[flat bone]

linked search doesnt work

unless you do it on the celinder

[gritty arrow]

Man, I feel like some of these runs are just a waste of money, this pocketwatch and room of water can get stuffed.

[stray tulip]

wdym?

stuffed as in players?

[bold kernel]

will i be able to play tarkov on a 60% keyboatd?

[zinc fiber]

hated those quests need help?

[gritty arrow]

Oce so latency

Uh less players, more the chokepoints and people actually camping the watch for kill farming

[stray tulip]

[buoyant shale]

[bold kernel]

keep 4 of them for the quest

[buoyant shale]

is it like a future quest?

cuz i dont have it

[bold kernel]

its for therapist

car repair

its annoying as fuck

finding plugs and fucking car batteries found in raid

[buoyant shale]

oh yea speaking of therapist every so often her quests award -loyalty to skier

[bold kernel]

oh

[buoyant shale]

is that something i should be concerned about?

[bold kernel]

not really

when u get a quest to get some docs in woods under a bed

and extract do it for skier

[buoyant shale]

i think thats the one next to the plain too right?

[bold kernel]

like you know the sthurmans place where he spawns?

[buoyant shale]

yea

[bold kernel]

there three huts and under abed u get like 0053 docs

something like that and give it to skier not therapist

[buoyant shale]

i still need to give him armor and shotgun from a raid

i have been ghosting him lol

[bold kernel]

oh

just do scav runs

or just go factory with a gun

[buoyant shale]

thats true

[bold kernel]

kill scavs until u get the item

[buoyant shale]

but anyway i wanna how much are car batteries worth

for storage info

[crude void]

NEED 4 FOR A QUEST EARLY ON

[bold kernel]

lemme check rn

[buoyant shale]

cuz im trynna get a good money per square

[wind gulch]

250k?

last time I check

[buoyant shale]

oh thats a lot

[wind gulch]

but it is heavy tho so

[bold kernel]

im rn in online class im bored as fuck

[buoyant shale]

i feel that

classes starts Monday for me

hopefully i dont fail cuz im addicted to this game xD

[bold kernel]

lol

[blazing heron]

do i need whiskey for any quests?

[buoyant shale]

bro space is such an annoying issue

I already have the dlc too, but I still lack space

and i feel like im playing tetris all the time

what kind of cases can get early game

[wind gulch]

if you have EoD and still have space issues, that's totally on you lol

hoarder

[blazing heron]

i have standard edition lol imagine being me

[wind gulch]

I've played 4 wipes with standard and managed

[vale arrow]

listen it's hard not to hoard if what feels like every second item needs to be found in raid for a quest

[buoyant shale]

i literally go fully stacked all the time

and lose stuff

and i still dont have space

[blazing heron]

@wind gulch i manage but its so hard to keep items for future quests

[wind gulch]

it is but that only forces you to prioritize cases and basic item management

[buoyant shale]

most of my spots are taken by things i can sell in the flea market

which i dont have access to yet

like i have 5 batteries

8 motors

[wind gulch]

you can reach lv 10 in hours lol

just do tasks

[buoyant shale]

thats what im doing im almost there

[wind gulch]

if you really go in stacked everytime then there shouldnt be any problem

[young void]

I wanna sell an opthalmoscope but I don't see any listings on the flea market so how rare are they and what would be a reasonable price?

[near wave]

100k

[young void]

aight

[median edge]

can someone show em a cheap m4a1 build

[stiff mortar]

Can somebody help me with the first ragman quest? I dont know interchange and I always get lost even with a map

[acoustic falcon]

if you don't plan on using it in the next couple raids sell it to vendors. i say this but i have about 20 guns sitting in my stash with no room either 😦

[silver swan]

whats the best map to learn after customs?

[near wave]

reserve @silver swan

[tawdry shard]

+1

[silver swan]

sweet thanks

[tawdry shard]

i need someone to help me with therapist quests and a skier quest on customs though

[vale arrow]

which ones?

[tawdry shard]

golden swag, pharmacist and operation aquarius

[wind gulch]

wot are you under lv 10 lol

[tawdry shard]

nope im lvl 25 and havent done tasks xD

[wind gulch]

wtf have you been doing lol

[near wave]

killing

[tawdry shard]

^ killing and hideout

[vale arrow]

mans out murdering people

[near wave]

commiting first degree murder

on a hatchling

[wind gulch]

freaking savage

[tawdry shard]

i have 5 quests on customs 😛

[vale arrow]

i spare hatchlings that voice line me and i feel like a saint everytime I do

[tawdry shard]

well, i guess its time for tasks

[wind gulch]

i mean again those are dorm quests, just come there super early if you have good spawn, or late when everybody already left

and you're good

just bring some roubles for taxi

[near wave]

last time i was friendly to a hatchling he tried shooting me in the head but because the ZSH IS A REALLY GOOD HELMET i survived and killed him

[vale arrow]

i had a hatchling shoot me and run out of ammo and then voice line me

he then dropped an ifak so I can heal the damage he did to me

[tawdry shard]

i have to go in with an altyn all the time because ive got shitty luck and always get smacked in the face, so altyn is awesome

[vale arrow]

and ran away

[ember schooner]

That reminded me of some guy who started bobbing at me mid-game... Then started chucking all his loot on the floor... I got sus over this thinking he had something really good he didn't want to give me as well, so I shot him in the head 😂

[near wave]

oof

[stray tulip]

If you are level 10+ / eu & 18+ looking for guidance shoot me a pm!

[mellow flint]

Anyone EU with Machinery Key and 206 Key (Aquarius)? Need a hand as I just can't find the keys. ._.

[wind gulch]

You can buy them from Flea. Should be pretty cheap right now.

machinery key has a spawn in dorms

206 is 5k roubles

[mellow flint]

I am lvl 8

And I only run for file links and jackets since two days to find those keys.

[wind gulch]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Machinery_key

"Inside of the brown Jacket in room 205 of the three-story dorm building."

pretty sure it is a 100% spawn

or a very high rate

[mellow flint]

Hmm kay, gonna try that.

Only went through random jackets so far.

[wind gulch]

just shoot some scavs on the way , get the key, do the quest, you should be lv 10 by then

I had to buy the 206 key backthen

[slow sleet]

Wiah I could help but I'm NA

[bright apex]

[unborn coral]

Does anyone have 216 west wing and want to help out a fellow tarkovian ?

[smoky wing]

@bold kernel too op i guess

I got mad too

Bought 10 of them just before the nerf 😩

Give me my money back nikita

[slow sleet]

Maybe your money was not worth enough so they nerfed :o

[smoky wing]

They basically took 4 of my vaselines

Lmao

[slow sleet]

RIP

[shell sable]

how did they nerf it?

[smoky wing]

Welll guess ibuprofen it is

@shell sable it has now 6 uses instead of 10

[pallid kettle]

Why is my screen so grey?

[slow sleet]

Well you see I can see one issue....might not be your issue.... lol

[mossy gyro]

hmmm

idk...

[tranquil glacier]

check postfx

[thin sundial]

Hello can anyone please play with me? i feel like im always dying as pmc but im doing pretty good as scav

am eu

[smoky wing]

@thin sundial yo. We have a group and we usually play in the evening. You can hit me up and if we have a spot u can play with us

We usually run 4 or 5 man group

[median trellis]

@pallid kettle i can give my Post FX settings if you want, they are for pvp not immersion

[thin sundial]

cool, ill hit you up if i can play, ty

when in the evening?

[smoky wing]

Hmm depends. Would say from 6 pm onwards

[agile vigil]

@median trellis can you send a ss ?

[thin sundial]

why cant i unfold my AK? it has a folding stock

[median trellis]

take the sight off of it and it should fold

[agile vigil]

take the scope off

[median trellis]

or rubber pad

[waxen idol]

send send send

[thin sundial]

ty

[waxen idol]

[agile vigil]

holy moly

100 brightness

xDDD

[median trellis]

not for everyone, i recommend trying them in an offline raid first too see how they look

[agile vigil]

i would be blind with 100 brightness xD

[ashen juniper]

anyone scav run on reserve

[median trellis]

tarkov has very dark corners so i just max it to see in buildings, for luma sharpen if you are on woods day then just put it at 0

[agile vigil]

this is what i use

and is perfect for pvp and for dark corners

also i used the settings in the gpu as well

wrong pic

this one xD

[steady void]

why si there no ooption like pasue when updating

[drifting jolt]

You can also adjust your monitors gamma and saturation too, gamma specifically helps with brightness, saturation with color

[idle pasture]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/kx5jcj/traders_refuse_to_level_up_despite_meeting_all/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

these mf tarkov mods are censoring me

for an issue?

[near wave]

because all you gotta do

is sell something to them

OR

go into a raid

OR

restart your game

it happens a lot

[lapis oracle]

what's a decent body armour(I have Ragman lvl2)?

[near wave]

6b3tm

the armored rig

helped me through labs a lot

[lapis oracle]

what about the other one you unlock is it any decent?

[near wave]

the 80hp one?

its ok

good if ur just ratting about

like on reserve

[idle pasture]

not keith did you read the post

fuckhead

[near wave]

NO I FUCKING DIDNT

[idle pasture]

i tried all that

[near wave]

hmm

[idle pasture]

on coutless occasions

[lapis oracle]

seems weird

can others lvl up

[idle pasture]

yep

[near wave]

ohh

[idle pasture]

therapist and peacekeeper

[near wave]

you got ur post removed

[idle pasture]

yep

[near wave]

cause someone else posted it wtf

[lapis oracle]

only prapor?

[near wave]

thats such a weird thing

[idle pasture]

but that got deleted

the other post got removed aswell

[smoky wing]

@lapis oracle as Keith said

[near wave]

that should show to the devs that ithis is a common issue

and instead of removing them

[smoky wing]

The TM rat rig

Is the best tier 4 you can buy

[near wave]

they should actually do something

[smoky wing]

For the price/quality

[near wave]

i've been playing for 2 years

and i got that glitch every time

and yet still

nothing has been done

[smoky wing]

@near wave i had many bugs lately

With comtacs

[near wave]

i dont run comtacs

[smoky wing]

My friends were ducking for cover

And i couldnt hear a shot

[near wave]

oh yeah

that is a glitch that i have had

[smoky wing]

Especially on interchange

[near wave]

usually fixes when you put on heavy helmet that blocks hearing

[smoky wing]

When I'm ground floor

[near wave]

its weird

[smoky wing]

I cant hear anything above me

[near wave]

yea that has been happening to me recently

[smoky wing]

So i run gssh now lol

[near wave]

dont remember it happening in the past

[smoky wing]

Yeah me neither

Which is sad cuz comtacs are my favourite

I have IRL comtacs 2 as well

And love them

[near wave]

dude

[idle pasture]

you special ed

or something

[near wave]

i remember when the blue headphones were the best

what freak

[idle pasture]

need comtacs for school

[near wave]

lmao

[smoky wing]

I use them for mil-sim. Which is my hobby/additional work.

[idle pasture]

airsoft?

i live in aus

they need to add molotovs to this game

for capers

[near wave]

^^

dude the amount of times before i found rr this wipe on reserve i get extract camped trying to do the bunker quests is mad

its just rats with 5.7

[smoky wing]

Lol yesterday i went with Vpo semi automatic 7.62 for memes

I have encountered 2 rats with 5.7

I killed them and they hit me maybe one time... yikes

[near wave]

mhm makes sense

[smoky wing]

They had 400k worth of loot

[barren trellis]

What’s a 5.7?

The p90?

[smoky wing]

Not only 2 five sevens. But also 10 mags filled with ss190 ammo

@barren trellis 5.7 has 2 meanings

Ammo type 5.7 mm

Or a pistol name.
Called
Five-seven

[barren trellis]

Oh didn’t know there was one called that lol.

Is either good? I hear people talk about it often

[smoky wing]

There is and its amazing

But crazy expensive

[barren trellis]

What’s expensive. The ammo or the gun?

[near wave]

ammo

gun is 22k

[smoky wing]

ye ammo

[broken oyster]

How come I get the same spawn 20 times in a row? Shouldnt the spawning be random?

[upbeat elk]

Trying to figure out the difference between all the 7.62 AKs. All guides on youtube are 2yrs old. Have the AKs changed in that time period or should i still be looking at the guides?

[smoky wing]

well Trak to be honest

depends on what are you looking for

if u are looking for best budget ak 7.62

then its AKMS for sure

[barren trellis]

Lol spawns suck. When going to woods for a quest. Spawns me as far away as possible. When going for scav kills. Spawns me next to convoy. Gg

[smoky wing]

akms stock is rly good for a ... stock version

and u can add a butt pad for like 3-4k that adds another -5% recoil

[near wave]

u on customs?

[broken oyster]

Yup

[near wave]

yea spawns broken

if u load in fast you spawn next to everyone else

so if you have a hard drive u are so lucky in a way

cause you get good spawns and everyone else is dying at big red

[smoky wing]

lmao Keith its soo anoying

we did 5 man scav run

all but 1 of our friends have SSD

so 4 of us spawned in one area

meanwhile our friend spawn half of the map away

[near wave]

yea i feel that

[smoky wing]

i love that dude but he is sooo unlucky

every sniper, every mine, every random nade

always kill him

[near wave]

i have an nvme so while i load in scav reserve i already cleared half the map and died to gluhkar before my friend even got in

[smoky wing]

we killed 2 chads

4 of us got the gear we extracting

1s left on the clock

guess who got sniped?

that guy

and he is like level 3 with 100k Roubles left

i think he has the "tagged and cursed" but for PMCS lol

[near wave]

lmaoo

[smoky wing]

he brought in Full gear

level 4 armour level 3 helmet

got Head eyes by a first scav with makarov lmao

[near wave]

oh no...

[smoky wing]

the scav had only a makarov

nothing else

i think i will bring him 200k roubles or something

[midnight forum]

any quick ideas where a sparkplug spawn si

[smoky wing]

just go Oli

or interchange

in general

this map has bilions of toolboxes

and loot on shelves

best map to get any industrial items i think

[near wave]

reserve white queen area

that also has graphics cards and tetriz

and AESA

[smoky wing]

interchange also have thoser

those.

nice spawn if u go the texho and techland route

[midnight forum]

thank you lads

[smoky wing]

if u are EU

i can help you out

or willing to play EU 🙂

[broken oyster]

So I should uninstall the game and download it on my harddrive?

[blazing heron]

can you wear armored rig for jaegers task where you have to kill 5 scavs without body armour

?

[near wave]

ehh

no

just uh

dont play customs for now

OR

play it on night time

less people

easier to farm quests

as everyone is going for the cultists or dorms

[young sandal]

Why cant I fold a weapon with folding stock. Looks like an folding stock and even says it on the name?

[smoky wing]

probably a scope or something blocking the folding

[young sandal]

No option when right clicking and middle mouse button doesnt work either

[smoky wing]

certain mods will block the ability to fold the gun

[young sandal]

its a barebone SA-58

with a folding stock

[barren trellis]

What is cultists

[near wave]

like scav boss in a way but only appear on woods, shoreline and customs between midnight and 3am

they have knives that have poison and if you get stabbed you are fucked unless you have an antidote

if you get poisoned you extract ASAP

[barren trellis]

Oh interesting.

Yeah I don’t play at night. Can’t see anything. Maybe my graphics are set up wrong.

[near wave]

there are videos to help with that

[stiff mortar]

can somebody help me with interchsnge first quest

I looked up alot of videos and maps but i always die

[ancient niche]

hey everyone! lvl 8, would love to help uest or just loot. not new to fps at all and have good game sense

@ancient niche yes

[ancient niche]

Thank you! Didn't want to intrude on a party is all.

[idle pasture]

i cant put it in a bag and give to people?

[near wave]

nope

donjt think so

[idle pasture]

tf

[near wave]

i tried dropping it

and shit

only way you can remove it is by putting it alone in stash

cant place in bags and shit

i mean u can try

didnt work for me

[idle pasture]

my game is bugged anyway and traders wont level

[near wave]

oof

[idle pasture]

should i give someone a mini heart attack

by running in with scav junk box

full of loot

[near wave]

lmao you wouldnt be running

[idle pasture]

xd

[near wave]

they see you slowly turning round the corner

[idle pasture]

who wants the junk box tho

and docs with like over 1 mil of keys

[near wave]

i mean

ill take it :)

need somewhere to put my btc

[idle pasture]

how long have you been playing

[near wave]

if someone else wants it tho give it to them

[idle pasture]

i wanna give it to a standard edition

[near wave]

cause ive been on for 2 years

ye exactly

go begginer chat

seems to be more people there

@idle pasture

[idle pasture]

yeah

im from aus tho

and theyre mostly americans

[near wave]

faor

fair*

[amber osprey]

Does anyone wanna trade found in raid toz for full car battery? Cant find toz on scavs ive killed like 40 of them

[broken oyster]

U cant receive FIR items from other players

[cosmic tinsel]

that's terrible luck. i feel like every scav i kill has toz and they're not worth anything to me now 😦

was f-1 nerfed?

[near wave]

Idk

[spare cedar]

how can i fix this?

[atomic tusk]

Best way to make 3.5 mil fast?

[spare cedar]

customs marked room and safe runs

[atomic tusk]

Question 2: how do I escape dorms alive?

[spare cedar]

have a gun and hope no rashala

or reserve

[near wave]

Go night time

[near wave]

Restart game or sell something or go into a rair

[spare cedar]

sselling worked omg

(tryhard)

xD

[radiant beacon]

Anyone also level 5-10? Tryna look for a duo partner, US region.

[steep carbon]

Does anyone know how I can get support from battlestate? I have emailed several times and have received no replies. Basically I purchased the game a few years ago and now no longer have access to that email. I actually deleted the hotmail account and want to play but am trying to avoid rebuying.

[spare cedar]

ummm

[cedar sierra]

gone

[fast lintel]

is this good enough to get the 5 scav kills?

[cedar sierra]

reduced to ashes

[fast lintel]

the pistol

[cosmic tinsel]

the scout mission from mechanic gives 2 bitcoin worth over 1mil, do low risk cache runs on shoreline or customs, most of all just avoid dying, avoid fights at all costs, and get out as soon as you get stuff worth selling

[atomic tusk]

@cosmic tinsel ty, is scout the shoreline antenna one or is it after?

[cosmic tinsel]

battlestate launcher mentioned they're overloaded and it takes like a week for them to get back to you. anecdotally it seems that asking for help on reddit may be a good way to get their attention as the staff keeps a bit of an eye on it

[strong jolt]

what are SAS drives for currently?

[cosmic tinsel]

its called "scout" i think, its finding the exfils on factory

[cosmic tinsel]

https://tarkov-market.com/

[atomic tusk]

Ok, so I still need to unlock it, probably after the antenna quest

[cosmic tinsel]

probably. you could try and do antennas and a cache run at the same time to optimize

i think low level gunsmith quests probably pay out more than they cost now, too, now that the market has relaxed a little

[strong jolt]

@cosmic tinsel not sure why you linked that

[cosmic tinsel]

oh, you meant what are they used for?

[strong jolt]

I'm asking what they're used for

yeah

[atomic tusk]

They do not, at leas root as of a couple days ago

[cosmic tinsel]

grinding peacekeeper spending, @strong jolt

[strong jolt]

yeah that's the only thing I could think of

seems weird

[cosmic tinsel]

they have no other use per wiki

theres several items like that that only have value to the traders

BSG has been good about trying to add bartrs

[frosty pollen]

Guys im stuck

Near helicopter at Reserve

[mighty shoal]

is molot vpo a bolt action ?

[cosmic tinsel]

yes

[mighty shoal]

ty

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm using it to grind sniper rank on shoreline right now

[frosty pollen]

There where you have to prone to loot dead man

[crude orbit]

easiest route for xp? i'm quite literally unable to manage on maps like customs b/c i dont know extracts and directions. Shoreline is really the only map i have a sense of direction on. I want to unlock the compass ASAP.

[cosmic tinsel]

stick to shoreline, crush the cache rotation, avoid combat

you get decent xp from looting, and dying halves your xp

[rich cloak]

@crude orbit no route for exp , any map is good (outside of woods) most exp for new players comes from looting and the 50% bonus when extracting

[slow sleet]

Factory naked run with m9a3

Easy profit easy loot

[rich cloak]

Clown

[crude orbit]

its kinda hard for me to manage as a pmc but i get out like 20% of the time

[rich cloak]

Focus on survival to get more exp, you don't need to make a fat profit every raid remember that

Don't be too aggressive and focus on looting

[crude orbit]

generally my goal is to kill enough scavs to get a solid weapon and some loot from them and then extract

[rich cloak]

That's valid too

But entails a higher risk for lower exp gain

[crude orbit]

usually i get 3-4 scavs before i leave

oh yeah also

[rich cloak]

Which is 400 exp ? Maybe 600 with headshots

[crude orbit]

how bad is bullet drop in this game?

[rich cloak]

@crude orbit the game looks at actual ballistics so it depends on the ammo you use

When you use a adjustable scope you can use page up and page down to zero your weapon to certain ranges

[crude orbit]

i find myself missing alot of lined up headshots with bolt action rifles

[rich cloak]

That depends on how far way you are

[cosmic tinsel]

it's a bit more dramatic than actual ballistics is my understanding

[rich cloak]

^

[crude orbit]

think i should aim a little high?

[rich cloak]

But it's not crazy you'll get the feel for it I'm time

What ranges are we talking here?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah. you can press page up and page down to change the sighting range

[tacit galleon]

@crude orbit it all depends on distance and your zero

[crude orbit]

eh, ~100m

[cosmic tinsel]

it should not make a huge difference at 100M

with most full caliber rounds, if you aim top of head you'll still hit head

[rich cloak]

What gun are you using?

[cosmic tinsel]

sub caliber stuff would require a zero or maybe aiming a head higher

[crude orbit]

sv

[rich cloak]

What scope ?

[cosmic tinsel]

sv-98?

svds?

[crude orbit]

yeah, not sure the scope rn

sv98

[rich cloak]

1p59 ?

[crude orbit]

ill go check one sec

[cosmic tinsel]

7.62x54r is a fast round... really shouldnt need to change account for bullet drop at 100 meters

[rich cloak]

Usually you should be fine to just aim at the head at that range yeah

Problems arise with slower rounds like the vss

Some players swear on never using the zeroing feature some allways do

[cosmic tinsel]

there are... issues with the zeroing features

[crude orbit]

this

[rich cloak]

Oh

Good scope

Usually when using a 7.62x54rYou don't have to go for headshots btw.

I like keeping my zero at 50 and aiming for the forehead

It either hits the head or it will hit the chest

With proper ammo it's a win-win scenario

[sterile vessel]

m9a3 op on factory

even without good ammo

just boom headshot dead

alot of ppl dont have visors on factory

just head eyes them

[rich cloak]

Bro

Why

This is horrible advice and you know it

"just onetap everyone"

[odd hazel]

Is there a skill that reduces weapon sway, its been hard getting used to it

[crude orbit]

alt helps a bit

[odd hazel]

Holding alt?

[crude orbit]

i think you press it once but im not sure

i just know it makes you hold your breath and stabilizes your aim

[rich cloak]

You can hold your breath with alt

For a shirt time that is

It's a toggle that needs to be refreshed

[slow sleet]

He is correct, if they got a visor thank God u brought ap rounds.

[sterile vessel]

Your stupid lol, that’s the best advice, aim for the head on factory

[slow sleet]

M9a3 is god.

[sterile vessel]

^

[hearty walrus]

Where should i sell intelligence? flea or therapist

[rich cloak]

Sure thing bud

[slow sleet]

Dragon u prob a guy I killed with the m9a3 in a group and just mad.

[rich cloak]

Keep one for intel center and then compare prices

[slow sleet]

I clean factory

[rich cloak]

You should also check if you need more milk ney spent on therapist which is usually not the case

[hearty walrus]

I have spent 6 mill at therapist she is almost level 3. And is the intel center in the hideout?

[rich cloak]

Yes

[hearty walrus]

Ah okay I haven’t really worked on it. I have everything level 1 but that’s about it

[hearty walrus]

Ah okay I haven’t really worked on it. I have everything level 1 but that’s about it

[rich cloak]

Intel center is a pretty cheap upgrade that makes you a bunch of extra money in the long run

[hollow halo]

@slow sleet you repost the same pics over and over

lol

[slow sleet]

Hell yeah I do

I just forget to snapshot end game kills to my buddy after each game, because I rush for next run. So I'm out of content :c

[sterile vessel]

:c

get more content then

lol

[slow sleet]

It's just so much fun

Spades message me, so I snapshot to you lmfao

[rich cloak]

[sterile vessel]

alr lol

[rich cloak]

Let me correct that for you" Why do people bother running factory?"

[dire rock]

quests and MEMES

thats factory

[rich cloak]

Not the right chat guys

[dire rock]

tru

[stark pumice]

how do you access the settings while having windowed on

[rich cloak]

Escape probably ?

[stark pumice]

no

you cant

why are the settings on the bottom

[rich cloak]

Have you tried alt+enter ?

[silver hornet]

let me guess, your resolution is off?

yeah try alt+enter

[stark pumice]

wtf

thanks

[rich cloak]

Should send you to full screen

It's a classic windows command 👍

[stark pumice]

thanks bro

👍

[rich cloak]

Happy to help

[bold kernel]

anyone thats under lvl 10 wanna run some tasks in 20 minutes or so?

[lusty glacier]

is it a bad idea to use IDEA rig in terms of how visible i become?

[rich cloak]

It's not great but a good player will probably spot you either way

[lusty glacier]

just for pistol run or smth

[lunar silo]

heyo lads, just had a 3k in dorms and got out alive, but a realised a flaw. I'm not sure what to actually loot from players.

What items should I prioritise in looting other than weapons and armour? I find myself just trying to shove anything I can into my inventory which doesn't help considering I don't know what most items are worth off the top of my head 😄

what items does that tend to be?

[stoic plover]

Depends how you play tbh. I would rather have another piece of t4/t5 armor than say a cat if I was pushing customs dorms over and over.

[lunar silo]

aye, but I'm trying to get money and xp rn

and i just dont know how much the small items are worth

[stoic plover]

customs dorms is crap money if you're new :L

[lunar silo]

not when you get a 3k and get korund

pog

[stoic plover]

yeah but its literally marked key, pvp, possible raiders

normal loot is garbo unless you have all the safe keys

[lunar silo]

also, wheres the spawn for the bronze pocket watch?

need to do that quest

oh to open the truck

okay gotcha

nah, a friend does though

he was meant to drop it for me in the raid where I got the 3k, but all 3 of my mates died

xd

was satisfying to kill dorm campers tho

killed two that were there before us, looted them [they killed two of us] we got pushed by another 2, I killed that one then the other ran cus i lit him up lol

then i got out thru v-exit

i was sad bc my chest was black

so i couldnt even risk staying and trying to max loot bc i was one shot

there were like 3 players with korund but i could carry one korund and that was it lmao

you cant heal black chest with cms

ye xd

not when you only have 500k ;-;

[cosmic tinsel]

korunds are great armor when you're low

slap em on your pmc, dont carry the rest

there are a ton of exceptions to that

[stoic plover]

you keep talking about little per square in customs dorms bro...

[cosmic tinsel]

gzhel and slick are the first two i think of

[stoic plover]

carrying armor there is 100% worth if you find a hex off a player

[cosmic tinsel]

both gonna be well more than 10k/slot

[silver hornet]

my line of thought; if the armor isn't worth 10k per slot, I'm not taking it

[cosmic tinsel]

if FiR its gonna be some of the best stuff you can carry

[naive depot]

gzhel and slick are gonna be way different in value are they not?

[cosmic tinsel]

ghzels are like 110k fresh for 9slot

[naive depot]

i think you'd be able to get more out of 9 slots than a gzhel

[cosmic tinsel]

slicks 3x+ that

10k/slot is a great target

[stoic plover]

like on reserve/interchange? ye dont take that crap. on customs why are you money running customs in the first place

[cosmic tinsel]

100%, but my point is only "its sometimes worth to take armor because some armor has decent value/slot"

[unique quarry]

Is the only PMC spawn on customs by big red. I never spawn anywhere else and always get nailed because people spawn way too close. Im gettin sick of it

I always get big red and im getting tapped by people spawning nearby

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm not sure this is beginner friendly advice lol

[topaz shard]

hey can anyone start a call with me i have a full inventory and dont know what to sell

[stoic plover]

You can make 700k by safes/stashes...which is what I said earlier the map itself is shit for beginners

[gloomy glade]

When I spawn near big red I hide for about 5 mins gives me a chance to move lol

[stoic plover]

You're better off ratting interchange as a beginner

[cosmic tinsel]

customs is a great map with a ton of loot and great pvp landscaping

but what casualstroll said is right... better interchange, better shoreline cache runs

[stoic plover]

customs is literally the least complicated map in the game

[obtuse vale]

how do i level up my loyalty after getting the requirements?

[rich cloak]

Customs got a lot better with the Expansion

@obtuse vale quests

[obtuse vale]

i mean level

not loyalty

how do i level therapist from lvl 1 to 2

after meeting all the requirements

[silver hornet]

spend around 50k or so more with Therapist, that should fix it

[obtuse vale]

it says every single one of them is blue

[severe river]

This is a DT MDR with a Valday Scope and a laser. When I aim with 1X, I can see the laser. Is there any way to get something like a cobra mount on it or to get an adapter to place the laser elsewhere? I also don't mind what laser, either red or blue is fine.

[rich cloak]

No

[cosmic tinsel]

yes

rails on the foregrip

[rich cloak]

No dovetail

[cosmic tinsel]

the laser doesnt have to go on top rail

[rich cloak]

Restart the game and you should be good to go

[obtuse vale]

ok il try it ty

[rich cloak]

Ye

There's also special flat lights that can be placed on the top of you have some of those around

[cosmic tinsel]

that is one of the flat lights

its not flat enough for the valday

combined materials

expensive as heck to repair

i agree its a good value but i think thats the reason why

[split pivot]

looking for someone to help me do some quests

[cosmic tinsel]

thats pretty good

tv rigs better imo

tv-110

[silver hornet]

0-45, you might as well not wear armor

[cosmic tinsel]

it doesnt cover stomach but its cheaper to buy and repair

less to repair

more durability

[obtuse vale]

didnt work

[cosmic tinsel]

same slots

doesnt waste durability protecting your stomach (admittedly with all the leg meta now the stomach protection worth a little more)

yeah do what works for you

bc its hilarious

and hilarious scavs are fantastic

[dire rock]

the AIs dont seem to have a problem

[obtuse vale]

i saw on wiki theres a trade with the therapist for docs case and i cant see it, am i wrong?

[rich cloak]

0-45 means you have basically no protection left

[obtuse vale]

am i supposed to do a praticular mission to see it or something

[rich cloak]

You only get full class 4 armor when at max durability

As in 70/70

@obtuse vale usually not

[proper fox]

I think you need a higher loyalty level

[rich cloak]

Its

Don't know the exact numbers

[obtuse vale]

it says lvl 2 loyalty

[rich cloak]

Run another road

*raid

Maybe by then

[obtuse vale]

my trade window hasent changed aswell

[cosmic tinsel]

why not run 6B3TM

and a bigger backpack

thats a bunch cheaper too

if you love avs run avs

heck yeah

fair nuff

[proper fox]

Did you just obtain level 2?

[mighty shoal]

can i only not kill sanitar while this quest is active?

oh ok so i can kill him now that i dont have the quest?

ty

[obtuse vale]

yes

[proper fox]

I could be wrong, but i feel like you might have to wait until something updates for it to show. I wanna say it updates once an hour

[cosmic tinsel]

its always gone thru instantly for me

[proper fox]

Oh then idk

[polar current]

is the 5.45x39 Igolnik worth running if I have some bullets for it already or should I go to BS for 3 more flesh damage?

[shell sable]

Iglonik ❤️ ❤️

[dry wing]

^

flesh damage is only good for shooting legs or face

also arms^

[cosmic tinsel]

ignolnik/bs feels like a lot of bullet this early in wipe

[polar current]

I killed some guy with a 500k AK and 90 rounds of igolnik so imma just keep it

[shell sable]

and head if no helmet or faceshield

[cosmic tinsel]

heck yeah

[dry wing]

tru

[polar current]

I always run BS ammo in a AK-74M it literally destroys anyone I come across lol

[cosmic tinsel]

my argument is certainly not "bs ammo wont kill people" 😉

[polar current]

I just feel like the BT ammo is too low

for pen

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah dude you gotta do what works for you

i just jumped from PP to BT

i feel like im still not seeing much 5/6 armor yet

[polar current]

screw it imma run the igolnik

[cosmic tinsel]

but if BT isnt working for you then fsure run the ammo that you like

[rich cloak]

I feel like igolnik is a bit much atm but you do you

[dry wing]

I run it all the time as a solo on night runs

[polar current]

well idk if it works for me or not I just saw that BS ammo had 51 pen and I was like "oh ill just use that"

[polar current]

ill save it then

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah dude

they're great bullets

they're very expensive, very great bullets

[rich cloak]

Igolnik is what you use if you are sure to encounter heavy armour like killa

[polar current]

ill just urn BS then

*run

[rich cloak]

Bs is good

Also on the better end

Wrong chat buddy

[cosmic tinsel]

tarkov shooter

[uneven ember]

@dry wing Flesh damage is useless for shooting the face. And that is such an oversimplification.

[cosmic tinsel]

kill pmcs with a bolty at less than 15 meters iirc

[dry wing]

thats what I said?

i ment if they dont have a face sheild

[polar current]

I like running BS ammo also because every time I kill someone its always because I just shoot them in the thorax and their armor goes to 0 instantly lol

[rich cloak]

Back in the day igolnik had sub 35 flesh damage as far as i remember

[uneven ember]

'flesh damage is only good for shooting legs or face'

[dry wing]

if they dont have a face sheild it dont matter

[uneven ember]

You may want to fix your initial statement then

@rich cloak Now I am pretty sure you are not correct but I will take your word for it

[polar current]

how much pen do I need for each armor tier?

[uneven ember]

Asides ammo advice from alpha days is utterly different to now.

[dry wing]

@polar current check the balistics tarkov guide

if you need the link I can send

[polar current]

because I only run into people with level 4 armor and it seems like im overdoing it according to you guys

[polar current]

yes

[dry wing]

kk sec

[uneven ember]

divide the pen of a bullet by 10 and it will give you an approximation of the armour it deals with

because they dont like the quality. Its a very utilitarian headset

[polar current]

huh bt ammo seems to really mess up level 4 armor as well

[dry wing]

aim for the head brother

[polar current]

maybe I have been over doing it running bs ammo every run :/

[rich cloak]

No

[polar current]

always do ;)

yea I have defintely been splurging on ammo that I dont need XD

[uneven ember]

@polar current Dont buy the best bullets til mid wipe. It is often redundant. Actually buy them but dont use until you start encountering higher tier players.

Buying high tier ammo early is good as its always cheaper early wipe

[rich cloak]

Like o said its on the upper end of 545 @polar current

[cosmic tinsel]

i... personally have been hoarding all of my bs, igolnik, 762 BP, m61, etc

762 bp is a bit of a debatable one, i just dont run 762 very much

so i've got an ammo box full of it

[rich cloak]

I like 762 BP a lot

[cosmic tinsel]

great round. not inappropriate to run because PS is a little weak

[rich cloak]

But let get back in topic fellas

[cosmic tinsel]

the topic was "should i use this ammo", no?

[rich cloak]

It was but I think it's done

[dry wing]

i mean it was about ammo so it deff was on topic lmao

[polar current]

lmao im looking at this chart and I way over do it early wipe holy crap

[uneven ember]

@rich cloak the topic is not finished lol

[cosmic tinsel]

im fuckin rollin

[polar current]

I run 120 rounds of bs ammo on every map rn :/

I can see my mistake with this chart

[uneven ember]

run BT dude

[polar current]

yea im going to use BT for now

[uneven ember]

bp 545 is abit underwhelming

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah. PP is a GREAT ammo early wipe when BT is inflated, its almost as good as BP for 1/3 the price

[dry wing]

@polar current you could bring 2 mags of good ammo and 1/2 of decent ammo and keep some extra BS in your alpha case

[cosmic tinsel]

and then i hop to bp, then igol/bs which i feel are about interchangeable

[uneven ember]

@cosmic tinsel Good point but this is abit late for pp

[rich cloak]

60 round mags are a scam

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah i mentioned earlier i swapped. PP was great for the first week

[floral hare]

new player here, would anyone like to join me and help me understand the game a bit more ?

[polar current]

I normally need to run 4 because I like to pvp alot

[cosmic tinsel]

not for CQC

that said, the way i play i do not bring 60 rounders because i prefer open areas

[polar current]

LMAO BT ammo is so much cheaper

money saved lol

[cosmic tinsel]

im glad!

plus you get to shoot cool lookin tracers and do a lightshow

it is not good but it is fun

[polar current]

dude I used to pay upwards of 100k for ammo per run @cosmic tinsel

now im paying like 20k

ty

[cosmic tinsel]

🤮

you got it

[rich cloak]

I feel like this could have been avoided by a bit of critical thought

[slow sleet]

M9a3 is god, bow to the god.

[polar current]

I literally had no idea BT ammo was that good for level 4-5

[rich cloak]

Haha

[polar current]

hopefully I still melt people with BT :(

[slow sleet]

Idk what helmet I picked up my last game last night but it was lvl 3 looks all metal pretty cool lookin tbh, sold for 100k on fleamarket. But it saved me three times lol

[silver hornet]

probably the Ronin

[slow sleet]

I got headshot 3 times in that run, and the bullets just ricochet off.

Does the ronin got cool lookin eyes?

[silver hornet]

yeah he's talking about the Ronin

the airsoft mask lol

[slow sleet]

Ronin is my fav helmet now

What do you mean!

I get shot all I heard was ringing. My buddy was laughing because it looked like I was staggering drunks lmfao

He didnt know wtf was going on until the basterd rushed into the room and got blown away by my bud shotgun

Cant be luck

[cosmic tinsel]

its luck + angle of impact

[polar current]

@cosmic tinsel thank you BT ammo is definitely good enough https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/721114566368559114/798592759086841856/unknown.png

[cosmic tinsel]

😍

[slow sleet]

That shit saved me 3 fuckjn times in one run with 3 diffrent people, 2 pmc and prob an ai scav

It was hectic tho

[rich cloak]

#beginners-chat

[slow sleet]

Kill the first pmc after he shot me, looted him, his buddy storms into the room shoots my fucjing head, I spam hipfired him with my m9, killed him. Played risky went into hall some to loot that bastered. Scav shoots me so I back into the room all dazed up

[rich cloak]

[dry wing]

m9a3 OP

It is not

ok mr moderator

and has been obsolete since the creation of the sherpahub

[slow sleet]

Killed 5 durability from the helmet:c

[slow sleet]

^ why u here then bud. You new? I doubt it

[cosmic tinsel]

just ignore no need to be confrontational we all here to help and be helped

[dry wing]

fr

[cosmic tinsel]

theres enough challenges in tarkov already without fightin each other here too 😉

is there a good way to find marked keys?

they're beginning to quest gate me and i dont want to shell out 700k

yeah, ive been hitting jackets... guess i'll keep it goin

[dry wing]

i just ended up buying one ;/

[cosmic tinsel]

appreciate the offer - one of my irl friends has one, she found it in like her 3rd raid

[dry wing]

lucky son of a gun

[cosmic tinsel]

so we're gonna go together when she catches up in quests

was just hoping there was something else i could do to keep myself going today

im still grinding bolt action on shoreline 😄

[rich cloak]

Just luck really

[cosmic tinsel]

yes, gotta get to lvl 3

[dry wing]

what gun have you been using? i gotta do that pretty soon too

[cosmic tinsel]

suppressed molot with ap rounds

[silver hornet]

'molot'?

[rich cloak]

I advise everyone who runs at least some amount of reserve to buy all marked keys

[dry wing]

you only chamber them correct @cosmic tinsel ?

[rich cloak]

Yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont understand the question, could you rephrase that

[rich cloak]

And worth every roubles 10x

[dry wing]

to get sniper level?

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm shootin scavs

[dry wing]

you reload them a bunch and that gives you sniper xp

[rich cloak]

Is it really ?

[dry wing]

ah

[cosmic tinsel]

reloading mosins is too dry for me

[rich cloak]

Same loot on all rooms afaik

Those were removed from the loot pool right ?

[dry wing]

im pretty sure they were

[rich cloak]

I think they did

Let me check

[cosmic tinsel]

there was a big thing about it last time they played. they were definitely removed once

not sure if they're back in since i took a break from the game

[rich cloak]

Can't seem to find a up to date loot table

But I'm pretty sure that they took weapons casesout

Lmao what

[silver hornet]

They did, they took them out alongside sicc cases last wipe.

[rich cloak]

Ahhh

Didn't play last wipe that's why

I've been getting a shitload of dvls recently

[ancient niche]

would anyone be willing to show me a good loot run for customs?

[rich cloak]

Avoid dorms and loot everything

[ancient niche]

fair enough lol

[rich cloak]

Let me rephrase

Avoid dorms pre 25min left and go for everything else

[ancient niche]

that would be swell!

[rich cloak]

🧢

[ancient niche]

just tryna farm so i can get my hideout going and get lvl 10

[stark pumice]

how do you fold down the faceshield

middleclick?

[silver hornet]

N

[rich cloak]

Outdated

[lusty glacier]

is this a good loadout?

[rich cloak]

It's missing a huge area

[thick shell]

hello, does memory skill still work?

meaning i can forget my traiend skills? D:

[rich cloak]

Can work but don't expect to hit mich on full auto

Buying the 6B47 doesn't get you any upside to using the ssh as long as you do not use nvgs keep that in mind

[lusty glacier]

i didnt buy it

[rich cloak]

Why bring 14k?

[thick shell]

how do i train memory for hideout upgrade?

i need lv8

[lusty glacier]

money extract

[rich cloak]

Isn't that 7k?

[lusty glacier]

14k if i have friend

[rich cloak]

You sure ? I never really use it

[lusty glacier]

i guess i could just bring 6k in my pockets if its woods

[rich cloak]

I thought it's 7k and then 4 people can dip

[lusty glacier]

maybe it is idk

[deep pelican]

wait does that actually train memory? lol

wtf

[silver hornet]

7k each

[rich cloak]

Huh

[silver hornet]

For Customs, at least

[rich cloak]

I never use that one so no clue

[silver hornet]

"Whenever you gain EXP for a skill that is not physical or memory itself you also gain EXP for Memory."

[deep pelican]

woods and interchange are 3k each

[silver hornet]

Per the wiki

[cosmic tinsel]

i've heard theres a bug where you need to bring one rouble more than your exfil, not sure if that's corrected

[rich cloak]

I personally wouldn't run level 4 armor on woods but you do you

[deep pelican]

yea

3001

i think i got into the most enjoyable pvp firefight on woods yesterday

3 teams all in one of the camps

[thick shell]

what is the max skill level?

[deep pelican]

actually a blast

[cosmic tinsel]

51

[thick shell]

oh wow sounds like quite a grind haha

only lv17 endurance :'(

[cosmic tinsel]

ive never reached 51 in any skill

skills come a lot faster this wipe though

[lusty glacier]

what armor would u run on woods then

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd run class 2 or 3 as scav deterrent

[fast lintel]

is this stuff worth anything?

[cosmic tinsel]

any sniper round is gonna blast through class 4, scav boss will blast through class 4

[thick shell]

yes, cord toolset and ciggaretes are quest items for later

cpu fan is like 30k roubles, u need 8 for quest later aswell though

bolts are 50-70k

[fast lintel]

ok my stash is 98% filled so idk what i should do

[thick shell]

screw nuts i think go for 15k each

[gilded estuary]

eod version?

[fast lintel]

no standar

standard

[thick shell]

are you lv5?

[fast lintel]

3

[turbid willow]

why does my game abort when i go into a scav run?

[thick shell]

hmm'

[fast lintel]

what does lvl 5 unlock?

[gilded estuary]

I think if you are not eod then try to sell anything priceful...

[thick shell]

flea market

so u can sell everything for very good price

[fast lintel]

really

[thick shell]

yep

[gilded estuary]

no flea market is lv10

[fast lintel]

wasnt it 10 before

[thick shell]

it was

it was 15 aswell afaik

im pretty sure its lv5 this wipe

[gilded estuary]

na its lv10 I am in game

[thick shell]

aww

thats a bummer

[gilded estuary]

I am currently kind of stuck in lv8

[thick shell]

i havent played scav just to rush to lv10 haha'

so i didnt run into space issue

fyi you dont get xp as a scav

[fast lintel]

it was lvl 5
