[pure talon]

and for the short term goals - just try to figure out what you can do within a day or week and try to achieve that

but if you just started i would focus on tasks until level 40 and upgrading your hideout

[visual storm]

Yeah, level 40 was the next goal. Just gotta look for a group at this point I guess

[pulsar lion]

whats the best map to get spark plugs?

[visual storm]

Thanks again

[pure talon]

you are already almost there, but just to put it into perspective - last wipe i was mainly using mp7... 40 rounder on flea was going for ~120-140k, a single bullet was 2k, so a single magazine would cost you 200k from flea... but if you had vendors unlocked you could buy it for less than third

855a1 currently goes on flea for 1500 rubbles while i'm buying it from vendor for ~350

that's vendors.. hideout on the other hand will allow you to get sustainable source of passive income

[visual storm]

Yeah, Im eyeing that SI advanced receiver extension buffer tube

80k on flea, 10k from mechanic 4

[pure talon]

with bitcoin farm and crafts you should be getting something between 1 and 3 mil every day

exactly

thats your "short term" goal

once you get there you can stop worrying about gear and start enjoying the game

[coarse lily]

I got Tarkov a while ago but my cpu was too crap to handle the loading times etc. I upgraded and plan on giving the game another go but have a few questions. 1 - is higher ergonomics bad or good. 2 - how fundamental is the hideout and how much time should be put into upgrading it early game

[barren sapphire]

is there no "easy" way for me to get jaeger to lvl 2 ? I can do the flash drive quest, but then ill still need 0.4 rep and that seems super hard to do with these quests

at least for a beginner

[pure talon]

welcome to tarkov 😦

[tired crane]

thats kind of the nature of jaeger. his quests are all considerably unfriendly to beginners and dont really give alot of rep.

[pure talon]

it's a tarkov meme, all of jeager quests are like "kill 3 pmcs without using your mouse while looking away from your monitor"

[barren sapphire]

man thats just dumb...might aswell do the peacekeeper quests that make me lose jaeger rep

since ill never get jaeger2 anyways

[pure talon]

you'll get there eventually

[midnight pawn]

man i cant even do the fist quest to get shotguns in customs

[pure talon]

do you have eod?

[midnight pawn]

first*

[barren sapphire]

no

[pure talon]

then you should prioritize prapors quests at all costs

prapor will eventually give you 4x2 safe container

[barren sapphire]

so the punisher questline, right?

[eager pulsar]

yeah

[pure talon]

i can't stress it enough, but it's a night and day difference

[barren sapphire]

yeah currently on punisher 2. I can spend a thousand hours on shoreline with no issue, but THE SECOND i bring a silencer into shorelines to get those silenced kills I get killed all the time

[eager pulsar]

I just wish punisher wasn't so shoreline focused tbh

[barren sapphire]

@midnight pawn grind to level 5 to unlock jaeger, then just buy the shotguns from him

[pure talon]

with alpha container it's like every time you go to toilet you have to make a conscious decision either you wipe your ass or wash your hands

[eager pulsar]

yeah can't carry shit on me lmao

[pure talon]

its not shoreline focused at all, but like with all scav kills related quests there is a loophole

since scavs spawns in waves on maps

[twilit moth]

how do i know where to escape?

[eager pulsar]

isn't it shoreline focused tho?

[barren sapphire]

what kinda loophole?

[eager pulsar]

at least like 3-4 quests are

[pure talon]

that one task is, but punisher quest line is not

[twilit moth]

where can i escape

[eager pulsar]

oh shit I didn't realize pt 3 was customs

[coarse lily]

high erg = good?

[eager pulsar]

yea

[coarse lily]

ok ty

[pure talon]

so when you're facing "killing scavs" you can either just play the map and expect that at one point you will meet the quota or, if you want to rush it, you have to keep in mind that scav are spawning in waves - when you spawn on a map as a pmc only a handful of scavs will be present, next wave will appear after ~20 minutes, and so on

[coarse lily]

should hideout upgrades be a priority early on?

[cloud river]

Yes

[pure talon]

also, on shoreline you have a few hotspots and few places with large number of scavs

[coarse lily]

any ones in particular?

[barren sapphire]

probably gas station, power station, scav island

[pure talon]

try to avoid hotspots and do a quick runs to (a) scav island, (b) power station; (c) bus depo

each will should give you ~3 scav kills per run

if your goal is just to kill scavs i recommend chilling on the spawn for few minutes and let other players rush to their objectives

after the game begins find a nearby bush, lay down, alt-tab and watch youtube or get a tea

after few minutes get back to the game, kill few scavs and proceed to extract

same applies to all "kill x scavs" tasks

[pure talon]

hideout upgrades and missions should be considered an investment into your future tarkov games

you'll be spending money on hideout upgrades and grinding out missions, but you will get that money many times over once you finish your quest, not only as rewards, but mainly through passive income and access to cheap trades with high level traders

[coarse lily]

Om

Okay ty

which hideout upgrades should be priority?

[pure talon]

basically all of them, the end goal is bitcoin farm which basically requires you to have everything maxed out

like i said earlier, with max hideout producing bitcoins and having access to crafts youre looking at something between 1 and 3 mil of passive income every day

additional benefit is that you'd able to craft quest items in your hideout

or getting them from scav box

[tawny vector]

what crafts should you always be running for profit?

[tired crane]

@tawny vector the fleamarket is ever changing in prices for both crafting materials and the profits to be had. i would suggest just doing a little research in it. not to mention there are a handful of quests that should be focused to unlock certain trader buys that will yield more material profit. like Peacekeeper for example. if you finish Spa Tour Part 2. you can buy m67 grenades for cheap, which can be easily broken down into green gunpowder (just a small example.

[candid verge]

Thx, z33d, nice info

[tawny vector]

hmm okay, ive been playing a while but never focused on how i could make money with crafts. still dont really get it but thnx :) have a nice day @tired crane

(check the excel file provided in the description of the 2nd video)

[tawny vector]

sweet bro thanks

[pure talon]

also barter trades... quick trivia - how much altyn and cms cost?

[tawny vector]

altyns like 140k?

cms idk, my guess 24k

[bold kernel]

im a fucking newb

[cloud sky]

would this be the right place to ask for help with jaegers note on woods? i need help extracting since i don't know the map well.. or how to find the camp very well.

[tawny vector]

I think you should try the #pvp-lfg chat

[pure talon]

@tawny vector correct but altyn at barter will cost you ~50k and faceshield is 24k, while cms is 9k x)

[cloud sky]

ok thanks, i did but to no avail! doesn't seem like many want to get involved with that one lol

[tawny vector]

damn whos got the altyn barter? my traders arent maxed yet this wipe

[pure talon]

ragman ofc 🙂

[bold kernel]

i need to find prapors pocket watch

[tawny vector]

@cloud sky that sucks man, I need to kill some scavs on woods without armor. are you EU?

[pure talon]

LL4 unfortunately, but CMS for 9k is jaeger LL1

[bold kernel]

i only got 2 traders on LL2

[pure talon]

@tawny vector what if i tell you that you can get one of the best tier 4 armored rig in game basically for free through barter?

[tawny vector]

i would say youre probably right im just unaware of it

[pure talon]

LL3 ragman sells m1 rig for 4 aquamaris - like with any other trade or craft the item does not have to be full, so you can use aquamaris as your source of hydration and trade leftovers for rig

[tawny vector]

stonks

[pure talon]

same concept with golden star, best pk in game

golden star costs 100k, but you can put in in rotation with ibuprofin and use left overs to craft propital which will basically allow you to use pk for free

thicc item case costs 15m on flea but therapist LL4 offers you a barter for vodkas which translates to ~10m

and so on

always be on a lookout for profitable barter

[tawny vector]

yeah im close to leveling all my traders to max I just need to lvl my pmc up

im 25 but need 32 for rapist 4

[pure talon]

btw leveling peacekeeper... he's the easiest one to level up since he has very low level requirements and only require trade volume

most people struggle with him since early on there are no valuable trades and it's hard to pump up that trade volume

but you can just straight out buy dollars from him, which contributes to the trade volume

and dollars are extremely valuable currency "late" game, as most high tier ammo is traded for dollars

[tawny vector]

i already have him lvl 3

just bought and sold around 50 berettas from the dude

[steady coral]

Anyone else wish they could name back packs and tactical rigs in there inventory

[eager pulsar]

I can't get him lvl 3 because I haven't started his quests quite yet

still need to finish friend from the west

[pure talon]

also trade volume with jaeger is simple as you can just buy basic stims of flea and sell it back to him at the same price

i.e. morphine and zagustin

(same with therapist but i never met anyone having issues with trade volume with her or mechanic)

[bold kernel]

guys help why cant i put a B-11 on the aks-74u

[pure talon]

try to lube it

[bold kernel]

no like legit i phisically cannot put a B-11 handguard on the aks-74u

[cunning pilot]

Can someone tell me where I am on the map? xD

[pure talon]

i know, it's probably too big

in the woods my mate

[cunning pilot]

oh really thanks

i thought i was in labs

[pure talon]

the only two real callouts you need to learn for woods is "over here" and "over there"

[tawny vector]

I think youre on the northern end Wakadelic

north west if im not mistaken

you have a map on your phone or maybe second monitor?

[bold kernel]

why does it feel like im getting better loot out of crates and stashes when having good gear on me

no ok this game is shite i literally had to put the grip on the B-11 before i could put it on the aks-74u

[tawny vector]

sounds like youre finally getting to grips with the weapon modding

ill see myself out

[bold kernel]

hey can some1 tell me how to serch anyone?

[pure talon]

welcome to tarkov, btw five years in making it's still beta and they don't accept refunds, hope you like it\

[pure talon]

you have to ask for consent, otherwise it's statutory rape

[bold kernel]

?

[queen steeple]

Guys HOW tf do you counter leg meta? I went in full lvl 4 armor and got shot by a single bullet in the leg from a player. I was less than 2 meters away from cover but I just couldnt limp there in time and I died because I was pretty much staying still, ready to take it up my ass from him

[bold kernel]

go up to a body, press f on them

tn

[pure talon]

shot them first

[queen steeple]

😦

guess I should learn to bend over better. maybe take some vaseline in my prison pocket too

god, I didnt even have time to pop a painkiller, and I was so sooo close to cover too

[pure talon]

leg meta is not that easy as it may sound, it requires enemy to actually aim for legs, if someones using RIP or quakemaker every round that hits your armor basically bounces off

[queen steeple]

just instantly black out a leg and I cant do anything about it

[queen steeple]

they just spray at the toes, its still a bigger target than the head

[upper iron]

Use painkillers more often

[queen steeple]

I didnt even have time to finish the animation

[pure talon]

if you can land every shot on someones legs you can as well start aiming for head

you digest PK before going into a fight, not after

[upper iron]

You should pre-pop

[queen steeple]

hmm

[upper iron]

If you run into an open space, pre-pop

[pure talon]

my pmc is always on PK

[queen steeple]

That's actually viable, thank you

[upper iron]

So if you get hit or blacked out you can still move

[pure talon]

the moment i spawn i hit morphine and then continue to take pks on the go till i extract

[queen steeple]

although I will end up buying a lot more

[upper iron]

Buy an ibuprofen for 30k with 15 charges

[queen steeple]

morphine is 5 min, and a PK is 1 right?

[pure talon]

pk as in painkiller, not specifically analgin

[queen slate]

is prapor lvl 2 bs gs ammo pack barter for 2 hot rods worth it?

[upper iron]

It's 280 seconds for an Ibuprofen, you just need water :D

[pure talon]

i'm using mophine, golden star and ibuprofin

[queen steeple]

hmm

[upper iron]

It is now since prices on hotrods dropped. If it's BS 5.45 yes it's worth it

[valid junco]

@queen slate just run bt rounds honestly will do the trick at half the cost bs is only good for high tier ppl

[queen slate]

well BS pen is significantly better

[pure talon]

customs needs more people like you x)

[upper iron]

I was using golden star but it's 100k for 10 charges, also costs 15 energy to use now which is nope xd Vaseline is 6 charges for 34k and ibuprofen is 15 for same price, is a no brainer

[pure talon]

just use leftovers for propital craft and it's free

[valid junco]

@pure talon they dont im the kind of guy with 30mill atm ill stay on labs LUL

[upper iron]

Ammo can overpen and not do as much damage. Its a good barter. But you don't really need BS ATM. If you wanna run it, make sure you top load 15 bs over 2 mags so you don't lose a whole mag :D

[valid junco]

goldenstar is like a 10k per painkiller ngl is worth it as theres many black boxes which always have a lunchbox in

[queen slate]

hm okay

[upper iron]

Man imagine you have to constantly search for fucking food in a raid because you used a painkiller

You can die from 0 energy faster than hydration

[agile raft]

or you bring a lunchbox with you cause it's not that expensive

or a can of peas

[queen slate]

hmm BS trade seems to be gone anyways

[valid junco]

@queen slate bs is better yes for pen but its designed for high tier armours as its damage comes from fragment chance and so if they have lower armour which is common on maps to have t4 and below it will be a waste... BT will 1tap visors and most helms and do enough armour dmg to kill in 5-6 shots consistent

[upper iron]

Anyway, people prefer how they want. I do like the propital trade off, but that energy shit is annoying

[upper iron]

Yeah, or a bottle of water since it's not expensive either, either way 🤷

[valid junco]

normally its worth doing the propital trade after 1 use on golden then sell it off for 15k each u get back more money for another goldenstar

[queen steeple]

So, analgin is a bad thing to use as a PK. Invest in ibuprofin, and careful of my water lvls cuz they drop hard. Vaseline and golden star are good options at a higher price. Propitals are high end, having no water/energy debuffs. as I see on the wiki they can be crafted at a decent rate. Should I invest in medstation lvl 3?

[pure talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg2ng4iueFc

[upper iron]

You need a ledex which is currently 700k

[queen slate]

well idk I mainly run m855a1 anyways with an adar

[queen steeple]

I dont even have a lvl 2 yet. But yeah, a LEDX is a deal breaker for sure

[queen slate]

that's my main budget loadout

[valid junco]

@queen steeple imo newer players benefit more of a higher hideout lvl as they can use money to get access to higher lvl gear and loot so i would reccomend it

[queen steeple]

Thanks

[pure talon]

propital is regen buff, pk is a side effect, your pk stim is morphine

[valid junco]

@hot sierra np ❤️

@queen slate 55a1 is good but eventually you will notice ppl tanking it more and more when theyre juicy heashot ammo but if u hit chests it takes a while against high tier but 55a1 is good if youre accurate

[pure talon]

also when running golden star and ibu you'll use leftovers to craft propital which will yield ~100k profit, so it's not as expensive as it seems

[queen steeple]

Oh btw, do you regenerate by default in this game while in raid? or is it strictly buff related

[pure talon]

buff, propital and etg regens

by default the game tries to kill you

[queen slate]

yeah idk I don't really get into many fights at all

[queen steeple]

yeah...

[pure talon]

with scavs, environment or random bullshit like dehydration

855a1 is solid till end of the wipe

[valid junco]

@queen slate when u get better and understand the flows and start going for the fights its gonna come down to best ammo and armour dura in the end so do your research once u find ur getting outgunned alot

[pure talon]

https://tarkov-tools.com/ammo/5.56x45 mm

[valid junco]

like running a stock akm will work great even against juice bc you can get the bp 762 round which 2 shots chest at t5

the only reason you run meta is for the recoil reduction as the ammo is what does all the work

can fully mod a m4 but use m855 ammo over 55a1 u will die 90% of the time

[upper iron]

Using M4 and not HK :(

[valid junco]

i wouldnt use hk atm bc of the arm meta shit going on

too much rpm and forces arm shots

atm best guns are like mdr and 103 imo

slower rpm but both can 2-3 shot most armour with the good ammo

and 1 shot almost everyhelm

this stops the models aiming up and makes heashots more likely to occur

[eager pulsar]

how come I can't see my own tracers? I'm using m62

even at like 300m I see nothing

[upper iron]

It doesn't force arm shots if you don't aim like an ape lol

[civic rivet]

looking for someone to play with. Quests and money.

[eager pulsar]

I'm just confused as to why I'd even use tracer rounds if I can't make use of the tracer effect

[bold kernel]

idk i get

4 manned again

[valid junco]

@upper iron you havent had enough engagements close then

if u hit thorax they will look up

[queen steeple]

Anyone else have 2 frames in lobby?

tf is going on

[upper iron]

I mean I have... But I aim for the head and not the chest?

You have got to be literally mag dumping people if you're only hitting the arms

[cinder hound]

Because tracer rounds are cheaper

so dont use tracer rounds if u care about showing people where u are

[eager pulsar]

yeah but gameplay wise it's dumb I can't actually use a tracer round to see my own tracer

[golden drum]

Yo, im new to eft. what room should i join?

[cinder hound]

beginners assistance

when it opens

[golden drum]

ait thanks

[cinder hound]

and scy i dont think they care about being able to use the tracer round

I think they just want to make it realistic and show the bullets where they are going

based on the real ammunition

@golden drum u can also

try to go to looking for group\

and say u just started and need someone to show u the ropes of the game

theres alot of people willing to teach a newbie

[near shale]

anyone willing to run with a newbie and help me out a bit?

[slender furnace]

is the keytool still worth it?

[hollow lava]

I've got a problem, I had some ammo which I stacked to save space, one half was found in raid the other wasn't and now that I stacked it I can't seem to split them into the found in raid ones. Is there any way to find that out?

[carmine gust]

None of it is found in raid now

[hollow lava]

Damn, rip 90k ammo

[ancient falcon]

Why is tarkov stuttering randomly today?

Specs 3070, 3600x 16gb DDr4 3200mhz RAM at 1440p. Textures high, shadow medium, everything else lowest except AA at TAA and Post processing at low.

[valid junco]

@upper iron thats what i mean if u dont hit head but hit chest u hit arms which ttk is forever not everyone in this game goes for heads yano unless you havebeen playing a while

[fleet yacht]

@ancient falcon try cache clear and temporary files clear in the game launcher

[bold kernel]

why cant i fucking stop a reload

if i didnt even grab the mag out

[upper iron]

? Ok

[queen steeple]

Guys Im terribly lost on woods, I need urgent help to reach extract. Can anyone guide me ?

[bold kernel]

find the factory then keep walking to the right ull find a big sea at some point keep walking around it ull pass a small poi keep walking next to the sea until u see a mine field sign avoid it and ull see a car at some point

[carmine gust]

if he has outskirts

[bold kernel]

yep

gotta hope he does

[carmine gust]

if you don't have outskirts go left instead.

[solid steppe]

do items that you store in your safe container count as found in raid? assuming you extracted

[bold kernel]

no

wait yes

[pliant lotus]

if survived then yes

[bold kernel]

w/o extract no

[solid steppe]

then why the fuck mines didn't

[bold kernel]

with yes

who did u pick it up from

or where

[solid steppe]

uhhh idk

was a gas analyzer

somewhere in customs

escaped at zb11

didnt count

[bold kernel]

how much time left ?

[solid steppe]

wasnt run though

afaik

[pliant lotus]

Did u get a run through?

[solid steppe]

does that matter?

maybe it was idk

[upper iron]

Should've worked then

[pliant lotus]

yup

[bold kernel]

yeah

[upper iron]

Yes it does

Run through = not fir

[solid steppe]

and how is run trough calculated?

like a % of the timer?

[upper iron]

You need to be in for 10 mins or more

[pliant lotus]

min 10 mins

[solid steppe]

i see, thanks!

[pliant lotus]

or kill a scav

[solid steppe]

wont lose more gas analyzers or tushonkas

or will lose my mind

[keen ibex]

what happens if a thorax bled to black actually

does the next shot to the thorax, regardless of pen will instantly kill the person or what?

[spice pecan]

any spread damage you get will kill you
get shot in the leg and it spreads to chest, insta death

[keen ibex]

yeah but

if you bleed the thorax or head out

it wont instantly kill you, but will be blacked

[spice pecan]

it can kill you

[keen ibex]

so the next hit to the blacked thorax/head will insta kill?

[spice pecan]

yep

[keen ibex]

ah ok

[spice pecan]

even if you have armor, as you will take blunt damage

[upper iron]

Basically dead man walking

[nocturne ice]

How am I ever supposed to get tech on interchange or reserve when they are rushed by a 3 man squad giga chad? Like I can never get tech spawns anymore.

[spice pecan]

As a reserve main and general solo, I have written some of those locations off. Just not worth the risk

[nocturne ice]

where the f do u go on reserve for loot, RB AK was looted obviosuly, marked room in black pawn, the bunker was looted and I barely got anything from king killing a hatchling

spawned in as a pmc btw

[spice pecan]

Ratacombes, raider spawns, loose loot, connections to all the main buildings, and easy flanks.

the underground area between, the pawns, bishops, and queen

[bold kernel]

every building has loot, raiders, loose loot, dropdown, underground,marked circles

[slow sleet]

Tunnels are amazing.

[spice pecan]

I would also suggest getting the dome keys. Other than the guard station, they are rarely looted. between the first two rooms there are 4 intel spawns, a roller spawn, and mil tech spawn in RLSSA. and 5 sets of filing cabinets

[nocturne ice]

Do the rooms in the buildings ALL have loose loot?

[bold kernel]

most of them yes..

just go watch pestily's looting tutorial on reserve

[nocturne ice]

He misses a few spawns that other youtube vids covered

I believe

[scarlet bison]

will someone do a customs pmc with me iam new

[cosmic tinsel]

my buddy showed me a black box that appears to be a 100% lunchbox spawn... does anything else like that exist in the game?

[nocturne ice]

I strongly recommend at least doing a few solo so you learn some tarkov survival tips more, but thats just me

[scarlet bison]

i have

[nocturne ice]

Yeah in the back of goshan

[cosmic tinsel]

interesting

[frozen swift]

im fairly new too @scarlet bison run solo some times youll learn more but if wanna run together we can

[cosmic tinsel]

the one he showed me was also on interchange- between the billboard and power station

[scarlet bison]

okay lets do that

[bold kernel]

is anybody else having a bug where u cant extract ?

the ruaf roadblock timer on customs went to zero 3 times

but i didnt let me leave

[cunning pilot]

Will I need the plage mask for a quest or something, should I keep it?

[cosmic tinsel]

it's part of the kappa container quest

[rotund barn]

so yea keep it

[cosmic tinsel]

most of the items related to streamers are part of the kappa container quest

plague masks are worth a pile (~50k?) of money though, so definitely grab any more you find and sell em

[cunning pilot]

Ok, thank you

[rotund barn]

was the light on ruaf on?

[cunning pilot]

Do you only need to deliver items to get the kappa container?

[hollow lava]

Yes but to even get the quest you need to complete almost every quest there is so unless you really want to sweat into the wipe I'd sell the streamer items.

[cunning pilot]

Ok thank you, Ill sell it

[floral rose]

if you are overweight you can't extract from ruaf

[bold kernel]

yeah it was

i def wasnt overweight

i didnt tell me anything the timer went down but nothing happened

it*

[floral rose]

yes that because you were overweight

thats the only reason

there is no bug

[bold kernel]

i had

nothing on me

almost

[hollow lava]

It happened to me and homies couple of times aswell.

[bold kernel]

i wasnt even close to being overweight

[hollow lava]

Yeah it's a bug or something's wrong, we just went to smugglers after.

[floral rose]

ok just ignore someone with 1500 hours in game nice one dont come in the assistance if you dont want to hear the advise theres no bug its the weight system your strength lvl and just because you dont think your overweight the games system decides but yano who am i to say i dont know anything about the game ive been playing for years thats fine....

[hollow lava]

My homie has 2400+hrs we were naked with just mags in pockets and pistol in hand, just helped me kill scavs for quest we weren't overweight.

[floral rose]

https://tenor.com/view/whatever-bank-stare-meh-gif-9603576

[hollow lava]

But I ain't arguing with the pro gamer 1500 hour guy, if you think 7kg makes you overweight then hey

[cosmic tinsel]

fwiw, ive never heard about this overweight thing, and i cant find info to support it other than people claiming it on reddit posts

i've had ruaf bug out but i havent paid attention to weight status

but for all other exfils with "rules", they tell you the issue (red rebel, hole in fence, manhole)

[hollow lava]

Exactly

[cosmic tinsel]

like for my own sake i'd hope thats right but im not convinced without additional evidence

[hollow lava]

I just know it 100% has nothing to do with weight, 7kg doesn't make you overweight lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

fsure

[bold kernel]

i didnt have jack shit on me

and ive never heard the overweight thing either

[spice pecan]

Just to say, I have gotten out at RUAF plenty of times overweight

[floral rose]

i can assure people it is a weight system just because a ttv says so you jump on their band wagon wow cant help the stupid i suppose

[cosmic tinsel]

i didnt say its not bud

i said i cant find evidence supporting your claim

and im a 1 viewer ttver

[bold kernel]

theres countless of reddit posts and forum posts about it

[hollow lava]

Stop being toxic, You can't be overweight with nothing but a pistol and mags it has nothing to do with the weight system. Or can you explain how I couldn't extract from RUAF when it was up with 7kg total weight?

[nocturne ice]

RUAF roadblock sometimes bugged for me but mostly it has come through but I never go through that side anyways

[bold kernel]

yeah this is the first time i had this

[hollow lava]

The Airbender himself has agreed.

[cosmic tinsel]

ruaf has been working for me lately, but i did catch a non-fatal igolnik to the arm last time i tried to take it

[bold kernel]

it works 99% of the time for me tho

[hollow lava]

Same, I've only had it bug out twice.

[bold kernel]

i had to run all the way to trailer park

kinda annoying

[hollow lava]

F

[zinc fiber]

if anyone needs help, a guide, or more of a sherpa kind of deal DM me, ill be glad to help !

[deep pelican]

real question is, why are you extracting with 7kg total weight 😮

[bold kernel]

my question is not why, its HOW

im running a super lightweight kit, slick, blackrock, no backpack, Ulach and a meta HK and im damn near 25kg

like

are you running just a pistol

to be 7kg

[deep pelican]

i would assume so lol, no other explaination

[soft lion]

can anyone help me on customs mainly dorms?

[bold kernel]

if you're new, i'd say avoid dorms. but I can give you a hand with a raid or 2 later today

[soft lion]

well im not too new im lvl 6 and have played a bit with good friends so i got decent game knowledge and ive done dorms before

[hard arch]

For the vendors, is level 2 unlock also based on pmc level?

[bold kernel]

yes. in the top right, you'll see the level requirement, the decimal value, which is the loyalty requirement, and then the far right is the money requirement

[hard arch]

Ah I see. I gotta level my pmc more then for the level 2 then

[bold kernel]

iirc prapor 2 is pmc level 15

and therapist 2 is level 12

[hard arch]

Ye. I’m level 11 atm

I think therapist is 13?

[bold kernel]

can someone help me extract in customs i got al abs keycard and idk what safe route to take to get to my extract

im not 100% sure what each level is, im level 40 i have all max traders anyway.

[deep pelican]

do you have quests to do? or marked key?

[bold kernel]

sure, ill dm call you

thans

anyone wanna play

[soft lion]

well i got to give prapor 2 mp133

[deep pelican]

you dont have to go to dorms for that, dorms are kind of pointless without quests there/marked key, just a death trap for no real benefit if you have nothing drawing you there

[soft lion]

ok thanks

[hard arch]

have you gotten the scav kills in customs? @soft lion

[soft lion]

yea

[hard arch]

so for the mp-133s you can get them off of scavs usually

[soft lion]

ok

[hard arch]

or if your friends don't mind, jaeger sells them fairly cheap and they can just give them to you in a pmc raid and you can turn them in as well

i think they go for around 23k ruples each

[short hare]

how do fucking scav bots 1 shot me

[eager pulsar]

headshot

[bold kernel]

if you have the quest "introduction" from mechanic, go unlock jaeger

and buy the 2 mp-133s from him

i believe the intro quest unlocks at level 2

[slow sleet]

Gotta be careful though this is now seen as boosting which is bannable.

[heavy oasis]

Yo what tasks do you need ox bleach for?

[cosmic tinsel]

gotta just run mp-133s every raid and hope your buddy doesnt loot your stuff when you get head,eyesed by a scav im hearin 😉

joking - mp133s show up naturally with frequency

[slow sleet]

Lol

[pure hinge]

Hi I'm a level 5 EU starter, can I join someone?

[woven cliff]

is anyone helping beginners atm?

[hollow lava]

I was trying to just kill scavs

Homie had to go off so we just tried to extract quick and yeah didn't loot anything.

[hollow lava]

yes, I just had a five-seven with two spare mags nothing else.

[mossy gorge]

I'm completely new, I got the game today:)

[cinder hound]

no

[torpid zinc]

oh fuck wrong task lmao

[vestal root]

where should i find in raid toz

[cinder hound]

everywhere

go kill scavs

task is super easy

[cinder hound]

Good luck and come here if ur confused on anything

but please google your question before asking here cuz idk about most of the other people but if you ask is dorm room 206 good or something of the sort

we probably will google the key name and tell u

[zealous needle]

I've been thinking about getting tarkov but only standard. Is the game still worth the buy?

[cinder hound]

yes

u mean the EOD?

[zealous needle]

nah standard edition, thats why I'm asking if its still worth to play

[cinder hound]

Wait so

u dont have the game

[zealous needle]

no

[cinder hound]

Oh yea

dude get the game 😛

think of it this way

[hollow lava]

Yes

[cinder hound]

people pay 60$ for a game like assassins creed

and they spend like 3 days max and beat the full game and never touch it again

meanwhile in tarkov

you will spend over 1k hours

[zealous needle]

lol alright

[cinder hound]

and still play it

[eager pulsar]

if you find you want EOD after you play the game, you can always upgrade

[cinder hound]

^

but it only is more worth it when you first start

to be honest

[hollow lava]

Sooner or later you'll also not want to spent millions of roubles to upgrade your stash and just buy eod.

[cinder hound]

You will not understand what we are saying until ur almost lvl 10

and have no room to unload loot

[eager pulsar]

nah tbh I have like 130h and just barely started punisher questline, it's still worth buying by then

[zealous needle]

alright thanks guys

[cinder hound]

it is possible to get the EOD stash by only buying the standard edition

the only thing is, with an eod stash, you could be using all that money to be having fun in this game

rather than spending 70% of your time organizing your stash

and u cant hoard guns with a standard edition either, which most new players wil do

um

u want my honest opinion?

[hollow lava]

PP-19, SKS and Hunters but especially PP-19 its such a good gun

[cinder hound]

you should not be using anything but an sks

until u hit lvl 10

because you cant buy correct ammo

even for guns that u get out of your raids

unless u have a stockpile of good ammo

[torpid zinc]

is this task worth even doing?

[cinder hound]

but even then, you cant mod the guns well unless you have flea market

[hollow lava]

Don't forget about the PP man

[cosmic tinsel]

only if you want to use the ash-12 frequently

[torpid zinc]

ive never even used it

this my second wipe ever

first wipe was year ago lol

[cosmic tinsel]

theres a craft for ofz shells now

and military batteries are a lot cheaper than they were, and come thru my scav junkbox regularly

i did the quest b ecause it was easy and not overly expensive

but theres no need to

[torpid zinc]

i dont really want to use my fir lion to make shells

need to those for task i think

[deep pelican]

run reserve, you can find ofz shells pretty often

and military batteries

[cosmic tinsel]

oh for sure dont use fir

i just bought 2 off the flea

[blazing heron]

is hot delivery required for kappa

[cosmic tinsel]

yaya

[distant bluff]

i just got the game tf should i do first

[cosmic tinsel]

probably start with accepting the quest from prapor

[eager pulsar]

run around customs in offline mode

[cosmic tinsel]

and then you can either throw yourself at it with low gear kits, or practice in offline mode

in any event, pull up a customs map either on mapgenie or the tarkov wiki

[distant bluff]

i did a few offline runs and 1 online one so ye

[cosmic tinsel]

emotionally prepare yourself for setbacks

[blazing heron]

is living high is not a crime part 2 required for kappa? on wiki it only says part 1

[cosmic tinsel]

i have no idea tbh

frankly i'd just gather the materials for em anyway

given that living high is not a crime part 2 is at the end of a different quest branch, i'd guess it's required

[hoary yacht]

nikita

where tf is the gas analysers man

[eager pulsar]

I think it's required

[hoary yacht]

fix yo game cuz

[eager pulsar]

filing cabinets

[hoary yacht]

non

i did 20 runs

found 3 graphics cards

[cosmic tinsel]

i have been finding a ton of em in idea office

[hoary yacht]

0 gas analyzers

[hoary yacht]

in interchange?

[cosmic tinsel]

nah the idea office in labs

😉

[eager pulsar]

lol

[hoary yacht]

yikes

no way im going to labs

😭

[cosmic tinsel]

sorry thats a joke yes interchange

[eager pulsar]

he's trolling you

[hoary yacht]

damn

bamboozoled

[eager pulsar]

there's only one idea

[torpid zinc]

are they in like specific spot or just all around? rn in reserve as a scav

[cosmic tinsel]

idea office shelves have had a lot of gasans and broken gphones

[hoary yacht]

but i find nothing so anonying, ive found 3 graphic cards but no gas analyzer? like how. I only need one actually

ive been doing that i found nothing

[cosmic tinsel]

and i been ignoring em for graphics cards 😉

[hoary yacht]

im so close but so far away

😆

alright here goes nothing

lets hope i find one

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah... keep pokin around

i'd hit idea office shelves, oli shelves, and then maybe techlight/texho shelves once you're deep enough in raid

there is like 0 chance that rats loot gasans - their value per slot is terrible

[deep pelican]

you can find them a lot of times in the garage buildings

some spawns are behind keys

[cerulean fiber]

He i need help trying to find flash-drives any suggestions

[sick snow]

i found a few in customs, the cabins beside big red

not flash drives, gas ans

[hoary yacht]

nothing again rip

It's mad that you have to find it in raid

[eager pulsar]

safes, caches, filing cabinets are good places for flash drives

[cosmic tinsel]

if you can prioritize other quests i'd just do that

and keep hitting spots that might have gasans

[hoary yacht]

the thing is

[eager pulsar]

can't progress therapist without that questline

[hoary yacht]

i need level 3 therapist so i can get my intelligence center

[cosmic tinsel]

sure, but other vendors?

[hoary yacht]

i have graphic cards just sitting there, i want to build the intelligence center so i can make some bitcoins. So i can study and farm :3

i need to finish jaeger too. Need level 2 for him but i think he is pretty easy.

I've done all her quest, that's the only one left.

round 2

[cosmic tinsel]

yep... good luck

rng is a cruel mistress

[brazen igloo]

Good Luck

Jaeger's quests is hard

[hoary yacht]

jesus

[brazen igloo]

So dont underestimate him

[hoary yacht]

so many sweaty people on interchange

[coarse plaza]

what does the midwest 13.5" mlok for hk need ive tried every barrel

[brazen igloo]

@coarse plaza maybe you didnt researched it yet

[hoary yacht]

yeah i guess but i need i think 3 quest on him 😄

[brazen igloo]

@hoary yacht later youll need lvl3 for basement

[coarse plaza]

is there a way to find a research on flea

[strong barn]

look up AR barrels and middle click them all @coarse plaza
anything for 556

[hoary yacht]

i need jaeger level two

for my water collector

then i can sit back and make bitcoings

[torpid zinc]

what about this? is it worth getting tape key for this task?

[coarse plaza]

ty

[deep pelican]

dont need it, just go resort late and itll likely be open

[hard arch]

do hidden stashes always spawn in maps, or are they random

[deep pelican]

always same place

[torpid zinc]

ohh u right thanks

[deep pelican]

yep 🙂 it would be nice to have if you want to rush it for loot and all that, but in terms of the quest, just head there late and its almost gauranteed to be open

[hoary yacht]

What ammo can i put in this one?

I need 14 kills in customs just want to run thorugh the dorms and kill some scav

is flechete good+

Flechette

[coarse plaza]

https://tarkov.ascheron.dev/

[hoary yacht]

look it up, but i still dont understand

even though i pick the one with the most armor pen it dosen't seem to do much xD

i got recommended bt and gzh and those seem to do very well for budget ammo

[coarse plaza]

more damage more pen better if its just scavs normally you want atleast 30 pen i would say

flechette doesnt seem to do much damage

[hoary yacht]

but i has 31 pen

[coarse plaza]

true

[hoary yacht]

makes no sense lool

[cunning pilot]

Does this weapon work for tarkov shooter pt1?

[hoary yacht]

225 dmg is good no?

[coarse plaza]

ap-20 slugs are nice if you can get them

[hoary yacht]

too expensive, i just want to run thorugh customs real quick and get some scav kills for the therapist

Seems like i need to be pmc to do the quest as well

[coarse plaza]

im not sure bud maybe someone else can i answer im not great with ammos especially shotgun

[hoary yacht]

Thx anyways, hopefully this is enough

[upper iron]

You literally have to be PMC to do ALL killing quests and other quests, except ones where you need like gas analysers, you can do that on scav

[hoary yacht]

faxs, good to know

gave up on the gas analyzer

only found 1 in 20+ raids

[upper iron]

Check filing cabiners

Cabinets

[hoary yacht]

no luck

hopefully i will run by one

[plain escarp]

Any suggestions on the PMC pistol kills? Idk why but the pistols are rough for me lol

[bronze void]

get a 5-7 go factory try to tap heads

or a full auto glock but the recoil can be a bit hard

[plain escarp]

@hoary yacht file cabinets in reserves. I found all my analyzers there.

@bronze void I should go 193 ammon in the 5-7 yeh?

[upper iron]

190 >:]

[plain escarp]

Whoops lol yeah I meant 190 😂

Thanks guys

[upper iron]

190

[plain escarp]

I keep typing 193 cause I’m dumb. But yeah yeah I have all the 190 ammo I need

[upper iron]

Enjoy =D

[plain escarp]

@hoary yacht personally I like flech for the shotgun. Kneecaps. Shoot knee caps

[hoary yacht]

gonna hit reserve agai n

[copper shale]

I need some help for gunsmith part 4

He wont accept the gun, the ergo is too low.

[bronze void]

just search it on youtube, there a lot of videos that tell you exactly what to do

[copper shale]

Yeah, and I did just that.

For 2020 change

[warped knot]

@copper shale take out magazine

[hoary yacht]

can you chat while in game?

[copper shale]

taking out mag, and the next yt video wont help either. Recoil is still too high...

[azure canopy]

is it possible to get help with a customs quest? have to go to 203 in 3rd story

[gloomy rose]

Best ammo for 100zeroing for sv-98 any1 knows?

[cosmic tinsel]

probably lps gzh

[bold kernel]

hey anyone know the best map to start off with? I've been doing reserve but im not sure if that's the best one to do.

[cosmic tinsel]

lps gzh, 7n1, and snb all shoot about the same speed

[cosmic tinsel]

a lot of the early missions are on customs, which makes it a good one to start with

i personally think shoreline and woods are the easiest maps to play safely, so if you want to get some practice in you could try there too

[bold kernel]

okay thank you for the help.

[modest tulip]

is there like a discord black market bot, i wanna know how much things are worth so i can save them once im lvl 10

[cosmic tinsel]

https://tarkov-market.com/

flea market not black market 😉

[solid steppe]

do crafted items count as found in raid?

[limber notch]

Should I always do raids with good loot? Ive been doing mostly factory pistol runs which usually result in me dieing

[bold kernel]

what do u consider good loot

thats kinda time waste

[limber notch]

Decked out ak, trooper/6B13 armour + decent rig and penis helmet?

BT/BS ammo?

[bold kernel]

i would run pp19

with ap6.3

[limber notch]

pp19 is a good gun

Can it be full auto? Mine only have single fire

[bold kernel]

yeah

wait ill show u mine

i think u can even buy it like this from a dealer

[limber notch]

Can you use command panel to change sens?

[limber notch]

How much is the whole gun?

[bold kernel]

like 100-120k on flea

they sell it build like this

[rapid trench]

think it sells for 70k ish, so would buy for about 40% more

[bold kernel]

cuz of the quest and trader

[wraith linden]

^

[limber notch]

I tried reserve and got railed today

[bold kernel]

spray the head with it

[rapid trench]

A few bosses can have it setup like that

[wraith linden]

aw wut da fuq i cant call my self a dumb dumb

[bold kernel]

and ull take down geared players too

[limber notch]

Oh yeah i killed a geard guy with stock pp19

[rapid trench]

more about good ammo than a tricked out gun

[bold kernel]

yeah

ap6.3

the recoil isnt high also

[rapid trench]

AP as a base, 7n31 is silly price

[wraith linden]

that for the pp19?

[rapid trench]

its 9x19mm

[wraith linden]

what ap6.3 is?

[rapid trench]

yep

[wraith linden]

ah

[rapid trench]

AP 6.3 is second highest pen 9mm ammo

[wraith linden]

didnt know i been running bunch of fun smgs on factory 5 mans and solo

mp9 mp5 mp7 pp19

[bold kernel]

7n is like 700 per bullet more expensive

[slender mist]

vector on factory go brrrrr

[wraith linden]

die everytime but still fun

[rapid trench]

mp7 isn't 9mm

mp9 is

[wraith linden]

smgs*

[limber notch]

Is this the best m4 you can make?

[wraith linden]

i know i just run what i have until i die

[rapid trench]

nowhere close

[limber notch]

Better in recoil or ergo?

[rapid trench]

can get recoil under 30

and ergo above 55 I think

[wraith linden]

i believe there are "meta builds" from what I have seen

[limber notch]

The guy with this gun shredded my entire body

[bold kernel]

u should start making a bit of money

u seem a bit low on money

[limber notch]

Ik im poor af

[bold kernel]

do stash runs

on interchange or customs

[limber notch]

I tried reserve and got trashed around a bit

I got the orb1 key

I couldnt find extract and scav insta headshot me apart from 4 other deaths to players

Reserve seems like a good map but Idk it at all

Factory is fun but is a loot sinkhole

[limpid yoke]

anyone have a pilgrim scav? been looking for it forever

[bold kernel]

do customs

[limber notch]

What do I loot at customs?

I dont know what/where to loot.

[bold kernel]

crackhouse , boiler house , stashes , main

[limber notch]

So I kinda just roam around and die

[bold kernel]

ive gotten used to customs and i make atleast 200k a run now

200k being a bad run

[limber notch]

Isnt it scary to raid solo? One hidden guy and poof, all ur loot gone

[river ruin]

Your best to run with a map open to refer to if possible

[limber notch]

Ik the layout but none of loot spawns

except some caches

[wraith linden]

spawns on a lot of maps dont make sense as well at least for a new player :/

[river ruin]

Second monitor is a big help

[bold kernel]

ive been raiding solo for 100 hours now

[wraith linden]

i think most maps have player spawns like 100 meters next to you on every map

[bold kernel]

duo aint it

for me

[limber notch]

I have 50hrs apparently, 35 are probably afk/in stash

[wraith linden]

^ i either go solo or 5 man and thats to learn if im comfy ill play solo if im struggling and dont wanna watch a youtueb video on it ill go to 5 man and learn it with a team

[limber notch]

I guess im playing tarkov like a BR

Get loot, go fight, die, repeat

[wraith linden]

eh I mean you could play liek that but I go in for what I need or want to do

[rapid trench]

Thats one way to play it

[wraith linden]

I go into either rat and loot and hide and maybe kill someone if i find em

or I go pvping

[rapid trench]

Most do, gear > quests > better gear > more quests > end-game gear > pvp in labs

[wraith linden]

labs is a fuck fest

[limber notch]

Im tempted to reset account but want to keep the good guns I have

[deep pelican]

labs is so fun lol

[wraith linden]

ive only been to labs 3 times

and i dont want to go again

[deep pelican]

haha why not?

[wraith linden]

is like take my money

either stuff it up your bum or take my money

[deep pelican]

learn the map and then its pretty enjoyable, not having to worry about getting ratted on is nice

[wraith linden]

yeah def gonna take some practice

[deep pelican]

your kills are usually worth the money spent on your ammo, unlike other maps

[limber notch]

Whats a good map to solo for loot? And what should I do?

[deep pelican]

scav reserve makes easy money

[wraith linden]

I go to customs^

[limber notch]

Oh so ill save scavs for reserve, A) to learn B) to get loot

[rapid trench]

scav on interchange or reserve

[deep pelican]

not a bad call, you can usually even find easy pmc/raider loot just chilling by the trains

[wraith linden]

factory is ok for scav if you just want the scav kit but honestly isn't worth it

[rapid trench]

do the stash loot loop around interchange, or try to find dead raiders/PMCs on reserve

[deep pelican]

as much as i like reserve, i dont recommend it for anyone until they get RR, pmc extracts are just aids

[rapid trench]

scav runs there are easy

[deep pelican]

yea, scav extracts are super nice

[rapid trench]

for PMC, get the RR, that's such a good extract

[limber notch]

So I should not pmc reserve till RR?

[rapid trench]

if you do, don't take a backpack

[deep pelican]

you can, but the extracts for pmc are so bad

well not bad, just sketch lol

[upper iron]

Haha you can just expect to die 50% of the time to some shitcunt sitting at the extract behind the bright lights =]

[rapid trench]

Sewer extract is easiest

[wraith linden]

^

[limber notch]

Armoured rig good?

[river ruin]

PMC reserve isn't bad without rr just have to know the map

[rapid trench]

yeah, M1 is a good armoured rig

two 2x2 slots for big loot

[proven parrot]

can scaving reserve make me a bit of money from raiders and get me better at fights? do you suggest that?

[rapid trench]

a few 2x1s and 1x1s

[bold kernel]

i always thougth that main and stuff on customs is always super contested

but im mostly alone there i can loot the whole building and extract below if power is on

its so free

[rapid trench]

It's possible but can be hard as they are very aggressive

[limber notch]

Is there a way to decrease the amount of deaths?

[cosmic tinsel]

raiders are tough but they dont play like players

[rapid trench]

get shot less

[cosmic tinsel]

they have decent to fantastic loot

[limber notch]

Like, aim train so something?

[bold kernel]

listen alot

and scout alot

[rapid trench]

listen, understand spawns and usual player routings

[limber notch]

I cant do shit like strafe white shooting or jump like I normally do

[cosmic tinsel]

try to figure out if you're dying due to poor aim or poor positioning/awareness

[limber notch]

Most deaths are surprises

[cosmic tinsel]

probably the latter, then

[deep pelican]

a/d spam while shooting is pretty busted in this game

[rapid trench]

strafing and shooting tends to fail unless you are VERY good

[deep pelican]

just like pushing people around corners is

[limber notch]

Busted as in good?

[rapid trench]

pushing corners is good but you have to prefire campers

bad

[limber notch]

pushing ppl around corners is the best thing to do imo

[deep pelican]

usually ill shoulder peak a corner and draw some shots first

[rapid trench]

gun swings side to side WAY more than it should when changing direction

[limber notch]

Peakers advantage is so OP in this

[deep pelican]

it should sway more than it does tbh

[bold kernel]

what i do is use vaseline if i feel like im going to fight someone or if its a high traffic area

[limber notch]

I found out you can cancel meds if you double click

[rapid trench]

or select a weapon

spam press 2/3

[limber notch]

I usually just used to chicken dance if they came to me while medding

100% death rate doing that btw

[quaint sun]

Yo. Ima a bit of a newer player lookin for some help

[small snow]

yo i need help im level 8

[rapid trench]

help doing what?

gotta be less vague

[small snow]

just playing and getting loot

[cosmic tinsel]

still p vague

learn maps and focus on surviving, not killing at first

[limber notch]

I mainly die to : Ppl in a bush that I see too late
Ppl I dont even see
People who way outgear me
I make a dumb decision

[small snow]

i know maps

[rapid trench]

play offline to learn the maps, run around without any players or scavs, have a map on your second monitor or phone and learn where loot is

[quasi belfry]

can someone tell me why the grenade launcher is raging me?

[rapid trench]

add in scavs and learn to aim, try different guns and tap-shooting and full auto spray

[cosmic tinsel]

bush campers are a pain to deal with, but try to scan bushes as much as you can, and learn where you need to be wary of bush camping (outside of dorms, for example). people you dont see is something you'll need to develop - continue practicing scanning and looking for things that dont belong

[rapid trench]

Lots of good maps on the wiki, try the stashes on interchange/shoreline/woods/customs on a scav run, lots of money to be had in them

[cosmic tinsel]

outgeared players and dumb decisions you wanna avoid

[limber notch]

I was in a fight on interchange near the broken bridge/flyover road thing. Got the drop on someone but didnt kill him. We were behind the stone supports peaking each other. I poped a pk and tried to switch position but got gunned down half way. Was that a bad thing to do. What should I have done instead?

[cosmic tinsel]

exsqueeze me

[bold kernel]

never repeak something unless you can quick peak really well

[quasi belfry]

why is the grenade launcher 1 shor

shot

[bold kernel]

or hes open

[quasi belfry]

iam triggerd

[cosmic tinsel]

its a 300k rouble gun

they're super rare

[bold kernel]

GLs are like

ive never encountered one

[rapid trench]

you are exsqueezed

[cosmic tinsel]

ive been killed once by one and it was terrifying

[rapid trench]

GL is pretty rare outside of labs

[cosmic tinsel]

i got nuked while hiding in german

[rapid trench]

the fixed ones on customs and reserve are silly

can wipe out dorms using that

gives headshots too

[cosmic tinsel]

i got a 95m headshot on someone using the GL in customs... i am so mad it wasnt 5 more meters 😉

[cosmic tinsel]

can you... sbih off GL?

[rapid trench]

yep

[cosmic tinsel]

jesus.

[rapid trench]

lots of clips of people getting that on customs by spamming the GL into dorms

check all the kills with grenades, always a headshot

I think it does a weird calculation when the grenade goes off that draws a line to the head if they are in range and kills them if it is TRUE

lots of clips again of lamposts/pillars blocking damage from them, no damage to limbs

[deep pelican]

if you get everything 0d out by a nade, itll say headshot

[quasi moth]

hello guys

i just started and lost some stuff idk what to bring with me now

like i still have a lot but i dont wanna lose it all

[plush quest]

[cosmic tinsel]

i believe it gives you a prompt

[plush quest]

oh

i put one on my character maybe?

[cosmic tinsel]

guns are the cheapest part of the equation - more money and mods are reasonable. i threw most of my money at my hideout first

[cosmic tinsel]

you can try that. i didnt find fireklean until after my upgrade

sorry i cant help more 😦

[modest tulip]

is bpz ammo good?

[cosmic tinsel]

not really

it has low pen but high flesh damage, you kinda have to go legs with it

[bold kernel]

i spawn and get spawn rushed by a squad again

ugh i hate it

[cosmic tinsel]

customs?

[bold kernel]

yeah

tbh wasnt even spawn rush

it was just a early fight

that i couldnt run away from

[wind gulch]

you totally can if you are expecting them lol

[polar roost]

people who complain about spawns never know them

knowing spawns in literally ur best friend and a 1 way ticket to loot

[modest tulip]

what about hp ammo

is it expensive

[cosmic tinsel]

its cheap and not good

[drifting remnant]

Anybody having an issue after raids? Its not continuing onto the next screen as the exp is awarded. It eventually works after a few mins but rather annoying, thanks in advance for any insight.

[violet mica]

Do you guys think there will be a labs boss

[pure talon]

you can trade more items at once

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

Each player has a reputation value (starting at 0.20) which affects their number of offers and the view other players have upon their offers.

Reputation is gained upon successfully completing deals. Every ₽50,000 gained from deals incrementally increases the player's reputation.
Reputation is lost whenever an offer is not fulfilled, removals included.
Offer slots are increased upon reaching a certain reputation value and decreased upon dropping below it. All offer slot increase thresholds can be seen in the following table:

[pure talon]

yes, you just have to switch the button

[modest tulip]

is an ofz shell expensive?

[ebon summit]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Collector

[ebon summit]

[cosmic tinsel]

someone brought up another good idea in this channel the other day - get ONE friend, go woods/shoreline, insure the armor, and have him shoot you at the start of raid, throw your armor into a lake

[torpid zinc]

aint no my friends play tarkov

[hollow lava]

How much are bitcoin selling for to therapist? I don't know if I should trade it a tetriz I found for a bitcoin and sell it or sell the tetriz on the flea

[ebon summit]

tired to do factory 5 stack but people cba helping others with a quest

not most i tried to do it with 😦 they all say they are doing farm not helping qith quests

[sacred knoll]

hey im new to the game and was hoping i could get a person or 2 to show me the ropes. ive done a few runs but im still fresh

[limber notch]

Reserve is like the jack of all trades map? (Pvp, and calm areas, all types of loot (med, military, food ect) )

[oak flame]

Midas you wanna pair up?

I’m semi new but I think we’ll buff it out

[limber notch]

Is surviving with loot easier on reserve than interchange? (If you dont take backpack or have RR)

[mortal zenith]

Im new to this game. I suck. If anyone wants to show me the ropes thatd be sick

[limber notch]

So for money interchange is better?

[severe echo]

Yeah for customs me and my friend go straight to crack house and rashallas construction area and end runs both with around 200k of loot for a 20 min run

[limber notch]

1-1.5 m lrovided you find a gpu and tetriz tho no?

Interchange stash run gives about 50k-100k

[severe echo]

Also shadow if you want a easy way to make money my friend made money buy the key for east wing 222 for shoreline go there with nothing but the key in you admin container and put either a tetriz or a ledx in your admin pouch my friend didnt survive the runs but still make 800k off 3 runs

i like interchange a lot but honestly it just is harder to get around imo

i have level 9 end lmaoo

[limber notch]

I was in the process of buy orb 1 and 2 for reserve

[severe echo]

im only level 11 got the game like 2 weeks ago

[limber notch]

And running white pawn

[severe echo]

well no level 13 now

[limber notch]

Me or klax?

[severe echo]

My average run gives me about 200k but i suck at surviving runs

[limber notch]

I have only really done 2 money runs, 1 of them I went to tech light, got gpu and died. So 150k in total

[severe echo]

i give my friend all the good loot so he gets like 800k

[limber notch]

And i did 1 stash run and got like 60k

My other income comes from stuff i get while roaming and sell

I died

Yeah

Yeah, im too low for bit coin

[severe echo]

is making bit coin farm really important i dont really mess with hideout

damn thats actually really good

[limber notch]

Bit coin farm takes a decent amount to get started tho

[severe echo]

right im just working on upping my intel center

[limber notch]

No idea what an intel centre is

[severe echo]

makes quests give more money and lowers scav timer

[limber notch]

I upgraded med station for passive heal and heating for passive energy

Thats it

[severe echo]

yes?

[limber notch]

I guess interchange would be good to learn for the items you need for hideout as well as money

[severe echo]

interchange is def the best for hideout stuff ive learned

[limber notch]

And ill do scav runs in reserve to learn map and try make money

Is that a good plan?

[severe echo]

reserve is more just for killing people honestly

and also if you get to the quest sniper made in heaven use interchange for it

[limber notch]

So I should just learn interchange inside out

And customs too

[severe echo]

i have a friend that did it

ohhh that makes sense

he did say that is a possible way to do it so i guess he didnt know about the change

alright sounds good

[limber notch]

Are there good keys for interchange?

[severe echo]

shadow you know the best keys for customs imo

[limber notch]

Marked?

[severe echo]

marked key and for comp parts customs office key

[limber notch]

Customs office is the one in big red?

Is it worth going old gas to check for RR?

Red rebel

[severe echo]

yeah safe key is nice to have i just like big red key for the 3 comp and intel can spawn in there as well

[limber notch]

According to wiki

What does green smoke mean btw?

At old gas

[severe echo]

whats giving tree?

ive never heard of that

[limber notch]

The tree near the med bag

[fleet skiff]

Is anyone willing to maybe team up with me finding it really hard to come to grips with the game map wise?

[limber notch]

Apparently any item can spawn there

[severe echo]

alright giving tree kinda lookin cute

[fleet skiff]

Any maps cool with me just want to kind of get a feel for the game

[limber notch]

I guess ill do reserve once im decent at the game

Only map I never did yet is shoreline

Also woods is prob my least liked map

[fleet skiff]

Yeah been playing customs I get alright gear and ready to extract but can never find where to extract ahaha

And end up dying trying to find where

[severe echo]

i honestly like shoreline

its fun

[limber notch]

Customs is basically if you spawn left you run right and vice versa

[fleet skiff]

Ah right im with you

[cosmic otter]

Hello! i started playing 2 days ago and im starting to get a grip of customs and just basics of the game so far but im having a lot of trouble off of spawn getting killed, would anyone group with me and help me out a bit more?

[severe echo]

most of the time you always have old gas smithladd if it has green smoke you can extract if no smoke then no extract

[fleet skiff]

Yeah im down 🙂

[cosmic otter]

bet

[limber notch]

I know the layout of the map basically but I dont know loot spawns

And the warehouse area seems hella risky

[fleet skiff]

Cool no worries

[severe echo]

customs is by far easiest map to learn btw

[limber notch]

Im saying customs

Warehouse where the boss can spawn

[severe echo]

yeah theres just too many extracts that have requirements

[limber notch]

And zb 13

[severe echo]

wait rashalla?

[limber notch]

He spawns over zb 13, new gas and idk intel building

[fleet skiff]

Been killed that many times haven't even got a weapon now ahahahha

[limber notch]

Wait ur talking about reserve

There is a turret on customs?

[severe echo]

i only knew about rashallas spawns at the one construction building and gas

[limber notch]

Yeah i have stayed away from there

So idk much about it

Lol

[severe echo]

ive never actually seen him dorms and ive done like 20 runs there only ever seen normal scav

normally always see him gas
