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/
register > Buy game > Download > Login > Play
so the update wasnt the 12.7 patch right? I havent had the chance to get on the game yet
Naw
aww 
someone wanna help me use keys on reserve? I've 3 keys so far, RB-SMP, RB-BK, RB-RLSA
help u use keys???
yeah, like help us both stay alive long enough to use the keys, there is loot in it for both
MFW Scav boss spawns weird and I get ruined
im stuck on that fucking hand tremor quest from jaeger
any tip on how to do it quickly?
@vale stream 'Easiest' way is to get either
A: Your arm with a fracture, popping a painkiller, waiting 40 sec (even after joining a new raid) and then going for headshots
or
B: get dehydrated, pop a Propital (probably a few over the course of the quest) and then do headshots
Both Fractures and Dehydration cause Tremor
Alternatively, pop some drugs or alcohol, but that is a short duration with long delay, so... not so effective, imo
NP π
its gonna be hard with my shitty aim lol
Iam on that too.
I dont care enough about JΓ€ger to bother
Fastest map, as so often with non specific kill quests, is Factory, sadly.
i just need to do this one to get enough rep
to get the water filter
and finish my hideout
so annoying ffs
is there a way yof refilling empty fuel tanks?
nope
anyone for scav run on factory so I can pick up 133 shotgun :d
a 133 ?
I was like wtf I think yo got ripped off
I did my last tremor headshot yesterday π A guy on night interchange was on the canopy above Oli loading bay and I one tapped him in the head π
is there a spreadsheet or something showing all of the hideout profits?
@minor pendant Try this:

Escape From Tarkov Hideout Profit Calculator
ty bb @torn ledge
π
hi i just purchased escape from tarkov and went into a scav run, im not going to lie i am totally clueless to what to do and what is that.
so extract
search for the map that your on and then press dobbel o to see your extracts
aye ive done that on woods
but i was shot in the leg and died because of my movement and didnt take any medical
cool
anyone know the best map to make money on other than reserve (the fps is horrendous)
Arguably, Shoreline has the most spawns for very rare/expensive items, but the majority of these spawns are behind locked doors.
Interchange is a good map for making some cash. Much lower risk, too.
could someone throw an aks74u pt lock up on flea? I dont have skier ll2 and i need it for gunsmith pt2
nvm got it
ty tho
LF someone to help me do the woods jager quest as i keep getting killed near extract im level 10 and EU pls dm me
Just try and do it passively, or queue for a single server at night time with a friend or two to try and cheese it
There are plenty of people in the discord that will help out
And how could you cheese it tho
queue up at the same time for a single server at night time and you reduce the player pool, and then just give it a few goes trying to meet up on the map
Oh gotcha
@velvet sundial youβre going to need to watch some videos on what to do and some research on the maps youβre going to play
heya im not very experienced and heard there was a wipe soooo anyone wanna hop in ? Im completely fresh with loot and money. also eu
any reccomendation for a cheap armor and helmet which can save me from onetaps?
@desert compass what is ur budget ?
ok thanks @late fulcrum
Like 90k per raid
can go up to 120k
Cause I'm still a noob and I don't want to loose all my cash in 3 raids
There isn't one
Unless you get hot in the armor by buckshot nothing cheap is going to do anything for you besides prevent you from being "Tagged and cursed" by AI
I'm tagged and cursed by pmc
scavs are easy kills for me
during a fight with pmc which had sks I was one taped even when I had this green helmet and level 5 armor
Yes
thats why
Bad pick?
sks is high power
no the steel helm is my go to for low budget runs
it just wont stop much
good ammo in sks with poke right through
What could you reccomend me?
only pick fights you know you can win
Which armor and helmet do you use in budget runs?
steel helm and ulley tactical rig
anyone know any good ways to get steady money?
Scavs runs on interchange are my way to go just loot and avoid every fight if you are not afraid of night runs it's a good way
@primal flicker Stash locations help me early on a bit... can usually find a couple purple loot items to secure... otherwise deadicate time to 'loot runs'... youtube has plenty
scav runs on interchage is actually good
it also helps you get oriented with the map
hatchet stashing is also good
hope you've got EOD though
all I've got is alpha
how many graphics cards should I have in my farmer before leaving fuel on?
kairon i think you earn money with only 1 gpu, more gpus more money ofc though
but you need to use up fuel to have it active, so I was wondering how many i need for it not to be a money sink
as i said, 1 gpu should be sufficient to make money, you wont make a lot but you wont lose any
1 gpu takes 20 hours for one bitcoin though, and in 20 hours I think more than 115k(?)(bitcoin price) of fuel is used
idk tho, maybe your right
no, metal fueltank is 25 h of fuel and costs 90k
oh ok, sorry
no worry mate!
thanks!
also, how does one make the superwater? what do you need to put in to make it
Filter I think
Water filter @rough hare
ah ok thanks
Also if you use the expedition fuel tank you can turn it into a mag box to recoup you costs
thats what i'm doing at the moment π
@bold kernel thanks
Scav runs and offline map learning are good too as pointed out.
Why is sound so broken in this game?
Looking for a guide/back up for interchange duo/trio
Quick question: I was a scav, killed a player scav, and didn't get aggro'd by scavs. Did I just get lucky? Or did the guy I kill likely already kill another scav? He only had a pistol on him..
Did he have a dogtag
mm don't remember seeing one no
Then he was a player scav
right but aren't scavs supposed to attack me if I kill a player scav?
AI scavs aggro from killing any scav I thought?
anyone wanna run some woods need scav kills
There are a couple flags involved to keep ai scav friendly. usually you have to be hit first. and second I imagine there is a certain range or zone you have to be inside of to trigger the ai hostility.
I think it's random and if a scav is near you to get aggro
anyone tryna learn factory this map was on the reddit most simplistic map imo
does reloading snipers with mags level sniper skill?
Im pretty sure if u kill a player scav normal scavs dont become agressive
Kill any scav and you are marked. Some time with a suppressed weapon when no one witnessed the kill you can get a way with it but rarely
yeah but not a player scav tho right?
scav lives matter
scav on scav violence is the plight of humanity
I know it's not a LFG channel, but I would love if someone could guide me through shoreline and woods to finish Cult and Lend Lease quests.

HELLO, i have a question ... so me and a friend of mine have the red rebel pick and we enjoy runing reserve and we have a new member can i buy him a RR or will we get banned
i have a question... can i be a member as well?
depends how u give it to him
I wouldn't trade a roler for that
You can make a pretty good AK for the same price
or at least 50k less
not worth a roler imo, but it's a good gun, can get the same one off killa
@valid meadow i wouldnt drop one for him just help him get the money for the barter trade
@valid meadow dont risk it, if caught ull probably get a temporary ban
what nAte said.
Is the best way to get shrouds mask through moonshine and farming scavs on factory?
HELLO, i have a question ... so me and a friend of mine have the red rebel pick and we enjoy runing reserve and we have a new member can i buy him a RR or will we get banned
@valid meadow Apprently you have to drop your stash value by 20million in one shot to get flagged but idk π€·
a guy got banned for dropping a dupe sicc case to his friend at the start of the round and got a 5 - 6 month ban
i have never played the game nor watched anything about it, im wondering if anyone can help me learn the game and show me the basics?
yeah same i just got the game 1 week ago
learn a single map first and try do your tasks
ok thanks for the info
is it worth buying the 800k key for lend lease?
Mmmmm, yeah, I've got it, or u can ask someone in lfg to do the quest w/u
so not worth it to buy it then?
yo im about to buy tarkov but ima only have one friend that plays it, is it still worth it?
how do you kno what is worth taking off a gun ?
after playing a lot you can tell normally @simple shell
wow okay so theres no special technique like always take sight or stuff like that
@split prism its up to you, but you can always find others to play with on here
some sights sell for a lot, some are garbage
anybody wanna run with a noob lol
i don't know if there is a technique, maybe, idk
sure killa but im a noob myself
that's fine no worries
what voice chat do u wanna join
i got a gun but when i click edit and go to buy theres no items for sell .? am i doing something wrong
2 man 18 for now is cool
Can you just go in with a friend and hatchet each others limbs over and over and heal to gain strength?
Ye
man i just buy some expensive armor and now i dont wanna go out with it -.- fml (noob moment) -.-
find a group, if you die, you can have a person dump your good armor for insurance
i thaught the more you pay for a gun the bettter it is i got a remmington r11 and it dosent even spray -.- its tap fire FML
Do scav bot forget that you killed their mate or no ?
Jsut did a scav run, killed a bot and then walked to the dorms, their a bot scav looked at me didn't shoot, he just kept wandering around
XD
Helping new players learn the game. (NA region.) DM me and if I am free/have a slot I will help you.
anyone help me learn interchnage?
anyone wanna come construction with me on customs before I
π
Is there any site where I get some weapon builds?
Anyone wanna play duos? Eu region
I need a little help π My stash is filled to the brim with stuff and I want to get rid of a good amount of it, but I don't know what to keep and what to sell.
I new anybody wanna do tasks?
what ones you got π ?
lvl just looking for someone to raid with
Can anyone help me with learning the game? I am only level 10 and i am only accustomed to Customs and would like help to shoot better and check corners?
lol I just had the same thought
@wild musk Custom is only for quests and maybe the marked room. There's not much loot on custom. Right now I would recommend get familiar with reserve and do some knife run
You can also go shoreline and find the hidden stash
Check the youtube video about hidden stash
Once you get more money buy keys for reserve
If he wants to do quests that is not very helpful for him
i've heard that Reserve is a place for high levels
no it's not
avoid some area
you die a couple times you know where is the hot zone and avoid them
It takes time to learn
of course
If this was the start of the wipe I would recommend shoreline
If you wanna do quest sure custom is fine
But I am talking about making money and get good gear
He wants help to shoot better and get better.
This is how you make money.
...
you want carry a pistol and shoot better>
thats my main goal
I havent done a real money run this wipe and got proper guns and ammo.
You dont need money for that, but doing Quests for level and Reputation
Exactly. Not saying thats wrong.
And while you did give him information, it was not what he asked for :P
he was asking shoot better
i was telling him make money and good gear
so he doesn't have to headshot everytime
that's my point
I don't think being Shroud is something i can teach
like a aimbot
He wants to get better at shooting, not headshot everytime.. even tho that would be nice.
He basically wants to know how to get better at PvP. The practical part
My flash are in my pocket and M67 in my rig, if I push G key will it throw nades from the pocket first or the rig ?
@wild musk on that topic, have you applied for a sherpa?
If not, do !sherpa
@arctic kraken rig, then pocket, also for ammo
where should i type that?

Maybe you get lucky and someone has time.
Depending what it is (and who for what), they really know their stuff.
@river zephyr keep
later on its a quest for ragman
find in raid ones are ones you should keep
if it's not classified as found in raid then just dump it to therapist
Even if it isnβt, itβs definitely one of those items worth keeping over other βjunkβ
that's me personally though
as a brand new player i find it impossible to learn customs and what i should be trying to loot first. should i be doing offline raids to start until i kmow the loot spawns?
customs and factory are kind of killzones
Interchange is better imo
@agile epoch learn multiple paths through extracts and different locations first
for newbies
interchange is better for me
No, he needs customs for quests
interchange is so scary
Interchage is just good to go or onetap from heaven
so if you're too afraid to go in just stay outside and find loot
theres all the crates in the warehouse by old gas station that i go to
but that seems too dangerous?
@agile epoch learn things like, where do I go to find scavs, where do I go when I hear shooting in front of me, whereβs a hole in the fence I can go through
Warehouses are useless for quests, except big red barn
fence holes were weird but im getting them down now
Not worth worrying about for a very long time unless youβre wanting to search every little weapon box and tool box
so focus on quests not getting gear first?
Yes
U can get gear using scavs
Learning map > quests > loot
In terms of going to a map to do things
ok any rec for who's quests tp do first? i was doing therapist but that seems slow for a first one
At the start do every single one of them
You wanna do as many as possible in the beginning
I... basically said that :<
All quests are good to do, some are harder u can ignore for a bit, but definitely not the starter tasks
ok ill keep praying for salewas lol
First 10-20 quests u get are must doβs
Iβll help u on salewas later Iβm busy and outside
Will u be on in 1-2 hours?
im not sure tbh but we'll see
If u can, get someone to give u fuel
@agile epoch you can craft them, if you have fuel
Then craft generator lvl 1 and med station lvl 1
they spawn pretty common in Oli
Use the fuel to craft salewas
Dang it Bobby thatβs my advice :<
/s but itβs good to see a Sherpa actually helping
whats the point of factory, just to quick extract as scavs or commit suicide as pmc?
thats the real killbox
Factory for quests, and PvP
its like a TDM map its so hotzone
Farming scavs is finally a thing for factory with a 5 man squad, but still has its risks
it really does if you don't have a coordinated team
Itβs good for if u scav in, just want a quick gun and load out, get in, be careful, check your corners and leave
last time I went in with a 5man we finished the run and I went to check office for stuff and got blasted by my teammate who didn't hear my callout
No matter what squad u have unless you have a hive mind, a 5 man squad will still be hard to coordinate with especially on such a small map
granted he was one of those noisy kids so he probably didn't bother to listen anyway
Thereβs also the possibility of an early spawn for player scav, giving more chaos for the first minutes
i dont have an SSD so ive been spawn killed in factory
Iβve once spawned in as a scav in factory at around 18 minute mark
i guess if you know the PMC spawns you can rush them
Yes itβs easy for people to rush
Especially if you get in that back room
Itβs stup- hey whereβs the anti spam timer for this chat room?
ive done most of my playing on forest but that map has doodoo loot or at least it seems that way
not unless you kill sherman or whatever his name is
always get sniped too i just feel like there's no real starting place for a noob
I need to do my intro jaeger quest there but I keep getting sniped
so I halted that for a while
Shturman. Close enough ;)
@slim maple wait 2 minutes in a bush, players spawn really close to each other
It is possible to see the players if they walk 5 seconds toward u
did they lower the level requirement to get prapor lev 4?
If its 33, then no
hmm i guess i'm blind i always had lev 4 prapor
Yeah prapor lvl 4, along with therapist lvl 4, are each 33 and 32 respectively
ohhhh i just hit 33
Theyβre not where you expect them to be in terms of lvl 4 unlocks, jaeger being an extreme outlier
yea
Jaeger is 29 yeah?
No.
He is dum and fat :(
No youβre dum and fat :<
Thatβs not how you describe jaeger, the words youβre looking for is: dummy thicc
Well. I know.
But i can at least admit it.
I wish u can interact with wildlife in this game, like hunting, stalking, and gutting deer bear and other wildlife idk whatβs in Russia
hunting a bear with a toz
Pretty sure it would only irritate it
Maybe lose an eye, but only make it more of a badass
Russia has everything.
Deer, hog, wolf, bear.... you name it.
Whats the best way to kill PMC'S in shoreline
So.. every kind
Oi Bun where is my $10
@knotty skiff
I need to survive a raid in shoreline for 2 different quests
I swear last 10 raids I went in I died.
I can play any other map with decent success and luck
but stupid shoreline I always die
Damn that sucks, health care privacy and signal I'm guessing?
somebody halp
spa tour part2, the cult part 1
I tried night 3 times and day idk how many times
Damn, I hate those quests.
I'm just excessively unlucky
Will a run through count as a success for that quest ?
@languid flare 450 xp is the limit
is scav case worth grinding for (currently poor)
Yes, def
Eh, I would say 'I dont know'
If you get lucky: well, of course
But for me so far it has been mostly 'meh'
its the only upgrade I haven't got
just curious if its better to waste all my money on svds for pun. 6 or on the case
any tips for shotgun kills on woods? why is that even a thing lol not on factory oh no in the middle of a woodland when scavs can oneshot you now
scav house and lumber worked for me, depends on where you spawn and if you have any other woods quests though
Ive been running both, Ive killed 3 players and ive only killed 2 scavs
scavs are harder then players ffs
I cant get close
Try slugs, preferred ap-20
Gives your shotgun range
I found that quest alright, took like 2 runs, I just avoided players completely
Yup I only killed the 3 i saw because it was easy and on route but damn those scavs got me every time
definitely avoid the sniper scav, that cuck always headshots my ass
and if you hear shturman, unless your confident, don't bother going near lumber
I am level 37 but still very succ, wish i could help
for some maps π
factory?
definitely learn those before playing xD
lol
factory is one of the easiest to learn, but ruthless sometimes
i played awhile ago and now im just getting back into things. I hear that you now need to kill people to sell loot?
is that true?
quite the opposite, you can vendor all loot however you can only sell things with the found in raid checkmark in the fleamarket. meaning in needs to have spawned in the very raid you enter. If a pmc brings gear into a raid and you kill him that gear will not be found in raid since he brought it in himself
even if he himself found it the previous raid
its supposed to prevent resellers, people buying things from the flea market and reselling them for a higher price causing most good items to be out of stock with the vendors most of the time... but luckily thats in the past
*reselling items from vendors on the flea market
so i can still do a hatchet run and sell to venders? @ocean fable
you can almost always sell to vendors
I think the only exception is when the item is too damaged
thank you!
thats not true
you can vendor broken stuff to fence
every item in the game has a value with the traders
meaning everything can be sold to traders
Hello! My buddy just bought the game for me yesterday and Iβm pretty excited even though Iβve been dying all day. Iβd love for a Sherpa to run SCAVS with to build up my confidence. I also stream on twitch so if I could stream these raids that would be dope, if not itβs cool 
fence buys...everything, but lower than other traders, exceptions being flash drives, and to an extent, SAS drives and other related items
@jaunty forge @rough hare
can your skills go down a lvl or am i trippin? thought i had lvl 2 attention but its at lvl 1 19/29
19/20*
u cant lose skill points but your skills can drop a level, via stims, food items, and other bad passives
what..
double checking if I'm wrong but the memory skill does still exist last I checked. which was a skill that helped maintain skill gain and prevent decay...
I assumed it was a place holder skill, yeah what turban said, like 'charisma' where the discounts and prices dont mean anything
it would be nice if memory was changed to, how many % extra can u learn skill points a raid, the soft cap being 3 or so skill points every raid unless you dont use it for 5 minutes
The only note on it is skill rollback being removed but the memory skill exists so I presume inactive skills slowly decay still.
Considering prices of vendors change to reflect market idk if even charisma is just a place holder or actually reduces prices...
thats probably true, if anything it would decay a very miniscule amount, or its punishing for players who dont play alot
no, I guarantee you that it doesnt reduce prices
I'd like to see the testing done for it...
@bold kernel whats your current charisma skill? we can compare trader prices
2 items per trader, easy test, as long as we dont have the same level we can test this easy
Anyone here that needs help with early quests or just general stuff regarding the game dm me I have a solid group of people and we are looking to take a newer player/s under our wings and teach them to fly.
@digital kernel I'll help u after I confirm a few things, actually maybe you can help
can u tell me how much a paca costs from ragman lvl 1?
level 9... although it's numbers look... off
28k?
could u tell me the exact numbers please?
28367?
no it doesnt
8
if it isnt lvl 11, then yeah, it doesnt change
I have the same price... so charisma might still be place holder.
yeah it changes when you get higher but as far as I know the early cha does not do anything for you
oh my bad, I thought u needed help Rn, whoops
Still leaves question of if memory is also a place holder...
No no I was offering help to those who need it
I assumed you were low lvl so I thought u only had lvl 1 traders my bad XD
some skills are confirmed active... and who knows how much that'll change.
yeah theres that, I cant do any testing with the memory skill, I could possibly check if it will lose any amount over night
I also believe the memory is currently a place holder as it doesnt do anything as of right now your skills dont go down.
if it doesnt lose even 0.1 on, say, lvl 17 perception which is out of 100 points at this rate, then even IF it exists, it wouldnt matter, I'll probably test it with game running off for 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours on, with 8 hours of sleep
I assume it was at a rate of days possibly... some ppl I know rarely play..
"Ran Through" is just an EXP penalty and all stuff gets marked Not-FIR, right?
yes for the most part
those are the biggest down sides for runthrough. and it is easily avoidable. Just wait for 10 mins once you are in and you wont get one. I understand that newer players get like a graphics card or intel and lose their mind but just relax and take it slow and just try to survive and you will get out with that pay day.
anyone else have the delivery from the past quest and want to do it with me so we can watch each others backs?
i have done this quest first day π
i legit am out here struggling to even extract with the case xD
let alone fight my way through factory and plant the damn thing
is 55 fmj or m855 better
I got it first try faded, just play it slow, or if you get the spawn next to the drop off you can run if you want
alr
thats my advice, although I am certainly no sherpa
no joke i been trying that quest since ive started and ive been playing for well over a week now
i cant even extract out of customs without getting shot by a camper with a sniper rifle that i cant even see
I don't know what to say, other than it happens to everyone
well i already queued into the game
oof
who needs help
im getting bored of the game i play maybe one raid a day if that and have 100m stash (dont overplay a game or it will get boring lol) but hmu if you need help ill get you some loot
if you can help me get to level 30 LOL
i am level 26
gotta explore all the interchange stores
yikes !
that quest is pretty easy, you can do it in parts and not 1 go
anyone got the pmc pistol quest?
