note that tarkov is vertical, 59 is 90 in most other games
I feel like high fov REALLY messes with my aim
Hmm... I'll have to try that
?
IDK
yeah jaeger level 1
thanks for the shell recommendations
you find an extract
and where do i find the extraction points
double tap o to see those available
use a map
there's a map?
online
oh yeah
dude i cant get jaeger
?
then go in a group
btw can u get jaeger with scav?
no
no one really goes there
so if u dont go mill u shouldnt die
just go to bridge after getting the note
dont cross the bridge
pay the bridge 3k and wait 1 minute in between the car and the payment sign'
i just killed 2 level 5s
why not just use them?
gshh-01 or comtac2
headsets are preference
use the ones you have then add a 20 or two
finally finished upgrading everything i want except scav case and btc farm
aight
what map do you think val would be good on?
how many gpu's do you have sitting around? btc might not be worth depending on how far you are
2
alright
it'll just increase margins a bit
you think btc is worth it then?
bit coin?
yeah
they have bitcoin
aight ill grind for btc and scav case this week
just craft the blue's into mag boxes and you're almost in the green on fuel
it'll make your farm feel like it's more
top left of the map
are you playing without a map?
Anybody care to help out a lvl 1?
ive heard scav boxes are good profit to craft if you have sbih done for the grenade cases
which i dont
oh mb i missed that message
but i can save a bit on the tax of the 3 magcases
I think its worth, but not worth my time lmao
also having JB crafting means you can't have magboxes crafting
lmao yeah dont want t o calculate the margins ill just stick to magboxes then
^ this is a pretty big deal
oh yeah
how many times should u repair an m1 before ditching it
also its not the # of repairs that matters its the max durability remaining
word
Earlier I found a slick in a stash and just now I found a GZHEL
easy cache runs
Yup literally all I do when I scav on customs, I hit up the top right part of the map because there is 4 stashes by eachother
lmao
usually I run from like warehouse 4 to crack house hitting the caches there
ill just play reserve if i need money though
A lot more of a dangerous route imo
I love customs you can make money a decent speed just hitting up stashes
reserve is really quick if u get RR or if you know the rat spots in d2
Okie dokie
IC is great, scav and spawn highway, grab the 5 caches on the way to railway
and if you spawn inside grab pvp leftovers
why get leftovers when u can create them 
What is IC spawn?
Wise words...
interchange
Ahh ok
is the only way to gain reputation with the different vendors to do quests?
yeah
EOD
the only in game way
ah
yeah
what’s the fastest way to lvl up peacekeeper
can anybody help with extract locations in woods?
can someone teach me how to play
quests are really the only way to level up vendors
also gotta sell a certain amount of money to them too
pk2 only needs money
Anyone want to help with any of these tasks?
do you have peacekeeper level 2?
yeah
pretty sure u can do the mp5 one easily
think he has most of the parts minus the mag
What does weapon mastering do for you?
you need to complete friend from the west 2, from skier
u dont need to do tasks for him to do gun smith part 3
u just need to buy the parts in the link i sent
the quest is from mechanic u already accepted it
IT lets you stay ads while reloading
also gas analyzers are kinda annoying since u just gotta search for them
ive had some decent luck finding gas analyzers in crack house on customs
you'll find them everywhere, just play normally
i picked up rye croutons thinking it was for the jaeger quest but its emelyea croutons
i had a bunch before I unlocked sanitary standards but I sold them not knowing I needed them
is the p90 a viable chad killing gun
or is it just 4fun
i was looking for budget builds
as long as you use ss190 yeah it's good
up there in the top 3 or 4 smgs in my opinion
i still run a mp5 alot lol
Anyone wanna help me with punisher part 4 /dm me
why do 4/5 of my scavs have mandolorian mask on
and why is p0rnhub promoting star wars today at the same time
MAY THE FORTH BE WITH YOU
may the 4th
and that is???
may the forth be with you
why does health care privacy gotta be such a pain to do
which part?
2
yeah the resort can be brutal
probably my favorite map but it takes some getting used to
wait until you get to peacekeeper quests 
I killed a low lvl coming out of resort and I feel bad this isnt you is it?
ah the timings just lined up perfectly
unironically the best run i had on there was pistol running with 2 buddies
Just about the same level , when i go there i never use rock passage even it’s open, people camping there crazy
There is really not many people there
Especially this late into the wipe
Sometimes you run into 1 or 2 solos
the 1st one has lower recoil?
yes
yeah
i didn't move my mouse (i didn't control recoil on both)
do you need to see the build?
supressor makes it have low recoil
yhea but they both have one and diffrent supressor won't make that much of a diffrents or does it?
the 2nd one has a supressor?
oh i see now
i mean its just the recoil stat
1st one has a better build
LOL
tf?
if you're going for a loud m4 use a jail break
@unreal horizon but how does the 65 recoil one not have any recoil though
yoo can someone help me with tasks
shit stock/buffer tube, shit barrel
imagen the better one i accidently found on interchange on the ground
i thought so too
that's not what 65 recoil looks like
it pulls down on screen
even my 40 recoil kicks harder
all m4s kick harder than that
Offering Help, If anyone needs any help, new or experienced, shoot me a DM. I am willing to help anyone. Teaching maps, learning loot runs, you name it.
WE GOT LUCKY
got that quest and nostalgia done
killing ai scav does not count as in raid?
?
It should unless a player scav took it off a player
scav ai
Are you doing the quest for skier with the toz and armor?
The armor has to be a 3m
3m?
raid shoty and raid armor is my task from ski
Yeah needs to be a toz shotgun and module 3m armor
It doesn’t exactly specify in the quest it’s 3m but it is
All he says is “shitty white ones” so it’s confusing if you don’t read the quest description
yeah skier isn't the most descriptive guy
only 1 shitty white armor though but yes confusing
Only white armor unless im forgetting something
yeah
Yea but most new players probably don’t know the different armors
at the start of the game all the quests were like puzzles
I want new quests to piece together
this wipe they changed it for no reason
I tried handing in a kirasa not knowing it had to be a 3m when I did the quest
lol
that quest teaches you that the wiki is your friend

How long should it take the first wave of raiders to spawn when I turn on an exfil in labs?
i think its a percentage chance to happen. ive had them not spawn before.
np
Anyone want to run though these low level tasks? dm me
any beginners wanna join us
New player some experience with FPS almost total beginner looking for an experienced player or two to help me out Ive played customs and interchange and im trying to learn interchange DM me
@empty pilot I'm new to the game, would love to play with anyone
Pretty new player looking for someone to help teach me and maybe run some quests, or just play for fun either way.
anybody wanna team up and play with a loser like me? lmao i just got the game yesterday and was wondering if anyone could help me out and give me some tips and tricks to the game 
I'll play with you, but I don't have much game knowledge.
Ill play with anyone that isnt out to instantly murder me
anyone want to play
anyone wanna come join a couple meta geared sherpas
Is insurance really worth it
Yes, especially if you're new
Most people won't take your stuff as it isn't very good
lfg im lvl 28 trynna do sum task runs and get money lmk
can anyone lookup on the market "tk fast mt" price for me i dont have market unlocked yet
10k
yo any one up to help me out on crafting guns
do you have your workbench built?
damnnn thank u beagle
no
just need to modify a shot gun to a certan req and i dont have the atchments to do it
if you look up the gunsmith task on the wiki it'll give you an example of a gun you can build for it
ok ty
Yeah some of the higher tier mechanic gunsmith quests require level 2 and 3 traders unless you want to buy the overpriced stuff on the market would recommend holding off until then
Get to lev 10 then do the gunsmith stuff bc there kinda annoying to do without flee once u get flee u can breeze threw em if u have the cash but they pay for themselves half the time
is thier a difference between the altyn and rhys t besides color
it has more hp and is lighter ty
anyone looking to carry?
new player looking to get into the game. anyone down to team up?
Do I actually need to find the shit or is it enough to just hand it over?
I think the bar goes down if they're not in your inventory
Not sure though
Had that happen to me in the skier quest where you need to find in raid flash drives
wym by bar goes down?
The 0/3 numbers go up if they're in your inventory
But yeah you need to find them yourself if you want them to have the found in raid status
yo i need help
this is an old quest, way before GPUs were expensive to buy or craft
Yeah, I've never seen gpus in my 100 hours :DDD
I've seen one before in a random store in interchange
found it by accident
regret I didnt keep it now cus I needed the cash
anyone in aus lookin to help a week old player?
Trying to get the bronze watch for prapor on customs RN
Jesus, I always run through every gpu spawn in interchange and never see anything
and this was about 2 month ago when they was like 2 mil )) but I died )
they will before the release, whenever it will happen
soon™️
"soon, but not soon-soon"
Hi, anyone in Asia willing to carry a 4 day old player?
Willing to play any map, just want to learn them and be of any use
i am now on 567,000 moneys
I've been at 0 a few times
rip
dont ask just be happy
May the 4th be with you
IS THAT REALLY THE REASON LMAO
yep
Thats super cool
they said all player scavs will be like that today
so stash those helmets while you can )
Bruh rip me then lol I should have ran scavs back back back then lol
Idk that was a thing is it still going on ?
yeah i was like wtf why do i have heavy trooper????
yo pls anyone in oceania asia or whatever able to help me in customs?
ikr, i had like 3 of those in a row yesterday, idk what's up
ooooh, that explains it
i think its over though i only got 1 heavy rip
fun event though considering it was may 4th
yeah i liked that they did that wish i knew before though i would have alternatenated my pmc and scav
pls
Hey, kinda new player could need help for a few tasks and a bit of inventory management, i don't really know what to keep and i'm full asf
@inner pasture are you level 10 yet?
i know there are some things you wana keep for Flea market sales
if you check Tarkov Tools. it can help you understand what to do with what items, Vendor to dealer - Flea market
yeah lvl 13 bought a lot of boxes but still can manage my stuff x)
and thanks for tarkov tools will check that!
what kind of stuff is cramming your stash? is it gear, weapons junk etc
almost everything
hmmm, that makes it difficult to just say
im in school RN but when im done i could help you out in a call if you havent gotten it solved yet
seems good i'll put some screenshot of a few of my boxes
i sell most things straight away. i keep about 2-3 wepons handy
yeah sounds good, you can send me the screenshots in a DM
what lvl are you, and what stash size?
but i did manage to get a scav box, wepon box, 2 mag boxes and 3 ammo boxes early
i have a medcase, magbox, ammobox, scav junkbox and an icase
thinking about snagging a wcase
Im level 11 with normal stash size
I got really lucky on a couple raids
and i had a friend drop me some Chad gear to help me not insta die all the time at the start
region?
eu
if EU i can help you out after school
yh
shoot me a DM so i remember, i tend to forget stuff when i focus on school
For gunsmith part 1 i cant find the muzzle from a guide... what attachments can i use to complete this mission?
tbh i just went by the wiki, you dont need to stress about doing gunsmith
I followed the wiki but the remington tactical choke isnt being sold at any of the vendors
its sold by skier 2, or on flea when you reach level 10
personally i just did other tasks and then bought it off flea when i unlocked it
in the top right there are a few requirements
By spending money with them and or selling, doing tasks for them, and leveling up
PMC level, trader rep (gained through quests) and money spent (bought and sold)
Wait on the gunsmith quests
How do you hand over a shotgun and body armor to skier? I am trying but cant find it anywhere
You go to skier, press tasks, find that certain task and press it, then press "Turn in"
do note, that you need a specific shotty/body armor
it is not just a random one
both of them spawn on scavs, 3m armor, white one and the TOZ shotgun, folding stock and bolt action
Any reason to keep water/food in stash?
To eat/drink after a raid where you ran out of food/water 
but realistically, no
u could just buy it from flea when needed
I seem to always be maxed when I'm in stash so thats why I'm confused lmao
I mean yeah
u do regain it while sorting inventory and stuff
but if u just did a long raid
or someone shot your stomach out
then you are gonna miss some food/water
Ah okay got it, thanks
can anyone help me find selwa kits and mp 133 shotguns
Mp133 u can buy from jaeger and salewas are craftable
dont have crafting station dont have jager
!sherpahub
But there is a queue and who knows when xd
hi, can someone help me with navigating shoreline? im currently trying to complete the peacekeeper quest Scrap Metal
what region mate?
@small cairn I think when i made mine it took about 4-5 days to get someone to reply. Its quite a long wait now.
Mine took like a week, lots of new players and not enough sherpas
i think i'm beginning to lose gear fear
Ive literally spawned into 5 PMC raids so far and been headshot within the first 5mins of the raid. Time to give up me thinks haha
don't give up
just if you have 3 bad raids in a row take a break
yeah
if i see my concentration is going down i just eat a little snack and sit on the couch and restore energy
and then after 10-15 minutes i'm fresh
its not concentration just M61 rounds popping me from god knows where
if you're having that much trouble with getting m61'd out of nowhere then you should avoid long sight lines for the first couple minutes
i still think you should take a break bc people can headshot you so maybe ur just running around on bad spots
that's when people are most likely to be watching spawns or common player routes or looking for kills
It was on reserve kept spawing in the fields
i still think u have to take a break
if you spawn at mg fields then yeah you're kinda sol, try to run to one of the knights buildings asap and maybe get underground
or gl fields whatever tf spawns over there
Yeah i got to the back of White knight with the hole in the fence and got nailed
What was the armored rig called again
Can u describe it?
It was the white one 4 2x slots and 2x slots under them
Lvl 4 I thikn?
I need tthe diaper incase i shit myself when a chad pulls around the corner
as if you have time to shit yourself before you get head, eyes
true
Man I got throax'd by a NPC scav from at least 200 yards with a slug just a bit ago
3\m whys the Fast MT helmet cheaper than penis helmet?
fast mt replica?
I had 3 scavs shooting at me 200meters away from me with a shotgun and they took out my arm. I know this because I later checked their corpse and got very upset
Piss off people who think u got the real one
high ricochet
cosmetics
it's good because of ricochet chance
I see we have different values
ah well i've been using it for like ages lol
and you can mount the stormtrooper mask
pfft high ricochet vs pst gzh maybe
ricochet is independet of armor class
ricochet chance is independent of the bullet fired.
yes i know. was a joke
308 go bing into the distance
nice to know using that helm wasn't just for show for would be player scavs turning against me and had some armor
gotcha
20????? wtf i take like 40 extra in my container, 10 in gun, and 2 10 mags lol
if you already have some, id take more into the container
always go for a full stack, you never know what happens
^^^^^^^
Does anyone wanna help me find prapors convoy on woods? I'm struggling on that map
this but if you're using a hunter don't buy a stack, use what you have around
pls change optic
i found it like this xd
thats why i said if you already have some
what optic do i use?
put a 1x on that shit please it hurts my soul
anything but that lol the dot is really unclear
still, i rather have to much ammo than not enough
which sight is good
opk
OKP?
oh, its called okp
the reticle is a bit weird at first, but for the price its pretty good
but is this a reasonable gun to do custom stashes with
and kill any thing i see really.
within reason.
Yeah should be fine
also whats with screw nut prices, they are like 16k now but last night i was selling some for like 32k
In all honestly idk why people cache run customs but do what you're comfortable with
what lvl jaeger do you have?
ik but I figure there are better maps for it
because if you know the map its pretty risk-free and fast
shoreline is good, you can fill up really fast then run around the edge without seeing anyone
anyone got a cache map line thing?
like a "run"
i have one i usually do in my mind
I figure there's better things to do on customs, but I guess that's the appeal, no one else will be doing the caches
thats right
if i do stash runs 90% of the time most if not all of them are unlooted
and it takes only 10-15 minutes
i usually do that
with my scav
and just stop at whichever i have
road to mili, rock passage or scav checkpoint ect
I don't really have a PMC one, usually it just goes down and towards ZB-13
i usually go over the bridge, through the "east forest", take the stash in the container and from there basically the same
Yeah i suppose the first two stashes are most commonly looted
i dont take the power line and passage between rock stashes and instead go for the other two
and the three stashes around zb-11
which is better BPZ FMJ or Ultra Nosler?
i just found some at it will fit my mag lol
doing a scav run rn
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.
bpz. ultra is the "leg meta round" but it's 308, that's dumb
hey
so what uh
what ammo do i use
i don't know why
but i decided to make a cool vepr.;
good ammo = good gun hopefully?
.366 ap
It’s the best of its class
will 60 rounds be enough
Depends on durability
Yeah
you need private clinic which you won't be able to do till lvl 35
ah got you
Why do quests when wipe soon Tm

first wipe= learning wipe
im going for kappa next wipe
I c
Or speed run it real quick 
Skrrg
🍉

Btw reset isnt in 6 hours is it 
Offering Help, If anyone needs any help, new or experienced, shoot me a DM. I am willing to help anyone. Teaching maps, learning loot runs, you name it

soon I hope tm
My friends said 2 weeks
See all of you in October 
doubt AF
I rlly hope I can finish school testing and then enjoy the wipe
It probably won't be until summer
it may not be until northern hemisphere fall
i hope it sooner, sooner the better
but i've started picking up other games again
i'd like soon but I also want it to be a great wipe and if that takes more time, so be it
good 5.45x39 ammo?
BT is minimum acceptable, BS is what you want
How do I end my scav run early without extracting
what about 7n39?
almost as good as BS
like for example if I were to get stuck
disconnect
bs it is
escape, disconnect from raid
I'll be able to join another raid? with my pmc?
igolnik (7n39) is higher pen than BS, but its not a meaningful difference and bs has more flesh damage. igolnik has a chance to not kill scavs with 1 tap to the head, which is the big difference
gotcha ty
leaving the raid is kind of its own penalty
there's the counter in your stats, but no actual penalty
not trying to correct you mike, just pointing out why theres no additional penalty
yeah I gotcha
Yeah I wasted a scav run on getting stuck, that's my pentalty lmao
In fact I don't think leaving scav runs even counts to the stat
Is tetriz worth selling on flea or therapist rn? Sells for 75k on therapist
probably therapist, I haven't checked but the value won't be high after the nerf
Alright thanks
It is worth it, when BTC barters come in stock, usually goes to 100k a piece
But uust vendoring is safer
it counts in the scavs little stat screen; but your PMC stat screen with 'run throughs' etc will remain untouched
so im only level 3 and ive either died or i could not find extract for every raid ive done im dirt broke with almost no equipment. im looking for some buddys to play with or someone to guide me
alright appreciate it
@slim knot we can do a quick scav run together and get out with some random shit if u like
can i get some help
With what
everyting lol
If it’s questions I can help
i want someone to play the game with me lol
Ah
is there an LFG for factory quests
Anybody able to help with the Introduction woods task please. Too many trees
Offering Help, If anyone needs any help, new or experienced, shoot me a DM. I am willing to help anyone. Teaching maps, learning loot runs, you name it.
Hey. looking for some helping hands to play with. I am newer to the game and am still learning everything.
factory 5 man?
what scope should i put on my beautiful vepr?
Any EU wants to help me out. I am new to the game, watched some vids. I kind of know what to do I guess 🙂
probably something with zoom, you might want to play at range with that gun
what gun?
a 1/6
scope*
valday
valday or something
thats my personaly preferred with a vepr
no its 1/6
oh
1 times and 6 times
there are 2 valdays get the bigger one
valday ps-320
hows this
yeah
CMS, IFAK, VASELINE, HEMOSTAT
oops caps. but yeah
and spare rounds
anyone got cache map for shoreline
Browse the maps of Escape From Tarkov! You can find loot maps, locations, hidden secrets and more!
how do i unlock valday from traders? like anyone know who it is?
prapor 2 or 3
nope:/?
you can trade for it at 2, buy at 4
i got all traders 3 other than pk
can someone help me figuring out whats worth keeping in the beginning? im kinda overwhelmed by my inventory rn, would appreciate the help
Hello, I just got Tarkov and i'm trying to learn. Sadly Youtube videos aren't being very helpful. If anyone could have the time to hop in a call and teach me the basics I would be greatly thankful. I'm 16 years old, and can speak English rather fluently. Dm me if interested.
fun little scav run on woods lol
+another svds and ak105 plus shturman key in takedown
shoreline confuses me so much
i went in there, went to where supposively 4 stashes were, couldn't find them, ended up at a extract somehow.
Woods is a hidden goldmine so many people overlook it
What’s everyone doing with their stash now that wipe is coming? I’m just running labs consistently with basically no clue how to play it
whens wipe?
how do you know wipe is coming?
^
Offering Help, If anyone needs any help, new or experienced, shoot me a DM. I am willing to help anyone. Teaching maps, learning loot runs, you name it.
Wdym wipe is coming
A lot of people are estimating wipe in October or November
100% I love the new Woods map, its my go-to scav run honestly, especially hitting the new USEC base on the south end in the open field, medical supply dream right there
I highly doubt wipe will last until the end of June
No wipe has lasted a year lol this one won’t change especially with the current economy
no one does
so actually, yeah it might.
I mean Jordan has a point tbh, the economy is fucked, everyone is thicc, i bet it won't be long
im pretty sure itll wipe in 2 months
It tends to wipe in summer too
They probably won't announce it like Decembers until the day before again
I wish they’d announce it before
Where it was just "tralalalala, oh yeah wipe tomorrow"

I’m just running labs like there’s no tomorrow in the mean time
@celest sage I presume it’s so they don’t set themselves deadlines with the updates
One view is that people would play and pvp and have fun. On the contrary the game might just die for a bit because people know nothing matters
Yeah but it’ll suck having a bunch of extra money when wipe
Nothing already matters
Still I can’t wait for wipe
not to Chad Maximus with his 20 rnd drum of ap-20s
I mean yeah but i'd rather they wait till mid summer and have one full of content
i feel like i have liked having the end of this wipe though to learn the ropes.
I’m finished my final exams on the 18th of June so the 19th of June would be nice lol
ratnik
same im hoping for end of june lmao
I hope its whenever i have time off school.
Mid summer I would say
Give people time to burn through their gear
Give people time to start wipe makes two sets of people happy
How did u guys complete gunsmith part 7? I Cant find a substitute for a stock
which stock
SGA stock
My school ends in a couple weeks so I just want wipe asap
then u level up one more time first
I’m done in 18 days I think but I have exams that determine the rest of my life so not an ideal time to play tarkov lol
or you get it dropped but its not worth it when you that close
Yeah I have like 3 more weeks including this one but we aren’t doing exams this year because of covid
i have no exams this year too i think
did someone just buy every reapir?
lvndmark did that a few weeks ago
well my reapir sold for 2 mil, I love the free market economy
labs
its a joke
lmao
Hahaha yeh I’m joking
can "the guide" be a run through or do you have to wait the 7 minutes?
if you runthrough you dont progress but dont fail
ok, thanks
so try not to runthrough
yeah\
Kill some scavs and rat run
do labs first
lol good call
had a friend do labs last and trust me, we shit our selfs a bit
I'm trying to buy new guns, but it says i dont have the items needed even tho i have the rubles
Most people do labs first just because it's a bitch. Not sure what the go to map after is, but factory used to be there before the whole 5 stack thing
check "fill items" at the bottom
Your my savior matey
yeah unless your a nut just play protect the president with your friends and you straight
i would say woods just because you cant decide whether you die or not
if someone is sniping
you can play safe but some spawns are bad
facts i'd do woods as one of the first ones
then reserve/shore/customs
random shit happens on woods all the time
Can i use ak55 magazines with my sks
sks can only use internal, 20rnd, and 35rnd
Would anyone care to share a tip regarding how to get decent weapons?
are you lvl 10+?
try and do a lot of scavs run when you can do some factory kill one scav loot get out
depending how experienced you are just playing it slow and killing any scavs you see will give you some good guns/loot 10+ you can just buy them
How do I get out of the factory or the woods.
ok thanks, btw which map is a good starter map in your opinion?
you can find tons of maps online
Oh thank mike
lol I'm not sure how you've been playing without a map
what do i get rid of
@dusty jackal woods is really friendly to new players imo, it's just hard to get your bearings without a map 🙂
I shoot, kill and die.
get rid of all of it
and woods is hard to get your bearings with a map lmao not many landmarks to go off of
I'd say you always spawn by a landmark on woods
whats the safest way to do a reapir trade , for example if i want to bring it for a friend
Put it in container
can't lol
you cant
I wish
Can u put in on a mount ?
not anymore
Or just no matter what u can’t
no matter what you cant
Oof
thermal can't go in container, then you'd just toss it in when you're getting shot at
Go factory then and don’t die
just because you spawn at a landmark on wood doesnt mean youll find another. its very easy to get off course on that map. the only thing the maps even good for is doing the quests. the loots pretty shit and way to spaced out
Woods is a pretty friendly map tbh
food
i use my compass and the big rock that people like to sit on to find my way around, i just face north then see where the rock is and i know where to go from there
If you spawn on the west side you see the mine signs, east usually you can see the fence/wall, middle you can find lumber or the big rock quickly
like there aren't many buildings on woods, but you'll almost always see one
so you know where you are because of how distinct everything is
The rocks help lol
i was helping someone out with search mission last night and realized just how little i can navigate the north side of the map lol, we got there it just took a minute
I would say honestly the maps that have your quests, when I started I prefered Customs over all maps. But, if you dont play it right most maps are a mess haha
all the small lakes have pretty distinct shapes so you can tell off of that
I spawned north side and accidentally ended up in the middle trying to go to bridge
Worked out for the better though cause I got like 3 pmc kills and a few scav kills
i didnt expect hardly any PMC combat yet for some reason there was like 4 people around usec temp
the only confusing spawn for me is blue, I always think i'm at red for a minute
i hate the usec camp spawn
woods would be nice if there wasnt so many people in bushes
typically my biggest issue is the big rocc
there was a guy prone in a bush somewhere
as im walking
i get legged 10 times with 762 bp
people dont usually sit in a random location prone for no reason they get bored, at least in my experience if someone is sitting around in a bush its because they are watching something
it was like 200m behind the mill
with 0 sightlines to anything except the rock to right of mill
idk what to tell you then, maybe he was scav hunting, watching a body you didnt know about or hes really just a bush wookie for no reason
because somebody always stands on top of it 🤷
true but he wasnt even in a good spot
yeah i dont understand the people that just sit up there and miss everything
was another 25m into the forest
i was going farrr past the mill to go to scav bunker then bridge
but hes in the bush proned
just unlucky
just unlucky, maybe he heard you coming and dove in the bush
like how yesterday i killed gluhar and a guy chased me across the map
but i ran out of stamina at the jump to go to cp fence
😔
sad days
reserve is such an unlucky map
no disagreement there
another time i was tryna get to extract and i meet a guy at the extract that i dont even have and i die, gg to 85kgs
i was going past heating to hole in fence
come d-2 its the safest extract trust me
he was behind/in a shack next to heating pipe :/
i was a scav
Ah
everytime i get stacked on raiders i dont get heating pipe
so i die to dirty rats tryna steal my loot
Should I even bother with 5.45 guns until I unlock better ammo than PS? Should I stick to SKS with 20 Rnd mags 7.62 PS?
How do you go past heating to hole in fence
That’s opposite sides of the map
reserve
Oh wait I was thinking of cp fence
the 2nd half
sks is fine for questing until you unlock better stuff
Yeah I got it
at lvl 1 traders is there any way I can make my SKS better other than 20Rnd mags?
That's the best you can get
just play carefully and work on quests, you'll be lvl 10 before you know it
is there any more profitable way fo leveling up peacemaker besides selling slim diaries? (buy diary for around 30k and sell for 277 dollars (35k) to peacekeeper)
does anyone know a good website with all the current flea market prices or does it not exist?
tarkov-market?
tarkov market is good
aight thx
XD
spawned with an sj6 mule and 50k
either your scav whas an ubsolute chad or he just has shit ammo or aim
he had shit aim
XD
damn XD
also if you get a shitty scav with a gun that cant kill raiders, try killing the scavs on factory
so many keycards
one time we 5 man camped gate 3 as a joke while voicelining and we went MIA
ive camped the extract twice and lost both times because the guy had like slick and vector
I've 5 man camped reserve, we covered every exit and we all had GLs
whats the reward for the hadn in to labs access cards to jaeger
ive gotten the train at 14 mins
Has anyone completed the shooter born in heaven quest? I can't seem to nail down the playstyle needed for it since I either never see anyone or get sneaked up on or counter sniped
but also as early as like 37
Its 19
@compact zenith ive done it
yea
How long did it take you?
I'm about 10 raids in without a single kill for now
what map
i did reserve first and all i did was sit in the towers on the outside of the map
Reserve is free, you can use the mounted grenade launcher. Woods you can go on sniper rock, or wait for another dumbass to stand on top. Shoreline has tons of spots i'm sure you can find. Customs can be tricky but play around the river
Howoh long it will take to depart
on customs you can sit in customs office
I guess I'll just keep hanging around large gaps where people might come through
My main problem is getting countered though
hey guys im l=new to the game i need a teacher
So I guess my spots are obvious
and make sure you pick busy servers so you don't go 40 mins without seeing anyone
you want to get 1 or more per raid idealy
Sure, I'm in EU and playing in the evening usually grants full lobbies
How long it will take to depart ples
I just feel like I never see anyone but stick out like a sore thumb myself lol
check wiki
random i think
also note that most people don't set out to complete sbih, most of the kills happen naturally from playing
@bold kernel it leaves after 7 mins
Myeah, I'm thinking I have to set out to do it since I rarely get in a position where someone is 100 meters from me and not shooting at me
I'm guessing you're just playing in obvious spots. For example someone will always check sniper rock or the rocks along the road at shoreline
lf now players to help questing
I was in mid raid
You know that the type of material changes how much damage you can take? @bold kernel
you were on discord lol, wiki won't be a problem
does it say when scavs spawn
they spawn at the start and in waves throughout the raid. Idk if the spacing on the waves is known
After 2 hours in offline mode I finally found Jaeger's camp, the convoy and USEC camp. Along with some extracts
For some reason I feel burnt out even after offline mode lmao
@rapid minnow tarkov can be mentally draining
but think about what you know now vs what you didn't before
offline mode can be pretty boring
Yeah that is true
Now I know how to complete Introduction and Search mission in 1 raid
🙂
Next step is learning how to do it under pressure with all the chads and rats everywhere
just try and stay invisible, try not to sprint too much and keep your eyes and ears out
play slow and sneaky but when you get into a fight get aggressive
when you're under geared pushing and playing offensively can be useful if they know where you are
w + shift to abuse desync rofl
High or low FOV?
preference mostly
is there a "best" way to practice pvp without risking gear? Offline scavs are either walking into walls or free kills so i dont get the actual feel of a gunfight
yea sorry bout that i had full ass of loot and didnt want to die
but just go factory or dorms etc. but with a cheapo kit
you can't practice pvp without risk
the only way to learn how to fight people, is to fight people
bruh reserve is op
I see, ty
like scavs have better loot than me :c
you'll get there soon enough. just takes alot of deaths
Scav runs or up the offline scav difficulty
Lvl 32 already and i still cant win ambushes past like 15m
Ive been running "impossible" scavs but theyre buggy asf
you'll have a eureka moment where you start winning a lot more fights, and that's when tarkov gets really fun
another way to practice is to go scav, and don't leave until you kill a player
slow down. if you are sure people dont see you don't stress your shot. wait for the right opportunity
also learn to pointfire more instead of ads all the time
Best way to detect people? I always turn the corner and someone is there
hear
slow down and listen more
always wear headphones
