[shy coral]

really considering buying from prapor

[tardy verge]

AK-74u is like an AK47 with less recoil and better ergo

I think

[shy coral]

what bullet is best

idk about bullet types in tarkov

[tardy verge]

Oh do i have a page for you

[short solstice]

😳

[tardy verge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

I have this open

At all times

[shy coral]

nice thx

[tardy verge]

Its a chart with all the bullets and their stats

Armor pen is generally the best stat to look for

Cuz armor in this game stops bullets entirely

If they dont penetrate

[shy coral]

oh thats why people took a hell lot of shot i stupidly used aramid

[tardy verge]

Well if its all you can afford

You may have noticed the bodypart health

[shy coral]

no i have UHMWPE thing

[tardy verge]

Heads die to most bullets in one shot

[shy coral]

yeah but people uses helmet all the time

so maybe 2 shots

[tardy verge]

Helmets are weird

Cuz you see

Your head hitbox is segmented into a lot of smaller sections

Top, nape(back of neck), ears(side of head), eyes, and jaw

Most helmets dont protect all of these areas

So alot of the time you get headshot in the eyes and the helmet was never touched

Its still good to bring a helmet

[shy coral]

nah im a rat

i shoot people from the back

[tardy verge]

So a common helmet early and even late game is the green round one

Like ur from ww2

[bold kernel]

i lost my gear fear like 50 hours into the game

im having too much fun pvping while geared

[shy coral]

yeah by not dying everytime

[tardy verge]

Btw

[bold kernel]

no

i die 90% of the time

[tardy verge]

Tarkov is unique in that hipfiring has no penalty on accuracy

[bold kernel]

this is an expensive gearfear

[shy coral]

yeah just use lasers

[bold kernel]

and lifestyle

[tardy verge]

Do you insure?

Insurance is nice if you have gear fear

[shy coral]

only expensive or hard to get things

[tardy verge]

I insure everything

[shy coral]

if its cheap af no

its pointless to insure if people pick it up

[tardy verge]

Insuring a helmet that cost 20k for 3k means if i get it back i have a 3k helmet now

Well

Thats the thing

They have to live and get out with that thing they picked up

If they're a chad they're not gonna take ur mp-153 shotgun

If they're a AI scav they wont loot you at all

[shy coral]

u take shotty for debut or maybe cheap loadout?

[tardy verge]

I take shotties for fun lol

[shy coral]

nah AI scav aim is funny

[tardy verge]

So shotties are cool because

[shy coral]

im reloading in front of an AI scav and they just ignored me as a PMC

[tardy verge]

You can throw 8-9 pellets at someone

[shy coral]

long range shotty?

[tardy verge]

And if ANY of them

[shy coral]

ah pellets

[tardy verge]

Hit the cranium

They die

[lunar silo]

can I level up traders by selling stuff to them?

[tardy verge]

That and by upping their reputation via quests

[shy coral]

yes

[lunar silo]

ah perfect

[shy coral]

and buying

from them

[tardy verge]

Buying counts too

[lunar silo]

what does selling count toward then?

[tardy verge]

Insuring from prapor/therapist adds to that number too

[shy coral]

there is slugshots in this game right

[tardy verge]

Any money exchanged adds

To them, from them

[lunar silo]

does selling to them count toward money spent?

[tardy verge]

Yes

[lunar silo]

oooh, perfect

time to sell a bunch of shitty ammo to peacekeeper to level him up

[tardy verge]

Also therapist heals count towards the number too

[lunar silo]

ooh, sick

[shy coral]

but if ur below lvl 5 on first 30 raids heals is free

[tardy verge]

I dont think its first 30 raids just level 5

[lunar silo]

its either

[tardy verge]

Ah

[lunar silo]

first 30 or up until lvl 5

[silver ledge]

Anyone keen to jam Customs US Region Game AU Server just need help completing tasks cheers for any help

[tardy verge]

What tasks?

[lunar silo]

before i sell all my shit ammo, mechanics the best to sell ammo to right?

[silver ledge]

Salewa

Need one more lol

[tardy verge]

@lunar silo for top cash yes

[shy coral]

yea i think so

[lunar silo]

dope

cheers lads

[tardy verge]

However

Dont forget the other traders

They may buy for less but they gotta get some money spent too

[shy coral]

yea u want good rep on all traders

[lunar silo]

yeah ive neglected peacekeeper and jaeger admittedly

[rapid trench]

Peacekeeper always buys for dollars if you are needing them

[shy coral]

all of their items're good

[tardy verge]

Peacekeeper level 2 sells M4A1's

[shy coral]

how do u unlock jager again

[tardy verge]

Introduction quest

[shy coral]

from mechanic right

[tardy verge]

Yes

[rapid trench]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Introduction

[tardy verge]

You just gotta go get an item from woods and get out alive

[short solstice]

Bro I’m getting off for today but tomorrow I need assistance lol this game is tough as shit

[shy coral]

ah ok

[tardy verge]

@short solstice i could prolly help

[shy coral]

the game's unforgiving

[short solstice]

Aight bet

[shy coral]

bro what time are u right now

[short solstice]

11

[shy coral]

im like 8.30 in the morning

[tardy verge]

I dont have my standalone mic with me atm so if anyone wants to play now i'd be pretty bad quality

its 8:30pm here

[short solstice]

Same

[shy coral]

ah

[short solstice]

It’s 11:30

[shy coral]

so ur not in asia

[tardy verge]

nah

[shy coral]

ok

[tardy verge]

im in america

[shy coral]

i play singapore

best ping on me

[short solstice]

I can get on at like 12-2 your time @tardy verge

[rapid trench]

https://tenor.com/view/now-kith-mike-tyson-gif-13249709

[tardy verge]

I work 1:30pm to like 9:30pm tomorrow unfortunately

[crude orbit]

is quakemaker any good

[short solstice]

Damn

[shy coral]

welp my techer told me to get on zoom

[tardy verge]

@crude orbit

[rapid trench]

amazing damage, no pen

[shy coral]

so imma go off

[tardy verge]

Depends

[short solstice]

Aight cya

[shy coral]

cya

[rapid trench]

bb

[tardy verge]

So if you use quakemaker in the legs

Sure

[knotty salmon]

how tf do you play

[tardy verge]

Gear up, raid maps, get out alive

You see

[rapid trench]

it'll one shot to the chest with no armour

[tardy verge]

The main objective of tarkov is to live

[rapid trench]

click heads

[crude orbit]

should i take quakemaker over pst?

[tardy verge]

Fight sure, loot sure

But LIVE

I like pst

[rapid trench]

nah, PST also one shot to the head

[tardy verge]

I'd take pst

[rapid trench]

cheaper too

[tardy verge]

You wont be utterly useless against all armor as well

Pst is a all-around good round

The strategy with SMGs is honestly utilizing low recoil and high RPM to throw a hail of bullets at a head

Only gotta land one

[lunar silo]

best magnified scope for a long range m4 build?

[knotty salmon]

i just got a mppv is that good

[ember torrent]

how effective is strafing and shooting

with snipers

[tardy verge]

well

[rapid trench]

nope

[tardy verge]

depends if your point fire is godly

[lunar silo]

i mean ive hit some godly shots in close range fights with a mosin

[tardy verge]

most top tier pvp is strafe shooting like madmen

why slow yourself down and look through wobbly sights

[lunar silo]

but in general strafing with a sniper is a nono

[tardy verge]

move at full speed and still be fully accurate lmao

[lunar silo]

strafing is even worse with high magnification scopes

[ember torrent]

yeah i got a mosin rn and im scared af

im surrounded in dorms

[lunar silo]

break the window

jump out

run

[tardy verge]

Well

[coral kiln]

yera mohsin not best for doms lol

[tardy verge]

FLEE

[lunar silo]

R E T R E A T

[tardy verge]

SWIM AWAY

[coral kiln]

play dead!

[lunar silo]

F A L L B A C K

hes not typing anymore

i think he was found

[tardy verge]

actually

playing dead might work

just prone and pray

[lunar silo]

until they try looting you

[tardy verge]

yeah..

S O U P R I C E

BANG BANG

[coral kiln]

dertails details, nmaybe take one out at least then

[ember torrent]

i just ran away lmao

[tardy verge]

Well its a mosin

[ember torrent]

hopped out a window

[tardy verge]

So

BANG

[lunar silo]

also just spawned and extracted as a scav with RB-SMP key

[tardy verge]

chichin

BANG

[lunar silo]

700k in the bag

[ember torrent]

now my legs dead pop a piainkiller and rum

[tardy verge]

Be careful

you lose health still from running

if ur low on meds just walk

[ember torrent]

its funny how much better ive done when i dont give af anymore 😦

[lunar silo]

i cant be the only one who enjoys scav raids way too much

[ember torrent]

i used to overthink this game so ahrd

[coral kiln]

i know this isnl;t lfg, but we should get a group of under 10's going and record what happens for laughs. i am only 7 so I woukld be good for some laughs at least

[ember torrent]

researching if i can run or not and if i can quick peek

[lunar silo]

under 10 WHAT? please tell me you're talking about lvl and not age

[coral kiln]

yea level of course

[lunar silo]

im lvl 18

so not me

[ember torrent]

help

I SHOOT PMC 5 TIMES HE DIDNT DIE

he not even moving wtff

[lunar silo]

what ammo

[coral kiln]

only 5?

[ember torrent]

5 in the head

[lunar silo]

you sure he wasnt already dead

or you missed

[coral kiln]

well u either missed or he has a visor

[ember torrent]

either he disconnected or i did

how do i know he wont come bnack and just shit on me

[lunar silo]

shoot him again

[coral kiln]

just stand behing him for a few min 🙂

[ember torrent]

ok ty

he keeps screaming lol

[tardy verge]

AHG

[coral kiln]

but yea i think they can still die if disconnected

[tardy verge]

OOF

AHHHG

OUCH

Just russian cursing

[coral kiln]

batman!

kick him in ther nuts to be sure

oh wait that is nexxt patch

[tardy verge]

jump on his nuts

knife the jugular

[ember torrent]

should i just wait until he come back lol

[tardy verge]

i mean

[onyx wigeon]

Is there a tutorial or anything to help me starting out?

[tardy verge]

its not impossible that he survived

[ember torrent]

he has free kitted ak for me

[tardy verge]

@onyx wigeon offline raids about as close ur gonna get

make sure you check the controls page, there's a lot more then you might think

[lunar silo]

keep stabbing him @ember torrent

[coral kiln]

search for tarkov conpendium web page and pdf. will help you alot with maps, ammo, starting loadouts, etc. after that watch alot of tip on you tube

[rapid trench]

Customs and Woods have had recent map changes so check they are up to date

[coral kiln]

they are on comopendum, same for customs. when i started i used ond customs maps and never could figure out why it did not match

[bold kernel]

how much is run through on reserve

[silver hornet]

same as every other map

[knotty salmon]

who do you sell to in tarkov

[silver hornet]

depends on what you're selling

Therapist for selling barter items, meds, etc
Mechanic for selling guns and weapon mods
Ragman for selling helmets, armor, rigs, etc

[knotty salmon]

thank you

[lusty glacier]

is this a good build? i got it off of some guy who shredded a friend

[tardy verge]

high ergo and decent recoil

could be lower recoil but still decent

[topaz hearth]

Which is the best map to learn except Customs?

[tardy verge]

you mean as in ease of learning?

for like beginners?

[topaz hearth]

Yea

[tardy verge]

factory

super tiny

[topaz hearth]

& that 🤣

[tardy verge]

woods can be tricky

but once you got it you got it

[lunar silo]

reserve if you want high reward but high risk

C:

[tardy verge]

woods is the only "chill" map other than customs and even that is kinda harsh

[topaz hearth]

ok thanks 😄

[tardy verge]

interchange is good to learn but you'll run into harder scavs and more geared players

so for difficulty i'd stick to customs and woods

[coral kiln]

shoreline can be chill too

[bold kernel]

how long is run through on

reserve

fast

[tardy verge]

ive never gone to shoreline actually

been stacking quests

for it

gonna go soon

[coral kiln]

i have my highest surv there

[tardy verge]

learning the maps one at a time

really?

interesting

[coral kiln]

yea was my first map, if u stay away from resort can be fun

[bold kernel]

@cosmic tinsel

how long is run through on reserve

[cosmic tinsel]

they all 10 min

[bold kernel]

ok

im waiting 1 min

i got 2 gpus on me

[brittle hill]

hey guys its my first hour playing and im trying to figure out how extractions work can anyone help me learn this game and raid a bit

[bold kernel]

well that was a free hatchet run

from literally broke on like 250k

to 2 mil

[strong jolt]

Is this hunting trip a meme quest or something

this scope is hilarious

where do you even stand that is far enough way but can still see shturman

[steady coral]

what is the container called that can hold backpacks and rigs

[strong jolt]

a couple

items case and thicc items case

[winter nimbus]

Thicc

[strong jolt]

at least I think items case can hold them

[steady coral]

items cases hold backpacks and rigsa??

[strong jolt]

maybe not

I just assumed

[open axle]

how long before scavs starts spawning when you load into the map

[candid plover]

seriously, I'm losing blood. Why can't I use a bandage

[zinc fiber]

heavy or light bleed

[candid plover]

idk, I lost one of my arms

it's saying that my hp is full... how is that even possible

[zinc fiber]

screenshot?

[candid plover]

well I'm dead now

[zinc fiber]

thats super weird

[candid plover]

right?

[zinc fiber]

no bleeds?

were you empty on food and water>

[candid plover]

no, just spawned

I was bleeding

[chilly plume]

If you couldn't use bandage it was heavy bleeding

[candid plover]

Oh I see so what do I do then

just die?

[open axle]

use IFAK

[candid plover]

what's that

i'll figure it out

another question

the only way to get things from scav is to get to extraction?

[zinc fiber]

use any healing items that stop heavy bleeding

[zinc fiber]

yes

[candid plover]

ok

[strong jolt]

and you don't get quest experience while scaving, aside from getting items

[candid plover]

that's fine

I'm ok with that

[bold kernel]

noob with only one half of a scav run done seeking team mates that have more knowledge then myself

[silver hornet]

"one half of a scav run done"

what

[unreal horizon]

sorry im a little late. you can use tourniquets available from lv 1 therapist to stop heavy bleeds

[zinc fiber]

yes you can

[bold kernel]

well I consider it half as I died half-way through and did not get out safely

[weary oriole]

are you NA? and what level are you?

[bold kernel]

NA but 1 I believe cause I only did that scav run so far

[weary oriole]

oh so you're like BRAND new, did you get your in-game rewards from the website?

[bold kernel]

like the stuff in my stash like the 2x M4A1s and MP5s etc

[fallow folio]

@weary oriole in game rewards?

i am just as new. only 1 scav run so far and honestly im LOST lol

[fathom epoch]

what happens when a raid time runs out is it like an extraction as well

[soft ridge]

i feel you bro

[bold kernel]

same here XD

[weary oriole]

yes that stuff

[bold kernel]

I have it

[weary oriole]

if time runs out gg

[weary oriole]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile scroll down til you see this

but DON'T use it until you get more acquainted with the game, is my advice

@bold kernel we can do a SCAV run but my scav has shotty so 🤷‍♂️ could be good or bad lol

[bold kernel]

I mean, I am down. I had a pp91 last time till I found an op sks and got 3 ai scav kills total

[weary oriole]

im in LFG Customs 25

[radiant dew]

hi im new to the game sea, anyone want to play together

[soft ridge]

EU or NA?

[radiant dew]

sea sg

[orchid moon]

need to do the second part of the delivery from the past task on factory if someone can help me

[candid plover]

how do you get that 😦 who's therapist

[gleaming peak]

So wait IF i had five friends and went into factory it would just be scavs to deal with?

[silver hornet]

until player scavs show up, yep

[candid plover]

also I feel like I'm fighting for my life with easy bots lol

[gleaming peak]

ahhh didnt think about that

is there any NVG or items to assist for night time maps prior to level 10?

[fast pumice]

anyone able to bring me a mlok 4.1 inch guide for gunsmith part 4

[dire matrix]

a good rule for scavs is to never re-peak the same angle

[dire matrix]

theyll turbo aimbot you if they can see you for too long

[silver hornet]

nope, cheapest NVGs you can get are from Skier level 2 I believe

[winter nimbus]

what is that

[gleaming peak]

RIP i found solo playing at night is better

[candid plover]

hmmm

[weary oriole]

thats the items you get at the beginning of each wipe, dont use the guns you'll sad if you do

save them for later on in the game

[candid plover]

I just wanna learn how to extract now 😦

there's a lot that I need to know lmao

[dire matrix]

it usually takes like 300 hours to have a good grasp of the game and its mechanics

[gleaming peak]

@candid plover I pull up a map on my other monitor. (if thats an option for you)

[dire matrix]

its a very steep leaning curve

basically vertical

[gleaming peak]

Sqong it aint a learning curve homie

its a learning cliff

lmao

[candid plover]

lmao, good to know

[dire matrix]

vertical curve same thing

[unreal horizon]

therapist is the 2nd trader under the "dealers" menu at the bottom of your screen

[candid plover]

ahhh, Ok gotcha. If I have it, I can go into offline mode with it and survive?

[unreal horizon]

after leaving offline mode, your character is reset to before the raid. any gear gained or lost is reset, and you dont earn xp. its a great way to practice learning maps and extracts

you can also turn on pve and set scav count to high and scav difficulty to easy. this is great to get comfortable shooting things

[candid plover]

but I can go in match with turniquet

offline

[unreal horizon]

yes you can bring in anything you'd like

[candid plover]

alright sweet sweet

I don't have enough roubles....

in fact I have 0

[unreal horizon]

hmm thats tough, do you have any gear in your stash?

[candid plover]

yeah, I pretty much have all of it

one more thing, seems like there's something about a key for factory?

[glossy jasper]

any of this tasks needed for kappa?

[unreal horizon]

if you need some money you could sell to some of the traders. for now give guns/ammo to mechanic and rigs/backpacks/armor to ragman

[dire matrix]

decontamination service

[glossy jasper]

nooo XD

ty man

[dire matrix]

at least you dont need 3m armor now lol

[candid plover]

If I go scav by myself does that mean I kill everyone on site?

[dire matrix]

as a player scav dont shoot ai scavs because they will be friendly to you

but if you think its a player scav start shooting because most player scavs kill on sight

sadly

[unreal horizon]

if you're a p-scav, ai scavs wont shoot at you as long as you dont shoot them. realistically if you see someone geared as a scav and new player, you're screwed

its 1 less factor to worry about though, you just have to dodge players

[candid plover]

ugh, this is difficult af

I can't even do scavs right

[dire matrix]

it is not an easy game to learn for sure. but when you win, there's no other satisfaction like it

[candid plover]

haha right, as with other hard to play games

[unreal horizon]

don't get too beat up over it. this game is tough af. my best advice for you is to have fun, don't worry about losing gear or dying, it happens to all of us. try to learn as much as you can from guides or playing with experienced players

[bold kernel]

u cant tell me that that reserve marked room isnt broken

u loot it kill a scav go man hole

boom

2 million profit

[candid plover]

Ok, I gotcha, I'm trying not to play with my main for now so I can at least get something down. I wanna be able to complete a game making it to extraction before playing as myself

[rancid mantle]

i need help getting out of

shoreline

[unreal horizon]

oh @candid plover do you know how your alpha container works?

any gear you put in there stays even if you die

so if you're ever fully broke you can run in, fill your pouch and sell the stuff in it

[candid plover]

I have no idea what that is to be honest

[radiant dew]

i feel like im constantly getting 1 shot by scavs am i doing something wrong

[lusty glacier]

is there any aspects/skills in this game that are similar to counter strike?

[radiant dew]

if u die the loot in that box stays with u i think

[dire matrix]

sound, listening to footsteps and gun noises and such

[lusty glacier]

i.e. sound, aim, strategy

[vernal fiber]

stays with you, but if found in raid, is no longer found in raid

[vernal fiber]

you have guns

[lusty glacier]

oh true

[vernal fiber]

also you shoot people with them

[lusty glacier]

whaat nobody told me that part

[vernal fiber]

I know its quite the surprise

[unreal horizon]

your aim will not carry you. learn to listen carefully and outsmart your enemies

[dire matrix]

aim isnt as important as map knowledge and positioning

[vernal fiber]

thats where you're wrong 🙂

most important aspect in this game is gear, with the wrong gear vs good gear you have no chance whatsoever bar absolute luck

[lusty glacier]

i have an idea of the layout of most maps but i struggle with awareness

[vernal fiber]

then, map knowledge and being least fucked over by desync and bugs

[dire matrix]

if you hear someone take a footstep on a certian material and know exactly where they are you have a massively higher chance of killing them

[lusty glacier]

most people i see are there due to surprise

[dire matrix]

make sure you always wear an active listening headset when you pmc

[unreal horizon]

map knowledge/scav spawns are important. also learn about what ammos are best

[vernal fiber]

ammo is everything

[dire matrix]

if you dont have headphones on its really hard to hear people

[vernal fiber]

with bad ammo and a good gun you can do nothing against good gear

[unreal horizon]

ammo > gun

[lusty glacier]

ive been playing for about a month now

[vernal fiber]

well only sometimes

I'd still rather have an m4 with m856a1 than a mosin with lps

[dire matrix]

if you haven't done it already get the battle buddy app. it has the stats of every ammo and armor in the game

[unreal horizon]

can i post links in here?

[lusty glacier]

once im in a fight and im not dead before i realise it, i find that i win a lot of duels

[vernal fiber]

also check out the ammo chart by no food after midnight, its all collated and pretty easy to use

[dire matrix]

the penetration and damage values are not shown on bullets in game

[lusty glacier]

i play like i would in a csgo 1v1 from memory

[bold kernel]

why is my fucking gun on single fire

[vernal fiber]

you have to play like there are multiple, second you kill a guy dont loot, clear and be ready for 3rd parties

[unreal horizon]

theres always 1 more

[vernal fiber]

(if youre solo)

[lusty glacier]

i killed some guy with a slick in dorms so im quite the chad slayer if i do say so myself

[vernal fiber]

^

[vernal fiber]

people get way too overconfident with good armour

but gj

[somber barn]

third party? you mean the fifth party of scavs that heard pmc gunfire and want the scraps

[vernal fiber]

you mean the 17th party of ai scavs after them cheeki breeki cheeks

[lusty glacier]

this guy thinks his RMed ricochet face shield will help him? pshhh

[dire matrix]

29th party when the gaggle of player scavs that run at every gunshot show up

[vernal fiber]

no I mean the 7931831th party of reshulu's and killa's being deployed to prevent scavs from being clapped too hard

[lusty glacier]

is this updated from the wiki?

[vernal fiber]

the wiki takes the values from the ammo chart iirc

idk who was the first

[lusty glacier]

some video said the wiki datamines the stuff

[vernal fiber]

multiple people do

not sure who's fastest tho

[dire matrix]

yeah, its always up to date

[lusty glacier]

doesnt it sort it the same way it does on the wiki?

[vernal fiber]

not rly

some stuff takes forever to be updated

[lusty glacier]

or do i have to click into it first to see which is better

[dire matrix]

when new ammo is added it takes a while yeah

[vernal fiber]

there was some false information about ruaf which was up for ages

and the new gunsmith builds took a while

[dire matrix]

i was talkin about battle buddy

[vernal fiber]

fair

[lusty glacier]

what u guys prefer akm or ak74?

[vernal fiber]

but if its from the wiki

that thus makes it reliant on the wiki being indate

so see above messages ^

[dire matrix]

the ammo and pen on the wiki are accurate i find

the wiki guys pull stats from the games api

[vernal fiber]

not sure how fast they had the new stats tho

[dire matrix]

it takes a while for new stuff yeah

like 300 blk and such

[jolly lily]

Do I leave binaural sound on or off?

[dire matrix]

off, its busted right now

[lusty glacier]

what happens if its on?

[jolly lily]

I bought the game 3 weeks ago and I have had it on the whole time lol

[dire matrix]

im pretty sure its supposed to be disabled but people were getting ghost footsteps and other sound

[jolly lily]

It was auto on for me I just checked sounds for first time

[dire matrix]

huh

they did take it out of the game last wipe to try to fulli impliment steam audio, but it broke

when they put it back in it was even more busted lol

[lusty glacier]

ive had it on the whole time too

[jolly lily]

I never knew that was something I had to turn off

[lusty glacier]

i havent noticed anything particularly weird

other than occasional things i thought i heard that i didnt

but idk how it could be bugged like that

[quasi harbor]

Does anyone have Oli Log key that can open the room for me to get my task done :3

[dire matrix]

when they turned it back on i went into a raid and immediately heard like 20 sets of footsteps, i haven't turned it back on yet

[lusty glacier]

what

[quartz agate]

is there somebody who knows woods and can guide me to jagers letter?

[unreal horizon]

its at the base of a tree stand thingy

the nose of the crashed plane points at it

[quartz agate]

ye i know that

but i cant get to the plane

the map is too big and when i spawn in all i see is trees how am i supossed to know where i am on the map xd

[lusty glacier]

Ok lets see

If you walk into a landmine, you're west

[tropic hinge]

what are the chances of walking on a landmine

[lusty glacier]

If you see giant mountain, you're near the center or east

[unreal horizon]

you can get your bearings with the massive rock if you run to the middle

[lusty glacier]

If you see lots of lakes, you are north

If you see river you are north or northeast

[quartz agate]

where is jagers letter on the map?

northeast right?

[lusty glacier]

Where it says Jaeger in yellow

[quartz agate]

where the fuck is it

oh okay

thanks

[unreal horizon]

if you see a huge peaking mountain way off in the distance, thats north

[quartz agate]

lemme try and waste another 30 minutes

brb

[unborn maple]

Only way to learn*

[lusty glacier]

Is that the little box at the top of that map? Skybox?

[unreal horizon]

this is north

lake opens to the south

[lusty glacier]

Where is that?

[unreal horizon]

from the shore near ruaf roadblock

looking north

[lusty glacier]

Ah I figured

So that's the big sniper hill then?

[unreal horizon]

no that big one is way off the map, but its a good point of referance

sniper rock is kinda behind the treeline right of lumber, that area

[coral kiln]

man i hate woods, still have not got my jaeger either, when i finally get close to the damn plan i get kill by pmcs

[lusty glacier]

So what is that hill

Is it a real hill or skybox

[unreal horizon]

skybox you cant get there

[lusty glacier]

Look at the top of my map picture

There's 2 little photos of hills

I assume those are what you are talking about?

[unreal horizon]

exactly

easy way to find north if you dont have a compass or know the map that well

[lusty glacier]

Oh that's cool

I still use the sun lol

Even tho I have a compass I never remember

[unreal horizon]

dude

in all my time

i havent though to use that

[bold kernel]

again same thing

i go out geared to the teeth

but i dont see any pmcs

[lusty glacier]

Tbf idk if the sun actually works in tarkov, I've gotten a bit messed up because the maps are the wrong way around sometimes

But I would imagine it's a feature with all the detail already included

[unreal horizon]

my mind is actually blown lmfao

[lusty glacier]

Srsly

[unreal horizon]

i am in awe that i've never though of that, i always just use landmarks

[lusty glacier]

This is how I tell the time when I'm out and about u know

[unreal horizon]

i think most popular maps are oriented properly

[lusty glacier]

Like customs?

Ah and factory, very hard to use the sun there can confirm

[unreal horizon]

i can 100% confirm reserve, woods, and shoreline. can also confirm most customs maps are upside down

in reality big red side is east and zb1011 is west

[tardy verge]

just helped a new player with his first raids, they went well, feels good

[unreal horizon]

good work man

[tardy verge]

i've also simultaneously discovered the mighty power of the adar

just a semi auto m4a1 lmao

[lusty glacier]

i went into matchmaking and invited a random new player from the lobby a few days ago

[wise crystal]

can someone help me do the survialist path thrifty i cant find my way around woods i get lost all the time

[lusty glacier]

I showed them stashes and we killed scavs together

Matchmaking very fun, can recommend

Once we had to extract, it was very sad tho

I never see them again

[unreal horizon]

i usually play solo, kinda convenient to just KOS and not have to worry about team members

[quartz agate]

is that the giant lake

at the bottom?

[tardy verge]

yeah, woods only has one massive lake, the other bodies of water are more like ponds

[lusty glacier]

There's landmines on one side of the lake according to map

[unreal horizon]

ya ur along the west shore of the lake

[tardy verge]

the last screenshot you sent

you can the silhouette of factory

thats an edge of the map

[unreal horizon]

you'd know if you're on a small lake, and river isnt rocky

[lusty glacier]

West side of lake has landmines right?

[unreal horizon]

only at the very bottom

red being mines

[lusty glacier]

Ok dont die bro

[tardy verge]

this is woods with expansion

[lusty glacier]

This map funky

Landmines editted out or what

[tardy verge]

woods map in-game is kinda fucked cuz it shows the lake on the top not the bottom

[unreal horizon]

ingame maps are wiggity wack

dont recommend

[tardy verge]

i use the pic i sent for when im in the new part of the map

when i need details of the prexisting part i use mapgenie

ive kinda figured it out by now

[quartz agate]

fuck i died

[lusty glacier]

What about my one

[unreal horizon]

this is my go to

[tardy verge]

thats pretty good

[lusty glacier]

A

Oh

[tardy verge]

i think i used that map one time

saved me from camp landmines

[unreal horizon]

if you're still learning this is a good map with scav spawns

[tardy verge]

btw

[lusty glacier]

Why your have orange circles?

[tardy verge]

i casually stepped on a landmine and lived with minimal injuries

[unreal horizon]

scav spawns

[tardy verge]

like 30 dmg to stomach 40 dmg to leg and like 10 dmg to armor and no other dmg

[unreal horizon]

cha cha real smooth

[tardy verge]

it scared the absolute shit out of me

[lusty glacier]

I thought landmines are insta death at first

[tardy verge]

concussed me too so maybe my helmet saved my ass

[unreal horizon]

i dont think i've hit one yet

[tardy verge]

nah i think its the same as grenades with random fragmentation

[lusty glacier]

I was playing with a friend and spawned near the prapor quest camp

[tardy verge]

and if rng bestows its graces on you

[lusty glacier]

I kept warning him that there was land mines and he said "nah I don't think so"

[unreal horizon]

tragic

[lusty glacier]

I proceeded to walk into 5 landmines

He got out alive

I died while healing.. I still don't know how

[strong barn]

heavy bleed probably

can keep healing and itll look like your fixing it but if ur 1 point off on your medkit it wont

then u daed face

[lusty glacier]

I think I fixed everything tho

[strong barn]

if you died; you did not

[lusty glacier]

Had some blacked out parts already

[unreal horizon]

health numbers can be weird sometimes. it might say 0 but you can heal because its like .4

[strong barn]

Gotta accept that you didnt heal something because you dont die for no reason unless you ran out of food or your bleeding

[lusty glacier]

I guess

Once I thought I was fine and healed I just dropped dead lol

[unreal horizon]

huh

[strong barn]

if your stomach is blacked for any amount of time you loose food fast 🤷

[unreal horizon]

maybe fresh wound and you didnt notice untill too late?

[lusty glacier]

Possibly

You don't die to light bleeding tho right?

[dire matrix]

if your head or thorax were blacked any damage to them instantly kills you

[strong barn]

You do

[lusty glacier]

If everything else is already blacked?

[knotty topaz]

what is the best map/place to get gpowder?

[lusty glacier]

Like can't you bleed out every bit of health points until the last point?

[dire matrix]

if you bleed to 0 health you die

[unreal horizon]

you can get them just about anywhere. sport bags, caches, dead scavs, (i think wood crates?)

[lusty glacier]

I'm sure I couldn't sprint after running into 5 land mines tho

Anyway it was a while ago so I might not remember correctly some part

[unreal horizon]

painkillers cant fix that!

[knotty topaz]

thank you 🙂

[unreal horizon]

basically just loot a lot of stuff and you'll probably come across it

i find them pretty regularly without doing anything out of the ordinary

[lethal osprey]

can anyone help me find an extraction point in Custom

[unreal horizon]

what are your options?

[lethal osprey]

idk lmao, how do i check

[unreal horizon]

doubles tap "O"

[lethal osprey]

scavs checkpoint, passage between rocks

[unreal horizon]

ah 1 sec, ill get it for u

[lethal osprey]

tysm, im looking at a map but im still so confused as to where i am

[unreal horizon]

an easy one to keep track of will just be to go down the main road

to the very end

[lethal osprey]

the right side?

[unreal horizon]

ya

anything around you stand out? big red building, big towers, train track

[lethal osprey]

aight, first i have to see if i can find the main road

uhm

[unreal horizon]

or if you see a river

[lethal osprey]

im near what looks like a rlly big red warehouse

[unreal horizon]

ok perfect

you're on the left side of the river

the biggest building on the left side of the river is that warehouse

[lethal osprey]

i think im on the main road but im unsure

[unreal horizon]

if you go from big red to the trainn, you're heading on the right direction

the outcrop of the warehouse points the way you wan to go

[lethal osprey]

oh

i think i went the wrong way

[unreal horizon]

head that way until you reach the river. once you are there, the big bridge with cars/buses is the main nroad

[lethal osprey]

yeah bro im stupid sorry 😭

[unreal horizon]

np dude you'll get used to the map, there are a few landmarks that will easily get you around

[lethal osprey]

if i dont extract i lose everything right

[unreal horizon]

Yeah, ur on a scav though so it's not a big deal

[lethal osprey]

i had quest items 😦

[bold kernel]

i got killed by a nade in the staircase while im in third floor ?

on dorms

wtf

[unreal horizon]

Tf

[hoary portal]

hello

I have made it to level 8

what is purpose in game, how do i play without dying fast?

[open axle]

whats the meaning of life?

why are we here?

[bold kernel]

to farm tetriz gpus bee stocks / hives

[strong barn]

To invest in game stonk

[hoary portal]

yes, invest more into doge and gme

[strong barn]

where is doge coin min3r in tarkov wtf

[bold kernel]

i had like 4k dodge coin

[hoary portal]

idk, busy looking for items to build in hideout

[bold kernel]

doge*

but it wasnt worth shit

[knotty topaz]

same 😔

[viscid helm]

hey does anyone know how i can take an empty fuel tank out of my generator ??

[crude orbit]

ay what gun is this

[viscid helm]

vss

[civic nymph]

how new is a beginner considered? I'm a level 29 with like 200 hours, so i'm not completely new but I'm feeling hard stuck

Most of it is all solo, and self taught, but i seem to get ran over by every PMC that is grouped up, and can't quest much further alone.

[bold kernel]

confidence did it for me

im winning most of my fights now

keeping my brain cool and think

[buoyant shale]

if you lose ur head do you automatically die? even if ur thorax is full?

like my head blead out

[bold kernel]

no

i dont think so

[buoyant shale]

idk how i died then my head was blacked out and my stomach was blacked out

thorax was full tho

[bold kernel]

u die after a while pretty sure

it really does depend

try looking up the wiki

[buoyant shale]

kk

[bold kernel]

i learned thoarx and head 0 = death

but i had my head blacked once too

maybe painkillers

idk

[robust light]

if your head or thorax reach 0 from bleeding you live

now your practically guarenteed ton die from anything after

but technically, you are alive

[strong barn]

if your head is blacked out and you take any kind of damage you insta die
like running on a broken leg or something

[robust light]

if the damage spreads i belive right? as in your head could be zerod and a guy shoots you once in the thorax and as long as it doesnt fragment youll survive

[crude orbit]

my most loaded scav i've ever had

[bold kernel]

you could run no helmet and u would tank just as many shots

im slowly getting my keys together to make even easier bank on reserve

[buoyant shale]

idk how i took any damage tho I was standing still and surv12 my body and healing my other parts

maybe i take damage when my stomach is zero

idk

[bold kernel]

dehydration starving ?

[buoyant shale]

could be i didnt check

[bold kernel]

probably

that

[robust light]

probally

[strong barn]

Yep; each tick from food/dehydration can tick away at your black head/thorax
if it does you die

[buoyant shale]

or maybe that when i use surv12 it gets my leg to 1 hp and that counts as damaged leg idk

i couldnt check what killed me cuz i was a scav

feelsbadman

[bold kernel]

damn i forgot

i still have a full kit in my stash

might have to lose that one real quick even tho i didnt sleep

[torpid ridge]

LOOKING FOR HARD CARRY

[empty oracle]

Is it good to buy the lucky scav junkbox from Therapist for the rep?'

[bold kernel]

thats not how it works

you dont gain rep by buying shit

[charred cloud]

you get rep by doing quests for them

[bold kernel]

^

[charred cloud]

but a lucky scav junkbox is nice for inventory management

[empty oracle]

Geezus

Money spent

[bold kernel]

oh

no just buy one off the flea

[empty oracle]

k

[bold kernel]

sell your barters to the rapist

[empty oracle]

tx

k

thats what I thought too

[bold kernel]

therapist should be easy af cuz you just sell your barters

[empty oracle]

yeah

[bold kernel]

ive never had a problem with her

[brittle hill]

how do i get past lvl 2

ive examined everything but i always die

[charred cloud]

yeah if you have barter goods you dont need sell them to her she gives the best prices for them

[bold kernel]

what

[jaunty geode]

will anyone play w me and help. im level 5 and have nothing

[charred cloud]

funfact examining gets you to level 3 in about an hour at fence

[bold kernel]

no

reset your account and try again

[jaunty geode]

how do i do that

[charred cloud]

your level grows by playing your pmc

scavs have level too, but its cosmetic for now

[robust light]

you dont need to reset your account, you can get some gear plenty quicker than getting 5 again

[bold kernel]

getting level 5 takes like an hours max lol

if he literally has nothing

[jaunty geode]

how do i reset account

[bold kernel]

and hes completely new

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/328

@jaunty geode

try again

[jaunty geode]

thank you

[robust light]

can get an AVS rig an m4 quicker than an hour though lol

[bold kernel]

u can get a whole high end kit if u run reserve tech room

and youre a bit lucky and sneaky

i found 2 gpu like 3 runs ago

[jaunty geode]

i habe literally nothing tho, no gun, no armor, no backpack, not even a knife

[bold kernel]

how much do gpus go for to vendors

[robust light]

do a scav run and immediattly run tp evasc

[bold kernel]

just reset your account my friend its alot easier

play safer next time

the loot u get from resetting is nothing

[robust light]

i agree

[bold kernel]

i literally got like 4 mil in 4 runs

if u do it right

and youre a bit lucky

and thats also why i invest into keys

[robust light]

you could hatchet run factory twice, put a scope or two in your alpha container and buy an sks and ammo ez

[bold kernel]

RB-AO is so fucking nice

RB-AO RB-ST and marked rooms on reserve

free loot guns even decked out guns

im going to say this one more time

this player doesnt know what the fuck hes doing

so hes never going to recover from this

so he might as well reset his account

learn it the hard way then

if he loses all his gear do you really think hes going to have any chance trying to hatchet run and scav

[jaunty geode]

idk where any extractions are

[robust light]

when i was brand spanking new with no help, no youtube vids, ect i managed to recover

[bold kernel]

not everyone is the same

[robust light]

did you reset yet jinx?

[jaunty geode]

no not yet

[bold kernel]

when i was new i just hatchet ran until i was level 10, but that was 3 wipes ago before fir

[robust light]

ill do a raid or two with you if you want

[jaunty geode]

just died in sutoms again trying to find extraction point

[bold kernel]

mans has no gear lol

how u going to go raid with him

[robust light]

ill bring him a gun, idc

[bold kernel]

damn ig ur rich

[robust light]

dont think you need to be rich to bring someone an sks or something lol

[bold kernel]

oh thats what you meant

[robust light]

im scared to bring in too much for people since the RMT flagging thing is so vauge

[bold kernel]

lol

the rmt dont do shit dw

bringing him a sks wont do shit

[robust light]

now i doubt it would be flagged for brining in someone a kit but im not trying to find out lol

[bold kernel]

i gave my friend 3 bit coin, all my interchange keys and a 800k kit last wipe

dw about it

i would literally bring my friends kits and money cuz they were dogwater

same thing for an rr

can i somehow turn of the loading ambient noise

its pissing me off

kek

off

[robust light]

your probally right, i gave two friends red rebels two wipes ago but i heard they really cracked down end of last wipe apprently

[robust light]

or was that last wipe?

either way im worried since its "random" people it might flag me you know?

[bold kernel]

i wouldnt worry if i were u

rmt'ers are hackers

so if you seldom get reported for cheating then i dont think you would get banned

after all 1 million roubles for 1$ isnt worth if ur not hacking

do prices change alot till late wipe ?

yes

we are in late wipe now tho so it dont matter anymore

so prices wont change alot anymore ?

do you want a list of item prices that WILL change a lot?

im good man

who hurt u

what

im trying to help you

...

im joking lmao

bc it sounded a bit passive aggressive

ok

im just trying to make a living rn

but im being a bit unlucky

im really confused

cant seem to get that tank battery spawn

do you want the list of items or not

nono i dont

its fine

k

i was just wondering

thanks tho

o

k

do tank batteries still spawn in RB-ST

[ember pendant]

Yes

[bold kernel]

yes

[brittle hill]

how do you play with others

[bold kernel]

invite them to groiup

[ember pendant]

#pvp-lfg + Go to lobby like the screenshot below. If you are inviting right click their name and send them an invite. If you are the one getting invited make sure you have the box below your name marked as start looking for group.

[bold kernel]

i just put 7 s190 bullets into a scav

[ember pendant]

Thats like 340 - 350 damage.

Assuming you hit their arms and legs and not the chest / head that's plausible.

[sand wolf]

what ammo for 12g am i better off using to kill him? fleschettes to the legs or ap-20 to the thorax? or something else?

[bold kernel]

ap-20 to the head

[sand wolf]

i headshot him like 4 times earlier and i just did a blatant back of the head shot before he turned around and he didnt fookin die

[bold kernel]

leg him then

magnum buck flechettes

[rustic estuary]

12G, AP-20 (slug), Magnum (buckshot)

[bold kernel]

unless he has no visor

then just bash his eyes

[sand wolf]

doesn't he always wear visor?

[bold kernel]

who are we talking

[sand wolf]

killa

[bold kernel]

yes

[sand wolf]

i thought fleschettes were better than magnum buck

[bold kernel]

i wouldnt recommend shotguns agasint killa tho

ngl

[rustic estuary]

Buckshot if you're leg-meta, chettes will tear through armor

[sand wolf]

well i cant get m61 cause need higher sniper skill

for wetjob

[bold kernel]

7mm is pretty good too

Can anyone help me get gun powder?

[rose ingot]

why isnt the old gas station extract not working

[bold kernel]

cuz it's not working

[rose ingot]

but like

whai

[plush quest]

what are some good cheap reserve keys?

i have both marked keys

and rb-orb1

[plush quest]

was there green smoke outside?

[rose ingot]

uh no

i hauled ass over to zb 1012

and this shit isnt working either

[plush quest]

if theres no green smoke infront of gas it isnt open

zb12 has a light ontop of the door

if its not on its closed

[ember torrent]

my arms blacked out what are the effeects

[rose ingot]

i mean zb 1011

[plush quest]

arms shake

[ember torrent]

ok bet ty

[shy coral]

and bleeding out (can slowly kill you)

[plush quest]

no

only if you are bleeding

if they are just blacked out it wont kill him

[shy coral]

welp its not called bleeding out

[ember torrent]

those are the only things blacked out for me

[plush quest]

blacked out arms dont make you take damage

[shy coral]

what? the other day i got killed by a blacked out hand or feet

i think its feet

[plush quest]

you were bleeding

[shy coral]

that kills you right?

no i bandaged it

[plush quest]

were you running on painkillers?

[shy coral]

no

im a scav so no painkillers

[plush quest]

ok then it was something else that killed you

[shy coral]

no

[plush quest]

were you sprinting

[shy coral]

yep

[plush quest]

cause

[shy coral]

the sprint part

[bold kernel]

starvation dehydration

[plush quest]

sprinting on a blacked out leg

[shy coral]

oh ok

[plush quest]

makes you take damage

[shy coral]

ohh i see

[plush quest]

but you were on painkillers then

[shy coral]

thats why im ded

nah im new

[plush quest]

cause you cant run with a blacked leg unless on painkillers

[shy coral]

ok thx

damn running scav is ez

[bold kernel]

running reserve is even easier

[plush quest]

yup

free money

especially on reserve

[shy coral]

free money low risk

[bold kernel]

now put both together

[plush quest]

got an aesa on a reserve scav raid

1.5m

[bold kernel]

i found a rsass and aesa + 2 gpus

today

[shy coral]

oh damn

[bold kernel]

fat stonks

[rose ingot]

alright holy shit i had to haul even more ass over to zb 10-12 and ran into a pmc but luckily i killed him

after running aroujnd customs like a fish out of water, i finally extracted

which was the most satisfying shit ever for me
