also guys, instead of using items in my inventory
how can i assign them to my hotbar ?
you can choose to drag the item onto the hotbar
or, hover your mouse and press a number key
1-3 are already used
that too ^
And it only works in your rig and pockets
^
if you need a tactical rig, your best option early game would be the Bank Robber at Ragman 1, for 9.7k roubles
Depends on what you are running still
need
oh ok I'll try it out, thanks y'all ๐
dont use money that you don't need to spend
take the bank robber only if you're using larger health items (salewa or CAR first aid) or have 2-slot magazines
or i guess, if your pockets aren't big enough
Why don't we have bigger pants
Also all the new bags in the stream, they will be added in 12.8 right?
i've been trying to do this quest for like a week @drifting jolt
Just wondering do I get endurance exp from running in 1 spot? aka like running in a corner?
LFG NA need to survive a factory run
^
what is good ammo for 5.56 weapon
@short star what are u looking for in the ammo
like best of the best
or like budget
m856A1- lvl 3 penetrator pens 4 in 3-4 shots - tracer - budget
M855A1 - lvl 4 penetrator pens 5 in 3-4 shots - expensive without peacekeeper lvl 3
m995 - lvl 5 penetrator pens 6 in 3-4 shots - very expensive
m855 - level 3 penetrator pens 4 in 4-5 shots - cheap as hell
@short star
i recommend using battle buddy or the ballistics page for ammo comparisons
!ammo
budget
i put the rounds up there you figure out what you need, asking other people whats best is going to get you 50 million opinions
Can graphics card spawn in computer cases?
yes its like a 1% chance
yes @bold kernel
Thank you
found them a few times on customs
kill 4 scavs without using meds quest, any suggestions for pathing?
been trying forever just cant get to 4
Try woods
yeah forgot to mention the quest needs to be done in woods
woods, suppresed sniper rifle, go as long range as possible
around scav house at the east of the map, there's good high ground that lets you overlook scav spawns around the house
If you're feeling lucky, around the lumber mill (not inside), you can get a few scavs, but you're likely to run into them rather than spotting them from afar
west side, east of train station is a good open field with plenty of scavs, so be careful around there too
Anyone got any tips for a noob. Pretty sure anything would help cause I got the game yesterday
Youtube has all the tips you need
a easy way to get loot is bringing in a weapon with nothing else and looting dead bodies, dont risk dying if you find some good loot. Scav runs are really good too
Questions or ingame?
I can help with Questions
YOOOO I SPAWNED WITH A LABS KEYCARD, A 206 KEY, A MACHINERY KEY, AND 40k ROUBLES
is that good? (sorry for caps)
yeah i did
What exactly does air filtering unit do? not sure I understand
When supplied with a filter, increases your physical skill gain
Just dropped like 4m on hideout upgrades. generator and workbench are lvl 3, now Im building/upgrading Solar panels, bed lvl 3, water collector lvl 3, intelligence lvl 3, sir filter unit, bitcoin farm lvl 2...
ooh, cool
it makes physical skills level 40% faster. imo its worth it if you don't have bitcoin farm because you can turn it off between raids
need help

what's the best map to start on when you are new to the game
Customs
^
@urban thunder Customs, definitely. There's plenty of maps out there. Once you become familiar, you might want to look up a map that shows all the hidden caches. They're small, but good loot.
anyone from EU could help me do 2 quests in Factory?
i like how they finaly fixed the invite button lol
Already a week ago, yes
Is there a 2x or more scope for aks 74u
You will need the XRSU47SU handguard, then you can put big scopes on your gun, which is basically like any other gun then
@distant obsidian
Thank you!
๐
Im using hybrid sight, how do I switch back and forth between them without unscopping?
My friend can do it with default controls but mine won't
Well, if default doesnt work for you, check what it is for you in controls
Cause if you changed it, we wont be able to help xD
It was default
I changed it to one button and it works fine, but the default button combo doesnt work
Might be an issue of your keyboard then?
Maybe :/
keyboard needs an update apparently.
maybe that will fix
Maybe its my mouse
when I do RMB+ alt it doesnt change scop magnification, I have to do alt then RMB
same for ctrl
anyone wanna help a nooob? i woulld appreciate tf outa yahh
i would need some help too im really new to this game
Im really new to the game the best i got was to lvl 5 I dont have anything more than what u start with xd
well.... learn customs early on... use the bullet guide https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VuxGkweKB118mF1kcBmVPe-Bj_gSKGOCWyoytM4miDU/edit#gid=64053005

if you have any questions just ask... it's kind of hard to gauge how to help you if you're just so new
@versed light Alternatively use the wiki and its bullet guide, which is the same, just better looking ๐

.. bot broke
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.

There
ok ok thanks for the advice guys appreciate it
looking to finish quests and get money since im broke. Just dm me if you can help
So...I have like 30 pistols laying around various places in my stash, which are the low tier ones I should discard?
well, sell.
Uhhh... lets do it the other way around:
5/7 is good.
G18 is good
Shrimp is good.
shrimp?
cool?
do you pistol run alot?
You need to hoard primaries ๐
The rest are either meh ammo or just semi
@drifting jolt You wont use 90% of those
I have primaries too >_>
@languid flare nope, but it's fun being able to take anything i want in when i want to do it
Do I have shrimp(s)?
nope
depends on ammo
Meh
M1911 is okay with AP ammo
But m9 is nothing special
Same ammo as Glock18
But glock is full auto
I just used 5-7's and APS's
I actually did use a Glock 17, but only cause I didnt care if I lost it, lol
Factory ftw
Might wanna keep the glock with silncer and the PB (Makarov with silencer), but yeah, the rest is just basic pistols
And even those two is like... meh
Ah, alright. thanks
Check their ammo
If its
7n31
AP 6.3
Quakemaker
RIP
(maybe Luger)
you may wanna keep the ammo
For sure. Just laying around, collecting dust ๐
how good of an idea is it for me to jump in factory with a saiga and 4 full mags
the shotgun ofc not the semi auto 9mm
What ammo
should i be seeling my bitcoins to therapist?
what should I be crafting with workbench 3 for profits? i been doing wires from cables
I have 7 hideout upgrades being built right now O_O
gen3 unlocks a lot
welp it was definitely worth it,i went in with 4 mags total and 20 reserve of magnum buckshot @violet mica
Boi
that was fucking fun
blam blam blam blam,just shredding scavs
my second ever pmc run in factory even though i'm level 17 lmao
went surprisingly well
https://clips.twitch.tv/LongInnocentCodBrokeBack Until you see this bullshit lol
No helmet scav just eating
a panic magdump for a specific scav who had armor tho
almost killed me when i was using a cms lmao
how did that scav even survive so long
Look at all the blood dude
โDrinking whilst wearing a balaclava/mask in tarkov is unrealisticโ
https://www.twitch.tv/battlestategames/clip/ProudPunchyHeronPJSugar?tt_medium=mobile_web_share&tt_content=clip
welp only two more usec kills left for my task now
i'm just gonna buy more ammo and go back in factory
Sounds good to me
You'll wreck way more with flechette rounds
Powermag with flechette rounds
If you have a lot of money, yes
i have 2 mil rn so uhhh
and my jaeger isn't high enough to buy some
i need to spend way more
and get his stupid tasks done
I did this with workbench 3
@distant obsidian
@quaint kraken flechette wrecks high tier armor
i prefer the 8.5mm buckshot though
Like 1.3k a round?
@drifting jolt how much did it cost your to make though?
@fallen hollow Umm, The cost of the m67 greandes and smoke greandes, and then i bought all the blue gunpowder, but i made all the green and red gun powder to make the rounds
the m67 and smokes make green gun powder, then use the green to make red, then use blue green and red to make 120 igolnik rounds
So like 500-750k tops?
shrugs im not the best at the game, so i have to flex with money
like two weeks or so
but i dont pay attention to my hideout religiously
so if i wasnt stoned all the time id probably remember to get the made items and make new ones
@drifting jolt oh i see,i think 8.5 is still handier cause its dirt cheap and gets the job done
@quaint kraken I agree completely
it's good enough to sweep scavs and no armor pmc's in factory
which is what i'm after rn lol
that raid was one of the most fun i've ever had
guys I bought the game and on the website the "install button" comes up and it does nothing
how much is the RB-BK key worth on flea market ?
~63-65k
thanks
someone say money flex?
i am the best at fotoshop
@sour plume how much money u got?
help
@zinc basin Want to be a little more descriptive lol?
Only advice I can give you is to choose a map and learn it. Once you learn a map and know the locations to shoot from and take cover in. You'll stop dying as much.
I realize that comes off as super-unhelpful. But it's what worked for me. When you start playing, you'll die with no warning, from out of nowhere and have zero clue what happened. Once you learn angles and avenues of fire, you'll know which areas to avoid and the one-taps well lessen.
ok
I'd personally suggest the interchange map, it's pretty new player friendly. Lots of long halls and open areas.
If you plan on doing quests, go to customs. It's more difficult but lots of beginner quests are there.
@raven gazelle 99m
i love loosing raids and now having fuck all
can anyone help me with the quest delivery from the past from prapor?
@jolly sun so when you get the item from customs... and then go to factory... camp and hide for 15 minutes, or immediately rush the place you have to place the item
cause if you place it and die, all you have to die is go in and survive a factory raid to complete it, you dont ahve to place the item again
i know what i need to do but i keep dying alone
i'mma keep is so honest with you guys, i just started and am pretty clueless. i'm a top 30 thousand warzone player on a pro team so i am super familiar with game mechanics, just trying to learn the ropes of this. if you wanna have fun and help me learn, hmu, i'm chill with a good mic :)
NA east btw
@ancient shuttle why dont you recommend a 5 man factory run?
@silent steppe i can show you the ropes bud
@silent steppe spent like 90 minutes helping a lvl 5 earlier
I just got a duo but i would love to run other time :))
the other guy is not new but i will ask him right now!!
all good, im lvl 44
he said yes
where yall at?
i sent you a friend request, not in the server just in a group call. not sure if he is in this one, does that work?
5 man factory i have tried it and the comms are all messy tks all of that and also it just confuses me alot
ye but if u go in do ur tasks and leave no one will kill u
and its pretty easy u just need everyone to listen
fair
Helping new players (NA region) learn the game. Feel free to DM me. I will be around for while. First come first served.
send help im hella new and have no clue how to not lose all my gear (which is what usually happens to me)
Any gamer able to show me where to go for extract on custom? Got 2 i havent done or seen before
What are they?
Its probably boat and lamp or something
I got out! Thanks anyway gamer
willing to learn new players the game or help them whit runs on custem or interchange be 18+
for the love god please stop spelling like that D:
Mote is either complaining about two things
Someone with a first language that isn't English
Or someone who's mentally handicapped.
god damn it ;-;
i killed a 3 man on factory but couldn't pick up any dog tags
life is pain
welp,got to go back in again hoping for a usec dogtag
at least i know the mp5 is super effective for the cheap price
Until you find someone with good armor.
@silver hornet the guy literally is spelling like that on purpose, if that wasnt obvious
hey,it's still a bullet hose
okay, so mentally handicapped
ooh my scav has a kedr,might as well bring it home and use that for factory
Can someone help me find 1 flash drive or 1 broken gphone? first wipe and ive been stuck on these quests forever.
Level 3 looking for scav runs
level 3 looking for duo partner to finish scav quest on customs na east
Ill join ya
cool
wanna make it a three man?
coastal try to spawn in as scav in factory or interchange. did the trick for me multiple times
YES!
it do not madder
hey i need some people to help me out
i'm not a beginner per sya, but i'm stuck with stater gear, i quit tarkov for a while and joined late wipe
i can't do scav runs or pmc runs properly, i always find pmc's armed to the teeth and i barely find any loot
some help would be appreciated, either sharing gear, giving tips or carrying is cool, eu
same here, looking for some assistance
alright so why the fuck does the game keep telling me that I have smugglers boat extract despite the fact that the boat isn't there
it's normal, it tells you eveyr exfil
unless you go there yourself, it doesn't tell you that exfil's impossible
going for those type of exfils are a gamble
@upper gorge smuggler's boat isn't always available. If the campfire by it is lit, it's open. If it's not, it's not open.
Anyone down to help a new person im only level 2
Ok, thanks for telling me. Btw, what are flash drives for? I've heard that they're important.
Anyone need some assistance, feel free to DM me [EU servers tho]
I have 6k in my stash XD would someone help me get some moneys ?
Just do some scav runs on customs and loot stashes thats what im doing
Uhh... I just randomly dropped dead, and I was full health. There wasn't even a gunshot anywhere. Is there a way I can at least see more details about how I died? "Head, ears" tells me jack shit
was you a PMC? If you check the health menu at the death screen, you can hover over your body and see what you got hit by
my tarkov laucher will not install from the website
where is the best place to get salewas for the quest
craft/barter
where is the best place to get salewas for the quest
@urban thunder Bruh just keep going where we just were, three in one building, i'd be going back every raid lmao
the craft in hideout is super easy
also that
ah
where is the best place to get salewas for the quest
@urban thunder craft in hideout
super cheap
right
i have a USEC stash on customs key and there is none on the market any ideas how much it it worth?
Is there any benefit from using a slanted sight on say m4's and ak's than just equipping it normally on rails?
@wet cipher normal price for it is around 300k
but if there's 0 listed you could try listing it for more, no guarantee on it selling though
help.
first day, fat fingered.
is it more worth to buy RR or just farm shturman
depends how much money u got and how much time u got
what do i do, dedicate myself to being the cheese god? or attempt to rid myself of this sin
its kinda up to u dj
how often do u get rr off of scav boss?
it's rare as shit but idk exactly how rare
@digital raft if you want/need to play reserve now/soon then just buy it
if you're willing to spend potentially a really really long time on woods first then farm it
but the barter really isn't that much
the barter is cheaper btw
pretty sure it's 3
really
yeah it's 3
oh it is
i needa grind for it then
i feel like D2 is generally better for reserve tho tbh
eh, cliff is generally faster to get to and probably safer overall
tru
Anyone available to do a beginner US server run on Customs?
Anyone available to do a beginner US server run on Customs?
@short echo there are no beginner servers... but in general just refer to your location as NA (north america)
just to make it easiest
Pretty sure you know what I meant, no? I'm a beginner lookin for training on a NA server. I'm well aware this game provides no "beginner servers"
My bad on nomenclature. I'm new to the Discord
I've been trying solo SCAV and PMC runs for too long. I need a sensei
So to speak
The aim on freaking shturman is insane...ffs bs
I should really capture the bullshit this game produces lol
@short echo You're cleary intelligent, but you're wording was a bit vague and misleading.. but based on the way you typed there, ill assume you wont have much issue learning this game
can anyone help me with the flea market, i just got it
i dont understand how to sell
I can help. Want to jump in a voice and stream it to me?
Yes
im in 2 man 7
Whenever i click install on the EFT site nothing happens at all
What ammo is good for MP9?
Eh, depends on how much you wanna drop on it
Luger CCI for leg meta, AP 6.3/7N31 for headshots
ive only got one magazine for it
Im downloading the game right now and would like to have a teammate to introduce me to the game
@ocean drum What region are you?
okay i could probably do a run or two with you
Depends how long it takes you to download
Oh its done
was anyone just on a run in interchange, came across a hatchet runner at the start who you let live, killed scavs to let me loot then players etv
giving me graphics cards etc
they r for kappa
?
o
the biggest one in the game
ye haha
and im wondering how i get jaeger?
Do mechanic quest to unlock quest to unlock Jaeger
okay
It's after the mp153 mod quest I think
After that quest you unlock hell
NEED HELP LEARNING CUSTOMS
lfh on interchange (first wipe), frequently get lost there, just need to visit all the stores for ragman's quest
Apparently the electric stores in Interchange have gas analyzers often spawning in them.
Will save me a lot of time doing therapists' quest.
Anyone doing another training assistance
are bitcoin farms worth
@warm harness Front shelves in Oli. If not, check the filing cabinets.
@short star yes. Passive income.
anyone around that can help me get the game launcher installed. the button doesn't work
The button to run the BSG launcher setup or the install/play button within the bsg launcher? @languid rain
Anyone doing a SCAV run?
https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile this website ๐ฎ
it also came in the email confirmation of pre order
how much does level 1 give in terms of money?
@short star it gives you a bitcoin every 12 hours if you have 10 GPUs in it.
wait how about 1 gpu
How do I play this game lol
hold w
lol I got that part but in general what is the obj and such I friend told me to buy it and he will show a brother how to play and he aint on lol
if I wanna kill scavs, should I get an sks or a mosin
I'm only level 5 btw
I got PS rounds in my sks
but I also have a mosin
either is fine really
its really preference. Mosin is bolt action while the sks is semi
get an SKS for scav killing
both kill in one shot if I get a headshot right
if they don't have armor
or a very weak helmet
also
I got 2 OFZ shells from stream drops, should I sell them or keep them
yeah it's pretty good in my experience, it just takes a long time to reload
yeah
Anyone able to help me really fast with the Task Introduction, I get lost easily/get killed
@sacred swift get a map of customs
online
try to get used to the map first
and focus on killing scavs, you can avoid pmc's for now
This task is for unlock Jaeger in woods
do i still need this quest done to get kappa
The survivalist path - Zatoichi
even though that quest was removed from the game and i still have it
@short star go into an offline raid or restart game
I have watched some streams and vids but I need help.
What are good spots to kill scavs in woods?
Scav house and lumber are my top 2 spots
i was flashed and got a kill just now but it didnt count..
You need the enemy to be flashed
yo is a OFZ 30x160mm thing a good idea to sell
lol my first day on tarkov was great i got a teir 4 armored scav with headphones and got my way out
can anyone hellp me with tasks and getting armor and some weapons?
@bold kernel thats the other quest named controller and you have to flash 3 pmc a kill them
it's only 2 for controller
yeah and am stuck on this second last quest
when are they gonna wipe tarkov again
Start of next year, with release of Streets of Tarkov most likely.
Just got workbench 3, what to craft for profit? been doing wires
@distant obsidian Make gunpowders to make igolnik rounds
just buy the blue ones, make the green and red ones
@bold kernel It doesn't have to be your flash grenade that blinds them--
Take in a team of 4 other players; and have all of you+your teammates flash grenade every enemy pmc you see with numerous grenades; just make sure you kill them while they are 'flashed' :)
"FLASH OUT"
The literal SUN comes down on your enemies.
If you wanna make it worse bring a flashlight; ontop of the zarya's your gunna make players legit blind; their monitors gunna get a dead pixel or some shit shit from the brightness LOL
is there anyway to speed up peacekeeper to level 2?
weren't you able to cheese it somehow
you can buy something from him then sell it back
keep repeating it till you get to the money limit
can I get anything good from the scav gas station in customs
the one above construction
cuz frankly I'm bored of following my friends and only doing safe runs, I feel like I'm not gaining or learning anything
if you want to get good at gunfights reserve and woods are good places to start. reserve has better loot out of the two
aight
i'd recommend starting with scav runs so you are risking less at first while learning
@civic fjord Just buy $ from him
You'll need em 'soon' anyway
my scav spawned in with a labs keycard
and I extracted
should I sell on flea market or keep?
I already have 2 keycards that aren't found in raid
plus I'm super new so idk if labs is a good idea
Youre gonna need like 3 found in raid ones for a quest eventually
aight then
but if you need the money sell it
any tips for hitting lvl 10? i can kill scavs ez but its the players with full auto weapons and good armor that destroy me.
Persistence
im close im at lvl 8.
@somber thunder I only have 100k
Just do tasks, I'm also new and also had this problem, but focusing on tasks really helped when I couldn't get any PMC kills since you get nice xp from them
@frozen lance questing will give you nice chunks of exp... killing beefy players is extremely hard for players at your level based on what's available to you
also, headshots give you 150 extra exp, so try to kill scavs with headshots
okay just had a game where i was planning to rat it out cause im broke and i heard a guy kill a scav close to me reload his gun and walk in the room im in and knew exactly where i was i had 0 chance. there was two of them. i walked maybe 5 feet then crouched and stood still. how did he know where i was
off the spawn in factory
Cause the 5 feet is enough for some people
Also, people check spawns
And there arent many spots to be
whats a good map to rat/kill scavs with a pistol
ive bled like 400k buying 74us/sks armor and helms
Uhhh...
Interchange, Shoreline, maybe Customs
where should i go on interchange?
i always die buy someone sniping in a bush on customs and shhoreline
okay ty
There is no guaranteed spot
Uhh, avoid people, play as the Scavanger that you are.
Use your Scav friends as early alert systems
so yesterday i got the game, and i watched some video's on youtube. THey all say that i need to learn 1 map, but i have no idea which map. So any recommendation for a complete beginner
You need to learn 2 maps really. Customs has the early quests so that and then one more that is easier to loot like interchange
Thanks, ill go try em out in offline
And I don't mean it is easy to run in the middle and tech stores for big loot. Small but more reliable gains with hitting the backs of the big stores and oli
do any of the hideout items need to be found in raid
sweet i can sell everything yay thanks
cool just killed somone then went too loot them and they exploded
did they prime a grenade or something?
School starts in 2 days, will i reach lvl 10?
lvl 10 you can get in 5 houres easy
@frozen lance
Probably wanted to throw a grenade just as you shot them.
Yeah.
Grenade will drop and still explode
The pin is out after all :)
Just dont rush your kills
good idee is to take 30to 60sec befor runing to a body and relocate
if there is 1 there probly a 2cond
Either Im dumb, or making moonshine isnt profitable. 80k~ ea for 2 sugar, 160k. and 80k~ for super water is 240k. and moonshine sells for under 240k. ๐ค
Why am I building a booze maker? ๐ญ
So you have your Hideout finished ๐
Also.
Remember: Barters exist, looting exists
is there a way to not die to scavs that see through bushes
Running away and finding hard cover
so get another angle on it
probably should have thought of that
but still the devs need to fix the scavs seeing through bushes
Might want to shoot the scav then ๐
I mean... yes.. and no-ish
They need to make them less accurate through them
But they can still see (or hear!) you through them and shoot
yeah
i was shooting the bush though
bushes
also what are water filters used for
for filtering water ;)
Its to make super water in water lvl 3
ok
what close range sight is good?
Weaver
pk06 is a bit expensive
If you use Pk06, might as well invest 10k more and use the Valday, 1x/6x
yeah i bought the pk already, just cuz i wanna try to go as full gear and do one mission
In the end its up to what you like and what you can afford
'good' is very subjective in scopes
yeah i feel like I'm gonna try this one rounds as full gear to do mission kill 8 pmcs in factory offices, if i faill ill prob wait till wipe with this game
imo pk-06 is better than valday cos when u zoom in with valday for a second there is black screen and it has killed me before
rn i have like 34k left, had over 1,2 mil earlier today but kept just dying to squads
@serene adder Wipe will be a few months tho :P
Use the time to learn the game
I heard its in october, like 3 weeks, i bought the game week ago but now i got nothing left
it wont be in 3 weeks
100% not in October xD
it will be longer
And grinding few mats to always is just.. not really good
Start of year, at earliest
And even that is a guess
To always die with it *
Well.
You are neither the first, nor the last to start midwipe.
I did last wipe.
Was my first one too.
I still managed
Gotta learn and improve.
Dont give up ๐
I didn't wanna give up but now I'm thinking about it
90% of the matches i just ran with pistol and when i took gear it was always squads killing me or random 1 taps
And having some progress is important for me, i can't do any progress with jaeger's tasks, its too Hard
Eh, I didnt care much about Jรคger last wipe either.
Nor this one, even if I got further
He got really good stuff to offer especially flechette rounds
no offers like ever, checked 6 times, never been there
plus when there were flechette rounds its like 1k per round, jaeger sells 1 per 77 so yeah
i tried the ap slugs and its so bad to hipfire with it
You... dont hipfire with slugs.
Might wanna try Buckshot then?
thats why i prefer flechette rounds, you can hip fire easily
i did, so low armor pen, hit dude with 6 shots and he got only 45 damage, 265 absorbed by armor
Then hit spots that arent covered by armor, thats what it is for.
One shot needs to hit the face, dead
rip ammunition is good for limbs
Flechette also needs like... 5+ shots against decent armor, which most people will have
Magnum Buckshot is equally good, if not better cause cheaper ๐
Also, RIP for shotguns is a slug and you dont seem to like them
yeah slug is just not my thing
So. Buckshot ๐
As a level 3, is it worth upgrading the hideout or using the money for something else? I currently have the medstation and security.
Up to you.
You can use the medstation (with power -> generator + fuel) to make Salewas for the first quest as example
@forest cargo IF you find yourself hoarding and unable to keep a handle on the amount of loot in your stash, upgrade.
It's unlikely that the game will wipe this year. so if you upgrade, you'll see how big the EOD level stash is, how the bitcoin farm shits out passive income for you. You can make meds and ammo to make your life easier.
Thank you guys, I have been saving money for a couple days and my stash is pretty full
Thank you!
Upgrading the Stash in the Hideout isnt worth past lvl 2 tho, rather get item cases
Ah got it, how much are they worth around?
Lemme check
Item is around 1.7-1.9 million IIRC
depends
its good to have container for everything honestly, i was super glad that i got junkbox container
Thank you very much for all of your help!
Hey guys does someone wanna help me out?
I bought the game late Friday night and the install button appeared on my profile but when I click the install it never starts the download
@forest cargo Junkbox, lvl 2 Therapist -> 1.9mil - flea -> 800k
medscase, lvl 3 therapist -> 533k - flea -> 290k
Items, lvl 3 therapist -> 14241โฌ (2million roubles roughly)
Ammo, lvl 2 mechanic -> 173k - flea -> 170k~
Thats only the ones you can buy with money, there are barters for these too
@languid flare do you know any fixes for my issue?
No, I dont, else I'd have answered you already. Try #community-support
Ok thanks
anyone willing to help me With tasks btw I am on the younger side of the community and no I am not annoying please shoot me a dm
welp i have played the game a little bit like 3 months ago and got pretty much no where so I'm looking for help on how to at least function in the game lol so if anyone wouldn't mind teaching me the basics of how to play the game that'd be great
Got my first million roubles, and my storage is fuller than full.
looking for someone to run raids with.
dustie lvl from age and mony runs or qwest
im only lvl 5 but im down forever just looking for people to play with.
27 an na
@jovial radish @fallen cargo wanna run with me and a friend I am level 5 he is like level 4
i can help you guys later
ok
@slow hearth I do a lot of hdden stash runs on Scav, they got me the 1 mil.
add me i dont like to big groups
ok
I just ignore busy areas where people often PVP, stick to the outskirts and just sell everything I got and repeat it every 15 min.
Maybe that'll help you, mate.
@languid flare Thank you very much!
im new anyone wanna help me out?
yes
hey im very new to the game can someone teach me?
Same Pizza
may we find a teacher
I wish I asked yesterday but to no avail lol but we can run scavs or offline mode to train if you want
yea sure!!
imma join if you guys dont mind
haha 6 mins
Just a note:
Cant run Offline with someone else. Solo only.
Kinda implied by 'Offline' ๐
Doin reserve , dont know it very well , but i know it kinda
Reserve where all the Chad's be
Not necessairly
reserve can be rat heaven
Is it better to adjust the game audio or adjust the windows audio to hear the best as currently running the game at 100% Windows volume and in game 50% i have tried going to 60% but it feels too much of a jump and the game dose not allow to go 55%
Why not have both at 100
ah yes i hate my hearing
Use a reciever
anyone have some tips for spotting people on customs, because i am having a hard time surviving
I'd probably say game volume 100%
Well im not going to run out and buy something i have never worked with but il try putting the game on 100 and adjust windows volume so i dont make my ears bleed.
It will def be easier to adjust on the fly
@leaden glade turn off any windows surround sound or dolby digital surround or wtvr; just have it as stereo for tarkov
That isnt the problem
its just that im used to games with way clearer sounds as its their game mechanic while here is realistic as playable.
as you level up perception you can hear people further fyi; footsteps etc
Like i dont want to be deaf after im done playing.
but i feel that; its probably a receiver thing but I wouldnt want to dampen any noises
that is what the headsets are for ingame
@median sequoia Yeah the 100% worked and putting on 25 windows volume sounds better and not yet completely ear deafening.
Ya should be clearer
Is customs a newb friendly map, because i feel like i get killed every second
generally it is but a lot of people are running it because the expansion to the map is still pretty fresh
Is there an even friendlier map?
Yeah
Thats what I thought
Because I killed 2 people and I wasnt wearing a scav vest
Now that I know that, Im probably gonna farm shoreline
Unless Im abusing a bug
nah we all do it
I doubled up on my shotgun kills for prapor and memed arund with a mp153 and pockets full of magnum buck in the resort with balaclava and scav vest ๐คฃ
i didnt need the scav vest but it was a budget choice great for shotguns
I find killa to be the easiest boss
I mean once you find him
Hes not that hard considering he doesnt have guards
ay dudes am i the only person getting performance issues lately?
seems after 1 raid at 70+ fps (reserve) the next one is 54
ay dudes am i the only person getting performance issues lately?
@turbid anvil no there are so many i dont even knwo where to start
emphasis on >lately
before i had 70+ consistently (again on reserve)
its just really annoying, died so many times cause its like a slideshow
(a quick slideshow, but a slideshow nonetheless)
what do :/
I wouldn't say that I'd still agree that killa is the easiest in terms of fighting him
Reshala has guards, of which can spawn with Altyn's and armored rigs(Class 4) so in terms of fighting Killa is the easiest
That really differs from person to person, location and current situation.
Anyone trying to run some raids
what region are you in
na
customs?
down for whatever
what lvl are you
5
im there
someone have a good spot for m3 armour?
scavs
FiR? On the filing cabinets in factorys office but good luck on that one ๐คฃ Id rather run a map I like until I find a scav with one; or craft it in your lavatory @vast ivy
can someone help me do a succsesfull raid on customs, i just keep on dying
Coochie, there are several spots on Factory where they can spawn.
If you go in with a cheap kit and run out when you find one, that's fine for you I guess.
@solid palm which server?
europe
lfg customs 4?
sure
There are also some Custom spawns for 3m (And paca)
anyone EU tryna run debut etc?
Hey guys, new player here. I was wondering if there were any guides or anything for new players that someone could direct me to.
pestily on youtube
basically anyone on youtube for that matter, just search the topic you're curious about
Pestily for sure, 100%
How much is beta container? Is it worth it?
Its around 2 million now, more towards 4mil early wipe
Worth?
Depends
You can get the Epsilon by doing a Quest (Punisher Part 6), which is 2 slots bigger (2x4)
If you think you can do that Quest? No.
If you dont think you can do it? Maybe. Depends on your spare money.
@celest sage
I have like a mil but Iโm going to try to get a few more this weekend
Could someone explain why the scope adjustment & hold breath key are the same?
And when I try to change the key to hold my breath, it will inevitably collide with another existing bind on that key or just not work.
Holding breath is just Shift
@warm harness There are four ways to call the command to function listed beside the keybind itself
example : Press-Hold-Double Press and Release (toggle)
Release
Yea; one of them feels like a toggle I may have it wrong in the list above but if your keybind is already mapped to the same function then it will rebind the other key as you explain in these messages
And when I try to change the key to hold my breath, it will inevitably collide with another existing bind on that key or just not work.
@warm harness
It activates when you release the key
Pressing the key will not activate the function; releasing it will @warm harness
LALT is cancer
Ah, right. That makes absolutely no sense at all why its bound like that, but I'll work around it I suppose.
I have 3 hold breath buttons LOL
@warm harness Once you see the complexity of the control scheme; maybe you can appreciate the options tarkov gives
with that said I cant think of when 'release' is good except for grenade throws
Never made an bad frag, but I dont wanna be responsible for one ๐
A literal GG ๐
^ actually cool if I remap my grenade button im making that joke
Hehe
No matter where I toggle it to, I still am not able to hold my breath.
Guess I'll just say fuck-all to sniper rifles and go to Customs.
Why is sicc case better than docs? Just dogtags?
also bigger
5x5 instead of 4x4
It holds different things
So some maps a docs might be better
Anyone know where you claim your insured weapons? I lost some last night but his a couple so they def should be found
I know this was last night
I got the messages that he sent people to look for them
And its 24-36h
Pretty sure if you use prapor to insure it takes 24-36 hour
Ah
@celest sage Also, yes, Sicc is more expensive
anyone want to help me unlock jager
would someone mind helping me organize my inventory? my shit is getting full and idk what to keep or sell
LF Help just need to visit the stores in interchange for ragman's quest and extract
@languid flare are you referring to me?

Anybody have a high res image of quest items to keep?
Ty yeah thats the one i got
!wiki Quests
Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a large part of Escape from Tarkov.
There are currently 201 quests in Escape from Tarkov. Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places.
Quests are the fastest way of gaining EXP. Completing one will often reward you with experience points, trader reputation, money, valuable loot, rare containers, and unlock the purchase of new items.
<.<
Is peacekeeper the cheapest place to buy beta container?
pretty sure he's the only place to buy a beta container
next best option is to complete the punisher series of quests from prapor and get the epsilon, which is 1x2 longer than the beta
It is the only place for Beta, yes.
Or buying prepare for escape
I mean, sure. Throw real money at your problems.
Just informing people no need to judge other peopleโs financial decisions
@celest sage don't buy Beta
It's a waste of money when you can just get Epsilon
It's 3-4 mil for a case that has 2 more slots.
But like Iโm not sure if I can actually do punisher
No other way to find out unless you actually do it.
@celest sage not with that attitude!
can anybody help me organize my inventory
who needs help i dont have anything better to do dm me
who needs help im bored as fuck DM me.
@true timber Stop running shoreline for money if you're lower level, there's not a great amount of loot on the map
Until you can afford better kits and have the keys to the resort
who needs help i dont have anything better to do dm me
@drifting jolt i have keys
@true timber You do not need to find ledx to make great money my friend... i have 1000 hours in the game and havent found 1, and i have all the keys to get em
i just never use em
scav efficiently... specifically interchange... reserve if youre not scared of raiders
@true timber I said scav there for $... Also your odds are not greater to run into big beefy boys on one map more than others, besides reserve and labs..
theres so many places to hide on interchange
that if you know the map you can generally escape fairly easily to a hiding spot
i need any help i can get i'm completely new to the game if anyone is willing to help me that be amazing just dm me
can anyone help me build a good mp9
suppressor
sight
grip
dbal
done
@short star
any help for killing killa?
uh
is there a budget version of that>
im kind of broke
sorry though i should have specified
Is there like a map and compass somewhere.
Or just, literally anything to help new players find out where the fuck they're going.
compass is getting added in next big update
Ah great.
@wide oak maps are on the wiki
any mf wanna run duo so i dont get insta wiped and can actually have fun?
preferable good at the game with good gear
because i cannot for the life of me figure out where people are, how to find people, where people are in a fight or extracts
i am good at aiming and shooting however
basically as soon as i know where they are im alright but before that point is a rio
scavs
dm me if you need help with anything im bored af
wait
do you lose all the stuff
if your game crashes mid loot transfer for a scav run
Unfortunately yes
@short star you should have all of your loot on your next scav, I believe.
what's the best way to get a gas analyzer for the quest
interchange
^
can anyone give me a good budget adar build that doesnt require level 2 traders and above?
If I kill 1 scav as a scav myself, will every other scav in the map attack me or only the ones that saw/heard me?
dm me if you need help with anything im bored af
@short star normal Adar with scope works fine if you donโt have traders, or just play around with some cheap attachments in the preset menu
anyone want to run a duo im still very new
no
anyone want to duo with me im still new
looking for someone to help teach shoreline to me and my friend
how do i stop being a fucking rat
does anyone want to help me? i just bought the game. DM if interested please!
@spare tundra okay thank you. i was unsure if i should post here because im a beginner
You can certainly ask for assistance with things you don't understand or need help with, but just looking for people to help you play the game overall would be looking fora group to play with in general :P
^
@grand robin i recommend watching videos and asking questions before raiding with people..... It's just going to be a game of follow the leader
Look up 'tips and tricks' videos for beginners and things like that
so I came across a body with guns with a ton of attachments, a good backpack and an altyn
but since I'm new I don't even know if I should use that gear
There is a beginners assistance lfg channel well actually 3 of them you can give those a try @grand robin
People are usually helpful in those
And jeo chad out brother
Yeah I learnt maps solo pick a map after some research and stick to it
Following the leader isn't really gona help you learn the map
@dapper dagger big bags are fairly easy to come by. The altyn is top tier but you won't hear shit wearing it. It can stop headshots quite realiably against non-chads. But chads will have ammo that can pierce it more quickly.
Altyn are a good meme
