[ancient falcon]

oh true

I see a lot of people doing that, but i didn't know there was someone there

[reef prairie]

you always have to play as if theres someone behind the next corner

[ancient falcon]

most of the time I stop playing or have a break is because of deaths like this

[slim token]

To be fair @ancient falcon I have good internet as well, however when I am in a firefight and die from "an impossible angle" I always find on my teammates streams via disc that I died 3 feet back where I ran from

It's not your internet, it's the servers themselves, and you are connecting to that server along with X amnt of players who have less, same or better internet than you and who knows where they are from. Then multiply that by how many games are happening on that server all at the same time. Your net has little to no affect on the server or their end.

[reef prairie]

launcher shows under 10ms for my nearest servers, and i still die meters behind cover

[slim token]

^ which means the servers themselves are accurate but overloaded af

[ancient falcon]

doesn't seem like it'll get better

been like this for years

[reef prairie]

or my pmc drops dead, and as the screen gets black i hear the shots that killed me

[slim token]

They need to increase server size which is pricy af to say the last

They have a few options, rent out server space, take over another company and use their servers while also shutting down another game, or be taken over by a larger company who will then try to drive tarkov into the ground to make room for their game. There are probably more ways to get it done but ya know, semantics.

[reef prairie]

its not necessarily the "quality" of the servers

its how the clients communicate with the server

its more down to the code than the server hardware

[slim token]

@reef prairie has there or has there not been a huge influx of players over the past couple years?

[reef prairie]

theres a lot of new players, and its still as bad as it was before

[slim token]

If the answer is no, then yeah coding is a problem (but we already know this). If the answer is yes then you have overloaded servers ontop of a coding issue.

Okay so then we are both correct 🙂

bad coding + overloaded servers = stupid deaths

[reef prairie]

sure, i didnt rule it out, im just saying most of it is coding and opimisation

[slim token]

yeah but overloaded servers will amplify that exponentially

[reef prairie]

i dont really know how it was in the beginning tho, im only playing since dec 19 i think

[slim token]

From what i've heard from older tarkov players the game has always been jank

however, i've yet to have the chance to ask if it's worse in their opinion

Mostly because i'm focused on getting into raids for that sweet loot XD

[reef prairie]

the game itself runs much better than it used to, with all the micro stutters and what not

thing is, most people only complain when they die like that

and not think about the situations where they where on the "right side" of the desync

[slim token]

i mean to be fair, you tell a newbie "turn left here" and they turn right...so >.<

[reef prairie]

well, it is what it is

i always think back how overwhelmed i was when i started

[outer vapor]

i cant switch the scope on my eotech hhs

[unborn cloak]

Someone was perching kiba, when I walked out he missed a shot and A magnum buckshot scav killed him

[native harness]

new to the game down to run anything really broke

[foggy ginkgo]

yo me and a mate just started tarkov and we have literally no idea what to do. Is it possible for anyone to help us out?

[lyric cargo]

im not that good but i can show you around a bit

[neat nebula]

should i do the out of curiosity task or chemical pt4

[native harness]

@lyric cargo yo could you inv me im new asf tto

[small cairn]

Chem 4, any other and u will lose skier rep, which is gonna be painful

[foggy ginkgo]

ahh, ty for the offer but someone else is already helping me now

[lyric cargo]

kk

[neat nebula]

too late 😶

[broken vale]

can i get some help learning the game

[inner pasture]

Hey, i'm stuck on some quest on Shoreline and Factory, would someone be able to help me? ty!

[small cairn]

wdym to late I answered you 2 min after

[neat nebula]

yes but i checked discord too late : (

also rip to the guy in that emote

[small cairn]

big f

[dire trench]

Would I be able to get help to get jaegers note?

[lean dragon]

how long should it take to load a game?

[small cairn]

Depends on region, time and map

but max 8 min ish

normally I load in at 5-6 min cuz of other people

[small cairn]

I can help you over a voice call if u want, but Im not ingame atm

[dire trench]

It's all good, I'm tryna get like 1 person cause whenever I keep going I just die

[small cairn]

[inland pecan]

LF 4 bois to come to factory for postman pat

not sure if its beginner stuff or more LFG...

[lean dragon]

what should i do first? upgrading hideout, leveling traders etc.

[fading violet]

at this point of the wipe just do what you want to do

[devout mural]

i just found a labs key card should i use or sell i need money so i i might sell

[fading violet]

sell unless you plan on playing labs

[devout mural]

its one use only so if i died rip 300k and i dont have any keycards so im selling

[fading violet]

you can make big profits on labs from raider gear even if you don't have the keycards

[devout mural]

well i got it from a scav so i cant sell

anyone go any tips on labs or a video

got

[fading violet]

if you have never played labs before you are probably gonna get dominated no matter how many videos you watch

go with a group or just save the keycard if you can't sell it, you can craft it into quest items down the line

[inland pecan]

can you use a keycard to do labs offline?

[fading violet]

yeah and it doesn't consume the card

[upper trench]

Yo I’m lvl 7 and pretty new and I’m wondering if anyone can help me lvl up faster

[mossy robin]

any good keys?

[mossy robin]

do quests bro 🙂 watch yt how to do them and you will lvl up fast ^^

[upper trench]

Ik but when I’m alone someone usually kills me

[undone yew]

Checkpoint is mediocre, Office is good, 110

afaik

[rough scarab]

You gotta keep trying

[mossy robin]

yes

[rough scarab]

I run rat load outs when doing some quests so if I die I don’t lose a lot

[mossy robin]

allright thanks mate

[rough scarab]

Unknown key is for a quest idk if it has any other use

[devout mural]

im lvl 12 and i only did the first prapor quest

[coral tiger]

guess what guys last wipe was 128 days ago 🙂

[devout mural]

i play 5 days of this wipe lol

[long gate]

anyone down to run some tarkov? im lvl 7 and trying to get jaeger quest done

[rough scarab]

I’m actually hype for the wipe even though I just started playing this month

[long gate]

yeah im tired of running into mega chads when i dont have good gear

[fading violet]

I'm hype for scav karma and factory boss

[long gate]

factory boss is gonna be tight

[rough scarab]

Factory boss gonna agro you across the map

All the factory rats are gonna band together to defeat factory boss

[long gate]

factory boss gonna be dead within the first minute of the raid for sure

[fading violet]

you are gonna run into them again two weeks after wipe

some people just no life this game

[long gate]

therell be less of them for sure though

i only see mega chads

[reef prairie]

thats because its too easy to make money

[fading violet]

I mean, what's your definition of mega chad?

bitcoin made everyone super rich this wipe so lv5 armor with a decent gun is affordable for pretty much everyone

[ruby python]

anyone mind running interchange with me and teaching me the map?

[ember harbor]

does anyone know if you should play streched res, i do on other games but is it effective on tarkov?

[bold kernel]

I dont and still get hella kills I believe its personal preference

[ember harbor]

k thx

[bold kernel]

don't worry

[left oxide]

Newb seeks shoreline group? Mainly because I already know the map

[coral tiger]

anyone wanna help me try and get outa reserve lol

[tawny pagoda]

hey someone has 12 Raid Backpacks for sale on the market, if you buy items with enough space but only if they're side ways, will those items be fitted in your inventory sideways?

it's 70k each pack but idek if it can fit if there were nothing in my inventory

[devout mural]

i played a offline raid in lab and holy i killed 7 scav and it felt like a scav boss every time

[unreal horizon]

They won't fit, people put up offers that are impossible to buy to advertise

[tawny pagoda]

alright

thank you

[coral tiger]

advertise what:')

[unreal horizon]

Streams mostly

[coral tiger]

ohh thats sad lol

[unreal horizon]

Yup

[ember harbor]

what are best maps for beginners?

[coral tiger]

your gunna need customs for quests right at the begining

[ember harbor]

thx

[unreal horizon]

have a few maps. Learn customs for quests, and another map for money, maybe interchange?

[coral tiger]

so its always a good one to learn 🤷‍♂️

[ember harbor]

k

[alpine nexus]

I cant get the mp-133 shotguns how could i get them?

[spice dock]

Any NEW players want a bunch of resort keys my friend is quitting tell next wipe and gave me a bag full of them but I have all of them already. ping/dm me

[south cloak]

scavs and or unlocking Jaeger

[alpine nexus]

I have the quest to unlock jaeger but dont know how to do it

[unreal horizon]

make them do cage fights in factory

[ember harbor]

nice

[south cloak]

look up a yt video and also look up a map of woods

[alpine nexus]

Ok thank you what map is it on?

[south cloak]

woods

[alpine nexus]

Thanks

[south cloak]

yep

[unreal horizon]

It's one of the easier quests but it's overwhelming at first. It's the game saying "Go woods and learn how to get around"

[south cloak]

woods is so stressful I dont know it at all really

[unreal horizon]

A lot of people complain about the lack of landmarks

[south cloak]

also scavs there are insane

[unreal horizon]

Stuff is really spread out, so when u see civilization you know where you are

[spice dock]

woods is the easiest hardest map

[south cloak]

first time going there we stumbled on usec camp looking for Jaeger and there was a team with vectors sitting there

[unreal horizon]

The jaeger quest has you going to pretty dead areas, might not even see anyone the whole raid

[rough scarab]

Yea didn’t see anyone when I did it

I was getting sniped at by an sks but think it was a scav

[spice dock]

I've never had such a hard time giving something away, anyone that doesnt already have the keys want it?

[shell yarrow]

i do

[spice dock]

Come to factory 15 & what's your name?

[lime solstice]

Want what

[shell yarrow]

TrveSTepper

[lime solstice]

I have no keys

[shell yarrow]

i just went to factory as scav & got popped

[lime solstice]

I did that earlier and got popped as well scared the hell out of me

[spice dock]

Yea I'll group with you 1 sec

[shell yarrow]

[fading zodiac]

Anyone wana help me quest tonight lvl 18

[outer vapor]

[radiant sable]

It’s usable

[outer vapor]

anything i can improve?

without spending alot

[bold kernel]

hi i am level 17 and need help with lurning woods if any1 is down ?

[dense gyro]

I can help in like 20 min if you want

@bold kernel

[crisp nest]

muzzle is budget

but without traders cost too much for better

srvv is 10k ish more though

but jmac is like idk so much

[oak swift]

Just got back from a raid what should i keep and what should i sell

[crisp nest]

sell diaries to peacekeeper

[oak swift]

k

[alpine nexus]

I am trying to do the jaeger quest but I always die after I get the not or get lost and never make it to the camp

[crisp nest]

keep the key. srd supressor, croutons, guitar pick, and gk02 / matches

and hes keeping useless items

[oak swift]

ik im lvl 4 rn

[crisp nest]

like 366 fmj

[oak swift]

k

[slender wigeon]

I need assistance

[alpine nexus]

How can i do the jaeger quest is there a specific route I can take because I can never find his camp i always get lost

[dense gyro]

have you every come across the crashed plane @alpine nexus ?

I assume you mean the one with the letter you have to pick up right

[crisp nest]

use a map

use landmarks

[alpine nexus]

I have found his camp once but had no idea where extract was

[crisp nest]

take 3k rouble

[dense gyro]

what @crisp nest says, use map :p

[crisp nest]

if u have 3k rouble u follow the back of plane straight

to the bridge

ez extract

[alpine nexus]

thanks

[oak swift]

so is it normal to get oneshotted by every player you run across

or am i doing something wrong

[dense gyro]

are you walking in straight line?

[oak swift]

Nope

the paca

[crisp nest]

paca doesnt do anything

paca is like a security blanket

[oak swift]

well that explains that

[crisp nest]

it just protects from scavs

[oak swift]

k what should i wear as a lvl 4 then

[upper tartan]

whats the best way to kill reshala

[oak swift]

yeah thats kinda my gameplan rn anyway

[crisp nest]

where is he at

no

he has 3 spawns

dorms fortress new gas

bruh

[frozen fog]

anyone here want to play im lvl 11

[crisp nest]

no dont buy armor

scav and run to extract

and use the scavs armor

[small cairn]

honestly no gear is better than shit gear

Cheaper and gives pretty much the same effectivness

[crisp nest]

no usually class 3-4

and how will he get it

🤔

[fading violet]

I still think it's kinda dumb scavs can spawn with tier 4 armor

[small cairn]

Paca is 29k

2x sks run vs 1x sks run with a paca

[crisp nest]

(headset > armor)

[small cairn]

[fading violet]

you're just so vulnerable to buckshot scavs without any armor tho

[crisp nest]

true

i was doing stirrup and i got jiggle peak headshot by ai scav

[small cairn]

I always get heads eyes by them when Im naked

[crisp nest]

same

[small cairn]

I mean atleast paca has a almost 100% return and can be used for crafting after

[compact token]

should I even attempt to get the workbench or do quests before I get the market?

[small cairn]

The way to unlock flea is by doing quests

or well, the easy way that is

[compact token]

I need the workbench to mod this 133 to do the mechanic's first quest

but for that I need bolts and a leatherman

[small cairn]

I mean you dont actually need workbench for anything? You can just mod it in your stash

[compact token]

looks like the leatherman has some specific spawns but I haven't seen any bolts

[small cairn]

Bolts can be found in a lot of spaces

I have found alot e.g. in duffelbags

[compact token]

oh the inspect mod screen can change everything wtf

[crisp nest]

u can buy leatherman

please check wiki lol

[oak swift]

what 366tkm ammo should i use at lvl 4

[crude cave]

First time ever finding a tetris :O. Do I sell it ??

[naive depot]

EKO, level 1 jaeger

[crisp nest]

to therapist yes

[naive depot]

otherwise FMJ from level 1 skier if you don't have jaeger unlocked

[oak swift]

K

[crisp nest]

pk06 saiga 9 and u kill chad :/

next time drop the water and fleece if u need more looting room

[bold kernel]

we found another one

[crude cave]

@crisp nest Thanks for the tips will do. And yea pp treating me nicely since yesterday.

[compact token]

am i misunderstanding or is the only way to buy the mp 133 parts for the gunsmith quest having jaeger, who you can only unlock after the gunsmith quest

[rough scarab]

no

[compact token]

wait i just hadnt accepted the mission

[rough scarab]

i did it without jaeger or flea market

[crisp nest]

🤣

[oak swift]

is dorms a suicide misson when your new

[crude cave]

Yes

[rough scarab]

yes

[oak swift]

what places should i loot then

[crude cave]

I try avoid dorms at all cost lol. I'm new its full of chads going for marked rm

[rough scarab]

are u trying to do operation aquarius

[crude cave]

@oak swift Do cache runs. There are guides showing the locations. Then just sell the items. Good way to make some money.

[oak swift]

kk

are they confirmed spawn or rng?

[rough scarab]

confirmed but the loot varies

[oak swift]

k

[vocal flint]

Isnt it like totally random loot?

[oak swift]

thanks ill do that now then rather than rush into dorms with my fingers crossed

[rough scarab]

yea loot is random but you can get good shit

I got an air filter worth 350k on flea from a cache

[vocal flint]

Dorms is only truely worth it with the keys too. Who wants to use keys.

[hushed spear]

I got the quest to find water in dorms and I'm terrified to go in there lol

[crisp nest]

u using pk06 saiga 9 and u new :/

[vocal flint]

Idk what you call it, cause im pretty bad myself, but the new part of customs, that house with the filing cabinets near unknown scav. Love that place.

[crisp nest]

thats 2 story

[crisp nest]

crackhouse?

[rough scarab]

wait till u get a spawn next to dorms, then sprint to there with the key and once u complete the quest jump out the window

[vocal flint]

Thats it! yknow, I never saw the crack

[rough scarab]

bring stims maybe so u can run faster

[vocal flint]

Crackhouse is banging

[alpine nexus]

@crisp nest I just unlocked jaeger thanks for the help

[rough scarab]

theres 2 good spawns for dorms make sure u know them so you know when to run there

[oak swift]

bruh i just got headshotet by a chad bunnyhopping through the fields

[vocal flint]

The rare bunnychad

[oak swift]

Scared the shit out of me

[crisp nest]

needles on thwe ground of intel and medroom

[vocal flint]

I think you are joining to conclusions

[oak swift]

should i loot one cache then dip or loot two or 3

[crisp nest]

all

[rough scarab]

i mean its literally called crackhouse by the community

[crisp nest]

*most

[vocal flint]

Orr till you are full I guess

[rough scarab]

as many as you can

[oak swift]

k

[rough scarab]

also learn where to hide while looting them because on customs some are very open

[oak swift]

k

thanks

[vocal flint]

Clearly, the community knows too much about crack.

[rough scarab]

its just a name that sticks well

[vocal flint]

I bet the crack does to.

[crude cave]

What guns do u guys like to run. I like smgs I know they hated on 😦

[vocal flint]

shotguns.

[rough scarab]

usually I run whatever I have from scav runs

been sticking to sks/hunter for now

[vocal flint]

To out with, Sks is a banging gun. Cheap and just does the job really. Sure upclose, a full auto will destroy you. But atleast you know, you have a good chance of killing.

[ornate zealot]

Shotguns are great early wipe, but only the KS23 really stands a chance into mid wipe

SKS - great if you can headshot, otherwise I'd suggest a AK-101

SMGs are fine if you can afford at least Ap6.3

[rough scarab]

ak recoil is hard for me to land shots

[crude cave]

Yesterday I went to factory for the first time in a long while and got demolished by nakeds running ks23

[ornate zealot]

you need to mod it around 150-200k

which is pretty cheap for a fully modded gun in this game

[rough scarab]

isnt that with vendor prices

[ornate zealot]

no that's with flea

right from lv10

[rough scarab]

word

cause everytime I watch build videos they use vendors but I dont have level 3 vendors unlocked so when I go to the flea market everything is like 50K

[ornate zealot]

101 is cheap cus the budget parts are sub vendor price and you can still get it around 55 recoil

and you can shoot m856a1s, which are way better than other budget ammos, at around 200-300 a round

[crisp nest]

5.56 (m4 hk) but im poor so i steal them off people i kill

or i use kektor

[crisp nest]

856a1 is like 600

oh it dropped

450 now

[unreal horizon]

230

[crisp nest]

what

wtf

tarkov market hasnt updated yet i guess

wait i craft loads when it was worth 800

welp i got fucked over then

[fallen cargo]

thats like 5 best bulit thats the normal price

[bold kernel]

god damn ervis youre broke as hell

[crisp nest]

i am rn

upgraded stash even more

(and labs)

[bold kernel]

i made like 7 mil last in 5 runs pog

feeling lucky today

[crisp nest]

what map

[bold kernel]

reserve

[crisp nest]

ah

[hushed spear]

So in general, if I want to make money I should be doing cache runs and avoiding players to the best of my ability, right?

[crisp nest]

safest

not best

[hushed spear]

gotcha

[crisp nest]

easy and boring though

i never have money because i pvp

[rough scarab]

im sitting on 5m from farming rouble

I gotta start throwing it away

[crisp nest]

upgrade stash

[hushed spear]

I've been spamming Woods and I feel like I know the spawn/extract/locations layout decent enough now (just hit lv11)

[unreal horizon]

just win 4head

[crisp nest]

i do

but labs

[rough scarab]

I dont have the parts to upgrade

[unreal horizon]

ikr you kill 4 people then blow it all on ammo

[crisp nest]

buy them

[rough scarab]

plus I might buy a game upgrade so thats gonna upgrade stash anyways

[crisp nest]

yup its basicaly paying money for gear at a slightly lower cost

much lower cost

[rough scarab]

what armor should I run

have an m1 rn but sometimes I run trooper

[unreal horizon]

rat rig is fine with a big backpack

[crisp nest]

i wouldnt run trooper tbh

unless u find it

i just find the money is better off spending a bit more for class 5

[rough scarab]

rat rig is 6b3tm right

[crisp nest]

yes

[rough scarab]

usually only buy trooper if I can get it for a decent price

surprised I got my m1 back from insurance though cause I died to a pistol rat a minute into a raid

[tough gull]

Is there a penalty for leaving/disconnecting from a raid (as a scav)? My game has crashed 3 times after the loading screen and I'm ready to give up

and now this lol

[crisp nest]

no

u just die

[compact token]

wow woods is the worst

[tough gull]

nvm I loaded in the 6th time and ran like hell across customs from RUAF Roadblock

[compact token]

no landmarks visible from more than six feet away

plenty of land mines though

[tough gull]

just barely made it, no stamina wasted

[crisp nest]

signs

[rough scarab]

u can see the big rock thing pretty easily

[errant jasper]

fk me i left my fuel in the generator overnight

[crisp nest]

i did that last week lol

at least it upgrades skills

[errant jasper]

bruuu

[bold kernel]

LFG Customs #15 im from EU lvl 13

[crisp nest]

#pvp-lfg

[hushed spear]

You can't put NVG and the small visor for LZSH on at the same time, right?

[inland stag]

NOPE

oops caps

no you cannot

[crisp nest]

i just use ratnik with pnv nvg

very cheap

[inland stag]

yup

[rough scarab]

is the lzsh visor worth the money

got one in a raid and not sure if I should get the visor

[hushed spear]

tyty

[crisp nest]

no

the class 2 one is ass

[fair estuary]

i found in raid some shotguns and it wont let me give them to skier for the quest

help :)

[crisp nest]

needs to be toz

[fair estuary]

dangit

why :(

[rough scarab]

it literally says toz

[inland stag]

cuz tozes are the best gun

[fair estuary]

no?

[rough scarab]

it does

[fair estuary]

it does not say toz

[unreal horizon]

"so find me TOZes"

[fair estuary]

bruh

i dont read that shit

big xd

[fair estuary]

yes yes

[fair estuary]

i just missed a toz in the last raid :D

😎

[hushed spear]

rip

[fair estuary]

smort

[rough scarab]

just do it in a scav raid

you can fold them in ur backpack so you can carry both and another weapon

[fair estuary]

gotta wait 20m B)

[hushed spear]

you level strength when your weight is yellow, right?

[crisp nest]

yes

[hushed spear]

tyty

[crisp nest]

based on distance moved

2 stam bars reaches the diminishing returns threshold

[hushed spear]

is strength worth focusing, or just kinda get it as it comes?

[crisp nest]

once u get at least 30 end

elite end prefewrably

[unreal horizon]

max endurance before you worry about strength, shouldn't take long

strength is hard to lvl without endurance

[crisp nest]

you can do it on the side with buckshot at the start of raid

[hushed spear]

my endurance is 5 atm (close to 6), so I'll just keep doing that for now then

[crisp nest]

but for just strength just use sas in docs

[unreal horizon]

you'll get endurance by just playing the game

[unreal horizon]

I wouldn't advise this tbh

Use shotgun shells, or insure empty fuel tanks

[crisp nest]

u dont have enough weight though do you

im talking like if u go in naked

to train stamina

[coarse mango]

i ran the sas in docs as well it works too

i like it more then shotgun shells since u only have to buy them once

[unreal horizon]

it works fine but you need to spend way more on docs

[crisp nest]

cant you resell sas drives to pk or therapist

[inland stag]

pk

[crisp nest]

yeah

[inland stag]

once you are done

and i use the docs for money holding

[grim pulsar]

Can anyone help with first task on customs

[inland stag]

sure thing muzar

want me to call you or something

[unreal horizon]

300 shotgun shells is 1/4 the price of a single sas, that's why I use shotguns shells

[coarse mango]

gonna be getting on now dm me if any new players need help with quests or just want some chill runs (i'm NA)

[inland stag]

but if you die 4 times in a row because of being overweight it makes it about the same

oh wait i just did some stupid math

nvm that makes sense

the only thing that you really have to buy in the case of sas drive running is the docs case

cuz sas drives dont cost anything as you can just sell back to pk

[inland stag]

just friend me and i can help you out

[hushed spear]

Is there anything that I really should buy on the flea market if I'm level 11?
Or should I be trying to grab mats for crafting things like the scav junk box?

[inland stag]

how much money do you have

[sour musk]

it's just killing scavs tho right?

[inland stag]

no its mp133 as well

[hushed spear]

I have 600k atm

[inland stag]

really painful without a dude to help you that has flea

[sour musk]

yeah but those don't need to be found in raids

[inland stag]

unless you are lucky

yup thats why you can get someone with flea to help you out

[sour musk]

just do introduction quest get Jaeger and buy 2 mp133

[inland stag]

s t o p b e i n g sm a r t

[grim pulsar]

Yes its mp133 too

[inland stag]

introduction quest requires W O O D S

[sour musk]

@inland stag then do woods

[inland stag]

and that sucks when all you have is a pistol and no will to live

[grim pulsar]

And i need one with selwa kits

[sour musk]

but if he's new then that's fine

[sour musk]

that's absolutely right

[inland stag]

being a freshie on woods and doing the introduction quest was the most painful thing ever

[sour musk]

@grim pulsar mp133s are found on scavs u kill

[crisp nest]

its not that bad if u take bridge

[sour musk]

@inland stag yeah cause no map knowledge

[inland stag]

yup

[grim pulsar]

Thanks @sour musk

[inland stag]

its horrid

[crisp nest]

i have a line up for bridge to plane and plane to bridge

so u just go straight

[inland stag]

really

[crisp nest]

yes

[inland stag]

that wouldve made my life so much easier

[sour musk]

tbh I don't have the game yet but ik ”some” stuff

[inland stag]

i had to go in like 5 times

[crisp nest]

ill send a pic to show yall

[sour musk]

waiting for sale next week

[inland stag]

just to look for the plane

[rough scarab]

I managed to do intro quest solo

[inland stag]

i did it after flea market so i had debut done

[sour musk]

the wrecked plane tru tru

[rough scarab]

I was going in circles trying to extract though cause I misread my extracts

[coarse mango]

@inland stag i can take u into woods and drop u some gear just lmk

[inland stag]

oh my god

[crisp nest]

u stand at one corner of the large wood building

[inland stag]

oh no im lvl 37

i got everything done that i want

[crisp nest]

and look at one corner of the other small wood building

[inland stag]

i just didnt know that trick

and i kinda hate woods

[crisp nest]

i came up with it on the spot xD

this guy i was helping was stacked

but didnt know how to get to mill to outskirts

so i just got him past there for the letter

and then to outskirts

[crisp nest]

same

[rough scarab]

i just followed the lake to outskirts and prayed I didnt get sniped

[inland stag]

woods in general is just praying to not get sniped

[kindred vault]

I hate it for exactly that reason

[crisp nest]

ive gotten a lot better at it and i just play it when i dont want to see any pmcs

but yeah if theres a guy with a thermal or anything like that you're fucked

[inland stag]

i really only go woods now when i have an svd and i want to kill some geared dude

very specific reasoning

and thats why i dont play woods

[unreal horizon]

I like svd with 7n1 on woods, most snipers only wear class 4 anyway so you one tap chest

[inland stag]

yup

[unreal horizon]

anywhere else though use snb

[inland stag]

you see

this is why i play reserves

because it is so much better

[crisp nest]

im tired of reserve because of always getting 3rd partied

"oh shit i 1 tapped that guy" gets deleted by a guy who ran across the map to clean up the fight

[unreal horizon]

go down in the ratacombs it's safe there

[inland stag]

raiders are fun on reserves

[ember pendant]

7n1 won't 1 shot a c4 armor unless it's half durability.

[inland stag]

occasionally you will get third partied but ive had pretty good experience with it

[crisp nest]

no

[inland stag]

thats why we have 2 shots

i cant snipe for shiz

unless its on reserves and i have an m1a

[sour musk]

lmaoo Mike ratsowski tells u to go in the ratacombs xd

[unreal horizon]

it's safe there

[sour musk]

yeee

[unreal horizon]

except when im there then you're getting shotgunned in the knees

[rough scarab]

what maps do raiders spawn on

[inland stag]

reserves and labs

[compact token]

is there a way to get a compass before lvl5? I'm trying to navigate woods and I keep wandering in circles once I have Jaeger's message and getting killed

[inland stag]

there is a place in woods that i know

like one of the shelves in the grey building by shturman can spawn like anything

marked circles as well

[unreal horizon]

come to the ratzone, we have raiders

[inland stag]

but

as somebody said earlier

[unreal horizon]

don't you get a compass from jaeger?

[inland stag]

just go to the bridge

[unreal horizon]

really early

[rough scarab]

ive yet to play reserve lol

[inland stag]

then go straight out from the bridge towards the plane

oooo its fun

@crisp nest

[rough scarab]

ive mostly been on shoreline for pmc and customs/interchange for scav runs

[inland stag]

he said something about how to find the message and plane easily

[compact token]

extract bridge too?

[inland stag]

what

[crisp nest]

yes

[inland stag]

the extract bridge

[crisp nest]

bring 3k rouble

u need 3k rouble

[inland stag]

isnt it like 3001 roubles

cuz some glitch

or was that fixed

[unreal horizon]

3000

can confirm as of last night

[inland stag]

ok

[ornate zealot]

glitch was fixed in last major patch

[crisp nest]

yeah

[rugged yacht]

dude what is this game

i just got called bad by a cheater

[compact token]

welcome to gaming

[bold kernel]

I mean that's an ego problem not a game issue

[compact token]

you must be new

[small cairn]

2 guys that could help out with a 5 man stack for factory?

[rugged yacht]

I killed him with a gl40 and he messages me "really why u gotta kill me"

i called him a cheating shitter

and he said dont be mad that im having fun and ur not

and i said I dont need cheats to have fun cause im not dogshit

and then this man really says "if that was true you wouldnt be using a gl40"

[bold kernel]

my rebuttal for that would be "and you wouldn't be dead by now would you?"

I know the speed hacks

If you really wanna have fun be the flash

[rugged yacht]

he has blatant aimbot and esp

tryna shoot me through walls

[bold kernel]

I mean it happens in a lot of other games too

like even apex has that

[rugged yacht]

what kind of cheater calls someone else bad

expecially when he dies

[bold kernel]

Like I said ego problem

[rugged yacht]

Even i can kill GL people unless they are very good

[bold kernel]

Some people cheat for very specific reasons

[rugged yacht]

I know he can see that im holding a gl40

cause he was trying to bait me

[naive depot]

i've actually never used a GL

[rugged yacht]

i use them when i get them

[bold kernel]

honestly GL is a holy grail

[rugged yacht]

i dont buy them though thats lame

[naive depot]

when i get thermals i just vendor them

been seeing more than usual lately...

[bold kernel]

I mean after a while when you realize its easy to get money in the game I think it would be

unless you still have gear fear issues

[rugged yacht]

yeah ive tried to explain

[bold kernel]

but that's mostly spiting the other player I'd say

[rugged yacht]

to people that gear fear makes u lose more money than being a dumb monkey brain like me

[naive depot]

when you're scared of losing your gear it hinders you

you're not gonna be willing to push in a firefight when you need to

[rugged yacht]

if you dont got ur keys in ur rig then u got hella gear fear

[naive depot]

i used to have slick hk gear fear

i could use anything but that combo

[rugged yacht]

if you ever want to do a fun challenge

do labs

check all spawns

spawn raiders

put ur keys in ur rig

[naive depot]

i do play labs!

[rugged yacht]

and try to kill all of them

[naive depot]

no

[rugged yacht]

even better with no armor on

[naive depot]

i dont have any colored keycards anyways

[rugged yacht]

i have all but blue

[naive depot]

i had green and black last wipe

the other day on labs i accidentlaly hit my sprint key while throwing a nade and died

[rugged yacht]

lol

[naive depot]

in black the last bullet in my mag hit a guy in the head through the glass cage in the middle

😅

i'm not great at that map yet

[native tartan]

nice

anything i should change before i go labs?

[naive depot]

remove helmet

[rugged yacht]

helmet

[native tartan]

alright

[rugged yacht]

mdr supressor

its wrong one

[naive depot]

everything is loud in labs

[rugged yacht]

use thunderbeast

[naive depot]

he needs an ultra 5

[native tartan]

alright so no helmet and better suppressor

[naive depot]

trade sight for trijicon rmr 💪

[rugged yacht]

no

[ornate zealot]

I'd actually keep the helmet for raider protection lol

[native tartan]

holo best

[naive depot]

no point in helmet

[rugged yacht]

yeah take helm off

use it on another map

[ornate zealot]

I've been dinked so many times, peeking over those railings in labs

[rugged yacht]

use propitol instead of morphine

[ornate zealot]

off raiders ofc, players just go through

[rugged yacht]

that backpack is a waste

[naive depot]

you can get one off a raider or player if you want one

[rugged yacht]

do the long backpack or no backpack

[naive depot]

and no insurance so you'd be wasting 80k frauding it

[crisp nest]

propital not morphine

[naive depot]

the real question is what's in the container

[native tartan]

chaos

good now?

[crisp nest]

yes

[native tartan]

alright thanks

[crisp nest]

vaseline low u might run out

[naive depot]

yeah get more lube

[rugged yacht]

no he wont

lol

ur fine

go labs now

[native tartan]

ill be fine

[crisp nest]

aight

[naive depot]

he needs 10/10 golden star

:B

he is gaming

good luck

[native tartan]

thanks

im glad they increased therapists stock of key cards

[ornate zealot]

same

[crisp nest]

same i still get shit on though

[ornate zealot]

I have close to 40 lab cards now

[crisp nest]

my friend said last time at end of wipe they were 1 mil on flea

and all bought out

[naive depot]

that's why i had 40 of them

endless labs

[native tartan]

just realized i forgot a laser

[naive depot]

axel just thanked me for subbing to his channel 😳

[ornate zealot]

40 keycards would last me like an hr

[naive depot]

thanks twitch prime

[ornate zealot]

:^)

[naive depot]

i don't think i could queue up for 40 raids in an hour with the loading times lmao

[ornate zealot]

I always get instant headeyes

thanks desync

[native tartan]

i dont think it went to well

[naive depot]

that's why you bring cheap gear :^)

[ornate zealot]

oh hey he got instant headeyesed too

[random hare]

[naive depot]

[naive depot]

[random hare]

I can try

[naive depot]

open your launcher and see what your lowest ping US server is

[random hare]

Lemme see

Toronto and Beauharnois

but I believe it's Canada

[inner pasture]

Hey, i kinda need help, started a week ago and stuck on factory/shoreline quest if anyone is able to help a bit (Eu)

[naive depot]

canada is fine

[crisp nest]

thats east coast canada

[naive depot]

what's your ping at on those

[crisp nest]

near the ocean

[random hare]

108 ping

[reef prairie]

i played on those servers this morning, also with around 100 ping

[sterile spade]

Offering help, taking beginners or experienced players along for raids. Not just carrying, but actually teaching you, helping loot, kill bosses, so when you'e not with me you can have sucess. Send me a DM if you're interested. NA & EU players welcome

[inland stag]

why are keycards not getting like insta bought from therapist anymore

[reef prairie]

higher global limit

10k or something like that

[inland stag]

ok

[old gulch]

How can I level easy in the beginning

[inland stag]

quest

[quasi lake]

tasks , maybe kill scavs

[bold kernel]

Just Yonked a bunch of stuff from dead people at dorms

[rugged yacht]

bruh

i want to learn woods

[bold kernel]

Wtf happened to the backpack I was wearing rip

[rugged yacht]

how do you learn a map with like 2 landmarks tho

[inland stag]

its pain

[rugged yacht]

cause im going to go for kappa next wipe

[ember pendant]

Recognizing there are dozens of them and not thinking there are only 2.

[compact token]

which ones? feels like the solution to every quest is the flea market

[rugged yacht]

o

theres like sawmill

and that one place with alot of loot

[inland stag]

well theres really not many that have a solution thats a flea market

those are def the easiest and should just be done

but once you finish those just do the customs ones

[pure mist]

literally just do every quest you can

[inland stag]

cuz those are easy

and really whatever ones on maps you know

[ember pendant]

Theres a good starting point Wojan

[crude cave]

Soo apparently no one checked crack house. 2 free intelli and an unlooted chad. 10/10 scav run

[inland stag]

then learn the final ones

[compact token]

also how am I supposed to do the therapist quest when everyone keeps salewas in their SC

just loot and hope?

Reserve med crates?

[pure mist]

craft

[ember pendant]

Learn those, then you can start worrying about the smaller callouts

[inland stag]

craft

[ember pendant]

Not many people do this late in the wipe.

[pure mist]

a lot of the FiR items for rquestyou can craft

[inland stag]

they need to be fir so even if they are in their sc it doesnt really matter

[crisp nest]

dont tell me that was u camping dorms 2nd floor

with a pilgrim

[ember pendant]

Crafting really isn't a great option pre-10 though

You'd have to find hemostats to craft it which isn't available from vendors.

[inland stag]

the therapist trade

really i would just hit med places for salewas

[ember pendant]

Not FIR that way.

[rugged yacht]

peavy

do u know woods

[inland stag]

you dont need fir things to craft

[crisp nest]

i do xD

[ember pendant]

Yea, my I loathe the map after the expansion

too big / not enough players

[compact token]

I should probably go do the customs scav kills mission

[rugged yacht]

can someone circle where the loot is

i searched up woods loot guide and nothing came up

[crisp nest]

1 sec

[pure mist]

starting stash include hemo

[ember pendant]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

That'll have all the info you need for loot

[ivory ether]

It does? wtf I never saw it lul

[pure mist]

what edition do you have?

[compact token]

EOD has 3x iirc

[ivory ether]

Base game

[compact token]

I feel like getting to 10 every wipe is going to be a miserable slog

[pure mist]

ah, i have eod that's prob the reason

[ember pendant]

You get 2 if you have EOD. Basic game has 0.

[ivory ether]

Oh ok

[rugged yacht]

ok i see

[crisp nest]

@rugged yacht near all the good loot

[ivory ether]

Too many icons

[willow pivot]

woods wasnt too bad after i learned the map its tough at first but you will get it

[rugged yacht]

i gotta find a sherpa

to carry me in woods

thats so sad

[crisp nest]

im good at woods

[willow pivot]

whys that sad?

[crisp nest]

just i dont kill shturbro

[rugged yacht]

im level 53

[ember pendant]

I mean there is a sort button on map genie. Here's an example of just the caches

[rugged yacht]

if i see shirman im going to shot him

[crisp nest]

same

i dont hunt him though

[rugged yacht]

o i see

[ember pendant]

I used a sherpa at 64 during my second wipe. Whats sad about learning from a more knowledgeable resource?

[rugged yacht]

i guess

[willow pivot]

damn okay! im 31 and i can run woods solo know map decent enougg

enough*

[rugged yacht]

im woods 8 if anyone wants to wood

[ember pendant]

Swallowing pride is a huge part of life. No reason not to reach out when you need help. That's just general advice, not just tarkov.

[rugged yacht]

i tried leraning woods like 2 weeks ago but people think im trolling

I thought it was obvious considering the only extract i could name was outlands

or whatever its called

[barren raptor]

nein

[compact token]

MP-153 SF seems anomalously good for a scav weapon - I've been taking it in as PMC it's been so good

[ember pendant]

I mean, probably doesn't help you troll lol. Funny how things come around, but if you have the right attitude you'll find help.

[rugged yacht]

i see

[barren raptor]

@rugged yacht *outskirts

[willow pivot]

Let me build a kit @rugged yacht I'll join ya

[rugged yacht]

[lapis marsh]

just getting back into the game, would love some help if possible lmao, lvl8 with some game knowledge too

[inland stag]

am i stupid

i accidentally reloaded as i was exfiling

and it was a 30 rounder of m995

[ember pendant]

Win some, lose some.

At least you kept the rest of the kit. Just a happy little mistake.

[lapis marsh]

are no mistakes, just happy accidents

[willow pivot]

@rugged yacht what's your in game name?

[rugged yacht]

in woods lobby

[willow pivot]

I'm in woods lobby too

[rugged yacht]

nah in the discord

[ember pendant]

His name is WojanTV btw.

[rugged yacht]

^

i moved down

[willow pivot]

[rugged yacht]

it will join the lobby

[lapis marsh]

just getting back into the game, would love some help if possible lmao 🙂

funny

can i get a real suggestion by chance?

Hey could anyone with atleast lvl 3 traders maybe help me out with something? Send me a dm.

[crisp nest]

what traders at level 3

[hushed spear]

Why does it take like 10min to load out of the game on an NVME SSD?
I get my ass kicked 2min into a raid and then I have to sit and stare at a circle spinning for what feels like all of eternity

[gloomy oak]

RAM is the biggest factor if you ask me. How much ram you got?

[hushed spear]

64GB

[gloomy oak]

nvm

lol

whats the ssd and how much storage?

[hushed spear]

it's a 1TB Samsung EVO Plus NVMe

[gloomy oak]

ok, so theres a different issue here then

you clean your memory?

[hushed spear]

Loading into the game is super fast, just loading out is really slow

[gloomy oak]

thats weird

[quaint trellis]

anyone wanna run with a noob need help to reach ten

[gloomy oak]

i dont have your specs and it takes me about 20-30 seconds to get out of game

[hushed spear]

I've seen some other forum posts about it from last year and the only notes were "it's a known issue"

[gloomy oak]

has it always been like that?

or something that just started

?

[knotty rune]

@spiral cradle cheif u comming back?

[hushed spear]

yeah, always been that way since I started playing

I did do the verify integrity thing too

[gloomy oak]

hmm, i would try to run a cleaner

and clean off the junk on your pc. it helps drastically if you havent done that yet

also, you can try going into settings in game and see if auto ram cleaner is selected.

i dont have it selected personally so maybe thats whats happening here after each game?

hope that helps. it sounds like something like that could be causing your delay

so I need help being better 🙂

[devout mural]

i was using mdr

[grim spruce]

[unreal horizon]

[ivory ether]

[grim spruce]

[dire rock]

this chat is good for asking questions you may have about the game, use sherpahub if you want a guide to help you in raid or just try your luck on the lfg here

[ivory ether]

oh ok

[devout mural]

this game eats ram i just order 32 gig of ram lol

[dire rock]

indeed

[ivory ether]

difference between kirasa and zhuk 3 besides the number of armor points?

[dire rock]

material- zhuk-3 is UHMWPE which is the best armor material in the game and will be repaired better and take less dmg

[crisp nest]

zhuk 3 better material

by far

[ivory ether]

cause kirasa is a hell of a lot cheaper and offers roughly the same amount of armor points

[ivory ether]

oh ok

[dire rock]

kirasa is good enough if you dont want to spend a lot of money

[ivory ether]

20 second loading time into offline factory

lul

[dire rock]

not much to load

[ivory ether]

yeah, usually it takes like 2 or 3 minutes

[exotic sail]

you've earned it

when was this added?

[brisk birch]

Why are my icons so messed up?

[candid steeple]

worth selling to dealers or flea?

the RB-VO key

[small cairn]

65k ish on flea

so probably about even after tax

[candid steeple]

should I just sell to dealers then?

[small cairn]

yeah

[candid steeple]

alright thanks
