beginners-assistance

[chilly plume]

i just dont know what to do i feel like im stuck and im pretty sure im doing everything right

last wipe i was doing great and had tons of shit but now im struggling

[hard arch]

i just started a few weeks back so i

am still struggling in some aspects but

i think i'm doing better the more i play

[drifting jolt]

only way to get better is experience

[chilly plume]

i feel like i just cant get anything done in game and im stuck, makes me feel like quitting

dont know what im doing wrong, ive been doing lots of raids but still cant survive a single one

[drifting jolt]

there's nothing we can do to dissuade you, you just need to play a bit smarter

@chilly plume if you cant survive a single raid then youre doing something fundamentally wrong...

[chilly plume]

i know

i know im doing something wrong but i dont know what

[drifting jolt]

move with intent... dont just wander the maps... move from bush to bush, or cover to cover, listen a bit, move when its quiet

dont take any shots you know you cant hit

[chilly plume]

think ive been doing the right stuff but havent been doing it well if you know what i mean

[deep pelican]

scav interchange between pmcs and loot bodies by kiba

[drifting jolt]

@chilly plume you can always just take a break, your mindset will screw you over if you've been dying a lot

[deep pelican]

youll make hella money easily

and can keep working on pmc stuff

[chilly plume]

i dont need money rn i need to level up lol

[deep pelican]

then bring better gear on your pmc

if you have money

[chilly plume]

im lvl 5 tho

[deep pelican]

it all goes full circle

[chilly plume]

dont exactly have access to good gear at lvl 5, no flea market yet

[deep pelican]

yea but i doubt youre bringing anything worthwhile as is

[chilly plume]

usually every raid i can shove in some decent loot in my container and make money but i never manage to extract

[drifting jolt]

SKS with PS rounds are your best bet

[chilly plume]

thats what ive been usin

[viral tartan]

or vepr km receivers from fence with 10 rounders

[chilly plume]

anyways im gonna try and do some more raids rn and try out diff stuff

[viral tartan]

reloads more conveniently for a little more money

[drifting jolt]

good luck

[chilly plume]

o shit i got an mp 133 from fence lol

just need 1 more now

[halcyon patio]

Why does tarkov not make any sound?

[chilly plume]

your pc volume must be down

or your game volume

if not either try restarting

[halcyon patio]

nope

tried that

My sound was on my second monitor

and my second monitor was crashing my pc.

[chilly plume]

something is wrong with your game then if nothing you tried is workin

[drifting jolt]

change it to borderless and restart your game

that may help

close the launcher too

[halcyon patio]

didnt work

[deep pelican]

also.. its triggering me that your name isnt "YoureTooSlowTV"

[halcyon patio]

yeah need to change my user on twitch

i have it Youre on tarkov

[deep pelican]

ah fair enough

makes me feel better 😄

[orchid stump]

What are the different map themes? Like customs I know is beginner friendly to longer ranges and general useful items

[silver hornet]

Labs is where you go to cry.

[bronze void]

Reserve is where you go to rat

[halcyon patio]

i went labs and got desyncs

and couldnt hear shit

[orchid stump]

I know to avoid labs, but so far Ive tried the woods twice and it was too big and confusing. Even after running an offline misson.

Reserves is good you say?

[bronze void]

reserve has ton of loot everywhere, if you know where to go you can avoid crowded areas and get decent loot

[orchid stump]

With factory I either make it out alive with good loot but 6/10 times I die lol

[bronze void]

i would reserve is the best map to go as scav

[chilly plume]

fuck yes i managed to do the mp 133 prapor task

i no longer want to uninstall the game lol

[bronze void]

if you survive 60% of factory raids you are doing fine, its more of a pvp map anyway

[orchid stump]

its the opposite lol 40% survival rate with factory

or thats my best guess anyway

but good to know its pvp orientated

[bronze void]

interchange is also a map with a lot of loot even if you avoid the most crowded areas

[ancient star]

k so i dmed the mod mail and i just wait?

[silver hornet]

yep

[ancient star]

cool

he said he was gonna give me back my stuff and then he just dipped lmao

maybe i shouldnt be so trusting of people

[silver hornet]

mods probably aren't going to do anything about that unless he TK'd you

[ancient star]

he did

[silver hornet]

do you have video proof?

[ancient star]

like right at the start of the raid

fuck no i didnt record it dammit

i have witnesses tho

[silver hornet]

doesn't matter

[ancient star]

rip

[silver hornet]

mods only accept video proof

[ancient star]

rip i should have recorded it

[bold kernel]

anyone want to teach me how to play customs

I'm experienced but not quite knowledgable in everything yet

I’m lvl 11 and have a good general idea of the game I just need help getting better

[red flame]

How does someone increase your skill for you

[smoky wing]

Ye only video proof with discord overlay on

I dont get people TK in this game lol

[red flame]

Hoping the karma system super punishes them.

[ancient star]

he lost a med case lmaoo

kharma definetlly got him

[red flame]

Like they can't fire any gun for multiple raida

[smoky wing]

^ you know that the karma system is not about TK tho

[red flame]

It isn't, but it could be.

Could be added to it. Only makes sense if karma fucks you for fucking your team.

[smoky wing]

Last time they wanted to punish people for killing guys from the same faction

Like wtf

[red flame]

That is what they want.

[frail stone]

i think it would be more interesting of a game

why would you shoot your own guys

[smoky wing]

^ cuz they are not your own guys

[frail stone]

it creates more tension ingame

[red flame]

I think regardless of faction, pre-made teams are off limits

[frail stone]

they are your own guys

[smoky wing]

How so? If they want to kill you at the end

[frail stone]

thats not by design :pepega:

[smoky wing]

It kinda is tho

[red flame]

Lore explains the factions help themselves out.

[smoky wing]

Someone here didnt read the lore

[red flame]

What are you even arguing

Legit they are making it so if you shoot your own faction you get fucked

[frail stone]

sounds good to me

[smoky wing]

Way to kill tarkov lol

[red flame]

But if you shoot a pre-made teammate, it should still be considered fucked.

Kill tarkov for speds

[frail stone]

wittle baby cant handle not kosing

[smoky wing]

XD

[frail stone]

oh my god a little complexity and the game is dead

[smoky wing]

Are we playing the same game?

[red flame]

Legit dude only plays factory

[smoky wing]

Its not dark RP

This game is all about kos

[lilac spindle]

Hey is there people that show you how to play?

[blissful lagoon]

Let's change the topic

[frail stone]

its not cod free for all either

[smoky wing]

Kinda is tho

[blissful lagoon]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.gg/RspH4jw

[blissful lagoon]

@lilac spindle ^

[smoky wing]

You even get tasks to kill your "own guys"

[frail stone]

damn tarkov is a br

[smoky wing]

So dunno what u talking about

[red flame]

They're putting in the last components for true rp

So buckle up, kid

Lol

[smoky wing]

I hope that entire karma thing will be purely cosmetic

[frail stone]

they give you all these options to talk, and use hand signals

and apparently youre not supposed to use them. only kill on sight

[smoky wing]

^ kinda?

Never in 700h or so in tarkov

Have i met anyone shouting to be friendly

[frail stone]

i love hitting the talk button, its funny

[smoky wing]

Ye and the other guy rushes you and starys shooting

[red flame]

I've met friendly people

[smoky wing]

Cuz nobody cares about them

[red flame]

You just kos

[frail stone]

^^

[red flame]

Of course you wouldn't meet one

[honest estuary]

Doesn't everyone kos?

[rose ingot]

Are there any better options for body armor than a paca for a lvl 3?

[frail stone]

if i catch the back of a pmc that hasnt shot at me or my friends im just gonna leave him.

[smoky wing]

@honest estuary 99% of tarkoc

[rose ingot]

paca doesnt block shit which i learned from the last wip[e

[red flame]

Half the players you meet you can bully and not even shoot.

Chop their ankles

[smoky wing]

@rose ingot paca is only good for scavs

[rose ingot]

yes ive learned that

[smoky wing]

So u dont get tapped by random magnum buck

[rose ingot]

and it kinda sucks tho

[frail stone]

i had buckshot go clean trough level 4 ceramic at full hp so i dont know anymore

[rose ingot]

rng

[smoky wing]

Other than that. Not rly

In the spot we are in the wipe

[frail stone]

atleast my dick flap worked

[rose ingot]

do armored hybrid vests work ? or is it essentiall the fuckin same

[smoky wing]

I think that if u delete scavs out of equation, all armour sets below 4 are cosmetics

[rose ingot]

*essentialy

[frail stone]

there are some pretty good hybrid vests

i have a couple level 4 hybrids

[smoky wing]

Dafuq is a hybrid vesy

Vest

[frail stone]

he means body armor and tac rig im guessing

[rose ingot]

yeah

[smoky wing]

Its armoured rig

[rose ingot]

ight cool

[frail stone]

everyone else understood what he was saying

its fine

[smoky wing]

And about rigs, most people dislike them

[rose ingot]

yes but i also dislike getting 1 tapped in the chest by a meta m4 build

[frail stone]

you can get good armor and a great rig separately

and it tends to be much better than armor+rig

[smoky wing]

Well you can't get 1 tapped by any m4 in the chest

[red flame]

At level 3

[smoky wing]

More like 2 or 3 tapped

[red flame]

Buying armor won't be that plausible

[rose ingot]

could be latency then

[red flame]

Even M855 one taps tier 3

[smoky wing]

It does not one tap, it goes thru tho

[chilly plume]

fucks sake every time im about to extract with good shit somebody is at the extract and i die

[red flame]

That's one tapping

[smoky wing]

One tapping is dying to 1 shot

Aka 1 tap of the trigger/mouse

[rose ingot]

this prapor quest is taking so much longer than it should

[frail stone]

ive been 1 tapped trough level 4 twice, but it hasnt happened since

[smoky wing]

That is why i also said that any armour below 4 is simply not worth 90% of the time

[frail stone]

probably lag

[smoky wing]

@frail stone some weapons can do that tho

Or u could die to fragmentation

[rose ingot]

i have more pmc kills than scav kills cause as soon as i shoot once

[frail stone]

a scav did that to me

bro

[smoky wing]

Yeah, fragmentation

[rose ingot]

an army of pmcs are shooting me at gas station

[smoky wing]

They can fragment as well

[frail stone]

i hit a scav 19 times with m855, i should have screencapped it

and died to a 1 tap trough level 4

[smoky wing]

@frail stone well last scav i killed

Had a level 5 body armour on him

[frail stone]

19 times and he lived

[smoky wing]

Gzhel could do that

[rose ingot]

ive just been spamming ssh-68's with an sks and ive managed to burn through 150k

[frail stone]

i have some crazy good sks ammo

[smoky wing]

Aight so isopod here is the thing

Any armour below 4 will not protect u from anything except random pellets or pistol runners

[verbal cradle]

bought the 140 dollar edition of the game and logging in went for a scav run its pitch black im walking around and dying pls help

[smoky wing]

Cuz even the most basic PS round for sks goes thru

[limber notch]

Interchange or reserve for cash?

[hard breach]

@verbal cradle :) have fun

[smoky wing]

@limber notch depends. Do you have keys?

[limber notch]

No

[smoky wing]

And map knowledge of both?

[hard breach]

reserve is infinitely better for cash

[limber notch]

Have not done any reserve at all

[smoky wing]

If no. Go interchange

@hard breach arguable

[hard breach]

interchange is garbage unless you hit the high value stores

[limber notch]

I think its a big handicap not knowing reserve for me

[smoky wing]

And.. that is what you do?

Lol

[hard breach]

also the extracts on interchange are unbelievably fucky

yes but the whole of interchange is the fuckiest map for surviving

everyone just camps the stores and the extracts

[smoky wing]

Its like saying Reserve is garbage unless you hit the high value buildings

[hard breach]

eu servers atleast

[prime brook]

interchange probably has the worst extracts in the game

[hard breach]

thing is you dont need good keys to get good loot on reserve

[smoky wing]

I can get around 1-2mln per interchange run

With nothing but an sks

[limber notch]

How?

[hard breach]

^

[frail stone]

I have 3 full aalvx sks mags of BP loaded.

[verbal cradle]

why is the ping 150 do they have chicago servers

[limber notch]

Thats like 2 graphics cards and more

[smoky wing]

How? Simple.
Game starts i go to tech stores as fast as i can

Usually there is at least 1 gpu or 1 tetriz there

[rose ingot]

i got an rsass and verctor with 4 big sticks from a pistol run on customs

[smoky wing]

That is around 800k

Then i go ultra medical room

[hard breach]

so depends on where u spawn and how fast the other rats are to the spot

[rose ingot]

enough morale boost to last me 18 raids

[smoky wing]

For ledx spawn

[hard breach]

how much is ultra medical key?

[smoky wing]

13 mln

[hard breach]

that

[smoky wing]

Then i go Kiba

And if i have time, emercom med

And extract

[hard breach]

no need to flex ur chadcock

[hard breach]

isnt this meant to be beginners chat?

[limber notch]

Whats kiba again?

[smoky wing]

This is a eun

Run without a single key

[hard breach]

how many runs would that take to get though?

[keen ledge]

gun store in middle of interchange

[limber notch]

Oh, I have never gone there then

[smoky wing]

@hard breach 7 out of 10 or so? Depends on how fast are you

[hard breach]

ive done hundereds of interchange runs without seeing a single gpu

[frail stone]

gun store in interchange is so good

[hard breach]

rats running like the flash to techlight and all that

[red flame]

Just hit tech

[smoky wing]

Well unless i get a rly shitty spawn

[prime brook]

depends on spawn too sometimes

[limber notch]

I hit either idea pc office, 5 caches or rasmusen and tech light.

[smoky wing]

There have been not a single interchange where i didnt see a gpu

3 tech stores almost next to each other

[frail stone]

i mean you gotta hit up techlight

[hard breach]

you hatchet run each time or with gear?

[frail stone]

then computers, then gunstore

[smoky wing]

Usually a pistol or SKS

[frail stone]

i always go full gear to interchange

[limber notch]

I need to learn the inside better for sure. Also at the back, on shelves decent loot can spawn right?

[smoky wing]

Last time i went with sks i got this back

[frail stone]

if i see someone in interchange its open season

i want that gpu

[smoky wing]

So i dont recommend hatchet runs

[frail stone]

nice helmet

[limber notch]

Last interchange raid I killed a 2 stack then ran into another on the way to railway

[smoky wing]

Cuz with sks or a pistol. U can sometimes kill a guy like this

[red flame]

You camped so hard

For that little loot haha

[smoky wing]

I didnt

[hard breach]

lmao

dude

whoever was askin on how to make money fast

[smoky wing]

I was going to texho from techlight

[frail stone]

thats not camp loot

[limber notch]

I got an m4 from factory running glock

[hard breach]

fucking bushcamp

[frail stone]

thats getting a bad techland spawn

[smoky wing]

And the guy just started shooting

[hard breach]

i got done by a 3man after a resort run by tunnel

[smoky wing]

And i popped him in the head by a lucky shot

[frail stone]

and killing a dude

[hard breach]

gls are 300k rn

extract camping is ridiculous

[red flame]

Who only goes to interchange to loot a couple buildings

[smoky wing]

Thay is why his helmet is damaged

[red flame]

Any map you shouldn't go for just a couple slots. Fill your shit

[limber notch]

Well you cant rly loot the whole map can you

[red flame]

Min max and flex on the raid

You can if you nut the fuck up

[smoky wing]

Usually those 4 spots are enough to fill entire tri zip tho

Kiba has tons of guns

And mods

Ultra has tons of med spawns and ledx

[limber notch]

So hatchet run to kiba, grab gun and rush tech?

[smoky wing]

Nah, kiba requires power

And 2 keys

[limber notch]

Oh

[smoky wing]

To open it up

Also when u open kiba, loud alarm goes off

So people in close proximity know that u are entering kiba

[hard breach]

@limber notch orb 1 and 2 keys on reserve all you need

hit them and roof of white pawn and you should be able to fill up a backpack

head rock passage if u got the rr

[smoky wing]

Lol

[limber notch]

How much are they?

[verbal cradle]

just brok my legs and bled out lol

[hard breach]

about 400k for the two of them

[verbal cradle]

i guess you can take falling damage kek

[limber notch]

Should get them soon. Ill look into reserve for sure.

[hard breach]

if not that belt rig and manhole extract

[limber notch]

It seems like a good map

[smoky wing]

Ye

I hated reserve till I got Rr

[hard breach]

survival rate will be way higher than interchange

[limber notch]

Whats rr?

[hard breach]

red rebel

[smoky wing]

Red rebel ice pick

[hard breach]

icepick thing

[smoky wing]

Unlocks a special rly fast extract

[limber notch]

Ah, you need para no for extract?

[smoky wing]

That makes all the difference

[hard breach]

its going pretty cheap rn if you can buy the trade items

[smoky wing]

I doubt he has jaeger level 3

[limber notch]

^

[hard breach]

quests

[smoky wing]

Also red rebel is not cheap

[hard breach]

eh

on the scale of things it is very cheap

[verbal cradle]

how do i get a flashlight for my gun

[limber notch]

Should i go geared if I do reserve?

[hard breach]

honestly na

unless you want to take on raiders

[smoky wing]

U can also do scav run

And kill raiders that way

[limber notch]

Nah, idk much about them yet. Rather research first

[smoky wing]

Nice cash

[limber notch]

My dumb ass took sv98 scav to reserve

[hard breach]

id take you on a loot run if you wanted?

[eager pulsar]

just mind scav running reserve takes forever to queue into

[smoky wing]

True

[hard breach]

cba losing any more fancy kit today so just gonna be ratting

[smoky wing]

When i started this wipe

I was running the RB AK room with pistol

[limber notch]

Nah, im just trying to learn as much as I can for tmr. Not playing rn

[smoky wing]

To get starting mkney

Usually i was able to extract with 500k

[limber notch]

Im gonna try get the scav box if I can

[smoky wing]

Scav box costs like 4 mln to build tho

If not more

[hard breach]

just buy it from flea

[limber notch]

1.7m from flea

[smoky wing]

Ohh

He means lucky scav junkbox

[limber notch]

Ye

[smoky wing]

I thought u meant the hideout thingy

[limber notch]

Is there another box?

Oh yeah

[smoky wing]

Ye in hideout

[limber notch]

Nah not that one

[smoky wing]

You can pay scavs to bring you loot

[hard breach]

it aint worth it until later honestly

[smoky wing]

Yeah

[hard breach]

just abuse the fuck outta bitcoins while the prices are cranked up

[smoky wing]

Always rush bitcoin farm first

Its free money

[hard breach]

530k bitcoins were 👌

[limber notch]

No idea what that is but ill check it out

[smoky wing]

With 10 gpus, i get around 800k per 48h

No wait. 1.2 mln*

For just having fuel

And u can also run other tasks that require fuel

[limber notch]

Fuel spawns on woods right?

[smoky wing]

I have more luck on OLI

In interchange

But tbh i just buy it

Not worth to go hatchet run for fuel

When i can earn 1mln in the same time

[limber notch]

Idk any spawns on any maps other than the containers in customs and tech stores at interchange

[smoky wing]

And just buy the fuel

[limber notch]

I just look around for most others. I do know some caches though

[smoky wing]

Well loot spawn is something that u need to learn

[limber notch]

Yup ik

And player spawns too i only know some factory ones

Im too scared to use my m4a1 or vector solo

So ill take a pp19 or pistol

And if i duo ill kit out an mdr

Is it worth using 7n's (ammo) as a new player?

[raven prawn]

Just downloaded the game, would anyone be interested on taking me on my first raid and helping me understand the game better?

Or would I have to find a sherpa on the website for that?

[limber notch]

Some people might help from here too. I would try show you what I know but im not playing currently

[drifting jolt]

@frozen sundial

[stray tulip]

Yes, but not on customs, its the home to the lowest lvl people. Best ammo is a huge game changer

[chilly plume]

for the gas analyzer quest if you find one in raid but die with it in your container is it still good

[minor coyote]

pog like 2 mil right?

[fresh trench]

Nope, gotta extract out and not get a run-through.

[chilly plume]

god damnit

[minor coyote]

if you need help, try to get a 5 man squad in #pvp-lfg

[barren trellis]

Why is customs the lowest level area?

[hollow lava]

Because all the starter quests are there

[drifting jolt]

1.5, but still

[frozen sundial]

best i got is a magz case

[barren trellis]

Ah okay.

What I’ve noticed so far is. Factory is where people bring t6 armor and a 50rd vector.
Reserve is where the sweaty groups of 5 level 50 nerds are.
Customs I never seen anybody.
Labs is where the esp rmt sellers are.
Woods and shoreline is where the snipers are.

[daring cloud]

i see people on customs alot of all levels and group sizes other than that from the few levels ive played you are spot on

[dapper cave]

does sans west wing 222 lead to good spawns like ledx

i lost my thing that tells me which keys are good

[hard arch]

for customs

how does the dorms v-ex exit work?

[bold kernel]

gotta pay

[dapper cave]

need roubles idk how much

[daring cloud]

7k

[bold kernel]

7k i think

[hard arch]

ay thanks

[soft burrow]

hey anyone wanna play im new only lvl 7

[drifting jolt]

can also try #pvp-lfg

[bold kernel]

wait dafuq i died without hearing shots

Quick question for yas, besides a map, what do yous usually use your 2nd monitor for?

[somber barn]

is the vpo-125 worth keeping or just sell it and if i need one at one point get on flee?

[strong jolt]

damn this reshala bitch is hard to find

[frozen sundial]

tarkov server shitting itself today?

i died to desync twicen ow

[wise whale]

why are there no b&t mp9 suppressor adaptors on flea market

[strong barn]

because its needed for the quest your doing; everyone else needs them too.

[wise whale]

oh what quest is that im kinda behind quests rn

[strong barn]

the mp5 gunsmith one

i think 2 or 3

[wise whale]

k thx

[somber barn]

gunsmith 3

[simple sandal]

how do i get a sherpa to teach me to how to play

[upper iron]

Tell me where you find the 5 man level 50s at, I need some PvP action on reserve finally :(

[frozen sundial]

prolly saw a guy with t4 helmet and assume everyone is a chad

[wind panther]

I got a keycard how do I sell it

[brisk bobcat]

flea market

u r under level 10, keep it until u unlock

what sight is this

[orchid moon]

so me and my cousin been playing all day and we're out of cash and guns

what do we do?

[ember thistle]

@orchid moon naked run

[brisk bobcat]

scav run dude

[ember thistle]

[tepid iris]

[brisk bobcat]

what sights this

https://i.gyazo.com/290ab917b51e4c3321d13b3101d0d43f.png

^^

what sight

[potent stag]

my computer crashes whenever i launch tarkov now

was working fine like 6 hours ago anyone heard anything

[merry forge]

anyone wanna help me figure out this game for the 3rd time

[potent stag]

fuck i have so much money in insurance returns i need to get

and i cant cause i just crash

[drifting jolt]

weird... do you get any errors or just random crashing?

[drifting jolt]

What's been the main reason you dont think you havent been able to get into it?

[jolly shard]

aanyone have mechanic level 4?

need mp7 mags

[merry forge]

they weird gun mechanics pertaining to skills

[dire pier]

best place for flash drive spawns? is farming office window a good idea?

[drifting jolt]

there really isnt much to know... the more you shoot, the better your recoil gets over time

[merry forge]

plus i just stop playing everyonce in a while

[drifting jolt]

well you either put a lot of time into this game, or you dont get good

that's the unfortunate thing... you cant play tarkov for 10 or less hours a week and really expect to get anywhere

[potent stag]

i checked event viewer in windows and i got a really weird error

gonna try to start now

wish me luck

[drifting jolt]

fingers crossed

if all else fails, uninstall and reinstall

[strong barn]

Filing cabinets

[potent stag]

nope crashed again on loadup

[lusty glacier]

i was extracting at gate 3 on factory and some guy was chasing me

[potent stag]

my cpu/gpu fan speeds up like crazy just before i crash too

[lusty glacier]

he had a big black helmet covering his face and a headshotted him a few times to kill him

and the game extracted me and i no longer get chad loot :(

[warm tree]

I havent played tarkov in a while an am wondering if i could run with some one who can help me with what is new

[drifting jolt]

uninstall and reinstall... dont know why youre having such an issue though

[drifting jolt]

you need to give tarkov higher priority in task manager it sounds like

also, uncheck the thing that says something like 'use only physical cores' under the game' settings

@potent stag could also try this https://youtu.be/MUZ1jpnr71w

might not do much, but could help a lil

[quick roost]

Is it normal for items taken off a dead player to not count as "found in raid" ? Why do items I spawn with as a scav count as "found in raid" but items I literally take off a dead body in the raid dont count as found in raid....

[drifting jolt]

things PMCs take into raid will not be FIR

anything scavs spawn with will be

[quick roost]

doesnt really make sense but thanks for letting me know

[drifting jolt]

bc then chads would loot even less and focus solely on killing other PMCs, cause if they kill you and can sell your shit on the flea, they'll be making even more money than the way it is now

seems dumb but it's better for the low level boys in the end

[cursive orchid]

why is it everyone spawn kills me

[drifting jolt]

customs?

[cursive orchid]

yep

[drifting jolt]

look at this map... https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs

on the left hand side, click 'hide all', then click 'spawn point' to enable only the spawn poitns

then you'll see why youre getting killed at spawn

[cursive orchid]

i have a map i just cant get anywhere with questing or anything

[drifting jolt]

if you spawn anywhere near big red at start... then you need to be very careful

if you spawn near the river, instantly cross it and leave big red behind... not worth sticking around

[quick roost]

tfw ur mission is in big red

[drifting jolt]

well specifically look at the spawns on that map

[quick roost]

[drifting jolt]

can be a bit of a gamble going early for those quests

[mint vortex]

anyone wanna run woods with me?

[drifting jolt]

best when you spawn on the right side of the map, not when you spawn near big red

[robust light]

if you spawn on the smaller side of the river i would legit consider waiting at least 5-10 minutes before moving too much if you wanna avoid getting spawn killed

[drifting jolt]

if you spawn next to the river then immediately cross it

if you spawn kinda behind big red, then that's worse

[cursive orchid]

you mean in storage>

?

[drifting jolt]

^ correct, or trailer park, or crossroads

[robust light]

or that, if you spawn by the trash bridge you could immediattly run, in god forbid you have a quest in 3 story dorms youll even be the first there

[drifting jolt]

^ that's the 2nd closest spawn to dorms

[robust light]

oh yeah your right

the rock passage is closest

[drifting jolt]

^ correct, near the train tracks

[cursive orchid]

ive already rest my account

[robust light]

i dont think the rock passage people have ever beat me into dorms so far this wipe however, but yrmv

[lusty glacier]

if i hit someone in the head multiple times for ~40 damage and ~80 absorbed by armor using a grach with pst gzh bullets, what head armor dis guy have??

[modest tulip]

should i keep m80 ammo, is it better so sell it on the flea market?

[drifting jolt]

sell it

not great

[modest tulip]

thanks

whats all the hype about sugar why is it so good to grab

[silver hornet]

it sells good on the market + it's used in the hideout to craft moonshine.

[modest tulip]

but why does it sell so good thats what confuses me

[devout remnant]

maybe for crafting?

[ionic geyser]

so how would i go about finding people to play with

[devout remnant]

this chat lol

or the sherpa discord

[ionic geyser]

very well

[wet nymph]

why does he have a "!" instead of the crown or nothing at all?

[upper iron]

Isn't that because he is flagged as a cheater or something O_O

[wet nymph]

no idea

ima try posting on reddit maybe

[upper iron]

Oh it's an ingame moderator

[tropic crater]

is Living high is not a crime Mandatory for kappa?

[plush quest]

these are all quests not madatory

[wicked halo]

so this is my first wipe is the scav case upgrade in my hideout worth doing est. cost would be 3m

[empty oracle]

Do people help new players with quests in this discord? like the starting ones.

[plush quest]

goto #pvp-lfg

[proud flower]

@empty oracle ya all the time

@wicked halo personally? No. Get some storage boxes

You get a whopping 2 more rows

[wicked halo]

no like the upgrade in the hideout not the case itself

[prime brook]

its not gonna be instantly worth just to spend all ur money on buying the parts to build it but it will eventually be worth

[sour barn]

about to go into my first raod after all this time lol, do you recommend first ever go as scav or pmc?

[proud flower]

Scav

[vivid kettle]

hey guys where do you think you can find the big tashankas! ive been looking for 1 week now

[proud flower]

@vivid kettle interchange suitcases

Or woods village

[vivid kettle]

hmm ok

[proud flower]

Not the duffles. For some reason I only find em on the bus or in suitcases

[vivid kettle]

ok bet

[visual garden]

What is the best mid level class 4 armor

[proud flower]

Uhhh

Probably one of the rigs?

[visual garden]

Thanks

I just hate how little durability/repairability they have

[sour barn]

do i need these fleeces and cloths that i start with?

[minor coyote]

i imagine theres some with good repair. idk tho, speculation

[final hill]

Wait, you can't heal a bleed on a blacked out limb?

[hardy falcon]

Okay so why do i have to pay that much for this

[final hill]

Taxes

[native hinge]

Can a pmc going into a map join group with a scav player?

[hardy falcon]

Taxes? so there is a 80% tax?

[final hill]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Trading#Tax

[hardy falcon]

Sick what great fun

[slate anchor]

Are scavs friendly to players until you shoot at one?

[naive depot]

it was great

gave you way more incentive to PVP

find a great item like a ledx cool put it in your butt and go have fun with PVP no worries

[orchid stump]

wish I read that thing about sugar, I just found some and ate it straight away cuz it was food

[naive depot]

lol

[final hill]

Only if you are a scav, other ai scavs will be friendly to you, other player scavs with probably kill you on site

If you're a pmc you're considered hostile all the time

[strong jolt]

but FYI bosses and raiders will still shoot you as a player scav

[proud tide]

trying to find someone to help me with data base part 2

[naive depot]

three SSDs from one office on interchange lol

[brisk bobcat]

https://i.gyazo.com/290ab917b51e4c3321d13b3101d0d43f.png

What is this sight called

[strong jolt]

monstrum

[agile lintel]

Can anyone help me with killing scavs and/or usec? I'm not great at aiming and I'm not sure of the best places to go

[brisk bobcat]

Thanks

[drifting jolt]

I can see that, but i also like the slight restrained aggression that it causes...

this game should make you HAVE to take risks, not just run around with complete confidence shit will be FIR

[naive depot]

the pvp was better

[robust light]

i prefer the changes, it also pretty much cut hatchet running at the root barring the interchange tech stores

[meager whale]

someone join two level 3 players playing scav runs OCE

[naive depot]

what if you're hatchet running for thicc case ledx then you're fine 😂

[bold kernel]

WHAT 5.56X39 ammo should i run

igolnik or bs

[naive depot]

5.45x39?

[bold kernel]

yeah my bad

[naive depot]

bs

[robust light]

gotta gem them ledx FiR now tho

[naive depot]

oh lol

[bold kernel]

okay

what if bs is too exspensive

budget bullet???

[naive depot]

BT

[fathom onyx]

whats best bt bp or bs?

[naive depot]

bs

[fathom onyx]

ohhh ive been using bp this whole time

[naive depot]

bp is best for 7.62x39

[fathom onyx]

ok thank you

[naive depot]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

click

read everything up top THEN go down and compare the values of BT and BS

it will help you out a lot in the long run

and it'll tell you what armor your bullets are useless against

[winged cargo]

looking to do some quests/make money, wanna get to lvl 10, dm me if interested.

[novel crow]

question if i need money what map i go to?
and anyone trying to run a match or 3 with me

[somber barn]

question, i just got my second FiR roler, should i store those for later uses or sell 1 ? What uses do they have later

[prisma haven]

can any1 take me and my bud ona run to labs and show us around?

[brazen arrow]

anyone wanna group?

[modest tulip]

what should i keep

[drifting jolt]

gunpowder, bolts, BP ammo, m855a1 ammo

oh and the toolset

sell the rest

[somber barn]

keep the tape

also isnt bp rounds good?

[nocturne ice]

they didnt shoot me

[hexed raptor]

Does using something in an offline raid make it lose FIR?

[modest tulip]

no anything in an offline just didnt happen when you get out of it

[hexed raptor]

Awesome, gonna try some guns since I don't have the range unlocked yet.

[modest tulip]

knock yourself out

i do a lot of pistol practice offline on factory

[hexed raptor]

Probably a good idea, I have a feeling stirrup is gonna be annoying. Haha

[modest tulip]

stirrup?

[ocean surge]

skier task

[ripe carbon]

Pistol kills

[frail stone]

can you guys tell me if my glock is any good?

[modest tulip]

oh yeah right

[ocean surge]

Eliminate 3 PMC operators using pistols

[modest tulip]

lets see it

[ripe carbon]

It’s rly not that hard if you just run a pistol for a bit

Or you can try to bang it out quick in factory

[modest tulip]

looks great to me

[slate anchor]

Which trader has the best prices for computer parts?

[frail stone]

i cant believe it fits into the holster

save your computer parts for level 10

dont go into raids with them

[slate anchor]

So chips and dvd drives are worth waiting to sell?

[modest tulip]

sell all gun parts to mechanic then everything else to therapist and if therapist cant buy it then sell it to ragman

[ripe carbon]

Ragman Jaeger therapist mechanic highest to lowest prices idk beyond that

[modest tulip]

therapist usually has best prices for everything idk about jaeger i havent gotten him yet

[ocean surge]

what's the best map for getting loot without running into players i've been having difficulties when going into gunfights and winning them

[obsidian ridge]

what should i do with dogtags

[somber barn]

interchange stash runs

[modest tulip]

if the tag is over level 10 keep it

yeah do interchange stashes and parking garage runs, also shoreline is a good one, there are some crates and things that you can get and still stay away from all the action just get scavs

[ocean surge]

i've been just doing customs over and over again because i'm scared of the other maps tbh

it's so scary doing runs solo

[modest tulip]

what level are you

[ocean surge]

im level 12

my survival rate is 32%

[drifting jolt]

not bad if this is yoru first wipe

[ocean surge]

yea first time playing this game

saw it on my recommended on YouTube and bought it instantly

i have playing for maybe 2 weeks

[drifting jolt]

nice, that's a decent SR for a new player

[ocean surge]

sweet

i thought it was pretty bad tbh

[drifting jolt]

it's not great, but it could be a lot worse... id say youre doing like average for newer players, but there are bunch of newer players with SRs under 15-20%

[ocean surge]

i've been just trying to be super aware and not just sprint and press w towards my objectives

[maiden shore]

Lol thats me

[drifting jolt]

good idea

[ocean surge]

my friend that i play with presses w all the time and it's super annoying i've counted atleast 5 times where ik that killed us becuase ppl heard us

i've been researching ammo and stuff to use

because i've realized ammo matter more than the gun

unlike most fps's

[drifting jolt]

understatement

[ocean surge]

what's the max amount of people that can be in a squad？

[drifting jolt]

5

[ocean surge]

damn

i would not like to be a solo ran up on by 5 ppl holy shit

what level are you?

[drifting jolt]

i am 35 atm

my 2nd wipe

[ocean surge]

nice nice

[modest tulip]

How do i check my SR

[drifting jolt]

yeah not bad

[ocean surge]

what's the MIA and AWOL mean?

[modest tulip]

damn mines only 14 but ig thats what i get for doing a lot of pistol runs on factory

[trim cloud]

Anyone being a guide rn to help people

[drifting jolt]

but why!?

[modest tulip]

mia is you dont extract in the time limit

[ocean surge]

then what's AWOL?

you just disconnected?

[modest tulip]

idk

[drifting jolt]

pretty sure

if you disconnect and dont reconnect

[drifting jolt]

I can answer questions, but im done raiding for the day.. you can also try typing !sherpahub

[modest tulip]

i got a .91 kd thooo

whoop whoop

[drifting jolt]

lol

[trim cloud]

Okay I have been in the waiting for sherpa for a hour or 2 so I was just wondering

[ocean surge]

1.8k hours omg

am i reading that right

[drifting jolt]

yes lol

that's since march

so less than a year

That's total time logged in, but i dont stay logged in when im not playing

[ocean surge]

hey what's the best map for marked key

just curious

[drifting jolt]

ughh, i never really use it

shrugs

[ocean surge]

ah okay

[drifting jolt]

i rarely use any key besides the #21WS key

[ocean surge]

my friend found one and we've been using it on customs

rushing to dorms and grabbing it

[drifting jolt]

only great when you spawn near dorms, otherwise it's a risk

[slate anchor]

How do I leave a crate open after looting it?

[drifting jolt]

dont know that you can, i think it's something only other people see

why would you want to?

[modest tulip]

less noise im assuming

[somber barn]

same reason dogs piss, to mark and let others know you were there

[modest tulip]

lolo

[empty oracle]

Can someone help me get the bronze pocket watch?

[modest flint]

IS THERE A WAY I CAN EXPLORE THE MAP WITHOUT OTHER PLAYERS TRYING TO KILL ME I CAN NEVER FIND MY WAY OUT CAUSE I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE I AM

[empty oracle]

Do offline raids

@modest flint

It saves ur loot and lets u run around and learn the map

[somber barn]

also target practice, don't forget it helps you kill things

[drifting jolt]

offline raids

[drifting jolt]

you dont lose your gear or anything you take in, is what you mean

[modest flint]

IM GOOD AT KILLING NOT SO GOOD AT KNOWING WHERE I AM

[drifting jolt]

caps? and after selecting a map, then click the checkbox to enable offline raids

[slate anchor]

^

[hot tree]

@modest flint then get good at knowing where you are ez fix

[modest flint]

easier said then done when your at customs in the pitch black hard to know where u are

[drifting jolt]

dont go at night...

[modest flint]

honestly i didnt realize until i got in there

[drifting jolt]

the time selection is at the bottom of map selection screen

[slate anchor]

oh yeah died in under a minute again

speedrun god 😎

[brazen arrow]

anyone wanna group?

[modest tulip]

SR doesnt include scavs thats why mine sucks so bad

what should i keep

[slate anchor]

everything

[modest tulip]

@brazen arrow i will play more tmw but that was my last run of the night

[brazen arrow]

oki doki

[somber barn]

What do you do with GPs?

[mental dagger]

ay bois just found a RB-PS81 key and its worth 400K? why!?!!??!?!??!? what does it unlock?

[somber barn]

i think one of the bunker doors in reserve south/north(whatever direction the map should be) of K buildings

[mental dagger]

that good? never played reserve

[somber barn]

its loot, and its loot right next to an extract. so if u hit lever and get there free shit. and probly good since price on it

id keep in stash(so not to lose FiR) till on of the vets say if its worth running and learning reserve and using it. alot of em love reserve so they know more

[mental dagger]

sounds good ty

[drifting jolt]

sell to therapist

[mental dagger]

found it on a scav and was gonna drop it for morphine LOL glad i did not

[somber barn]

So what they jsut cheaper Bitcoins and always go straight to her?

[drifting jolt]

unless it's a dorms key, you should usually keep it til you figure out what it's for

[somber barn]

usually i keep all keys, and you usually try to keep morphine, i thinku need alot for quests lol

arent dorms keys worth, or just if u have space cause they are common?

[drifting jolt]

common and not for a lot of higher level quests

@somber barn morphine can be crafted in hideout and is only 9-10k

[somber barn]

oh it doesnt need to be fir?

[drifting jolt]

things you make in hideout are FIR

[honest root]

yeas

[inner timber]

what maps would you say are best for beginners?

[devout osprey]

can anyone help me to drop off the custom's documents in factory?

[gray thistle]

is there a difference between those 2 helmets? because i see they got same stats yet the flora one is a lot cheaper for some reason..

[zinc fiber]

literally it just the way it looks

[drifting jolt]

Customs

most of your beginning quests are there, so learn it first

[gray thistle]

eh so ppl just dont like how it looks lol?

oh well guess i found what to get other than the penis helmet now

[drifting jolt]

I dont know if it's any good, I dont wear helmets

[gray thistle]

why not

[drifting jolt]

unless it's super high tier, it's only going to protect you against scavs, if at all... so once you get comfortable with the game you can just not run a helmet

the penis helmet CAN ricochet rounds, but so few times that i just stopped wearing helmets last wipe

ill wear a helmet out of a raid, but not into one

plus helmets are more easily spotted in a bush

[zinc fiber]

most lvl 4 helmets are used for either the face shield or a good mount for night vision but if you want actual protection run a penis hel or high tier helmets

[drifting jolt]

i wear the green shemagh almost 100% of the time

half the time i dont wear armor in either... depending on where im going

if you kill a PMC they're gonna be wearing armor, so there ya go

But you also definitely are gamblign to a degree without armor, shotgun scavs are dangerous

i just like the risk

Frequently will go in with a pump, and shells in my pockets and a bag, then kill for armor/rig/bigger bag/better gun

[limber notch]

Why is my sprint bar only letting me move at 33%?

[drifting jolt]

scroll up

[limber notch]

Only the first 6 lines are white

Doesnt let me go faster

[drifting jolt]

oh you're overweight? or your leg is broken

[limber notch]

None of those

24.4/75 and max hp

[zinc fiber]

weight, debuffs, stance, and sometimes where you walking can affect walking speed

[drifting jolt]

double check... bc otherwise i dont know

[limber notch]

Oh maybe thats it

Im in a bush

[drifting jolt]

@limber notch reserve have bushes that reduce your walk speed

the like chest high hedgerows

[limber notch]

Yup

[drifting jolt]

yeah that threw me for a loop for a while

[limber notch]

Thats so weird

[drifting jolt]

only bushes on that map do that from what i know

[zinc fiber]

i know takes a min to get used

[drifting jolt]

can move while prone in them either

[zinc fiber]

barbed wire, marshes, swamps, bushes can reduce your walking speed

[limber notch]

Tnx for your help guys

[zinc fiber]

youre wqelcome

[mild abyss]

jus inlocked flea market what do i sell for money im broke

[inland marlin]

stuff u loot

[drifting jolt]

if you screenshots we can tell you

[ancient falcon]

Bro sanitar guards just 1 tapping you is fucking op

first shot... while moving

50 m away

[drifting jolt]

that's raiders for ya

Also, AI aims at the first part of your body they see

so if it's your head, that's all they aim for

[meager whale]

looking for a third come join me and abnother both level 4 OCE

[modest pagoda]

buying twitch armband

[hasty stone]

so can somebody explain me gun stats? like the recoil... what do i look for to decrease recoil? does the number need to go down to be better or up? and also when looking up on attachment what does that mean? like -11% recoil sometimes marked on red and sometimes on blue?

you know what i'm trying to say ye?

[limber notch]

Anyone wanna a couple runs together to get money and do tasks?

[barren sapphire]

what should I do if I found ingame maps of certain areas?

found an interchange map

[tired crane]

Throw it in the traaaaash

[drifting jolt]

in game maps are hot garbage unfortunately

@barren sapphire https://mapgenie.io/tarkov <--- all maps but reserve and updated woods... https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/kp491k/expanded_woods_map_v5_entirely_remade_to_match/ <--- updated woods... and just google a reserve map there's a ton

[eager pulsar]

easiest way to do the grenadier quest?

i'm not on it yet, but preparing for the hell that it's gonna be

[tired crane]

tbh, i wouldnt even go out of my way to "farm it". if you must, just go to factory with a bunch of grenades and spam, otherwise just let it come naturally with your normal gameplay and goals

[ancient falcon]

How was someone auto firing with an snb?

what gun auto fires an snb round?

[pure talon]

rapid fire or auto?

svd can be very rapid if someone has trained her fingers, wink wink

also if youre curious about something, you can right click on the item and select "linked search", in this case go to weapons and it will show you all weapons using this particular ammo

[ancient falcon]

it was like a burst fire

way too quick for tapping

I was in the cottage house and sanitar was shooting at the wall towards me and inside it looked someone was flashing their lights

[pure talon]

probably svd

[drifting jolt]

several guns fire SNB auto

probably sanitar's guards

[hard arch]

if i have a mission to kill scavs in customs, do kills only count on my pmc?

[cloud river]

Yes

[chrome pecan]

yes

[pure talon]

namely mosin, sv-98 and svd, of which two are bolt action, and neither spawns on sanitar or his minions, thanks for bringing value to the tarkov community

[manic horizon]

i just ran KIBA with nothing but a glock and got the REAP-IR AK, and the Bravo MPX

[pure talon]

source:
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Sanitar
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/7.62x54mmR

[pure talon]

nice, you just made 600k, tarkov community is proud of your effort!

[upper iron]

Pistol runnig

Meet so many level 30+ hatchet and pistol runners lol

[manic horizon]

haha i actually couldnt believe it, shame i didnt have a big bag, there were like 4 of the salvo supressors and i took the backpack extract

[manic horizon]

when you have 12k roubles you gotta do what you gotta do

[pure talon]

meanwhile, people doing boring scav runs on customs, yuck!

[upper iron]

[manic horizon]

tetriz and intel, not bad aaaat all

[drifting jolt]

Thanks for your blatant and unnecessary sarcasm, considering I answered the exact question he asked, except without specifics

[upper iron]

Tetriz on customs has to be a lucky spawn though right? Or is there a specific spawn for it

[drifting jolt]

I dont know that ive ever actually found one on customs

[pure talon]

stashes

[cloud river]

Probably a lucky spawn

Ah

[upper iron]

AHH ok makes sense with Stashes, only solid Tetriz spawn on a map I know is reserve

[manic horizon]

and interchange

[upper iron]

^ ye

[pure talon]

@drifting jolt you've mentioned "several guns" out of which none is auto and none spawns on sanitar's guards, but yeah, let's agree that your answer was informative and mine was sarcastic

[upper iron]

But wait... there's more

wait

Funnily enough all my AESA are found at the end of raids

[pure talon]

lol, ks on reserve...

[upper iron]

What's wrong with it

[pure talon]

nothing, i just find it funny

[upper iron]

Ever baited shitters underground with "Door. Open it" and then clapped them?

[drifting jolt]

I may not have fully answered his question, but that didnt require you to become an obvious douche at my answer... sorry i dont know what every guard can spawn with bro

[upper iron]

Ks on reserve is some fat penis gaming imo

[pure talon]

@drifting jolt we appreciate your effort, just don't pretend you know things you don' t, because it harms the purpose of this channel and hinders progress of new players

[drifting jolt]

bro... i quoted his exact question, and answered it

@pure talon Youre just gatekeeping, but that's cool too

[pure talon]

you did, you answer was incorrect, i stepped in and saved the day, just get over it ffs

[drifting jolt]

it was not

learn how to read bud

based on the question i quoted, my answer was not complete, but was correct

@pure talon Youre just guarding over people like you have some sort of power, when most of us are just trying offer the knowledge WE DO have

Sorry i couldnt give him the 110% correct answer with extra details bro

calm your tits

[pure talon]

yes, definitely it was, 7.62x54 weapons spawns on sanitar's minions, and they can shoot fully automatic. thanks to you i feel enlighted.

[limber notch]

Bruh how can you survive like 10 shots of m995 with tier 4 armour?

[drifting jolt]

I can barely see you atop that high horse you ride

[pure talon]

m995 does 40 flesh damage, pmc has 440

[limber notch]

Unless the guy had terrible aim, But he shredded my whole body

[drifting jolt]

I will no longer answer your questions... @pure talon (Spock's got it from here)

[pure talon]

@night needle i wasn't asking any questions mate, get some sleep or sober up

[night needle]

wrong mote

[limber notch]

the m4 he had was decked tf out too

[tired crane]

get fukt

[pure talon]

@limber notch that's what people refer to as "over pen", high pen ammo sacrifices flesh dmg for penetration, with, quote on quote, worse ammo, you would kill the enemy with tier 4 armor with less shots

[drifting jolt]

I was talking to everyone else but you, and you didnt even tag me right

[barren sapphire]

weird question: can you do pmc kill quests by going into the raid with a friend, and then killing him ?

[pure talon]

no

[barren sapphire]

for example the "get a headshot while your arm is broke" quest

[manic horizon]

no you cant

[barren sapphire]

damn

[pure talon]

teammates does not count towards tasks, but you can cheese quests by queuing separately on the same server

but that's as far from recommended way of completing tasks as you can get and people may frown upon you when you ask them to corroborate

@barren sapphire that tasks does not require you have a broken limb, tremor will suffice; i've done mine with tremor induced by dehydration, which, with recent changes to nutrition system, occurs pretty often during raids; just switch to smgs and it will happen sooner than you may think

[pure talon]

missed that one, tetrises also often spawns on interchange in tech stores (texo, techlight, rass) and can be seen on other maps as well: https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Tetriz_portable_game

[upper iron]

I know they spawn on interchange and reserve, never seen one as open loot on Customs

[pure talon]

if you scav on interchange it's always recommended to double check tech stores since these are small and flat and easy to miss

[upper iron]

Also spawns in the store opposite mantis =]

[visual storm]

I'm new to both this discord and this game, I've done enough quests to hit 30 so I've got the controls down and know a few maps reasonably well. What now?

[pure talon]

i found few in green screen under the desk, dunno about spawn rates tho, that was when gpus were spawning much more often

[eternal heath]

Can someone tell me what exactly happens when a wipe happens?

[cloud river]

You lose everything and start over

[barren sapphire]

everyone loses all progress and starts at 0

[eternal heath]

like everything as in levels trader levels and stuff?

[barren sapphire]

yeah

[cloud river]

Yes

[barren sapphire]

lose all your stuff aswell

[eternal heath]

aight thanks

[pure talon]

everyone starts from zero

[eternal heath]

pretty much like a hard reset

or a new account

[barren sapphire]

exactly

[pure talon]

inventory, level progression, traders, hideout, everything is gone

[eternal heath]

so u get to choose a faction as well?

[pure talon]

yes

[barren sapphire]

they do this when they have major patches that change the general progress in the game

to check how it feels when players play through it

[pure talon]

don't expect next wipe to come sooner than six months from now tho

[barren sapphire]

yeah its like twice a year id any

if any*

[pure talon]

you have plenty of time to experience the game at it's fullest

if you just started and want to change your allegiance you can reset your account

it will wipe your progress but you'll be able to change your faction

you can change your name every two days if you wish

[eternal heath]

oh and one more thing, where is a good spot to find bolts and nuts?

[cloud river]

Interchange oli store

[pure talon]

yes, gimme a sec

[eternal heath]

what direction is it?

like north west etc

[pure talon]

@eternal heath look for these: https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Toolbox

[eternal heath]

i think ive seen those before

[pure talon]

you can find them on any map, there are plenty on customs

[eternal heath]

didnt get what i wanted though

[pure talon]

it's random

but out of all available containers these are your best bet

[eternal heath]

got it

thanks for the help

[pure talon]

since it's random you can get your parts from jackets and other containers as well

but these has the highest chance as these are dedicated to "mechanical parts"

[pure talon]

do you have eod account?

[visual storm]

Yeah, I got it during the sale and have been playing a fairbit since

[pure talon]

then you don't need* prapors quests as much as standard accounts (* prapor will eventually give you a 4x2 safe container)

[visual storm]

Im kinda stuck on delivery from the past anyway

Having bad luck alone

[pure talon]

if you just started and you're already lvl 30 then bravo, chapeau bas, you're doing extremely well so far

certain tasks are better to be done with a group

[visual storm]

Yeah Ive kinda done all the ones I could without a group at this point

[pure talon]

picking up the item is easy, delivering is the hard part, but! factory has a hard limit on players count during the day to 5, so just group up with people, you can use this discord to join random 5 man factory and get over it within 2 minutes

[visual storm]

Should I start in the beginner assistance channels/sherpa discord or would someone like me be fine to just hop right into a LFG?

Not sure how this place works

[pure talon]

since it's a hit and run and won't take more than 5 minutes in total, including queuing up, even you're playing lfg customs people should be willing to help you with that quest as an intermission between your raids

[visual storm]

Thanks

[pure talon]

just join random 5 man on your preferred map and be honest about your experience

everyone has been in your shoes at some point in time and most people will be more than happy to help if you'll be humble to ask for help

[visual storm]

Appreciate it!

[pure talon]

tarkov has absurdly bad game design when it comes to introducing new players to the game, and for most it was very traumatizing experience, hence people who already "mastered" the game are very willing to help new players

it could be just me but it's very unique experience compared to other online games

[visual storm]

Yeah, I can definitely say its been unique

[pure talon]

you will come across people who will just tell you to "get good", but most people on this discord are very understanding and willing to help
