When I am in combat how should I be shooting. Let's say I have a pistol, should I stand still to breath and take a shot or just shoot where I think it should hit and hope my sway is lucky?
mellow ingot
Pistols there's not much hope unless your using a shrimp or five seven but really what I'd say is just stop pop. A shot and keep doing that you don't want to really stand still
mellow ingot
Gas station dorms factory area sniper scavs
Red warehouse
They are every where just not at the start of a raid so much

Hi, dumb question but what do the question marks next to the extraction points mean? Some extraction points seem to have them while others don't
winged obsidian
this is technically my 3rd wipe as i ended upgrading my account from standard half way through this 1 highest level ive been is 28 after around 5 weeks
it means theyre active at random times usually open extracts will have green smoke or a light on if its open and ready to use unless its 1 of the main 3/4 on the map
sudden panther
okay thanks. Would anyone be willing to play a couple of matches with me? I've had the game for 3 days and I'm still lost.
drifting jolt
First and foremost, do you have the maps link? and the bullet guide link?
sudden panther
I have maps from the maps board in this group. No bullet guide though.
winged obsidian
gabsims if youre getting lost i would honestly run a few offline and work out some of the extracts on a couple maps to begin with (customs would be ideal) once youre comfortable add scavs or try your luck in raid
drifting jolt
^^
sudden panther
thanks.
drifting jolt
or turn the scavs to super low difficulty
and put them on highest density
that way you get practicing shooting at shitty bots
winged obsidian
yeah figuring out gun play is key as when i first played i was going mad thinking i was hitting people and i wasnt
drifting jolt
also you could be hitting people, but are using shitty amo
ammo*
and therefore that's why they're not dying
sudden panther
My biggest issue is direction. I have no idea where is where on the map (customs is what I'm starting with). I have decent aim but that doesn't get me very far when it comes to accomplishing annything
drifting jolt
well we cant teach you how to read a map lol.. but in all fairness, you have to learna map before you can really do much
winged obsidian
so on any map try and work out your key points of interest i mainly use where the sniper scav is on the tower as a my reference as its roughly halfway on the map the main points other than that i think are gas station dorms construction and big red
drifting jolt
Customs is the right map to start on
sudden panther
I know I know... I just need general direction I guess. (what I should be trying to accomplish, prioritize etc_
drifting jolt
you should be trying to familiarize yourself with loot spawn
spawns**
Taking your time crossing the map... paying close attention to where players spawn
winged obsidian
early on id say just get used to the maps dying is ok and getting gear fear is a big problem for new players you should invest in ammo and armor and your weapon whenever possible id usually aim for level 10 before anything but if youre lucky enough to get some task items on the way thats a bonus go for loot and making some kinda of money fun upto level 10
but everyone is differeny
*different
drifting jolt
Armor, not so much...
Armor level 3 and under is only going to protect you against scavs
If you want survivability vs beefed up players you need at the very least 4, i suggest 5+ armor
So just keep in mind as you learn, that the armor youre gonna buy is mostly only going to protect you vs scavs, and since you dont know the maps, theres no sense in buying super expensive armor, just to die
For instance, once you get good at the game, you'll just stop wearing a helmet
I rarely wear top tier armor, and never wear a helmet anymore
But a helmet isnt going to protect you against any chads really... maybe a bullet here and there... but their bullets are going to shred armor to begin with
winged obsidian
theres still a few maps im stuck on but sometimes those scavs get lucky it happens and untill you are fully comfortable stay away from boss scavs as they will 360 no scope you quicker than you can aim at times

@twilit spindle AP20 slugs, magnum buckshot or Flechette
drifting jolt
^
radiant edge
AP20 is for far and good pen, magnum and flechette are good for flesh damage
drifting jolt
AP20 slugs you need to aim for face or chest every shot, buckshot focus on the stomach/crotch/face, and flchette just shreds armor

Hey, I need to do the mechanic part 13 quest. But there are no skelonoized grips on the market. Could anybody here put some up on the market?

Got 1

whats the best 7.62x51 round?

7n1 does not one tap lvl 4 anymore. it barely did before

it get nerfed?
lapis mauve
no, chest got buffed
dire rock
86 dmg 45 pen
lapis mauve
if armor removes 2 points it won't one tap
tiny sable
So M61?
lapis mauve
it probably won't one tap lvl 3
dire rock
does armor take off dmg?
subtle condor
@tiny sable Yes m61.
@tiny sable It has 67 or smth pen. So it pens even tier 6 armor.
lapis mauve
armor removes up to 20% damage of a bullet that pens unless it pens by a ton (m61 vs paca for example)
dire rock
damn didnt know that, thanks
subtle condor
Could anybody here put a Magpul MOE pistol grip for AK on the flea?
(need it for the mechanic)

lapis mauve
Could anybody here put a Magpul MOE pistol grip for AK on the flea?
@subtle condor you can only sell things on flea if they are found in raid. someone would need to drop it in raid for you
subtle condor
Oh yea
forgot that when you buy stuff they aren't found in raid
Anybody here able to buy it then hop in a raid with me?(Will pay 10x what it costs to buy)
Magpul MOE Pistol grip.
Unlocked at mehcanic III

@RC_1140#7576
Armor can even reduce dmg by up to 40% :P
The 20% is only when the pen is just enough (40 pen vs class 4)
lapis mauve
oh yeah, i missed that. like i said, its a small section on the ballistics page. easy to overlook while getting to the list of bullets
languid flare
Tell me about it.
X_X
I had to correct SO MANY people about it who said:
"But 7N1 does 86 damage!"
lapis mauve
indeed. i do wonder how often it can one tap lvl 2 tho
languid flare
class 2 it might.
Iam unsure if it could class 3
It has 45 pen

Needs a test

spark marsh
Its best to be the last one into big red for the pickup of the item. Both so you have a chance someone else has opened the room for you and so its safer ( as at the start of a raid , there are a lot of spawns there )
@frank glacier
Also. You can 5 stack factory to block enemy pmcs from spawning in
languid flare
@lapis mauve I mean... it depends if 15 overpen is enough to make it not reduce by 2
But I know that a Trooper (class 4) will be a one tap, after it got already 3 times hit by 7N1 before xD
frank glacier
thanks @spark marsh
languid flare
@frank glacier If me and my duo spawn big red we always go office to open it, generally its not often opened tho
lapis mauve
you can ask here or in #pvp-lfg
sometimes you can get enough helpful people on at a time for 1 raid
alternatively 1-2 extra people makes it a lot easier
languid flare
Yeah, even one more makes it much easier

depends on the stim

green is good if u get cover mid fight

That he recommended
raven gazelle
the etg u only use if ur really hurt
example if a grenade blows up at ur feet ur body goes down to like 50 hp
use ur etg
raven gazelle
etg is the only stim i run but if u wanna use more then id recommend u do ur research on the wiki

i would just hold etg in gamma and use it when needed
probs wont use it often

Really wish they'd fix these fucking super scavs. Just shot one point blank in the face about 10 times with my ak and he just shrugged it off and killed me.

Feel you @opaque garnet
I traded with a toz scav on woods: 149m I shot him with a pu scope mosin
He got me with buckshot head eyes
opaque garnet
The aim I can kinda deal with, its the ones with invincibility that really piss me off
strong barn
I think its not them
I think it is our mags giving ghost bullets
opaque garnet
18 hits
strong barn
Yea ghost bullets
You hit him on your client but you never 'fired' your gun on the server side
opaque garnet
omfg, how can i fix that?
opaque garnet
thanks. Fuck that's stupid though, how the fuck am I supposed to tell it's happened before that same scenario happens again
strong barn
Honestly
Start of every raid switch mags and come back to your first one
But it is rare
I've had ghost bullets only a few times and my friend confirmed my mag was full on his screen
it was empty on mine
after I died so shrug
opaque garnet
alright, thanks for the help

2 ap-20 thorax vs t3 armor is 100% a kill right? just making sure bc he somehow didnt die

Whats with the timer glitch for raids and run-throughs? Spawned immediately at 44:59 on customs. Extracted sometime after 30:00 (I checked time, saw I was good and took off for extract) but I get a run-through and the timer says I was in for less than 8, uhh wut?
drifting jolt
@opaque garnet That has to be a bug of some sort, never seen that happen.
That's unfortunate bro 😦
stuck junco
@opaque garnet Had it happen on Intercahnge a lot, it seems to be an EU problem a lot of the time. You play at normal speeds but the servers are so overloaded they are actually slowing down in terms of time
opaque garnet
Huh, that could have something to do with it, though I'm on NA servers. It did seem super quiet in-raid, like it was too laggy for people to join. I was going between 100-130 ping the whole time.

Hello I'm fairly new to the game. I'm having trouble playing Customs with PMC spawning West Side of the map making my way to Exfil points like ZB-1012, 1011 alive on live matches, any tips or advice/help to give to me?
stray barn
I also have trouble with that @sacred swift, my only solution is to extract later. If you do that then most people at dorms/gas station will have already left, letting you get to extract without having to deal with them crossing your path. Just be careful with the sniper scavs, they're easy to take out if you know where they are.
drifting jolt
@sacred swift @stray barn The west side of hte map is shittier to spawn on, i suggest if you spawn near the river to just instantly cross over to the main section, otherwsie you rise running into PMCs early.. Move bush to bush, dont be scared to take it slow... I average over 20 minutes in raid
stray barn
That's what I do
drifting jolt
So going slowly isnt going to put you behind... if anything you'll run across more bodies with potential loot on them
stray barn
If I don't I always get rushed by a 3 man lol

Well then you need to learn the map more and play smarter and smarter
this game is going to kick you in the dick over and over until you learn some shit

drifting jolt
@sacred swift @stray barn you can always PM me for questions or advice I average over 9 hours a day in tarkov for the past 2 and a 1/2 months lol
stray barn
Yeah I know, that's basically all my raids. Stay out of other PMCS ways, stay away from gunshots, only fight when I know I'll win. So just ambushes on unsuspecting solos.
If I can get in, do my quests, get some loot, and then get out completely undetected I'll absolutely go for it.
The main goal is to survive, I don't need to get into 5 fights and die at extract.

imo as soon as you hit lvl 10 sell stuff on flea then get pk to lvl 2 so you can use m80. it has 41 pen so it will pen lvl 4 and break lvl 5 fairly fast. hunter is a cheap gun for it. also worth looking at mdr imo, and m1a when you can get mags

sell them
you can sell the lvl 32 ones for more than it costs to buy that backpack

because its part of so many quests at the start
sudden panther
I'm terrible so far lol.. I'm decent at other FPS games but this not really
What should I be trying to do. Should I just go for extraction?
pine sundial
Quests, i would focus on quests
they will give you a lot of xp, so you can unlock better equipment from traders
also flee market slap

k thx. last dumb question sorry, but I was playing as a scav and i got hit. My guy's health looked ok but he wouldnt stop gagging/coughing and wheezing

I'm getting absolutely demolished raid after raid. I keep trying offline raids to practice I guess but it never compares to coming across a player. I really need someone to just play with me for a while and share with me their game while we play so I can better understand not getting killed. I have a really important meeting in 30 minutes which shouldnt be longer than an hour, if there is anyone willing to play some raids with me please dm me.
stray barn
When you're a noob and bad at the game, avoiding players is the only option. There's not really a solution until you get better gear, learn the map, and get good with the guns.
hasty sun
No way to get good with the guns without fighting people. And Scav fighting is verrry different from pvp
drifting jolt
@mortal hare I may be able to help a little bit.. PM me when youre back
lapis mauve
fighting scavs will at least improve your aim. you also need good map knowledge, then you can do as much as possible to make sure your pvp is an ambush. and i don't mean camp all game. doing offline labs fighting raiders might help too

@opaque garnet To your question earlier about runthroughs as Scav
It IS possible.
Just really hard and basically only when you spawn near exit and extract straight away.
Simply take a moment, loot a little and THEN get out.
Bonus: some extra money

What's the average loading time?
meager inlet
Hey, I am wondering how can I start improving my skills in this game? I find my self dying to most PMCs I meet and I feel like I should be besting more of them.
It feels like some of the time it is just straight up I can’t hit my shots.
loud cloak
certain ammo types will not do anything to higher armour classes
check the ballistics page on the wiki to see what bullets penetrate which armour classes
meager inlet
Like I was running an M870 with AP-20 on resort and I met two PMCs with good armour and guns. I felt like I should’ve won that yet I didn’t because either my positioning or aim.
@loud cloak I know about armor penetration and stuff, that is why I am running high pen anmo like always now.
loud cloak
I'm brand new too but I haven't had too much of an issue, I still die a lot but I feel like my fights have been fair or that the people that killed me were much more prepared to kill than me

Meet Russell Textbook, he’s the teacher of ammo and he told me that AP .366 is the best ammo in the game

it doesnt matter how many hours u play
there isnt a bracket where u go from being a beginner to a pro or anything

how do i fix

get used to it by playing offline with scavs on insane mode
and also cursed
if you manage to survive that while also hitting the marked rooms / good loot spots its okay

yes

heady mirage
Typically you want something with a high rate of fire, also no, it has this trigger delay that throws off shots, just use a mosin
heavy mirage
need help to kill 11 scavs on customs for quests
heady mirage
For cqc that is, high rate of fire, m4, hk, rpk
heavy mirage
trying to hit level 10
wanton grove
@heady mirage what do you recommend pre flea-market, all traders lvl1? just mosin?
heady mirage
Mosin is a solid choice yeah, as far as snipers go
I still use it a bunch
It's not as good as it was last wipe unfortunately
carmine gust
And for semi auto if you hate 1 shots get an SKS with PS rounds
heady mirage
Sks is alright too, but if you want stopping power go with the mosin, sks is better if you get into closer range engagements or your fighting multiple people
carmine gust
Totally agree
heady mirage
Nothing of particular note, you will have access to more ammo however
Ak building options too
carmine gust
@heavy mirage I gots to get some skavs on customs too. What region you play?
heady mirage
Use iron sights or a PU scope
heavy mirage
na
heady mirage
Keep in mind you need the sniper variant of the mosin to use a scope
heavy mirage
@carmine gust
wanton grove
yeah, i've got one. Its my only wep that survived more than 1 pmc run xD
mosin with PU
heady mirage
It's a nice gun, it's a lot of fun, not as good as it used to be but it works well
wanton grove
i keep getting trashed when i stumble upon highly geared people
they have these high rate of fire weps
that just melt me down
not sure what that is, looks m4ish

the recoil is weird in this game as well, i feel like it punishes single tapping

I have to agree, its a german gun 😛

when i run like AK and play full auto but i single tap mid range the barrel launches up like a spacex vehicle
civic walrus
i almost never use full auto
always single tapping
only switch to full auto when rushing at super close range
wanton grove
but is there a difference if your firing mode is full auto and you single tap, or you use single ?
civic walrus
single fire
languid flare
In single you cant full auto 😛
wanton grove
yeah but recoil wise
heady mirage
No difference, easier to fire off more shots on accident if your trying to tap fire full auto
languid flare
Well, if you really just shoot one bullet, it should not have a difference
wanton grove
okay then, because i felt like there is
but i probably bursted
great, thanks for help
ah one more, i've seen some debate if wearing a helmet makes sense or not
from which armor lvl do you recommend wearing the helmet
same with chest armor

Just buy penis helmet (ssh) and nothing else
Exfil if you want faceshield
raven gazelle
depends on money

im over 1 mil now but i will drown it quickly since i try to learn general combat and play risky
