id like to hear this too. similar specs for mine
If u need help go to 5 man #1
why am i so bad
even on low the game runs badly
it probably dosent help that i have a f tier pc
don't blame it too much on the PC
part of the reason could be the PC
but not all of it
i havent even completed the debut task
how do i split 1 stack of something into 2
Control left click into square
hold ctrl and drag
ctrl leftclick drag
theres a higher chance of getting a purple level skin in csgo than me extracting from a raid as a pmc
one's based on skill one's based on luck lol
i have a 7% chance of extracting and it was originally 5%

Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
^TL;DR Community of helpers and guides. My self and others available to answer questions.
ok ty
@shrewd talon I can't see your shots fired but going by your limbs lost, k/d, and kia raids I'd assume some bad aim was involved. Possibly a lack of situational awareness due to looting exp being higher then killing exp... If you need advice to address your methods I will be on Sherpa hub's 'watch a sherpa' along with others who may be of help.
help real quick does a long flat screwdriver sell for anythin
Need help with begining quests first time actually going through them
interchange run was ok i guess
LF help with The guide, only 1 map left factory
yo i need help with tetris
Is the AKM or the SKS better?
They shoot the same caliber, but I think the AKM has a little better modding potential, and you get full auto
Thanks @delicate wren
np
LF1 NA im newer but im not terrible dm me
LF1 Just want to play a duo with someone who doesn't mind me not knowing mostly everything :p (Brand new)
yo anybody who can learn me tarkov?
Could anybody help me with the bronze pocketwatch task?
Need help with task, I'm struggling and keep dying. I'm good at Tarkov account just got reset, need help getting back.
wonder why his account was reset
did he post stuff in the wrong channel
Anyone on willing to help a newer player finish some quests on customs? i need the bronze pocketwatch and the water from inside dorms. I'm level 10 on NA servers
whats the best level one trader 7.62 x 54 round
oh
what handguard goes on the 20 inch barrel for m4?
all
i think i might of just had the best raid of my life
i killed 2 pmcs, a lvl 65 and 18 holy shit
the lvl 65 had a stacked fucking sa 58
try to restart if you haven't already
let me guess you found a slick
it's flea, not flee
but nice
detective skillz
yep
im gonna sell it
go for it
dang bro
is it 100%?
its like 44/46
oof
how much is it supposed to be at
yeah you're not getting 1mil+ for that
then you need to filter to low hp ones if you want to flea it
is it FIR?
it's supposed to be 80/80
yikes
it is found in raid
weird
ok turns out it isnt found in raid
yes, I figured lol
i thought if you pick it off someones body its fir
the tick means FIR
Yikes I was slow. Yea, can't be FIR if it's not /80
if it spawns in raid it's FIR
if people bring it in, it's not
it can be
Right. So it'll have max durability. It may get damaged if someone used it.
or if you get stuff from hideout or quest rewards, they can be fir
but it's either that, or mostly just stuff spawned in the world
thats kinda stupid
You can't find a 79/79 FIR slick rick unless I am missing something.
it slows down the economy
the economy is super weird and dumb in this game
why does btc farm exist...
BTC farm is dumb.
why?
It's free money.
it comes with a cost
it's so wildly out of line with the game as a whole
How much are GPUs right now?
like 300? they went up cause btc went up
Aren't bitcoins 300k lmao
They are
they're 320
it was 150k 1 month ago no?
It's basically just a money printer, and it's dumb as hell, because it's practically impossible to run out of money at that point.
I only have it level 2, and it's basically a million a day for logging in
I have it level 2 as well
they market it as an edgy shooter for milsim morons who want to feel superior to cod
when you literally get handed free money
๐
muh hardcore game
it looks so pretty filled up
I wanna see lvl3 lol
I'm waiting for my last hideout upgrades, they be chugging
If you grabbed every bitcoin when they're finished producing with a level 3 BTC farm
that's almost 1.5 mil every day.
is it still a 3 capacity deal at lvl3?
That's 13.5m investment into bitcoin farm
And then you never have to worry about money ever again.
...so in 2 weeks you get infinite money
if theres anyone new i am in 2 man squad#3
Yes, I don't have to worry about fuel, Solar power fuel consumption is -60%
1.5mil a day lol, that's a free chad loadout to burn memeing on any map
even without that, fuel is very easy to find
If you have no time to play then it's good, to have high level hideout skills
I mean, you still got to log on to collect btc
fuel is stupid easy to find if you know where to look
Indeed
Reserve and Interchange have fuel all over the place
1 btc pays for 4 metal fuel for me
paying for fuel 
I wonder if tarkov's going to slowly die off/if the hype peak this year was a one-off
it feels like they'd have to rework SO much for it to stick long term
It's only 80k, nothing compared for 320k

1 full metal tank equals 65 hours
do i need to post the cat again
what does it mean?

could someone help me out with the quests on customs in dorms? i got the machinery key already for the pocketwatch but i need help getting the water for therapist. Any help would be greatly appreciated, i'm level 10 on NA servers.
bruh
can someone help me do some tasks [Im not the best] and help me get lvl ten
can someone pleaseeeee help me move this game onto an ssd
anyone wanna do a raid itll be my first one would like to have a battle buddy
@remote crater Move the game installation, uninstall through the game launcher, and click locate existing game installation after uninstalling
Hey I need a sherpa but the vc are full, is there someone outside of vc who can help me?
goes to beginner assistance voice channel to get some advice and tips
''Hey guys can anyone help me out?"
''Can you shut up we are in raid"
"Oh yeah i muted him"NICE ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
is anybody able to assist me in the undertaking of the "Delivery from the Past" or the "Operation Aquarias" tasks to which I have been assigned to complete but have thus far proven unable to carry out by ones self
what i did was just waited for about 20 minuets and then went dorms and make sure you have the right key foir operation aquarous
ok so idk what i just died to
i healed all my bleeds
had 2 blacked legs
and was looting
and then just died?
this was like 1 min after i healed all my bleeds
nah it wasnt from a player
my hydration is low now that i look at it
but shouldnt it tell me
if im low hydration
like it just suddenly kills you?
anyone want to help me get to level 10?
@frosty crown dehydration damages you
So you gotta heal through it or drink some liquids
@frosty crown I think it gives you the same indication all damage gives you... things start to go dark and red unless your vitals already low in which it kills you... Tarkov has little in the way of hand holding.
any sherpa's want to help a noob
anyone wanna jam togther hit me up
noob looking for help
@amber quail and @frozen nebula I've sent you a message. I'm not a sherpa but I can help you out
They never actually reply to sherpa requests so yeah XD
Only lvl 17 first wipe just want to do some quest or money making ๐
anyone tryna play?
Dehydration slowly damages your entire body and anytime you take even 1 damage on a black limb, you have a chance of dying. You probably had the fatal 1%
welcome to useless beginners VC moments
HI im new to Escape from tarkov and i have huge problems whit extraction points on every single map
@soft junco https://mapgenie.io/tarkov
i try d but is not helping me too much
usually exfils are on opposite side of place where you spawned
if you need help actually finding them, play the maps in the offline mode and just look for the extracts using the maps provided
ok tnx
anyone trying to help me get to lvl 10 ? :)
Kill Scavs in Factory
i do that, get to level 5, then run out of guns....
you can use your Scav character to supply you with guns
smart, thanks
Enjoy ๐
You can use factory as a map to join and run through to get the load out only
@midnight river When you scav you should be trying to bring out at least 2 guns every time
when your ISP is unreliable and your internet shits out in beginning of your first raid for the night...
wait is my PMC Sam Fisher
I dont want a wipe :C
I wont start from beginning im noob
do you need to do test drive for kappa?
level 3 looking for some help
@bold kernel yes test drive is needed for kappa.
come teamup with me
@frozen nebula dm me and I can set up a raid to help you out. I run a stream focused on new players and stream every night 10p to 3 am eastern would love to sherpa you for a few raids.
i might be level 3 but this is not my first wipe
i was till 20ish last wipe
anyone ?
@heady tusk I would be down to play tomorrow if you will be on if interested dm me and we can set something up.
very well
What should I sell
@hexed maple what level are you?
24
@hexed maple everything you wont use. in other words, probably everything minus the SSD/bolts/bulbs/gas analyzers, considering ur 24
did you do the Mechanic quests / mining or whatever it's called? you need 2x sets of tools + some random electronic bits
I would use a task and hideout list and everything not needed for those I would sell. I print both and cross stuff off them when I have it store and then use it when I need it. Everything else gets sold off.
@hexed maple
Thanks for the help it took me a while but i have sorted it out, my discord isnt allowing me to upload photos but I have kept the stuff mentioned above and looked what rare items I need for later tasks
@hexed maple you windows buton and left shift and s to grap a partion of your screen and past it
like this
Yeah i can take a screen shot but my discord just wont let me upload an image
noob looking for other noobs to play with. im level 4 and would like to learn this game with someone else

probably the wrong channel to post this but can someone come into a raid with me and drop 2 attachments for a gunsmith? i can put them in my container
I don't know why the fuck people play in the beginners assistance voice channel, they're idiots basically. It's obviously supposed to be a chatroom, the duo/trio/4 man blablabla rooms are for actually playing
so don't mind those people being toxic
@tired burrow I can help you if you will be on at 10pm est tonight. We can sell them through fence for you. Dm me if you want to set it up.
Lads what's the best way to get to lvl 10 rn?
I have almost no money and like 7 graphics cards in my inventory, but I'm not selling them until I unlock Flea
Tasks and headshots. Surviving raids gives you an xp multiplier so one less kill but extracting is better.
Quests, If you have any that you can squeeze out
Have been trying to find salewas like 2 days in a row
Should I use AK variant or M4/ADARS
do you want budget or max performance
ak's are easier to build on a cheap budget but mid-higher price range M4s/HKs are better
Isn't it preference or NATO is always better?
if you have access to lvl 3 peacekeeper & lvl 4 skier it's also much cheaper to get good 5.56 ammo than 5.45
though it's limited
Oh and how do you level up dealers?
and 5.56 is outright better than AK's at higher build costs due to the low recoil and high rate of fire
sell to/buy from them, do tasks for them to level up rep, get your pmc level higher
in the top right window of each trader it shows what you need for the next loyalty level for them, up to 4
Ok
@solid spade upgrade the med station once and craft them. That is what I did at start of wipe and it was pretty quick
Does the gear you bring into the raid affect the people you spawn in with.
@polar current what do you mean
No. There is no match making at all.
Does the game match make you with others that have similar gear?
oh ok
Any sherpas want to play
Sorry im a little confused, what is a 'Sherpa' ? ๐
@left valley it is a guide/teacher for new players.
Ahhh, thank you ๐ @tepid pollen
need help with tasks
um so i just got the game, have been doing tons of reserach and ive done like 5 raids. and now i lost practically everything
no meds, 2 pistols, and a few bullets is all i have. i have no idea what to do lol im so bad
@amber quail I can help@you later if you will be on I start my stream/playing at 10 pm eastern time. Dm me and we can set it up.
@craggy folio same thing I can help you tonight at 10pm eastern. Dm me and we can set it up.
sure thanks
Need some help, im level 14, 2.5 mil rubes and im struggling to PvP, i go on loot runs and as soon as i see someone im pretty much dead, also trying to complete tasks
i would personally recommend an aim trainer or something to boost your reaction time
there are plenty of programs if you can do everything but gun fights
I guess, i dont go near any marked rooms or good loot spots cause i just die instantly so frustrating haha
it's really all about tactics if you can get your aim down, just make sure you aint runnin at mach 6 around the map or everyone will hear you haha
the aiming will be pretty useless if the enemy knows where you are at all times
I just hit the jackpot on customs
lets see it
HEY CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH modding weapons sometime tonight
!sherpahub doin q&a in watch a sherpa
is shturman crate profitable
@bold kernel how do i watch
!sherpa
@terse cloud join the channel and you should be able to hear me. Streaming through my own twitch though as ppl say discord quality is no good.
@hexed maple no. The only thing that's profitable from his crate is the key itself.
You may get a lucky 1:20 red rebel... But it's not worth the $300k+ each for the key.
ok
need someone to help me in labs do a couple tasks i keep fying
I had 1 that wasnt FIR so i just used it gonna sell the stuff on flea and see how much i made
I made around 280k so not worth it unless i kill shturman and use the key in the same raid
Best thing to do would be go looking for game and join a 5 man squad factory. Factory has a max of 5 player that can join. Kill some scav get their loot and extract and do it all over again. But you need always 5 people. Also, you can start naked and have someone kill a scav so you can get a weapon.
Also max of 5 players mean that 5 pmc. If you do a 5 man squad then you take all those spot and donโt need to worry about running into a players. This however does not include player scav that spawn around 15 mins
Can someone help me with a small task on customs im not good enough to do it on my own.
Very interesting hatchet run!
ig you post on the #pvp-lfg that you meed help and what quest it is you might find someone faster too help.
how do you get a headshot with a grenade on a guy wearing a AVS Rig + TC-002 Helmet, (He was trapped in a room and i naded through the door), without dealing any damage to the rig or helmet? ๐ฎ
Anyone who needs help dm me
@lunar jetty Grenades have no damage toward armor currently. fragments that hit a vital like head or torso are usually lethal and the killing blow.
oh oki
Hello all, am confused about barter items for flea market. I would like to trade a packet of sugar for a metal fuel tank that's full. I do not have the option to select the full requirement (100/100). Could i theoretically get a fast one pulled on me and have someone give me an empty fuel tank for my sugar?
@devout umbra you can inspect the fuel tank before the trade, but as a rule of thumb player to player barters are almost always a losing deal
@maiden perch thanks for the quick reply. I should have mentioned that I am the one posting the deal. If it were the other way around, then yes I could see what they are offering. I would sell it directly but it goes for 100k and fees are 33k ๐คจ
@devout umbra I would recommend getting level 2 Jaeger. That way you can buy metal fuel cans straight from him for much cheaper than the fleamarket
Thanks @tired crane that's good to know I can get it from jaeger, i had no idea. I don't technically need the fuel tank, i just want something for around 100k which i can sell for lower fees. I'm 50k away from hitting my first mil and it's a me talk block now ๐
Mental **
if u bartered sugar for a fuel tank u wouldn't be able to re sell it on flea afterwards
Oh damn, loses it fir status?
pretty sure
You are right, just checked. Flea items don't keep fir. Glad i asked here first
that being said, if u need the fuel tank, i have about 10 or so
What's a good way to earn roubles, or good places to go within maps to get good loot
stash runs
Damn, thanks a lot @formal goblet but i have one sitting pretty at 98% I'm sure there is someone who needs it more
also if you run customs, there's tons of fuel spawns, metal and blue ones
yeah i found 2 blue ones and a metal on customs. Right by old gas station
Same with Interchange. All the loading bays have lots of possible fuel spawns
TY y'all, I haven't learned interchange yet but will work on it
if you are in NA I consider my self an innerchange expert
or as I like to call it "Winnerchange" where the "winners" go
Sadly im EU rn. Would have taken you up on that otherwise
can anyone recommend some good scopes to practice sniping with
i like the valday
@proven knoll a great beginner long range scope I would recommend is the Eotech VUDU
Alright i slapped it on a m700 so i'm gonna practice with scavs on reserve
yeah vudu is my 2nd choice
can someone help me sort my inventory
Garbage
Hey guys, does the flashbang and star shell works if the enemy has night vision goggles on eyes?
Yes
Any EU sherpers on atm? ๐
anyone got tips on ranging and zeroing having a tough time with it
any good resources for learning customs, i just started playing yesterdy. Lvl 3 trying to wrap my head around everything
need help with learning the basics of Tarkov i played before bur i wasent the best then so ill not be any better now DM or @ me if u wanna help
whats the best level one trader 5.56 round
offline whilst looking at map on wiki
@proven knoll go offline. reserve is a good map for this. Take a sniper position. a good scope. shot buildings one at a time. if you hit on target. your ranged fine. if your below target. range higher. get familiar with the distances.
anyone wanna help me start havent played in a while would be great if ya could! dm or @ me !
pretty sure no one sells them
maybe M855 but M855 is doodoo
Anyone down to carry me in a game and teach me some more stuff. Would really appreciate it!
gotta a question, is hip firing actually usable, like is it at all viable or is it just something never meant to be used
if u have a flashlight/laser combo toggled you will blind the enemy
any gadget that's active decreases hipfire spread
good to know
alot of the streamers use the IR devices
i'd imagine, do some testing for yourself in offline mode
with and without
personally i only run flashlights bc i go in alot of buildings on customs
explain what offline mode does pls
alright thanks
curious cause i wanna figure out customs
and no consequences for dying?
nope
if u die in offline u just go back to the menu with the same gear u went in with
do you just get less xp or is there like less naturally spawning loot or what?
No xp no loot
Loot does spawn and it shows ur xp but none of that transfers
Yh
how can i find these shotguns? i have not found a single one.
Theyโll be on scavs
scavs
how rare are they?
if u had more dinero u could just buy them
i have found countless mp 135 shotguns.
Itโs random what they spawn with
it needs 133
oh prob not then
Yeah jaeger sells them but you donโt have him yet
@civic scaffold it will get yoinked probably there are 100% other people looking for that shotgun
if you sell it to fence
yo my friend is new to tarkov im alright at it can some chad show him the ropes???
what is a ULTRA medical storage key and why is it worth 75k?
ledx spawn there
prob higher on flea
yeah
500k
defib and numerous med spawns there too, but its highly contested
@civic scaffold
its for interchange
@civic scaffold the key is worth ~1mil on flea, don't sell it yet
Can someone help me with farming part .1 on Factory
Yo, how long does it usually take until a complete beginner starts getting the hang of the game? I have about 45 hours in the game, I usually am able to finish a raid as a scav (especially if I spawn in late), but as soon as I go into a raid as my pmc, I die within 10 minutes, no matter what. I know I'm probably all thumbs, but the disparity between scav and pmc runs feels rather odd
anyone know if you can hold more than 1 docs case in your inventory at once
Depends on how quick you take to a game, im still learning myself, i die constantly but im getting the hang of things
yes you can hold more than one
get a 5 man to run factory with you. there will be no other PMCs and you can go in with a T bag and set of tools and then put the other set in your secure container
personally i think it depends on map knowledge so if you can memorize quickly its all good
like 100 hours to have very basic/bad knowledge, and a couple hundred more to have some ok knowledge on a range of maps
@bold kernel I think after two weeks I learned shoreline barter spawns and following edge of map... two months before I had a solid supply of op sks and was exploring new areas and completeing tasks.
I'm at 300 hours and still class myself as a beginner, but it's getting better. Learning is very slow
i started last wipe and learned then but started late so idk but i used my experience from other games to flank and get full kits
same with this wipe
i think im at 1.5 to 1.9 k hours
jesus christ
at this point in wipe, if you want a full kit, just scav at night and get a nvg loadout
dont know what i classify as
obviously not a beginner
yea
I roughly learned customs, or at least when I spawn I usually know where I am and which way to go to my extract
pick a map to learn is what i always reccomend
nice, you're 0.01% of the way there ๐
my biggest issue right now is it feels like someone goes through my mags just before I spawn and puts a blank as every second or third round in the mag
lol
honestly, do customs until it gets boring and quests send you elsewhere. memorising customs isn't that profitable versus other maps
to kill people you need good ammo and good aim
you're very likely just missing
best map to know is probs reserve, best item spawns and easy to rat and snake away if you like ratting, for chads its fun with geared players and raiders
true true
Reserve is known as a 'big loot' map so gets tons of attention imo though
and the amount of player scavs is ridiculous
possible, but still unpleasant, no matter the cause
but because of the size of map its easy to play
reserve is tiny...
I definitely would recommend shoreline as a transition from customs, same type of map but bigger and with actual good loot. not that dangerous
still havent learned shoreline as i hate the map but i hear that its good
well, it took me 45 hours to kill 3 scavs on custom, so I guess in another 30 hours I might be finished with the first task from prapor. Do the scav kills count only if i manage to extract?
i only play customs and shoreline
they count no matter what
that's a relief
but if u do run shoreline, there's 30+ stashes
you only have to extract when you place stuff
shoreline stash runs are miserable though
not always
the map is too big and it gets very boring
i have keys for the rooms but i have no idea where im going
you just have to use the map and learn
which is true
i started warming up to the idea of playing the map so i might start playing it more idk
i was a fan of interchange stashes when i was new
sorry i didnt mean to reply to that one
best map when i was new is factory
I am a fan of shoreline, it's the same as customs i.e. one big hotspot, a couple of smaller quieter loot locations, and the rest is free for noobs to get easy loot
old reply i never canceled
that map is still alot of fun
Interchange stashes are a lot better than shoreline imo
too many ratty player scavs on IC
i invested early game on interchange for the med room with ledx spawns, wasnt dissapointed
99% of player scavs on ic zerg to killa spawn, so going literally anywhere else is free stonks
at the begging of wipe i hit tech rooms and left as scav
nah homie, ollie is lit and all the tech stores are usually contested
oli is a graveyard
could be guaranteed death as well
Going mall is a waste of time as a scav for me, way too much attention for the loot
im loaded so i just go labs and reserve as they are quick fights and easy loot
oli loose loot, PCs, back of goshan, yes pls
i too am loaded and only run customs now
im trying to get a 5 man for factory to do the farming task need help
it's vastly safer than the mall and you can basically be afk
i used to run reserve alot before the expansion
ill join if there is like no specific gear i need to bring
and have only ran labs a handful of time
just need to be afk and fill slots I bet lol
i just need to fill the server so theres no risk of dying to a pmc
ill help
and to help clear scavs
if we can get 5
ive been trying for hours but i keep dying
ill help
what servers you guys on?

hey im new and need some help figuring out what im doing can anyone help me
yo ember u still need help
new player, level 5, looking for some help gaining experience and looting.
i can help u if u would like
Sure, I would love that. My username is BeerForTim on Tarkov
Sure, which chat room?
duo squad 4
is this game good i mean it sounds good should i buy it
it depends
hmm
what do you look for in a game
depends on ur definition of "good" i guess
yup
it's unbalanced and poorly made and frustrating, but interesting if you're super into stalker/metro games and like FPS
it's also extremely expensive
can anyone help me and my friend ?
yeah like 60$ right?
we are new
I'd only buy if you've seen yt videos and think it seems amazing
if ur looking for a game that will destroy ur mental state bc of its difficulty then look no further
yeah watch lots of yt vids
ive seen summit1g play it it seems fun
told my bud to do the same and he ignored and hates the game lol
lmai
its extremely frustrating if you dont know what you are doing
so be prepared that the learning curve will hurt
okay lmao
honestly, i think it's more fun to watch
@mental dune I would watch someone that isn't that good play. See what it really is like for us mere mortals.
Is it possible to change my fourm name?
watch Aqua
on twitch?
he's garbage at the game but he's fun to watch
on twitch or yt
doesn't matter tbh
If you want a more in depth guide
or, rather, to learn something
Watch Pestily's Raid series
specifically, season 2
okay
pestily is a bit of a sweatlord but aqua is fun
Pestily's raid series is kinda dedicated to helping new players
yeah if u want to watch someone for educational purposes it's pestily
not a game for everyone for sure, but it is hella fun if you're into it
yeah im trying to find a new game to play after getting banned from cold war for no reason they didnt tell me anything
he remains a bit of a sweatlord
doesn't really capture the chaotic fun imo
'for no reason'? ๐
cool
I'm glad you think I am
did you actually watch it
I agree in fact
yep they didnt tell me why i was banned or nothing i had the game for ab 2 days then got banned
why is it that 90% of the time when people say this, they hacked or griefed lol
idk lmao
because they probably did lol
it was on update day and like 3 of my friends were banned same day
ikr ๐ in rust people constantly get banned 'for nothing' who use multihack
seems likely that one was hacking at the very least, maybe playing with them got you on the naughty list
๐ข
yeah i payed 80$ for the fucking game
that is a large oof
lmaoo
should i buy an sks or a mosin
i prefer mosin
but its more expensive
scav runs doesn't affect your main character's progression
Alright
it is solely to make money if you need to
depends on what you plan to do and your budget bro
ps rounds are easy to come by but this is end game and it won't do much unless you hit consistent headshots
oh against scavs you can use whatever
just know you will be sitting ducks against most PMCs
we are on the second part of delivery from the past looking for 2 for the factory if anyone wants to help us out quicklly
avoid them at all cost, bring a grenade to keep distance and run
is that the quest you have to sit in that metal shack for 30 sec?
not much of a beginner but i need help with a shoreline task
which one?
have to mark a UN truck and get a doc out of 206, also have to kill scavs wearing untar armor
the UNTAR one is a grind, I recommend going along the bottom of the map
Cottages, Scav Island, Gas Station and Radio Tower
wherever i spawn, i tried to get onto this path while doing the untar
others are also worth, just depends on your extract
I'd skip the Pier
as long as it doesn't have boss scav, it's worth checking
you're going gas station anyway
!sherpahub
need help with woods scav kills
sit in these rocks, there are always tons of scavs in this area
if there aren't any after a while, you can just reset
hey im looking for some help
anyone wanna help a noob on customs
noted boss
ty sir
need help with interchange scav kills
ive been a beginner for 2 years (i dont play super often, ive just owned the game for a while) because i am pretty bad at the game but never really tried to like, be super good, but one thing ive always noticed about my play is whenever i come on to do a practice raid on offline mode i always seem to do really really well in them. but once i throw myself into an online raid i always seem to do pretty bad, maybe Im just making it hard for myself early but I just finished an offline raid and came out of it with like 7 or 8 kills and i wish i just had that performance in a real raid, yknow? whenever I'm in one I just throw them really hard, and I just wish i can break that shit
how have any epic gamers broken free from that weird thing, if you've ever had to deal with it in the first place? cuz this game fuckin rocks, and i really do wanna play it more but that thing really holds me back on it
it's cause with a scav you don't care if you die
so you don't choke
so you need to get used to not caring about your PMC gear
okay my computer blue screened while i was typing my response...
anyone want to help me i just started playing and don't know where to start
and yeah, i know that but i mean more in line of offline pmc raids, i still choke as a scav as well
ive never really felt gear fear when playing as a pmc or scav unless i get myself a sick kill and grab a super gun
but somehow the Transition between offline and online just kills my flow or whatever
i treat scav runs as meme/intel/practice runs
it's helped me loosen up my flow a lot, but i'm still working on it
what map should i go to (im poor btw) for easy loot?
ive ran factory a couple of times and its been pretty good
ah, ive always seen scav runs as runs to just get shit, not exactly intel or practice runs
maybe i can try that and see how it goes
if you're broke then sure, but I don't care that much about money any more
if you don't mind just doing stashes, go interchange
ive never done interchange
free loot, only do interchange at night also
cause inside there are lights anyway
and it just means you're safer at spawn and while ratting outside
there's basically no reason not to imo
ok
i think good advice early on is to get loot/map knowledge/pvp experience on your scav, and do quests on your pmc
honestly, that ain't bad advice in general
although relying on scav for money becomes a bit of a crutch
i think one thing that really pushes me off too, is the cooldown with a scav, because sometimes i do learn a lot and get a lot from a scav but then you gotta wait 15 minutes and im like NO! i wanna go back in there!
you can upgrade the CD in hideout if you get that far
good luck dude ๐
Thanks @frosty compass appreciate it my friend!
can anyone help me do gunsmith part 1, i have the shotgun but i dont have the parts i need or flea market
@bold kernel I can help you, we can use fence to do it let me know if you want to.
im a beginner and i need a team
pog
your route misses the crates by the bridge what the fuck
only interchange at night for stash running?
wot do u mean
as justin beeb once asked
the one all the way at the end to the right where power plant is visible from is also usually an awesome crate
also you missed a stash at emercom
i don't mind skipping that, especially if i finish there
Night makes them shine in moonlight, but it may be harder if you don't know the outside of IC.
is this some cia interrogation
don't worry about it
believe me, i'm not
it's just a guide, not a fixed rulebook , and I think you are aware of that
if you get a kill in customs does it count to the quest that prapor gives you even if you due
*die
The 5 scav kills? yeah
stuff where you need to extract usually is only when you use items/grab quest items in the world
killing people always counts no matter what
Yeah the few that don't are pretty clear about it like kill x scavs on woods without meds. Damn Jeager.
k
I have been in here before asking the same thing but i cant figure it out so here it goes again. A couple months ago i started having stutters consistently every raid and now it has become so bad that the game has become unplayable for me. I have tried everything, settings, post fx, custom resolution, nvidia settings, i even wiped my computer and did a fresh install of everything but nothing works. If anyone has had this problem and found a solution pls let me know what you did.
no clue
can you send you pc specs*
but the game did fine a couple months back so i dont see why hardware would be the problem here @barren berry
but i can send them
wdym by ssd dying btw
losing speed, bad sectors, etc
if you've done this, it's a hardware issue
update drivers?
where can i find up to date maps of... the maps?
thank you!
i know prapor, therapist, and mechanic are my important traders, what should i be selling to each of them respectively?
i used to know this... but forgot
everything therapist takes is the best price
then mechanic takes the rest
then ragman takes clothes and backpacks
then fence/jaeger takes knives
He takes grenades at best price if you want to sell them
yo ik this is beginners assistance but ima treat it as normal tarkov assistance srry just so when i get in a raid it takes like 1 to 2 min to get in and stuff but then i factory reset my pc cause something weird was happened then i reinstall tarkov and then its fine my performance is fine no fps drops but the one thing wrong is that its literally takes me 5 min to load the world and loot can anyone help me with the problem
is it on ssd?
yes
was it on an ssd before?
how do you check what is an ssd srry might be a stupid question
just idk
c drive in 200 gigs
SSDs load stupid fast, but im not sure how to REALLY Check
i think and my d is 1 tb
that file size sounds like thats it
yeah
SSDs are a bajillion times faster but usually come at a cost of smaller file capacity
it sounds like your C drive is an ssd while your D drive is a hard drive
i dont know if the launcher features a way to move install folder
the easiest way but probably will take a while is to just uninstall and reinstall in your C drive
what you can do is copy the files from whatever directory you have the game now, I think you'll want to open the Battlestate Games folder and copy EFT and put them in wherever you want the game to be in your C Drive
ok
Move your Tarkov folder onto your SSD, uninstall Tarkov from the launcher, and then reinstall using existing files.
Anyone new got any quests on Customs? I have one to do and I am about to go and do a run, am EU can play NAE
Then you open up the launcher and it'll be like hey we dont got this game anymore and then youre like ahaha but i DO so you go to settings and set the game directory to be where it is now
lol
or this method
not sure what works better, whatever suits
me and my friend just got the game and cant add each other as friends, we get added but we dont see the request itself, could it be because one of us is usec and one is bear?
no
Okay, doing quest on customs, newies welcome, will be in 3 man squad 20 <-- EU will play NAE :)
you request for one

looking to play customs or woods, im in 2man squad 18 level 16 i have keys
i m in but i m new
your hack got detected
sure
It happens, no need to worry
okay cool
it's called an error
anny new players can use a sherpa you muse be age 18+
Why are my shots going lower than where Iโm aiming at close quarters
what the ammo speed and what is the bullit speed
If the sight is mounted high they will do that
at point blank range, the distance of the sight above the barrel matters
James gets me. He says what I mean.
or he zeod his scope rong if he is aim down sight
P90 bore/ironsight misalignment is insane
That would make him shoot high loor
coud also be is fov
Yeah that can mess it up crazy
but that only realy afecst long dictans shots
to realy now you need to see all his stuf
i remeber using us amo whit a ak74u and a hollow trying to kill a scave at 50/60meters dint hit him 1 whit 1shot tap on a full klip
then i found out the speed of the ammo was 1/3 of the gun

Can someone fence an M870 SGA Stock for me pls
@zenith nest
how do you go about getting the scav case in the hideout?
get everything you need xd
THIS GAME IS SHIT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE DOING MY QUEST WHERE I HAVE TO USE MOSIN WHEN EVERYONE HAS SVD OR M1A
Yeah thats why i am not doing quests till wipe just getting more comfortable with pvp and maps
i mean if you miss your shots you ded
there's an upgrade tree, all stuff leads into one another
factory
all quests are still doable
waiting for wipe is a bit pointless
it will be even worse then
does it really matter who i give the folder from the quest to on "supply plans" quest
It does not really matter, but if you want the money then give it to skier and if you want the XP then give it to therapist.
@stray shoal ^^
is a wipe close again? I thought it just wiped
no one knows
I know that EFT will wipe between jan-march
No you dont tho
Just wanna ask something but I heard during pvp you should try to peek from the left side why is that???
the guns on the right side so it gets blocked on the walls on the right easier
oh thx
can anyone teach me money runs or whats the best map doing it with scav?
reserve
interchange
customs
okay thank u^^
Reserve is probably the best but interchange is more viable if you are new I'd say
nonono
reserve it easy to learn and u can kill the raiders with the scav
easy money
on interchage u cannot farm boss and raiders
and the entire mall is a BIG MAZE
Implying new players would be better at fighting raiders and glukhar than navigating through interchange?
yea
in ths game if u don't know how to fight ur dead
If u know how to fight and the fighting mechanics ur a winner
if u know only the map and don't know how to shoot then u will be dead
Weirdchamp
so i have a problem with actually buying the game
does card just not work?
do i have to use paypal?
im attempting to use card and i get to the verification page, but it doesnt charge my bank anything
everything on the card correct? if yes, than it may be an issue with security settings for your card. check with your bank
i called my bank and they said no charges were requested
hello how when i try to update it halfway it say a error message pop up
Can you hook your CC on your PayPal?
im making a paypal account rn
try asking in #community-support
I occasionally get error messages when updating. I hit 'skip' if the option is available. then after the update goes through its cycle, it will prompt you to 'repair' or 'fix' and I go through the pain in the ass process that way. i dunno why but it works for me
ok
i keep losing connection on my scav, 2 times now
and i lost my gear on dc on extract wtf
I need help buying the ring mount its called B&T Mp5SD ring mount or something weird.. i can pay the dollar price for it.. For Gunsmith part 3
Man level 10 is so far away huh, can't bring any decent guns yet
just trying to farm saliwas but medkits hate me
how do i get a bigger pouch
Can someone Buy a Pt lock for the aks and sell it to fence for me?
also where am i supposed to find a bronze copper watch?
It is in customs, one sec and I can grab you a map ๐
ok thanks
In the construction area of customs, it is sitting in the cab of said truck. You will need the machinery key to open it
it is the lower red circle. The top one is a set spawn for the key. Though it is a super common key
alright thanks
could anyone run some raids with me? i just started and know some of the basics. I lost everything i had in raids so I have nothing but 80k roubles and some meds. No guns or anything. So if anyone could do a few with me and help me out that would be appreciated. dm me
Can anyone help me with the task where u need to take all 3 manifests in interchange
If you're having troubles with it, I would highly suggest splitting them up. You don't have to get all of them in one run
Did you
A: Turn it in after you got out with them?
B: Put it in your quest item stash?
C: Neither and went into a raid and died?
it happens yo, we have all been there. To put it in the offline quest item stash you have to go to the tasks menu and drop it down to the lower area
Lvl 5 looking to get some help with some runs to get to lvl 10 and the first few quests, getting one tapped a lot, NA west/central servers
You may want to post in #pvp-lfg, We mostly just answer questions here
Ok, ty
Lads is there anyone who can help me with the beginner quests, cuz I'm struggling with no guns and money to even buy anything
- I'm lvl 7, so I kinda have nothing
Same deal, this isn't the area to ask for runs. You will want to post in #pvp-lfg
Doesn't make any sense but k, ty
if you look at the chat above, you will see we mostly answer questions here
you can get bigger pouches in game by doing punsiher part 6 getting epsilon 2x4. Or completing the collector and getting kappa 3x4
can you upgrade your game to the "deluxe" version ?
so you get the bigger pouch without doing the quests
yes once you upgrade you will get this message in game giving you everything in that edition
i dont see where you can upgrade hmm

@fallen cargo That would only happen if you didn't go through the rule acceptance steps.
hey mreft what do you think the best way to learn customs is?
I would DM one of the staff online there to fix the issue then.
where is the sherpahub?
Offline mode is perfect for learning anything about the map and game mechanics.
for free
k thanks
i just com over hiere and take 1 or 2 new guys and take them on a run that way$
sherpa has no catch
Getting familiar with PvP and avoiding traffic takes experience and luck.
in the last moint i learnd like 30 peeps that way
whhat?
@bold kernel I help because I enjoy talking shop. and on the times I run raids with new players I usually laugh alot when they do something dangerous or silly.
oh i see sherpas dont actually raid with you
ok ok
they do
i do
they run point
learn you the map tel you what is good loot what good amo trades what tho sell ....
i doubt its that easy , ok i herby sido0101 summon a sherpa to accompany me
its not hard sherpa gives you loot and they raid with you
are you 18+
im 24
Feel free to put in a Sherpa request on the website or in the sherpahub ticket system.
the only thing i want from a person to learn them is that there age is 18+
i am 17 :/
@bold kernel will u help me if im 14
can you demand that if you becom a sherpa
14 lol u wont last long

hey im 32 i dont wanne have a 14 year old to talk to ... just weird and rong for me
understandable
๐ค
@odd jay I'm just doing Q&A atm. I am not sure how available I am in the near future.
i thought sherpa was 1 on 11
what?
it is
ok
There is plenty of youtube and streamers who are in raid and capable of showing how they each play.
well i have tried and they dont help me very much soo
lol they you got a bad teacher
of the 30peeps i learnd 90% of them is making mony and taking names
got the pmc accept goin where do i ask to becom a sherpa
@odd jay Having someone in raid with you doesn't make you automatically better. Developing your own talents and working on your weaknesses does.
Another PMC in raid with you is just 1 less enemy and possibly you relying on them to make progress.
Sherpa are more likely to help you work on your self then carry you through raids 1 on 1.
a sherpa shows you what heds how he dos it and wy he dos it so you can pick stuf from his playstyl that soot you
@bold kernel where in that discort i apply to becom a sherpa
If there are any more questions I'll be on sherpa hub continuing to stream.
when you becom a sherpa its al free to do when you want
We all work when available.
so i coud do it 1 day then 3 weeks not then 2 days...
Thats possible.
and how long dos a lesson take can you do like 1houre or 4...
