Learn spawns and avoid dorms
Customs is all about the spawns cuz everybody is just cramped when the game starts
If you need to go to dorms for a quest wait till the last 5 minutes and see how it goes
or you could just go guns blazing and try king of the hill

split nymph
hello, i just found my first graphics card for the 3 graphics card quest - if i sell it do i still keep my 1/3 found in raid? or will that go back to 0. i was going to sell it now and then later on if i find another 2 later i can eventually just buy 3 off the flea market since i already would have found 3 in raid just need to hand over 3
languid flare
You need 3 FiR ones.
Period
If you sell yours, you obviously dont have '1' anymore
split nymph
ah okay, i thought i could just collect them for the status and then get rid of them, cheers tho ill just sell it. probably not worth it for me since im not going for kappa or anything
agile relic
you might need stuff from further quests though
split nymph
yeah true, although its my first wipe and its taken me this long to find just 1 graphics card haha

i need some help , im broke and i donnt know how to make money , msg me if u can help im also kinda new , id appreciate it since im so broke i dont really have enough money to buy a ok kit
fiery latch
For the scav case which one is more profitable
analog current
@fiery latch they're all a gamble, most people swear by the 85K scav case, and richer people just keep throwing moonshine at them for quest items ...
the general consensus is the 85K one cause it can actually bring you all the highest tier items like RR, Aesa's, LedX etc, however if you're still looking for the streamer items for kappa quest, then moonshine is the way to go (although in the long run it's not profitable for most unless you're lucky)
analog current
it's possible
fiery latch
Now what are the chances of that
analog current
but don't count on it 🙂
fiery latch
So what? A scav just kills shturman and gives it to me?
I want to kill that fucker myself
Joking, id take a rr for free
analog current
for your own RR, you should just farm shturman or barter it at jaeger lvIII for Fuel Conditioners, Dry Fuel and Propane Tanks, it costs about 1.5M in barter items
fiery latch
Not for free but for 85k
analog current
welp, the one from the scav case would be found in raid so you could sell it for 5-6M

Does anyone know which shotgun has the highest muzzle velocity? I’m trying to do a powerful shotgun maniac build for factory
languid flare
Mostly depends on Ammo
And that you can see when inspecting said ammo usually
I dunno why velocity is important on Factory tho.
bold kernel
focus on damage, magazine size and recoil
languid flare
Mostly pen, if slug, or damage, if buckshot
The rest depends if its supposed to be semi auto or not
analog current
@drowsy sentinel if you wanna go shotgun maniac, make a Saiga with drum mags, wear a M1 rig, a TV110 or any armor with the new LBT vest over it, so you can have a spare drum mag ready + another 4 slot open for reloads, and chuck them full of AP Slugs (or mixed AP / RIP if you wanna meme), add preferred holo sight, foregrip, add compensator for less recoil or add silencer for memes and general awesomeness, done.
languid flare
Or an Alpha rig or similar with the 10 rounders for the saiga

What graphic settings do yall use? My PC is okay, gtx 1070, i7 7700, 16gb of ram and the game runs fuck all on some areas of maps, dropped to 40-50 fps atleast. High w texture streaming is on, v sync off (no point with a 200hz monitor) anisotropic/shadows all off
LOD and visibility I think is halfway up, I just want consistent frames, firefights suck at those low frames. Guess that's what you get running a technically impressive game on Unity

spare isle
guys
i think i got scammed
some dude agreed to meet in factor
i would trade my alpha container
and he would give me 50k roubles
he didnt give me my rubles
languid flare
I... I really dont know why you would ever do this?
spare isle
rubles
languid flare
Well, besides the fact you can buy an Alpha from Peacekeeper lvl 2 for 1 million Roubles, you have NO REASON to 'sell' it. Ever
50k Roubles is nothing
You just lost your only container where items are fully save
burnt harbor
50k is not even a solid armour
Besides as stated above, the alpha container is your safe space. Items that are put in it can't get lost when you die.
So making 50k with the alpha container is the easiest way 😄
languid flare
50k is a quarter of a standard Scav run
shrugs
Well, have fun with the Hardcore Hardcore Challenge now.
burnt harbor
By not dying 😄
dire rock
also correct me if im wrong you cant even drop your container?
languid flare
You cant, prolly told him to delete it xD
burnt harbor
Only discard i think.
spare isle
IS ROLEX
dire rock
i dont think hes ever seen someone elses stash and how much 50k is, i mean its money but nowhere near worth selling your container for
dire rock
yeah
spare isle
yesss
glad valve
glad valve
had all this shit killed 5 ppl
spare isle
how much book sell for
languid flare
38k~
dusty pond
keycard alone is 250k
@dire rock do u know why keycards are so expensive rn?
dire rock
they are used to get into labs
languid flare
They are always expensive
burnt harbor
they were about a 100k less last wipe
dire rock
FIR update changed that
burnt harbor
Oh yeah she sells them
fiery latch
Whats the cheapest thermal scope ?
languid flare
Well, there are literally 2
Flir and ReapIR, just check on flea for them xD
languid flare
Sure, its your money 😛
stray copper
How exactly do you calculate how many players are in a raid? Just count the bodies and shit?
fiery latch
Well
languid flare
@stray copper Only way to know is to find them,
fiery latch
For factory theres a max of 5 during the day and 6 during night
So depending on how many is in your group initially and how many you kill there would be a possibility of keeping track
However for other maps its just simply too big to keep track of who you kill unless you physically kill them all
languid flare
Or find em all 😛
fiery latch
So really theres no calculating how many is left
But I believe there are usually 12-15 players including you?
languid flare
Happend to me a few times where we killed most of the server, either ourselves, or by proxy
fiery latch
I dont remember but I think it was 12 for customs
10 for labs
Or something
Just kill anyone in your way
languid flare
It really differs from map, and stuff.
fiery latch
Yep
stray copper
That's what I'm saying, seeing alot of these tarkov youtubers on labs counting bodies to make an estimate
Too many variables in this game to understand and abuse 💀
fiery latch
Yeah when you kill everyone, depending on the time you pretty much have the whole server to yourself. Its only a matter of how many players scav spawn in
languid flare
Well, yeah. Especially on Labs they want to know if there are players left, since there are no Player Scavs on it, so once all are dead, you are alone.
fiery latch
But at that point if you are killing the whole server player scavs shouldnt be a problem
fathom jasper
What's the best use of the GP coins?
fathom jasper
I mean best barter
fathom jasper
Yeah I know what the trades are, just looking for advice on which is best
languid flare
Really depends on what you wanna use <.<
fiery latch
Looking at the list you're gonna need level 3 traders
So just pick a gun, search up stats, etc and then what ever looks cool or something you would like to run just buy it
Other than that GP coins are useless
stray copper
Gotcha. And finally what would be the fastest way to get XP? Played along time ago and leveling seems so much slower, been stuck at level 4 for ages now w a basically empty inventory and constantly dying. Tried to complete quests but it's hit or miss with the first prapor and therapist quests. Got loads of misc items I wanna sell but wanna wait for level 10 for flea market
languid flare
Quests
fiery latch
Quests
languid flare
Quests are fastest way, period.
burnt harbor
factory pvp also isn't bad
fathom jasper
Quests and Factroy
fiery latch
If you kill an amount of people, your xp multiplier will increase no ?
5 man factory day, farm scavs
stray copper
Figured. Customs probably the best map for the mp133s right?
languid flare
Multiplier is 1.5x if survived
stray copper
That's what my friends have been doing, but we usually get shit on lol
fiery latch
Make sure you're using the right ammo
stray copper
Don't really have access to any worthwhile pvp stuff until flea market
burnt harbor
he cant he isnt lvl 10
stray copper
That's what it's looking like lol
burnt harbor
@stray copper what worked for me pre lvl10 was going reserve, getting raider gear
and using that raider gear to go in to factory
fiery latch
Is the m1a worth running ?
stray copper
Yeah that's what we are gunning for. Think playing passive asf early in reserve is best? Don't know what time is best to kinda venture out more
burnt harbor
m61 isn't that insanely expensive
fiery latch
Its like 1.5k roubles per no ?
burnt harbor
@stray copper wait for the alarm, once the alarm is off raiders will start spawning in groups of 3.
Usually 1-2 of them have a poor / no helmet
fiery latch
Im trying to get my traders up so shit isnt that expensive
burnt harbor
m61 is around 14-1600 a round yeah, but you don't need many to make them work
stray copper
@burnt harbor Right, but lotta pvp going on at that time. Might just set up a tent and wait for 9min till extract and rat loot raider bodies
fiery latch
Anyways gonna try an m1a build
Ive been experimenting with different guns
Watching vids with the m1a and it looks powerful
stray copper
As for armor, cheapest early game would be that ww2 helm and level 4 uley from flea market right?
fiery latch
If you dont have enough money
Theres no point of running armour at this point
People will just run decent ballistic that will rip right through tier 4
But if you have money its always good to protect yourself from people that occasionally run poo poo ammo or scavs but yeah the penis helm is good
Usually just run ulach but thats 70k on flea market
stray copper
I got stuff in inventory that should net me some good money, probably could invest in good armor ig
Ty for help

Which item can I buy after completing shortage?

Does this give me 3 flash drives found in raid?
If I were to craft it ?
Because I just so happened to need 3 fir flash drives for jaeger
cloud rover
Everything you craft in the hideout is FIR
cloud rover
Yed
fiery latch
Roughly 12-15k on flea
fiery latch
If I buy the metal fuel tnak it comes full of fuel for 24hours right ?
fiery latch
Let me check
fiery latch
So you got 4.1k for pain killers, 1.8k for banadage, 2.6k for splint = <10k
cloud rover
Splint 2.9
So yeah, worth it
And I can sell them when I have the flea
Do i unlock anything after completing shortage?
Because I can't barter car meds every time
Reee someone give me an answer

From who /
cloud rover

fiery latch
The salewas dont have to be found in raid
cloud rover
I can only do barters if I need car meds or salewas
fiery latch
I could just drop it to you
fiery latch
Salewas are not hard to find
cloud rover
The thing is, once I finish it, do I unlock it?
cloud rover
I've done 10 raids and I legit haven't seen a single one
fiery latch
I can take you to the area where you will find ltos of meds
In customs
its a high traffic area but
It gives a lot of meds

I'm missing only 1 salewa anyways so no need

anyone have a decent ammo chart or know where to get one>
cloud rover
M855a1, m995 and m61 is good
agile relic
so keep those ?
agile relic
sell nades ?
cloud rover
Yeah just sell them, skier has the best prices I believe
glacial ermine
you should learn to use them they are so good for repositioning, juking, covering noise
and of course smoking enemies out
agile relic
i could just take em all
cloud rover
Up yo you
cloud rover
You can throw them to level up strength
fiery latch
Yeah just sell them, skier has the best prices I believe
@cloud rover As in selling to traders ?
cloud rover
Yes
agile relic
i don't have flea
fiery latch
Oh no

I don't have jager
fiery latch
The order is what ever you can sell
Sell to therapist

Skier has good stuff though
fiery latch
But like you eventually need to sell to them
agile relic
i sell to whoever is highest like i don't think about it much
i've got LL2 spend on therapist
need lvl 15 <_<
cloud rover
I spent 1m on her
fiery latch
You're gonna need to spend a lot to peacekeeper
agile relic
should i just get rid of pistol mags for now ?
and buy more when I actually need em ?
fiery latch
For peacekeepr level 2
You're gonna need to spend at least 1.5mill
Worth of dollars
agile relic
i like pistol runs though 🙂
fiery latch
I also find eod worth it
fiery latch
Because you get .20 extra rep immediately with all traders
On top of the stash space

i might splurge on EoD IF i can get better at this

Is it a good tactic for a beginner to sell basically every weapon you get as scav and every ammo besides lets say one type, which you plan to raid with on your main?
I started like 2 days ago and i struggle with stash space already
wanton grove
Are there any affordable sniper rifles?
wanton grove
okay, then i should focus on close/mid range combat for now?
cloud rover
Yeah basically
wanton grove
What about tact rig/backpacks. Should i get the low capacity bags and tact rigs and sell the high cap ones?
because for now i haven't succesfully extracted even once as PMC
wanton grove
yep
stray copper
If I was to upgrade from standard to prepare to escape, and then to the edge of darkness, would it still be cheaper than what it currently is for me, 95 usd?
Planning to upgrade next week and then upgrade again to edge of darkness the following week
cloud rover
I think the sum is the same
I think with taxes you will pay more going from prepare to escape and eod
stray copper
So if go to prepare to escape I still gotta pay 95?
I mean at that point it's nearly 200 usd for the edge of darkness tf
cloud rover
You will only pay the difference
cloud rover
I don't think so

further follwoing the tracks
does that kill you?
stuck junco
Take note of those traps, more will be added to maps in the future. Consider it as natural selection for maps
stuck junco
Move, only slow down when you plan to go in to combat or are entering a zone where combat is likely. Otherwise get your ass moving and never stop either
serene isle
@wanton grove go in a map in offline with no scavs first. learn where you think good sniping positions would be in the map and always keep tabs on those places when moving. get comfortable with the map and where general places are. after that do a few more offline raids with scavs on. this way you can learn the spawns and patterns. then go live raid
thick harness
I would say the exact opposite

drifting jolt
Upgrade hideout slowly but actively... Dont go broke upgrading it, but getting to mid-tier hideout can have you making some useful things and making some spare cash @sacred crane
use this so you know what you need to keep for hideout upgrades
Mostly sell everything you wont 'need'
cause if you have a fair amount of money you can just buy what you need later
sacred crane
ok thanks how much should i spend on a loadout ?
drifting jolt
Honestly, i rated for many many levels... I rarely would ever take anything in that i hadnt brought out of a raid
I would do pistol runs, take in scav guns

Yep you can do a pistol run for 10k or so

i am getting sniped on customs 24/7, cant compete with the scoped rifles or fucking tank armor guys xD

if you want to avoid players near big red
cloud rover
If I spawn west I loot the storage area
drifting jolt
or camp the bushes on the slope touching the land bridge, and wait for people to cross
cloud rover
I listen for footsteps and rat attack them
cloud rover
Do the bushes disappear the further away you are?
drifting jolt
some do, but the bigger ones do not
cloud rover
Prone or crouched?
drifting jolt
crouched, i dont prone much
unless im on a slope
or hiding from people
going from prone to crouch makes noise and takes time
and uses energy
cloud rover
I'm getting the hang of customs, I'm still pissed by that spawn tho
drifting jolt
yeah but you know where they are every time
that's kind of the good thing about it
thick harness
There are worse spawns in the game, one on woods and reserve that are really scuff
drifting jolt
you can push the other spawns once you get comfortable, and then you can be the chad
the fucking one on woods on the southwest of the map is garbage
you're bloody surrounded
cloud rover
I immediately shot one guy crossing, he had a sniper and i fucked up
Pp19 Vs a sniper doesn't end well
drifting jolt
@cloud rover i didnt start feeling totally comfrtable pushing targets and being aggressive til i got around 500 hours in
but i take thigns slow, generally
cloud rover
I hit him too, wasn't enough tho
drifting jolt
realistically retreating is almost always your best option until you're comfortable engaging
cloud rover
If I pushed him I might have gotten a chance
drifting jolt
I had engaged this chad, and had been fighting him for about 15 saeconds prior to this
cloud rover
I don't remember if I had cover, except an orange dumpster thing
drifting jolt
shit this was supposed to be a vid lol
drifting jolt
here we go, me killing the level 5 armored chad, with an aks74u and bp
drifting jolt
D:
cloud rover
I don't know if I should prioritize customs for prapor or factory for 3m
drifting jolt
wait what? like which map to run for quests?
drifting jolt
oh oh, doesnt really matter too much if youre lower level
just do them form easiest to hardest basically
cloud rover
I want to reach lvl 10 and sort out some shit
drifting jolt
some of the sights blow dick
the pp19 kind of blows dick too, but it's ok for scav killin
cloud rover
Lol that's the only one I can buy regularly
drifting jolt
once you get to level 10 it becomes easier to make money
cloud rover
I have some aks laying around, the ammo ain't the best tho
cloud rover
I got 3 ak74 and a 105
cloud rover
I went in to factory with a 153 and it didn't end well
drifting jolt
where a shemagh to obscure your head's outline
but helmets are almost pointless
wear** a shemagh
wear a headset instead
cloud rover
Penis helmet saved my ass
drifting jolt
if you watch almost any streamer, not a one wears a helmet
cloud rover
So they also blow dick
drifting jolt
lol
cloud rover
I don't want to get rat attacked by pistolings trying to pierce my head
drifting jolt
chad's are going to rip right through your helmet
cloud rover
It's coming back through the insurance
drifting jolt
and if you're not wearing a level 5+ helmet, pistol PMCs will still kill you through it if they're a good shot
cloud rover
Why not?
drifting jolt
sorry? why not? why not what? lol
cloud rover
Wearing a helmet that comes back with the insurance
Either way, I will get one tapped in the thorax
cloud rover
Still good for scavs
drifting jolt
i mean, it's not a terirble thing if you're going to play rat sstyle
but like i just run around without one anymore
cloud rover
What I usually do on customs (if I don't get spawn killed) is sitting in the storage with the weapon crate
For 20 minutes
drifting jolt
nah that's a bad place..
go more toward teh construction area, and near ruaf roadblock
and camp in the bushes over there
in and around where teh dead scav spawn
drifting jolt
dont camp the extract, camp the cut through and the construction yard
cloud rover
I got ambushed by pistolings there
The crackhouse seems to be a high traffic area now
sweet flicker
just bring a paca
drifting jolt
paca is pointless
cloud rover
I have a press armor so why not
sweet flicker
vs pistolings aint that bad
cloud rover
They bonked my head and the helmet saved my ass
Good thing I annielhated them with a fal
sweet flicker
yeah ig you're right. paca is only useful vs scavs
cloud rover
Buckshot scavs
sweet flicker
1 shot in the chest with anything
cloud rover
Yeah basically
Even a .366 can dome a paca in 2 shots
Also the sks
I hate that abomination, I can't take those ironsights
drifting jolt
well once oyou get the flea market you wont have that problem
cloud rover
Indeed
steep rose

2 head shots left, 2-man squad down

Lmao!!
Im in an interchange raid right now
And because of my trash wifi ass
Ive gotten kicked 4 times now
LOL
drifting jolt

unborn geode
10th headshot for Shooter Born in Heaven. That was close shot then, right?
smoky idol
ok i got a question: i was gonna walk into a door, someone was there so i immediately shoot 2-3 shots from my m1a then this guy just blows my head off with a shotgun. what did i do wrong there?
fiery latch
Then I die to a extract camper
opaque cargo
hey, is it better to use equipment you extract as a scav or just sell it?
drifting jolt
depends @opaque cargo if you wanna use it then no
sell what you dont wanna use
if it's worth a bit of money then maybe sell it, but like if it's a gun you havent used or wanna try out then dont sell it
scav guns overall arent worth keeping once you're no longer a noob
opaque cargo
right. and is there any way to try the weapons out before actually taking them in a raid
drifting jolt
yes, do an 'offline raid' as a pmc
when you click PMC, click the box that says offline raid
opaque cargo
cool. thanks a bunch
drifting jolt
you wont lose anything in raid at all, you wont be penalized
it's like practice
eventually you can get the shooting range in your hideout
drifting jolt
that'll allow you a literal shooting range
and you wont have to do an offline raid to test guns
pro tip
test headsets out by 'entering' your hideout
put the headsets on and off while your first person in your hideout, and the sound will change appropriately
drifting jolt
comtacs are my fav though
tiny stag
I want to try play with semi-auto/long range but how do u get many kills doing that? I am coming across no one :(
mellow ingot
Yea that's what I find the jsdue with
fiery latch
Oh I love my life
Well
i ended up throwing away my 20 so bags
That ive collected throughout my tarkov career
drifting jolt
@fiery latch ive done that, dont worry
you'll get em back
🙂
you'll never make that mistake twice i guarnatee you that
mellow ingot
Bag stacking isn't even worth it tbh
Maybe attack 2 and up but I really don't bother
drifting jolt
@tiny stag Know where the high traffic areas are, then find spots that overlook those areas, then camp there and overlook the traffic'd area
places like woods and shoreline have great spots for that
drifting jolt
customs not so much, there is 'some' long range but not much
on shoreline i recommend overlooking power station or gas station, you can also overlook upper cottages
find a nice bush and a good scope
be suppressed
stray copper
Best sniper spots on customs for high traffic? Was thinking somewhere overlooking main highway by gas station
tiny stag
i usually try sit rocks
but I really don't see anyone
especially since they added the new area
rain oasis
Easiest way to get Stirrup done? I get clapped every time, hit them five times in the thorax but 9x19 ammo sucks
languid flare
I waited until late 30s in level for that, lol
So I get good pistols/ammo and armor 😛
rain oasis
This is so sad
I just want the bonus xp because I'm really close to level 25 and then I can just do all of the sew it good stuff
languid flare
With 25 you should be easily able to get good pistols/ammo
rain oasis
I can put ap in there I'm just hesitant because sometimes I'll get fully garbo spawns or run up against 4 mans etc
languid flare
Do it on Factory
rain oasis
that's what I'm doing :)
languid flare
Then 4 man should be rare :P
Get someone else to come with you maybe

I reckon I'll just bash my head into a wall until I get lucky and find a mosling or smth

And I have the exact same stats
drifting jolt
shrugs god hates you
fiery latch
He damn fking does
Literally knew I was gonna screw up but I took a gamble on a 33% chance fail turn in and guess what? I turned in the wrong bag and down goes 20 of my stacked bags with it
About 300k worth of bags
languid flare
@fiery latch You need to loose 0.007kg, take out the bullet 😛

Also got ping kicked twice in a row on factory and came back to the game saying my character died

I know have anxiety

Did my Gunsmith 10 fix work, @fiery latch ?

Yes sir

carmine estuary
im not new but im really bad at pvp
im hoping someone can teach me how to win gunfights?
fleet sedge
Aim thorax or head if you have good pen and they have armor
Bad pen + armor = leg aim
Good pen + armor = chest/head aim
Bad pen good damage + no armor = chest/head aim
drifting jolt
@carmine estuary i can help
plain grove
confusion ~ if only 4 bitcoins can be held in your inventory, how can you barter 13 bitcoins to Mechanic?
also why is a Pack of Sugar the most commonly sought after barter item?
languid flare
@plain grove You dont have to have the bitcoins on your PMC to barter, just in your stash
Stash has no item limit.
And sugar is valuable cause you need 2 to make Moonshine out of, which can be used in the Scav Case
hallow hemlock
what level is considered end game
light coral
My buddy and me are looking for one more to show us where the quick cash is on any map
languid flare
@hallow hemlock End game is when you got Kappa
lapis mauve
eh, i'd consider max traders viable end game. not everyone wants kappa
though after a few wipes its not hard to get
languid flare
I have max traders, but dont really feel like end game, as I still got tasks to do.
In the end it is up to everyone what endgame is.
ember pendant
Max traders was end game for me first wipe coming in late.
This wipe it is kappa / killa quest.
If you do deadlyslobs hardcore challenge its max hideout - BTC farm.
brave wagon
killa quest = 💤
strong barn
Legit I went for kappa and the only diff is an extra line of 3 cells I use for 3 stacks of ammo :/
with no objective but ruin over peoples games by killing them lmfao
stone hazel
If i bring an item FIR into another raid to give to someone will it still keep status?
i need that fuckin pestily mask

no 😦

@stone hazel Any item you bring into a raid will lose FiR
@strong barn And not everyone has EoD xD
fringe dawn
anyone wanna run shoreline with me i have key with blue tape
strong barn
@languid flare I dont have Eod
It was just an example
I have the edition that comes with the Beta Container

Ah, well.
Me it'd give 4 slots, Epsilon.
So a decent amount more (+50%)

True; I still use it for ammo or grenades lmao

Msg me If u can help
mystic berry
in introduction, do you need to be a pmc to loot the encrypted message?
or is there only one per raid?
median zodiac
@pastel folio you playing right now?
dire rock
@mystic berry yes all quest items need to be grabbed as a PMC
and there is one per person so everyone can grab one
@proven pagoda that's just a lot of learning what's valuable and where it spawns, reserve has a lot of loot rooms although they need keys, interchange has some tech stores with valuables as well as OLI which is a hardware store
shoreline's health resort has a lot of rooms with/without keys but theres a bunch of people that go there

And I was just asking if anyone was able to help me out for the mission so I can get level 3
Stop being a smartass
Hahahah
dire rock
@fiery latch for future reference just block people like that not worth the time to argue
main point he was trying to make though is people don't like to go into a raid just to drop and item and leave especially since there's a lot of times people will just kill them and take the item without paying
