Hey guys, my name is Maria. I'm looking for someone to play with and help me out with the game. im currently level 9 but still need lots of learning. my husband gets too frustrated with me (hes level 40+) so you can imagine playing with a newbie. So im looking for someone to help me out so i can learn the game better instead of under pressure 😛 I have FPS experience with PUBG and warzone, counterstrike etc, but this is just another level.

Someone was talking about t0/1/2 materials but I have no idea what they're saying. Are there like different tiers that are worth more?

[old warren]

nobody is explaining in eft chat but what happen to tetriz?

[golden loom]

they fucked up the barter for it

[unreal horizon]

Btc trade stock was changed from 11000 to 100, and the trade is now Tetris and a green bat

Effectively making it impossible to trade for a Bitcoin

[golden loom]

also it screwed the prices of the 60 round 5.56 drums

but somehow they were only at 110k last time i checked but i thought it would be much higher

[unreal horizon]

Basically the economy did a cha cha slide and people are angry

[unborn compass]

anyone know if i need this ?

[unreal horizon]

Yes

You do

[unborn compass]

for like a task

[golden loom]

if you are going for kappa yes

[unborn compass]

oh i just got it out of scav case

[golden loom]

otherwise its basically just sell it

[unborn compass]

im down like 500k on scav cases lol

[golden loom]

i just run the 85k ones and i almost always break even

[unborn compass]

litteraly i do the moonshine i got 100k worth , i do the 85k i get 30k

look what i got

[golden loom]

yeah i dont do the moonshine ones

unless i have a non fir one

[rugged yacht]

[cinder hound]

[golden loom]

but the best thing i got was ultra med key

[dawn geyser]

Just keep running the 85k

[bold kernel]

if only these player scavs knew what was lurking in the shadows

[dawn geyser]

You'll eventually hit big

[cinder hound]

i know alot of people who were stuck on firesteel

[cinder hound]

for like a month

[dawn geyser]

Yeah RB-AM key is good for firesteel

[golden loom]

i only need the raven

[dawn geyser]

I got mine in 4 tries, it was my last one

[golden loom]

ive found one before but died before i could get out

[dawn geyser]

Do dorms safes in Customs

[unborn compass]

lol i love that sks

[bold kernel]

you know the bathroom near metal stairs that leads to d2 switch

[golden loom]

yeah i was gonna do that or a safe run on shoreline since nobody goes anywhere but the resort

[bold kernel]

they were looting a couple of dead pmcs i was in the little boiler room beside that

i peaked out got the one

[unborn compass]

im like 20 scav runs in looking for a dumb cowboy hat

[bold kernel]

ran to the metal stairs

[unborn compass]

the game hates me

[bold kernel]

peaked around the corner and popped the other

[unborn compass]

nice

[dawn geyser]

Yeah it's important to save those when you find them early game

[brave trail]

anyone want to help with task

[unborn compass]

i didnt know f

[golden loom]

i have a list of everything i need for quests and stuff and start stocking up on stuff the second i start

[dawn geyser]

[unborn compass]

ill do that next wipe i had no idea

[golden loom]

which is also why im the only one of my friends with almost a maxed out hideout

only things i need left are bitcoin farm 2 and 3 as well as the air filtering unit

[unborn compass]

my hideout is kinda close to max

i dont have jager ll3

f

[brave trail]

2 man anyone? customs?

[bold kernel]

@unborn compass

[unborn compass]

show the mod screen

[unborn compass]

thanks

i hate that scoope everything else looks cool

[bold kernel]

i love the cobra

same ergo as shift

[unborn compass]

imma make that gun rn

[bold kernel]

this scope is clean as hell

i don't understand why so many people hate it

[unborn compass]

how do you get it as just a dot

and not the 3lines

[bold kernel]

it's by far one of the best sights in the game

alt + right mouse

like it's highkey up there with the pk06

[unborn compass]

idk about all that haha

[unreal horizon]

It has a good picture but is kinda fuzzy in the day

[bold kernel]

i'd take it over the pk0 tbh

[unborn compass]

same

to expensive

[bold kernel]

like it takes up so little screen real estate it's one of the best sights

don't be like the guys i had just fought

do a proper sweep before you go for the loot

[unborn compass]

yeh ofc

silly loot goblins

[bold kernel]

got myself a nice little kit

might run this with it just for the kicks

[crisp nest]

i get them all the time xd

free 10k

[unborn compass]

i used to get them lol

[bold kernel]

okay i'd run this on a front sight and the pk06 on the back

[crisp nest]

what sight is that?

[haughty tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/ken-jeong-what-cant-read-blind-gif-8671467

[crisp nest]

yeah i thought it was the weaver just remember weaver having a delta reticle

weaver is off by a bit even at it's zeroed in range

@bold kernel

[haughty tulip]

I thought it was the FF3

[crisp nest]

like it shoots a bit below i think

[mighty shoal]

is the bitcoin nerf just the trader nerf ?

[haughty tulip]

The barter

They nerf it so no one can get it

[wind gulch]

the sight is low

[crisp nest]

oh then so it shoots above

i see

i just knew it was off a bit

[bold kernel]

it's shooting normally for me

[crisp nest]

maybe it was fixed?

or your rail adds some height?

[bold kernel]

slight sway

but it went exactly where i was aiming

[void thunder]

depends on your FOV unfortunately

all the red dots are zero'd for 50 FOV

[wind gulch]

you're shooting 10m away btw

try shooting at the line at the end of the range

[unborn compass]

what i was bouta say

[wind gulch]

it is like that for me

[bold kernel]

try using the dot

[twilit ridge]

Important to note that it's vertical and not horizontal FOV so 50 FOV in Tarkov is the same as about 80 in other games, 75 is about 103-105ish

[bold kernel]

I mean ill do that

am i the only one who finds scav raids more fun

the unpredictability of what you have

[crisp nest]

i do

free labs keycard xD

[twilit ridge]

I really like to do scav raids, much more chill since you're playing with house money and you have the same amount of reward to gain!

[bold kernel]

it's too easy to make money

I mean

I could just pmc out

level 6 armor

air frame every raid

but

that's no fun

[crisp nest]

run pp19 with a red dot

my favorite gun 🙂

[twilit ridge]

One of my recent scavs had intelligence in his rig when i spawned in so as soon as i get my vents to lvl 2 i'll get shorter scav cooldown as well

[crisp nest]

well i'm poor so ive never run a vector, m4, etc. 😦

[wind gulch]

oh hey the dot actually works perfectly

[slow tangle]

Just found a pk-06 on a scav's mp-153 lol

[winter cape]

just got did dirty on customs

😔

at least i left with 2 kills

[bold kernel]

never use the other sightsd

How do I freaking abort an action!?

I just died because I started eating a damn cracker and couldn't drop it to shoot or run

[twilit ridge]

I don't hink you can stop eating crackers

Once you've started munching you better finish it

[bold kernel]

Can I abort any kind of action?

Like Medding up

[twilit ridge]

I believe you can't cancel healing or eating

[unborn compass]

you can cancel cms kits

[twilit ridge]

The surgery kits?

[crisp nest]

pretty sure u can

[unborn compass]

yeah

[crisp nest]

spam right-click

or left-click but u might shoot by accident

yeah you definitely can

[bold kernel]

Spam right click? Got it

[crisp nest]

ive canceled eating b4

[jade oracle]

what is the best gun for a new player with no traders

[twilit ridge]

SKS

[crisp nest]

but it consumes the food still if its a single use food

[twilit ridge]

SKS with PS ammo

[crisp nest]

@bold kernel

[crisp nest]

@jade oracle yup this right here

[twilit ridge]

Or the mosin but the mosin now costs like 50k while the SKS costs 21k

[crisp nest]

run sks with ammo in pockets meds in container

kill someone steal his rig and backpack and armor 😉

[jade oracle]

i have like 20 mil so money is not a issue so sks or the mosin

[crisp nest]

tf

new player?

[jade oracle]

yea

[twilit ridge]

For armor i recommend the Ssh-68 helmet from Ragman lvl 1 and the paca just to protect from scav one taps

[rugged yacht]

dude u have 20m

go killa armor altyn m1a m61

[crisp nest]

^^

If you have 20m go get btc farm

lol

[jade oracle]

is this gear ok?

[bold kernel]

I wish I could preset my loadout and just have it autobuy everything for me and equip me

Can I?

[silver hornet]

Only your gun

[unborn compass]

lol , yeah it looks good i lovethat mask

[bold kernel]

Is there an item box to store armor and helmets and headsets in then?

[silver hornet]

only the items case

[crisp nest]

has kappa

[jade oracle]

a streamer told me that its better that any helmet

[crisp nest]

"i'm new"

[humble palm]

11 mil roubles

[unborn compass]

yeah it has high ricochet for the middle of the face

[silver hornet]

there's some truth to it but all the shattered mask is, is a mask that prevents you from getting insta tapped by buckshot scavs

[unborn compass]

cant beat its low price

[twilit ridge]

When was the last wipe btw? Any ETA on the next wipe?

[crisp nest]

thursday

dunno which thursday though

[unborn compass]

lol fr

maybe next Thursday maybe 20 Thursdays from now but ... Thursday

[unreal horizon]

last wipe was christmas. a wipe in june would fit a pattern but it's not public knowledge

[hot cobalt]

I'm new to this game and I could use someone to party up with to show me the ropes. Anyone available?

[silver hornet]

^this is the correct answer. I'd aim for July maybe though.

[shy belfry]

i like the name

[crisp nest]

NA? @hot cobalt

[bold kernel]

Does being high on painkillers provide any kind of advantage?

[unborn compass]

if your leg gets blacked you can still run and jump

[bold kernel]

So nothing for using them while healthy, got it

[unborn compass]

ypu can pre med if you know youre going into a fight

[crisp nest]

^^

[obsidian minnow]

Best rounds to use for shotgun?

590A1

[crisp nest]

12gauge?

@obsidian minnow

[obsidian minnow]

yessir

[crisp nest]

ap20 slugs or 8.5mm magnum buckshot

[obsidian minnow]

which would you recommend

[silver hornet]

depends on what you're using them for, they're different rounds

[soft thunder]

auto ram cleaner on or off

[unborn compass]

just download more when yours gets old

no need to clean

[soft thunder]

xD

[unborn compass]

lol

[obsidian minnow]

just running reserve atm

just wanna fuck ppl up

i guess buckshot is the way to go

[merry flax]

Do I HAVE to kill a scav to not get run through?

Or is it just extract after 7 mins

[unborn compass]

ether

reach like 1k xp

or sum

or survive 7

[crisp nest]

200

or 7 min

[twilit ridge]

Does the generator keep consuming fuel if you leave it on and exit the game?

[unborn compass]

yes

[twilit ridge]

Good to know

[unborn compass]

you need it to do so

for btc

[balmy vault]

waiit why is 12 gauge rip so busted

[haughty tulip]

6 minutes loading a scav run

Then disconnected before I even set foot in it

lol

[crisp nest]

@balmy vault id saay 8.5 buckshot is better

rip is 1 x 200 ish

8.5 is 8 x 50

[balmy vault]

265

so it 2 hits to leg

[crisp nest]

pretty sure it 3 hits

if it 2 hits then yeah its busted

[balmy vault]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/12x70_RIP

[unreal horizon]

They both 2 shot leg though you could argue rip is more reliable

[crisp nest]

leg meta moment

xD

[balmy vault]

buckshot tends to fall off fairly hard after a small distance

rip has no issues

and at longer ranges

[haughty tulip]

If you use rip is gonna succ

[balmy vault]

a arm shot would roll anyone

[haughty tulip]

From far at least

[balmy vault]

im just saying

a pot shot that hits an arm

is gonna instantly black ur arm

[haughty tulip]

A slug does better at further distances

[balmy vault]

rip is a slug

[haughty tulip]

Odd

Then idk what I was shooting at

[balmy vault]

its a holopoint shotgun round

[haughty tulip]

Because I aim good with shotguns

[balmy vault]

its fucking terifiny

terifying

[haughty tulip]

And that thing was hard to kill with

And I had a saiga with the 20 round mags

[balmy vault]

well i mean yeah

[haughty tulip]

Full of RIP ammo

[balmy vault]

leg meta at range is suck

[haughty tulip]

If it's a slug then it should be good

[balmy vault]

but the fact rip will make u surv and heal for 40 seconds

[haughty tulip]

Only thing is

[balmy vault]

its scary

[haughty tulip]

I forgot a sight

And I had a dust cover that blocked aiming

Without it

[balmy vault]

that would do it

[haughty tulip]

oh no

I did a dirty

I shot someone on top of hermetic in the night time

With a sks

Oh no

[celest sage]

Since when do nades not give strength xp?

[bold kernel]

Shrap 10 is 1 shot instant death this isn't busted

[celest sage]

I just took the f1 extract and gained no strength

[balmy vault]

shrap 10 is inconsistenct

[celest sage]

Do you only gain xp from nades if you don’t die from it

[bold kernel]

Moving is also

[balmy vault]

i agree moving is also

[bold kernel]

can you shoot them 2 times in 1 leg without being sprayed to death?

I can't

because I meet good enough players who don't stand still occasionally

[balmy vault]

i can?

what

who cares about standing still

just hit ur shots

[bold kernel]

I'm talking about their movement

I don't run the customs

or things

I run labs and Interchange

Labs is a big no no

maybe for raiders

I'll test that out

[balmy vault]

i leg meta people on labs

[bold kernel]

saga 12 RIP rounds

[balmy vault]

they are all trash

[formal nova]

Shrap isn’t that inconsistent

It’s just has a shit range lol

[bold kernel]

facts

[balmy vault]

i mean its range is op

but it sometimes one hits some time 3 htis

[formal nova]

10 meters isnt shit lol

Most engagements I would say are in the 25-50 range

[bold kernel]

1 bullet of shrap to the Thorax instantly kills you with no armor

yeah

long range = take cover they push you

[formal nova]

But as soon as shrap-10 hits 10 m it’s confetti

[bold kernel]

or they take cover and you push them

[formal nova]

And if you miss a shot that close and they have gear? You’re dead

[bold kernel]

or play ring around the rosy with doors

[steep yarrow]

Can I use non found in raid items for flea market barters?

[formal nova]

No

[bold kernel]

no

[balmy vault]

unless u employ the ratgod strat

[steep yarrow]

oof

[formal nova]

Only for trader batters

Barters

[bold kernel]

yeah

[steep yarrow]

thanks friends

[bold kernel]

or the hideout

[balmy vault]

yeah u got rolled

[bold kernel]

[slow tangle]

[balmy vault]

he had no chance

meta hk raid bag slick

folded

and the others cost 1 mil to do it

max traders prob

and are either single shot or high skill

[crisp nest]

pff who needs 338 ap

[balmy vault]

they will never see it coming

infact who needs ap when there is he right?

[slow tangle]

Is that scope good on the vpo?

[crisp nest]

no

[balmy vault]

no

[crisp nest]

but i wanted to test it xD

[slow tangle]

What's a good scope for it?

[balmy vault]

pliad

[crisp nest]

at least i one tapped a guy thru his exfil

[balmy vault]

25 mm mount'

costs like 10k

[haughty tulip]

Nice

[haughty tulip]

Damn

Nade every room and corner

[balmy vault]

i was gonna make a joke about black tip ammo being better but how the fuck is this guys 40 mike not fir

[haughty tulip]

Damn

Because no one is running that weapon?

Supply vs Demand?

Maybe

[balmy vault]

no but it needs to be fir to put on market

so how the fuck is it on the market

[crisp nest]

[haughty tulip]

I mean

I ask

[balmy vault]

I really want to play reserve to get gear but i'm just scared because some people say the raiders aimbot on you

then some people say they are easy to kill

[balmy vault]

just shoot them first

u can farm them with ks23

[crisp nest]

but to do that i have to see them

[placid talon]

just got red card

lmfao

[balmy vault]

nice

labs gamer created

[wind gulch]

learn where they spawn and their pathing

[crisp nest]

ur joking

[balmy vault]

dont sell it

[placid talon]

its found in raid

[crisp nest]

this guy luckier than a lottery winner

[placid talon]

lmfao

ahahh joking

but on shoreline rn

[balmy vault]

red cards are expensive this wipe cuz shoreline is sleeper as fuck

[placid talon]

shoreline sleeper ?

whats that mean

[balmy vault]

its boring for pvp

[crisp nest]

no one plays it

[balmy vault]

cuz inter is more profitable

so noones there

[crisp nest]

lets go my teammate killed one of the lapua users with his pp19 running pst gzh

[balmy vault]

if shore was more profitable more red cards would be in ciruclation

[crisp nest]

istg if this was him

[humble palm]

Someone want to do the Checking quest, for I am a noob

[crisp nest]

i havent finished checking and i'm on level 14

i have most of the items or can easily do the quests up to punisher but i just cant do checking

[balmy vault]

what is checking again

[crisp nest]

pocketwatch

[wind gulch]

@crisp nest this is raider's pathing I made a while ago

[crisp nest]

for prapor

[humble palm]

Customs pocket watch

[balmy vault]

itsnt it like his 3rd quest

[crisp nest]

2nd

[balmy vault]

i have a few people that need to do it

im down to do a 4 man

[humble palm]

What channel?

[crisp nest]

So will raiders jump me, cuz i can aim, I just have the awareness of a gorilla

[balmy vault]

give me 20 minutes

no

[humble palm]

👍

[balmy vault]

raiders only spawn after alarm

[wind gulch]

I mean you know where they genrally are so just observe

[balmy vault]

and they stick near train

[mossy depot]

Im on the quest for paptor i need to find soemthing in customs and drop it off in factory in customs is the thing in big red or dorms

[wind gulch]

not really, raiders can spawn before train arrives

[balmy vault]

the last time i saw that was like 3 weeks ago

its pretty are

rare

more likely they are in d2 rn

[crisp nest]

So would i get raiders to spawn or wait for someone else too

[wind gulch]

up to you

[crisp nest]

Anyone have a good reserve map I'll probably try it out with my buddies

[balmy vault]

doesnt have d2

but there u go

[celest sage]

If you die while running do you still get xp for that run?

And by that run I don’t mean that raid

I mean that physical run

[balmy vault]

yes

[celest sage]

Thx

[balmy vault]

you gain xp as u travle distance

[wind gulch]

beware of 2 types of raiders

[celest sage]

No

[crisp nest]

gluhar?

[balmy vault]

yes

[celest sage]

You gain xp when you stop running

[balmy vault]

nope

[celest sage]

For the amount of distance

[wind gulch]

gluhar and his men aren't raiders

[balmy vault]

unless they changed it

it should be as u move

[mossy depot]

im so done i run in factorys as a scav find some dude with 2 very good guns with attatchments but its next to the exfiil so i have to stand outside to loot him hes loaded and some scav comes up and pistols me and i shoot him with the gun and he dosent fucking die its so aids

[celest sage]

Yes they changed it

[balmy vault]

nevermind then

[celest sage]

It used to be whenever you run you get a set amount

But now after the first sprint you get almost none

[balmy vault]

well yeah

[celest sage]

So I’m making sure if I die in that first run should I stop before dying or just continue

[balmy vault]

the returns are reduced

[crisp nest]

wait so there are special raiders?

[wind gulch]

raider spawn by alarm is peaceful, raider spawn by train arrival isnt

[balmy vault]

there arnt any special raiders

[wind gulch]

to scavs players I mean

[crisp nest]

oh

[balmy vault]

they will all eat ur eyes out if u get too close

[crisp nest]

so i'll get jumped by other players

[balmy vault]

the button raiders ais are fucked when they spawn

thats it

[crisp nest]

is reserve small?

the map looks tiny

like the one you sent

[balmy vault]

maps just in 3rd

3d

but yeah it is kinda small

really compact

i can run half the map in 1 stam

[crisp nest]

so they spawn here - ish

[crisp nest]

oh hell yeah i love factory xD

[wind gulch]

recommend going in as a scav before as PMC

it is much harder to extract as a PMC in reserve

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/fa05jv/reserve_raider_rules/

[balmy vault]

just go sewer

[river badger]

I need some help, what should I do with my 6 Tetriz’? Do I even bother waiting and trying barter or no

[balmy vault]

hold tell nikita breaks and gives us stock back

[crisp nest]

If you try late at night and beat the bots maybe trade

or wait for bsg to fix their shitty hotfix

[river badger]

I stayed up til 3am, and I didn’t even see the stock of Bitcoin reset

[balmy vault]

[wind gulch]

nikita reduced fuel stock to 2000 and it already made a fuel-pocalypse,

[mossy depot]

[crisp nest]

factory = pvp

[primal dawn]

[bold kernel]

factory = stash runs

[crisp nest]

[balmy vault]

fac hidden str training map

[bold kernel]

Probably customs

[balmy vault]

[crisp nest]

[balmy vault]

[crisp nest]

[kind hedge]

i aint got that money

[crisp nest]

run scav

then use some scav gear on pmc

use some money if you didnt get a helmet or armor, or maybe no headset

cheap loadout!

or if the gun sucks sell it and buy an sks

[crisp nest]

i can help you level up and earn money if you want

[thorny robin]

mm thicc booty

[tulip elk]

yo can anyone teach me how to play?

[balmy vault]

i got a gpu i hate this game so muhc

[unreal horizon]

Lmfao

[balmy vault]

like why am i rewarded for suiciding into tech rooms

[mossy depot]

Im broke i have 20k i need help with quest so i can unlock the flee market so i can get money back my best wepons are scav guns i run customs with a alpah pack and have 4 slots for loot and a key for big red

[unreal horizon]

scav is free money

use them

[mossy depot]

wym

i do and come out with aks and use them for my pmc'

[unreal horizon]

you'll probably be making 150k off of your scav selling to traders, you can use that to buy an SKS with PS bullets

[mossy depot]

what best place to run scav i ran factory killed a pmc loaded af i couldnt grab the guns in the room bc it waws a extract so i had to go to the hall and i got fucked

[unreal horizon]

probably reserve or interchange

[mossy depot]

i use to do interchange idk why i stoped ima go back to that and yoink loot at tech light or whateve3r

[unreal horizon]

considering you're scaving in all the tech stores will likely be empty, but you'll be able to fill up between oli/idea and pc's

also, caches outside are a goldmine and often left unchecked

[cunning lion]

I'll duo with you on customs if you want. Although I provide no guarantees on my skill I can at least be a distraction/meatshield

[mossy depot]

everytime i run tech as a scav i get techstore ot my self i havent seen it looted

i never make it out tho

[unreal horizon]

Depends when you spawn ig. Regardless the middle of the mall is much more dangerous

[balmy vault]

what raids u doin i want em

[mossy depot]

im trying to get something in customs and drop it off in factroy

[unreal horizon]

Ok Mr "found a GPU strength training" lmao

Ur a lucky guy too

[balmy vault]

yeah but thats cuz i got god spawn with mad end

[unreal horizon]

Fair enough

[balmy vault]

i got gunned down by a chad 5 stack 2 seconds after i grabbed it

but the gpu farm grows fatter

[unreal horizon]

Oh yeah

[autumn quiver]

any noobs wanna rat around for some cash? NA

dm

[mossy depot]

bro this fucking pmc is standing in the mall in the middle of no where and i cant see him bc he has black cloths on

[obsidian minnow]

turn on ur torch

[frigid lodge]

just bought the game and have no idea what im doin can someone help

[unreal horizon]

Probably best to look up some YouTube vids, try a raid or 2, then come back with any questions

This game is super deep and tough to summarize everything you need to know

[hollow crest]

pick one map and try to learn the extracts in offline mode with a map open on ur phone or 2nd monitor, then add scavs and try to kill them consistently without dying.. then throw yourself into the meat grinder and youll learn. just dont give up

[cosmic crow]

so like, what the hekk am i doing lmao?? just got the game cause my friends said it was good but none of them are online rn and i kinda wanna play

[cunning lion]

Click on peoples heads I guess

[spark marsh]

Peak #sherpa-info and join sherpahub. Better discord for helping new players

[cosmic crow]

oki

[spark marsh]

Besides that, go into offline and learn the extracts. Thats step 1

[cunning lion]

I used scavs a lot to learn the game, no risk of losing loot and you're on friendly terms with the ai

[spark marsh]

^ this is important. One note tho is that scav bosses/other player scavs/pmcs are still hostile. Use this after you have learned the extracts and are ready to move into online

[oblique summit]

need help getting bronze pocket watch on customs i already have the key i need i just need help getting to the truck and extracting with the watch any help would be appreciated!

[kind hedge]

at what point should i stop going into runs with my main priority being leaving?

[unreal horizon]

Never

Remember the best way to make money is not dying

[kind hedge]

tru

[unreal horizon]

I know what youre asking tho and I'll elaborate a bit

As you get more comfortable with the game and gain a bit of a money buffer, you'll be more comfortable taking bigger risks and engaging in PvP. This happens at different times for different players, but money is generally the deciding factor

You'll only get confidence through experience, and experience through dying

[oblique summit]

so far im level 8 and let me tell you ive only died, died, and died again, ive killed a total of two players in career. I remember one time i shot someone in the chest and hit all 4 shots accureately of slugs and i still ended up being the one who died, more than half the time I don't even see the person who ends up beaming me from 300 yards away in the head and even when i do see them i don't stand a chance because theyre armor against my bullets just tickles them

[unreal horizon]

I'll let you in on a little secret. Woods actually has snipers in invisible space ships and you never have a chance

[celest sage]

I have a few days where I have to be quiet but I wanna play so I’m thinking ima just strength train all day

[oblique summit]

i really think there needs to be a server playlist that only ranks 1-10 can play together because you dont stand a fucking chance against a level 40 sweaty virgin believe me its really unmotivating yeah i get the game is supposed to be hard but its really unforgiving of new players i shouldnt be paired up with level 50s

[celest sage]

Run out a stamina bar, f-1 extract

Repeat

And in like 25 hours ez elite strength

[unreal horizon]

Lol I'm doing it rn, put some Netflix on another monitor and you're good to go

[celest sage]

Any show suggestions?

[vocal dragon]

HMU if anybody wants help with a quest. I'm EU but happy to sherpa NA as long as you don't mind EU servers!

[carmine cobalt]

Can anyone help me im new to the game???

[unreal horizon]

Anything specific?

[jolly lily]

how bad is it if i leave my armored rig unreapired its 39/40 and wont let me rapair it no matter which dealer i pick

[unreal horizon]

That's fine

[wind gulch]

nott bad

[vale sedge]

cant even reach level 10 :u

killed 2 gared guys and their third friend killed me

[wind gulch]

just do tasks

[dawn geyser]

If you've killed 2 geared guys you'll do fine! Just do your tasks =p

[vale sedge]

by being a rat.

[dawn geyser]

If that's what it takes

Joining mid-wipe and trying to do your tasks, that's really the only option you've got

Or blow your entire stash worth on being competitive vs other people that have been playing from the start

[unreal horizon]

Be a rat until you can afford to w-key like a madman

[dawn geyser]

^

[wind gulch]

playing mid wipe has tons of benefits too

first few days of the wipe people literally camp at Jaeger's tent lol

[vale sedge]

guess ill pistol run tasks all my buds quit

[dawn geyser]

Did they get you into the game?

[vale sedge]

more or less

[dawn geyser]

Ah that sucks

I see so many people that had their friends bring them into this game

[vale sedge]

i play it after ffxiv

[dawn geyser]

And then they leave them

And then Tarkov becomes their addiction

[vale sedge]

its def fun

but 1-10 is brutal for me

[dawn geyser]

Mhm
