Whats a good method to practice PVP abilites?
shoot people
you can go in with a pistol and try to jump on some people in reserve
just aim for the legs is all
or find a npc and take his gear
i just play scav, every chance i get and i dont back out, i play scav to literally chase down pmcs
dont be afraid to engage thats how you learn
just try to out smart them
remember to take a look at your surroundings too sometimes there's a good place to escape and figure out what the next plan is
I watched a guy jump out of a building window in reserve while his enemies fought each other. After they were done, he shot the last guy who was too busy looting, took all his gear and left.
i creeped up on a guy on reserve who was busy looting and capped him and took all the loot
Is it possible in the white horse building on reserve to jump from the second floor to the staircase ?
could anyone help with prapor postman pat
postman pat postman pat and his black and white cat
I just got the game running on good FPS had quite a bit of practice on horrible performance. Anybody want to do some practice raids?
@bold kernel Just go into LFG once you have the package and make a 5 man group
I havent got the package I die to fast in factory π
need to get package in customs to do the factory part
im on the one where I gotta get the letter from the scav
in the green chem room
I think its called
Sorry my bad, confused myself haha
best way for factory tasks is to get a 5 man. Factory has a 5 man limit now so you own the whoel raid. Just your team vs scavs
When I think factory quests I can only remember the PTSD quest delivery from the past
Did you launch it from launcher or EXE?
you cant launch it from the EXE
only launcher
oh fawk
If you are trying to add it to steam/making a shortcut make it to the launcher
where csn I find anew one π
just click install from the tarkov website again
and it will redownload the launcher
I just got team killed by Joranimoe, he also has no game sense and if you call him out he team kills you. Heres screenshot to prove
Imagine that, new players that are not very good. This is certainly the place to do things like this.
This is also far from being proof of an intentional team kill.
Your right should of just recorded my gameplays
The 203 key is used on what map?
customs
@wicked anvil ive heard some horror stories about people TKing and stuff. recording your games might be a good idea for your future games. just be cautious, its happened to some of my friends, not a good time
also, is intellegence center worth it for my hideout?
@delicate wren Yeah, had like 100k+ of loot
damn dude teamkilling a level 9 thats just fucked up
are completely certain it was on purpose?
Yeah
intentional TK for your team mates gear normally is an instant thing in my experience.
as in you get killed as soon as you spawn. Pretty rampant if you join a random in the game lobby.
Word
Even from your description seem you antagonized him as well.
if you call him out he team kills you.
@wicked anvil Does not make it right of course. But likely have been handled better in general.
not necessarily, I had teammates shoot me in the back while opening the marked room cause there might have been a sick case inside or killing you at the extract so they dont have to carry your loot to the extract yourself π
I mean honestly if you dont have the emotional stability to receive critism about how you play a video game the internet and online gaming in general just isnt for you
its like saying its your fault the school shooter killed everybody because you didnt become friends with him
@ocean fable Which is why I said normally π TK for gear found in raid is another, related issue. Also Tks because of lack of communication, or lapse of paying attention. I have also TKd while just screwing around. Typically with my son thinking it is funny to shoot him, so I shoot him back with a much bigger bullet.
calling out has different connotation than criticism.
yeah I hear you I have done the same but that is with friends. And while an accidental teamkill can always happen killing your teammate you grouped with intentionally on a public discord servers with rules of conduct that prohibit that very behaviour is just a lack of self control and a sign of being a weak minded and small individual even if you he called you a son of whore. Just leave him behind, exit the raid and dont play with said person again. Grieving people in video games because of a difference of opinion is one of the more toxic traits of some humans
I agree. Just like if you do get TKs in a game, leave their voice chat and stop playing with them. Don't go calling them out again. especially complaining about their lack of skill and game knowledge in a beginner text channel.
True, whats done is done it wont change. I feel like Kushturtle added that part to state a reason why he got killed him to add some context but idk. The other guy not having game sense is not one of the mainpoints I took from that post π
if any lower lvls need money or exp dm me
:)
I extracted with 1 second before the end, and I did not get my stuff back, happened to any1 else
having trouble finding antique vase, ive been hitting safes in shoreline and bags but still nothing
try customs big red
if you got a custom's office key you'll surely find one in the safe
I found one once
just be careful getting out
having trouble finding antique vase, ive been hitting safes in shoreline and bags but still nothing
@silver void Keep searching; your attention skill will get higher giving you 'a higher percentage for better loot'; you'll get one eventually
@strong barn ok thanks
anyone else keep gatting clapped trying to get bronze pocket watch
yep
Should have stopped at "anyone else keep gatting clapped"

ye 2:50am.
Dang
cant sleep so im vibin.
RIP
hey guys, what is the best use for dog tags? I have a lucky scav case and items case so I'm unsure what to use mine for
who knows maybe it'll have another use for next update
I sell mine but there are several barters for them
vog-17 or vog-25?
ye but which one would u prefer.
I'd honestly go with a vog 17 it might have a bit more delay but it'll black out a leg
70 damage
I got screwed over by a grenade since someone wanted to chad 2 scavs but he ended up dying
they took his gear and threw a nade and blacked out my leg
i forgot to use painkillers beforehand so I got screwed
np
I would do vog-25 because its just a bomb and will kill them if they are near it. But honestly, both work. The VOG -17 is easier to get, though you can craft the VOG 25-s in the workbench
hey anyone want to get in chat with me and help me out with my hideout im not sure what i should be crafting
for profits i mean
34 with almost fully upgraded hideout i just dont know what to craft
wanna get in a call real quick?
Nah I'm too low level. I only like looking at the market. I know nothing about hideouts at the moment.
I only know what to get in the beginning
ahh i see ill figure it out
high tier ammo should get you a pretty penny though
don't know what is needed to make it since wiki won't tell me
nevermind I had to click on the item
Hey I just started playing about an hour ago anyone wanna call and help me out? My computer does take a while to load some maps though
Do you know how much they cost?
like 30 dollars on amazon or something
Damn I just checked and a 1 tb is around 130
yea
if you only play tarkov and some steam games
256 should be more than enough for windows and tarkov on it
@tiny stag keep them
there are a lot of trades for dog tags
and some of them are in the 100's
which trades you recommend> I have a full dog tag containter
I also have the scav case and items case - the big trades
I mean, it depends on what you need, another items case doesnt sound bad imo
if you have nothing left to get then yeah, sell them to therapist
do you have 2 scavs case?
just 1 but I have a thicc case so maybe not needed
thanks sir! I will trade to therapist maybe
unless do you get FIR if you do the trade?
FIR?
Found In Raid. A little checkmark near the item.
oh also, I need to kill 30 scavs on interchange for a quest. what's a good cheap sub machine gun to run to try do this task?
not looking to pvp so will be taking really bad ammo too I think
@tiny stag Try the Klin with 30 round mags of PBM or PMM for armor pen; or sp8 or sp7 if you want to leg meta people with flesh damage
Its about 20k for the gun and 2k per mag; but it has 1000rpm compared to its cousin the Kedr with 900rpm
can anyone help me im level 19 but very bad looking for someone to run customs with
@strong barn Thanks very much
should I upgrade to lvl 5 armor with this kit?
helmet too?
I plan on running in a group btw
nah with a group youβll be fine
Put painkillers in your hot bar or ibouprofen (canβt spell) unless propital does that
I usually pop it at the start and if I need to, use propital
no
kekw
best way to level jaeger?
is there a map/item i can farm other than selling just to him or is it just that
just that?
just buy a gun from him and sell it back for the money requirements
if he isnt selling guns buy a shotgun from the flea and sell it to him
i need help getting to lvl 10 and completing my tasks
best thing to use dogtags on?
okay
anyone that knows a good way to get money pls tell me in looking for group
im level 19
right click caches
walk around the map collecting them with your scav
free money
so i got a red rebel pick and insured it on accident, and now i cant sell it
anything i can do
cry
@bold kernel buy antique axe off flea and sell it back to him
o yea
If anyone has mechanic lvl 3, I need you to grab a pistol grip from him. I will pay you 50k rubles.
need it to complete a quest
ello?
lol cant even do hatchling runs at night to do task
@smoky idol what task?
aquarius
customs?
yeah
hm
player scav always runs up there then kills me lol
thats the one u only need to get there isnt it
i guess good for them, they get a lvl 11 dogtag which they can sell in the market for a couple thousand rubles if theyre even worth that much
lol worth fuck all XD
can someone explain bitcoins to me real quick?
i found tetriz and idk if its more worth to sell it or trade it for a bitcoin
@bold kernel come in chit chat 3
brand new to the game, which map should i stick too until i gain my footing on tarkov
customs has most of the early game quests
customs is the best for learning because its linier and easy
but
theres a lot of pvp
probably good to get used to heavy pvp in the early run of it though
kinda
but the pvp u will get at dorms will be fully geared players most of the time
to some extent
whats the best midtier helmet to buy?
penis helmet
ssh68
fuck me man
i felt so geared for a fight
then i peek out and get 2 shot in the thorax
cause 6b23 armor sucks i guess
does leveling sniper skill differ from level to level? as in needs more points from say 3 to 4 than 6 to 7?
yea
upgrading to EoD edition doesn't reset my stuff right?
kk ty
I just failed the guide twice on the last map, first run around I left labs for the end got deleted by a speedhack aimbotter, second time around my game crashed about 90 seconds before the exit and I got killed by a player scav while reconnecting
Some guy shot me and I just demolished him, I found armour called "6B43 Zabralo-Sh 6A" is it any good?
If it's not I can just sell it for 179k roubles.
its not that I am new but I am wondering if I could get some help anywhere? Does the sherpa hub help with things like that? If anybody is interested I am looking for 2 experienced EU players level 40+ running geared to the teeth with thermals, slick and good helmets to complete the guide. Offering 10 million rubels each as reward upon completion in form of items of your choosing (sicc cases, ledx, keycards ect.) DM me if interested
sounds like ur gon kill them lmao
@ocean fable guide is easy, i did it duo. just do labs first and just lurk around the edge of the rest of the maps 
and if you drop 10 million roubles to different players they will get banned for RWT lmao
real woney trading
oh shit
i need to sleep lmao
no
real world trading
RWT
never heard that being used
idk
im too tired
resident withholding tax
if i'll buy EOD do my stash in hideout gets on lvl 4 instantly ?
yes@bold kernel
what can actually e put in the luck scav junkbox??
@bold kernel @bold kernel
Its RMT
Real Money Transaction
@grand merlin all kind of barter item and 'junk' as the name says
can attatchments be put in?
no
No. That can be put in the items case and weapons one too i believe
What should I sell to skier and jaeger?
Whatever you need to get the sell stuff up.
Skier doesnt pay more in anything anymore.
JΓ€ger pays more for sniper and I think shotguns tho
Thanks
can sell melee weapons to jaeger too
That too, true
buying antique hatchets from flea and selling to jaegar is a decent way of doing it
hey lads when is the customs update droping?
could be tomorrow
I thought it was postponeed
again?
it was supposed to be friday
but that was postponed to early next week, so probably tomorrow? unless they postponed it again
lmao sure
I was on factory and I was sitting in a corner for about 5 minutes
and suddenly this guy, prefiring, runs around the corner and kills me. I didnt make a single noise in like 2 Minutes
He may have known you were there, especially if you had been shooting.
A lot of people can tell exactly where you are in that map if they have an earpiece and know the map well.
its just making me so mad
Well i am sure people weren't thrilled about getting killed by a dude sitting in a corner either. For all you know you killed a teammate of his and he called out your location.
But that's the game
For the guns... if you aren't planning on using it... sell it
as whole pieces? or separate attachments.
I also would not bother with anything shotgun
you need mp133 for quest but other than that trash them to mechanic or something
Also... please equip your alpha container
Why do you have your container in the stash?
You do not lose that (or any items inside) if u die.
No the alpha and melee stay after death. nobody can loot them
^ And all the items in it
yes
Yeah
Invite me to a call dude
ok
sorry
ok cool
so basically, sell guns that im not intending on using and keep the alpha container
can sell some of the random weapon parts (not magzines)
id sell respirator as well
keep the suppressors
what does respirator even do
is there anything specific in my stash that i should keep or sell
Dont need more than the base ssh helmet from ragman
guns you will use, suppressors, some sites and scopes, meds, some food items, ammo for guns you will use and magazines for guns you will use
i havent even done any quests
do them
ssh is garbo
keep the gas analyzer youll need it for an early therapist quest
penis (ssh) is best helmet π
im getting mixed signals here
Best helmet if you want to hear the drum right before you die.
im presuming ill sell the knives correct?
I have not been saved by it this wipe. I quit using it
you can keep those for barter trades with peacekeeper
I got saved by it at least 5 times
the brown handle gets you mp5 and the black handle gets you p226R
wait really
Yes
Not too worth tho, those barters, not in this state of wipe
good to know
Im selling everything I dont use
it gets you trade points with the merchant and you can sell the guns if you don't want to use them...
If you are a newbie and need a gun its an easy "free" gun to get
But yea, barters count toward amount traded with a merchant
right?
TheRapist will pay the most for anything she will buy which is like random jank. Mechanic gives most for guns... however, if you want trades with prapor or peacekeeper or w/e to put toward progress leveling those merchants. Then you may not want to always sell to mechanic
ok thank you all
Most guns are fine in this game. Ammo matters, but your aim matters more in most cases. I can take a PM like you start with and kill a dude that is decked out with a well placed headshot
still dont get wtf TAPE and LIGHT BULBS are for
Not everyone has a face cover on and even if they do you can kinda blind them and get out of there.
Some guy tanked two glock 17 shots in the head a few hours ago
And 9 other rounds
idk if head or not though
A face shield can protect people and the helmet can block/deflect shots.
@icy vigil If you aren't sure what an item is for, it's probably a barter trade or hideout
But if they do have a face shield each shot leaves a nice crack in it so it hinders their ability to see
if u can face them and get away they will often raise their shield to see
ok thanks guys
A lot of it is situational, but honestly I rarely see guys with face shields this wipe.
selling slug rounds too
Here is a true story. Was helping a new guy a couple months ago. He ran into a geared player that was trying to camp him out. He shot the guy in the face with a 9x19 pistol a few times. Dude could not aim for crap after that and he ended up being able to get away.
He was badly injured, but he got away and was able to heal up and limp out.
is there any like recommended body armour/helmet or like sell any below this or that
IMO helmet is waste of time. if you find one, put it on but other than that... don't waste the money.
For armor... you will only be saved from buckshot with class 2 armor that will be available to you right now and 30k for it is a scam
The problem is, if you go in without body armor and a gun you will get tagged and cursed which means AI get a hard on for you and will detect you easier and be very aggressive, which can make them hard to deal with.
should i sell paracord?
ummm i would keep it for now. Maybe sell on fleamarket once you hit level 10
You will get double what TheRapist will buy it for
The big thing is do quests if you can, kill things and loot a little and get out alive.
If you die you miss out on a huge exp multiplier
I know
π
Alright im in a raid now
gl
i dont have any quests
or "tasks"
i spent quite a bit of roubles for a hideout early which might of been bad
Go to each merchant and go to the "tasks tab in the upper left"
oh only one is TheRapist
If nothing else, prapor and rapist should have one for you.
Nice
fuck i just sold my shotguns and now hes asking for mp133
Customs im doing the therapist quest with the water in 206
you didn't have a 133, you had a 153
133 is pump action, 153 is semi auto
I just went there as usual. <.<
does that safe generally have anything good inside
cus i dont want you to say yes
XDD
idk
it's a normal safe
!ammo
I donβt understand how to survive solo. I am extremely careful, walk slowly and always am looking around/stopping to listen and aim etc, but then I just get beaned from somewhere and lose all my shit in 2 min or less
When you are doing scav runs?
You have two "characters" to choose from. Scav and PMC.
PMC = The person you can equip and level in your stash. Scav will shoot on sight
Scav = Random gear and other scavs wont shoot unless you shoot them
can we do a raid, me u and @stone moss
yeah ik what a scav is
i was a scav
and i got shot at
by a scav
Then it was a player scav
can somone please teach me to play
@still rampart I'll help
anyone down to play, im somewhat new too
Yes, we can do a raid. As long as you can hop in comms.
Germany
Actual EU π
Anyone experienced want to show me the ropes
loool
What map?
ive been playing a lot of interchange
idc i dont know any of them lol
i know the exits but thats it
Wow
#3 man squad 10
at the top
Just to mess with you
..
rip
this luck though back to back
Nice
If i have already bought lvl 2 stash and ill buy EOD will i get my 3.5mil back ?
I don't believe so you only get the items from EOD in the mail
yee i know
So if you play in offline mode can you set it to no scaves so you can run around and check stuff out
yep
Thanks
So when you and a team mate play together do you spawn in different locations and have to meet up
Ok thank you for the help man
np
Pog
anybody willing to help show me the ropes?
well my first player kill was a player scav
who basically ran right at me
in the open
1 shot with mosen
Envyy come to 3 man squad #10
sp exp you gain as a scav doesnt carry over to your pmc correct?
that you cant check im guessing
whats a good kit for someone with 2 mil?
you can check your scavs lvl and skills when youre in a raid as scav
@sacred vapor How much of that are you willing to spend on a kit? I'd suggest just grabbing some class 3 armour and an AKM with PS ammo or something. Mod it out a little for recoil reduction etc but that should set you back 100k-150k, incl backpack and rig.

@marsh bluff well, its gonna save u from thorax/stomatch hits from shotgun scavs with buckshot, also some really bad ammos from some other guns
but any player who knows what hes doing is gonna have ammo thats going to completelly ingnore the class 2 of paca
yeah ok so its anti scav for when im doing exp/gun runs
but isnt nessesary if you engage scavs correctly
ye its mostly scav protection, but they might hit u in the face annyway
rn i just take the steel helmet and comtacs i was taking paca but i feel at this point as long as i engage properly it shouldnt make a difference and will save me some cash
at least untill the first armored rig
ragman lvl2 will have a class 4 armored rig for like 48k, that one is worth the money
super cheap for class 4 + dont need to buy a rig
yeah that ones what im planning to add to my setup once i unlock it
im learning how to engage scavs properly rn anyways
@marsh bluff Paca is only protection against buckshot & pistol Scavs
Or, well... low tier ammo scavs generally
yeah seems that way i think i shoudl be focusing on learning proper engagement ratehr than using that armor becaulse ultimatly it doesnt really do anything that proper engagement cant solve
the level 4 armored rig is a different story but i dont ahve that yet
Yeah, the 6b3tm is gold
That + ssh helmet (penis one) will be your standard go to equipment when you got it.
And about using Paca or not... well, honestly. Up to you if you mind spending the money, cause it DOES give a small protection against scavs, which can help
ultimatly i want to transition to a scav run for cash, pmc run for pvp
rn im just oo low level wich is why im going after scavs
PMC is where you can make the most cash as your scavs won't have access to lucrative keys
true
Also, doing Quests can be fun :D
I prefer that over pure PvP
quests.....the quests so far seem like nightmarish grinds
They could be better, I will say that
i need some help with quests if anyone wants to im not that bad at the game but i still have no idea what im doing
like the 2nd quest taht requires you to fight through dorms on customs.... thats not really achievable for me XD
@rough hare If you have em, might as well use em
Maybe you get lucky.
Otherwise... 85k
so don't sell the moonshine on flea then
I mean... Scav Case is a gamble either way, its up to you if you wanna lose the money now or a little later
But if you dont use em, you wont get lucky either
You might make some crazy profit! Or you might make a large loss. More likely, you'll break even, more or less.
i got a rr first 85k case xd
i mean the real key is that there is a statistical average payout
The real money we made are the friends we found along the way.
... wait.
how to i search for dog tags on flee plz i cant find them ?
There are none on it
oh
is the object #21ws frequently used by people on interchange? Ive checked the area multiple times before but not a single time has someone opened the container. Goes for less than 200k on the flea, thinking it might be agood purchase since i very frequently play interchange.
i don't have any money or weapons could someone give me some cash to afford a gun pls
scav run.
its sad lmao
when i started playing eft i was barely scraping by π
trying to stab people is hard lol
@bold kernel send me a screenshot of your stash by DM, if you're really broke i'll help you out, but i want to know for sure i wont get a false positive RMT
snipping tool
prn scrn
or many other ways
aight thanks lmao
can somone teach me to play

Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
i got on and its telling me i have to install the game again even tho its still on my ssd
reload ur launcher
i did
oh
you have to reroute the game files to ur ssd, instead of the files on your hardrive @bold kernel
@bold kernel
should i hand in a gpu for farming pt 4 or sell it on the flea?
lol
use it nerd smh my head
smh my head
does ssd help alot with these wierd loading times?
yea
Yes
you know how to move your files to it and stuff right @marsh bluff
if i move my stuff to ssd will i need to download it again
no
you just need to redirect your file thingies in your launcehr
like i poster earlier
^
Any broke noobs need help dm me
Ok so, i have a very weird request
Theres a part i need for gunsmith 4
but its not on the flea
and i dont have mechanic level 2 yet
so i need someone to buy this 6k rouble thing and put it on the market for me 
Doesnt work that way
if u buy it its not fir so u cant put it on flea
They can't relist items bought from market π
If bought of trader its not FiR
Nevermind i just remembered that
BUT they could drop it in a raid
god damnit BSG, thanks for making it hard for casual players 
thats what they want sooooooooo
ive been outta the game for a bit. im level 18 but i started playing another game, then another game, then i got a switch lmao
The idea is that you just progress to mechanic 2
so i need to get back into it
unfortunate
Yeah, im thinking thatd be easiest
it'd be so fun to do so
Well if anyone wants to jam with someone who just needs to shake off some rust then im down. I havent played since before the backpack update
so i think tehres some other changes that happened tho
Does anyone know how to get a pt lock for the gunsmith part 2 quest?
@bold kernel how do you reroute it if it wont open
@wanton sparrow well, u can buy it from skier lvl2 if u got him unlocked
i cant reroute it becuase the launcher wont open now XD
@marsh bluff ehh did you move the launcher files or the game files? Since I think they use 2 different locations
same location. so all of it
@analog fulcrum I dont, im only level 11 and havent spent that much yet
ehh pretty sure my BSG launcher and the game folder are in different locations
pretty sure you pick locations when you install XD
yeah but I think you first pick location of launcher when installing it, then inside the launcher u pick where to install the game itself, so 2 locations, Im not 100% sure of this but I cant check since I wont be home til tomorrow
yes but in this case the second location is the launcher folder
ah so you chose to install the game inside the launcher folder?
well yes
wont let me change the directory now that ive seperated them anyways
"there is no acess"
run as admin to teh rescue
but i still dont know how to move the launcher, though i suppose i dont have to
well then, if you wanted to move the game to your SSD, I think u had to move out only the game folder, leaving the launcher files/folder in original place, so you could open the launcher and reroute the game folder
dont need to have the launcher itself on an SSD to improve loading times, just the game itself
yeah i just like things neat and tidy but that saves space
i got it working probably now
tyvm
12.7 LESSGF GOOO
less than 15 hours til the update starts, for annyone unsure of the timezones
do things to build the hideout have ot be found in raid?
nop
doesnt matter if the items are FIR or not when upgrading hideout, crafting things in hideout and bartering with traders
quest items?
how much do lab cards from therapist cost?
@marsh bluff some quests need items to be FIR, some quests it doesnt matter
@marsh bluff Quests tell you "Found in Raid X" when it needs to be FiR
If it doesnt say that, it can be not FiR
ty
well ssd works well enough, now i spend my time waiting for players XD an improvement
Will near always be waiting for players now
alright so my friend was trying to buy the game and it would not let him, so he paypaled me the money to buy it as a gift and it would not let me do it, i tried paypal and my card and neither of them worked, is the site not working for other people too? or am i just stupid and not doing something correctly
i just got this game 10 minutes ago can anyone help
if anyone needs help feel free to DM me, but I only play Reserve
One thing you should know straight from the start is that paca armor at this point doesn't stop anything, so you save money not buying it, and bullets determine the armor penetration and damage and not the gun.
anyone know how commonly raiders spawn on revere
wikipage for Reserve should know it
@snow osprey gluhar is 43% and raiders, i would say are around 30%
ok
Anyone want to team up Scav run?
@modest dirge im down g
Nice man let me finish this one and we can game
where do my mags go when i reload sometimes?
if you double that R or your reload keybind it quickly reloads your gun and drops the mag
when that happens just look at the floor for a mag
Duos for customs 18+ lvl 25+ nice kits dm me
does anyone want to help me know what I should do with the stuff in my inventory and show me around a couple of different maps
run interchange, stick to to the garage, kill scavs, get to level 10
thats my crrent
plan
yo anyone wanna help me unlock jaeger? i dont know anything about woods
its next to a shack by the wrecked plane, look up a woods map and it shouldnt be too bad
im still at teh point where scavs wreck me half the time
@marsh bluff you still need help?
enh its just a process of learning slowly is all
once i hit level 10 things are going to go a bit smoother because my raid profits will double
I can help you run woods
im practicing my interchange run
gotcha
id recommend u do quests to lvl up
quests are garbo and you cant really do them unless you know how to play and survive in the first place since they require that you sucessully extract
so by nessesity one must learn how to survive and extract before one can do the quests
offline mode is always there for you to learn the exfils
something tells me it would take me a long as time to level if what im doing is rushing dorms and dieing 40 times
then even if sucessful having to get out with a pocket patch
watch
like thats a bit more than a noob can acomplish
but i CAN get into the parking garage on interchange, kill scavs, and get out with guns and loot enough to keep doing it
Its the most basic of fetch quests; if a noob can't figure that out he has a lot more to work on then just this quest
Maybe the new update 2morrow too customs will bring people away from the bronze watch location
doubtful with 50k different dorm rooms and keys
New keys etc are possible
Its a completely new area to many many players favorite map; Im sure it will draw attention
true but it would take what? 20 new keys ?
@marsh bluff
to overtake the loot of dorms?
@marsh bluff
Implying dorms has loot; dont make me laugh
The loot there is from the pmc's who die fighting over marked room or reshala; there is barely anything there except safes
When the map has no other hotspot; yes
The new area may change that
We have to wait and see; dorms will still be hot
It wont just be that railway by gas anymore
a whole new area to the other gas station will be opened
so you have a much more circular area instead of linear
i get pinned between gas and dorms or construction and gas
you have more escape routes with the new update; even if you manage to get the watch
yeah i hope its a decent change
there will be a cross over at the old gas station now leading to zb-1011
alledgedly
but for perspective ive only managed to extract 3 times
i have exactly 1 player kill and it was a player scav
right
your skills will level alongside your pmc
so 2nd quest is a bit more than i can do rn
making you run faster; further; shoot with less recoil etc
so i farm interchange garage to learn to kill scavs (who still fuck me 50% of the time) and have ocasional pvp fights
atm your a level 1 or so in all categories so anybody who plays the game at all more or longer than you will run faster than you; shoot with less recoil etc
ill leave the graphics cards and power loot to people who can play, ill take my guns and scav loot
keep playing; dieing and your pmc's skills will improve and you will move better and have a deeper pool of stamina
Also less chance to bleed; break limbs etc
its a grind
yup, its not too bad either
how many raids have you been on?
there isnt all that much to learn about killing scavs
untill i get level 2 ragman/proper/therapist im basically running around in scav gear no matter what anyways
so getting my gear from scavs is the best thing i can do rn
becuase they have better shit than i can buy
(30 raids)
i need some help but all the beginners assistance channels are full can someone help me through some raids
SKS with PS
yeah when i dont ahve scav weapons left i buy that
anyone looking for quest help?
Hey i am pretty new to the game. wondering if anyone would wanna help me get some loot n tell me tips n stuff π dm me!
watching streamers on interchange and its like this giant brawl on 3rd for the tech stores and loot and they always get like double digit kill counts adn i cant help but kinda wtf at how inefficiant that is, sure the winner gets choice of loot but like 11 people got nothing, those are shit odds betting on being the best person on thrid floor, am i missing something or like are people just doing it specifically to play king of the hill
they are fighting over the ultra medical storage that regularly will spawn ledx and the tech light tech store which commonly spawns graphics card or tetris
there is usually a few groups that fight there most raids
yeah but they are also fighting each other
only one makes it aout alive
do they suceed enough for it to be worth it?
ledx is like 1.8 mil or something
often control of that area of the map can relate to control over majority of the big ticket loot in the mall
but even then its still king of the hill, your either the best or you lose
takes alot of confedence
just wierds me out because theres no way its that profitable
it is if you win
nobody has a 100% winrate
win 1 in a few and its worth it
so losses take out your winnings
i mean i cant even fight the scavs so it will be a while before i can take that kind of fight
then dont go there
you dont get better without fighting though
true but somethign tells me a level 6 tryingg to weigh in on that contest isnt the smartest person on 3rd floor
if you do not have ultra medical key do not fight that fight
if you cannot even unlock the door there is no reason to go for it
all the tech loot, plus someone else taking it XD
there is other tech stores that are not as dangerous
yeah theres no way im going up there i was just confused abt why so many go up there to king of the hill
just bought my friend tarkov but they cant find where to redeem the code, can someone help?
maybe they have to click their account
can anyone help me ive been playing for a week now and cant seem to get past level 4 any tips on leveling up faster and maps i should try to learn and play on more or is custom the easiest
play interchange, stick to the basement, kill scavs... not saying its a good idea its just what im doing and now im gaining exp and shit
easiest money that is safe is probably stash running interchange
well anything helps thank u
is boring, will probably only run into scavs, but should make good profits
i love this game so far its just hard getting around
hi i just started tarkov and im looking for some help
@marsh bluff do you find many scavs in the parking lot?
@tough token quests really ramp up in xp, so do as many as you can. Once you get decent you can play factory and slay scavs and the odd pmc
at least 4
Holy crap guys I just got the game and had a few excellent matches but can't figure out extract locations
here's a map
Escape from Tarkov. This is a helper webapp to provide you with maps, ammunition information, hideout items, quest items and much more!
you should learn in offline mode for a bit that way you can get out when you need to
What's a good beginner solo map?
Let's see
Been doing factory
Customs and Factory are quite small so unless you know how to PVP then you should not go there yet
I'd say a good beginner area would be Interchange or Shoreline.
Interchange mostly since there's a lot of hiding spaces
Shoreline has some nice loot but it's quite open.
Customs is fine too but tomorrow will be a new expansion update so it'll be different
!wiki Painkiller
!wiki Disposable Syringe
!wiki cordura
can somone teach me to rat on reserve
be rat
do defibulators actually revive team mates
or what are they used for?
!wiki defibulator
!wiki portable defibrillator
They're useless just like some keys
anyone tryna carry a newish player
anyone on to help guide interchange runs?
mine was a bit slow earlier
If i'm correct with this statement
This game is CPU/Ram heavy? looking to upgrade so
not so much cpu in my experience, more gpu and ram
π
what location is good for farming med items? wanna get a keytool
need h202 nacl and chlorine
time to learn reserve 
busted my brain memorizing interchange spawns last night
@bold kernel emercom medical in interchange, also ULTRa medical. anywhere on shorline resort, many places
for the first mission you get does handing over the mp-133 mean selling it to him?
how much is a marked key worth, I just got one on a scav run
@tame moth no, go to task screen\
@wide coyote right click + filterbyitem on the key, I think like 200k
Ok im only lvl 7 rn thats why Im asking, based on what ive seen tho I will probably keep it so I can get thicc loot from that room
Marked key for customs? Last I checked like 30k
is it normal to scav in 10 feet away from 2 pmcs
do crates ever respawn loot?
no
!ammo
I started in february this year playing tarkov
Just got my first Kappa
I feel relatively new to the rest of the players who have been playing for 3 years; but it feels fucking good
It does.
what should i prioritize for hideout?
what does the fist with "hard" or "impossible" mean when selecting maps?
literally nothing
some made up difficulty values
make sure u head to factory for a fun and easy time
im like a chad living beyond my means
im poor and bad at the game but i always at least rush office
arent we all man
factory is the best map
it just sucks when i get a vulkan-5 and CANT SELL IT because of fir
speaking of that the ppsh is my favorite gun hands down
ye olde BRRRRRRRRRT
doesn't it sell for about the same to ragman?
if i wanna play with other ppl that are new should i just hop into one of the beginners assistance chat rooms?
im rly new lmao
you can go into LFG
okay thx
Hey, I've been playing here and there with my brother. I kinda suck. I'm lvl 7 and just looking for someone to maybe do a raid with me? I doesn't matter to me the map, just looking for tips and help playing the game
@opal gust they're placeholders, but I think they represent your survival rate on those maps
is regulated materials a required quest for kappa? and does the ash-12 you unlock make the quest worth it?
the 10 OFZ shells quest
No, and no.
thank you!
@bold kernel there's a couple charts on the wiki for what you need for Hideout. Most of them are just barter items.
soo did i spend 200k on a filter for my AFU just for 5m of a boost i didn't get to use?
is kektape useful or rare?
@tiny stag no and most def yes. Ash-12 is one of the hardest to use but also one of the most overpowered weapons in all of eft
@normal fable it takes 5 minutes to install.
@silver hornet it went away after 5 min & it says i don't have any boost
Take a screenshot of your filter
okay after raid
whats the best room to find OFZ rounds in?
Have you checked behind the tanks on reserve?
a few times as scavs with no luck
have you had a lot more luck than me? lol i need if for the quest
@tawny pulsar that quest doesn't lead into anything and it's not required for Kappa
its not required for kappa?
Correct
what a waste of time.. lol
thx
I got my kappa over a month ago and I don't think I've finished it
although that might be a lie, I may have lol
and np β€οΈ
I wish shooter born in heaven wasnt required.
where can the bronze pocket watch spawn?
only in the tanker in customs factory zone
@hot laurel its a quest only item not an everyday item
okay thank you
Any specific spot I can find marked key? Really want it so I have a good reason to go to dorms
@modern hatch not really your best bet is scav pockets and jackets
Alr thanks
soo did i spend 200k on a filter for my AFU just for 5m of a boost i didn't get to use?
@normal fable you need to restart, did that to me too
It's a 5 min activation time, not 5 min use time
wheres the hidden water located?
@hot laurel most of your answers can be answered at escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com
just search the quest name in the top right
ill check it out thank you
itll save you a lot of time asking us
!wiki operation aquarius

thats even faster thanks @silent temple
Nice, my scav spawned with a labs keycard and the small fuel container, I looted someone that was geared and got out
Price online monitoring, charts, price history on Escape From Tarkov flea market items
thank you for the answer and the link !
No problem
Looks like it's better to disassemble to sell it rather than selling the whole weapon as one
if im a scav and i just spawned in and i kill another scav and extract will that be a run through?
Itβs hard/impossible to get a run through as a scav
hand in chemical part 4 to skier prapor or therapist?
skier
you get 2 easy quests to make up for it from the other 2
which reputation wise you dont need anyway
I did therapist because she gave a med case which was like 600k at the time
And I donβt use zsh helmets
I bought a med case as soon as i turned level 10 cause I had 2.5 mil saved up
I bout a med case docs case and scav junk boc
Do you have to buy a labs keycard every time you go to labs?
Yep
what is the best bang for ur buck hightier armor and helmet?
level 5 or 6 armor
trying to get an economy build that I can actually survive a few hits with :D
Some of the lvl 5 armor wasnβt too badly priced. But I think trades for tactec or cpc are best value
im pretty low lvl rn so im looking for stuff i can buy thru flea
Oh, check prices on gen4 hmk or redut, those were cheapest last I checked
tyty
Killa armor might be good value too if you donβt die a lot
How is this gameplay compared to Battlefield and other shooters ??
It's more like a ARMA or DayZ rather than BF or CS.
Morecomplex
And that's only the shooting part of it. Then you have all the inventory aspect of the game, looting and gearing. I like to think about Tarkov as a mix between ARMA and Diablo.
Will it get better, if you play it with others like groups of 2/3 persons. Kind of never got in to DayZ's gameplay π
How do you find players to play with on a regular basis ?
Arma and Diablo.... Sound like many hours gameplay ,, lol
Team play can be a positive and negative, you have to worry about knowing where your team is but you also have support
@quiet wren Did you just bought the game?
No, just looking in to if it will be for me π
Hmm well you could always join the beginners assistance or rooms and ask for them to share their screen and ask questions.
π
thats how i learned the most.
And i love the game.
Thanks for the tip π
Tarkov is a game that will beat you up for a long time before you start winning
what do u mean mako it will still beat u up after u start winning
True
u win once u feel nice u go into another raid "boom" one tapped from 100m away or sth
Have gone through youtube to look in to it also. Just like to here more from you guys... Like how the game is playing it together with others / going solo alone...
You won't get the same experience in any other game though that's for sure
true thats wut make tarkov super fun and addicting
im down to be a cheap knock off sherpa
There's a #pvp-lfg channel here where you can hook up with people. Eventually you find your friends with whom you'll be hanging around on a regular basis. Just keep in mind that the game can be very hard and confusing on it's own, and having to constantly track your teammates may be taxing so I would rather stick with a smaller groups (duos/trios) until everyone knows the map and the callouts.
@quiet wren if u want to know how to play tarkov with others then u must play with others to know actually
chill ppl will usually correct wut u did wrong and just try not to make the same mistakes next time
this is tarkov
