who wanna group
and then this rat with a shotty comes and kills me
Goodluck.
@bold kernel cover your face with a momex
right almost forgot
Just remember, death/losing gear is part of tarkov. It be a very boring game if everyone had a 100% survive rate
much better ty @turbid burrow for reminding me
white face is easy to see, np.
EXFIL OUR BOY HAS GROWN INTO A MAN
pog insurance
who doesn't take a full hp exfil
You are lvl 9?

POGG
Should i get the beta container when i can?
Nice!
If you plan on focusing on quests, I wouldn't buy it and go for Epsilon
That's the punisher questline
I think
yes
I had a heavy bleed on my head and when healing up with the grizzly had 1 hp left
How do i get epsilon?
^
hemostat next time @bold kernel
healing bleeds with IFAK/Salewa/Grizzly will take larger amounts of heals off the item.
ded π¦

Nice, now you can run in to die again like a chad~
I got rushed by 2 people
my accuracy is uhhhh
questionable
LOL it's not that bad for a vector 
vector experience
Fiveseven and a wallet
I got fucked up big time
Start rocking guns you think look cool and at least class 4 armor, your gear fear will lessen @bold kernel Don't forget good ammo.
LOL bleeding out every crevice of your body
you really needed that hemostat lmao
jesus christ
oh no you died to PS lmao
Ah yes, good O' BT
who WANNA DUO?
that aacpc is really worth it lol
mhm
anyone down for low level custom runs?
Does anyone have any tips on how to make money/ not spend as much per run. I find myself spending around 100k just on the gun(basic gun with a sight and for grip sometimes) plus ammo and everything else
it be gone in an hour
like everything ?
whatever the package is
idk
Just receive it Briyan
What kind of guns are you bringing?
ok time to bring another vector and AACPC 


Just rock a KEDR + EKP optic with 30 rnd mags for self-defense, aim for face; rat the map.
@dawn geyser is the tactec gud?
That is good cuzx i got on
tactec is a less space aacps
Yes it's not bad, level 5
aacpc*
tactec is good.
oki
how much does it cost to make m955
back in 
What map are you running?
I don't want to run into squads
or ks23 shrap10 rats
Factory has more of that than any map I'd say π€£
How do i do tasks on customs most efficiently?
say that to my legs when I got near techlight π¦
which tasks @icy trout
I gotta do the extortionist for Skier
Depends on what side of the map for the mall portion, but you can loot the entire garage and come out full.
But everytime ive spawned in ive been surrounded by scavs or instantly killed by a full gear
im lvl 7 new to the game anyone wanna do some raids with me!
If you're not comfortable in your gear yet, I'd say try to stick to looting misc stores and avoiding kiba, tech, rasmussen.
Have you obtained the key yet and found the messenger body?
No, but i know where it is
Current level?
Pick a channel and I'll help you out.
Lol sure.
I just did the 5th run on customs.
Either killed by scavs or instantly killed by a geared player
Message me whenever if you still need it.
How do i start making hella money?
Learning your loot.
By that, I mean be able to discern which items to keep or toss.
Well you know GPUs are worth a lot. But for misc loot there's plenty that go 10K+ per slot.
On the long run id say so
Tape, same price.
Oh
Some helmets are also extremely worth sometimes
Oh i thought tape was dogshit
i found a wendy exfil.
tape, screws, nails, toothpaste, lcds, gasans are all pretty worth
most tools are good except measuring tapes
lol
That's what I mean. Know the loot. Not keycards or gpus, but the small stuff you can get in filing cabinets, duffle bags, etc.
also
Bolts? 40k. Circuit boards? 50k+. I could go on and on. But you don't need tetriz or gpus to make big money.
nope thats normal, first wipe.
Fair enough
im on 200hrs and only 17 rn xD
oh damn
i hard scaved for the first 2 weeks of playing so
A 20 slot bag like a scav backpack or berkut can net you 400K if you fill it all with 1x1 items that go for 20k each, which isn't as hard as you think.
Than k god
HELL YEA
My game is being weird
I got out with loots hell yea (don't mind the level 2 guy)
nice
I am lvl 11 with 60 hrs
lΓΆol
Then don't run the gear set consecutively.
I wuold suggest to go sniping on woods
I switch between guns every 2 PMC raids or so, to use up different ammo types.
just filling up 3 mags cost me 150k+ π¦
ME and my friend did that and got some good shit
i despise woods with a passion lmao
I like it
woods is the easiest way possible for me to get a heart attack
IF you know the stashes you get lots of good shit
And eventually every raid can become like 200-400k everytime
everyone on woods is running a DVL for some reason, I snagged like 4 yesterday in an hour
I would be rich if i knew those spots

ok nvm I think I can afford this
made 150k by quick selling the loots
Is offline scav broken atm? I am trying to practice in pve factory, but no scav spawnning
What settings?
horde doesnt work
^
doing this so I can finish Friend from the west lol
You have to learn the landmarks
is m995 worth it for hk or use a different ammo
I am not sure if this would be the right place to ask... I am kinda stuck on punisher part 6 where I have to kill 15 pmcs with svds, any wisdom or ideas how to do this quest better?
m995 has increased recoil i would use the m855a1
855A1
Spam factory, lose a lot of SVDS but find more PMCs.
I am not confident of my combat skills, I've wasted about 2mil so far π’
is the 55a1 worth to craft?
dont go into raids with sso much money in gear.. most pmcs run ammo that go threw any armour like a hot knife threw butter. invest in good ammo not good armour.
the gun doesn't fit my style of play
z
ayo how do i do the stirrup quest withut blowing like a million rubles on ammo etc?
Set a nest watching the land bridge, stronghold, or dorm stairs.
d-2 (watch out for campers)
D-2 requires it to be already used or power activated below black pawn I think.
manhole if you dont have a bag
That is hermetic
Sewer manhole without back pack
I have a bag with stuff
hermetic is the alarm, not power
No, both D-2 and Hermetic require a switch. Separate switches.
you can chill hermetic and wait for buzzer, or go down to d2
cliff descent with RR + paracord
someone might hit buzzer for raiders, and you bone out
ah man, <horde has so little scav, and they dont seem to spawn as much
killed like 6 scavs in factory, and thats it
It's been broken lately.
Is there any stashes close to the cliff descent?
ok so if I have multiple grenades ( say a vog and an f1 ) and press G which one goes out?
And one that is inforny
the furthest left one if they're in your pockets
Infront
ok
Oh
not sure the rules if they're all over a rig or w/e
I said it so poorly
i just bring the same grenades
but some people like to mix fuses to be unpredictable
yep I only have some F-1s but was curious
what's the best food
I've been using MREs to get energy back after raids
i use mayo
burh
lol
Does repairing a visor remove bullet holes?
yes, always
no point buy another
I found lupos?
streamer item required for kappa
Okay
meevo that isnt true sometimes altyns dont remove beans
holes
i cannot talk
i sorri
ive never had that experience
bean holes lol
Is slick better than hexgrid?
they are the same
yes
oh aight
no, slicks has higher durability even after solving for destructability
they're the same armor class, but slicks take more dmg for any given ammo*
for a slick?
hdd, screws, t plug, wires, drill
hdd and drill are both meh
but i need every single penny but what is worth like close to nothing
hdd
tplug
tplug hdd and drill are the first you wanna throw away
t plug hdd key and drill
customs key worth close to nothing too
T plug i need for hideout
they go for like 4k :v
I still need it
fair
yeah keep the tplug if you need FiR
your bag mostly junk per slot
which is fine, but nothing in there is too precious to throw for an upgrade
Any good?
1k per bullet on flea rn, defo keep
Nice
wow just picked up a busted altyn face shield and repaired it, had bullet holes
yep
@cosmic tinsel reset the game
wtf are those?
Go to hideout
No more bullet holes
:)
@craggy sapphire stock, silencer and handguard
And a shitty knife
goddamnit i just sold the visor lemme try
ive always seen x out of x visorsclean
Any faceshield too
even if its like, 5/5
That game memorises it as broken
couldn't see anything bc of dehydration
If u reset the game
U reset the game memory
Then when u come back and go to hideout
The visor will have no holes
Only works when u repair it tho
Make sure to eat and drink between raids
at the end of the day, not a big helmet guy, but cool to know
I use altyn a lot
The only helmet worth running tbh
This and airframe/exfil
Other helmets are trash
man going in geared and surving is pog
WHat do i need a car key for?
Okay
It's like 3k I think but yeah only thing you'd ever use it for is the Skier MP153 barter
Lets hope for a red card on a scav
lmao
lol
i do the same thing every time i walk to my mailbox. "lets hope somebody left me a million dollars in cash"
never happened yet, but i stay hopeful
lol
lol
Red card or marked key
one of those could happen
Chances are slim to none
hint: its not the red card
But still a chance
What was that launcher update for?
Best scav spawn i had was 1mln i think
my buddy pulled a flir scav recently
going on factory again and I have a bad feeling about it
@cosmic tinsel same, but i found it ib KIBA
Some1 left an ak on the wall
With reap-ir
me too im gonna deck ya
Anyone know a good way to make some good money?
I also got kiba key from a scav
I'm taking a serious nose dive in funds
I was like lvl 4
@torn kraken yeah a lot of ways actually
I've lost well over a mil
And i had a docs case and everything
Enlighten me pls
Do you want it to be a chad way of making money or rat way of making money
Whichever has the highest chance of success
Rat is more money but less fun
Tired of getting 1 tapped all the damn time π
Chad money making.
Resort shoreline rush , looting tape room and other key rooms, checking red keycard spawn
Rat moneymaking
Reserve or Interchange loot runs (tech oriented spawns)
Customs is probably where I was going wrong then
Scav moneymaking
Interchange loot run or reserve raider killing
uhoh
I've got skav killing missions and Woods and Customs so I was trying to kill 2 birds with one stone
How to fix the not recieving verification email bug?
Well damn
Yeah my roommate and I were doing a run on customs but it's become dramatically less effective
Seems we keep running into people hiding in bushes waiting for us
Nah customs is trash for money
tbh resort red keycard checking can be rat too
I'll have to get familiar with interchange then
What do you recommend bringing for those runs?
Not to brag or anything
would you be down to show me interchange? havent really ran it at all
@graceful phoenix sure but tomorrow, got a lot of work today
Why is your gun in that slot. Itβs bugging me
Of course my biggest problem is being able to spot people first. I always seem to be the one caught flat footed in almost every engagement
@dire matrix style points
Interchange no keys
Tech spawns only, that includes
Techlight techno and rassmusen
Idea offices
German
And oli offices
With keys u also get
Kiba
Ultra med room(super OP)
Emercom med room
Object 21 and 11
wtf there's 10 mins left on factory and all I hear is scavs
Did you spawn as a scav?
Hey guys me and my cousin are proper struggling on this game anyone fancy coming to help?
where do i put my surv12 kit when i dont have space in my pouch
I just don't do PMC factory raids if I can avoid it
fac tends to have its pmcs clear out in 5 minutes
@sudden sandal backpack
Don't forget TTS!
yeah but then ill lose it, no? (if i die)
if you die, yea.
yes but they arnt expensive
@ember pendant deadass never got anything in there
I got more gpu and tetriz from power station
15-35k versus 110k GPU
I am not recieving any verification email, how do i fix?
@ember pendant today i went interchange pistol run
I spawn in next to power with my friend
He went to loot stash and i went inside
Tetriz and gpu next to each other lmao
Sometimes it be like that
oof
@ember pendant i did
And i will get rat achievement
yep absolutely foken empty, only scavs
@bold kernel unless they are farming scavs
There is no reason to stay
Factory has no loot except office area lol
ok so where can I find people in those first 5 mins
ok
No clue haven't played in a month
goto interchange with a pistol and rush tech spawns
@balmy vault i know
I think I was up to 46-47 before I quit though
LETS HOPE FOR POG SDPAWAN
If I didn't have to reinstall I'd give ya 5 though
Nice i don't even have a single gpu
@ember pendant dm the password 
HOPEFOR POG PAWN
@craggy sapphire do you have a btc miner?
lul, it still has all the labs keycards on that account. You seem like a swell dude, but I don't know ya like that.
NOPE
Get on a month later, oh.... all 5 sicc cases are missing. Great π
uhh
Why would it be rude?
To say no to a gpu?
Yea
@ember pendant dm if u ever reinstall
Idk why it would be rude
We can run some labs before wipe
Just realised
You are a strong independent explorer. You don't need no man to give you stuff.
Yeah gpus are 1.6mln now
If you are wanting to play labs go hit up my old duo partner LeafyBud
Crazy how they went up in price
he streams like 7-10 hours a day and spams it.
He won't hold you hand, but the man loves labs.
Does he mention how many cheaters he runs into a day?
Curious about the actual amount
^ ye yesterday i got killed by aceTTV
Go to his stream and ask him.
Lol, he literally just ended stream.
He's not one to bitch about cheaters though. He'll bitch about desync all day though
Hurts more
Than cheaters
Tbh
Cuz if some1 cheats u are like
"Meh i wouldnt ve able to kill him anyway"
He's a great person to watch if you wanna learn team labs
But if u are in a shootout, you almost kill that guy and then die to desync
They are there to slay, not loot
Thats where rage beings
I got a fucking mk18 and i am heavy bleeding
i agree tho cheaters just kinda happen and they get banned at some point
if he has a mk18 he has heals
No he got it from marked room
^ he sells second best
no fmj
Fmj
Victx i would be pretty happy if i could have a gpu
47 pen
And the price difference is staggering
im glad not, jager is a cuck
lol
yep
Okay
may I get a gpu too 
No
ok
Okay
I should probably get one of em oxygen thingies'
Okay nvm
Need skier lvl 3
Imma keep on doing runs until i get something good out of marked room
Such as container
s
ik
No nades tossed, are those 2 extra hits from bullet shrapnel?
someone please what do i do im down to 4k roubles
@turbid burrow that or bullet overpenetrated and hit something behind the target
You need a sherpa, put in a request. @stoic ravine It'll be the fastest way to learn how to be independent.
where do i put a request in?
alright thank you
ok just message me ill be on
Sure thing,
Wearing gearsets helps. I understand you are broke AF, but 768 absorbed by armor after 48 raids is super low.
however if u want help now i would say look up a reserve map go scav on reserve
just walk straight to exfil
transfer everything
take the gun
bring to customs and shoot scavs
Oh it is you mr blank
leave
YOu helped me before?
yeah
oo
ima change my nicknameo n the server
I mean he has 2.7 mil stash value. He needs to use the stuff he gets.
lol
@balmy vault you know what we did with friends?
4 chads 1 newbie on factory
Kill all the scavs
Give him the best backpack
yeah thats a good play
He loots all that shit
i do that early wipe farming labs cards
This might sound really weird
Also quite nice exp tbh
ndvm
yea i mean you can kit 10k xp juts by killing 10 scavs
Anyone have any tips on how to make money?
Dont die.
i filled out the 0243 ticket do i just wait now?
on the delivery from the past task if u die during the factory part do you have to get the docs from customs all over again?
yeah how long is ur scav timer?
yes
Dying is the #1 most expensive thing in the game. Surviving with an empty bag nets you more than 5 kills and dying in a raid.
that sucks
@severe slate
im during homework rn but ill be on later
alr
i have some stuff i gota do in about an hour
so i might not be on
but im shure the others will help if im not here
I disagree with this for consistent money for new players personally. Sure that'll net you the most money potential, but they can make ample money by doing oli and goshen warehouse and it's heaps safer.
WHat is the best thing you have ever gotten from a marked room?
my scav is ready to go out mr blank
@craggy sapphire red keycard
IS it even possible?
Yeah
Holy shit
U can find doc case/wallet
Once you know the spawns and IC really well rushing techs is a great strat, but if it's just leading him to death it isn't worth it.
With red keycard i side
Inside
Been working on making a few different runs for loot runs so everyone isn't going to the same spots after watching one of my videos. This one is an extremely consistent money maker and can be adapted to be part of other runs and be ran specifically.
3 Post Wipe Loot Runs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgWnqVvfsY8&t
How to get rich in Tarkov ...
This is an alternative
Id use WillerZ guide over Pestily. Willerz consistently has 10x the stash value of pestily.
https://youtu.be/bTmURzU7PkA
This is my Interchange loot route I do on stream you can find many VODs, and me doing it live on my Twitch Channel
Didnt even know this gun was semi only lol
Just an expensive Adar =p
?
but it costs 20k more
It has a slower Rof than adar?
Yeah
im double checking rn
What '-'
Oof
I thought the tx-15 was better in every way
Hello
Then u add 90 m855a1 from skier
I have question
Do I need water filters for anything?
I donβt have water collector
does anyone have spare things u need to upgrade stash too level 2
Then no
its rediculous how small it is
So sell them?
Yeah
Is that a ADAR or am I seeing things?
Iβm asking cause I just found 5 in a scav raid on interchange
I died
does kiba spawn them?
Pimped chimped
The water filters
No
Never saw them spawn there
Kiba has weapons
Usually Oli
side by side comparison of adar and tx-15
Dead body RIGHT outside of kiba 2 decked aks 5 water filters 3 m cables
yeah sell that shit
Om g they are so different
adar is really good budget
for shore its really slept on
thats like 200k
but thats an m4 build slapped on an adar
U can get 130k adar
Pfu
Mdar
Better than that
And it will have fullauto as well
I'd hope no one would use a jail break adar lol
same
fragmented
I get that you personally stripped it for that test, but adar / tx-15 need to be built with ergo IMO
I would rather have 60 recoils mdar tbh
i mean no higher ergo then a jailbreak
i mean u can slap a m4 lower on there for 20k
@craggy sapphire yeah
good budget gun the mdr is nice to ues
prs gen 3
Can you still build an adar to 100 ergo or did they change the value on parts this wipe?
@balmy vault will try that
But gotta say 35 recoil is nutty af
Pure German engineering
Anyone up for helping me survive a factory?
I lost about a mil trying to do it but the best I got is a run through
i got heavy bleeding by Reshala
The rest were I got either destroyed by cheaters or by sweaties with atyn+gen 4
Try running a 5 man. LFG has loads of them and they are almost guaranteed survival if y'all aren't dumb.
Or encounter team killers lol
shouldn't find many here
still worth wearing this?
nope
how much it trader for
It wasn't worth wearing under 37/50 IMO
hgrids have 45 total dont they
wb this one?
45 one is def good to go
@ember pendant why not
idk I haven't played this wipe.
Its still better than korund
I also have a 63 dur slick
Unless the vendor price is nice
I don't rock armor past 75% durability because they'd lose effectiveness.
vendor is 80k
just keep
aight
use on like a smg run
aight tyvn
dont use on a geared run tho
this one still good right>
Yeah
EffectiveDurability = Durability Γ· Destructibility
yes
yeah
For the first shot
t6 armor is bugged
Everything after that the killa will shine.
t4 rounds will almost always pen in the single digits
bought game yesterday no clue how to effictivley farm whats best way to get everything i need to upgrade stash cause its already full
Imagine using armor rigs because you don't have max strength π
I use it cuz its cheaper than killa
Som eone left a tetris at techlight
I don't buy killas personally.
sell most of the guns in ur stash and armor below t4
and do quests to get flea
Just get them from players / killa. If I buy an armor its a slick.
and just buy the items
mr blank i just have alot of random stuff idk what they do
i know u need stuff to trade
idk, I always have 20+ C5 armors so i don't really consider cost.
send me ss of ur stuff
from the flea market when u hit level 10
@ember pendant i vendor/sell any level 5
That isnt killa/aacpc lol
And maybe tac tec
can anyone play some raids with me
also sights are so confusing like i bought 4 diffrent sights none go on my fal looking gun
Killa / Defender / G4 HMK are the 3 I'd keep. I HATE armor rigs
I prefer stomach armors.
I love rigs
Cuz when i kill some1
I put the rig in my backpack
And it counts as backpack extension
Then i yoink his stuff
Eh, If I killed him i likely fucked it up
I don't tend to try to trade gear unless I need to
Then u dont take it
Such as my shit getting zerod.
bro i did the setup quest
Thorax only
and holy shit
And little to no penalties
armor sugma
I think paca has more penalties than aacpc
Also,
Red rebel extract
Movement penalties don't bother me. Typically I'm miles ahead of people when I am playing
SJ6 + max stats does that though.
IC and SL I pop a SJ6 100% of the time.
Aye got my first tetris
Nice
Drug addicted stomach protecting virgin
I mean I wear C6 80-90% of the time
Best armour 5 in the game
oh the rag trade
Ye
I'm not super passionate about C5s lol
what did they do?
Who do i sell bitcoin to?
nice
Used to he
3 aramids
3 ripstops
3 corduras
invest it on your bitcoin farm
Now its
3 ripstops 3 corduras and whisky
Don't have a gpu
lol
still important to start building the required components
it's the biggest money maker in the game
considering it's all passive income
Yeah i started way too late on the gpu farm and i hella regret it
How much bitcoin do i get?
I doubt man's hits 40 in the next month
Which is 130/150k in total
depends how many GPUs you have. with 25 I get a bitcoin every 11 hours
@craggy sapphire 1 gpu will give you a btc every 25h 30 min
Is building the intelligence centre important to do?
WHAT
And it goes down the more bitcoins u have
700k EVERY MIN?
no lol
No
no lol
25 hours
25hr 30 min
And 30 min
UH
Okay
Makes it 2100k per day
I should probably buy every part that i need
Could someone quickly answer my question by any chance?
You should focus on get 30.
yup. you won't be able to get it until level 22 but you should save up for it
Expensive*
what are the benefits exactly?
There is no bitcoin farm
it's expensive but it pays for itself
Ah right
And intelligence also gives u sick crafts
but I'm only level 19 and I could just pay to build it
Like u can craft gous
My game bugged out
Ah right
servers are down cries in a corner
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Hideout then go to intelligence center tab.
?
Down? Again?
if it helps fix the shitty netcode i'm down
We remind you that from March, 3 2:00 pm PST till March, 3 07:00 pm PST (from March, 3 10:00 pm GMT till March, 4 3:00 am GMT) server technical works will be carried out on #EscapefromTarkov servers
just shut down again
yea as was announced, servers are beeing updated (hardware side)
Either way it shows what is crafted from it and what it does.
He didn't ask for the cost. He asked for its use.
its not 10pm MST its 3pm lmao
be glad they are doing this, finally some modernized servers π
So you cant craft anything at level 1?
no more pentium 2 servers! hoorah!
You know they lease the servers from companies right?
i know π doesnt mean the servers cant be upgraded π
Eh, I think you missed the point.
is server down?
read 8 lines up @red comet
yw
wish we could play offline lol
right! i could do with some woods recon xD
all that shit
i should try it to learn spawns on customs
Honestly, RReserve and Woods I have found to be easiest
Speaking of playing offline, I tried to play NBA 2k20 yesterday and EA removed all online servers. 80% of the game isn't playable now and it still cost 60 bucks on steam.
did anyone get booted out during their game or did it let you finish ?
all buildings look too similar to me on customs so far
if u got booted it prolly saved ur stuff
Yea, my buddy has been showing me alot with customs because it is his favorite.
depression :(
i didnt get booted out, i just wonder how it works when the server goes down during a game
I have done a couple good scav runs on Reserve though, its great
reserve is my favourite map for PMC runs
it typically gives you a message saying that the server is shutting down in x minutes and you'll be marked a survivor if you don't get to extract.
alot of thicc boys to loot
Im just trying to get level 3 prapor so i can buy ks-23
PMC is a bit harder on reserve.
i have like 4 or 5 but i keep dying with em so my stash is slowly dimminishing
I just run around the snipers lol
Reserve isn't near as bad since they added the tunnels / fixed spawns.
@native leaf stay underground and kill raiders π
@compact plume u forgot about go d-2 and get extract camped
if you play night as scav do you get flashlight or nvg?
I think its random
always throw a nade between those racks right before the exit π killed 2 exit campers there yesterday
I have to try a scav run at night
same
Can try one with ya once server comes back
i made a large investment on a red rebel and the returns have already paid for it and more
Red Rebel?
yuh
