@livid nymph Yes you can, but i does not count and you do not get the stuff you looted, on the other side you cant lose anything
most scavs would look like they got jackets, or just really colourful
@arctic hull AI scavs have very distinct movement patterns, also players are usually geared
players also tend to shoot first against most scavs too
idk i cant seem to find a pistol grip for the mp 133
i'm finding it so hard to level up, i want to get to level 10 to unlock flea market so i can start making money, has anyone got any tips?
tried doing factory runs as a lot of guides say but that's way above my skill level
do quests, do loot, survive raids
dying cuts your xp in half if memory serves
right, so i don't have to get kills to make xp?
so be a sneak and try and hit stashes, there are maps for em online
looting gives xp, searching gives xp, healing gives xp, eating/drinking give xp if you're not full
oh nice, thanks
killing npcs gives xp
try to avoid factory in general, at least til your properly geared up
okay, i'm running out of guns though lol, most of my guns are supplied through scav runs
should i just wait with gunsmith 1 till i get the flea market ?
ask someone to buy it for you
i do customs to slowely level up cause i can easily avoid most people until i hit extract or buildings
yeah lmao i dont have anyone that could
@bold kernel you can also check guides for where gun mods tend to spawn
these are rarely looted because most guns mods are not that expensive
yeah makes sense
ive gotten a shoreline key that could spawn a m4
should i just run it
or is it rare
to spawn
what key
Gun spawns arent what you should be worried about.
If you want guns go reserve
what is kektape used for
@violet otter the wiki is your friend, but i think it is needed for hideout upgrades
anyone good at customs? i gotta kill 4 scaves and I am running out of gear lol
^^
i did mp5 gas station old gas station
i haven't made it 100 meters out of spawn the last 6 raids lol
@velvet dove Spawns in customs can be brutal and spawn rushing is a thing. I think pestily made a very good video on that.
iv got the maps pulled up on spawns should i just lay in a bush for like 15 min?
One has to do what one has to do
I’ve done it lol
once again depends on your spawn. Some spawns give you plenty of options. Others literally force you to engage multiple players in the first minutes
lol rough
any new plays down to play customs? im lvl 5
It also depends on your goal in the raid.
You need scav kills right?
@velvet dove i got my shotguns from my scav runs
Yeah if you get an ok spawn I would just camp a bush for a bit and hope no one has thermals and then go to where the scavs spawn
been watching the youtube vids but they making the shit look hella easy xD
I also got my 133s from scav runs
How well do you know the map? Bc map knowledge is important
who brings thermals at customs? Most are more expensive than the average loot value in a custom run
i know it pretty well as far as getting where i need to be but as far as loot goes i still have to pull up the wiki app
Thermal questers
oh i am not that far yet in quests i guess
@velvet dove it's a good idea to get familiar with items needed for hideout and tasks as well as what is expensive on the flea market. Saves you time and changing screens
im lvl 2 cant look at the flea market yet just kinda trying to complet this starter quest for xp
This is the second time today, I go hide in a bush to look up a quest and a map, since I'm new, and I'll just get ran up on and immediately killed by a PMC. Are these guys hacking? they know exactly where I am
any1 wanna extract camp with me
I've tried a few runs as scav and pmc but I'm having trouble finding room key 206. Wiki says scav pockets and backpacks are where they are found. I've found a lot of keys in coats hanging in closets should I keep checking those for 206?
lvl 16 looking for someone who knows interchange and can help me get gas analysers : )
extract camp
@velvet dove there are videos on the topic and sites which monitor the prices
u will find it
Yea jackets should spawn it as well
Alright thanks!
I am looking for that key as well, I got pretty much every other customs key on the way except that
Check filing cabinets as well bc I’ve found it in there as well but I think it’s probably a lower spawn chance
if you have reached lvl 10 though its under 10k on the flea market
That’s not bad
anyone wanna run interchange n get gas analysers w me
the room has no loot, it is only used as a quest location. Thats why
How did you guys get over your fear of going to Resort on Shoreline?
loose a couple of loadouts
Running it over and over until you get use to the area or use to losing your gear lol.
At which point do you consider an armor not worth repairing anymore, let's take for instance the Korund?
I’ve died there more times than I’ve survived so I stay away
I wouldnt use a korund below /36.
okay sounds good
Thanks 🙂
I typically retire my armors at around 70-75%
Go reserve, tons of filing cabinets
reserve is a hellhole rn so many geared chads rushing all buildings its bad at least for the most part
Just don’t go to the chad buildings then
what buildings are not chad buildings
Anyone have any recommendations for good silenced weapons to use for Punisher Part 2?
PP-19 with surpressor is really cheap its like a 10k surpressor and a 20k gun
Not maybe a great choice but--its the cheapest imo
But is it really effective enough to kill scavs on shoreline?
I mean any gun is effective if you can use it appropriately; close distance as much as possible
9mm still travels far; it just loses accuracy and drops a bit--Im sure you can do it
I personally used a surpressed AKM with pso1m2 sight but there are cheaper choices that would work
Aight, ill try one of those two ^-^ Thank u
anyone help a noob 😄
ive had a scope similar and i was told that as well but it didnt do anything which keybind in settings is it i may have accidentally changed it
How do I know how to get to extract points? Just map knownledge?
look for the change magnification keybind
yep. try having a map on a phone/second monitor and looking for landmarks to orient yourself
ok thx
check your keybinds
anyone wanna teach me shoreline and a good loot route with it
:)
thank you
np
my personal recommendation is a suppressed VPO-209 with .366 AP rounds, dirt cheap and it still SMACKS
or .366 EKO is also usable
anyone know if there is an issue with factory matchmaking
just stuck on 'matching...'
i used the exact keybind and it didnt do anything for me
nope just did a factory raid
weird, in queue for 10 min now
what scope are you using @normal dust
the time phase isn't moving either on the 'prepare' screen
can anyone tell me what i should do with tetriz? should i sell on flea market or trade it for a bitcoin off mechanic?
Can anyone recommend me a good beginner setup? Under 60k?
I'm a level 4 so no access to flea
Either look up pestillys shoreline guide or look up a underground stash guide and practice it a few times in offline
Trade for Bitcoin
can someone free up a beginner vc?
ok, thanks
when do I ditch a piece of armor
after its been repaired
like
what percentage of the original max durability
so my stash is all full of stuff and idk what to do with most of it idk what to sell
i keep going into raids and getting more and more and im not dying so im completly full
do you have OED
?
i'd use a document that shows you what you're gonna need with FIR status
god the shot gun with the flash rounds burned my eyes through the monitor
What are some cheap ammos for these mates? 😛
anything you dont need FIR can be sold to free up space. may not be OPTIMAL but its gonna let you keep movin
PLEASE anyone know if the Toz works for tarkov shooter part 3 im 3 secs away from punching my monitor?
definitely not, its a shotgun
also if a game is gonna make you punch your monitor take a break and focus on your positive emotions
and come back when you lookin good feelin good
Does the KS-23M work for punisher part 4?
toz is shotgun
no, it requires 12 gauge
Whats the best map for tshooter 3? i though factory but since they added the vector in the game not so much now
whoops wrong wiki
which one do you recommend going with then
killin scavs? i just took a 133 with some magnum buck and walked around woods
i thought it was kill 15m away with bolt action
is find in raid pmc only ?
you right i was on punisher bc of the other poster
no
I got tarkov shooter 3 done in 3 raids on factory with a vpo. Tried it on other maps with no success
where do I find the big cans of Tushonka for quest I keep only finding the small ones ?
I find a lot of them on woods
ration supply crates
on my 10th raid, i get 3 shots off and die to a vector bruh
just go in naked lmao and hope for hatchlings
i started that on my 5th raid im dying out here
Would that be the construction building on customs with crates could I find them thier
construction building has 1
That big 3 story concrete thing with the crates idk the name
the black bishop building on reserve have multiple ones
btw has flashbangs gotten nerfed? threw one and it landed right at the guys feet he still sees me like nothing happened,just got one guy though
really? My queue time is very low
During the evening mine is 5-10mins usually
For@all maps expect customs
I was playing in the early evening on a sat
Are you using auto server select, that might be why
Yea
Dont do that
Should I bother keeping an Altyn And a Slick I grabbed off someone in Factory?
Select every server that is under 100 ping
👍
farming part 1 with the factory boards worked for me even tho i died
auto server always choses 150+ ping raids for me, lost stuff atleast 3 times due to it. ever since i just set it to the lowest server pings
for a duo to run interchange safe room, do we both need Object 11SR or does just one person need it and we both can extract?
one keycard use opens the door once you click the button everyone in the room extracts
so just one person needs it @heavy shard
Anyone know if a nerf for the vector is coming any time soon?
they've already increased the prices but as to if they are nerfing 9mm i doubt it
the problem with that is it goes against the realism, the vector has an advanced bolt system that does a damn fine job of mitigating recoil
9mm already has its downsides so rather than sitting around waiting for a nerf just adapt to fighting it
for tarkov shooter?
yea
anyone wanna help 2 newbies through customs a few times to show us the ropes. you can keep all loot
honestly use whatevers cheapest, only advice i can give there is if you are using 366 AP it drops harder that most
Any advice for completing the prapor quest "Checking"? I've tried to extract with the pocket watch maybe 10 times now and no luck. I've tried both naked and full gear runs, can't seem to get out.
fortunately i have to be close range
ohhhh that one
366 or 7n1 would be your best bet then, but unfortunately in my experience neither are guaranteed one shot unless its a head shot
yea its hard to combat a vector 25m or less with a bolt but ill try 366 ap
just gotta get the right circumstances, try waiting a little then going for it or try and find a duo/trio
just slaps a guy yayyy
366 ap can one tap thorax thru class 4
@quick roost i snagged pocketwatch then just ran to crossroads extract
just gotta yolo it
where the pocket watch is is super hot so either rush to get it and leave (no looting) or wait it out
^
sometimes armor takes off enough dmg to save you so it can but its not guaranteed
can being the operative word
yeah
alright well thanks for the advice gonna try to snag this last kill rq
good luck, im not doing that quest for a while lol
What should i keep and what should i sell?
oh boy
someone posted a super good guide for task items up above^
def sell those GPs though to therapist
if your that concerned about quest/hideout items then there are plenty of guides and images with all the items you need
idk what your hideout/quests are so i couldnt tell you what your going to need
are the chainlets worth keeping?
no
no
2 chainlets + 1 rec bat = adar from skiier 🤷
is this a good armoured rig to use? is there any better similar options?
thats my go to budget rig
^
define budget lol
class 4
is this a good config?
decent
use what works for you
totally fine, you'll be able to move to a sicc case to combine the cash, keytool, and dogtags at some point
docs case bas same thing as roubles + keychain
but you can hold bitcoins too
imo i would ditch the keytool/dogtags case and use a docs case or S I C C instead
Anybody trying to help me get some tasks done, just tryna get too lvl 10 I’m at 8 Rn
how much would it cost to fully repair a broken one and is it worth it?
51
Anyone mind helping with the extortionist? I have the key already.
getting hurt
specifically getting damage related debuffs
should i die or live or does that even matter as long as dmg was done?
Are some extracts still fucked? We had extract timer for down but didn’t take us out
you could bring a bunch of alu splints and then keep jumpin off stuff ha
certain extracts have been bugged for me
yes, Ruaf mainly
That happened to me @gloomy glade on Woods with the paid extract
customs RUAf and interchange V exit were broke for me idk if they fixed either
ruaf works for me like, 60% of the time
best place to find Respirators? or just any scav
ive gotten em off scavs and scav runs
is 7.62x54 Tracers better than 366ap? just hit someone 4 times and they didnt even take more than 200 dmg
pen wise
anyone know what rarity a half mask is ?
more like 22-23, depends on the weather
22ish is when it gets dark dark
Sometimes ill sneak in like a 2000 raid without NVG but keep in mind it will be getting dark halfway through the raid
im so excited to see how a night raid will be
They are pretty cool aesthetically
@robust light its 21 rn should I leave for reserve now?
I feel the types of players in them is widened even more than regular raids lol. I feel like its pistolings with pacas or terminators with thermals
any level 20s with mechanic level 2 in here who want to make 40k real quick? dm me
Im new looking fir help if anyone can help me
trying to hopefully run into less people
lol
Like it may be by the time you load in
im ok with a few geared people but im sick of 100 snipers everywhere I go on reserve day
you'll prob still get sniped tbh
Reserve is also imo the hardest map for pmc's in the game
guys how do i get this to less than 950 sum recoil?
You need a grip on it
I do fine on it but sometimes when im moving in the bunker/train on it I hear bullets whizzing by my head all the time lol
I stick to foliage and the edges of the map when I need to move to a different building
where from?
gotta go kill another scav?
i turned my other 2 mp-133 in first stupidly i'm sure one would have had a grip
wait so is there a functional reason to go at night time :?
@polar current I think you'll probably have better luck at night because there is less PMCS and most will have a harder time seeing you or even looking for a fight
I mean I have no issue with pvp but its really just snipers
Most importantly on reserve there won't be the endless player scav army
HELP cannot find EASTERN ROCK EXTRACT WOODS, CALL ME
You'll probably have better luck because it's harder too see and therfore snipe
hopefully.
if I do get better luck with snipers im prob going to be going at night alot
And I don't feel people like sniping at night as much because there's less things to shoot
grip didnt do anything other than cost me 35 dollars lol
just hug the wall below northern un roadblock
found it somehow xD
@robust light here we go lol
Im new looking for help if anyone can help me
Oh @jade prawn you also need the compensator
dear Nikita pls no snipers ty
You could always dabble in the rat tunnels if your really sick of snipers lol
The downside? Your now in the rat tunnels
Its really only an issue when I want to go from RB-VO to the white night building
and you gotta worry about shotguns instead of snipers XD
Any free to answer this, killed a lvl 38 in raid, extracted and now some gear I'm not able to sell because it's not "found in raid" when it was?
anyone know if i can just put a hamr sight on an m4 or do i need something else
Found in raid means the gear spawned in that raid
If someone brought it in its no longer technically "in raid"
Its weird but how it is
That is a weird system, but eh it is what it is. Thanks
yeah so you cant ussually put guns and gear you get off people you klill on the market
well if player brought in items also had the found in raid tag when you killed someone. It would defeat the purpose of what it was introduced in the first place
Thanks, Was this different a few patch's ago?
yes, before you could sell anything on the market
it was like 2 wipes ago they implemented the found in raid status to deter things such as hatchet running among other things
Thanks, that's why I got confused. Cheers
yeah its strange, so for instance if you need to find something found in raid for a trader, its not ussually worth a spot in your secure container because if you die it loses the found in raid status
Yeah i figured that one out. Just the items on the pmc was confusing me
i clap 2 fully stacked pmcs with a shotgun and get fucked by their third mate
unlucky
tell me about it lol had that happen yesterday
had a good run fended off a few people
killed by a group of 4
straight up death squad lol
they were fucking stacked
will this stop if i lose jaeger l3 ?
well lmk if anyone is running scavs or early quests could use some help
my stash is full full
bring bandages but if youre that new try watching a few youtube videos
go into a couple offline raids before you play too
and the INSPECT button is your bestfriend if youre clueless, right click an item and inspect it
itll tell you what the item is used foir
Anybody tryna help me with the mechanic shotgun task I need to get too lvl 10, I’ll give u the roubles if you can make it in the flea market 🙂
What are some good noob guns? Im using the Hunter SKS with scopes right now, also looking into modding AK74 and 74U and the 366 variants
Seems cheap and parts are available
That Silenced M4 was looted off a player
This is what I am working with
Wdym noob guns. Youre doing prwtty good.
I guess I am new to weapon modding in general
and I recently unlocked the flea market
the .366 aks when used with AP rounds are unironically quite good
suppressors are dirt cheap as well
Just not sure where to go from here. I know I need to put different rails on some of the 366 AKs to put scopes on I think
youll probally need a bastion dust cover
Ill write that down
Engineerguy do you only have that 1 extra armour and rig?
Well no, I have like 5 of each in insurance collection waiting lmao
They arent all nice rigs like that though
Ah ok, i have like 3 armour and 5 rigs. My stash is so full and messy
How many mags is to many to take into a raid
depends on the gun and your ammo avalibilty
MP5SD
If 30 rnds I usually take 1 in gun and 2 spare. I usually either die before using them all or extract
id bringe at least 4 for the MP5SD
I was under the impression I could buy a separate barrel and stock and build a gun from there, but it seems I was mistaken?
it also depends on what ammo your using, the mags are cheap and so is bad ammo
The barrels/stock need to be compatible
And i think you need a workbench for some mods
I'm trying to build a mosin. I have lvl 1 workbench, preset tells me the stock and barrel are compatible
Idk, im not that far yet xD
Maybe they need somwthing else to attach to
Like some stocks need a special clip
Yes, the firing mechanism seems to be missing
I have the mosin clip
The 4 round one
@robust light I have determined that night time is a no go for me
lol
sticking to daytime
Yeah... F night time
shame, what happened
Accidentally picked factory by night the second day I played....
@robust light Its just the fact that im toggling nvg on or off depending on if im in a building and all that
That shit'll get you PTSD
and then sights glow so bright you cant see through them with nvg @robust light
yeah depending on your sights some are practically unusable
need things like valdays without a glowing sight
fastest way to lvl sniping?
and anyone know what the blue and red arrows are in the skill bars?
mount
Basically its cause you are asking what can be directly mounted to the gun, some scopes need special mounts for them
They dont mount to the rpk directly, they mount the the rail that is ontop of the gun
i guess it will show up if i linked search the dust cover
Cause the regular dust cover doesn't have a rail
thanks
I agree but its probably the way the game is coded
whats a good gun to do sbih?
the one you are most familiar with the bullet drop of, failing that, any high velocity round
adar shoots 556, for example
anyone wanna help me with loot?
i will trade a vector with attachments as well as two full mags
what do the question marks mean?
you killed a player
but didnt get the dog tag
so you cant see name level or distance
do i have to hand in my flash drives to skier or can i do whatever i want with them?
you should hand them in
where is the best place to find a sewela
oh, thanks Towall
idk i walk thru woods for 20 minutes looking for this one thing i got to the outskirts exit but it wont let me out
do you have outskirts?
can someone help me find jaegers camp?
hello, i just bought escape from tarkov, i just wanted to know when does the invitation to the beta arrives?
you can log in your account on the page and get the download link directly from it
rather than wait for the email
in my profile?
yeah it should be there
what happens to stats if i have a foregrip with recoil reduction with a vertical grip with recoil reduction?
it doesnt stack right?
example please?
cuz a vertical grip is a fore grip
asking if the stat changes stack or if its only applied to the vertical foregrip
ofc they stacks, everything stacks
couldnt i stack a bunch of handguards then
can u do the search mission on woods as a scav ?
only quests you can do as a scav are ones where you have to find in raid items
oh ok
Anyone having problems going into woods to unlock J as a trader?
scav spawned with AKM and drum mag 
lol woods makes me nervous
and no rear sight/stock
on 1 gun? no
yes. But it came with a silencer, too
600 total recoil combo
wow
is customs an easy map to learn? I just spend a round on it as a scav and had no idea what I was doing, even with a map
felt that
I learned coastline pretty quickly
customs is fairly easy to learn, thats where people say to start
i think i knew customs fairly well after 5 ish rounds with some VERY light exploring
i just have a hard time finding extractions
few times ive had problems was mixing up pmc and scav extracts
On shoreline the hospital thing is the most dangerous area. What is most dangerous area on Customs
What is the easiest way to do shooter born in heaven ive never done it b4
there are a few extracts that have requirements and idk how to do them
im not sure tbh
and shooty born in heaven you might need a partner or just find a decent vantage point and bonk people
shooter*
btw anyone up for some scav runs
where does one find a spark plug? Also if I kill scav's for prapor as a scav does it count
No you have to do it as a pmc
ok
Spark plugs can commonly be found in OLI on interchange if you really need them
is that the only place?
Or in toolboxes
ok
No they can spawn basically anywhere loot spawns
can someone drop me a 30mm scope mount and hogue grip for the RSASS gunsmith quest?
Is it worth modding out the MP5 or sell it ?
what is bigger: coastline or customs
coastline 
@smoky wing use this chat for asking questions!
anyone wanna run customs with me im fresh to the game only level three have the map down trho
Coastline kekw
should I be trading tetriz into bitcoins?
Yes
Is it smart to change your lean left and lean right buttons to the side mouse buttons so you can move and lean easier or is that a completely bad idea? I haven't tried it yet, thought I would ask first.
That is the only thing they are used for
thanks
go in offline raids to try it. Keybinds are something very personally customized. As long as it works for you go for it
I forgot about offline, Thank you!
Is it possible to get loot back from labs if you insure it now ? I got told previously it wasnt but now it is
luckiest scav run ever found bitcoin keycard mark room key and a dmt with a scope lol
what do gp coins do
Pls help, i have tetriz rn should i trade it in for a bitcoin?
and if so can i sell it to the therapist?
You trade the tetris for bitcoin and sell to therapist for 500ish k
bitcoin going down in price
Or save up 10 coins for a case I think
so either sell now or wait till bitcoin goes up again
Does anyone know how to play this and willing to help me?
any beginners wanna team up???
@bitter locust I bought tarkov
Whats more worth save money or buy upgrades for hideout?
hideout can generate money, so probably that
Ok ty

hey i am new to the game and dont know what to do

Hey i used to play so ive got alot of things known but still need help. so if anyone wants to play wioth me who can help me please do
theres a diminishing returns formula.... it slows down, and then after a period of not using it, it returns to normal
Any Woods players online that I can stream to that can guide me to an extract? New Player
for the quest that I need to visit a bunch of stores in interchange, do I need to do this all in one run?
actually now that I look at a map it doesnt seem so bad
In factory in the 3 story building theres the room upstairs that is locked, what key opens that door?
factory key, there's nothing in there worth taking
@eager pulsar No. You just need to go into the store. If you die it still counts as having gone to them.
Ok thanks
oh nice
any experienced woods players mind helping me out on jaeger quest please?
which quest.
Trying to find the treehouse?
Are you in raid? Best thing to do is just go into woods a few times offline, and pull out a map from the wiki.
i mean. if you're chad enough you can run around avoiding all the pmc and scav snipers. really gets the blood pumping.
nah i suck at this game lol
yo we aloud to ask for help with our stash sayin sht we need and wot we dont?
what
yes... but typing better helps.. lolz
would sherpas help with that or just ask around?
sherpas almost never help people here
hey im new to tarkov and im looking for someone to run me through the ropes of tarkov
rip
would an Oceania player be able to help me i'm a new player?
Oceania because of lag
we can...
just ask someone to join a voice chat with you and tell you what to sell basically
First and foremost, use maps on a 2nd monitor or phone, in game maps are worthless
@hollow umbra 2nd, guns dont do damage, bullets do, so here's a bullet guide https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pp8tKScb0jB66cOCJSAlNn-iKERMXd9FVkSmSq83qn8/edit

okay thanks
@hollow umbra Do offline raids first, run customs... click your PMC, choose a map, dont play before 6:00 or after 18:00 bc of night time... then click the checkbox to enable offline mode
enable PvE
so AI scavs are on the map
then run around looking at shit and try to orient yourself
@hollow umbra learning the gunplay and map knowledge are the 2 major things to learn in order to have an edge over your opponent
okay
@hollow umbra Youre going to die... a lot... this game is far from easy...
Dont get discouraged... play slowly when online
listen a lot... sound is a big one
Okay thanks
PMC is take in your own gear, you die you lose it... scav is spawning as a rando with a rando gear set, and is strictly for making $
yea i know that
kk
i messed around in offline for a little bit
k good
theres no real right answer. go to the traders and they can give you quests.
There are some players out there that never do quests and just run around and fight other people. Others are skittish and try to get out with as much loot as possible. And inbetween. Enjoy the game however you want.
youtube
ill figure out a playstyle
yea i originally wanted to get into tarkov becuase i watch aqua fps, and general sam
General Sam will teach you everything you need to know
also don't play like shroud, or summitg1, or pestily. super aggro playstyles require a lot of knowledge, risk assessment and skill.
#ratlife
lol
i go in thicc and if i don't think i'll have an advantage i'll just scurry away. 🤷♂️
GL all-in
Or just be level 40 and extract camp like most level 40 shitters in this game :]
Questing to that kind of level with 0 knowledge of game, pog
i exctract camped once. and i just ended up killing a level 5 with moderately good gear. i felt so bad i didn't even take out and got out.
never did again. lol
anyone willing to hook me up with some food so i can keep my energy up? lvl 6 and I die more from no energy than pmc/scavs
would an australian be able to help me out im new to this game
im very low level looking for someone to teach me the game. just dm me. any help is appreaciated
any one eu struggling with cowboy hat quest or mp-133 found in raid shotgun? my scav has one and can give it !
what part you need help with
just need someone to run a few raids with and to teach me the tips and tricks
suggest going to get a sherpa then
well isnt that nice of you lol
are you on woods?
yes
likes like sw of mill
That rock is not very helpful, you can't see anything else around you
nvm its around zb014 where i spawned
had to run since i failed to ambush a guy who was on top of me lmao
I'm sure it'll just take looking everything up on the wiki, but how do I know - out of all these items - what to keep, what to sell...what to use.. etc. (Prior to lvl 10)
Look at what you need for hideout upgrades, dont get rid of those
If I have a laser/flashlight active on my weapon and I switch to weapon on back or pistol, does the laser/flashlight remain on?
yes
Good to know, thanks!
yes and yes
should be where mountain stash is I believe
sweet we can go on a scav run i give you these and we extract after 10 min or after we kill something
if you do interchange... then yall can use scav camp and extract as a PMC scav combo
dont you need a scav and a pmc , wont work with two scavs?
are gm counters worth keeping?
at scav camp... it's one of hte 2 extracts in game where you need a PMC and a scav to extract... so it would be fun to use that
coins? there is a barter trade or 2 with tthem, but i just sell them to therapist
yes but we are going in as scavs , ur point is not clear , who the hell will be the pmc
Just got Tarkov recently and did awful, could use some guidance soon, DM me if your willing to help. I understand the basics. Thanks
The Coins trade for MP7 and other things if pvp isn’t your thing sell to therapist or market
@pulsar kite oh true, the other person could be a scav or PMC, doesnt matter, my bad
Not currently worth keeping IMO
Alright thanks
What about Cyclon batteries? I know they are worth a bit on flea but I haven't unlocked it and need space
I've got so much junk it's frustrating lol
if youd like i can join you in a voice chat and help you with inventory management
Sure
pick one and tell me which one
I'll just call you is that cool?
@vague pivot slightly outdated but this is the basics
you coming to join me for a scav run to get them or no?
Ihad the cowboy hat mixed up with another item
@vague pivot also you can track your progress at https://eft-graph.com

Best place to find and kill scavs on woods?
Sawmill, Scav House
could use some help i either keep getting team killed or i do something stupid like break both legs
Did the hideout bitcoin farm has been incresead to 7Hours with full 50/50 or is a bug on my screen ?
Thank you
Can you elaborate?
also im broke from trying to play this like arma
Bitcoin got nerfed so it takes longer now to max profit 25/50 is rec if you play once a day
my mic doesnt pick up half the time i make stupid jumps etc
that's simply not fair , Graphic card being 800k+ and bitcoin is down on 400k
just made it full 50/50 to find out that is 7 hours per bitcoin
Flea market prices don’t count towards balance since the players decide that just traders. The best thing to do rn if you play once a day is to do 25/50 and sell the rest of the graphics cards. If you log on regularly then 50/50 is good
I’m confused tbh
well when people ask me to call myself out discord is simply not transmitting half the time even though the mic works which results in team kills and trying to parkour with no skill is pretty much a death sentence
Ah That’s more of a discord issue and hardware issue than the game. Squads usually wear arm bands or specific gear to know who’s who. Otherwise check your discord settings and mess around with mic sensitivity
ok and could use help learning maps
In the #sherpa-info there’s a link to a Sherpa server join it if you need someone to guide you otherwise YouTube Pestilly Voxe etc
offline raids... following someone else will not help you learn.. you have to soak it in yourself
Im a noob looking for help on some tasks so i can get lvl 10
would really appreciate it if i can get some help
Can anyone give some good tips to get to level 10 fast, i have been doing missions and progressed fairly well but i'm only level 8. And now the missions i have now mostly require luck
@uneven cradle you needs 57k total for level 8... so under overall you can see how close you are... but headshots are a 150 extra exp...
and double check y our dealers to see if they have new quests available, bc some are locked behind level, or whether or not youve done tasks for another dealer
no one?
Bro, a lot of people prefer answering questions over running raids... consider finding a sherpa
tf is a sherpa?
type !sherpahub
!sherpahub
Sherpas basically help new players learn the game and run tasks.
oooh I got a PVS14
should i keep or sell DVD
ty
np
@mental dagger You cant use all barter trades in game... find a few you like and use those, but dont worry about using them consistently
what do i do with the bitcoin i got from gunsmith quest?
sell to therapist
thx
np
convenient that i already had a lot of the parts i needed to make the gun
one and a half million :)
dont focus on gunsmith quests early
why not?
they're not too expensive too do
especially if you already have some parts
@celest siren theyre money sinks (designed just to take $ from you)
and can be done at any time
I need help placing object by admin office in factory. Delivery from the past Part 1. I've done it 3 times now and can't place it i always get killed.
Use #pvp-lfg and join a 5 man, and then no other PMCs will be in the raid
so if i do a task and it says its done. but i need to still survive. do i just do a raid and get out and it will finish?
some require you to extract others just require you to get it done regardless if you die after completion
if it's a task where you have to find something or plant something... if you die, you just then have to go in and survive a raid
as long as you found it or planted it
great thanks @drifting jolt
np
i suck
What does a "Wrong Item Cost" error mean coming out of a raid?
It was after healing, and now I am just in some blank loading screen
I dont want to lose my stuff : ( extracted so full
allright whats a good shotgun+ammo i can buy from traders lvl 2 to go kill people in factory?
8.5 magnum buck
CAN SOMEONE GUIDE ME OUT OF LABS IF I SHARE SCREEN
What are the better maps for money runs

Tarkov BREAKDOWN Series (PVP Scenarios exp...
essentially you go around the big mall and collect stashes. Relatively risk free since most players go inside the mall
Sweet thanks man was planning on offline raiding interchange after work to learn the extracts
extracts are also very easy. Theres one in the top left/north west , and one on the opposite side bottom right/south east. No matter where you spawn you just have to go to the other side of the mall
(there are a few optional extracts, but lets keep it easy for now)
and when youre done with your cache run around the mall, you end up where the extract is anyways
Nice sks and backpack time
just started this wipe and need someone to help me and carry me threw some of my quest :(
There not to bad solo
maybe for u
Lol this is my first wipe
nice not everyone is still like u tho 🙂
@proud tide try to just learn the game slowly and quests will come to you just passively. If you struggle with a specific quest you can ask the sherpa service for help
Ok just saying u can try while u wait for someone but ur call
u are right it is my call and im gonna stick with it thx for the chat 🙂
lmao the passive aggressiveness
Wow ok
its ok
i know it is
ask sherpa if you have troubles^^
In a dickish way
is it tho
every time i play with a group im the first one to die, usually to a single headshot from someone none of us saw. i played with 2, 3 and 4 players and no matter where i stand in the group or how i move, i almost always die first. i dont have different armor from them and i dont move differently from them. but i always get killed off first.
am i simply unlucky ?
idk who needs to hear this. But the penis helmet (default helmet till high level) is 22k. However you can buy 2xbleach on the flea market for 15-18k and trade that in for a 6b47 helmet, which is just as good as the penis helmet but doenst have a huge ergo penalty
so cheaper and better
Nice
@winged night this can have a lot to do with your general movement. Never walk in straight lines, always jiggle around a bit, random crouches, never stand still
essentially always assume someones looking at you through a scope
Please carry me
yeah i always move as if im in someone's crosshair
and my teammates literally run in a straight line sometimes
i swear even scavs shoot me first, when im behind other players
straight up. that happened last evening
lmao unlucky
never show yourself to a scav for more than like 3 seconds
they have a 3 second "dummy" window where they just shout at you
but then they go aimbot mode
yeah, i was playing with 2 players on factory, and a scav headshot all of us in like 2 seconds after peeking from beind cover. we all had nice gear but no good face shields
it felt so shitty haha
Ya happened to me yesterday too lol
I had 2 guys in my pmc raid on shorline come up to me with only melee and do the side by side dance and wheni killed them i couldnt loot there melee weapins
whhat the hell happened
2 seperste guyd
10 min apart maybe
Factory pistol only, dropped 3 pmc and 2 player scavs leaving geared and 1 tapped by scav rip
i dont think you can normally loot melee weapons
Well whats the odds of 2 random scavs or players doing that and ehy
Of they are a player u can't loot melee weapons might have just been messing around
pistol factory is so weird. You can go in with no gear and a pistol and clear the entire raid, or you go in fully geared and die immediately
no in between
Ya game after I got spawn naded lol
Does morphine work for the Junkie task?
i would like to know too
yea
it does for sure?
It did last wipe for sure
so did hot rods and milk
Obdolbos is suppose to be the hip thing now though. 30 minute stim.
30k for that versus 30k for 3 morphines that last 9 minutes. Just food for thought.
thanks just bought it, dude you dont know how many propitals i just bought lol
propitol is a dank stim though
my favorite PK
I just asked a buddy who has kappa this wipe and he said morphine does NOT count
@charred cloud @tropic crater Just a headsup, i was wrong.
thanks, tried it and it didnt count at first so i wanted to ask
@uncut magnet you should really learn interchange cache run, i went in with nothing but a few meds and my vepr hunter and came out with 1 million in stuff
@barren sapphire dam thats real nice ya I plan on learning it as soon as I'm off work just started learning woods a day ago
whats a good lvl 2 trader weapon to quickly get a kill on factory
dont wanna use my trusty vepr hunter
Yo, could someone explain to me how armor and pen works? Bc I shot killa twice in the head with .50 12ga shells, and his helmet absorbed 200 damage, and he only to one hit to his actual health?
Like....wtf?
there you see what kinda armor class your ammo can penetrate
if the slot is "green" it can penetrate that class
.50BMG shell can penetrate up to class 3
so i guess killas helmet is at least class 4
the helmet is class 4, but the face shield is class 6
he has a tier 6 face shield
any new players who wanna play? europe
Hey is tarkov down for you guys
any one eu , need an mp-133 found in raid? and kinda cowboy hat?
hey @sterile raptor can i join u need some help
i have space for one more person in 3 man squad 9, helping newer people with their quests on customs
@zinc fiber you still got that spot ?
im full now but let me help this man out and i should be able to help you
awesomne!
how does insurance works ? im kinda lost
if you insure and item before a raid, until you die that item has a sort of "return to sender label on it ". So if you die in a raid with the insured item and no one takes it in that raid only, youll eventually getit back between 24-48 hours
Anyone down to duo run lvl 6
then what's the point of insuring big cost stuff everyone would take it because it cost so much righ ?
Just got the game and need help 🙂 , US west
Most of the time but it depends
and also another question how do u get a better pouch ?
i unlocked the 3x2 in peacekeeper but it cost so much that it doesn't seem worth trading for it is there other ways ?
That's the only way to get it unless you buy the upgraded version of the game
in which case you'll get a bigger pouch
i saw some videos with a 4x2 and 4x4 how do u get those ?
the 4x4 is endgame, the one you get from the upgraded edition is actually 3x3
I'm unsure if there are other sizes inbetween somewhere
okay thx 🙂
No problem
Its 4x3, the Kappa, besides that. Yes
Been trying to kill scavs on customs for task but can’t find any. I’ve been going to the spots marked on online maps and I’ve had 5 games now where I didn’t see a single one. Any advice?
Ahh great, wasnt sure
