You are 100% bottle necking
So an additional 8GB Ram yeah?
Yes, are you on a laptop, that looks like a laptop processor
yeah I am on a laptop
can your laptop fit 8gb more ram?
Should be able to, I remember having a look a while ago
@spring light No carry handle bro
then how am i supposed to put the scope on
Fuck knows xd wiki doesn't show a carry handle for me 
me neither
oh there we go
[EU] someone who can teach me? I'm new.
is extracting from reserve doable from hermetic ? Feels like I’m gonna get extract camped
@upper iron Just ordered some more RAM. Cheers legend
Hermetic you need to wait for dogshit alarm to be destroying your ears before you can escape
@bold kernel SKS BP ammo, decent and cheap
SKS is from prapor
and BP ammo you got from the gift
idk how good a single fire weapon is on factory
probably not very
Factory 
[EU] someone who can teach me? I'm new.
gunsmith pt 4, still wont let me turn it in, added same parts as wiki
I know but if I go turn it on eveyione knows where I am and it’s usually a death sentence
Glock 18 is
Glock 17 is semi
Is anyone doing farming part 1?
Interchange is probably best if you don't have keys
I can’t really survive on interchange tho 😭
Idk there’s always lots of people it seems
Who should I give Chemical pt 4 to, skier, prapor, or therapist?
Does shoreline require keys to get good items ?
@vagrant cargo yes
Who should I give Chemical pt 4 to, skier, prapor, or therapist?
anyone ?
guess I just suck
yo what does that red caution sign in front of someone's name mean?
I've never seen it before
it’s the report button
oh lol
yep
anyone wanna go on a scav customs
are you EU or NA opz?
na
damn 😦
I need someone to lead me to jagers hideout plz
any one here to play with me im new in the game Level 6 EU
why cant i hand this in?
I already got customs down whats the next map i should learn?
Take off the sprut
and put on a blue laser from skier
@modest carbon one of the money maps, interchange or reserve
interchange has easy extracts and you dont need many keys to make a lot of money and reserve is easy to learn but needs keys and has hard extracts
Thank you
@normal wraith Is a mosin good for interchnage?
anything will do while you are learning it, make sure you do some offline runs with a map open, then do a few scav runs and finally do some pmc runs
it can be hard to aviod players and scavs on interchange so be ready to fight and make sure your ammo will pen level 4+ armour
Whre do i buy flashlights for pistols?
flea market or traders
Which trader
the klesh is my favourite but is only on the flea
what is the best map for a beginner
peacekeeper at level 2 or skier at some of the higher tiers
I learned Customs very fast
@elfin bison learn customs then one of the money maps
ok thx
howcome when ever i launch eft it doesn't bring up the launcher it just immediatly starts the game and then after a min of the loading screen to get onto the main menu it gives me a error?
it does not even show the profile data loading....
are you opening the game through the launcher or a shortcut?
that would be it lol im stupid ty
does anyone wanna teach me how to play?
anyone has a list of quests not needed for kappa i know its in the eft wiki just cant find it
What is gonna be my fastest way to get to level 10?
quests
Best map? i already know customs
factory/labs
no its not
yeah but i went in thjere 3times and got more then half a mil every time
its 130k its cheap
130k is one hose
yeah thats cheap
well u get like 300-400k in a raid
ihavent encountered pmcs yet on labs so ive gotten out every single time
well u can get a friend to go with u
oh dont go then
130k is plenty and the m9 pistol is a fine gun to start with...
peacekeeper
pm pistol from prapor should work for headshotting scavs too
offline mode is available for all maps.... you can learn them at your leisure
so?
it's a lot harder to learn while playing
it took 3 offline raids for me to learn woods.
but everyone has their own way of doing things i suppose
and unless you atleast know how to extract. tarkov isn't designed to hold your hand in raid currently... you go in blind... then hope you enjoy playing blind...
....
that is the whole game haha
knowing where to extract is knowing how to extract 😆
Welcome to tarkov. .
what you can afford
from what you said earlier... and your play style... I'd stick to pistols..
probably PM pistols from prapor
Imagine you'll either do fine or take a few days or rely on others...
Probably save the money you have and just take the pistol.
The server is kicking me out constantly and my internet is fine what is happening
I highly suggest you secure any meds until you find something with purple highlights
check maps online, play fast but cautious and just loot otw to extract
if u can find your bearings it helps a LOT. look for land marks
@vagrant arrow Networking between serves can be more then your own internet... without more info... I suggest you keep trying
unless there is any more questions. feel free to reflect in #beginners-chat
Keep them
how do I select which items i want to use for barter trade?
@flint mist i don't think merchant tab lets you pick still. with flea market a window deadicated to the required items lets you pick
hey, can anyone help me that has 306 west wing, I can't afford and really need to do the quest Thanks!
which armor should I be buying before flea market? I'm not snowballing cash rn or anything
500k but don't want to be spending 100k per run
if i throw insured things into the river where no one can loot it do i get it back?
@bold kernel paca
anyone free to teach the game?
@vivid sapphire Assuming no one manages to reach it yes. when it's time to return it should.
what is the best map to start on im having trouble learning maps, I usually never know where I am at
does anyone have a gunsmith part 4 guide? the one on the wiki isnt working
i even spent 750k to get the 260mm barrel and the troy m7a1 stock

Anyone want to do raids with me I’m new and having trouble surviving
Hey, everyone.. I just got into a gunfight and i killed someone, but they injured me.. I was bleeding and tried to use medkit, but the bleeding didn't stop, so I tried to use bandage and it didn't allow me because "I was already at full hp.."
how can I stop the bleeding?
are you on EU region?
you need a bandage or something that stops light bleeding if you have light bleed and you need like a tourniquet or something that stops heavy bleed for heavy bleed
No I’m American
I guess I had heavy bleeding, because it didn't allow me to use bandage...
thanks, i will look into it..
Ah, shame.. I'm also looking for someone to duo with..
Yes 😔
check #beginners-chat there is someone from US who wanna duo
anybody running the second part of delivery from the past want to run a 5 man so we can easily get this done
the red screen after you select the time for your raid, click the check box and set your options at the bottom
If anyone needs to do a quest on factory, i need 2 more people to go in with 5 and that means there will be no other pmc, so we can go in and then go our separate ways (or go together is somone prefers it that way)
If you go into a raid as a group of 4, do you get paired with groups of 4 or is it random who else joins?
If anyone needs to do a quest on factory, i need 2 more people to go in with 5 and that means there will be no other pmc, so we can go in and then go our separate ways (or go together is somone prefers it that way)
how should I deal with the beginning of raids on custom? it's really weird to me that it's normal to just immediately go duel your spawn neighbor. not to mention I'm losing kits to it cause newb gear and skills. do I hide, run away from closest spawn (into someone else potentially), go to the edge of the map or just deal with the immediate fight?
@bold kernel I take the nearest cover/position I'm best favoured by and wait for a push for a couple minutes... After waiting I carefully move forward to nearest loot of interest while keeping cover* handy until I more audio clues as to where my fellow spawns are... else just keep cover handy while on the move.
do you need workbench 3 for bitcoin farm
!wiki hideout
lvl 2 intel it looks like
aight thats what i thought but i wasnt 100% sure
I am about to get back to the game after about a year and a half. Played a few matches before the wipe, mite as well be new at this game. Most of what I remember isnt relevant. I could use a friend or group of people to hunt with. I have plenty of time, and I am looking to play.
Will do
Are there any other routes on gunsmith pt2 other then using pt lock?
Long as it fits his requirements... to many gun parts to know off the top of my head that kind of detail.
See mine says turn in and everything but when i do i get a error
restart the game? else report the bug through launcher if you can re-create it
"Bad recoil 600.93 instead of 600
how to change scope, im in game theres 2 scopes on the gun how do i change?
If you have workbench you should be able to preset the gun and experiement with parts/stats
plz help fast
im shitting my panties in game rn
alt right click
I think?
Alt right click
What's your custom bind for scope-change?
See ive never really messed with presets on weapons
Mouse 6 on the side... handy to switch at a button press while aiming
mouse 5 changes zoom/sight mode as well.
hey Im trying to upgrade my stash and it says I need 4 100ml bottles of wd-40, do I need to get that or can I just use 1 400 ml bottle
You need what it says I believe
where can I sell diaries?
anybody want to run bp depot with me
k
@solar sapphire Also upgrading your lavatory at some point offers cutting the big WD 40's into 2 smaller ones..
do you have to extract in order for your scav kills to count for the debut quest
no
@willow hare Unless the task is specfic to completion in one raid. Any progress by your PMC should count.
if i ensure something when do i get it back
roughly 24 hrs.
great thx
24-36 hours
do i have to have space in my stash?
You will be messaged it available
you will have a set amount of time to retrieve it from said message and put it in stash
Prapor is sending players care packages every day for the first week of the wipe
New patch rewards of some type.. \ /
has anyone able to finish gunsmith part 4 this patch 12.9?
So, probably try to sell my stash stuff and get it today?
and tomorrow there is another?
If your tight for space... money is a great space saver..
^
@shrewd oasis I've heard of people doing gunsmith part 6
but i made a scav run and already had to dump something
So when your level 10 sell stuff then... otherwise it's up to you how you manage it... can always raid for more loot
how late game until i will start getting different cases? is that a market or quest thing
Flea market will have cases available... so lvl 10
otherwise... mechanic offers ammo case lvl 1
thx you are doing the lords work in this chat
therapist lvl 2 has scav junk box
SHould have gotten an ammo case from christmas gift too
can you side peek (zoom and Q) whilst holding breath?
it just takes my whole body across the corner
I can hold a lead and hold breath I believe...
ive been matching for 17 minutes is somethind wrong
should be able to stabalize aim while pieing the corner I think
@bold kernel if raid matching is ever above 7 min cancel because its bugged
should i sell at different traders so i can lvl them up?
Which ever you need
havent played the game in a long time, is the mosin still a good budget loadout for beginning the wipe?
ahhh
mosin would be a bold choice to start... the bullet is the same...
when i used to play, my budget loadout would be a mosin and pocket ammo cuz it would one-shot damn near anyone lol
what are the good beginning guns now?
i remember a lot of people used to complain about the mosin so im not surprised they changed it
IS zb014 in the same place on woods
yes
Support chat is not very helpful lmao
is there any landmarks to look for
Will someone help me wit the Cold not find a path error when updating, support chat is just a bunch of people asking questions and getting no help so
They dont help lmao, it is just a bunch of people asking questions

does anybody have skier level 2 for the pt lock
best order to sell to dealers?
Therapist for barter items, mechanic for guns and weapon mods, Ragman for helmets, rigs, backpacks, etc.
appreciate it
is there a good way to spot Raiders/Bosses/Guard vs normal scavs? I seem to keep randomly dying to them where ill run by them initially with no conflict, but when they come by again or I pass again, they get pissed and destroy me.
If you know where the nose of the crashed plane is, his little wooden tower is within eyesight of it.
i don't know where the plane is, didn't know there was one lol
learn where they spawn and you'll know. They look much more geared than normal scav tho
yo if im trying to do debut and i kill a scav and die after killing it will the quest still be done?
yes
Anyone experiences post raid exp screen stuck?I’m a new player.
it happens alot unfortunately all u can do is wait it out
it should click over in 30-40 seconds
Hey, I have an RTX 2060, Ryzen 5 2600, game installed on SSD, and 16 GB RAM. All settings but texture quality are set to off/low.
Is it normal that my Tarkov runs at 45-60 FPS in Customs ? I cannot understand why my FPS are so low.
I killed a scav today and his name was Radzh SOBR with the last name all caps. I didn't get to loot him but is that some type of special scav?
no
@severe river there are youtube guides for this... all settings low isn't too good though.
more ram may help too
Yikes
can you complete quests as scavs like say i get the a shotgun for him on a scav run would it count?
yes
awesome thanks
Whats the best maps to run when starting out?

@vivid sapphire interchange
killa/interchange
so squad size is 5?
2-5
GUYS where are the electric motors
asking for a friend
@vivid sapphire i found mine in factory on some barrels near the middle of the map
if i remember correctly
What is the best way to get scav kills?
I literally never see scavs to kill and I need 25 scav kills
@hollow forge just figure out the scav spawns and check those areas
https://mapgenie.io/tarkov this map will show u where
just the shotguns
no
@real jetty you can do fetch quests as a scav, but not objective ones
Do scavs spawn right at the beginning of a raid as well as the random times? Asking because I have ran customs over 10 times and literally only come across scavs when I'm on a scav run and spawn in mid-raid. Been trying to do the prapor mission to kill scavs on customs and I'm not even coming across dead scavs let alone live ones lol.
Can someone help me sort out my inventory? Just started yesterday but it's full.
I don't know what to sell or what to keep.
how do you claim the new years gift?
Hi @polar current I did it through the website when you login.
ty
anyone done hunting trip on jaeger this wipe? i can’t hand over the guns
I been trying to login on the website for a few days now, it asks me for a confirmation code but the code never shows up in my email. I made sure I have all battlestate emails whitelisted
where should i go for a mp-133 again?
Why did I get items as if I had the second edition of them game when I only have standard edition, not complaining just confused
ive got a issue, im doing search mission and i hit both the convoy and the temp camp, in raid it only showed i got the convoy and i assumed it was glitched, i go out and it shows i havent gotten either of them
scavs
did you die?
no I extracted
also, there's 2 places that look like a camp, you might have been at the wrong one
there's one with like a truck and another vehicle, that's the convoy
then there's a camp between the convoy and teh other camp you need to go to
no i knew where the convoy was, the usec camp was glitched though
i went up to it and it never said i got it i even checked in tasks
dont walk around it enough maybe
thats so dumb, i have to go back and do it again?
yup
Where do I buy sks mags?
you dont til you get 20 rounders
you just top load it
need to get flea or level up dealers
How do I top load it?
hit reload
pull the mag out the gun when your out of raid
then load it that way and drag it back onto the gun
I bought it from prapor, Im tryna load it in stash
dang all the channels for beginners are filled up smh
or can you not do that?
you need to have an opsks i believe to use mags
bruhh
if it's the dark brown one you cant.. but dont quote me
dude im level 18 ive been stuck on this quest since level 5 the new woods expansion is so annoying
i think i may be wrong about that one... not 100% though
How is a digital content e.g. EOD edition limited?
at some point you wont be able to buy it anymore, its advantageous because of obviously the gamma container and the increased stash, but also you get EVERY dlc released in the future, so you get a ton of free content, like new maps, new clothes, etc, they have a lot of plans for DLCs in the future
so gamma is only for EA playerrs?
yes ^
how do you level jaeger again? defibs?
yea thats it he buys it for only 6k less than flea price
I dont have mags for it
SKS, mosin, you can run shitty SMGs and shottys from scavs too
you dont need a mag for it....
it comes with a built in mag...
you dont need to bring mags, its kinda like how in some games you just keep ammo for snipers in your pockets and load that
you load bullets one at a time
you dont need a physical mag since its built in and you just load individual bullets
Erm, Am I buying the wrong sks? I cant load it in stash
tag the mag out first
Can I get customs map rq?
is fuel conditioner used for anything, or should i just vender it to the rapist
Which dealer should I sell scav guns to to make the most out of it?
mechanic
you have to level all dealers
can anyone help me out with oli logistics key? 500k is kinda out of my budget 🥺 👉 👈
not asking to buy it off anyone or anything, just anyone who's willing to run with me and unlock it for me
looking for someone to run me around and show me the basics and stuff
why do i have to open computer blocks twice
they be glitched
any of this i can sell?
can someone drop me the plastic pistol grip for mp-133 and the remington tactical choke?
can someone help me? one of jagers quests is glitched af
what quest
jaeger "hunting trip
I have the m700 built that meets all of his requirements and he will not accept it
it does not have mag atm
ye i have 3 built, but quest shows up as two
can someone drop me the plastic pistol grip for mp-133 and the remington tactical choke. I just need it for the gunsmith quest but im only level 9
should i sell this to rag man or keep till im lvl 10???
is anything worth selling?
Do I just buy EoD for stash or what the fuck am i supposed to do, everything seems worth to keep
Sell everything except the shattered facemask
can someone help me get tasks done? i need to kill scavs on customs
@naive atlas sell everything???
ye it has fucking 40% rico chance and i shot someone today who had shitty helmet and the .338 just pinged right off lol
I dont have flea market yet
who should i sell ammo to?
@earnest maple who ever pays the most.
i meant who does pay the most.
mechanic usually pays the most until flea market
kk ty
@agile raft If your tight for space. sell it all. only horders worry about keeping quest items...
Anyone wanna run customs first wipe
tasks/hideout are just long term goal / money investments.
are these worth to keep i wont be using them any time soon or should i just sell them
@earnest maple ^
sv98 is needed for a quest
that quest is way down the line, can buy it to do the quest
is it expensive to rebuy?
didnt know that existed cheers
np, wiki has almost all the info you'll ever need
ifu have it why buy lmao
run maps in offline modes to get the hang of the map
33k roubles and it takes 5 slots of your inventory doesn't bother you? it literally 6000 roubles per slot
always calculate valuables in price/slot
So a friend recommended me to stick to one ammo type for example 5.45 instead of having different ammo for loads of guns? is that a good recommendation
nope, that restricts you to 1 type of rifle
thank you, was about to sell my other ammos thank god i asked here first
anyone willing to help me out to reach the jaeger camp safely?
if he has a eod it doesnt matter really
yeah sure, just like brian guy above huh
and that quest isnt " way down the line " it can be unlocked as soon as u hit 10
and got flea market
nice!
can sell it now for like 15k and never worry about it again
srsly dude, think about it. You sell it now, you lost 15k roubles
you save it now, you will lose 5 slots of your inventory for quite a while, while saving 15k, literally just freaking 1 screw nuts
what is fuel for
worth it? absolutely not
whatever u say @wind gulch
oh thank god i didnt sell im running out of space in my stash
how do I powerlevel money spent with skier?
Either buy or sell at him. both up your spendings
Also some high tier items give it a huge boost
Coming from Warframe, League, and many other single player games, what sort of similar milestones for progress and self direction am I looking for? How do I know what group and thing I want to focus attention to?
i usually get mine at factory @frank fiber
thank you
would recommend going with someone just incase @frank fiber
@outer hare Would say your merchant levels and hideout.... rank up merchants for new options... hideout for new crafts and eventually profitable outputs...
Hello There, may i ask you for help/info why i can not craft this item ? i have all parts for it :
merchants will usually be cheapest access to equipment in comparison to flea bar a few exceptions/changes in market...
@sage scaffold something else building/built?
Is there a method in game atm to know where items needed spawn? IE where to find the materials to upgrade the lights in your hideout?
judgement and loot maps...
tools eletronics found in tool boxes and workshop table n shelves
medical in med stations n bags
@bold kernel yep i am dumb.. i nned to take other satff and then can craft this thx 😄
Perfect, makes a lot of sense thank you
Last thing, the gun customization system felt very overwhelming to me, is there somewhere I can read up on the system and how it interacts with itself? Is it well documented on, the wiki for example? Or is there a better source to look for this information?
build work bench in hideout.
right click a gun and hit edit preset
includes a stat window and usually all possible parts...
may be some part unlock stages...
Got it, trying to explore things too early. Thanks a lot for your patience
we all start somewhere
holy fuck lmao
i just ran into a team of 2 that got collapsed on by a team of 3
or a team of 5 got confused and started shooting eachother
but damn that felt unlucky solo xD
Do scav runs level you up? im assuming not
no
can we get the wiki bot in our own discord server so i dont spam the chat with !wiki 's
Why not just go to the wiki and search what you want :D
Because you can have Discord overlay in Tarkov
So you don't need to leave the game / tab out 😉
any updated fir list? 🙂
twitch drop is up bois
I'd recommend Pestily for newbies
he's just the best at progressing
anyone wanna help me and my friend deliver the package to factory
?
we need 2 more ppl
Did they reset the presets?
I thought they said you'll keep them after each wipe?
I don't have any saved
Yeah apparently a bug that only happened to some of us. I hate having to redo the stupid gunsmith guns
I had to use the stupid gk 2 muzzle with cylinder adapter
the muzzle from barter didnt work
why do people wiggle at me and be friendly when I am player scav? It's happened a few times. one time they even gestured for me to move up an area with them (staircase)
I am tempted to just shoot them in the back but I don't know what the goal is when they do that or if there is one
Taht's the unwritten rule to not shoot at each other when you wiggle.
You just want some loot as player scav.
do i have to get the shotguns after i kill the scavs or does it matter that i got them before
You can get them from anywhere. You don't have to kill them.
I get the rule but I'm not sure why people only do that when I scav
My guess is, since you both don't have any big loot as the scav you just let them be on their way.
okay i have the shotguns how do i turn them in
So two poor souls have some loot to get and not loot the other scav who wont have anything big.
@candid parcel go to the Trader and look at the top "Tasks"
There you can turn it in.
oh i see you cant do it from the inventory
Imagine point blank busting someone in the face with buckshot for 99 damage and not 1 tapping them w/ no armor XD nice
I put 4 buckshot rounds into someone last night and they just ate them... but i get 1 tapped with a pistol ;-;

Hello, just got this game today, anybody wants to play with a total Potatoe?
bitcoin to therapist right?
yeah
how do i get help guys, this is my second wipe but i joined the last wipe and was crap
Hello, just got the game and i am lost on how to extract there is no map?
@cosmic mirage The maps you want are all external. Ingame maps are worthless. https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Escape_from_Tarkov_Wiki has maps and task guides
https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs is also a great map. You have to do a bit getting the filters right for what you are doing but it is nice
this one is by far the one I recommend
it's the only one with detail, the mapgenie ones
what are some good budget guns i can preset?
10 months ago i used to rock some type of vepr, is it still good?
which vepr?
i dont remember, that shit was 10 months ago
Hunter is still good. Can't one tap chest with M80 anymore which is too bad
can you send a preset of a hunter setup? those ironsights are oof
All my presets got deleted 😦
ak-74(M) with Zenit PT-1 stock and RK-0 grip, ez budget lyfe
vepr hunter preset = put a side mounted optic on it
imo the entire value of the vepr is in shooting the biggest bullet for the cheapest cost, so it's not worth getting fancy
does this map show you where you are or no?
thanks brother
it's in google chrome, but it becomes easy to figure out ur location. basically just look at your extracts when you spawn and you're on the opposite side to there.
okay and do i want to start on customs? or is there one better
customs has your noob quests
I wouldn't keep running it forever though, it's not huge loot unless you're going for da big loots
How frequent are wipes in this game?
getting progressively longer, next wont be for probably 6-9 months
Oh ok, thx
Got this game maybe an hour ago so far I've been doing random maps looting and getting shot at am I doing it right or is there specific stuff I
should be doing
hi am new to the game i dont know what to do only things i know to to do is quest can someone pls help me
hi am new to the game i dont know what to do only things i know to to do is quest can someone pls help me
!sherpa
damn.
The beginner info section has a link to the sherpa hub. If you aren't getting any bites here for help try there. Submit a ticket and one will help you. They are probably busy as all hell now grinding for themselves and getting way more requests than normal though
erm, idk where you found it
But all you want on a cheep modded ak is muzzle brake, the PT lock stock, and the cheapest 3% recoil reduction grip
half this stuff comes on the stock AKs, don't buy stuff like default muzzle brake or gas tube
The preset often gives crazy prices because it tries to buy every piece individually not just the base gun from a trader.
exactly
problem is i cant just buy the akm from prapor
ak-74 is the same concept
which one?
That AKM looks like a barter trade
yeah it is
do you have flea?
yes
ok then, nice
so find the gun you want on flea, and at the top filter by functional items and no barter trades
so buy the cheapest one
with all parts
like, ignore ones that are obviously fucked up
alright done i think
Where am i able to find people that can help guide me in the beginning of my experience im level 4 and all ive been running is factory for the size
I want to stsrt customs and interchange and all that but it's intimidating to say the least
can some pls help me on this game
@bold kernel if neither of us finda somebody we can try it together bro
thanks
slap on a SRVV 7.62x39 AK muzzle brake & compensator, Zenit PT-1 or PT-3 stock (Whichever is affordable), put on an RK-0 grip on the cheapest mount you can get for it, and done
you guys NA?
NA? Sorry
North America
I can run a few.
Hell yeah let's do it
in 3 man 13
y'all gonna die
Say again? I get the 3 man what's the 13
Sorry if i ask some dumbass questions this is all foreign to me
if you scroll way down the left side there are voice rooms.
Oh understood
no
if you suck, someone would carry you and if they let you play alone you'd just lose it all and waste their time for nothing
try to learn, using offline and your scav
Just put 8 bullets about 2 metres away into a dude was doing the damage animation and then he jus walked up to me as I was shooting them and calmly shot me in the head..
don't get emotional over me telling you the truth
@serene adder but bro u hurt my feeelings fam
If you suck - learn the game, improve
I had survival rate around 6% too few days ago, now it got to 23%, still not good but improvement
i agree
how do twitch drops work?
!drops
To enable drops you need to link your twitch account at https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile. Watch the streams with Drops enabled!
You will get a notification on Twitch if you receive a drop and you will get the drop as a mail from Prapor in game.
The drops loot pool is pre-determined and you have a random chance to receive items within the pool.
You may receive multiple drops during the stream, depending on how long you watch for.
well does it not work on your phone or something cause i was watching Pestily all night last night with drops enabled on my phone and i got nothing.
for Delivery from the Past can you runthrough on Factory part and still complete it?
I believe so yes
for Farming Part 1, can it be done across 2 raids or does it need to be both at once?
when looking for group why is there people with a yellow crown what does that mean?
they got scammed by the devs LUL
any amount of raids
go naked, put it in your ass, then just die or escape once you've done one of them
people who bought EoD version of the game
can someone help me kill scavs on woods please ? ive played 2 days straight of woods to kill 5 scavs
If you run out if time in a raid but sill alive do you get to keep the loot ?
no lol
imagine all the people would just camp till the timer was over if that was a thing
u need to kill them yourself, no one can help you with that
party member kills don't count towards your personal progress
^I don't know why people ask for help killing scavs
is there some sort of shock level or something in this game? I was opening filing cabinets in factory, guy comes in and i am already right on him and firing... he starts firing back full auto with PS and I didn't die straight away was just sitting there copping it while clicking away at my mouse with nothing happening... and I know I had a full mag...... very frustrating
shock level as in, that would stop me firing back
PS has garbage penetration
i only had a paca on, and i was copping the PS
but my guy decided to stop shooting
back it seemed
what gun were you using
bt bullets yeah?
adar, so maybe i actually died between clicks but the slow client side render just made it look like i stopped firing
it certainly told me i'd leveled up stress resistance after he fell on the ground dead... lol
as a beginner, should i just do quests in order of difficulty? I dont really feel like i progress at the game because im just hiding and sneaking
and shaking in fear
@barren sapphire dont hide and shake in fear just balls to the wall
They're long term goals. Can actually do a fair bit just surviving raids.
@barren sapphire your fear will make it the game much harder
me neither
being in a team makes it harder
cause you encourage each other to do dumb overconfident shit instead of the boring reliable scav hunt
^
not to mention if you hunt scavs as a duo, your teammate is basically sitting there just playing babysitter on your ass, which is boring and zero profit for them
hey if an extract is marked as ???? does that mean it will always become available eventually, or maybe not ?\
it means it might be available
you don't know
but if one is green for no reason and you've not been there, it should mean it's active
but is that time dependant in raid or just yes or no type thing
e.g. it opens at 34 mins
Any tips to a brandnew player who is constantly dying
different exfils have different requirements
use a map (not in game ones) and try to avoid where people go
Do you always hold breath when you ADS and shoot?
I have yet to even kill a scav is that sad or what
how do i stop dying as a new player?
Apparently we have to hide and run from people and hope to not die is what im told
rip ok
Ikr its painful
tbh sounds like shit advice, download aimlabs
practice aiming
now when you go in actually practice shooting
avoiding gunfire will never make you better at gunfire
There is more to it than aiming, you have to learn maps ammo types ect.
you can run in with full best gear and still die 100 times over
you're just new
not exactly, but the more people you encounter the more likely you are to lose a fight
learning ammo types is not really the most important part
You have to balance how good you are in combat vs how much gear you are risking
can someone explain to me how scav spawns work? i need to kill 5 scavs at customs (first quest) but i feel like i always get there too late when someone else already killed them
just keep going in and learn what works and hwat doesnt
So i have been doing quests and i am struggling still to get level 10 whats the best map to level up on?
they can spawn on the locations marked on the map, they respawn throughout raid
they respawn?
yes
oh no
can i just camp the respawn points, or do thes specifically NOT spawn where players are?
they don't respawn like that
So i have been doing quests and i am struggling still to get level 10 whats the best map to level up on?
map doesn't matter, just anything apart from factory
headshotting scavs and living is the easiest xp honestly
level?
not even lvl 2 lol i started yesterday
you got a mic?
yeah
dm me
k
Started 2 days ago and cant kill 1 scav kill on customs fml
same
wanna do a 3 man
me and a friend both LVL 10 need a sherpa. anyone wanna help us?
scavs don't really do much, if you look up on mapgenie where they spawn, it's quite chill
try running around as a scav, they wont' shoot you
just to get used to where they spawn
I have a map loaded up to show me where spawns and shit are but litterally the only scavs i have ever even seen have been in dorm
I play as a scav and i just die most of the time before even seeing another scav
why do some scavs eat my bullets and then 1 shot in head but other times not?
there are sniper scavs on some of the buildings i drew arrows to, those are free kills
your ammo may be bad, your aim may be bad, they may have armor
I hate that area so many players just not a good time
if i do manage to kill them, they have soft body armor on, does soft armor do that much?
if ur using shit ammo then yes
scav armor is mostly a meme against ok ammo
but in any case, most scavs don't have armor
and you can headshot them or wear it down anyway
is customs really the easiest map to play as a noob seem to be dying alot
customs isn't the easiest imo, but it's a good starter map
was about to say, yeah
not the easiest but it's one you should learn to play first
So what is the easiest for noobs, as customs is just death for me
bout to go into another game hopefully i make it out alive
ngl customs can be kind of a molestation centre at times
but it forces you to learn the rat ways and puts you close up to scavs
customs, but use mapgenie and follow the stashes along that blue line i drew on that map screenshot
Any other area as that is where I usually die?
experiment and discover maps
oh come the fuck on, my game disconnected mid fight
I might be missing something, but why does zeroing only go to like 300
Like for scopes that at sighted for 600 or 1000
What if everyone says to learn customs but its secretly a trap for noobs lol
everyone says to learn customs because that's where all of the first questsa re
anyone willing to help me get the watch or find the water in customs?
Well it just has a lot of landmarks too, like i wouldnt send a noob to woods or shoreline because its so big or confusing. I wouldnt send to reserve because pmc extracts are hard, i wouldnt send to factory because its a lot of quick action right off the bat, and interchange isnt that bad, but again, you could get lost in the mall
i died
good point
we know
😦
i get disonnects every single game. Germany, good connection otherwise. Any ideas?
Is your ping steady throughout the game?
are you downloading anything
yeah
no
im playing on the best wired connection you can pretty much buy in germany exceft for maybe google fiber
so idk what the hell to do
choose different server?
i just extracted from scav with dr lupos coffe and game crashed
lets go
im so fing happy
aww, awesome 🙂 I'm super happy for you
game is a beta
but i lost 200k of loot
sorry
did you crash in the extract zone
nope
oh well, tough luck
spain without S
Gotta love spawning in customs right next to someone with an automatic and just shoots you down before you can even blink
Do you have to do loyalty buyout for skier if you want to get kappa?
oh ok thank you
Am I right in thinking that kappa is meant to be the twitch emote?
Or just a coincidence
coincidence
i feel like i can never really hear other players because i hear my own character so loud
it's not coincidence
there are lots of memes in the game
Pepehands
I need someone to show me the way
me too
show each other? 😛
@frosty compass how do i get compass?
Use the sun as a compass lol that's what I do
you eventually unlock it to buy, but it's shit and unusable
just learn the maps, sounds douchey advice but it's true
Was it you yesterday near the river? : d
I was right next to the river yeah
How do i know if i got a drop
how can i get skier lvl2?
@young sandal did you find them using a pistol?
No, I shot 2 scav players just spawning in, in front of me :d
Big oof
I was a scav myself
Then you didn't kill me
prapor gives it you like insurance
do his quests and spend money and level up
im bout to go in again, wish me luck
I'm not a huge fan of spawns tbh mainly in the ship yard and near storage
how many minutes does customs have/at what time can i leave without the early leaver penalty?
There's this dude on the pestily chat going like "Instead of complaining why not check if you really are linked the accounts." Its like IT-service guy telling you if you've plugged the device to the wall socket or "have you turned the device on and off?"
10 mins
45, and on any map after 10 mins from raid start time you're good
tarkov fans are cancer on the whole
ty, just survived my first raid this wipe 🙂
gz Kervo
killed a lvl 3 player and a scav
Damn better then my first games I have yet to kill anything
But yeah about the loot drop, 3-4h intervals seems like a bogus..
dank
i finally got a drop, an ak-74... NOT WORTH lol
hey yall
So the drops arent at the same time for everyone I assume
i don't think they ever are
There was this dude who's been on the stream for nearly 9 hours without any drops
Quick question: I skipped last wipe and know they changed how long/how much xp you need to gain to make sure your items keep their FIR status. Does anyone know what the xp amount is that you need to gain to achieve FIR status? Or is there a time limit?
600 or 10 mins from start time
afaik
Thanks
Do you get an pop-up or what on the tweitch when you got one, or does it show up in your drops menu in twitch?
I haven't gotten any pop ups Dan, but I do have messages from Prapor
Do I need to be online in game to get it
mkay
Best map of factory anyone?
i died
servers bugging out for anyone else? I get RTT low, around 70 but PlayerRTT is fluctuating out to 3000+ !! which is causing crazy lag
internet connection seems fine, no loss or drops
i disconnected a few times even with normal internet/ping etc. But that seems to be normal for this game...
are you guys eu
2 ms to local server (for speedtest) 70 mbsp down 80 up... so I think i'm fine on my end...
yep eu
top right
im trying to re download my game but my download speed is capped at 2mb/s
any fix?
in the launcher there is like a cap you can mess with
does the generator in hideout still run even when im offline?
did y'all know that emilya rye croutons were the rarest item in the game?
you wouldnt expect it because they're fucking croutons but yeah cant find em anywhere
is there a way i can put a sight/scope on a AK74M with lvl 1 traders?
should be a side mounted thing?
if it's on
cobra from prapor?
ah that worked thank you, i thought i needed an adapter or something
can someone play with me i suck at the game and im eu
should i keep intelligence, got 3 atm
if you look on the wiki you can decide if you want to keep it for what it's used for
if not, no
let quests guide you but also do whatever the fuck you feel lik
e
Anyone fancy giving me a hand with some quests?
can i buy or trade the shotguns for the first prapor quest? cause i cant find any
I wish you people would just SAY THE NAME OF THE QUESTS lol
Debut
ANY QUEST THAT I HAVE.
hey guys, i just got my first marked key, and idk if i should sell it for like 700k or if i should use it
what do you suggest ?
we don't know which ones you have...
jesus lol
I'd sell it tbh
it's just no lifers inflating the price
Quest "Debut" can i buy/trade the shotguns somewhere?
hey im lookin for someone to play with, rn im lvl 6
if it doesn't say FIR, yes
you can just buy them
New to game if any one else would like to play and learn with me. Hit me up!
how can i see where to excavate?
i killed few people got all the loot but my time run out
ty
the twitch drops not working for anyone else?
do you need to click claim or something?
link your twitch account to your BSG account, then watch a stream
and sometimes youll get ingame mail
with stuff atached
so you can just minimize the page?
can i put some type of scope (trader lvl1) on the SA-58 ?
@short star looking at the majority of people in this discord. I'd say its not needed.
any quick tips ot avoid getting rolled in under 5 minutes every....single....time....
consider where others can spawn, if you mean PMC, kind of a check list, "I'm going that way, there's 1 PMC spawn on the way, could meet someone from that spawn" etc, kinda tough to explain without pictures but i dont wanna spam bad paint pictures here 😄
yeah on the maps I've played it is normal for people to beeline other spawn points immediately to kill
which is terrible for new players who don't even know where they've spawned
What tf happened?
but it's REALISTIC lol
fragmentation
maybe bullet shattered? pretty sure thadts possible
yeah i still spend a few seconds trying to figure out where tf i've spawned, map up on the other screen
Anyone experienced willing to due with me, im new but not terrible at the game
