I just never bothered

[fluid drift]

how many human players are in a raid?

[unreal horizon]

depends on the map

they all say

[strong barn]

random salewas just spawn all over the map randomly now

like on boxes and on top of barrels and stuff

[compact token]

that info is visible on the selection screen

[fluid drift]

oh, so little.. i thought that the map is swarming with human players lol

[unreal horizon]

that's factory, they're all different

[bold kernel]

im in black i casually see 5ppl out of it

[crisp nest]

lmao

[unreal horizon]

shoot them in the face

with boolets

[crisp nest]

get gl 40 5 piece

[naive depot]

5 pmcs daytime 6 nighttime on factory

[crisp nest]

can be 4

thats the max

[compact token]

How do I move around reserve without exposing myself to every sniping perch at once

[wary valley]

u pray to ur god

[bronze laurel]

basement

[crisp nest]

night time

[pure frost]

dont play reserve

[shy pendant]

how do i friend people and message them without finding them in a que

[compact token]

Won't most reserve night pmcs have NVGs?

[crisp nest]

where are you going

[vale geyser]

hey guys, what are the more valuable things to loot from dead players?

[bronze laurel]

might have, but also alot of hatchlings and rats trying to avoid fights

[shy pendant]

can someone help me

how do i message people

and friend them

[compact token]

Mostly it's the run from K to black knight and dorms to white knight

[bronze laurel]

that's a very vague question. Depending on what gear they have and what they have looted

[bronze laurel]

sure

[shy pendant]

how do i message people and friend them

[bronze laurel]

in your home screen there is a messages tab

[bold kernel]

can i run eft on 8 gb of ram

[shy pendant]

okay

[crisp nest]

very poorly @bold kernel

[vale geyser]

@bronze laurel i had my first squad wipe on dorms, they didnt loot any barter items, their gear was relatively the same as mine, class 4 helm and class 5 armor, i ended up taking their mags for ammo and their guns

[bronze laurel]

barely, i suggest upgrading to 16

[shy pendant]

and how do i messgae people, it just says prapor and the tradors

[vale geyser]

would it be better if i strip parts instead of the entire gun?

[crisp nest]

yes if u dont have room

[unreal horizon]

put 2 rigs in your BP, put as much as you can into the rigs

[bronze laurel]

so you want to insurance fraud. ditch your own gear and grab theirs

[crisp nest]

strip sights suppresors shifts stocks

[bronze laurel]

this

[crisp nest]

idk then sorry

[vale geyser]

damn... means ive lost out on alot of loot

[crisp nest]

i dont go to those places on reserve

[vale geyser]

thanks for the info tho, lesson learnt for the future

[unborn cloak]

what level are you?

[vale geyser]

i just reached 30 with about 270 hours in game

[unborn cloak]

EU or NA

[crisp nest]

ah so im doing fine tbh

[vale geyser]

asia

[bronze laurel]

in message screen top right it says friends. click that. and in the window that opens you can search for people and add them

[unborn cloak]

[crisp nest]

i am level 26-27? with 195 hours

[compact token]

Those three are like 75% of the map? Do you spend a lot of time in tower?

[crisp nest]

20 of which were afk i think

[crisp nest]

bunker

[compact token]

Ah

[crisp nest]

then run up to cliff

[bronze laurel]

learning to loot properly (and fast) is just another tarkov skill that takes time to master

[vale geyser]

ill put more priority on weapon parts if i run out of space next time

[crisp nest]

watch pvpers

they loot only the good stuff

[vale geyser]

i just grabbed everything i saw and stuffed it in and left

[crisp nest]

like bakeezy will only take pk06 and supressor if he has no room for meta m4

[compact token]

If you kill someone in the open, consider ditching your rig and bp to take theirs and searching it somewhere safer

[crisp nest]

because those save him 150k next build he does

[crisp nest]

yes this is smart too

[jolly lily]

How do I do SBH shoreline I never find people long distance really should I just sj6 and try to cut off another spawn for 100m or what?

Same with reserve everyone runs straight under ground and if I don't get in first minute everyones underground I feel and I never see them long range again

[crisp nest]

dome

[jolly lily]

Domes spawn is rng though and by the time I get thier everyone's inside or underground 99% of the time

And they never come out

[bronze laurel]

sit in white pawn and snipe people going to tech room in black bishop, just over 100 m

[jolly lily]

The other 2 maps were easy I just don't know how to approach shoreline and reserve

[bronze laurel]

and people ALWAYS go there

[jolly lily]

OK what would be best floor then to do that

The 2nd one ?

[bronze laurel]

i think 3rd floor has a small room with good view. load into an offline and check it out

[unreal horizon]

reserve you can use the AGS if you want, counts as headshot

[pure frost]

if you lose rep in a trader would you go to trade 3 from 4 for example

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[crisp nest]

yes

[compact token]

my scav had everything blacked except my head and my left arm and I still made it to sewer manhole with the last beef stew can I needed for jaeger

[light furnace]

all that for stew XD

[keen kraken]

What all gets wiped in a wipe and when is the next one?

[bronze laurel]

everything

[light furnace]

is there anyone willing to help me understand/teach how to play

[bronze laurel]

no set date yet, but probably (hopefully) within 2 months

[bronze laurel]

i got like 30 mins if you want

[keen kraken]

So stash, hideout, and currency too?

[bronze laurel]

yes, all of it

passive skills

you name it

[cosmic tinsel]

if nobody is around, pestily has a very complete new player playlist, and a "raid" series that shows the core gameplay loop on youtube. your best bet is checking out the parts of that that elude you, continue trying raids (use cheap gear, pistols or SKS), and ask questions as they come up

[keen kraken]

That sucks. All the stuff I got from my edition will be gone. 😔

[cosmic tinsel]

no you get it again

[light furnace]

only if you got the time i dont want to be a bother if you go over your 30min

[light furnace]

ok thank you

[bronze laurel]

nah man, gimme a direct call

[bronze laurel]

oh no, not that. you will be reset to how you account was when you bought it

[cosmic tinsel]

im sure you guys are both fine but given some DRAMA last week i feel obligated to remind you to use shadowplay

[keen kraken]

I 2ouldnt mind a walk through with somebody going with me. We could even do offline mode which would be ideal.

[cosmic tinsel]

no multiplayer offline mode yet :/

[keen kraken]

So the gear, weapons, ammo, etc that I got with the package will be there but all new stuff is gone?

[cosmic tinsel]

you get starter gear + EOD/whatever edition gear every time you start a character

[keen kraken]

😔

[cosmic tinsel]

you will have nothing more, nothing less

[keen kraken]

Well that's good

What is shadow mode?

Yeah I do have eod

[crisp nest]

all

[crisp nest]

shadowplay

nvidia shadowplay

like the clip software?

[simple cosmos]

guys i need some help with eft

ive been playing the game for a month and yesterday i got a new pc

and now

everytime i try to load into a raid

it crashes

[crisp nest]

is the new pc worse

[simple cosmos]

it is literally 10x better

[ivory ether]

is it only with eft ?

[simple cosmos]

yup

[crisp nest]

reinstall the game

[simple cosmos]

r6, csgo, etc running fine

[simple cosmos]

i did

nothing

sometimes the following pops up and freezes my pc

[keen kraken]

Best map to start with?

[carmine juniper]

Customs was my go to, the rest of the maps have a dedicated play style/players. Woods is for snipers, interchange is full of rats, reserve is full of chads or the biggest rats, factory is small and for pvp only. Customs is the most mixed of them all so it gets you accustomed to the game a little better

[cosmic tinsel]

customs is the most balanced and lots of early quests are there

[carmine juniper]

And shoreline is only the health resort the rest of the map isn’t even used

[cosmic tinsel]

interchange and reserve are easy maps to run at loot on, and are popular for that, but i dont think sprinting at loot spawns is a good way to learn... the game

[crisp nest]

customs

[cosmic tinsel]

maybe scav factory too if you wanna practice killing stuff

[crisp nest]

@cosmic tinsel do you have a picture of callouts for resort?

[keen kraken]

Cool thanks for the info

[compact token]

my thorax is blacked

can I fix that in raid

[rough scarab]

if u have cms or surv12

[wooden oak]

anyone want to do a raid with 2 low lvls were both noobs and need teaching

[crisp nest]

no

its thorax

[cosmic tinsel]

man for resort you call out the floor name and the direction of it relative to the center of resort in my experience

[rough scarab]

oh really

[naive depot]

thorax can't be fixed in raid

[crisp nest]

alright thanks

[cosmic tinsel]

towards or away from admin building

[crisp nest]

ive only heard the hallway called barbed wire hallway or whatever

[cosmic tinsel]

side of the hall, about how many doors down

you do your best but if you say 306 west thats not gonna mean a ton to most people

[crisp nest]

ah ok

my friend knows all the numbers lol

and another calls them by whats inside

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah i mean

[bronze laurel]

yea, like that

[cosmic tinsel]

if you're rattin resort maybe you get there

but boy maybe try other maps if you get that good at resort XD (jk, play what you like)

[eternal narwhal]

@wooden oak ill help yall out

[crisp nest]

one is a shoreline main lol

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, sounds it

[crisp nest]

and 1 is just big chad gamer

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

i do sweaty resort raids but basically we just clear each floor and leave

lootin resort makes me sleepy lol

[crisp nest]

i came with altyn because i died last time and i couldnt tell where they were

took 3 flicks of the mouse to turn

[keen kraken]

What is the groups thing about?

[crisp nest]

my teammate ran up behind me and i didnt hear him

[eternal narwhal]

yeah beefy armors make you slow down in so many ways, not worth it imo

i will always prefer using some headphones and a weaker helmet rather than not hearing anything

[crisp nest]

ill use ulach and maybe m32s when pvping

[compact token]

made it out

[crisp nest]

m32s have comtac sound but arent quiet

[compact token]

killed 2 scavs and a PMC

[cosmic tinsel]

ive been preaching tac-kek and condors or shattered mask lately. every pvp bullets goin thru a class 4 helmet

[pure mist]

fast mt/team wendy/aiframe is more expensive but you can put faceshield on it

[cosmic tinsel]

im gonna throw it out there that i have yet to see fast/exfil/airframe in labs

[pure mist]

idk, i run it all the time

ulach is my budget

[crisp nest]

i dont want to get 1 tapped by bt

[pure mist]

altyn for factory

[cosmic tinsel]

are you guys being killed by bt lately

honest question

[eternal narwhal]

all the time

[cosmic tinsel]

im only gettin hit by m61 and 855a1

[eternal narwhal]

bt is the best ak budget ammo

[cosmic tinsel]

i love bt

[crisp nest]

i get hit by ps when ever i dont go geared

[pure mist]

all the time

[cosmic tinsel]

i havent been killed with bt in like 2 months

[crisp nest]

and if im geared its ap sx or 995

[cosmic tinsel]

alright

[cosmic tinsel]

this

[crisp nest]

i was in dorms i yelled dont come up 3rd

a guy runs up 3rd and kills me in a room

i died to his bt

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah i mean if you guys are getting killed by junk ammo, class 4 is a good pick

[crisp nest]

it was my teammate

[cosmic tinsel]

im definitely not getting killed by ammo that cares about armor class

[crisp nest]

i thought it was an enemy but i still didnt have time to react

when u get outplayed by your teammate

[cosmic tinsel]

XD

but im also spending most of my time on labs/rez/dorms so it might make sense im seein the angriest dudes

[compact token]

most of my deaths are raider head, eyes or .338 rounds blasting my lungs out the gaps in my ribs

[eternal narwhal]

yeah the way tarkovs connections work youre about a quarter of a second behind everyone else

[compact token]

thats not the message I told you to respond to discord :/

[eternal narwhal]

they see you before you see them

[crisp nest]

thats because u dont understand scav ai

if you peek with only head

ur dead

you cant repeek either

[compact token]

huh

thats a good point

[crisp nest]

they are near guaranteed to hit

if u arent moving

[keen kraken]

Wow! What a POS! I started my first raid. I was checking something in my inventory real quick before stepping out of the building I spawned in. I was alive about 6 seconds before this loser killed me by straffing in front of me in the doorway and killing me.

[vague coral]

full body peak bby

[keen kraken]

Do they do refunds?

[cosmic tinsel]

their accuracy increases the longer they're locked, and crouching and slow walking drops their aggro

[cosmic tinsel]

factory?

[cosmic tinsel]

no

[keen kraken]

Customs

[eternal narwhal]

things to avoid with scav ai: repeeking corners, only head peeking, running straight at them

[crisp nest]

customs spawns are fixed

[keen kraken]

Well I wasted my money then and I'll be sure to tell everybody to never play this game. Fing toxic garbage.

[crisp nest]

toxic bcuz u died

lmfao

[light cipher]

lmao

[eternal narwhal]

^

[cosmic tinsel]

there is definitely toxic garbage here

XD

you stood still at spawn, in a menu, and got punished for it

[eternal narwhal]

gotta take this game with a grain of salt man

[keen kraken]

Toxic because they killed me 6 seconds in on my spawn. There's no way it's anything else.

[crisp nest]

????

what

[cosmic tinsel]

you didnt learn the lesson to move?

[crisp nest]

its not cod u dont get spawncamped

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

and not stay in your inventory?

[eternal narwhal]

they play the game for way longer and know where potential spawns are.

[keen kraken]

I got punished for being alive 6 seconds? Why would other players be right next to my spawn anyway?

[eternal narwhal]

your raid time was definitely longer than 6 seconds, depending on the spawn closest time someone can be attacking you is about 30~ or so

[compact token]

[crisp nest]

they werent

[eternal narwhal]

on customs* at least

[crisp nest]

ur just exaggerating

if its not factory u cant die that fast

[keen kraken]

Then it took long for me to load in but I was not alive very long

[crisp nest]

unless u were a scav

[eternal narwhal]

life, this game is brutal. you will die a lot. you wont know where from, or will die from bs reasons

[crisp nest]

even in factory u cant die in 6 seconds

[eternal narwhal]

its part of tarkov

[keen kraken]

I was in for 38 seconds to be exact. Why would the spawns be that close?

[eternal narwhal]

thats actually not true, you can

[cosmic tinsel]

move away from your spawn, dont sit in the menus, and if you're taking one loss this hard, take a break and come back when you're emotionally prepared

[eternal narwhal]

^

[crisp nest]

even if u get grenaded u cant

[cosmic tinsel]

the spawns are that close in some maps

dont stay in your spawn

[crisp nest]

ehh maybe left of forklifts and back of forklifts spawns

[cosmic tinsel]

i never get spawnkilled

[eternal narwhal]

yeah

[crisp nest]

could meet eachother that fast

[cosmic tinsel]

i have 100s of raids this wipe

its completely avoidable with play

[eternal narwhal]

thats the spot im referring to

[keen kraken]

You guys think I'm mad about dying. I get that I'll die a lot. There's a differenve between dying a lot and dying in the spawn in 38 seconds

[crisp nest]

you cant get spawnkilled unless ur a scav

[eternal narwhal]

Thats true im agreeing with you

[compact token]

not really. It's going to take about 300ms for a raid to turn from great to over

[keen kraken]

I did scav maybe that's why. I didn't want to go pmc the first raid ever

[eternal narwhal]

oh

well then, i take everything back lol

[compact token]

Yeah scavs are disadvantaged by design

[eternal narwhal]

you definitely can get spawn killed as a scav

[compact token]

because the kit is free

[crisp nest]

as scav u can spawn anywhere

ive died as i loaded in before

[compact token]

you're more of an environmental hazard than a player in the raid

[crisp nest]

as the fade in happened

[keen kraken]

That sucks

[compact token]

I've only been playing for a week and I spawned on an armed grenade

[crisp nest]

ur a scav ur supposed to be heavily disadvantaged

[compact token]

scav runs are unfair

[eternal narwhal]

thats kinda crazy lol

[crisp nest]

on scav runs i just kill raiders

[eternal narwhal]

probably heard you spawn in and threw a nade at you

[crisp nest]

or check aesa spawns

[compact token]

that's my thought. Maybe a VOG

[light cipher]

man, can't wait to read what he posts when he's geared and get domed after taking 30 steps

[crisp nest]

that happened to me in labs

died 3x in a row off the spawn

one time

1st time it was level 70 ttv

[eternal narwhal]

ive only gone to labs about 3-4 times, too many cheaters and megachads

[crisp nest]

2nd time i got grenaded through a pillar and box under red room

3rd time i just got outplayed

[compact token]

can you do cliff descent with an armored rig on?

[crisp nest]

yes

[compact token]

nice

[crisp nest]

u have rr?

[eternal narwhal]

you need the red rebel ice pick and paracord to use cliff descent

[compact token]

I know

I'm working on it

all the barters are for rivals bands though

[crisp nest]

no

u do the jaeger barter

[compact token]

I know

[hearty mountain]

prapor just gave me some free stuff

[compact token]

But I don't want to wait until I get Jaeger 3

[hearty mountain]

🙂

[eternal narwhal]

your best bet is probably just going after Shturman or buying it outright then

[compact token]

I thought about shturman farming

might be a good excuse to learn woods

but isnt the drop chance stupidly low

[cosmic tinsel]

Yes

[eternal narwhal]

something like that yeah. but if not RR you can get his svd and his shturman key which can also spawn RR

[cosmic tinsel]

I killed him 30 times and 1 red rebel

[compact token]

here's me killing a geared PMC with a 9mm SMG I took off a scav

[cosmic tinsel]

And no RR in 15 shturman cases

[crisp nest]

reserve @compact token ?

[compact token]

that one's woods

[crisp nest]

wtf

[compact token]

doing the jaeger quest for unarmored kills

[crisp nest]

damn u lucky

pk06

[eternal narwhal]

i dont think so, no telephone poles on reserve at an angle like that

[compact token]

yeah I couldn't believe it

[crisp nest]

ive only seen pk06 on scav a few times

not that rare but id say keycard level rarity

[eternal narwhal]

they spawn on mp153 and kedr scavs a lot

[compact token]

more than a few ways on that run

my thorax was blacked for that fight

[crisp nest]

i had one on mp153 today

but ive only seen it on raider kedrs

[compact token]

Pretty sure it wasn't a raider

but I shot him in the head with the SKS from like 50m so frankly I have no idea

[lunar dune]

so like is 7.62x39 better than 366 tkm?

[crisp nest]

raiders arent on woods

[compact token]

well then

[crisp nest]

only guards and shturbro

[naive depot]

depends on the 7.62x39 ammo but generally yes

[silk minnow]

yes bp good

[grim spruce]

any labs coaches available?

[lunar dune]

so when i put 366 in my ak mag my gun doesn't shoot

why

[naive depot]

because you aren't using a .366 gun

[lunar dune]

ohhhhhh

[ivory ether]

im just gonna make a meta m4 for fun, might not use it in a while but yeah lol

[crisp nest]

u cant get jp gas block

i mean mk12 will do

[ivory ether]

hmmmmm

i buy for 100k

[naive depot]

🤔

[hearty mountain]

Im on woods at like a little town with a scav here and i need to know where im at can anyone help

im trying to go to jaeger camp

[compact token]

u have a compass?

[hearty mountain]

https://gyazo.com/c3d2088e81d5ffc95c598476b3cf0d60

no compass didnt even know that was a thing

[ivory ether]

village i think

top right of the map

[hearty mountain]

2 scavs here

[crisp nest]

thats village

[hearty mountain]

ok so top right?

[ivory ether]

ye

[crisp nest]

yes

[ionic fossil]

im a lvl 6 low on gear (might have to bring me a few things) low on roubles i need help (im only 13)

[crisp nest]

just scav

[ivory ether]

if u look at a map and go south west, you can find jaegers thing if u havent

[crisp nest]

if u dont have gear u scav

[ivory ether]

not totally sw

but like halfway

[compact token]

I feel like I could buy aquamaris and MREs for the rest of the wipe for less than the cost of upgrading the nutrition unit

[ivory ether]

interchange cache runs

i usually always do it as a scav

[compact token]

NVG PMC is also great for them

[hearty mountain]

ok im at the camp thingy is the note inside?

[compact token]

but not exactly an option if you're recovering from bankruptcy

[ivory ether]

yes at the bottom

base of the tower thing

[crisp nest]

thats not the point

[hearty mountain]

um

[crisp nest]

its to craft stew for the quest and to get btc

[hearty mountain]

it doesnt seem to be here?

[ivory ether]

are you a scav

[hearty mountain]

no

pmc

[crisp nest]

under his ladder

[ivory ether]

its a little white thing

[crisp nest]

yes under the ladder

[ivory ether]

yeah its sitting right against of the middle planks

[crisp nest]

go closer

[hearty mountain]

i know im a little slow but im not seeing it

[crisp nest]

[crisp nest]

yes

[arctic hatch]

[compact token]

thats just a high zoom scope into a flashlight beam, right?

[arctic hatch]

[hearty mountain]

fuck jeager im not getting his ass

[crisp nest]

idk then

[supple kernel]

\

[wind birch]

Is there a riser you can use with the Pk-06

[hearty mountain]

ive been trying to get this fucker for like 3 hours and i just seem to everything wrong

[crisp nest]

whats a riser?

[wind birch]

Like moves my sight height up

[crisp nest]

ah

[compact token]

wouldn't that just make muzzle clearance even worse?

[crisp nest]

you could get a mount

thats high

[compact token]

try taking the front sight off your gun if its in the way

[crisp nest]

nvm pk06 just goes on rails

[compact token]

I just spawned as a scav with a scope, silenced ak

right next to the departing train

and I just left

[fair estuary]

should i keep this or sell it in the flea

[fair estuary]

fast

[compact token]

you need it for collector

[fair estuary]

nice

[hearty mountain]

ok i accepted introduction now

[fair estuary]

found in raid or normal

[compact token]

FIR

[fair estuary]

oh ill keep then thanks

[compact token]

yeah I sold mine because I know I have no chance at kappa this wipe

[fair estuary]

F

why

[compact token]

I'm not good enough to get all the kills you need for every quest anytime soon

[fair estuary]

im bad too

😎

[compact token]

😎

[keen kraken]

Yep. This game was a waste of money.

[fair estuary]

nah its fun

[hearty mountain]

the only reason im still playing is that i paid for it

like thats it

[compact token]

did you impulse buy EOD

[keen kraken]

Nothing better than spawn and extract camping. Totally fun.

[crisp nest]

theres nothing called spawn camping lmao

[compact token]

don't run to extracts. same thing happened to all of us at least once

[keen kraken]

Yeah I wanted to buy it for years and it was on sale

[compact token]

push through this phase

[hearty mountain]

im hoping once i get past these quests the game gets more fun

[compact token]

come back tomorrow

[keen kraken]

Then how do you leave? Lol

[compact token]

walk the last ~40m and learn some common camp spots

keep to cover as much as you can

[crisp nest]

actual truth is: no one camps most extracts

[compact token]

extracting is supposed to be dangerous & part of the challenge

[crisp nest]

but most can be cleared

except d2 rat spots

[fair estuary]

just nade the exfil

its pretty funny when someone is camping it and u nade it

ngl

then yes

[pure mist]

this late in wipe?

[fair estuary]

i started playing 3 weeks ago

what do you spect g

we are on begginners assistance

[pure mist]

i mean this late in wipe it's not that worth it to buy lucky scav junk box

[fair estuary]

why

[pure mist]

most people store quest items in there and other junks you usually would just sell it

no reason to hold on to junk you don't need

[fair estuary]

hey lunar

what about hideout items

[strong barn]

I use em to hold all the barter items I buy en masse for armor barters or guns
example: GP coins for 5-7's or Chainlet and vases for tactec barter

but who knows when wipe is. Ig your not rolling in 10m or more idk if what I do is relevant for you

[pure mist]

i ain't bother wasting time talking to you two

[fair estuary]

💀

[strong barn]

doing good since we last played tho cruzzo sounds lit

[strong barn]

k bye lol

[fair estuary]

fat stacks being made

[strong barn]

Immersive game is immersive

[fair estuary]

[strong barn]

yaep
its all part of the journey

[fair estuary]

well most aka mecanic

this hoe needs lvl 20

tf

and also

how tf do i spend 800k in skier

[strong barn]

Ye he got them good parts tho

[fair estuary]

this mf only sells shit

[strong barn]

uhm

buy and sell something back to him

it counts twice

for the buy from.him, nd the sell to him

finding something relatively cheap he will buy back from you that you can get from.him

[cosmic tinsel]

sell yer guns to him

that you find in raid

[strong barn]

itll throw away a bit of roubles but wtfc, its not hard to make money lol

[fair estuary]

he doesnt buy his own items

[strong barn]

bruhthingshavechanged.jpg

[fair estuary]

well may just sell to mechanic

[strong barn]

Since I had to do that..not sure what to suggest

[fair estuary]

it sells for the half tho big oof

[strong barn]

listen to this mentlegen

[fair estuary]

me hav no guns

[cosmic tinsel]

ammo if he has it

[strong barn]

^ hes not normally wrong @fair estuary

hes a gammmeerrr

[cosmic tinsel]

walked outta the womb with an NES controller in hand

[fair estuary]

ooooo i know how to lvl up skier

[cosmic tinsel]

fully formed

[strong barn]

imma go cause meevo knows the way

[fair estuary]

is there any way to convert dollars into roubles tho

[cosmic tinsel]

no lol

yes but no

[fair estuary]

big L

:v

the way is confusing

[crisp nest]

yes

[cosmic tinsel]

so for peacekeeper, buy SSDs on flea and sell to PK

its better dollar/rub than just buyin dollars

[crisp nest]

if the dollars are FIR yes

[cosmic tinsel]

for jaeger, buy antique hatchets on flea and sell to jaeger

should cost you almost nothing

prapor/skiier/mechanic you can level up with insurance

repairs*

[fair estuary]

ok i found the way for skier

thanks

[cosmic tinsel]

therapist you should get naturally with healing unless you're one of those grizzly in stash weirdos

(which i love equally)

[fair estuary]

amazing

[grim spruce]

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

fantatsic

what'd those cost on flea

[fair estuary]

28k

well got some for 31k

lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont find unaware morons i am the unaware moron

[unreal horizon]

lol whatever go in and die again

[hearty mountain]

i will

[compact token]

unless you have some keys and a plan to get a gun quickly

[hearty mountain]

i bring in a gun and die again either way

[compact token]

sometimes I take no gun into reserve because I know I'm going to hit a locked armory and am nearly guaranteed an AK

[unreal horizon]

just bring a gun, trust me when I say this

1 bullet is all it takes to change your raid

[hearty mountain]

aight im bringing in my last kit

[strong barn]

did you at least begin insuring your gear after the first minefield?
like--no one gunna get your gear if you run into another one so 🤷

[hearty mountain]

does anyone sell fmj bullets

[compact token]

vendors show in flea

[unreal horizon]

of which caliber?

[hearty mountain]

ak?

.366 tkm fmj

[unreal horizon]

oh

jaeger does

[hearty mountain]

of course

why wouldnt he

[compact token]

the intro quest is miserable the first time

go to the bridge

[hearty mountain]

not again

never again

[compact token]

run straight out from the bridge into the forest

[unreal horizon]

yeah bringing 3000 roubles can save you

[compact token]

come back and pay the driver

[hearty mountain]

does anyone sell 7.62x39 mm ps ammo

[unreal horizon]

[supple hazel]

[compact token]

Should I start using a smoke nade to cover me for sewer manhole

[supple hazel]

like save?

[hearty mountain]

i got 500k in the same stack and i split it up to put it in my ass

[compact token]

hold ctrl and move to another slot

[unreal horizon]

drag it with ctrl

[supple hazel]

you know about the under the truck strat

[hearty mountain]

https://gyazo.com/5ff4a86a638657d122ceeb821913c6e5

[supple hazel]

buying smokes for it isnt worth it, but this is coming from someone who literally never uses the extract

[hearty mountain]

does anyone sell these mags

[supple hazel]

lemme see

[hearty mountain]

nvm the fucking ammo i bought isnt compatible

[supple hazel]

skier should

[hearty mountain]

nothing i do in this game can please them

[supple hazel]

Welcome to tarkov

[compact token]

is there more to it than being under the truck

[supple hazel]

hold W after proneing into the bottom of the truck

[hearty mountain]

like every once in a fucking blue moon i make out like a bandit then some bullshit happens to me

[supple hazel]

only your legs are exposed

[supple hazel]

This is the Tarkov experience, friend

[magic umbra]

[Level 12]
Anyone know of good maps for money-making? Been grinding quests on Customs and Woods (and a bit of Factory) but would like to try another map

[supple hazel]

Get used to death

[supple hazel]

Reserve is a prime money maker

[hearty mountain]

i died to thirst yesterday bc my chest was blacked, died to a landmine when i loaded, died to fucking RASALHA GOONS

[magic umbra]

Word, thank ye

[supple hazel]

Get some keys for reserve

[hearty mountain]

me and death are just best friends at this point

[supple hazel]

the marked ones

[magic umbra]

I have some decent reserve keys already I believe

One called RB-VO(?)

[supple hazel]

you either get a spawn near the hermetic one or the glukhar spawn one

think so yeah

[frosty compass]

dude just stop shitposting and look up a guide, or ask meaningful questions and try to actually learn

[keen kraken]

Is there a way to se the directions? N, S, E, and W?

[compact token]

I think a smoke nade might just draw more attention

but would cover me against snipers

[supple hazel]

true

[supple hazel]

compass

[compact token]

yeah, you can get a compass at lvl5

[frosty compass]

yes but it's not useful

[compact token]

it barely works

[keen kraken]

Dam

[supple hazel]

given that most maps are upside down or something on things like map genie

you start to learn what landmarks are what direction

[frosty compass]

you just need to memorise the maps tbh, compass is useless

[violet sparrow]

tbh if idk where i am, i look at a map online and orient myself in what direction i gotta go with the compass

[supple hazel]

learning the maps is integral to a new player

[violet sparrow]

so it's not entirely useless

but it definitely is better just to memorize the maps

[frosty compass]

tbh looking around at landmarks is easier and better than using the compass imo

[supple hazel]

^

you get used to the maps and you start to use the compass less and less

ive almost completely stopped unless im deep in the woods on shoreline

[frosty compass]

you'll be able to memorise every loot spawn eventually if you use mapgenie a lot

at the very least stashes

[violet sparrow]

yeah but in woods when you barely know the map and dont know where you are, the compass can be nice lol

im like oh look a rock, that doesnt help

[frosty compass]

woods used to be confusing but i think it's not so bad now

[supple hazel]

you gotta learn each and every rock on that map

[violet sparrow]

youve probably played it a lot more than i have then lol

[supple hazel]

and not to peek shturman under 200 meters unless its close range with a full auto weapon

[violet sparrow]

true true

[magic umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/its-not-just-a-boulder-its-a-rock-spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-hug-gif-17867157

[frosty compass]

you can literally walk along the lake shore tbh

[violet sparrow]

that's what i do to find extracts

even tho sometimes there's an easier way to get to extract

[frosty compass]

mapgenie is your lord and saviour

[supple hazel]

hold on

[dire stirrup]

agreed

[supple hazel]

im gonna find an image

[violet sparrow]

except on reserve, where i have to go somewhere else cuz i dont have money to pay for it

[crisp nest]

what ghost skin is that

[dire stirrup]

the sherpa discord is also a very good place to start if you are new

[frosty compass]

reserve is difficult yeah cause no mapgenie

[supple hazel]

yeah

but ive just memorized every single extract and every single rat spot on that map

[rough scarab]

bro my game bugged

I cant loot or change guns

[supple hazel]

rip

its either close and re open the game

or die

or try to bolt to extract

[rough scarab]

it came back

wtf

[crisp nest]

@supple hazel what ghost skin is ur pfp lol

[supple hazel]

Rimed

from BL preorder

[crisp nest]

rip i quit b4 BL release

[supple hazel]

lmao

[crisp nest]

then tried to play pvp and quit again because stasis

[supple hazel]

yeah

understandable

this new season is gonna be good

but i digress

back on topic

[upper trench]

I wouldn’t even worry about new season y’all still got like 2 months lol

[compact token]

oh shit I got therapist 2 and didn't even notice

time to get a keytool

[hearty mountain]

i loaded in with a gun and got next to the road and my game stuttered and insta headshit

[compact token]

that sounds... unpleasant

[hearty mountain]

https://gyazo.com/1539717f801b586553d393d2bba28703

[supple hazel]

it comes out in like 2 days lmao

[compact token]

you got a source for that

[supple hazel]

gimmie a sec

[upper trench]

Not tarkov wipe y’all still have like 2 months

[hearty mountain]

what can i do

[unreal horizon]

play with a purpose

[hearty mountain]

i have one

prapor is getting my shit atleast

• try nighttime
• stay away from marked paths

[supple hazel]

long link

[compact token]

oh lol I was in raid while you were talking about destiny

didn't notice the tangent

yes splicer looks lit

[supple hazel]

yea

[upper trench]

Head tarkov wipes in 2 months

[hearty mountain]

i spawn at like the lakes every single time and i have to cross the same road and some random dudes are always on it

[compact token]

if you aren't planning to contest a loot area like a marked room it's honestly not a terrible idea to chill in a bush for 5-10min at the start of the raid on crowded maps like customs

let everyone spread out

[magic umbra]

Good advice... but dorms never seems to calm down long enough for me to grab the gilded zibbo :/

[compact token]

yeah dorms is nuts

[magic umbra]

I’ve lost like 3 loadouts trying to get in there today so I may go try a different map for a bit lolz

[supple hazel]

yeah i still have a few tasks at dorms as well

just dont wanna go there for obvious reasons

but every time i go customs on a scav dorms is untouched 30 minutes into the raid

[hearty mountain]

im on a night run but i dont got a flashlight and i cant see much

next to a house with a white fence

[supple hazel]

dont go on night runs of normal maps without nvgs

factory sure

but the rest i wouldnt

[compact token]

player scav just hit me with a stupidly perfect nade

[hearty mountain]

im just running down this road and hoping im going the right direction

[compact token]

right behind me so when I heard it and turned to run I was dead center in the blast

[compact token]

yeah flashlights are a great way to announce your position

[hearty mountain]

i got a spark plug but this where im at

[unreal horizon]

north of scav house, up the road

[supple hazel]

ohh you're on woods

what are you trying to find?

[hearty mountain]

im dead

but im trying to get jaeger note

been trying for like 5 hours now

[supple hazel]

oh that

go daytime with a cheap kit

[hearty mountain]

i used all of them

and died

but prapor is gonna recover sometime

[supple hazel]

in like a day or two

and thats if the gear wasnt taken

[unreal horizon]

maybe get a sherpa, if you've been struggling that long you're probably missing a key part of the game

[hearty mountain]

atleast ill ge tthem back

yea... i was in sherpa when i first joined and was told to bring everything i could into my first raid and uh lost almost everything so havent been back since

[supple hazel]

that sherpa likely wasnt a sherpa then

no sherpa would tell you to bring expensive imo

[unreal horizon]

yeah that was a shitty sherpa

[hearty mountain]

im still recovering from it

i just got my generator tho 😄

making salewa kits for my therapist atleast now\

[vague token]

Is there a certain map or area to find salewas for therapist on?

[hearty mountain]

im just crafting em

[compact token]

lost it to a raider onetap again

[vague token]

oh ok hmm, if you are in a scav group will yo uhave the same exfil points automatically?

[hearty mountain]

holy shit

[naive depot]

as long as a floppy drive gamer in your lobby doesn't load in late

[vague token]

I'll probably be asking a lot of questions randomly, just got the game today and welllll (I'm probably the 4.25' gamer in question lmao)

didn't have room on the SSD 😢

[naive depot]

make room

you're going to regret having this game on your hard drive

[vague token]

what's the max install atm?

[naive depot]

20 gigs i think

[vague token]

It's a tiny ass SSD

[naive depot]

i remember paying 300 for a 64 gig ssd in 2010 😭

[vague token]

yeah ssd loads are crazy good

I remember the first time I booted up my the OS when I upgraded to new pc with an SSD, think I had tears

[strong barn]

bruh I remember having 4 floppy drives for a windows image as backup

mid reimaging of my drive I have to swap floppys 3 times in the correct order to load the OS or it all pooped and had to be redone; these bitches took like 30 hrs to do the full imaging of the drive

SSD's are godtier wins

[vague token]

lmao that's awhile ago

[strong barn]

like 1998 - 2005

lmao

[vague token]

first pc was a 386sx with 2mb ram in like.. 91-92? sometime in end of highschool

[strong barn]

i remember upgrading to dual core processors being like
big wowz

[vague token]

yeah for sure

geez and now I'm trying to run stuff like tarkov on a skint 8gb system ram jobbie lol this poor pc

[crisp nest]

stop running marked as ur money source

[supple hazel]

^

running markeds for money is a bad choice

only just get you into more and more engagements

which lead to more and more deaths

[compact token]

Why? Nothing about marked caused my death

I was moving to hermetic and got tapped by some garage raiders

[crisp nest]

the guns

are from marked

[compact token]

yes

[crisp nest]

marked is not a good money source

[compact token]

I hit marked

and then I went to leave

and I was killed

I'm not seeing how this is a flaw in marked

[crisp nest]

risky

go d2 then

[compact token]

No matter what I hit I had to get out

and D-2 has raiders too

and campers

[crisp nest]

d2 raiders are nice loot

a bit dark though

[supple hazel]

Cliff descent

is joke

[crisp nest]

cliff descent makes reserve easy

[compact token]

No one will let me buy a red rebel

unless I want to pay 6m

[supple hazel]

its 5.5m rn

[crisp nest]

go get someone to barter it

[supple hazel]

get one if 6m is somehow your price limit

[compact token]

yeah the end route becomes KPRL > exfil

[compact token]

how much would I have to pay

[rough scarab]

Anyone know where the camp spot is on factory by the extract

[vivid ember]

how to organize stash when lvl 5

[rough scarab]

I always get shot from somewhere but can’t figure out where

[supple hazel]

"by the extract" is very vague

which extract

[unreal horizon]

there aren't any gate 3 camping spots. You can get up on the dumpster with a boost but that's pointless

[cosmic tinsel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6iw9qcI0vo

its annoyin but ppl do camp it

[unreal horizon]

📈

[cosmic tinsel]

and its basically anywhere inside of the doors

to mikes point its not one spot

but it could be anywhere

throw nades, jigglepeek corners

sprint across sight lines

or buy a factory key

[unreal horizon]

I wouldn't call it camping, you just sorta have a fight

[vivid ember]

why cant ragman buy this

[cosmic tinsel]

probs beat to shit

or maybe its bc the visor beat to shit

[vivid ember]

i can sell the visor not the helm

nvm its just beat to shit

[charred stirrup]

Fence might take it

[vivid ember]

alr ty

[cosmic tinsel]

fence should

[vivid ember]

if i snag prapors pocket watch, put it in my secure container, and die, does it still count for the quest?

[unreal horizon]

it's not a physical item

its in your quest inventory

[vivid ember]

oh alr, so it does?

[unreal horizon]

if you die it is lost

[vivid ember]

well that'll be a problem

[lapis pewter]

do you ahve the key already?

[vivid ember]

yes, i have the key. not the watch

[lapis pewter]

nice, i had to do it in one run

[vivid ember]

would waiting untill the round is nearly over, snagging it, and booking to extraction good? would it lower my chances of running into scavs/pmcs or nah

[lapis pewter]

yeah i think so, i usually dont move around much until 30 minutes, but tahts just me

if you spawn close, you might beable to snag it and leave

[vivid ember]

sounds good, wml

[lapis pewter]

if your na ill go with you

if you want

[vivid ember]

its alr

[lapis pewter]

having great success hitting the parking garage in IC with just a pistol. so much safer than upstairs

[unreal horizon]

but what's down there?

[lapis pewter]

garbage, like me

too poor to afford the gear id need to thrive above, so i just loot whats down there and leave with full bags

[bold kernel]

What is a good area to hit one first starting out

[compact token]

If you want safe loot, interchange outskirts caches. If you want pvp, customs or factory maybe? You're likely to get pulverized anywhere you go at first

[bold kernel]

Damn thats rough

[barren trellis]

why can mp7 ammo not be crafted in hide out?

[hearty mountain]

im trying to get this note and theres a dude infront of me boutta grab it

can multiple people get the mote

[carmine river]

So I got into Tarkov a few days ago, never played a game like this before, how do I get started? I'm level 8 already but I have no idea how to earn money and what guns are good. I'm really just stuck with Scav weapons at the moment

[hearty mountain]

UH I ALT TABD ON ACCIDENT AND I CANT MOVE HOW CAN I FIX THIS

shit sorry for caps

[vivid ember]

uh usually if you click on a tabbed out game it tabs in

[hearty mountain]

i fixed idk how

i just started clicking random stuff and it worked

[vivid ember]

yeah

[hearty mountain]

how do i hand over jaegers note to mechanic

[vivid ember]

you dont its automatic

did you extract?

[hearty mountain]

https://gyazo.com/68bf792008e52d331b0d722c99b49cbb

[vivid ember]

uh

for me i just extracted with it and it was automatic?

[compact token]

you can't turn in quests from the char task screen

[hearty mountain]

where do i turn it in

[compact token]

go to mechanic's inventory

[hearty mountain]

ty

i did it and jaeger still locked

[compact token]

turn in and complete?

[hearty mountain]

eya

[compact token]

relaunch?

[hearty mountain]

ight

[compact token]

hit complete at the top of the quest if you haven't

[hearty mountain]

ah

how do i modify the mp133 shotgun for mechanic

[compact token]

jaeger has a barter for a tactical mp-133 that has most of the mods you need

take a scav shotgun's mount and FL

[barren trellis]

why can you not craft mp7 ammo in hide out?

[compact token]

and buy the pistol grip from jaeger

[undone reef]

can anyone accompany me on woods

i need to kill scavs and i wanna kill the scav boss too

[hearty mountain]

how do i get the mp133 plastic forestock

[crisp nest]

yes

[hearty mountain]

i got it finally

only took me like 6 and a half hours

[crisp nest]

there was another 6 dead guys lmao

i was afk and i heard an mp7 going brrrr

[hearty mountain]

where do i get the mp133 plastic forestock

[crisp nest]

wiki

[vague token]

Yay I finally survived a scav run, and noowww my stash is almost 100% after 1 run lol

I might have to wait for a 40-50% EFT sale to upgrade >.>

[fading violet]

you can fill rigs up with items and stack backpacks to save space

[crisp nest]

there arent 40% sales

[vague token]

damn! lol

[crisp nest]

its always 20%

and 25% for eod

from what ive heard

[vague token]

ohhh ok, I wasn't sure if it ever changed

[bold kernel]

What's better this or

[vague token]

oh right stacking gear good idea, and folding a couple stocks maybe

[bold kernel]

this

[crisp nest]

if you are upgrading edition is alwaays 25% off

[fading violet]

you are going to be blind when you go in a bright spot or when someone shine you with a flashlight if you have brightness at 100

[bold kernel]

So the 2nd one?

[hearty mountain]

i need a hdd ;l i had one eariler then i died

[bold kernel]

I'm liking that one better

Alright thanks
