Just kill a couple scavs and then extract
I always run to manhole on scav always kept my shit
its hard to get run through on scav but possible
I am not sure, I spawned in at 12:30 and extracted at 9:50 and I got survived, not run through
you either need time in raid or xp to avoid run through status
You need at least 600xp to not be run through
yea 9:50 is 10:10 so thats good
did they change it from 1000?
That’s what my friend told me
i think 10 is still the same
Oh ok
i wouldnt trust it
sometimes servers bug and it counts 7 mins as survived
chances are that wasnt a normal thing
Better off to just kill some scavs
i spent so long doing headshots with shotguns on scavs
finally finished it im so happy
Noice
It's 7 minutes now
hmm, i guess im just a dirty m9a3 whore at this point
Filthy
pretty sure servers are fucked up
what's this bs matching for nearly 10 minutes every map
as if random loading between each menu option and waiting for players wasn't enough to pad my playtime twicefold
Is there anyone who can help out a fresh player. I just started playing this game, used to play Rust. but this game is lil bit different I guess. I would apperciate
@upbeat kettle as PMC or as SCAV?
pmc
no trouble for me U.S. are you NA or EU?
man i've been playing at these hours past 3 weeks on customs never even seen "matching" more than a minute before
overall I am very impressed for a beta game, how reliable my experience has been the last week.
I am glad I bought EFT
it's clearly a beta scam, this game is not in beta what so ever
Negativity is overrated
anyone want to play im still a little new but im trying to get some quests done and would appreciate the help
It's not negativity it's what it is, they are intentionally keeping it in beta to sell their editions make money since people buy it also have excuse for every bs bug in game for years on going just by calling it beta
im down dead deal you tryNa do a customs run?
daily bitch fest happening?
Anyone’s next scav have a cowboy hat by chance?
I love this game. Such a good game.
I haven't been playing too long but I get the feeling that tarkov exploded in popularity faster than the devs expected, which might explain the extended beta
they don't wanna get cyberpunk'd
I just quit Rust lol...
never played rust but holy crap tarkov owns and is great
really impressed by this game
yep. Tons to do. very immersive.
Its got its flaws, but is still great on the whole
oh yeah I only started playing last week so I'm sure the "new penny shine" will wear off soon
a$$wipe just sniped me 3 minutes in.... gotta love it.
but I've played alot of games and tarkov is def something special
lol nice love when that happens
he earned that one.. I was running at an angle too
can't even be mad
Can someone explain this to me why do so many people use tri zips
They seem pretty much useless so why do I see them often
Pilgrim is cheaper and larger
Ah so it’s because of the size
i mean pilgrim can give you away where someone might not normally see you, but its a huge backpack and yeah very cheap
i just personally dont like the risk of bieng seen where i wouldnt normally
anyone wanna carry me in shoreline
there is an LFG channel
im a beginner
im not saying you cant be here, just saying you have more chance of finding a group in the LFG channel, and a lot of people are fine playing with newer players over there too
i would offer to help but shoreline is not my map
Is the case wipe glitch still happening?
??
I was wondering if the glitch has been fixed
Yesterday I saw hundreds of people saying their sicc/docs cases got wiped
When brought into raid
😮
oh damn, i havnt had that
Yeah that’s why I’m asking I don’t want to experience it
But I haven’t seen anything about it since yesterday so I think I’m fine
Idk man, might need to check reddit
anyway im going into raid, if anyone needs anything just @ me
@celest sage havent heard of that happening but i dont look at reddit
Just type in docs or sicc into the search
is there an LFG text channel or just the voice chats? am I blind ?
nvm
found it lmao
Customs seems devoid of any good loot now that marked room was nerfed into the ground. What map is a little better but doenst attract phat geared teams
Get some shoreline keys @obsidian harbor
I got a few but so far I keep running into 3 and up squads. I just cant compete with that
Anywhere where there’s good loot you’re going to find geared boys. Try out nighttime
I mean like why would there be good loot and no one there
If there was somewhere like that everyone would just start going there
I'm not asking for Ledx's, just something thats sustainable.
Shoreline stash runs/downtown @obsidian harbor
There’s a ton of stashes, and you make decent profit off of them
Downtown has about 22 jackets. Might get lucky with a key or two
All are the same, but there’s more stashes on shoreline than customs, and you’re more likely to have a peaceful raid on shoreline
As all the chads go resort
While you’re on the outskirts
I'll do that then, thats for the advice
What does that mean?
I’m not sure
But if you unlock the library / air filter system in hideout you level soft skills insanely fast
What do you gotta upgrade to be able to build Library
living space level 3
anybody can help me out ont he map woods? im constantly lost
what do you need to do on woods
What are good keys to make money from?
Other than shoreline since I have never played it
@manic horizon u know the map well? i need to find yaegers camp and find prapors missing convoy
yes i know the map very well, but i can only play on eu servers if thats okay
KIBA / Ultra Med / 11SR / 21WS / Dorms Marked Room easily makes its money back 10 fold too
Thanks
Ill also look into reserve and maybe how to farm raiders
I tried labs today for the 1st time. Head jaws by lapua
yeah thats a good way to make some money
i'd do loads of offline raids first and really learn the map
Yeah Ill do that. Went with some friends but we didnt have much raider luck
are you putting them on the flea, because if you are trying to trade its bannable from this server i believe so just keep that in mind
you need to spawn them in with buttons around the map for more
it is? i diddent know that so yh lets just say its on the flea O-O
Yeah, they have been playing for a bit. I just followed
are your's found in raid
nah
just keep them
they are worth loads once you have your farm
or dm someone about trading but for your own sake dont post about it
ahh that can also be a good way to learn tho
if you have helpful friends
Tbh had bad luck today, died in all raids except 2 where i lost connection
that sucks man, it happens some days
So im gonna cool down and try tmr. Thanks for your help Nathan
no worries, if you want me to show you how profitable those keys on interchange are sometime hmu im happy to show you
Ok cool, ive run kiba 3 times so far, too poor for ultra tho
that's fair, those keycards i said are great for money tho if you know when to use them
Ill look into them
Im fairly active here so if your online and u wanna play just msg. I think ill be on tmr morning for a bit but idk if u will be.
ill probably be around in the afternoon tmrw
hey yall anyone wanna help me out on eft
what do you need help with
I’d argue that ultra med doesn’t make back it’s money unless you play an ton of interchange
Most other keys you easily make back all of the money in one run
Alright, well thanks again. Imma head off now so gn
ultra med has made me over 20 million this wipe soo..
not getting my brains blown out lol, navigation is a big one, i think im getting the skills part down, the other thing is figuring out what setups work well
So that’s like a 7m profit across this wipe?
are you wanting someone to raid with you, or just talk to you about tarkov for a bit
Im assuming you got it near early wipe
no i got the key for 800k
either is good
Wtf how
second day
Well no shit that’s my argument is it’s not worth the 10m
ive been playing a bit today, just wanna get a little more productive
i knew i'd make my money back from 1 ledx so
dm me
Yeah but for everyone else it’s like 8-10m
true, but i'd still say its worth if you play mainly interchange
but if you dont play loads fair
i see the argument
I thought I’d try going to kiba for the first time on a hatchling quest run because why not and I found a thermal
But got camped so
F
Could anyone take me through customs and then factory for delivery from past task from prapor?
Just go into a LFG customs room and 4 more people will show up in seconds.
"camped"
Can I grab this item? Why do I get a loot notifier here?
Looking for a mentor to teach me more about the game. ( LVL 2 Ultranoob ) I only went in to customs
There's an item somewhere near your crosshair that can be picked up.
@lunar sage its in the fridge, cant get it
So much to learn. Make sure to check out Pestily vids. This should get you set straight in about 17 mins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp8qy44kQQM&ab_channel=Pestily
Put together a big list of 100 tips, I have lots more I could of added to this but I wanted to give a good variety of tips and may do more refined ones in the future. A lot of these I could do a whole video on so if you see ones you would love to know more about let me know and I'll put it on my to do list for guides.
--------------------------...
?
if anyone needs some help on reserve, with just learning the map, i have space in my 2-3 man crew for beginners, no skill reqs, hit me up in dms, have almost every key!
anyone else in NA having ping issues? I keep dropping from games in often-hilarious ways
I'm in
Could anyone take me through customs and then factory for delivery from past task from prapor?
finished test drive pt 1 without buying extra reaper lets go
pls holp
looking for a guide to jaegers camp
my stash is completely full i cant go on a run without taking out a backpack full of stripped guns and packs of gun parts
idk what to sell
use the wiki and see what to sell
check if you need it for a quest or not
and try to see what you are closest to having the items to level up so it takes out more of the other items
i really only pvp so ive got lots of kits n shit
so no quests rip
nvm i have like 12 keys lol
im lvl 10 and i havent looked up anything about the game yet
except extracts and what to use for heals
this shits spooky
i hear the tarkov death noise in my sleep
Where do i find a gas analyzer
factory
Okie
in the shelves
Anyone wanna group to either help ya boi with quests or just learning new maps?
Level 14. I swear i'm not that ass.
EU btw
im really bad at game and some help would be much appreciated
All I got for you right now. Is check out offline first to test out guns and learn maps lol
Learn customs. Look up a map and either put it on a 2nd monitor or your phone
Anybody wanna group on customs as pmc? i know my way around the map but i can't go in without getting shot within the first minute
is there a level cap for the sherpa program?
I wanna learn shoreline and customs in raids instead of offline
Looking for someone to play with, got the game recently and dont really know what im doing lol
I spawned in as a scav with RB-MP21 key and bumped into 2 pmc's killed one and died... I lost 600k
im so mad
😦
@buoyant shale was it on Reserve?
or do everything spawns on scavs regardless of the map
or things like keys spawn on scavs depending on what map
xd
@proud trench is this your first wipe ?
@fading trout no
no i was on interchange i think everything spawns on reserve regardless
can i make the flash drive for skier task "whats on the flash drive"?
cuz i swear i cant find any
i can make them but im not sure he would take them because it says find them in raid
look in filing cabinets on customs or reserve; flash drives spawn in filing cabinets now
and are very common
i already have intel lvl 2
why has intel like rocked up in price by 100k?
people know you need it so they overprice the fuck out of intel
where can i find salewa kits
crack house on customs or med building or reserve if u got keys
you can also craft them with medstation
needs 2 be level 2 ^
im looking for players to do factory runs lvl 1-5
IM WITH A FRIEND, we are both around levl 7 , trying to have fun and learn the game hmu
I keep getting disconnected from the game, my internets fine. Im gonna lose all my shit, wtf
"Game aborted. Try reconnect"
Does this mean the whole match is canceled? Will I still lose everything??
just keep trying to reconnect. i got it too just now, i got back in just fine after like 10 mins of reconnecting
6th time trying, fairly certain im dead because I'm right in an open area. 100$ game, really shows its worth the money 
It’s a beta
it's an alpha
It’s not even a game
no, it's an alpha
Nearly 4 years
understand that this game received barely any support until just last year
Its been popular for a hot minute, wym
they built a flawed game because they lacked the resources and they are trying their best not to fix all of the issues
To*
5
Even worse
You know what you got yourself into, there has always been constant complaining about the servers
Why dont they let people get refunds if its a beta?
The Closed Alpha started in August of 2016
theyre just on break rn, theyll be back lol
I’m assuming you joined sometime late last year, you have no idea how bad this game was before in terms of server
because BSG has an asinine (and probably illegal) refund policy
I used to disconnect every other raid back in the day
Just because servers were garbage then doesn't excuse the poor state of them now
They’re a lot better now, ask any player who’s played this game for more than a year
Is it still trash? Yes it is
A polished pile of shit is still a pile of shit
My point is, is that the servers are fucking trash
Ok
Just because they were "worse before" does not excuse the fact that they're still garbage.
no one said that
You seem to think it's a valid excuse though.
I didn’t say that lol
Not every conversation on the internet is about winning or measuring who’s dick is bigger
🤔
change ur servers? i have mb disconected 8 times in 1500 hours of playing
whats an offline raid and hows it work
There is that too
an offline raid is a raid where there are no other PMCs, and you can choose whether there's AI or not. You do not gain any quest progression, and any loot you get in raid will not be brought back. You do not lose anything if you die.
You extract with everything you get in an offline raid, thats how streamers are so rich
spreading disinfo
Most streamers do their tasks in offline raids and make their money there
how do i go into an offline one
When you’re pressing next into a raid you can see an option to enable offline raid. Do that, turn scavs off and loot to your hearts content
you do not gain any loot from offline
yea you do stop spreading misinformation
is there anyway to put the secure docs for prapor into my alpha?
go be a troll somewhere else
nope
if u die in an offline raid u lose everything, if you extract you get the stuff
wait what no lmao
he's trolling
yes you do, look it up
yea i just wanna practice my aim
@fathom epoch ignore this idiot u dont get anything or lose anything
So I'm lvl. 24. This is my second wipe, but the first time playing it from the start. I've been hemorrhaging money into the hideout and only need to get the required components for the bitcoin farm. Sadly this left me with little funds. Some failed raids and shit money decisions later, I have 150K rubles left. Luckily I have an aytn and exfil (both with face sheild), some class 5 armor, and a couple of guns, rigs, and headsets. Do I just scav to riches, or say fuck it and go for pmv loot runs?
go into any streamers chats ask them why they’re so rich and they will say off line raid
you should quit the game because it’s really addicting and unhealthy for you
can we not get a mod to ban this dude
can a mod ban me from life
no shut up i already lost enough braincells
I'd do some scav runs to build up a little bit of capital, and then do some low-gear PMC runs to make some money
im logging out fr
if i shoot at the scavs do i lose that ammo
no
or does nothing change
impose your will on all the shitters and show them who’s boss
nothing changes
i usually yolo it till im at around 20k (cause im ass) then naked run money grab it lol
K, thanks. I've been doing a few scav runs with some success an that's kinda just how I make bank usually lol. I just send all the rubles to hideout for the botcoinf farm
botcoin
Bitcoin farm isn’t even that good, idk why y’all make yourself broke for it
nerd do u already have gfx cards for it?
I have one lol
rip
you can get a shit ton of money back from the btc farm just takes time
1 GPU is 1 BTC every 24 hours. One metal fuel can is 140k or so. That's almost 300-400k profit.
u can make that much in an average scav run
just go night raid any map, loot some shit and get out
yeah you can find more gpu's as you go and make more profit
once you make all the money youve spent on the hideout back it really starts paying off
is there a gpu spawn in customs?
go ic
Yes
there is not a gfx spawn @torn matrix
Yeah that was my plan. I was at like 500k-800k previously, for a bit, but I just fucked up recently. Thanks for the advice tho
@torn matrix go ic or reserve for gfx, none on customs
There r literally 3 gpu spawns on customs lol
how do you guys not know this
I’m not even trolling rn
good rule btw ignore anything this guy says lol
go look it up on the wiki
real shame that I find a Tetris or gpu every other raid on customs cuz you idiots don’t check it
Yeh high chance for one in the building with green screen
And big red and dorms3 story couch
see what i mean ignore the shit this dude says lol, go ic or reserve
The dorms 3 story couch can spawn anything though.
tru
I’ve gotten gpu spawns 3 times this wipe from there
Never seen any in those buildings but I did find one on a mattress in a storage thin next to big red
It's a bit disingenuous to say that it's a guaranteed spawn
Hey, so just started and not sure if I should pick Bear or Usec. I can wait till someone is free to answer this question
reserve is a shit hole for getting graphics cards because of all the shitter hatchlungs and low geared players rushing it
technically some spawns on customs but wouldnt really say that, best shit is ic and reserve and shoreline imo
Shoreline and interchange is still good
not talking to you
wonder why tarkov is being so laggy for me rn
i move and i teleport like 3 secs after lol
same, i told you servers are on lunch rn lul
I keep getting server disconnected :(
Whatever one u want bear starts with Russian stuff and can't speak English usec start with American gear and do speak english
bear u can blend in as scav sometimes but usec u can def ally with people better cause of the english
Ah okay
both very rare occasions but
BEARS:
BEARs start with AKs and Russian-aligned gear
Russian only voicelines.
Arguably better clothing options.
USECS:
USECs start with M4s and Western-aligned gear
English only voicelines.
Pretty mediocre clothing options.
Those are really the only differences so far. Further along in the game's future, some NPC factions will treat you differently, and there will be faction specific skills. If you're curious as to what gear you start with depending on the faction, check the game's preorder page.
npc factions?
When Streets of Tarkov comes out, BSG is hoping to have a few factions in: Russian Army regulars, and UNTAR.
Russian Army regulars will treat USECs as hostiles, and UNTAR will treat BEARs as hostiles
When is streets suppose to be coming out.
Last I heard of it was when everyone was speculating it'd have a wipe with it too.
But then woods expansion came and it wiped. Radio silence since.
Sorry I didn’t respond but really appreciate the info
I think there was a change of plans for Streets & Woods
Woods expansion was originally slated to come between 12.8 and 12.9, came with wipe instead at 12.9
Right, so are we thinking streets is the next big update or has that been pushed way back?
Streets is defo not gonna be the next big update
Didn't think so. Hmm. Wonder if it'll come out this year.
That's the plan, I think.
Streets is gonna be 13.0, this has been confirmed with what the devs have said, and the version number in the videos, but there's gonna be patches like 12.10, and I think 12.11 as well.
lmao i casually do a run on interchange trying to find scavs i think to myself lets check out a tech store awfully quiet here
it was quiet bc a 5 man stack was about to come with a bad spawn
I got ETS so maybe I can get in a few weeks early. I'm really excited for that style of map.
There's four main content focuses this year, according to a dev podcast on New Years Eve:
Streets, enhanced weapon malfunctions such as jamming, misfeeds, etc, storyline quests, and the armor rework.
Armor rework being the plates ?
Yep, and MOLLE customization
Gotcha
If these all don't come at the same time (which I think they will, with a wipe), weapon malfunctions will come first, followed by armor rework, then storyline + Streets together with a wipe
And that's based on the dev talks / podcast?
Or just your speculation. I appreciate the info
Yep
Don't forget the factory expansion and boss
Right, that's coming too
Looking for a teammate to play with semi new to game
New boss to 1 tap me every game :(
Pure speculation
Imagine if it's Worrun or Lvndmark as the scav boss.
They've talked about the armor customization for a long time, same with Streets
If it's Lvndmark themed, he gets pushed around in a shopping cart by a guard with a couch bag
AI based on their movement patterns.
only speaks in Twitch TTS phrases
Streets is gonna be... interesting, to say the least.
isnt streets gonna be huge
Oh, massive. They also want to put 40 players on it, with multiple scav bosses, and new NPC factions.
So I heard Customs is a good map to learn but any buildings that I should focus on instead of running around with my head cut off?
stashes
curious on who the factory scav boss will be
im guessing he wont be that geared or else people will farm him crazy
Walk out of spawn head eyes
Isn't the streets boss suppose to have a LMG?
Stashes?
Basically they are points around the map with RNG loot in them. Sometimes they pay off really well, other times they don't.
ONE of the streets bosses is gonna have an RPD, I think.
Does the RPD shoot 54R?
Oh okay okay
nope its 7.62x39 normally. Hmm
7.62x39. The PKM is 54R
I just want that damn scorpion backpack to come out
Something sounds great about 500+ rounds of 54R that is belt fed.
I think it'd be a great addition to the game after they add the weapon jamming system.
weapon jamming and snow are the two things i'm looking forward to
S N O W 
weapons should jam either after firing full auto for a long period of time or just randomly, but the chance gets higher based on the durability of your gun
planned™
how come the remington tactical choke 12ga sells for 4k from skire lvl 2 and on flea its 60+k ? do i sell it on flea or to mechanic?
people use it for Gunsmith 1
does anyone even buy it for that much?
would it be worth to put on flea for 60k or will it just time out
People bought RSASSes for 1.4 mil, man.
They're still going for 350k 
At least completing that one gives you 3 bitcoin
Bitcoin broken af arm 560k a pop
tfw you barter for rsass when they were 1 mill with 20 dogtags so it was pure profit
i'm of the opinion that the bitcoin farm should be removed
Nah then gpis got no use
someone bought it for 60k would have never expected that lol
Omfg auto correct
@silver hornet please no my one and only crutch im not chad enough to survive raids
but im curious if they'll add more shit to hideout and what it would be
maybe load outs and mannequins would be useful
can you lose your compass when dying?
Nope, just like you can't lose armband or melee weapon
ty
UNLESS it's the cultist's knife.
lvl 5 looking to run some customs with trying to build up loot an knock out some tasks
Any sea players wanna queue up?
whats the bare minuim of sas drives to run in docs case if i have lvl 5 strength to strenght train
Any low level players in EU need some help? DM me
hi i just started playing tarkov the other day and was wondering if there was a new player friendly LFG i was warned that joining random groups will more often than not get me killed plus random groups wont be in comms
I just found that out the hard way, only been on this game like an hour so far. Joined a group and got shot instantly when I loaded.
if you advertise you're a new player that's bound to happen unfortunately
its a toxic and pointless thing to do tbh lol
lots of shitheads in this server
Turns new players away so fast.
"yay another lvl 2 dogtag" Lul
if you use nvidia shadowplay you can submit a clip to a moderator to get them banned from the discordblacklisted from LFG
just make sure nothing rule breaking is said in that clip
I suppose so my name is 1800IMaNoob
Yes
yeah do not do that
there's no voip in this game anyway so you wouldn't be able to communicate with them
those people will always kill you, look for groups in this discord or somewhere else
even then be careful around people on this server
most of them won't team kill you but some will
If anyone's cool to teach a new guy [Need help] - managed to finish a Scav run so far
one of these is not like the others
lmao
when you upgrade a version does it reset your stash
yeah
hell yeah enjoy it
pog
ptw lul
my stash right now is just so small
not .02
.2
that's a lot of rep
it's so nice when wipe hits
yeah you'll love that gamma too you can fit so much ammo and meds in there
Well, i wanna cry lmao
Snuck up on a guy in a motorcycle helmet. i shot him point blank in the back of the head 3 times with an FAL and he turns around and 1 taps me with a saiga
it happens, sucks when it does
What are the circumstances in which the laser beam is visible?
I want to use a red laser ar night Customs, and I get the dot will be visible, just wondering when the beam is leading back to me
But I’d need to invest in the helmet with NVGs and such as well right?
If you wanna see at night yes. Lest you go with a mounted flash light.
anyone want to run some games together? I’m level 8 trying to level up lol
I mean for the IR Laser
If you are using night vision Googles you can see IR lasers
You can see your own IR laser and anyone else's. Unless Scavs have on NVGs they are not going to see it.
this game seems like a mystery to me sometimes
i broke my legs jumping out of techroom
with nothing but a rig and a pistol on me
ive never broken my legs jumping down fro mthere
what do people mean when they say the are cheesing a mission?
usually an easy work around to the actual objective but still completes it. sometimes may include bugs/glitches/and a fair bit of ratting.
any tips on how to do quest in shoreline i tried to wait in a bush for the start but died to a sniper with a thermal
what quest
im looking for 2-3 people in #beginners-assistance to join me for some money farming in factory
Rough night getting killed over and over down in money even my scav runs are going bad lol games tough starting out
Do force latespawn, to avoid this
i ve tried insta running to markers and waiting for pmc rush and always died in 30 secs or less
im about to just hatchet run died 5 times already i cant even get to task point
Bruh, check DM
how does the scav spawning work in this game? I am stuck on "kill 3 scavs in 1 raid w/o medicine"
doing it on woods for another quest
but struggling to find any outside of saw mill. do they spawn in waves? once they are dead, is that it? do they respawn if you are not near the area?
(level6) anyone down to help a friend and i get some tasks done
How can i put graphics cards in my farm?
It's erratic, but scavs can respawn, I've found that in those quests it's been easier to go in the dusk or early morning and essentially patrol 2-3 areas I know they have a chance of spawning. For woods the Emercom med area (FOB), the sunken village and the village all have good scav spawns
Should i sell my sugar now or wait for the price to go up?
can anyone tell me what i should keep and not keep kinda new to hideout
i can share screens
Look at quest guide and someone else here can link the hideout helper
Tells you what you need
can someone show me where all the gas tankers are on customs for prapors mark quest
like a map or something
Look at wiki
Theres literally a map
how good is this
lol
PFFTT xD
its worth a bit
its like 200k ish
wait act
my bad
wrong keycard
nvm it is 200k im trippin
150-200k ish
wait actually, what is that? 0.o
wow, they hooking people up lol
what is that
oh wait, that keycard is it for that one stim room on labs
hey gang I tried to buy some backpacks from Ragman but didnt have any room at the time, now it wont let me buy anymore
when can I buy again I need some baggage before another PMC run lol
nvm it works now
bro wtf is this run
Shoreline
ok ty
Used those keys.
hatchet run?
The wiki says the key with tape isn't required for the chemistry closet quest, does that mean the door is always unlocked or is it just saying that technically someone could unlock it for you?
always locked unless someone else opens it
gotcha
I found it and was thinking I might sell it if I made it out of the raid alive but I didn't so it's staying with me I guess.
I feel like that just means other people will always open it for me anyway but still, useful to have.
that and 222/226
yeah good for when you get a close spawn to east wing
get there first if you have sj6
i cant sell something that i died and saved in my alpha case to flea market?
and ez ledx
No, you have to survive
sounds like a good way to get killed
Item has to be found in raid for you t osell it on flea market
if i bring it into another raid and manage to extract will it become sellable?
No

Once an item is not found in raid its forever like that
but if you bring a found in raid item into a raid it becomes not found in raid
yeah sell to npc
or keep
ok tnx bro
np
anyone down to help me out
how do i find extracts like to i just look up a map and hope i go the right way?
level for day 2 player. starting to learn the maps just need a veteran of EFT there for support and guidance show me de way please n thankyou
level 4
i just had the weirdest 2v1 ever i dropped both instantly but they had weird loot on them
one was running around in a BP filled with UN helmets
Pretty much, learn the map, watch videos, get landmarks etc
And look at the wiki extracts to see their requirements
EU Looking for some chill loot/quest runs, DM 20+
Is there an easy way to check how many you have of a single item if you have a messy inventory?
Sadly, nah. The only thing you can really check the count of is ammo
You could go to a trader which needs them for a barther and that will show how many you have, otherwise if its needed in crafting you can check it there
lvl 2 need help would like a player to show me the ropes
i'm a lvl 2 and would like help learning the maps and tactics if anyone wants to help it would be greatly appreciated.
Put together a big list of 100 tips, I have lots more I could of added to this but I wanted to give a good variety of tips and may do more refined ones in the future. A lot of these I could do a whole video on so if you see ones you would love to know more about let me know and I'll put it on my to do list for guides.
--------------------------...
still stuck on this kill 3 scavs in a single raid in woods -.-
this will be 2 nights stuck and got to get off for work, reeee
i need to kill scavs in customs but i don't know why it doesn't tick up I've killed more than 5 scavs while playing on customs
You're doing as PMC right?
yes
yes and i also need to get the 2 shotguns but they never drop the 133 its always the 135 or whatever
Do you hear the notification when you kill a scav? Maybe you're just a pmc killer lol
no i've never heard the notification for it
Go to character>tasks
Does it show it there? You have to except the quest from prapor first
Maybe you haven't clicked accept?
i have 1/5 scav kill at customs
Yeah you're just a pro pmc killer then 😆
i doubt that maybe the game is just broken pmc's wreck my face when they see me
Haha same here
there like oooh a lvl 2 he must be rich let me go out of my way to kill him
Haha yeah man. The more and more I play it seems like you gotta invest in yourself. So use the good armor and ammo
i just wish i had people to play this game with its no fun getting wrecked all the time
I always go in with cheap ammo and armor for fear of losing good stuff
ammo is the most important thing
i mean i've already blown through all my standard edition money and gear
Hey you can always hit me up. I'm not great at the game but playing with people always takes that edge off and makes the game more chill
i would rather go with good ammo and no armor
i was told to use 7.62 so i'm using the sks with no magazine just top loading
Yeah i have good ammo and armor but if dying is inevitable then 😆
Sks can be good and insuring it you'll pretty much always get it back
Mosin 
mosin man
and my helmet even though it has high ricochet chance never does anything i just get 1 tapped
I do sks with the socom attachment, sight, and 20 round mags
I like mosin, nothing like one tapping people
Yeah i always use those cheap army helmets
ssh ?
@white coyote are you down to play right now im kinda tired of waiting for a sherpa to help me so if you want to play together im down
Mosin is bolt action right?
yes
Yeah i can't sleep so screw it lol
The ssh saved me soo many times
Lemme get on and get coffee
i run no helmet no armor no headset BELT rig and pistol with 7n
if i go on loot runs obviously
Ssh for life
My loot runs are go scav on reserve and loot all the raiders underground
Ah so you run around like a madman?
I like to do scav runs on woods tbh
yeah pretty much
i mean at the same time you could grab a pistol and make 2 3 mil in a 5 minute run on interchange
Yeah I'm broke because i bought cases. Might have to liquify
Imagine killing a PMC which was looting dorms for 20 minutes with your 3 minutes scav
i've only tried customs so far because i was told its the starter map and i have only had a bad time on this game so far i also have no clue how to make money
@upbeat glen you US?
yes
no map is a good starter map
customs is only recommended due to prapor questlines
interchange and reserve may aswell be better maps its opinions for the most part
well i also have prapor first task to do still because it wont tick up
Customs while easy to learn it forces PvP quite a lot and its hard to avoid, in my opinion interchange is more nice for new players
anyone down to get some quests done?
interchange is kind of chill and nice to learn reserve is a pain but kinda neat if you like it customs is aids
i agree customs so far has been aids because i kill like 3 scavs and then wait to make sure no players are coming after the gunshots and then bam i'm dead because my helmet blocks nothing
If you guys need some help running customs for quests, I'm down to help out, I'm NA.
Interchange is gold for new players in my opinion, customs is for those with a bit more experience
well too bad they put the first task in customs
^ Yup.
It is really bad cause it leaves a bad impression
helmets are useless if its not tier 4 or altyn for the most part
lame why even buy a helmet then
@rustic estuary me and someone else are gonna squad up if you want to
Every helmet has a chance to ricochet any bullet that hits it - very small however. Something is almost always better than nothing. (Unless the helmet blocks your hearing)
The SSH halmet did save me a bunch of times
I'm down, jump in the last beginner chat.
interchange is good for everyone
does anyone wanna run some tasks together? im struggling XD
do you only level up from pmc runs?
No, you can level up from SCAV runs as well, but it's better with the PMC due to quests
what's a good cheap gun for pvp at lvl ~21
People would say any SMG
hunter with m61
Is it worth getting a beta container
anyone on willing to get me a skeletonized ar-15 grip? dudes on flea trying to sell it for a fucking tape key
@ocean granite do the punisher questline to get epsilon container
Does it take a long time?@strong rampart
Alright
I can bring one into a raid for you if you like.
please dad
In game name?
Salami87
FR sent
Can anyone bring a compact mount for sights, I think Skier lvl 2 sells it
so I can do gunsmith 8
I can bring you it at the same time as I bring the grip for Salami if you like?
Sure
Just going to have to finish this raid real quick
@torn ledge you in a lobby or?
Not yet, just in a work call - what's your ig name?
"ImJustLooting"
Ayyyy
any good guys who can help?
FR sent
Da fuq happened to your stash.
😄
💯
wtf
Especially since the container is gone.

homies down bad
I'm always happy to help folks down on their luck n shit but that's just stupid lol
just reset the account man lmao

What level are you @bold kernel?

there was a post on reddit earlier about someone just having all of their stuff vanish
boys
ayo
the account language is in russian
Yup.
def not him XD
XD
конечно это не я
Aight @stuck stream and @strong rampart I'm free for a couple mins. Hydra, remind me what you needed?
Compact sight for sights, that's what you search
skier lvl 2
compact mount sorry 😄
извини моя плохая
я вижу
@strong rampart Aight queue up for Factory day - dunno where @stuck stream has gone so we'll have to go without him for now
not the first but the second
in que
same
Gonna drop a bag - both items are in. Grip on the left, mount on the right.
Stick in container, then we'll leave if we can.
One of you is gonna be tagged and cursed, so this could be interesting...
what does that mean lol
If you enter the raid without a weapon, all scavs will aggressively run to you
😄
It's to discourage hatchet running (i.e. entering a raid with no equipment so you can loot without risk)
fr?
I don't mind as long as I can put into my container
Yup.
all maps?
kinda wack, since i hatchet ran resort commonly
i take pistols now though
All maps, yeah. You may have heard Scavs shouting really angrily for no reason - it's because they know where you are.
Yeah I pistol reserve with a big ass rig to manhole
It's not like every scav on the map will run to your position but nearby scavs will seek and destroy 😄
A handgun + mag is usually enough to prevent tagged/cursed.
Pray for a good spawn, lads.
MY TAGS.
hehe
thanks
How dare you 😄
lmfao
lulul
That covered my costs 😄
ez money
nice 😄
Aw, almost killed a PMC. Never mind 😛
Screenshot it
make sure you take the mag out
Wrong mag.
also ya
It needs to be the black magazine.
really 😄
fold it too
👍
Got it thanks, no need to fold though 😄
Noice, grats 😁
See if I can do part 9 now 😄
9 isn't tooooo bad, but the RK-3 grip can be stupid expensive sometimes
Nvm, price on flea is aight
the 30k one yeah
bro
Mhm
fukcing garbage game
5 mags of what into who?
a scav lmao
Using what ammo?
no idea
What weapon was it?
but i still emptied 5 mags
how contested is resort
ak47 and
Very.
You sure it wasn't an AK74?
There's a distinct difference between an AK47 and an AK74.
They use very different ammunition
What I'm getting around to is that
- Ammo is more important than the weapon
- Depending on which weapon, you likely missed a LOT of shots
- It may have been a raider or scav boss
Raiders and bosses have around double the health of a regular scav. What map were you on, and where were you?
I mean...no offence mate but if you fired 150 rounds and didn't kill a scav, I'm not sure you have any right to be calling them trash >_>
idk
im in no way good at the game
but what are the fking odds of missing every single bullet in 10 ish meters
:/
After the round, it'll tell you how many rounds you fired and how many were hits
It also tells you how much damage you did as well as how much damage was absorbed by armor
ah shoudlve check that
didnt know about it
that could clear up a lot of things actually
👍
the more i play the game the more annoyed i ge t
I put 7 rounds into a PMC back yesterday... he did not die.
There's a steep learning curve - I'd highly recommend spending a bit of time reading the wiki.
This page in particular looks complicated but it's EXTREMELY useful to understand how ammo works, and what ammo is worth using vs what ammo is trash:
ik
@torn ledge I need another compact mount 😄
thanks!
looooool
that pestily guy runs pst on smgs and shreds everyone
👍
@torn ledge Think you can help me out bro
logic much
Pestily has literally THOUSANDS of hours in the game, and he knows where to aim. If you aim at the legs which are always unprotected, ammo becomes irrelevant.
But you have to be skillful to do that, sometimes.
so
Sure, gimme 2 mins.
Thanks
i can drop someone with pst if i go for the leg?
with a 30 mag
because the head sure dont work
XDDDDDD
Sure, but it'll take several bullets. Once the leg is blacked out, all further damage continues to the overall HP. It doesn't take long to murder someone with leg meta.
For example, RIP ammo has 0 penetration - it won't even break through class 1 armor
But it does like 100 damge per shot.
5 bullets will take someone from 465 HP to 0, even without the added damage from hitting a destroyed limb
That's fine, I'm just trying to show that ammo is important and where you hit is equally important
yup i understand that but like
you talk way to fast. have some more coffee. your not even listening.
i cant afford to spend 160k + for ammo if i get dropped quickly
lol im just saying ive tried with better ammo and it dosent seem to do anything for me
ive tried mpx with the 7n ammo and i still got dropped XD
🤷♂️
yep so there is just NO solution for you. oh well. better luck next time. 🙂
guess not
yep, guess not.
In another meeting but should be free in little bit
Alright no worries
its less skill and more being able to break the muscle memory of aiming for the chest and head
Best place for in raid flash drives
safes and pc blocks
@strong rampart i just craft them
Need skier lvl 2 but it's killing me
?
Need rep
Other than that, safes, pc blocks
can somebody help with quests?
whats a decent weapon thats a step up from sks' and glocks
just unlocked flea
ak74m
I'm a big fan of the AKM - very moddable, decent ammo etc etc
ok thanks you guys
can do a budget build for 60k
^^^^^
not including amo
Ammo is super cheap
For a 74, use BT. For an AKM, use PS (or BP if you can afford it)
