Looking for a player or players to help me learn the ropes of the game. 👀
LF2-3 any map besides labs, im lvl 17
Im lvl 8 anyone wanna do some tasks n help me level
Im lvl 45 looking for a sherpa to help me learn this game
at lvl 45?
im lvl 5 and fairly new to pc. i kinda need help learning the ropes
Lvl 6 trying to get pocket watch
Pretty new to this game lvl 9, looking for a a patient bloke that won't mind showing me the ropes, main thing is spawns and pace of maps - always getting caught out as not sure when to expect people and where.
I'm in the UK for ping purposes.
you're up early
Easy when you haven't been to sleep😂😂
same, woke up at like 9pm so I'm resetting a bit currently
Yeah sleep schedule is knackered atm mate
can any one halp me at custom
Same I need to get pocket watch
yall wanna run a trio ? @bold kernel @ionic matrix
Sure
3man #14 @bold kernel @ionic matrix
can any one help me shorline?
how many wipes have their been?
Anyone able to help with rushing some scav spawns on Customs for quest? Ive had the worst luck there today lol. Thanks brothers!
@scenic valve um is this a Rhetorical question? game has been out since 2016, i am assuming 2 wipes per year, so maybe 8 is my guess?
What goes to vendors, what goes to flea?
Thinking GPU, cables, augmentin flea?
yeah, that teapot is around the same i think
to traders and flea
check hust in case tho
it trades for some good items is why it is so expensive
aight but does anyone wanna help with some shoreline runs
i need help
dont even have to go on the run, can just watch my stream
@proven sparrow if you want to PM me and add me, I will be more than happy to help you with Shoreline, I sherpa six days, but tomorrow is my off day, I would be able to help Monday night if you would like
sure man, thanks
Ah, probably the FLIR/REAP-IR trades. All I remembered it bartering for was ASH-12s and, well, it's not a 180k gun. lol
the fact that you still take scavving seriously is mind boggling 😅
@tacit olive still looking for someone?
can someone tell me what Interchange keys im missing?
@brisk jolt yea i am
looking to run interchange with someone, i have most the keys minus kiba, level 13

looking to run interchange and make some money with a homie got a lot of the keys minus kibba

Is it on a hard drive or ssd, and maybe try lowering graphic settings
Looking for questing help lvl 8, 18+ (find jeagers camp, extortionist, delivery from the past)
What server are you
Im on west coast but play on dc
I am eu sorry
Ah all good
can someone help me get pocket watch
sure c0ke
If you don’t have they keycards, they’re not a bad investment
need help getting the case in office on customs
might know how to play a bit. Bored. Hit me up.
what constitutes a beginner?
Does anyone have tips on what I should bring on a PMC raid, i just started playing and don't have much, level 3. Should I be going in with pistol only to start to try to find stuff
the sks from prapor isnt a bad option, ps isnt the greatest ammo but itll get the job done
@fallow zephyr
don't take pistol only or you'll be marked and cursed by NPC's I think, take a sling + bank robber rig at least alongside it... SKS is more firepower and range, I like it
PACA armor + green helmet will protect you from scavs better
can someone help me with healthcare privacy pt 2 quest
@fallow zephyr A pistol; mag and armor makes sure you are not tagged and cursed
okay, so i will need armor also, Yeah i just dont like taking a lot because im still new so i dont want to lose the little i do have
It was one equipment like rig or backpack, one gun and one spare mag I think.
Yea
I think you need both though, rig and backpack. But maybe they changed it. I feel like rig and pistol used to be enough, but I don't think it is anymore. Though I can't really remember.
also use scav whenever it's on cooldown
see the problem is i got cucked my very first game by my own team, so like everything i started with is gone lol
I think that's a good mentality for the start. I wouldn't be taking armor. PACA doesn't really do anything except stop shotgun pellets and some very low-level bullets/slugs. But you'll be likely more dying to geared players than anything else and it costs 23k on ragman I believe, which is not really worth
other scavs won't shoot you (unless player with itchy trigger finger)
when i SCAV i get ran up on so much lol
A lot of player scavs kill other scavs. I mean, if you see a player scav as a scav, you want to shoot him. Don't want him to sneak up on you when you looting something.
yeah of course, I do the same
I cant tell the difference between scavs and player scavs yet lol
dude just said he lost a lot of starting gear / seemed strapped for rubles, so was suggestion... good way to learn game mechanics + make it out with some scraps
Yea, they made it harder to find the difference between them, but you can still recognize them if you've played long enough
can move rigs and bags to PMC if you make it out
Anyone wanna help me, I am in Beginners Assistance 1
are any more experienced players able to look at what i have and tell me what i need to look for and where my focus should be
Join the sherpa hub, try to seek out a sherpa or ask in looking for group for people to help out (you can find invite to sherpa hub in the "discord suggestions" channel or just join Sherpa waiting room and see if someone comes to pick you up)
can someone EU help me on going to the room 218 west in shoreline???
Can someone help me with my streamer item list?
any sherpas online?
annyone wanne help me need to get in dorms water for therapist quest.(EU)(lvl12)
go to the sherpahub in #sherpa-info for sherpas
because you need to git gud?
you make it sound 1000 time easier than it is
I don't know what you expect for an answer when you ask why you die most of the time
You die because you don't know the flow of the maps re where people spawn and will be moving at any given time.
Yea, we really don't have much to go off from the comment. I reckon that Ninja is onto the right thing though.
Yo, one advice. Just keep dying. That's how you get good
Might sound stupid, but I mean, that's what tarkov is all about 😄 Dying. You get good by repeating the process over and over. Until you break through. Other than that... Watch videos, streams. There's a plenty to go off of and learn from
Or just play the game. Works just fine, though takes probably more time and frustration
what he means when you died look what time it was in game where you came from where did you get shot from wy you died ( bad spot looting bad gun fight .....)
then look what coud i have don difrent coud i com from difrent angel coud i have heard him dit i play to fast to slow ....
then ajust your play styl
repeat
For me the biggest change was to pretty much not sprint everywhere
I would walk in customs from one extract along the edge of the map listening for audio cues and examining the area around for players
You still need help?
What is the best item to transfer dollars into roubles
...
what am I supposed to do when I get star rounded
pray
look down and throw a grenade; no one expects that 🤣
tbh tho thats a GG right there
i tried
GG
if i have a gtx 1050 an i3 8100 and 16 gb ram could i run tarkov at medium settings abovee 60 fps?
where do i go so someone can help me learn the game
Tarkov isnt insanely demanding on the gpu but i more dependabt on ram, and harddrive

^^@mighty zenith
can anyone give me a rundown of big patch stuff and how late it is into wipe
last only really played like a year ago lol
can someone link the maps for reserve and interchange
Is this a decent loadout for my first games?
it's ok bud 🙂
Quit lying lol he wont kill anything a pistol
the pistols are crazy powerful
Best to unlock jaegar and buy some mp133s
ive gotten like 3 of my 7 kills so far with the pmm
seems fine
ignore this guy
just try to headshot a scav and take his stuff
hello any one help me wit hcustom plz
First game lol “just headshot”
can someone link the maps for reserve and interchange
it's rly not hard
Is there a comprehensive guide somewhere for the found-in-raid changes they introduced around June?
what about reserve
ty
What tips can someone give to help me survive a woods raid because I just want to unlock jaeger lmao
@frosty compass harder than using buckshot 🤷
have you tried playing with other people?
no just solo
@torn solstice all my low level buddies did a night woods and crawled most the way
crawled?!?!
anyone wanna teach me reserve or interchange?
i kinda know interchange but not that well
scavs don't move and let you headshot them, and will have an mp133 anyway, so might as well headshot one and take his gun
@frosty compass never seen a new player be able to consistently head shot scavs 🤷
obviously noobs are bad at everything
doesn't mean they just need to avoid combat forever
Some noobs have fps experience
and i believe most noobs in tarkov have played other fps
I didnt say avoid combat i said take a shotgun instead of a pistol, cant believe anyone would argue otherwise lol but here we are
i don't see how you feel that taking a shotgun over pm is the one thing in tarkov nobody can disagree with lol
You keep arguin bud, why lol
like I said, shotgun is obviously better but you might as well just use the bare minimum to kill a scav and take their rig, backpack etc.
oh right, sorry for replying to people talkin to me in a public discord server buddy 😄
relax man
no need to be hostile
10k pistol, 18k shotgun 🤷
pms cost less and u cant get a shotgun lvl 1
u need to get atleast level 2 and do jaeger
yes
Yeah thats why i said unlock jaegar haha
jaeger
yes cus a new player can just waltz into woods and do the mission
instead of doing his customs missions like he should be doing lmao
Higher chance to get blasted this late on customs than woods but i guess we just play differently
"ye just go to the map where everyone runs a thermal M1A with M61 and find a camp in a place that has no land mark new player that has no experience"
not sure what you mean there, noobs have to do their quests and they're on customs... going woods randomly ain't gonna help
Personally i grind out level 1 with the aks the game gives you, at 2 i go to jaegar and unlock him, 2-10 i do solo night factory runs with a flashlight, 10 rounds later im level 10 and have flea, if anyone else does it diff cool but thats how i roll
all I said is PM is better for noobs as it's cheaper and you can get better gear off scavs anyway, you took this way too personally lol
the hassle for a shotgun isnt worth it
when your first quest with parpor is to literally get shotguns
it makes no sense getting to lvl 2 and then going woods for a new player
its porbably ur like 3rd wipe
shotgun is way better if you know what youre doing
but if i dont
stick to customs and pistols
it makes no sense what so ever for an unexprienced player to go to a map that has fuck loads of thermal camping twats lol
and woods has no land marks for a new player
its literally just woods
poor guy will go to woods and cant even find jeager camp or even where he is at when looking at a youtube video
yup
Idk man sounds like we just make different decisions
tbf i did the jaeger quest fairly early but it is confusing af and i don't really know how
u arent a new player
coz ur making decisions when ur already experienced in the game
u need to think about how new player do
but when youre new u stick to customs
i first tried finding jaeger took me 4 raids to find where im at
customs has way less choke points
then extract is another thing
i'm amazed someone thinks noobs shouldn't use PM to kill scavs.. that's like the single biggest way to get gear as a noob
i would use an sks personally
but depends on the time of wipe aswell
if its early use pistols
if its mid use SKS
nah its fine just go woods do jaeger and shotgun factory i used to do this this is my 3rd wipe its pretty simple for a noob
like just pop a head or two at old gas or ruaf roadblock, free loadout
thats hard for a new player granted easier than going woods though lmao
man I hate the sks lol, but it's cheap indeed
except it's the easiest thing possible, so if that's too hard for a noob they just need to suck it up
yep
the scavs stand there and don't see you until you're close, so just line up and pew
thats what happened to me when i started
i couldnt do shit
but for some reason this game is addicting
even if u lose your shit
or even if its hard af
the reward feels great
granted i havent played tarkov since oct now
or september
I guess i value getting 10 asap more than others might
because u arent new?
holy shit
like this guy
people vlaue getting 10 when its not there first wipe
most people dont EVEN KNOW whats at 10
if its ur first then u need to know the basics first
this guy just assumes everyone knows the entire game when they buy it
what kind of logic is that?
just get to level 10 its simple
the passive aggression is weird lol
also how is a shotgun better to get u to 10 than an SKS?
take an sks to reserve kill 10 raiders and youre level 10
but noooo go through the whole hassle of getting jaeger to get a pump shotgun
You guys assume im some op player but im literally level 11 a week into tarkov, check my twitch and watch my only vod
needing shotgun to kill scavs, feels weird man
first of all no one assumed youre op
then why argue aggressively with people who know more 😦
youre very funny if u think that
second of all
its clear that u studied the game before buying it
unlike 90% of the people
so good on u
but your logic is hella flawed
no one is getting to 10 by going jaeger lol
Yaaaaaa idk man i just watched a youtube video to unlock jae and then read reddit like 1 or 2 times to get the factory trick, i wanted 10 asap to be able to buy a real gun and ammo lol like i said we just make different decisions
everybody is going customs - labs or reserve - labs
or do factory till 10
hell labs pistols is the easiest xp out there
pop raiders in the head
easy 2k xp a pop
kill 10 raiders u are lvl 6 alredy
already*
also unlocking 10 at the start of the wipe means nothing
cus everything is overpriced
u want to buy screws for your hideout?
Thats why i keep saying we just play differently
dude, it's not that big of a deal, let it go
100k rubles
its not the we play differently u havent had a wipe yet lmao
I mean
Lol
Idk man id prob rush to 10 and go to reserve and pick up ammo and sell it if we had just wiped
Free money
reserve- labs is better
Then id buy a gun with a scope and play shoreline
cus high end gear found in raid
sell it on flea over priced
id like to see u buy a gun or a scope 3 hours after wipe
when they cost 300k each lol
some big boi over here
Ive never done labs and the entry fee doesnt seem worth it without a full group
LMFAOOO
my mans never had a wipe and hes talking about getting 10 and buying guns lol
big oof my dude
Man you guys get mad when players dont play exactly like you lol
its not when u play not like us
its when u say shit that new players will use
and it makes no fucking sense
dont spread random bad shit if u dont have experience
if players dont play exactly like me i wont be mad coz its very hard
i started playing labs at level 8 when im only 1week into tarkov
so u dont know how wildly different tarkov is when wipe day comes
mid wipe tarkov doesnt even come close to how stupid wipe tarkov is
screws right now cost like 10~k on flea
wipe day comes and they are 150k a pop
ahahahahahahha
Yah idk id view getting 10 more important at beginning of a wipe than ever before so you can do exactly as you say lol sell stuff for a lot of money early on
that was my strategy for wipe
problem is no one has the money to pay for it
whats the point of selling high
if no one can pay?
u dont got labs to sell the loost
So youre saying no one buys anything from flea market day 1? That seems sus
u go labs to get kits
basically only sweats that money run can buy stuff off flea
unless u wanna buy an ak74 at 200k
did u just say that labs isnt worth it?
So...someone has money is what your saying
if theyve got money its cus they killed people
Like i said guys i just play differently, not sure what else to say
Im not lol
u are
Its how i did it man
u said it easier for a new player to go woods and do jaeger?
you say this as if your wrong advice is 'just an opinion'
All advice is just an opinion lol
it's passive aggressive and annoying
just go labs its easy
Then leave lol no one forcing you respond or stay here
like, you have people totalling 10x your playtime telling you that your advice is misleading and poor, when will you just take the message
im responding cus u spread wrong shit to new players
when u clearly arent experinced yourself
what's with going to a game you've barely played and giving advice and arguing lol
cool every half decent tarkov player gets lvl 10 in 3 hours
Didnt know there was a wrong way to play tarkov, TIL
holy shit
not a wrong way but most efficient
this guy is hell bent on us attacking his playstyle
u dont get that we dont care how u play
we care that its not a good way for NEW player to play
Ya idk man im a new player
Which means im new
and have less than probably 40 hours exprience
because u clearly arent NEW
well if you like making money, gaining XP, and doing the things the entire game is based on, there is
u STUDIED
u should go to labs bro @slender otter i made 30m in 2 weeks in labs
Christ you guys are so mad
the average player doesnt go and learn everything about the game
because your spreading wrong info lmao
your play style isnt a playstyle fit for a new player
nobody's mad, you're just obviously being a dumb troll
Bro its not wrong its just not how you feel it should be done, there is no wrong way to play tarkov lol
he still doesnt get it
that's like saying there's no wrong way to play chess if you constantly try to lose on purpose
its like talking to a wall
obviously games have goals and if you're being brain damaged on purpose then that's sub optimal
Man no need to call me brain damaged
@slender otter 2 months back how wouldve u leveled to 10?
just a question
if u got the game 2 months ag
ago*
Christ man id do it exactly the same way i just did it this week
buying guns off flea at lvl10, feels weird man
good thing u started off when it was easy i guess
cus jaeger wasnt a thing back 2 months ago
he was from level 15 or 10 basically
Like you couldnt unlock him til a certain level or you just saying thats how you felt
u couldnt accept gunsmith till lvl5
and u needed to finish gunsmith
before u got the quest
and there was no trade for gunsmith parts
u had to find them
or buy them
so no jaeger till 10 minimum
Ah gotcha yea thatd make sense, if that was the case id have gone the sks route instead of shotguns but i still would have done night factory til 10
well that also wouldnt have worked cus no flashlights
Then i guess id prob look up what guns i can get a flashlight on, maybe an smg? Who knows
Well then id have joined a discord squad doing 5 man factory runs with an sks
then u arent learning but being carried
and have no progress because u have to share loot and kills
in a factory raid
at that points its easier xp going customs
Sounds like, once again, we just might do things, wait for it, differently lol
again on we
But that doesnt make either of us wrong my guy
i literally dont play tarkov anymore
how do i not die while trying to unlock jaeger
i havent touched the game in 3 months now
@slender otter lol
do u know where his camp is?
yeah
hide in a bush for a while
is customs where the xp is at?
ask @torn solstice @slender otter he knows how easy it is
Hanz i told ya my guy, night woods and crawl
I've been grinding factory and reserve for weeks :?
ima spawn in and go afk for 20 minutes then do it
labs is best exp if ur level 20 above
hide in a bush for like 5-10 mins wait till everybody left spawn and then take it and run to extract on the outskirts
i am 4
customs tasks then
I was like 12 before they reset a year ago
do tasks
customs tasks if u are new
its easier to do and u get alot more exp
what should i bring weapon wise
and I'm trying to freaking catch up to 10 so I can start doing black market trading
sks's have worked well for me
what ever u have
i did mine using a pistol
I don't really know customs maps yet
coz u avoid fight anyway
I'll have to practice it
i did mine with a knife
u just need a gun for scavs
@torn solstice i didnt take anything when i went to unlock him
customs should be the first map u learn because it has the main questline
and it gets u a better container
do i not have to get the survived status? can i just get run-through and it will work
@slender otter u done your punishers yet?
pretty sure u can runthrough as long as u live through it
but try and get survived
@torn solstice as long as you are in raid for 11 mins you get survived
if the mission isnt found in raid u can get a run through
ok thx
10 mins not 11
Ive left at 10 and it didnt work me sometimes like the server time and my client time didnt match so now i always do 11 and it works
u need 10 minutes from your spawn time not raid counter
Yeah i know i was doing factory pmc
No need for the put downs my guy
get yourself an ASH-12 and 1 tap fools
play however u like my guy no ones stopping you from doing that
I like the saiga 12 with a holo and the slugs you get from prappy boye
slugs?
pudgy how u doin
Poleva 6 more like shiteva 6
Got to lvl 22
12x70 led slug
BRUH WHAT
Shit
you are a noob, that's not a put down
whenver i like to use a nice gun in factory i get an ak-74n and put a dovetail sight on it and it works very well
I'd use 7mm buck any day over those slugs
i've never understood the love for shotgun slugs
the whole point of shotguns being legit is that you get a spray of pellets that can head-eyes imo
Irl they would crush your ribs
Well i use the saiga with a holo and go for thorax shots
GL when u hit arms or any kind of armor
lmao
Magnum fuck their eyes
this
magnum fuckshot headeyes
slug shotgun just feels like a bad mosin to me
Mp153, you don't need anything else
Sprut and a klesch
or the new shotgun
Shrap 25 on Factory
blind them and fuck them
Oneshotting legs
Yah im not sure how effective the slugs are vs players but vs the scavs in factory its not bad, on other maps i use the aus sa 58 and m80 with a valday
Scavs hear boss music when you approach with magnum fuckshot
switch to buckshot
whole different world
are there any medstation crafts I should be doing constantly? can't figure out which ones are the value ones
or if any are
They fucked the salewas
i mean the salewas are worth
really?
i havent played in a while
2 of each now
@worn silo not really wantin to play factory now that im 11, been doing shoreline woods and interchange mostly
sad Pepe
I just trade paid if i need salewas
have u dont any of your quests? xD
I need 19k to reach lvl 22
dis guy still wondering where a pocket watch is
And I'm finally going to unlock prapor ll3
oh ye u were the guy who was under lvl 10 for 2 months
because he got like 20 mill
No i figure ill wait for the next wipe for the quests, would hate to finish them and wipe haha
dont worry u wont finish them that quick
levelling up merchants feels so good, I have all mine at 3 aside from jaeger and ragman reputation being too low
Btw I got 10 mil now
i suggest u do them now before u get a real fucking vibe check when wipe comes
waiting around for nothing is pointless
wipe isn't that close and doing the quests once will make you know how to do it
what do i do when I have too many dollars and not enough roubles
By the time it wipes I shouldn't have gearfear
get roubles
Meh im mostly practicing map knowledge, spawn knowledge and pvp
how are you a noob but have killa as your pic
god u are going to have a great time when wipe rolls around xD
I forgot to tidy up my stash hold hp
whats your twitch i wanna follow so i can see u go through wipe
now is the perfect time to do quests... when a million people are zerging the quest spots I imagine you will feel miserable learning
Same as my name
i thought u wrote i forgot to TIDDIE
I ain't got anyone's tiddies doe
Ya
stupid sexy usec
aight im following
Thanks man
mines around 4
Long dongin it in my dreams ofc
but thats because they include scav kills
My sr is right around 35
i used the same ADAR for like 16 raids
thats decent
i mean u said youre going for mostly pvp
Can I shove m4 lowers in my alpha?
if u got a 35 going for pvp thats pretty good
probably not
Meh idk cause doing the factory runs with no players in them is not super hard
also what with your first scav raid?
No one does the night factory at like 12am pst
u waited till 20 seconds left to go to extract
u can just run through as scav
I was smokin weed
fair nuff
And took too long to go find more gear
You can see me panic at the end
Trying to look for bodies with 30 sec to go haha
On the night runs it was 50/50
At 12am pst you can do solo night factory and theres just no pmc at all
No one plays it for some reason lol
So far I've done only one night run... On woods
lol
pudgy have u been doing your quests?
u bought the game about when wipe happened
bruh, you're missing out
I don't even look at woods
do you not play a lot, pudgy?
Fuck woods and that dumbass called jager
missing out on T7s and thermal M1As
I wanna do some more night runs but not on that shithole
yes, literally 10 thermal chads every raid... nah
i wouldn't do woods at night but these things are somewhat exaggerated
I still got sniped out of nowhere
i mean atleast 70% if the raids theres 1 thermal
if not a duo with thermal m1a drum mags and max recoil setups
dont get me wrong i play budget woods
because thats fun for me
I have 2 meta m4s that im never going to use
@slender otter what lvl are u in this stream?
sell them, then
u have no money and no gear
Both 34 recoil
26k roubles and 1 gun with no ammo
The muzzle flash is insane
Im level 10 in the stream and end it getting to 11 by turning in a quest
why you gotta roast him
i was seriously asking
Ya i dont really do scav runs so im probably starving myself
i was afraid that was his lvl 1
I do like 1 scav maybe a day
If you barely touch a gzhel it's gonna crumble
basically each armor is made out of a material
and some are more breakable
some are less
i saw u only buy ceramic armor
Uwhmpe is the best for repair quality
which is the most breakable least repairable most costly armor
Armored steel second best
overall UHWHPE is best for 90% of situations
I don't know which one is more durable at taking shots tho
UH is better
Combined materials 💩
tbh this ain't that important for a noob
It doesn't repair well at all
it is when hes buying ghezels instead of troopers
ye its more of a 1 time use
I found a gzhel
Korund is second best now
those things are pure garbage
if u get shot 2/3 times youre dead
i havent touched tarkov in like 3 months
lol no
nice
i also sold a green keycard and didnt claim the money
bruh
ok I regret letting you give the noob advice now
xD
your head was used as pinata as a baby
i mean it was after i reset
Still better than not claiming a red keycard
so i didnt care for the money
i reset twice this wipe
cus i got bored
before i reset the first time i filled up my GPU farm
and then restart
instantly
@cloud rover @frosty compass my last kit
lvl 11 xD
sooo yeah, pinata
got it in raid
Anyone on EU that can give me some pointers/play some games together if possible?
found it in a cache in customs
god i would but i havent touched the game in nearly 3 months now
Darn :p
my shit before stopping
😮
Been playing a few weeks, watched lots of guides but still can't get a good KD/Survival ratio
Poor af
Hold on
all of the backpacks are full
Take a glance at my stash
what have u been doing in game
what lvl are u aswell
14 Roasted; Often Customs/Factory
quests?
Bronze Pocket Watch
u should do that
also do u have a preferred gun?
a gun u are more "confident" with
or had some success with
yes
stay with shotguns for now then
if u need some good budget guns pm me
@worn silo oh ive just been trying to buy level 3 armor super cheap and not repair it or insure it, got one of those vests at like 40/70 for 20k at one time
also go do your pockewatch quest
FIR lower face mask, poggers
ye i started collecting them from the start lo
at least i have space now
ye but u also only scaved run for 3 weeks
put ur fuckin cases next to each other bro, that's inhuman
40/70 means u have no armor
@worn silo holy fu, you alive
u are basically wearing class 1 with 40/70 kirasa
the lower the HP of armor, the worse it gets
ye im alive
always repair it
i thought you were executed by @bold kernel
nah

i just stopped playing
i couldnt be asked
how are the toiletheads?
i havent been there in ages
dk
aaaaa i can't look at those sitting like that
kinda dead
ripperoni
@worn silo was just tryin to buy an armor that was cheap and would stop maybe one shot from a scav cause my reactions are a bit slow, what armor would you use? Keep in mind im poor and would rather not play scav
6b15 ulley
40k for full armor
instead of half broken class 3
@worn silo
offtop question: do you know how many randoms know where is Figaro?
armor in the game is less effective the less hp it has
Im just going for the cheapest runs
whatsa a figaro
40k is a lot
that kirasa literally doesnt offer protection
like
im not saying
class 3 is useless
Prob stop buyin the armor then i guess if i dont need it
im saying the armor is degraded to the point it doesnt stop anything
kirasa is good material
and it will stop shotguns
material 
but not when its degraded
Well its just for scavs i was under impression there guns werent super strong just like a shotty or a ak here and there
ye kirasa will stop shotguns and pistols
but when its half hp
I was mostly buying it to avoid one shots from shotguns on scavs
its not as good
kirasa - best lvl 3 armor - change my mind
true, t3 or whatever can be good against scavs, but I wouldn't actively buy it for this purpose. I wear t3 if I have it lying around from the last run
but it's a money sink to buy
Prob stop buyin then, same reason i stopped buy helms cause the level 3 wasnt doing me well
dont buy damaged armors that arent atleast 80% full
cus then they arent as a effective as full ones
they offer less protection then their armor class
a 10/10 slick is like wearing a thick jacket
at that point u are basically wearing a weight
I thought the armor was like its hp and shots kept chipping at its hp but it was still level 3 but your saying like 20/70 level 3 armor is worse than a full level 2?
a cold thick jacker
yes
Ah ya i didnt know that
So under 50% drops the armor class?
it drops before that
but u might aswell count it as useless when its under 50
also material makes a big difference
Oh savage lol
ceramic armors are shit
because the go 100-0 in 2 shots
but ultra heavy polyethelyne
offers great repairablity
and doesnt take alot of damage
those having more basically effectiveness
@slender otter Durability of armor is important, the lower the current % of durability remaining the less protection the armor offers overall. The durability % is calculated by dividing the current durability of the armor by the original maximum durability of the armor. As an example a 60/60 repaired LBT 6094A Slick Plate Carrier armor is calculated as 60/80, or 75%.
The durability damage taken from bullets is based on the penetration value of the ammo and the armor level of the armor, multiplied by the ammo’s armor damage % and the armor material’s destructibility %. The minimum durability damage armor can take from a single hit is 1, including from individual buckshot pellets. Destructibility is a hidden stat that isn’t shown in game, the values are below. A penetrating round does a little bit less durability damage to armor than a round that does not penetrate. It varies, but is usually around 10-15% less.
i know this is a long copy paste
but it explains how armor works
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

heres the tarkov wiki that has more info on armor and bullets
armor breakablity and repair are different between armors and materials
So youre saying paca maxed is better than killa armor if the killa armor is at like 10 outta whatever its max is?
basically
thats an extreme
but both would stop just about the same bullet
buuuuut
killa armor costs nothing to repair
and repairs almost fully
and paca will cost u around 20k to repair
and will repair badly
dvds cords chainlets toolsets
u can trade HHDs for backpacks
fuzes u can get grenades
nope
crincket u can yeet
cigs also
cpu u can sell on flea
usb also
everything i say is going to flea basically
@slender otter also each armor has a material that is more or less destructable
ceramic takes 0.8 damage from a bullet
i'm happy keeping low tier barter stuff, but is anything here ACTUALLY awful for ZERO use?
while ultra heavy takes only 0.45
Paid WD-40 bloodsets
circuit boards
cpu fans
ram
crinckets are only used for 1 or 2 trades
aren't these bitcoin farm upgrades?
apparently i forgot my salewa 3 months ago
s t o n k s
they are but they also cost nothing
if u sell them now u have more inv space and u already "paid for them"
because u sold them
so u got the money it costs

the whole place is colour schemed
oli is green, goshan is red, ikea looks like ikea
what is the dim red IR looking attachment I see people have and what does it do?
It's like a laser sight but without the laser. It helps with hipfire and doesn't reveal your position that easily. That's what other people have told me at least I never use it.
Can anyone help me learn Customs and the game in general? I'm very new to the game.

trying to add a foregrip on my very first M4... Bought a shift from flea but can't install it, can anyone help?
a shift?
do you have a guide?
you need a rail to mount it on your gun
U need a 4.1 inch rail for it
Not really... Just figuring out how to install a foregrip on my m4, I have an empty slot on the gun but it won'g go in
4.1 inch guide
ah ok
Use edit preset if u don’t know how to mods something
and also do a linked search on the gun and identify all the parts
It will give u all the possible ways of putting a shift grip on ur gun
nice m4 though lemme know how it works 👀
Thanks guys!
I'll let you know how it works after I get one tapped by a chad without getting to fire a round
😆
I'm really new, can anyone recommend weapons/gear for levels 1-10?
I mostly used Mosin and PP-19 from Prapor tier 1
yes mosin one taps good
plus whatever you can find
use weapons from scavs too, free gear
does weapon durability affect performance?
Thanks
it's an irrelevant stat afaik
the lower your weapon durability is the more likely it'll jam
Hi guys. I wanted some info before I buy the game

do any traders buy armor or vests?
Ragman
fence buys anything but if other merchants take it too, he'll always give the worst price
he won't take armor if it's too damaged, and no trader will buy any item that already has items inside of it
ohh gotcha
