got it as a scav spawn and just sprinted to extract
now I have 4 empty 10rd mags and no way to buy 9x39
Hey guys got the game a few days ago, I've been playing on customs and am wondering what is the next best map for me as a beginner
Are you looking to pvp or make money?
Interchange is a solid one though. Tons of the stuff you need for your hideout and its pretty safe if you stay away from the high traffic areas.
Ok I'll definitely check out interchange, thanks @ember pendant
anyone got tips on doing tarkov shooter pt 8?
always end up only finding one pmc
even tried using thermal at night lol
I've played reserve with a duo partner a tiny bit, and it seems like a really good starter map
lots of loot and its pretty compact, you'll get loot, pvp experience, and its easy to learn
@opaque garnet Their guns are good but consider their recoil control skill giving them 30%+ recoil control on their Pmc
My meta m4 and yours may be identical: but when I use it I have 30% less recoil ontop of whatever you have.
Keep shooting and playing, it is a grind
IDK why military batteries are so hard to find on reserve. I can find LEDX even eaier than this shitty quest
And yes, I know where they spawn on reserve; and ive done over 50 RB-ST without luck.
RB-ST yeah
also RB-GN RB-MP21/22/12
according to wiki
but rb-st where i got mine
lol, I check those along with RB-ST
50 runs that is nuts
I also check scav land area and the hangers.
I think they should look into spawn frequency because it is absurd that I can run Interchange or shoreline, find several LEDX in a night, but never found a military bat. on reserve. At this point I dont think it spawns
i have found more led x than miltary bats as well
i mean you actually look for led x tho only need like 1 bat and never look again
Oh wut, I’ve found so many military bats this wipe. Ledx’s are so elusive to me.
How do you guys work your weapon zeroing? Do you leave it at one distance and just judge how much more up or down you have to aim or do you try and change the zeroing to the distance you think the enemy is? Got kills with it on woods but I was having a lot of trouble landing headshots (hunter with pso)
i usually keep it on 100 meters dont put it higher than that unless you have a good scope i guess
What is the default zero value
@opaque garnet Just never fuck with it, just compensate for range manually
i was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers for starting
what is it for
guns dont do damage
the bullets do
having a fancy expensive gun doesnt mean anythign if you have bad bullets
thats what i though
you can kill someone with a terrible gun and great bullets
but not terrible bullets and a great gun
also use the maps @bold kernel https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs
there's 6 levels of armor, and each bullets only penetrates up to a certain level of armor
Id follow this on the wiki
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.
All the data displayed below is the produc...
^ so you know what bullets do what
to which amrs
there are other charts, I personally just use the wiki
The other charts are literally just the same as the wiki, but in worse
Dm me if you need help getting rich
Should I learn interchange or reserve? Ive only played customs so far
Interchange says 10-14 players, does that count scav players or just PMCs?
Just pmcs
thanks
Player scavs can be in theory as many as the game puts in
In theory
A reccomendation to any new sniper players... The 1P59 Scope is 12 or 13k roubles and is a 3x and a 10x variable zoom. Basically a cheap version of the voodo. Amazing for kitting out any sniper effectivly and cheaply. It's all I use and I'm almost lvl 43. Not including time on previous wipes.
@prime sapphire what can you slap it on?
how do i reply to this?
basically any gun planet theres a weaver mount and a dovetail mount for it
@stray copper pretty much everything excluding some SMGs and pistols for obvious reasons.
@prime sapphire when i alt right click it changes the colour and then the zoom, is there no way to just do the zoom?
my ctrl right click doesnt work 😦
maybe its a firing range bug, they are correctly bound in settings
@split nymph Unfortunatly no, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue once your used to it. Just feels weird at first.
The light on and off feature is nice but it could use a diff binding, the change sight isnt used in case you have a canted sight. So it can be a blessing in disquise but still feels weird.
hello guys , i need a short help : i am using the HAMR scoop for the first time but i didnt find my keybind in settings to switch to the upper scope
im not sure but try alt + rmb or ctrl + rmb
Is there going to be a wipe or something?
@loud tartan It will either be with Patch 13, end of year, or patch 12.9 if 13 is delayed. At this time the deployment of Unity 2019 has delayed the team a lot, so it's likely we are seeing 12.8 mid to end of this month and 12.9 (with a wipe) in mid novemebt
like in 2-3 monhts id say
Is there a vantage point from the Idea catwalk where you can see if power station exfil has been used or not?
Is 1200dpi considered too high for an fps? Most run with low dpi I think
Running Default .35 in-game sens
any tips on how to kill full geared players with shotguns and aks
and which maps to play
get good ammo @blazing heron
How does loot spawning work exactly? I saw stuff just spawn out of thin air in front of me a few times, so does it rely on the Perception skill? I'm mostly asking because people keep telling me to go to OLI to find Gas Analyzers and I've ran up and down the whole thing three times now and got nothing
Is there a vantage point from the Idea catwalk where you can see if power station exfil has been used or not?
@twilit spindle played Interchange thousands of times. Did not know there was a catwalk...
dunno if catwalk is the right word,thats what I call it, you might call it a loading dock.
Ah okay....
@teal wave best guess is it all spawns in at start of raid. What you are most likely seeing is object cuilling. That is not rendering objects when you should not be seeing them. Since you are looking in that direction is may be more of a LOD? issue. Essentially reducing quality of what you are looking at, at range to reduce computer loads.
All guessing though
So they do just spawn at the beginning of the raid and no amount of time is going to respawn them? Alright that actually saves me a lot of time
any tips on how to kill full geared players with shotguns and aks
@blazing heron AKs, just shoot them. BS/7N39 is great ammo and will shred anything in a few hits, IF the shot placement is good.
Shotguns are rougher. I just unload on them and hope for the best. Generally I am using 8.5mm buck and hoping for a face shot. If not that then I tend to kill via arms. Leg meta can work if you have a clean shot at short range though. I just don't like doing that.
can someone help me out with gunsmith part 1 please? I did a scav run and I have a mp133. Im lvl 5
what exactly did you need help with?
@bold kernel you need raptor handle the custom foregrip with a vpg foregrip on it and a blue laser
Sicc case for every map? Or should I use a Docs case for certain ones

thank you
hey all anyone looking to learn interchange or shoreline pm me im doing a stream on helping level 10s and up 🙂
What percentage chance is it to get a ledx in Ultra medical store?
About 1/3 chance
Why tf is every ammo i get on a scav just plain shit
I just hit a guy like 6 times in the chest again
To get one tapped
hey, need a sherp to help me with some quests
@runic spear Do !sherpa there's a discord for the sherpa's specifically
@ebon sage well scaving is no risk so yeah usually you get crazy ammo just check what ammo you have when you load in sometimes you spawn with pretty good ammo. If you have crap ammo face taps only thing thats ganna work if they are geared/no face mask if you have good ammo its kore forgiving honestly cause then your chest taps actually do something
need help making money looking to run reserve dm me also need help learning the map etc etc
Oh shit yeah I should check at the start shouldn’t I lol
howcome the fee when selling sugar is 50k when the price is 70k. Is the fact that sugar is used up a factor here?
Any tips for punisher part 3? scav kills on customs with aks74u. The gun is kinda garbage even with decent rounds but more importantly I can never find scavs. I'll stumble across pmcs but when i find ai they're all already dead
Only use single fire
As far as finding the scavs, you just have to rotate between their spawns.
Sucks that customs is filled with sweatys constantly. I can hear their crazy guns and grenades in the distance but they're never at the spawns i go to
hit up construction, new gas, old gas, bus stop, dorms, checkpoint, etc.
yes, dorms is the place
they go everywhere else now it seems
Still a lot of scavs can spawn there
as well*
if you are a new player
and you go dorms, you can shoot 60 bullets at a dude and he will just flip you off
Not really the point here, but sure. You'll find the scavs as long as you rotate to those places
Yea doesnt matter, chads will find me wherever i hide, and scavs seem to have way better eyes than i do
ears too for that matter
I'm getting sick of this. If I go slow and sneaky everything is dead and/or gone before I get there. If I run every pmc and scav seems to hear me and guns me down. And learning the map doesn't seem to matter as I get killed from a new spot or angle every raid.
is there a place to find pestily plague mask
is there anyone who can show me through a full raid? i normally get schwacked by some kid with an op setup... perks of starting way into wipe i guess
@opaque garnet Welcome to Tarkov
mate im level 15 and still struggle to get through a full raid
28 here, same lol
im level 8, and im still trying to figure out what to do
just playing as a rat right now
i need a group tho
not really
The problem is learning the map for me, everything else isn't bad
Anyone wanna do a loot run on customs, anywhere from 500k to mil each raid no kills
I need someone to teach me the game
I got a little bit ago and I still don’t know how to do a lot of things
i need someone to teach me what to sell in my inventory
because i run into storage problems 24/7
lol
Figure out what you want to keep, what you need to keep, what sells for a lot on the market and what you can sell to traders.
There is a market website for tarkov online if you dont have flea yet
i have it
And some rarer items you should keep for found in raid quests
how well would the vepr (.336 ap) work at sniping if i put a high powered scope on it
Can someone help me with mechanic pt 2 quest?
@heavy oasis well, the 366 AP round travels quite slow so it would have a big bullet drop
@heavy oasis well, the 366 AP round travels quite slow so it would have a big bullet drop
@analog fulcrum actually the bullet drop on the .366 ap was changed
how do u do punisher 2 specifically the aks pt lock for the zenit if u cant buy on flea?
the bullet weight used to 0.55 grams
now its 0.19
so its has way less drop than it used to
how do u do punisher 2 specifically the aks pt lock for the zenit if u cant buy on flea?
@scenic meteor the PT locks are also available from skier
skier needs to be lvl 2 and im new, so dont have skier 2
then get skier lvl 2 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
its def not hard
i mean if u got to punisher prett quickly u should be able to get skier 2
also skier 2 has alot of worthwhile attachements for budget guns
rgr
You want skier mechanic and peacekeeper on level 4
Basically do a few questlines and gunsmith to some extent and thats enough
where can I find the short grip thing for the MP-133 to be able to finish gunsmith pt 1
hm alright
How's Tarkov treating you?
Hi all. New here. Looking at getting back into tarkov but all my mates are playing warzone welp
Didn't know people still played that
I thought the age limit was 12 but obvs not
Been running solos but been getting my arse kicked all day
How long have you played Tarkov for?
Bought the game in March and played a fair bit until last wipe. Im level 18 this wipe so far
Sorry May I got the game
Ive got a decent aim but I dont know the spawns and my map rotation is awful so I end up out of position most of the time. Need to put more hours in I guess
what region
EU
Damn, only one I cant really play XD
Yeah ill pop my head in the LFG channel. What region are you @zealous tendon
I am from NZ, but can play Seattle
160 I think
but you dont want to go on a server over about 145 otherwise the spikes will get you kicked
Yeah thats what i heard 252 seattle lol
Im just playing some offline to get the gunplay down. Need to lose my gear fear hahah
What's the best way to push from lvl 30-40 as a not confident pvper
Ok
Noob question, but do AI scavs respawn during raids ?
Yeah, the Scavs that spawn are either AI or player-controller - the AI ones talk every few seconds so you can notice them
My own question - when a quest says "Find 2 [object] in raid" do I need to find 2 objects in the SAME raid or can it be 1 object in 2 different raids?
2 different raids
u can craft the items in ur hideout and it counts as found in raid
Alright thanks, I did that with the first Therapist quest so I suppose it'd work
if you have the ability to craft that specific item of course
It's the Gas Analyzer quest so can't do that unforunately
But now I know where they spawn, I just need to get lucky enough to find 'em
Might as well do hatchling runs and store 'em in the container when I find any
remember to stay in the raid for about 10 minutes or get 600xp
I'd be lucky to make it to the exit TBH
if not, the item wont get found in raid status
Alright, I'll park down somewhere safe
how do i move the idscord voice chat?
you could do a scav run and try to find them, still found in raid with scavs
if you find it hard to survive, you'd spawn in after half of the pmc's are killed or have extracted probably
Anytime I find the item on a Scav run I get shot down near the exit, I'm not kidding - it happened three times in a row
im still fairly new to the game, but i have never been shot near extract
never been extracted camped either
also have the possibility to spawn with them as a scav
Happened to me quite a few times now, granted it's probably my fault for picking the Emercom extract every time I try to leave Interchange because it's the one I can safely localize but still
i havent really played interchange yet
theres usually just 2 extracts there ppl go to, so a higher chance of being shot down as ur extracting i guess
https://prnt.sc/ubsssm what's this key for
Lf help with scav kills on custom and turning in mp133 level 6 Na
https://prnt.sc/ubsssm what's this key for
@tranquil isle This key has no usage. Room 309 is always unlocked!
oh ok, why is there even a key then?
Maybe the person who was in that room before, often locked it. Now he forgot it with the door open. 🙂 🙂
Maybe it's going to be useful in some later update but for now I think you can safely sell it
Need a solid teacher to get me going. Customs, lvl 5
level 5 here. been playing solo for a bit today but would be dope to get someone who knows what theyre doing to play with for a bit
Fuel conds can be only found in raid or on scavs right ?
@fiery latch Yah, usually you can find them near generators in interchange.
...Does the game auto-kill you if you don't move for a certain period of time? I parked myself in a safe spot to the the Gas Analyzer to be marked down as Found In Raid (so about 10 minutes) and when I came back I was dead with no indicator of what killed me
probably no energy/food
Yeah that makes sense
I was trying to run this fucking quest for two hours and ran out of food items in my storage
come do a scav run with me @teal wave chit chat 3 and we will probs find your gas analyzer
It's 2 AM right now, I'm heading to sleep
np
But thanks for the offer
goodluck :D
just started playing. Need sherpa help. Got shit for loot,lol

Whats the easiest way to get a bleed or gain vitality? need almost 1 full level for hideout..
Run pmc factory lol.
You’ll get it in no time.
Or have your mate shoot your arm (you can heal this with an AI-2) until you get a bleed.
ok ty
do eating food still counts as a "stimulant" for the scav kills when having a stimulant effect?
not melodonin?
aight thanks
Taking new guys on Shoreline Runs VC "Shoreline #3" NA preferred only.
can someone tell me how to get pestily mask the quickest?
farm night scav
Hey, I'm brand new to eft. Would anyone be able to help me out any? I'm kinda lost
sure ill dm 🙂
@spice otter does it have to be night time scavs?
No, you can get them at any time.
I found the pestily plague mask twice in a day when I was on interchange
Lol, I found 8 cans of Dr. Lupos coffee beans that week
i just need that and a rooster
i had a pestily mask earlier on but idk what happened with it
omfg, im so fucking sick of these fucking super scavs and their superhuman accuracy
such fucking bullshit
Anyone have any suggestions for dealing with these op fucks?
Sick and tired of spending all this time and energy getting a decent setup just to lose it in the first minute because some ridiculous bullshit
kinda hard in a place in like dorms. Also it's kinda hard with all the trees and stuff in the way, but if they see one pixel of me they can lock on and one-tap me
in dorms only tip really is bring nades and either blind fire or try quick peak it and if you are out in the open move to cover before trying to take them out
Did u die to scavs with zavodskoy in their name? Those dudes r ridiculous
Reshala Guards
^
which one
pestily
It's such a pain to re-buy all that gear over and over just to die and lose it immediately
yeah feels bad
im no where near kappa but all i need is shroud mask
im just too trash to lvl up and do my other quests lmaooo
anyone down for some raids
how is one supposed to get anywhere when i just get 1 tapped by everything even with armor and i cant get any gear to compete at all. i dont even really have a problem getting money but cant even get xp or quests done because every time i just get 1 tapped no matter where i get hit
hm i felt the same when im doing quests and such, i think its just a lot harder especcialy since its late into the wipe and people have the best gear and ammo, but what i found that works is when im doing a quest, try and find a route that doesnt have much activity
i try and stay out of the way of gunfights, or get in and out of where i need to be
i had a dude run to my spawn in the first 30 seconds and 1 tap me and thats bs
another good way is playing with a squad
hmm did you spawn late? i know some spawns on customs have that issue that if you spawn late you are screwed
its hard not to when i have to farm scavs on customs and somehow find 2 shotguns that are incredibly rare and no i spawned at beginning
im not trying to complain too much but its just so hard top even get gud when i cant even pen armor or shoot back lol
yeah i understand what you mean, a thing that i found thats kinda cheese but i run all my scavs on factory. Once you get the map down its really easy to just spawn in and run to the exit with the gear
yeah
i know what you mean
its also because its super late into wipe
and people can run best armour and ammo at no expense
i just want to be able to get stuff besides mosin or sks XD ive seen alot of stuff get good in the game when your lv10+
try running some aks with attachements you can get from the level 1 traders and such
im close to level 10 also
basically i just wanna get level 10 then make cool guns and run cool armour in raid
everything before level 10 is just heavy grind
on quests and kills
is it worth to insure my stuff? it just seems like a waste because ive yet to get anything back lol
i feel u though that flea market op
ive found that headsets, helmets, and sometimes backpacks and rigs i get back from refund
most of the time my gun is stripped or not returned
its all up to you
what you can do is if you want a better chance of getting the item from insurance just drop it in some corner somewhere no one will find it lol
and mags also
at least its easy to get money because interchange rules
haha yeah
i play ok on that map but customs is always nuts
true especially after expanding the middle customs is always crazy
either at red warehouse or dorms
i avoid construction heavily
yeah unless i have a task or something i generally just will loot caches and get out
only times im on customs is for tasks usually
so whats the big deal with labs i have a card but can only use it once?
is it just lots of high tier loot?
So in my hideout, my workbench is locked... anyway to fix that because I don’t think there’s any requirements for it.
so whats the big deal with labs i have a card but can only use it once?
@tender crow yeah the entry keycard gets used when you spawn into labs
So in my hideout, my workbench is locked... anyway to fix that because I don’t think there’s any requirements for it.
@median marsh send a screenshot? im not sure what you mean
@static turret actually figured it out. thanks man!
all good :)
any low level want to learn the splinter cell ways come to beginners assitance for some night shoreline no nvg no flashlight
whats good nvg for reserve
flashlight is best nvg for reserve
idk the vulcan nightscope I guess
its super clear
if not that then run cheap nvgs
i like the blue armasight one, but you cant use a helmet with it
Bored teaching how to get rich easy and fast DM me
need help in dorms i am new
don't go dorms if you are new 
Hello! Im looking for shoreline/customs gameplay i need help to earn cash
im new
@fast rivet too bad like 50% of the quests require you to go there huh?
is 3 minute load time normal?
oh absolutely turbo, but too bad every camper in the game goes there huh?
on a HDD? Yes
campers arent such a big issue in my experience, its the people who rush it @fast rivet
if you wait about 10-15 minutes before entering dorms, its usually looted and deserted
i go there last and there 3 dudes jerking each other off in a bathroom 
what do you need help with specifically
and which region are you
money isnt everything @frigid sapphire
yes but u do need it lol
finally learned how to mod weapons for recoil and the game is a different game now
Can someone help me with Delivery from the past? I've never played factory and Im scared of doing it alone, I already have the secure case
Yeah that's why I wanted some help
Ok just making sure in case you feel the urge to go alone if no one accepts
Bored teaching how to get rich easy and fast DM me
Teaching new players the basics of the game. DM if interested. (NA)
If you're leveling up mastery with a certain gun like an ak74 do you progress the same with it's variants? Like if you mostly use a 74N and level up your experience with it and then pick up a different 74 type do you have the same xp with that?
does it count to jaegers quest if i kill my teammate?
@fringe dragon Yes it does. You can see that by checking your mastery skills. They should all be the same.
is there anyone that could help me earn money
im pretty new at the game and i have a hard time getting money
Something seems wrong with tarkov, my view is all slightly zoomed in but the UI is fine. It's like I'm always aiming down scope or something. Not sure how to fix it
check ur fov
ooo i think that was it. Does it change or reset randomly? Never had this happen before
not that im aware of
Grinding shoreline, anyone wanna come with? NA
@undone bloom you can queue snipe each other if you select some obscure server and meet up to do quests
Who ever needs help message me
@frigid sapphire do you have the maps link? It's harder finding loot without it when you're new
@opaque garnet it's most likely some sort of bug. I get a bug where the game music just unmutes itself out of nowhere despite still being set at 0. So I just go into sound and simply click save, and the music goes off again.
So i placed the document case for prapor in factory but died, I came back into custom but the doc case is not there? Is this a glitch?
no you already placed it in factory, now you just gotta extracc from factory
AH ok thx dude
@drifting jolt yes i do, i just get killed by geared players
someone wanna help me on some money runs?
Someone wanna help me learn the maps and how to play?
Looking to learn and explore this game with someone new to game but have a good understanding of basics
@frigid sapphire traverse the map with more diligence. Only run when you're out in the open. Sneak bush to bush. Listen a lot. Make sure you're not crossing huge open areas.
@pallid dawn learning the maps solo is usually preferred. Other players are just going to run you around, and you won't remember the terrain as much. You need to take your time and explore the maps, possibly in offline mode.
Is VSS a decent option for sniping? It seems to deal good damage but when I was using it for Scav hunting, the bullets seemed to drop off extremely quickly, then again I only had access to 9x39 SP-5
bro i just played a few matches, lost a ton of shit and i don’t know what to do, i should’ve looked crap up before playing 😂😂
Anyone looking to teach a newbie?
bro just do scav runs
@raven gazelle you wanna play?
playing with my other friends rn
all good
hello im new to the game
hello
do you wanna play
cant rn
anyone willing to run shoreline with me and help me make money? please i fucking suck and i die by geared groups
or any other map to earn money
@frigid sapphire do you have good keys for shoreline?
just need to earn money not tryna loose more, we will probally die, like nothing against you just not tying to loose more money than i have
@teal wave do not use the vss for sniping, like at all.
The bullets travel incredibly slow and drop incredibly fast.
So what is it good for exactly? I guess for indoor fighting?
yes idk which is better vss or as val but they are very expensive guns to run
only because the fire rate is so high for the cost of the ammo
prefer the vss. with val i cant hit shit
if you build them right tho the recoil is so good
how can i take a screen shot od a gun build?
of
print screen
and then paste?
yes
ty
Yo so couple days ago someone had posted a pic for there woods cache run for new players dose anyone have that pic or or something close?
YEa one sec @vestal wedge Imma dm you
Thank you
this is all you have to do if you want to win
use this guide
once you reach step 3 you will see a difference
Does anyone have a guide on what items to sell to what traders?
think anyone can help me with some tips and crap? i’m a newbie and videos aren’t helping too much.
or can someone play along with me?
The biggest tip i can give is to pick one map and run SCAV untill you know it off by heart then keep to the less busy places to build up some cash till you can afford some decent gear then run some of the easier quests, thats what ive been doing
its a very slow slogg
offline mode is a great way to learn maps stress free
you move 2 paces forward and 400 back sometimes but you just got to pick yourself up and go agin
there's no progress to be made or lost, but knowledge is the best resource in this game
you can #pvp-lfg it, or

¯_(ツ)_/¯
Literally requested for 5 different ones, 1 week intervals, have yet to hear from any
So I spent my own time to learn the game
damn
ive never played before if anyone would help it would be much appreciated
interesting
i might jus run around with a knife lol
mostly just trash at spotting people, knowing how people move around, and shooting in general lol
I will be home in like 30? I can probably try to explain everything
knife only really puts you at a ddisadvantage
Yep
if you're gonna run PMC, at least run with a pistol or use the SKS
@fiery latch i lost most my stuff already from a disconnect once but claims i quit so lolll i’d rather get to know maps and die then bring stuff with me
Unless you have a route that you follow or know what you’re doing running around with just a knife is pretty harsh
really, a really basic loadout would be PACA, SKS, painkillers, and AI-2/Car First Aid
paca for scavs preventing one tap thoraxes
but, you do you if you can avoid being shot
yeah, but pre L10s dont have access to anything better than a paca
you got me
ah alright
I either get head eyes or save onebullet but just die after
I just wear a balaclava and a ushanka
I will wear a helmet if im running a juicy gear but if ts like
Some under modded ak, shotgun or something less than 100k, I just put on a hat, balaclava and maybe com tacs
Yeah, helmets are unncessary if you're not protecting a good kit
@fiery latch Im sorry if you had a tough time with sherpas, but sometimes you have to be patient. There's more than 10x the amount of requests than us, on top of that, we're just volunteers we have IRL priorities too. One of the best ways to get in contact with us is joining our discord since we have sherpas looking through there frequently.
I seek to become a sherpa after I am confident that I can teach someone everything they need to know.
someday.
and sometimes its not our fault, some people put their discords wrong and there's very little we can do
waow, ap20 went UP
can anyone help me just got the game am really bad

1,It's Po...
use these links @high coral @buoyant dock one is the maps, the other is the bullet guide... guns dont do damage in tarkov, the bullets do
im level four and i just extraed with a vss should i keep it or sell it?
sell
anyone want to do some runs with me
@buoyant dock it's legitimately better to do your first bunch of runs by yourself
customs is the map you wanna start on
ok
it's got the best mix of what you'll experience across the other maps
some urban, some woods, some close combat some long range engagements
you can always do 'offline raids' so you dont lose anything.. anything you take into offline raids wont be lost, even if you die or use it
@buoyant dock interchange is a really easy map i recomed it i just exracted with a vss there
@buoyant dock it's easy if you dont get lost easily, but once you learn it it's great
When I started I did scav runs on interchange when up and some offline pmc customs a few times till I knew way around
thank you guys
The ground caches are also a pretty nice thing to learn
Wow, this is some bullshit. 12 hits, not even 300 damage. wtf, armor piercing bullshit
Propital or etg ?
Propital
Propital is better ?
What i use
It gives you a tunnel effect
I guess just counter with pain killer s?
And then what about tremor ?
hit count 8 on a scav with the akm vpo
still not a kill
from about 5 feet away i might add
epic i love it
I've gotten fucked twice in two raids today in a similar style
Yea they can one or two shot me through armor and a helm
fucking horseshit, love losing 100k's of roubles to bullshit
So stupid that I have to do every task as pistoling or hatchling so that I don't waste money on gear, seems kinda counter-intuitive
Is a vss good stock?
Hell yeah. It slaps if you use good ammo with it.
is sp6 good ammo? i have prapor lvl 3
@opaque garnet if your armor isnt level 6, there are a bunch ammos that will pen the armor you are wearing
hit count 8 on a scav with the akm vpo
@silver sparrow Arm best armour. tier 6 armour and repairable in raid
is sp6 good ammo? i have prapor lvl 3
@shut pelican sp-6 requires 1 less bullet than spp to kill on tier 6 armour I believe
any ammos not worth keeping here?
all of those work, except maybe the 762 ps
Yep
Is 7.62 ps bad?
i use that in sks so
I can’t afford BP every raid
If you could I would recommend upgrading to m855a1
it's not great
Instead of m856a1
it's good for mid-tier PMCs but not chads
aight
762 PS will kill chads, it'll just take a few extra bullets than you might live through
yeah im just tryna get rid of shit for money coz im poor af
I would just use them then
All good ammo
If you dont want them, its better to just use them
can anyone help me with Database APart 1 i never play interchange its the quest with oli goshan idea manifests
That one is a pretty hard one, I would recommended getting 2 first then extracting or go with like a 3 man
I had some troubles getting it
Also a scary map
going in right now
Its just too dark
is vss and as val worth vendoring if im not confident i can consistently survivew with good gear?
nah, just raise your monitor's gamma
Too many random rats sitting in a corner sniping or waiting to kill
it makes the game wayyy brighter
I can help you @ocean wigeon
@wanton grove it's not going to hurt per sae
because like, a decent ak-74 build is already good for me
and this opened the doors to me killing some higher levels pmcs on customs
the ammo is just rather expensive for vss and vals
yeah so ill just vendor that
you go through a lot of it too
thanks
what about armor, is it worth going lvl5 gzhel-k or everything below lvl6 sucks/
@real vapor sweet i
level 5 is decent, will save you a fair amount of time @wanton grove
level 4 is good scav protection
and midtier PMC
I just wear trooper ushanka
oh and about the helmet
do you getr the stunned effect if you got hit in the helmet but not killed?
i think so?
i picked up the lvl4 helmet from peacekeeper and it already saved me like 2/3 times
You got lucky then
yes
Most of the time I just get head eyes or pen
it'll save you from non-chads
Dorms is ok fun
sure man, if you want to die out of heart attack
first met rashala there
with his boys
You get used to
Can you group as scavs?
this game is a large dose of adrenaline for me dude ;D
Any answers?
Do you spawn together?
Oh god.
Like you will spawn relatively close
Like not across the map
But you just gotta be careful
Because you do spawn at a good 3-5 second run distance
pmc's spawn the same way?
Alright. it's also taking a long time to load. Are we waiting to be spawned at a certian time?
@wanton grove I have averaged over 9 hours a day for the 71 days ive owned the game lol
Unless one has a bad computer or wifi connection, spawns in late and his friend moves
Nah me and my friend have been waiting for like 11 mins now.
Waiting for what ?
@sage plover cancel after 4 or 5 minutes, always
@drifting jolt thanks for the chat, gonna go learn interchange now
Yeah
@wanton grove PM me directly if you need help or i can run it with you if youd like
Best way is jsut to run around in offline raid @wanton grove
r u eu or na?
how is the server not laggy for you ;D
i am Polish, so next to germany
yep, i doubt the latency will be good xD
For me its just 100-120 ping
Well good lucky then!
my bing hovers around kick level with my german buddy, so id rather not risk it 😦
ping** lolz
No matter what region, usually past the evening time for me is a gamble because my ping gets exceptionally bad
Simply because I am far from my router
So the connection isnt as strong
Where are you from and what do you wish to learn @bold kernel
People, how do I find the extraction point?
I swear I'm gonna cry if I end up MIA again lmao
Not new, just new since the wipe
@bold kernel What does this even mean
Bored showing people how to make Easy $$$. Dm me if you want to get rich.
@tardy spindle map?
@neon root Hey, sorry, another guy was helping me, I'm still in the call with him. Thanks though!
what are ir floodlights good for? I see people using them but they seem useless
@minor pendant i believe it helps stop people from seeing you with thermal
Never been to labs, dont plan on going this wipe. I was wondering though apart from the ledxs and the rarer spawns, majority of the loot is stims right ?
they're working on that
Just watching lvndmark and he literally just died to a hacker
lol
Twice in a row
Also if I make a preset and the next wipe happens, do I lose the preset ?
dont think so
Ok nice
since you save it, i think the file it's saved in isnt wiped
fucking rain 4 raids in a row... ugh
Im just joking with ya
anyone have advice on playing resort? with good spawns i seem to do alright rushing there asap and posting up in a room while waiting for footsteps taking it slow. i dont know what to do though when i get a bad/late spawn
^
or go super super late raid
Yeah but at that point anything good that is left over is not worth
Well of course then
Going late is the safest yet boring option
I usually just pray I spawn somewhere good and run in and out
that's about the usual
that's physical so id assume, unless they classify it as mental
lookk at the skills tab...
?
lol
kk
Unless its really usefull ?
I can get bitcoin 3
if you dont upgrade everything else you wont get to bitcoin 3
oh ok then fuck it i guess..
My solar power is 30 min away from finishing
kk
Then I can upgrade my bitcoin
oh is that the air filter one?
yeah, i dont really use it either
i guess rich rich rich8 players can
i mean i can afford
but i dont see the point
What extremely stupid thing am I doing to make my character skid on the ground every time I sprint? Its bugging me so much
well the bonuses of getting the skills to level 51 is nice
youre hitting crouch to stop
i think...
that might be it, i do that all the time in Rising storm..fuck 😄
I dunno
My endurance is already level 31
I mean not much longer till max
So i dunno
Its 10k for it
im clearly owning myself with it, it takes way longer to get the gun up whenI do it
Im not that that rich
Basically 1 mill + to get my skill up faster
Not really useful skill but can be helpful so Ill save it for last
hey anyone wanna help a new guy
@spark pine you can rebind you sprint to continuous or just press shift again when you want to stop sprinting before doing anything(crouching or aiming etc)
@distant yew whatcha need?
hey anyone wanna help a new guy
@distant yew Tons of people with guides, vertias, tweak, some good pvp videos like lvndmark, anton
I dunno
time for day 4 of the hunt for pestily mask
@ocean sequoia thank you. I went in on a scav run and tried to see what I was doing and it seems it will do the skid every time you just stop moving in any direction before clicking sprint again, which is definitely a habit of mine, oops. I did have continuous sprint on, maybe i should click it off to not fuck myself
how do i extract 😂😂
@west reef You have to get to an extraction point
how do i know where they are?
I find it helpful to use maps
there’s maps in game?
but do you interact with the extraction point?
you just stand in the area of it
it will tell you that you are in an extraction zone and a counter will start
okay so maps.. got it
and if you play as the dude on the left do you get the stuff you extract with or no?
yup
if you use the scav and extract will you get to take that loadout with you and put it into your inventory
ah alright!
@west reef you dont get player exp, and cant complete quests as a scav, but you get everything you take out
(well you can find things in raid for quests as a scav but thats it)
okay cause i just started the game lmao
obviously lol
no worries most of us are new to it as well
welcome, prepare to get wrecked for a while
probably ai scavs you killed
probably
If you have any questions you can PM me
okay
So this is kinda dumb but I feel like I'm missing out on a part of the game. When I'm trying to do certain tasks (placing wifi cameras atm) I can't go in fully geared because 99% of the time I'm going to die. So I go in either with zero gear or with maybe a pistol, then run it over and over until I 'brute force' the task. Am I doing it wrong? lol
essentially
it depends on how much money you have
if you have enough money
always going in geared is going to be more profitable
but if u attempted 5 times
and still lost all ur gear sets
then u should try going in naked to the map u couldnt place the camera
but honestly its all playstyle
and always try to avoid all pvp
Because if u wait till the last 15 minutes of a raid
u can place the camera no problem
so i dont see why you wouldnt go geared
what map is it
Yea, I've got a bunch of stuff I need to do on Interchange atm. I try to avoid pvp at all costs but sometimes you can't, especially when you've got a pissy scav giving away your position lol.
he prob tryna place em at kiba or docks of woods
yeah but most traffic'd areas
just wait till last 20 minutes of raid
gotta wait till they loot it
players would leave by then
minibuses, wifi camera, chemical containers and books
and scavs spawn in at 15 usually
minibusses are all outside and underground
easy
wifi camera do within 25 - 20 minute mark
chem containers is just the med station
books is manifest?
I mean, the first try I got one bus done but when i got into the parking garage i got sniped in the face by ai. They seem to have better eyes than i do
Nah the clothier books
No yea but I can never see them. just a few pixels in the dark
if u are in daytime ur settings might be fucked
are u EOD?
ya try to hit each one as a naked lol
2 makers a wifi camera
and then do the books later i think
yea ive got the markers and camera in my secure. Gonna try to find a bush to hide in for 20 minutes lol
Any new guys wanna come do scav runs shoreline? PM me, Dms are open
do u have postfx settings on
I didn't, just turned it on now but all I've done so far is increase brightness by 10
@shut pelican fuck yeah i do
dont use those, everyone should adjust them to their own liking
theres the visualize option so you can mess with the sliders without saving the changes
Everyone's monitors and lights in room are different
I don't understand how these people see me so easily. Sitting in a dark corner out of the way and I got shot from across the parking garage. Well that's one more bus and I only lost an mp-133 and bank rig
I just can't compete with these million dollar kits, even sat for 15+ minutes before going in and they were still in the garage
@opaque garnet nightvision, thermal scope... good eyesight
You dont have to compete with million dollar kits
you just have to play smarter
well that was kinda fun. went in fully naked found an ak in a stash. got lucky and killed some chad with it but then got naded by his friend. And i got the last minibus so i'm counting that one as a win lol
killing that chad was a win
I'm trying to do the "Delivery from the past" quest but can't find the keys can anyone help?
anyone here for assistance
@prisma bloom is that the one that you have to get the documents from the office in customs? cause that key is just randomly in SCAVs or jacets
I'm trying to do the "Delivery from the past" quest but can't find the keys can anyone help?
@prisma bloom Buy it from the flea market?
doubt he has flea yet
true
@prisma bloom what level are you?
went in zabralo + altyn + m2 sword + raid backpack and melee'd some poor naked SKS man; a naked mosin man got me
consider my gear donated
True pain on a hatchling run
Just don't be a hatchling
Why do you have cigs?
if someone wants HELP to someone new ill be in duo 3
@distant yew You new? Sorry Im confused by your statement
yes sorry
Ur good
@hushed bone join 3man 10 if you want to help
Hey can anyone try to help learn this game?
Ok gimme like 5 mins
@hushed bone I don't know, just picked them up out of Jager Caches to fill space for time being? I don't think cigs are good by any means
Nah, They arent even any real money lol
I know, they are not worth even picking up. I died that run anyways, killed a scav and went back for kit only to die
@tropic fulcrum it says the channel is full can we go to like quad #6?
I don't need assistance but anytime if someone wants an extra teammate, I would like to squad eventually even tho I am new/bad
@last vector you down to run?
@hollow hazel sure
what call you you want to go in?
Wanna just go in 2 Man #2 ?
sure
does anyone have some tips for me? I just picked up tarkov today and i have been watching a lot of videos about it in the past couple weeks
I'd like to if Phil was down
its fine I'm in a pmc customs run rn
aight we died to a 4 man pmc team headglitching over a ridge
we are done
were still in
just meet us in 4 man 7
I'm praying for a grenade just to end you guys Ella ngl
Mind if we scav again before you get out? Our cooldowns are about done lol
go on another scav
were taking our time trying to get the most out we got alot already
Ella what servers are you on?
Anyone wanna do quests? I'm lvl 14
my hamr sight is not switching scopes help
@prime nova
I strongly assume you didnt add a Deltapoint Reddot Scope on your HAMR
Dont worry.
It happens :)
lmao ya first time fully modding a gun
Hamr is a bit odd in this, as it has the frame which looks like it already has a scope, but it is literally just that.
An empty frame.
You arent the first with that issur here
yeah
quests are hard
what region
someone wanna help me kill sanitar for a quest
uh anyone wanna help with interchange, reserve or customs runs? I'm lv5 65h played lol
looking for quest / hideout items mostly but a few guns could be nice too
These scavs really have aim bot huh
They target you sometimes at little longer ranges and shoot through bushes
otherwise they are pretty harmless
Or the signs on interchange mid 😂
Yeah the bushes on the little walls are the worst as well
They hack but Nikita doesn’t ban 😂
@bold kernel Do you still need help and if you do, what region are you?
you guys know the diminishing returns for the search skill? when it starts?
someone told me to loot goshan registers to level fast
but idk how many will start giving like no points
For the debut task do i just sell the shotguns to him?
pls dont tell me u sold them
so i need to get 5 scav kills again
no i didnt sell
ye
have to kill scavs
u have to kill scavs
shotguns can still be turned in
yeah
i dont even want to quest tbh lol
im just gonna search someone who can make me a small sicc xd
Jaeger 3 isnt that hard to hit
if u start that late into wipe questing is a pain
plus questing makes things cheaper like ammo and stuff
i just started this game today so im completely new
cause traders can be cheaper for some things
and not having fleamarket at lvl 5 is the worst thing
im slowly crawling to lvl 10 and i hate it
oh, if you're not 10 should def quest then lol
no
It'll be fast
