tier 4 armored rig should do nicely
Can someone help me get some money please
6b3tm I think its called
as for weapons it can be whatever you'd prefer
it's an armored rig
huh
that doesnt get unlocked until lvl 2 ragman
I can get it from flea
they have flea though
pretty much
maybe a sight on it
if you dislike iron
could someone show me a money run
shoreline caches or interchange caches are pretty decent for a newer player. There are several youtube videos covering both
Walter mrs?
and what's the mag called for the vector
vector 9x19mm
"big stick"
for the 9x19
or you could find a drum mag
the drum mag for the glock 9x19 works for the vector as well
thanks
if you right click a weapon and hit linked items it will show you what mags and mods are used for that weapon
but which ammo type
9x19
hello I'm lvl 6 and I'm new to the game anyone can help?
if you need an attachment for anything just press rightclick on it and filter by linked
The more expensive the ammo the better armor piercing
Whether you want to spend the money on AP ammo is up to you
ap is expensive af lol I don't think I should do it
cuz I'm level 10 and prolly gonna die
pst gzh isnt bad. just go for face sprays and you will get kills still or go quakemaker and leg homies into the dirt.
then you're better off with an AK if you want to be budget
aks recoil is shitty tho
RPK is around 40k right now. The recoil is 71 which is stable.
It's the same price for a budget kit AK that is 71 recoil.
yeah that's the most recommended one
yea it will get the job done
and you'll look cool wearing it
that will be your go to helmet for awhile. its cheap and has a good chance to bounce a round.
^
buy a balaclava too
if he's wearing that helmet, covering his face isnt gonna do much
maybe, but his face is gonna be damn white compared to the rest of his gear
and its only like $2k
also you dont have a splint
they have painkillers though
ig but dying of dehydration is always fun
do i need splint
up to you, its nice to have if you get a broken leg and want to run
anyone in the mood to help me do some runs and get started in this game
i mean im down im pretty new to the game as well
good luck
yea bring splint
i got the game a few days ago wondering if i can find anyone to run with
sure! this is my second wipe. put about 350 hrs into last wipe so not an expert but I know the ropes. add me on discord and ill be down after work
ok
Is the 660mm barrel for the DVL-10 integrally silenced or is that only the 500mm one?
damn bro I just died and lost all my loot
prob just gonna keep using a pistol lol I didn't get to shoot a bullet from my vector
only the 500mm one
same thing happened to me when i bought a vector. feelsbad
Thank you!
Never buy an expensive weapon and you never feel like you lost anything 
xD
what mag for this?
It takes 6L23s
you can use the basic 5.45 ak mags
Any normal 5.45 AK mag will work.
and other basic 5.45 AK mags
this ?
yep
Yeah.
sure
with bt ammo?
Yeah.
See that "Compatible with available" thing there? Hover over the dropdown and it'll show all your guns that it'll fit in
aight hope this weapon is good
also btw, if you have the market unlocked, you can right click on the gun and pick "linked search"
Then you can go to Gear Mods > Magazines
and it'll only show mags that'll fit
this is what comes up for a linked search on that gun
what is the emote wheel button
A good thing to keep in mind when new is that your gun doesnt win you fights. How you play and understanding what you can do with your kit is more important. I drop dudes with the cheap sks all the time because I know how to approach fights when I have one. Dont get caught up in thinking gear = win.
is there a way to tell the power's on on interchange/
^^^^^
hit o twice
The gun really doesn't matter that much
if saferoom exfil is green power is on
you can also tell from what lights are on but checking the exfil info is faster and will tell you if power is on anywhere on the map.
So
It won't send me the verification code when logging into the launcher, what do I do
looking for some one to help me learn then game
same
sure! im no expert but ive put some time in. what regions are you both?
Looking for someone to help me play the game, I am currently only solo raiding customs and having a very bad time with the game
im game. Like I said after work im down to run with folk and give a hand. what region are you in?
EU
I'm US
clay im new aswell wanna run together and see what we can do?
ok im us west coast. ill be off 5 pm my time so anytime after that if people want to run together im game. You can add me on discord
i would also like to join if u dont mind im new as well
EU?
could try but ping might be an issue
anyone eu tried playing on na ?
if anyone wants to play now im doing a scav run
its been hit and miss in my experience. i'd grab an east coast server and run a scav run and see if you time out
same i can help if anyone needs help, but il be on tomorrow 😛
let me know how it goes once you do
thank you
anyone wanna duo on custom do some missions and chill 18+ Na HMU lets game dude or female don't care
ahh gotcha, yeah i may try that actually
cloud it really depends where the eu person lives in my experience
I made 500k on a scav run in customs without killing players or looting players lol
i hate customs :/
well done though
customs is stinky wish it didnt have so many quests but then again I feel the same way about shoreline so like
@tawdry shard east coast servers are typically stable enough for EU but the ping still has a pretty noticeable effect on it
huh, i live in dubai, so im unsure how that would turn out tbh. like ping on eu servers is good, was just thinking of trying different servers
should I be selling keys or looking to use them?
depends on the key
I'm in germany and my ping is 100 to east coast, its fine
depends on what keys they are
some are useless others are amazing
any tips for aquarius?
1 or 2 jd
1
what about this one
ru in get it then run straight out
fair enough
why did i buy a scav junkbox if i can't put anything it it wtf
I can't put any backpack or any gun
its 40k on flea
some rb keys are kinda cheeks but it you dont want to check every single one keeping them all is a good idea
see how much it costs, either sell it or keep it, but for me i love reserve so id keep it
also im running out of space lmao
only junk goes in it
I think im too greedy with my items?
zero junk box you put in barter items such as fuel hoses and tapes
fuck theennnn
@eager pulsar probably 😛
this kinda stuff
I'll sell it back i guess
dont seel it back
its really good though, will save you loads of space since you need a shit load of junk for your hideout
its is worth it
donate the gc to me xD
I need
ofc
barter items are important in this game. guns and stuff are not the only things you need.
ive played around 100 raids maybe more, only came across 2 gc so far
go reserve it's place to look for them
thats the only map i play xD
reserve and woods
dumb question prob but can I do quests as a scav
ive even tried interchange bt no luck there
no
you can find items for quests as scavs but nothing else will count
ah good to know
rly? i founded three on customs since wipe and played maybe 30 raids
damn
well i usually focus on fraggs and not looting much tbh, but yeah like the many times ive been in tech building and so on ive never found any
i found 1 in tech building and found the second one on a person i killed
i found 1 in pc in vans outside repair shop, one in repair shop under desk on first floor and one in PC on dorms 3store room 206
there is channel looking for group
anyone got any budget builds i could run ?
in level 26 but still pretty new to game
just been doing quests
and got the game on the 27th so i dont really know much
if you have access to level 2 traders which you most likely do by 26 I suggest either running a cheap adar setup or an ak-74 build. I wont get in depth on those but both have reasonable build just from trader items and will get you kills assuming you dont use the crappier ammo.
Any Chill adults here want to do Bunker pt 1? PST NA
is there a way to get this without paying 100k ?
you can find them in weapon boxes
yeah that lol
skier LL2 sells it for hella cheap
wait if I do the task can I sell it back
or does he take the gun
for gunsmith part 1
he takes the gun
I don't have anyone at level 2
same 😦
whatever I guess I'll buy it
honestly probably best to just wait then
you dont have to rush to complete gunsmith quests
brand new to the game, what should I do to get myself started
you have to get a "Sprut"
i would start by learning the maps by playing offline and exploring them. that way you dont risk losing anything and you can get to know how the mechanics work
for sure
sprut doesnt work
makes ergo too low for quest
you need the Custom MP-133
its a barter from mechanic
oh really
im just dumb
nah it's fine
@short hare mine wont work eitheer
screenshot the inspect of the gun
this is terrifying
i was doing scav run and i just have to push myself not to stay in one place
lmao i get that
is there anything you can do with all of the dogtags you collect?
trader barters. Or sell to therapist for some roubles
I see the streamers usually pick the dogtag up right away, are they worth that much in roubles?
try taking off the sprut and mounting the laser directly to the handguard? not sure
how long do Vaseline and the other Vaseline looking 1 last ?
higher level ones can be. they get lots of kills so they likely use them for barters for cases or other things id guess.
its like at the top middle of the screen i believe
i see nothing
350 secs
for vaseline, 400 for golden star balm
ty
is it less than 4 cells long?
@red coral dont you need the other muzzle?
on the yt videos they said this one worked too
you can use the gk-02 with a custom mp-133 handguard and a VPG
this one should work, i literally turned in that exact build like 2 days ago
reaload client?
^
ill restart
can someone help me get jager and prapors convoy i know generally where they are but i despise woods and don't know the extracts so i never went.
still no luck
can u change the brightness on an optic so its not bright when using NVG
sorry im not sure whats wrong. your build checks all the boxes so that seems pretty weird.
Lol I guess ill just never complete my tasks, good job tarkov
@red coral You need help?
yes
maybe try taking it apart and putting is backtogether?
okay
Which chat are you in?
lol this sounds like gun tech support. "Sir have you tried restarting you gun?"
still nothing
gunsmith pt 1
K gimme a sec
can you throw up a cap of the gun again?
you tried without the sprut as well right?
watch this video
yes
yea if you actually look at the cap the weapon is correct. it hits all the marks compared to the wiki alt version
where is the weapon sitting
im abt to drop 100k on the other choke
in ur inventory or on u
in stash
nah man don't drop 100k on the choke
try disassembling it
just do the trade in from mechanic
and reapplying
I got railway and scav camp
it gives you the same choke
AM I CLOSE?
then back out and go to mechanic
fast I got 5 mins
no you are exact opposite of rail
I can buy the choke for you if i need
take a right and then go right to other corner
I get how annoying these gunsmith quests are
6 minutes 
i had it where the weapon wouldnt let me turn it in until i just moved the gun around in my stash
thats how stupid it can be
take off the sprut
i didnt remodify it
around mall and beeline to diagonal across lots to trees. should see trains run to the ones under the bridge/edge map
Take off the sprut and it should work
sprut shouldnt matter. the min ergo is 47 needed so its already over that
took off sprut and no difference
can you cap the quest screen when you try and turn in?
is the cell 4 spaces?
yes
For some reason, tarkov and my discord keep crashing at the same time
i know its stupid, but have u tried restarting
hey all I am level 5 right now, should i be selling things like wires/tape/pliers/etc...?
Is the gun 4 cells only?
No, sell them at level 10 on the flea market @viscid helm
You’ll probably need a lot of them for quests later anyways
pliers prob arent worth
ya i just find they clog up my inventory a bit
i think u lose more then its worth
tapes, nuts, bolts, wires are worth most of the time
especially bolts rn
for flea
to sell on flea? ok
yea only one i would vendor is prob pliers
the gun is correct. its nearly identical to the one on the wiki and falls within the requirements from the caps. This has to be a technical issue. not sure what anyone here can do for you =[
it worked thank god
lol
what, restarting worked?
good to hear thou it got sorted!
thanks guys
inventory filled need assistance knowing what to sell and what to keep
Sell the keycard
is the ak not good?
Nah
its an ak
AK have horrible recoil
screencap your stuff that you're considering selling
Still need help?
yes please
anyone wanna run raids
Ill run raids with someone. Im trying to learn maps im new
With me in it
if i screencap inv where should i send the pic? here?
so basically i should not care about my items until i hit lvl 10 and can use flea market?
theres legit 3 people in beginner assistance muted and deafen wtf lol
this is sorta hard to answer. It depends on what you want for your game. Do you care about hideout and quests or are those features you arent as concerned with?
i think i need to prioritize them somewhat ya
so you should look into whats needed for the early hideout stuff and keep those for now. Also there are a few quests early on that are item driven. Look at those and consider keeping those items as well. If its something way down the road you are likely to find those items again but it can suck when you realize you sold 5 of something and the next quest you get needs those.
the wiki is a great source of information on what you need for those. there is a image that breaks down the exact items for everything at once glance.
okay thanks
@donuts something came up so I won't be able to be on for like 30 mins, tell our other buddy that
@delicate pasture
i gotchu. thanks for the assistance sir
Hey I have a question about extractions. I had a run where I went to one of the extraction points, but it didn’t put me back to lobby. The countdown hit 0 and I was still in game. Is this a bug or is it intentional?
Yea
Yeah thats a glitch
😦
Damn had one of my best runs too
Ive been playing a few days and ive learned that the hard way too jay.. I died sitting there..
its a legit ninja game imo.. i need better hearing to play alone or something, i got tired of dying XD
Hey. Pretty new. Been playing way too much the past few days but its all mostly safe stash runs
Anyone can help me knock out some quests?
in delivery from the past, if I go with a team can we all pick up the case?
yes
^
could someone help me go through my inventory quickly?
^ same, should I hold anything for level 10?
sure, want to send a cap of what you got going on?
how much is it worth?
you can make way more off it on flea market or you can run labs using it
roughly 170,000
;-;
roubles
does anyone know how to fix the infinite loading right when you start the game?
reinstall possibly?
done that
is your game on your ssd?
yes
What's a good place for a newb to go to try and get the gas analyzer for therapist?
what are your specs
it doesnt freeze or anything it just loads and never gets to menu
p1/2 - my stash is full to the brim. both tac vests are full with ammo
i have a good pc ive got into the game before but now its not working'
i know i dont need all those guns but i dont know who/if i hsould be selling them
interchange in backend of oli or idea imo but that really depends on what maps you know and feel comfortable on.
can anyone lead me through to jaeger's note and help me extract
@frozen spoke I'm comfortable with the south half of customs. Interchange is a maze but I've gone there and extracted a few times. And if I keep getting lost I'll try to learn the map in offline mode.
i just dont know what to do
@viscid helm All I know about inv management is that if you want to sell shotguns, go to jaeger. I sell all my other guns to mechanic. And only keep things that you either have a hard time getting, you know you'll need in the future, or you plan to actively use. I sell off everything else. If I don't know what something does, I wiki it. It tells me if it's ever needed for a future quest.
maybe keep the suppressors but the keder and sawn off mosin arent really worth it. keep those keys for sure and the toolkit, zibbo and tushonka unless you are past those quest you need them for. keep the skull too maybe just incase you get stuff for the trades later but the veritas pick you cuold vendor since you wont need it until very very late game
unlock flea market and see what everything is worth on the market...
customs has some good technical boxes that will get you a gas an. Map genie has some great maps that you can filter to look for specific loot types and will help you not get lost. For gas an you want technical and eletronic spawns
values can change over time
you need to take it off the sprut and then add it to the ak
assuming thats the handguard with a side rail as well as bottom
@bold kernel i think you just rich rich ;-;
thanks
@frozen spoke how do I know what's a technical/electronic spawn? is it pc block/toolbox?
tactical
binding should be T to turn on and off and double tap T to change the mode if it has several
i think its t
I am no wheres near rich compared to some streamers
T, (CTRL T to change laser to flash)
thanks man
PC block/toolbox will get you them. The wiki has what every item is categorized as and then each object that you can loot has a table that pulls from that category. If you want full lists of where items can spawn in look it up on the wiki and it will tell you exactly what to search through for a chance.
thank you
anytime! =]
@minor coyote looking a bit full there lol
I don't know what to do with my stuff
hmu
im level 3 or 4
pm me man ill give you a hand sorting it
down to do custom runs with new players
500k profit a run
only doing a few, pm me. NA
@short hare just tap um once.
threeman vs me
fully geared check this out lol
i had nothing but a pistol.
you still down for customs with newbies
anyway to change optics brightness when using NVG
bro no shot
huh
dude how many hours u got into the game
anybody wanna play, i am new to this game
@short hare i took a one year break,
m9a3 broken
fuckin hell I'll keep trying to get good at it
hey so i ensure a backpack. and no one takes it. do i get it back with everything inside or do i get it back empty?
i usually ensure with prapor
Anyone need the Remington Tactical Choke 12ga for gunsmith part 1? Im selling it cheap
just the pack unless u insured items in the backpack and no one took them.
Damn wizard i wish i found you, i just did that mission
rip lol
i see. so no use of ensuring backpacks unless they are expensive
and can i fit like the boxes or whatever you call them in the alpha puch?? like the docs thinggy and the ammo boxes
if anyone wants a Remington Tactical Choke 12ga for gunsmith part 1 for cheap PM me
dont insure any backpacks
if something is worth taking off a body, its probably never coming back.
@bold kernel I ensure most items since you never know what comes back. but as far as backpacks go I mostly run ScavBPs or one of the other similar ones and they almost always come back. Its cheap to buy a new one too.
i see. well honestly i have lots of big backpacks but i mostly use them for storage since the left behind edition stash is not that big. i rly need to get my hands on the storage things
yep. most large bags are used for storage, scavBP is the most price to efficiency backpacks so a lot of people run them and they dont get taken often, and if u need more space the first thing I recommend you to buy is a Lucky Scav Case
its 4x4 with a 14x14 inside that stores all loot items thats not guns, ammo, food, meds, wearable etc but most things goes in
yeah i need a place to store flash drives and shit until i unlock the flee market
junkbox is what u want.
anyone wanna help me do some quest runs on customs? dorms operation aquarius, bronze pocketwatch quest (Have key for bronze pocketwatch, dont have 206 for operation aquarius)
Lvl 8
but also i need gun storage. desperately rn i have like 3 big backpacks full of guns
AKMs on mosens on SKSs
i sell most of my guns lol since space is a premium
just eating my inventory up. and i dont have the balls to sell it because im a loot rat
i keep or buy rechargeable batteries to trade for adar
u dont lose it when u sell it, just liquidfy it 😉
i cant do that. im always over encumbered in every game i play. D&D / fallout (nv or 4) /skyrim /outer worlds.... like im a loot goblin
at a losss
shhhhh it evaporates a bit ok? xD
plus im poor asf. i only have like 1,4million rubles... i cant afford to buy shit back
honestly... that makes sense
pro tip, remove the mags and pistol grips to save space
that only works for some guns thou
how do you get a trader to teir 2
where do i put those?
i did all the money and loyalty points
on the upper tright corner of a trader there is a list of requirements
but it isnt upgrading
screenshot it?
@proud lion spent the required amount of money?
relog game is bugged
^
@bold kernel if u have like 1.4 mil already just get to lvl 10 and sell everything until u have 1.9 mil. you can buy a Lucky Scav Box from there
huh just wait a bit game is buggy
If anyone still needs the Remington Tactical Choke 12ga for Gunsmith P1 im selling it for cheap
Anyone mind helping me get a couple customs quests done?? Lvl 8 (DM/@ me)
aight ill do some grinding
Anyone can help me get this last Customs Scav kill? Level 5 and still at 4/5
is there any guide about how to level up faster or what can i do?
Help with some other quests like Jaegar would be welcome too
You dont have to do anything....You will eventually level from runs. The more kills the more xp
do the quests
that'll give you the easiest XP
Quests are quickest early on]
I'd prioritize Jaeger's quest on woods if you have it, you'll be able to buy the MP-133's for the other quest that you need them for from him
Anyone willing to help with tthat quest? lol
Anyone wanna play Im new
you don't need to successfully extract, so I just yolo'd dorms since there are usually a few scavs there
only died to an enemy pmc 1/3 times
how much is the 1500kg backpack worth??? and should i keep or sell it?
takes too much space in my stash... should i wait to sell it on the market? or to one of the traders?
the pilgrim backpack
i need 2 rats
im a rat. but fairly new to the game
I'm new as well, tryna learn customs solo is..... Difficult
Guess yolo runs it is. Might as well get the quest finished
Need 10 to free up this inventory
to explain how good of a rat i am. all i got to say is that my stash is full of guns and backpacks. and i have 1.4 mil rubles while only being lvl 4
hummmmm
What even...
So this is for real a ninja game then? I suck at stealth
it's a ninja game for people like me, who suck
Dude I tried being a ninja and got ambushed.. 😑
big hint, if you're running around making a literal fuckton of noise, then yeah, congrats on your instadeaths
That was the first few times till I realized the metal on the ground makes a Lot of bloody noise
I usually just run away from gunfire or footsteps
headsets have saved me 50000 times more than any helmet has
I get merked before I can turn around 🤷 and seriously?
if you and your friends think cruising around like a heard of elephants is a great idea, i'm going to hear you from way off, find a corner and ambush your asses
also if you only bring crappy gear and insure it, people will usually not loot it
I have five packages from prapor right now
Ok
sound management is pretty big. Also knowing the flow of a map so you know when being loud versus quiet will help tons
^^^^
love taking new guys to teach them the game and the first thing i tell them is sound is your biggest give away
"nah it can't be that bad"
they brush past a bush 100+m away
"i heard you dude"
"what the fuck!?!?"
Carefully
Yeah imma have to invest some time after work one day this week just on my audio then. I have horrible hearing..
Walk all the way around mill and down toward scav house
@modest epoch it’s more crucial that you control your own audio
^
Like not being loud in a no loud zone
For instance dorms I’d say is mostly a no loud zone
the player base is split to 3 parts
1- the rats. people who dont engage and are there to loot and get rich
2-the chads. people who go out to kill
3- the hybrids. they do both. and make the minority of the fanbase. but are among the richest and best players. the most versatile bunch
I like to call them Chadrats
that said sometimes being loud is the way. No point slow walking into a peek if the guy knows you're there or pushing a room slow mid fight isn't the best idea.
the best rat is without a doubt general sam.
among the best chads there are aquaFPS
chats.... chats is the best name
Chadrat makes me think of a small Indian child
Lmao
LMAO
Very dangerous
people keep taking my sks
is there anything worth less that can still kill scavs?
honeybadgers
YES
i think the VPO
I’ll take your vpo
don't have access to that
anything can kills scavs lmao
PM
i sold all my VPOs and kept the mosines and the SKSs
no, I've lost 2/3 pms
just run a Makarov comrade it is best gun
i had like 6 VPOS LMAO
my vepr 136's rarely ever get looted
It is cheap who cares
pistols are probably too easy to grab or something
why tf are sks 25k on the flea market
prapor literally sells them for less
because people who live on the flea are dumbasses
oh wait, that's the hunting rifle version
the normal one is... 200 roubles less than prapor
and with the flea fee, they're prbably losing money
Yeah why do they do that
What affects the price of Bitcoin in this game?
how to know if you are a rat?
if you:
-have 6 barkout backpacks full of guns. 2scav bps full of meds. enough armors to protect a village from a nuclear strike. enough ammo to fuel the irenian rebels. and enough food to end world huger.
-only have 5 kills. have an average lifespan of about 30 minutes
-all of the above with only 6 hours of play time no game knowledge and a 1 week old account
YOU ARE A RAT
^there for everyone else like me^
irl bitcoin price
yeah same with the exchange from $ to rubel right?
Wait that’s actually really cool lol
uhum
the game itself is rly cool
ik ;)
if you leave out the part where you spend almost half an hour sneaking from place to place looting every dead body you find and then get fucked by some extract campers
f in chat for the braindead lads who try and sell their bitcoins on flea
Take the IRL bitcoin price, multiply it by 0.2
That's the in game price of bitcoins
^
take the value of it in what?
Us dollars?
Well you convert it to roubles after
I'm stupid don't listen to me
Take the value of it in roubles
Teach me the ways of Ratship 🙇
Ah now I see what you are saying
Multiply it by 0.2 because bitcoins in Tarkov are worth a fifth of what an actual bitcoin is
1btc is like 2.5mil roubles rn though
yea I get it
oh
that works out, then
yes, which is why you multiply it by 0.2
yeah
any one up to help me on woods?
i am no messiah. i just fallow the commandments of our lord general sam. i can for the matter of fact chill in vc where i can preach the word of lord sam on a scav run though
Waiting on my whataburger then I'll be continuing my death lessons on customs..
plus my gf brought me snakos so i am in a great mood
i only do customs for what lord sam said
"thaou shall learn a map by heart. know every nook and kranny of customs before going stright to lab" rephrased by lord sam
I'mma have to watch this guy 😂
hop in customs 21
On phone rn while I partake in garage..
i see. well i shall wait for you because a messiah never gives up on his people
New to keyboard and mouse but have followed tarkov since 2018.Im looking for someone to help me level up from lvl 4 to 10.You can keep all loot and call dibs on anything you need.Ive been doing offline alot also so I know interchange, shoreline really well.
for i will preach the word of lord sam. god of the rats
Offline. Genius!
offline goes against all the teachings of the rat. YOU DONT GET TO KEEP LOOT? YOU ONLY KILL SCAVS??
DISPICABLE
btw... reserve gym is rat hub
it always has been
!sherpa
?sherpa
Hey Team! I'm looking for Sherpa. Do I find one here, or do I go to the "beginners-chat"?
You can go up to the #sherpa-info to get an invite to the Sherpa Hub discord
@silver hornet ticket out of tarkov must be hella expensive then
how am I supposed to find my way around woods
Use compass and waypoints
i cant seem to find any scavs on customs and i just keep on dying to chad pmcs and its kinda pissing me off
?
@silver hornet in lore
Pmc are collecting money to pay their way out
So if 2.5mln which is like 15k usd is not enough. Then idk what is lol
what compass
Compass u get from prapor task
Or u can find in on the woods map
I think
Once u get it. Its yours. U cant lose it
you can get a compass from prapor task. Also map genie has good maps and with some landmarks you can figure out your position pretty easily
I can usually figure out where I am with landmarks, but it takes a while and it's not useful for moving between places
unfortunately map positions take time to learn. You just have to play maps enough to learn em and until then you just got to use a map on the side to reference.
Bitcoins are 34k USD atm
Jeez
hello i am level 7 and i keep dying on customs now i have no money or weapons and i would like to live and get a weapon also to finish my quest to kill scavs i watched videos online but it isnt helping me
why does it seem like my fps is capped to 60 even though it's set to 120?
my framerate doesn't go above 75ish even on minimum settings
and this shouldn't be that hard to run
there is some good guide videos to set that up. I dont have them in front of me but look up tarkov setting guides and they will show you how to uncap and what can cause frames to drop.
I could be CPU bound, but if it only does 60fps on a 3700x, I don't know what's supposed to run it at 120
like
my game looks like this
when do we tell them how unoptimized the game is
I have literally everything turned to the lowest it'll go, at 1080p on a 5700xt
this suggests I'm CPU bound, since my fps is basically unchanged from 1440p medium
but like, a 3700x is a pretty decent cpu
How to setup the best Graphics Settings, NVIDIA Control Panel Settings, PostFX & more to help increase performance, raidse & uncap your Frames Per Second, and reduce stutters in Escape from Tarkov.

Anyone want to team up and help a new-ish USEC guy out
yo are their videos people have for knowing all the PMC spawns or spots to watch spawns because my first 5 raids this wipe have all been instant head eyes by neighbour spawns and I can't seem to locate where people are hiding to kill me right off spawn.
thats what I did for like a year....
I played like a super sketch rat. I dont care about surviving I need xp.
my raids basically this wipe have been 0 xp
I know the maps decently. not player movement
all of them except shoreline and labs. I dont know them
no
mostly interchange and customs, a little reserve
customs is a shitshow
yeah red has been my spawn 3 times today lmao
fucked half my stash from that shite train spawn
Does putting an fp-100 filter in your hideout do anything? Once you hit the dimishing returns cap you cant get any more xp right?
try running usually to construction but bridge is usually popping with shooter born
foreal. just spawn me on factory side ffs
Wtf
Last year some guy with a 3700x and a weaker gpu recorded 100+ fps avg on all the maps
Did the game suddenly get way harder to run or something
did you look up a setting guide or how he had his game set? its very well could be a setting issue and would bet with some tweaking you would be fine.
Settings don't do anything
If you enable v-sync in your Nvidia graphics cards settings; specify this setting only for tarkov not the Global setting
Open Tarkov and Enable V-sync in the games main menu and your frames unlock
I run a 9700k with 32gb of ram with 1060 6gb and hit 80+fps on all maps; lows are 55-65 @tender ridge
this at 1080p with med/low preset ingame
I get basically the same fps at 1440p medium as I do on 1080p minimum
V sync doesn't change my fps
that didnt answer my question. There are more setting then that slider and some reside in nvidia settings. Just take the time to watch like a 5 minute video and id bet you will be able to improve it.
Nvidia graphics card settings? @tender ridge Have you enabled it there and disabled it ingame?
I have an amd card
Tarkov is weird and goodluck because AMD
But it's definitely not gpu bound
Gpu bound would definitely show some improvement by dropping literally all graphics settings
I think AMD has there own dashboard type thing but I cant help you there; I can tell you from evidence experienced from me and numerous people with Nvidia cards when we Enable V-Sync in the Nvidia Graphics cards settings for Tarkov Not GLOBAL then disable it in game; your grames go above 60+ meaning unlocked
I do wish you luck and hope Ive helped someone
what lunar said. There are other factors that are at play not just hardware related.
my fps isn't capped
the game just runs like crap
when I move
or turn
I guess I could try tuning my memory latency, but that seems kind of extreme
well, it was a constant 60ish in woods no matter what settings I ran
even alt-tabbing back into the game drops fps
did you reload each time for each setting or did you just test them without a restart?
haven't restarted the game yet
but lowering settings should reduce gpu load if there's a visual difference
anyways, I'm definitely not gpu bound, so it's probably something to do with cpu
^
yeah, but I'm used to 100+
lower than 60 makes me motion sick
I already have a headache coming on from this
thats bummer then
Just reached lvl 15, but the traders wont update. Already restarted the game. What do?
I can't get it to run above 60 reliably
it only does it in hideout, sometimes
my game also just randomly crashes a lot, though
and it seems to kill other programs while crashing
good evening.
So I just got the game to play with some friends. I have this issue every time I start up a game, with them or alone. I get through the loading process for the match and right as I get to the end of loading I get a server disconnect error. I go back to the main menu and can rejoin with no issues. It is just the first time I try to connect and every time. THoughts?
Best way to find Opthamaloscopes ?
Resort shoreline key w tape 222 east
I've found two at the checkpoint/oupost on Woods.
Anyone know if they made 7n31 lvl 4 Prapor now???
Looks like it
Kinda pissed me off ngl
What are the best early game maps to get good shit
Interchange has been ok when I manage to survive
just do stash runs for quick $$
u don't run into a lot of ppl also
Makes sense. I try to get the electronics
hey, can scavs disappear (or maybe clip around the map)?
I'd second Interchange. You also got an easy extract if you're willing to go without a backpack
what i do when i want to get electronics is go to oli and search all the pcs
(i'm used to scavs being stealthy n shit, but seeing them "disappear" multiple fights, then seeing one blead to its death in the report...)
All three of the big retail stores have offices you can hit up for pc blocks
Fair enough, but I was talking about the graphics cards and phones that sell for a pretty penny.
okay so everybody says using a map on second monitor helps which I could see - but it seems like the wiki maps of customs and woods are outdated right?
i still haven't found a single graphics card so where can u find those lol
Depends which map you're looking at
the wiki dynamic maps
interchange/reserve
They're just rare from any pc
I mean customs says 12.7 so I assume something changed between then and now
maybe i'm lucky, do the maths yourself, but 2 nights ago I've ran maybe 10x interchange, looting Oli's/auchan computers, got 2 gpus
ngl i've probably searched over 125+ pcs and haven't gotten a single one
It's just all down to luck lol
You can craft them in your intel center afaik
gpus are pretty rare
green screen room on Customs / new gas station I've found a few in former and 1 in latter
I think I might've been lucky, but 125 computers isn't "much", that's maybe 30 interchange runs focused on computers
my best guess would be interchange
i also need to still level up cuz rn i'm just loot running when i should be pvping
i'm getting very little xp per run
Texho, Rasmussen, and techlight look on the shelves
tbh i don't care about GPUs, PSUs spawn often and they bring like 100k without taxes
If you want a lot of xp early just do quests if you can
Working my way through the Scav quest in Woods. 7/15 so far
need 2 people to help cheese a quest i will pay each a bitcoin or gpu DM me it will only take one raid
Usually go to the village and make noise. Though last time I got sniped by a pmc who must’ve heard all the shots from me killing 4 scavs
Is there a better way to kill scavs in general?
i started yesterday cuz i was late to wipe and got to level 9 today so not bad i have a full stash and so many fucking screws and bolts
stay late on the maps
anyone that lives in california? please dm me if you do. i have a friend that lives in america and he is thinking of buying the game but i am not sure if we can connect. please dm me if you are.
You've got to stay like 20-30mns on a map if u're aiming to kill scavs for a quest
ofc there's a tradeoff between xp and risk, so I guess the figure will be closer to 20mn than 30
Makes sense
is there no keyboard key/button to auto search item/body upon F, i coulda sworn i see streamers not needing to click on window to search
you've got to let scavs spawn and let PMCs kill each other/get out of the map; e.g. on shoreline you can be thirsting for scavs then get overrun by their spawnrate on the beach
especially true for customs, you can clear scav quests with a scope (4 scav snipers)
idk i was wondering the same thing
im at $600 / $11k Lol,
i might just buy dollars using ruples. so i can get to level 2
I need help with finding Jaeger in the woods, we can discuss a reward if needed on success.
selling Remington Tactical Choke 12ga for gunsmith P1 cheap anyone interested?
Do alot ppl still play thinking of getting it
getting wat?
how does the shoreline boat extract work
As a brand new account should u be running the m4's u get right away or using something else until u learn a bit
Did they just add more things you can craft in hideout or did i level up something? I can now craft a grenade case, kvass water and a few other things i definitely could not craft before today.
Had a successful pistol run on factory and a couple decent scav runs just not sure if the starting m4 is decent and I should run sks a couple times first or something
they added new stuff to craft
M4A1 is a good gun out the box, fires M855 which has good damage and decent pen for a really cheap price and its fully automatic. but if you die with it chances are its not coming back for the most part
cool thanks @summer blaze some of it is interesting. Im glad they added use for the metal fuel tanks now.
im new anyone want to do 1 pmc raid on custom
ikr i use to sell them to therispt since its so useless now its actually worth something'
@summer blaze thanks man ya might use Skype a few times before risking the m4 then I only played a tiny bit last wipe and still have pretty terrible map knowledge
Guys right now I make money by pvp at dorms and marked room. If I have the keys is shorline west wing better profit than just running dorms?
@burnt grail btw the cost of the materials to make the grenade case takes like 480k (not including the 2 fuel cans) and the crafted case only sells about 490k
IMO the m4 sucks stock
like it kicks everywhere and you cant see anything
at least ditch the ironsights
the m4 is an incredible weapon but it needs modding to be good imo
@uncut magnet A cheap gun to run is the Adar which you can trade with a rechargeable battery and u can very easily throw on a holosun sight and have a decent gun
Ya need battery first lol
you need two chains for that barter as well now @uncut magnet
Wait the radar trade?
Ya idk anything about where to look for items or anything yet just trying to survive a raid or 2 ill just keep getting scav kits
yup they changed along side letting you craft the grenade case and all that
Fk that is one hella nerf
its now one rec batt and 2 chains
Is sks not useful?
Ok
U need the yellow one for a sight to be installed
anyone want to join up to help a newcomer out in a raid on customs ??
And prapor doesn't sell the yellow one
Ok thats fine I can work with bad sights
Also the default asks only have a internal mag so u cant reload it quickly only 1 bullet at a time
Sks*
Ya I've heard that I've done alot of research just mostly was wondering if I should try to save the m4's for later or just use em
Since they are new addition to this wipe
RIP my radar.-.
Try them out in offline and see if u can use it or leave them for later
Modding a gun is almost impossible until lvl 10 so most of the time ur gonna be running default guns
True I always forget about that even though its highly recommended to new players
If u wanna rush 10 the fastest way is to do quests
Ya I know need the flea market for buying stuff and linked search and what not
First few dozen quest is pretty simple to run
I didnt make it to 10 last wipe lol
Tbh the only place I kinda understand is factory and customs slightly
Been on interchange once and nowhere else yet
Imo thats the highest skill gap early on
Learning interchange cache runs are great for early $ customs cache run is good too especially since theres a billion quests there
Ya I've heard its good for cash
If u need a map use map genie
Ya got that immediately lol
So far thats the only thing I'm nit a big fan off in the game
I just got a saiga 9 and it won’t let me unload it saying there isn’t space for it
Nvm I’m dumb
Do u have space?
I hadn’t examined it yet
Lol
Btw the saiga 9 is literally a glorified pistol only that it takes up a primary gun slot
When a actual pistol takes 1x2
Yeah I realized I had no way of buying more mags for it so I sold it to the peacekeeper and bought 2 mp5s instead and got ammo and mags for that
which trader buys keys
As a complete noob, what map should I get familiar with first as a PMC?
therapist
i just found a red keycard how much is it worth on the market?
ok thanks
@sonic carbon customs since theres a lot of quests there and theres also caches to loot also interchange cache runs on the outside rim is also a good $ maker
if you want safe, shoreline cache runs are the best
Aight, thank you
yeah, but it takes a lot longer than interchange... and it's not as safe as interchange
can someone sherpa me to the bronze pocket watch?
Im literally so fucking poor and need 2000 more exp to level up to sell all my shit on the auction house
just scav for a gear set
my scav is locked
Im just fucking tired because I have lost 3 chances to get to level 10 by utter and absolute bullshit
it happens bud...
twice to a glitch and a third because looting + getting armor + 2 scavs isnt enough in 6 minutes to count for a "sucessful raid"
yes it is
NOT ACCORDING TO THE GAME
2 scav kills and looting will get you the 600 exp you need to not get a run through
how much exp did you get?
599
oof
twice I exfilled off of woods at the fucking bridge and they wouldnt take my roubles
died from both those runs
you need 3001 roubles for that extract
are
you
fucking
kidding me?
AND THERE GOES MY SCAV
I SPAWNED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A WALL FROM A GUY AND HE HEARD ME RACK MY GUN
wrong person to talk to you, if you are trying to talk to me
Im poor and have nothing
You're upset you died on a scav run?
He's just not having good runs
this 😆
Im upset cause I lost to absolute bullshit when i am dirt poor
but
I can go to bed now, cause I hit level 10
Imma go cry myself to sleep
Reset your account
is that on the website?
^
I just started so its all good
It might need 2 weeks from account start to reset though
i guess i'll find out in a minute
Any NA players want to run a couple raids? Tasks maybe?
i bought game but couldnt install. There is an error named;
"Client.0.12.9.10532.zip" couldn't install.
do you know how can i solve it?
Bear > Usec
which one speaks english?
i was trying to use the voice things for a random teammate and it was all in russian which was not helpful 😦
Usec but Bear has better Scav outfits
Ima go with usec for now then
You wanna squad up?
Can anyone look at my inventory and help me sort it by any chance?
can someone help me for keys for customs not sure which ones i need and dont need i have a screenshot of what i have already where could i post it by chance?
What are you trying to do?
i have no idea just wanted usefull keys not sure which ones are lol
I see. Well, for customs you have a lot of dorm keys, the office key, the marked room key. I recommend you look them up and see what items you can get and see if it's worth it to you.
Sell the "worthless" keys to therapist for money.
still up for some raids?
yessirr
What should I be doing with my rubles?
it's money?
upgrade your hideout
anyone know customs really well who can help me out
Delete it xd
usec is english
basically everyone
What ammo is best to run for sks as a brand new player
looks at all the chads i've one tapped with the standard ps ammo 👀
all of them, bp is recommended, but ps does the job
I’m kinda new and i have 2 questions if anyone can help I would highly appreciate it!
-
I have a mission from Prapor to kill 5 scavs in custom. I have already done this while i was playing a scav game and it didnt work. So do I have to kill 5 scavs as a pmc??
-
I’m trying to find a file of intelligence and I have been checking multiple spawns at reserve with no luck.. I even went in offline mode and visted more than 10 spawns (i did this twice) with absolutely zero luck... So can someone help me with a good source of spawns or tell me the best way to find them!
- Has to be PMC. Couldn't answer your second question.
thank you!
- yes, pmc only for quests
- offline mode has lower spawns than actual raids, you need to remember every spawn in the game is a random chance, sometimes you'll find 3 of what you're looking for, sometimes its none
yea I know I could be getting unlucky, but I would like to see if anyone has updated spawn locations in patch 12.9 because my point of reference rn is a 4 months old youtube video lol
have you extracted from customs successfully since killing those 5 scavs?
no I died
actually it seems like you don't have to extract successfully for that one unless the wiki is wrong again
so did you hand over two mp-133 shotguns too?
you have to kill them as pmc
oh i completely missed that part
yeah you have to do it as a pmc you can't do quests on your scav
you can do quests as scav but only if you have to turn loot into them.
its called raid loot
Buy keys to make more profits
Usec master race 
You can actually just buy the shotgun off jaeger, since jaeger can be unlocked from lv 1 now
With introduction quest from mechanic
