that might not be done easily as a new player
with just 1 bullet, that is
just remember to hold breath when you shoot
gotcha
How to open the communication wheel thing?
You can try it in offline mode to get used to the bullet drop. It helps it you use tracers doing that.
The default is Y
I think you have to hold it
Also, the sign with sniper scope on railroad
What are sugar cubes for
that's the correct way to Military base CP ?
That’s sniper checkpoint I believe
But if I continue in that direction, I can get to Military base CP
I’m not sure
hmm
Mili cp is at the northeastern corner of the map
Yeah
But I mean, if I exit new gas, go to the railroad, and go in the direction of the sign with a sniper symbol
I am going in the right direction for military base cp?
you want to go to the tracks outside the gas station on the overpass
go under them, as you go under them, the direction you'll need to head to military cp is about 45 degrees to your right about 1000 yards
you'll have to manuver around some buildings and a long dividing wall
Thx 👍🏼
the sniper symbol is non-visible AI that shoot you on sight
yes...
ahhhhh
but there is still a scav sniper on top of those 2 huge white towers still
thats good to know
not all the time, but some times
right
you silly
no you
has there been any info that could hint when next wipe will be. (just wanna decide how im gonna play this wipe)
weather i should try for things like red keycard or just get good at the game for next wipe
just get gud
most likely februaryish
maybe a lil before, maybe a bit after
I dont know what the weather has to do with anything though :p
Is the SR1MP with SP-10 a good budget Five-Seven?
It's a worse 57, it has much more recoil and the time between accurate follow up shots is very high
but a pistol and 1 spare mag isnt 90k
What
i dont have peacekeeper high level yet
Do you not have it unlocked?
Ah.
Why not run a Glock with 7N31 or AP 6.3?
Unless you don't have these rounds unlocked either.
no
Well, it's a 1 hit face tapper, but don't expect too much from it.
Running around with an SKS might be better than that
forklift is my fav!
Factory? Could just buy a dirt cheap Kedr
run out and slaughter.. .take their kit
i have died to so many chads
That's some quick pvp from 2 sides and an extract right under you
^
If I spawn there, I usually get out within 2 minutes.
I really dont run into chads often at all.. i dont know if im crazy... but i have 1300 hours in, and i can not see a chad for half a dozen raids or more
Throw a VOG to the left, prefire glass.
I mean i run into some level 4 armored, and some heavier guns, but very rarely a level 5+ armor and expensive helmet
Doink
died
Ah, the good ol 20% ricochet chance
whatever
sturrup done
i was in the second stair room
you know not the exit one
shot a guy through the stairs
I've seen people wearing slick and meta weapons about 5 times out of 200~ factory raids
those arent chad weapons persae though
it's only if they're rocking the heavy armor to match
Well, they got the high rof for cqb, but they're fairly cheap and loads of fun.
Most "geared" people run a Korund and some kind of smg.
All black loadout ftw
i instantly nutted when i blew his brains out and got the "quest complete" noise
I always feel bad when I magdump a guy, and then discover his level is sub 20.
I feel like a lot of peoples' issues with this game would be solved by aiming specifically for head/face shots
my favorite guns are shotguns, and i still aim for the head
too much counterstrike i guess
I always spray faces
I usually don't even wear armor to factory, most people that are worth killing usually carry ammo that goes through class 5
^ furthermore you can just steal theirs after you kill them
Ive gotten to the point now where if i kill 10- level players, i try to hide their gear for them lol
Gotta hoover up their entire kit
but if theyre 11+ then their kit is mine
you can run a pump shotgun for 22k and nothing else, and just repeat factory over and over
just play like you dont care if you die
Sometimes I just run tracers in a ppsh for the hell of it in Factory
It's like being a stormtrooper
im fairly well off, but i run a shotgun with no armor/helmet way more than i should be lol
oh i love the papasha
ive got like 13 troopers and a few slicks, but no armor is more fun!
Ks23 ratrig and ratnik helmet, you don't need anything else
You should try the Saiga with a monster claw and butt pad.
Oh i love a saiga with a drum and a few 10ers to boot
110~ recoil on a shotgun that shoots 7 times a second
@cloud rover you dont need a helmet if youre not scared of scavs
The only annoying thing is you need a 3 slot rig, or manually reload them through your backpack
yeah i just wear the alpha every time
you leave the 2x2 int eh alpha empty
and just manually unload the drum and reload it
the 10ers are there in case you dont secure the kills with the drum
The drums are too fancy for me, it's Factory after all.
If your aim is decent, anyone drops within 4 shots, no matter their armor.
oh just in general... generally i jsut take a pump into factory
Ah, fair enough.
it's hilarious when you have only a pump and shells in your pocket
and you know someone has to come to only see that when they loot
lol
Hah, "This dude blacked all my limbs and made me pop 2 stims, he must have something good!"
Ive been on a bit of a tear in factory with just the pump... i jsut immediately run to toher spawns and engage
It's always fun if you spawn in Glass, that means there's guaranteed someone at forklifts.
I should probably use one of the other 85 guns in my stash... but a flea'd pump will do ahaha
I usually flank around by opening one of the doors instead of rushing to the office
i rarely ever rush office... i wait for them to come out of hte office and ambush em
There's usually 2 people busy fighting, you can at least shoot one guy in the back
I would've pressed Shift + W about one minute ago.
I'm too impatient in Factory, and that's what usually gets me killed
i have a question to gunsmith part 2 i have the gun its modded with all the stuff needed and shown on the wiki its folded but i cant give it to him and finish the quest is there a bug or did i do something wrong ??
Can you show me the weapon?
sure how do i make a screenshot or do you wanna call and i screenshare
Print screen, CTRL + V into Discord.
how do i print screen XD
pc
You could also Windows key + Shift + S
win 10
I think every recent version of Windows comes with that.
shud i put it in here or ?
Yeah, just CTRL + V it into here.
@kindred thicket you can always watch a quick youtube video... there's a few different ones for each gunsmith quest... Geeksah does the best ones imo
that's how i did mine... quick and easy that way
Oh, wow. I can't view that on my phone.
Well, it's too tiny and won't zoom in, give me a minute.
Try shoving a muzzle on your AK.
gotta buy one gimmi a sec
as if that fcking 700 rub muzzle made that differemce
god im stupid
well thanks alot i guees
No problem, I'm not alot though, I'm LoreFighter.
k
just died in woods, only to find out some random mosin potshot i took into the trees headshot a lv31-50
that's great
Can someone help me with delivery from the Past?
Any new players need some help and people to play with? 18+ East Coast.
Anyone selling or haveing a MP5SD silancer ?
hmm
can i call someone and ask u 1 really simple question please i really need help
is anyone available to guide for a quest?
I need help im lvl 9 @wanton tendon
So i heard this is a good place to come if I'm in need of knowledge?
Do i just drop into a channel if there's room? How does this work?
@night venture ask questions here and the experienced people will answer
What’s a veritas?
Can anybody help me on health care part 3
@subtle dome Guitar pick

But what ammo
No like what is the best one
BS, Ignolik
BS can be found in Reserve
That is the best one
Moderate price I say BT
Thank you
Enjoy
did discord overlay change for anyone else?
i cant see any lobbies anymore lol
nvm
At what level can you put suppressors on weapons, do I have to unlock the weapons bench to do so? Also at what level can I buy the OP SKS, all I can buy rn is a normal SKS from prapor
@upper prism prapor level 2 to buy op sks you can put suppressors at what ever gun takes them you just have to find the right one or find the mount for it not all suppressors and mounts work on every gun. weapon bench/workbench just makes modding your guns much easier and organized would definitely recommend for new player just search up how to use them then you can search up weapon builds
Oh thanks dude, really appreciate it. Also where can I see my vendor level. I just have question marks on the top right corner of their icon.
question mark is for traders you havent unlocked it should have I for level 1 and II For level 2
if you ever need help with task or just need someone to play with i can help you out ive been playing for 4 wipes 😛
Oh thanks dude I really appreciate it
I’ll be doing some runs later tonight if you want to join
sure just add me and dm whenever
I’m going In Reasonably geared, SKS balaclava sling. Lol
ok sounds fun i may go all out lol well see
Well see
I was just in a queue and waiting for player, it then send connection lost and i lost all the stuff that i was taking into the raid
I was just in a queue and waiting for player, it then send connection lost and i lost all the stuff that i was taking into the raid
@hexed maple ok
congrats
@hexed maple I got that problem too, if you’re playing with someone make sure you host the game
or that the host in playing on servers you have decent ping to
I was solo
Looking to play with someone experienced. Level 13NA
So I'm green as they come, do any level 1 traders sell sights for the mosin or am I stuck with the irons for now
Ah dang, I can't see jack with the irons lol
you got both frontsight and rearsight ?
bc ive seen many people run without and oh my god 😆
I just bought it off, I think it's prapor who sells it,
yea
Comes with both I would imagine
well, level your prapor when you can
yeah
you can purchase a scope like this from lv2 prapor
its a WW2 era gun and scope but it does the job
That's beautiful
there is a captcha in tarkov?
hey somebody wanna play ? 😄
Also
For the prapor shotgun quest
Can I find the shotguns as a scav? By killing other scavs? Or do I have to be PMC
@bold kernel You can find them as a scav. I regularly find scavs that have them on the pier of shoreline, and the construction site near the pier
Some help what are the best video and audio settings
I don’t know a ton but turn the in game ram cleaner off
and postfx kills ur fps
Where’s the best place to get the white armor i need for the skier quest?
factory there's 3 static spawns pestily made a guide about it
@subtle dome Trying to solo factory as a new player and getting out alive will leave you bent and broken quickly. All ground stashes spawn the 3M armors now, so any map that contains these are worth it. You'll make money alongside your quest - Pop scavs you see along the way and find a map of stashes for whatever map youre playing, plan a route and get busy
Alternatively you can find a 5 man squad for factory and that way you wont have any players trying to murder you. Easy way to farm the scavs there & the spawn in the office
Just look out for Player Scav gang
playerscav GAAAANG
How hard is woods when doing the Scav hunting with no armor? I figured just buying a silenced VPO with half decent ammo and a scav vest would be a cheap way of running, just terrified because every time i go on there i get killed/shot at by thermal bros
@night venture wear armor... when you see a scav, put your armor in your backpack, kill scav, wear armor again
This is how I did it
Yeah that totally won't get him killed.. be an operator and just go naked with a mosin
Yeah, i think the more naked the more better, i just wanted someone to weigh in on the VPO idea (i need to spend money at Jaeger anyways). Any armor good enough to be on woods would be raising my kit value by way more than the gun would be worth, considering all the 7.62x51 and 54r users on that map.
For jeager just buying the CMS kits will add up over time
I have way too many to buy extras right now
At a certain level you'll unlock the Vudu scope from him.
As for cheap snipers, I highly recommend short barrel DVL if you want something that's absolutely silent & green.
As a newb with mostly level 3-4 armors i tend to die too often to be able to staple myself up
The entire kit including scope is like 150k
I'm hunting scavs, not players with lvl 5-6 armor tho
True, but part of that quest is also learning how to overcome being a frail target in a woodland area. Play towards the strengths. Buy a tarzan rig, bring a lunch and just be a bush wookie for a while - Don't forget to cover your face
Does anyone wanna do some runs with me, iam new btw so my game experience is garbo
I guess i'm going to have to become that which i hate, oof
What a rat?
Batman ^
bushman
Oof
Only when becoming a snake in the grass, you'll learn the secrets to defeating them
This is true
Not rlly xd
Yes really.
Is there really a big difference between the benefits of a green gun like a DVL and something not green, like a Mosin or VPO?
no
Is it worth playing ultra graphics except of high?
Yes. The DVL is impossible to hear the direction the shot is coming from if you're further than 50 meters from the target you're shooting at
My pc can handle it but i just dont rlly see the advantage
If you don't think it is prettier don't
Also I cannot tell you how many times I have been walked by, by squads, when wearing total green camo and my dvl. As long as you manage your sound and don't move there's a chance they will just pass you
Whats the Helmet with the highest Ricochet chance?!
Wait, is the DVL integrally supressed?
The DVL has a short barrel that comes with a super quiet muzzle device
You'll need that, not the long barrel
Ok, i'll check this out, thanks
@limpid verge I think it's the penis helmet from lvl 1 ragman if we're talking accessibility for newbs
That has saved me so many times.
Ugh, i just missed out on the lowest priced DVL that also happened to have the short barrel...
I ricochet a lot of M80's off Altyns, but that's not really super relevant imo. Many people dink me with terrible armor as long as my helmet is level 4 and above it seems fine
that's cos m80 sucks vs altyn
The barrel itself is like 20k lykos, the entire kit should be doable with no traders for less than 200k
iirc i heard the trooper mask has extremely high ricochet
For scopes, I'd recommend either the valday or the Vudu - The valday has a shorter range and smaller field of view. Vudu is for the long range shorts but still gets the job done at short distances.
Well, looks like i'm going to get the chance to try this DVL....GF is sick with "something" and my boss is suggesting i stay home until tested 😦
Rough. Good luck to you both.
Thank you
Good luck pal - Stay in the bushes and the shadows - Follow the rules in Zombieland
Looking for cheap blue keycard
wrong chat bor
What is the point of the game just bought it?
i keep finding myself running out of money, does anyone have any tips please? feel free too dm 🙂
@grizzled echo assert your dominance over other players... make money... take in the exact kits you want
Play the game exactly how you want... want to make money? do that... want to PvP? do that...
it's really up to you
@wind harbor Cat figurine + B13 mount + valday scope - buy these from the flea market, then barter the cat through praper for a silenced budget ak - Rip off the dust cover and use it at as a single fire marksman rifle - the barter comes with a clip of bp's which is a good ammo, bring a couple spare mags and you're good to go.
All in all it should come out to less than 80k for the kit
From there you can go to shoreline & just farm the stashes that you spawn near. There's plenty of them if you look up a map. It's safe, it's chill, and its decent on the money side. It will bring you limited combat experience, and it can be dissapointing to get caught on your way out
I made it to the endgame just doing that. Eventually I got good at shoreline and I can brawl in the outskirts for fun now
A safe is on average 45k ish every time you loot one
ah, i have played from 1-17 doing factory and customs and have not had much luck at all
Yeah getting out of factory in profit is tough on its own
customs, its a clusterfuck of playerscavs, bosses, grenade launchers, sniper scavs
i only play it in hopes of improving my gunplay a little
thanks puppet imma start trying shoreline
Shoreline is a bit more laid back because most of the people who go there, are resort monkies that just fight over that one part of the map and leave the rest pristine for the rats
on shoreline do you mean stick too the coast? i always seem too get picked off from the woodline when i am on the coast 😦
Aye, the thing about shoreline is the shape of the map is a giant hill
The resort is the highest point, beach the lowest
im looking for help wherever i can get it haha
im only level 4 it will be fun
always feel like i am doing something wrong when playing :p
We can hop into a 4 man if you want
o well not rn
im in school
thinking at like 3:00?
ayo water accept de request
we can play lator
accepted
can anyone help me with my therapist selewa quest
Also having trouble with it myself haha
lvl 11 North American servers down for whatever
@bold kernel @visual zealot it's literally just finding them in raid...
Never would've guessed, Mr. Detective.
I think he's asking for helping finding some.
They don't been need to be fir, get your mes station leveled up and you can craft them
Or possibly ask maybe a Sherpa to being you them in/someone else in the discord idk if people do that
If you wanna farm them, while doing your customs quests check the med building
Usually you can come across them in the big room with the tiled windows
Where's the med building on Customs?
I've got a rough idea of the map, but not the specifics
@static turret they need to be found in raid
I am just doing shoreline scav island runs
Where's the med building on Customs?
@visual zealot ill find a map that shows where it is
also im pretty sure they dont, although crafting items in hideout give fir items anyway
so yeah best bet is just do med runs or craft them
Yeah for the basic first quest they don't need to be FIR
Also, does the 'Ran Through' status actually do anything?
less xp as well
@visual zealot prevents you from being able to sell things on flea
run through = nothing will be Found In Raid
I see. So nothing to worry about for me currently.
And thanks! I've gone around that building a few times, but never did go into it.
Yooooo a player scav just killed me gotta love it xd
Generally run-throughs are considered poor form lol, but other than cant sell on flea there's nothing wrong with getting them
I mean, went in as a pistol scav, found a dead guy full of loot and managed to get it all, get out 🤷
also i think it affects survival rate, but if you dont care about that then youre all good
aye nice
Whats a Reserve?
a map... it's like a military installation
With loads of high value loot, raiders, and snipers hiding everywhere.
level 9 any1 trynna play
hi guys i have a task to kill scavs in woods, i need 9 more kills, can someone help me?
hello would anyone help me whit start out and i start not long about 3 week ago if you can help me just pm me i get back you to soon i can
do you have roubles?
almost none
Indeed it is not
I keep trying to just find good stuff in factory.
I'm guessing this isn't the map for low tier scrubs like me?
Customs or Reserve are much easier to loot and extract as scav
Factory is mainly just pvp
And if you dont know it well run it offline and learn the maps
I need someone to help me with shoreline tasks
i need someone to go to woods and get the jager massage and then kill scavs
am i missing something? was a scav, leaving interchange with 30 seconds to go, leave at emercom but when i get out it says MIA??
is there some rule against getting out in the last 30 seconds or something
It shouldn't do that
i need someone to help me sell, i played interchange with a friend today and made bank. my stash is full and i dont know what ill need for quests in the future
remember therapist will give you super close to ideal price if your under flee market able
if she cant buy it try mechanic, skier, prapor then rag
swap ragman and skier. also jaeger buys melee weapons for a good price
yah ^
but focus on usable hideout stuff.. hoses, duct tape, nuts, bolts and screws... and light bulbs
the rest you can sell.. if your able try to use backpacks into backpacks to create space
if there are any billionairs pls help me i sold whole inventory to vendors to aford list of thicc from private clinic and it wont sell pls buy it will change my life
for guns try to strip and see each part separate to machinic you get more money that way
if there are any billionairs pls help me i sold whole inventory to vendors to aford list of thicc from private clinic and it wont sell pls buy it will change my life
just extend the time if it gets low. and next time sell it for less if it needs to sell fast
Anyone around to potentially give me some tips if possible? 😦
When sprinting and getting into a fight don't just stop running. Hit your sprint button again to start walking then let go of W. You get your weapon up much faster.
That's actually helpful for me, ty
When fighting NinjaEgg, is it best to be stationary or can you strafe a bit and shoot?
I keep seemingly get owned by PMCs with pistols against my guns with armor as they often kill me before I see them atm
Trying my best to learn and watch videos but struggling :p
cover and peeking from different spots is really good. If you can't cover like that then moving is better than standing still
camping prone or crouched gives you a huge advantage. It mitigates recoil and you are a smaller target
Is camping a worthwhile tactic for a n00b? Atm I'm sticking to customs, moving around slowly (not running) and trying to look 360 but die so often
Tarkov is synonymous with struggle. If you feel discouraged don't just watch highlight vids. Even top tier streamers get shit on all the time in this game.
Yeah being still somewhere covered on a mid to high traffic area is ridiculously advantageous. Exfil camping is kinda lame though.
whats the fastest way to level 10
factory if youre good at PVP, else quests
Tasks in general. People really familiar with the game and great at PVP and raider fights farm raiders on Reserve and Labs or wreck factory for huge 20K exp raids.
What are Raiders? AI?
Thanks btw Ninja! Im trying to practice to get my aim better ASAP
yeah. Raiders with aggressive as hell AI and better equipment
Happy to give what meager help I can!
if you want to try them out and have a labs card do labs offline with scavs and bosses turned on
they spawn on reserve too
@open prism has it sold yet?
yeah. You can offline labs without losing the keycard to learn. I don't play that map myself
guys please help me!!! i unlocked the flea market then i put the graphics card for sale and i removed it because i wnted to change the price but now i cant find it
please help me
where is it gone
@open prism got you homes
@patent scarab look for a message from ragman
thank you man i was really scared lmao
Cheers. Glad you found it
@carmine gust i have a question
i have a task for skiers i need to give him 3m armor for a task
but does it need to be full health?
the armor?
No
none
thanks man
Yeah man
you can buy them too if you have flea
yup. Or stashes and there are 3 spawns on factory.
which is probably best since they are bad price/slot
yeah it really is
@open prism Anything to help out the new folks
just overpaid by like 6 mil. what a nice guy
And I already have everything to do the vendor trade from Therapist, just doin my part 🙂
Straight ballin
It's just money, It'll find its way back lol
Lol good attitude.
Can't take the vidya games too seriously, its bad for your health
there is a 133 shotgun for sale with it RN for 23 k.
Look for 133 for sale and then look at the pics for a pistol grip. People sell them without realizing the part is worth double that
25k Druwer is the seller.
guys i have did all the attachments and he doesnt accept it
what do i have to do
@carmine gust .
a barrel.
wich one?
What's the best way to level recoil control & other recoil related traits? Or is it not that important?
510mm MP. On the link I sent you can click inspect view and it will show everything
i need help getting loot. Im a level 3 pls help me out
Recoil control is just shooting, the more you shoot, the more it goes up
@patent scarab Under inspect it shows the complete gun with everything. I GTG now so good luck.
in your pic you have the barrel sitting right above the gun lol. Just attach it
@carmine gust thank you man
Scav runs are your best friend when you are low level. Scav, do an offline raid with your pmc, then scav again. Keep doing this to get loot and learn maps. Then take the loot in with your pmc and do quests
Playing on a scav is a waste of PMC experience.
Even if you die within a minute with your PMC, you'll usually max out on endurance XP by the time you die.
Soft skills help immensely.
What's the best way to level recoil control & other recoil related traits? Or is it not that important?
@spark birch best way is to fire on auto. The best way I have found to do this is to fire a full mag or two when I'm exiting on my PMC.
It is very important to level your recoil control. You should at least go through one mag of 30 rounds per raid for efficiency, preferably 3 mags, but you'll hit the point of diminishing returns hard after the first one.
PMC and Scav experience is separate tho, he said get loot not rank up, so scav run throughs would be easy loot for a level 3
At level 3, every point of XP is important in order to hit level 10 ASAP and unlock the Flea, the kit you get when you start should be sufficient for most players.
I'd even recommend not healing in the end-raid screen and manually heal your self with the starters grizzly, and when that runs out, cheese.
It gives you health XP and level XP.
ok... but again he asked how to get loot not level up
Looking up a youtube video is more than enough to learn the high traffic loot spots.
Going in blind is also a choice, but not a good one.
are there beginner groups?
Does anyone have not FiR ledx's they can give me
Is there any1 who will help me get my task done so I can speed to lvl 10?
Which task

im new to this tortur- uh i mean game, is there anyone who wants to play and help me? I am terribly lost and confused. 😦
am new, have loaded into 5 games in factory so far and have died within the first 15 secons each time
^ basically the same lol
i hear its a good idea to play offline first and learn maps
so thats what im gonna be doing tonight then, i cant wait til im actually good at this game lol
im still trying to figure out how to not die to the wind blowing a bit too harshly lol
@summer blaze @bold kernel ill help u two with factory if u want
in an offline match rn gimme a sec
thanks how do I join you?
cool, got shot in the stomache and didnt have a way to heal, but im ready now
so im on reserve, and im in tech room building
and for some reason
the entire placae starts shaking mad
and massive gunshots went off

just looking for someone who knows the map
Anyone have any tips when it comes to earning money? I'm a level 20, and I went broke after running gear for awhile. Not sure what map I should be running to earn money with minimal gear

Where should I loot? and what loadout
loadout is preference dude... there is no 'preferred' loadout
Yeah just looking for lower end suggestions that aren't too bad
Wasn't asking for a specific loadout tailored to me haha, just suggestions man
@earnest shadow a shotgun is devastating and cheap...
Appreciate it! Any sort of shells you would recommend?
8.5 buckshot, or AP20 slugs
Appreciate it! Ill give that a shot
@earnest shadow slugs are really accurate at range and can one tap strong helmets... buckshot will instantly black legs... slugs you have to be a lil more accurate with, but i prefer the buckshot more
anyone wanna run woods scav kills?
Quick question guys, are extracts always the same or are they all different? I'm watching geekseh's beginner guide and it says crossroads and ZB-1011 are always available. Is that still true or has it changed?
but is it those 2 in particular? theyre like the only 2 i understand and can get to without dying most of the time...
@summer blaze The map is split into 2 halves:
If you spawn on side A you have crossroads as your extract 100% everytime it will be there
If you spawn on side B you have zb-011 as your extract everytime it will be there available
as a PMC
zb-013 is also always available for both sides but requires a factory key and is half way between both spawn 'areas'
i coulda sworn I had a game where I was at the smoke stacks and the extracts was all the way across the map... maybe I was playing scav then...
I hate zb 013 😦
Scav exits are much different
Im level 63 and still can't figure out the customs scav exits half the time LOL
T v T
Shoreline too; very ambigious location (extract) names requiring a map to find as a scav
rn im just abusing wat I can with my tiny 2x2 box and dying 90% ofd the time lol
I just went to reserve d2 tunnels night time with a m870 + flashlight; korund and penis helm with 100 magnum buckshots and killed 4 raiders and extracted :D
practice makes perf
no RR or backpack or rig even 🤣
armors apparently useless rn for a new player and so are helmets. guns are peashooters to most people besides AI that can 1 tap me x'D life is beautiful
most PMC will kill you instantly if they are good; armor is for scav protection or PMC being cheap (like me) LOL
i grabbed a therm last game and instantly got me brain escorted out of my head
Yea therms do not equal kills unfortunately
what kind of thermals?
analog one
ooo those gauge things
27k if i sell to therapist
yep
almost lvl 4 T v T i dont wanna lose free healthcare on lvl 5
how much would it cost to fully heal after no more Medicaid?
I wouldnt use therapist heal at all personally
Id skip it everytime and heal myself in my stash because it grants Health points in the stat Health
eh, I do it out of convivence
does it cost more or less if u do it in stash?
1000 raids of convience = level 10 health or 15% chance less to fracture
1000 raids of skipping therapist and healing in stash after every raid = level 30+ health or 45% less chance for a fracture
you do you; though
huh... guess ill just heal myself if it aint too bad....
I would :)
i just gotta make enough $ each time with my 2x2 to pay for it x'D
life is suffering, suffering is tarkov, tarkov is magic, and magic is heresy
The new loot system with armor and packs etc spawning in hidden stash; Id say all new players should be learning where the hidden stashs are on Customs/Interchange/Shoreline
start a raid as a pistoler naked and come out with a 100% tv-110 armor and a tier 4 helmet with a small pack full of random shit to just sell
wouldnt that mean everyone wanna do that? and that means more people D: and ill die
@strong barn false equivalency. How long does it take for a thousand raids to heal in stash- I could very well level my health to the same, if not more levels of health during that time.
@slender vapor My point stands:
X number of raids not using therapist heal VS x number of raids using therapist heal = less health points for the player who used the therapist heal with all damage considered equal
The number of raids is irrelevant; its simply a number out of thin air incase you could not tell 🤣
I understand your point, I just think its misrepresenative
Can anyone let me know where can i find fuel ?
@indigo river back right of Oli
or scattered around oli in general
on interchange
@strong barn When did they fix the fact that you get xp for doing stuff out of raids? It's always been that metabolism and healing, while it shows that it gives xp, actually doesn't when you're not in an active raid
@summer blaze Try learning the shoreline map and stashes. Avoid the middle area of the map where the high tier loot is (resort). You can easily make 3-400k per successful raid if you hit up an average of 15 stashes and just get out
Shoreline itself has +40 stashes in the outskirts, so you're highly likely to just have a route that leads you by 10 of them while on the way to the exit. The challenge becomes dodging gunfights that you're not comfortable with. Embrace the Matrix and become Neo. Dodge bullets and leap buildings to get away from the agents
Or even better, treat the map as if you're at a friends house for a sleepover and you're actively trying not to wake anyone up while moving across the map
The big thing about Shoreline is that 70% of the lobby will go to the resort, and either die / stay there for 25 minutes. That leaves 4-5 players in the outskirts that you'll have to either murder or evade to get out alive.
I managed to survive for 22 raids in a row on shoreline just hitting up stashes and minding my own business. The streak ended because I ran face first into Sanitar.
I also got in to a couple pvp skirmishes, had raids where i ran out of meds and had to just bolt it for the exit. Its a good map for learning a variety of survival skills
Ram cleaner is best to be on @subtle dome
I am using it now instead of tarkov ram cleaner
@foggy basin do you have a link to a good guide on the stashes at shoreline?
what are dog tags for? i got lucky and downed my first PMC whos like lvl41 with s scav shotgun x'D
@foggy basin If you go get injured in a raid; check how many Health points you are at
Kill yourself
Go to your hideout; check how many Health points you have (lets assume 10/100)
Skip Therapist heal; heal in hideout
Go see how many points you have now; it does affect it
I understand your point, I just think its misrepresenative
@slender vapor Well it is not: as I have provided all variables and justified their potential values and their relationships.
Goodluck to you sir
You have not. You’ve set it as a binary equation- You have said noting about the time it would take to acquire the meds and use them, sure it’s not much, but it does add up enough if your point is leveling up health.
I spawned at east side of customs, both confirmed extract is on the far west. isnt zb 11 always avaiable for west side spawns?
@slender vapor Meds are always available from therapist ; and take 2 secs to purchase
This is the trade off for using therapist heal vs paying for your heals
You are talking semantics.
I personally never use therapist after raid heal as you don't get XP for it :/
If you use a Grizzly to heal your self after raid, it's a single click to heal all injuries.
A grizzly is also cheaper than the after raid screen heal.
^ I usually keep a stock of them, they are usually fairly cheap
- Semantics are a legitimate form of debate, especially when the skill points gained are minuscule.
- The grizzly trade is just that, a trade- To insinuate it takes 2 seconds to buy is incorrect.
I’m aware of that.
I did do that, but it gets annoying to grab a new one every ~10 raids
My poin isn’t that he’s wrong, it’s that he’s being disingenuous and dismissive.
It's just a little bit of min-maxing in Tarkov.
buy them? just find them in raid yo
I agree- I’ve never disagreed with that. But to say the other side has no benefits is wrong. That’s my major point
Eh, it’s like 5k per slot
its profit vs necessity to me. Ill grab stuff that I use that isn't super valuable to just fill space.
If I make it to the end of the raid with it, woo
if I don't, woo got something more valuable
- search xp
Neither of you are wrong. It can shave off some seconds per raid, but that choice is completely up to you. I'd say it's more advantageous to manually heal though.
^- That’s my point
@foggy basin I think you mean looting xp
@spice pecan fair enough, I generally only grab stuff that’s at least 7-8k per slot or quest items
or you could go with the giga chad rat option, don't heal and pop a green stim at the start of the raid. I used to do this when I would pistol run, just for the extra in-raid XP and skills
I'd stick with 10k+, there are plenty of items that are worth that much.
Nuts & bolts, multiple food items, random attachments.
That’s what it ends up being typically
7-8k is an absolute minimum and I rarely get items in that range
I eat food when I find it for metabolism so
*xp
Tarkov is so plentiful with loot, you'll even fill a 48 slot backpack and 24 slot rig with random junk worth 10k/slot.
The hardest part is getting out of there with that loot.
i agree
Assume the "Chunky boi crawling" stance does help
Customs stash runs are good for it
Pretty easy to get ambushes and survive doing that
I'd say Shoreline stashes are safer, Customs has a higher profit per hour though, assuming you survive.
There isn't really a wrong way to play, I'm personally partial to PvP. Though it sucks they game has basically zero incentives to pvp these days, mostly just a money sink
PvP is the only thing you can do after you've completed all those tedious tasks.
fair point
Then you can do them again the next wipe. I've pretty much given up on them, but that's because I've got EoD. All my traders are maxed out.
If you're a little bit lucky and got decent knowledge of the game, you can max out all your traders within a day with EoD.
And, well. That's where a lot of players stay.
Kappa is just achievement hunting.
I started super late in the wipe last time, this time around I blew through as much of the hideout and quests as fast as I could to get the passive income
Yeah, that's what I'd recommend everyone to do. 1m/day is just ridiculous.
Well, closer to 1.2m/day with the current BTC prices.
BTC is just insane nowadays
even when btc was locked at 110k, it was still worth to max everything out (took about 30 days for a roi, that is like 10-15 now lol)
Now it does, things started shooting up after the election
Yeah I figured they would
I bought some (some meaning part)
Should probably sell soon though
It's just economics. You get an interest rate of over 2000% annual.
The only requirement is that you log in at least once every 15 hours if you've got 50 GPUs in there.
I wish we could upgrade the amount of BTC the farm can hold, that'd make it so much easier.
I think Elite hideout skill gives you +2 capacity.
Just going to say, crafting and hideout management take a ton of work to lvl
Ive been on top of my hideout since they were added, and progress has been slow
It helps
oh for sure
Getting that to elite... ehh
You can powerlevel it with gasmask filters, they're only 2 minutes each.
So not exactly a good idea. Repeating crafts takes off +2.5 points
though gas masks are down to 1:30 for me lol
Doesn't that only apply to the crafting skill?
Hideout management is unaffected as far as I know.
it does,
Oh, shame.
ive been running air filters 24/7 as hideout management is +1 per craft and +1 per 10 points off water, air, and fuel
but it get's harder to lvl as your level goes up, as each thing takes longer to be used. Blue fuel is at 42 hours use time for me lol
if only you could dismantle parts of your hideout (looking at you solar panels)
It should be time based instead of resource based, that'd be a simple fix for that issue.
That would make entirely too much sense.
also did the math, I could have elite crafting in 2 days.... it would just cost me about 100m in gas masks lol
(and hope that people don't start jacking up the price)
@spice pecan Pretty sure diminishing returns applies to hideout crafting as well
As in if you spray 190 rounds in a raid you reach 'diminishing returns' on the recoil control skill until you leave the raid and start another one to avoid cheesing
IMO its better to rotate two cheap shitty items for crafting so you always get max points per station instead of the same item repeatedly in the same station
^ that is exactly how I have been doing it, seems to be working out
but that calculation was with diminishing returns
Excellent
but that calculation was with diminishing returns
@spice pecan
Ah I may have missed that in chat; seems legit though 🤷
😳
@bold kernel , teach me your ways. I have just been rotating through the cheapest/fastest crafts I can
3 man #1 for customs
I know the crafts are 2.5 for completing and 1 per hour of craft, just no clue how you did it so fast
i found a drill
should i keep it?
and no not a hand drill
jsut a plain old blue drill
i think i have all the dorm keys, but can never make it longer than 4seconds inside lol
3 man #21
Hmm I can say that I have been getting 2.5 from it when I alternate... just finished one
@tired sail #pvp-lfg
I work from home, so upkeep hasnt been anything too bad, the skill has been updating properly after each craft
pick up that is
Fair enough, dropped from 94.0 to 88.0
hmmm so what crafts did you go for. I usually just craft ammo to sell
Welp, looks like Ill be doing the longer crafts from now on
@bold kernel Not at all worried about profit. Still sitting on 20m cash 200m stash value. Just looking to lvl the skill as fast as possible
can somebody help me out with the pocketwatch and aquifier quest?
anyone willing to help a newbie? can't last longer than a few minutes trying to do quests before running into a squad or heavily geared solo
@bold kernel well if you do happen to know, just lmk 🙂
what does dogtags do
im looking for someone to play with that is good so i can learn som stuff too when we play but i also want to have fun i can play tomorrow from 16 00 sweden time to 23:00 sweden every day so hmu im eu btw
my shooting range says constructing and has no time left but i cant do anything
does anyone know whats wrong
nevermind
@sinful acorn just restart your game
@ionic schooner #pvp-lfg
@frozen sundial They are used for a few quests, a handful of trades, and for selling to therapist
@frozen sundial They are used for a few quests, a handful of trades, and for selling to therapist
@spice pecan oof higher level more money? coz i killed a lvl 61
yep, that should be a good little chunk of change
Dog tags are worth 360 rubles per level, but I'd save them up for an items Case. You can trade 140 dogtags that are above level 15 for a single Items Case.
Or be like those weirdos that keeps streamer dogtags in the top of their stash as a trophy.
LF someone to help me run the quests/learn the maps
anyone want any beginner help?
How's Jim?
he got the virus
been doing that for years
Gone downhill, eh?
hes a paranoid schizophrenic
The Truman Show effect?
must be hah
what does the giant green filter do?
any NA wnna duo factory for a bit?
Any NA people wanna have a few runs? My 2nd time on since wipe. Got lvl 25 last time, im no chad tho. just looking too run some games!
im down
i always keep forgetting, is higher or lower mda better?
whats best ammo for pm makarov?
Lower MOA is better, because it represents the radius of the accuracy of your gun
the best is pbm
Hey guys I haven't played tarkov in a long while, and even then I wasn't good. I'm gettin back into it now and just need some help with tactics. I've got customs kinda memorized and would love to just get some strats under my belt. Thanks guys if you can offer any assistance I'd appreciate it.
fairly new could i get some help learning this game?
best place to find bronze lions?
Used too ?:/
yeah i sold them all a couple months ago
@sand wolf last night i lost over 240 rounds of ammo that was 2,000 a piece heh
i was joking xd
ah gotcha
any recommendation on in-game headset to use? I feel like comtacs is giving me hard time to listen on footsteps should I move to sordins?
so im doing prapor's first quest of killing 5 scavs. I went in with a scav and killed 3 but died. does it not count with scav? or was it the dying part?
Need someone to help me get to level 10 lol
@summer blaze The quest only counts when you play as a pmc. A scav is like a side narrative of the game to help you get loot. So playing as a scav doesn't do anything for you quest-wise
D: rip i thought itll count but guess not 😦
It would be nice, but it isn't your pmc unfortunately
i tend to just die with pmc and lose whatever I bring so I pref scav 😦
so thats gear and healing and what not all gone
can someone help me extract on woods, need to kill 15 scavs, got my own gear please dm me (US WEST)
@errant sluice if I go in a group would the scavs my teamate kill count for me? or must I be the one who does the shooting?
@summer blaze you have to be the one killing the scav as PMC
so if I bring some friends in them killing the scavs wont count even if im running pmc?
nope
you can bring a buddy that shoots them in the chest once with high damage ammo so you dont need to shoot them as much but thats about it
my god these tasks are harsh .-.
pfft
all im doing now in grabbing a tt pistol and going into customs only to die to a single bullet T - T
you think 15 scavs on woods is harsh
im watching a guide on tasks from pestily and im like bruh killing 5 is hard enough and u want me to kill 15!??!/
i wish there could be a mission mode or something to do these in 😦
practicing killing scavs in offline might help
finding them in the hard part... with the pmcs killing being the nail in the coffin...
i almost never seem to run across scavs even looking at a map .-.
then a pmc just 1 shots me since i cant afford running anything worth a damn yet
and all i have is a tt with 8 rounds x'D
Wish I could help but im in brazil and I have terrible server selection just lost my best loadout from joining +300 ping game
no prob man its the thought that counts lol ill just have to go beg someone to help me tomorrow or something and with some luck actually find a scav...
i might be able to join ya tomorrow
great to hear! i need all the help i can get. just hit lvl 4 and my free healthcare has already ended and I thought it was suppose to last to lvl 5...
so now every death costs $ and so does the gear T - T
Pog i reached it after 3 weeks of playing tarkov
Want me to play with you @frozen sundial
/
anyone need anything? lvl 45 with 30 mill and nothnig to do
I spawned with a SAN room 216 key, its worth almost 200k, should I sell it?
Just depends on if you want to use the key or just need money atm
I spawned with a SAN room 216 key, its worth almost 200k, should I sell it?
You'll make more money in that room over the lifetime ownership of the key. It's worth keeping
anyone need anything? lvl 45 with 30 mill and nothnig to do
@ionic iris i need more slots xD my invent is full how do i even get cases
Recently got back into EFT, looking for someone who can help me complete tasks. Would be much appreciated!
If anyone wants to earn a bitcoin or keycard for doing some simple things for me, hmu. On NA!
@frozen sundial this is a bit of a late reply, but you get cases by unlocking trader reputation with the relevant trader.
The ones I would try to achieve the fastest are Therapist level 2 and level 3, because level 2 unlocks scav junkbox, a massive case for hoarding loose loot and dogtags, and level 3 therapist unlocks item cases that can be bought with Euros, which can be traded for from Skier. If you'd like some help, feel free to add me!
Don't get the junk box from therapist. She charges 1.9 mil and you can get it for 750K on flea.
Yeah most cases dealers are way better. Mag boxes and Junk are the only ones I think flea is better.
Yeee
@frozen sundial this is a bit of a late reply, but you get cases by unlocking trader reputation with the relevant trader.
@bold kernel okay ty pretty hard coz i have standard so i need to sell items every run
@frozen sundial what level are you atm?
@frozen sundial what level are you atm?
@bold kernel 7 XD
@frozen sundial get to 10 asap c:
@frozen sundial get to 10 asap c:
@bold kernel ye im trying to do quests
hi guys please help me, i went to interchange and i looted some stuff that was on the ground and stuff then i go to a secret stash in the ground i looted it then extracted, but now i cant sell it on the flea market because it says you cant sell items that were not found in raid??? i found all the stuff from interchange in raid wtf is going on
Did you get enough XP?
You needed to not get a run through.
or survived for longer than 10mins
ohhh thats the problem then i extracted to early
it said when i was extracted you get not enough xp etc etc
That would indeed be the problem, have to make sure you either survive 10+ Mins or get enough XP
okay thank you man:)
Typically a scav kill is enough XP + looting experience.
Unless you are on a scav, then you can extract right away ands its still found in raid.
ANY NA GAMERS Need help with quests or what ever... Im bored.
Are you NA?
NA west
18+?
yep
guys im an level 11 i have 1,5mil but i dont know what my goal should be?
can someone help me
MURDER EVERYTHING
^
haha thanks guys
Gun go brt brt brt...
gun go poot poot
mine goes piew piew piew
@tall panther where is the carry
ah
whats the best scav case item?
ive been using moonshine but im not sure if the payout is any better than intel
my buddy and i are just looking for some people who wanna help us run woods, we just have to do a jaeger mission and kill a bunch of scavs
No, but they can go inside document cases
ok ty
@neon hound Only 500 rubles +7000 rubles case is 'garunteed profit'
The moonshine is gambling :)
yeah but im tryna actually make BIG profit though.
Scav case aint the way; Chief
No 'garunteed' way to make big profit my dude
Unless labs gamer is your thang; pick a map you like and go make millions on it :)
im looking for someone to play with that is good so i can learn som stuff too when we play but i also want to have fun i can play tomorrow from 16 00 sweden time to 23:00 sweden every day so hmu im eu btw
@neon hound The moonshine will get you the most expensive items in game, and it'll help get you some of the items for the Collector Task for Kappa... but You only make profit every 4th or 5th moonshine... you probably end up losing 10-20% of the money you put in... It's more for the fun of seeing what you get
thats what ive been running, thank you!
im okay with losing money, im just waiting for a big ticket item to come back
Tarkov scratch cards
Is RB-AK rlly a 700k key?, just got out of a scav run and didn't realize it was worth so much I dont wanna list it unless I know it will sell bc the 170k fee is a bit
what is the best way to learn a map and how long does it take?
i just played it over and over again, also running it as a scav. I always had the mapgenie up on my second monitor but i know thats not always available, so pulling it up on your phone or even printing it out will help you learn extracts and what not alongside the map. Other than that, im sure watching a streamer play can kind of help you understand points of interest because they usually go to gunfight-heavy places
ty ty
hope it helps 🙂
@misty inlet if youve played bigger maps in other games before, then it shouldnt take a long time... what takes a bit of time is learning where/when/how you use certain extracts
I just have awful directional sense and don't know all the callouts
sometimes i just get lost and end up heading to the exact opposite of where i need to be
some maps are a little easier than others to orient yourself
woods can be difficiult
ah yes it looks like i am in woods by the tree and the other tree
buying the compass could help too
A compass helps you get your bearings when you're starting out, but once you start recognizing landmarks, it's fairly pointless.
well it just seems like they are still learning so it would probably help for a little, but yes i do agree it becomes useless after a little while
how do i level up peacekeeper LL?
if anyone has a scav loadout that has a blackrock rig on that they are willing to pass me for Sew It Good pt. 4 that would be super cool. NA West :p
how do i level up peacekeeper LL?
@nimble anvil completing the quests he offers is probably the fastest way
when will he start giving me quest.
unlocking Peacekeeper quests all starts with Skier - be it, Friend from the West Pt.2
im litterally brand new to the game and looking for someone to roll with and show me the ropes... thanks
server?
honestly i dont know what that means lol
like where approximately are you located
oh sorry UK
@fringe mantle did you you just buy it?
yeah last night
i can help ya in voice chatt if you'd like
get you kind of pointed in the right direction
oh, I can't play with UK, the ping in unplayable for me to connect there, but yeah i also can help in voice chat
iv got the basics down i watched a load of YT vids on it i just need help getting around the maps and where the extracts and spawns n stuff are
you need a sherpa then...
whats a sherpa sorry im unfamiliar with these terms bro.. im a noob haha
it's all good... sherpas take you into raid and show you around and stuff...
sherpa is basically a guide. someone who knows a lot of about the game and shows you the ins and outs of the game
oh cool where can i find one?
I think there is a sherpa discord, im not sure though
there are also sherpa's in this discord
ill have a look thank you for your help dudes
!sherpahub
@fringe mantle there is the discord link i beleive
@south nimbus thank you so much
guys is stash sorting fixed now? please help my inventory is fucked rn
never had an issue, unless the stash is almost full and it doesnt have room to move stuff around
ANY beginner from EU, who need help with quests or something? (EN/RU) Will help you with anything (even with the Guide quest)
hello im begining the game and i cant launch it can someone help me ?
@bold kernel I most cases it something with your connection, restart game/router and try again
#community-support @bold kernel
im lvl 7 is there any cases sold in the flea market?
thanks but i already tried that :/
@frozen sundial Scav junk box and Mag cases are cheaper on the flea because of crafting.
@frozen sundial also you will need to get lvl 10 for Flea market
@carmine gust @idle crystal Thanks guys how much are they so i can start saving xD
750-800k
Junk box is 750K and the one I would recommend getting first.
is it better to keep or sell my btc ,
@hexed maple depends on your stash money, if you are low better to sell
sell it to therapist
If you want a weapon case then save them for the trade. Otherwise I would sell.
They're at an all-time high at the moment.
I have 800k
you can try to save btc, but you will 13 for weapon case and 35 for thicc weapon case
The trade is 13 for a weapon case. It's about 3.25 mil Vs 7ish on flea so if you want one of those and have a regular source of them you can save. At 800k I would be selling.
Nice!
Have 2 rows of crickent lighters in my scav box what do i do with them
sell them, there are no good trades for that
try flea if the price is better, but it is a junk
Okay
@hexed maple 8 crickents and 6 zibbos makes a blue fuel in hideout
@idle crystal see above
@drifting jolt non profitable deal
better not to collect those crickets at all and don't waste time and space in your stash for that
That's inherently false
depending on what level it's a great craft
At a certain point there's no need to pick them up, but at lower level there totally is
it is your opinion and its good, but for me it is trash
this is for beginners... if you're not a beginner then no, it wouldnt be good for you...
They are 3k per slot, but if your container is empty, 3k/slot is better than 0k/slot.
^
i found an mes key is it valuable
im stuck on this screen can someone help me pls ? nobody respond me on the support chat :/
@frozen sundial 46K and used for at least one quest
There's also a LedX spawn in there.
Right forgot about that. My bad
@bold kernel im assuming you've restarted a few times? uninstall and reinstall the game
