already done, just take 57 and go factory
you can check by right clicking your gun and editing preset
anyone able to buy me a sniper mosin i can give the cash for it i just don't got flea market yet dm me
kill a scav that has one
true
umm scav's don't have sniper mosin's
yeah
sorry then dude
getting lvl 10 needs 1-2 hours like lol
I lost internet access, reconnected to raid and I couldn't see my buddy, but he could see me
Any ideas?
reconenct again
Restarting the game doesn't fix it
get your friend to kill you and hide your stuff xD
me and my buddy had the same issue, restarting the game helped
well fuck
its bugged alt+f4 your game or close it via task manager and reconnect again
I just got a code from a friend for the eod edition I put it in and it said it will send me an email with the device ID and I still haven’t got it anyone know what’s going on or what I need to do
I did nothings in there wtf
Yes I have gone back just to make sure it was and it definitely is
It was the full eod version and I already had the basic version so I don’t know if that has something to do with it
oh cool, spawn in and reserve is running like shit as usual
die to a scav
nice one bsg
Are you running on a SSD^?
not running eft on ssd is the worst thing u can do
this gave for me an avrg of 15 fps
How do I extend the foregrip on the MP7?
Anyone from NZ/Aus in here thats new and wants someone to play with?
noob US player looking for someone to run with
Does glucose spawn in or near black pawn?
cause i just got ruined by scavs
yay another 45 second raid
cant, lady is sleeping
rectanglo, I just got the game 2 days ago and im US as well
any one able to buy me a sniper mosin i will pay for it
i just don't got flea market yet
nah i am a really good sniper
trynna get pmc kills
just killed a 4 man sniper only
holy shit
dont use 7.62 nato FMJ
i shot a guy on reserve center mass 5 times from close range
didnt go down
M80 ball ammo, yes
Yeah M80 sucks against class 5
it was BPZ FMJ
m80 has treated me well
The only ammo types worth using for 7.62x51 are the milspec rounds
The .308 civie hunting rounds suck
speaking of that, i have 4 stacks of bt 5.45 and a stack of bs, not level 10 yet
so much cash schmoney
yeah i got a lot of the best ammo for killing geared players
really fun to just one tap people
using a hunter
I got the RB-TB key which gives me free AKs always with a mag of bp or bt ammo
yeah i been playing this game for two years almost every wipe i had the key
but not yet in this one
trynna grind to level 10 by farming pmc's but it is so slow with guns i don't enjoy
uhh..
im level 8.5
i am like level 7 almost 8
massacre scavs on factory
well why dont u put a little bit of effort so u can unlock the flea
we are putting in effort
i literally just laid out a 4 man solo lol wym
not when you religiously use snipers like johnny
you can afford to use a few other weapons to lvl up
Quests are some of the fastest ways to level up
but where is the fun in that if you don't got a good gun
or a gun with no attachments
if i die in labs and my friends picks my stuff and brings it back to me in the next raid can we get banned for that?
cause no one under rank 10 can get a good scope or a good red dot tbh
@barren dome no
he just gotta make it out with your gear
and come back in with it
You could just farm Scav Boss + raiders on reserve.
i am farming pmc's on reserve
they go in geared then get one tapped by a hunter it's sad
but i respect it
Do tracers add more flash to the gun when firing
do offline raids give you xp?
okay was confused when i ended that offline raid
@opal gust they dont add flash, only thing you would see is the tracer after you fired from your scope
hi guys i'm new 🙂
GET 'IM!
Hey fellas, I'm new too, I got the proper Tarkov welcome: 3 headshots from an unkown place

can anyone help me get some pmc kills
How do I give skier my body armor?
Like for a task?
Yeah
Task tab when interacting with him, should have a 'hand in' option for the objective for that task.
“Task tab”?
Click "Dealers" at the bottom, click Skier, click the 'tasks' tab at the top?
Same spot you accept and turn in quests normally.
Then you can click the related task and there'll likely be a 'turn in' button next to the objective.
Oh Ight thanks
Thanks
you guys still playing?
With me wanting to buy my friend standard edition (it says it can be launched anywhere Europe selected) is this within euro itself?
or anywhere like it says
@limber widget From the website:
"WARNING! Purchases are locked to the specific geographic region the purchase was made from. The game can only be launched if your current region is the same where the purchase was made. The only exception is Europe — purchases made in this region will be available to launch anywhere around the world. Your current region is: Europe."
I wonder why this is...
Also: Europe, wooo! 😄
If you have the europe version you should be able to launch from anywhere
I think it's probably more expensive than other regions?
A little bit
!wiki GreenBat
The main reason Europe is able to launch anywhere is because of EU laws that require digital property to be unrestricted.
At least, that's my assumption based on prior experience.
Eu wins once again
is there a noticeable difference when you have 2 graphics cards in the farm compared to one?
I know having more s better, just not sure if its worth to waste money
0.05 + (GC - 1) / 49 * 0.15 items/hour, where GC is the number of installed Graphics card
i guess i cant complete the tasks as a scav?
https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/f2c7to/is_adding_graphics_cards_to_your_bitcoin_farm/
There are break downs on google. But if your counting days for a return of profit then maybe money is still too much a concern to spend on it. As the game stands there is plenty of profit to be made and the hideout is just a way to spend money toward end game goals.
@little compass You can collect found in raid items but directly finding task specific kills or items are PMC only.
i guess i cant complete the tasks as a scav?
@little compass You can collect items like wires, salewas and such.. But kills + quest items can't be done
thanks can i collect shotguns as a scav? im doign teh debut mission
Yeah
hello i have just finished a scav raid and got out bunch of loot, my stash is full and i really need someone to help me manage all of that stuff please dm
Are you on the raid end screen trying to transfer loot or are you back in your stash?
if you disconnect does thing in your pouch dissappear or do they stay
is there a set date for next wipe?
when was the last one?
can anyone help me with the Mechanic introduction quest
is there a set date for next wipe?
@vivid pebble Nope, it comes with big changes to the game and we don't know when the next biggue will be
when was the last one?
@slim maple 2 months ago? ish
someone told me that a wipe happens every 9 months ish
Yeah that's about right
yeah hopefully thats when city of tarkov comes out

so
i have a fracture
but i dont get the hand tremor effect
and its annoying
i get the visual effect but I dont get the stat listed on me
Yeah same I've noticed this
It does count though, as I got my last tremor headshot whilst that was happening
@vivid pebble already askin for next wipe ?
can anyone teach me how to play tarkov
@molten pecan just wondering
@bold kernel wipe is every 6 month +-
any tips to get better as a beginner
Tips are: Do not be dissuaded by the mentality of "rat." It is a valid playstyle that can allow you to overpower your enemies. Especially an uncoordinated team.
Chad playstyles are more likely to get you killed if you don't know how to play the game.
Alternate between both. Know when to fight and to run.
the goblin playstyle is better
grab everything and run
until you can run decent kits and play like a rat
lol that's also a valid playstyle. I'm doing that at the moment to try and get beta container
although at this point I'm liking how the game plays so I'm thinking of buying eod or just waiting to see how the grenade launchers change the game
you should wait until the next wipe
you have to restart your account to get the eod
so youll lose everything on this wipe
ah I see I thought it carries over unfortunate
the goblin playstyle is better
@vale stream Get smacked up at the alkharid gate?
you have to restart your account to get the eod
@vale stream this is false
You get your extras via system messenger
Yeah it would be dumb if you lost stuff
its what I read
but maybe the post was old ig
sorry bout that
oh jeez
having the safehouse fully upgraded is the best feeling so far
You dont have to reset your account to get EOD i have done it myself you just get the extra gear put into your new extended stash
My submission for Sherpa is really bad with hindsight, forgot to tell I'm on EU and maybe the specific quest. Should I delete and make a better one or just go on the offcial discord ?
yeah probably just go to their discord and ask there @arctic kraken
ok thanks
@arctic kraken As long as your contact information is good you are fine. Discord name is case sensitive and you need to include the numbers.
Alright thank you, the discord is written properly

Used to be you went into raid and extract you could refill them... think that was disabled.

When should you stop repairing armor and just sell it?
Whenever it gets below 25 it is utterly useless for anything more than a couple bullets.
Same guy Figatron has been hacking labs on US east for weeks now, Ive been hit by him two times in 2 hours....
Ive got him on video twice now, do I just link the vid in my report?

Hello for the skier quest were you have to find flash drives in raid once you find them and it says one in the quest do i have to keep the flash drive or can i sell it?

How do you lock the blue keycard room behind you when you go in in labs
I closed it but it still just says "open" for me
you can't just shut the door
I thought the labs keycard doors locked behind you
only red
be careful in blue, theres a chute that you can open and throw nades in and out from
very scary sometimes 😭
anyone wanna help me

anyone able to play and help me run 2 quests real quick?
i need to find the water in dorms, and get jaeger's note
haha im a level 7
dm me i will help you
@delicate wren its not against the rules to bring in small items worth little money. things like bitcoins, graphics cards and other expensive items seem to get flagged for RMT
Question: Guy I played with said you shouldn't dump/hide dead player's gear in the water (ex. Wood's lake, Shoreline ocean) because you don't get it back from insurance. Said that BSG patch this out because it would be too easy for players to hide dead guy's gear. Soooo, should I continue dumping dead teammate's gear into the water or not?
yeah I'm looking at that, but im confused on it, do i want the max pen? or a nice balance of pen/dmg
7n37 good for guranteed headshot kills, 7n1 good for bodyshots most of the time below class 6
7n37 killa farm ez.
ty, I'm running mosin, do i go for 7n37?
kk, ty
or lps-gzh
lps-gzh good, cheap, and effective, 7n1 just better lps for more money
untrue
is the sr-1mp good? dropped a guy that had it and its loaded with sp10 rounds
7n1 better pen. and petter damage.
and yes
think like a russian 5 7
high pen and damage. but in a small package.
and so much cheaper with low level traders.
Sinful, it is alright. Im not really a fan of it or the 5-7 but its okay.
Can try it in offline and see if you like it.
What pistol DO you like then Ice?
HELP ME
5-7
There's only 3 good pistols don't @ me
5-7, g18c, and the grach are the only pistols i'll use
if you say 3 then i say 4 (5-7 and srimp are good for sure, g18c and aps are kinda ok)
Fffuuuu, why must I be so bad at this game. But I also can't stop playing. Level 9 and still working on the first couple tasks.
"server connection lost" after dissalowed program 17
tried stopping virtualisatoin stuff and autohotkey
still getting disconnected
is this the new meta?
i think it might be hyperv
Do you have nvidia filters on
not sure what that is, but right now ive just rebooted after uninstalling hyperv cos thats the lsat big change i made
connection lost again
also installed virtualbox recently
are you talking about post filters in the tarkov settings?
got rid of virtualbox
still same
i give up
@lapis mauve @wise stream 5-7, SR1MP, and the G18
aps is debatably better than g18 since its more controllable (and cheaper, and has a suppressed version)
what do i do when i finish a scav run and my stash is full
ive already put bags in bags
cant sell post raid right
else you lose everything you brought out
@craggy sage correct- make sure your PMC is loaded before going ona scav run and plan for success -- They are adding a 'scav table' to the game in the future.
that's a good point I could have loaded my PMC up properly first
Do we have an answer with proof on how insurance works with Scavs picking up player weapons yet?
what is a scav table?
who wanna help me with peace keepers quests
The scav table is gonna be a place where u can store all ur scav gear and sell what u want before u put it in ur inventory
@shut pelican
how do you change how to reload
like loading the mag for a sniper instead of replacing a mag
hold reload and mouse wheel, only works for weapons that can be loaded from the top
kk ty
im broke any strats to get up on some rebs
scav on factory
Hello?
act like a scav and head to extract
ill do scav factory Im still learning maps so extract is kinda hard
I dont entirely understand what to do with this game. I just picked it up today and feel entirely overwhelmed. @.@
watch some youtube vidz helps break stuff down did for me atleast @analog mulch
Will do. Just wanted to learn and make some new friends to play the game with as well. Currently running solo. x-x Lol
add me ill play with you
Last night I was playing with some guys in here (I'm pretty new) and 3 of the 4 others were pretty decently geared. I died along with one of the "geared players" (High level armor). This other guy that was lower geared around level 20 or so just straight picked up all of our shit that he could and bounced. Do we report those type of people ro server admins or? probably took me for about 100k and I'm level 12. Took the other guy that was geared for a lot more.
Until I understand weapon modding more should I just sell all the attachments I get?
To understand weapon modding you should unlock the workbench level 1 in your hideout
Im very new and rarely survive raids
Then you can use weapon presets to see what goes where
Idk like 4 or something
Then just sell them
which servers are you playing on?
NA
LL8 Checking in, got any room?
How long you been playing for overall?
Started Saturday night, got introduced by friends that are 35+-40+
So you've played with them a bit?
Yeah Ive ran about 20 raids with them
NA
whats a good wayto do freind fromthe west part 1?
@inner flicker and @uncut magnet join me in 3 man squad #10
just factory?
Any map really
if anything factory is harder
You want a map that spawns more PMCs than 4 other people
customs and interchange I'd say personally
why
Because you need PMC kills, and more PMCs spawn on customs and interchange
ah ok
@zealous tendon I'd love to but unfortunately I work for another 3.5 hours
Sweet as man
You Aus?
yes
you cant play with anyone other than AUS/NZ
Your ping is too high to other countries
really that sucks
u live in the usa then
u just told me it wont work
lol
I get 120 ping to the US
had no idea
you get like 200+
yup lol 220+
@zealous tendon if ur somehow still gaming when I'm off that would be awesome to join u if not I appreciate the offer
Yeah I will be around for another 7-8 hours
Sweet
i have one question. when you are going to extraction point and its always on the other side of the map and i usually run at the wall for cover from right or left side or im running from bush to bush is this good tactic or is there better way to extraction point
anyone know where is the best location for bitcoins
safes/marked circles
it's kinda tricky to know where the best direction is
usually just sticking to the shortest path works well if its well covered
you'd usually stick to the walls if you're new to the map since its hard to make heads or tails of where you are
can you find tetriz on any other map than interchange
Anywhere with a tech spawn isnt it?
pretty much
i have one question. when you are going to extraction point and its always on the other side of the map and i usually run at the wall for cover from right or left side or im running from bush to bush is this good tactic or is there better way to extraction point
@blazing heron I wanna draw up a woods run I did yesterday with someone
@blazing heron
Ideally we would have carried on forward and round the edge of the map but with 4 people fighting and the other guy only having a pistol we made the executive decision to run away and go the short-but-risky route
hey all, since BTC is disabled in the flea market. what's the best use of them atm?
Each one is a solid 116k to therapist
Rest of the barters found here
what should i be putting in my alpha container? ive been putting meds in it but dont know if there is a better use
what should i be putting in my alpha container? ive been putting meds in it but dont know if there is a better use
@mint thistle meds in when you enter the raid, and then swap out as you find other stuff.. Either useful or valuable
so like a key or somn?
Keys are good, usually sell for a few thousand at the least
ok, thanks. i didnt even think about putting expensive stuff in it. (im kinda dumb)
You can use https://eft-loot.com/
put things you need for your hideout too, since they're not required to be found in raid
will give you a very quick price-per-slot on the flea of an item
which could be completely different to the vendor value (should you die)
Price online monitoring, charts, price history on Escape From Tarkov flea market items
Thats actually up to date @silent temple
@dreamy salmon You playing still?
That's fair I've seen people recommend it.. such shit data
well, IDK if market prices are important when looking what to put inside his secure container, considering that everything in the container will loose FIR status upon death and thus cant be sold on the flea
imo need to either know vendor price or what u can use the item for yourself, like a barter
keys are a good shout though.. Either they have a reasonable value to therapist, or they can be kept and used if theyre very valuable
How can I loot Pestily?
Kill him first, then press F on body
Can you store guns and attachment also can you put bags and vests in a lucky scav box
Store guns and attachments where? and bags/vests cant go in scav junkbox
@fast egret none of those things u mentioned can be stored in scav junkbox
sorry man @zealous tendon was off playing rust now
Do I need Tarkov Prime to loot Pestily?
ok thanks
is it still meta to disassemble weapons and sell it after?
so no profit to disassemble now?
Nah
they got nerfed iirc
If you like Holodilnicks then go for it
yeah but I believe their value on flea always goes down to therapist sale value eventually annyway, since they drop kinda often
what is the fastest way to level up so i can use flea market
Quests
would like help with some quests and raids
question
Anyone wanna run some raids so I can actually make a little bit of money?
i try to scav and I just get domed by pscavs
i try to pmc and that ends horribly
same
my upgrade timers says 00:00:00 how do I install my vent upgrade?
anyone running new people through the game a bit to help learn? the basics
W to move Lclick to shoot dont die
I’m pretty new still but I got pretty much the basics of you want to run some @brazen pecan
what is the best map to scav?
@brazen pecantry to apply for a Sherpa
@vague iris ty it worked
Can you do offline mode with friends?
whats the time on customs i hav to wait till to extract?
I'm stuck on tires in reserve, is there tricks to get out of this ?
I would alt+f4 and relaunch and reconnect and see if it gets you out.
TStreetz, what region are you?
ok i'll try thank you
When the sherpa tells you to apply for a sherpa.
well if you go through the hoops they get a free gear set so it is a lot more easy of an experience for them @stone moss
@blazing wigeon Out of curiosity, what do they get?
Assault USEC: M4A1, P226, AVS Vest, MBSS Backpack, 2 Mags/weapon, ammo, AI2 medkit, bandages;
Assault BEAR: AK74, MP443, Blackrock Vest, MBSS Backpack, 2 Mags/weapon, ammo, AI2 medkit, bandages;
Recon USEC: MP5, P226, Commando Vest, MBSS Backpack, 2 Mags/weapon, ammo, AI2 medkit, bandages;
Recon BEAR: PP 19, MP443, Sniper scout Vest, MBSS Backpack, 2 Mags/weapon, ammo, AI2 medkit, bandages;
Sniper: Mosin PU, MP443, Vest, MBSS Backpack, 2 Mags/weapon, AI2 medkit, bandages;
Scavenger: No bonuses.
saves me the hassle hahaha cheers Mako
It's not great, and that's pretty much on purpose
Well, they have to learn how to use things they have access to... Don't really see an issue with that gear tbh.
If it was too good then people would abuse it
USEC getting an AVS, BEAR only a Blackrock
Amazing
Well that too, but you would be telling new guys that the stuff they have is worthless and won't get them anywhere otherwise
@languid flare Because USEC is where it's at.
@languid flare the rigs changed over time the AVS became armoured later in development
I know. Its still funny
They should kinda update it then...
probably, it's not like we wouldn't bring them armour anyway usually
is there any resource which item is cheap and which is expensive cuz every time i loot to many thing an ddont know which to keep
u kinda just need to learn that
Some of that comes from experience but supposedly there is a website you can check item prices on or something.
ok thnx
Anyone know why map I should be playing as a level 3. I’ve lost most of the stuff the game gave me at factory and I tried customs but it’s fackin large
crossfire don't play as a PMC yet, do scav runs and play offline mode with PvE turned on and "tag and cursed" selected to practice aim and weapon handling against bots
this will help you find extraction points on maps
and customs is where usually new players start, it's not that huge
labs requires a 200k investment every raid for a single use key card, reserve is demanding as well
woods will get you uninstall the game after few days from being sniped out of nowhere
ay thanks
shoreline can be fun, but it's huge
so that leaves you with customs and interchange
i've chose customs as my main map when i was in your shoes and it fine choice, but interchange is much better map to farm, money wise
is it normal for extraction points to be like on the opposite side of the map so like crossroads and trailer park if you spawn admin becuase the one time i did it that happened and i got loot and kills but died trying to get over there
yes, intentional
You always spawn opposite of your extracts
maps have chokepoints and it's expected for players to meet somewhere in the middle
Honestly Crossfire its going to be very subjective what maps are good to run. Change, not necessarily true in reserve.
Well, Reserve has always all open, but its still (somewhat) true for Scavs
Honestly crossfire, run your scavs when you get a chance. Maybe do some offline runs because PMC and Scav do not always have the same extracts and you want to learn both mode's extracts.
got it alright. So i guess i just gotta figure out the maps well which makes sense.
Customs is where your beginner quests are so it is good to learn and IMO reserve isn't a bad beginner map (if your computer can run it well enough.) I would suggest looking up a map on google to help you out in raid.
also the game makes a distinction between surviving a raid and a run through, if you spent under 10 minutes OR had less than 800 (I could be wrong on this number) XP when you left the map it will be called "run through". You'll get half the XP and items you found won't have "found in raid" tag.
(600, after survive bonus XP)
Pretty sure it is 600 exp but if you kill someone and loot it you get enough.
New guy prob isn't going to get run-through too often tbh lol Also that mechanic does not work like that for scavs
Yeap, thanks for correction. Point is that the extraction points being far away from spawn points are intentional and game punishes you for rushing towards exit.
Sometimes it is worth getting out early depending on what you are doing. But if you want exp you need to survive first and foremost. If you kill some things and maybe loot a bit, you get more exp if you survive due to the multiplier you get for surviving.
I would not worry too much about levels until you get customs and one other map down though.
You can also seek the help of an experienced player that can join you in raid and teach you as well. There are a few of those around, but it is a pretty toxic comm...

Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
the wall indeed
Yeah, you can go to sherpa and go through trying to register and wait for a sherpa if you want. There are also other players that volunteer to help. It is a little better than this server for help IMO
i mean i think i can do on my own for now, they cant help me learn the maps, itss easier for me to just get that on my own imo. Thought that was more for if you lost everything
If you lose everything you can do scav runs and if you make it out you get to keep everything from that raid.
Ffs, theres always a sweaty in a corner. I think I've died close to 10-15 times in a row now + scav runs. Getting to lvl 10 a few hundred exp at a time is such a fucking grind.
I would try not to be over reliant on scav though because you want to level your PMC to advance in the game.
alright thanks for tips guys
I'm getting worse the more I play...
Sometimes you gotta just walk away and come back 15 minutes later
If you let it rattle you, it will make you worse
I would assume there is a guy in every corner though
I don't really get mad any more, I just feel shitty. Tired of being nothing more than a target. Can't kill anything, even if i surprise them from behind.
Try to hide, sneak, crawl in bushes and behind walls but it doesn't matter
get a hunter, a pso sight and camp the shit out of sewer manhole
on dome
well not sewer manhole just the area around it
Can't get anything cuz im not 10
sewer manhole got some good cover but u can camp the knights and heli
hunters spawn on scavs and pso isnt rare either
Ill be honest, being tactical/slow doesn't usually serve you well in this game. If you move fast you can get the jump on someone.
The only exception is camping
wait prap ll1 got pso
You guys dont to seem to understand, doesn't matter what I have if some dude is rocking some crazy armor ive never seen, I can't pen anything. Once put 22 rounds into a dude and he survived and shot me once
They would have to find a hunter...
And I have some scopes but they don't go on any guns
Again, doesn't matter, I don't take them cuz I'll just die and lose them
wait what does the "taged and curse" thing do
eff your day up
The scavs detect you easier and are aggrieve toward you
Dude, Your starter ammo besides the mosin ammo will not pen a lot of armors.
You are better off shooting at the head/face.
it's a mechanic to prevent people from hatchet runs (i.e. going in naked to minimize potential loss and maximizing profit) - if you spawn without gear and main weapon the scavs will auto aggro you within 100m
its a mechanic to prevent you from running with no armor
You can take a pistol and you will still be tagged
also SNB which pens most good armor
Except when they have a helmet and faceshield. Shot a guy twice, once in the face and a second time in the leg with mosin. he didn't die
shit caps
But you can at least 1 shot lower tier armor
https://www.futuregamereleases.com/2020/02/hey-eft-hatchlings-how-does-tagged-and-cursed-feels-like/
not rly
having to do 2 shots for every enemy with a bolt action.... meh
Sure doesn't seem like it
armor still absorbs a couple dmg
idk, i generally 1 tap with it
its only 5 damage below 7n1
and you can get it from prapor. I rather use SMB with a semi auto or if I am going Headshot only... but thats my preference I suppose.
Either way, for the most part, aim for their head/face, Dude.
Usually not protected or protected as well as the torso
5 dmg is a big difference if armor can just absorb a couple dmg and u wont get a 1tap
Hell, the other day my hunter decided it was using spitballs for ammo. Musta but a dozen bullets into an unarmored scav and he just didn't die
Then it won't matter if he farms SMB or gets lps lol
This game is brutal to new players, just the levelling and tasks alone
He can at least 1 tap low armor with the lps is all I am saying.
Yeah, it has a steep learning curb and quite difficult for new guys
Just keep at it
snb just has more pen and u find it all over the place
But if you get good at aiming, you can take something like the PM and drop a well geared player with a well-placed face shot.
True enough. The pen is top notch
offline is decent for practising aim aswell
absolutely
but learn customs via scav and offline raid and learn one other ma (imo reserve is a good second). Then go out from there.
I like Inter, reserve is prob 3rd with customs being far and above my best map (in terms of knowing where everything is). The only issue with offline is they aren't anywhere close to the difficulty of real players.
So as online is the easiest difficulty?
As online makes them how they would be in game
They start easy and gradually get harder through the raid
cranking it up makes the scavs more accurate and stuff
You gotta start somewhere
so i can only imagine how quick id die in hard
oh a word of advice
dont strafe as you shoot
stand still and actually aim
moving will really throw your aim off unless you are used to how your gun shoots while strafing
I kill geared dudes with crap equipment a lot of times because they try to spray me while moving when I take the time and a couple bullets to line one up on their noggin
i just got like 8 kills on scavs then i was out of my 3 clips and it wouldnt let me switch to my pistol* so i died, turns out if you accidently click caps lock you cant press "1" to get to your psitol
My loot route for Interchange is pretty much IDEA PC room, Goshan Shelves, Oli PC and the back of OLI, and then sometimes Emercom medical. Is there anything I should add or change? I've been struggling to get the 3.5mil for Stash 2 and I'm level 33
Question. For PMC kills, can you just queue in with someone and kill them?
looks pretty random to me
why do you need that pistol mag for?
do you like the AK i built
What do you think of my AK
bad
How do i improve it
fortis shift
What is that
my 2c - I recon you're still low level char, maybe with access to flea market but with vendors still being locked for you
It's very hard to build a reliable AK of flea market for reasonable price, and ammo is pretty expensive so I would rather run what I have without worrying about it too much or stick to single fire and use sks and adar, both solid weapons.
i am on smurf quest
Once you have access to flea market you can buy RPK for 50k which out of the box will have stats comparable to 200k+ AK
i cant afford rpk
keep in mind that your gun is the cheaper part of the equation, you have to pay for ammo as well
is the ak a bad gun i shot a guy with the pubg level 3 helmet thing like 80 times
it did not do good
it said "hit count 7 " and damage absorbed by armor like a lot
it's not about the gun, it's about the ammo
is ps good
guns doesn't do damage, ammo does
it's not
you build your gun so your ammo lands on target
that's all
"better" weapon will let you mod it further or allow you to fire better calibers
oh i thought it like increased damage and stuff
not at all
like more money worth = more killabilaty or whatever the word is
leafality
that's why sks will do you much better
sksksksks
by having 10 rounds in mag you will be forced to aim your shots well
but you won't break the bank on good ammo
what is bp
Visualization of all ammo types in Escape from Tarkov
bruh points
if you nade bathrooms on labs you are using esp
especially when your name is a hack website
ok
thanks for the tip
dr dis respect
!play scary monsters and nice sprites
so how many ps bullets for to drop guy with that pubg level helme,t
altyn?
frying pan
vulkan
I don't have actual number at hand, but I would say sth around ~12 rounds
Altyn is level 5
PS does not penetrate that
you will need to shot it until it breaks
what level ar you
14
the helmet you are talking about
oh
it's called altyn
how does a helmet have a level
its mae out of steal
how do i level my helmet
wati
if you buy a body armor in real life it's certified for a certain level of protection
up to level 3a irl right
is m995 really slightly better than ap sx, a smg caliber
invest in m995
also check this video it will help you understand the basic mechanics of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLs8dhonuCA
4.6x30mm recently got a buff & people have been asking me how the new values stack up. In this video I breakdown the changes to the ammo & how it performs against all levels of armour!
I stream 5 days a week on twitch at https://twitch.tv/vox_e
================================...
do you wanna play
u cant fool me thats a real person not a bear
if you just jump to 460s timestamp it states that with shitty ammo it takes 24 hits to kill a player with a level 5 body armor, while using the ammo with good penetration it only takes 4.
meaning that if you run with shitty ammo it's entirely possible that you empty your clip at point blank range and you won't kill your opponent
that's how important the ammo is in this game
@pure talon wna play
RUDE
coll pack
is it possible that you dont get reputation if you sell sth overpriced on the flea market?
you lose rep @dusky shell
anyone wanna do the bad rep task with me?
can try lfg chat
hey, is labs insurance coming back?
would anyone like to play tarkov with me? i'm new and was wondering if anyone wanted to help me out
@pastel flume you don't get insurance through labs
@hot zenith okay, thanks, our group was arguing about it.
because scavs can't go there, they can't pick up your insurance
because scavs can't go there, they can't pick up your insurance
@hot zenith
Tell that all those scavs with keycards in their backpacky
ur mom gay ur mom gay
i bought the game a week ago and was wondering if someone with access to the flea market could buy 2 items for me and trade inside a raid together
im doing the gunsmiths first quest for xp and stuff and i need the plastic pistol grip for MP-133/153 and also the Custom plastic mp-133 forestock with mounts
i dont think they cost too much its just so hard to get them without the market
The stock thingy you can barter from mechanic for 2 HDDs
where can i get those?
COMPUTERS
Computers, mostly
And the pistol grip can be found somewhat common on scav shotguns
Its not too rare
yeah ive been doing scav runs all day and checking all the scavs i find and none have spawned with them
the pistol grip costs like 10k on the flea according to this website https://tarkov-market.com/
Price online monitoring, charts, price history on Escape From Tarkov flea market items
Well, if you find noone who can buy it for you (which would be via flea for them as well..), you gotta keep trying.
and the custon plastic forestock is 50k but 2 hdds are 20k so i could get them cheaper like that
is this my connection or why do i always lost connection
are u playing with friends that are far away?
cause there is a ping limit in tarkov
Lost connection is not because of ping
Ping kicks are detailed as such
(Something about 'because of bad connection quality)
where can i find more scavs to loot ? in customs
pretty much everywhere except the woods
play as scav and just line up 3 ai scavs and kill them
@split prism i dont recomend scaving into customs, there isnt that much loot there other than the scavs. id say you should scav into either interchange or reserves. theres more loot there and you can learn the maps as you go
im gonna cry i got disconnected 3 times and lost 3 fully geard classes 
what servers do you have selected @blazing heron
auto eur
ill try
anyone wanna help me in tarkov?
do you loose skill xp upon death? my mag drills keep loosing points every time i die
i got it on lvl 2 with 16.3 when i started this raid, got killed and now its on 13,6
scav name im fairly sure
scav name
its the name of the scav
To know if a scav was a player you can see "pouch" in their inventory
not 100 percent. you can also see if they have a scabbard you cant take, if they do they are 100 percent a player
@dusky shell From what I cant tell the in game calculation is weird, even if you survive it is different sometimes
a mission from therapist requires me to extract from customs, can i do it as a scav?
All quests must be done as pmc
alright thanks 🙂
@chrome ibex ye it just reset me back from 19 to 13.5 on mag drills and 4 points lost on strength.. wth..
can anyone send me every map and the extract points please

huh? @raven gazelle
its a discord server and in the server is all the maps
i have 2 mp 133s for prapor but i cant hand them over. do i need to finish killing scavs before i can give him the guns, or is it because i stripped them down?
@remote zealot its because you stripped them down
click on the trader dont do it through the task bar at the top of ur screen
dang, i already sold the essential parts. time to farm fence ig
smarter to sell to Mechanic or Peacekeeper early on?
i sold to peacekeepr
You should sell weapon attachments to skier and the weapon itself to mechanic. Everything else you can sell to therapist except ammunition
sell the attachments to mechainic now unless your leveling skeir
anyone here willing to 1 on 1 with a newbie
You can just sell weapons straight to mechanic nowadays
do the salewa's for the first therapist task need to be found in raid? or is it possible to get them from someone and use them to complete the quest
Needs to be found in raid
Many spawn in the cages in reserve and they can be crafted as well
np
the salewas and the first gas analyzer do not have to be found in raid, however the next 2 gas analyzers have to
I hate how rare gas analyzers seemed to me at first, now I find them more than I want
why do i have 8 prapor traders wtf is this
Put your glasses back on 🤣
@modest wind I don't understand, you seem upset
ok lol
duo?
is there anything I could put on here to make the recoil better?
U can put a polymer stock instead of a wooden one.
depends on how much you are willing to spend
just curious what vertical recoil for an ak is considered low
test it
for a budget build, an AK under 75 vertical is pretty decent
see what ur able to handle
lowest recoil I can get an ak-74m to is 58 with 100k in total
hmm ,ok. you guys reckon that this thing is a decent weapon for killing reshaly
@rough hare the stock isnt the greatest. if you replace it with a Zhuhov-S it will most likely be below 60
@rough hare for AI it should be more than enough. You will be able to full auto on close ranges but mid to long range I recommend tapping
I don't really use nades, when I have them I forget that I have them
I could bring a couple of rgds I guess
u dont need a good gun to kill a boss u just need to be smart
however you might require a good gun to get to the boss alive xD
a good gun certainly helps tho xD
more likely to kill a boss with an ak than a tt pistol
yes but my point is u dont need a good ak and u dont need to spend a ton of money
like NotBatman said its not much of a difference. If you are unlucky and his guards are running altys the tt will fuck you over but AI in this game is completely braindead you can easily do it with a stock sks with ps rounds or a vepr hunter with m80
I think that this will be my loadout, should I change anything?
btw theres not much point in taking painkillers and vaseline
if you are not going to bring a cms or survkit bring some water and food at least in case somebody blacks your stomach 😄
but other than that you are good
ok, will get a cms xD
lvl r u?
tell us how it went
no
is it for a quest u killing reshala?
at least I dont think so
yes @raven gazelle
u need 2 fir cms
oh yeah right... jaeger wants it
is that quest far in?
jaegers quests are a little weird, there is a bunch of different questlines so to speak 😄 so it depends but you could just check what quest leads to it on the wiki and then backtrack until you find one that you have if you know what I mean
oh ok, I just did that and its one of the next ones for me :p
time to start making that defib
I just checked it comes after the quest where you gotta clap some peeps with headshots while suffering from tremor
yeah, I need one more tremor kill
easiest way to sustain a tremor is having a fracture 😄 preferable in the arm so you can run without taking damage and if you are on painkillers all the time you dont notice it
just make sure not to heal it next time you get one and keep it until you get that kill
my arm never seems to get broken, I always check the medical bill screen
I just see a little indicator showing they headshot me D:
but I will if i see it
thanks btw!
no problem at all
Am struggling to get money up with Peacekeeper for LL2, what are the best things to sell him?
buy m9a3s from him and sell it back
what would be the best things to buy/sell from Jaeger to get to LL2?
I would just buy the cheap antique axes from flea and sell them to him
sell all shotguns and knifes to him you can get
thats smart Kairon22, probbably a good idea
you can get them for like 53k upwards normally, and selling each one to him is just above 50k
oh thanks, that's good to know. Now I just need 50k lol
if you are below 50k and have nothing to sell its probbably time to spam scavs 😄
@ocean fable i'm going to wait until tomorrow to do the reshala raid, might try team up with some fellow Europeans, will let you know how it went if I remember to! xD
@rough hare team up with me I am a fellow european
