what quests?
i can try and help you.
if anyone is new to the flea market or upcoming to the flea market and needing to know what to sell on the flea market or sell to traders instead. dm me
anyone tryna help beginners
looking for similar low level players to run with, wouldnt mind doing quests together
when is next wipe
new need help lol
can someone help me to find jaeger message please....... dm
no one knows, likely next year
can someone guide me to the crashed airplan to do jaeger message mission
hate myself
how much BT is that
Way too much 😆
Jesus man..
honestly, just go with a pistol and look at the map to figure it out
it's not hard, i realise that's not too helpful but it's not a hard mission at all
Hey everyone, I would like to inform all of you that I am not allowed within 20 meters of a child. Anyway, could anyone do a few reserve raids with me to teach me the loot paths?
i found it but i the extract was way too far
@distant flame dont know if you're still around, but go offline no skavs and find it that way
no worries
i'm only level 1
still trying to get to grips with customs before going pvp
@fathom elk do you mean you havent done an online raid yet or?
i went in with a 5 man team to fill out a quest for someone
but i'm learning the spawn points, exits, how to shoot at the moment
i work, so only get a bit of time in the evening
ah, well you need to start scavving and making money... lol
yeah, but i'm going in soon
bring up a map on your phone or second monitor... that's the best way to navigate
i'm now familure with the customs map and how to shoot
Just grind pmc, you really want to get to level 10 asap
i realise that thanks
i'm nearly ready
if i'd gone in dry it would have put me off as i'd not have a clue where i was going
or seen snipers on top of some of the buildings
Yuou just gotta do it... a bunch of offline runs are just about only good for finding extracts... but like.. you might as well find them in raid as a scav... cause at least youd be making money
don’t be afraid of dying.
^
i'm not
sniper scavs are not dangerous at all
Well if you only have a little bit of time, stop wasting it offline...
but i need a chance to live as well
as i say, i've only been playing for a few hours
i think it'll pay off when i go online, which i'll do this evening

what level are you roof?
pretty low
what level though?
25
how long have you been playing?

for current wipe
Doesn't count last wipe
lifetime 166 days.... Online 1449 hours
also it's the online time, not in raid
i average around 9 hours a day in tarkov lol
i havent got that sort of time available
I wish I have the patience for that
quick question. does the fence have tiers like any of the other dealers/
no
no
@cloud sphinx Nope...
He gives you the
quest tho
:sad face:
he only sells things people sell him
and he overcharges
dont buy shit from him unless you absolutely need it
actually his price is lower than flea for some of the loot type items
not most
yeah, i dont remember the last thing I bought from him
i usually just sell zeroed stuff to him
right now im lvl 6 so i dont like buying things unless i need to
Sometimes you see his stuff as cheapest on flea, but anything that other traders sell is going to have better price than what he would ask
Is preacekeeper worth investing in for the future
Very much so
good idea
whats peacekeeper?
the trader
dealer
@cloud sphinx yes... you'll have quests needing dollars
what do you mean investing in the peacekeeper?
face palm
Fence is good when you need a specific item for a quest that isn't found in raid edit: (before level 10)
you have to level dealers
right
thx mote
thanks
and morbyn
yup yup
@drifting jolt also i figured out why my FPS was so low on day 1
whys that
afterburner was set to Power Limit 40% so i was downclocking my card
set it to 124% and i'm up to 100 fps in interchange
interchange was probably the most frustrating map to learn so far. just because how detailed and maze-like it is.
inside the mall you mostly orient yourself with the 3 big stores
outside is pretty easy to get a hang on
What is a good pistol to use for pistol kill quest
any pistol + factory
i really want an automated gun how do i get one??
Any people that like to teach and play with someone new? From UK speak English.
If you are level 10 or higher you will have access to the flea market and can purchase any weapon you like, given you have enough money. Otherwise check with the vendors and see what's available there. I believe even at LL1, Prapor sells the AKS-74U for example.
ok
can someone with skier lv 2 help me get the AKS-74u PT lock for my gunsmithing part 2 task
hello i need help
Whats up?
It smells like up dog in here
Hello is anyone willing to teach reserve? I am a NA player irl also very old if that matters
You might want to post in #pvp-lfg. But if you have any questions about the map or game, feel free to ask 🙂

ty
Anyone got any suggestions for weapons/armour/ammo to use pre flea market?
@bold kernel Mosins or SKSs.. .they shoot the best ammo you can buy rigth now
Can someone help me with bunker pt 1? I've been trying for like 3 hours in total. I keep dying to scavs, scav boss, raiders and really geared players. If someone could help me it would be much appreciated. I already know how to do it.
SKS use 762 x 39 PS, and mosins are 762 x 54 LPS Gzh
alright, cheers. Is there any point in buying body armour or helmets? Or should I just run a sks?
@tulip escarp You dont need that quest for Kappa
@bold kernel dont buy em, just kill scavs and take their kits out and reuse them
ok thanks I hate that quest so much
@bold kernel At your level, helmets and armor you find off scavs is only going to protect you against scavs...
level 4 armor is about the bare minimum you can expect to protect you against players
Occassionally scavs wil have level 4 armor, but mostly level -3
@tulip escarp I dont have a list handy, but there's like 10-12 quests you dont need for kappa
alright, thanks for the info
also how long does it take for prapor to bring your stuff back from insured raids?
19-28 hours
then you have 3 days to claim it.
does return time decrease?
I think so with rep.... Not sure if it is still true
ah, currently I have a 24-36 hour return time. So I guess it does
@carmine gust I think 3 days to claim is therapist not prapor
Prapor only holds it for like 12 hours i think
73 hours
i shall double check right now
therapist is 6 days (144 hours)
I had the wiki open anyway to check the return rate change 🙂
😉
hey guys, im new to the game and im looking for someone to play with to learn from. Anyone down for a few games?
Odd question about that then. Hideout Management + lvl 3 intel reduces the return timer. So would that technically reduce the amount of time that someone would have to pick up stuff?
HMMM. That would suck.
lil bit
I should have some coming back let me look
no insurance waiting for pick up now so I can't see. I will have to remember to look next time.
I doubt it would reduce your pickup time
So I think it would just get back faster, but not do anything to the pickup time
It would move the receive time closer so that it gets thrown away earlier but the same amount of available time if it works right BUT this is Tarkov......
^ that is the same point that I got to lol
lvl 8, going for lvl 10, i think i might uninstall real soon, any help?
whys that?
@still vortex You can try the #beginners-chat and #pvp-lfg as well. #sherpa-info has the link to the Sherpa hub where you can also try scheduling someone to teach you. I am not playing now but GL. People in all those may tell you to try one of the others but all are ok places to ask. Just don't spam eh
why is simple, the game is very harsh to beginners with low gear.
I shoot 4 shots to a guy fully geared he turns around shoots one and im dead
Yes, yes it is... Well... stop shooting at fully geared guys...
You avoid all fights you cant win...
trust me i do.
This game will NOT hold your hand, and continually will demoralize you... but each raid you learn a bit more, you shoot a bit more... you learn and get better
guys i accidentally teamkilled my team mate and i said i will bring your gear out to you am i in the wrong
TKs happen CONSTANTLY dont worry about it
hence im here
he said he paying everyone to kill me everytime for a month
LOL
Now i have to play solo
that is amazing. Where do I pick up my payment?
@upper vector Dont know if youre trolling or not... but how will people know it's you?
What seems to be your biggest issue then?
Just dying to geared players?
same same
For real, they never stop. It happens, it is part of the game
he has a clip of me killing him but i said i will bring gear out to you his same gear
and he said no and got mad and said hes paying loads of people and getting me banned
@upper vector literally dont worry about it at all
Are HP rounds bad on 545 cal 🙃
I honestly prefer people to just stash my shit than bringing it out for me the next raid
I would suggest not using them
True. Stashing is much better.
he didnt want me to do that
I just want a fellow to feed me items required to complete the quest.
Cuz if you bring it out, it's not insured 
i offered to bring it all or dump it he said nothing and said hes paying people to kill me and stuff
@spice pecan Dang, let meta is not for this cal lol
you don't have to ping me you know
i reply to you
ok
@hallow arrow They are leg meta style rounds with only 11 pen.... Leg meta is not easy with an AK.
sorry
im dumb
i have to play solo now cuz everyone wants to kill me
Well no one is going to do that...
No. You really don't. The guy hasn't given us our LEDX yet so you are safe
People can help you do quests, or you can group up and complete quests together, but people arent just gonig to give you shit @gaunt cypress
Yeah was trying to do the scav quest on customs with it and armored people keep ripping me up, thanks tho appreciate you
he wanted me to pay him 2 tetriz

but i cant afford its alot of my roubles
Just block him and forget it eh. He was trying to scam you.
You can afford it tho
but don't buy it
so am I in the right channel for that or should i go lfg
Past asking to bring it out or stash it, that dude is way in the wrong
but he said hes gonna get me banned and then this guy said he can do more like burn my house and find out where i live and the guy said u do u but whatever u do if u do something good ill give you my account
use #pvp-lfg
why is the community like this
ok ty
BS you can try both. Some people will tell you to go one or the other but I have helped people out asking in beginner chat, beginner assist and LFG. I'm sure I am not alone in that.
i tried my best to get his gear bring it out or stash it he said no
That dude is a shitter, don't worry about him. Block'em and move on
team kills happen, they shouldn't get so mad about it, especially when you offer to replace the gear
i said i will bring everything out
If you have a recording of them threatening to DOX you or shit like that send it to the mods. Otherwise just block and forget it.
and he wanted me to buy him tetriz and stuff i said no
We all get that part.
Yeah, just ignore and move on
it was his com he said he was in lockers so i went in showers and he said the guy has looted his stuff so i seen a chad chilling there and i killed him
The threats of real world harm mean you should at least send any recording to the mods. After that forget it and move on.
i said sorry but he was really mad
i dont know how to record voice
otherwise i would
Then just move on.
^^^
my phone cant hear them
for yours, and our sakes
👍
lolz mote.
true
lol
do you need living high is not a crime part 2 for kappa, since you dont need 1 ???
How the fuck does dorm v exit work
We waited 3 minutes unable to heal
And nothing happend
You mean the exit where you use the vehicle?
Everyone pays money and after about a minute the vehicle drives off so you must be next to the vehicle before it leaves or you'll be left behind. Also each member needs to pay
but there is a glitch where if you drop money to a friend it will glitch and they cant extract
Each one of us had 2 countdowns 60seconds each
so bring ur own
Yeah
@bold kernel Nothing you can do about that
i lost 2,000,000 roubles on a run to that shit
Sometimes a bug just happens and you're unlucky, you get used to it
hey i got that kiba key , should i sell it ,or is the room profitable ?
Its very profitable
but its a very popular spot on interchange
if you dont play the map often sell
Any people that like to teach and play with someone new? Speaks English.
Rb-ksm value?
do you normally put keys in secure boxes on your loadout? I'm assuming you lose them otherwise
btw, is there some changes on car battery spawns on interchange? i have ran in spots like around 10 times didn't find any.
so i completed the first prapor quest and hit complete, but didn't get the pistol and ammo? i have space..
i figured it out
you have to go to messenger
what is "sherpa"?
anyone wanna play? just downloaded the game yesterday
how does one stay blessed?
by checking every corner
And not being overly cautious :)
you need to
When the fuck are they going to add cancelation of SKS/Shotgun reloading.
switch to melee and back I think works. but yeah slow and not good enough
Sry for all the screens I really need help
This is my full stash
I have NO space at all
Sell it all
Koreans there's stuff inside all those bags like I stacked them up until I finished up not having bags and having no space
Empty bags, and stack them into each other
I did that
I've got 2 bags
1 stacks scav backpacks
while the other stacks all the other backpacks
knives are junk, sell them
@royal gull left click cancels long animations
discard them if you feel based
@slender vapor Not shotgun or sks reloading animations. It cancels CMS/Healing.
what about the ones for the mp5
not worth the space imo
Yeah it does, it cancels shotgun reloading
One big issue new players have in this game is inventory management. Legit, sell it all
kolpak is junk, it actually hinders you
IE if you’re empty on an 8+1 it’ll load a couple then stop if you immediately left click
^
sell 
ok
Personally I’d sell the meds
Sell all the mags you don't have guns for
noo I run the m4 my friend gave it to me
I'm waiting for the perfect moment
to lose it :(
keep the morphine tho
every single bullet I have sucks
Then sell the M4
It's like the worst type
aw
oh in the m4 tho I've got the best bullets you can get I think
M995?
that's the gun my friend got for me
Either use it, or sell it.
I will use it next run
Only 36 rounds anyway
^
You don't really have enough ammo for it, might as well just sell it to buy AK or SKS so you can lose them
PS is a lot more affordable
Better than a M4 taking up the stash with only 36 rounds
uh
if you have time would you care joining a channel with me I'll go live and u help me sell my stuff
I can't talk rn tho
lets just grab 2 man #8
you're on deafen
oh lol
there
did I what?
holy fk I already have to go
I'm sorry...
damn
sry :(
kk will do
bb
Yea, 1 weapon too expensive for your experience/confidence is not nearly as useful as the 3 you can buy and use
@bold kernel practice customs on no pve, work out spawn points and escape points
then do pve to learn to shoot
work out some hidden stashes
then go do pvp again
quests aswell
customs is good for beginners
i bout 50 mags on accident
happens to the best of us
what do i do?
sell em back
ok
@bold kernel stop playing factory only... it's not a great representation of gameplay overall
oh ok
it's either for 5 man groups farming scav kits/exp... or strictly to have PvP
you go in there knowing youre going to fight... every other map you can avoid fights, not on factory
If you're low level, then scaving on factory isnt terrible, bc you can farm scavs and take out 2 or 3 kits for your next PMC raids... but as a PMC you're going to get into PMC PvP 90% of the time @bold kernel
ok sure
It's mostly shit geared players... but the geared players go in armed to the teeth
bc they know they're going to PvP
oh k
Hi guys, could one of you do me a favour and put a 34mm one piece magmount made by I-E-A Mil Optics on the flea market? Its for Gunsmith part 5 but missing loyalty levels and if I've seen correctly I got to wait all the way to level 40? Let me know the price beforehand cuz I'm not that rich lol.
Someone did put it on the flea market, bought it in a rush couldnt see the name. If you are here: thank you very much!
where can I find the Remington Tactical Choke 12ga I need it for one of my quests
Skier @ LL2
so guess what
I've done a run with that m4 I had to get rid of at customs
turns out it had the good rounds in it
the M88something
and boy
5 kills and plenty of loot
Good ammo is good shit. Good job.
is there anywhere else I can get it I am no where near skier level 2 or do I have to just wait?
thx ^-^
The postman pat mission is really something else does anyone have any tips? I keep running into fully kits chads
Jump in a factory VC and ask if they mind you tagging along for the quest. Rolling a 5 man it is easy to get your factory tasks done except the pmc kills ones obviously lol
no
i literally did lol, i was level 3 and leveled up to level 4
you probably investigated some items in fence
you get literally nothing from offline
@alpine tiger
oh okay
anyone up for a scav run in 9 minutes? trying to work on my customs map skills and communication
in the after raid screen it will show the xp bar going up. but when you go back to Character screen it will all be rolled back.
Anyone wanna group up? Looking to do some customs runs
any1 need an extra hand? new level 3
if anyone needs some help lemme know
@empty treeI would need help
@empty tree I am in customs 9
join vc 3 man 23 @pliant monolith
are woods down
Anyone wanna group up and do some customs runs
is anyone having problem with mechanic scout quest? im at factory exit 1 but the quest is still not marking itself completed
@shrewd flame SOME quests will not show completion until u have exited the raid apon completion
Yeah freaking right devil
brand new to the game can someone help plz
can anyone run customs with me
I need help getting started, i know general stuff but am finding it quite hard.
if anyone needs stash clearout help, let me know
if anyone needs help and their under level 10. dm me.
Yes you can gain XP but you cannot keep gear or items that you find..
Xp gained in offline wont transfer to your pmc, the second you extract its as if you never went in 😄
yeah exactly
want to run some raids? I have not played for like 2-3 weeks @buoyant mason
I can do maybe over the weekend, Cyberpunk launches in 20 minutes and i aint missing that 😄
Sounds good, I was thinking of getting it
before it loads up you can drag it over to your other monitor before you click on play
I think there is something in the settings on which monitor you want it on
that and if it happens you can press alt+enter to make the game windowed, drag it to your other monitor then alt+enter again to make it fullscreen
why are non player scavs attacking me when I haven't fired a round as a scav?
maybe you ran into a raider?
is there any importance to a tetriz other thna the bit coin like any found in raid for a quest?
@urban kite Bitcoin is 250k, think that's enough reason than any :p
fair eough i found two in texcho
out of curiosity how much is the bitcoin and bp coin bater trade from mechanic
even if you put it up your ass you can still sell it for 250k even if you die so
But it's only 1 a day
the m4
i see
It's like 275k for a gun you can build for about 200, maybe less
So i dont like beating dead horses or nothing. But i have legitimate questions about "wipes." I ask because i am new. Just started playing about a week ago and not sure how they work.
-What are they?
-how they work?
-how often do they occur?
-what to expect before/after
-are they only for the prerelease?
If there is a link to an article i would to see it
Sry for annoyance but everyone talks about it and i dont know anything about it other than the obvious.
Thank you in advance.
@cloud sphinx Essentialy server wipes. All levels, skills, items, are gone, you start with only what you start with your edition, essentially everyone gets a fresh account.
2. See above
3. 6-8 months typically
4. The week before expect to see a lotta god mits, after expect low tier combat
5. I believe in real as they will have a server that wipes and a permanent one
Any other questions?
One more. ...Wouldnt that be a major turn-off, having to restart every year?
need 3 people to help with last punisher mission (let me kill you on factory) will reward you
in factory lfg#3
@cloud sphinx It's good considering it gives everyone an equal chance, especially newer players in a late wipe becoming ready for the next
Fair enough. I ask because i havent been grinding for the last 6 months and about to lose my everything. kwim?
Thank you guys n gals. 
the game would get oppressive and boring as it stands, if it never reset you'd only ever see max level gameplay eventually
need 3 people to help with last punisher mission (let me kill you on factory) will reward you
in factory lfg#3
how does ccp temporary work on shoreline?
@cloud sphinx no. Once you get to endgame it’s pretty boring, the same fights in the same places with the same guns
Just killed a guy on top of this building in customs but can't find any way to get on top where his body is to loot it. Can any one help? this is a building near where you find the horse statue. HALP 🙏
@silver zenith That's a sniper scav, can rarely get to the body unless he actually falls off when shot
can i get some help the channel is full
just hope he slides off
drops
if anyone is under 10 and needs help. for instance making money/flea market. dm me
hey, can anyone take my labs virginit?
hey, ive played 2 raids, and have almost no clue what im doing. Some help would be nice
hey man i can help ya
give ma discord call
is warmage good?
it has zero pen
so not so much for being so late into the wipe got it
oh i see now so i killed a guy who has m855 mixed with warmage
was a noob
i was tripping out because i was unpacking his ammo and it was one at a time and then saw its mixed 15 warmage and 15 m855 is mixing ammo a common thing?
mixing is common i do it alot
Hey guys! Level 4 here, new to the game 🙂 anyone down to show me around a few maps, teach me the callsigns for the buildings and such?
it's not unheard of, but that's a super bad combination
i am level 10.... not sure which weapon i should buy.
does throwing a grenade give 1 point or .1 point to strength?
how much money you got?
1.2m
then i will recommend to try default RPK
slap a scope on it
and you are ready to destroy
problem with RPK is the 5.45 caliber doesnt have much pen and this late in the wipe you have to run BT tracers or BS which is expensive
man, atleast it is not a fking 855/856
how is ak105
@distant flame buy this scope ^
AK platform is not dissimilar to the M4/HK platform in that they are very versatile but with the use of heavy modification so it gets pricey fast without high level traders
ok i bought RPK-16
which mag and bullets i buy?
and then you are ready
5.45
just a standart 30 round mag or if you want, you can use 60 rounder
i will do the 60 round
you can also buy 95 rounder but be prepared for debuffs
M855A1 bullets ?
^only this caliber
If you pack mags in-raid a lot I'd do 30 rounders
which type
BP/BT and incase of a lot of money - 7N39 and BS
55A1 is 5.56 not 5.45
ok
BS is my personal favorite
i love igolnicks for easy access (killing killa)
but BS will be better in terms of damage
also you can buy those from prapor
Maybe I should bring a few AKs and drop killa myself. Need it for the stylish one
nah, dont do it
unless you going full auto with rpk, it is useless to bring 5.45 gun to kill killa
what about grip?
rk-1
rk-4 if on budget
you can also slap PWS muzzle device on rpk too

bruh, why 300k
or did you just built my meta rpk
i bought what you told me
m1 armor rig
you can forget about helmets until you will unlock Peackeeper LVL4
they are mostly useless
as for backpack you can use scav bp
as cheap and good backpack
the m1 armor rig is armor and rig at the same time hey

yep, dont forget to bring salewa + hemostatic or grizzly FAIK
i only use salewa, cms, painkiller and splint
that should work too
even meds
yep
even meds/nades/keycard uses/anything
if you will get killed by scavs/boss offline you will not loose anything
and your char will be at same HP as at the start
if you're only lvl 10, building loadouts like this is a good way to throw your money in the furnace 😄 even though it's not bad
focusing on the basics is important right now for you imo 🙂 less so going big
see you on the field
@distant flame buy a face mask or something
this guy has 1mil, doesn't know about bullets, and someone told him to buy a 300k ak. da fuk am i watching
@distant flame You just wasted 300k on a gun that you'll lose very fast if you're new to the game. If someone tells you to build a meta weapon when you're new to the game or even suggests it, don't do it lol D:
And no helmet lol
i mostly dont get how rpk can cost 300k
on flea it is 60 k rn
BT ammo cheap too
26k for pws
13 k for rk-4 foregrip
like
h o w
helmets useless unless they got Fshield
man if only helmets in this game were as garbage at stopping rifle rounds as they are IRL
@silver hornet tsssss, we dont talk about that here
reee
what mount can you put in your secure container that holds a thermal
use an mlok and that will allow you to put them in the secure
Need 3 people to help me cheese a really hard quest ill give you each a bitcoin should only take 1 run.
DM me
Anyone want to run some scavs only a lvl 4 could use the help 👌
i need help running to
practice doesnt give me enough combat experience
it only helped me learn the way around the map
I don’t even know the way around the map lol
I semi know reserve so far
Bout to run some reserve
Have you looked at any online maps?
i think i have problem seeing people
like they looking at me and i cant see them xd
any oce players here?
Am I misunderstanding something about the flea market, or why are Emelya rye croutons not able to be sold for more than like 35k before the fee is greater than the selling price?
I paid like 50k for those things when I was doing that quest, why would people be selling at a negative, or am I missing something?
Prices go up and down a lot
Especially on quest dependent items.
If there isnt many on the market the price can get really price. Gunsmith parts are a great example of this as well.
hey, anyone know anything about gpus irl, canu pm me real quick pls? would be much appreciated
do you gain experience from offline mode?
Anything gained in offline mode doesn’t count and you get anything you used back
How do hitboxes work in this game? I shoot a scav that's not moving in the back of the head/helm (which looks like lvl 3), the bot gets triggered, turns around and taps me gone. My second shot I try to shoot under the helmet (maybe its lvl 5 helmet or whatever) this happends https://streamable.com/efz8a1
Could’ve been a guard with more head hp although it also looks like the last part of dragging down ended up possibly making the bullet hit the arm or the ground beside the guard
is the only place to do samples in lab
Right but why does it cost more than I will get in return to sell it at a certain value? Should it not always be like roughly 10% of the total value? Just seemed weird that I was trying to sell an item for 50k, and it was trying to charge me 62k to post it
and is that really the first peacekeeper task ?
Samples is a new task it’s not the first peacekeeper one
I don’t believe samples is needed for kappa since it was added with sanitar to get peacekeeper quests you need to do friend from the west
Also labs is the best spot to do samples but only if you have access to rooms that spawn stims
i must not have done something else then because its the only one i have for him and im lvl 2
with him
Yeah you unlocked it doing health care privacy part one
And doing anestesia for prapor
i did that for prapor
Yeah that’s why you have samples
To unlock the important peacekeeper quests you need to do skier quests friend in the west
look like im on prt 2 of health care
yeah i dont think i unlocked it
i just want to unlock easier peacekeeper ones so i can gain loyalty
i need to get him up for solar
Ah that's more to prevent RMT. If you overprice an item a certain amount the market fee will be really high. That's how they prevent someone listing a battery for 100 mil and transferring money.
Since therapist sells emilia for 13k they have a set price. Deviating from that is going to result in a pretty high market fee.
Ah that makes sense I guess. Kind of unfortunate that it isn't more clearly mentioned as I see a ton of those on the market for ~50k. People must just be losing money and not noticing.
Thanks for the clarificiation.
got my first thicc items case 😄
im here to help anyone that needs help. (money runs, quest, pvp, pve)
Should I get 5.45x39 T or 5.45x39 PRS??
Or should I find as much "good canned beef" to get the BP
I meant BT not BP sorry
yeah the canned for BP
BT*
Ok another question, AK-105 or AK-74
74
It's an AKS-74. Does it change anything or still 74?
Pretty sure the aks74n?
I wanted to say the AKS is more customizable but I dont even remember anymore, use both :D theyre same ammo
Ok, but if I don't have an option for BT rn. Do I use T or PRS? (Getting canned food for BT rounds)
I honestly wouldn't even bother using them if you only have T and PRS
Those ammos are so bad :/
I think even PS is better on that ammo, idk, I just used whatever until I had a little stack of BT from other players or Reserve
What gun is that for?
this game is mad frustrating at times
I think i've died like 8 times in a row. Just can't seem to catch a break
im being evasive as hell and I just keep getting hunted down
not sure how
level 9
eu or na
na
People are much more PVP agro at this stage of wipe but even so that is awful luck
You are putting yourself in really shitty situations without realizing it. It's part of learning tarkov.
you can try going slower and more carefull
any one wanna play customs? EU
i just got killed on an impossible way 😄
what way
well i actually have no idea
i clipped it like mby i could see the guy who shot me
but cant see anything
desync
I had the same thing when starting. By trying to be sneaky you're probably just lingering in high risk areas without realising
One thing you can do to improve your chance at survival is run a little way away from spawn and go prone in a bush or something for the first 5-10 mins.
Its kind of boring but it means all the other players who probably know the other spawn locations and roughly where the other players will be based on the time in raid, won't guess where you are. Once you leave your hidey hole the other players will be further ahead of you and you're less likely to run into them
Seconded. This is a viable if boring strategy.
Am I allowed to join the Beginners Assistant voicechat without any permission?
I am new to the game
Think so. Just have to wait for an empty slot.
Right, okay. Thanks
cheers. You looking for help with something in particular?
What's the %chance of this happening to full durability t5 killa armour
@bold kernel pretty good chance
I asked for the % chance
90%
No that's simply not true
so, i got the point of extraction. i got to the right place, but nothing ever happened is there a button i need to press?
Don't bother replying if you're not gonna answer my question
lol blunt damage does damage to whole body there bud
i was on customs, i forget what its called but it was by storage
I'm fully aware. Thank you
there is a high chance especially with bp
I'm asking for the exact percentage of BP 2 tapping full durability killa armour. If you can't answer then don't reply
bp is also kinda broken rn so yes if he 2 tapped u in the chest and it did blunt damage then u die
Please stop typing you clearly don't know the answer
if u already had the % pulled up y ask
I know the stats of the bullets. I don't know how to calculate the exact % of it happening or I wouldn't ask
The battle buddy app is the only thing I can think of that should give you that answer. I don't have it so I can't tell you but that is at least somewhere to start.
i really hate ppl like you that clearly dont belong here in beginner assistance and start on some bull shit
It's not bullshit. I asked a question. No one forced you to reply
Thank you!
whats wrong with 25% surv rate? I'm at like 21% LUL
There's room for improvement is all I'm saying :)!
yes but if i tell u the answer on how it happens in game based of exp and u say im wrong obviously it is bull shit
You can't just make up statistics based on your "experience". That's simply not how that works
Thank you very much!
But second shot will have a higher chance since the armour will be damaged
lol its not made up the game is in beta lol nothing is going to be exactly right in the game
it also depends on ur skill lvls
alright so I got a question. I just made it out, alive, finally! got a big purple ass backpack out of it. pretty neat. anyway I was sniping the gas station area and I got two scavs. I'm not sure if it was the boss
if you have low lvls then u are more likely to die to some bullshit
but then the other scavs started to hunt me down. is that a mechanic? or other players
There was a 40% difference between your answer and the actual truth @willow shadow I think it's fair to say you made that up
Eh yeah but mainly just the raw numbers. Although yeah you might be more likely to die from bleeding or running a blacked leg etc
The boss has a golden pistol on him if you looted all of them. I'm not sure why they would've been hunting you down
ya ok bud i bet u will die almost 90% of the time with the same gear and to the same bullets if u have low skills
Yeah it's all the same with damage and pen chance
@shell cedar Depends on how far they chased you. You will activate them and the other scavs around will try to push you. Boss scavs are worse than normals. And as for players that depends on them.
I didn't loot anyone. I was behind the gas station on the rocks. Shot two scavs. Then a scav ran up to where I was, talking russian, then ran back down once he couldn't find me
sounds like a boss.
the loot will also tell u if it was scav boss
if one of them u killed had bigger pockets then normal scavs then it was scav boss
And numbers. If there are more than like 3 there it is normally boss
the guards wear better gear than normal scavs as well and scav boss wears no gear but an ak
and a gold tt
much less accurate though from the numbers because they can have a lot of normal scavs occasionally.
yea
Just seemed odd that some random scav ran up to where I was at. Ran down, then to the military collection point instead of the gas station
I decided to not loot anyone and just get the fuck out
Skills dont make you extra tanky so idk what you're talking about
they can draw in more npc scavs to help but they still act like normal scavs
yes they do
they can make it to were u dont die to bleeds and blacked limbs as easy
That may have been a scav pushing the fight from checkpoint then losing agro and going back maybe. Still often better to be safe and get out with what you have
dude you obliviously have no exp in the game and have no clue what ur talking about so go do research and come back after @bold kernel
thanks yall. take it easy. be easy on each other too.
@shell cedar Cheers buddy. Good luck
I have over 2k hours but sure x
@shell cedar good luck man
What do I do with 24m
Buy good guns xp
I just sold a thicc items case
@bold kernel then y u in here asking for advice? lol if u REALLY had over 2k hours u wouldnt be asking questions u would be answering them
Because I don't know how to calculate that percentage?
Run big chad gear haha, maybe learn to play labs or run reserve or idk do something you like
Maybe sniping
lol thats simple and u already should have known how to do that everyone gets the app and other things to help them learn almost day 1 of the game @bold kernel
If it's simple then why did you fail
Not true this is my first wipe and my friend showed me the app
I don't have the app so
I can assure you I'm not :)
Over 1k pmc kills this wipe but oki
im done talking to ur ass dude
Pretty sure this guy is trolling lol
ya he is
Hahaha ok
How am I trolling?
I didn't mean you haha
There;s no shame in not knowing things. We learn!
@bold kernel dont you have a elementary online class to get to? ur moms gonna get mad at you for playing games during school hours
Hello, I saw a lot about bullets and stuff, is there anything in game about how much armor penetration a bullet does?
No it is all out of the game.
not in game but there are bullet charts
okay, thanks
You will find many ammunition types within the chaos of Tarkov. Varying opponents will require different types of ammunition to tackle.
This page lists all ammunition types in Escape from Tarkov. Click the name of a caliber to see the full list of available cartridges.
To learn more about the effectiveness of ammunition check the Ballistics page.
Stop making things personal and just admit you were wrong x
I see
but im not wrong u should really take a look at the skills more bud
but im not wrong u should really take a look at the skills more bud
Which skill?
You are very wrong unfortunately
vitality, and stress resistance
so is 7n61 and m61 good ammo?
i know thjeirs a chart but this is on the fly and im bush camping til i lookt it up lol
got like 300+ rounds on interchange stash run
Both are great rounds
was told i needed certain rounds for my hunter or sks if i want to 2 or 3 shot killa, still new and trying to get some kits together to farm scav bosses lol
killed him once then got killed immediately as soon as i leaned down to loot him, mall is too big a hotspot for me
That M61 is fire for the hunter. Might even be too good to use in that gun lol. It is the best. Like 2200+ per round I think.
and can someone help me clear out my stash? i sincerely dont know what to keep or sell, sorry for the stupid questions but im level 6 and dont fuly understand what to keep or toss, already had people lie and cost me a bunch of money
told me to vendor a red labs card from twitch rivals only to be told i couldve sold it to another player for 20 million, just tired of being bullshitted
Well you can't put drops on the flea..... They aren't found in raid.
but still dick move
it wasnt FIR but after i sold it multiple people said i couldve brought into raid and theyd have bought it
for like 10-20
That is against TOS and they can't even carry that much in.
stash is nasty full and players cant do that? didnt know that tbh
see im broke lol
Could legit get your acount banned dropping someone that card. They filter and think it is Real Money Trading and boom.
when a wipe happens you dont keep your original stash when you bought the game?
so you cant use stuff from twitch rivals for in game cash? o.o
It looks just like the first time you logged in after wipe.
You can only sell it to traders or use it hands
well that sucks
I mean you still got something for it and it was a free drop. Maybe didn't get as much as you could have but you also avoided a ban and losing the game entirely.
true, its just most of the twitch rivals shit was useless other then a weapons and ammo case
yup
got like 6 white labs card and 1 red
I mean if you run labs that would be a huge up
i was told to avoid it entirely where this is my first wipe
Yeah it is a sweaty damn place
If anyone wants to help me with knowing what items are junk and what items are good that would be appreciated, if so dm me please
yeah thats my issue i only know interchange and customs, continually get clapped on shoreline and reserves
Play the maps
cant do factory because i never have a 5 man, just doing what i can cause i play solo
dude was watching my stream the other day in here during runs and i picked up a ledx, and he was like man thats useless drop it, dropped it he ran over and picked it up then shot me in the head and ran straight to extract lol, so by experience i play solo, most people just want to screw you over it seems
Get friends to play
no i got tkd so much my first week(hadnt joined the dc yet) i had to account reset thinking not everyons bad
Playing in groups without discord? 
Sounds horrid.
normal
monkaS
head/eyes ,head/nape over and over and over to where it was like fck this ill play by myself lol
all under 5 seconds lol
I’ve never ran into to this lol
nah teaming with randos,c ause the hunderds of hours worth of videos i wacthed before buying didnt cover that everyone on here outside discord will tk you and take your shit even if its just a pistol lol
like random from escape from tarkov that randomly invite you or people from discord
ive had discord people watch my stream and wait til i get something good and kill me as well lol
nah nah drop that head/eyes
bruh you are playing with the wrong people then lol
theyre from this dc though lol
only because they are from this dc doesnt mean that they are nice
thats why i play solo now lol
or find someone nicer to play
more fun when i can actually explore without getting shot in the bacdk lol
i played with someone it was very epic he even gave me an bitcoin
in 1 month 2 people actually helped me, and didnt want to troll or run me into high traffic pvp areas
There are a lot of really nice people on this discord, but some aren’t. You just gotta be careful, you’ll probably have a bad experience, I’ve had one
But 9/10 times, the people are really nice, and usually pretty helpful
i agree
Been using this discord for a long time no issues
I remember my first time using a beginner channel, I had no clue how to extract, and asked for help and they just kinda made fun of me called me names etc. That’s the only bad experience I’ve had, and I’ve used LFG quite a few times
Well If you guys do need help im pretty experienced 👀
i mean the first people to help me on here were pmcs when i was doing a scav run cause im assuming they knew i was clueless as i was running around the outskirts trying to figure out how to extract lol
started wiggling i wiggled back and they crouch spammed so i started following them lol
I remember my first run I spent 15 mins trying to extract tunnel when I didn’t have it 
Now that’s rare
i was trying tro extract old gas not understanding it was for pmcs not scavs, "but thers green smopke id say lol"
scavs working with pmcs is? its been my only experience with that so far
Also, if you’re trying to play with people, I tend to use the text chat to find someone chill instead of just joining random VCs, I’ve found the people there more enjoyable to play with
Yeah. It's pretty hard finding someone through LFG. Even though they say "Chill" it's not really chill. Well sometimes. Haven't tried lately since busy.
^^
most people even if i tell them im new theyre like bro do your callouts "im near the blue building with the train outside" theyre like brooooo you dont know callouts lol
Yeah, some people are jerks like that
ty dragon
np
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately playing with beginners, I find it more enjoyable, and like to know that I’m helping someone
Sounds a lot better than playing with someone who actually knows how to play since beginners are more accepting of loss considering they know that they need to get better.
i literally dont have the game i wish but my pc cant handle it i just know alot about the game because i watch vids
so if someone gives me something for free thats allowed correct? and idc if i die 100 times i just want to learn the maps
Gear is fine but like absurd amounts of loot isn't unless it's in-raid.
ah even if you dont intend to resell it and just use it?
like item trades etc
horsse figurines,teapots, recbatt, etc
I'm not sure. I'm just thinking from a company perspective. I wouldn't be too sure about something like that. People don't tend to bring that kind of thing in.
ye
It’s mostly really high level items, and huge amounts of items that get flagged for RMT
lol now im worried about accepting free shit
Just take gear if people decide to bring it in.
Anyone know the best way to level skills?
i meant stuff like recbatts wont get me in trouble will they? idk there worth
that's like 13k so probably not
Yeah, probably not
sweet
Also, what kind of skills are you thinking of? @bold kernel
But if you’re dropping recbatts every raid, and a lot of them, that’s when you might get on the radar
Mostly strength and recoil control, been asking everywhere and I figured the one place they wouldn't be a pepega is here
ah didnt realize that was looked down upon, he was like "you like adars" im like yeah bro, next raid he drops a scav backpack full of recbatt
Recoil control is just shooting your gun. So, take a crappy gun. Blast it in a corner then go on about the raid since your exp drops off.
As for strength most people buy like a bunch of cheap shotgun ammo then stuff it in a backpack.
Another way that is safer rather than buying shotgun bullets all the time is documents cases with sas drives.
Very costly though
Requires 3 documents cases filled with them if you want to just want to run naked
2 if you have some extra gear to weigh you down like armor and a gun.
i was about to quit tarkov while my generators enabled
tbh i been finding quite a few of them little square blue fuel cases during my stash runs\
and is there any way for me to tell when ive killed an actual player scav? or you just guess by what theyve picked up?
They might've patched it out but you should be able to see if they have a "pouch" slot to see if they're a player scav.
I haven't encountered a player scav lately so I wouldn't know if they changed anything.
@slim maple Well, I'm not exactly new, just wanted to know maybe the best gun to do this with and the like
and then strength is strength I guess lol
@slim maple yeah none of them had pouches so it probably waqsnt players im guessing
its just one of them was acting sus and hiding in the bushes and he caught 3 rounds to the thorax lol
and another thing ive noticed is player scavs running around the maps killing all the other scavs
i try not to shoot scavs
The pouce on players got patched out
like it hasnt been happening quite as often, but last wek it seemed like i was loading into completely empty matches, no scavs, no pmcs, no gunshots, nothing
maybe just empty server
is that normal?^ guess i take advantage and loot up when that happens and hit high traffic areas lol?
idk never happend to me
