anything more than a duo on factory is actually insecure
What's the benefit outside of constantly having to position check
anyone wanna help in tarkov?
looking for someone to teach me labs and not be toxic
so tough running solo i need help getting my loot out of customs lol.
does anyone know the button to toggle to a reflex mounted on top of a sight?
ctrl + mouse wheel up i think
sorry shift + mouse wheel up
but you have to be standing still or you'll sprint
really depends
night is darkest before the moon rises and after it sets, i think nvg is really helpful here
I'm doing tarkov shooter part 5, first run
Reshala
fuckkkk
I heard 4 nades thrown at me
get em
I'm already dead
thats a rip
I was on the rocks looking for scavs and didn't see any
walk into gas station and died
what's the cheapest night vision
couldnt say lol still learning
could anyone help me do health care privacy pt 5
That's actually one of the easier one in my opinion, hop onto one of the 5 man Factory VCs here and get 1 or more to protect you when you plant them and you'll finish it easily.
Could I get some help on what the best things are to produce in the hideout for each station, roughly everything I craft comes out to equal for the med station, and etc, with the Work bench and Intelligence center only making some profit (If it even covers the fuel first).
I am seriously struggling to grab that darn letter for Jaeger. Any feel like helping me brave sniper land woods for it real quick?
Anyone up to teach a newbie the ropes?
i would also like to learn
did i do something to be loud here? i thought i was quiet but i must have done something because he knew right where i was
Is there a place I can ask for help with "The Guide" quest?
How many people are in the map? I got the game like 2 days ago.
glad i'm not alone in being lost LOL
I just want to know if they will increase player count per map
Oh i've got no clue on that bro
they might add 1 or 2 people to customs
@silk tiger idk, that quest isnt very hard you should be find duo if you start with labs, that's what i did
ash-12 good?
anyone wanna group up, im newish but i can teach some stuff to anyone who needs help
good to know
@bitter maple How did he TK you?
@rain bough u proned up
U also ADS
And he went around that corner saw the dead scav and knew that u were somewhere there he didnt see u so he prefired around that wall
I can't even survive a raid anymore. Like 20+ kia in a row
Never see em, never hear em, can't kill em when I do. I doubt level 10 and the flea market is going to make much difference.
Sucks cuz I really like this game but I'm so bad at it
does anyone know the button to toggle to a reflex mounted on top of a sight?
@delicate wren Default is either Control or ALt + right mouse button. One of them swaps scopes, the other changes zoom level/mode of current sight, Forget exactly which is which I changed key binds long ago.
@charred spindle ash 12 is god gun



I want to ask for help, but I don't want to waste someones time, or get them killed.
you wont waste peoples time dude ask whatever you need @opaque garnet
I need tons of help. Apparently I don't know how to be stealthy, or how to shoot or just survive in general. Been trying to get some tasks done but they're tough (for me anyway). About the only thing I've figured out is the customs map
this game is hell for newer players, there is a fat learning curve and a lot of things to master so yeah your going to suck for a while, the important thing is to just find what pvp playstyle you like and master it if you like the slower gameplay play the maps and move around the areas that give you the best chance or if your a more fast paced rush player then same deal
for tasks i recommend setting them as your goal in a raid and work towards them if you happen to encounter pvp then either fight or run depending on the scenario
everyone has a unique playstyle they think is best and some will even say its the only way to play
@rain bough tf is that audio
you just have to find what you like
dont use steam audio please
why not?
its ass .
seems pretty great to me and it's only gonna get expanded on
idk where the fuck i am hearing things
isn't steam audio still better than eft standard?
like i could hear exactly where that guy was
im sticking to standard lol
how about try em both and see what you like
it might not come through on youtube as well as i hear it locally though
dont ask whats good in eft youll get 10348029741908 opinions
it just doesnt work with me
unless your asking stats
good stats only really matter if your goin bis laser beams, I sometimes like just building pretty looking guns and seeing what its like, but thats also a good way to burn through cash
i was talking damage/pen stats for bullets and such
just take guns that can shoot the 7.62x51 M80 round
this is the mode that is invisible to enemy players right?
@hot zenith You literally can see the laser in this.
Also, no mode is fully invisible, even IR is visible when close to a wall etc
If its the LS321, you have to make sure the setting is the one with the top light green and the dial being straight (if its right way up put on the gun)
Then you got IR flashlight, which is MOSTLY not visible.
so it's the mode that I can't see either
Well, yes.
Why would you see it differently than everyone else? 😛
You dont have special eyes.
(At least in game, dunno about IRL, I dont know your eyes)
I was just wondering if there were one way lasers
That... that is not how light works.
well, there are one way light refractions but I guess too fictional to put into a laser
If it goes out to hit something, its impossible to make it only visible to one person.
Except with magic, but this isnt Escape from Mordor
Escape from Mordor xD
hey can i have help i am new and trying to learn the basics
@visual spade you talking about ingame help? or do you just have some questions?
both
well, questions youre welcone to ask straight away here ^_^(personally cant help ingame atm since Im not home)
is there a tutorial?
nope, no ingame tutorial
you can practice maps in offline mode to learn their layouts without loosing gear, can also watch some youtube guides, theres tons of em
can u put mag box in gamma?
used to be able awhile ago, but no longer possible
i see thx
hey guys can I do anything with the 0/100 fuel cans?
metal: sell em
blue, expeditionary ones: make them into mag boxes
thank you!
are the graphics cards in the bitcoin farm being used up or will they just produce faster the more i put in?
Produce faster
@tiny stag You can also carry them with you for that strength training xD
they will stay till next wipe so to say?
@dusky shell yes, they wont be consumed
sweet thanks alot
but wipe will delete all your hideout progress too
wut?
?

does anyone know if the game always tries to get the maximum number of players in a map? wanna know if there can be less people going into nighttime than daytime raids
does anyone know if the game always tries to get the maximum number of players in a map? wanna know if there can be less people going into nighttime than daytime raids
@lime willow I think it does try to, but it doesn't want to keep people waiting too long to get into a game if it can help it
@visual spade hmm, I do see sometimes players offering ingame help here, maybe try asking help in #pvp-lfg or even just #eft-chat #eft-chat-2
@visual spade what u need help with?
Every thing man
when did you start playing?
oh dang,you got a mic?
Well yeah but not now
I'm goind to bed lol
But I would like tips
And me you can play tomorrow
alr man, pm me whenever and i can show you explain some stuff over a chat, sound good?
ill pm u something to remember ur name rq
So im just wondering if leaving in a raid, does it automatically kill you or, are you able to join back?
@past shore if you do Esc-leave/disconnect(forgot what it says) it kills u, if you leave by Alt+F4 or by ckosing in task man u can get back in
how do I get into a group to learn?
well thats just stupid lmao
I didnt know that, I ended up leaving with ESC and lost like a full backpack of stuff for my hideout
@tawny hatch can try #pvp-lfg
@past shore why did you want to disconnect annyway? only reason that pops into my head atm is when game bugs out and u wanna restart to fix
Yea thats the thing, I killed a full gear but i couldnt examine his rig or search his pockets, i thought it was just him but then i couldnt loot stuff off tables and shit
Ive seen people DC and reconnect but i didnt know it had to be done that way
ah well thats a shame, atleast u know for next time, if u wanna restart either do Alt+F4 or task manager
alright thanks boss
Can anyone tell me the order to sell to traders? I know it used to be therapist first, Skier 2nd, mechanic 3rd, etc..
well, its a bit weird atm, kinda jaeger -> therapist -> mechanic -> ragman, but most rigs jaeger will pay less than ragman
basically all weapons and attachments mechanic pays most for, exept jaeger only buys shotguns and bolt actions and he pays more than mechanic for em
ragman now pays most for rigs, backpacks, helmets, armor
therapist still for valuables like bitcoins
Anybody willing to play with me and help me learn the game? currently level 3 NAE
thanks for that @analog fulcrum !
like what is going on with skill experience? yesterday i couldnt level some skills at all as they got reset after each raid (didnt die didnt play offline) today i even lost experience?
the raids it got "reset" after, were they scav raids? since your scav and your PMC both have seperate skills and main level
no all of them were pmc raids
most of which i specifically tried to train those skills. after it got reset constantly i didnt bother
but in the last 24h i probably lost around 40 points in mag drills and 30ish in strength
Screenshot it
sounds like might be some bug? maybe make a support ticket
were is LFG
In the LFG channel <.<
Is the graphics card worth selling to traders?
Oh, between 400-500k
I think its like 420k atm? Not sure.
Why is it so expensive
Put into Bitcoin farm to make... well, bitcoins
And that without using them up and up to 50
I didn't even know Bitcoin farms were a thing in this game
Thanks for the info though
NP. Always check flea for stuff.
Especially if it may be expensive, it usually ... is to a degree.
I don't have flea unlocked so im always asking about stuff in tarkov discords
There is a website to check it as well, dont have a link tho
Alright I'll find it and check myself from now on. Thanks man
At worst check the wiki for it and see if it has some special use
Those are usually worth it too
Price online monitoring, charts, price history on Escape From Tarkov flea market items
Alright thanks
Those aren't exact real time prices but they're usually close
how do i refund the game
It's in the ToS that you can't refund :)
which probably violates some consumer laws but
what do I know

¯_(ツ)_/¯
how do i refund the game
@bold kernel Did you pay through paypal?
ya
You could chargeback through that but it's kinda a dick move
Do you just not like the game?
A little charge back from this company isn’t anything 😂
yo can you refuel tanks once theyre empty?
no
can you upgrade your stash?
@blazing heron you can in the hideout
but depends on game edition u bought the stash could be partially or even fully upgraded
SO IF I play in offline mod i wont lose anything.. including my keycard to get into offline labs?
ty
Can somebody help me finish the golden swag quest i dont want to go to dorms alone i need a protector
You needed 7k
two people need 7k?
yes
bruh
best thing to get and bring is a document case and just jam some money in there along with keys
tbf that isn't the games fault
i know
but the game is still fun
cause that fucking scav one taps me with a toz
yep
if you are able to extract, it would have said extracting
i would have died anyways lol
also only one of the images was lit up, meaning one person was extracting of the 4 possible
nah, if you had the money to escape you woulda been good xD
SORRY FOR JOKING
🙂
How rare is it to spawn in with a labs keycard as scav?
it happens to me alot, but I guess its considerably rare
assuming you mean the entrance key xD
I'd say 1/10 scav runs
alright i was just wondering, thanks
I do scav runs a lot and I've spawned with 2 in the past 3 days as well
yeah, it all kinda depends on how often you scav, if often your bound to get a couple of those and ofz shells xD
anyone available to help with some tasks?
Hey LFG im pretty new and just trying to get to lvl 10
Hey anybody willing to help us in BA 1
there is on the wiki
or just google EFT map name and go to wiki
Which map is more peaceful/have less common pvp places Shoreline or Reserve? I'm looking for a map where I can loot in peace and don't find myself between 2 teams all the time.
if ur looking for a good slug use ap-20
why
Poleva is best budget I see
Generally you want 6u, IF you gotta choose between those
But they are not easy to get and usually not much cheaper than AP-20, which can be crafted
Due to their low pen its usually not worth it to take the lower pen slugs
Might as well go with buckshot then
Poleva-6u has literally one listing
Much cheaper than AP-20 but performs way worse and supply is shit unless you have it unlucked from jaeger
just got 3k exp from a scav raid, how come it didnt add to my actual xp?
only pmc raids give xp
oh scav raids dont give it? always thought it did haha
sadly not
it would be so usefull for new players if they did so just keep the guns you get from scav raids and use pmc
yeah
what do scav levels do?
Your scav has its own unique level and stats that you keep and level up :)
give better gear?
Not better gear. But they'll get skills ranked up like recoil control. Making them better over time
ohh nice
when im out of raid my health water and food regens over time, how do i make it do that faster?
hi
Upgrade your water collector and nutrition unit in the hideout
@normal wraith or u can just eat and drink
well using hideout is free so i would prefer to use hideout
It is better to try and restore those in raid as you will need your Metabolism skill leveled up for hideout upgrades
yes but then u need to wait for ur water and food to go up
and the hideout isnt free
batman
icyblue
ok
ur batman
no comment
what do you get for doing all of the tarkov shooter quests? just money or are there any good items?
ok thanks
I can't find any RK-6 grip for gunsmith part 2
and my skier ain't lvl 2
Can I use a different grip for gunsmith part 2?
Kk will do
Hey, whats a good pistol for the pistol pmc kills mission? (not too expensive)
i mean the 5.7 is the best pistol imo
thats too expensive, the gun is 30k and mags are like 40k each if they are even available
@raven gazelle is this good enough?
idk can u hand it in
id recommend u use every part i used but if u can turn it in for the quest then its fine
@raven gazelle can;t hand it in
so copy mine
You need the muzzle break
I really need help, I got tarkov awhile ago and it easily became my favorite game. Shortly after that I couldn’t launch it and it always gave me the error “unable to run because it is being used in another process” or something along those lines. I haven’t been able to play for over 3 months now and have tried everything I can think of, please help
Have you tried submitting a support ticket via the launcher?
My friend got the same problem.
Support ticket would take another 3 months at least... i would u install and re install or make a whole new account... both options could also not work
@glossy hull have you tried reinstalling it onto another drive or a different ssd
best headset?
comtacs 2, sordins or tactisports
headset-2 4head
@bold kernel yea i have i got some help rn im trying to fix atm
epic
LF1 sherpa to help me extract with The Extorionist task on Customs. After that I'd be happy to help you do whatever. I'm just getting tilted on this one. Customs #10, NA
yo how does this beginners chat work do you just like join a call for help
if u have a question just post it in this chat and if u need help in game just ask for it and im sure someone will respond to help u @leaden palm
i need help in game
Blue room -> 1 syringe. Black room -> empty. Why are these keycards selling for so much? they should be like 12 rubles at most
cos there in labs and they can give decent stuff
labs everything is inflated
but honeslty blue is a key that u should hve if u have xtra money
the best card for its buck is green and black
if u play labs
blue is good if u run labs yea but i only have red, green, black and managers and weapons
its rare not to get nothing but black is a good key
u cant get everything every time
They did nerf it
Well labs in general
@potent tusk if there was no loose loot at all it could be an invisible wall hacker that they still didn’t patch- or you got unlucky :<
😦
Kinda sad how either one is equally possible
Not saying hackers are rampant but it’s comparable to that insane unluck
its ok i loaded back into labs, made the mistake of bringing a kit in
immediately speedhacked
forgot they can see what your kit is, gotta bring in garbage next time so they leave me alone
Kind of a shame that the problem is that out of hand though...
Ive resorted to just hiding for the first 20 mins or so. As long as i bring in nothing but a pistol I am usually safe. If I bring in anything else they immediately seek me out as soon as I spawn.
Im creating a montage of all the clips i've gotten of it
do you use keycards or just farm raiders
I try to use keycards if I can
but so far they've been a waste of money
multiple black rooms with nothing, blue room just has had some adrenalin
don't keycard rooms usually have like a ton of meds
blue room has been garbage for me personally
best med I've gotten has been the blue stim
you guys getting server connection lost ?
A lot lately
what is the chance of a tarkov player getting a red keycard without buying it
what are the chances*
low xD
if you're farming for it eventually otherwise so low its pretty much not going to happen
is there any chance someone could give me a hand im trash and need help
@obtuse mist yeah, I'm not a sherpa but if you want to
ight
im beginner need sombody to carry me pm me
same bro
You three should do a raid
i think paul is afk hes not responding to dms
anyone wanna run with me new to the game
@elfin magnet it’s best that you tell people what your region is, would be bad for both sides if you’re on the opposite ends of the world and you cannot play together
-after arranging everything
NAW looking for one or two to run Customs - I gotta hit Dorms & Office for tasks. Level 15
Who play in North America
@everyone anyone wanna teach me how to play tonight ?
can anyone help me rq
with what
y not
not worth my time tbh no offense
then dont be in the help channel offing help if u arnt gonna do anything
seems pointless tbh
So, I just died on factory. My teammate didn't exist at all, and I didn't see any enemies so I got shot and just fell to the floor, no sound. Just wondering if this is regular and something to have anxiety about all the time or was it a one time thing? I understand it's a beta and therefore i'm not mad about it. Has anyone seen this before? BTW, I only have about 30 hours or so, so I'm pretty new.
Yeah it happens sometimes
Sometimes characters go invisible
it sucks
I was on scav and I got hit by an invisible dude
is there any way to fix it in raid or is the solution to just pray to not die, extract and restart the game?
even had a teammate who was invisible
what happens to me in every factory run that scavs run to your spawn as soon as you spawn
so maybe that happend
sound bug
You probably have to restart
yeah, already done that
i have a question my self on labs if you go as a group do everyone need the keycard ?
I question that myself as well
I ran with some guys who were like "we're all going to press ready at the same time"
we all got in but I never asked whether or not we could've just grouped
I assume not but I'll ask
intresting
pretty sure that groups do work on labs xD
if it does then I don't know why we didn't do that
well there could be a addvantage in not going in as a group and a disaddvantage
Yes you can group, yes everyone needs keycard
how many of you were there
Im very new and only have the base pre order stuff but im just looking for someone to play with

Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
does anyone know how to uncap your frames and is it worth doing?
unless you have a 144hz monitor I believe you will not see a difference
I've had people say 144hz has a difference
I, myself, do not have one, so, I can't say for sure.
Game's limit is 120 so I don't think you can uncap it eitehr
Although, on this reddit post, it says you need your game fullscreen and you need to turn on VSYNC
is the sv-98 better than mosin
I believe the ammo is all that matters
Thanks Crem
I saw a video explaining what you said
np
Sv98 is cheaper and the same ammo with mag reloading and easier access to sights, but some people say there is a trigger delay @snow osprey
IRL sv-98 has a very heavy trigger so they simulate that with a slight but noticeable firing delay
they might be fixing that in the next patch, they are reworking the sv so mabey it will be a useable gun lul
is making profit off the flea market a thing?
yeas
okiii :)
do y'all ever die to invisible bs
I keep getting audio glitches like i cant here peoples footsteps when they are full on sprinting
i dont get anything that bad but sometimes explosions and gunshots in the distance will glitch out
Which keys do i need for vitamin part 1?
@formal pawn check the tarkov wiki.,
Are T4 and 5 rigs good still when they are mid 40s durability?
what would happen if i turn off the gen while something is being built in the hideout
would i lose my progress
level 8 and need to plant the document on factory if anyone is up for helping out
been sent right back to customs by 2/3 mans past several attempts
I believe your progress will pause
but if you leave your gen on and log off it'll consume your fuel so you don't want to do that
what would happen if i turn off the gen while something is being built in the hideout
@tardy python It doesn't matter, worst case it will take longer to complete.
gen is required to start the production
but the production continues after your turn it off
but it takes longer
i only have gen on to start or if i want sth to be completed faster
CAn someone help me find road to customs on shoreline i dont know the map very well i only went to shoreline for a quest
Road to customs is the top right corner
dude
If you follow the shoreline with the water on your right you'll make it there
IM LOST
swamp
oh lord
man you way off
You have to go to the opposite side of the map
wheres the oppisitre
@formal pawn you're at the swamp, how much time do you have left?
you will make it there eventually
38 mins
okay sweet gimme a sec

hold on
You're positive you're at the swamp, yes?
You are in the top left
i left the swamp
towards what
following the wall toward that big giant ball thats in reserve
Will take you a long way that way, but its safer
If you cross a bridge by a checkpoint, look left. Let us know if you see green flares
alright
The flares are rock passage, thats your way out
Green flares by a river?
^ that's an extract, head there once you're ready or whatever
I NEEDA CROSS IT ITS FUCKING FLOODED
Chill with caps pls
anywhere between 1-4 scavs around that area, including 1 ontop of the rocks
ok i killed them

oh it didnt let me grab the juice cannon]
okay
one more scav kill for punisher
Hey I'm level 27 and this is kind of my first wipe but, does anyone else here feel like they can't play the game individually? I try really hard to just suck it up and go into a raid but I'll get to the ready screen and just cancel it. Seems like every time i go in I get this huge rush of anxiety. Does anyone have just any sort of method to gaining confidence so I can stay calm in any kind of fire fight?
Even though I've been playing for a few months I'm still struggling to find confidence as a solo player, even after having a few successful days of good raids.
I mean I get something similar in that I sometimes just can't work up to even start the game.
I am also curious as to how the wipe works
From my knowledge it happens every 6-8 months or so.
And it wipes everything so all the gear, all of the levels, gone.
yep, everything, your hideout progress too
I understand that, I mean what about the equipment that you start with? Is it the same as when you initally buy the game?
Yes
is it better to upgrade before or after a wipe?
doesnt really matter much, when u upgrade you will get ingame mail with extra items from the bigger edition
does it use a labs card if i take it into a offline raid on labs
you need one to start an offline labs raid, but if u go offline it does not consume the card
is it worth me going to kill raiders on labs to get guns
yes
dont take guns, take attachments
@lapis surge just don't think about it, go into raids. it's called gear fear in general
Is there a reliable spawn for antique vase? Hevent been able to find one in over a week
@lapis surge it goes away in your second wipe in general when you lose everything
@silver void idea shelfs/bookcases
Yeah... I think I just need to run it over and over.
interchange*
I think I'll be a bit better second wipe
Thx onyx
@snow osprey killing raiders is a good way to get some end tier loot, but its pretty risky
especialy on labs
if your confident in your skins then you should go there and farm raiders, lots of people do that
thanks, is it common for other player to interfere while farming raiders on labs
killing raiders is easy, you just half peak them. in labs it is common for chads to rush shots... and hackers
Why are there no RB-OP keys on market right now?
nope literally none
cause i have one that im never gonna use but i dont know how much they go for
and its not telling me
ok
apparently 330k
theres some good stuff in there
Folder with intelligence spawn on Desk
One Drawer
Valuables spawn on shelf
says the wiki
What map?
any rb keys you get are on reserve
Ah got it
most san keys are usefull
I only run factory so I don't really care about keys
keys are good, they make tons of money'
It's not like I have a choice lol
how do not die in any given situation and get out of an area alive
Literally go prone in a body or corner
4 guys managed to walk past me when I was proned in plain sight,
also sound is important, people can hear you before they see you
haha, reminds me of this one guy proned on the floor, and i tried looting his body but the context action didnt show
that's when i shot his head RIP
the gunpowder is to get an ammo case
save powder for ammo case and put all that unnecessary ammo in it
what's so bad about the GSSH?
It gives you hearing AIDS whilst just walking around
i figure it's better than no headset?
1/3rd the price of tacsport? is that still a bad deal?
I still use it if I come across it on my scav.. But i exclusively purchase Sordins or Tacsports
don't know if you caught that i'm level 8
there is a youtube video of comparisons, I don't use gsh bc it ruins my ears
Honestly a lot of them as long as you dont used closed-ear helmets like the kiver i would consider headphones optional outdoors
it's harsh as hell but at least you can hear people from <10 feet away
gssh destroys ur eardrums if u go thru a bush, no headphones is better
if you can listen to it without going insane, power to you
I've stopped buying penis helms because i always get them back undamaged when i die so apparently they're not doing shit
most ammo pens lvl 3, lvl4 up gives better protection
but yeah, no damage means it doesnt matter
penis helms have saved me alot of times from scavs
i can count on one hand the number of times i've gotten back a damaged penis helm and that's including when i didn't get it back at all
penis helm only protect top of head IRC
head eyes isnt it
there are 5* damage zones on the head
the only other advantage to a penis is wearing a headset but i can only buy GSSH
if you get head/eyes head ears it wont get damaged
do quests get ll10 use sordins
other helmets let you wear headphones
not helms i can buy at level 8 though right?
its ssh68 or nothing
@lament portal yea you can't buy, but it doesnt really matter. high tiear ammo will kill you fast either way
i figure saving money on shit that isn't gonna help anyway is prudent
a PACA will save me from some scavs
at least until i can fire back if they have the drop on me
PACA does almost nothing, most ammo will pen it. you should peak scavs so they can't see you and you shoot them. its an art that takes a while to learn
still wear paca though, it will reduce damage
paca is just to stop one shots from shotgun scavs
yeah
helps vs pistol scavs too
and it's cheap enough that it doesn't burn money
from traders its kinda overpriced but you should get it back most of the time
so far my money is still moving up and i'm on 3.3m
and insurance is cheap and no one wants it anyway, exactly
I exclusively use the penis helmet, or the ratnik to mount NVG
faceshield if I go factory
i know my money will instantly be gone when i hit 10 because i'm gonna flea a few things for quest
i do have a gfx card and a few other things i've been holding for that reason also
hold onto FIR gfx card for quest
need like 3 of them i think
yeah, need 5 total fir
yep gfx and flash are FiR
tried to be semi-smart about what i kept but my barter items have gotten out of control
@lament portal Pick up a Lucky Scav junk box.
Level 8. I'd love one
You'll get one from a task eventually but grab one as soon as you hit 10 😄
hmm yeah that's not really that expensive compared to its valur
what task do you get a junkbox from?
and then i almost have the gunpowder for an ammo case
its quite cheap now too, for some reason
prob cuz its midwipe and people make em for money
No task gives you a junkbox iirc
it's nota quest so to speak but it's 100 10+ dogtags or a mag case and some tools
i'ma just buy it because i can't leave a piece of junk behind i think
i guess im having fun on woods with my mosin snipers
I have enough but spending so much feels like ripping out my intestines with how little gear I have atm
gotta use em while LPS GZH is still thorax one-shots
yeah, pre L10, youre pretty much onlyhave PACA for armor
@hushed iron o/
I always try to remember my scav when i get gear fear at low level
then it's a bit until Ragman 2 for the 6B3
its less gear fear and more I dont want to have to scav 10 times in a row so im not broke
i pretty much scav every time it pops up
thats fair
what are some ways to make money fast you guys use
not dying is my best way sadly
i rat scav interchange lol
but looting caches on interchange can be good
computers, back shelves
figured out how to get ragman to buy bags you just took shit out of.
1.remove shit from bag.
2. go to character and move bag 1 slot or more in any direction
3. ragman will buy bag/rig
i guess it refreshes to "no shit in bag" status if you move it in the character screen
is there a functional difference between the 2P and the 2IRS klesch combo devices?
same everything as far as i see.
yeah, that ir thing in the descriptions pretty misleading
both are combo flashlight+ir designator
it looks like there is a mounting difference possibly or something. the 2irs has an extra icon on the item
2irs has a blue plus icon that is missing from 2p
I believe the difference is that the laser on the 2IRS is IR, whereas the 2P isn't, making the laser more visible on the 2P. Technically the IR laser should be invisible without nightvision but 🤷
hole in the fence by mountains
the scav only extract
do i need to drop my pack or can i just go straight thru
On Reserve?
yea
You can go straight through 🙂
nice thanks 
👍
Can anybody help me with this pocket watch task 😅 I have the key and know where it is I just keep getting capped while I’m trying to extract
use the eft wiki
The wiki is supposed to do what? 😂 physically assist me?
yes, if you got the wiki open you become invincible, little known fact
😂 👍
I’ve been using it and I haven’t become invincible 😢
@late fulcrum it can open 2 extra extracts on factory map, also a room in factory + the shortcut doors on customs map near the gas station
sayless big dog
what's a budget but effective setup for the M4?
does goshan key always spawn on interchange?
which map will you recommend for beginners?
rn im playing customs only but i lose a lot of raids
Interchange is good for beginners; lots of areas that don't see much PMC action but has a ton of useful loot
@cerulean merlin if you mean goshan cash register key, it spawns in a white bus near new gas station on customs + inside jackets + pockets/bags of scavs
ok thanks
Especially if you stay away from the main mall area; go to Oli, Goshan and IDEA. Lots of good loot and PMCs don't tend to go there (except Oli) @blazing heron
i played interchange once but i was in idea and i didnt find a single create
and i spawned late liek 9 min
IDEA has a lot of offices where you can find computer parts, as well as some toolboxes for general loot.
I generally leave 6mins to get to an extract from the mall area
ill try it thnx
No worries, and good luck!
Id say customs is a good allaround map to learn the game, but if you wanna make money, then either interchange, or get a hidden stashes map for shoreline and go hunting those, or even reserve, but reserve has quite tricky/hard extracts, while having amazing military/tech loot
yes reserve is bad map for extracts in my opinion
Does anyone have a good idea of a budget yet effective M4 build?, I wanna my first big time raids and I got my armor and rig settled but not my weapons
I'd honestly recommend just playing around in Presets to get a feel for what works for you and what the cost of the parts are
545>556 if u want a budget build that can kill ppl for less than like 2k per round
556 is actually quite cost effective if u have peacekeeper lvl3 and use the m855A1 rounds from him
RPK is a good weapon that starts off with good recoil at base build
if u got pk leveled up then ya its not that bad
The dude already has an M4, he just needs parts lads 😄
sell to mechanic, buy 4 aks for the same price just slightly less effective
An M4 sells to Mechanic for ~50k. An AK starts at around 28k.
You'd get 2x AKS-74Us for that - there's no harm in trying the M4 if you already have one.
ive seen some at 15-20
@proper apex build would depend on many things, if u want a silencer or not, what map you going in(if u will need long range sight too or just for CQC), also what do you consider a budget weapon cost(for some its below 100k, for some its 200 ect...)
My budget is 120-130k
if u dont have flea u cant even properly mod an m4
I unlocked flea already
for the whole gun or attachments
but idk what to do, should I buy a SOPMOD II or make an M4 myself?
could anyone give me a hand completing prapors 3rd quest i cant do it
depends on your trader levels too, since some parts are also way cheaper from the trader than from flea, if u have em unlocked
yep this is worth an intel folder on flea
@bold kernel cause its needed for a gunsmith task I believe and its not found in raid that often I guess
best rig for space/$?
I like the Triton tbh. Cheap but tons of space.
@proper apex hmm, then I dont believe u have access to many parts at a good price, you sure u wanna use an M4?
@proper apex Here's a pretty basic build:
Not too expensive but has decent ergo and recoil.
Optic left empty for you to pick as you see fit.
No worries. You can make adjustments as you see fit, but that should be a reasonable base to get you started, hopefully!
stats?
68 Ergo, 66 vert, 172 hori, 871 velo.
Sight will drop ergo to 65/66. A better mag should recover 1 or 2 ergo.
Moonshine again :/
Ayyyy, that's like a 100k loss
Ye
Good times, my dude 😄
I had some very poor Moonshine runs from all I'd saved up - have had much better luck with Intel so far

hey guys, I have a btc farm up finally, I was wondering which barter trades with mechanic are the best ones to use with btc
been away for a few months, just coming back in. No update to Customs?
Do I lose my items if I do offline raids?
no
oh ok
@stable shell delayed again xP, to early next week
@stable shell but theres patch notes already out, same patch new shoreline boss named Sanitar too, fecking grenade launcer, new ammos, scav AI changes
righto, ta
Was the mosin cheaper last wipe? I just started playing this wipe and I don’t remember it costing so much
Yes
if i put something in my pouch, but i die during the raid
am i still able to put it up on flea market
No
Wizard, they upped the price cause ppl were going naked with mosins and ruining ppl
or something
yeh lots of people complained that it was way too easy to take a cheap mosin and kill a full geared person
Is BT ammo good?
@tacit sleet it is good, just bear in mind it's tracer ammo.
Thanks
An at least in RL, tracers work both ways
what should be the very first thing i do in my hideout?
rest and heating
then save money for your actual equipment
once you have enough burn money and levels try getting scav case
that's me personally
the rest are useless for now since I'm level 15
@fathom jasper ingame too
yeah im only level 5 should i just not wrry about it til im a higher level
yeah don't worry about it
hideout isn't that important low level
heating and rest just helps with recovering
okay thanks
is there a cancel action key?
holy shit a scav literally runs up on me i couldnt do anything
clicking left/right mouse a few times cancells healing
what about drinking
I believe the drinks that have numbers, like 60/60 water bottle can be cancelled
but those without numbers/durability cant
it does generally take a moment for the action to cancell and your char to ready up his weapon again, so its not instant
but quite fast
yep thats all i needed, scav didnt see me for fat 3 seconds then shot me
if you right click, while you are healing, it will cancel
Same goes with using a CMS
anyone have an idea why this sight doesn't go on this gas tube? they both clearly are picatinny compatible🤔
If you do you can 'edit preset' (on a weapon) and see what fits on stuff (if you have it discovered)
But just from looking at it, I believe its a holder for small sights only, not big ones like the one you got
hmm i guess
yeah I believe the cobra is just a bit too long
I’m just wondering usually when i play the ping is really high and when I look at the servers they are at like 1000 I keep restarting my wifi and that stuff but it doesn’t work and I can’t play the game properly
oo other question: are AI scavs normally aggressive to player scavs in dorms?
because they were to me without me doing anything that could piss em off
They are raiders @frail forum they will always attack you
it wasn't scav boss tho
They are Reshalas a.k.a boss guarda
nope, i'm 99% sure
Guard
I was at gas and some svacs started shooting at me
When I killed them all i saw they were guards
i forgot to check the name but they definitely weren't wearing the stuff they usually do and also weren't pushing like normally
and they can spawn in dorms? didn't know
anyone level 15 or below want to group up? dm me! NA east 18+
hi is there a way to refil fuel tanks after its used up?
no
ha k
If you don't bring armour you will be cursed and all scavs will bum rush you
Pistol kills are easy, just run to interstate tech stores and kill hatchbros
Why does everyone that kills me have a gold name
But theres soooo many of them
Yep
This game is amazing so they spend the extra dollars for it shiyt I would too if I wasn’t dying 90% of the time
Right
I’m always dying
Though a bigger secure can prolly means they extract more loot when they die
True
It almost feels like it’s just the big spenders constantly killing me lol
Most player have EOD edition
I wonder why that is
pay-to-win/skip-grind advantages
you still need to be decent to progress tho it wont make you die less
Jeager skip is huge advantage
True
But just having not having to do quests at the beginning didn’t mean much because you still have to do those tasks anyway for the later tasks
And also you get a lot of do from the tasks to level up
I have a question, I recently got the game. How do wipes work? Is it every update or is it on certain updates? Will it be announced before hand?
@gloomy viper wipes are usually about once every 6 months more or less
do skills reset too?
usually everything gets reset
I see so its kind of pointless to try and grind skills
@analog fulcrum thanks and when was the last reset or when should i look forward for the next reset?
unfortunate
It was about 1 and a half/2 months since last wipe
basically we most likelly have atleast 4 more months
thanks for all the info!
@slim maple not really pointless, they are needed for upgrades in hideout and quests
ah right I forgot about hideout
yeah, some skills will need a certain lvl for hideout and some for tasks/quests
lv2 strength the bane of life
Hello im new but i just keep dying. Im trying to play like a rat but that isnt working and i have tried to play like a chad but that doesnt work either. Any tips?
Extract camping is always an option
Who ever said that it takes honor to win a fight?
@pallid light - Start anyalising why you died, or even when you win fights - how did they know your location? did you move in an open area? did you make noise? did you charge into a fight, playing like a Rat or a Chad (or even the lame advice above of extract camping) is not going to matter if you cant figure out what you are doing wrong, 98% of your deaths are not luck or bad fortune they are you took a risk for a reward, and it didnt go well -- find out what risk is worth what reward, and getting out alive should always take precidence
Also find a squad to play with for a bit, but have good headphones while you do so
Honestly this game rewards camping in general, especially extract camping so... why take a risk going into a fight when you can catch someone with their pants down for an easy kill? Honestly, if it didn't work people wouldn't do it. The game has a bit of a learning curve to it and you will learn over time. I would suggest playing with experienced players that are willing to teach you and watch you in raid to give you tips.
@pallid light accept death, avoid common spots, you're going to have a 15-30% survival rate at most, so a lot of times dying can't be avoided
I think there are better rigs out there
kk
I mean i started like a week ago and have made 300 ruble profit. Ive got one friend who has this game but doesnt play it often
Hey for Huntsman Path: Controller, the other guys have to be flashed, not me, right?
Other guy has to be blind
Thank christ
what tier armor I can pen with /366 tkm fmj?
!ammo
Thanks both of you
Class 2, nothing else really.
Bad ammo
someone should really update this
I did a bigger mistake today and picked eco ammo from task reward xD
There are quests where you pick? <.<
every (not sure about fence) trader have a tab with tasks
Hey everyone, I developed a app where you can see the Flea Market prices (currently only for Android phone). Its fast and you can search through every item. Its free and has no ads on it. Download now from here! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jm.ratapp I will add a lot more features soon! Now you never need to search the internet or ask your friend what item is best to bring from raid!
@desert compass believe it or not.
But after 450h I do have done some quests :P
I was just wondering what you mean by 'pick'.
When you do finish a Quest you dont pick.
You get all of it.
Only thing is when you got to choose between who you give a questitem to
keep or sell the thicc items case when I get it?
what?
after doing the private clinic quest, is it better to keep or sell the thicc items case
keeep
I wrote that I used a ammo which I got as a reward
@hollow falcon oh wow looks amazing, if it manages to continue showing accurate prices Im gonna be using it alot instead of the tarkov market site, thx alot!
I did a bigger mistake today and picked eco ammo from task reward xD
@desert compass
You dont 'pick' from quest reward.
You always get all of it.
@analog fulcrum good news, it uses the exact same prices as tarkov-market.com 🙂
@languid flare they are saying that they picked (used) ammo that they got after completing a task
Yeah, i got that NOW as well when they said used. <.<
I didn't realise you understood due to your need to repeat yourself...
The only thing you can pick is who you want to hand in the item/quest for certain quests
where do i get weapons cases as a level 11 without 3 mil
12 bitcoins lv2 mechanic *
mechanic*
basically u dont
as lv12 player you'd be selling most things you find
@rough hare i posted mine literally a second later than what he wrote.
I could have deleted it, but why?
@languid flare well you posted two messages,so...
aight guys it doesnt matter does it
Nope.
was this a good run
A run with blue fuel is always a good run
Then key, sugar, flash drive, some building and quest stuff
Yep.
9.5/10
Can someone tell me how much is RB BK key on the flea ?
