dm if you want to help me out im brand new i know a few things tho
those top 2 30 rounders are like 40k mags i think
omg thank god i picked those up
no new armor? sadge
try hopping in one of the beginners assistance groups when a slot is available
k thx
on flea market, but not to dealer... that gun though, the ammo is expensive as fuck
would you mind me screen sharing and u telling me what to do with this stuff? im lost
im unavailable for voice at the moment... sell the VSS, and the expensive mags, bc they are not 'Found In Raid'
and the ammo for it is expensive as balls, and you cant even buy teh ammo til level 10
he's level 2
so, he can clap
i just hit lvl 3 from that lol
he cant buy the bullets bro
with a bare ass ak lol
from who?
hell be lvl 10 in no time
agreed with mote
the sight is worth keeping, but not the gun and the mags, takes up to much space
remove pistol grip
if he were level 10 maybe, and it's still expensive ass ammo to run for an auto
he can buy or find another one later...
kept the guns forever, took up all my space and in the end i wasnt able to sell them on the flea because i had no idea they had to be FiR
so keep the pistol grip and sight from the VSS?
No no...
haha nah if you remove pistol grip it makes the gun smaller
on most guns you can remove the mag and the pistol grip to make it smaller
OH
and mag
but just sell the guns and mags to a dealer
if you just have to try one later, you can once you get flea market
not worth sucking up your inventory space, you have almost no experience with this game's automatic guns
vss is a laser
is the SPP ammo good?
that gun is kind of a higher skill level gun
spp ammo is high tier
except it's not... the bullets drop dramatically
yeah dont try to snipe
yeah im running out of space ive been selling so much to dealers
shotgun internal mags mean any ammo you load in-game is the next to be chambered, right?
@lunar pine many rigs give more space than they take up, use them for extra space
how often does the game come on sale?
it's intuitive like typical guns woulds be
think i will upgrade to EOD
every 3 months or so
they had a sale at xmas, so id wait til next month
can anyone recommend a way to get the 6b43 armor under 50%? cause I'm not trying to pay like 6 mil for broken armor
ive been having a blast thus far but alpha case and smoll stash are fucking annoying
to see if there's a sale
keep refreshing Fence in hopes of getting lucky OR have a friend shoot you
just upgraded today to lvl 2 stash and christ what a difference
@slow bone I upgraded to eod like 2 days after I started playing
its worth it swear to god
figured, but ill wait for a sale to upgrade
anyone want to help with delivery from the past on factory?
@slow bone try to wait til next month if you can, will probably get another sale, and it's usually 25% off, unless you got the $ and dont care
go in with a 5 man squad, no other PMCs spawn
get it done stress free
yeah, factory day is max 5 PMCs
so if it's you and 4 other dudes, then no other PMCs will spawn, just player scavs after about 15 minutes
yeah delivery from the past is a bitch
luckily it's the only mission where you have to take one item from one map and take it to another, and yes it's annoying af, without a 5 man
what do u do with dogtags?
can ssave them, but you dont have a dogtags case yet
how do i get one
you can turn a 100 for a case, 140 for a different case
if u save them u can trade them for stuff but u can sell them
@lunar pine flea market
crap lol
id save them
you wiped a 3 man at level 2, you'll be fine lol
you only need 54k total exp for level 10
i was just trying to kill 5 scavs on customs lol
yeah dude, that's dope
these vss mags only go for 15k selling, should i hold for lvl 10?
do yo uknow what 'Found In Raid' means?
if the thing doesnt have a white circle and check mark in the bottom right... it is not Found In Raid or FIR
if it's not FIR, you cant sell it on flea... those mags sell for that on flea market, but your mags arent FIR, bc things PMCs bring in cant be FIR
ahh ok
everything you find on a map will be FIR if you get either 600 exp or are in the raid for at least 10 minutes as a PMC
if not, the items will not be FIR and cannot be sold on flea
those mags on flea are like 40-50k, but to a dealer you get less
and since you got them from a PMC they will not become FIR
thanks for explaining so much
Itโs 7 minutes now, I think
did you kill anythging?
oh oh youre saying not asking
i doont believe thats accurate
anyone want to play customs on eu?
can try #pvp-lfg also
how much slower am i at 20.3 kg compared to a guy who is only running a pistol?
how has he already looted texho and techlight when i got there lmao </3
i cant tell how much of a difference a 16 kg makes cuz it also depends on spawn
the gun you have doesnt really matter, it's just your weight
yea ik but if he is only wearing a pistol he should be about 4 kg
it's not hte speed that is effected as much, it's the distance
someone lighter will run a lil bit faster, but will run a lot farther if they're lighter
Hey people. I bought the game yesterday and im really scared to use my gear, is this the right place to look for someone to guide me?
type !sherpahub or look for a group to join, or join a beginners assistance vc
no
you need a sherpa if youre that concerne.d.. you can request sherpa services by typing !sherpahub
it's not immediate though
Is it possible to hold your breath while holding e or q?
Hey guys, do you have any tips for a super new player? Like, where should I be raiding, what should I be doing in game, that kind of thing. Kind of a broad question I know but I thought i'd ask.
start on customs... scav every time you can to learn maps risk free
Scav is coming in with a random loadout, it's free gear and money with no risk... PMC is where you bring your own shit in
^ map
most of your beginning quests are all on customs
so if you learn that first you can start questing, which rewards you with nice chunks of EXP
Guns dont do damage bullets do...
Can you do quest shit with a scav?
No
only simple shit like 'find this item in raid' like shotguns or armors
if it's 'find this quest item' then no
Ok, got ya, and then tactics wise how should I be playing?
Well youre pretty much gonna get shit all over for a while
So take it slow, move with purpose, dont just be wandering out in the open
listen A LOT
Thats reassuring lol. But yeah, can do, i'll take my time and listen.
This game has an incredibly steep learning curve, even for FPS veterans
if you've played a lot of FPS games that'll help, but youre still gonna get walked all over for a while
@rain zephyr OH, and AI scavs will NOT shoot you if you're also a scav... UNTIL you hurt one of them, after that they all will aggro to you if they see you
You can do a few offline raids to help you get acclimated
Gotta throw call of duty out the window and try to feel like what a real life combat would be tbh lol
after selecting your map, hit next, then enable offline
Ok, thats a useful did bit, how can I differentiate between scavs and PMC's?
make sure to enable scavs, then you can kinda learn scav AI a bit
they wear different shit, and scav clearly act like bots
By clothing and the way they move
player scavs will look the same, but they will different behave like humans
Ok, cool.
although scavs randomly sprint now, which can be scary as shit
AI scavs will also wiggle at you
and pick up guns
and eat and drink
lmao they really be doing everything now
As for looting, should I be looking for specific stuff or is it mostly random spawns?
eft is a game of knowledge, you will have to learn the value of every item over time
there are loots spots... but they dont always have loot, just look around, familiarize yourself with where loot spawns, that map i linked you shows loot spawns
use the wiki to search for specific items if u care enough
I have the map opened up in a tab and am looking it over
I appreciate the help lads.
np, gl friend
we're always here to answer questions
Nice, I think i'll play a bit and come back most likely with a story of getting stomped and some more questions lol.
I **help nearly everday, spent over 2 hours in a call with a noob earlier today
are you in the sherpa hub?
nah, id rather help on my own accord
dont want to feel obligated to answer sherpa requests
Mote is dope! Extremely helpful
Yeah good dude.. Done 3 raids this morning on interchange.. Still going awesome. Loving the game even more
fantastic!
1500exp off lvl 10! Lessgo
good on you bro! that's one good PMC raid... you kill 3 or 4 scavs and youve got it
Dude i'm finding so many Tetriz's lol Making good bank.. Doing pretty good at getting to those idea front offices first
Yet to find a gfx card
where do you find tetriz i have never found any personally
they're not common, but more easily found interchange than most other maps
ooh alr thanks
German, Rasmussen, Techlite, shop across from emercom medical, idea office, idea backroom, texho are the most common spawns for tetriz @opal moth
if you look on a map, the unnamed shop above emercom medical has GPU and tetriz spawns
i ALWAYS check that shop
on the metal shelves and orange countertops
im lvl 13 but trying to get people to do the kiba store runs with me I have both keys
i got into marked room and picked up an m1a how much modding do i need to do before its worth using
i'm mostly just using it instead of a vepr hunter next raid cause it has bigger mags
hunter is still a beast too though
yeah thats why i use it so much
just not as good close as m1a bc of the mags
Total newbie but i have picked up on the game fast. What is the fastest way to level up?
yo is rip ammo good to use with an mp5
quest
quests
yerrrrr
for leg meta... ap 6.3 otherwise
got yaaa thanks
pst gzh can work if you go for headshots
unless they have a faceshield youll dome em pretty quick
can being the operative word
oh alright good to know thank you
pst wont stop a chad with chest shots at all though
i usually run an mp5 with a drum and rip but ive been aiming at the chest/head this whole time lol
prob y i dont live too much
you dumb dumb
lmao yeppp
yeah go for legs and youll down em quick
@opal moth use this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pp8tKScb0jB66cOCJSAlNn-iKERMXd9FVkSmSq83qn8/edit
Quick Reference Sheet [Up To Date]
I stream: ,https://www.twitch.tv/nofoodaftermidnight
Effectiveness,Est. Avg. Shots Stopped By Armor Before Killing
0,Pointless,20+,Can't penetrate in any reasonable amount of hits
1,It's Po...
tells you all you need to know about bullets
ooh alright perfect thx
pay attention to penetration of armors, and the flesh damage
eft.monster is better for the UI
if it doesnt pen armor at all, it probably does super high flesh damage impying it's leg meta ammo
I find this pretty helpful https://eft.monster/
^
nah i like numbers, not graphs
oh alright ill use all of em lol
preference though
in short if you have high pen go for chest or head, if you have high damage go for arms and legs
alright thank you for the info
np
hey so i got two chemical things for vitamins part one, but forgot to hand over and went into another raid, if i die in this raid do i lose the first two chems
you only lose the one you didn't turn in
yes
Looking for some help on reserve, Ive got like 20 hrs and just looking for some guidance DM if interested
Just got to level 10.. What's the first thing I should do? lol
bathe in the glory of the flea market
lolll
doess the online time in the overall section count as only time in raid or time total on tarkov
but fr pick up everything you find, sometimes you can find something worth a lot to sell on the flea market
time in raid
scav and pmc or just scav
do you mean the 2 times when you click on a map? like where it says 13:00 on one side and another time on the other
doing dorms run i have 5 uses left on mark room, can someone guide me and help me
What do you need a guide for if you've already used it?
thank you for asking the questions before me
Just seems like a bit of a bait for TK D:
that, or legitimate bad player
Man I need 18 more dogtags over level 15 -_-
level 9. trying to make it to level 10. request a sherpa type for customs runs. US EAST
Looking for some help on reserve, I'm level 5 and just looking for some guidance DM if interested (US or EU)
Anyone able to help me on eft I have 800 roubles left and Iโm level 5 kinda losing motivation to play dm me if you can help
Do some scav runs
What map?
play slower, more methodically
i cant get on rn but ill send u a good vid one sec
Iโve been running interchange a lot because I got all the stuff I have as of rn from there as a scab
Scav*
I was the same when I first started man
And normally when I kill someone I die from another player scav that I cant tell is player scav or a player from 500 years away
part of the game you die then you rise up.
Iโve just had no luck and now no money lmao
anyone trying to run possibly help me with some quests im new to the game but half ass know how to play lol
it can be either full or empty, I'm pretty sure
either work
this was really cheap but i shot some dude in the stomach twice with magnum buck, is this loot good?
i went in with magnum buck expecting to kill scavs
magnum buck gets the job done
rat attack
well i mean he came at me i was just looting and going to leave
aside from gun and rig that's all doodoo
ears are okay
for a new player it isnt that bad lol
trooper is good throwaway armor
yeah, but there's a reason people don't use it when they know the game
repairs well and will get back from insurance like 50/50
i won't teach a new person that something is good if i won't use it personally ๐
hunter + m61 = ez rat to meta
Bruh
it's a good mentality. i aim to support by telling you that it won't be what you will run most of the time lol
Man most likely can't run hella geared just saying
mate i just throw on whatever and go in
some people are like that, but who's to say they aren't 
what is currently the best way to make money (besides btc farm)? Would it be tech store rush on interchange?
rush tetriz and gfx card for btc farm
yeah, your best bet is interchange rushing, kick fucking teeth in on labs, or just do reserve.
oh yeah, shoreline
shoreline is always money
how do you max your strength and endurance??
have to go resort though
I barely remember customs
you unlock access to the air filtering unit in your hideout that gives a... i think 40% exp boost or some shit to physical skills
maybe 30%
but that will greatly increase your strength and endurance leveling. endurance is just running around. strength you need the weight number to be yellow (encumbered)
overweight you mean
you can fill a docs case with sas drives to store in your gamma as weight, shotgun shells are cheap and work, too. if your case is large enough, you can even tank battery.
yeah, idk the specific term for the minor encumber
air filter unit requires the fp-100's btw. so it costs money on top of the fuel
yeah actually it is so silly, after I asked, I ran texho and found a gpu
unless you find the filters, but they're rare
yo wait on what
i miss days when i didn't know the game well and my heart was always audible in my ears
interchange tech store
imma attempt that
that's me currently LMAO
it's hard to get out of, lol
legit just takes time
if you run tech stores, just be wary if you don't spawn next to them, you will be beat. and even spawning beside them, someone with higher level stats or even an stim popped can outrun you
Idrk, I always light people up but never drop em
Since I began playing again I don't believe I've extracted once yet lmfao
doing dorms run i have 5 uses left on mark room, can someone guide me and help me
how do you have five uses left if you need a guide, man
you came here earlier with that suspicious shit, lol
Can anyone help me with challaneges
took me no joke 600-ish hours before my sr was on average 30% because i learned so slow
game is nice if you like being punched in sensitive areas
like the balls
so you know like when you're checking how many bullets you have left or whatever? I always accidentally do left alt and w making my gun aim upwards by accident due to me normally walking/running
you'll want to rebind all that shit. side mouse buttons are op for tarkov
What would you suggest?
can anyone help me with tasks
take everything off shift is what I did. i use ctrl/alt+ my side mouse buttons, scroll wheel, or clicking down on the scroll wheel.
really something you have to sit down in an offline or at your shooting range and feel out
Can you lose things offline? I've always wondered that
nope
you can take a fir labs card into an offline labs and it won't lose found in raid, too
do ai scavs spawn in the second the game starts? i know player scavs are later on. also, if ai scavs do spawn off the bat, are those the spawns you see on the maps online? or are those the player scav spawns that only happen later into the match?
Ai scavs should spawn off the bat, but some maps like factory or customs, it's hard to say
i feel like sometimes you see nothing early on in the raid
Thank you
there's so many controls lmfao
here i'll start it up and screen my settings
because i don't have everything rebound. just what i deemed important for the rat lifestyle
wiped a nighttime squad, which one(s) should I keep and which should I sell?
they are all kinda bad
ya lol look at that ergo
0 ergo lmao
idk why these guys were all running thermals
just take reaps, stocks and ammo
yeah take silencers off
alright bet
maybe keep svd for the quest
listem to campbell
take mags ammo supressors and sights
but mod it before you use it please
so silencers possibly ammo and stocks
ya ofc
what svd quest
how far in is that
svd quest shit will burn a hole in your pockets if you die
punisher part 6
yeah
ya it's done
then you're good to go
well then
i don't even like reapirs, man. flir is the best thermal
flir zoom is nuts
honestly the silencerco supressor is ass
that zoom level 
sell it too
but i dont think you can bring it into a nighttime raid
the only good one there is the sig qd
wait how good is a grizzly first aid kit lmao
i thought the screen brightness
but i kinda spoonfed him the kill
of the flir is too bright at night
maybe, but i have postfx set and all that
ah
i am a night rat, so i kinda setup my shit for that. if i play daytime my eyes bleed
i don't even use nvgs lol
ive been doin night raids just to hunt down players with reapirs / flirs
its stupid profitable
but non fir thermals don't sell for much
can anyone help me with tasks
i just use them if i pull them off people
i usually hunt cultists and try to let one stab me
go through a whole grizzly in a single raid for exp

ghetto screenshot of my keybinds #screenshots
farming vitality?
can anyone help me with tasks
i fucked that screen up hard. forgot to show check mag. oh well
hey all
if no one takes it out of raid
if time expires in raid, anything on your person will be lost
if it doesnt get taken out of raid you get it back after 24-36 hours
no ammo meds or grenades tho
its gone
if your insured gear is in raid at the end of the raid timer, you will 100% get it back
..i never realized that while i was reloading my mags were getting dropped lol
hopefully they were insured
I saw this vid and some dude had thermal goggles or something I had no idea those were in game
8mil
Good those things looked broken
the day before wipe happened, everyone was running them without a care haha
Wow lol
they dropped the price of them down to 400k and made it so you could get several
you can only use ironsights with them, though
the ir rays won't go through any optics you try to use
Oh ok where do you even get them from anyways?
max jaegar
Holy lmao. Can you find these ingame?
probably. not like i ever would haha. probably in places like kiba on interchange
but i don't think you can sell them on flea now that i think about it
so probably not able to find them
oh alright
nope
gib me ur facking money
if anyone needs a guide, quest help, or just want to learn the game cause you're new DM me, ill be glad to help!
I'm looking for some one to help me. I'm barely a level 4
Im a level 2, I run around trying to figure out where I am and get one shot in 2 minutes lmao
This isnt going well
I've been mainly doing scav runs bc I'm afraid to die and lose my gear lol
I did the opposite of that and I have almost nothing left, some insurance stuff is coming back I think but not til sometime tomorrow
Maybe we can get a Sherpa to help us and show us the ropes
can someone help me i get destroyed 2 minutes off spawn
ha thats our issue
takes time to get used to the game
Better than 10 steps
You need to die and lose gear to learn the game
Gear comes and goes. You will learn that soon enough
Go in an offline game and learn your extracts
is there a way to choose which items i want to use to upgrade the hideout? dont want to use my fir items
How necessary is a helmet? lol
I mean if you don't want to get one tapped in the head..
tbh in this game it really depends
Dude, you still get one tapped anyway haha
thats what you think
Huh?
Depends on what bullet the opposing enemy is using
exactly
yeah and anyone who know anything is using the right bullets
scavs arent
Scavs I don't care about lol
scavs with buckshot though o _ o
Scavs are easy days
it seems like you already made up your mind
You're an idiot
You're obviously a noob, so don't be giving out tips lol
I haven't played this game in about a year and finally just extracted as a scav
im not giving you tips
armor in this game are stadistics
and you are the one who asked
SHOULD I WEAR HELMETS AT ALL? LMAO
Omg haha
if you make stupid questions
what do you expect people to think about u
dont wear helmet
You must be 12
use a ricochet mask
yeah
you are the one who insulted an stranger
but im the one whos 12
gtfo
manchid
Everyone else here is helpful. This is the first time I have come across someone I have had to call that haha
Have a cry ๐
Get over it. Baby
god damn
Sooky la la
this is a pretty dumb question though
Not really..
and then proceeded to insult
and say
you are the first one i call to call an idiot haHA\
You can't even use proper grammar
Or know how to put a sentence together
Wow, you can read
lol guys cmon
Hi guys, Im pretty new to game and currently looking for partner to raid woods, is anyone such here? ๐
@fiery mountain you might be better suited to use the #pvp-lfg channel, might get better luck there, but also be warned they are shutting down the servers for a patch update, the #eft-announcements said
@prisma fjord damn, I see it. It just started? Or it is already in progress? It says approximately 4 hours
@prisma fjord Thanks for advice ๐ I'll check it there
I was about to do another scav run..
Yeah I stay up to date, cause i have the updates/announcements linked to my discord so I always get notified lol
I just woke up and was exited to start the game and die again like 20 times yesterday!! ๐ ๐
yeah I know what you mean, when I cant play Tarkov is the most I actually want to play it lol
hey
You can still do offline raids.
are the servers down?
yea same they must be doing some patch stuff
@final geode #eft-announcements
ty
Weirdo. Watching someone on twitch do offline factory raid right now.
Practice
smart tho
That's weird
You guys prefer 308 MDR or M1a?
no, just an update
the mdr is an assault rifle while the m1a is a marksman rifle, they are really different
I'm aware I'm asking people's preference
Does anyone know if you have your generator on when servers go down will it still be on when they go back up?
Turned my gen on right before servers went down... didnt know it was coming, dont really want to stay up 4 hours to turn my genny off lmao
Take the fat L and go to sleep
Do sniper scavs spawn "active" at start of raid, or can it take a minute or a few for them to be up and shootable?
When do servers come back up?
@bold kernel already up
anyone got a skeletonized ar-15 grip?
need it for gunsmith part 13 but the only way i can get it is from skier ll3
Want me to bring it into a raid for ya? ๐
if you want to sure, or you can fence it
Aight, sticking one on the fence now.
It's up.
Can put more up, just tell me when you're ready.
jus waiting for it to appear, unless someone sniped it haha
It was sniped.
Tell me when you're actually ready to refresh and I'll put another up.
Failing that, I'll just come into a raid.
alright, put up one more
does stuff need to bee found in raid to barter n the flee market?
i want to buy green card
but barter only
yes, it does
hey need help with bunker p.1 can sombody help me
What do you need help with? Just finding it, or?
bunker part one? oh finding the underground, the room and extracting
yeah thats the problem
It's barter only because of the immense fees it would charge if you were to list it for roubles
so i would need to have a found in raid blue card and a found in raid violet card to buy this for example
dont know the map
who the fuck has that found in raid
It's actually really straightforward and there are some really good guides for it. Lemme find you one.
that would help thanks man
naish, ill help you out, find a lfg room for reserve and ill run with you

+i appreciate it man thx
๐
is there someone who knows how to solve this problem
Btw, here's a really good interactive map that should help with map references and such - the main buildings on the Western part of the map are all named as chess pieces. Check this out:
https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/maps/reserve_re3mr_loweffortsaltbox_blank
Escape From TarkovReserve map with name Reserve Main
holy shit that looks awesome i was just overwhelmed with learning a new map lol
i have the maps and wiki open all the time to alt tab
good habit to get into
if you want to solo run this quest, id def practice offline to learn the routes in and out to extract
yeah i know the probleme is i dont have a lot of time to play everyday soo i was like if somone would guide me that would be a little bit easier
but yeah i guess there is no shortcut
i use mapgenie, such an amazing site
^
wish there was a table that tells you what "super-rare" items are in the scav case
It is sort of covered on the Wiki - each searchable container has a list of possible spawns. Most of those pages specify the rarity of items:
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Looting#Searchable_Containers
Hm, actually having looked through it looks like the rarities have been removed in most cases ๐ค
Rare/super rare should be relatively obvious though.
Super rare is things like Gold Watches, Bronze Lion Statues, Skull Ring etc etc. Most of those items have purple backgrounds.
can anyone help me with the search mission quest from prapor?
Which quest?
Oh, the new one? Yeah that's all in the new area of Woods. It's shown on this map:
https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/maps/glory4life_updated_feb_2021
Escape From TarkovWoods map with name Wood Updated v5.1
North area of the map, near the Scav Bunker.
i just dont wanna go alone if that makes sense? just asking of anyone wants to help with it in beginners assistance.
I'd recommend checking out #pvp-lfg and the Sherpa Hub (see #sherpa-info). You may still find someone who can help, but those are the best places to go ๐
keep or sell?
wait until you have flea market
ok
then sell if you want the money
k ill do that
Don't sell West 216.
like san 216 is worth alot, therapist buys it for 45k while on flea it sells for 635k
You need it for a quest and it has really good loot spawns.
dont sell shit to traders as a found out the hard way lmfao
wich 1 of them is this special key?
san 216
The one with the red bit.
Don't sell that key if you plan to do the tasks in this game - 216 is needed for a quest, but it also spawns good stuff:
1 x Weapon box (4x4)
2 x Grenade box
1 x weapon spawn M4A1
Loose loot (Computer Parts, Meds, loaded M4A1 Magazines)
1 x LEDX Spawn```
๐
Two or three runs on that room will cover the amount you would have made on the flea by selling it ๐
@torn ledge if i dont die after 3min in raid
Very true ๐
what to do with the other keys?
Sixpack you can just sell to a trader, the other two are used for early quests.
ok thx ๐
wait why my scav is locked? is it due to the update?
The time resets after an update, yes.
ah i see
Just do a pistol run or something while you wait ๐
any rookies need a guide for beginner stuff? my stash is filled with scratch gear and im bored.
Anybody ok with helping me try do the extortionist? EU
can somebody help? i loaded in the game but cant see anything
disconnect and reconnect maybe
but my gear
Is it night time?
yes
Was thinking
interchange
Turn on a light
Tarkov gets dark... If you spawn in a mall back room.. all the darker.
Nighttime can sometimes be veeery dark, but if you look around and see no moonlight or anything like it then thats weird, but if you're a scav you may have spawned indoors looking at a wall
disconnect and reconnect to the same game
plus why dont you have nightvision in a night raid o.O
that happend i think
was a scav
yeah it's probably the case
thanks anyways
Gotta hug the walls and try scatter around lol
i was so confused haha
Anybody down to guide me through the extortionist?
Should binaural sound be on?
I found a tank battery
oh lol hi
can anyone help me learn extracts on customs dm me
is anyone down to run with me and 1 other person for customs because idk extracts and the maps are confusing asf lmao
@red skiff @supple topaz I can't help you with a run but this interactive map is super useful:
https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/maps/customs_clean_monkimonkimonk
Escape From TarkovCustoms map with name Customs Main
Red is probably 'best' but they're all useful.
already have red, what is the 'second best'
Where did u find the card?
In a wallet
Damn, where was the wallet?
Marked room in Reserve
Ok thanks, I should try going there more often
any new players want a free rb-bk key
How many times can you change your name?
Hey I need help with 3 quests on customs, I've never been to the map. LVL 15 NA.
Ok so not exactly beginner (lvl10) but I don't have Mechanic Level 2 yet (that requires level 20 I think ) and wanted to ask if anyone would buy me 2x 4.1inch M-LOK guides from him? I will pay for them and the trouble of going in a raid to drop them off
Hey guys im new started playing yesterday, watched lots of vids but if anyone wants to team up and show me the ropes that'd be great
i have seen most people recommending the mosin to do the sniper quests, but wouldnt the sv98 be cheaper?
i used the 366 molot. the sv-98 is frequently cheaper than the mosin, but a lot of people dont like the way the sv98 feels, or dont like managing magazines
the sv-98 used to have trigger delay that felt terrible. i believe this has since been patched
molot is the absolute cheapest, but it comes down to preference
I should be able to grab those for you.
SV-98 is a better option, yes. It's a bit cheaper but also has better ergo and rails for sights without needing extra mounts.
boosting D: im reporting u to nikita
will try the molot and the sv, thanks!
omg ty! are you on rn?
if you run molot you NEED to run 366ap. i found it particularly useful for the close range pmc kills, and suppressed kills, as both the gun and suppressor are crazy cheap
eko has 30 pen, isnt good enough?
ap has low velocity so you have to aim a bit higher
yeah, i swapped to mosin for tarkov shooter parts 7 and 8
for higher velocity rounds
but for all the sub 25 meter and 45 meter stuff i did 366ap
pretty much always got molots back from insurance because they're not worth picking up
@torn ledge Can you grab those real quick then jump in a customs raid to drop them off? also how much do you want
Sure, remind me what you need? And dw about it.
@bold kernel Bruh.
I can't wait around forever dude...
o mate
I can't rn, thought you wemt afk or something, gonna be back home in like 30 mins
Was in a work meeting - np just hmu later I guess
Just ping me here and I'll try to respond
Oki
eko's the budget 366 ammo u use during shit runs with 209s
recommend to just use the ap with 366 guns, everything else in practically useless against armor
Servers down?
flickered, i managed to log back in to the main menu
how tf am i supposed to get 3 pmc kills with pistol
wanna jump into Duo?
i cant play tarkov rn i busy with some work but if your playing later then im down
yh yh cool you US or Eur
us
dm me when you're around and we'll get it done
bet
where is higher chance to find firesteel rb-am or west 301
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I think itโs pretty similar Iโve found more in rb-am from personal experience though
what is the benefit of the moonshine making upgrade at the hideout? what is moonshine for?
scav case or you can sell on flea
there isnt profit from selling moonshine right now
so either use it for scav case or just sell the water
where
workbench
I just bought the game How do i install it?
Open the launcher.
How do i download it
It's a link on your profile, one sec and I'mm PM you the link.
Ok
@torn ledge Ok am ready as long as you don't need to be in a voice call ( can't speak rn )
is it possible to put a scope like a red dot on the elcan specter 4x scope?
I know it has a mount slot, but I cant find anything
what gun should I use from traders if i'm level 5 and don't have access to flea market yet
sks
what ammo?
ps
what place is it from like 1-10
Shotgun with 8.5mm buckshot.
i had a bunch of BP that i was using and then i ran out and it worked really well
I have 1-mil
where is he suppose to get magnum buckshot from?
until you unlock vendors or at least level 10 and flea market it's 10/10
I bought EFT just now and was downloading it, i noticed it said Region: USA, I am an eu player.
Can i change the region?
You should contact customer support about that.
I also saw i can change servers to eu, can i play those while my region is usa
Yes, you can select and play on servers outside of your designated region, the question is if your account is going to get blocked if you keep logging in to the game from other location.
is your character's watch accurate?
yes
neat
How can I check my watch
@bold kernel if you won't be able to resolve it keep in mind that as a EU citizen you can resign from an online purchase for up to 14 days regardless what TOS is saying.
not sure if there's an interaction, but depend on clothes you choose it can be more or less visible and readable
So if i keep on playing on eu servers im gonna get blocked
please read again what I've wrote above
Not an EU citizen, eu servers are just the closest to me.
briish?
nope
It says i can upgrade to an EU version for 10 usd
*Workbench
Other Region: Purchases made in this region work only in countries outside of EU and CIS countries; all goes to this region and this version of game can be launched anywhere in the world except in Europe regions. May also appear as "USA".
Hi everyone. What is the best ROI for the scav case?
there are some various analyses online. generally booze best for streamer items, intel best for keys, and 85k roubles best for RoI
Whats better to save. 2 usec armors or gen4?
but all 3 are generally profitable and just sort of comes down to risk/reward
Hmm, okay. So I'm better off just selling the moonshine
if me gen4
in raid? gen4 if its in good shape, trooper if its not
crafting moonshine is currently not profitable - sell if found, otherwise just sell the water
I got full stash. And the best choice i have to is save either one. Idk
True, sugar and water is more expensive than the moonshine.
but a good condition gen4 is better value/slot than trooper
sugar + water + market fee
Gen 43/46.2 trooper above 62...
Will it rise later into the wipe?
Hi looking for an Escort/Sherpa for Prapor Quest delivery from the past (just factory portion) US East Coast. Will throw a you fiver via venmo. Cheers
lfg duo, need help hitting mark room 3 more times, im level 13 i prefer a more experience player.
I think trooper is better since they are in better quality than gen
do i get to keep the gear
not in the mark room because i spent 500k on that
my game kept on dropping (connection lost) i have extremly good interent
now ive lost all my gear & probably died
this started to happen just after i updated
what does a t4 and lower helmet actually block? lol
like should i stop insuring my t3/4 helmets and just let them slowly be GONE
Anything under 40 pen, might save you once or twice but other than that just wear a hat
- Server optimization [iteration #2].
- Various client optimizations.```
I had a feeling that was what this would mean :^)
lost loot, not that i had alot but im only lvl 9
and give you some EXP
can i get help with something
Is it worth wearing goggles or sunglasses or makes you easy to spot from a distance?
reduces your flashbang duration, reduces impact of rain, and can obfuscate your face a bit, i'd say its worth it, although there was a weird draw range bug where they were visible thru fog
i think that bug is resolved. i usually throw goggles on if i got em around
Ok someone told me not to use them they make you stand out
Not sure if googles have the same issue
there definitely was an issue with them a few wipes ago, i havent noticed it since
is the weapon preset screen busted rn? mine isnt working
Do the top one 100%
Is it worth buying an items case for 15000 euros? Have 7000 already
goggles every raid... helps darken the color of your face, sunglasses stand out in the darkness
i have 3
So yea?
you can convert roubles to euros also
what are keycards for?
well i wouldnt have 3 if they werent usefull
doors? labs cards are for going to labs
gotvha
you can put almost every other case inside an items case... i have 3 weapons cases in one of mine
Would someone be willing to help out this Noob later this evening? Highest level I got was last season and it was only 28. I'm a lvl 5 now and the tasks seem to be one of the harder things for me. Just starting out this season so i'm late to the jump
Just ask again when you get here... easier than trying to organize ssomething for later
Ok will do. Everytime I tried to Join a discord channel its been full.
Talk to yall later
I just had one of the best raids ever
JLH22 streams live on Twitch! Check out their videos, sign up to chat, and join their community.
I scavved reserve with a freaking little mosin and killed 3 players scavs, they had good weapons
then, I found 4 raiders on the ground
One had a labs keycard, the other had a freaking modded m4
they had tv rigs, caiman, attack2
and my stash is full
sorry sorry I've done some organising
I had to put slick armor and everything else on so I could fit another attack 2 inside
and then remove the tri-zips
why it wont fakin fit? i follow a guide and this thing isnt goin in now
it's complicated but I've done it
you took off the gastube
do you have a gas tube on your gun?
I don't wanna say bs
the other is the vanilla
what if he already had it lol
what
that's a handguard
yea
click on it
the other handguard you took off has a gas tube in it
oooh
yeah
the game makes you learn guns lol
np I guess
yea tru
this is the sexy mf I found in reserve
and I took some parts off
the recoil should be 63 I think
put a silencer on that muzzle brake
and i'd run it. i'd put a shift on it, and remove the tac device
just me, though
why do people insure their docs/sicc and the keys inside?
It's just bc it's in my backpack
@polar current i assume so when you get to the insurance screen it won't prompt you to insure
well
you could find 4 red keycards and have to put them in the alpha container
xd
imagine tho
what do you mean
how'd you get that kind of recoil stats
best in slot for the most part
i have the anodized buffer tube on it, which is 90k-ish
absolute laser
you need two found in raid for peacekeeper
...I can't even finish friend from the west part 2
hand over 6000 dollars to skier
because the game does not have anything better to ask
6000 is basically a mil
diligence
is finding 50k even possible
You buy the currency.
Money is nothing this wipe
like?
Tru
i usually keep only three guns in my stash and sell everything else, to start
and only one backpack stack. two at first to hold quest items in the second
quest items can even leak into the first stack
things like morphine I'd sell to therapist, too. 10k a pop
And you can more or less get a guaranteed 1-5mil on interchage this wipe
๐๏ธ ๐ ๐๏ธ
that
is going to get
me without guns
you have no idea how much I die in raid
@sharp terrace omg dude lol do you need halp
beauhornois what the hell is that
It's somewhere in canada
it has good servers I think
for a reference I ping 120 NY
I can work with it
you wanna see if we can play?
There's like 6 US servers that work with eu
I can show you customs lol
idk if you would like to play with me ire
you'd just block me like everyone else would do
don't be self-deprecating lol
or dump me after the first raid
or dump me after we finish playing
that's what most people do..
I'm helping you out with the concept of you failing raids in mind. but regardless, I believe in betterment. ๐
I'll help how I can, man
what
anyone wanna squad up and help me out im really new to the game and dont have much
I played with an older dude and raised him up to level 20 and he spat because he dipped tobacco.
on top of having a loud family life in the background
you're probably good, man
whun in tarnation
Do sniper scavs spawn "active" at start of raid, or can it take a minute or a few for them to be up and shootable?
Good question i usually see them at the very beginning
I've had 5 customs runs in a row checking all spots rushing start of raid and had 0 sightings and it just seems very unlucky
anyone got a low recoil sig mcx build?
Can someone tell me how not to get 1 shotted through cover?
