[red flame]

hard lesson learned

[cinder cedar]

I'm not level 10 yet so I couldn't

[red flame]

first wipe pre-10 i wouldn't even consider flea market a thing. but i used my first wipe building my fundaments

regardless start searching up every item on the wiki and see if it's a quest item, and then just check it out on the market? there's an app called rat app on the playstore if you're into that kinda thing.

[cinder cedar]

Yeah bought the game in the past week so I have no idea how to economy is etc

[chrome raptor]

should i sell my whiskey bottle or should i keep it?

[red flame]

but if you're a standard account, you'll be better off liquidating basically everything

[cinder cedar]

Ah alright, I'll check it out. Are the PSU's rare then? Or just cause there a quest item?

[red flame]

whiskey is for barters

up to you if you want them. psus are very important for hideout. not necessarily rare

so much as important

people in tarkov grab items and wall you off from them via cash

[ebon mist]

Im looking for help to do my task shooter born in heaven if someone would help me

[wooden talon]

need help doing skier task , i have unk key , new player to eft and im a level 15 i done dieddddd alottttttt to reach that level just looking for other people to play also cus solo aint fun right now

[cunning pilot]

should I sell my dogtags bellow lvl 10?

[red flame]

yes

i do at least

[blazing dune]

Level 2 Trying to get a walkthrough on interchange

[shrewd ore]

level 11 returning player EU, down for every map

[flint hearth]

I currently have 6 berkuts filled with hideout & barter items holding half my inventory hostage. Should I sell the cheapest things and buy them later from the flea market instead of hoarding? I really need space (Still only level 7)

[shrewd ore]

@slender furnace i dont think so

[tulip skiff]

any one from sg servers can teach me labs?

[cunning pilot]

Anything here worth keeping?

I'm getting low on space

And too afraid of selling stuff

[slender furnace]

@flint hearth Look up in the wiki what items are worth keeping and what not. 2nd buy Rigs like the MPPV i think. This and some other rigs give you twice the space they take up

[tulip skiff]

sell vodka to therapist

sell the sunglasses too @cunning pilot

[flint hearth]

@cunning pilot everything is useful for barter/hideout upgrades, but you can safely sell Fcond & GMcount imo

very limited barter use and good money

[cunning pilot]

ok, thanks!

[flint hearth]

Thanks, I've been checking and kinda wanna keep everything is my problem. Already have 5 rigs with net positive slot space but it's never enough lol.
Was more wondering if the prices in the Flea market for the more common barter items are fair or not

[fierce pendant]

would anyone be willing to run some raids with a new player? i think i have the basics down but things like map knowledge, rotations during fights and loot locations i dont know

im NA btw

[modest quarry]

I havent played in years and im basically new too but im down if you are

[cunning pilot]

Is it worth it to buy a Lucky Scav Box or a dog tag case with money?

[modest quarry]

The dog tag case is literally just a box to hold dog tags. If you collect them and have the money to spare send it, the lucky scav box is worth it to me, because i care about organization in my inventory.

[cunning pilot]

I have 2.4M

Lucky box is like 1.6 right

I think thats too much for me

I have over 20 dog tags, I guess I'll buy a dog tag case

[lethal marsh]

anyone wanna run customs?

[edgy valve]

i just need croutons 😿

[cunning pilot]

@lethal marsh use #pvp-lfg

[wise stream]

I need tips on how to do Takov shooter pt1 without wanting to die

[lethal marsh]

well i'm a beginner so

[vague pivot]

New Player looking for help with Customs - EU

[smoky wing]

yo why is security vest so expensive on the flea market, despite it being one of the worst vest/rigs in the game?

[severe river]

Do u guys have binaural sound on or off?

[chrome ibex]

Style points

[smoky wing]

lmao

[viscid shale]

does anybody have the cottage back door entrance key its not 4 sale atm so can somebody help me out pls

[glass oxide]

off because whenever it's on people rarely ever actually make sounds and its drives me nuts

[rugged yacht]

I think interchange might actually be just the best map

[glass oxide]

the last raid i had it on me and a friend were looting a building in customs and some dude full sprinted up the metal stairs and shot us in the back and neither of us even heard him enter the building or run up the stairs

[drifting jolt]

it's the most interesting of the bunch imo

most well designed

[rugged yacht]

1 run

Texho and Techlight were empty

These were from German, Emerc Med, and TXT

[remote flare]

I need idea on what to buy/sell to jaegar to level him up

[rugged yacht]

snipers and shotguns

if you dont care about money buy a tetriz and sell a BTC to him

[remote flare]

will he buy back the snipers and shotguns I buy from him?

[red flame]

no.

he essentially buys what therapist does

[lunar sage]

Do cache runs with a backpack and shotgun bought from jaeger. You'll make money back easily.

[lunar sage]

Good run bud

[barren sapphire]

"waiting for players" since 5 minutes

jesus

[bold kernel]

Could some1 take to me to jagers camp???

[lunar sage]

I can, pick a room and I'll meet you there.

[wind gulch]

pretty sure he buys shotguns

and sniper rifles, but not DMR

not all of them

[chrome ibex]

Just buy the most expensive shotgun he will buy it back

[wind gulch]

he buys m1a but not hunter lol

[ancient falcon]

bro i killed rashalla and his goons. heaps of pmcs and I dropped my bp in a fight and now its not here

and his pistol was in there

wtf...

[wind gulch]

welp common sense is to put the pistol in your holster lol

RIP

backpack sometimes clips through stuff

[ancient falcon]

and i crashed when I minimised to check where i dropped it again

I logged back in and was alive thankfully lol

and found it

idk how i didn't see it

did the funniest kill though

[severe river]

Is it normal to have a constant breathing when you have a visor on? It's so annoying

[drifting jolt]

yes

[ancient falcon]

https://youtu.be/lQQORMJERF4

[drifting jolt]

lolz!

[ancient falcon]

there were 3 of them lol

[bold kernel]

I need help to finish some tasks on customs if someone is down to help me out im level 6

[ancient falcon]

why cant I put pws cqb on a rpk?

I can't drag it on the gun

when I try to put it through the preset menu it says there is no space when there is clearly space

it's just a compensator

did you read what I wrote?

this happens a lot. Might be a bug but no one else have said they have this happen

when I make the preset in my bag on my character then it works..

lmao this game.

[drifting jolt]

that was a funny joke

[ancient falcon]

is an altyn a bad idea in interchange?

[bold kernel]

what is the raid difficulty thing for? Whenever I'm selecting the map for a raid it always says "insane" or whatever it is

[lunar sage]

It's just a difficult BSG assigned the different raids.

[bold kernel]

what's bsg

[lunar sage]

It doesn't really mean anything. No map is necessarily more difficult than another, they are all just different.

[lunar sage]

Battlestate Games, the people who made tarkov.

[bold kernel]

oh. cus I see people take screenshots and for them it says breeze

[lunar sage]

Idk, it might change based on level, I don't pay it any mind, it doesn't matter.

[bold kernel]

ok

[drifting jolt]

disregard that, it's dumb

@lunar sage the breeze thing was the 'old' difficulties...

[orchid pendant]

Just hit level 5, is there some sort of inventory goal I should be going towards? Having an Icase etc or should I just hoard cash until I get flea market access?

[lunar sage]

I wouldn't invest any money into anything except hideout till you hit level 10.

[drifting jolt]

rush to level 10 as fast as possible.... items case is one of the last cases you'll buy

[lunar sage]

I'm 29 and I don't have an icase lol. I'm waiting to get a thicc.

[drifting jolt]

Lucky Scav Junkbox, Ammo, Mag, Food, Meds cases are your first major case purchases

[orchid pendant]

Thanks, thought I read that Lucky Scav built from icase

Figured it was like an upgrade

[lunar sage]

Naw, it builds from 3 magboxes, which you can also make in hideout.

[orchid pendant]

As for the hideout, what do I prioritize there?

[drifting jolt]

it's a fairly linear progression

but bitcoin farm is what youre working towards

[bitter magnet]

How do the Beginner's Assistance VC work?

[lunar sage]

Bitcoin farm is the goal. It'll let you play Tarkov without focusing on loot runs.

[orchid pendant]

Hmm, I see. Thanks for the help!

[barren sapphire]

oh boi being disconnected every other raid sure is fun

[drifting jolt]

just join em

[drifting jolt]

totes

[barren berry]

yes

[cunning pilot]

I'm so lost, please help

Where am I?

[narrow yew]

Would anyone be able to guide me to Jaegers camp? The woods map confuses me with the spawns, and by the time I get my bearings, I don't have time to get to the Plane Crash.

[barren berry]

@cunning pilot you located near ATV

between two rocks

in passage

[cosmic tinsel]

bitcoin farm is the most obvious way to make money, but there are also crafts that you can do that are profitable. for example, 2 green gunpowder and 1 blue gunpowder cost 135k, but they can craft into 260 bp bullets worth about 220k

are you sure hes not RUAF roadblock @cunning pilot @barren berry

[cunning pilot]

i moved a bit

I see a lake

[barren berry]

oh, i didnt saw bgm

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah you were at RUAF roadblock

[barren berry]

there is same pickup at south UN block

[cosmic tinsel]

you've moved towards lumber mill

[barren berry]

im sorry about it

[cosmic tinsel]

yeh i'm not super familiar with the woods addition so i was ready to admit im wrong ha

[barren berry]

im mean, same 2 pickups and that angle kinda confused me

but anyways

[cosmic tinsel]

100%, especially from 5 feet away

[barren berry]

nice catch

[ancient falcon]

if you don't get oli spawn is it worth turning the power on then going medical store near techlight or if you spawn at oli is it worth going power station to turn it on?

[cunning pilot]

Ok thanks! I got snipped right away after that screenshot XD

Killing 15 scavs will be a nightmare

[silver hornet]

@cunning pilot Shootout Picnic unlocks no new quests beyond it, so you can put it off for later

[cunning pilot]

I'm also doing this one

[cosmic tinsel]

waka fwiw i went in with just a cheap shotgun (mp-133), shells, and healing in my alpha

[cunning pilot]

im trying going with vepr hunter now only

[cosmic tinsel]

that works too

[cunning pilot]

but im always getting sniped

[cosmic tinsel]

its just a numbers game

[cunning pilot]

its hard to survive

[cosmic tinsel]

i went cheap, and that way when i died my stuff came back

[cunning pilot]

need also to find prapor convoy somewhere

[covert temple]

What are the best keys to use for reserve

That bring the most profit

[deep pelican]

marked keys, found a few RSAS and different cases quite easily

[bitter panther]

MP-22 is pretty good for a low cost key

[cunning pilot]

So I kinda fucked up and went woods at night. Anyone knows where is prapor convoy from this location (Near the lake on the rocks)

[drifting jolt]

it's about 45 degrees to your right, way far away lol

[cunning pilot]

I should be here but a little bit ahead

Nevermind

I just died

While writing

[cosmic tinsel]

standing up in the middle of a field is a dangerous move

if you must pass through fields (especially one next to a populated spot like emercom there), go fast

and otherwise try and stick to trees

[viscid mirage]

Yo guys, anyone has skier Lvl 2? I really need a pt lock for ak74 u since they are not on flea or cost too much

i can pay back the rubles

[cosmic tinsel]

just wait on gunsmith tbh

you're gonna get traderwalled on almost every one

better off being able to get it all done in one hour when you're level 30 or whatever

[viscid mirage]

i wanna progress the tasks faster now

its literally like 5k rubles

[cosmic tinsel]

i know its hard to resist but you're losing money rushing it

in any event, its the time it takes, not the rubles for most people

[viscid mirage]

man, why is i hard just to get me a thing that is literally 5k xD

[bleak pollen]

map recommendations? i have only played customs

[orchid pendant]

Didnt know the worth of a PSU but I knew it looked good when I found it during my scav run lol

[cosmic tinsel]

i literally just said it aint about the roubles XD

[viscid mirage]

then what is the deal?

[cosmic tinsel]

interchange has good safe loot runs and high value stuff, woods has a lot of space and much better loot in the new section

[ancient falcon]

altyn trash

tried it and got 1 shot by a bp

[agile vale]

what is best ammo for shotgun other then ap20

[ancient falcon]

and couldn't hear shit as well

[cosmic tinsel]

magnum buck for unarmored, flechette for armored

[ancient falcon]

magnum is good for buckshot

[agile vale]

so i buy flechette or magnum

[viscid mirage]

anyone here has skier level 2? i need a pt lock for ak 74u

[agile vale]

i have all trader 3

except peacekeeper 4 and therapist

[cosmic tinsel]

ye

[agile vale]

i can help you buy pt lock

[viscid mirage]

could you get me a pt lock please, ill give you the rubles

[agile vale]

no need rubles

[viscid mirage]

thanks a lot

[agile vale]

its cheep as fuck

[viscid mirage]

yeah ik xDD

[elfin swallow]

so

[agile vale]

i cant play rn tho i am in school

[elfin swallow]

last night i was hunting some cultists, they are so op

even with the thermal they can still fuck you over

[agile vale]

i mean i am asking i buy flechette ammo or i buy magnum buckshot ammo

[cosmic tinsel]

im a magnum buck guy

there are people that will tell you i'm a moron for not buying flechette

its a preference thing. mag buck needs just one pellet to face to lethal

flechette needs 2

[cunning pilot]

IS this AB-TOWN, guys?

[drifting jolt]

AP 20 > 8.5 buck > flechette

[agile vale]

wait magnum buck is better than flechette?

why

flechette have better pen tho

[drifting jolt]

@agile vale weaker flesh damage

[agile vale]

but it doens't pen good armor

[drifting jolt]

flechette is good against high tier armor, but buckshot is better overall

@agile vale headshots

[agile vale]

ok, i am trying to do setup

[drifting jolt]

Flechette may be better for labs?

but AP20 is best

[agile vale]

does the shotgun have to be supprese?

[drifting jolt]

doesnt have to be

[agile vale]

ok good

[drifting jolt]

wait, are you on a quest?

@agile vale

[agile vale]

ya

im on setup

[drifting jolt]

either way though i dont think you need a suppresor

https://streamable.com/oqae71

@agile vale This is ap20 ^

[agile vale]

i know but since i am going with scav rig and ushanka i don't wanna bring a good ammo

kinda expensive

i don't have jaeger level 4

only level 3

[cosmic tinsel]

my advice is go mag buck

if the boy dont have a face mask go face

if he do go legs

and i'll give you the same advice i give my wife: prepare to be disappointed

can you use ks-23 on setup?

just saw that nope

[agile vale]

no you cant

you cant use ks 23

[cosmic tinsel]

so try mag buck

remember that getting all of your limbs bloodied at the same time is terrifying

remember that you'll be blacking limbs and you wanna sieze the advantage after the first shot

and remember that you do higher damage over a 1/4 second interval, but they do more damage over any sort of longer "looking at each other" moment

quick peeks

[orchid pendant]

Mind showing me where hole in the fence is on interchange? Currently sitting on the map

[drifting jolt]

dont put all the shells in your pocket, put most in your secure container

[cosmic tinsel]

directly behind goshan

[orchid pendant]

goshan?

[cosmic tinsel]

the middle big box store, looks sorta like TOWAH

in cyrillic

or IOWAH

[orchid pendant]

Ill try, thanks, and its just a fence like the name?

[cosmic tinsel]

you'll see an indent in the fence

a bunch of shipping containers

and to the far left of the indent theres barrels against a break in the fence... stand next to barrels

and double tap Z to drop bag

[orchid pendant]

drop bag?

[cosmic tinsel]

cant go thru hole in fence w backpack on

[orchid pendant]

Ah, didnt know. Luckily Ive got enough slots and a shit backpack anyways

[cosmic tinsel]

are they spawning npc scavs with two guns?

or did i just run into a goofball

[real thistle]

Probably a player scav

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, thats what i thought

he sort of just ran walked around spamming voice lines

[real thistle]

Yeah. Goofball.

[orchid pendant]

I did the most hilarious thing a few hours into playing, had been into my settings and somehow managed to unbind both mouse bottons, litterally thought it was a Scav bug thing that I couldnt aim or shoot lmfao. Took me about 3 runs to figure it out

[cosmic tinsel]

oh no

[orchid pendant]

Ran around wiggling at scavs and people, went pretty well considering lmao

[barren sapphire]

Whats a good next weapon i could Start running as my default loadout (Not too expensive)? I got access to lvl 2 traders, and so far have been running the sks. Im ready for something better now

[cunning pilot]

I just lost 600k, doing this by mistake..

I don't understand why the fee isnt charged only after being sold

[deep pelican]

AKM with BP, tap some fools

[barren sapphire]

I need to buy BP from flea market then right?

[deep pelican]

yea, you can honestly use PS if you want to be cheap

i killed a 3 man the other day with BP and they all had Korund and exfil/altyns lmao

with PS**

[cosmic tinsel]

the fee is in part to discourage listing things too high, as a penalty if the item doesnt sell 😦

[barren sapphire]

Any cheap Upgrades for the akm, or Just base Variant?

[cosmic tinsel]

recoil pad, kervo

[cunning pilot]

fuck me, I didn't see I was listing sugar

i almost had 1mil lol

[barren sapphire]

What recoil pad

[cosmic tinsel]

linked search on your stock

look for recoil pads

[barren sapphire]

ooooh its out of stock

Any sight or scope i should put on It?

[cosmic tinsel]

anything it'll take

cobra

ekp-01 or whatever its called

you may need to put a new dust cover on to get a rail

[barren sapphire]

So whats the difference between the akm and the vepr km?

[cosmic tinsel]

full auto, and the vepr doesnt count for the amk quest

[barren sapphire]

Ok thank you

[cosmic tinsel]

the vepr km comes in a 366tkm caliber as well

so you gotta make sure you're not gettin silly with the bullets you put in the mag

the mags will take both but the gun only shoots one

[barren sapphire]

Ah i See

[visual garden]

One of my personal favorites is the ADAR

but definitely stick with the AKM if you are looking for a full auto weapon

[latent harbor]

how can i remove those black edges?

[cosmic tinsel]

my personal issue with the adar is the unavailability of decent rounds at reasonable prices until you get the trader unlocks

[cosmic tinsel]

i... dont see anything wrong with this clip?

[pulsar summit]

my game bugg

i got lvl 2 unlocked but no show, when i buy the tab opens but its emptey

how can i fix

[cosmic tinsel]

spend a lil more

buy pocket cheese

[pulsar summit]

then it unlocks

[cosmic tinsel]

sometimes

[pulsar summit]

but its emptey

[cosmic tinsel]

sometimes you gotta restart

[latent harbor]

another clip in the edges the black that moves

[cosmic tinsel]

can you screenshot from your video

show me what you're seeing

that looks completely normal to me

[pulsar summit]

meevo help me plz

[cosmic tinsel]

did you restart game

[pulsar summit]

yes

[cosmic tinsel]

i have no more ideas 😦

[pulsar summit]

but then it doesnt show

[latent harbor]

look in that corner

[ancient falcon]

bro I'm geared up to a mil and some scav just 1 shots me in the back of the head with a shotty in powerstation

[latent harbor]

just keep looking at it in the video

[ancient falcon]

I just ran out of there and didn't bother looking towards the car extraction.

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont see anything jumpin out at me

[latent harbor]

video seems fine...

i dont know

i had this with gta and when i put it to exclusive fullscreen it was gone

in this corner

@cosmic tinsel do you now see it?

[copper pond]

can someone help me what shuld i sell from my stash?

[orchid pendant]

And do we keep AKM/VPO-209s or do I disassemble and sell?

[ashen meteor]

anyone wanna help through a raid?

[karmic tree]

anyone wanna make a group for new pepole and play together??

[drifting jolt]

@ashen meteor @karmic tree you two should group up if youre new... playing with other noobs allows you to learn together... playing with veterans can be too fast paced, or you might not learn much at all

[cinder hawk]

^

[lunar sage]

That's not true, there are pros and cons to both.

[drifting jolt]

agree to disagree

[barren sapphire]

got a question. Im at the quest "postman pat 1". I have to go to factory, find a sealed letter and survive

do i have to wait 10 minutes/get enough exo

exp

or can i leave with a "run through"

[drifting jolt]

when you get a run through you cant sell anything you found on flea, other than that youre good to do that

a lot of people try to avoid getting run throughs, just as a personal thing

i have 400 raids without a run through so far, so there's that

[barren sapphire]

but the questitem isnt even a real item

its one of those "quest inventory" items

[drifting jolt]

right?

[barren sapphire]

you cant sell it anyways

[drifting jolt]

im telling you the downside to getting a run through

[barren sapphire]

yeah, but my question is can i still finish the quest even if i get a run through

on non-tradable quest items

[civic sinew]

your good with a run through

[drifting jolt]

i implied yes...

[civic sinew]

but not reccomended

[drifting jolt]

^

[barren sapphire]

allright ty

sorry didnt catch the implication, english isnt my first language

[drifting jolt]

@barren sapphire my apologies

[long cedar]

hey guys i got question

[drifting jolt]

?

@long cedar it's easier to just ask the question as opposed to telling us you have a question... lol

[long cedar]

Would anyone here help me get one more shotgun for prapor and 2 more scav kills on customs for first task

got 3 kills 1 shotgun so far

[drifting jolt]

@long cedar the shotguns will be on scavs, so just keep killing scavs, you'll find one

[gloomy rose]

shooter born i heaven needed for kappa?

[drifting jolt]

@gloomy rose indeed

[long cedar]

Ok gotcha

[shrewd storm]

Hey I am new to the whole EFT thing, there's so much to do and things to find and I just wanted someone to explain how the quest, trading,bullets, items,keys and stuff works. I have put some hours into learning the map offline and get my ass handed to me online( but just have to git gud I suppose). I have watched guides and stuff but Id like if anyone could hop in a call and teach me.

[drifting jolt]

@shrewd storm one sec, ill create a group

jion me in 5 man #13 @shrewd storm

[shrewd storm]

Yep one sec

[barren sapphire]

@long cedar you can buy the shotguns from jaeger once you have him unlocked

[long cedar]

oh ok thats good to know

[cinder hawk]

Who should I turn the Chemical p4 quest into? https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Chemical_-_Part_4

[barren sapphire]

so just kill scavs and hope you get shotguns until lvl5, then you can unlock jaeger and simply buy the shotguns

[errant estuary]

Apparently my friend got robbed by someone in the lfg group factory map

they killed him at extract lol

[cinder hawk]

yikes

[errant estuary]

he was just in factory to get his quest item done

[barren sapphire]

Man idk whats Happening today. For the 4th time i was stuck on "waiting for players" had to close the game, and then reconnect to a raid in progress

[hasty rose]

It used to happen to me when my ping spikes up during the loading screen. Fixed itself eventually so I'm guessing it was a server thing.

[ancient falcon]

Best loot run in interchange or even tarkov ever that I just had

https://gyazo.com/61e4e93c3c09adea06a767c146630786

[hasty rose]

I couldn't even find a single tetriz

good job man

[cinder hawk]

wow O.O

[gloomy glade]

found two tetriz on scav runs in 24hrs lol

[inland marlin]

which one do i pick USEC or BEAR?

[gloomy glade]

thats a nice run!!

[cinder hawk]

@inland marlin it doesn't really matter much. Only difference is outfits and voice lines atm

[inland marlin]

okay thank you

[cinder hawk]

If you want to be able to understand your in-game voice commands play USEC

[hasty rose]

I picked USEC so people could understand my voice lines

[cinder hawk]

if you don't care or you speak Russian, you can play BEAR too

[inland marlin]

nah USEC

[agile vigil]

im fking getting clapped by scavs

ffs ...

[flat skiff]

@barren sapphire are u not able to see jagers quest in woods then until lvl 5 then?

[barren sapphire]

Exactly

[flat skiff]

Man feel so lost in these maps solo lol

[wise stream]

the only tarkov shooter pt 1 kill ive gotten, i got ratted right after...

iron sights sniper kills are annoying to get

[trim aurora]

whats a good starter sight i can put on most of my guns for cheap

[wise stream]

burris fast fire is good

pk lvl 1

[dusk cargo]

Hey guys, i bought the game yesterday and havent played yet just wondered of anyone wanted to hope on a game to show me the ropes a little would be much appreciated

[ancient falcon]

found my ledx fir as well for the thicc case

FINALLY lol been trying to find this for 3 days

[cosmic tinsel]

where were you looking?

[ancient falcon]

Thanks, gentlemen

[cosmic tinsel]

i found 3 in 6 trips to sanitars office

[lunar sage]

It absolutely does matter, based on if you want to start with m4s or ask.

[ancient falcon]

all the med rooms in interchange

[cosmic tinsel]

aaaahh

[ancient falcon]

where is sanitar's offfice?

oh right the one with the hand mark

I had bad luck with that room. 1 raid had nothing at all. Not even a bandage

tried it 4 times and got nothing over 30k

[cosmic tinsel]

did you unlock it?

[ancient falcon]

yes

[cosmic tinsel]

and did you know to look in his shower?

[rugged yacht]

what dont i need

[ancient falcon]

yeah the hazmat suit

[lunar sage]

Completely depends on what quests and hideout upgrades you have left.

[ancient falcon]

you need the tapes for sicc case trade up

[rugged yacht]

most level 2 hideouts

[cosmic tinsel]

incredible

[ancient falcon]

@rugged yacht https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png/revision/latest?cb=20201030135610

[cosmic tinsel]

ya thats the best way

[upper iron]

Those metal fuel containers arel ike 160k each atm, so is PSU

[ancient falcon]

also camera lenses and motors for upgrades

they used to be dirt cheap last wipe

or the last wipe i played in

[cosmic tinsel]

lenses are part of a flir craft now which may be driving it

im honestly shocked that the sa-58 nixxor barter didnt drive their price up in prior wipes

[ancient falcon]

should I keep my thicc case or sell for 16mil?

hmmmmmm

[cosmic tinsel]

i like the space

[ancient falcon]

same...

but 16 mil is 16 mil

[cosmic tinsel]

you gotta do whats right for you

[slow sleet]

Yo guys

I got a secret

[thorn peak]

can anyone help me with this??

[slow sleet]

What are u lookin to do

[thorn peak]

gunsmith part2 quest

[cosmic tinsel]

no muzzle

[cinder hawk]

Use the build from this guide: https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_2

[slow sleet]

Ah remove barrel attatchment

[cinder hawk]

Ah yeah, as the others have said you just need to remove that muzzle

[thorn peak]

just remove the muzzle only?

[cinder hawk]

looks like it yeah

[thorn peak]

but my egornomic still 55

[slow sleet]

The link he sent is perfect for the rest of the gunsmith missions

Just change the number at the end of the link from 2 to 3

Ect

[cinder hawk]

^

[slow sleet]

Yo alec want a secret?

[cosmic tinsel]

try using the SAW handgrip instead of the rk-3

[cinder hawk]

sure

[slow sleet]

If you DM meevoTTV that guy their ^^ he will give u a surprise :o

[cinder hawk]

Lmao, that sounds like troll bait but YOLO

[slow sleet]

Yolo, I like that shit

[gloomy glade]

people on scav runs camping extracts. NECK

[slow sleet]

Lemme knwownwhen u message him

And if he gave u surprise

[elfin swallow]

@ancient falcon its not worth the sell, usually people who sell it arent people who can make money

so they end up losing it

[cinder hawk]

@slow sleet sounds like you two have a little feud going on

[elfin swallow]

imo its a waste of a sell i mean yeah it is some quick easy cash but it is very very easy to make money this wipe

[thorn peak]

ok let me try to change it

[slow sleet]

What fued?

[junior briar]

anyone need to do bad rep evidence customs?

[slow sleet]

Ain't to feud, he a 'twitch' boi who helps people on here but if anyone dms him he blocks them lol

Poor basterd didnt get the help from meevo lol

[thorn peak]

thanks..i remove the muzzle and change it to saw and the quest completed

[cosmic tinsel]

noice. these are real finicky quests - gotta stick closely to the guides or be comfortable troubleshooting the stats yourself

[cinder hawk]

im not gonna get in the middle of your dispute or take sides haha

[slow sleet]

What dispute lmfao

Now in curious what hes goin on about

If this is a dispute I am dummy af

[fringe brook]

Just did a scav raid and found this, what is it for?

[strong barn]

access to the map Labs

it uses up the keycard to let you go into the map

[ruby basin]

@junior briar i dooooo

[cosmic tinsel]

you'll need 2 of those for a mission later, they allow you to go to labs, and they're worth a ton of money

[fringe brook]

Should I use it? Or save it?

[strong barn]

Save

[cosmic tinsel]

if you're interested in quests, i would hang onto it until jaeger asks for it

[fringe brook]

Ok, thanks.

[strong barn]

especially since its FiR; you can use it for offline labs practice runs and it maintains its value @fringe brook

[fringe brook]

Oooo

[cosmic tinsel]

can you not do that with non-fir cards?

[ruby basin]

^ best advice for a lab card ive ever heard tbh

[strong barn]

@cosmic tinsel Its offline mode; nothing you bring in loses its FiR status dude

[fringe brook]

I’m guessing labs is a good place for loot, is that why it fetches a high price?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah but you can use non-fir cards to practice too? youre just savin the cash on another card

[strong barn]

Why bother when he has one and barely knows what it is for?

Your suggesting he buy another one when he can use that one for both purposes 🤷

[cosmic tinsel]

im just trying to giure out the "especially since its fir"

[strong barn]

It kills two birds with one stone

[cosmic tinsel]

yep that makes sense

[strong barn]

He can practice; and keep it in FiR for his quest later

[cosmic tinsel]

was tryin to understand, not disagree

[strong barn]

2 birds
stoned at once

♥️

[slow sleet]

Hes tryin to understand alot these days

Dont mind him lunar

[strong barn]

I need things repeated to me sometimes; itiswhatitisss

[slow sleet]

Pat's on head' its okie dokies

[cosmic tinsel]

anyone else getting an error message every time they throw a water filter in the purifier?

it still goes in, just weird

[celest sage]

Best way to level strength in hideout?

[bold kernel]

lfg, not entirely new but not good at all, still have most of my stuff from wipe, i only know customs, please play with me i cant play when alone, lvl 1 still because no one wants to play

[cosmic tinsel]

no way to level in hideout

[celest sage]

???

Go in your hideout and run from one end to the other

And check endurance

[cosmic tinsel]

oh

that sounds miserable, but might work

[bold kernel]

does anyone wanna run with me?

[barren trellis]

Ughhh.... flash drives are so impossible to find

[cosmic tinsel]

ive been snaggin em outta safes

[slow sleet]

Factory cabinets in office

[cosmic tinsel]

but boy do i only find em when i dont need em

[celest sage]

You spawn with them really often as scav

[barren trellis]

Maybe I’ll try scav. I never do it

Tried cabinets. No luck. Safes no luck, computers on interchange 😦

[cosmic tinsel]

make sure you let the raid timer move past 10 min before exfiling if you have a flash drive

you dont need to be in raid for 10 min, but certain maps spawn scavs early (lookin at you, customs)

[icy swan]

Make sure you have water and food if you wait that long to exfill

[fringe brook]

Where you guys playing with me, these aren’t rare are they?

[cosmic tinsel]

they're rare dude! look at the market price

hang on to those two, and then sell any more you find

[celest sage]

I’ve gotten like 15 or so flash drives this wipe and those were all before level 15

[fringe brook]

What is the price?

[cosmic tinsel]

im in raid cant check flea

~300k?

[fringe brook]

I’m level 2 I can’t check the flea till 10 right?

[celest sage]

Don’t sell them

You need them for quest

[cosmic tinsel]

holy moly lol

[deep pelican]

theyre usually around 200k and not too rare to find

[cosmic tinsel]

hang on to all of them until you hit 10

[bold kernel]

does anyone wanna run with me????

[deep pelican]

killing scav bosses is a good way to get them in raid

[cosmic tinsel]

and keep 2

[fringe brook]

Ok

Thanks

[cosmic tinsel]

ya 200k

[ancient falcon]

I found killas armor and helmet twice today as a scav

[deep pelican]

theyre only really rare to find on normal scavs, scav bosses i feel like i get one every other kill

[celest sage]

No don’t sell them

[celest sage]

Don’t sell them

[bold kernel]

does anyone wanna run with me???? im shit at the game

[fringe brook]

Damn 200k, how do I level up faster then?

[celest sage]

Don’t sell them you need them for a quest later down the line

Also leveling and xp are basically all from tasks

[bleak pollen]

what does found in raid shotgun mean?

can i kill someone for their shotgun?

does that count

[ripe carbon]

No

[cosmic tinsel]

no, needs to spawn on a scav or in a weapon box or similar

[ripe carbon]

unless they found it in raid themselves

[bleak pollen]

oh ok thanks guys

[ripe carbon]

it will have a little checkmark in the bottom right

[bleak pollen]

ah i see

ty

[celest sage]

Pretty much I’d say just do scav runs until you spawn in with the mp-133

[sharp bison]

ayo can someone guide me on woods

for some tasks

[frail socket]

Just a quick question here, i know scav junkboxes can fit rigs in them. so can i put guns etc into the rigs and then them into the scav junkbox?/

[wicked cypress]

THis is so overwhelming

[frail socket]

yeah it is

[wicked cypress]

Like there are so many places to look for loot.

[frail socket]

yeah, i normally go interchange. there is hell of alot of loot

but yeah its everywhere

[lunar sage]

You'll learn what to prioritize and what to ignore. Also, it's very important to set goals for raids so you don't go in with no ideas. Like, you want to loot keys and try to get good keys, so you'll aim to loot those things and ignore the rest.

[heady zodiac]

That's what I have been doing. I don't mind any gun in particular so I've just been looting keys for most of my scav runs

[celest sage]

Scav junkboxes can only have barter items

No rigs

[flat skiff]

Hey can anyone fill me in on the cheapest way to obtain night vision early on

[celest sage]

Dont do night raids bruh

Easiest way

[frail socket]

oh i may have got a little mixed on the boxes, thanks for correcting it

[flat skiff]

Yea but a lot of people think like that and maybe I can get used to night raids early and that be my niche

[lunar sage]

Completely agree with Nero, don't do night raids early, there's no point.

[junior briar]

similar thinking to those that "did" night raids

[lunar sage]

If I do night raids I go in juiced out of my mind lol.

[flat skiff]

Ok ok I hear ya... man just frustrated is all I’m dwindling down on cash

[sacred roost]

jeez this game is hard

[celest sage]

Night raids are cringe, you’ll get sniped from someone with fancier things

If you really wanna go night raid bring a flashlight

[flat skiff]

What you mean @lunar sage kitted up? Heavy gear?

[lunar sage]

Do cache runs on maps with a backpack and shotgun or pistol and learn to avoid conflict and learn mechanics to "dodge" getting shot. It'll teach you a ton and get you a lot of money.

[bold kernel]

hi, i've gotten escape from tarkov today but find it really hard to get into. Is it possible for me to squad up with someone and for them to help me through the game, and evidentually extract?

[celest sage]

NVG expensive so people who go on them are rich

[junior briar]

juiced=CHAD=$$$

[bold kernel]

i was told in general to get sherpa?

[lunar sage]

Yeah, I mean heavily kitted. Caimen/Slick/Vector usually.

[lunar sage]

Use the LFG section and find some guys to play with.

[bold kernel]

ah, thx!

[lunar sage]

Night raid kit for me would be around 5-6mil.

[flat skiff]

Geez!!! Ok point taken. Yea that sounds good some cache runs... do you suggest map genie?

[lunar sage]

One sec, I'll send you the customs cache run I do.

[cosmic tinsel]

how many followers does sanitar have? i'm not seeing it in the wiki

two, found it

sorry!

[flat skiff]

I have a hard time using map genie bc the way the maps layout. They have buildings off to the side. Like for instance the garage at interchange and I can’t tell where they actually are orientated in the map itself

Thanks @lunar sage really appreciate you

[lunar sage]

No problem bud.

[minor osprey]

I've seen people talking about preemptively keeping found in raid items for quests, but these quests also require you to "find in raid _" So is it not worth keeping the found in raid items untill you've accepted the quest or does the game remember that you've found the item in the past?

[cosmic tinsel]

"find in raid X" means you need to turn in that item with FiR status

[junior briar]

anything found in raid, not previously brought in by another PMC, is "find in raid" status. So long as you escape with it and not bring it back in you are good

[cosmic tinsel]

found in raid is denoted with a check mark

so as long as you have that item with a checkmark, it counts

[celest sage]

Hey guys is prepare for escape version worth it?

[junior briar]

FIR items that are required for quest will have a yellowish checkmark

[cosmic tinsel]

this is true and useful but it only counts for quests that you have active, not future quests

[minor osprey]

But don't i need to also find them once i have accepted the quest?

[cosmic tinsel]

no

[junior briar]

true

[cosmic tinsel]

im comfortable with the base version of the game, some of my friends bought better versions, depends how much you want the features and how much disposable income you have

[minor osprey]

so for that i can just hand in 3 kits?

I dont need to go out and find them

[cosmic tinsel]

the first item will be checked as soon as you accept the quest

and then the second will be checked after you hand them over

[minor osprey]

Ok, so for future quests that need me to find X in raid, if I find one now and in a week accept that quest the first part will be completed and I just have to turn it in?

[cosmic tinsel]

yep 😄

[minor osprey]

Alright thanks mate.

[cosmic tinsel]

thats why we've been recommending that that guy keep his lab keycards

even though he wont get that quest for like, 3 weeks

[minor osprey]

I see.

[onyx rose]

What are the odds of 2 Graphics Cards spawning under the desk with the 2 computers in Customs?

[hidden heron]

is there a way to put a scope with magnification on a tapco sks body?

[cosmic tinsel]

like, .2%

[onyx rose]

Holy shit I'm the luckiest man alive

[cosmic tinsel]

incredible

which desk w 2 computers?

i do not look for gfx cards on customs

[onyx rose]

That building in Customs with the 2 sides with stairs going up on each

blue building

[cosmic tinsel]

ohhhh no kidding

the new rooms

[onyx rose]

I've found like 5 there

[cosmic tinsel]

i guess i'll swing by there more

daaaang

[onyx rose]

Yes for sure

[minor osprey]

@cosmic tinsel For the find in raid part, if I "found" it on a scav would that still count when I then accept the quest or would I need to find it on a pmc?

[onyx rose]

I've found tetriz there as well

[cosmic tinsel]

counts!

crafting also applies found in raid and counts

[minor osprey]

And just to clarify I mean playing as a scav not looting

[cosmic tinsel]

i understand and answer stands

[minor osprey]

Alright thanks again mate

[barren sapphire]

Ive played this game for like 150 hours now, and it still feels like im till picking the same budget kits, on the same routes on the same map

im too scared to go to reserve or shoreline resort

[lunar sage]

What's wrong with that?

[cosmic tinsel]

are you pursuing quests?

[barren sapphire]

yeah i am

[cosmic tinsel]

quests are a good way to force yourself into new locations

[barren sapphire]

i always play like a rat

on new maps

[lunar sage]

I have 190hrs and run super expensive gear sets, I still don't run reserve or shoreline without friends lol.

[barren sapphire]

i feel like i dont actually get better

[misty zenith]

Just got a tape key. That good?

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[lunar sage]

Anyone need quest help? I'm down to raid one or two.

[cosmic tinsel]

you need it for a mission and also the door it unlocks is a ledx spawn

which you'll need for another mission and also cash farming

if you hate missions, the key is $$$ too

[heady zodiac]

@lunar sage Why not shoreline? I've only played for a day and they seem more open compared to Customs and I like it

i've steered away from resort, other than that it seems fine

[bold kernel]

look to squad up with someone and learn the game a bit. as green as grass, joined the game today

[cosmic tinsel]

shorelines a great map, and even resort can be poked at as long as you're careful

(inb4 snoreline)

[unreal lintel]

I'm also pretty much brand new, looking to play with some folks

[lunar sage]

I just don't like shoreline solo, it doesn't feel rewarding to me.

[cosmic tinsel]

completely fair

[bold kernel]

@unreal lintel wanna go to a voice channel and play a session together?

[mental dagger]

if your NA ill game with you, im lvl 4

[heady zodiac]

Seems fair, I don't get super outstanding loot from shoreline but it feels better paced imo

[bold kernel]

i pretty much have no clue what i'm doing though 😛

[unreal lintel]

@mental dagger @bold kernel Sure I'm down. I'm NA. Might have to jump off in a little bit for work but I can play for a bit

[mental dagger]

alright lets get it then

[bold kernel]

i'm in look for group voice channel

[lunar sage]

I am also super biased because I have customs memorized at this point and know how to skate through it lol.

[cosmic tinsel]

customs is my favorite map for the same reasons, but shoreline is a close second

[hushed anchor]

Does Scav kills on Scavs count for the quests

[lunar sage]

No, nothing you do like that counts towards your PMC quest progressions except for loot.

[hushed anchor]

alrights

[junior briar]

you need some help?

[bold kernel]

i think i found a few guys to play with 😄

[junior briar]

anyone else that needs help with basics of the game?

[dusk swift]

Hey I have a question, so I'm a level 5 with very little experience in the game, and on my scav run, I picked up a fully kitted m4 and 3 mags

Is it worth keeping it? Or selling it to mech for like 120k?

[cosmic tinsel]

im a big believer in selling it and getting more practice in with cheap guns

[lunar sage]

Completely depends on if you want to run an M4 or not.

[drifting jolt]

you could take it in an offline raid to practice, but most likely just worth selling

[dusk swift]

Yeah, I'll probably sell it then. One more thing, can anyone recommend a loadout under 60-70k or so for a beginner to use?

[lunar sage]

SSH helmet, Paca armor, PP-19 and a prayer.

[dusk swift]

I'm running some PMC raids with friends on customs but we keep getting beat down by other PMC's with vectors and such

[hushed anchor]

Dont forget the prayer

[red flame]

Anyone that unironically uses the vector has low self esteem

[dusk swift]

How are the AK weapons? Specifically the 7.62 ones? I have about 4 AK 7.62 and like 8 mags, loaded with PS

[lunar sage]

You're going to have to invest in better ammo, a more passive playstyle, or aim for the legs.

[lunar sage]

AK vs M4 is purely opinion based. The difference in guns is mostly ammo based. Specifically, how expensive better ammo is per caliber.

[lunar sage]

Unlike most games, the guns aren't the biggest part of the equation, the ammo vs their armor is.

[dusk swift]

I have trouble with the full auto AK recoil, but I guess it comes with experience

[dusk swift]

Right, that's what I've heard before

If I want to go the 5.56 route though, where can I find 5.56 weapons to use?

[lunar sage]

Just use single fire and learn trigger discipline, there's very few guns you can run full auto.

[hot inlet]

PS ammo is good enough for starting out but you'll unlock much better ammo for the AKs at Prapor Lv3

[dusk swift]

Ah ok thanks. I'm yet to finish a single quest yet, so that's yet to come

[dusk swift]

? I only have all level 1 traders, haven't been able to do any missions yet

[hushed anchor]

Is the default sks with ps ammo okay

[red flame]

yes

ps will fuck someone up

[drifting jolt]

one of your best options for -10

[iron siren]

do you have bp ammo from the new years gift

?

or have you accepted that

[red flame]

is new years still acceptable?

[iron siren]

i believe so

[red flame]

... yo

i gotta tell some dude i've been showing the game that

[iron siren]

just go to the website and see

[weak plover]

looking for 1 more to join a 3 man squad perferable map knowledge of shoreline and customs DM

[shut zephyr]

looking for someone to help me make money lol i have no more guns or anything haha

[dusk swift]

One more question guys, I have 1.12 million right now from the initial 500k + a lot of scav sells. How much should I be ideally spending on raids to make it worth it? Keep in mind im a total beginner

[outer knot]

I know shoreline pretty good, and customs kinda meh

[red flame]

customs amazing. cash me ousside

[hot inlet]

5.56 would probably be the M4 line of guns which is done through Peacekeeper. You can barter for them or buy them at level 2 Peacekeeper.

[drifting jolt]

you can do runs with just a pistol... so it's really up to you... just slowly start increasing the overall quality of gear/meds/armor you take in overall as you gain more and more $

[lunar sage]

Follow exactly what mote said. Think of your budget as a % of your total cash, not a flat amount, so it can change as you get richer.

[astral hare]

I go by the rule that if i can't run it more than 20 times without going broke i shouldnt run it. So about 50k per 1 mil you have is about a reasonable price, until your more comfortable at the game

[dusk swift]

Is bartering on flea market? I'm only lev 5 so I guess that's not an option

[drifting jolt]

@dusk swift take in nades, better meds, more bullets, better armor

that's how your kit gets better

[dusk swift]

Yeah that sounds great, but what would you recommend for 50k?

[hot inlet]

Barters are trades with dealers. You just provide the items they ask for in the trade. You can do item trades with players as well though.

So at Peacekeeper Lv2 you can just trade a few computer fans and a few cpus for an M4

[dusk swift]

Ah ok thanks

[hot inlet]

Or you could just sell things to him for $ and buy an M4 from him

[dusk swift]

Ok makes sense

[drifting jolt]

@dusk swift shotguns are a great budget gun

[dusk swift]

Are the 9x19 guns any good?

[drifting jolt]

but not really until you have access to better ammo for them

[astral hare]

Yeah, if your going budget, could go pistol, or pp-19, or shotguns. All are face/leg meta, avoid shooting them in armor

[red flame]

Nikita still a bitch for pushing flechette to lvl 3

but jokes on him, I already had an ammo box full

[dusk swift]

Perfect pp19 sounds awesome

[cosmic tinsel]

they're ok, you'll probably have to aim for the face against a lot of people at this point in the wipe already

[hot inlet]

9x19 is either pistols or smgs both of which are okay. You won't get a lot of penetration with those early due to ammo choices but it's enough to kill scavs and and players with lower armor classes

[dusk swift]

Also is it worth it to insure those cheap classes?

[lunar sage]

Anyone got quests and need a guide? I'm here to run a few.

[sharp bison]

NEED SOME HELP ON WOODS WITH QUESTS DM ME

[hot inlet]

Insure everything you have when you take it into a raid

[astral hare]

Yes and no. If going factory yes. If going bigger maps like reserve, customs, that stuff yes

[lunar sage]

Please don't insure things in your container like keys lol.

[hot inlet]

Well I would assume he doesn't have those yet lol

[cosmic tinsel]

i insure my keys because i'm lazy XD

[bold kernel]

Anyone want to join me and a friend, we are level 2 and 3. Would love some help in some games.

[lunar sage]

I say that cause I was almost out a load of money because of my marked key lol.

[lunar sage]

I'm down, pick a room and I'll join.

[cosmic tinsel]

my sicc case cost 300k to insure but i was like... i dont wanna uncheck it every time

[dusk swift]

Great. Last question, I have like like 4 7.62 AK's, and 9 full mags of 7.62 PS. Should I just sell them and buy the 9x19's instead?

[bold kernel]

they are all full

[dusk swift]

And what armour should I be running!

[buoyant shale]

welp, I fked up.... im trynna do gunsmith part 4 and i watched an old youtube video... i guess some of these parts were nerfed or something. I need the sum of recoil to be 300 or less please if anyone can help i spent a lot of money on these parts haha

[astral hare]

No, use those

[chrome ibex]

I just got used to clicking individual item to ensure cause yeah sicc case with keys is like 500k in total

[lunar sage]

Pick a map and use the LFG (Map) room.

[lunar sage]

Use the wiki no youtube for gunsmith, wiki is kept up to date.

[hot inlet]

If you don't plan to use them. PS ammo is good enough early and you could try to get a feel for the AKs if you want now.

[dusk swift]

Ok and for a 50k class what armor should I run? Paca?

[astral hare]

7.62 ps is a exceptional ammo to use for newer players, 30+ pen, good damage. You just need to control the reciol @dusk swift

[lunar sage]

Paca is a good-enough early armor.

[astral hare]

Tier 2, or none is fine. Paca will stop scavs, but not players

[lunar sage]

Unfortunately, because it's a month in, you're only buying armor for scavs at this point as a new player.

[slow sleet]

Wow now

[dusk swift]

Got it, so is running armorless even viable?

[slow sleet]

He is buying armour in Hope's to stop my m9a3

[hot inlet]

basically the minimum armor you should wear. Some would consider helmets or headsets optional lol

[lunar sage]

Sure, just avoid scavs.

[dusk swift]

Perfect

[red flame]

You could go onto woods with a melee weapon and come out geared to the gills.

[dusk swift]

And im guessing at this point it's best to avoid PMCs as well, any tips to not get into those kind of engagements?

[hot inlet]

Key to avoiding fights is listening and map awareness

[lunar sage]

You'll eventually learn the hot spots and just avoid those.

[dusk swift]

Alright thanks for the help guys, appreciate it

[lunar sage]

Like for customs, you can generally run straight on the road between dorms and construction cause people don't go there.

[dusk swift]

Yeah good tip, I've only played on customs at this point since I've heard it's a good beginner map

[slow sleet]

Dont be matched against me, I will track your ass lol

[glad oriole]

just got a purple credit card thingy, should i sell or keep it

[hot inlet]

Customs is pretty brutal due to the spawn layout and chokes crossing the map

Half the players spawn within spitting distance of each other and the first minute is people rushing spawns or getting out of spawns

[lunar sage]

What's the name of it?

[dusk swift]

Noted lmao

[dusk swift]

So what map would you suggest to learn the game on?

[limber notch]

What fov should I use?

[chrome ibex]

If you play labs a lot keep it, if not ell it

[buoyant shale]

Is the wiki one the only possible combination? Because i cant buy the "Magpul M-LOK 4.1 inch guide" off of the flea market... they all want some rare keys

[fair apex]

whats the best way to make money early on?

[lunar sage]

Cache runs with minimal gear.

[lunar sage]

Customs is still the map to learn on.

[hot inlet]

Well you have to play on Customs still to get early quests done unfortunately

[lunar sage]

Keep refreshing the flea, it will pop up eventually but it will be very expensive.

[dusk swift]

Ok, so just trial by fire I guess

[hot inlet]

Personally I like Interchange lol

[misty mortar]

Interchange and Shoreline this time around can be sweaty just be cautious

[cosmic tinsel]

interchange is so sweaty

[limber notch]

I did interchange for the first time today as a scav, spent 10 min trying to figure out where I was then when I did I got killed by pmc

[hot inlet]

Just avoid the guys rushing Ledx, Killa, and safe room you'll be fine lol

[buoyant shale]

its crazy cuz its only 1700 from mechanic lvl 2 lmao

[dusk swift]

Also, any tips not to get picked off from afar by other PMC'S?

[cosmic tinsel]

fair, i'm on huntsman path sellout though 😦

[hot inlet]

Map awareness and erratic movements

Sprinting in a straight line will get you somewhere faster but it's easy to line up a shot on someone moving a constant speed in a single direction

[dusk swift]

Ok makes sense

[limber notch]

What do helmets do exactly, Do they act as face armour or is it only a chance that they block a shot?

[lunar sage]

Pretend they are a crocodile and zigzag.

[dusk swift]

Lmao alright

[hot inlet]

If you are taking shots from a distance try to put some cover or concealment between you and the shooter.

[bleak pollen]

where do i get shot from

when looting the stash

[lunar sage]

Face armor only if they have a face shield, helmets are mostly useless until very expensive/high armor. You can get away with high richochet helmets that are cheap.

[drifting jolt]

Once you get better at the game you can just stop wearing helmets altogether

[cosmic tinsel]

shadow, the face is divided into multiple areas. the helmets cover very specific areas, but you can check it in the inspect screen

[limber notch]

Thanks and so does that mean that if you have a helmet on but they shoot your jaw ur still dead?

[drifting jolt]

yes

[lunar sage]

Yes

[hot inlet]

Yup

[limber notch]

Damn this game is realistic and hardcore

[burnt mauve]

feels good when you get those chin 1-taps tho

[lunar sage]

Yup

[drifting jolt]

an understatement

[lunar sage]

Picking someone's nose with a bullet is a good feeling lol.

[hot inlet]

Helmets are mainly useful for the odd ricochet and mounting headgear like NVGs

[limber notch]

I need to get used to going for headshots and not centre of mass shots

[lunar sage]

Legs and heads until you get expensive ammo.

[bleak pollen]

yeah

[limber notch]

I just panic and start blasting usually

[lunar sage]

Putting a KS-23 round into someone's legs is nearly guarenteed instant kill.

[dusk swift]

Also anyone know where to find an AKM stock with all LL1?

[cosmic tinsel]

it feels really good being on one side of that, and really bad being on the other

[limber notch]

I walked withing 2m ofa player scav earlier and only realised becuase of bush sound. That was very scary. Then I died to greed

[lunar sage]

No noise, just the death screen is the worst way to die lol.

[dire abyss]

so guys im on a scav run and i spawned whit a sv-99 should i just head to extract ?

[glad oriole]

its called a "labs violet keycard"

[lunar sage]

That's not a ridiculously expensive gun, you're better off looting.

[cosmic tinsel]

sv-98s arent particularly good or valuable, just hang out and get some practice in

[lunar sage]

Sell unless you're going to run labs, which I don't recommend.

[limber notch]

The worst is a loud noise and instant death screen. I usually jump out of my chair

[fleet fjord]

i could use some help please

[lunar sage]

What's up?

[fleet fjord]

i just need someone to show me how to play

[hot inlet]

I don't know specifically but you can view the stocks from dealers, inspect them, and hover over the arrow next to the line that says compatible to see which guns in your possession can equip it

[dire abyss]

am i lucky ?

[lunar sage]

In what way bud? Like map knowledge, keybinds, ?

[fleet fjord]

playing

[misty mortar]

m4 IS SUPPPPER loud

[untold cloud]

i got u

[fleet fjord]

just i find finding extracts hard (even with online maps) playing how to push, do combat, and such

[untold cloud]

ima send u a friend

[fleet fjord]

k

[hushed anchor]

is tarkov-market. com accurate with the prices?

since Im not level 10

For the market prices I mean

[hushed marlin]

What ammo has a good chance to cause a fracture?

[lunar sage]

Yes

[hushed anchor]

It says the m855 is dirt cheap

[buoyant shale]

can anyone buy me a "Magpul M-LOK 4.1 inch guide" from mechanic lvl 2? I'd highly appreciate it

[eager pulsar]

m855 is a type of bullet

[hushed anchor]

Yeah the ammo I meant

I thought it was decent

[hushed marlin]

m855a1 is

[hushed anchor]

Oh alright

Also thought about something, is there a list for all quest items needed

I can find one but it might be outdated

With this tiny inventory its really difficult sorting out what I can sell

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png/revision/latest?cb=20210106213609

[ember pendant]

https://tarkovtracker.io/#/gather

Try that out, Mermy

[eager pulsar]

honestly I just started selling things that are for quests or hideout that I won't need for a really long time

it's made me enjoy the game way more because I can actually make money and have room

[hushed anchor]

Thanks

And I did think of doing that Scy

but I dont have the knowledge of knowing which items I might need in the near future

Id sell everything otherwise

[dire abyss]

i hate snipers scavs

[orchid dagger]

yes not the only one

[eager pulsar]

I hate buckshot scavs

[dire abyss]

i got a diary what should i do whit it

[orchid dagger]

write down your hopes and dreams

or use the wiki

its nice

[eager pulsar]

you can sell it to peacekeeper but idk if that's the best option

[ember pendant]

if you have pk3 do the intel trade

if not, I think fence buys it for flea prices.

[hushed anchor]

One site says you need x3 diaries

the other says you don't

[dire abyss]

im broke on loot where so i go raid ?

whit my pmc

my scav is on cd

[hushed anchor]

Stashed are pretty good

run for your life while hitting stashes

[median edge]

how expensive is gunsmith part 7?

[dire abyss]

witch map @hushed anchor

[cosmic tinsel]

most have stashes. shoreline, woods, interchange, customs

[dire abyss]

im going to try interchange but i just dont know the extract points

[hushed anchor]

I tried it on interchange but ask better players

[ember pendant]

Well the great thing about IC cache runs is you stay outside along the walls

If you just keep going along the wall you'll eventually get to an extract

Hard to get lost. Just gotta figure out where you start at.

[lunar sage]

Best thing you can do is build the preset then find parts and exclude traders, that'll tell you at the bottom how much it is.

[lunar sage]

Pull up a map on mapgenie, otherwise 3 of the corners have extracts.

[bold kernel]

Need help on customs hidden water and delivery from the past please dm

[dire abyss]

interchange seems quite small on the mapgenie

[lunar sage]

It's a 3 level building though, so it's vertically big.

[hushed anchor]

I get lost so easily in interchange

[cosmic tinsel]

interchange is DENSE

[dire abyss]

should i look for wepon crates ?

[ember pendant]

There are some I'd recommend hitting for sure along the way if you are hitting caches.

A lot of the weapon crates are in the parking garage or actually in the mall though.

You could easily do a loot run hitting only weapon boxes in the parking garage and net a decent profit.

[dire abyss]

I spawned near this can some one tel me where i am ?

nvm no use im dead

[lunar sage]

Anyone need help running a quest, lmk, I'm available.

[dire abyss]

my quest i dont think you can help XD

[quiet crown]

i just got this game anyone want to squad

[hushed anchor]

3M armor only/easiest to find in Factory?

[signal fractal]

This grind to level 10 is going to drive me crazy. What is the best map for a noob to focus on starting out?

[lunar sage]

Customs.

[orchid dagger]

id love to play this great game right now but my wifi is weird so I disconnect 10 seconds in raid

[signal fractal]

The videos I looked up says Customs, but my PMC is getting merked there at spawn. lol

I was afraid you would say that! lol @lunar sage

[hot inlet]

Best way to level is to do tasks which means suffering Customs until you get tasks to take you other places lol

[ember pendant]

Just for future knowledge. Circled it for ya.

[orchid dagger]

I have more pmc kills than scavs HELP

[signal fractal]

I am on the kill 15 scavs...only issue is the other PMCs don't like the way I look or something

I am at lvl 9 though. At least there is that

[hushed anchor]

@lunar sage Happen to have a 206 dorms key for the hidden water quest?

Im scared to enter that place so if you want us to try it

Or I'll keep hitting on jackets until i get that key

[signal fractal]

@hushed anchor , I just did that one. Thankfully you do not need to survive the raid. lol

[hot inlet]

Hidden water quest is easy at least as you don't need to find the water a second time

[hushed anchor]

Oh nice

So Im only missing the key

[signal fractal]

I found the keys in the "Crack House" on Customs

[real birch]

I accidentally dropped a plate and said ah blyat how do I stop this from occurring?

[hushed anchor]

Oh my, did you also do the machinery quest @signal fractal

The one for prapor

[cosmic tinsel]

watch more life of boris it might fix it

[orchid dagger]

@real birch learn more Russian turn the whole sentence Russian

[signal fractal]

Is that the pocket watch one? Yeah, found that key in the same building too @hushed anchor

That one you DO have to survive though

[static perch]

Penis

[signal fractal]

^ Found the exit camper.

[lunar sage]

Yes, I have it.

[limber notch]

I jumped by a scav after a fight with no ammo in gun which ruined my raid

[hushed anchor]

Isnt this the same key?

[signal fractal]

Mine was orange

[hushed anchor]

Crap, probably different key then

[hushed anchor]

If you are available and want to do the quest at some point, poke me

[dire abyss]

is battle grip worth taking _

?

[signal fractal]

Says "Machinery Key" @hushed anchor
