earlier today I got head-eyes from someone who was above me. I was going up the ramp the the resort and someone with an m4 head eyes me even though I am not looking at him, and I have a helmet on
is this a glitch, desync, cheating? I have literally no clue how this happened
If he shot you from above probably just hit you in lower forehead or smthing
@median yew don't use the infantry
but it specifically said head eyes, wouldn't it say top of the head if it was there?
I feel like I have been getting headshot a lot lately, I am wondering if it is because of my helmet? I always wear a ssh-68 but I feel like I am a bullet magnet when I do
During punisher pt4 pmc kills did you guys rush around or camp?
@hexed moat killing PMc's on shorrelline?
During punisher pt4 pmc kills did you guys rush around or camp?
@hexed moat Oh never mind i cant read, i just camped tunnel extract tbh
@crimson cradle, fucking rat.
@hexed moat, play by your spawn; if you have a good resort spawn, rush West Wing 1st floor and hang out to gatekeep.
If you spawn shore-side, loot around and then go to cottages or HEP.
What is hep?
Anyone trying to help me with quests?
The power station
Uh why is my road to customs red thats my only exfil
@hearty sonnet head has 35 hp, even armored you're getting donked by most things, the main benefit of your helmet is the ricochet over being able to take a hit and survive, your head is squish
Ash 12 worth it?
are you good at controlling recoil?
how much money do you have?
4 mill
3 MAN 21 JOIN ME
@crimson cradle it's basically a bad VAL
that's blasphemy around some parts
@crimson cradle it's basically a bad VAL
@sour plume ahh ok fair enough
it has the ability to 1shot the thorax through up to class 4 and sometimes class 5, but in every other sense it's pretty bad
high base price, really expensive low cap mags, very low ammo capacity (stacks are 30 rounds max lul), recoil is way too high to be practical
too late
i had bought it beefore even asking the question
just wanted opinions
😄
there are some people here who swear by it but most people will probably tell you it's bad
I mean... of the guns you can wholesale from scav bosses, it seems like the best.
Unless you happen to get a Shturman sniper.
do i need to have only use physical cores on or off
anyone helping people with quest?
any1 wanna run threw some games and help me learn some i have 60 hours but no where near decent
can scav really 1 tap through a kiver with a vepr?
kiver facehield
head, ears
ak style vepr, not the hunter.
do i need to have only use physical cores on or off
@undone bloom i have mine on
Anyone wanna play just installed the game
Anyone wanna play just installed the game
@bold kernel i am up to play but as well have only about 20 hours in the game
i will be at 2 man squad 20 if anyone wants to play

Level 4 looking for patient ingame duo
skilled FPP player. just started ETF. anyone avail to show me the ropes?
Still looking for guide
I think half of Europe is sleeping rn, so it gonna be hard to find people to help you rn @delicate bridge
@barren berry Okay, thanks. Figured NA would be up though after dinner lol
no problems
Teaching new players a good money run for customs lmk if you want to know (Need one key) 60k
Factory key @delicate bridge
@sage lance not what i asked but thanks
@open hemlock #screenshots
is there somewhere i can look for bullet dropoff stats?
I need a person to help me tetris. level (level 34)
ok
@silver hornet yes plepase.
alright
Anyone need an extra person? Only lvl 7 but know the maps pretty well except interchange and labs
@silver hornet i gurantee there is. ive shot the VSS at 200m and if you dont zero perfectly the bullet drop is extremely noticeable
I thought you were talking about damage
Bullet dropoff.
Not damage dropoff.
Important difference
"Vladmir, what is your job?"
"I open doors."
take the sight off
Leveling Jaeger is more expensive than PK. WTF
I've spent over 1m on Mosins.
is there any sherpas on?
You know you can sell stuff to Jäger too, @sour fjord ?

@languid flare, the quests... they require Mosins.
Not after today
^
what is the best sniper, price doesnt matter
pure preference
^
Like, dedicated sniper or DMR?
If you're wanting to be slick, I like running DVLs sometimes. But the better option would be a scope and backup sight on an M1A, SR-25, etc.
M1A/Sr-25 are not snipers
dedicated sniper, i was going to pair it with a m4a1
DVL, or the M700, I guess
I mean, if you want it to be 'cheap', probably a M700
I don't think you'll find a hell of a lot of difference among the bolt actions in this game. I'm a big fan of the SV-98 and the DVL though.
I can't wait until they get rid of the trigger delay on the SV-98.
^
Someone check flea for that key real quick?
60k
61,474
Thanks.
Hope this is the right place to ask. Anyone got an Magpul MOE pistol grip for ak that they are willing to put up on the flea? I need it for a gunsmith task.
I can
that would be awesome
I can't put one on the flea market but I can prob sell it to Fence
That would be super helpful
You are a life saver!
np
Thank you sooo much
meanwhile i have been waiting for days to get a threaded five seven barrel and the zenit 2r foregrip
I mean... the 57 barrel isnt needed for a quest....
it isnt but i still need one
you could use it without the silencer
thats what ive been doing
Would anyone be willing and able to help me learn the game? solo mid wipe was not a good choice on timing for a new player to join
#pvp-lfg would have more people looking to squad up but buy cheap guns that you like, ammo type is important and money management is extremely important, there’s tons of pvp guides on youtube
much appreciated advice, ive watched alot of videos but i dont learn that well from videos. And you cant ask questions to recording
Also the sherpa discord will be happy to help out and if your lucky drop a mid tier kit

You are doomed
@sour plume @subtle nimbus @ember pendant, @naive depot, @spice trellis

Not me. I wear black and white stripped
i have been pinged
not me i just got out of interchange 🙂
i'm level 45 too
Pog
Anyways, i just wanted to say good morning because it is 8:09 in russia 
Morning
My boy was modding his gun and it showed duplicate parts
Mine only shows available parts. Not the ones I have multiple duplicates like him. Any idea why?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/742405291567743096/767626056412561428/unknown.png
We've messed with the checkmarks at the top of the preset menu, but I honestly can put my finger on it.
I have at least 10+ PK-06s like him
another successful run with the newbie
got him FAT
not as fat as i'd like but it was nice safe runs
Nice @naive depot
Its a hard game to learn, i changed from ps4 to pc and Tarkov is my first game, been playing 340hours, and its still soo frickin hard... but its the best game i ever played though🎯
"this is the first time i've ever truly had fun playing this game"
the highest honors you can receive from a new player 😎
?
where the porn at
@ember pendant about the edit preset, ive noticed its quite bugged atm!
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
With insurance, if I insure a shotgun, go out to a raid die and lose it and I get it in a return as nobody took it, is it still insured then or no?
@ me if u answer please :)
@steady delta any insurance returns need to be insured again
Thanks
why do scavs keep asking me to divide their cheeks
they like your dick, jeez
If I die, do I lose my compass
no
no clue, shits still downloading
oh ok lol
It has so much recoil
with RK-2 and blast mitigation device it still has 125
go use an ash12 then come back to us
There aren't any different barrels for the RFB
@ember pendant It's because of modding vs edit preset.
they're different features. modding shows you everythng in inventory, edit preset shows everything (without duplicates.)
hey! I'm new just started and keep dying what are some good weapons and armor I could use?
ty ty
Do you lose the composs when you die ?
Ok thanks
Tested and confirmed first hand
@ember pendant I felt that
bruh I got sandwich between two 3 stacks
I ended up killing one of each squad before they squeezed me like a pimple.
im trying to unlock Jaeger if someone could help
Did they change jaegar from mosin to boltys!?
Have you done Tarkov Shooter already?
Yea I have kappa
can someone explain to me all the channels on the left. I'm new to this discord but not to eft
its where we share pictures of feet
Imbecile
wow helpful thanks
lol
where can i find the adults channel
bruh i dont think there is one
@thick sigil this discord is full of teens and awful memes, so uh
@thick sigil either way only ones that are really specifically interesting outside of the eft-chat is looking for group and beginner-chat/assistance
beginner chat also has image perms, unlike the other channels (Excluding screenshots/art/memes/modding).... for some reason.
so that we noobs can share our nooby stashes with other noobs
or get high teir players to complain on how disorganized it looks
lol
kinda sux
i like my sorting better
guns on the left BP's and vests go on the right
ye its just for people who dont really have time
lol
i think you lose items klean or sum 1 said it delets them or something
how to find this new veritas item? i was about to finish kappa and now i need to find this shit. please help 😄
whats repair like on new class 5 armour?
there is a glitch where u lose items but im sure they will fix soon
well now u got an auto sort
@raven gazelle some people lose stuff when doing it so i would highyl recommend not touching that button until BSG announces its safe to use
ye ik
US or EU? @narrow mist
US
alright
EU here
anyone willing to take a fairly new guy out so i can learn the maps better and gain some confidence and not panic shoot i am lvl 7 still trying to do quests no pmc kills 40 scv kills
i am ok at other shooters but EFT is way different
i am on USW
@narrow mist @lyric helm you should team up and ask for a sherpa maybe, so you learn together
id be down
oh ok DM me when your done @narrow mist
aight
happy to have made a match
I appreciate you @mystic berry
im on customs and dont know what to do lol
3?
look in trio voice channels
hey wheres the new barter for aa batteries
guys how the hell do you play aggressive with no good gear
like if you have bad gear playing aggressive is just a death sentence
i have trouble landing headshots though
even though i dont have much trouble landing headshots in cs
im new to escape and looking for some games
I mean just work on it not much you can do if you can't make the shots
@bold kernel Just join in on the beginners assistance voice chats they can help you
how bro i keep running factory, trying to play aggressive but i always get one shotted even if i get a jump on someone
The best advice about factory is do not play factory unless you are there for a quest
its good to get in a gunfight and therefore train your aim
Or just play offline raid with tagged and cursed
whats tagged and cursed?
You'll have 20 scavs on you in 30 seconds
The scavs know where you are and will chase you down
i dont have much trouble killing scavs with headshots
i think the problem is that im scared of highly geared players
how to tackle this fear
Run your best gear all the time, if you want to play like a chad you need to gear like a chad
Like you'll never stop being afraid if the only thing you do is play around the fear
yeah man but they got them cool helms with visors while the best i ever got is tank helm
Just full send, if you die it is what it is
I think that you are just outclassed and you need to work on progressing through the game by doing quests until you can unlock higher tier items or buy them from the flea market. It takes time to get to the nice gear
yes it always turns out that i have worse gear
everyone around my has full auto weapons
full gear
His new to the game looking for a duo/ squad
Any tips on how to improve fire fights? I usually play on the defensive side but not this late in the wipe kinda wanna go on the offense
@kindred flicker its not so much about the gear you can run its about how you can outplay your opponent and knowing what the ammo you are running is capable of. gear doesnt always make you win a fight ( ex of how i have seen players progress kit VS lvl----lvl 1-20 early game kits, lvl 20-40 mid/ high tier kits, 45+ tier 4 body armor + decent gun. its pretty much the cycle of a tarkov player)
@vast hound it sounds stupid but you just need to fight people and die enough to realize how they react to different situations how to combat that issue and learn from those mistakes and just mess with different strategy's, also no gunfight is the same as the last (for the most part)
hay can somone give me the map for customs
ive finally stopped sneaking and camping for 30mins each fight. now i just run around like a mad man and try to kill as many as i can. if i die, i die. always another set gear to take
?????/
yea i kind of just run at loud bang noises if i win i win, if not i die. then i just run it back but I also have alot of money
i got around 11m atm, and a BTC farm going. if i loose to much money i run pistol and go for GPU
someone who hasn't played with my squad: " so whats the strategy?"
everyone else in the squad: "Just run at them and try not to get head-eyes'd"
yeah i only play solo tho. so i only got my self xD
i play solo quite a bit i just make all my money off shoreline nighttime
i only play IC ^^
I love that strat. I’m only level 5 and I’m okay at the game so when I’m with my friends who want to get stuff and go, I tell them my plan is to go towards the shooting while they want to go away from it. Gotta love running at the shots
suppressed mp5 ap 6.3 to deal with the rats on nighttime and some nvg's, hit all the ledi rooms and leave you can make around 2-3mil an hour or so depending on if rock passage is open or not
i had a big gear fear, but now im just like "meh i died, back we go"
I still have gear fear but I stopped caring, so I’m scared to lose stuff, but at the same time if I die I die
honestly if you are lvl 5 you should refrain from pvp and focus on quests, having max traders really helps because you will have access to alot of good equipment for 1/2 the cost it can be on the market
if i hear alarm in IC, i try go for ledx room.
Yeah, but I really like the fighting in this game. I really don’t care about the quests, I try to do them, but in the end I just end up having more fun when in a gunfight
I also struggle with some of the quests and can’t find anyone to help me with them
if you are looking to do quests i jump on every once and a while into the beginners assistance and help low level players such as yourself get through some raids, get some cash, and get some quests done.
Now that the compass is a thing, which would really help me with figuring out my location on maps, what's the quickest way to get my hands on one if I don't have Jaeger or the Flea Market unlocked yet?
probably just the RNG of finding it in game
Can you find it in game? I didn’t know you could
or get someone to buy you one and drop it for you
regular scavs have a compass slot
i didn't think they were lootable from scavs
All I know if you can’t take them from players
i would assume regular scavs would have the chance of spawning with one because they have an item slot for it
Maybe.
But if then they'd be lootable from Scavs, just like their melee
Anyone found Veritas guiar pick?
Many did, judging flea
Just got my last item to find out they added 2 new ones with the patch 😦
Well... one new old one.
Yup
I was 2 raider kills from kappa and had all the items im sad
Guitar pick is safes, tea you know ;)
Anyone know where the pick spawns?
Literally just said it
who the fuck puts a pick in a safe lol
Uhhhh,Veritas
Veritas, lol
Hello guys, help please, i'm having this error after installing the new patch, i'm the only one having it? :(((
Hello everyone does anybody know how i can fix this problem i get this everytime i move something in my inventory
@fresh igloo its from using the auto sort i have the same problem i cant store loot and im missing loot
yeah just realised i lost loot aswell
there is a bug with the sorter rn it can just delete loot
would recommend not using it for a while
i lost full scav box and full grenade case
any noobs trying to team up and get wrecked by geared teams?
me
Collin, w0lf, I’m in
guys, can someone explain pvp to me? Im running into a problem where i can't really face anyone head on because i get decked by high tier stuff. So what can i do?
What map should I play on?
Take nothing but a malaria
Makarov
Drink a shit ton of vodka
And aim for the aid
Head
Papa Stalin doesn't guide my hand, can't do
if you are new then try and stay away from a direct fight if its not in your favor
Just kill scavs
this late into wipe most players should me mid game but others who have nothing better to do with like myself will have already been in the end game for the last month or so
just pick your fights if you can help it
i mean i can just rat all day but all the decent loot is in competitive spots(dorms, big red, etc.) so i feel like i need to survive 5 raids in a row to afford a loadout. That's just not good
i dont even bring a pack to customs the only loot worth anything is player loot and most of the time they will bring a pack to me
Usec building Has good loot
i dont even bring a pack to customs the only loot worth anything is player loot and most of the time they will bring a pack to me
@median trellis pretty much my problem, so im looking to learn pvp
Enough to fill up a berkut
I don’t know my way around the maps
They’re too big
I can get to dorms from gas station on customs
just takes time to build that mental map
But that’s it
you will learn the most traveled paths that players like to take and you can avoid them or take them if you are looking for a fight or not
i can make my way through most maps without seeing a single player if I feel so inclined to
Learn extracts
Id recommend starting with shoreline bc you have low chance of running into chads if you stay away from resort and decent loot, thing is, its a huge map
And will take a while
you can pretty much look at shoreline as a 4 lane map
Its easy to orient yourself usually, landmarks everywhere
But you need to learn them
And compass will help for sure
Bc if you can find the wall you can find the exit 😂
do the cracks on my visor go away when i repair it?
yes
How do I make money ? I barely scrap by, and mostl die so I guess that's a major flaw
run scav and get killed by other playerscavs, run stash runs and get oneshot by shotgun scav
just my experience
Mine too in first month of playing
I enjoy sniping a lot but that's not really a good way to make money xD
No lmao
Then blow their head off while they aren't watching
Not with me, i kill everything and everyone (unless they do magic wiggle) as player scav
juice em bois, I have 200 hours but i still suck so /shrug
Ai scav wiggle too
Perfectly horizontal aim
Ihronn we all suck dont worry :)
what about all those people with 50% surv rate?
But its not that hard to make money, try to avoid fights and high-traffic areas
I have 30% surv rate...
Well
How many gas analysers do I need for sanitary standards 2?
Campers often on lookout rock
And watch out for sniper scav
Also, take money for vehicle extract and zb-014 key
I sold that key by accident
F
Take 10k to be safe
Why so?
But its not that hard to make money, try to avoid fights and high-traffic areas
@mellow matrix biggest lie ever, the most money i had was selling all the gp coins i got from the gift
Damn
And they still made us wait 5d
It feels like they started working on it when it was supposed to launch xD
Tarkov is not at all fun
Just curious
As a starter and a solo? It’s just a horrific nightmare
Well that was me and i had fun
Like the potential is there, but fuck it, I quit
From time to time
Earlier today I went in with a uley, penis, mp5, 3 mags, pst and a salewa, scav bp too
As a starter and a solo? It’s just a horrific nightmare
@bold kernel yeah lol
Especially at this point of the wipe
Dude I get one tapped
Every
Single
Time
I have no defense
I don’t even know they exist
Head eyes
But the feeling when you finally kill that mf who chased you for 5 minutes with your shitty sks, best
Buy
I hopelessly sprayed a guy and I head eyed him
You got the gift ?
I have yet to even extract because I fucking get one tapped every time
Once I got shot I screamed like a little girl, i jumped on the chair
Lmao, true
Mikey take things slow
I didnt use sprint Button for Basically my first 2 weeks in tarkov
And unfractured balls
You get corona
Does it have the same effect as a zarya?
It makes the flash noise
You will
And same, gotta wake up in 7h
Holy shit that's actually an hour longer than usual, i wont Die the next day !
Impressive
so im trying to download the new patch and it keeps saying repair required
Do what it says, I guess
how is the new shotgun guys? Is the ammo any good?
what is a good budget RDS sight? Cobra's reticule is tiny and i keep losing it when looking against the sky
is there a free version of tarkov hideout calculator?
@narrow gull the P1X-something is good, goes for about 15k-ish on flea
otherwise, the eotech holos are good if you're willing to go a bit more
thanks
anyone need help with quest and stuff?
I'm looking for someone to play with that would be willing to show me the ropes I'm new to EFT but I have plenty of experience in FPS games.
I always get stuck on loading map for a long time (like 3-4 minutes) how do i fix this?
How much RAM do you have @ornate bane
Is the game located on your SSD?
yes

nice
i like to see 100% gift loadouts
thanks bro
what should i usually put in my rig?
cause rn i got commando and it doesnt hold much
mags and a first aid kit of some sort
i played with a guy and he gave me 2 meta loadouts (meta HK, slick and altyn) can i get banned for that? I did not ask for that and that never happened expect the 1 out of 10 raids i bring a mid to high tier gun in for a friend when he died and i got out
he'll get banned, not you
@bold kernel you'll be fine
for 2 loadouts?
not for 2 loadouts
If it was million+ rouble kits over a dozen raids, then yes
but not for 2 loadouts
ok thank you i never do that usually its just those 2
anybody able to help me with the introduction task? lvl 6
Does the altyn reduce the effect of the new flashbang ammo?
why would it
no
right
I need help with peacekeeper tasks. I keep dying so i need somebody to help me n stuff
@bold kernel are you NA or EU?

NAE
Anyone have any tips? I feel like at lvl 40 I should have a grasp of the game but Ive not survived since friday. Seems like Im either out gunned or caught flat footed even on maps Im super comfortable on like customs
I feel like having a friend with you might help
though I've never played with someone else on my team before
yea duo or trio is amazing
So do sherpas just help with ingame items and quests or are they like a beginner buddy to run maps with?
@subtle wing Take it slow, and learn the gun sounds. Keep a mental picture of where people are based on gunshots
@sly birch It depends on the sherpa, I try to play as a beginner buddy. Some only agree to help with one quesst
gotcha
I've never actually played with another person before so I might ask for one in abit
right now I'm going to warmup in offline before I actually go into the real match
I'd be happy to help you
im lookin for some help i need help to do the quest to unlock jeager
Looking for someone to help with introductory scav kills in customs
i can help in a bit
Okay, just hanging out
@delicate bridge still want to do scav kills on customs?
how much should I sell Rotor 43 7.62x51 muzzle brake for VPO-101 for? It's 18k if to Mechanic
is there any other ones on the market
Nope @bold kernel
50k\
you can make it whatever u want
Thank you
uhh anyone willing to teach me the game. downloaded it bc a buddy suggested it.
hell yeah man
mmmm femboy cock
lmao wtf
😏
if theirs a quest like kill 15 scavs on customs does it count if ukill them as a scav?
only pmc
mm ok ty
you can only do quests as pmc UNLESS its getting ITEMS found in raid
which are not Quest only items*
pretty sure eve has an easier learning curve than this game rofl
NO xD
tryna kill some scavs on customs and make it out alive and get fucked by some gigachad in 1-2mil worth of gear
hello?
hello
anyone down to run a few? i'll shoot the missions i'm working toward in a sec
I need help
my introduction mechanic quest doesnt show and I already completed gunsmith part 1 and I dont have jager unlocked
What level are you and what reputation do you have with the mechanic
Do you have locked quests show selected?
Restart game?
alreadsy
tryna kill some scavs on customs and make it out alive and get fucked by some gigachad in 1-2mil worth of gear
@late sapphire bruh times that by 2 and give yourself a TT and 3 mags and that was me last night lol
Maybe they replaced it
a friend of mine has the mision being level 7, 0 reputation with the trader ans has the mission active
When did they activate it?
where I do that
Anyone could help me later today do the quest where you find jaeger's camp? I really want to unlock him quickly but have a very hard time navigating in woods and escaping alive
I can play middle east and EU servers
i can try help later. when i did it, i did not know woods at all, but i just followed the map and looked at my bearings
curious... how many PMC games did it take before you were able to extract? I've just start playing EFT today... and I'm lasting from 30 seconds to about 5 minutes MAX before getting taken out.
What map
I can make it out of raids alive if I sneak around but the moment I try to go for some loot and hang around I get clapped from halfway across customs
when i started, i died a lot. A LOT! then i started to act like an rat, hide in corner ambushing people and die a lot again. then i started to get better ammo and could one tap them as rat. and now i just run around with no care in the world
Rat way is best way
I'm playing customs at the moment.
i only play IC. im not familiar with other maps
Are you looking at a map?
What would be the ideal map to start with for a beginner? Any inparticular?
fellas my inventory is pretty cluttered any guidelines for what i should be selling/keeping etc
customs is super popular
i wanna say IC, but thats just me xD
interchange?
ya
ahhh
thats the map i started with, and the map i only play. so im bias towards it
Interchange is too dark and too 'corner-y' for me
Everyone has a different opinion on maps.
Best map to learn used to be Customs, but this wipe it's been kind of a designated PvP map.
But Customs is generally the 'start' map due to the Quests
from what ive been told its been a pain to do quests on custom due to the increase in pvp
Personally my fav maps are Customs and Shoreline.
Customs is safe if you know where to go, for example places circled in blue have good loot and nobody goes there but red has good loot and people go there
maybe just follow the quests it levels you up and gets you better rep with the traders too
@tiny pelican I'd argue on old gas, but thats me
Um.
i never do quests. i hate doing them.
People go to USEC stash.
It has a rare loot spawn and a medbag. That's not much.
Upper rooms are good though
It has a 'anything you can imagine' loot spawn inside and behind
A medbag a weapon box and a cache
@barren canyon I'm also pretty new and don't know the map at all but could use a hand because solo is shit when doing a PMC run.. My weapons and armor and items at all aint so great and I still don't quite know the "methods" to win a fight in game so if you can hop on with me later to do a run or two to do that I'd be grateful
@balmy river sure i can try
Alright, what time is good for you? I can in around 3 hours
i never do quests. i hate doing them.
@barren canyon I only do quests if I’m bored or they are easy
i can anytime @balmy river
I mainly do Quests 😛
kk I'll DM you whenever I can
Quest make the game boring and you can get faster xp from hunting scavs
I'll keep grinding on customs for now. Hopefully as I learn the layout etc it will come a little easier. I'll give the rat approach a go as well. I think I may be moving too quickly considering I've up to 45 mins to complete it. I'll slow down and take my time.
i know quests are good to do, but i hate it
if i insure my backpack but drop it during my raid does that mean i get it back soon provided that no one can find it?
Yes
if no1 finds it yes
It’s called insurance fraud
Can anyone price check AESA?
@dense tundra Just cause its a common Question: Only the backpack, not the stuff inside it (If it is not insured itself, like a mag)
i do it all the time if i find something better xD
This includes ammo in mags
Mags are insured.
Ammo can not be
Did someone just sell a epsilon container to fence????
I thought you couldnt anymore
That is why I’m asking
smh someone camped customs office key and shot me as i unlocked -__-
That’s rats for you
sigh. having a lovely stroll on IC and then all the sudden killa is in my face chasing me ...
Delivery from the pain
If I go there when the raid is at 25 mins, can I still get the folder?
Its client side
So yeah
so if i kill as a scav and i get no kill multiplier does that mean i just dont get an xp multiplier as scav or that i killed an ai scav? is it different as pmc?
Scav runs yield no xp and idk about the rest
makes sense kk
Scav runs only give XP for your Scav, not your PMC
He keeps it
keeps it, but its basically useless
buy he can at least run for longer
Thats skills, not just normal Xp
hey im level 3 but have like 5 pmc kills and a few player scavs to my name, why is it so hard to get into raids for me when i try to lose the stuff in my stash because everything is just full but when i get into a raid i end up with even more stuff
and then selling stuff makes me kinda mad cause i know i had that piece of gear or weapon to kill someone and it just goes to waste
hmm okay
oh i also got the stimulus check from battlestate and ive been working on selling crap in my inventory so i can get the last of my GP
good
ive also been using my scavs a lot because i tend to do a lot of hording in the game and now ive horded too much lol
i also dont like dying losing all my shit but i guess i need to pull my pants up and deal with it since i need to lose some shit anyways
indeed
imma go work on that now actually because i do believe that what ever i lose especially in this early age of playing tarkov, what comes back may be doubled
if you come across brown handle knives, get some of them
ye i know about the mp5
yesterday i was delighted with a lucky head eyes on a lvl 32
i made a dumbass mistake selling 4 of mine when i was lvl 1
f
thats cool
i always feel so luck in this game and whenever i experience it i feel like worse is going to come my way
like once i went in customs and killed a guy with the new rpk and 95 drum mag with a damned mosin, he destroyed ma kneecaps so i limped all the way over to smugglers boat
thanks
has anyone ever sold off all their stuff to reduce clutter
no
Yes
yes, i only left what was in boxes, few armors and stack of berkuts and stack of daypacks
and now, a week later, my stash is getting a lil clogged again
because i have ready-to-go kits there but dont use them because quests xD

that random ass click
where it sounds like someone switched fire modes 5 feet from you
Lo fi lol. I actually have it going very low volume in the room while I raid. Keeps me calm
I’m literally in bed 😦
@low rose i run a compressor on my audio for that reason
how to get good
learn from your deaths
how do i learn when i just drop out of thin air
soak up as much info as you can about the game
well you learned to not expose yourself so much, no?
nope, i learned death only means i go until im broke
and if i want to do a task i have to die trying
why can i not repair my helmet visor?
is it only lightly damaged, or completely fucked?
thats why
Sell it and buy a new one off the flea or something
People have been selling some to fence recently
Only 40k or so for him
Nvm it’s 25k off the flea
200k? holy shit
the helmet costs like what,80k
why is the faceshield so god damn pricey
nah its like 17k cheapest
i'm talking one with full durability
oh cool
the zsh-1-2m face shield
ah right zsh-1-2m does have a face shield doesn't it
2 piece of plexiglass to ragman

can anyone help me lvl up to 10?
Hello, i'm lvl17 looking to do some quests or chill raids. My goal is to reach lvl20 today. I feel more confortable playing duo/trio than solo. Experienced & mature only please. Dm
II_element is mine in game
Is prapor the one that sells 5.56x45 NATO and 7.62x54R rounds later on?

ahf1-m is 20k
anyone wanna run customs with me and another random? just looking for a squad!
im a person whos shit at the game and needs some serious help before i quit : p Cuz i possibly will (u can ask why i might quit if u want) msg me if u want to help
you need 2 learn to like to play the game daddy
if you actualy like it then you wouldnt question yourself on if you want to quit it @proven pagoda mabey its just not ur game
I can see why they may wanna quit as a new player, they constantly get shit on and don’t know how to play well, its infuriating when you have no one to help, I know because I learned to play this game mostly solo
yea i remember some of my first raids, i literaly got mia on customs because i was stuck at military checkpoint at night time xd
I’ve been running shoreline over and over again until I know every landmark and can mentally go from point to point with the best cover and most efficiency. Once I get that map down I’ll move to customs or something more intense but it makes it easier as a noob to have a goal
any tips?
Makes it more fun too when you start to really learn the details and can gain a strategic advantage after a while
Just run it, over and over, look for things that are interesting that you can remember and after a while your brain will naturally remember. Dopamine from looting a rare item will force your brain to remember where it was 😂
dont run around every where, shooty heads, and dont die, all my pro tips
looking for someone/group to help me, jumping back in after a few months of not playing
Why is it every time i spawn on the new customs im getting spawn killed left right and centre, i've gone in 15 matches so far and every single one of them im killed within 3 min
ur going to hotspot areas
im spawning in the hotspots then
you can get to every hotspot in the map in under 3 minuites where do you usualy go
i keep spawning in near ZB-1011 and i either go to new part or i go between gas station and the power station since those are the only ways i can go
Anyone got any tips for surviving forklift spawn in factory? Last 4 raids I've spawned there and have been instantly clapped
dont play factory is my go to
not unless you just want pvp
if your pvping watch for spawn on right
near the tanks, and people that spawn undergrown
are ques for everything but labs taking a while again today
you mihgt be a late spawner lill b if you are you have no chance there
i spawn rush factory and have killed guys spawning in and like pulling bolt
do customs
we can go factory if you want
I enjoy factory when playing against scavs and low/mid tier geared folks
The high end geared players is a nightmare
with the new patch everyone is testing the new armor and guns infactory not a very safe place rn
ahh once again spawn killed in customs in less than 40 seconds wooooooooo
great game
lol if you late spawn customs its the same deal ive killed a 2 man spawning in didnt even get to move probably reported me lol
woot woot
customs is wayy more forgiving tho
bs
no not you getting the kills
oh ya thats bs but if you spawn yous hould look at the timer and if its not seconds in the raid get ready
i wasn't late
you a canuck?
yea
what lvl are ya
9
come for some runs there bud
its almost 12 that means if youre a newfie your probably drunk so maybe why youre dieing

Anyone got some tips on how to stop losing money, I've hit rock bottom once again, died 13 raids back to back today 
Anyone got some tips on how to stop losing money, I've hit rock bottom once again, died 13 raids back to back today
@main light keep meds in your container same for ammo
if u cant get class 4 or above armor dont buy any
When I'm broke I run one PMC then one scav. Lose half as much that way.
make objectives for every raids not every raid should be a shooting match
sometimes just looting and staying silent is better
ak74-u stock is a good for cheap budget runs
Yeah I just have a lot of quests that involve shooting rn 
just pick a gun that you like and stick with it for awhile
Can I run just a pistol without the scavs tagging me
nope
you will need a chest rig if you bring a pistol
ahh
u need a vest a mag and a backpack to not get cursed i think
Space the tasks out more you will lose money doing them. Pistol and scav vest
Think it' either backpack or vest
ak74-u is 28k and it comes with ammo, usually i just take only that and stuff everything in my secure container
I'll try running some 47-u's i Just dont really get how to shoot aks, the recoil is horrid
do I tap em, or small bursts
200k liquid rn
damn
Had 4.5m 2 days ago
Unmodded AK I would tap.
But that was all from twitch drops and the gift, so i burned through it
i usually go even with a saiga 9 with suppressor and a dovetail scope
costs about 30k~
the ammo is 80~ a round
buckshot?
its semi auto
but u can also go with the pp-19 if u want it as full auto
its mostly for hunting scavs cus they can spawn with wads of cash
@main light u can also use shotguns cheap long and ammo is very cheap
so they almost always come back
I'll try running some 47-u's i Just dont really get how to shoot aks, the recoil is horrid
@main light single shot and take some time to aim except if someone gets close then just spam
I see, thanks for the tips guys, I'll try the ak and the saiga out
gl!
Thanks, all the best ^^
tip for tarkov mental health, factory offline raid scav amount horde with appropriate difficulty and tagged and cursed
With the new shotty. Fun times.
shotty ammo is so hard to buy though
Yeah but off line you can just keep using the same over and it's a good destress
de-stress, lol
offline raids and fence level 4
Jager level one.
