anyone want to run a game? Im trash though. First week.

queen pivot
#

What region?

silver sparrow
#

DUDE

#

i cannot get any pmc pistol kills

#

what do

pine sundial
#

@silver sparrow the main way people do it is factory during the day. You can kit out a glock-18c and it's basically a smg

#

alternatively what i did was just take a pistol with me to woods, because most of the time your enemy pmcs should have a mosin or some kind of rangey boi

silver sparrow
#

ah facts

#

idk woods at all though

pine sundial
#

ye there are some popular rocks that kids like to sit on so if u can get close to it with a pistol you'll have a good chance

#

but you dont have to rush that task there is nothing important behind it

royal apex
#

I did 5.7 on factory

queen pivot
#

This man is either God or insane.

foggy stratus
#

Factory 5 7 runs are fun af

royal apex
#

I love p90 factory

#

Except I made a kid rage the other week

queen pivot
#

I'm too pussy to bring my Five-seveN.

foggy stratus
#

Why

queen pivot
#

Any alternatives?

royal apex
#

Lmao i loved it i destroyed a geared man

queen pivot
#

Nice.

#

I bet that would've been satisfying.

foggy stratus
#

No pistol comes close to the five seven in my eyes

#

Too easy to use

queen pivot
#

Not even SMG Glock?

foggy stratus
#

No

#

That’s stupid af

queen pivot
#

Bruh

foggy stratus
#

Smg glock is blind shooting

royal apex
#

But I went in witb my mpx with pst rounds and the dude had airframe helmet and tactec on with a p90 and 190 rounds shot me and then I peaked him and sprayed him to death.

#

I had an ana m2 rig om

queen pivot
#

Ah yes, Sig Sauer.

pine sundial
#

smg glock slaps

royal apex
#

Mpx with ap rounds slap

foggy stratus
#

Till u go up against a guy who actually has a brain

royal apex
#

That gun is a laser

pine sundial
#

u can say that with any kit

foggy stratus
#

Mp7 APSX thank me later

pine sundial
#

he has to get pistol kills

royal apex
#

Oh thats godly too

#

But i won't pay 60k for one mag

foggy stratus
#

Level ur traders 4head

queen pivot
#

TREFFE

royal apex
#

Lmao i am bht im not a high enough level for him

foggy stratus
#

Just gotta grind quests for a week tbh

#

Leveling on this game is prob the easiest I’ve ever experienced

royal apex
#

I want peacekeeper quests but all of his are on shrines

#

Shorelines

foggy stratus
#

So do shoreline

royal apex
#

And I hatw rhat map

foggy stratus
#

Hatchet run shoreline

royal apex
#

Fair I made like 2 mil with just handguning factory

queen pivot
#

Reminds me of that time I 1-tapped some poor dude with a 1911 with my shitty Makarov.

royal apex
#

Lmao

#

Dude ap 1911 rounds are nuts

queen pivot
#

He had 2 full mags.

royal apex
#

I can't wait for the vector

queen pivot
#

This was my first day starting too

foggy stratus
#

U don’t know poor dude till u spawn in a scav raid with a VPO, and head eyes a guy 20 feet away through his Altyn with all rashala loot

royal apex
#

F

queen pivot
#

HAHAHAHA

#

F

foggy stratus
#

I opened his inventory and nearly passed out

royal apex
#

I was one tapped extracting with killa gear and kiba store

foggy stratus
#

Chad preset sa58 slick altyn all of rashala loot

#

Nearly shit myself on the spot

queen pivot
#

I looted a dead reshala that somebody cleaned house with today lol

foggy stratus
#

Lol I used to take him back to back and now I haven’t even seen him once since the expansion

queen pivot
#

'bout shit myself when i realized all of that stuff was ripe for the taking.

#

Haha

#

I got my ass kicked by him with a long barrel SA-58

foggy stratus
#

Lightly modded 74u is all u need really

royal apex
#

I ome tapped killa once by mistake

#

I thought he was a normal scav

foggy stratus
#

Hell I’ve taken him on a scav run with a default Akmn

royal apex
#

leg him lol

foggy stratus
#

Only boss I haven’t killed yet is sanitar. Who for some reason is literally aimbotting people

queen pivot
#

I had killa dome me when I was fucking around lol

#

Wait, Assnitar's doming people?

foggy stratus
#

He squad wiped 5 people

queen pivot
#

Bruh

#

Now I'm scared to go on shoreline.

royal apex
#

I went to loot kiba and seen a scav and thought oh sbit so I popped a shot at the head and he died so I'm like cool looted the store and was like lets see what this guy has then shut when I seen it was him

foggy stratus
#

Nah shorelines fine

#

Just don’t fuck around with him

#

I’m convinced he needs to be naded

royal apex
#

I heard he runs like a bitch but his goons are nuts

queen pivot
#

So the legend would say.

#

How about Shitmann?

#

Sorry, Shturman?

foggy stratus
#

Easy

#

Easy as fuck idk why people say he’s hard

queen pivot
#

Oh yeah, just 1-tap him from 2 miles away?

foggy stratus
#

As long as u know he’s there it’s not a problem

queen pivot
#

I see.

cunning cloud
#

what's a cheap armor for beginners that don't wanna spend a lot

queen pivot
#

PACA?

red anvil
#

6b3tm is best, 50k

queen pivot
#

Or Armored Rigs from fence?

#

Ah, yeah.

cunning cloud
#

oof 50k

red anvil
#

50k aint much

cunning cloud
#

i'm not even making any monies

#

i been hoarding rifles

young grotto
#

ok so i just got this game and im loving it but its hard

cunning cloud
#

yeah it's pretty hard

#

i'm not terrible at being sneaky

#

but it'

#

when i get into PvP firefights

foggy stratus
#

The more u hoard the more gear fear u will have

queen pivot
#

I'm not good at firefights, especially this late into wipe, where i basically have to run good ammo.

foggy stratus
#

Learn the good ammo and use the good gear u get, you will find yourself dying less and growing confidence. The more confidence you have the less gear fear u will have

young grotto
#

yeah same

#

yeah i play rust so i know a bit about when to use better guns

foggy stratus
#

Rust is nothing like this

young grotto
#

oh welp

#

guess im back to the drawing bored

#

english*

foggy stratus
#

U can’t just run back to ur stash to swap ur ak for a sar

queen pivot
#

Very true.

young grotto
#

ahahah true i need to extract first

subtle tundra
#

Safest map to avoid pvp when just looting?

queen pivot
#

Interchange Night?

#

Tried it before?

red anvil
#

young grotto
#

deep web person

subtle tundra
#

Nah, but scavs have built in night vision in their eyeballs it seems

queen pivot
#

foggy stratus
#

#

Mans losing his mind over a bitcoin

queen pivot
#

red anvil
#

queen pivot
#

red anvil

queen pivot

foggy stratus
#

How would We even do it

red anvil
#

europe

queen pivot
#

Jesus, never met someone who can play on OCE servers.

#

Ah.

#

Yeah, I don't think that's gonna work out.

foggy stratus
#

Chances of getting in same raid are slim

red anvil
#

lets see how much ping do i have

queen pivot
#

<200, you're fucked.

cunning cloud
#

ah you're on europe servers

queen pivot
#

I'm on OCE, he's on EU.

foggy stratus
#

U guys do realize u can’t party up queue to do the kills right

red anvil
#

yes

#

we go on low pop server and start at the same time

queen pivot
#

Bruh

foggy stratus
#

Not a bad idea tbh

queen pivot
#

Kinda want to go get some LEDXs.

bold kernel
#

Ok, it's official. I hate this game. Took me 60 hours to grind to level 10 and unlock flea market. Bought level 5 armor, helmet, and face shield, got an SKS with PS ammo. Went to factory and killed one dude, only to get insta killed to the back of the head.....when i was against a wall

#

and there's no way someone could be behind that wall because i was at gate 3 exit in factory

#

wtf

#

someone was hacking

#

i hate this game so much

#

all my efforts are wasted

#

i'm sick of dealing with players in max level gear and doing no damage

#

i'm sick of forking over money for max level gear only to get one shot by hackers through walls

#

this game is just straight up not fun

cyan walrus
#

Why are you buying high level geat at lvl 10

bold kernel
#

because how else am i supposed to survive?

cyan walrus
#

And going factory with it

bold kernel
#

everyone knows that body armor can tank most bullets

#

i've experienced that for 60 hours

#

sick of getting gunned down by PMC players who are immune to all my bullets

#

i was hoping to get revenge by doing what those PMC players do in factory

#

then a freaking hacker shot me

cyan walrus
#

I’m level 9 and am able to kill pretty geared guys with a shit AK and a few head taps

#

I’m playing customs only tho it’s good for new players

cunning cloud
#

yeah i play mostly customs

#

reserve is cool but confusing

cyan walrus
#

Ya I need to learn reserve

#

Is there lots of geared players ?

pine sundial
#

it's a mixed bag

#

sometimes you run into the juicy bois sometimes you run into very lightly geared bois

#

my advice is if you want some money on reserve dont rush the popular loot spawns and try to stay away from any gunfire, you'll mostly likely survive with 200-400k worth of loot

#

and d2 is pretty safe, just got to check it for rats

#

the map also isnt super big, it's not too bad to learn

solemn pike
#

In Reserve there is a power station and if you flip the switch it spawns Raiders. Where is that power station ? I thought it was at Dome but it wasnt.

pine sundial
#

it's by dome

#

but not at dome i'll circle it on a mpa for u

solemn pike
#

I just saw a video that says its really close to manhole.

pine sundial
#

the only problem is if you push the button anyone at the apartment buildings will look your way

cunning cloud
#

is it really loud

#

my advice is if you want some money on reserve dont rush the popular loot spawns and try to stay away from any gunfire, you'll mostly likely survive with 200-400k worth of loot
@pine sundial what kinda stuff should i be looking at

pine sundial
#

the alarm can be heard everywhere on the map basically

#

depends on spawns tbh, there is loot in almost every location of this map

#

one of my fav spots is the bunker under the apartment buildings, there are 3 reserve crates down there and back by the d2 switch there are servers with tech spawns on them. After you turned the d2 switch on you can run to d2 extract and there is loot along

cunning cloud
#

i still don't know what kinda loot i should be focusing on in general

#

there's so many items

solemn pike
#

Yeah as to the other people hearing you, after I flip switch I wanna book it to train and kill Raiders @pine sundial

pine sundial
#

ye i mean the main loot would be tech items and good ammo, 5.45 BT + BS

#

it only has a chance to spawn raiders, if you want raider loot there is a good chance for 2 of them to spawn at the cages @solemn pike or you can just hunt the glueman if you want some fat loot

solemn pike
#

What cages?

pine sundial
#

you know bunker hermitic door exit? If you go down that ramp there is a large area that has 4 locked cages(this is also great loot. you can also enter the cage area in a few other spots. I'll mark a map real quick

cunning cloud
#

does it require keys?

pine sundial
#

ye they all have a different key. Each cage has 3-4 reserve crates in them 1 tech, 1 ration, 1 med. I think 2 of them have an extra crate in them but dont quote me on that

#

i think 2 of the keys are more expensive than the other 2

#

there are 4 cages under there

cunning cloud
#

is selling keys a bad move

pine sundial
#

depends on the key and what u wanna run tbh

#

i would say 80% of the keys are at dealer price and you can sell them to therapist for the same price you can buy them from the flee

bold kernel
#

Are scav runs broken for reserves?

pine sundial
#

But there are some keys that are worth a lot more because of their fat loot or chacne to spawn a ledx, normally

cunning cloud
#

ah okay

#

i haven't used a single key yet, hah

pine sundial
#

some are garbage some a really great

#

@bold kernel depends on which servers you have enabled, if you enable more servers you'll get in faster but you'll have more lag issues

cunning cloud
#

you can change which servers to have enabled?

pine sundial
#

ye from the launcher you can pick which region you wanna play on @cunning cloud

void lark
#

im trying to use my hunter, but i cant find and 7.62x51 ammo, i have a ton of x54 for my svd but none of my vendors sell the x51 caliber, im level 5 so i dont have flea market yet

pine sundial
#

@cunning cloud i'll take you on a reserves run tomorrow if you want, i'm just a little too tired right now

high meteor
#

Wtf is a ledx

void lark
#

expensive

high meteor
#

Why

void lark
#

its rare, and its needed for tasks i think

pine sundial
#

you need 2 for a task, you need 1 for med station level 3, you need it for some really expensive barter trades

#

and they are rare

cunning cloud
#

no worries

#

when you guys play as scav, do you shoot at other scavs?

void lark
#

if they have something i want, yea

#

otherwise its not worth them being hostile

#

less fuss

cunning cloud
#

once you're hostile with scavs

#

all the scavs on the map will shoot at you?

#

i've had issues with player scavs shooting me dead as a scav

#

heh

void lark
#

hey guys

#

so im getting ready to go into factory, gonna use my mp153

#

how do i load the 8 shells before match?

#

itll let me put one in chamber, but no reload or unload on the context menu

hallow pawn
#

take the barrel off first

#

and load it while its in inventory

#

you want to join up?

pine sundial
#

@void lark there is part of the shotgun that you have to remove while in the stash and put the shells into that. the name of the part should have magazine in it (also is should look like a long tube if you are using the 8 maggers). This is similar to like an internal mag of a mosin or sks. You have to remove the part while in the stash and put the ammo into and put it back into your gun

sour halo
#

Shotguns don't usually have a magazine you load bullet in one by one. Unless it's a full auto shotgun with a clip

pine sundial
#

the mp-153 has a magazine

#

not all of them do i agree, but for his mp-153 he is trying to figure out how to put ammo in his mag

lament portal
#

yep

#

found my first FiveseveN in raid with a 15/20 SS190

#

woot

lapis mauve
#

sell the ammo and mags on flea

lament portal
#

Why not sell the gun if i'm doing that or are you just trying to slurp up my ammo and mags :p

lapis mauve
#

the gun sells for nothing

#

the ammo and mags are worth a ton

#

the mags used to sell for more than the gun and sometimes the ammo is 2k each

#

when you can buy them from trader or get them off players use them

lament portal
#

bottom price on flea 22 for gun 30 for mag

#

about 2k per round

#

i would assume it's mostly used as a fatty sidearm

lapis mauve
#

when you get it from traders its cheap

bold kernel
#

where you can get t-plugs? I heard they were worth a decent amount but I can't find any

lapis mauve
#

toolboxes and file cabinets a lot

lament portal
#

t plugs are running like 4k they are trash loot

#

duct tape 8k, blue tape 9k, broken hard drive 11k

pine sundial
#

@lament portal you should try your best to aim for 10k a slot. I’ll link a reddit post that puts a large amount of the barter items into a tier list

lament portal
#

that's pretty helpful for a bush rat like me 🙂 thanks

pine sundial
#

no problem c:

lament portal
#

i wonder if there's a newer version of that or if it really matters.

pine sundial
#

I’ts pretty accurate tbh, the only thing that i can see that i would change are the clothes, some of them are a bit more expensive atm. As well as dry fuel and fuel condition are worse now but still worth taking

#

by clothes i mean fleece armida ect.

lament portal
#

also you're not going to find a physical bitcoin on anyone anymore right?

pine sundial
#

you can find them still, just super rare.

#

i find Tetris more often than a bit coin, you can barter a tetris for a bitcoin through mechanic

lament portal
#

chart also needs an outline on hideout upgrade items and crafting items, maybe. I've never even seen a tetriz or a bitcoin

pine sundial
waxen apex
#

its updated with actual market prices I believe

#

after I found that site, I always use it

pine sundial
#

those images are from the wiki just in case you need to find them in the future

lament portal
#

thanks

#

I think i have all the woods stashes but one memorized now. just got a nice vector on one by the checkpoint on the east

grizzled forge
#

Guys is there like a whipe coming ? When the update 12.8 is been released ?

worn silo
#

theres no date on 12.8 but they said "not long to wait" also wipe will probably be in afew months from now 3-4ish months probably @grizzled forge

grizzled forge
#

@worn silo thank you ^^

#

Then i need to hurry up with my quests xd

languid flare
#

You got some months.
We arent even 50% into the wipe.
You got time

lapis mauve
#

Best guess for wipe is 12.9 or .13 estimated to be by the end of the year

languid flare
#

Well, thats known, but we have no idea when they will be happening 😛

fringe skiff
#

who is best to insure your stuf to that will give them back to you the quickes most say therapisth but it takes a while for me. Is it true ?

lapis mauve
#

Prapor returns your stuff in about 24 hours and holds is for about 2-3 days. Therapist returns it in about 12 hours and holds it for about 6 days

languid flare
#

Prapor is, without intelligence Upgrade 24-36h
Therapist 12-24h

Prapor is cheaper, Therapist is about 150% or so of what Prapor costs

Prapor holds the return for 3 days, Therapist for a week

Generally, Prapor is all you need, expect when you know you wont play the next 3 days

@fringe skiff

smoky drift
#

Hey everyone! anyone can help with a weird issue I have with the game.. I have started seeing white spots in the game (like artifacts, but not really) while playing. and almost every time when they happen.. the game freezes and crashes, but sometimes the game freezes my PC completely so I have to physically reset it. I am playing for 4-5days and everything was fine until yesterday. I have tried reinstalling the nVidia drivers (latest 3 releases with clean install). and tried playing with the game settings (All defaults, Clean RAM, Physical cores, PostFX [on/off], Vsync, visibility, LOD, Shadow quality) but still getting the same issues. I have recorded the issue with nVidia Shadow Play and took a screenshot of it. I can post it if it will help to understand whats happening. its important to mention that it happens only in Tarkov.

EDIT: I have also reinstalled the game twice on different SSD drives

languid flare
#

While I have no idea what that is, the Screenshot and your specs would help

smoky drift
languid flare
#

Oh wow. Thats uhh.... worse than I expected.
I just remembered, we got a channel specifically for this
#community-support
Try there instead of beginners, I guess

smoky drift
#

Ok, Thanks for the try anyway)

worn silo
#

Ok, Thanks for the try anyway)
@smoky drift does it freeze in match? someguy said removing the ram cleaner worked for him yesterday

smoky drift
#

yes, but i have already tried playing with and without it

worn silo
#

have u tried reducing your graphic settings?

#

also verifying game files

smoky drift
#

yes, and i have reinstalled the game twice on 2 different ssd drives

worn silo
#

idk it looks like missing assets that are fucking with the game

smoky drift
#

the pc is not overloaded at all.. even when playing on max settings its about 50-70% loaded

worn silo
#

overall dont play on max settings

smoky drift
#

yea i know.. its not competetive at all to play on max

worn silo
#

no just shit performance

smoky drift
#

that too

languid flare
#

@worn silo Thats not missing textures
If it were it would be the whole door, not just a part of it that always looks the same

worn silo
smoky drift
#

its just weird that it suddenly started happening. everything was fine. I have posted on #community-support hopefully someone will be able to help

worn silo
#

try opening a support ticket on the site aswell

#

there was an update a few days back aswell

#

when u reinstalled did u redownload or moved the directory?

smoky drift
#

redownload

worn silo
#

have u tried reducing each setting one by one?

smoky drift
#

yes that what i did.. but didnt try going all down.. will try now. and then if its ok i will pull them 1-by-1 up until it happens again

queen pivot
#

Bruh

worn silo
#

going all the way down will put more strain on your cpu

#

for somereason my game works better on High-medium

#

then all low

interesting.. but i will try anyway.. ofc i will not play like that but want to check it that way too

check in offline raids obv

offlines should be more stable

yea ofc.. i have already lost too much loot to the crashes

Holy shit I am not looking forward to completing the Guide quest

smoky drift

going all the way down will put more strain on your cpu
@worn silo ok, just played a whole offline raid on all low settings without any problems. both the cpu and gpu seen loads of about 15-35%

worn silo

try and bump it up a lil

#

pop each setting up by one and find the problem

Hi Everyone. What would be the best experience increase option as solo player? Or should I try to do 5 men factories? I need around 17k exp to lvl 20.

As a usual solo player, just play. Work on the quests.

Though my fall back map is Reserve, as it gives me reserves of cash

Any lists of quests not needed for kappa?

ıf I CHANGE MY RAM TO 16 GB can şt handdle

Well, depends on your CPU, but I am no expert in that department.
But you will have less with 16 for sure, its basically the 'recommended' amount.

#

But I got 16 and still got some issues

bold kernel

when I play factory there is no problem put ıf I want to play reserve or custom my fps is fucked

Well, duh.
Factory is the smallest map, Reserve the newest, a big one, and badly optimized in comparison
I get somewhat bad performance on Reserve too xD

If you dont upgrade your PC, a bit, I guess.

If you try your weapon out in the range does it use your bullets or will it refund it like offline

Hey I’m not really a beginner but I’ve been wondering what do people usually sell when they kill a pmc and get out with there kits, like do you keep the guns and armor or sell it on. I’m talking from a under 1 mil perspective because I have been grinding quest recently

raven gazelle
#

depends on what that gear is

#

and it also depends on what u run

#

so i sell anything that isnt class 5+ because im very far on but if u run class 4 then u should keep it and use it

#

same with the gun

#

if i like the gun then ill use it if not then ill sell it

silver sparrow
#

can i run interchange with someone who knows it a couple times? i have a lot of questing to do there

pine sundial
#

@fiery latch no it doesnt use the ammo

#

it refunds it

fiery latch

Ok kool

rough escarp

yo to get jager lvl 2

should i resell mp-133 shotguns

and buy them from them

#

and resell

raven gazelle
#

@bold kernel no i dont think so

languid flare
#

@bold kernel Thermometer is used in Hideout, Military Cable has a neat barter (prapor, gssh backpack) and MGT I think has a barter, but should rather be sold

pine sundial
#

@rough escarp if you want it fast and have money to spare. If you buy and sell 1 shotgun you can figure out how much it’ll cost you

thick harness
#

Thats what I did its like a 30-40% loss

raven gazelle
#

if u buy antique axes from the flea its cheap

thick harness
#

Yea there are things you can do from flea market too for not too bad of a loss

#

Ragman you can buy mustaches and stuff

#

buy for 15k sell to him for 14k

Hey guys i just started up tarkov after a whole 3 months break and a lot has changed. I feel like the scavs are way harder to kill and they are insane. I was blown up by a scav using a grenade launcher which was super demoralizing. I just reset my game profile, any tips for me? Im struggling with a 0% survival rate but I feel like the game has changed so much and has outgrown me.

thick harness
#

I dont think scavs have GLs

#

they can have normal grenades

#

I might be wrong on that but ive never seen or heard of that

raven gazelle
#

they can pick someones up tho

coarse kayak
#

^

thick harness
#

True that would be rare for sure

raven gazelle
#

and yes scavs get better

cosmic turret
#

that weird I was blown up and got pretty tilted so i took a break for 10 mins

thick harness
#

Yea they have normal grenades

#

Sometimes

cosmic turret
#

when I read my death summary it said a type of GL

thick harness
#

Ouch thats unlucky

cosmic turret
#

so im guessing it picked one up i guess, this was on customs

thick harness
#

Tarkov is a lot of death tho

raven gazelle
#

ye the scav probs just picked someones up

cosmic turret
#

yeah im struggling with the earlier phases which i had no trouble in the past

thick harness
#

I still havent ran into anybody running one yet this wipe up to lvl 17

cosmic turret
#

pretty tilting

thick harness
#

Just keep pistol running customs kill a scav or two and extract 3k xp

cosmic turret
#

do scavs auto lock on you on pistol runs?

#

I heard a rumor that they did

raven gazelle
#

depends what u bring

thick harness
#

If you bring a pistol + spare mag you wont be tagged and cursed

raven gazelle
#

if u just bring a pistol they will

cosmic turret
#

ty for the info

raven gazelle
#

if u bring a pistol bag and rig u wont

cosmic turret
#

will do

raven gazelle
#

pistol and spare mag wont be enough

thick harness
#

It was for me

cosmic turret
#

yeah im thinking just pistol and rig with an extra mag

raven gazelle
#

that should be fine

thick harness
#

I just started last weekend, ran pistol with extra mag at least 10 raids and wasnt cursed

cosmic turret
#

nice, thanks

raven gazelle
#

well a pistol and mag wont be enough

cosmic turret
#

im really struggling this patch

#

feelsbadman

#

i had a 70% surv rate last wipe

#

this wipe seems really tough

thick harness
#

Uh... press X to doubt

#

70% would be much much higher than the average

cosmic turret
#

6 raids in with 0% surv rate so far

#

yeah i was pretty proud of myself but now its getting bretty hard to keep up

raven gazelle
#

6 raids bro ur gonna need to play a lot more than that to be better

#

6 raids is nothing

cosmic turret
#

yeha but i would at least expect to survive 1 LUL

thick harness
#

With a fresh start 1/10 would be a good success rate

#

you just wont have the gear

cosmic turret
#

sounds good, ill keep grindin

thick harness
#

Some people go 20-30 raids before they survive one tho

cosmic turret
#

yeah idk just needed some reassurance i guess

shadow zephyr
#

does anyone else crash in interchange

#

like I don't know if it's just a me problem or like a know thing

thick harness
#

IC and Reserve are most resource intensive

#

try turning down some settings if its crashign

cosmic turret
#

is binural sound better or the OG sound?

glacial sorrel
#

it depends if youre used to the old sound tbh

topaz mango
#

@cosmic turret binural is better

#

and it will be even better in the future

#

What’s the best thing to do with dog tags?

languid flare

You need SOME for Quests, they can be used for barters.... or just sold to Therapist.
Really up to you on the last two

#

2 dogtags for a mbss @fathom jasper

languid flare
#

There is way more and way better trades than that 😛

fathom jasper
#

Right, I have so many scav backpacks

cloud rover

I dont

#

I only have Duffles and mbss

languid flare

Sounds like not enough scav runs

cloud rover
#

I do a lot of scav runs

#

I got a scavb only twice or something lol

languid flare
#

shrugs
Need to loot more Berkut/Daypack/ScavBP then 😛

#

MBSS trade rarely is worth it

cloud rover
#

Better than running slings😂

languid flare
#

Could run nothing and just loot one off a scav

cloud rover
#

I either spawn with Duffles or army bags

languid flare
#

loot off one off a Scav when playing PMC

#

<.<

cloud rover
#

Oh well

#

I haven't done my daily raid yet

neon cloud
#

so i was playing on a customs map

#

a scav ai randomly just walked up to where i was and killed me

#

i was sitting in a dark corner of a building for like 10 mins making no sound

#

how does that even work

languid flare
#

Literally randomly walked around and saw you somehow

neon cloud
#

dang

fiery latch
#

Lol

#

I just ran to woods for the therapist quest at sawmill

#

Killed like 5 guys

#

Was so happy, went back in

And died

And forgot that I finished the quest and now I have to redo

#

LOL

#

Im idiot

Just buying it 🙂

How much damage it gets and how well it repairs

fiery latch
#

For the tasks that have penalties

#

Do I lose rep everytime I die

#

Or everytime I get the quest then die

languid flare
#

@fiery latch Only when completing it

fiery latch
#

Wait

#

Lol?

#

Therapist gives you loyalty upon completion

#

Then removes it>

languid flare
#

@fiery latch Thats probably the choice Quest where Skier has the other one, right?

fiery latch
#

For therapist

languid flare
#

If yes, then its the penalty when giving it to Skier

fiery latch
#

I need to go to sawmill

#

But like an idiot

#

I forgot to turn it in

#

And died

#

So

#

I haev to do it again lol

languid flare
#

Yes. You gotta go to Sawmill and then give it either to Therapist or Skier

The penalty comes in when you give it to the other one

cloud rover
#

@harsh jolt I got 3 kills with a pp19, penis and 6b15 chest rig without problems lol

fiery latch
#

So say maybe a VSS with a TV-110 rig / ULACH / Sordins? shouldn't be too expensive but should also get the job done right?
@harsh jolt Depends really, vss will, only depends what ammo you are running. The tv rig is tier 4 so most people will just rip right through it

cloud rover
#

Sp5 still shreds tho

raven gazelle
#

depends what u trynna shred

languid flare
#

Anything, really

#

Sp5 can even go through class 6, just by how fast it shoots

#

Then dont go Reserve? <.<

thick harness
#

Gotta be your pc or settings

cloud rover
#

Are you playing on borderless?

#

I turn off the ram cleaner and fullscreen

thick harness
#

Turn settings down

cloud rover
#

And use only physical cores

thick harness
#

I've played on i5 with 16gb ram on reserve no problem

cloud rover
#

If I can get kills with my kit you will definitely do better than me

#

Considering I'm level 5 and I only have 30 hours in-game lol

languid flare
#

5% of my time @cloud rover 😄

cloud rover
#

I should do more raids on a daily basis

Doing 2 raids a day won't improve my skills

Oh well

#

This is confusing

languid flare

Its not, really.
If the Quest text doesnt say 'in raid' anywhere' then it doesnt have to be 'in raid' and can be just bought

I think ONE Quest somewhere might be buggy in that way, but Iam not sure

For the dehydrate yourself task from jaeger

#

Can I drink water after 5 minutes

languid flare

Yes

fiery latch

When It says I completed it

thick harness

Most people just bring a condensed milk and when they get to extract pop it and chill for 5 min then extract

#

but you could do it at the start too

#

and rehydrate after

languid flare
#

I do it at the start, easier, saver

#

This wipe I actually did it while running towards Resort.
Ate a Mayo, popped a Propital to counterheal, done

thick harness
#

Dont you have to survive the raid

languid flare
#

Yes. But any raids afterwards counts, you dont have to redo

thick harness
#

Yea guess you could do it that way

woeful solstice
#

Can anyone add me to show me some tips?

languid flare
#

The 'survive' status is funny anyway.
In theory you can, for the Quest, Delivery from the Past:
Get the docs, put it into 'out of raid menu'

#

Then go Factory, survive

#

Then put the docs back in and drop them off

thick harness
#

You still have to place it tho

#

So whether you place it die then extract after or do it the other way

languid flare
#

Well, it could counter Gate 3 campers :P
Its just an example. Not a 'better' tactic

thick harness
#

yea thats one of the first "tough" quests for new players

#

but not even close to some of the real tough quests lol

languid flare
#

I think its the only real tough one

thick harness
#

Really? let me talk to you about the guide

languid flare
#

Because of how you gotta survive 2 raids, very early in your progress, with bad gear

#

Well, yes. But when you get the Guide, you usually can afford armor, guns and got ammo unlocked 😛

Nope, that count down is final. Once it's 0 you are over

The count down sometimes gives you 30 seconds to over 5 minutes of extratime sometimes

When it works properly it will go to mia instantly though

I have those days aswell, it's the servers

I had the same problem yesterday

In the next raid it seemed to be okay

Server lost connection?

If so check your router

Because when your ping gets really high for a long period of time

It will ping kick you

I got it often during the evenings

#

Make sure you connection is stable

Sometimes it will just ping kick you and it could be your wifi spiking

Do you have ethernet?

Are you using ethernet?

If so then I dont know, I dont use ethernet so I get ping kicked a lot. Im really far from my router

#

You may as well build a 7.62 ak with more power and little extra recoil

5.45 is not bad

#

BS rounds wreck ppl, even BT can kill geared players

It's just not as good as last wipe

@spice pecan where did you find that map? Best map I've seen for tarkov

zealous tendon
#

These are best maps

#

IMO

#

That was you can zoom in, select and unselect what your looking for

eating/drinking when your food/water is down. doesn't work if they are full

instead of eating in your stash bring stuff into raid and eat at the start and eat stuff you find

Anyone else do bad against other players at some point? Have you gotten better at PvP or stayed the same? If you got better what did you find helped you the most?

#

@opaque garnet had game for 2 weeks, the first week I killed just about NOBODY, the 2nd week I'm starting to get more and more kills

opaque garnet
#

I've been playing for weeks, kdr is above 1 but my survival rate is an abysmal 27%. It's getting to the point where I don't even want to play my pmc as it just loses whatever gear/worth my scav gets.

cunning cloud
#

yeah the gear fear for me as PMC is real

zealous tendon
#

Slow your gameplay down a little

#

Dont sprint all the time

robust light
#

@opaque garnet theres alot of things to know in the game that you will learn overtime that will help you get better

#

your first few weeks might be rough because the game is really hard and unfortunately coming into it later in the wipe doesn't do any favors

zealous tendon
#

Yeah late wipe is brutal for new players

cunning cloud
#

what is the ETA of the next wipe?

robust light
#

but you'll get better because theres a ton of things to get better at even if its not clicking on heads

#

probally not for a long while yet

zealous tendon
#

couple months I reckon

#

No one really knows yet

robust light
#

i believe it wont happen until streets of tarkov is out which is going to be the biggest map yet soooo probally a long bit

zealous tendon
#

I have heard speculation of Feb next year

#

but I highly doubt it

robust light
#

haha yeah that would be crazy

#

haha

zealous tendon
#

Thats way to far away

robust light
#

but no it probally will lol

zealous tendon
#

They will hopefully do a 12.8 wipe

#

then a 13.0 wipe

robust light
#

judging by what he said in a reddit post today i kinda doubt it, 12.8 sounds like its going to be relatively minor

lapis mauve
#

i was hearing either 12.9 or .13 as the next wipe. and .13 by the end of the year if nothing goes wrong

robust light
#

"Currently actively working on 12.8 (it will contain a big bunch of content and several features - one of them is a hand-held compass (cause wrist-based compass is also planned for later), also a lot of really good QoL improvements (some of them proposed here on Reddit!), bug fixes etc.) Not long to wait!"

opaque garnet
#

I go slow alllllll the time, try and hide or slow crouch walk to make as little noise as possible.

lapis mauve
#

12.8 should be in a few weeks or so

zealous tendon
#

Yeah streets will 100% be a wipe

robust light
#

my mindset is that 12.8 is both too soon and too little for a wipe

zealous tendon
#

Fucking stoaked for streets

#

I also think end of year is too far for a wipe

robust light
#

and regardless of what 12.9 is i doubt it will warrent a wipe when 13.0 will be streets

zealous tendon
#

will be the longest one yet

#

Yeah they likely dont want wipes to close together

robust light
#

iiirc the last one was almost 8 months?

#

when you play as a scav and kill one AI scav, will all of the other scavs on the map become hostile, no matter what?

zealous tendon
#

no

robust light
#

also @opaque garnet sometimes going slow isnt the best depending on the spot

zealous tendon
#

some that are far away may not agro

robust light
#

going slow in the open can be bad

opaque garnet
#

I don't do it through open fields or anything

robust light
#

and high traffic areas is a toss up of 1. go fast to get out of there ASAP or 2. go slow and hope to jump someone you hear first

opaque garnet
#

or 3 sit and listen to the footsteps, be unsure of exactly where they are and have someone walk up on you and get blasted lol

robust light
#

yeah... the audio can be wack sometimes lol

cunning cloud
#

too many times i've been surprised by a AI scav and choot em in the face

opaque garnet
#

And apparently its better now? With the steam audio or whatever

robust light
#

its weird but try to freelook around when you hear something and you can use it to kinda pinpoint where iuts from

#

like say you cant tell if someone is in front or back of you, tild your pmc's head to the left and you can hear it better or worse in one ear to more accurately gauge the source

#

also, id personally say that i think the most important thing of tarkov is learning the maps

#

and not in the "oh i know the marked room is here" and "ledx spawns here"

#

but the flow in where and when other players will be, when player scavs will spawn in, do people come here, ect

opaque garnet
#

See I get that, and also don't. I know where spawns are on customs but after that they could do a million things. Go to dorms, go to new gas, go to old gas, go to the library, camp the river/bridges. I'll expect them to go one way and they'll go the completely opposite way. Or they will but someone else won't. It's maddenning

robust light
#

it is maddening , again id argue tarkov is one of the hardest games to get to "click" because theres so many things to know even the mechanically its not that hard.

#

i guess for example, say you spawn at the river on big red warhouse side of customs. usually im thinking that i need to worry about people potentially spawning at the trailer park and someone potentially beating me to the trash bridge

#

if i make it across the trash bridge i realise im safe for a bit because i would of either 1. been shot already crossing the bridge, or 2. seen the other people crossing the bridge. from here i can rush dorms and know that only one person can beat me there, which is the hillside spawn by the train tracks under the radio tower. if i make it to dorms and nobody is there i can either wait and ambush someone else or try to ambush someone with a further spawn coming from the forest behind two story

#

to make a long story short theres alot to think about just from spawning and where people can be

yeah i know but i was hoping someone who had the key would be able to open it for me and we could go loot some other stuff too because i'd rather not spend 80k on a one time need key. Isn't the customs spawn not guaranteed?

@bold kernel
Would make more sense if streets would make the 13.0, just for a nice number.
But yes, wipe comes with street release 99%

#

all i remember hearing is that they r going to wipe first them drop it i believe on a live stream

idk tho

#

im pretty sure .19 is going to have the new armored plates in the rig switchy things so id imagine it would come after that .13
