beginners-assistance

[copper shale]

...Yeah I looked at that already.

Don't see the worth in it.

[raven gazelle]

ye so u will see that it crafts stuff

[copper shale]

Or is the military something rare?

[raven gazelle]

COFDM is a quest item

so is the defib

[copper shale]

Ah okay.

[cinder hound]

Lol

Beginners who refuse help

Good luck buddy have fun shootinf ur brains out

[fast rivet]

^

[cinder hound]

They literally dont know how hard of a time they gonna have

[drifting jolt]

This game is like doing your own circumcision if you have 0 help

[stable mural]

hi can anyone help?

[drifting jolt]

what's up?

[stable mural]

so I was near these cars place. Where I jumped to a box and jumped around the fence. It's a very famous place. Where was I on the map? Can you tell. The near extraction was Train to Port

[bold kernel]

Anyone wanna help me out im new to the game

anyone wanting to duo im oce and new to the game?

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel someone should be along... id help but im going to bed.. good luck!

start on customs

[bold kernel]

Thanks

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel bullets do damage in tarkov not the guns... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VuxGkweKB118mF1kcBmVPe-Bj_gSKGOCWyoytM4miDU/edit#gid=64053005

theres a bullet guide

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs

https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov

there's 2 different sets of maps, whichever you prefer

[bold kernel]

thanks

[limber crown]

What is the best map for loot, ignoring the fact that I am begining

[heavy rivet]

reserve is really good but hard to master

interchange is good for loot and probably easier to learn you can find lots of tech loot

[ancient falcon]

Does it take ages to level up skills now?

[limber crown]

How is lab, I always see people playing lab

[heavy rivet]

labs is for people who have played a ton

you have to pay at least 150k to go in

if you dont have therapist level 4 its like 200k

[limber crown]

o ok

[heavy rivet]

then you need to bring gear which you cant get back in insurance

so thats a while away yet xD

[limber crown]

and what makes interchange so good

or where is the good loot

[heavy rivet]

graphics card and tetriz in the tech stores although theyre contested but also fuel in the hardware stores and other things like fuel conditioner etc

[limber crown]

aight ty

[heavy rivet]

then reserve has raiders and tech loot as well i guess if you wanted to make safe money you get a backpack and find a map for hidden stashes on shoreline and run around

ive head people making money of that

[limber crown]

I've done some of that but it isnt very enjoyable lmao

[heavy rivet]

yeah thats what i think too

if you wanna get better at pvp probably scav reserve try fight raiders it can be very rewarding gear wise and you can get better with the mechanics

[ancient falcon]

so I kill a scav and healed. Then peaked and a random one spawned right where he died and 1 shotted me first shot

what a shit game

[raven gazelle]

dont blame the game bro

[heavy rivet]

i doubt he spawned he probably just walked around the corner or something lmao

[fallen cargo]

lol that wil happen scave span 2/3times in game

[ancient falcon]

then there is no sound

it was about 10 metres in front of me

[fallen cargo]

are you whereing head phones

[ancient falcon]

I was listening

yep a $300 headphone

[raven gazelle]

in game headphones

lol

[fallen cargo]

there no 300

[ancient falcon]

in game yes

[fallen cargo]

oke a scave alwas yels befor he shoots

and if you go around a corner you got 1/2sec befor he shoots

[ancient falcon]

I recorded it as well. He just spawned there. I didn't hear any footsteps

I'm beginning to realise why I stopped playing this game a while back

he didn't yell. Just side walked and 1 tapped me in the head

[stone moss]

coulda been a player and scavs don't necessarily yell

[ancient falcon]

he was moving very much like a bot

[fallen cargo]

in 90%of the times they do

[ancient falcon]

that slow and straight turn

[fallen cargo]

wow whats your lvl

[stone moss]

If you had time ot watch all that you had time to shoot him

[raven gazelle]

does it matter u died in the game get over it

omg

[hasty latch]

I just blast everything that moves to save confusion

[stone moss]

Me too... my teammates don't like it much =\

[fallen cargo]

lol w8 til the carma sistem starts then

[hasty latch]

Oh and @stone moss lend me some bitcoins

[raven gazelle]

?

[stone moss]

But m4 barter tho...

[ancient falcon]

level 7 atm @fallen cargo I played last wipe and got to 50 or something

[fallen cargo]

so yea not new any more

[ancient falcon]

Just never played much this wipe since the game kept crashing and dcing me at the start

so i gave up on it

just came back to see how it is

@stone moss I was healing and peaked

[fallen cargo]

the crashes are cus you get ping kickt probl

[ancient falcon]

so I went back to cover to finish

[raven gazelle]

well theres ur problem

lol

[ancient falcon]

equiped gun and peaked and 1 tapped

[raven gazelle]

why would u heal and peak 😆

[stone moss]

Yah the scav will lock on you. Double peak is bad

[ancient falcon]

because HE SPAWNED THERE

[stone moss]

Also if you are tagged and cursed they will agro on you and have better aim

[ancient falcon]

can they still know where you are if there back is towards you?

[stone moss]

Yes

They can hear you and if you are tagged and cursed they can detect you through buildings and shit

[ancient falcon]

lolol

cursed?

is that a new thing?

[stone moss]

It has been in a wipe or two now

If you don't go in with a gun and either body armor and a spare mag or a rig and spare mag, you become tagged and cursed

Also if you sit in one spot for too long you will be tagged and cursed by the scavs in your general area

[ancient falcon]

oh no I was lightly geared

pistol armor headphones bag tac and ak

[stone moss]

Then idk unless you were sitting there for a few minutes.

but ima be honest

scavs do freekey crap sometimes.

[ancient falcon]

lol one was just q and eing to me

[stone moss]

Like headshot you across the map with a toz

[ancient falcon]

omg

aren't toz really shit?

[stone moss]

yep

but scavs can dome you with dat buckshot at range sometimes real easy

[ancient falcon]

can players even do that?

[stone moss]

with some luck maybe

[ancient falcon]

thought that shit is useless at range

[stone moss]

it can still kill but it is tricky to aim it and its somewhat randomish

i have more trouble with shotgun scavs than sniper scavs

and some of those sniper scavs can potentially 1 tap you

But yea, game is hard, sometimes a bit wonkey, but the AI is nothing to take lightly.

I would not say to give up though unless you really don't like the game. Not sure what region you are, but I could join you for some raids potentially.

[ancient falcon]

very wonkey at times

true

[versed light]

Is there someone who could help with missions? Im lvl 12 not entirely new

[stone moss]

What mission and what region are you, chugo?

[fast lintel]

what should i keep and what should i sell?

only lvl 3 dont have flea market yet

[stone moss]

amxn i will call you

[dapper flume]

hi i just got the game and im getting destroyed everytime i go on a run anyone can help?

[upper gorge]

I don't have much advice other than you'll eventually get a feel for the game. I recommend the map customs, it's relatively easy to learn. Audio is super important in this game. I'm sure someone here would be willing to go on a run with you and show you the ropes

[stone moss]

scalez, what region are you?

[vast forge]

anybody up playing my first rounds with me

[bold kernel]

@fast lintel sell that riot helmet

[stone moss]

I helped ax out

[vast ivy]

does anyone have a tip to spend 11k on peackeeper easily

[pine sail]

I just bought a bunch of m9s then sold them but thats probably a stupid way to do it

I normally just sell things to him instead of mechanic or skier

[ember pendant]

buy 11k dollars

you'll need them later on for quest.

[vast ivy]

but then il be bankrupt

[ember pendant]

That's the most efficient way. He doesn't really buy stuff for good money.

[pine sail]

Yea hes kind of a douche

[ember pendant]

so you're typically better selling it to other traders and using that money to buy $$s

[vast ivy]

i mean ssds are 510 usd

[ember pendant]

Also, you wont be bankrupt. You'll be dollar rich 🙂

[vast ivy]

nop i have 1 mil

cant even buy 9k

[ember pendant]

Sounds like you need to make some dinero friend

[vast ivy]

is there a easy way to get mone?

[stone moss]

dont die

[vast ivy]

and also i dont know how to do mechanic m133 moding quest can someone help me

[stone moss]

i would google it for the wiki page

makes those quests real easy

[silver sparrow]

yeah fr especially when you get flea market

and you usually make back whatever you spend

[drifting kernel]

ap-20 be like

[frozen lance]

wow

my extract isnt working?

[strong barn]

ruaf on customs?

[frozen lance]

yes

just counts down then nothing

[strong barn]

go to trailer park or crossroads its a common bug or staythere after the timer dissappears and you should poof away

[frozen lance]

i hope

doing a quest and i have fat loot

nope i died

[strong barn]

if u dont poof after 10-20s just move to trailer park

oof well

[frozen lance]

missing in action

wtf

thats bullshit

[strong barn]

timer was at 00:00?

fail

LOL

[frozen lance]

i got their with 3 mins to go and wasted 2 mins wondering why it didnt work

i havent been mad at this game until now

[strong barn]

well after 120s Id say its on you to have not have decided it isnt working and try a different one but

GG i guess

[frozen lance]

docs case, 2 dogtags, 2 of the 4 markers done

kitted guns

kiver helmet with the mask

im fucking pissed

[strong barn]

poor time management

[frozen lance]

?????

[strong barn]

it happends 🤷

You have 45m to cross Customs and it takes around 7m to cross the map
if after waiting at RUAF for 2-3m or 120s-160s and not realizing 'it isnt going to work'
it sounds like poor time management

[coarse oxide]

Yeah man, thats on you

Ruaf isnt a very good ex to begin

[strong barn]

It sucks realizing you are the problem rather than the game; hate the player not the game is the saying lmfao

RUAF is broken so not really your fault but still your fault either way

[frozen lance]

idk sounds like bs to me if anything shoiuld work its the extracts

[strong barn]

As it says at RUAF Roadblock on the tank
Welcome to Tarkov

[frozen lance]

either my leg was blcked so

[coarse oxide]

Ruaf is a very active area to begin with. I would rather go to any other extract

[frozen lance]

blacked

[strong barn]

If you didn't have painkillers to deal with that and spent 120-160s (your words not mine) waiting at RUAF and not leaving
Im sorry but that is completely your fault

[coarse oxide]

Crossroads is a god teir extract imo

[solid palm]

anyone wanna help me out with doing some tasks?

EU servers

[coarse oxide]

No can do. Im NA

[frozen lance]

idk if i could have limped anywhere else and i had painkillers but i useed them

but you right my fault the game bugged lol

[coarse oxide]

Meej im not too familiar w/ customs but probs could have gone crossroads

[frozen lance]

yeah maybe if i left right when it didnt work the first time but i enever even knew that ruaf was bugged like that

[coarse oxide]

Also always try to extract w/ 10 left cuz shit happens

[frozen lance]

yeah i tried and shit ahppened

[vast ivy]

should i spend almost all my money and get 6.5k for peacekeeper lvl2?

anyone?

[stone moss]

I would suggest not doing that

[vast ivy]

why tho

[stone moss]

Just sell him valuables and guns and do the barters.

Because you can buy more with rubles than USD lol

[vast ivy]

but its gonna take like a alot

[stone moss]

Well if you don't care about blowing through your rubles then go for it

You can always buy pistols or something from him and sell them back to him

That way it isn't a complete loss

[blissful frost]

which scav case option is the best for pure profit?

[reef loom]

none

maybe the 500 roubles one

you wont make any back unless you get extremely lucky

otherwise you turn 350k roubles into 260k crap

[hot bear]

Guys what should i sell

?

[reef loom]

thermometers

fcond

[languid flare]

H2o2, aabat, plier matches, crickent, usba, poxeram, soap, zippo, TP, cleaner and big wd40, green bat

Rest is needed for quest/hideout

Thermometers, maybe, its a late thing in hideout I guess.
Fcond is needed FiR for a ragman quest (4)

[hot bear]

thx

[vast ivy]

anyone know how to do introduction quest

[hot bear]

You mean kill 5 scavs?

[upper gorge]

Like the first quest or the quest called introduction?

[hot bear]

[vast ivy]

ik but i dont know the map woods

@hot bear no not gunsmith quests the one where you get jaeger

[sour fjord]

You'll need to use a map for the fist dozen or so raids on every raid.

[vast ivy]

woods map is crap

[hot bear]

tf that one

havnt done that

my bad

for not understanding you

[upper gorge]

ok can someone please explain to me how I can do 488 damage to one person and they're still alive? or are they just a fucking cheater?

[hot bear]

armor

You need good ammo

[vast ivy]

armour,heals cms bandages @upper gorge

[hot bear]

NOT THAT SHIT PS STUFF

[bold kernel]

is 5.56 PS ammo pretty good for early raids? lvl 1-10

@vast ivy N

[vast ivy]

[bold kernel]

whats the best value gun for lvl 8

[young holly]

probably an sks with ps ammo or some kind of AK variant with bp/bt that low

ammo > guns

[stone moss]

Depends

[sour fjord]

@bold kernel, a VEPR in 7.62x39 off a scav. Value is best when you yoink a gun, not buy it.

[bold kernel]

ok thanks

[cloud rover]

Just be mindful to not put .366 in your 7.62 mag...

[bold kernel]

[quaint kraken]

is there anything i should do with a roler other than to sell it on flea?

[slender vapor]

keep some if you want scav case

needs like 4 iirc

[quaint kraken]

whats that?

[slender vapor]

Basically gambling

You pay scavs

[quaint kraken]

doesnt seem worth it then

[slender vapor]

They go out and get stuff, you can make a lot or lose a lot

Eh I’ve made a few million

[quaint kraken]

is it profitable?

[slender vapor]

And it’s good for quest items Bc all are fir

I’d say so

[quaint kraken]

i'm kinda broke rn so selling shit would help me as well

ooh

[hollow hazel]

looking for experienced players to teach me how to play (I'm lvl 13), how to make money and best ways to approach certain situations. (dm me if you want to help) (EU)

[sour fjord]

I'm so glad I thought to save all my tech junk. I totally forgot about this quest.

[harsh swallow]

hi y'all anyone wanna help me run customs to finish some tasks 😄 ?

[drifting jolt]

@quaint kraken At this juncture there isnt much reason for you to keep rolers bro

[quaint kraken]

okie gonna sell it then

[drifting jolt]

Down the line if you find more, sure keep em, but now nah

[quaint kraken]

just did two more tasks in dorms i feel proud of myself

[drifting jolt]

very nice dude

some of the beginner tasks in dorms

are actually a pain cause you get wrecked by chads

[quaint kraken]

sprayed the shit out of a player but i just wanted to get out with tasks done

after raid screen said i did 372 damage

maybe i should've kept going at him

[drifting jolt]

But if you get those first few out of the way then you'll starting getting other tasks ohn other maps now

[quaint kraken]

are actually a pain cause you get wrecked by chads
@drifting jolt yea,i just did chemical pt 2 and pharmacist

oh shit 4 more tasks at once

[drifting jolt]

you'll have like 10-15+ tasks at a time soon enough

[quaint kraken]

huh,skier just like sent me a message when i accepted a therapist task

[drifting jolt]

yeah...

[quaint kraken]

"kind of sabotage"

[drifting jolt]

you can turn that quest in to either one

I cant remember the benefits of turning into one of them over the other

but i do know whichever one you dont give it to you lose rep for

[quaint kraken]

oh skier gives me way more money

like 190k instead of 73500

[drifting jolt]

you may wanna youtube that one just in case

[quaint kraken]

yea i'll do that in a sec

[drifting jolt]

i cant remember if theres a downside to giving it to one of them over the other

[quaint kraken]

4 car batteries?

omfg

i've found like a total of two in my entire tarkov playtime so far

what's the GP and book for?

or should I sell them

[drifting jolt]

The book is one of the items you'll need for the collector quest for kappa

but they're one of the more common items of that set of items

GP is used for a few barters

but ive never used* one of them

[quaint kraken]

okie

also is trooper armor good?

[fast rivet]

yes

repairs so fuckin well

[quaint kraken]

oh boy time to head BACK into factory

stupid syringe with chemical

[drifting jolt]

do it at night

run in, run out

[quaint kraken]

alright

[drifting jolt]

just make sure to hide for a bit, or kill scavs if you dont want a 'run-through'

Or you can run to that room, open it and then close the door behind you and hide in there

99% of the time people wont go in that room

[quaint kraken]

the room in the office corridor right?

[drifting jolt]

yup

it would be boring af

but you could do it one raid that way

go up there with a hatchet, grab the syringe and camp, then go for a poop or something lol

then extract with like 3 minutes left

[quaint kraken]

ah

[elder jacinth]

I can still run it and shoot that caliber, but if i do, whats gonna happen?
is it gonna instantly break xD?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/658063537893146648/762233702637371422/unknown.png

[drifting jolt]

It wont shoot the bullets...

@elder jacinth

[clever rapids]

put bp ammo in it. the bp ammo that like all brown. its probably the cheapest "good" bullet in the game

[elder jacinth]

Bro i have an red rebel

on the right

i know what bp ammo and shit is

and yes

you can shoot the bullets

as i said

you get something bottom right corner saying "warning this gun shoots 7.62 Ammunition"

but nothing else happens

so i was wondered that, if i shoot an entire clip does it break or what

gonna try later

[sour plume]

we literally just told you in the other channel you can't shoot it

and you were answered here immediately after

[elder jacinth]

ill send video after

my raid

[sour plume]

i literally just sent a video showing what happens when you try to shoot .366 out of an sks

[elder jacinth]

Cool

but that was not my question

he shot with the gun on my screen

and you are gonna get that video soon

[sour plume]

the gun probably had normal ammo at the top and had 366 at the bottom for whatever reason

[fast rivet]

whoever it was they're a dumbass

[sour plume]

either way, you cannot shoot 366 out of an sks, or any other 7.62x39 platform, period, no exceptions

just like you can't shoot pmm out of any 9x18 gun other than the klin

[solid palm]

Anyone wanna help me out with my tasks and getting to lvl 10?

EU servers btw

[drifting jolt]

@hollow hazel in a chat now friend, my apologies

[hollow hazel]

ok no problem

[distant obsidian]

best place to get lion and cat statue?

[languid flare]

safes

[topaz mango]

@solid palm i would but u ignored my dms

[sturdy vault]

Hey. I downloaded the Game yesterday and im kinda confused xD. Already watched a beginners guide but at the raids i tried I always died and i only have one pistol left. Would someone help me out a bit at the start ? dont know what to do

[quaint kraken]

i can't help you directly rn,but i think you're better off doing scav runs until you pull something off

[fast rivet]

don't watch twitch streeamers thinking you're going to play exactly like them

you are going to suck till you learn how the game operates

[quaint kraken]

^^^^^^

i'm no good player or anything but i just try my best and have fun,usually stick to routes,strats i've tried before that works

[fast rivet]

@sturdy vault keep at it though man, learn from your deaths, ask specific questions here, you'll be a pro in no time

[quaint kraken]

its got me to level 20 and a very fun time so far

i remember when i was scared shitless of factory,now its actually fun

this game's great man

[fast rivet]

tfw i play this with pretty bad anxiety

[opaque ether]

yep

[fast rivet]

finally gotten to the stage where just doing my thing i'm fine, fights though, sweat my balls off

[quaint kraken]

i don't really get stressed about stuff,at least not much as i used to

[fast rivet]

ye

[quaint kraken]

this did result in me losing a lotta money lately but idc

its way more fun now

[fast rivet]

thats good though

gear fear and other stuff is a bad habit

[quaint kraken]

i used to safely sit around 2 million rubles

now i'm sometimes killing people,getting tasks done,feeling more successful

even though it means i also die more

trying shit out,seeing what works

money well spent

one thing i want to try running is ap20 shotguns

[fast rivet]

do it

good fun

[quaint kraken]

since it's not too expensive either

you need like 20-30 shots at most

with a shotgun

[fast rivet]

and if you play right, thats 20 kills

[quaint kraken]

hehehe good thinking

i wonder if mp153 or saiga tho

[fast rivet]

try both

i like running meme saigas on occassion

[quaint kraken]

i'm just biased towards the saiga 12 cuz mags are handier imo

[fast rivet]

ye

if shotgun speedloaders were a thing i'd use the 153 more

[quaint kraken]

yeah this is on my to-do list

go into dorms with ap20

maybe i'll shoot my first geared player who knows

[fast rivet]

only one way to find out :D

[quaint kraken]

exactly

can't wait to play again some time

only if i had my pc in the weekdays earlier ;-;

need to do an upgrade

[fast rivet]

cries in 1060 gaming laptop

[quaint kraken]

i have a 1050 ti which is p nice but a lacking cpu and no ssd

so i can only play in the weekends where i have access to another pc

it has a 660 ti but better cpu and has an ssd

[fast rivet]

your significant others?

[quaint kraken]

my parents are divorced

i have a pc in both places

[fast rivet]

oh damn

[quaint kraken]

nah its been like this for my entire life lol

it doesnt bother me

they divorced like when i was a year old

[drifting jolt]

AP20 slaps brah

[quaint kraken]

mhm,that's what i've been told

and i once almost got ruined by an AP20 153

[drifting jolt]

theyre accurate at range too

[quaint kraken]

i know from experience

in a way losing so much money feels great because there's some more strictness now

makes the game more fun imo

[drifting jolt]

risk it for the biscuit

[smoky idol]

either use a dovetail sight or u need to put a slot for sight

[fast rivet]

dovetails are only for the akmn and the akmsn though

[steady delta]

oop this is where i ask for help

well im needing a bit of help with a quest on where to go i think im in the right place but it doesnt seem like it lol

[fast rivet]

specifics help a ton

[steady delta]

the extortionist quest

is that cabin thats in the sights not where i need to be?

has it been updated at all because i cant find the thing in there

i have the key i went in but being shot at so i ran lol

yeah i didnt see the jkacket the first time i went in but i did that time lol

so i got confused if i was in the right cabin or not

[vast ivy]

btw i think the extortionist quest has a typo in it

skier says what a biatch

well can someone help me with jaegers introduction quest?

[languid flare]

@steady delta It is in there, it is in the middle under the jacket and you CAN visually see it (albeit it being hard to see, if you dont know it)

[vast ivy]

i need to find it and get the message and extract

[languid flare]

Yep, its near the crashed plane in the hunting stand on the ground below it

[steady delta]

yeah i didnt see the jacket the first time but i went in 2 minutes later and found the jacket

[idle pendant]

someone told me that you're able to barter the red rebel and that you can basically have someone get it for you and give them 1.5m for the supplies instead of paying the 5.4m on the flea, is this accurate?

[languid flare]

200k*

No.. its 200k you can take with you

Roubles, that is

I think 1k $/€?

[idle pendant]

why would you get banned for it

[languid flare]

@quaint gorge Thats new then, huh

It was 200k before

[idle pendant]

crazy

[languid flare]

@quaint gorge It will only be an issue over a certain amount

You can give stuff to others, as long as you dont overdo it

[idle pendant]

I main reserve so i would really like to be able to use cliff as an extract instead of having to rely on train, hermetic and d2

too many people camp d2 and the others are just wack

[languid flare]

"I main Reserve"
You and half the playerbase it feels.

[idle pendant]

yeah i had 6 mill earlier but i bought a bunch of cases so i could organize, currently at 3.6

shouldn't be too hard

[languid flare]

Or just level jäger and get the barter which is a lot cheaper 😄

[idle pendant]

what are tasks though :p

[fast rivet]

just play another map

[idle pendant]

I've been trying to learn interchange but it's rough solo, especially when I already know reserve so well

[languid flare]

I think Reserve is 'too easy' for what it offers.

Besides being badly optimized.
Only map that lags for me :P
But even then

[idle pendant]

i noticed people with lower end pc's do struggle on reserve, it's easy to get loot on pmc but arguably the hardest part is extracting with how people play it xD

[languid flare]

Even just scavving it.
Find a dead raider or farm em
Not a lot of risk involved, if you learn how.

[idle pendant]

true, but that's every map. if you learn the routes and the tricks anything is easy

[languid flare]

No other map is as profitable as Reserve.
Maybe Labs

But labs needs an 'expensive' keycard to enter

[drifting jolt]

I find interchange incredibly profitable...

but you have to know A LOT of loot spawns

[languid flare]

Cant farm raiders on Interchange
IC is good though

[drifting jolt]

yeah that's the thing, but it's arguably safer

[languid flare]

100%

Which is one of th reasons I always will recommend IC for new people to farm

The other is that it runs better

[quaint kraken]

i just learned there's a beta container i can buy from peacekeeper with barter

with items i have never seen before

at least the trade unlocked when i got him to level 2

[languid flare]

Not worth it
You can get the Epsilon by doing Punisher Questline 🙂

[quaint kraken]

i uh

dont know what that is

also why can i buy an alpha container from peacekeeper? what is the purpose

[languid flare]

If you lose yours by accidentally deleting it, lol

[cloud rover]

At which point do I unlock the woods maniac?

[fallen cargo]

?

how do you mean

[carmine gust]

Jager?

Do gunsmith part 1 and then Mechanic gives you the introduction quest if that is what you meant.....

[copper shale]

Anyone wanna help me on shoreline in about an hour?

[bold kernel]

what do i do

i cant get better because i simply dont get the opportunity

there isn't a chance for me to practice aiming, shooting, and positioning i just get fucking killed

[balmy lintel]

Yeah, that's the problem I am running into

Honetly

@bold kernel just play like a rat. Sneak around, the minute you hear footsteps, just freeze. Don't even move or anything. Look around slowly and when the footsteps either fade or run away, run in the opposite direction

If you're brand new, like myself, playing like a rat is the best way to go about it.

[bold kernel]

im not that kind of player

i hear a gunshot and my head instinctively snaps to it

[balmy lintel]

Then I mean you're going to keep dying, losing your stuff, and never getting out.

Because these people have all the gear

They will destroy you before you even get a chance to pull the trigger

And if you do, your bullets won't do anything because you do not have the right ammo

This game is about adapting.

And I was like you too

Run towards gunshots, and die instantly. So I started playing like a rat. Started extracting more, making more money by selling, getting better stuff, and actually progressing.

I'm not the best player, nor am I the most geared (I recently started playing) but I try to adapt as best as I can.

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel Map knowledge, map knowledge, map knowledge

learn a map til you can run it in your sleep

[bold kernel]

i main factory theres not much to learn

[drifting jolt]

well factory is fun, but theres not much money to be made there

good for pvp practice though

[bold kernel]

i cant play on any other mapf

[drifting jolt]

😦

*not to be a dick, but why do you play then?

[bold kernel]

for roubles

[cinder hound]

@bold kernel

Wats wrong

[royal thistle]

Look at maps online and find extract points

Check in-raid which ones you have and go to it

[cinder hound]

Screenshot where u are

And i got u :>

Oh hes in beginner assistance

Prolly gettin help

@bold kernel your reasoning does not make sense btw

Why are you unable to run other maps

Sebbi ur good now?

[bold kernel]

the load times and fps

[cinder hound]

Oh unlucky

Put ur game on an ssd

[royal thistle]

At that point, just upgrade your pc before playing

[cinder hound]

This game is very cpu intensive

Its not really possible to play this game

U need traders, and u need to quests for the traders

And ur scav runs unless ur lvl 10 already

And factory generally ur losing money

[royal thistle]

You won’t enjoy the game playing only factory imo

[cinder hound]

Cuz theres no FIR items

So ur basically playing the game for 10% of what it is

[copper shale]

Anyone up for helping on shoreline?

[gentle stratus]

vodka semichki hardbass tripoloski adidas.

[hoary socket]

why dont you have a map as scaf?

[raven gazelle]

u dont have a map as pmc either

use a map from google

[hoary socket]

how do you know were to extract

[raven gazelle]

use a map from google

[hoary socket]

ok thx

[raven gazelle]

np

[drifting jolt]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov @hoary socket there's 2 sets of maps for ya

[hoary socket]

[gray adder]

LFG new player here looking to get some pvp done and help to not die all the time onlt have some gear left as well HMU to play In LFG trio #17

[rugged prairie]

lfg i just started a couple days ago

[fallen hollow]

how much does a thicc case cost to put up on flea?

[languid flare]

If you got one you can test that yourself.
You see the cost before you actually put it up

[charred spindle]

1.9 mil

for a 15 mill list

[unique axle]

looking for someone who knows well customs map and can help me with extractions and the gameplay in general

thx for any help

[bold kernel]

learn it urself smh my head daddy >_<

[bold kernel]

@unique axle you should use DN its a really good gun at the start

@unique axle dont ask

just dont ask what that is

its really good bro buy it

[fiery latch]

Whats a good cheap night vision head gear I can use?

[bold kernel]

Dn headpiece

it goes on with the mallan sttachment point

stfu bro why are you being such a criminal

0w0

[fiery latch]

Like the actualy night vision gogole

Goggle

[bold kernel]

yea mallan

bro stop

do you know what that is?

dont ask what it is

ask

im bouta ags spec u tf out chronic

they need to learn teh hard way

[fiery latch]

Do I really though?

I mean I dont run night time at all, and it was a simple question

[bold kernel]

ask

what mallan is

[fiery latch]

So if you are just here to troll people who are actually in need of help

Get a life

[bold kernel]

lol

search up night vission on the flea market

and go by linked search

if your missing the attachment parts

[young holly]

@fiery latch there are a couple replica helms that are only tier one but 20k and you can attach cheap NVG to them

[fiery latch]

Ok thanks, Ill just look some up

And find one

[unique axle]

Whats best map to start in as beginner?

[fiery latch]

Customs is pretty good

Maybe reserve for money

[bold kernel]

cumstoms because of the quests

[unique axle]

Im trying to learn customs

Dying a lot there

[fiery latch]

Run around with a map open in offline

Either that or scav

[bold kernel]

u need 2 do all ur quests thats how u get tha bread

[unique axle]

Dont know ecactly where i should go and where not

[young holly]

@fiery latch the ratnik is okay protection at 30k and tier 3 but when you add the mount and nvg to it the costs start to add up for every helmet

[slender vapor]

Ssh and comtacs all the way

[fiery latch]

@unique axle You could watch twitch, people who run customs and learn where streamers go for pvp or loot, but pretty much just play a lot

[bold kernel]

dont use ssh

[slender vapor]

Why not?

[unique axle]

@fiery latch thx for your help mate

[bold kernel]

they dont supress sounds they ligit hurt your ears

comtacs and sordins and sports supress sounds which is good

[slender vapor]

That’s what I’m saying

Ssh and comtacs

[bold kernel]

oh fuck

[slender vapor]

Ssh has a good ricochet change, cheap and you can put comtacs on it

[bold kernel]

i thought you meant the scary compacs

[fiery latch]

@unique axle Also there are video guides for specific maps on how to make money, one I would suggest is this video for reserve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6RwCq2JIZ0&t=673s

[bold kernel]

the ones that make me cry

[slender vapor]

Oh yeah

The terrible headphones

[young holly]

the ssh is a helmet nate mate lol

[bold kernel]

i havent played inj awhile daddy fffff

[young holly]

it's okay everyone just calls it the penis helm on coms and "G"ssh is almost always in reference to the ears

[wanton grove]

jesus christ the shotguns are so broken

you can literally go scav, find an mp-153 and face,eyes fat guys

this is so unbalanced

[bold kernel]

lol what

heard of faceshields

[young holly]

buddy, 'fat guys' wear faces

[wanton grove]

yeah but not a lot of people run them tbh

[bold kernel]

no????

how long have you been playhing

[wanton grove]

i mean slick is the fattest you can get

[young holly]

slick altyn face does not get head eyes

[bold kernel]

yea and they usualy run altyns of airframes

[wanton grove]

well they didnt

[bold kernel]

?

so you got a slick

your saying

[wanton grove]

2 slicks

[bold kernel]

2

okay

is that face armor

or body armor

which one

would protect your head

wait f uck

where am i going with this

idk

[wanton grove]

yeah, just saying that shotties are pretty strong for their price

like the necessity to run face shield or a random scav player can 1 tap you

[bold kernel]

they should have been wearing faceashields then

[wanton grove]

yeah i guess

[young holly]

you know that death screen where you unloaded the full mag of buckshot at a head/thorax and it says damage dealt to body - 8 and damage absorbed by armor - 1900? those are big boys

[wanton grove]

yeah i know you can be a full tank mode

but still, the gear on these guys was worth lots

and you can take that with an mp-153

[young holly]

nice find 🙂

[wanton grove]

kinda funny

i usually dont like running scav

find it more boring

but this time i got lucky

[gritty rover]

anyone got any tips for beginers?

[bold kernel]

dont die watch yt vids on gam

[gritty rover]

k

[upper gorge]

is it worth to buy a helmet with a face shield or no? aside from the altyn

[stone moss]

IMO not really unles you are worried about scavs buckshot

[spice trellis]

no

[muted compass]

im having problems with EFT performance and someone said to clear cache, will this reset my progress and my stash?

[silver hornet]

no

[gritty pawn]

anyone who want to go with me to custom rooms, i need some help

[gritty sparrow]

YESS

I GOT DEBUT DONE!!!!

[wanton grove]

what gun do you guys recommend for 7.62x51?

MDR or SA-58

[wide owl]

anyone know why these picatinny scope rings won't go on this picatinny scope mount?

[silver hornet]

@wide owl that mount probably doesn't accept scope rings

you need a different mount

what gun are you trying to put it on?

[wide owl]

op-sks

[silver hornet]

I don't think you can actually use that scope on the OP-SKS.

[surreal goblet]

@wide owl you need the 30mm scope mount for 30mm scope rings

[silver hornet]

that's not the issue

that scope mount can't go on that sight mount.

[fast rivet]

@wanton grove mdr

[dire remnant]

which ones better a kirasa or a 6b23-1?

nvm ill just keep the 6b

[upper gorge]

if i do a runthrough is the stuff i find FIR status or no?

[celest condor]

no

[upper gorge]

damn, how long until it's not a runthrough?

10 mins?

[spice crater]

Can someone help me with delivery from the past, I havent found the things you need for it either

[fast rivet]

region

[spice crater]

na

[fast rivet]

oof

[spice crater]

You?

[fast rivet]

oce

[spice crater]

damn

[bold kernel]

just installed the game looking for someone to help me learn

[steady delta]

the quest ice cream cones says find 6 60 round ak mags, do i have to find them or can i buy them and hand them over because i feel like that quest would take ages to get lucky to find those mags etc

[gritty sparrow]

Mmmm I think im much more confident taking some fights now after jumping in offline mode and messing around with scavs

@bold kernel I suggest you do the same too, buy a PACA and SSH and Bank Robber Vest and some backpack from Ragman, SKS with PS ammo from prapor and go into offline mode

[bold kernel]

Hey who wants 2 people to run around with them, and help them do things ( i also have every trader maxed so i can buy you gunsmith parts if you need them)

[gritty sparrow]

Run around the area, and try to figure out extracts with an extra map on another screen

dont be afraid of scavs, they can be really stupid(or really OP just depends on your luck XD)

thats what I am learning as a noob rn too

[silver hornet]

@steady delta you can buy them and hand them in.

You can also go to ZB-014 to find them, they're really common there.

[steady delta]

ah alright just i know the therapist sayus find gas analyzers and hand them in but buying them didnt work

whats zb 014

also something else, i killed a player and he had items on him that i looted and when i escaped they were 'found in raid' but like, i clearly did, is that because he didn't find them in raid and they are forever unticked like that or?

[gritty sparrow]

probably

Mightve brought em in, if im understanding you correctly

[steady delta]

idk just thought since i looted it off a guy it would become found in raid idk

well i got the 014 key so lets see if i can get mags

[gritty sparrow]

nahh people would abuse that with the buddy system thing

[fast rivet]

glhf on woods

[gritty sparrow]

though.. it would be nice

[steady delta]

i guess, but surely it could be countered by like 'if the player was killed by a group member' it doesnt become found in raid

[fast rivet]

it is

[steady delta]

huh

[lucid apex]

anyone wanna halp me with some tasks on customs

[warm breach]

the quest ice cream cones says find 6 60 round ak mags, do i have to find them or can i buy them and hand them over because i feel like that quest would take ages to get lucky to find those mags etc
@steady delta you can buy them off of flea, or go to ZB-014 on woods for them

[mellow ingot]

sanitar is a joke

he is so broken

[steady delta]

yeah i went into zb 014 idk if u mean like find them sitting around or in crates but either way on the first run i found none

[lucid apex]

yeah sanitar is a tank

[mellow ingot]

Its not even his health its the aimbot

He shoots you from so far away

and i just died to him literally sitting at hole in fence on west

[lucid apex]

glucose is harder

[mellow ingot]

Imo hes easier

[split glacier]

all of the beginer VCs are full

what should i do

[rugged prairie]

Spicy u new?

@split glacier

[silver hornet]

@steady delta you need the key and you need to unlock the door. Behind the door and on the floor in the corner, there should be a couple.

[steady delta]

oh itys on the floor there i thoguht it was just inm the crate behind it whoops

[lapis patrol]

Yo does the Mosin infantry carbine work for tarkov shooter 1 and why does it seems way less accurate then the 730 barrel version

Head shot a scav on irons with the sniper version. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with the infantry carbine. Using 7n1 in both

[silver hornet]

compare the MOA of a Mosin infantry carbine and a normal Mosin

[lapis patrol]

Oh

Thank you

[gritty sparrow]

btw can i change sensitivity for aimed in scopes?

damn I felt so nice picking up a VPO with a scope today, shame it was in offline mode, other wise I wouldve been literally quick scoping all day

[lapis patrol]

You can grab one off jaeger really cheap i think

Is there any reason to use the witt muzzle over the tanker for the mosin?

[silver hornet]

why are you using a muzzle brake on the mosin

[fast rivet]

^

[proven citrus]

not really a beginner, but figured i could ask it here - hunting for MRE's right now for Peacekeeper

Ive found them often in barrel cahces

those green weapon crates

provision crates (customs, reserve only)

but havent found any in the last 2 customs runs

am i just unlucky or do you guys know of a better spot to find em?

[fast rivet]

thats basically where i find them the most

[proven citrus]

do it for muzzle velocity, otherwise get a silencer or none at all, not really neccessary for a mosin to have recoil reduction @lapis patrol

@fast rivet where? 😛

[keen marsh]

@proven citrus In the customs construction building where the scav boss can spawn, all over the place in the interior room with the burning barrel in it

[proven citrus]

yeah i checked that place the last two times @keen marsh

think i just got unlucky then

thanks for the response 🙂

[lapis patrol]

Oh so don't bother with one at all?

I just saw the small accuracy boost and assumed it was something to get

[fast rivet]

unless you're sniping 600m, the tiny ass accuracy boost isn't going to mean much

[proven citrus]

@lapis patrol the weapon itself is very accurate as-is, no need to

same goes for recoil since its bolt action

[bold kernel]

lemme get a travvy patty

[queen hedge]

why is it when i dome a dude in his bare neck 4 times he dont die

[bold kernel]

ur bad

[queen hedge]

damn i knew it

[bold kernel]

or desynced

idk

[queen hedge]

desync im gonna assume

its happened too many times to count

[bold kernel]

did u die after

or was he not miobing

[queen hedge]

he was opening a door

mid animation

popped him 10 times

4 in the neck

[bold kernel]

was he thicccc

[queen hedge]

not really no

[bold kernel]

oww

[queen hedge]

had a mediocre helmet

[bold kernel]

i bet your shots hit low

if you were ads

and you slapped his armor

what smmo

[queen hedge]

basic scav ak rounds idk

[bold kernel]

were you close asf

[topaz needle]

I'm level 4 and have a few altyn helmets, are those any good?

[queen hedge]

ye

[bold kernel]

and aiming

[queen hedge]

5 feet

ads

[bold kernel]

i bet you hit low

[queen hedge]

still assume a person to die getting hit in the neck

its only realistic

[bold kernel]

or the helmet he had has nape protection

[queen hedge]

didnt see neck protection

[bold kernel]

armor is not modeled correctly into the game

[queen hedge]

seems

[bold kernel]

if you say have a slick

and you get hit anywhere in your thorax

it will protect it as of now

[queen hedge]

dumb as shit

[bold kernel]

when they update it you can lit hit their armpits and stuff

[queen hedge]

whens that

[bold kernel]

its hard to model in and stuff

idk

[queen hedge]

and omg these reserve ai boss scavs

insta dome in a tiny pixel peak from 200 ft

nice

[bold kernel]

this helmet protects your neck

[charred spindle]

you don't peek them like that lmao

[queen hedge]

how do i peek them then

i must know

[bold kernel]

get close

or just beet them

[queen hedge]

oh fuck lmao

[charred spindle]

you shoot a shot get their attention and come from another angle

[bold kernel]

gitr gud

[charred spindle]

or do that

[queen hedge]

so sniping them is a no no?
