Is there an updated map of Woods showing the minefields? Can't navigate around that map without getting lost.
but it's in the corner, soo it's obviously going to be either north or west
Thx sound. I figured. I once got to the road block outside of old gas station and thought I reached the edge of the map, but I heard people in old gas station before I knew how to get there. That threw my map awareness off so bad
You can jump up from old gas station to the east section? Risky I'll check out warehouse 4
And/or approach from the north
I can use factory exit but I feel like I'll choke
you can cut through old gas and hit the med building from the south as well
I'm at factory shacks with my 12g lol, waiting for players to cool down
Forgot to bring 762 lol
I need to get from factory shacks to either power switch or zb1011
@rugged marsh lemme know if you wanna run together
If someone else flicks on power switch, can I use zb1013
true
Ok bet
bruh, factory exit is ez
nobody will lel
I'm on the west side behind the wall of warehouse 4. I tried going north but there's a scav with a sks or some shit
So I'm tryna figure out how to go over the wall to w4 side without dying
And theres this blue laser shining still right by me lol
buy windows u bish
lfg to do custom quest as i am lvl 1
@near badge which region?
LFG that can show me where to go and look for new to the game πΊπΈ ποΈ
Where would you guys start? I'm not going to lie, I bought the game yesterday and only played for 10-15 minutes. Is there a kind of "campaign mode"? People seem to be talking a lot about levels and quests. I know that there is public and offline modes. Public is a team of players vs a team of players. Is offline a kind of "practice mode" or really a whole kind of gameplay by itself? π€ Sorry for the stupid questions guys, kinda new here, duh.
is there a chart that shows good weapons / ammo? played the game 1 year ago and had one but i cant find it anymore
@remote hill offline is for yourself without any risk. You don't lose any stuff you bring in. Same maps, same enemies (if activated, but not other players)

@remote hill Everytime Scav is up, play with it.
You don't lose anything but the random scav loadout.
Learn maps via offline or scav runs.
Alright so in online, you chose the stuff that you start with and it's really your inventory for all games?
No. When you play as PMC, you decide what to take in. If you die, you lost it "forever" (you can insure stuff, and if no one picked it up, you can get it back).
there's no in game voice
Yeah but I mean through Discord or sum
Scav is basically taking over an AI scav with their random loot, for zero cost, and you get to keep all their loot if you make it out. but you can't do quests or gain xp, it's solely for loot and practice
I've seen a lot of people asking for players to play with on gen chat
don't sweat dying on scav, treat it as a free roll and don't take it too seriously
If you see a team, they most likely use Discord or TS.
beginner general or eft general?
Huh eft
And also, you talked about quests and XP. I'm guessing that is only in a public game?
this server's general chat is a cancerous sewer swamp
Lmfao
EFT is an online multiplayer game, offline is just for practice and has zero significance in terms of actual progression
Only when you play with your PMC you level him up.
it's as if it never happened, you can take in what you want offline but you gain nothing other than knowledge
If you play as Scav, you only train his skills, like Endurance and stuff. But this doesnt really matter.
scav XP is meaningless
When you play as PMC, you level up and train your skills on your PMC.
And in EFT, levels gives you rewards and stuff?
well, kinda. you get more quests, better reputation on traders (more stuff to buy)
You don't get immediate rewards when leveling up.
Oh okay, that's cool asf
Be ready to lose stuff and don't sulk over it.
Once you get out with some nice stuff, that tops it x10.
So, again, sorry for the dumb question: I'm guessing that EFT is kinda a team vs team? You decide which team you go with? And if I understood correctly: Scav in EFT is kinda a "free pass" and the other team (forgot the name) is kinda your "real" progression?
@fair willow Yeah lol I bought the game yesterday and only played 15 mins, I feel you.
You vs all the others, maybe they grouped up, but maybe not.
Which faction you take BEAR or USEC, doesn't matter that much. Just some starting items, voice lines, etc.
It's you versus other PMCs versus Scavs.
So it's a kind of everyone vs everyone?
Kinda.
Kind of like PUBG π€·π»ββοΈ
Scav is your free roll to get some nice stuff. PMC is your "real" character.
Alright so you just kill whoever the fuck you see? π
I mean from a looting perspective, yeah, and fighting. But still, you have to get out.
Kinda. As a scav, maybe dont kill scavs, they wont shoot at you, if you didnt shoot first.
This game feels like contract wars
Yeah so I'm guessing you try to not shoot when it's not necessary lol
In woods, north of UN exit, the map is a replica of cabins map in contract wars
that is intentional
Rxxt if you look at an AI scav too long he will shoot you
So just look away often and don't aim directly at them for too long
So basically if you play USEC you could kill anyone and if you play Scav you try to just kill USECs?
Oh nice, good to know π
As a scav, you're gonna come across player scavs and AI scavs
Player scavs will probably kill you right away
Or atleast try
Okayyy that's also good to know
imma try playing tonight, I guess I'll shoot everyone on sight
jkjk
It's hard to tell if it's a player or AI scav. Mostly his movement or a 2nd weapon on his back.
yeah, had the game for awhile but barely played and little idea of what to do, run into player scavs and they killed me on sight lmao
This game is all about research, building map knowledge, and game mechanics
So it's kind of a free for all but with some dumb AIs in the middle of it
If you wiggle to a player scav and he wiggles back (spam Q, E) it means you dont kill each other.
tried the wiggle got domed
Yeah I haven't played a lot of Arma 3 but seen some peep play and I'm getting some Arma 3 vibes from EFT lol
lmfao you just spam both Q & E at the same time? @copper shale
That's the kind of reason I would have liked a tutorial. Lots of controls
The scav sometimes wiggles at you by itself if you look at it
I thought it was a player scav communicating to me nonverbally lol
Lmfao
But I looked at him too long and he shot, so look away or else the AI will think you will betray him =)
Those AIs are kinda dumb
In the land of tarkov, even buddies you queue up with can turn on you and take all your gear
not at the same time, but with some pauses inbetween one of each other.
The AIs are decent
It's good headshot practice
The most xp in the game is by : questing, looting, killing.
If you can do those fast, you get xp fastm
Looting is tbh the most complicated thing for me. Ever only played like CSGO and PUBG. PUBG's looting is kinda simple ASF
If you kill a body, just by pressing F on it you get 100 xp for looting
Doesn't F just use the weird fake vocal shit? @rugged marsh
This game is complex, after 20 hours you'll get the hang of it. Watch youtube videos if you're on a big map and it's too hot to move around
That's V or f1
Isn't V for switching to knife tho? ππ€
V is knife, Y is voice.
Ahhh okay thanks
Y looks like V, nuff said
Or Z on QWERTY keyboard
Hit y twice it brings up the talking menu
Since I'm a newb, at the start of the match I just sit in a corner and fear losing my gear
Ah yeah I'm on QWERTY lol
hitting f1 is gonna be a mumble
America π¨π¦
You have to get used to it
MURICA
Rxxt also, since you're new, you get a pass to camp inside gate 3 extract in factory map and kill unsuspecting cocky players
Justin Trudeau for the win
ππ frl he dumb
@rugged marsh ngl no fucking idea where that is
you can't do that, owning that is illegal
π
It will probably be your first nightmare on the game.
what the feds dont know cant hurt em
Typically people don't camp inside, but they might chase u in
Rn I'm on customs and I've been sitting in a crate for 13 minutes
I dun wanna die
Tbh I started an offline game yesterday, set the time to random (worst fucking idea EVER) and was lost in a hangar π it was dark as fuck
Can someone help me with my tasks?
Fuck it. Kills and looting get xp, not sitting and waiting
@rugged marsh getting bored of being a rat i see
And I was in Offline with high amount of AIs π I was in the hangar and just heard fucking AIs shoot everywhere outside
I once had a scoped sniper on my scav as I spawned in, a dude with nvgs rekt me in 10 seconds. Didn't realize that match was 3 AM
yee
Cuz tbh it was dark AS FUCK. I was really not expecting an FPS to have that much dark at night
Best tip is not play at night idk but I'm just a noob who started yesterday
rxxt i got you hold on
OK BOYS time to conquer my fears and leave this crate I've been sitting in for 15 minutes on customs map
Actually NVM I'm gonna extract and go camp inside gate 3
Xd
Idk man 130k per run plus they do all the looting for me xd
Tonight I'll try EFT lol
If it's this way then sure why not
maybe as Scav so I don't already lose all my shit
But I've legit waited inside gate 3 for 15 minutes before someone came and and I killed them
It gets boring over time, speaking from experience
It is
I need help with the bronze pocket watch tasks dm me if you could help
What are the kinda tasks wtf?
@bold kernel i got you
A guy was talking about feeding god knows what earlier on eft gen chat
Go to point A and take Item from there and hand it to a trader
And the items are hidden or it's an AI/player that has it and you gotta loot him? @bold kernel
Some quests can have the same item but can be handed to multiple traders with different results
i mean its a good way to get loot but there are better ways like looting stashes and going to buildings where loot spawns, extract camping is kinda cucky tbh
Hidden items in specific areas
Okay nice
Some quests you need to kill players or AI with specific gear
And where do you get quests? On a regular EFT game?
Or the way to kill, weapon category
hi me and my friend just started playing is anyone available to teach us basics
keep dying and wasting money
Yes, quests are available to everyone
Some items you need to find in a raid and hand it to Traders
You can find them as a scav and hand them over after you move the loot to ur stash
Okay nice
can someone take me to go the woods jager quest??
Which map is that?
bruh, bigger screenie pls
Ah those in-game maps are outdated and wrong.
just landed here, looking for the plane
woods mapgenie is no good atm, the wiki has current maps although they're less detailed
...where is your gun, sir
Just ignore James π
@hoary yacht want me to guide you?
look at the stun, am i near the plane? xD
hard to tell from pics
yes pls lol
accept my friend req
jokes/toxic people aside, you should always take at least a PM, melee runs are just very bad in many, many ways
this guy just ran from me
your pics are very difficult to interpret
can you find something more landmarky next to you?
@hoary yacht
anyone want to accompany me on customs to the big red? Delivery From the Past quest
anyone trying to carry me to level 10
can some 1 help me out with a quest
if you just post the quest in your first message it's simpler π
im gonna be in 3 man 22 cuz i dont wanna go in raid cuz theres no space in my stash , if someone wants to help me sort my stash then join the call , if u can help id appreciate it
post a screenie and we can yell at you
about what to sell
i cant screenshot
win shift s?
and plus its like the whole stash in general
yep, it always is
...that's why I can tell you what to sell if you can post an image
π
Hit Printscreen, then come here and hit Control + V. If it doesnt paste a screenshot, there should be one in "\Documents\Escape from Tarkov\Screenshots"
And if you'd like to just snip a small portion of the screen you can use "Windows Key + Shift + S" and then paste that lil snip. π
can anyone guide me on woods rq? I'll screen share in call
the quest is to find the two weapons and then kill 5 scavs
jokes/toxic people aside

keep getting killed pretty much instantly
anyone around to show me and a friend the ropes? both 18+, got mics
anyone able to run me thru reserve, i have boith marked room keys but not sure on the layout, expect where the Mrooms are?
BP a good sks round?
yes
ok great
BP is the best 7.62x39 round
Is it possible to build guns for cheaper and at only lvl 7? I dont mean build a high teir weapon, just something like an ak74u or AKM, mp-133, ect? As opposed to just buying it outright?
And how do I get the ring mount on the sniper?
buy/find one
you have flea or jeager?
Yeah I have flea
hey any experienced players around to show me and a friend the ropes?
its sweaty out there on customs the past few days. just trying to get some tasks done and continue to get throttled.
first gpu in my carrer on customs lol
do i sell it i dont have flea market unlocked yet
What's customs? Sorry for dumb question lol
a map
@remote hill locked maps not including "labs" are currently not in the game, the next map added is theorized to be streets of tarkov
Oh yeah I think I saw the vid for that new map on the website
is it better to break down a weapon and sell the parts or sell the weapon whole?
can i ask something about my stash, it's 100% full and i don't know what to sell
lol
fuck my lyfe
Oh my...lol
TY Cin
i know ill need bolts and nuts
When you start a game in EFT, you choose your stuff from the whole stash or you start your game with the whole stash?
Ok, keep the Gas analyzer, any bolts/nuts, t-plugs,
I also got a bronze Lion from a drop, being only lv 4, should I hold onto it or sell it?
pliers, gunpowder, diary, and cpu parts. Sell the DVD players, any and all bags you don't need, the PACA, most helmets (They're really worthless unless you have a good one IMO) Keep double bandages and sell singles and "cheese" keep esmarch and any stims you have
any tricks to speed up leveling vitality?
I healed 1400 hp in a raid and got .8 of a level
.8 of 1 point i mean
@austere notch ok thanks what about CPU fans, HDDs?
Its a slow burn, but multiple raids are better than 1, the more frequently you use any skill the more diminishing the returns are
I think you need the CPU fans for a task, I'm not 100% on the HDDs
you need 5 t-plugs found in raid
anyoune available to show me and a buddy the ropes, having a real bad time
I believe you need the T-plugs as well, I'm personally keeping tapes, screws, nuts, and bolts, packs of nails, light bulbs
This is totally personal opinion, so take it with salt, but I usually sell almost every tac-vest, armor, and helmet pre-10. Unless I find some good shit in a raid it's usually taking up extra unneeded space. I'll keep Scav-pack sized backpacks, and sell the rest, then just buy a sling from Ragman if I need something simple to into raid with
thanks for the help. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
At lv 4 should I sell a bronze lion or save?
bronze lion looks like its going for around 100k on flea, so unless it's comparable for traders I'd say save it
help please
every time my weapon is empty i cannot reload i have to manual press tab and unload my weapon
anyone wanna help out 2 new players?

could someone help me organize my stash?
can i sell my zaryas or am i gonna need them for a task later on
not worth very much the whole wipe usually, sell them if u need the space
Hey i would love to play with a sherpa as I am very lost, would anyone be willing to help me out?
You can sell most of that or keep it for future weapon customizations. Keep the graphics card for when you hit flea market. Graphics cards sell for around 200k on the flea market
the katt melee weapon that came with eod, will i lose it in my scabbard?
Is it possible to build guns for cheaper and at only lvl 7? I dont mean build a high teir weapon, just something like an ak74u or AKM, mp-133, ect? As opposed to just buying it outright?
Just scav
and use them weapons you get out with
No need to put on any attachments
can someone give me some tips to survive on customs ? i just cant survive one raid
Make sure to walk everywhere and play slow, have a goal when you go in, IE quests, kills on pmc's or looting
I've found customs is garbage for new players since everyone rushes neighboring spawn points and you have no idea where they are coming from since you haven't photo memorized every spawn point like everyone else in this game
not sure why it is highly suggested outside of it holding so many early missions
what is a good map for beginners ?
best bet is to hide somewhere and wait 10 minutes honestly. and even then people can be camping kills
honestly I have the same question. every new map I've tried either has frequent spawn rushes, scope advantage, or a ton of buildings that you need to memorize every default door position and loot spawn in order to know if another player has cleared a section of the building
or worse, janky jump spots that give peeks you wouldn't expect or can't get to cause lowskills, or special exit camping bits
pretty close to saying no map is newbie friendly tbh
what is this unknown key do?
i feel like you need to have a teammate who knows the game for it to be beginner friendly
its for a quest cant exactly remember which one
customs is your best bet for a good map because that is where most of your quests are going to be and it is easy to learn
does anybody have west wing 306 I cant find the key anyhwere and only have 20k
how do u get kill killa 100 times quest
you kill killa 100 times
no shit, im wondering what quest i have to complete to get it
can someone help me do the delivery task from prapor?
LFG anything pretty much. Preferably customs as ive been trying to finish my quests there or interchange as that's where i have the most map knowledge. I'm on NA servers and I am still semi new so if you're going to offer to help by running me into high traffic pvp areas to kill chads ill pass lol thanks though,
I need help guys with fps in game
I have a pretty decent pc and my ingame (not menu) fps are on 45-60
Can i i fix this ?
Have we been given any info on how the drops work?
@bold kernel use youtube optimization guides..
@hexed maple Yup. random over time. link twitch account and watch a stream
Idk I think he was cheating.

It's longer
And he shot the same gun
dsync
I am so fucking pissed at this clip.
can someone help me get two pairs of elite pliers???
@bold kernel still 60 fps and lower (unplayable)
does the stuff you get from drops count as FIR
no
@bold kernel I presume your computer doesn't handle the requirements then.
No way
Well I got like 4-5 year old hardware and pushing 60 by following a guide... not sure where you went wrong without more info... suggest #community-support for that.

i got a raid gas analyse AND an mp1-33
Yeah, nevermind. lost it all, okay cool
I've played the game last patch but not for very long, I'm very good at PvP but just lack the general map knowledge and looting locations. Would love it if someone helped me out on customs or teach me a new map
guys i need to upgrade from paca, what should i buy? like a tier higher not too expensive, baby steps
anyone want to help me with Jaeger's letter?
ty man
happens to all of us, it's rough
What is the best place to find emelya croutons?
really disheartening, pretty cringe ik its just a game but i was so hyped to get both my tasks done And a mosin out
is prapor randomly giving me stuff normal or is that like an event going on or something
Starting again after like 7 months anyone tryna play?
@native prawn there is an event going on
cool, just didn't expect a mosin and some armor in my inbox lol
I just bought the game at the discount but got charged the full price, this happened to anyone else
@solar magnet idk lol, I'm canadian and bought it on sale but it charged me 53$CAD
I don't know what currency it is on the website, I'm guessing USD$
Which edition?
Standard
It depends on where you are.
Nope. I'm guessing it makes sense then
It's not a set currency.
π€ Idk then
Hmm, I kinda want to get the lost money back that was meant to be saved by buying the game on discount
everytime i try to put a red sight on this it says that its not not compatible, whats the reason for it? :p
Here my Paypal account says 39.54$USD = 53.03$CAD @solar magnet
i tried with Cobra EKP-8-02 reflex sight too
But I forgot the price of the standard edition lmfaoo π
so 35.95$USD + 3.59$USD taxes
The USD to CAD isnβt that different is it?
so 39.54$USD in total. Makes sense I guess
the game with discount is the same as the game without the tax
1 CAD is 0.74 USD so
can I call someone and screen share so they can tell me what to sell
the game is 34.99 without taxes and around 50 ish with taxes
i'm new
if you buy with the discount then it becomes something around 34 euros
basically the game without the taxes iyk what i mean
The game was apparently Β£22 but it charged me Β£33
Yeah makes sense. Still cost me 53 fucking bucks lol π I'm poor now (jk)
That makes more sense
sounds about right, you are forgetting about the taxes
because on the website the taxes is not included sadly
Thank you for the confirmation on that
Yeah I'm guessing it's because of regions and amounts of taxes and stuff
I was wondering why it charged me more
no problem, glad i could help
yea i was shook tho lol but then i saw the taxes and i was like woo
Here in Quebec we have 15% taxes on everything π
hmm 12 to 15 in sweden
oof
We get fucked by our governments
I mean I get that they need the money lol but still
OOF
Here if it's non transformed food it's 0%
33% in income tax, 50% if you make over $5k
So like pure chicken, fruits, vegetables, etc
but as long as it's like already cut fruits, or a special kind of chicken with spiced then woop 15%
even if its 0% they still bring up the prices
Yeah asf lmfao
so nobody is the winner, expect the sells loool
Since COVID here everything costs a few bucks more
lmfao frl
I'm so lucky to still be working tho
lots of peep don't have jobs here rn
lmfao
"You can't sell can item which was not found in raid": I found it in raid. How can I sell this?
was it a piece of gear someone else brought in?
it has to spawn in raid or be crafted to have found in raid status so you can sell it
i think quest rewards have found in raid status too?
What does the "install" button does on the inventory?
wat
I just clicked it on a 9x19 M9A3 and it's not there anymore π
I just right-clicked and there was "install"
did it put a mag in your gun?
I'm guessing so? I'm just in the inventory menu, not in game
i'm going to assume when you say 9x19 m9a3 you meant a mag
yeah
if so it installed it into a compatible gun in your inventory
the one it was originally in?
yeah
yeah but I did "install" on two mags lol
my game keeps saying that i need to repair my files
it seems like when you click install and there's no gun to put it in it will move the mag to a different space
just a bug i guess
Okay lol weird
Hi anything useful besides backpack for damaged hard drive? I have like 8
Should I sell to the traders?
yes
I'm lvl 6
What weapon and ammo should i be using around level 5
that I could get form like prapor or any of them
AKs
Depends what gun^
What ammo for mp5
Yeah^ aint too much good ammo for mp5 that low of lvl
Best bet is to get some headshots in or spray some legs down
my game keeps saying that i need to repair my files
then repair them
Hi. Anyone looking for a tarkov noobie?
how to know if accessory for gun is compatible?
you need help? @tiny cedar
it is very easy to find out @steady coral
@ionic shuttle I am looking for a group to play with π but people want to grind
thanks for the help @ionic shuttle
i dont mind to chill for a raid or two
Hey, I just got access to the Flea market and solld all my stuff. I got 3.2 million and I would like to know what the best weapons for beginners are. I read something about the Vepr Hunter but it's an old post.
What would be a good budget mid-long range rifle/Sniper (also tell me which scope to use pls)?
What would be a good budget auto assault rifle that has a low amount of recoil and can be controlled relatively easily?
@steady coral no problem
Bruh, do I get my shit back if I die from the out of bounds sniper
@ionic shuttle Are you eu/na?
same
cool dm me in 10 mins
sure, i am killing a boss in wow anyway
best way to get xp as a new player?
anyone having problems getting into customs as pmc. i spent 11 minutes in a queue
Yeah, I spent 8 minutes trying to get in
Hey can someone tell me how I hand over items to traders as part of tasks? I have one mp-133 shotgun and three salewas for therapist
but in the tasks menu nothing is showing in my inventory for quests items
Did you find those items in raid? Are there specifics for the tasks? Like a specific map, specific mods, ect
I found them all - although for some reason the salewas don't have a found in raid tick on them?
the shotgun has an orange tick that says its for the quest
it's just the first two tasks in the game
Does the shotgun and selwas have specifications? If you cant hand one over usually that means its gotta be a specific type
well ive never done this first of all so i want to make sure im in the right location to do so
this where it should appear?
also you can see the tasks dont specify anything
only play on customs
Try going to them directly through the dealers tab
okk man this ui is awful haha I was looking here earlier but didnt see it thanks, i was able to turn in the one shotgun
the three salewas are still a no go tho, literally the last one I got i took off a dead pmc. any idea why that's not marked as found in raid?
Not sure, but this patch has been partially buggy but if you are able, crafting is a good way to go
ok ill have a go at that, thank you
it wouldn't be marked as in raid if he brought it himself
you have to craft or find in world/on a scav
whats a good way to make money?
Easy way? Survive during a scav raid and extract
what do i need to do for the twitch drops to drop me stuff
like is there any farms?
Theres rhe shoreline stash runs you could do
@finite helm You need to have Twitch linked to Tarkov via your profile (www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile) and then watch the streams. Do NOT mute the stream itself, that stops you from being able to get drops. Mute the tab instead.
do i just google shoreline stash runs to find out more?
You can but there are also maps you can download that show where they are
@mighty shoal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4qymXDdbaA
All 37 known shoreline cache locations and a potential loot run for them! Honestly these are a hidden gold mine of opportunity and a great addition to the game. Spreading out loot on the maps is important.

@harsh nexus so i can play eft while still getting the drops and how long do you usually need to wait
I see about 1 drop per 4 hours
thats a long time
So I have the stream on in background, browser muted and at 160p.
what can you get from it
But it's somewhat random so
can it be on a browser
Just put it at 160p, mute the browsertab and chill out
im not a twitch type of person so i dont really have a twitch account
Yes so long as you're logged into twitch and linked it π
Oh you need a twitch account and link it via your Tarkov profile page
thanks man
Any time dude π
@harsh nexus if my laptop crashes mid twitch does the timer for drops reset? I get many blue screens
Thatβs why Iβm on my phone right now
π Looking for a beginner to play regularly with me. Anything below 100 hours is fine, I have 300, but I am still fairly new. Not looking to play with too big of a skill gap to keep the experience comparable. Just pm me.
I am in North America, but I have the EU version to play in any region.
No, it looks at your time total.
But ideally you'd be watching for a prolonged time. It'll be fine tho
It's for a certain type of people, yes.
i love looting games
@steady coral 90% of the time that's because you, as a new person, do not have the map awareness, skill and the mindset just yet for the game. That's not bad, but it will put you back
ur just bad stop complaining this game is about realism and having smart positions
i spend about 10 min to join a game to be killed in a 1 min from the start of the raid
A LOT of people here have over 3000 hours or more.
fking bs
Then stop playing.
then get the high of leaving with a lot of loot
fight back
cant do that
it is a very difficult game to learn but each kill you get is that much more satisfying
just be a rat
This game isn't for the faint of heart. I am a newbie too, played for less than 1,5 week so far. But with dedication and learning, you can get better. There's a great resource through our Sherpa's that can help you get better.
im a lvl 3 getting killed by kids that are already lvl 20+
@harsh nexus how do i link my twitch
https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile -> There's a purple button there for it
anyone know why its costing a lot now to heal when i die ?
like before it used to cost 0 now it ocsts like 10k
@mighty shoal You leveled beyond level 5.
level 20 is nothing. but if you catch a level 50 slipping and kill them, thats GGs
ah i see
Earlier today I killed a level 36
And he yielded a shit ton of JUICY loot
So what did I do? I didn't stay to fight.
what do i do now
I fucked off and ran for the exit (in a smart way).
do i join a random tarkov stream?
You can follow Pestily
3x EFT World Champion 2020, Not afraid to jump head first down a stair case, Done some cool stuff for kids
@steady coral First step first. Which maps do you play that get you killed?
Pestily is pretty good at trolling around and has a lot of game knowledge, he also responds to a lot of chat-asked questions
And he has great YT content on how to play the game π
But if you want to see someone really hit people with insane map knowledge and shred enemies https://www.twitch.tv/lvndmark is the guy to watch imo
LVNDMARK streams live on Twitch! Check out their videos, sign up to chat, and join their community.
he doesnt do a lot of teaching though but hes very chill to watch and is awesome at the game
Yes, Savage you should be fine.
Is the "player" sound enabled
customs, interchange and reserve, i run inside a building and get naded
watching streamers is a great way to learn looting spots on specific maps tho, what spawns where etc
While tab's not.
@steady coral Focus on one map. Reserve and Interchange are very hard core
As a result you'll die when you are not yet very good.
i know interchange the most
and then 4 hours later i just check my tarkov messages?
reserve is second
@finite helm If you get a drop, you'll get it in your inbox in-game
and customs is the one im trying to learn no w
Okay, give me a moment Kilz
customs is easiest to learn but i recommend going on atleast scav runs on random maps every now and again so it doesnt get boring just grinding the one map (and probably dying most times, unless you hardcore rat)
factory is great if you want to get better at PVP and not be scared of fighting people
im sort of a pro rat in interchange
is it bad if my scav is more leveled than my pmc
the game should be how you want to play it man @finite helm , theres no "right or wrong" way imo
So @steady coral I took the time to mark the player spawns RED on the above map; to make them stand out more.
There's of course other dangers, but if you learn those spawns right away then you know where danger can come from early on.
im actually getting the hang of customs
that makes sense how i died so quick
gotta learn sniper scavs on customs, they are a pain
theres only a few but remember where they are
So one thing for you to focus on when you learn a map, whether that is Customs or not, is to understand where people go.
On customs you'll run into good players in Dorms especially, as there's a LOT of juicy loot there. For reference, we opened one of the rooms there and looted a 800k weapon
I can mark those too if you like
can i have multiple scav junk boxes in my stash
i can still hear the streamer for some reason
i spawned next to the 4 pillers near repair shop, i ran in the repair shop went to the top because i i had a sniper and before i got to the top some kid Absolutely destroyed me, he throw like 4 nades and spammed a star wars weapon
i thought i muted the streamer why can i still hear him
@vivid sapphire Yes.
thats a great map btw @harsh nexus
@steady coral Arrows mark sniper scavs. They WILL headshot you.
yo is there any working promo codes for the game? am about to buy it and saw promo code section π
Haha not right now, Delirium, but the discount's great! Did you do some research ahead of time on the game? π
this man is like staff but he aint staff. madness
been watching streams for a while
yeah
actually nicer than staff
afraid once he applies for staff he gets turned into one of the staff
its nice of you to help people like htis
@pulsar kite One thing I do need to say when you buy it. This game will kick you by the ankles and make you crawl before you run. That may make it hard at first, but with this group and the Sherpa channels, you can easily find helpful players willing to show the ropes. A slight bit of masochism is needed tho XD β€οΈ
last time i asked for help downloading the game when it was at 50 kbps everyone just said "get better wifi"
the game makes you want to commit loaded VSS up bum
^^^^
@harsh nexus thank you for the advice , i already know how hard this game is π
im going in as a scav at customs, lets see how quick it takes me to die π
Good good, π
i would love to get a 1 on 1 with a sherpa tbh

Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
There you go for our newest members π
and i believe im going to spam scav runs till i get the balls to do runs with pre loadouts xD
One rule of thumb I live by.
aint no better way to learn than by getting smacked in your first raid π
Do not play with guns that you can not afford to replace twice right off the bat.
That way you'll always have enough money for your activities.
whats wrong the shotgun you randomly get on scav runs :d
you guys play with guns?
But also make sure you dont end up just hoarding loot and not actually using the higher-end gear, cause otherwise whats the point of even having it π
i go in full naked going to loot scavs
Ah yes I play with guns Savage.
lol i go out as a pmc with a knife only and try and rat
You can get cheap weapons like an SKS
Is rb-ps81 key worth it or should i sell?
That costs about 25k with ammo; is easily looted.
pretty expensive
@stable urchin You could check https://www.tarkov-market.com
btw , the payment process took for ever and nothing
ive been holding on to these cause i dont want them to lose value if i exit raid. which ones do i save for fleemarket
@finite helm Did you do succesful extractions as a scav yet?
You'll need them all later so I would just keep them
Only sell the ones you have double.
i love chasing down people who come into raids with just a pistol or a knife. great fun
can you run a an armored rig for unprotected but dangerous?
also been holding on to a vector i want to sell on the flee market i heard everyone wants it so it is prob profitable to sell
It can be profitable to sell it on the flee market; yes, but don't expect insane prices.
You're not yet level 10 right, Savage?
@finite helm
If not, you can use the online market page as a guideline for prices. It's not perfect and it can be outdated, but you can see how much something roughly can be worth when flee market is available. Check: https://www.tarkov-market.com/
why can't you do introduction?
Well you can, but you need to get some help maybe π
And as for the prices: They are updated regularly π
i know that one
but
every time i check it
its not there
some dude took ti
i only found it once in there but i was a scav and i died to a exit camper
By the way for @steady coral and @finite helm do not hesitate to ask for a group to quest with via #pvp-lfg! There's tons of people that don't mind helping you out in your region.
no ones in my region
What timezone/region do you play in?
Yeah I can imagine that makes it hard
I'd help but I am on the other side of the globe.
But, you know what you can do? π
See if someone is willing to guide you through by streaming your run on Discord. That way they can help out π
It's 3:30 AM for me; so I am about to pass out π
guys cant i put the suppressor on it? it hsould work because skier gave it to me
maybe you need like a conversion barrel or something
Inspect the suppressor and send me a picture of it @patent scarab
Doesn't appear that it is combatible with the firearm.
is there a muzzle adapter you need?
Also, you can hover over the arrow here and it will tell you.
okay thank you man
does anyone have a fix to the long wait time for matching
it takes me over 15 minutes to get into a customs game
Did you set your server list? On the launcher
yeah
Then no sorry that is the only one i know
i have three selected its the same issue and its only for pmc games
your region may be dead right now. Try addin more that you have ok ping on
ok for now imma select all the ones i can do ill see how that is
GL
factory is so scary
the scariest moment is when you are actually for sure no ones around and some dude just rises from a bush and kills you
so i just started and opned up hideout. am ii supposed to buy something first or just go right into offline to learn a map and then raid online?
watch a guide on tarkov on youtube. best tutorial i cant really explain well @tranquil anchor
Anyone else having fps issues on woods and reserve now after patch?
nope
oh yeah that helped i got in in three minutes
Glad it helpoed and thanks for letting me know it worked. Now grind those task lol
bet ive trying to do the scav missions
With?
everything xD
Scavs ain't spawning on offline customs with PVE turned on and Amount set to horde
almost certain I just got killed by a cheater
can anyone get this kid banned right now?
I have video proof
@tranquil anchor offline for learning mechanics and maps on your PMC, then you can use your Scav runs for risk-free attempts at loot... but note the Scav and PMC are separate progress, so you don't want to overuse Scav - alternating is a good strategy, run Scav and then PMC - once you have a decent amount of rubles you can just run PMC all the time
seperate progress as in the levels/skill tree?
yeah exactly that
and you can't get the tasks done as a scav except getting found in raid items
right like all the kills or such is prob PMC only
yup
and getting special items like the bronze pocket watch when you get to that task
well time to do offline, watching a video as well while im playing
and get a map up on another screen when you go for real
Anybody know if there's a updated version of the woods map out yet ?
yah i got another monitor so thatll help
in game map may as well not exist. There are just napkins that jaeger got drunk and dribbled on
Can anyone come play with me who knows what theyre doing, stuck in a loop of dying over and over
Someone please help me with the quest "Introduction?"
in offline raids, are items/gear consumed like if i shoot or use first aid?
so
is there something with not being able to extract like ? I'm at old gas lights are green it says its my extracting I stand there and I legit cant extract
sounds good, also this game can be sooo dark lol
yeah im at the extract spot
im waiting nothing is happening I have a shit ton of loot on me and I get pushed by a 3 man and die cause fucking extract isnt working for idk why
weird. They added a no overweight status at the RUAF roadblock. Might be soemthing similar there
bruh
yeah it messed me up when they did that and there was nothing on screen indicating it. SMH
extracting has been weird since my v-exit never works now either
its like a game breaking bug maybe they should look into it
does hole in the wall extract on reserve not work anymore?
Yes there is
It's a scav extract and I haven't run my scav there much to see
It does, I use it all the time
But it's scav only afaik
for the drops in the twitch do i need chrome to be open. its minimized. will it sitll count?
should be fine minimized. I set mine to low quality, mute the tab and then have other things up. Not sure I have minimized though to verify.
Don't just mute the stream though.
yeah they said an avergae of 3 to 3.5 hours per drop
i muted the tab but not the stream
yeah that does work.
Where can i locate delicious beef stew? are there any maps that are better than others?
Interchange in Goshan and if you want to splurge the underground cage keys on reserve by hermetic.
Thanks sir, thats not the small tusonkas its the larger can
Jaeger stash runs are also good for them.
yes. He has shot guns that are good especially early wipe and a lot of trades for the late game items. It is a bit of a pain but you can pistol run it
i sold the mp5 stock and now the mp5 wont work. WHAT. that doesnt make any sense its not like the stock had anything important in it its just plastic
when you heal do you just drag healing item onto the health ui's body part?
i used like the syringe kit thing and it healed random limb
that works and lets you chose the part to heal which is useful. You can also hot key heals to use fast in raid if tyhey are in your rig or pockets and it is supposed to auto select the worst limb.
yah i had it hotkeyed
gonna find extract to get comfortable with it and then go to my first scav run
Some guns require certain parts to operate
its a realtime counter right? like there is a cooldown after using your scav. ocould i like quit the game and come back later when timer is out and i can use scav again?
@tranquil anchor It prioritizes the most hurt spot when it heals
@tranquil anchor 20 minutes IRL
@tranquil anchor yeah that is how it works
the stock holds the gun together lol
go yt and look for mp5 disassembly
Is it worth it to buy the marked Key in roms for 750k? Does it actually have good loot regularly?
the map that you know
yes ik that but what map is kinda forgiving ?
none
rip
when you get lost and then its too dark to see
If you die with keys inside your gamma container do you loose them ?
And is kIBA key worth keeping ?
u dont loose anything in gamma
So letβs say I take that kIBA key go to the store or whatever and use it and put it back in my gamme I wonβt loose it
Bet
you donβt need to move the key out of your gamma to use it.
Ooooh thanks!
is there like a ingame way to check what items value is when in raid?
@tranquil anchor https://tarkov-market.com/
but no way in game.
thatll help π
hi, i did this with space before but it still said the same thing, im trying to put a silencer on this weapon
is it worth running around in offline mode on customs to get a hang of the map a little better?
im starting to get more confident in fighting and i feel like i need a new weapon for a better chance of winning in pvp, whats a good budget assault rifle to invest in that will help me in pvp and also not be to expensive to make again if i die
What guns do you have? Iβm still using 5.45 Ak74 Bt ammo I think
well i have flea so i can grab whatever
lookin for someone to help with customs quest
what is a kiba key
Can anyone explain this to me? Why does your compass show north differently if use open it when using a pistol compared to using a rifle when North should be north. Its about 16 degrees different between the two. Also why is pistol ADS much slower than the rifle ADS. I'm comparing an ak with the glock and I'm getting about 45 degree less when I spin in a circle then seeing where the compass lands.
idk if the first one is a bug or am i missing something?
does your pistol have a drum mag in it?
no
idk then
