beginners-assistance

[dawn geyser]

Yes

Short answer

Victx is right

[celest ermine]

I heard from some people that shoreline is a safe map, but damn its huge

And scary

[smoky wing]

Prapor,skier they all want customs for first couple tasks

[dawn geyser]

If your focus is not quests, you can learn Shoreline

[iron epoch]

can someone help me find flash drives for my skier tasks

[smoky wing]

@iron epoch drawers and PCS

Keep in mind that flash drives are not inside pcs

But sticking from the usb slot

[celest ermine]

Honestly my focus is not to get lost and get one tapped

[smoky wing]

U have to grab them manually

[celest ermine]

I guess going into factory as a scav for my second ever raid wasn't the best idea

[smoky wing]

U gonna die a lot

But that's part of the game

[dawn geyser]

[smoky wing]

U have to accept that everything you take out with you to raid

[celest ermine]

So hear me out

[smoky wing]

Can and eventually will be lost

[celest ermine]

A speedy boi runs around a corner and destroys my head with a pistol

[smoky wing]

I wouldn't advise going factory with anythinf

Unless you know what u are doing

Unbalanced map

[dawn geyser]

There are only 2 people on factory

[celest ermine]

Sir I am 20 years old and I have no idea what I'm doing

In game or real life

[dawn geyser]

The hunter and the prey

That's factory

[smoky wing]

Yeah

[dawn geyser]

[smoky wing]

4 man squad vs lonely quest runner lmao

[celest ermine]

I found something that looks like a gold coin

And a bottle (?) of gunpowder

[smoky wing]

2 coins in the game

[celest ermine]

Shoved them right up my butt

[smoky wing]

Gp and bitcoin

[celest ermine]

It wasn't bitcoin

[smoky wing]

Then its gp

Worth 27k ish

[celest ermine]

Damn

Thats a lot, I guess

[smoky wing]

Close to zero

Tbh

[dawn geyser]

Yeah it's a lot

What do you mean close to zero

[smoky wing]

27k IF its found in raid?

The inflation is so high

[dawn geyser]

Sells like 22k to therapist or something along those lines

[smoky wing]

That water filter on interchange

[dawn geyser]

if not fir

[smoky wing]

Is 200k

U can grab a pistol

[celest ermine]

How do you guys even know this stuff?

[smoky wing]

Go to OLI interchange

Yoink 2 water filters

And enjoy 400k

[dawn geyser]

You'll remember it after getting it a couple times

[smoky wing]

Yeah

When u constantly loot and sell

You memorise the prices

[celest ermine]

I guess oli is that big shopping center, right?

[smoky wing]

Oli is the store in the big shopping center

Looks like home depot

But its green

[celest ermine]

And sorry for asking stuff that I can Google, but I have Google on phone and my gf is torturing animals in minecraft

Hate*

[smoky wing]

No worries

Interchange right now is basically full of money

All people rush tech stores

So u can just sneak into OLI

[celest ermine]

Is it worth playing on customs tho?

[smoky wing]

And grab filters, and other building materials

[celest ermine]

Because I kinda know that map

Watched a lot of yt videos

[smoky wing]

Yes and no, its good map, but most of the loot is in the hot zone

[celest ermine]

And can find my way around

[smoky wing]

Interchange on the other hand

Has ton of loot in hot zones

But a lot of loot in less populated areas

[celest ermine]

Thanks for all the info

[smoky wing]

I was playing as a SCAV 9min before extraction

[celest ermine]

I really appreciate it

[smoky wing]

And i was able to get 1 mln

From OLI alone

[celest ermine]

What's mln?

[smoky wing]

1 milion

[celest ermine]

And oh, btw

That server connection error

How often do you get that?

[smoky wing]

Depends, tarkov has issues with servers

So sometimes a lot

Sometimes not a single time in a week

[celest ermine]

I got it on my first raid lol

Somehow managed to extract

[smoky wing]

Yeah.. kinda have to get used to it

[celest ermine]

I was trying to loot a body near smugglers boat

And it just wouldn't search the backpack

And I assumed it was a connection problem

Went to the extraction point, and I was there for like 30 seconds

I got the error then I got disconnected, but somehow still got my stuff

[dawn geyser]

Your body was probably out a long time ago lol

[celest ermine]

But the thing is, I wasn't anywhere near the extraction point when that happened

[dawn geyser]

oh

[celest ermine]

I was on that road, sniper roadblock I think is called

[dawn geyser]

What day was this?

[celest ermine]

Today

[dawn geyser]

No idea then

[celest ermine]

Like 2-3 hours ago

And I just couldn't loot that damn body

And when I got to the extraction point, the timer showed up

But it got to 0 then dissatisfied

Dissappeared*

[cosmic tinsel]

was this the un roadblack exfil on customs

[celest ermine]

Nope, sniper roadblock

That's what I think that extract point is called

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah blue shipping crates stacked high?

[celest ermine]

Yup

[cosmic tinsel]

weird

[dawn geyser]

Oh you were a scav

[celest ermine]

Nope

I was pmc

[cosmic tinsel]

thats not an exfil for pmc

[dawn geyser]

There's no Pmc extraction there

[celest ermine]

I was on my way to smugglers boat, saw a dead body and couldn't loot it

I mean I opened it just fine, but I couldn't examine the backpack

[cosmic tinsel]

that part is somewhat common

[celest ermine]

And when I tried to open it again it didn't work

Went to the smugglers boat extract

[cosmic tinsel]

OH

[celest ermine]

And waited there for like 40 seconds

Then I got an error message, got disconnected

But my stuff was still there

[cosmic tinsel]

on you?

[celest ermine]

Yup

[cosmic tinsel]

when you got outta raid/

hm

sounds like tarkov bein tarkov

[celest ermine]

Everything

[cosmic tinsel]

and you getting lucky that they decided to let you keep your stuff

ha

[smoky wing]

Happend to me

As well 3h ago

Then after 5 min it reverted itself

[celest ermine]

Oh fuck

I'm scared to check

Honestly I'm surprised this community is so friendly

I'm used to rust and league of legends

[dawn geyser]

[smoky wing]

We are friendly only here

In raid i will pop your legs and see you bleed before killing you off

[dawn geyser]

Well this game is one of the most community driven games out there

The entire tarkov wiki and how to do quests is community

[cosmic tinsel]

theres a few tryhards that are dyin to talk trash here

but also we've all suffered the same trauma

[celest ermine]

And I will do the same to you, if I ever get the chance sir

[smoky wing]

Good

[supple pasture]

whats the cheapest weapon to suppress?

just for punisher part 2

[smoky wing]

^ mp5sd

500 usd for suppressed gun

[dawn geyser]

366 vepr AKM

[dire matrix]

vpo-215 supressed is like 20k

[smoky wing]

Or vepr ye

[dire matrix]

or the 366 km

[dawn geyser]

10k suppressor 12k gun

[supple pasture]

i like the vepr akm tgat shits fire

[dawn geyser]

22k for a semi-auto akm

suppressed

[cosmic tinsel]

agree w kwon

[dawn geyser]

[cosmic tinsel]

thats what i used

[dawn geyser]

Gratata

[supple pasture]

i used to take that into customs with 366 ap and 1v6 reshsla and his guards

[dawn geyser]

366 ap is broken

I'm glad there's no auto weapon that uses it

[cosmic tinsel]

man reshala picked up 2 more guards for you?

😄

[smoky wing]

@dawn geyser yeah

[supple pasture]

idk i cant count bro

[cosmic tinsel]

or one more guard i guess

[smoky wing]

And all my friends laugh at me

For using 1mln outfit

[supple pasture]

i killed all of them lets put it that way

[smoky wing]

And VEPR lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

its so good

esp early wipe

[supple pasture]

^^

baller ass gun

"oh hes got a vepr " blasts you in the fucking face with 366 ap

[smoky wing]

Great gun

You can even use it stock

And have 20k scav killer

That nobody will pick up

[indigo scaffold]

wait wouldnt ppl pick up verp even if stock

[dawn geyser]

Not everyone

Less likely to come back

The second they see a better gun

The veprs going on the floor

[supple pasture]

^^

[smoky wing]

Most people dont

[supple pasture]

very cheap gun

[smoky wing]

Its not worth it

[supple pasture]

unless its pimped tf out

[smoky wing]

I love shotguns for naked runs

Too big to fit most backpacks

[supple pasture]

in that case they just take attachments if they are smart

[smoky wing]

Nobody picks them up

So in 20 shotguns lost

I get 17 in insurance

[supple pasture]

17/20 chANCE

[indigo scaffold]

idk im kinda fucked up rn, since i legit run out of space n have no idea what to sell exactly :D

[smoky wing]

@supple pasture those 3 shotguns are probably scavs

[supple pasture]

buy eod if you plan on playing more

very worth it

[smoky wing]

Its insance how good shotgun is

Especially on interchange

[indigo scaffold]

once some more cash is acquired i will get it for sure

[open rain]

@indigo scaffold Sell guns you wont use in the next 3ish raids

they're the worst $/slot in the game pretty much so just zoop them

save attachments you'll use though

[indigo scaffold]

well basically strip most scopes/lights n sell right

[open rain]

yeah pretty much

save RK1/2, Shift/Express though

[supple pasture]

its legit not possible to run out of space on eod unless you have mad gear fear

[open rain]

lies

its super easy lol

[indigo scaffold]

watch me fill it up in 1 day

maybe with cases its impossible

[open rain]

still very possible with cases

[indigo scaffold]

but im lvl 7 so no cases for me

[supple pasture]

ok maybe not impossible but still inless youre a fucking hoarder youre not gonna be full very easily

i need an items case

[rustic helm]

can confirm, am hoarder

[open rain]

I only run fat loadouts and im completely out of room

[rustic helm]

with eod

[frozen sundial]

its impossible my friend is like lvl 42 rn and he never run out of space he is non eod

[supple pasture]

is it worth getting an items case or just wait to get thicc items case

[frozen sundial]

u just need to have good inventory management

[open rain]

icases are fine to spend on

[indigo scaffold]

feels like playing tetris on hardcore with the stash tbh

[supple pasture]

lmao

[frozen sundial]

tetris is the best

[frozen sundial]

what lvl r u

[indigo scaffold]

also, how tf do u figure out attachments

[rustic helm]

i don't understand how i ever did it with the standard stash

[indigo scaffold]

n shit

[supple pasture]

34

i have like 7 mil

[open rain]

@indigo scaffold workbench in hideout unlocks preset menu, which makes it easier to see the differences and how to mod

otherwise just link search a part and view stats (after you unlock flea)

[indigo scaffold]

ah ye maybe i should get that

[rustic helm]

modding can be pretty confusing for beginners

[open rain]

Modding isn't really possible until level 10, I mean you can maybe add a sight or very basic forward grip but thats the limit

[supple pasture]

modding is fun asf, kititng out guns is super cool

[cunning notch]

should i sell my thicc items case i got from a quest and buy gpus with the money?

[cosmic sorrel]

i need help.

[open rain]

no

[supple pasture]

absolutely not

[smoky wing]

Nope

Just run interchange over and over

[supple pasture]

^^

[smoky wing]

Got 50 gpus , never bought a single one

[open rain]

^ just dont hatchet run pls

[cosmic sorrel]

i tried to move my game file from my hard drive to my ssd and now within seconds i get a "failed anticheat"

[smoky wing]

Use shotgun or a pistol

If u want to go naked

[supple pasture]

uninstall reinstall

[cosmic sorrel]

uninstalled and reinstalled and its doing the same thing

[cunning notch]

im shit at pvp and interchange

[supple pasture]

what anti cheat does this game use again

[cunning notch]

ive tried learning it

[smoky wing]

So?

[supple pasture]

battleeye?

[open rain]

be

[indigo scaffold]

whats wrong w those

[smoky wing]

Just go to tech stores

With a nice spawn

[supple pasture]

only pussies do it

[smoky wing]

You wont even meet 1 guy

[cosmic sorrel]

i think i messed up moving the battleye folder but cant find it

[smoky wing]

Before you snatch 1 or 2 gpus for yourself

[rustic helm]

i'm scared to run interchange solo lmao

[supple pasture]

yeah you def did, if you uninstalled and then reinstalled to your ssd it wouldve been better

[open rain]

Hatchet running as a new player (like level 5-15) isn't an issue - you're just trying to find a gun and maybe some loot from cabinets or something.

its an issue when you're level 35 with 15m in your stash running to the highest value spawns in the game to shove shit in your ass and DC

[cosmic sorrel]

i just did that now and im still getting the issue

[smoky wing]

@cunning notch techno and techlight alone

[quaint walrus]

holy

[rustic helm]

i respect the blueberry loadout

[smoky wing]

@rustic helm leftovers from pk quest

[supple pasture]

is it worth turning in those 3 graphics cards

[indigo scaffold]

wait

[supple pasture]

for farming part 3

[smoky wing]

Figured if i wanna go naked with a shotgun, i might as well bring the bodyarmour with me lol

[cunning notch]

i wouldnt even have that much space for the loot lol

[indigo scaffold]

with EOD u get the 2nd biggest container right

[cunning notch]

in my pouch

[smoky wing]

@indigo scaffold ye

[cosmic sorrel]

@supple pasture i dont understand why it would be an issue after an uninstall and install

[rustic helm]

nope, biggest

[smoky wing]

@rustic helm kappa

Is bigger

[supple pasture]

m1 mega good, 4 aquamari barter trade

[rustic helm]

oh i read that as stash oops

[supple pasture]

idk, def a BE thing tho

[celest ermine]

Is it worth running shotguns?

[smoky wing]

@supple pasture yeah its awesome

[rustic helm]

i like shotguns

[smoky wing]

But i run on my insurance for last 12 days now

[frozen sundial]

Fking gun bug

always happens to me

[supple pasture]

shotguns are mad fun, theyre realistic int his game like you can tap some guy from 30m with a saiga

[smoky wing]

@celest ermine shotguns are amazing

Especially modded

[celest ermine]

Oh yeah, I just learned there are bolt action shotguns

[supple pasture]

course there are lmao

[celest ermine]

Biggest shock of my life

[supple pasture]

mp-133, ks-23

[rustic helm]

i downed a 3 man as a scav with an mp153 at shoreline yesterday, shotguns are always fun

[smoky wing]

Ignore the valday scope

[supple pasture]

mp153 is baller

[open rain]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/658063537893146648/805258269593305099/unknown.png IC is just fat loot, even if you skip middle theres tons of money in Oli

[dawn geyser]

Valday on that is

oh nvm you said it

[supple pasture]

alpha asf thats what

[celest ermine]

Do you guys build your own weapons or you buy them already build?

[smoky wing]

@dawn geyser it was for testing in hideout

@celest ermine u make them

[supple pasture]

get those ap slugs and start sniping

[rustic helm]

build them

budget aks are fun

[indigo scaffold]

whats the ledx btw

[smoky wing]

Here is the shopping cart for best mp153 u can get

[indigo scaffold]

nvm i just google

[smoky wing]

Ignore the valday again...

[rustic helm]

DTK1, tango down, recoil pad, cobra sight, ak12 pistol grip, good to go

[celest ermine]

Ledx is that thing that looks like a cockring, right?

[supple pasture]

some shit for a quest, medstation 3, and some other shit, very rare not on shoreline tho shoreline is ledx galore

[rustic helm]

lol yes

medcamp on woods too

[supple pasture]

bummer its on shoreline mostly i fucking hate that map, all my quests are on it im so tired of it

[smoky wing]

Lmao

I just killed a scav player

He had 4 water filters

[indigo scaffold]

im still stuck on customs n woods

[smoky wing]

In his backpack

[supple pasture]

punisher part 1 and 2, literally every peacekeeper quest

[smoky wing]

Free 700k

Yoink

[celest ermine]

Poor guy

[supple pasture]

free superwater for aquamaris**

[open rain]

Shoreline is kinda ass for Ledx rn

[rustic helm]

playerscavs seething

[smoky wing]

And that toz with 0 ammo

[supple pasture]

take the toz

[smoky wing]

Definition of sadness

[supple pasture]

big money maker

[open rain]

Shoreline is like 4-5 dedicated ledx spawns spread across the entire resort, IC's medical storage has 4 in one room

[celest ermine]

How long did it took for you guys to actually learn the maps?

[supple pasture]

i always thought thast thing was like a mosin when i was new

[smoky wing]

@open rain yeah

[supple pasture]

10 or so raids depending on map

[dire matrix]

east 110 has 6 spots that can spawn a ledx alone

[rustic helm]

i learned the maps one at a time pretty much, took like a month to really learn customs

[smoky wing]

But ultra needs a hella expensive key tho

[dire matrix]

226 has 4 spots

[opal moth]

yeah id say 10 as well. It is a lot easier to learn the maps with someone who knows them well

[dire matrix]

and theres a bunch of others spread throughout the resort

[rustic helm]

i still don't know reserve very well but that's cause i absolutely despise it

[open rain]

@dire matrix 110 only has 2 dedicated spawns

[supple pasture]

i had no idea how to get around reserve, saw a youtube video and realized how easy that shit is

[open rain]

it has 8 med spawns, all of which can spawn a ledx

[opal moth]

yeah lol its confusing at first but really easy to get down after a few runs

[dire matrix]

unless they changed it theres 2 in the shower and 3 on the floor

[celest ermine]

That's the map with the big helicopter, right?

[rustic helm]

yep

[supple pasture]

yes

and the big ass dome

[open rain]

theres 3 high tier med on the floor but only 1 dedicated from what I've seen and heard.

[celest ermine]

There is a dome on shoreline as well, right?

[rustic helm]

same dome, different perspective

[supple pasture]

thats actually just reserve

[celest ermine]

Pretty sure I saw a dome on yt

[open rain]

if there were 5-6 dedicated you'd have a ledx like 60% of the time, when its closer to 15%

[clever copper]

you can see the dome on reserve from shoreline

[celest ermine]

Wait really?

[supple pasture]

its like a cameo ig

[dire matrix]

wiki says 3 on the floor and 3 in the shower

[rustic helm]

it'd be funny if cliff descent exfil made you load into a shoreline raid lmao

[dire matrix]

in 110

[open rain]

@dire matrix its wrong

[dire matrix]

and so you are the commanding force on where loot can spawn?

[open rain]

its an issue with people mistaking a lucky high tier loot spawn proc'ing a Ledx and an actual ledx spawn

no

[wind gulch]

they planned to make maps connected since the beginning

[clever copper]

The wiki is correct 99% of the time

[supple pasture]

thats the 1% ig

[dire matrix]

thats how shoreline works. any med spawn can be a ledx, but theres also a bunch of spots that only a ledx can spawn

like 110 226 and 301

[open rain]

@dire matrix thats with every map, I've run 110 like 80 times this wipe, only seen a ledx in like two of those locations

[dire matrix]

ledx can only spawn on interchange and shoreline. like how aesa can only spawn on reserve

they also nerfed loot this wipe

[wind gulch]

labs?

[frozen sundial]

interchnage shoreline?

[dire matrix]

last wipe id go to resort and get at least one ledx every raid

usually 2

[open rain]

they nerfed the dedicated spawns since then

[celest ermine]

Is there a limit to how many pmcs can load into a raid?

[open rain]

thats what im saying

[fleet mauve]

how much can i sell labs keycard for after theripist runs out of stock

[open rain]

there used to be like 2-3 dedicated in each of the ledx rooms, now its only 110, 226, and 301

[dire matrix]

at the start of wipe they lowered spawn changes by 40% i believe

but the spawn points still exist

[open rain]

they buffed them again

no

trust me

[dire matrix]

i have no reason to trust you

[open rain]

ok go run shoreline some ig

[dire matrix]

im gonna believe the wiki because its run by people with access to tarkovs api

[open rain]

lul

You can literally send a SS of a ledx spawning in a random med spawn on shoreline and it will get added as a ledx spawn, even if its not dedicated, which is my point

[little raptor]

whats a fast way to get this up quick without looting for food

[open rain]

@little raptor just eat/drink when you need food

[dire matrix]

eat food in raid

[little raptor]

nah ik that but i mean whats cheap to take it

like mayo to drain it or something

[dire matrix]

just eat food when you find it

[open rain]

Theres no point in saying a ledx can spawn somewhere if its not dedicated, since you might as well list every single med spawn on the map

[dire matrix]

or take food into raid and eat it there

[naive atlas]

@little raptor I grinded it using mayo and water

[marsh ingot]

@open rain r u on crack

[frozen sundial]

eat all the stuff u findi n raid

[open rain]

@marsh ingot ?

[marsh ingot]

sanitars room on shoreline has 6 spots alone that spawn ledx

[little raptor]

ima just do mayo and water as i need 2 points to level it up

[valid hatch]

good bunker raiders kit?

[final hill]

I really love getting a scav that doesn't have a buttstock on the ak so its impossible to use 🙃

[open rain]

@marsh ingot I've run 110 like literally 80+ times this wipe, I've only seen two of those six ever have a ledx, and I've found a lot of ledx there

[marsh ingot]

confirmation bias

[open rain]

yes, but a decent sample size considering dedicated spawns have a ~6% spawnrate

[marsh ingot]

two words Tarkov WIKI

[open rain]

I've contributed to the wiki before, I know how it works lol

Thats what I'm saying the issue is

Go find me the image of all 6 of those having a ledx at some point

[marsh ingot]

ok then you should know if the room has 6 spots that can spawn a ledx u running that many times and only seeing 2 is just irrelevant

[open rain]

?

[dire matrix]

but just because you have only seen ledx in certain spots doesnt mean they cant spawn anywhere else

[open rain]

yes

thats true, but when I run something close to 100 times and a 5% chance doesn't pop on 4 of those spots

thats ridiculous

[open rain]

theres no ledx in that pic

its a red circle my guy

[dire matrix]

ive only seen ledx there

[open rain]

I understand what you're saying

[marsh ingot]

thats from the wiki

[open rain]

those are all med spawns

[cosmic tinsel]

ive found ledxs in two of the 3 shower circles

[little raptor]

bruh

[open rain]

^

[marsh ingot]

that have ledx

[cosmic tinsel]

and i saw general sam get two of the floor circles in his video today

in one raid

[open rain]

new video?

[cosmic tinsel]

todays video

check it

[open rain]

👍

[marsh ingot]

all those circles spawn ledx

[celest ermine]

Do I have to eat food when not in a raid? In actually scared my guy might die from starvation

Is that a think or am I just too paranoid?

[open rain]

your energy regens when not in-raid

[cosmic tinsel]

you should watch your energy and hydration, but you regen, not lose, outside of raid

[open rain]

drains in-raid, if its at 0 while in-raid for a prolonged time you will instantly fall over

[cosmic tinsel]

you also get xp from consuming food/drink, so better to do in raid if possible

[open rain]

I think they fixed out of raid eating

recently

[celest ermine]

But is it worth it to take food in raids?

[cosmic tinsel]

interesting

[bold kernel]

can someone run ultra medical with me i need a ledx but dont have key

[open rain]

so it contributes, but I'd still do it in-raid

[celest ermine]

Or do I just eat whatever I find

[cosmic tinsel]

this only occurs if thorax/head health hits 0 AFAIK

[open rain]

If you know the map and you know where food spawns you dont need to bring food/water

[open rain]

@cosmic tinsel with dehydration it'll drain hp, with energy you wont lose health but you'll just die instantly

[celest ermine]

I have 2 raids under my belt

[fallen ginkgo]

anyone wants to run shoreline/customs? Im a new lvl 7 player looking for guide/buddies

[cosmic tinsel]

source, and the fact that i just spam meds when dehydrated/deenergied

[celest ermine]

One was 20 seconds tho, sows it count?

[open rain]

you can live infinitely by using goldenstar

[celest ermine]

Does**

[open rain]

since it resets the 0 energy timer

[autumn helm]

WHAT TF IS A GOLDEN STAR ????

caps

[cunning notch]

painkiller

[autumn helm]

ah

[celest ermine]

Isn't that like something you rub on yourself?

[open rain]

yup lmao

[celest ermine]

Kinda like lube

[median moss]

How contested is the RB-BK room on reserve? Just found a key but im level 6

[autumn helm]

live vasoline

[supple pasture]

icase acquired

[celest ermine]

So I heard labs is scary

[open rain]

@median moss its a hotspot, everyone wants to hit it, but its worth keeping the key

[autumn helm]

where do you get all the cases from buying them?

[open rain]

its only 60k, which is cheap for what it does

[celest ermine]

Idk if thats a flex or not because idk how much these things are worth

[autumn helm]

the marked room key on reserve?

[median moss]

ight, Ill just wait until I have better shit. Thanks @open rain

[autumn helm]

is that what yall are talking about?

[cunning notch]

btw why are 2 reserve marked keys so cheap but the one in the bunker is expensive

[dire matrix]

because the one in the bunker is newer and rarer

[celest ermine]

Maybe because its harder to find that one?

[autumn helm]

whats the key for the reserve bunker cages?

[lusty glacier]

do u guys ever feel complacent instead of happy whenever you find out a player you killed is a lower level than you?

[bold kernel]

too busy getting destroyed as a level 1 to get to this point

[median moss]

^

[lusty glacier]

i say this as it is my first wipe, level 30

[dawn geyser]

Nice!

[autumn helm]

guys found in raid moonshine keep till i unlock fleamarket or sell to theripist now? im half a lvl away from flea market?

[dawn geyser]

You're doing hot

[naive atlas]

Lower the better, yes get that pocket watch...

[rustic helm]

level 30 and first wipe? that's pretty damn good

[lusty glacier]

um is it

its only like 2 months in

[dire matrix]

thats pretty good for being brand new to the game

[autumn helm]

guys found in raid moonshine keep till i unlock fleamarket or sell to theripist now? im half a lvl away from flea market?

[dire matrix]

keep

its worth double trader value on the flea

[bold kernel]

anyone need help

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, its nakeds/less geareds for me now that im lvl 51, but theres kills that i take no joy in

[lusty glacier]

its just when i kill someone lower level, i can tell that they are worse and i didnt learn anything\

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[cunning notch]

tbh i only feel bad when its somone under level 15

[lusty glacier]

and when i meet a chad, i usually die

i need to kill better players :((

[autumn helm]

if somone would run a raid on woods with me to help me complete my tasks it would be hella appreciated tbh @bold kernel

[median moss]

I can always seem to hit people but my ammo is trash and I cant get better ammo without getting kills :/

[lusty glacier]

when is right time to use level 5/6 armour etc?

[wind gulch]

learn how real chads move and peek, use good ammo and you'll be set on killing chads

[dire matrix]

when you are comfortable and can afford it

[median moss]

The best ammo I have is like 30rnds of BP

[lusty glacier]

idk what affording is

[dire matrix]

you can run korund from prapor

[wind gulch]

you can get better ammo without any killing at all and you know it lol

[dire matrix]

its pretty cheap and a good starter t5 armor

[wind gulch]

it is called traders and flea markets

[median moss]

Im level 6

[celest ermine]

Is it worth spending time with online maps so I can learn the maps better?

[wind gulch]

then do tasks, you will be lv10 in hours

[lusty glacier]

korund doesnt match my aesthetic man

[median moss]

Im tryna do the jaeger one but woods is hard man

[dawn geyser]

Get a defender-2

=p

[wind gulch]

you shouldve unlocked jaeger at less than lv 5 tho

should be the first thing you do

[median moss]

I know that now

I didnt

[lusty glacier]

wait i just realised im wearing a level 5 tactec in that photo

[cosmic tinsel]

is it the beater from the other day 😄

[lusty glacier]

so expensive

no its not better

[verbal summit]

anyone wanna play im lvl 5 but experienced with the game

[supple pasture]

i bought it with 15000 euros, i already had 8500 so i ended up paying 1.2 mil ish

[lusty glacier]

still better than my M1 rig

[celest ermine]

So basically 2.5 mil ish?

[lusty glacier]

does that app account for how fast my armour will be destroyed?

[cosmic tinsel]

no, depends on whats shooting you

armor is COMPLICATED

[wind gulch]

use tarkov battle buddy, they gotve armors figured out

[lusty glacier]

das what im asking about

[celest ermine]

What is that?

Is it like a phone app?

[wind gulch]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.veritas.battlebuddy&hl=en&gl=US

[wind gulch]

then that's what you need

[lusty glacier]

im asking if that app is accounting for how fast my armour gets destroyed

[celest ermine]

Pretty sure it depends on the weapon/bullets

[supple pasture]

also depends on material i believe

ceramic gets shit on while stuff like titan doesnt take as much dmg

[celest ermine]

I woke up at 8 am and I'm tired af and I swear to God its so hard to resist not going into a raid

[cunning notch]

depend on bullet the pen/dmg, armor level, what material its made out of

[celest ermine]

Wait, aren't all be body armors the same? Like can there be 2 identical body armors but made out of different materials?

[cunning notch]

the same level?

[wind gulch]

no, but different armors are made of different materials

[celest ermine]

Oh nvm, I thought there were different variants of each body armor

[wind gulch]

and diferent materials affect repairability and duration

[celest ermine]

can i add people in-game?

[celest ermine]

i just checked and my stuff is still there

[quaint heath]

anyone can help me with prapor's quest search mission? am level 16 EU

[lusty glacier]

is this good sight for m4?

[dawn geyser]

Not the best

Not the worst

I'll say below average

Problem with it is the 1x scope is more like a 2x

The 4x has a pretty bad reticle

[lusty glacier]

is valday good or is there other options?

[dawn geyser]

Really soft

Valday is very good

Clean sight picture

Good reticle

I'm assuming you're talking about mid-long range?

[cunning notch]

tbh there arent any good mid range 2x scopes in tarkov

[dawn geyser]

Only one I like is the monster 2x

[lusty glacier]

what would you use for interchange and shoreline?

[eternal idol]

Any good mid tier armor you guys use? lvl 17

[supple pasture]

zhuk-3 is honestly sleeper

it repairs so fucking well and it costs nothing to do it\

[iron rune]

but it aint stopping much

[supple pasture]

yeah i was gonna say that

you could do the armored rigs and shit

[strange karma]

If you’re level 17 you should probably just run potato sack 6B3TM unless you’ve got some good cash

[median moss]

@nimble gale Customs is a good map to start in my opinion, its very linear and there are a lot of identifiable areas.

Its the only map I know well

[nimble gale]

thats what i have been trying

[median moss]

what map are you using

[nimble gale]

just found map genie

[median moss]

Yeah thats what I use

Its easier if you have 2 screens

[nimble gale]

i have 3

haha

[nimble gale]

[lusty glacier]

When should I turn on my flashlights on interchange? I have 3

Only in fights?

[prisma fjord]

@lusty glacier preferably

[median moss]

I played interchange once and got sniped right out of spawn

[prisma fjord]

unless you are a fearless chad who wants to scare people prior

[paper prawn]

i like to use the technique flash and dash you turn on your flash light in a dudes eyes and run away

you cannot see shit

[proud falcon]

Anyone want to help me get 15 scav kills on woods

[gilded tundra]

I need help with Delivery from the Past on the factory part if anyone is down

[supple pasture]

that quest is so hard as a beginner holy shit, so much luck involved

[strange karma]

the best luck for delivery from the past is to go as juiced as you can and let everyone else death rush that first couple mins while you watch angles

then go do quest

but if u get forklift spawn gg ur done u have to fight

if ur poor and can't afford too juiced

just buy zsh with faceshield

and like a gzhel

that quest is mega bullshit going back to customs so you dont wanna repeat it

[supple pasture]

it took me 11 tries to finally get the good spawn and get it done i was so fuicking happy

[gilded tundra]

I was hoping to get a dice man and cheese it

Five*

[lusty glacier]

cheapest way to reduce recoil?

[dire matrix]

better buffer tube or upper receiver

better suppressor is good as well

[cosmic hornet]

its low enough already LMAO thats almost vector recoil levels

[dawn geyser]

I'm assuming you don't have traders up - that's as low as it's going to go

[dire matrix]

vector recoil is 20 less recoil what

that gun has a lot of recoil for an m4

[cosmic hornet]

base vector is 33~

[dire matrix]

with literally any mod the vector is 23 or less

[cosmic hornet]

and i said base vector

[dire matrix]

most meta m4 is 37 recoil

[cosmic hornet]

meta players always die to nades

[dire matrix]

you can get it to 29 but the ergo is horrible

i never die to nades

[cosmic hornet]

sure you dont

[dire matrix]

theyre so easy to avoid

[cosmic hornet]

yea

sureeeee

[dire matrix]

ive only died to one grenade and it was because it was silent

airbursts are deadly tho

[cosmic hornet]

thought you never died to a nade before

[lusty glacier]

is that m4 build worth using?

[dire matrix]

its a hyperbole

obviously i well NEVER die to a nade

it just doesnt happen very often

i die more to raider grenades than pmc grenades

[copper basin]

I mean I got 35 recoil 70 Erg with 60 rounder on m4

Think that's the best balance

[dire matrix]

loud?

[copper basin]

Yep

[dire matrix]

yeah, i cant stand loud

its a personal thing tho

not saying its bad

[woeful pilot]

This killing people within 25m with bolt action rifles is rough

[supple pasture]

the flash doesnt show with a suppressor on right

shit makes my head hurt

[supple pasture]

go factory with mosin

[woeful pilot]

I have been 10 raids i got one so far

Being bad is rough

[dire matrix]

use vpo-215 with ap ammo

its better than the mosin

[supple pasture]

true actually way cheaper too id imagine

[woeful pilot]

Ive tried the VPO as well keep on getting hits but no kills need to work on my aim I guess and go for headshots

[dire matrix]

you need the .366 ap ammo

any other ammo is garbage

[woeful pilot]

Im running the AP ammo

[dire matrix]

hit head then

it can one tap thorax through level 4 armor

thats how i did it

[woeful pilot]

War of attrition it's

[inland cliff]

How much does Bitcoin go for?

[supple pasture]

somewhere around 700k or less rn

i think this morning it was 660?

[inland cliff]

should I sell it?

[supple pasture]

yes

[inland cliff]

kk

[supple pasture]

sell it to therapist

you cant sell them on the flea

[inland cliff]

oh you cant?

[supple pasture]

no

because the sale price is determined by the irl bitcoin price

plus a huge math equation

[inland cliff]

ok, thanks 👍

[paper prawn]

[barren oasis]

so sell it

[storm plover]

if i understand this correctly, if i upgraded my stash then the next wipe comes, since i purchased standard ed. that means the wipe will revert my whole stash size to standard ed size?

[paper prawn]

its not found in raid

[barren oasis]

to dealers then

[paper prawn]

fuck that

im gonna run it all

[agile forge]

A wipe resets your character back to where it started, as if you just bought a new account

[verbal summit]

yes

im lvl 10 but im not new if anyone wants to play

[bold kernel]

whens the next wipe? i just bought this today

[storm plover]

makes me think if i should upgrade the stash or not 🤔

and just make my loot come and go

[paper prawn]

asi it could be 2 months or 7 months away

[verbal summit]

[paper prawn]

[bold kernel]

@barren oasis 3 man squad #25

[little rune]

lvl 14 new ish, only know customs, can i get someone to run a quest with me?

i lied, 2 quests

pretty close to each other

[bold kernel]

can u find thicc case in raid

[golden loom]

no only from the quests

also even if you could you cant put them in backpacks anymore

[paper prawn]

fuck i just had to drop my backpack that had a med case in it

[golden loom]

did you get it back?

[paper prawn]

nah i didnt have my bp insured

[golden loom]

f

[paper prawn]

yeah i should now

[dire matrix]

even if you did it doesnt give you loot back

[little rune]

why you drop it?

[golden loom]

honestly med case is one of the best to find in raid if you have kappa

cause you can keep your keys at the bottom and put all the meds in your kappa into the medcase

[paper prawn]

i had my leg blacked out and i was right next to manhole

[little rune]

ah

f

[paper prawn]

i would have gotten droppe

d

[dire matrix]

you cant put cases into your secure container

unless its changed recently

[golden loom]

i think you can put some in

[dire matrix]

just tried with my gamma

none of my cases fit

[wispy glade]

just docs sicc and other small ones

[golden loom]

ah

[dire matrix]

no meds ammo mags

kappa has even more restrictions on items

like red rebel cant fit into kappa

[golden loom]

weird

[dire matrix]

bit it can fit into gamma and epsilon

[golden loom]

i would have assumed all secure containers would have the same restrictions

[dire matrix]

no, theyre tighter for kappa

which is weird

they also added restrictions recently. you used to be able to have a gun in your container

[golden loom]

yeah like you do all this stuff for 3 extra slots (if you had eod) but then you end up not being able to put as much inside

[dire matrix]

so you could have a thermal gun in your butt and put it up there if you think you are gonna die

[golden loom]

yeah ik people used to put thermals on mounts and stuff to get around that but i think they also removed that

[dire matrix]

yup, there was even a bug where you had a thermal on your gun but it was actually in your container

so nobody could take it

[tight vault]

anyone wanna play with me and another my first wipe and his? NAE

I got 300k now yessir

[paper prawn]

shock do u play reserve?

[tight vault]

Yes but not rn bc I dont have any decent kits

[paper prawn]

ah k

[marble pumice]

yo what should i do with dogtags? just sell them or are there any trades that are worth it?

[paper prawn]

id just sell them

[marble pumice]

aight

[marsh ingot]

150 lvl 15 plus gets an items case

i got too 150 and never was able to get one due to people buying the mout before i have a chance to buy them for barter so i sold them for 2 mil

[nimble gale]

thanks again for you guys helping me i got through my first scav with out dieing

@median moss @dawn geyser thanks

[dawn geyser]

Woohoo! Nice!

[nimble gale]

[dawn geyser]

Survive is a win in my book

[nimble gale]

exactly and some of my bullets even hit someone

[paper prawn]

100k aint bad

[nimble gale]

ya would have like too loot more but had a guy trying to kill me

[paper prawn]

my best scav run was like 500k

[nimble gale]

i sold all the things the scav had plus some stuff i found on a dead body

and stumbled on a stash

[paper prawn]

k

[nimble gale]

i felt accomplished will try again in tomorrow once i get the controls down better i can try a non scav run

wish there was like a practice area so i can learn how to move and understand the controls with out having to wait 20 minutes or have the chance of losing what i have

[paper prawn]

scav case is a few mill rn tf

[fallen glen]

offline mode

[nimble gale]

thats a thing?

[paper prawn]

scavs dont really spawn anymore

[fallen glen]

bruh

[paper prawn]

i havent found scavs in offline mode

[fallen glen]

click on the maps with ur pmc

[paper prawn]

i put swarm or what ever for spawns

[fallen glen]

[paper prawn]

yeah i do

oh shit do they

[fiery crown]

[NAW] Need someone to help me learn the game. Trying to make money and get loot on Customs. DM me. Im level 12

[paper prawn]

cobra im level 10 i recommend go to reserve and learn reserve

[merry flax]

Why can't I extract from the woods?

Every extraction point I go to doesn't work

[crisp dagger]

iu just got a vase in a raid and dont have the flea, should i sell it to dealer or wait until flea

[little ether]

can anyone help me with woods task to find yaeger

[paper prawn]

i got swarmed

2 nakeds ran at me

[tight vault]

they all have rules except for one

You have to have certain things

[strange karma]

it's not worth that much just vendor it to therapist

[paper prawn]

ive killed 1 player under level 10

[bold kernel]

Does anyone know to play this gameS. I don’t get it

[strange karma]

what dont u get? gonna have to be less generic than that

[bold kernel]

I just joined and died. I don’t know what to do

[strange karma]

again, that is super general

[bold kernel]

That’s what happen

[strange karma]

this game is what you make of it. go in, kill things, get loot/do quests, extract

but how you do that is up to you

i get that, but you didnt ask a question

do you have an actual question that can be answered?

[bold kernel]

Can you group with people who will mentor you in game play or no

[strange karma]

yes

[bold kernel]

How

[strange karma]

there are official mentors assigned by the devs named sherpas and they can be reached on the sherpa discord or through maybe DMs

there's also plenty in the community who will be down to help you

[bold kernel]

Is this a good place or should I be asking elsewhere

[strange karma]

if you want general questions answered, this is a fine place

if you want a legit sherpa, you should probably checkout the sherpa discord

[bold kernel]

Ok

[strange karma]

if you want someone to carry you and no sherpas are around, say ur a noob in the LFG channel and ask for help

[bold kernel]

What LFG mean

[strange karma]

looking for group

[bold kernel]

Oh ok

I will try your suggestions

Thanks

[strange karma]

im gonna tell you now, if you wanna get good at this game, you should get in the habit of looking things up and figuring it out on your own first

ask for help when you're stuck

legit stuck

[bold kernel]

Where to look? On google?
