Does healing after raid count to skills? Thought it had to be ingame
And if so does that count for food and drinks? For skills?
what lvl are you wurple?
My 4 guns
i might try and learn reserve
i refuse to learn any other maps until i can get myself a compass
i know shoreline and factory
How do u use compass?
you press u and it works like how a compass would
whether to learn shorline and get shorline keys or sell my tape + 301 key and get ultra med
i already know interchange pretty well
Alrighty
idk, maybe they just think factory is how tarkov should be played
cqb cod style
Is Dakota recruiting you all ππ
yes
Received this from Gunsmith pt.3 Is it good to use or should I sell?
damn this kid got folded like a pretzel
@rugged yacht dumb question, do you lose the compass when you die?
no
no
how long are custom raids
45 mins i think?
ok thx
Damn uk I be recruiting, gotta start some gangs to create turf wars bruh
Whats a good key I can find in customs and where?
yes u do
Sell it
Ain't a m9
If u want a sub go for mpx
vector is better
Would the car be on the elft or right?
Mpx better
M9 vs PM @slow sleet
M9 Hella op
M9 so op it has irs own line for madtery
Mastery
30 round vector vs mpx, vector can shoot 2 bullets faster.
Vector range is what? Same less ?
Vector is a cool af gun dont get me wrong
should i sell gpu or put in bitcoin farm
But I would get the mpx over vector for price to performance even if it under achieved so little
Bitcoin farm
How many GPU do you have
Ez
5 in bitcoin farm
GPU ex to get
level 1
Farm
Mate

Is dorm room 303 key good?
In raid
Ok tnx
np
is stuff bought in flea FIR or no
Ngl kinda hot π₯π€§
Yo I told u man, just a lil bit crazy is hot af
And working imma about to get my ass whipped if I don't finish lmao
Lol
But quick question is it better for me to buy scav junk boxes or upgrade my stash to lvl 2
Cant wait to get some pics of my wife holding onto some of my guns lol
Does anyone know a good way of getting rid of gear fear
Scav Junk box is really useful @placid pivot
@bold kernel You need to just try raiding with a decent kit. Gear up well, decide on what you want to accomplish before the raid, then go do it. If you die, so be it - you'll always get good gear again.
- Somethin mil for stash or 2 boxes lol
Yup, play with me someday
@bold kernel get used to: either sell loot or use loot. DOnt have anything sitting in your inventory
Make u sell everything ur to scared to use.
this is what im currently dealing with
i just feel so bad dying with a gun
@bold kernel You can take the mag out and the pistol grip off to horde more
does anyone know the general range of stuff that spawns on old gas table
Sell it all to peace keeper
literally anything in the entire game
Think about it as a learning progress you use it find out you don't like it, you never use it again... Use it then love it? You come out with more gear and you find out guns you like
And buy m9a3
that what my inventory used to look like, but they were all pms
It can be literally anything up to and including a Red Rebel Ice Pick; different types of Cases
one of the things you cannot find are boss specific items like Reshalas Golden TT or Killas Helm/armor in Old gas @gusty fractal
GL
M9 is best gun def
@slow sleet if i were to sell my guns, should i dissmantle them first
found a tank battery and that big ass round on a player scav in customs? i thought they only spawned in Reserve?
used to be the case, not anymore
oh that's great
anything can spawn on any map, but how rare on those maps varies
@drifting jolt gotcha. do they always spawn together?
the fuck does that bullet go to?
task
oh wait nvm its obviously put in the m9
technically its a tank shell for the 38millimeters I think
Dissembling used to b good, now it's better to sell as a whole
I found igloc rounds, are they good?
It's time...
negative
A man of culture I see
Why so many pistols I see a lot of people have tons of pistols in stash
cause theyre memeing
Its not memeing, its a way of life
I wanna see someone do that with a suppressed modded 5-7, the 80k maxed out one
It's my favorite meme run gun
Add M9 gang tag on the name, your worthy
anybody want to do custom runs im lvl 2 not played in 6months im an OK player (from UK)
Man makin me proud af
What's security for in your hideout?
Its basically just a requirement for other things. I don't think it actually does anything
^ correct
np
dog cat mouse rat
Hi, golden swag quest, i have cabin key but i dont have option to unlock the door only breach
What should I work on first In hideout. I accidentally just did the vents right away without thinking or researching
Are you at the Dorm 303 door? You'll need that key
Honestly just upgrade whatever you can whenever yu can without bankrupting yourself, I haven't ran into any issues but you'll want to get through most of it asap
ah
ive got the zippo
does anyone wanna do some shoerline runs to teach me the map and help me with a few quests there ? I've never played on that map
He should have given you the Cabin Key, you probably forgot to put it in your container before the raid
Is RB-AK key the dropdown room in reserve?
yo, can anyone help me with gunsmith pt16?, i need a thermal optic, but i can return it since i get it back as reward
i need help finding jeager camp
has m855a1 been buffed? I don't remember it costing more than m995 lmao
or the same as
Yo people, elias is a girl, someone wanna help her out? Ik we have Simpson here somewhere lol
Simps
Say less π₯Άππ₯Άππ₯Ά
Befriend someone who has finished Wet Job part 5 most of them will just give you the RSASS for cost ~150k
yea where can i find someone
Some of the people in the beginner assistance channels probably have finished it, I know the labs guys a few of them have it, I finished it awhile ago but I'm big at work rn
can anyone help me run missions? i just keep getting shit on by high lvl players
can you help me when you're home π
probably just people buying it because they expect it to be cheaper
remind me in like 6hours sure
anyone wanna help me with a raid. still getting the hang of the game.
specifiaclly customs
If anyone is EU and wants to hop in some raids together, only level 6 so I'm beginner level just trying to get the hang of things so if anyone wants to team up or help out
is rb-mp12 key good because it sells for a lotttt of money
anyone that can teach me the game
yo, im completely new and my only friend that has it is an Aussie, and I'm EU. anyone fancy teaching me it?
but i have to load in solo? >:c
Cant fucking find that last rye crouton for jaeger...
i loaded in once, got 1, then got 1 tapped while looting xd
if u got no friend yes, otherweise i dont think ull get a random person in your lobby and if so i wouldnt trust them at all π
btw solo is more easy
He be speaking the truth
dang ok
but i dont even know what to do, like where to extract or anything xd
AAAAAAAAAAA
Anyone got any Tips where i can get rye crouton?
i got all my ryes near tents if i remember right
Fudge
so if i load in on my own, i wont go against groups of 4, no?
Except for that Flash drive tent at woods and that one near custom dorms i dont even know where lootable tents are
Oh u might
Yes you might
what keys i don't need from here ?
im so scared lmao
except they marked rooms, i use them for my self
Keep playing offline
try to lower the volume
Learn the map
Dont be afraid to run into the fights
Keep plauingnoffline until u can headshot really good.
you will shit your pants on labs when that lady starts talking xD
Own
they are not that complicated
flashlights are def. good
Flash lights in closed spaces are op
people cant tell if its a real peek or a fake peek
yeah klean has a nice tutorial for it too
If they are new they don't know were your head will be
even if you get hit its just a blacked arm and not a headshot
do you press alt+D to blind peek?*
alt+S is default i think
klean advises rebinding it for a more complicated blindfire into ads manuever
i would bind it to something else though
like ?
i have mine on e and my lean on my mouse buttons
whats a good starting weapon (not a pistol)?
the only change i've done was the discard button that is on X now
SKS all day
arent they quite expensive
the sks is 23k prapor
not in comparrison to other weapons
best way to lvl sniper lvl for psycho sniper?
save the mentor quest for the end
load into a map with 120 of the cheapest round for the mosin and constantly reload and the mentor quest when yu get to level 6 sniper
grab a molot 366 for cheap, throw a suppressor on it, walk around and kill stuff on the map you feel most confident on
you can mosin too, but the 366ap is quite competent at this point in the wipe, and you'll get the gun back more frequently
whats going on with scavs tonight? I killed 2 normal ones and one had a kitted out sks with bp and the other with an svd
and 7n1s
on woods
Sounds like shturman
scav boss?
lmao
was it in sawmill
That was 100% scav boss
scav boss minions
nahhhh minions can have junk armor
or no armor i think
thought he usually has sks or mosin
Yep they can spawn with no armor
sks, mosin, and svd are all options for bodyguards
Sthurman will always have an SVD, his minions have sks, mosin, hunter, and svd
shturman can have an ak-105 instead of an svd
The ak-105 is in his second slot
oh wow this game is hard
but he like never uses it
ohhhh interesting
the ak-105 will always have 7n39 but he only really uses the 7n1 svd
yes but does the sniper have svd?
what the hell is going on with the crafting skills?
why is it dropping when I'm crafting?
sniper scavs can have svd but they're not in sawmill
Where is the best place to get flash drives? I have been searching for days and zero. I did 9 interchange runs last night checking all the computers. No luck.
7N31 is best ammo to run on vector ?
pst or ap6.3 imo
what is the flash drive for?
or ap6.3 ?
oh thx
they only show up when you dont want them π¦ they spawn frequently at campsites as well
Flash drive for skiier early quest. Need two.
I've found heaps of flash drives
Wtf flash drive at a campsite?! Damn broke back mountain nerds
you'll need 5 in the long run
sometimes in pcs but usually in scavs
Whereeeee
Iβm up to level 23. Seen zero.
Factory for me
is the UNTAR armor worth using or is it too bright?
bright and weak
It's really bad, for both ergonomics,stats and everything.
i'd go PACA armor if you want to have something to stop scav rounds
just dont expect it to do anything meaningful against players
Safes have a higher rate than the camps
Filing cabinets on reserve took me a whole 2 raids to get all 5 needed for the quests
7.62 PS wrecks PACA lol
Good to know.
omg i found the last crouton and then got run through...
Oh snap. Cabinets have them? I was told ignore cabinets that they have bad loot lol. Iβll start checking.
Yeah they recently hella buffed them. they spawn keys , SAS, SSD, flash drive, and a bunch of other goodies
fsure, but it provides meaningfully more protection against most scav rounds... 9x19, 12 and 20 gauge, 9x18. it also costs only like 25k and it always comes back in insurance and it repairs well and cheap
(is toz 20ga?) if not substitute that for 20ga lol
i meant by just a visibility basis, i would only use this on budget run
whats the best thing to use in scav case?
MP-153 was the only gun I got max mastery with last wipe. Magnum buck Magnum fucks. It is great and super cheap π
its not as bad as wearing a pilgrim, but i'd rather not have no armor than untar armor
ok ty
Intel for keys, moonshine for streamer items, cash depending on your cash total. There hasn't been a lot of research on which of the cash ones is better this wipe but I always went with the highest one
i love magnum buck... i moved to shrapnel 10 though and fell in love
im just trynna make profit
Moonshine for me has been 80% profit but again RNG
you're losing money on it?
or am i reading that wrong
Like once or twice out of like 10 runs
oh fair fair yes me too
I have made like 5-7 mil from it so far though
i've gotten 2 tank batteries out of 10 or so runs
its been kicking butt for me this wipe
What do you gain from mastery?
I keep getting Tetris and guns and armor, which is nice
At the max level you can reload while ADS and there is a new animation for reloading, also I thin kyou geet better recoil control or something
Is that at mastery 1,000? Think Iβm at 150
Max level 3
what is the most profitable way of selling a weapon like this?
Which is like 3k or 5k hits idk
Different reload animation (which does not apply to shotguns XD) and you can reload while aiming down sights
Keep what you want to keep then sell the whole thing to mechanic
whole sale that bad boy to mechanic
Even then it's better to just get more cash from mechanic then use the cash on the other traders
should you sell or keep tank batterys?
you need 1 tank battery for an optional prapor quest
do what it best for you
and you can craft em into car batteries which you'll need for a therapist quest
I always sell, the quest is not required for Kappa so I have never completed it
Keep it for the quest or break it into car batteries for therapists quest
otherwise, sell
what level are those quest cause im only level 12?
anyone elses fps just really bad today
im only playing shoreline but idk why fps is bad
Servers have been stuttering last 24hours
^
that makes sense
at least NA East
im eu
then it's global
prob
not sure on the level, you could potentially sell the battery for now, and then buy another to craft later
maybe you lose the listing value
or maybe the value of tank batteries goes down
The cost of the battery will go down over time better to sell now buy again latter
might try to sell it then
ya thats fair. may be able to jumpstart your progression with it
good find regardless
honestly im doing 3
anyone know were to find this gilded zibbo lighter
Dorm room 303 three story dorms
golf you may wanna give the wiki a go - they have photos and stuff to help with it
I'm looking to kill lots of scavs on Shoreline. Is it optimal to stay on a map for the full length and wait for more to spawn (and come to you), or is it better to just make for the exfil and come back in?
didnt find it actually loaded in on my scav lol was running faster then Forst Gump
incredible
i usually do like 25 min
i float between the street, power station, weather station
You leave at 25 mins, or you stay in for 25 mins?
i think its 50 min duration so both π
π Fair enough
but i was referring to staying
Thanks for the advice!
RIP i need PMC kills with a pistol
grind factory π¦
still hard tho
for sure
should i go in naked
Nighttime interchange Rats like to rush the tech stores, I just kill them
Guys if u dm meevottv u get a surprise
i went in with mak and cheeese
FN 5-7 pew pew pew for me
literally just a pm, 3 spare mags, and pocket cheese
and the pocket cheese is super optional
i'd rush machinery room and hope to find other people doing the same thing
Testing out other armor and stuff is this kit decent or no?
Oh man I would kill u so fast
Helmet is eh, class 4 with no hearing is not the move
i'd rather have an earpiece, but that's fine
yeah, helmet weakest part by a lot
also mixing flashbangs and grenades is asking for trouble on your G key
I can just swap out for another helmet I found it in a weapons box and got some stuff for it
Any helmet suggestions?
Budget?
fast MT, wendy exfil
Exfil is my go to
I like the style of it over fast MT but they are essentially the same thing
Yeah then get the face shield
Alright
some face shields dont do anything so dont buy a trash face shield
you can altyn too for maximum protection but i prefer wearing comtacs
I honestly don't care about headsets I'd like a helmet that can stop a few bullets before I get domed
Altyn
Gotchu
t
ive had tarkov for a while but ive never gotten around to playing it anybodyy have some tips?
Be prepared to get destroyed, hop in a group in the beginners assistance for more specific help, generally sound is more important and sight. Ammo is more important than the gun itself. Learn the ballistic chart on the Tarkov wiki.
Learn all your exits in offline mode before jumping into a game so your not running around wondering where to go
i was playing last night and most of my stuff is gone but a guy said that insurance is always worth it so i insured all of it
Omg finally finished that dumb crouton Quest
Yeah people are less like take low level gear so insurance is nice
i have all this gear from killng pmcs
but i don't want to use it
since it's too high end for me
what should i do
sell it?
if you wont use it, sell it
if you dont think you're gonna be able to get the value out of the gun by taking it into raid, sell it
My motto if I won't use it in five raids I sell it
i can't sell it on the flea market
that said, the akmn is the only one that i'd sell, as the rest don't have anything crazy expensive on them
yeah no you sell it to vendors
Just say fuck it and use it. That's what I do lol
for pennies on the dollar
ight guys do i want to buy a Lucky scav box? or upgrade my stash?
hi my new friends π i realy need help i die everytime i dont know what to do :( im on a german Server
you need lvl 2 stash for bitcoin farm
Upgrading your stash is probably the better use of it
or intelligence center?
where do i find gpus?
if somebody can help me please im lvl 11
theres a few gpu spawns, i'd hit the wiki to find your favorites, and you can craft em outta intelligence center
yea need them for farming part 4
you also get one from a quest i think
i think i crafted one, found one, and got one from a quest
found a few more in raid but died so those went in my btc farm
You get like 2 from quests but the quests are mostly after the quest in which you need it lmao
yea did you run interchange?
i had a 50/50 split of interchange and shoreline for mine
but i run a lot of shoreline
Interchange is the best place to find them for me
^
Honestly shoreline is balls this wipe for me, I find more LEDX's on interchange which like the whole point of going to shoreline
man i found ledxs in sanitar room 2 out of 5 attempts this morning
i completed private clinic and got killed after pulling my first ledx
actually room was looted already in one of 5, so really 50% of the time
maybe i got lucky?
I found 5 ledx's out of three raids on interchange
holy crap
I think I have found 3 ledx's on shoreline and I have all the keys, too much effort when I just stomp people on interchange
i am not good enough to stomp people on interchange
Screenshot from the third raid where I only got the one ledx
Anyone have a not found in raid emercom medical key I can have or potentially buy
should i do this
sure, if you wont use it
are you pushing punisher?
the last punisher mission needs svds kills
yea i don't hve punisher tasks yet xD
yeah, go ahead and sell then lol
rn im here with parpor
Not too far from punisher 1
what is the most efficient method to make money if you have the standard version of the game ?
Does the Vepr AKM .366 count for Punisher pt 1?
i mean, with kappa ik you can just run interchange and if you you die and that's it bcs you have a large container
Interchange or reserve loot runs
@agile vigil not dying
no, the veprs dont count in either caliber
ok ty
idk the map that well and i have quests there too
how much can i sell twitch rivals 2020 glasses for? I cant see any on the flea market
how far
not dying is really important advice that sounds sassy, but learning not to engage when youve got loot is important
i'd check tarkov-market and see whats happened with em
I think 2-3 quests to part 1 the SVD is part 6
it doesnt feel very helpful with how little it sells
The rivals glasses were twitch drop only right?
you wont be able to sell it if you took it off a player
i can sell it tho..
can you buy me that 1m guy from peacekeeper π
it's fir?
I mean someone might want them but most people are too poor to buy stuff like that
What?
Oh the RSASS? I'm not home I am just on my work laptop
since he can buy it for 1.5k dollars
yes. i found it on a pmc
what the heck
huh wierd
maybe pmc found it somewhere
should i just buy it off flea market?
it doesnt spawn does it?
the RASS
i didnt think they were in the loot pool, i assumed it was a drop
I'll buy it at like 5pm EST for you at cost
maybe in a stash, that thing gives random loot, right ?
tree of giving?
Hw much and do you offer protection too π
If they are in the loot pool that'll be my after Kappa loot goal
i didn't know of them existing in any loot pool
besides they are purple, what use do they have ?xD
30% blindness protection
We will get a five stack on factory and just leave, idk what the cost is atm but like 1.5k dollars or something
kk nice
just dm me when you home
yeah thats why kenshi and i are absolute shocked pikachu about this
I mean the only one people really want is the twitch armband
maybe some bugged item, if its being sold a little bit then im not the only one
it's the big stick for vector effective or it burns to quick ?xD
idk if i should run the 50 rounds one or the big sticks
big stick is fine if you can buy it from vendor
best 5.45x39 ammo?
if you are going thru flea they cost the same last i checked and you might as well go 50rnd
is it still igolnik?
BS/ignolnik about the same
ok
guys should i sell my filters and sugar now or wait?
how broke are you
i have like 1.4mil rn
If thats enough money for you keep them for later if not sell them
i'd hold if you have space... they were like70k last wipe
Yeah I've spent like 1.5mil on filters and suger in the last week it's been kinda annoying but still making profit
ok ty
anyone wanna help me with this task?
dude rpk is such a good gun
i might literally only use RPKS now they have like no recoil and hit so hard
can anyone teach me the basics?
beginners assistance channel
yes we are in the channel
we're happy to answer any questions you might have - general advice is to start with offline raids, learn maps, and lean on the wiki for quests
oh ok
quests are pretty important
i love doing quests
same and hideout is one too for me
i dont like questts
How are we supposed to know where extracts are? One of the vendors selling maps or what?
you've gotta rely on online maps honestly
check the wiki or just search up the map extract
Well that nukes the immersion then
i believe the intended mechanic is read the in game maps or wander endlessly until you find a way out (stick to the edges of the maps)
but essentially, everytime you spawn, your extracts are on the opposite side of the map from your spawn
Is there any visual cues at all? I see a bunch of glowsticks on factory...
I don't see any ingame maps though
therapist sells em
Oh must have missed those. Thanks
on factory it's always gate 3
That's the only extract I know of lol
the other ones takes keys
gate 3 a death trap try to learn the others
Yeah saw like 5 bodies by it on my only successful extract so far
if people are exit camping they're in gate 3
unless someone does a
exit camp and camp the keyed one 
haha ok
Hey also, it says I'm always in offline mode apparently
No matter if I tick the box for offline or not
That normal?
it shouldn't
what should i sell/buy to get my jaeger up?
Might just be a stuck message
it is
if you don't tick the box you're fine
Cool
is peacekeeper ll2 the only way to get mp5sd 9x19 silencer?
or is there a loot spawn
is there a way raise peacekeeper loyalty level without completing missions? IE buy sell with him
just sell rigs and bags to him
only to ll2
are you doing gunsmith? theres a non-sd option
no
non-sd option?
pk ll2 is just lvl 10 with 11k spent, so yes. But you need quests for ll3 and up
yh
what is the non-sd option?
i already got 2 of the sd parts for basically free
I'm a newb and confused - what do I buy to put a scope on this mosin infantry carbine? or do i need to buy the non-infantry one??
i used the 3 lug threaded protector and an aac illusion silencer
just slapped those on the end of an mp5 barrel
that needs mechanic ll2 right?
yep
i am not level high enough
You can only scope the normal one unfortunately.
yea im level 14
id just wait on gunsmith then
Needs to be a "Mosin Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle" specifically
And then you also need the Kochetov mount
Then the PU 3.5 ring mount on top of that
then you can put the scope on
haha
Ahhhh okay perfect, thanks
hello, I've been looking into buying tarkov for a couple months now and have one final question, which edition would you recommend getting?
standard or EOD
sorry if this is a stupid question, is there a certain reason you recommend these?
the stash upgrade and good relations with traders are the most significant head start
standard to test the game and eod if you spend a lot of time in it. i think the other versions just don't offer enough for the price i think
Bigger butt pouch is amazing for holding keys and meds
standard is perfectly fine, you can upgrade afterwards if you feel like it
You don't have to do it in one raid
between the standard and left behind is it better to get the left behind edition?
Gotta avoid the sweaty nerds. I like to go to a scav spawn area. Wait for them to spawn
left behind gets a bigger starting stash, that's about it
my bad i did not see this, thanks for the help i think i will do exactly that
the starting gear doesn't matter that much imo
Its inevitable death so basically gotta wait at spawn for scavs, sort of
ay if anyone is brand new to the game feel free to dm me and i am willing to help u with anything lol
Scavs don't come to spawns, you need to go to their spawn to kill them
I believe if you are marked and cursed they come to you
yea, but he needs to have just hatchet right?
yeah they do scavs usually dont move around from their spawn unless you spawn with a hatchet or you are the last pms on the map
sounds right
so if I stick around after everyone else is dead on factory I can farm scavs more efficiently? 
what ammo should i keep
Oh do scavs spawn more than one time per game?
yea
yep, in waves every 5 min or so
smol waves
Oh omg
like 2-5 for the map
Thats nice
Good evening, Comrades!
sometimes they spawn like 10 meters on your flank or rear 
I've had a scav spawn right behind me, no noise then suddenly mumbling behind me and i get shot by a mp-153 
only happened once tho
Soooo.... I'm bad at Tarkov (That's.... normal, I guess) Have no money, no guns and just a knife. Is there anyway to get out of this mess?
watch beginners guides on youtube to get a feel for what you should be doing
Should I sell my RB-ST key? I found it randomly and I have used it a few times, but I dont get much loot from it, and it sells for 1.8m which is insane to me
well you cant sell it on flea now...
I've watched a lot, but It is hard to avoid bullets, if you don't know what shoots you (even with headphones)
sell it if you don't plan to go to reserve anytime soon
Just instaclapp
i mean, 97.9% of shots you should be able to hear fairly well
Is prepare for escape version worth it?
only super long shots you wont hear
i'd say yea
@bold kernel if you take something into a raid, it will no longer be 'Found In Raid' and therefore cant be sold on flea
Hey other beginners π
Hello fellow noob
I have literally everything for Bitcoin farm except jaeger is -0.04 rep. Should I grind out the 5 or so quests or should I get prepare for escape?
Bigger stash and container donβt sound so bad either
@celest sage prep to escape isnt worth imo, you get a 4x2 secure from beating the 'Punisher' questline
edge of darkness or standard
Punisher kinda painful tho
I mostly only like playing with friends so Iβm making very slow progress with it
Ok so I just started playing yesterday. I did a few runs in offline mode to get used to the controls. Iβm an experienced FPS controller player but pretty new to mouse and keyboard. I start my first actual raid and decide to do matchmaking with random. We spawn in and immediately a teammate kills me. Is this what i have to look forward to?
Why is it so unreasonably difficult to know where tf you are in this game
I prefer prepared to escape because it doesn't have the crown 
I've been sprinting around Woods for like 20 min now
you never queue with randoms... ever
they will shoot you pretty much 100% of the time
Well fuck. Lesson learned
need the map pulled up on alt screen
load spawn faster and kill him 
@regal nimbus there's no voip so you cant talk to them anyways
game should be called "lost in tarkov"
It says multi-screen support isn't in the game yet
I just had to reread that sentence lmao
Yeah i realized that too lol
I was just so dumbstruck
You can use nvidia surround iirc
And I lost all my gear that the game gave me??? Like whaaaaaa
So people matchmake to farm loot off of their own team huh
Thatβs the most toxic shit i ever heard
anyone know the magic bearing for grenade launcher - pointed at dorms 3 story?
Yeah I too am not impressed
Hello
I got a quick question
is there something low level under like leverl 5 or so to help store keys with less space
i wanna start putting my keys in something like a key case
well it'll never happen again so dont woryr about it
True
@regal nimbus you were pretty much 100% guaranteed to die either way with that gear
Most players got a docs case with the bonus this year so Iβm assuming you didnβt?
Is there something I should do as a noob, when starting out? If you just keep losing the little gear you have, what cheap guns i should be buying? Or not going into raids with a lot of gear?
Pretty much no way to get it before level 10, but it isnβt as bad getting to it as you might think
Like I have no idea where to start. I know i should prob just find a YouTube vid
scav for gear
play offline mode and learn a map
.....obviously
Basically just scav scav scav
im new to the game
@regal nimbus you asked.
doing scav runs as much as possible helps, playing cautiously, maybe hugging the edges of the map. I think pestily has some good beginner videos
Any map in particular βeasierβ
several items that can hold keys, yes
customs imo
Mhmmm thats what ive been doing
medium size loot everywhere
I almost never get invites from randoms
I mean Iβm asking for constructive advice, not the point of the game advice. Obviously I need to loot bro lol
Yes, at 10 you get flea market so you can buy any item in the game that anyone else is selling, and sell too. That includes docs case and keytool, 300k and 600k
Been going shoreline farming thr hidden loot and jackets for keys and started with 500,000 now got 900,000
Cool Iβll focus on that
Not sure if thats good or bad
play customs, have a map on your 2nd monitor or** your phone... try to orient yourself... listen, move from cover to cover
suggest warm up with a offline mode...then run scav then PMC
Ohhhhhh map on the second monitor. Thatβs smart
@regal nimbus guns dont do damage, bullets do
are there any video settings i should change for best visibility
The game makes you learn customs first and itβs the best all around map imo. Also reserve is lit for scav too, but learn customs first
some guys says he joined some randoms and they dropped him a kit and they played. At least he says it happened, I never played with random so idk
So when you play as Scav, are you just trying to kill people or can you get loot also?
AI scavs will never shoot you first
use that for a bullet guide... or the one on the wiki
So now that the Christmas tree isnβt a thing. Is it just best to sell the ornaments to therapist?
other player scavs might
Scav for loot, pmc for everything else like progression, kills, loot
you spawn with random gear/loot. you don't get any type of secure container, but anything you get if you survive is a bonus, since it was "free"
So when you scav, do you have to extract like PMC?
yes
Yes
Oh so you can just survive to pass the raid?
no
right, bosses will have different behavior from shoot on sight to shooting you after verbal warning to back off
if you survive, you keep what you had on you, yeah
So extraction is just to get out of the raid EARLY?
Oh
well, you can still loot, and I think you should loot on the way
you always keep melee, arm band and secure container's content as PMC
If you havent extracted by the time the timer reaches zero you lose everythingyou picked up that raid
Ah shit. I saw that you can buy maps from that one vendor. I thought you had to have one on you in order to see a map
@regal nimbus dont use in game maps, they're shit..
So thatβs just wasted money. I could just have a map up on the second screen
correct
Damn.
lol
very little detail and takes up the whole screen to pull it out
We can tell youve done your research... @regal nimbus
make sure you look for the new area in the woods map you google
I mean.....itβs a lot. I just started getting into Rust too. So my mind is a jumbled mess right now
you play this for the gun play
This seems like Rust mixed with Warzone. On crack.
tarkov's gunplay is best
Thatβs what made me interested
Tarkov is very unforgiving and pretty much throws you to the wolves
But clearly Iβm gonna struggle a lot early.
most definitely
Yeah seems like it. My teammate killing me really messed me up tho
I was like WHATβS THE POINT OF THIS lol
Grouping with people here is fine, but randos never... people here get banned if you group and they puprosefully tk
Someone gave the advice of not matchmaking for the first month of playing, but if anyone wants to hard carry me sometime, hit me up
Never join with a random. 9/10 they will just teamkill you and take your gear
There is no 'hard carry' really... you either pull your weight or you dont
That is so savage and should probably not be a part of the game i feel like. Thatβs crazy
Iβm being cheeky. Clearly Iβm gonna do my darnedest.
High risk. High reward.
Playing solo will keep you more aware and you'll learn more about the maps
Right
playing with others 'may' net you more money, but you wont learn as much, and will probably die more
playing solo is easier at times, bc any footsteps other than yours are an enemy
When youre in a group, you're chatting, and if shit hits the fan it's a lot of yelling... 'where are you?' 'are you dead?' 'Is that you at the tree?'
Well future reference. Is there a specific channel for squading up?
Yeah that makes sense
you can hide better solo, and you remember more, bc people arent busy talkign while youre paying attention to the maps
Cant get TKed if you dont have teammates lol
Ainβt that the truth
thats true, but duos are still very good
only when youre similar skill tho, otherwise one person is carrying and the other is tagging along picking up scraps of loot
^
duos have the easiest time communicating
Learning with other noobs is a great idea
no need to go "OH SHIT WHOS THAT WHOS THAT" when you know exactly where your only teammate is
Can you kill scavs as a scav for prapors first mission of killing 5 scavs on customs
or do you have to be a pmc
pmc
What should I do with a bitcoin I got from a quest?
Ok
selllll
sell to therapist
Ok thanks
YES
Play duo with a buddy for a funner time, play solo if you wanna learn faster.
Never been so frustrated in all my life than learning this game π
Solo for faster questing, Duo for better survival, trio for better map control/loot contest, Quad only if everyone if highly skilled, Penta only if on maps where that is an actual advantage. At least for me
Just running around in offline mode atm. Gonna drop a line here for anyone who's chill and would enjoy doing runs with a noob. You can be a noob yourself, I'm also looking for Tarkov buddies in general. None of my friends play π¦
PM me if you're interested. Rn I'm just trying to learn maps and do the early early tasks once I'm comfortable going in alone/have a partner or two. Would be down to do scavs when off cooldown too
I really enjoy playing duo and trio. Playing quad and especially penta it starts to get really hard to know where all your teammates are and I constantly get killed because I hesitate when I see an enemy unsure of whether they're a teammate or not lol
Im not gonna look at an armband before i shoot
I said they help, not solve completely lol
Yeah armbands can help. It's a problem that they're only on one arm though because there's so many situations where you can't see them
penta is so unbelievably useless
it doesnt add much good shit and makes communication extremely difficult
many many more variables
unless every single one of you are actual gods its just painful to play
5 man squads are bad
you need to have super good cordination
When I play with my friends in a penta we almost never all die so you damn near always get everything back from insurance which is nice
I don't think I can think of a single case where our whole 5 man died, so that's worth noting
I thought max squad size was 4
Who should I insure stuff with?
okay thank you
What does it even mean to insure stuff in this game?
it means if the item you insured isnt taken by somebody out of the raid, you get it back
if your insured stuff is still on the map by the time everybody is dead or extracted, you get it back from death
Can anyone help a noob work out what to sell? I have a full stash and am lost. Only level 2
I'd love to stream with someone and they offer guidance π
Damn this gonna take hours to sort out and plan
Other advice would be not to buy anything you don't need right away and to make use of rigs that hold more items than they take up space to make more room.
i nailed a pmc center mass with a ppsh
does this mean he took 233 damage or (233-115) damage?
either way how is he alive
@hot inlet could i stream to you for 5 mins and we work it out?
I think I'm worried I'll sell something to trader thats worth 10x more on the flea market
as I'm only level 2, I can't check prices easily
:/
I'm about to run out the door but you can get someone else to help or post a screenshot and I'll look at it from my phone
LFG need 1 im a lvl 10 DM me
doesnt a player die if their thorax or head is blacked out?
if it blacks out from bleeding, no.
