can i join yall
Na itβs good man
Na man tomorrow i had to get off
Should I sell a gun that I can't buy ammo for? I picked up a hunter carbine in my last raid but none of the traders carry ammo for it. I could use it for one raid but with only 12 shots I don't feel comfortable relying on it.
@patent marsh I would say so, theres not much point in keeping it around. What lvl are you?
I just hit 4 tonight
Then yeah, I would say sell it.
Would you say it's the same for the Saika? I can get ammo for it but spare clips are rare
saiga 9 or saiga 12?
It says Saiga 12 gauge
i need help me and a friend need to unlock jaegar and we keep running into geared ppl
Keep it if you have at least 2 mags for it
I don't, just the one that's in it
I might keep it and keep checking fence to see if he picks up another mag
Nah nah, dont but shit from fence
You don't think it's worth it if I can get a second mag for my shotty?
If you really wanna then do, but you're prolly better not wasting your time looking at fence and just hope you kill/get a scav with one
or just sell the gun lol
fair enough
Can someone help me get started please? i'm level 5 and groups have said they're going to "help me" then proceed to take me to high traffic pvp areas and die until I'm nearly out of money and gear now, if you can actually help me learn the maps and stashes/etc it would be greatly appreciated
NA? I can show you my Customs stash run
loo-t routes/stashes/areas where good stuff spawns idc just not chasing people around the map losing gear
sure
and yeah
Lets get in 2 man squad #1 then
alright one sec
@carmine gust aye hop in a 3man and ill join yall
if any of yall wanna learn Interchange from an Interchange master, DM me
I have like an hour or so to play.
anyone down to drop me bit coin been rough lately im living off of prapors gifts
Tried to hatchet run and chads shooting bullets more expensive than me lmfao
@bold kernel just not having any luck on scav runs?
dying to people extract camping or raping me with 50 grum mags of igolnik star shotty and 25 vogs
looking for anyone willing to help me complete some quests! really struggling to find graphics cards
Got some scav kill quests lined up, is it a viable strat to go in with a setup that'll leave me tagged and cursed to have an easy time farming kills without having the roam the map?
Like a pistol with 1 or 2 spare mags and nothing else
@sand granite its more efficient to go to spawns youll get more and improve your scav tap abilities
can someone play with me im kinda new and need some help
@zenith igloo still need help?
can i do the find yaegars message as a scav?
no
New person here
like super new have like 1 hour played xD
i have no idea what im doing at all
and still waiting for a sherpa on another server i watched youtube but i learn better by doing
@dire rain play a shit ton of customs...
do you have a link to maps or a bullet guide?
ok... but that doesnt answer my question
due to someone saying theyd help me
and told me to bring loot and then acted friendly and killed me
There's always more loot to get dont worry
that's not typical
most people are quite helpful and friendly here
ye i have like no clue about the game at all
here's a bullet guide https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VuxGkweKB118mF1kcBmVPe-Bj_gSKGOCWyoytM4miDU/edit
Quick Reference Sheet [Up To Date]
I stream: ,https://www.twitch.tv/nofoodaftermidnight
Effectiveness,Est. Avg. Shots Stopped By Armor Before Killing
0,Pointless,20+,Can't penetrate in any reasonable amount of hits
1,It's Po...
guns dont do damage in tarkov
the bullets do
great gun and shit ammo = you dead
shit gun and great ammo = they dead
here are interactive maps https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs
Your scav is free $ basically...
You dont level any skills or anything for your PMC when you scav, but it's essentially free $ with no risk
how do you get free money ?
scav
ive killed a few people in the scav gfames
teh scav you see on the left hand side when you click 'escape from tarkov'... that's the scav you will use in raid
So you can see 'loosely' what your scav has for a kit... it wont show you the meds/ammo youll spawn with though
Your PMC is where you risk the gear you take in.. which youve done obviously
Scavs basically replace PMCs in a raid as they die...
There are AI scavs AND player scavs... AI scavs will not shoot your scav until you hurt one of them
but after you hurt one they will shoot on sight...
But if you start with shitty/small tactical rigs and/or bag... then you need to try to acquire a larger one in raid... more space = more money you can make
So some times it's recommended you kill scavs, strictly for their gear
ok question
so i can leave a game as a scav
and make money b?
cos i just killed 3 people but didnt know how to get out
scav is strictly for making $
@dire rain I suggest just researching the extracts on customs
Some are easier to use than others... Some have requirements/payment to use
god this may be a too big brain game for me xD
some can be on OR off
when people say make money on scav. when you hit level 10 you unlock the auction house
It's rather complex
you sell the scav gear to the auctionhouse and other players will buy it
You dont pick this game up over night... i spend at least 300 hours in game before i started feeling semi-comfortable
or to vendors whatever is more profitable
@dire rain It definitely is not, but the gunfights are the absolute best of any game you'll play
Nothing like wiping a 3 man with a shit gun and taking their loot
lol
This game rewards game sense and map knowledge before it rewards pure skill
im tryin to do that one day xD
So until you know a map really well then you'll already be at quite a disadvantage
im just buggin out
?
lol good luck
i got fk all else lol
even great players die more than 50% of their raids
hell, i die 70% of the time, and still have plenty of $... so dying is just an inevitable part of the game
hmm ok
making cash is stupid easy in this game if you know what you're doing
ye hmm i have no guns now
@cerulean apex soo why did u murder me ?
@dire rain was that the person that was supposed to be helping you earlier?
he was the one who took me ito my first gmae give me a tetrix
tetriz then shot me in the head
yeah, that's not cool
mhm
For the Stirrup Quest from Skier that requires me to kill 3 pmc's using a pistol could i lfg with somebody and kill them and it will count towards the quest?
this true
best part is when u kill someone take their gun and start clearing the server w it
oddly, i dont really ever use the weapons i get from other PMCs during that raid...
usually stick to w/e i bring in
i'm the opposite xD
if i get more than one good gun i just bush mine
and use theirs
I imagine that my style is atypical
@mellow matrix although ran across a streamer that'll take in weapons cases and meds cases... or like i saw him use the 600k bag and put 4 larger chest rigs in it... simply to carry more loot out
dude was absolutely nutty
like he took the chest rigs INTO raid
you can't do that anymore can you ?
as far as i know you can... just saw him do that fairly recently
i dont think you can bring in weapons cases
or thicc
idk about rest
that must have been before weight system tho
pls tell me it was xD
he would take regular weapons cases not thicc ones
watched him run like a 15 million dollar kit
wut
yeah dude... just absolutely nuts
that's like 150 mil roubles kit
he'd take in like 8 propitols and a few mule stims on top of that
he generally would take those types of kits in at night
The guy is super odd... id watch him take drags on a one hitter after not even lighting it...
less chance to get killed by player scav
I also think the dude is a furry, cause his profile mentions 2 people, yet I only ever see him
no
So i think he's referring to his alternate personality as the second person
cocks shotgun
ill PM you his account.. not a 'bad' guy... just incredibly odd
lol
OH SHIT HES ON NOW#
okay
anyone wanna help me with some quests?
SKS is bp or bt ammo better
good luck!
thanks g
LF someone who could quickly help me with telling me which barter items i should keep and which i should sell, would be much appreciated, pm me
@steady canyon If you intend on hideout upgrading than this should help https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JKzVRr6Ky8QO559YmTNgs5UbWMm3cfI2gO68XVTr3gc/edit#gid=1599749468
Sheet1
Total Items Needed For Hideout,Air Filtering Unit,Bitcoin Farm
Hardware Items,TOTAL,REMAINING,Electronics,TOTAL,REMAINING,Medical,TOTAL,REMAINING,Valuables,TOTAL,REMAINING,Bonus: Physical skills leveling boost +40%,Level 1 Bitcoin Farm
Analog thermometer,2,2,CPU Fan,50,50,Medical bloodset...
Those are all the items you need to upgrade hideout... So anythign beyond that list can be sold
not hideout upgrading, which ones i should sell or keep for like cases in the future
But i do recommend looking at each dealer's barter trades and noting ones you might use
go towards lumber if you wanna kill some scav
with the ammount of gun fire and nades from over there, immma have to pass
i would get mowed down
@hardy hamlet That's dickhead rock... I dont suggest camping on dickhead rock
If i have a scope that's the first place im looking every time
You're better off camping near the scav house ot the left... or farther up and to your right in the treeline
Is this near bunker?
ye
he's starring at bunker about 500 meters in the distance
hey guys. i'm an OCE player struggling to get kills on PMC. i have starter edition and mostly raid customs/factory. all traders are level one. I have done the first task for the scavs n shotties and am trying to complete the pocket watch, any tips appriciated !
step 1. ditch factory
step 2. try and stay away from hotspots (dorms, crackhouse, etc)
He's trying to get better at PvP not avoid it... lolz
@formal olive Run factory over and over, push the spawns... you can buy a pump shottty for 20k, and take in a like 3k in shells
or a pistol
but that'll be more expensive to run since youll need more expensive ammo
yeah, i've been pistol running to some success, i just always freak out when i get into a firefight and make shit decisions
@formal olive It took me at least 300+ hours before i felt rather comfortable in gun fights
Sounds dumb, but remember to breathe and try to stay calm...
you can get excited after you get the kill
aite thanks boys im off to put some of the advice into practice <3
ThErEs aLwaYs OnE MorE
gl my man
@formal olive Put extra bullets in your secure container, and die with meds instead of bullets...
you dont need to have a ton of mags... if you take a pistol, max of 3 mags, and keep a stack of the bullets in you secure and simply reload your mags from your secure when necessary
throw nades, hit with melee weapon, and be overweight
45 kilos or more should start to level
you can start a raid with empty fuel cans in your bag, or a couple motors to weigh you down
and start leveling at the start of raid
running overweight will level your strength AND endurance
max endurance is the shit!
@hardy hamlet let me double check]
@hardy hamlet Dont think there's anything that's cost effective at level 1 traders...
damn
except empty fuel
i guess ill just wait till i get flea
chucking smoke grenades is not super cheap, but up to the 5th grenade gets the same value i think
then after that you get a little less...
You can only level a PMC skills but so much per raid before you get dminished returns
just killed a level 34 and then got cucked by his buddy
that'll happen
yep
i suggest paying attention in raid, not discord ahaha
Woods is a shit show...
yes
anyone wanna help me kill scavs on customs? need for quest and exp for flea, im in asia servers tho
i agree
it'll be better when they add the new area though
@solid glacier #pvp-lfg might be quicker there!
i just need like 5 more
aight thanks
and am losing braincells rapidly
@hardy hamlet Near scav house is your best bet...
but if you dont spawn on that side of the map it can be a pain to get over there safely
Also recommend getting the ZB 1014 key i believe it is
fully aware
so you can use that extract
ive ran from factory gate thing to scav hosue just following the wall
its a good way to level endurance lol
I actually like crossing the map near the water, as opposed to below the lumber yard
if u wann finish scav kills on woods u need to hunt them down
near scav house is your best bet...
or that big open field on the left side of the map with that little ruins area
camp with a sniper
@hardy hamlet lumber mill
ill try that
but your run the risk of running into shturman
but i only find PMCs there
yeah ik how to check for him
thats what i did
ive been running SKS
took me 4 raids to finish 15 kills
Yeah i dont super recommend the lumber yard.... the whole right side of the map near scav house is the most reliable and more safe incomparison to camping lumber yard
if u just wanna finish the quest then buy the cheapest pistol and bring like 2 mag
and yolo it
it depends on how you play, but i personally would not recommend running the most sniper heavy map with just a pistol
i mean i get that, it's just that youre not gonna be able to 1 tap scavs as easily witha pistol from distance
im literally killing scavs while snipers shooting at me
I mean 'any strategy' can technically work....
took me 15 raids to finish 4 kills pepega
I just think it's a little counterproductive to run guns with the worst ranges and accuracy in a map dominated by snipers lol
depends on who is playing tbh
If you can be aggressive and know the map than it isnt the worst
u just need good aim
but I dont think it's solid advice for noobs
yep that map is bad
haha
@hardy hamlet Dont worry, the game will send you back several times lol
im a noob tho but thats what i did ? @drifting jolt
right right, i wasnt trying to argue iwth you at all... just merely offer differing opinion on the matter π @frozen sundial
Hey I'm pretty new to tarkov and I keep getting destroyed in pvp if any of yall have some extra time I'd appreciate it if u can help me (im in the assistance VC)
if u run a decent weapon and gear when killing scavs on woods theres a high chance ull die from a juicy boy so its better to run pistol and hope for the best
I'm trying to do reserve but keep dying almost instantly, and don't really know the exits. Can someone do a few runs with me to help me out?
wait bp is really good for sks, right?
yes
these ammo types are comfusing asf
cuz im tryna shoot peopel and these wack ass ammo types hurt my brain
what guns are you using
give him the ammo chart
its a 12.7 one but i dont think much has changed ?
besides 7.62x25 TT
ok look at this scav's ak and tell me what's wrong
w h y
this game is insanely not fun at points
i'm sorry
ill rage
omg im about to uninstall this game
was that you ? xD
no why
Well as FaZe Jev once put it, "I cant fucking compete"
i found a method that actually works for scav kills
What's that because shooting them is kinda hit or miss for me
lol not bad
pop a pai-head eyes
already finished it
nice
i stg im never playing that shit of a map again
you dont have to use the shitty lil ak now
i dont?
He may not have been on that one......
were you doing punisher pt1 ?
Punisher is painful.
it is
Ahhh. AKS would be a rough one for that
i lost about 20 SKS s trying on woods
grabbed an aks and get it done in 2 raids

wth,,,,, lots of scavs?
lots of being trash
F
43k xp
im literally not going to get to level 10 without quitting at this rate
there has to be something im doing wrong
yeah. You tried Sherpa hub?
yeah
What is your region? I may be able to give you some pointers if you are down
You know there's an application form for a Sherpa, right?
NAW
I can work with that. I'm East.
word, ill be on a good amount tomorrow
I won't. Working for a living sucks......
how much xp does your typical raid yield you
Feel free to DM me though
damn ok
like 2
what
a couple hundred lmao
that isn't too bad
Survival is where it is at. Even a run through gives that much. It's all about getting out without firing a shot at that point. Learning where people are and are heading will help tremendously especially after you are a chad going for PVP.
no im not playing rn
i find scav farming a good way to get xp
killing a scav and looting him is probably like 400
nope, its the rat life for me
haha
haha ha hahahaha
Welp sorry to lose you. GL.
Tarkov isn't for everyone. Have fun in your next game.
I wonder why people can't find the Sherpa button, is scrolling down a couple channels that hard?
Nah they said they tried it. No idea what happened with it but they at least tried.
Some people need more instant gratification... which tarkov gives you opposite of... lol
All I can see is them posting in the looking for help channel, not sending in an application for a Sherpa.
I'm sure there are some that manage to send an application, but the majority just sends messages in the looking for help/group channels.
They get ignored there.
Yeah. Never tried it myself so no idea what the process is but I try to point new people there. That one said they tried the hub but may have been a knee jerk "of course I tried it" without registering the "Hub" part.
Remember, some people are just dumb...
It's a shame that Tarkov is so unfriendly to new players.
It wouldn't have the staying power with older players if it wasn't I think. I can't think of a way to make it accessible for new people and still hold my attention.
I like it actually... Tarkov is definitely not for everyone and they dont hide that fact
It's DayZ without zombies and it's kill on sight in the majority of cases, and now it's being marketed by twitch streamers that have elite soft skills as a CoD alike.
Yeah. If you have mags bigger than 10.
Fun but uneconomical to use.
Close range, low recoil and high fire rate.
Coz i wanna main 1 rifle idk what to pick
The good ammo kills anyone within 3 shots, even Slicks.
but the ammo will shred armor. Not the VAL then. It is not something I would use as a main
Coz all i use is mp7a2 i just want a rifle xD
I doubt you can afford 150k each time you die, and that's only with 2 spare magazines.
You could try the ADAR if you can deal with semi auto weapons
Maybe ADAR then transition to M4 or for availability just go 5.45 AK's
I have like 6 meta hks from people i kill i wanna sell it but its only 100k like wtf
Otherwise the DT MDR 5.56 is a solid weapon that only needs a muzzle brake
Kinda like dt mdr used it a couple of times
The only issue is the low rate of fire.
But it's cheap, has a high ergo with decent recoil, and no one likes it because it gets outclassed by M4/HK
any noobie need help on a task? lvl 51 here
does higher ergo make ur ads speed faster
Yes
no you dont you need accurate hip firing
I barely hipfire
My 200 pmc kills at level 23 says otherwise
Hip firing saves you a lot of time and suppresses your enemy when you miss.
hip firing is very effective in this game, and should be utilized more often than most shooters
You do need a laser for effective hip fire though, otherwise your PMC just sprays circles.
Or one of those IR flashlights, they're fairly popular.
I do not concur with that assessment but you do you
you dont need a laser to be effective, it'll just help you be more accurate if youre not used to hip firing
It's not mandatory to have a laser, but the spray pattern gets affected by it a lot.
do you have proof of that? considering most lasers drop ergo?
Dt mdr 7.62 or 5.56 @quasi hawk
@quasi hawk interesting, thanks... ill have to do my own assessments
5.56
Whats the difference @quasi hawk
@frozen sundial if you shoot a lot, 556, if you more methodical the 762
They have same rate of fire right?
They do, but good luck firing the 308 at full auto.
Tried it a few times its not bad
It could be useful below 10 meters I suppose
ye i play labs mostly maybe thats why recoil was controllable
Short range engagement most of the time
Labs? You might want to stick with weapons that can actually hit your target consistently.
The MP5 with a separate silencer on it does that job quite well, and unless they're wearing Altyns for some reason, it'll face tap through all the face shields.
Or run those META guns you stole of the other lab runners.
I use mp7 with apsx
Thanks tho ill try mdr sometimes
I just got my first labs card from a raid and feel confident enough to do i run, is it worth it without any other keys/cards?
@hexed maple i mean the $ is still high without any keycards, but it's quite deadly there
If red card not on flea?
ohh
which keys would you reccomend bring in?
!wiki keys
Intel items comprise of maps, keys, key cards and other usable items that will help you get ahead of the competition - or at least know where the hell you are in Tarkov. Most of the keys can be used an unlimited number of times. Keys with a limited number of uses have their durability (number of uses remaining) listed in the bottom-right of their icon and on their inspection screen.
@hexed maple correct, no insurance on labs
looking for some one to help me and play with I m Just in lv 4
@hexed maple yes,just other players and raiders
@mellow adder yea gotcha thank you, still a bit confused tho as other people are sending to the #pvp-lfg chat so do i just look for new players here?
oh you just answered that nevermind okay thanks for your help
Look in all 3 really.
if you're new and looking for help playing, the Sherpahub discord might be a better place to look
should my fov be high or low? Does it depend on personal preference?
@earnest creek it's preference... if you have a larger monitor then you can turn it up pretty high
as low as comfortable makes everything work better. Lasers drift and sights get wonky the higher you go.
oh alright
63 is a good middle ground. Keep in mind for some reason they use vertical fov instead of horizontal like most games so its gonna be different than usual
i play at 70
huh thats why its a bit weird
70 on tarkov is 102 on most other games
i have fantastic eyesight, so i typically play with a higher FOV than others
ill test some fov settings in offline mode, thanks for the help guys
yeah dude TEST the FOV and how it works with your lasers and sights because sometimes if your FOV is too high or something your shoots will go soo far away from where you aim.
The higher the fov the more lasers seem like they are taped on. At lowest they dont sway from your point of impact at all but as you get higher they do for some reason, more and more. Same goes for red dot sights and holos, however most sights have sway regardless anyways. Its easy to test if you put on a laser and a dot and see how much they sway from eachother
Also depends on if you're using wide screen and monitor size.
I hear people comment on a specific server or group of servers has no players, how can you tell if a server or raid you hop in has other players or not?
Im here to learn to git gud
I played for a good bit last night but im kinda ass
Anyone wanna help a new player with scav runs in customs or shoreline?
last wipe not night my b
I just started a week ago and I am also ass
less than a week, I got the game monday
are you NA?
@patent marsh Dont scav run shoreline if youre super new... unless youre specifically wanting to avoid a lot of fighting... the map is too big for the little loot on it
I am NA
we can play together later when I am off work if u r interested
In my week of playing I have not killed a single player
Unless you push Resort, which I do not recommend
@patent marsh Dont worry, it'll happen
Took me about 300 hours to get semi-comfortable with PMC PvP
the mall map is a really good scav map right
In the game Launcher you can choose what server(s) to include
Limit it too 1 server and choose somewhere that--
A) Has ping as high as 170~ (but no more or autokicks occur)
B) Is nighttime in the region to reduce the player count further
Yeah I'd be down for that, I work overnight so I'm probably just gonna do a scav run and maybe a pistol pmc run before I go to sleep
Shoreline and Customs are the only two maps that I have any idea of where to extract, should I try Mall?
yea mall is pretty easy to know where to extract imo
Interchange is mad money but comes with high risk
People will camp a store in the mall for 35 minutes π€£
That's wild
hey there, just reached level 10 and unlocked the flea market.. what are some good weapons and mods for beginners?
I've died to a lot of pmc campers
@rugged rain check out that loadout tarkov smith website
what website?
@rugged rain you want a lucky scav junkbox first and foremost
What's that?
holds all the random BS you pick up across raids
idk what that is either
like nuts, bolts, lamps
ah okay I remember those I think
It's a 4x4 case that has 196 slots
oh wow that's handy
so it frees up a ton of stash space
then a meds/ammo/mag case should be next generally
NEVER buy more than 1 food case... absolute waste...
Youre going to be selling food more than eating it
when you guys move around the map, are u usually sprinting or trying to take it slow and just walk
W + Shift
gotcha what does that do lol sorry im noob and rusty
@desert solstice If you're unfamiliar with an area I dont recommend just sprinting through it til you know potentially camped spots
Literally makes me a giant dinner bell so all the people who hear me want to kill my dumbass
Then its Fight! @desert solstice Not recommended for everyone π€·
I took in a stock pump and just shells into factory like 8 times in a row last night lol
That's the life of a Shift + W player.
I guess I just get worried about making my self an easy target
@desert solstice Wurry; schmurry --theres always another raid
@desert solstice Well if you're just zooming around you cant hear as well either... sounds are VERY important in tarkov
Youll typically hear someone before you see them
Im a bat so I just echo locate
nightwoods no NVG ;)
We call those 'land dolphins'.... lolz
I voiceline into the trees and if it bounces back weird; my spidey sense tingle
I listen for the PMC farts... dead giveaway every time
gotcha and did they add another map from last wipe? im not sure of the changes they made
PMC gear is not Found In Raid anymore
@drifting jolt I hope to catch one on Thermals one day
@strong barn gotta be quick... π
@desert solstice added 5 HP to thorax... a few new bullets, few new mods, few new guns
@desert solstice correct... anything a PMC takes in will NOT be FIR if you take it from them
it's actually a great change cause down right hunting other PMCs isnt as lucrative, and therefore you're not dominated... as much
There are still people that solely play to hunt PMCs, but that's not the most lucrative style of play now, which before it was
ah and items in your secure container lose found in raid status
thats pretty wild
@desert solstice if you die yes
that probably pissed the hatchet runners off a good bit
Couldnt say... I dont really approve of hatchet running at all, but I dont have to play that way! lol
It's such a let down to kill someone at start of raid, just for them to be naked
killed a level 52 naked hatchet guy on factory earlier at forklifts spawn
Hatchet running for stuff can be decent if you know what to loot, a lot of things can be converted into FIR stuff in your hideout.
And a lot of things can be used for barters or straight up sold to Therapist.
I just meant that you dont need to resort to hatchet running... when a pistol can be bought for less than 10k
yea just not a very fun way to play
^
Like you go into a PvP based raid, to not be able to effectively kill anything...
^ Hatcheting is fun if you enjoy the challenge of trying to hit someone with it
even then there is no point unless you have a sword or an axe and 99% of the time you will die
I have 105 melee kills this wipe and this is my experience using melee (not necessarily hatchet running but hatchet running is included)
I should melee more simply for hte strength buff
Its fun; you swing faster too
Too each their own; play it how you want :D
which is news to me aha
there ya go
epic beat down fam
4 epic beat downs
Find hatchet runner
Chase hatchet runner until he is out of stamina
then I beat his ass down
seems like retribution
Hey guys, started to game 4 days ago, trying to do factory panel quest and getting killed everytime, can someone help me? (EU)
@naive geyser use #pvp-lfg and join a 5 man factory raid.. easiest way of doing it
If it's all 5, then no other PMCs spawn
thank you @drifting jolt
np
how do u turn on the light on the side of a headwear?

whats the best way to get to lvl 10?
just do ur scav always so u get loot and do the quests
i never survive when i use a scav
@coral kindle Sherpa hub is deadicated to guides and helpful members.
Best Exp gain is usually doing Tasks > Kills bonus xp for +headshot +Raiders> Checking bodies Collecting loot.
ok cheers how do i get mp153 shotguns every scav i kill they dont have one
you need 133 not 153
can you do quests as a scav?
if the quest is find x in raid then yes
@coral kindle Just keep looking.
@worthy mica You can find task materials but kills and quest unique objects are pmc only.
any eu sherpa wanna help me with my wuest?
Does anyone know is there like a safety key or somthing, I just hopped into a raid and wasnβt able to shoot anyone, I had the correct ammo and mag and everything was correct but I just wasnβt able to shoot
maybe mouse1 was unbound from shooting? check settings maybe?
or try restarting your game
Maybe no round chambered? That would be pretty rare, but itβs possible
Did you load 7.62 into a .366, or .366 into a 7.62?
I've had that bug before, you have to press esc or something. could you ADS?
having an issue with shadows in the game or something i cant see the back wall in my hideout behind the shooting range i used to be able to
where its white and green can anyone help?
Render distance maybe?
So um
I download tarkov
And then it tells me the file is not matching with something
Else so it then deletes tarkov and asks if I want to try again
I looked online and it said the best way to fix is connect though ethernet
Is their any other way to fix the problem?
ok what it says i only hit 2 out of the 5 shots but i thought they were all on him
how
theres no sound sry
he didnt even die
can anyone help with my game it takes too long to load into games like "factory" or "shoreline" for example. Anybody got any suggestions?
what is up with scavs? if you kill a player scav they shouldn't shoot you, right?
pretty sure they do unless they shoot u first
doesn't make sense tho
i like the 590
IF that player scav was passive to all other AI's/Player scavs then the AI's will consider you the threat for shooting the player scav
If the player scav hurts an AI scav or you and the AI's know about it; you have free rights to shoot and kill the player scav and the AI's will back you up
I saw a player who had a purple name calles Swats75 or something
what does that mean?
they are an Emissary in the discord; look on the right side for the members who have Purple Names that are Emissarys
I believe they are all language based; for example each emissary represents a different language like portuguese or tagalog and specialize in helping that primary language'd player to understand the game @crude locust incase the player does not know english I think
I could be wrong but I think that is what they are for
Looking for one person 18+ that would love to learn the game and have people to play with. Preferably someone that wants to be active.
can anyone help me just learn economy and the game in general
I am a big noob, no clue how to play the game
last time I brought shotgun mags for my pump shotgun
is arena out?
can someone please hop in call with me and help me for 1 min
My friend canβt get the game to download and this is popping up what do i do?
Hey I just learned about the existence of this game, but I'm not finding it on steam. Are there any plans to have it there?
@remote hinge they have their own launcher
ok, thanks
If I kill a teammate for punisher part 4 will it count?
No
damn alright
gotta level up your traders
kill scavs for them or find them in weapons boxes
is 5.45 PP Better than PS? it has a better penetration
@humble thorn More pen, less flesh damage
PP isnt the worst, but it wont penetrate level 6 armor at all
so if im just doing interchange and looting/killing scavs ps is better
yeah you could say that, if youre more for headshots than shit ammo is always better if they dont have a helmet
can someone help with my task?
@humble thorn if you can, try running bt for budget aks because for ~300 a round it does an excellent job at killing low gear players and scavs
can someone help me
any good spots for interchange SBIH
SBIH?
any advice for grinding exp on factory? Been trying to hit 10, taking a while
Anyone wanna help me learn maps? Whatever you're most comfortable with, I just feel lost
if someone wants me help me and my friend learn maps we in lfg customs#14 since all the beginner chats are full
im new i know customs but idk guns or loot like whats god or whats bad
SBIH = Shoot born in heaven. For IC, you should either pick a long hall like by window to tech light, top of power plant, top of fire barrel escalators looking into front ultra entrance, loading docks outside goshen on oli side looking to emercrom extract, bhop onto one of the bridges near railway, either of the signs camping the mall.
I personally recommend bay window where you can look towards techlight, out towards scav camp, or goshen tents.
I need help making money having strats to do it consistently
i have a stash run that i do on interchange, and when i do it with the 21WS keycard, i can make a decetn chunk of change every run
does anyone know?
?
Ah, yes. That's very useful in a beginners channel.
I was just watching Summit1G play and i noticed when he was looting a pmc, he couldn't take the compass. He also never examined one before, but i know it was a compass b/c it was in the compass slot. Is it not a lootable item?
No its not
If anyone would be willing to help me out and show me the ropes id greatly appreciate it,im level 5 and had a rough go of things but have been trying toi learn stash runs on each map but onlyt been doing customs and still have trouble finding some just hmu if youd be willing to help and tia
That's pretty cool, so it's safe to take in all the time and not worry about losing it
Would suck if it was lootable
i've yet to use my compass
its kinda worthless tbh wouldnt recommend you buy it
Should I sell my non in raid labs key to therapist or just do in to labs. Never been to labs b4
Good Morning .... I bought tarkov 3 days now ... The game is rly fun and i am glad to play but i have a problem with low fps
#community-support Probably will have people that are more keen to resolving those types of issues than here. I'd include your specs with that post too.
Yea, you have the right stuff to be higher than 40 fps.
Thx i will send there have a nice day
Do you have both of those on? Figure you'd need both in order since the ryzens have so many cores and you have 16 gigs versus 32 gigs.
auto ram cleaner is on the physical cores i dont think so i will check it right now
how do you guys get cold blooded done? i made some sparse attempts all today and only got 1 kill
just pvp thats what i did and hope i finish it
oKAY. Raiders are something else lol. I got drop shotted and tapped in the head
first time on labs haha.
@humble thorn they have an entirely different AI style than scavs
You'd be better off learning how raiders operate on reserve
power station roof camping, especially early raid, on top of the bilboard tower
fun times
ye some raiders use the most expensive ammo as well
i had a free labs key that i couldnt sell on the FM so i thought i would use it haha. I missed one shot and i died lolll
u should have just ratted till like 10 mins and loot all the dead bodies the big bois killed lmfaoo
looking to help some people with quests, @ me if you need a hand
does anyone have a link or information on how to fix the game crashing after raids, and occasionally getting kicked in the middle of matches by battleye?
No, but you may have better luck finding it at #community-support
anyone willing to help me with some more early game quests? you can have basically all the loot
anyone available to show me some tarkov stuff im brand new, i plan on playing it all the time so i wanna get good and learn the game and i'd like to get some levels to get up too flea market
@low ruin If you give me a few minutes ill help you out
loading into a factory raid
this is why kids you shit and piss before a raid lol kid was afk with all this shit
double thermal
brilliant
@quick pasture i think i came a lil bit
@drifting jolt slick and juice cannnon this raid
and svds mpxs and i was 102.3 kilos this last one
that's donkulous
if anyone can help me with pvp im in third VC
am I missing something for the gunsmith part 2?
I feel like I have everything that I need
Did check the tarkov mission wiki
@candid mason fold it
Ik just pray xd
^
I fuckingdied out of all thinks because of a fucking mine
what a fucking way to start of my weekend
@hot tree thankss β€οΈ
pray to allah
found a gen4 last raid, and a gzhel this raid in just caches
absolutely ridiculous... hit every single cache around the left and bottom sides of interchange... 3 raids in a row, made at least 3 mil easy
that's 14 caches a raid
i lied... 16, but id skip 1 or 2
Reeeeee
Caches are op but rely on not behaving like a dumb ape, so they're balanced lol
I got a mint gzhel from one once too
@candid mason did you got out
This is kinda the bulk of what 3 raids of caches got me
Stash runs are super good if youβre in need of cash
Or just looking for any goodies I guess
also, ive been getting into a habit of doing scav cases quite often, are they worth it? ive mostly been doing the Intel ones
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712803378018910284/784411272951103508/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712803378018910284/784411370257907722/unknown.png could someone help me free up some space ? Like what is worth keeping or selling
Gmcount and djeta can go. I wouldn't keep the cheeses cause any other med kit will fix light bleeding, so they're just for scav runs when you don't have any healing. Otherwise I'd just sell stuff and do pmc raids until you die or hit level ten to start purchasing further storage.
Yup.
How to upgrade my alpha?
At peacekeeper level two, I believe, you can trade for a beta container. Or do quests and the punisher quest line will give you a bigger container than even the beta for 'free.'
Alright thanks
Does anyone know where I can find the sicc class or doc class in customs? I donβt have the marked key but I do have a fare stash of keys I made from doing custom runs, and the keys are taking up a lot of space and I want to use them in raid.
rip
Welp time to grind xp
Sicc case is now only a jaeger lvl3 trade only, docs cases can be found in the marked rook, on the old gas table and something the giving tree I believe. Easiest way is the flea market
can anyone help me finish marking trucks in customs?
Just sell the keys that aren't useful/quest items and work through it tbh
yes
@uncut eagle
can anyone help me do the jaeger task on woods stashing the stuff
Looking for people to play with, And My lvl is 5

@upper vector @valid adder @low kernel
The sherpahub is deadicated to helpful members and the sherpa guides.
!sherpahub
Looking for people to play with, And My lvl is 5
Yes... you will find more of said ppl in the deadicated discord... or try lfg channels
anyone who'd be willing to help a new dude out with learning the map and stash runs etc. I'm level 5 watched loads of videos and still not comfortable with any of the maps outside customs, so if someone could show me the ropes even if its just for a few runs it would be greatly appreciated!
could someone please help me and my friend (im lvl 6, he's lvl3) on some reserve runs please?
@slender jewel That's your issue bud... youre playing the 2nd 'hardest' map, and you're not even level 10
unless this isnt your first wipe
but even still....
anyone wanna show me around how to farm raiders in resrve
@slender jewel Ill help u bro
Just got into it. I come from a variety of FPS games and I'm good at clicking on heads. Granted, EFT is a uniquely tough nut to crack and I don't want to lose out on stupid mistakes. I know to play with teammates. I want to hatchling and have high-efficiency survival to kickstart my grind. I learn quickly and will sponge whatever you tell me. I can bolster my case if we talk directly. Please reach out so we can connect better. I'm 27, EST, in case it matters. Cheers!
Looking for people to play with ^EU^, And My lvl is 5
Can someone explain to me why the hell there's only 3 beginners assistance channels lol
@sterile drift what server you on?
@oblique heron Should be USA, my game version is "EU" which is basically means "world" afaik
because people that assist are only volunteers
i'm saying why are there so few
they're usually full, looks like there needs to be more of them./
They are originally intended as a place for sherpa too meet players. @oblique heron
A deadicated discord was made with plenty of space for starters and guides.
anyone able to help me reach lvl 10? keep getting fucked by geared players
ahh

!wiki keys
Intel items comprise of maps, keys, key cards and other usable items that will help you get ahead of the competition - or at least know where the hell you are in Tarkov. Most of the keys can be used an unlimited number of times. Keys with a limited number of uses have their durability (number of uses remaining) listed in the bottom-right of their icon and on their inspection screen.
Can someone help me do the Jaeger quest in woods please, tried about 8 times but been killed
"Hating on the poor" well that is something I guess
@hexed maple yes, still haven't unlocked him
I can find the note but I never make it to the extracts
@slender jewel Get the note... then set a timer for 25 minutes, then go poop or make yourself some chicken tendies... then come back and extract.. lol
make sure to hide before you do all that... lol
Woods is not really a noob friendly map cause you dont really have scoeps at your disposal
Thank you, I will try that
Does anyone know why tarkov have no sound when disocrd call is on
Ive encountered the issue aswell... but i think it has to do with their most recent audio issues
but im probably wrong
Idk what to do
I tried all the settings
In tarkov and discord
But none seemed to work
yeah, wasnt working for me earlier either
π€·ββοΈ
in the graphics settings texture quality: high+texture streaming is this better than just high?
2080 ti
no... high is the best
^^ @fathom elk
thanks for that
@wet pivot thasnks
@wet pivot is there a good guide on settings for 2080 ti pc?
@fathom elk the way this game operates is not like most...
for some this game runs better on borderless (i.e. me and others)
yeah, i've been watching streaming and i can see that performance wins over looks
well that's the case with every game... lol
i mean
@fathom elk i have the base 2080 and i just set everything on max and disable vsync, and get above 100fps generally
@fathom elk also, at the bottoms of GRAPHICS... turn off all the check boxes at the bottom except HighQualityColor
turn HBAO off too
you cant get away with any lag on this game when you're 1 on 1 with someone
anybody want a kiss?
is it from your dad? cause if not, no.
i'll ask him brb
@fathom elk oh yea the three options on the bottom of graphics should be off, and set sharpness to about 0.7 for best visibility
not 2.2 then
just look up "pestily escape from tarkov graphics settings"
@wet pivot there are 5 options at the bottom, just fyi... HighQualityColor on, others off
and watch the youtube
got that
@drifting jolt idk, i dont see much difference with the grass shadows
@zealous swift incorrect... you can leave Texture Quality on high
If you're already exceeding 60-75 frames, then leave it high
yes
oh
sorry what's a good way of checking fps?
yeah then high
2080 Ti
@fathom elk dude... your machine will run the game fine, dont worry
open console and write fps 1
i run a 1060 and it runs just fine
@zealous swift thanks
np
yep
and fps 2 for extra info
` to open console?
yep
yup
i've been watching some streaming for a week and i've not noticed the hideout
is that something that's useful?
@fathom elk very...
can craft a bunch of things, and benefits to your PMC through skills and regeneration rates and such
@fathom elk basically upgrade in pace with the money you make... if you can afford the upgrades do it
if it bankrupts you to upgrade dont
i bought edge of darkness - it gave me a load of ruples and some dollars
yes...
and a lot of equipment
it provides youa shit ton more stash space as well
yes
@fathom elk even the EoD provided *gear is still shit... just fyi
i think i might go in naked and see the graphics first, i know i'll die
do an 'offline' raid first
wont be an accurate FPS gauge
but you can turn AI on/off
do you keep your gear?
and experience maps that way
in offline
offline raids take place, and afterwards it's as if they've never happened
take in 9000 rounds and fire them all
get em back
No reason to really loot offline, unless you're just trying to learn how to go through menus and loot more quickly
but there's no reason to actually loot
it's for experiencing maps, messing with your graphics ,and slaughtering AI for fun
@fathom elk oh oh, make sure you mess with Post FX... can squeek out a much better picture... through filters, sharpness, brightness, etc
@fathom elk keep hitting next till you play offline option, hit that
@fathom elk it's apparent..
Then you can toggle AI on or off depending on your purposes
^ amount and difficulty
yep ok
What building is drop down room in
@bold kernel could you be more specific?
i believe its black bishop, if youre talking about the room on reserve
Thanks
where is the FOV setting? i cant see it in graphics
it's ok i see it now
auto ram cleaner on?
16gb ram
@fathom elk not gonna lie.. youre overthinking this wayy too much... lol
yeah i know
based on all weve said before... and your machine, you'lll run it without issue
just tweak the visuals til youre happy with it
my anxiety levels are through the roof, i'm going to get my arse kicked π
oh for sure... your dick is going to get kicked in the dirt over and over and over... and then a little more, and then a whole bunch more... and then if you're lucky, you'll only get your arse kicked a few more times before you make progress
yep, i'm expecting it
Just learning how the gunplay works, it'll take a while
so i wont be dissapointed
guns in tarkov are not like other FPSs
the recoil is just weird
@fathom elk It just takes a while to feel like you 'get it'
You dont just pick any gun up and go terminator... they all seem to have some unique 'quirks' for lack of better terms
it took me 250-300 hours before I finally felt comfortably just going full auto in gun fights and being more aggressive in general
i just went in and my fps was too low at about 15
wtf....
what have you done?
Your card is a couple years newer than mine, and i have no problem exceeding 60 FPS @fathom elk
i followed an online guide for someone else that has a 2080ti
an online guide ot tarkov using a 2080? or just a general guide to 2080?
