armour in this game protects what it says it does when you inspect not what it looks like it protects
yeah
yeah i've seen videos about that
ears are big hit boxes
so if you got a full helm and visor
you can get 1 tapped in the ear
from the front
not the side
just use wendy exfil
the problem is I only go as scav and pmc with pistol and get shit on so im thinking about going with an actual gun idk
that's why you need ear protc
you want him to have guide completed and spend 100k on a helmet component
this is nuts
how lol
BECAUSE HES NEW
It's just a non balistic rep and a SLAPP
best case scenario thats terrible advise, worst case scenario you're trolling a new player
I'm not only talking to him
Come on now
this u?
ofc you're talkin to him
first of all he cant, and second of all he shouldnt
he's just trolling at this point let's move on
yeah
if hes new he should use the ratnik
100%
don't use a helm if you're new
ratnik or nothing
best starter helmet
waste of money
lol what
protect everything or nothing
like you said hitboxes suck
you need to level up therapist, unfortunately
you won't be able too unless you get lv 10 or lv up therapist
The rapist
so i guess im going to have to try and find it in raid :/
Which
they do but still it helps
luckily you can find them in med spawns in raid, which are pretty common
I need to kill five scavs onn woods
There is a barter for hemostat at therapist 2
Without armor
yep! anywhere you see meds you should look for it, and you should consider sticking it in your alpha container when you find it
lol unfortunately to unlock the hemostat you need to finish this quest
or hit lv 10
when I get my helms back it's like zeroed 1/4 of the time or damaged
Salewas are not hard to find in raid
I did that one by sniping the bitches over at scav house
if people are using good ammo it doesnt matter anyway
but im shit and die a lot from people sneaking up on me
and i only bring shit guns so its not like if I was to actually have a fair fight i would win
i hit someone for 400 with a shotgun and they didnt die
thats a good strat early
just do other quests and unlock market if you haven't already and then do the quests for crafting
shotguns are challenging weapons to use early. you really need to go face if you're using buckshot, unless they're wearing a face mask, and in that case go legs
make sure you're bringing headphones so you can hear people a bit farther. some times tarkov audio just doesnt work and it's not your fault too
shoot people in the face with any ammo other than 2 and it will 1 tap them regardless
i would suggest you consider using something like an SKS with PS ammo, and continue going face. make sure to insure it, and it will always come back and be almost free to run
PS is good against scavs and you'll have a chance against PMCs, at least
They're going to troll his gun

yeah but my character has parkinsons so its kinda hard to hit someone in the head
aiming is challenging in this game, but it can be learned
keep your aim higher up then
always keep it up and don't droop
Sks is gold for beginners imo because no recoil, no mags, just click on head and they die with no complications so you’re free to learn the rest of the game first
I recommend the vpo ak from skier 10k more expensive than sks but has a 30 rounder and doesnt take a year to reload
vpo ak is fine too, just involves fussing with mags when you dont have a ton of inventory space
toploading and internal mags makes the sks really easy in the same way a shotgun is
in which map is the introduction for the mechanic quest thing for the jaeger msg
i think imma do that
woods
Woods
woods!

if i pull up a map could u tell me where it is like does it show?
Intel 2 is actually free money when you have Bitcoin farm Jesus
time to meet the wiki 😄
I’ve made like 2 mil this week and I haven’t been active
Look up piranha guide
Piranahs*
He has like 2 minute guides on every quest in the game
fuck that looks hard to get too
avoid anything that has buildings as much as you can
play slow, play hidden, focus on keeping your bearing
Just find the crashed plane
When you learn the landmarks it is easy af
should i be walking the whole time while playing rat
how do I know where I spawn?
The camp is in front of the nose of the plane
you need to learn the map, unfortunately. look for landmarks and try and figure out what you're seeing compared to whats on the map. the big sniper mountain and bodies of water are the strongest landmarks
can u do quests as scavs~?
The landmark in woods are "that big rock over there" and "those trees"
because i killed two scavs on custom as a scav and it didnt count
you can collect items for a quest, but you cant do most quests as a scav
No, but you can pick up non-quest items, that are used for quests like salevas and stuff
ok thanks I think imma do a scav run and try and do the woods quest thanks for all the help
u can't
yeah i know scav on customs
Quest specific items can only be picked up by PMC
unless you meant it was 2 seperate things
nice! feel free to stop by with more questions
If y'all decide to play reserve today be careful
lmao someone was nice enough to wait and kill me till after I stashed away my stuff 
You don't get shot and somehow your arm gets blacked out
your arm fell off
yea, you arm went into cardiac arrest
Your scav was injured from a previous run extra immersion
silenced sniper from 3 km away?
And now scavs die randomly
Even if he's 10km away the bullet still makes a sound when he goes in your body or close to you
Because I am sure whoever shot me missed
easy
Plenty
He was on the 2 story building next to K buildings
Because he went and killed me after with a vector maybe
So he wasn't that far
asval
why is it so high? ****
Or I died behind the truck
armor piercing as val
Do painkillers stack?
Like the effect
Maybe the time resets for the duration
i dont think so
No
he might have a secret techinique
MAybe he couldn't take it with him
Not everything pestily does is right
And he took it
people just like to profit from stuff that is locked behind mechanic 
Alright thanks
Thats why im asking here obviously
damn i just found a mp7 and i dontt wanna use 20 roind mags kek
You can get 30 rounds from mechanic ll3
I mean if he does pk twice
The 4.1 rail costs 100k on flea but is 1.7k from mechanic
Yes
damn
Does it make a diff?
Cuz it doesnt last as long
But it doesnt stack
It doesn't last at all*
So he wants the longest duration
So no point if he used it instantly
Yeah
Maybe he wanted to be dehydreated
Maybe
Or something
Yeah
-17 hydration per pop
Does that level anything?
Alright could be why, thanks
Hmmm
If I eat/drink even tho I'm full
🙃
I dont think so
Ah
I need to kill scavs from 40 metres
Sad times
this grip is kinda crazy
Then drinking water
what did he take? pills or stims?
Pills
So
Pills
weird
Or is the 15 uses the same duration
nearly died of dehydration cause I decided I shud drink some vodka lmao
Dude i found 2 graphics cards when I was practicing offline mode interchange routes
Ya does not make sense why he would pop 2 at a time
Makes your body take less dmg
i assumed condensed milk would give me hydration early in my tarkov career
And I missed 1 graphics card so my freind took it

Maybe he just wanted to use all the pills for the slot
But i would eat one and drop it
Lol
Actually
I still have the pks rapist gives after a quest
I wouldnt even use the pills
haha
Ya sell them on flea market
I just take them into raid in my rig
Fuck the pks
If I died and lose them idc
Its not worth
.366 FMJ slaps scavs big time
Why not sell them for 3k each
Then use ibuprofen
Now im at 2m finally
No reason to use pks
Ibuprofin doesnt make a diff no?
They trash
Just 15 uses
Shit, I didnt know that
Check the time of pk and hydration debuff
Ibuprofen is like 300 seconds
Pks are like 80
That ibu was same just more for the slot
And take less hydration off
i like using ibuprofen
I just pop ibuprofen like every time im off painkillers
Thanks, ill def sell them now
And carry a aquamari every raid
15 uses is alot , pain killers is annoying
Drink every time im at 50% water
Tip for anyone on this quest: The MRE's don't have to be FIR and the scav kills can be done on any map as long as you're a blueberry ( did these on interchange )
Lvl metabolism
yo anyone know the tax to pay to put a red gunpowder on flea for 90k?
Just try to pist
search on tarkov market
tell you fee
And dont place offer
fr? any map wtf
Nani
yeup
im bouta do it rn then\
Fir
OMG'
Found in raid
DUDE
the issue is I don't have red gunpowder
Just buy them
otherwise I wouldn't be asking

Sry
Also how rare is rr from sturman, I want to farm him since i dont have jager lvl 3 but i tried twice and got bent over both times
40 percent spawn rate
I just chill in a bush for 10 minutes then go to Power station @unborn compass
Got myself a vpo-209 ( use .366 FMJ if you just want scav kills or .366 AP if you want a fighting chance against PMCs, both should one tap thorax )
Theres a diff quest to be blueberry
No like drop chance of rr
Not that quest
Is ti worth buying a itemscase?
Yes
in euros yes
Any case is worth
might do what with sks and bp amo i made like 1k bp ammo lol
lucky scav junkbox is debatable
I mean if i have to buy 10000 euros
??
I already have 5k
fair lol
The only case i would say u actually need to buy
I don't have any items that would fit in it that would warrant a scav junkbox
and i stack backpacks to the moon
literally just use a rig for that small amounts of misc items that I keep
U shouls be keeping any quest items down the line
level 40 and stash level 3 without a scav junkbox I would think I've been leveling fine
how big is your stash ?
How long have u been playing this wipe
So i should buy one?
it's... beautiful
And are u standard acc
Yes
standard 89 days
So beginning wipe
also you could save money over time by not having to sell all your components not FIR
thank you 🥳
But should i buy one?
yes but only if you have alot of money
ss stash
Just questint
Not flexing just saying
I think u would be much higher
If u held on to items u would turn in in the future
Cuz i got to like signal and farming instantly completed
I'm not planning to do anymore quests with all my traders LL4
first wipe 51 days in lvl 31 mucho fun
worst case scenario most of the stuff I can just craft
I wouldnt say junk box is debatable is all
Cuz its important for questing
If ur inv is full of components, u will not have any room to actually hold gear or sell things especially with standard
agreed. junk box is like stash lvl 1.5
even late game its great to have a place to triage your loot so you can keep raids rolling with your buddies
Why are there no scavs spawning at stronghold?
they spawn later into the raid
What's recommended to use on killa? Full pen or go for the legs?
I can manage whatever
vepr hunter with m61
mdr 308 melts him
assuming I don't die alot of times
Oof
shooting him stomach or thorax fast enough fucks up his aim
Is it ironic that I can't shoot someone's legs or arms
what's the chance of reshala spawning and where does he spawn the most
yeah I never see him at dorms
mostly just Gas and fortress
is it worth it to repair this
I know it says it's around like 30-40 percent but one time when I was playing duos with my friend I found reshala 5 raids in a row
fuck that
5k repair isn't bad
honsetly just go without repairing it makes no difference
just the armor is bright blue
i NEED help
meh I sold it to ragman for 17k and bought one 40/50 for 33k
anyone willing to help me out pls
wtf did they do 
nothing that should hurt the average player
wtf
if your income relies on tetriz's you should change it up a bit
anyways help I spawned in at Power Station and need to hide somewhere for 10 minutes where
You got a gpu?
on interchange? a bush 
will scavs head, jaws me
are u naked 
Where do i find alot of scavs?
if a change to a single item fucks your money thats a huge no no
does map matter?
aaaa I'm dumb :(
I was chilling in a bush and a guy opened a cache right next to me
I could've head, eyes 'd the bitch
I've found like 5 tetrizs in a row, no gpus
with a bolty
oh go scav house on woods
right
pretty solid haul, thats like, 350k?
Yeah true
I died with a gpu up my ass and am gonna trade it to someone for a bitcoin and a paracord 
damn dora took an L
I would keep it for your farm @bold kernel
feels bad
he keeps sayin no farm

I still think it's worth keeping around so he doesn't have to buy it later
agreed
dora has like 20 tetris may aswell get your 60k
but hes all "never gonna farm"
in my opinion, less tetris money = more gpu money so they will be more expensive later
nah way too far
i know deez tings
i know people that where buying tetris hopping to flip them kek
I am so bad with money I doubt I'll ever get 3.5 mil for stash L2 lol
definitely wasn't me on the morning of the change 😦
i got 7 gpu at 1.6 , crafted one , found two
damn f
I saw 700k tetris's and 770k bitcoins, and I pounced on that offer
i'd guess that if you started running budget kits you'd be able to progress faster. my memory is that you basically hatch and fully dress?
scav a bunch
get some money
go in chadded out until no more money
repeat
lol no in between cmon now
i thiiink you should consider running cheap chadslaying kits
well now am questing
so you dont go poverty every time you get cash lol
My advice it so rat up and run some chill routes a few times. Then, run the same routes, not full chad, but a little more upgraded. Then go full kit. The trick is to work your way up
The trick is to run budget kits until you get bitcoin farm level 2
do you have eod
your kit doesnt have to be all or nothing.
ive been running avs . tv-110 i think its a good mid ground
yeah i do
i know looting isnt fun, but you're basically forcing yourself to grind cash in order to play the game
well there ya go lol
i upgraded to stash 3 before i got eod
I personally like running sks/pistol for scavs+rig on reserve (assuming u got some amount of keys) and rat and use scav when off cooldown to go on factory
and ive got kappa 3 consecutive wipes on non-eod
yeah i heard having 20 gpus is the best for your money
"i dont have eod" isnt an excuse
imma never buy eod cuz im built different
it took me 4 wipes to get eod
and then i got scared about expansions (gib snow maps)
lol , nah but fr if i dont wana go for cappa then the case chase is usless
can anyone help me learn game
snow maps would be so good
anything in particular you want to know more about?
agreed. im thinkin i delete gamma
i just got game i watched a youtube video but i dont fully understand it
sorta wish i could opt out of stash upgrades too
i double dare you to delete kappa
absolutely not i earned this MFer
fr , i cant wait untill i get epsilon doe
im super far f
We are back for Season 3! Not holding back this season it will be full long episodes with showcasing themes each week from tasking, to looting and then PVP. Hopefully teaching different locations of loot and tactics whilst giving an enjoyable viewing experience.
Ch...
A good place to start is going to your traders and inspecting the greyed out items by hitting mid mouse.
all but fence that is
this guy is one of the best youtubers, and his "raid" series shows a normal playthru of tarkov, with explanations of why hes making the choices hes making
^
pestily the goat
are comtacs worth using?
any headset is worth using, yes
i killed someone for them should I just sell it
best budget headset
gssh is only budget headset
i think it sounds like junk, so i use comtac2s as soon as i feel like i can afford em
those are the ones i have
I think so too
com tac only sells for like 12k just use
sordin supremacy
For some reason
😮 wow didnt know that
this ^
true
i completely understand why people love sordins. they make me uncomfortable
i see so many geared dudes with gssh's

is ulach any good i feel like 7/10 people i kill have ulach
they're super valid
its a class 4 ratnik with no mount
I can hear you from a mile away
saves you from pistols
not really a beginner but can someone help me organize my stash idk what i should keep or sell
lol ok
can a tourniquet be used on a light bleed?
no
esmarch tourniquet
ahhhhh
Never heard someone calling it by it's full item name
Man
My reserve night time went well
banner day, then
shotgun scavs are the worst, lmao
Lmao this is what happened when i complained
@cosmic tinsel did you get kappa solo? how long does the guide take you?
;-;
3rd attempt this time
time to hactchet run
and yes
thats the only quest that keeps me from getting kappa

lmk if you need assistance
tried it 8 times last wipe and gave up
survival not guaranteed
i did it first time last wipe 😄
what order do you do guide in?
thanks, but i dont even have a mic. im always solo
labs, factory, reserve, customs, interchange, woods, shoreline
yeah i was gonna say do hard ones first
yeah, woods shoreline and interchange are all about equally safe
but shoreline is my best map
setup, tarkov shooter 8 and a firesteel are the only things that are really a problem
and the guide
setup, not bullshit?
i'd think shoreline would be more dangerous because of the greatest distance between you and extract
setup is just a grind imo
im extremely comfortable playing the terrain and moving slow
ive got the spawns down to a science
yeah, everyone runs around with slick, killa and m4/hks
yeah thats fair
part of the reason i rush kappa
and always at least two
tarkov shooter 8 is always easy for me and always terrifying for me
sorta feels like luck each time
but only took two attempts this time around
i managed to sneak away and extract with the 2 gpus too pog, hatchet running truly is scum
i dont blame you for doin it
my first attempt i got three kills, but one of them not with the bolt action. second and third attempt i got murdered after a minute or two, probably thermals
i'd like them to discourage hatching more to get people into the real tense poverty runs that make tarkov special to me, but its fine
i dont go interchange anyway 😄
oh no!
What's crazy is that i saw a guy come up from the front of oli and not go straight to teccox to loot it
niceee
did you do it at night with thermal?
daytime with ironsights
run at boolets
hope to win
Meevo
yes m'dora
Should i spend 1.5 mil on a itemscase?
absolutely not you should be rushing btc farm
I have 2.5
if you can't buy it twice, you can't afford it
still go btc farm
dora wat lvl are you?
25
why dont u have btc yet?
Bc you bought eod
you should be grinding jaeger
heres my 15 minute reminder that i didnt get EoD until i had complete btc and stash 3
dora have you been doing to jager tasks haha
Secured perimeter is a pain in the ass for jaeger
Yes
just takes grinding it out
i've been playing this game for a day and a half and have pretty much only done scav runs and my stash is full should I go out with an actual gun even if I know that im going to lose it?
Yeah
absolutely
gotta progress some how
nothing in this game is permanent anyway, doesn't matter if you lose it in 10 mins or lose it in a week
true
realistically yeah, someone's gonna destroy you
learn the little peak spots
but the only way to learn it do die a ton
holy fucking shity
THERE WHERE LIKE THREE SCAVS HIDING IN ONE ROOM
PLAYER SCAVS
its as valid as hatchet running
🤣
secured perimeter is hard if you get the forkilft spawn
Do you do scav runs with three people
i absolutely HOLLERED last night when i found a dude camped in a bathroom in resort
i killed a kid in dorms yesterday and got meta vector and a hexgrid 😄
when they're new, yeah
I onetapped a fully geared chad with a meta m4 on reserve bc he forgot to put he's visor down
not directed to you in particular but I find the term "meta vector" fucking hilarious because of how little work a vector needs to be insane
truth
shift grip suppressor 50 rounder
"is this modding?"
no dude you should be amped
lvl 14 killed a guy with a hexgrid + vector lol
certified gunsmith lol
yeah good shit man
honestly vectors just look really good
truth
they look cool and they're great at holding mods
yeh
i somehow extracted with the loot i got from him 0 food 0 water almost died
black vector is smexy af
thankgod smugglers boat was there
i just lost the other one last night 😦
oof
mostly they sound different... like playing on the bass and treble in yer moms car
my hours are goofy bc i leave game open all day and play market/hideout during conference calls
fax
oh yah i understand
i have 1600 raids
hahahahaha im not good
is the f5 backpack as big as tri zip?
im new to the game so idek
im just hanging out and sometimes i kill people
Don't let the shiny guns get the better of you. Return to saiga-12 supremacy
f5 kinda rides high tho, which is weird
then why is tri zip 70k and f5 40k weird
could be that the f5 rides high
probably profile
do yall think that raiders should have nvgs at night
nvgs are cheap and i dont have strong feelings about it
they're both goin for about 50 on flea rn
get them from Jaeger
Do the mechanic quest Introduction
just find jaeger camp i think in woods
nobodys gonna comment on the lvl 5 dumpstering 3 pmcs in a raid?
oh this could be in the overall screen too
lol someone helped me im only level 9
with?
He lays down and one taps me
tarkov
Tarkov shooter 1
oh it could be either. still good work. for woods, unfortunately the best thing to do is get out there an learn it
im a level 9 w 2.2 mil bc ppl carried me and helped tf out of me tho
keep a map on a second screen and look for landmarks
0.48
damn son
nice!
good job man
20 kills
i just started about a month ago but ive barley played and idk what to do or how to play
how could we possible help with that?
the goal is to shoot scavs
Ik
.48 is insane but once u get farther itll drop cause youll start hip firing etc
Nade nation
JESUS
But like defend me or escort me or somethig idk
need more
please sell those
Need more
labs ?
dovah loves raiders
raiders?
ah ok i ned to learn where to kill raiders
that is a very strong point
i got 3 full of raindom stuff
I got the drugs
Can i change what machines are on so only my Bitcoin farm is on when i turn on my generator?
mostly propatal i never stop crafting
No
doesn't matter
o
same amount of power is used anyway
whats the difference
Either power is on or it's off
if a genny is on its not using more gas or less gass
more modules =/= more power
Gotcha
👀 gennies, huh
19 hour timer pain gotta level up my farm
Regardless, if you have bitcoin farm it's 100% worth to run it 24/7
lol
I was running it regardless just wanted to see if i could cheapen the load
Just buy daily gas from jaeger
only LL2
It's from Jaeger lvl 2
150k per
once every refresh
this is what i got for you alex
i have to fix the control panels on factory for mechanic fucking hate that map ;;/
doesn't the farm pay for itself even at L1
cant do raids rn and this is a very 101 level mission
yeah, this quest is asking you to learn the map, a little bit
I managed to get it by ratting a bit
3 raids
You are better off learning all maps before the next wipe
@cosmic tinsel Would you recommend trading bitcoins for gpus?
that's what am doing lol
no like players @haughty tulip
Oh
nope
you die with a gpu up your arse but trade it for a btc
i felt terrible doing this yesterday
Like in a trading discord
nooo
1:1 feels pretty fair
?
say a hatchet runner gets a non-fir gpu they trade it for a bitcoin
Ahhhhh
Bitcoin is 800k ish per, gpu is almost 1.7m per id say ye
aw poor guy
So yeah trough a trading discord
yeAH
Yes but non fir you don't really get a deal
you do
gpu is only worth 350k to mechanic IIRC, so both sides get a deal
The GPU is worth 1.7 it’s a deal etheir way lol
no
If it's 1 yes
u buy it for 1
oof am trading one gpu for 1 btc
why would u sell it to mechanic lul
I get non fir but you could help ur homies out instead
non-fir gpus go for like 1 btc
But doing it trough a trading discord where traders got rep is the way
if u upgrade the version of ur game will it happen the wipe ur in or the next one?
you get everything instantly
if its not fir its not worth 1.6
Never trade with random people
non fir gpu isnt worth 1.6
It’ll happen instant
Nothing
@eternal heath
pog
happens immediately. will kick you out of raid if you're in raid, ask me how i found out
lol
i kept my stuff
i was doing SBiH lmao
This man was in a raid while buying upgrade lmao
Anyways i have small stores in interchange to learn, adios 🙂
got bored af
🤣🤣🤣
lmao
im not paying 3.5mil to get lvl 2 stash so im just gonna upgrade to left behind
how much is upgrading to left behind?
30$
Learn the maps now so tasks in the next wipe are a breeze
pretty good
That's the best thing you can do as someone new
It's gonna do wonders for me next wipe
I can feel it
yeah the other options are 50$ and 95$
this is the single best advice you've ever given, im proud of you
If you like Tarkov it’s worth it
It's fun
and i giggle but i also disagree
And rewarding
That's how I started
I went there to get my ass chewed
And my face full of bullets trough aimbot
upgrades are super optional. i did my first 3 wipes on base game and upgraded after i got stash 3 this wipe
yeah but bitcoin miner
yeah you're payin to skip the progression
Ah yeah baby once I have a full case of vog-17
You can get it base game
Imma go insane
Just a grind
micro transactions moment
Me no weapon and full of vog17
i know im too lazy lol

LOL
that's why I'm gonna do that
Just go nuts in factory
You can't get a star round to the face if your enemy can't stop running from the nades
Imagine you spawn and the first thing you hear is a grenade
But they won't stop coming
I'd be scared as fuck
Go kill one more scav then
i believe in you
where may I find one more
Me too
faaaaar away I wanna get out at hole in fence
hmmm maybe yeah
go into oli
They also spawn a bit late
hole in the fence is 15 yards from parking lot
hell nah
pussy
lol
wow tough guy
lol
It's better to be an "alive" pussy than a dead man
tru 
Death doesn't bear profits
eh
opposite side of the map
lol
man walks into #beginners-assistance and starts hollerin "pussy"
goshan has parking garage under it
will 100% have scavs
garage, not lot
eeh he only needs 1 no?
Ye
if hes trying to extract hole in the fence then either parking garage or oli
k gonna go inside the parking garage, see if I can find any
Good luck
yeah just cruise around
dont get tapped lol
you gotta kill a lot of scavs at interchange
dead or alive
lol
Early raid at interchange barely has any scavs
tru
You can't see shit at some places
but if you can't see yourself the enemy can;t see you either
go into idea should be a scav in there
am at extract
Shud I get out or go inside (which is basically suicide) and try to find a scav
I have 35 watah left
risk it you wont
went in with a silenced kedr
what do you have to loose kek
noice
where
yeh
nicesu
none of them had better helm damf
