Need a good map resource, preferably on mobile since my 2nd monitor crapped out
That one is confusing for a new player
So just a reference -
If you shoot the buffest guy wearing the best armor with
7.62 BP ; You can drop him in 4-6 shots
If you do the same thing with
7.62 PS ; you'll drop him in 12-13 shots
how its what i learnt and it was much easier then any of the other ones
That's how important it is
I'm taking a screenshot of that so I can remember
I know we are throwing a bunch of shit at you but don't worry no one expects you to learn everything in a day @bold kernel
This game is a confusing mess if you just go in solo, no help from anyone
Lucid when you have some ammo in your stash - go to https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics and ctrl+f and serach up the ammo
The more green the better
Double tap O
Check your extraction points
Any ones with question marks are chance of not being there
Some are locked behind doors
Chance of not being there?
Wait so i kill a player scav that had been shooting on all of the other scavs and then the normal scav just kills me
@bold kernel for your first few raids I'd suggest putting a pistol and 2-3 mags on your guy, going to customs, turning on offline mode & PVE with "as online" scavs
Learn the locations, extracts etc
You need to try something else
Mhm
That is fucked up
xD
Just betray me like that
So how it works ; is he has to KILL one of the NPC scavs first
HE fucking blacked both of my arms
Then there's a hcance the bot scav won't shoot you
If he just shoots the bot scav and you kill him before he finishes the bot scav off
He did
I believe he'll agro onto you
I saw him fucking headshot a guy
( but he may still shoot you because get tarkoved )
I am trying to do a 0 to hero run on reserve
Just always assume you'll get scav tagged everytime you shoot a person
I heard there were npcs that are pretty much bosses is that true?
But it is impossible bc spawning infront of two scavs
Yeah they have almost double the health pool and have better aim
Better gear as well
But that also means better loot when you kill them
How can I find them
How hard is it to level up?
Not too hard if you focus on quests
Go to the Skills section on your character screen you'll see how far away you are
Ayeee the game decided to switch monitor
I saw someone say something about emotes in #beginners-chat
How can I do emotes is there a bind I have to set up?
Is sp 6 good?
Visualization of all ammo types in Escape from Tarkov, along with maps and other great tools
@bold kernel ok so there's really no reason to use voice lines but if you want to
Go into a raid
Double press Y
Navigate to whatever voice line you want
Right click on it
Select the Fn key you want
Done
Cool
No space?
Prop?
...any tips on how to not scav spawn directly in front of a streamer on Twitch? Jesus... I was dead before I could move
And i got heavy bleeding
Eh not really it's just luck
I had an m700
@dawn geyser I need some help from you
Rare on scavs but not expensive
What's up
I want to make money
While having fun
My go to way of making money rn is scav, hit all the caches on customs and gtfo
Sure it gets me 200-350k per run but it's the most boring ass thing ever
But I'm not good enough at the game to kill thicc people
So how can I make some cash while also having fun and not dying of boredom

You can try and learn Scav on Reserve
Look for raiders (Around train station)
You can fight raiders and it'll probably make a lot more money if you get out
I was thinking of that because you spawn in early af
Idk the 3 times I did scav runs on reserve* I had 40 minutes left
Do I have to wait to spawn randomly?
@bold kernel as a scav the time you spawn in at is random
As a pmc the time you spawn in at is the start of the raid
Locations for PMCs are set
Locations for scavs are random I think
A good scav run on reserve can make ~600k
Since there's chances of scavs spawning with Hex armor
Hex armor itself is ~400k

I have a hemostatic does it stop heavy bleeding?
Yes, but I would keep it for hideout to craft Salewa
I am already dead i was just asking
If you're stuck on Therapist quest
Bruuh
Also you can just double click an item to inspect it
For meds you see what they heal
looking for a duo to do some custom runs with
What do i need meldonin for?
I got that quest real fast by looting the library / crackhouse thingy on customs
what was changed in the downtime btw
Go to google
Search "meldonin tarkov"
Click on the wiki link
It'll tell you of all the crafts / barters / quests you need it for
OKay
Also a very good way of getting the Painkiller quest done
If you get a good spawn you can easily find 2-3 morphines
Not everyone is good enough to get in and out that early on though
People I teach they struggle going the right direction on the map


Sorry
my first 50 hours of this game i didnt have a fucking clue what in the world I was doing
But now we out here dropping chads with that five seven boi
Oh god a Five-Seven rat 
bro that gun is insane
Those and the KS-23 rats
First 30h were the same for me
I remember on my first raid ( woods ) I had to google how do I open a container :sob:
nah fuck that
KS-23 is broken as fuck
the whole point of shrap-10 is that it functions up to 10 meters
10 METERS, NOT 50 BSG
remember, thats the reason u called it shrap-10
I joined Tarkov before pestily, before guides
Oh. My. God.
My asshole has never been so big
ooh ur an old old player
this is my first wipe lmao
FAnny moneky
you poops and your diaper rigs
Momex / Ghost best headwear change my opinion
Ghost is not good, momex is
ooh yeah the mustache is random
Why does everyone have such good loot?
Yeah xD I wear it when I'm with the boys
Mhm
Level 6
I know its good armor, was just concerned about the hp
Level 6 can take a beating and still be pretty good afaik
Don't take my word for it cause I only wear level 4&5
according to sanitar this is about as strong as a pack of soft warm butter
He litteraly just one tapped me straight through it with his fucking vss or whatever
ONE TAPPED A SLICK
HOW

it might have been damaged a bit im not sure
lol
bro go interchange with hunter or five seven and come out phat
100% succes guarantee
Five seven is foken expensive
But SS190 slaps
how many shots from ss190 from a 5.7 take to kill a slick
Now i know why people wear armored rigs
xD
ha
aim for the head, not the slick lol
yeah but to a slick
Cursed images
too many
WHY DOES TARKOV ALWAYS SWITCH SCREEEEEEENSSSSS
oh k
probably like 10+
Are you tabbing out?
Maybe

@dawn geyser do u think thats disgusting
U should have seen my hideout a few weeks ago
Unless it's under 40 durability ss190 has a 0 percent chance of penetrating a slick
Stash***
Fuck i forgot to bring a backpack
Yes i'm one of those people that bring gear out and cry when I see diaper rig KS-23 or diaper rig Five seven
No I cry when I drop one and that's all he has lol
five seven go bop
killed 4 ppl lol
worst feeling in tarkov is Killing a guy in a nice fight but he doesn't have shit
true
nah worst feeling is when u are fat as fuck, killed a bunch of people and get head, eyes'd by a shotgun scav
ima go in like this lets see what happens
Like whenever I mag dump from my vector that's 60k+ rubles gone
ye same here with mp7
1 mag is like 80K lol
Yeah one of my drums + the ammo is more expensive than the vector with all the attachments 
I am losing money so fast
go interchange money runs
or shoreline
or reserve
any map
just make sure u have the right keys
Gonna do a few money runs on reserve today with a streamer
He says we gonna find ledxs, gpus and tetrizes for sure
:pray: didn't even know there are gpus on shoreline
this how my run ended š
very nice
2 minutes?
less
I got a goldchain
oh no i'm sorry
Stick it in your butt
Okay
back to five seven runs
might do labs five seven again
always goes better than labs geared
Five seven with good ammo is more expensive than my normal runs lmao
ha
nice
last labs geared run
best helmet in the game imo
lol
Guy was dead on the ground
@bold kernel
Imma do it on flea when i get there'
@craggy sapphire it's not found in raid 
idk what lvl
Anything in your stash that doesn't have a small white tick in the right corner cannot be sold on the flea so you might as well sell it to Ragman
@craggy sapphire show yo stash boi how much loot do you have you rat
anygood?
I havemore
anygood?
I'd say sell everything that's not FIR to Therapist / Mechanic / Ragman
Fir?
Found
In
Raid

i scavved reserve and killed 12 raiders
this is the loot I got out with
im so happy, first time i get so much stuff
I GOT STAR SLUGS ON MY SCAV
in a ks or a toz?
toz
toz star slugs do not stun at all I think
my fav weapon in the game is now the sa-58
it has a very good cal
and it smacks
it's fun to use
when i saw this beautiful sa-58 on a raider i really could not resist
A scav agrod on me for some reaason and walked all away across the map just to shoot me
Didin't even yell
it's a player scav
this any good?
if you didn't pay much for it this gun is a budget ak
yeah i didnt
ok
man 153 with buckshot is kryptonite to player scavs
it wasnt worth much
rdc anygood?
I would help if I knew more about the game lmao
@sharp terrace rdc?
rdc is awesome but costs 50k
ah valorant player

Wtfffff
So, anyone knows? š
That is fun when a guy i camping in the corner of the map where no extracts or nothing there with a vector and fully geared
Why tf are there so many vectors
cause its op
Should i sell my rys t helm?
@bold kernel Should i sell my rys t?
Eh
Uh

ok so
for fucking gunsmith pt. 11

anybody down to help me learn a new map? i need to make some roubles
What are bullets that I should buy from vendor every restock? I know 855a1 and AP6.3 should bought from vendor every restock
What stim do y'all recommend for The Survivalist Path:Junkie?
hey guys im doing jaegers introduction does the note not appear if your playing a scav?
just found tetriz in tech room, reserve
cant do quests on scav @thorny cliff
feck
do i need zibbo lighters
Any one doing some tasks? Wanna duo EU.
that's the scav kills on woods with a stim effect right? you can just use hot rod's or milk, usually cheaper
can anyone help me do some factory runs?
trying to hit lvl 10
just going for kills
thanks
am new to eft looking for a group tryna learn hmu
THat is fun when you empty a mag on a scav and he still doesn't die
And then you kill him
But he's scav friend shoots you in the arm
witch give you have bleed
And then you die
No hemostat = death
newish to eft looking to run some raids n learn from a good player
I like getting headshotted from a scav body peeking a wall with a shotgun. Thats random and shitty
i love when the scavs see you through 15 bushes and 2 trees cause they saw a 1 pixel of your head n kill you one tap
in the feels
shotgun scavs are very scary
theyre the most deadly
raider and scav bosses have nothing on shotgun scavs
i cant say 'b@$t@rd' in this chat? what? lol
yeah, weird
Dont ya'll hate it when you are about to extract but you lose connection to the server and then the game crashes...
not ideal
tarkov'd
Tarkoff
yes?
how do you unlock the feature in modding where it shows mods that you dont have in inventory?
just has to be level one
right click on gun and there should be edit preset
np
you shouldnt have RK-2 examined for a while its a trader only item i belive
unless u kill someone with one
or just go through the entire flea market and examine everything
How am i supposed to get a special item?
You know i am level 7 and havn't done prapors quest yet
like prapor has the markers, mechanic has the letherman, signal jammers, and wiifi cameras
cant remember the others off the top of my head
i think thats it
yeah im not sure
like i feel like theres more but at the same time i feel like thats it
im not sure ive ever been gated out of buying special equipment that i need
wiki says marker is sold by prapor lvl 1
oh the compass is technically a special item if you want to count that
intercang #1 mape
I got kiba key :D
factory #1
Labs #1
turn out different people like different things and thats ok
š
factory was a great place for me to develop my cqb tho
@craggy sapphire I pulled ultra med
What is that?
4 mil key
Nice
ab shit myself lmao it was on a scav
lol
What scope can i put on the sc 989
Nice i got a 60rd mag
Is this a good ak 101 build?
105*
is it a good idea to only use AKs and sell NATO guns so i don't waste so much money in meta m4s? I like AKs more and i chose BEAR anyway so
Use whatever you want...
accidental ping sorry dude
yeah i mean i just want to know if NATO guns are inherently better than AKs or something
a decent vertical recoil is 60 or so, so it's not fantastic
it's based on stats, not based on the gun themselves...
so it's what you attach to it...
ok
Is bt ammo good?
its mid tier but its incredible value
it's a tracer round... so you can be discovered more easily if youre shooting in darker areas
@craggy sapphire 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...
aks are great budget but their ceiling is a lot lower than M4s fwiw. the combination of higher pen + higher RoF + lower recoil on m4/hk makes AKs a passion project at the high end
@craggy sapphire have you done the bronze pocket watch quest
oh
understandable
quests are tough, wiki is your best friend
at this point in the game there is already enough people that have gotten kappa so they are just running around wiping maps
its kinda annoying like im just trying to go around and kill some scavs than i shoot one shot and 10 seconds later and theres 3 chats sprinting towards me with exfil helmets and slicks on
I have no more armored rigs :(
yeah iive made a few people pay
for example i went into resort trying to find opthalmoscopes with a hatchet, killed a scav, took his sks and killed somebody that had just killed 2 extremely geared dudes, and took everything
and a couple times ive went into woods with a mosin and killed fully geared guys
that too
"just win" is the better move, but harder to set up for
like usually when i run just trying to get one thing then get out ill bring a pistol or something
Can someone help me kill scavs on customs?
can someone play with me and teach me the basics?
exactly. no point doin an arms race with chads
I could
and i check the death screen and see they hit me with like 10 rounds of m61 or something laughing cause they just shot off like 50k roubles
lmao you hate to see it
does anyone want to play customs?
healthy ass pmcs absorbin 10 rounds of m61
yeah after one round of any .308 in real life and you wouldnt be doing well to say the least
then tarkov you can just shrug one off if it hits you
I have become so poor
also btw dora you can probably sell the 103, 315, 308, and the door key
those arent used for any quests and dont have that great of loot behind them
its the one just labeled key and it opens the pumping station on factory
308 has possibly very good loot
Ik
i cant
Should i sell to the therapist
yeah once you unlock flea market it is so easy
ok so i think i just
want to unlock the flee market as fast as possible and just not bother with this kind of stuff
i'll try to do the prapor golden watch task or something in customs
yeah luckily i had some friends who are more experienced with this game and i started like the 3rd day of the wipe so i got to level 10 pretty fast
but then they all got burnt out
when is the next wipe?
we're at what point in this wipe?
I meant what armor can i buy?
but one of my friends was thinking it would be a long one until streets come out or one half way to make it 2 short ones
also its been just over 2 months
dora you can stack the backpacks
the woods expansion
Okay
the next wipe will probably be the
they dont always add a new map
yeah im pretty sure
damn i'm so sorry about my stash
do i have anything that is really useful that i'm not seeing?
the backpacks and rigs are full of stuff btw
WTF
I SHOT A CASMPER 3 TIMES IN THE HEAD AND HE HAD A CAP ON
AND I DIED
TO HE'S PISTOL
ill tell you now the lk3f isnt worth keeping since it takes up as much space it can store
but the duffle sells for a decent amount on the flea because it can be used to make paracord
ok
hmmm
it's taken a bit of damage, but should protect against a scav
check how much it sells to ragman
Doesn't sell
50k
do i just sell the blue backpack to ragman then?
oh keep it
cuz i mean it sucks
yeah anything that you wear basically you can sell to ragman
but always check him first when selling cause he also buys the cloths and stuff for the highest price
i sold a lot of stuff
btw i have a lot of
food
and like
i'm not using it
SOMETIMES when i have the balls to not scav raid
i bring one MRE
and i forget to eat it
so like do i just sell them to therapist?
What should i do with a gold chain?
you need it for the chumming quest later
like the iskra lunch boxes you need some found in raid for the first jaeger task
then 2 later to plant in another jaeger quest
i'd use food after raid to reset, don't see much point bringing stuff in (unless you're training metabolism)
I can't buy anything but a bankrobber rig :(
then a bunch of short tushonkas for a therapist task
metabolism still levels outside of raid
you can buy from jaeger
oh so i just go do the jeager quest
also check the wiki for what you need to put on it
I have a green bat?
ok
yeah do jaeger quest
i dont have jeager unlocked yet
he sells a lot of useful stuff for the gunsmith tasks
i also cant complete the therapist salewa quest
never found a salewa
since i started playing
i just crafted them in the hideout
but i think they got more expensive
Should i got out like this
also you can find them in crackhouse on customs
insure your stuff
yeah i would insure everything i said
i'll bring an SKS with a red dot
cause at this point that stuff is the stuff you will get back
your gun will probably get taken or atleast stripped of the parts
but the other stuff you should get back unless you get killed by a naked guy
yeah someone will snag your gun and strip it once they find something better
which maps do you know
Reserve kinda
i just played customs mostly
i think i'm in the stage i know customs really well
That is basically it
what quests do you have
hmmm
btw you cant complete the customs task if you're scav running
can do salewas in hideout if you wanna be lazy
I have no hemostat
do you have a second monitor dora
Yes
also yeah they made it a lot more expensive from start of wipe
ok pull https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs up on your second monitor
and i would recommend hitting hide all so you dont have to deal with the icons
i dont have these hemostatics
That is alot of shit
then run around in an offline to learn where everything is on customs
Where is the hidfe buttom
i dont have a second monitor so i just alt tab
left side
in a safe place
right below map selection thing
Can i leave an offline without losing my shit?
there should be a hide all
also yes
offline nothing changes to your loadout
so if you pick something up in raid you wont get it back and if you die you get everything back
this building is where you will find salewas on customs
i got one or two there
no
and you can find gas analyzers for a later quest in the file cabinets
Okay
also dont bring the pistol
why not?
your armor is barely there i wouldnt bother with a helmet
My game always switches screens
it probably wont save you and you need pm pistols for a quest although it is pretty far
you need it found in raid for the quest
i've been saved by a pistol twice
if it has the little check mark in the bottom
and if you need it for a quest you currently have it will turn yellow and if you hover your mouse over it it will tell you which one you need it for
also if you are going woods it doesnt really make sense to bring that
most fights will be long range
i'll get sniped immediatly for sure
but just try to avoid the emercom camp and sawmill and you shouldnt run into many players
i got that SKS with the mount thing
and a sight
not a long range scope tho
should i get the
PSO?
cuz it fits in dovetail
so i dont even have to use the mount
u need the hunting sks
Gonna do a 2x Rollers giveaway today, I have some not found in raid. If anyone wants to join let me know!
i mean this
yeah doesnt work on your sks
yeah
like can i get the message in a scav run
only fire at a guy unless you need to in order to survive
but most quests cant be done as scav
i'd think the
the only ones that can are if you need to just collect a bunch of items you can usually find in raid
exclusive item ones cant
honestly stock sks is fine i wouldnt waste your money modding it
Wait if i use a key in offline mode will the uses count in online?
no
Okay
i just put a red dot on it
thats it
i have a lot of sights
so you can use the factory key and vo key without using uses
the rail is kind of a waste
and learn woods?
yeah i would recommend going in offline a few times to learn it
ok
and also to learn the location of it
alright
by the concrete ring behind old gas
but lemme tell you woods is annoying cause its kinda hard to navigate
the red arrow is where jeager is
ye
but the problem with woods is you just see trees and more trees
so its kind of hard to tell exactly where you are
but once you learn it you can navigate it pretty easily
and towns
there are plenty
Is old gas dp fuel?
what do you do with paracords?
but the rock and at the top there are the two images which you might be able to see in game
by looking off in the horizon
cuz like at this point i can probably run customs without a map quite easily
you'll spawn close to scav house, top lakes, the mil camp, or the towns
red rebel extract on reserve, s i c c case trade with jaeger, and a textiles quest from ragman pretty late in the game
oh ok thanks
im gonna go do my first scav ill tell you guys how it goes
were you on railroad tracks on customs or at a bridge in woods
Raildoad
you left the map
nice
keep your head on a swivel
Can a car medkit stop heavy bleeding?
dont fight chads
i dont remember off of top of head
double click and take a look
I won't go to stronghold
hemostat is my jam but it may be hard to get for a lowbie
I don't have one
esmarch?
Can esmarch stop heavy bleeds?
Yeah
yeah, use those
I am going out like this
lol
I can't buy a better rig
And i don't want to spend any money on a better bp
i would buy another esmarch
agree
also bind your meds
i also would consider skipping the docs case and bringing ammo in your alpha
hover over each med and hit a number
if you find anythingsuper valuable pull the car and/or ammo outta secure container
looks good
i usually do 4 for painkillers, 5 for just general healing, 6 for bandages for light bleeds, 7 for heavy bleeds, and if i have a splint outside of my container then use 8 for that
yeah
Cann you send me the commands for that stuff?
Just hover over it with ur mouse dora and press the number key
but hover over the thing in your inventory and hit a number on your keyboard
when i am low i go 1 in gun plus 2 in rig
and then bonus ammo in secure
its a mechanic quest to unlock him you gotta go get a letter in a camp on woods
hit the wiki for maps
unfortunately the issue is usually "i dont know woods" for this quest
its on the glory4lyfe map on the wiki
which is a harder issue than "where is jaeger"
fair enough
that looks good, do whatever works for you for keybinds
where should i go as scav?
also you're still missing general healing (ai-2)
Imma bring a bandage is a get a light bleed
anyone mind helping me do it im a big newb and i suck at reading maps
ok ill say it now incase the other person hasnt done the jaeger quest yet
quick how do i switch between firing modes???
bb
thanks
if you know where the military base is to the east of the main lake, it's north of that near a white crashed plane

kk
double tap O by defuault
it will show you which ones you have
the ones without question marks are always open
but the ones with question marks wont always be open
@bold kernel i dont know if anyone said this already, but you gotta be super careful on woods if you arent familiar with it because there are landmines at different areas of the map
for landmines they are only really by the usec area and there is one other part by the west edge where they arent marked
I love hearing them go off in the distance
my favorite
Nice got killed by a shotgun scav
but the rest of the map there are a lot of signs where there are landmines so just stay a good distance away from those
near USEC base and then on the edge of the map near scav house there are signs for them but they are just far enough apart that if you dont know where you are you could miss the signs completely
and yes it is hilarious when you hear hatchlings get pooped on
Nvm
great place to insurance fraud your guns i hear š
Didin't get killed by a scav
and @cosmic tinsel no yeah sorry i meant the signs are at the mines by scav house
ahhhh got it
ooo boy
Fun right?
Vector gamers 
ive never seen a vector in person nikkita likes me
