[celest condor]

GPU spawns in Interchange. Texho, Techlight, Rasmussen, German, MES, TTS, IDEA, Power station. Those are the places I have found them. Not including in the odd computer.

[warm prism]

nah the chad helm is the jeta space helmet

[brave wagon]

much better explanation ty smurf

[celest condor]

NP, I have spent way too much time in Interchange. 🙂

[brave wagon]

I forgot they can spawn in emercom medical

even though I found one there the other day

goes to show how much I dont play IC 😉

[languid flare]

I found a GPU in that one red car in storage in Customs

[raw zenith]

@languid flare ha ha so did I mate!!! i literally sprinted to the nearest exit!! ha ha

[languid flare]

Nah, just put it in my container and finished the raid normally.
I was with people and I got 50/50 BTC xD

[modest pagoda]

[distant obsidian]

Is it profitable to craft lucky scav junkboxes?

[modest pagoda]

what are the neck protection addons for the heavy helmets called

[raw zenith]

lies........

[drifting jolt]

@distant obsidian umm if you have some of the items already then yes... rule of thumb if it takes a bunch of items to make somehting and you have a bunch of them already, then it is profitable

[silver hornet]

what are the neck protection addons for the heavy helmets called
@modest pagoda there's one that has it, and it's the Aventail for the LZSH-2DTM

[drifting jolt]

...or you could just not wear helmets at all

[silver hornet]

That's cool and all, but he asked a question and I answered it.

[drifting jolt]

i was making a suggestion based off his question

[modest pagoda]

i mean

i only get killed by head jaws head head ears

[silver hornet]

Wear an Altyn all the time 4head

[modest pagoda]

fax

[silver hornet]

fax no printer

[prime sapphire]

Wear nothing 12head

Except shemag of cpurse

[modest pagoda]

how do you get the biggest bagpack in the game

is it 2 military wires or something

[silver hornet]

I think it's 2 mil cables to Prapor, yeah

[languid flare]

^

[modest pagoda]

sadpepe

i dont have eod so i dont have enough space currently

[languid flare]

I dont have EoD either, only Stash lvl 2
And I have my backpack stack started with a raid 😄

[modest pagoda]

y

i need eod b a d l

its a sin to sell armor

[languid flare]

You are just hoarding too much

It wont be better with EoD I promise

[modest pagoda]

i mean i dont hoard

i just get new stuff aka armored rigs

before i can use the other ones

[languid flare]

Then sell those you dont use!
Like AVS and Gzhel (damaged) are bad

[modest pagoda]

tru

im the person that roams tier 5 redut with 2 durability

[languid flare]

But why?
Thats literally just dead weight

[modest pagoda]

10 times in a row after i get it back in insurance each time

idk

[languid flare]

It has 0 protection value

Might as well go without armor

[drifting jolt]

^^

[languid flare]

And no wonder you get it back.
I wont pick up useless stuff xD

Literally putting sugar up Prapors ass

[worn silo]

0/anything doesnt offer any protection at all

[drifting jolt]

@modest pagoda Having EoD will not save you from hoarding just fyi

[modest pagoda]

yeah but your a good playe

player im a bad one

[drifting jolt]

Im ok... have gotten a lot better recently

in 750 hours or so ive killed only like 280 PMCs

but i also scav pretty religiously

[languid flare]

I think I have less than that

[drifting jolt]

@languid flare do you have that many hours?

[languid flare]

Is that your total onyl this wipeor over multiple wipes together?

[drifting jolt]

this is my first wipe

[worn silo]

hours are multiple wipes

since u bought the game basically

[languid flare]

Thats why I ask if its his first xD

[drifting jolt]

right, the hours counts your total time played

but yeah it took me about 500 hours before i felt confident in hunting PMCs

[languid flare]

So.... I have 592-330h (last wipe) and 136 PMCs

262h

[drifting jolt]

you should hunt more

[languid flare]

I only doing duo cause Iam shit solo 😄

[drifting jolt]

fair enough, but actually that's 1 PMC every 30 minutes

that's not terrible

way better than me

[languid flare]

No, but again, never solo

[drifting jolt]

mine is just a little more than 1 PMC every 3 hours lol

although in the last 100 hours ive killed around 100 PMCs

I had an interchange run earlier where I killed 5 PMCs, 3 fairly beefies

[languid flare]

I still need one night IC kill 😦

[drifting jolt]

that's been my most PMCs killed in a raid

i was using igolnik though, and those rounds hit like a truck

[silver hornet]

hit like a truck
no they don't

[calm talon]

So I just did a hatchet run through interchange and extracted, but none of my items were marked as found in raid. Why is that? Is it because I ran through it too fast or?

[silver hornet]

Ran through it too fast

[drifting jolt]

Ill be completely honest, in my entire time... ive opened emercom medical once, and key with tape once, and dont ever really try for locked areas and im rich

it's all about your scav runs

[languid flare]

@calm talon Did it say 'Run Through' when you extracted? If yes, then nothing will be FiR

[drifting jolt]

@calm talon you need 600 EXP or have been in raid 10 minutes for items to be FIR

[silver hornet]

@calm talon You need 600XP, or to stay alive for 10 minutes (from the start of the raid) to not get a run through status.

[calm talon]

Ah I see, thanks guys! 😄

[languid flare]

@drifting jolt I barely do Scav runs, usually just others want to.
I guess Iam just lucky on average

[drifting jolt]

i just like to scav run... i love killing beefy boys with stock weapons

[languid flare]

I did last wipe

This wipe I just cant be arsed to solo anything

[drifting jolt]

I solo like everything

[calm talon]

Even though I were a pretty hardcore hatchling when 12.0 hit, I like this change. Because I didn't respect the way I got my money xD

[drifting jolt]

i hate running with people

they dont play smart enough

the wanna camp dumb areas

and then push open ones

or like to stay on the defense the whole time

[languid flare]

Thats the fault of the people, not doing duos

[drifting jolt]

For all the noobs out there... The more aggresively you play, the more you convince the players youre fighting that youre beefier than you are

When you force players to play defensively they make mistakes...

As you become more confident in gunfights, press the action, rush them, fire a few extra bullets... scare them

force them to try protect themselves AGAINST YOU

when youre trying to protect yourself against them you've probably already lost

[languid flare]

Haha, me. Being aggressive.
Haha
Good joke.
Well.
At least solo

[drifting jolt]

@languid flare What parts of the gunfights arent you confident in?

aiming? positioning? moving around?

[languid flare]

Well, I guess of those mostly the latter.
Iam scared constantly of getting shot from nowhere.

If Iam in a group.
And noone heard it, Iam at least sure that its not my fault.

[drifting jolt]

@languid flare start wearing comtacs or sordins and just listening

[serene drum]

can someone high level play with me and give me pointers n shit? its my first wipe im level 23 so i know a little bit but i would like to become a better player

[languid flare]

I go in never without, so thats a moot point

[drifting jolt]

when you hear shots slightly shake your mouse back and forth left to right...

you can pinpoint them more easily if you shake your mouse slightly as people shoot

or footsteps

[languid flare]

see. I know all of it.
And am still scared shitless

[drifting jolt]

i can tell that via audio

if i push a player

and the immediately start running away

9 times out of 10 they are not a chad

heres a good example of listening really well https://streamable.com/42gbph

He fucked up bc he stopped...

rather than try to reposition and get eyes on me before i got eyes on him

he just sat there... and he paid the price for it

dude had a gzhel and suppressed p90

[languid flare]

Val gamer :D
omg, I heard so many val puns today

[modest pagoda]

is it just me or are reserve spawns horrid

[silver hornet]

It's just you.

Please wait while we spawn you by RB-VO a minute late. Again.

[modest pagoda]

finaly i can carry it the one time i bring a good stim

my life has been acomplished

[drifting jolt]

@modest pagoda those are the moments of accomplishment bro when you brought the right kit for the job!!! kudos man.

[cerulean jackal]

Please wait while we spawn you by RB-VO a minute late. Again.
@silver hornet this hit way too close to home

and I mean way way WAY too close

[silver hornet]

Surprisingly, all of my spots today have been on time.

[cerulean jackal]

Lucky hoe

Reserve is my favorite map but I get shit fps

Legit 40

And my load times are like a min late than average most of the time

[modest pagoda]

love finding 4 hatchet runners in a row which half are over level 50

[languid flare]

"Only low level and poor people hatchet run"
Yeah, sure.
XD
Poor maybe, but if you are lvl 50 and poor, you have some serious issues

[drifting jolt]

@cerulean jackal My scav runs load like shit on reserve but my PMC runs load fine, which is weird

[toxic herald]

You know the Surefire RC2 suppressor and Surefire flash hider combo? more recoil reduction than ST-6012 at the cost of ergo

[proven pagoda]

help i need help with punisher pt 2 lower half masks FIR im dying inside ive played 12 hrs in 3 days tryna get them , pls help i need 1 more found in raid , msg me

[languid flare]

Half of the Scavs have them, sooo

[zenith loom]

if you have no left over meds in your stash is it cost effective to heal via therapist?

[visual knot]

How do i fix block loading of file?

[languid flare]

@zenith loom Therapist heal is always cheaper

[zenith loom]

thanks for letting me know

[languid flare]

Example: Basic bandage costs 1800 roubles (bit more I think) and healing a bleed = 500

[zenith loom]

man I just nailed a lvl 41 with my shotty

and then got fucking wrecked by some unarmoured dude with an SMG at range when I had a rifle

must have missed my headshot because that guy wasn't wearing a helmet

[languid flare]

Rock paper scissor of Tarkov, lol

[zenith loom]

next time I'll make sure I have cover before firing and giving away my position

I had the drop on him too 😦 feels bad man

shoulda been a one tap, my aim is off, running some offline to find stashes and practice aiming

so I got some gas from an early raid, it's been sitting in my stash ever since

I'm waiting to get the flea market before selling it

but is it worth using to get the 5 salewas for therapist quest?

I can't craft without burning some fuel right

[languid flare]

gas, as in fuel? Should rather use it

[zenith loom]

It's a 3x3 gasoline canister

heard it goes for quite a bit of roubles

[languid flare]

Yeah, rather keep it xD

You can start a craft only with fuel, but then you can turn the generator off again and it will continue crafting, albeit at a MUCH slower rate (6 times or so?)

[bold kernel]

heard it goes for quite a bit of roubles
@zenith loom 60-100k depends if its the blue or metal canister

use it for the salewas if you cant find any

[wanton grove]

can you put silencer on mossberg pump shotty?

[proven pagoda]

need help msg me

i can explain , hard to explain a bit

need help with quests and other stuff

[zenith loom]

@zenith loom 60-100k depends if its the blue or metal canister
@bold kernel expeditionary fuel tank, it's blue

[proven pagoda]

need help pls msg me someone i really need help

[bold kernel]

That's 60k só might as well use it for the Quest and then Turn off the generator @zenith loom

[warm geyser]

i love the m4a1 on customs

i killed some scavs then got pinned down by two guys at gas station

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479030048788185128/754682128955867176/unknown.png

i killed one and did 300 damage to the other one

rip

[left sundial]

DAMN

thats a rip

[warm geyser]

i like m4a1 because you can spend literally 80k on it and it shreds

[fiery latch]

@warm geyser What server?

[warm geyser]

EU

[desert cloak]

any room for a noobie

[fiery latch]

Whats up?

@desert cloak What server?

[desert cloak]

nae dallas

[fallen hollow]

is there 5 or 6 people in a factory game?

[lapis patrol]

I think its 5 unless they are all in a group then 6

[faint bobcat]

so im wondering what quest i should submit, theres some chemical you have to mark and you can either turn it into skier or into prapor and therapist

[haughty crater]

im pretty sure they all give different cases

all i know is therapist gives a med case and the other 2 give out either a ammo case or a grenade case

[lapis patrol]

Go for that nade case

[faint bobcat]

skier?

[haughty crater]

i would think prapor

lemme check rq

[faint bobcat]

thanks 😄

[haughty crater]

skier gives a grenade case

[faint bobcat]

then i will go for that one, thank you!

[haughty crater]

np

[lean cobalt]

for some reason i cant sign in and it says e-mail change pending

[pastel cosmos]

did you change the e-mail?

[lean cobalt]

no

[pastel cosmos]

or attempt to

[lean cobalt]

no

[pastel cosmos]

try to log onto it on the browser, if that doesnt work, contact them as your account could have been compromised

but, unlikely but there is a chance

[lean cobalt]

ok

[pastel cosmos]

yeah you spent all your login attempts for like an hour or two. Have you checked your e-mail?

you may or may not have gotten an email about the change

[lean cobalt]

yea even the emails from yesterday are gone

when they said thanks for buying the game

[pastel cosmos]

I would contact them. I dont work for a company, but thats what i would do

[lean cobalt]

i have already and i haven't gotten any thing back

[pastel cosmos]

Yeah i dont know. IDK if you can use the discord bot to contact, as it says no tech support.

but if you can thats what i would do

[lean cobalt]

ok thanks man

[pastel cosmos]

go to the #community-support

maybe some1 there can help

[lean cobalt]

ok

[toxic whale]

How does Fence work? I bought some bullets from him and I dont see it in my stash

[pastel cosmos]

fence sells and buys stuff other traders wont buy, only sell to fence if you have 0 durabilty armor, and repairing would make you lose money. never buy from fence as something that is 6k on the Flea market will be sold by him for 45k

he is the pawn shop of tarkov, bad deals and jack it up on resale

[naive lion]

keys are sometimes the exception

[pastel cosmos]

very seldomly, but yes

[toxic whale]

I'm not lvl 10 yet to access the flea market unfortunately

[naive lion]

thats another time fence is useful
but just know you're getting ripped off

[toxic whale]

Where would the items I buy from him go though?

[naive lion]

directly to your stash

[toxic whale]

I don

I don't see it in my stash

[pastel cosmos]

so you got a bug, you didnt get charged

some1 else bought it before you could

[toxic whale]

rip, alright thanks

[pastel cosmos]

np

[pastel pagoda]

sell all gun items to mechanic

sell food and electronics to therapist and meds

[wanton grove]

are there wallbangs in this game?

definitely seems like there are

[terse jay]

Yesh dem bullets do be penetratin

[bold kernel]

Is there a good method to get loot as a low level

I’ve just been going reserve trying to kill raiders

[ebon sage]

Go in with a pistol and avoid pvp

Just get juicy with stuff to sell

[tawny imp]

hi guys a noobie here i have literally filled up my stash by doing scav runs and few pmc runs in which i have died to scavs mostly i dont know what to keep what to sell as well as i am stuck at level 3

[wanton grove]

slugs of buckshot?

for customs

or*

[still crystal]

I need a ledx for my hideout, what’s the best method to obtain one?

[modest garnet]

I am currently level 22 and my money ranges from 500k-2million rubles depending on the day so what’s a cheap yet effective load out

Plz @ me with answer

[ocean sequoia]

use m855a1 or 7.62 BP with tier 4 armor

is good enough tbh

@modest garnet

[modest garnet]

Kk thx

Adar? Or like sks or akm for 7.62?

[ocean sequoia]

adar to m4 conversion is really cheap

[modest garnet]

Oof is it worth it?

[raven gazelle]

if ur going really budget then use sks

[ocean sequoia]

10-15k for recharg batt barter

20k for m4a1 lower

[modest garnet]

So I gotta buy the lower for full auto capabillity

[ocean sequoia]

yeah

[modest garnet]

Kk

What about armor?

[ocean sequoia]

6b3tm

[modest garnet]

6b13?

[ocean sequoia]

or uley

[modest garnet]

The vest?

[ocean sequoia]

everything else is really expensive

[modest garnet]

Yeah

[ocean sequoia]

helmets dont save me

[modest garnet]

Steel pot helm with gsh headset?

Or kiver with face shield

[ocean sequoia]

i dont run helmet if super budget

[modest garnet]

I’m not crazy budget

[raven gazelle]

penis helm

[ocean sequoia]

comtac + tier 4 vest + 50k gun + backpack + meds

penis helm yeah if you really want it

[modest garnet]

R contacts better?

They double the price

Comtacs

[ocean sequoia]

gssh just have really loud footstep noises

but they essentially work the same way if you are simply just listening for movement

[modest garnet]

Kk

Do u mod the m4 besides a sight or do u like ad a fire grip or silencer?

Fore

[ocean sequoia]

my modded guns are around 100k for the whole thing suppressed and around 60-70 recoil

mdr at <50k is also a good pick from flea market

if you want to go in a bit more on the gun

[modest garnet]

What all do u put on the m4 for recoup build?

[ocean sequoia]

rsass hand guard, rvg, moe + buttpad, hogue grip

and optic of your choice

[modest garnet]

I use the trijicon srs

But alright I’ll look into the m4 build

[ocean sequoia]

o and ultra 5 suppressor

[modest garnet]

Any good money making methods like yesterday I went from 300k to 2.4 million back to 500 k

[ocean sequoia]

or the nt-4 whichever is cheaper

[modest garnet]

Kk

[ocean sequoia]

always use scav, find low traffic routes instead of usually hotspots

[modest garnet]

I’m on skiers chemical part 1 quest and fri nd from the west part 1 trying to get peacekeeper quest unlocked

[ocean sequoia]

suggest making your own route cause loot run guides on yt are kinda well known

and backpack/vest + pistol purely avoiding pvp

[modest garnet]

So is best money made by going in and killing ppl and getting loot or by looting stuff like crates and stuff?

[ocean sequoia]

pvp is actually pretty bad money due to FIR

if you're looking at raw liquid silver

[modest garnet]

Fir?

[ocean sequoia]

found in raid

[modest garnet]

Ahhhhh

Yeah kinda sucks

[ocean sequoia]

cant sell other pmc gear you find

[modest garnet]

Yeah

Kinda gay but understandable

I usually run customs so where should I go for loot then?

[ocean sequoia]

customs isnt bad if you have factory exit key

bunch of buildings by zb-011 have decent loot that aren't hit often from my experience

reshala den/ med building if you get the right spawn

[hard breach]

anyone down to do a few runs together?

[warm geyser]

there is one building near the silos where you can find alot of weapon parts/barter items/computer stuff - graphics card included

[modest garnet]

Zb-011 is the main extract by silos or the one by the fence?

[ocean sequoia]

south east corner of the map

[modest garnet]

And what med building?

[ocean sequoia]

lone building beside 3 buses right past RUAF roadblock

loot runs really depend on if you have a good spawn or not

[modest garnet]

Yeah

I’ll look more into the stuff then thx for the help

[ocean sequoia]

👍

[modest garnet]

I need to buy eod and get a gamma do I start off with better rep with traders and better starting loot to sell

[distant nova]

did you have a stroke

[austere sand]

the damn adar almost killed me, thought it was m4

btw, can i now just buy a m4 from flea and put all of these attachments on it

so its automatic?

[shut pelican]

angel u got mechanic lvl 2? he sells upper receiver for 19k

just transfer all that shit from the adar to there

[gentle stratus]

chaDar

also slick and lZsh kekw

[stray copper]

There is one building right below the sniper scav near the tanker quest for prapor where you gotta get that watch. Anyway, it looks like it's a little mechanics garage, has nearly guranteed fuel/motor spawn. I have found 3 silver looking fuel tanks in there in one raid, sometimes spawns the blue tanks aswell

Misc. Weapon parts on table too

[unkempt root]

Anybody have any tips for scav kills on woods?

[silver hornet]

As in, where to go? Generally, I'd recommend the area around Scav House.

[still kelp]

Uh how can I load into maps faster?

[lapis mauve]

ssd

[upper gorge]

ssd, but the game is just really unoptimized sooo

[lapis mauve]

yeah

[upper gorge]

past that theres not much ypu can do

*you

[lapis mauve]

i have an ssd and it still feels slow to load. i don't late spawn too often but do sometimes

[cloud rover]

It often takes me 3 mins to get into a raid

[slender vapor]

2.5 for me

and I don't even have an ssd

[pine cypress]

Man fram drops in tarkov are really bad

not sure why

My GPU isn't hitting 99% usage

[cloud rover]

It's the game most of the time, not your pc

[faint bobcat]

just got stuck in a corner and lost 700k in loot

[cloud rover]

That's a huge oof right there

[upper gorge]

for the prapor quest with the bronze watch, does it have to be found in raid status?

..?

[silver hornet]

@upper gorge it's a quest item, it doesn't appear in your normal inventory.

You pick it up in the raid (only spawns for you when the quest is active), and you extract with it. If you die, you have to pick it up again.

[median zodiac]

are framedrops normal or is there a fix to it?

[hard crescent]

Mainly graphics settings and your ram

16GB is reccomended, but otherwise turn down the graphics

[silver hornet]

^

[hearty sonnet]

how can I get jaeger quest done for my friend, we have been on woods 4 times and gotten killed by people with mosins and svds, on our last raid we were sitting in a bush for 15 minutes waiting for some kids camping on a rock to leave, they were still there when we left

[hard crescent]

Go to beginners assistance/looking for group and get a 5 man to help you

[hearty sonnet]

dude we had like tts and these guys camped us for 15 minutes with svds and mosins

[silver hornet]

yes you said that already

[hearty sonnet]

but why? what can we even do against this

[upper gorge]

Go to beginners assistance/looking for group and get a 5 man to help you
bruh this is #beginners-assistance

[hard crescent]

+++++++++++

[silver hornet]

but why? what can we even do against this
@hearty sonnet get good, get over it, try and do different quests in the mean time?

[hearty sonnet]

thats really helpful thanks dude, honestly im inspired, gonna go get 10 kills in a factory lobby thanks man 😄

[silver hornet]

no problem

quests in this game are dogshit, you're going to have to slog through them

I spent two hours yesterday on factory getting 4 kills with a Mosin, how do you think I feel lmao?

[hearty sonnet]

ive spent 5 days on delivery from the past

full days with 6 hours of playtime every day

only did 2-3 raids that werent for the quest

[gentle stratus]

I play 25 hours a day scrub lel

[silver hornet]

not playing this game 25 hours a day, 8 days a week, 366 days a year

smh

[gentle stratus]

367 dumbass

[silver hornet]

damn u rite

apologies

[gentle stratus]

np bro you good

[bold kernel]

so to sell on the flea market the item must be found in raid, how are people finding lucky scav junkboxes and fully customized m4s in raid

[lapis mauve]

the m4's are probably from raiders. the junkboxes are crafted in hideout (crafted items are fir)

[bold kernel]

thanks mate ive been wondering for a while

[fallow anchor]

Anyone want to play?

[dry anvil]

sure@fallow anchor

[fallow anchor]

cool

[thorn kraken]

need help doing my shooter born in heaven on shoreline and interchange can anyone help me?

[unkempt root]

Looking for someone to give me tips for woods and scav kills

[lapis mauve]

hide until there is 20-15 min left then run around and kill scavs

[formal birch]

Is this the place to ask if anyone is willing to raid with me to assist me and help show me the ropes further?

[lapis mauve]

here or #pvp-lfg

[median marsh]

is anyone having trouble downloading tarkov? it wouldnt update so i uninstalled but now it wont even install at all

[bold kernel]

@median marsh there is an installing bug with tarkov at the moment give it some time they are fixing it

[median marsh]

😭 thanks @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

yea no problem

[modest garnet]

I’m at 0 rubles what do I do to get money

[bold kernel]

do a scav run on factory and sell everything you get from it

or do scav runs from anywhere and sell all of that

[modest garnet]

I do that but then what

[bold kernel]

sell the guns and armor

[modest garnet]

Like I either die on scav run or make no money

[distant nova]

is this key any good i found it on dorms

[lapis mauve]

if you play reserve its decent. its for a marked room like the one on customs

[bold kernel]

brownie i can help in just a sec

[modest garnet]

Kk

[gritty pawn]

anyone can help me with a task on custom ? D:

[upper gorge]

alright so if i shoot someone in the fucking face 10 times, and this person that i am shooting at does not happen to have anything covering their face, they should be dead yeah? or is 9mm really that bad?

[lapis mauve]

if they have no faceshield then 1 shot of anything except flechette and toz buckshot will kill them

though the bosses have more hp but they should still only be like 2-3 shots

[upper gorge]

well i musta hit his neck or something

jesus im fucking salty today

how good is an fal?

[lapis mauve]

very. if its stock then the recoil is fairly bad. but even cheap m80 is good

just don't use fmj, tpz, or ultra nosler

[dire rock]

the recoil hurts but it hurts the enemy more, .308 in a nutshell

[bold kernel]

Can I help new people cant join channel

[acoustic swift]

Do someone need helps in WOODS ?

[lean charm]

i need help in woods

[bold kernel]

im trash as fuck.

[left vapor]

same

[worn silo]

lul

[bold kernel]

no like im fucking garbage

[worn silo]

kinky

[still crystal]

How much does Jaeger’s RR trade cost in terms of roubles

About

[left vapor]

at the start of the wipe it was... around 1.4m?

[still crystal]

Oh okay

Thank

[foggy stratus]

They’re only more expensive cuz it’s harder to find in raid ones

[bold kernel]

yo who wants to join a ranked with me and spam all Rook Lmg hahaha

[hollow frost]

if anyone needs help ill be around a while

just PM me

[bold kernel]

@hollow frost

Im pretty shit

[twilit spindle]

man I just had an opportunity to drop a really juicy PMC and i fucked it up because he had better ammo than me.

if you are a beginner, learn this lesson now. Spend less on the attachments and more on the ammo.

m995 vs m856a1 is no contest. He will win every time.

[lapis mauve]

stock ak74m with bs/7n39 is better than a modded one with bp

[twilit spindle]

significantly so even.

I really like my Elcan scope cuz i do not trust my aim or my iron sights. If you gotta have that fine but bring good ammo.

armor is nowhere near as important as ammo.

[lapis mauve]

762 bp is cheapish on flea. when you unlock it 55a1 is cheap. m80 is cheap. snb is cheapish

with all the ammo buffs lvl 4 is now scav protection. 5 is kinda useful and 6 will stop a few bullets

[twilit spindle]

I dont know how much better BP rounds are than m856a1 but, as a general rule AKs are enormously cheaper than ARs.

[lapis mauve]

762 bp is a bit better than 55a1, 545 bp is like 762 ps

[twilit spindle]

I dont know why I still struggle with this shit after 600 hours.

I laid a perfect ambush in the place of my choosing on my only map.

and he still beat me.

I guarantee you I know Interchange better than the guy who just dropped me.

bet my friggin life on it.

He kept sprinting even after he almost definitely heard me, so I laid down prone in wait for him.

had a fucking altyn on him too.

face shield down.

2 shots in the face and he'd have died, instead I went for 8 gut shots which his armor totally stopped.

and now im out my best gearset.

fuck. 30 rounds of M995 instead of 90 rounds of M856A1, I could have taken that dude out and then exfilled.

[cursive ruin]

how often does a wipe happen

[twilit spindle]

right before a major patch,usually every 5 months.

last wipe it was a little bit longer for some reason.

[cursive ruin]

when was the last one?

So they will prolly have another soon?

[twilit spindle]

it was right before I left for bootcamp, June 4th

ish

between 4th and 10th.

[cursive ruin]

ah okay it will be a while until another... i was asking cause my friend said he was going to play again when another wipe happens... guess its going to be a while.

[twilit spindle]

yeah more like as not its at least 3 months away.

obviously thats not definitive though.

damn dude this fucking game. Lost my best gearset on a PMC run,gear worth like about 250k. Next run on a scav run I find 600k in lot in the first 3 minutes, and then get exfil camped.

no clue why i keep coming back to it. Skill doesnt matter really often, its just RNG.

[bold kernel]

Im so fucking bad i cant even access the flea

[limpid fiber]

yall want help?

[thin monolith]

bruh i am so lost on the game

im decent

put i just die from nowhere

most of the time

smh

[bold kernel]

Yoo stallin wheres my promotion man i lead the red army into berlin and defeated germany @limpid fiber

[limpid fiber]

it is coming my good man @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

Ahh yes thank you my soviet leader

[limpid fiber]

[naive depot]

@thin monolith map knowledge will help alleviate that

[bold kernel]

@gilded badge yes please im new

Im level 3 or 4

Awaken my soviet leader @limpid fiber

[limpid fiber]

alright give me just a moment in a raid

[bold kernel]

Okey i wait

[steel nova]

Any newer guys wanna go on shoreline/customs runs NA only please, DM me.

[alpine steppe]

Has anybody else had an issue with their game not downloading/updating

[languid flare]

@alpine steppe
http://puu.sh/Gsql3/3242a3a403.jpg
I dont know, do they?

[cold jewel]

Anyone wanna take a noob under their wing and show me the ropes?

I'm familiar with the game, watched a few streamers playing but I don't know the maps well, and I'm a terrible shot sometimes.

[languid flare]

@cold jewel For the maps, just play the maps in Offline mode.
You can turn Scavs on or off, could also use it to 'train' shooting.

[cold jewel]

Yeah, I've thought about that, kinda just looking to tag along with someone so my run doesn't end with my first encounter

[languid flare]

That is fair and definatly helpful.
I can attest to that.
I just wanted to give an alternative until you/if you dont find someone

[cold jewel]

Yup, jumping into an offline now. Did a scav run to warm up and that didn't end well. Ended quickly.

[languid flare]

Scav runs help too, should do them in between off cooldown.
Nothing lost, even if you die, besides time.

I also would advise pulling up the map from the wiki on a second screen (if PC or phone or whatever, doesnt matter)

[cold jewel]

Yeah I've had a couple good scav runs but rarely with any PVP. I got one lucky PMC kill when I got rushed. I've got the maps app on my phone, just scary trying to find somewhere safe to look at the map

[languid flare]

Well, you should have it easier to do so in Offline.
No players to rush you or something.
Thats why I said to learn maps, do that 😛

[cold jewel]

Yup. Practicing though just makes it seem like work

[languid flare]

Well, you would still have to learn it while playing with someone else.
And the more you know yourself, the less of 'issues' you cause someone else.
Bluntly said.

[cold jewel]

Is there a good list of loot to look out for? Some items you can guess are more valuable than others, but the little things is tricky. Take a battery or a lighter, little things like that.

[gray jay]

Is there a way to power level metabolism?

[languid flare]

Well, I had one, but its highly outdated by now.
Especially with prices changing sometimes by a lot suddenly.

@gray jay Eat stuff when you need to, thats it. In theory could eat Mayo to go to 0 water, then drink water to go back up
But thats costly and not really worth it.

@cold jewel Generally for items it might be the easiest to pick everything up once and see what its worth, especially with lvl 10 and fleamarket

[gray jay]

I was trying to chug mayo then chug an aquamari but it looks like a full mayo+40 points of an aquamari is only giving me like .3 and i'm like yikes

[languid flare]

@gray jay Best you will get 🙂

As a note on that: Any energy/hydrations points 'theoretically restored' above your max do not give any XP

[bold kernel]

Someone help please I lost all my guns and im a level 3 with no money im so noob

[languid flare]

Scav runs

[upper gorge]

so how good is the rsass? is it more worth to sell it or keep it?

[languid flare]

Also, if you are truly down to 0, Prapor will give you a gun

[upper gorge]

Someone help please I lost all my guns and im a level 3 with no money im so noob
@bold kernel Scav run, just run straight through to extract

[bold kernel]

okkkkk thanks

[languid flare]

Or just loot normally and get even more out of it 😛

[bold kernel]

Any1 wanna run with me for my first labs run 🙂

[languid flare]

@upper gorge About the gun:
If you got good ammo for it AND want to use it, keep it.
If you dont care, sell

[upper gorge]

Also, if you are truly down to 0, Prapor will give you a gun
woah, really? where do you get the gun? down to 0 as in guns, or literally nothing? is it a one time thing or every time you run out?

[languid flare]

I dont know the details, as it never happend to me.
But as far as I know: Empty stash, you get a message from him

[gray jay]

Wait hold on i'm silly i just noticed the little red triangle is exhaustion so is exhaustion per raid or is there like an in-raid cd?

[languid flare]

And you only get like a AKS

@gray jay Both

[bold kernel]

@runic bone

okay so i am a huge bot and can not for the life of me figure out what i am doing i am just running around shooting at everything that moves and trying to extract but never do whats the best way to learn the game ?

[languid flare]

@gray jay the exhaustion will go back up/down (depends how you see it) over time if you dont gain any XP in that skill, but its not a lot, seen over the whole raid.

[cold jewel]

After you first join and you can see the extraction points top right, can you bring that menu back?

[languid flare]

Press O twice

Once for just time, twice for time and extracts @cold jewel

[cold jewel]

How do you reload without dropping the mag? I thought drop mag was double tap R

[somber thunder]

should be make sure you have empty slot in rig

[cold jewel]

Does it require an additonal empty slot, aside from the one the mag is being taken from?

[languid flare]

Yes

[somber thunder]

yes

[languid flare]

You do need an extra slot
After all you FIRST take the mag out, before you grab the next

[cold jewel]

Got it, thanks. I do love all the little details in this game... Just takes time to learn them all

[languid flare]

Indeed

[cold river]

any beginners wanna team up lmao

[somber thunder]

@cold river are you na?

[cold jewel]

Well, offline runs are certainly less stressful. Shame I don't get to keep anything but it makes sense.

[languid flare]

@cold jewel You also lose nothing, so.. yeah

[cold jewel]

Lol yup. Just the only time I've found any half-decent weapons

Time for another short scav run I guess. Or maybe not short, maybe I won't be sniped from across the map...

Not across the map but ya'll get it. 90% of the time I die in one shot and don't see who killed me. I'm just not good lol.

[olive sinew]

Learning maps is so important, I used to run offline just to get familiar

[cold jewel]

Yeah, that's what I'm working on. I was told Customs is a good map to learn first, done a few scav runs and one offline.

[languid flare]

Always try to have SOME cover avaiable

Customs is first because the first Quests are there

[olive sinew]

Customs has a lot of tasks too, so you'll be going there a lot

[cold jewel]

Ugh scav with a semi-auto rifle and no scope, I'm screwed

[languid flare]

You dont need to PvP
Avoid people/gunshots and just loot, if possible

[olive sinew]

channel your inner rat

[languid flare]

or... yknow... Scav?

[cold jewel]

Yup, and it was a quick scav run. Had time to search one box before I got got.

Heyyy but I at least hurt the guy first. That's good.

[olive sinew]

tarkov is tarkov, that'll happen

[cold jewel]

Yup. Just wish it didn't happen to me so often. Got a minute to look around and figure out where I was, wasn't sure where my exits were though

Having a shit PC isn't helping either.

Are locked rooms not always guaranteed loot? I got a 206 key but found nothing inside.

[silver hornet]

Is it a grey 206 key?

@cold jewel

[cold jewel]

I don't remember, it was last run. 206 in dorms

[dire rock]

depends on the room some are great some are worthless

90% of dorms room are garbo, marked and 214 are 2 good ones i can think of at the moment

[silver hornet]

Was it the 3 story dorm?

For good dorms keys in three story: 214, Marked room. There's a couple of other rooms that I can't think of.

For good rooms in two story: 104, 105. These rooms have a safe, some toolboxes, and some jackets. 110 and 114 both have safes, and loot can spawn on the bed in one of those rooms.

[languid flare]

@cold jewel Not every locked room has good loot, or loot at all.
Some are just for Quests, some are locked but have minimal stuff behind it and some are actually worth keeping the whole game/wipe

[cold jewel]

@silver hornet Two story dorm. @languid flare That makes sense. I figured every key was desirable but so far I've found that and the useless sixpack key

[silver hornet]

Two story 206 is needed for a fairly beginner quest.

[languid flare]

There are even keys that dont have a lock (anymore in some cases) they go to

[silver hornet]

What keys lost a lock?

[cold jewel]

It was offline anyway. I think I got a couple other from scav runs, I'll have to look them up later. The sixpack key is one of those that's never had a lock

[languid flare]

@silver hornet For example the blue car near Checkpoint porta Potty jump in Customs.
I dont know the exact name, but one of the now useless car keys was needed to open the trunk.
Now its always unlocked

[silver hornet]

Huh, alright

[languid flare]

Another is the Car key

http://puu.sh/GsrTe/b46a3f1dce.jpg

Or the Weather Station Safe Key :P
Tho that one always had no use as it was unlocked, I believe shrugs

Or the Gas Station Safe key (Shoreline)

The key to store safe has no lock to it at all

and last but not least: The 'Weapon Safe key'

[silver hornet]

Yeah there are a lot of Shoreline keys that go to already open rooms

[ember pendant]

I'd like to see more key rooms in key rooms.

[cold jewel]

Damn, another short scav. 148 damage dealt, 143 absorbed by armor. I guess 12ga slugs aren't great

[ember pendant]

If that makes sense. Let me unlock a building and then have all the doors locked.

Which slug?

[cold jewel]

Idk - blue shell I think?

[ember pendant]

Leg meta ammo slug then

Yea, it's not going to do too hot versus armored targets

[languid flare]

Led Slug, the worst slug in the game xD

[cold jewel]

Nothing I could do, they seemed pretty well kitted. Trying to be a rat.

[languid flare]

!ammo

[jovial star]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[languid flare]

Learn these~

Shotguns are mostly non armor rounds

[ember pendant]

Excluding flechettes and AP-20

[languid flare]

Which still are most 😛

[ember pendant]

I agree with ya! Just telling him which ones would.

[languid flare]

True true

[silver hornet]

8.5mm fuckshot, Flechettes, and AP-20 are all good.

[languid flare]

All buckshots are neat
All can one tap faces

[ember pendant]

Magnum buckshot - Landmarks favorite ammo right there.

[silver hornet]

8.5 for close range and for leg-meta/face taps

Flechettes can destroy armor at close range

AP20s have the most penetration out of all the slugs, and they have a lot of damage. They'll ruin someone's day if you hit them center mass.

[ember pendant]

400 potential damage per shot.

[languid flare]

I tried Express as well, 9x35 only in damage
But no increase in recoil

[ember pendant]

AP20s are damn near worthless versus C6 though.

Just as a warning there.

[languid flare]

Can still leg meta then

164 damage <.<

[ember pendant]

True, just will take like 10+ shots to the slick

Running into slicks made me quit using my tri laser shotty.

[languid flare]

I said it yesterday.
I wanna try to play next wipe mostly with shotguns

[ember pendant]

Klean did it for a long time this wipe

He got by pretty decent running them

[languid flare]

Yeah
They are viable since the buff
Before too, I guess, but now even more with 'cheaper' ammo

Still wont use TOZ tho, fuck that

[silver hornet]

I got a clip of a friend of mine killing two pistol boys with a TOZ, was actually quite funny

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/707594314

[languid flare]

Yes, it can be .... uhh... interesting.
But I dont wanna handicap myself to the point of cutting of my arm, metaphorically.

[ember pendant]

I killed a guy in labs the other day that had a GL and a toz equipped.

[silver hornet]

Mind the artifacts

But you can see that the TOZ reeeallly struggles.

[languid flare]

Quite

Its best ammo doesnt even pen class 2

[opaque garnet]

How the fuck am I supposed to get better against other PMCs? I can never get practice because I always die, sometimes without even getting a shot off.

I have map knowledge, and while I have practiced offline against AI they're nothing when compared to a decent PMC

[violet mica]

Looking for someone to duo with

Anybody up?

[cinder hound]

the dude

[opaque garnet]

Might have better luck in the LFG channel monika

[cinder hound]

just shoot pmcs

like no capp like

When u want to get better at it

u first need to have enough money

to not have gear fear

[opaque garnet]

wow, shoot pmcs to kill pmcs. Why didn't I think of that, its so simple /s

[cinder hound]

second step is run into every hot area every raid

to pvp

Thats how u get better

[opaque garnet]

Dying over and over again doesn't help

[cinder hound]

The biggest problem is gear fear

[violet mica]

@opaque garnet I think you should just listen to him

[cinder hound]

Most people play a certain way if they are worried about the armor they are wearing

or the gun they are using

and the way u play when u have under geared pmc vs a geared pmc, is completely different

if im wearing lvl 6 armor, im rushing the dude

[opaque garnet]

So waste my money on top tier gear, go into hotspots, die, ???, profit.

gotcha

[cinder hound]

if im wearing level 4 armor, im sitting back and taking vantage points

dude

Lol why do i even bother

[violet mica]

Honestly

[cinder hound]

Asks a question

doesnt listen properly

[opaque garnet]

You're not telling me anything I don't already know

[cinder hound]

[violet mica]

Can't help them if they refuse to acknowledge the details you are trying to answer

[cinder hound]

^

I have to say the main problem with people who are stuck on the bottom, are the fact they want to play the game the way they want to play, and they wont take anyone's advice to get better

[violet mica]

I take advice

[opaque garnet]

Fuck the pair of ya, fucking cunts

[cinder hound]

then they complain why am I not rich, why cant I beat the pmcs

idgi

[violet mica]

@opaque garnet Your fault, lol

[somber thunder]

people are used to pick up and play shooters, not ones that you gotta learn tbh

[violet mica]

Yeah

[cinder hound]

This game if u dont learn and try to improve

ur always going to sit on the bottom

This game has a huge learning curve

if u can't handle the advice dont fucking ask for it and complain

[opaque garnet]

level 34, I've played a few raids.

[cinder hound]

wow

played a few raids

[violet mica]

Wow

Rofl

[cinder hound]

I can get lvl 34

purely ratting

and walking around looting

doesnt mean u know how to pvp, and that u know everything about the game

[ember pendant]

If you are level 34 then you should know this game is desync as hell and no one is going to hold your hand.

[cold jewel]

Back for another scav on customs. Hopefully I can get at least one kill. Might need to drop my settings down lower, but I think the lag I'm getting is CPU bottleneck, my GPU is handling it fine.

[violet mica]

If you are level 34 then you should know this game is desync as hell and no one is going to hold your hand.
@ember pendant ^

[cinder hound]

^

[ember pendant]

If you want to get better, put in the time.

If you die. Learn from it ffs. Don't just blame some bullshit and move on.

[cinder hound]

opens with a general question, how can I get better at killing pmcs. Gets advice, I knew that already ur stupid

like wat

[ember pendant]

That's the biggest issue people have in tarkov. They are looking for the excuse to why they died versus how they could have played it better.

[somber thunder]

@cold jewel game is a memory hog too, make sure your ram is handling it fine, look up some recommended settings

[cinder hound]

Tacos what map do u run

[cold jewel]

I've got 16gb but it's DDR3, this is an old shit pc.

Customs

[cinder hound]

Reserve is fuckin heavy memory

[violet mica]

Yeah

[cinder hound]

customs is generally ok

how many frames u picking up

i play on like 40 - 50 frames lol

[ember pendant]

100-110 for me.

[cold jewel]

Idk, don't have a frame counter up. I usually rely on steam overlay for that. Is there one built in?

[cinder hound]

i watch like 4 other people's streams while I play

ya

press ~

and type

fps 1

to turn it off again fps 0

[ember pendant]

Which that command will decrease your fps by around 5 while its active

[cinder hound]

^ this is true

imagine making a fps counter that tanks ur frames

LOL

[ember pendant]

Also isn't an accurate FPS counter based on what I've played with.

It'll report 15 fps while the game is running smooth as butter or 110 while its ripping frames.

Sure the PC can be a limitation, but you can learn to play with lower frames.

[cold jewel]

Getting anywhere from 30-50, but it seems to drop frames when I'm shooting or being shot at

Runs smooth otherwise

[ember pendant]

Typically means you gotta slow down, but that's the price you gotta pay for not having a PC that is up to snuff.

[cold jewel]

Back to the raid though

[cinder hound]

GL 🙂

[cold jewel]

Finally a clean rat run. Not great loot but I made it out with an extra gun and a backpack... And medkits for a quest I think

Goddamn though this game is bad for my anxiety.

On scav runs, if you shoot one scav do they all turn hostile for the rest of the run, or only scavs that see it happen?

[ember pendant]

Its not an exact science, but they will stay aggro'd to you for a bit

[somber thunder]

theres a range to it

[ember pendant]

eventually they will drop aggro

[cold jewel]

Ahh nope, wrong med kits. Oh well. Glad to hear that, I was afraid they were like zombie pigmen - Shoot one and they hate you forever.

[ember pendant]

Nah homies don't communicate that well across the map.

[cold jewel]

I like what I've got going now. Do an offline, do a scav, rinse and repeat until my inventory is full then I guess sell stuff.

Is it worth holding on to weapon mods, or should I just sell them and find the ones I want to buy? Are some only available from raids?

[olive sinew]

It depends, some weapon mods can go for a good chunk on the flea, others you can just sell

I'll keep things like scopes and stuff that I could throw on a gun I use often. But if you can't install it on anything, might as well sell it

Does a penetration value of 30 mean it goes right through class 3 armor? Or does it need to be slightly above in order to do that

[somber thunder]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[prime nova]

Is rr barter worth it

[olive sinew]

@somber thunder Thanks! That's insanely helpful

[cold jewel]

Ahh why is it always the stomach? (I know, biggest target)

[somber thunder]

NP

[prime nova]

Also can u get sicc case any way other than barter

[ember pendant]

Is rr barter worth it
@prime nova
If you play Reserve or Woods a lot, sure.

[olive sinew]

Unless you kill somebody who misclicked and accidentally transferred their SICC case from their secure container and into their backpack,

no 😦

@prime nova

[ember pendant]

No you can't get a sicc case from any way besides the barter.

Well, I guess there are a few other ways.

You could have someone gift you one or someone could list a FIR they've held onto for 3 months on the flea.

[olive sinew]

ask nikita REALLY nicely ❤️

[prime nova]

Fair enougg

[ember pendant]

I doubt there are more than 5-10 FIR sicc cases left though across active players, so I doubt the 2nd one will happen. If it does be prepared to pay 3.5 mil +, more likely 10 Mil +

[prime nova]

And Peavy what u mean someone gift it

[ember pendant]

You have a bro that says "Hey have this sicc case" and drops it in raid for you.

[prime nova]

Ah

Can't that be mistaken with rmt tho

Coz I was told pre much u drop any rlly expensive items u can get flagged for rmt

[ember pendant]

Rumors sherpa gifts could have them, but I'm not a sherpa so I can't answer that one for certain.

Sure, it could be. Just like dropping your buddys gun for him next raid could be.

[prime nova]

Fair enough

[ember pendant]

It's like 1.5 mil though, not really that expensive in the grand scheme of things.

[prime nova]

True

So say I drop a non fir ledx for someone is it more likely not going to be flagged as rmt

[ember pendant]

I've done it a few times.

No telling if I'm flagged or not.

I'd assume not though since nothing has ever came of it.

Take in mind I also have 1k raids this wipe. Maybe it takes that into account.

[prime nova]

Yeah fair enough always been scared of getting banned for dropping shit for mates and getting banned coz rmt

[ember pendant]

I personally figure if they ban me for helping a friend / teammate the game is garbage and I don't want to play it.

[prime nova]

Yeah but isn't boosting against their rules anyway? Another thing I've been told

[ember pendant]

Seems super counter productive to punish people for trying to be helpful. I also have helped out newer players on the discord and they honestly need a handout or two if the first couple of raids don't go so hot.

[prime nova]

Fair

[somber thunder]

Unless youre droppin millions of roubles worth of shit that your friend never had regularly then you should be alright

[ember pendant]

Either way, I've done all this knowing I could get banned. I just have accepted the game isn't worth it if I do. That's my personal line in the sand.

[shut temple]

Can someone help me with some beginners quests? I don’t know any map besides customs and I’d like to get my traders leveled

[prime nova]

Yeah just find it's a waste of money if i get banned for something that I didn't do

[ember pendant]

I've gotten my $1/hr out of it.

[somber thunder]

last wipe i at one point reset my account and dropped like 15 mil ish worth of shit for peoples and they didnt care too much about that

[ember pendant]

If it disappears, onto something new.

[prime nova]

Fair

[ember pendant]

I dropped Willerz 3 sets of T-7's last wipe.

That also was before they cracked down on RMT too.

[prime nova]

True true

[somber thunder]

Yea i guess they have gotten alil stricter with a lot of stuff because of rwt

[prime nova]

Yeah

[ember pendant]

I just don't think they are banning people that do it casually. They haven't been clear about it ever.

Originally a lot of people said they got banned for it, but I haven't seen many complaints on reddit the past 2-3 months.

[prime nova]

Yeah coz I would like to help out some of my newer friends and just wasn't sure if I would get banned for iy

[ember pendant]

I mean you could always loot for them and trade bags at the end.

[prime nova]

Yeah

[ember pendant]

That's how I typically handle helping noobs out versus explaining loot values during raid.

[somber thunder]

Yea, usually just take them on money runs and dont make them bring much gear if any

[cold jewel]

Cool, another clean scav run. I might be getting good at this. Learning the map faster than I expected.

@somber thunder RWT?

[somber thunder]

real world trading

[cold jewel]

Ahh yeah. Hard to restrict it without restricting those who just want to drop shit for their friends.

What does the survival kit do compared to the other medkits?

survival kit fixes blacked out limbs

[cold jewel]

Ahhh very useful. Explains the higher price.

[olive sinew]

CMS kits will also do that, but only have 5 charges

[somber thunder]

and they cut the limb health in half when they fixed blacked one

[cold jewel]

Does the survival kit have charges? Looked like it was one time

Oh, 15 times. Wow

[olive sinew]

The max for the survival kit is 15

[cold jewel]

I saw 15hp

Guess I got lucky getting that on a scav

[olive sinew]

Yeah, that's just 15 uses

Its 15/15 right

[cold jewel]

Yup

[olive sinew]

Oh yeah, very useful

Although it takes up a lot of space, and you can't fit it in an Alpha container

[cold jewel]

I'm still scared of doing PMC runs but my inv is getting full so I'll have to soon. Tomorrow though, done for the night. Thanks for all the help!

[olive sinew]

When in doubt, scav it out. More money is never a bad thing

And can only help you rebound when you finally get to your PMC runs

[cold jewel]

True, for now I don't really know what to spend it on, or what barter items I need to hold on to

[somber thunder]

start selling stuff, start leveling your traders and making money

[cold jewel]

Yup. And I need to start general leveling so I can unlock the flea market.

I'm enjoying it so far though. I held off on this game for so long, thinking it was just too complicated for me. It definitely is, but in a good way.

I've mostly watched AquaFPS' recap videos so not a great example of the day to day play.

[olive sinew]

Check out Pestily's raid series S2, I've been watching it since I've started Tarkov and its really helpful for learning the game and experiencing someone walk through it for you

[ember pendant]

Back to the CMS / Surv kit thing. Surv kit will repair the black limb to a higher hp than a cms as well.

I don't have time do go through it with ya, but those are the items you will need throughout tarkov. If you don't see them on the list, sell them. If you have more than 1-2 gear sets and are not EOD, sell them.

[cold jewel]

EOD? Explosive ordnance disposal?

[spice trellis]

end of days

Eerily overpriced dogshit

I impressed myself with that last one

[ember pendant]

EOD = Edge of Darkness edition of the game. Gamma container + level 4 stash is included.

How rare are the ledx spawns in resort generally

I’ve been getting every west wing room with a ledx spawn and haven’t seen one yet

[languid flare]

We dont have a %, so all I can tell you is "Somewhere between rare and very rare"

[lucid swallow]

Can anybody tell me if it worth keeping ophthalmoscope found in raid:?

[barren berry]

Lemme re-write:
Sell it

[languid flare]

@lucid swallow You need 3 (not FiR) for a Quest

[lucid swallow]

oh ok

thx

[zenith loom]

anyone got modding advice for lower level gear (AKS-74U, SKS) before I'm able to link search?

I want to have a sight on these things but for the life of me can't find a rail that allows it

Also any dovetail mounts I find only ever seem to fit on shotguns

[strong barn]

Use Edit Preset; not linked search--when you get it
that link search will give you more of a headache then its worth

Thats my tip

[zenith loom]

haven't got the workbench q_q

[strong barn]

when you get it

[zenith loom]

which is lvl10 and I can buy the stuff from flea since I never find multitools :p

[strong barn]

multitool can be bought from mechanic lvl 1 🤨
you even look through what they sell?

[zenith loom]

oh fuck

Yeah I've been through sellers a lot I just didn't think the multitool was something you'd be able to buy from them

now I look stupid for not saving my bolts and nails

[mellow maple]

I've had the same experience

[distant obsidian]

Can you run labs in offline?

Just got a keycard on my scav run, but I dont want to go into the labs menu thing and use up my keycard

[fallen hollow]

@distant obsidian yes you can, and the keycard will not be used

[distant obsidian]

cool, thank you @fallen hollow

[modest pagoda]

Running labs in offline shold be punishble with death

[void pagoda]

Do weapon presets get deleted after wipes as well?

[silver hornet]

Nope

[void pagoda]

Dang, alright. Gotta write this stuff down.

Wait, you said no.

I need coffee lmao.

[silver hornet]

yee

[void pagoda]

Haha, alright. Thanks.

[silver hornet]

That was one thing they specified this wipe

Examined items and presets were the only thing that would transfer over

[void pagoda]

Sweet, that's a very good QoL thing.

[bold kernel]

What is a good starting gun?

[low cargo]

hi

[fiery latch]

Does anyone have a cool budget gun I can try out?

[distant nova]

Adar

get some good attachments for ADAR

[zenith loom]

can anyone tell me what stock I can buy from lvl1 traders to go on vepr vpo-136

I don't have linked search or weapon loadouts unlocked yet

pulling my hair out buying all the AK stocks and not finding anything that goes on it

[distant nova]

you can google it

[zenith loom]

it's the akm not the hunter

thank you, didn't realise wiki allowed you to find fitting attachments

man getting weapons together at lower levels is a massive ballache

can't wait until I unlock the ability to make weapon builds and link search + flea market

[low cargo]

R U STILL PULLING UR HAIR OUT

[glacial gust]

I am really getting annoyed by angles that I cannot shot from while the enemies can literally one shot and spray me because of forced gun raise (when you get near an object you raise your gun), how can I find angles that don't cause this to happen I legit have 400+ hours on Tarkov but still die to that...

[zenith loom]

can't you just stand further from whatever cover is blocking your gun?

[fiery fractal]

What is the best way to practice gunplay? I find myself missing a lot of shots. With that as well, is it better to stop moving then shoot or should I be strafing and shooting. Usually how I miss.

[zenith loom]

offline raid turn scavs and scav bosses on, go try to kill scav boss and his mates

[glacial gust]

ye i gues

[fiery fractal]

Ok and should I be stopping then shooting?

[zenith loom]

I'm not knowledgeable enough to say if there are drawbacks to running and gunning, but I almost always stop when I shoot

In a gun fight if someone has the drop on me I'll always run to the nearest cover, if you have the drop on them you want to get close to cover first if possible then take your shot whilst still

since after your first shot you should be expecting returning fire, I've been killed many times missing my first shot and not having any cover nearby

[lapis mauve]

there are times where its better to stop and aim and times where its better to keep moving and not ads

unlike some games the bullet comes out of your barrel, wherever its pointed, so if you can get a feel for that (or use a laser) you can be very accurate point firing. also a dot on your screen doesn't really help because the gun moves a little (or a lot with like broken arms or something)

someone said to get good at point firing do offline factory horde mode with no sight, only a laser. eventually you will get a feel for where the laser is aimed and won't need it anymore (and can switch to an ir laser)

[zenith loom]

a red dot is what I need, I've died in my two hipfire engagements so far

even right up close

[lapis mauve]

skier lvl 1 sells a cheap very visible laser, but know it can give you away so maybe don't leave it on

[zenith loom]

I want to make use of the lvl 1 attachments but man every time I get one I can't find out how to put it on a weapon

I almost always can't get the necessary attachments for it to fit on any of my weapons

[lapis mauve]

gun modding with lvl 1 traders is almost non existent

[zenith loom]

yup

[lapis mauve]

there is like 2 ak builds, one with laser and grip, other with a red dot

[zenith loom]

man I'd love it if someone had builds for lvl1 traders prior to unlocking flea

I've searched everywhere

every budget build almost always requires flea

[lapis mauve]

i just use a pistol or mp5 ifi get knives until i get flea

[opaque mirage]

gotta do dem quests

[zenith loom]

can you get mp5 at lvl1 traders?

[lapis mauve]

i will make 2 ak builds, they can be made with any ak except aks-74u (including semi one and 366)

[opaque mirage]

peacekeeper has MP5K at lvl1

[lapis mauve]

pk has a knife trade for mp5

[zenith loom]

fuuuuuck

this is the kind of shit I want to know about man

I feel like there's a serious lack in knowledge for beginners prior to getting flea

[opaque mirage]

pestily makes great guides

[zenith loom]

like there has to be SOMETHING that makes the grind to flea more bearable

[fiery fractal]

@lapis mauve so for now, as a new player, I should really focus on stopping and shooting atm but staying near cover.

[zenith loom]

I've watched a lot of pestily stuff but his rush to lvl10 is too advanced for most beginners

[opaque mirage]

wiki is your friend

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Escape_from_Tarkov_Wiki

[lapis mauve]

@lapis mauve so for now, as a new player, I should really focus on stopping and shooting atm but staying near cover.
@fiery fractal probably

[zenith loom]

I use wiki for specific stuff, like I'll look up a weapon

[lapis mauve]

like i said, i just use a pistol and click scav heads. avoid pvp as much as possible. at lvl 10 i can get guns i want

[zenith loom]

but I can't use the wiki to find complex advice like lvl1 trader builds or what the good barter trades are considering there's so many

[zenith loom]

thank you for those

[lapis mauve]

those are the 2 lvl 1 trader ak's

[zenith loom]

I think y'all forget how long it takes a beginner to get lvl 10 I've been playing for 5 days now

if I had to pistol run this entire time I'd kms

[lapis mauve]

same parts go on any ak. if you find a different grip/sight (depending on version) you can replace it in raid

it goes faster with experience, like 1-2 days you can get lvl 10

[zenith loom]

advise new players to scav run, not pistol run, it will destroy their soul

[lapis mauve]

scav runs are great yeah

[zenith loom]

yeah for sure next wipe I might get it in a few days

[opaque mirage]

dont underestimate a pistoling

[zenith loom]

don't underestimate inexperience lmao

[opaque mirage]

i wonder if Toz can still one tap lvl 5 helmets

[lapis mauve]

scav runs = unlimited gear

[zenith loom]

I've died every single pistol run because the range for engagement is short since new players can't click heads with pistols at distance

and as a new player I'm not familiar with movement enough to quick peak a corner and one tap scavs

it'll come with time I'm just saying pistol runs aren't good advice for new players, I tried it, it sucked

[lapis mauve]

night can help, scavs can't see as far so you can get closer. you are at a disadvantage to nvg players but players will kill you anyways

and you can turn brightness up in game now. just make sure you collect flashlights from scavs

[opaque mirage]

collect the lower half masks too

helps early game for PACA trade

[zenith loom]

so those ak builds will work on any except AKSU

[lapis mauve]

yep, now that paca is overpriced . . .

yep, 762, 545, 366

[zenith loom]

man I've just been unloading cash on pacas and SSh's

[lapis mauve]

ah, folding ak's you can't change the stock

[zenith loom]

not sure if it even does anything for me but people say it'll save you from a scav shot so... maybe it's worth?

idk I often die from players not scavs these days

lower level players it helps with I guess

[lapis mauve]

paca is nice because it protects from shotgun scavs and you get it back in insurance a lot

[zenith loom]

yea

[lapis mauve]

helmets not really worth imo but everyone has different opinions about that. i'd rather spend that money on headsets

[opaque mirage]

im pretty sure a helmet has only saved my life twice

[zenith loom]

the lvl1 trader headset feels like trash though

I can't hear anything over the sound of my own footsteps

[opaque mirage]

works the other way too

[lapis mauve]

i'm lvl 52 and i only use the fake mt (though often with slaap, that works)

[fiery fractal]

I’ve had a few successful runs I get kills here and there but honestly if I get in a gunfight I normally lose.

[opaque mirage]

SlowMT with a SLAPP

[lapis mauve]

it is the worst headset but i like it more than nothing, some can't use it

[opaque mirage]

marry me.
