If you get the right spawn you can always get in thr marked room and escape before anyone else shows up
Becuase I wont have gotten a grenades case ~ 700k on the market
i can do what every person that has ever killed me does and hid until someone gets close but i always die
Instead I got 200k roubles and 2 ammo boxes ~ 500k
Lost 200k but I got 2k more xp
I dont think the trade off was worth it
whether i shoot them in the head or the legs nothing i do matters they always just kill me
Well what bullets are you running ?
You have to peek first to get the upper advantage and you need the right ammo type
Ammo is king in this game
This game has peekers advantage
whatever the scav i extract with has if i can even extract with said gear.
So peeking first is not necessarily an "advantage"
and ammo is always too expensive
I mean its not really a noticeable difference
But like it can be the difference between death
What level are you @granite apex ?
13 and i die 90% of the time
Thats normal
theres only a few times i spawn in and actually get out but i never get out with more than what i go in with.
whether i shoot them in the head or the legs nothing i do matters they always just kill me
@granite apex Shooting in the head is a matter of dead center in the face, not the side nor the top because there is ricochet chance. Legs is whether you are running leg meta ammo
Obviously you can shoot anywhere
Pretty much just use more expensive ammo if you want to win fights
Or a mosin
Because that shit ass gun is powerfull
At level 13 I would just worry about knowing the map first....pick one map and run it till you master it
no matter how much i memorize a map or mod a gun and run expensive ammo i just get destroyed and it makes no sense. i can shoot someone in the head with that ap for the glock and nah the guy just turns around and destroys me
Knowledge is more useful than skill in this game
I still find how 1 bullet from a mosin can pretty much tap a 500k set gear chad
kinda dumb
i did. interchange. offline, online. scavs no scavs. bosses no bosses. i always get killed by some asshole player hiding in a corner of a room
no matter how much i memorize a map or mod a gun and run expensive ammo i just get destroyed and it makes no sense. i can shoot someone in the head with that ap for the glock and nah the guy just turns around and destroys me
@granite apex Sounds like you are hitting as many shots as you think you are then
Damn interchange is a hard map
Bad for new players
I wouldnt run it if my life depended on it
it just makes no sense how i cna unload a gun into someones leg or try to one tap someone in the head and they just shrug it off like i shot a spit ball at them
Ill only go to interchange if I want pvp and thats it. And I expect to lose the gear I'm bringing in
I'm struggling incredibly hard with the 5 scav kills on woods without armor task. Woods is by far my least favorite map and I don't want to go near it, but I'm fairly close to level 15 too, unsure what to do. Customs has been kicking my ass lately too.

@granite apex Ok so you "one tapping them" to the head could be just you being unlucky and it ricocheting but if you unload a mag full of leg round metas into their legs, they should be dead no matter what so maybe you're missing more than you think you are
@potent lance are you going to the warehouse?
I know what to do. The issue is getting the chance to even do it since I've been getting 1 tapped in the first minute or two for the past 5 attempts.

@potent lance Just get like a hunter, 4x pso scope and 10 round mags and to the right side of the map. Tons of open fields where you can shoot scavs
maybe but all that happens when i shoot them is they turn around and boom headshot like the knew i was laying down or leaning around a corner. or can see me in the dark and its fucking biullshit
Again, I know what to do. I'm getting killed before I can even get started by players.
and i dont know what meta ammo is so
For that quest I just used a pistol and ran to the warehouse as soon as I spawned. I almost always got there before anyone else
maybe but all that happens when i shoot them is they turn around and boom headshot like the knew i was laying down or leaning around a corner. or can see me in the dark and its fucking biullshit
@granite apex Dude I dont know what you want us to say. You are dying, well we die too. Maybe you're missing more than you think you're hitting. Just try playing the game at a difference pace
Like on other maps I can at least understand what's going on when I die and how I die and learn from it. I'm not getting that with Woods.
Like you dying to a player and then saying all this stuff like why you're dying, what you're doing isnt really asking for help. Its more like complaining about whats happened, something you cant change.
So shrug it off
Its just a game
Woods have alot of snipers....you just have to rush it on that map for that quest. You cant take it slow
Like on other maps I can at least understand what's going on when I die and how I die and learn from it. I'm not getting that with Woods.
@potent lance Woods is a sniper haven. Literally just gonna get one tapped from a silencer and you're gonna have to accept the fact that it happened
With just a pistol you're light so you're faster than everyone else
I don't take it slow, which is why it's hard for me to grasp.
What I'm trying to do is figure out how or why and what I can do better. Just accepting it feels very much against what I've been told as a new player for everything else. I'm definitely projecting a bit though and I apologize for coming off as such.
Rather, I don't take it slow in Woods.
No optic
Take a mosin
And run across the map
Its what I did
I killed 8 scavs on woods more than 40 meters away . mosin no optic in 3 raids
I believe in you
Appreciate it
Bush wookie ftw!
is there any way to spend money @ peacekeeper to get him to lvl2 that's most efficient?
not really...
because 11k dollars is like 1.3 mil
yeah?
i mean just sell him a chunk of each of your raid every time
just the same as you do with every other dealer
not really anything you can do differently
I just bought the dollars and then used the cash to buy whatever I need from him for gunsmith or for weapons and so on as I need them. Those dollars I then spend end up going towards the next level of rep, further bumping my exchange with him. You can get near two rep levels worth with only the 1.3 mil roubles.
this is my second one hahah
@raven gazelle What are you giving them
Ive kinda stopped
The last 3 or 4 returns ive gotten have been less than 30k
When sold
So im basically paying to lsoe money
Ye u often lose money but u mae A LOT of money when u get really lucky with it so id say its worth it
do you recommend any ADAR builds guys? As this gun for now is my personal favourite
Ofc the price/performance is important here
Theres a cool build for the adar that TweaK has on his channel
ok ill look for it
As long as you're using strong ammo
855 is ok right
Uh if you're only planning on killing scavs or hatchlings
Anyone with tier 5,even tier 4 armour. Unless you can hit like 3 headshots in a row, might aswell just forfeit the fight
You want either m856a1 or m855a1
M855a1 might be pricy but 6a1 will probably work
thanks
looking for a level 20+ to help me with this quest

What is the stim called that enables you to run faster?
can i play with someone im new
i'm pretty sure it will
@minor basin your insurance has a 20-28 hour return time from prapor
@twilit spindle adrenaline i think, sj6 doubles your stam though so maybe look into that one
any that increase strength will make you run faster. the ones that increase stamina/endurance let you run longer. there is a lot of them that do one/both so i'd just look at all of them
Kind of a dumb question, but I'm running out of stash space and I'm looking at getting a container. Thinking either a weapons case or an item case. Already have a few others (food, meds, mags, ammo, document) but not sure what would be best. Any suggestions?
Scav case
Lucky scav junkbox I mean
196 slots and can store quite a lot. Saves you a ton of space on loot items and such you are keepin for quests or for crafting @opaque garnet
The lucky scav junkbox changed my life lmao getting it made inventory management so much easier
Once I had enough money I also made sure to get a meds case and get the gunpowder to trade for an ammo case, those help a lot too
Also does anybody have any advice for dorms tasks? I try my best to get them done but I almost always run into beefy chads before I can make out with my quest items
You need to be the first one or the last one into dorms IMO
Obvs everyone brings nades, but I normally carry a smoke on me if im plannin on going dorms,
There are quite a few rotations you can do to get out of dorms without getting picked off, and breaking line of sight can be a huge factor in that
if you're trying to do stuff in dorms and you don't want to pve tbh just take your time and get there a bit later after all the fun, you'll generally be alone or left alone if you're quiet
Wouldnt suggest going dorms if it's quiet, probably means someone is camping and nobody has yet to meet him
Wait the fights to be done with and let the juicy bois get out
Next time I'll sit in a bush until there's like 10 minutes left and go at it π¦
That's probably more than enough time to let everybody get out of there
You need to be able to extract yourself too lol
Phoenix which quest?
Level 7 newb looking for some cover / help to do Delivery from the past. On the factory part but keep getting killed before planting.
@harsh leaf try and doing it at night with and rush to the place no one in factory night time checks that spot and no one moves quickly
or get a 5 stack on factory, it blocks hostile pmcs from spawnin in
ye it says it in the menu
its incorrect
from exprience i tried doing 5 mans
theres always another pmc
rarely do u not get another pmc
on daytime fact, there is only 5 pmc slots
It is 5, but it sometimes bugs out (mostly at night) and does 6
I personally, most of the time had 5
but ye 5 mans are still very safe
@spark marsh We believe you.
And it does say it.
But there have been people doing 5 mans and then having a 6th PMC, AFTER they changed it to 5
Its not always, it should be rare, but it DOES happen
ye i got a 5 v 5 once
like literally 2 days ago
but i think that literally just a bug


A 5v5 I doubt
shrugs
well idk my teammated wiped 4 pmcs on night time fact and we were atleast 4
Teamkills π€£
shrugs
Maybe Factory bugs out in a way that a 'second team' can get in.
Just most of the time its just one more.
ye factory is weird cus of the "5" man limit
but ye again it only happened once out of 30+ raids that day
so again 5 mans are very safe
i can play every map apart from reserve and i dont know why this is. when loading into reserve it takes me ages but in others its fast. When i load into reserve i lag so much
anyone else here play on aus servers and feel like the games really dead lately? I am running popular areas and finding 1 person a raid
Mitch only my cpu is, i got a rtx 2080 super
@bold kernel reserve is the worst optimized map
I also get lags.
Dont worry about it.
You dont really need to go on it
@tiny stag thats just Australia, I guess.
Like.... 4...5?
At least those you gotta do something.
does scav boss/guards shoot on sight if youre a player scav?
In my experience they do
Dont know if thats supposed to happen or if they are aggro for some reason
Why does my gun randomly stop shooting in full auto?
Is there a way to just straight up reset my character and shit
Yes
like full account reset? Stash gone, exp gone, everything?
go to the bsg launcher, click your name in top right, then reset game profile
DM me if you want to learn how to get rich with great loot!
Why does my gun randomly stop shooting in full auto?
@undone bloom durability jam or bug
hola, im looking for somone quite high skilled tohelp
me on some money runs cause im broke af
If I upgrade editions with it be in effect immediately? New secure container, inventory space etc?
And I won't have to wipe my character either right?
Yes. You get a message the same as quest rewards and appreciation packages.
Right on, ty
Are there any good guides for optimising performance based on your PC? I don't want to keep loading into raids and hiding in a bush while I wait for my game to stop stuttering
For me, it was running the game in fullscreen with high+texture streaming, and shadows turned all the way up
Seems weird but it improved my frames alot
Does vsync help?
no
yea
Are those rifles any good? Found one off dead raider that fucked both my arms w that round but didn't really get to pvp with it
Better off with adar or something then?
yea
Kk tyvm
even if you mod out the vpo it still has shit recoil
just mod an rpk or an akm at that point
I've gotten to a low of 116 for the VPO
definitely not good for recoil
but the ammo is nice
the 366 ap ammo
The best possible is 110, which is not bad for a semiauto shootin ap rounds
It is still kind of a meme build, since an akm does the same or better with lower recoil
Using mostly same parts as well
its bad
its not bad, you are just bad with it, because you are used to your meta m4 builds
Every gun has it's benefits and disadvantages
Well I like them, they are fun to use
facts dont care about your feelings-ben shapiro 9:23
Hm out of curiosity, is the bullet hit detection tied to the framerate or something? I just put four shotgun shells in a Scav nearly point blank and he didn't even flinch - unless he spawned with good enough armor to tank it?
probably just armor, I remember hating shotties from last wipe, but i'm pretty sure they changed them
leg meta them
I'm not good enough at reacting to surprise enemies yet to aim for the legs but I'll keep that in mind
It takes some getting used to
I'm still not very good at it
but if you know they're coming you can prepare
duude i finally dropped some 50 lvl players with the modded adar and i diodnt manage to bring that loot anyway π¦
comtac2 headset is so much better than the one you can get from ragman
holy shit
thats unfortunate
good job getting the kills tho, you've proved you can do it, so you can do it again
how do you progress lol
I swear down, I buy like tier 4 armour and stuff and still get one tapped every time, is tier 4 bad or something
its not great
it depends on what ammo ur against but most ammo now will destroy lvl 4
the jump from level 4 armor to level 5 is huge
anyone managed to get a three monitor set up working for EFT?
i dont think they have multi monitor stuff in yet lmoa
you have to have a ligit 3090 to do that shit
ive seen pictures of it being done, i just wondered if it was true or not. Not sure why anyone would fake it though
What setup?
9th gen i5, rtx 2060 super
What would be on the other monitors
no i mean running EFT across all monitors
ive got thee monitors running already
just wouldnt know how to get it to work
im pretty sure they dont support that stuff yet
adn i really doubt a 3 monitor setup would be good to play on
fair enough, haven't tried it before so just thought id ask
If im going scav factory
Whats the time I must wait till to make my items found in raid
If Im not gonnakill anyone
I'm pretty sure scavs can't get run throughs
wow, that's never happened to me
quest?
Yes
I thought maybe
If I killed a scav
It would be enough for factory
Waited till 11 minutes
Killed a scav
And extracted
And it was a run throuhg
killing one scav doesnt give enough xp
So I can fit up to 4 two slot items in my gamass container right?
lfg to help with debut prapor quest π
Hey, are the only places raiders ( not including scav boss) on reserve are train station, below the hermetic bunker and the k buildings next to train station?
Or can they spawn other places too
@stray copper a gamma is 3x3
Hello, Im a lvl 19 playing his first wipe and looking for some ppl who want to run customs or other maps to get quest done or help me get some done. Again its my first wipe, but my aiming nots that bad but i am inexperienced.
@sharp sluice good luck bud, take it slow and deliberately when you do your quests, or immediately rush the spot you have to go to, no in between
@drifting jolt I have tried both strategy's and all unfortunately has me lying in a ditch with holes through my eyes. I am convinced I need to roll with a teammate or teammates.
@drifting jolt but thank you for the luck kind sir
@sharp sluice I honestly get slaughtered wayyyy more when i play with people... Im a pretty rich player, but my survival rating with teammates is abysmal
My survival rating is only 31% overall, but it's even lower with friends π¦
@drifting jolt damn
@sharp sluice what quests u doing
which of these are harder to find? im gonna craft the hard one
@bold kernel both are pretty damn rare
the big red customs and some dorms ones @cyan walrus then hopefully more
the customs one is risky, bc if you go early you're probably going to run into players
unless you spawn super close to it, then rush it asap, get in and get out
yeah just tried it made it out of droms and got killed on the way to big red
err the dorms one i mean
anyone able to help me with some quest progression/working toward hideout upgrades? im still fairly new to the game lvl20

what's up everyone! im level 3 and this is my first pc game. im a pretty intelligent person and learn extremely fast. ive started learning customs and im starting to be able to navigate by sight. been watching a lot of streamers but would love to have someone to actually guide me around. if anyone wants someone to sherpa i would love the help. i'm a good listener and pay close attention to what is going on. hopefully someone is willing to take on a rookie like me. if anyone is worried about me being a squeaker, im 32.
anyone able to help me with some quest progression/working toward hideout upgrades? im still fairly new to the game lvl20 I am on EU but dont mind playing on NA servers.

Best way to do 4 woods scav kills no healing when I only have enough money for cheap kits?
Does anyone have the New customs map?
U can get it on the wiki I believe
wait you can group up as scavs too?
Yessir
thats kinda weird
Only if u are a scav
So pmcs can group with other pmcs and scavs can group with other scavs
Nope
Only scav tradeoff is you don't get the xp you earn and you spawn later in the raid
would it be better to keep bitcoins or just sell em to therapist?
level 7 and trying to hit level 10 need help
Hi, I'm really new to the game and feel intimidated by the game flow. My game/map sense hasn't developed very much yet and would appreciate some help from someone who know's what they're doing.

id stick to one but thats just me
@gray jay just leave it at defauult
I had Therapist at LL3 and she's dropped back down to LL2. Can anyone explain if this is supposed to happen, and for what reason?
Oh, also Peacekeeper has dropped back down to LL2 from LL3, too :/
You sure you didn't click on one of the tabs that only show level 2 items?
Maybe the shit glitched, see if there is any money or level req you need to meet
No... I've been playing for a while now. They were both LL3
I've exceed both of their requirements for LL3 and they dropped after returning from raid
Can anyone teach me the ropes as far as like pvp and shit lmao Im stuck on lvl 9 and know all the maps besides woods and shoreline. I'm not asking for pity Im asking for your help

@wide coyote
@drifting jolt
@glass cloud
@spare isle it's a big 4x4 green rig that holds 3x1s, it's 4 slots of them i believe, sorry i dont know the names of things like that π¦
look through each one on fleamarket bro
it's a big green one...
there's only like 3 or 4 big green chest rigs
AACPC also has some 3x1s
Any beginners wanna do resort runs on shoreline with me and my brother? im not looting but i have keys for everything. Good pvp experience and gets you used to doing loot runs Join VC "LFG Shoreline #7"
@steel nova bit no one is in #7
@spare isle the rig is called alpha and its green
As far as I know team kills don't count. Didn't for the 3 pistol pmc kills
You could just try to match the same game seperately.
Which would be hella work for 10x
Yeah I'm probably screwed then
Just turn all your settings down
It's just my ram, the graphics settings don't change anything. I only have issues on shoreline and sometimes reserve which sucks
Sorry to hear that, just gotta power through or get more ram
Yeah I have a chance at hatchet runners if I grab a shotgun lol
Thanks for letting me know about it not working on teammates I'll delete that message so I don't get @ about it
Anyone/any group wanting/able to help with Delivery from the past quest? (Prapor) Honestly stuck with it. (AUS/OCE)
Does anyone know if I can still get the wounded beast quest done while on painkillers?
@stray nest i would but you're on the other side of the globe π¦

i need the name
@spare isle alpha can hole those mags
@hasty saffron I can't understand the maps. I wish there was a radar in the game. It would make things so much better.
That would not be realistic at all
looking for help debut mission currently level 4
They... are adding a compass.
Probably next patch, if all goes well
And you cant even lose it :)
where can I find 3m armor? im lvl 5
stuggling to tell the difference between scavs and pmcs tbh
@bold kernel On scavs mostly. There are also 3-4 spawns on Factory. Check Fence as well.
Been playing customs only and I havent found a single one on scav so far, I'll try factory thanks
The office on the filing cabinets, outside catwalk office side and one in one of the shipping containers.
I'll keep that in mind I still need to learn the maps I've only played customs so far
No worries. It takes forever to learn a map. I would look at a video on those spawns before going in. Factory is a chaotic PVP mess sometimes {always}.
Yeah and Im starting to run out of stash space
lol that never ends. Scav box is the best but that is quite a grind off still
Yeah I dont have any containers
Hi, just found a hexagon handguard in a raid and wanna put it on my ak105, cuz it says thats compatible, but when i try to put it on it says "cannot instal both ak105 and hex blk at the same time", does anybody know whats causing the issue?
Probably the AK105 handguard.
Pull off the handguard and if that doesn't work screen shot
try taking off the gas tube. Some handguards have them. If not that I have no idea
sry
weird. Sorry I cant help
anyone wna play im new
I can't maing ke sense of these maps. Fed up of running out of time. Give us a radar. You can even get Google maps on a mobile now.

@blissful geode Iβm down to possibly 3 man or something
@ebon sage sure
Iβll be a second, Iβm in a scav raid, Iβm only level 3 so Iβm a trash and still learning lmao
same
I can't maing ke sense of these maps. Fed up of running out of time. Give us a radar. You can even get Google maps on a mobile now.
@unborn torrent If you're referring to knowing the map, you'll really just have to play and grind out 1 or 2 maps. There are online 3d maps for free that can help you with a map but just go one map over and over again until you get it. I started with customs, then learned reserve for rat running. My first wipe, 1 month and I already no maps by heart
same
@blissful geode If you want a 3rd Id be down to join
ok ye sure call me
@blissful geode if you need help i can help you out im lvl 25
looking to play and help any beginners

is there a good way to level search or is it just search bodies till you get it
Cash Registers.
Get the goshen cash key has like 35 or so in a row to loot
Also filing cabinets are good for it
LFG LVL 20, first wipe, tring to get quests done on customs,interchange, etc. Would love some help on the quest or other ppl around the same level to do them together.
is flechette worth using? low flesh dmg compared to ap20
it'll more realizably take down someone in a slick.
Depends on where you are taking the engagements though. If you are looking at 30+ meters, AP-20 is your best bet still.
So if you are planning on going to shoreline and get scav headshots for example, the AP-20 slug is king. If for some reason you wanted to corner camp labs then a flechette would probably handle the job more consistently .
ap20 has bit more range?
its one big bullet for 164 damage. It also gives accuracy buff too of like 125%
flech has more spread
flechette is 8 pellets
It's the only shotgun bullet that is.
Ap-20 or flechette
the big drop in flesh for flech seems shite
where do you find that chart? i think mine is out of date
!ammo
Ap-20 looks better in stats however how come the flechettte looks like it pens more
Interesting
Just looks like flechette is better
Except is spreads and is a lot less accurate
i guess the 8 shots bring up the flesh dmg but you need to be close range
you won't ever get a kill with flechettes at 50meters
the odds of you getting a kill from 25-50 are pretty slim too
ok understand it better now
AP-20 > Flechette for typical game play though
mid range flech wont cut it
Flechette definitely can outshine it situationally though.
Right,.
That being said though. AP-20 will not take down a slick user unless they are just not smart.
Many of shotgun raids ended because of damn slick absorbing 1k+
mp-153?
saiga for the mags
Fair enough. Good luck mate
seems a better choice, you get off 5 shots fast
Yea, its not a bad choice
10 rounders are 3 slot i think
Just making sure you didn't pick a mp-133 or the new shotty
reload with those only usefull on factory imo
can you get the si adv buffer tube from a trader?
red or black?
the non-red one, yes.
@merry bobcat
red
no
Nope, weapon crate and kiba
that fucking sucks
I mean the flea sells them too
isnt the black one like 30k from traders /
10k
Really, that low?
ye
Well you pay more for meta parts.
oh yeah, does anyone here run into the issue of not being able to scav on reserve?
I can scav anywhere else but if i goto reserve my matching time is always 10 minutes+ before i just close it
That has been something I've heard numerous people complain about.
I loaded in about 3 minute queue yesterday on reserve with scav
I can't personally say I have the issue, but I assume a good handful of the servers do.
My buddies on the west coast typically complained the most. I assume its related to those servers.
Well scavs usually spawn in when someone extracts or dies so if you aren't getting in the server, either their are too many rats waiting for found in raid items, not enough fighting or the servers are fked
But like I dont really know, but I did load in yesterday
Or people arent doing reserve on their PMC
Can't match into a game if none are going.
I would usually run PMC all the time on reserve for money or zero to hero kind of stuff
I need a 6b43 armour less than 50% durability, is there any other way to lower it instead of having to take it out and get shot at but hope you dont die?
nope
wym scav case
Scav case in the hideout
ye ik but what about it
Is there a chance to get the 6b43 armour less than 50%
Also which one i sbetter. 85k or intelligence
the armour u get from scav case is 100% and even if ut was ur chances of getting that specific armour would be like 0%
@fiery latch depends what ur looking for
Im just checking the market every now and then
fence will be your best bet for that
@ember pendant u could look at fence but no one will probably sell to fence cos it sells for a LOT
Uh, people don't repair them after a certain point
and they can't sell them to ragman
You'd be surprised how many go through fence. All I can say.
6b43 does not get sold to fence but sure
unless someone deosnt know what they r doing but thats very rare
lol
lol?
What do you do with a 0/59 when you get it back in insurance?
repair and sell (not to fence)/use
Repairing it will 50k + and its not worth using
it'd sell to ragman for around 60k or you could just fence it for 30k damaged
also often if people get it back they will keep it for quests
and using it is better than nothing
Alright Batman. You are right. I don't see 4-5 of them on fence a day.
hahaha
Sorry for trying to help someone with your wealth of knowledge available.
Well
If you do see them
Again
Let me know and ping me please
Because I need one
If help for first task debut currently level 4
how am i doing for my first wipenot the best i know but hoping im not too bad lmao
Stats don't matter much imo. If you enjoy the game and are getting better then you are doing great.
Any tips for the 3 pistol pmc kills? Already got two but luck is never in my favor
On a break atm so I probably won't be looking much but will do.
You could also try killing reshala and his boys.
@ember pendant wait I got a question about this
A day or two ago reshala was acting odd
Did they change ai or something?
Ive been on a break. Can't answer that personally.
Iβve never seen reshala burst me and leave gas station
The other way around but you ge the point
I believe since the last wipe they just made them more aggressive
I fought him at gas and he moved to the underpass
Usually he doesnt move ?
I've seen him do that if he was actually spawned on the power area on top of the hill.
I donβt know his goons was the scariest part though
He will chase down to gas station to fight and roam back after his goons kill the dude they agrood to.
They know where you are for most of the par t
When I fought him
Shouldnβt he usually be stationary
He will chase down to gas station to fight and roam back after his goons kill the dude they agrood to.
@ember pendant this isnβt what happened though
Nope. It's need to be 3 durability lower I think.
Thanks funky.
Good think I didnt buy it then
I'd like a reshala that patrolled personally though.
You can always buy one and have someone shoot it for you.
The fraud it and finish the raid.
Kinda running poor how to do yall suggest i make rubles
What's your favorite map?
im v new but i have been playing inter,fact, and customs if i find a dorm key
Interchange would probably be the best for money out of those 3 as a beginner.
I'd suggest learning the outside cache locations,doing a fuel run, or looting goshen warehouse for the tools as a beginner.
sounds good ill give those a try and see hwo it goes thanks!!
This is my Interchange loot route I do on stream you can find many VODs, and me doing it live on my Twitch Channel
How much do small SICCs normally go for? i dont see any in the market
Those two will be great resources for learning the routes I said above, jacoby
Sicc cases can't be found in raid so you can't sell them.
are the red lines the supply loots ?
ah. makes sense
They are around 1.2 - 1.6 mil roubles from the trader after you gather all the stuff for it.
which trader and rep?
Jager ll3 I think.
hwo does one unlock that guy
And Jacob. Yes that's right. It has a picture of where it roughly is.
thanks
I just got the quest to unlock him after the first gunsmith task from mech
A quest called the introduction. Given after you do some stuff for mechanic.
hm idk how to really get tasks yet but im abotu out of money and guns so i doubt it matters rn
You go to traders and they have a tab called task.
do I need to insure melee weapon?
Oh thats easy
Prapor and therapist have them at lvl 1.
Need to? No. It won't get stolen off you.
It's like insuraning your container.
π
also if u insure a weapon will it just show up back in my stash?
i insured a rifle and idk where it went lol
No it will be a message from whoever you insured it with.
you get a message with the items inclosed
Assuming no one looted it and brought it out of the raid.
It takes 24-36 hours as well when you are low level.
is there a place i can check for messages
Bottom right hand of the client.
thank you for all your help
π
Hang in there Jacoby, im new too.. just hit lvl 10.. things start making some sort of sense eventually. lol. Also, the game completely changes when you hit 10 and unlock the flea market
u get bonEr at level 10
i was up 3 more hours than mornal last night thinging only 10 mins went by looking at everything
Does anyone wanna do some runs? I want some loot for my stash so I can use on good runs
Ok thatβs enough tarkov for today
Get a scav with a keycard which I assume is good, I get some loot only to get one tapped by a fellow player scav after we made friends
dont trust anyone
Not even teammates.
This game gets me salty af, since I started playing again mid wipe I have been mowed down by pmc's with silenced m4's every single fucking raid. Whats the point even of wearing level 4 armor when I get fatally shot in the thorax before I can fire my first round. Out of the 10 raids I've played I havent extracted a single time
Lvl 4 armor will only protect you versus scavs at this point in a wipe.
Most players will have bullets that go right through it. I suggest either avoiding pvp until afford similar setups OR play a lot slower.
@weary badge so dont wear armour lmao
Yeah I'm avoiding PVP as much as I can, only go through low traffic areas at customs and do everything I can not to be seen
Does the learning curve begin when you spend 400k on a loadout or what?
when you can play raids consistently without dying at every fight starting
You could just be unlucky too.
ive had days where i played like 25 raids and died all of them
You can do everything right and the wrong person can just show up to fuck up your day.
True
if you start having a loss streak bring in low gear and just try to survuve the raid and avoid pvp
or take a break
Just get use to losing c4 armor. It's alright but it won't just let your out gear someone to death hardly ever.
You have to be honest and actually play smart since there are so many ammos that ignore the armor.
Yes heat has a good point. Scav a few raids or take minimal gear in.
"folding stock"
doesnt even fold
bring a pp-19 vityaz with a couple of mags and just try loot some stuff and leave
the kit is super cheap
and a suppressor is only an extra 12k on flea
whats the key for taking the shortcut on customs?
ty
60k on flea
ty
Yeah I bring in minimal gear, try to just loot and leave. Tried waiting out the first 10 minutes of the raid too. But I guess at this point everything that can be said has been said. Maybe it's just poor luck some of the times. Thanks for the advice either way.
try headshot a scav and if you looted some stuff that would be enough xp
Scavs i have no issues with, scav runs I'm doing fine with too. Had a 600k scav run on customs lately. But for some reason I just have very poor luck with avoiding pvp when I'm playing with my main character
yea
customs is a very pvp heavy map
cos its very linear
try learning a new map
like reserve or interchange
reserve very good for expensive loot
New to Reserve Map? Learn the extracts, loot areas, danger areas and tips for the map to help navigate your way to successful raids in the future! With new maps and cheeky spots!
Map - https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/a/a4/ReserveSpawnMap3d.png?versio...
Is interchange really less pvp heavy than customs?
depends where you go
its a big square
customs is a big rectangle so no matter where you spawn on customs you are more than likely gonna run into someone running the other way
Interchange is more rat infested
Yeah makes sense
More people camping areas and holding down areas.
So reserve would be a good 2nd map to learn?
for loot
yes
guns money ammo etc very good
interchange is pretty much just barter items
and killa
reserve has raiders aswell who have very good gear
yes just try re installing it
can be a pain in the ass
took me a few trys to install it
ok thank you
np
if you get any of the errors just press the big button at bottom right no matter what it says
sometimes it will be reinstall or repair
just press it and eventually it workds
like after i finish installing the game it always resets the installment then says that error
ok
you might have to re install the launcher via the website if it happens again
so find bsg directory and run the uninstall program then go to the website and download launcher
ok
do you recommend reserve or interchange as my 2nd map to learn? @drifting kernel
i bought 7000 dollars just to get peacekeeper to LL2, are there any peacekeeper builds that i can spend that on now ;D?
i play customs only for now
@bold kernel do you want guns and ammo and stuff or barter items?
@wanton grove the mp5sd is a very good gun
I only have the standard edition so I cant really keep a lot of stuff
what lvl are you?
id say watch some vids on reserve learn where high value items are and hoard all the items you get while running reserve til you get to lvl 10 then sell it all on flea and buy cases
@wanton grove the mp5 isnt a 'very good' gun, it has a high rate of fire, and is fairly accuraet, but the ammo is fairly expensive that you need to kill PMCs
Ive been using my scav runs to bring 1-2 weapons (ak/SKS) and i sell the rest
its for beginner so its worth
you can also leg meta with any ammo and drop full gears
cook you up to play i can help you learn reserve for a bit
I cant play at the moment
ah all good
I cant hoard many items im almost out of space
try sell stuff if you dont use it i know it sounds obvious
@drifting kernel what region are you?
uk
mind if I add you?
so eu, would you be down for customs runs? im low level ofc
Lf help debut first task level 4 currently
ill follow up after i finished
the scav kill and shotguns 
yea

mashy you wanna dm and ill help you?
i need help pls pm me
Can anyone help me with some quests?
Yeah Iβm looking for those too, Iβve found 1 on a scav before I think
Just DM me
thats boosting
o it is
o ok srry i did not know thx for letting me know
np man
RMT and what gets flagged as RMT is still kind of a grey area
dropping a few cheap weapons, or a backpack with a gun and some ammo in it for a friend is not going to get you flagged for RMT
Dropping 5+ graphics cards, or a backpack full of ammo
a sicc case full of bitcoin
that's the type of shit that gets you flagged for RMT
@raven gazelle @merry bobcat
all good
And you can only hold like 175k
ye
how do i get peacekeepers rep out of the red i have spent enough with him but still cant unlock lvl 3 with him
can anyone help me go to jaegers shack on woods? I'm not familiar with the map and would like to get the quest done quickly
i mean how is your netcode so bad that people teleport back and forth when you fight them
jesus
I got tarkov recently, and have been using an sks. I want to try something automatic. I only have acces to lvl. 1 trader tho. any suggestions, or should I just stick with what I got
@wild musk i started recently too and in my opinion adar/ or any AK with good ammo and single-shot mode is the best way to go besides sks/mosin
mosin is pretty strong with good ammo
k
our recoil skills are not leveled up yet and its harder to play full auto guns
and you will lack mods from leveled up traders
looking for help with custom debut quest currently level 5 π
How often does prapor restock 7n31 when it goes out
Oh shit
And you cant craft them right ?
Ok good job
Nice man
i was stressed as fuck
The game will do that to you
Simply because one wrong move and it might be the end of that.
yeah, i just prayed that the ruaf roadblock extract will be there for me
Pretty sure its always there
idk i think i had times when it wasnt
But eventually it will happen where you will die in situations like that and you will just have to shrug it off but good job
yeah, i had to go there from gas station and pass by the building with chemistry classroom upstairs
i die often there
people just siege the building
and watch neighbourhood out of the windows
That ainβt a class itβs a crack house
xD
The tables up there have good med spawns btw if you ever need painkillers and stuff
yeaah i try not to go in there if i dont have a good spawn
And that Val is wack to be running a slick with no grip πΏ
Weird gamer hours
What level was he
im not good with grenades etc to clear that building
50~
duo with some lower lvl guy
Hmm odd
idk do i just sell that gear? i dont think im ready to run it ;D
Not sure why he didnβt atleast make his gun better with a 700k armor
Keep it
And use it when youβre ready
It venders for such a low price
whaat
It doesnβt vender for shit
i have flea already
Off a pmc you gotta use it or sell it for a measly 200k
yeah im gonna keep it, thanks for info
Yeah no worries
is the val gun worth vendoring or should i try to run it
its close combat full auto wep right?
Yes close combat
Probably the best gun in the game for close range fights
I would try it out at some point if I were you
hey can anyone help me with a file error?
#community-support would be the best place
ty
hey guys, this is my first day on tarkov, can i play with anyone?
anyone down to play? eu / na east, i reset my account so have some basic quests to do for exp till i hit lvl 10.
Are they any other cheap automatic rifles/smgs I can build that have good cheap ammo? I'm cool with spending anything under 600 rubles a round
Eh silencers for that/m4 ain't worth the bother. 80k for suppression is bs
Been running 7.62 aks pretty well but wanna branch out
Any AK tbh
just but a foregrip on it and youll shred
Already been running them, HK isn't too expensive.
I can't find a way to throw a foregrip on the akm/103 variants
Usually throw a Troy and aimpoint w suppressor and go go go
@stray copper B-10 handguard
or get that WASR handguard from Peacekeeper if you still want a wood finish
Will do! Hopefully it isn't too much more expensive than my current build, only spend about 80k building this setup
Wood is for sissys
Metal or bust
lol some people like the wood
Wood bad
Whats up
Wood being bad is whatβs up
DM me if need help getting rich quick
anybody willing to help out a newbie?
Eh silencers for that/m4 ain't worth the bother. 80k for suppression is bs
@stray copper what are you talking about? the 2nd best m4 suppressor is 40k including the adaptor, you can get a worse one for 30k
I big bad but have good pvp skills π
eh i don't mind i can seem to hold my own solo. Wanna squad up @real osprey
Yea can someone else squad up
Looking to team up with someone! I don't mind if you're a noob we can learn together!
so can anyone tell me how I'm supposed to build these god-tier guns everyone else seems to be running? Everything I've built is garbage, bullets don't hit where the sight shows, terrible recoil even with better grips, etc. Yet other people have lazer beams; they can 180 hip-fire and instkill me in one bullet. And I'm using BT rounds btw.
Any new players want to come do Shoreline runs feel free to join LFG Shoreline #3
@steel nova EU?
Lf help for custom scav kills Currently level 5
Lf help on just gearing up and doing quest kinda suck just need help learning the tricks to this game. Lvl 11 NA, also played for 3 months straight last wipe

are you holding breath when you shoot
yeah

@opaque garnet just use rpk
lfh just got the game na
can i bind breathing and shooting on left mouse button click that way it holds breath auto
yeah
@opaque garnet Google search tarkov meta builds
If you don't actually know what the builds are
But I suspect this question really means how do I make money for the meta builds.
And to answer that question I have a suggestion though by no means am I an expert. Take your cheapest gearset and go to Olli. Run in grab everything you can find run out and sell it.
anyone wanna tell me how good all the shit is i got from this reserve scav run lol, i have literally no clue but i believe its atleast partially decent
does the cheese method still work for strength?
there is a bunch of ways, hitting people legs, throwing grenades, walking around overweight
Depends on what method you are talking about. Sure you can weigh down yourself with a tank battery or shotgun shells. As far as going through the map, or using stims at the start, no.
how good is the vss and what is the best ammo for it?
Great close quarters to mid range gun. SPP / 7n12 BP
HK and VSSs are the meta currently in labs.
SP-6 isn't a bad choice either though.
ok thanks just need to get to level 10 so I cam get actual ammo for it now.
the mags for it are expensive
