First you have to overcome the fear of losing stuff
and run scavs as much as you can
i kinda have
Depends on what you mean, I cleared most of the game solo, cuz friends were too slow
Most of it comes down to confidence in yourself
I mean it does feel nice to have a mate to pick up your stuff after u die and etc, but u wont be a good team mate, if you aren't confident enough to do your own thint instead of relying on teammate
Sometimes u need to peek/flank on your own
you right
I just used sks for first 40 lvls that way
ty
what is the exact spot in Woods for the scav bridge extract
we both had 600k worth of loot and died to the sniper on the extract
we went there and looked thru the spots, we checked right and then left and got shot by the NPC
gonna go hunt Shturman in offline mode
Do it and dont be afraid of dying in a fight
ye he died
and i got all his guards with one mag with Hunter
he didnt even see me
i was laying down in rockhead
Anybody want help on woods im going scav hunting
as scav or pmc
led slug or buckshot?
and is having a bunch of the rigs in your inv a good idea?
cause it saves space?
Yes and buck for close maps if it is 7 or 8.5. Slugs can reach a bit further but you mostly need headshots unless it is AP20
also should I wait till flea market to sell my graphics card?
yes
Then yeah, might aswell wait for Flea
what if there is no checkmark?
Then you cant sell it on flea
ohs oki
I'm 34 task off Kappa and its my first wipe do yall still think I still have enough time to get Kappa
Idc if I only have it for a little bit I just want the accomplishment of getting it on my first wipe
what kind of suppressor does VPO-215 use
dont give hate for using that, i actually like it
cant find any from fleamarket nor from internet
it uses .366
oh the suppressor appeared in flea nvm
really tempting to sell all my stuff
Stop throwing out bs, even If its a joke
its a joke in poor taste since new players literaly dont get the joke
Not planned, so most likely at least a few weeks or months
Thats exactly my point, No need to be an ass to new players
Even that can be misleading; I just say that BSG has stopped announcing wipes.
whenever that question is asked
especially after we got trolled; a week before xmas "NO WIPE THIS PATCH"
xmas eve "wipe tomorrow"
its not on their scedule so wipe is probably going to be after summer
aka when streets come out
and technicly it wasent xmas eve in russia
nikita was chilling
Im quoting from the podcast
ah
That once again implies nikita saying its not planned is really the case. we dont know for sure especialy since he was pressured into the question
its easier to just say it isnt announced, dont even say it could be a long time or a short time
cause we really have 0 idea
i mean its def before next new year
since in the past we were told no wipe, then wipe. we've also been told wipe, then a 3 week long pre-wipe event
so who really knows
Most likely yes. Streets will probably come with a wipe
If someone asks just do ??wipe
Gives them an answer and gives them how to get it again in the future
feelsbad that i got everything back from insurance from the time that my internet crahsed yesterday, besides my guns
and my grid is 26 hp

damn quick on the draw there
Look up woods tarkov map, save, circle
yeah I was too but you beat me
ez
lf new players
can you make the MP5-N suppressed
yes
not sure if it was MP5-N but the small version
what do i need for it
cant find any 9x19 suppressors that are attachable
Linked search
gonna go hunt Shturman with VPO real quick hold on
jesus christ
i usually if i see some players far away i let them be because im not a twat, if they get close then i take the shot
cause I got fucking destroyed by two sniperse just now
counter sniping is fun
Imagine not actively shooting targets 600 metres away 😎
Doesn't mater how far someone is to you, if you see them and have a shot take it
ye i know that much but id rather not be a twat
and if i do so i aint camping any extractions like some people do
any new players need help
I mean you don't have too extract camp and I don't see how it would make you a twat to kill someone further away
I can't see the logic there
tf
is there a way to add more offers than 3
Increase your flea market rep
The more you use it the more items you can list and the less the fee costs
where can i see my current rep
?
Looks about right
The icon for it, and not sure exactly what rep you need to be able to sell more
how come when you repair a face shield it never fixes the bullet hole
any new players need help
Batters
And you need 5 of each (excluding apollo cigarettes) found in raid for a task
im tryna sell Luger CCI bullets which i grabbed from my friend`s body
if it doesnt have check mark at bottom right its not found in raid
^
but i got them from a raid
found in raid means it was spawned in the exact raid
To be found in raid an item must have spawned in that raid, pmc gear is not so it's not fir
so the loot i get from dead PMC that theyve bought cant be sold?
Yup
dum
to trader it can
is there a way to click on an item which moves it to the sell area instead of dragging it
Ctrl or shift click
ok thx
Np
If you are moving stuff in your stash and are trying to move stuff that's in a rig or backpack it will automatically try to move it to your pmc instead of stash
Good but cheap grip for recoil
ah
Rk-0 or rk-4 from skier
Should be level 2 and 3
Alright thank you
Np
i just sold RK-4 Zenit in flea
was you?
sold it for 12000 so its first on the list
how does bitcoin farm work
does it give me ruples or?
You put gpus in the farm to produce bitcoins
More gpus means more bitcoins
Bitcoins you sell to therapist for about 200-300k
so is one bitcoin worth that much?
Yes
damn
1 is 200-300k
i got like 750k atm im gonna build that
I have 25 gpus and o make one Bitcoin every 14 hours
I like the farm cause it’s like a steady income
damn
For gpus just go run interchange with some dogshit gun and grab gpus
where do you get these
ye
@celest sage
cant see any suppressors
and you cant mount one
do i need to buy some kind of barrel?
dont think you can suppress the kurz
seems like you cant
dam
which is the best low cost 9x19 submachine gun i can buy
with attachable suppressor
Probably pp19
pp19/mp5 i think
pp19 low rpm not good for pvp
true
mp5 is like 20k or something, good price
or 30k something around that
23k currently
ye
MP5 the burst one?
thats the one
which sniper and bullet has the lowest bullet drop
probably 993
for a cheap sniper i defienetely prefer the VPO-215 with TKM FMJ .366
gun isnt super relevant, ii use a dvl because its the most quiet
slap in a 15-25k 1-6x scope and you got a good gun
if you can hit under the helmet that is
i like using sv98 or mosin for bolt actions
VPO sight on it and you got yourself a semi automatic powerful killing machine
PSO*
some people dont know this, you can actually fit a red dot under the PSO
what is that view
its super convenient
that stock looks clean af
or that modding area thing
def usable, I love it
navy burst is full auto too
btw I never advise wearing glasses, they reflect at medium/long range and make it easy to see you
i dont have that
modding lets you swap items in your inventory, presets lets you use all items you've inspected
oh you need to build workbench then
ah
prioritize getting that set up its really important
half of the weapons are pretty bad without mods
Do you think this is a decent budget ak ?
i got put on interchange as scav 1 minute into the raid, what does that mean?
Good enough for what it is, however when you lose it, I'd switch to the 7.62 AK
There was still a PMC in raid
Well this one is cheaper and easier to mod I think, How much would an avarage mod for the 7.662 cost ?
Shouldn't be much different.
mostly
Ya
evanqg1: im in beginners assistance vc
two of us joined; you started your stream; it didnt work and you proceeded to not say anything and leave
bruh dont do us like that :( @velvet lion
My pc crashed
If you already have it built, use it. I wouldn't use anything less than BT though. My reason for recommending 7.62 AK is that 7.62 PS is roughly equal to 5.45 BT, but costs 1/3rd of the price.
And it's not a tracer.
What 7.62 would you get ?
bp
i usually use 103
103 or AKM are the main options
you going to mod it anyway
103 is a bit better but if its priced way higher its not worth the stats
scav run
stock m1a with a sight?
Scav raids lol
yea lol
thats just not enough money to work witht
Wtf
im ingame rn
maybe some servers but not all
tbh people have been having connection issues like for the last week
They're resetting the servers for the wipe Sunday
soon™️
should I upgrade my stash to lvl 2 or just buy another Icase, what do u guys think
I heard Wipe is Friday
Impossible, Friday is not a Thursday
Actually I think it's Saturday
Give streeeeeets
Imagine the sniping LOS's we'll get
Also, camping the labs door
Thanks for the swipe nerd
get ready for 20 frames on streets lmao
19 more than I need
streets.ppt
Assuming I already get more than 20 FPS
Street of crash here i come
Bold of you to assume
does ammo and shit get used when im in offline mode?
No
No
thanks
damn im an idiot
was doing the kill 3 scavs quest without meds
then i fell and broke my leg
😂
i did that killing shturman and his guard
😂

i checked if he spawned but he wasnt there
then I spent like 5 rounds trying to kill a scav
shturman is so easy to kill
I was on the hill near lumber and dropped down like an idiot
i would just med and loot and extract do that quest another raid
nice sugar
yep
u gonna use it to craft moonshine?
2 more levels
for wut?
its wiping this weekend?
lmao
??wipe
The last wipe occurred on Dec 24, 2020. The date of the next wipe is unknown.
^ that
ahhh okay
thanks
Please guys I really wanna play factory is there any fix for 90% packet loss issue ?
It happens only on factory
im really unfamiliar with these loss issues
changing server might help, reinstalling game might help
but short of those you may need to reach out to BSG support
if its 1 map every time maybe verify files?
^
It happens only for me and my brother plays on the same internet
that seems like more of a game error than an internet error
so i think internet is just fine
yeah a bunch of people have complained about packet loss in the past 3-4 days
we just haven't heard any workarounds, to my knowledge
When i bought the game it was perfect for the first 2 days
have you tried the basic stuff?
Then one day the time for factory stopped at 15 28
thats always how it is
factory times are static
Mine was not
thats fucked then
not joking im serious
have you tried the basic stuff?
def verify files
yeah
yes
have you reached out to bsg
so youve verified and reinstalled?
verified game files, integrity check
and all kinds of internet fixes
not reinstalled
im gonna try that now
hope it works
i had a 3 player squad just camp freezer
i hit every exfil
heard em doin bait shots
finally went and got myself killed on em. pretty lame
im too lazy to search the basement and sewer but i havent heard any buttons either
whatever ig I loot
this is eerie
i hate this, when you play labs just accept you'll die and go have fun with your gear
no one has fun when people are just crabbing
agreed
Meevo how do I get over my fear of this fucking box
it gets me literally every time
worth a shot right
you run towards it mike whilst prenading
literally every thic case on the flea has sold other than mine 😢
feelsbad
now theres 4 thats are lower than mine lol
fragmented
so shoot it
100%
chart on wiki
it's 30 now i think
oooh, i was wondering why tetriz is shit now and green battery is good
all is clear now
I noticed 700k tetris and 800k bitcoin so i bought a bunch of tetris's
literally that day it got nerfed
like hours later
wait so
if you level it up does it take longer for bitcoins to produce or is this the level up construction time
thats just time to build the module
ok
only difference is the max amount of cards, and with more cards the production time goes down
EU relatively new have some decent stuff looking for some chill guy that wont be mad if im bad lol (dm me)
do you need a key for all of the Intelligence Folder spawns in reserve
who?
asked in general if i need a key
the desk in the room by where you turn on D2 power has one, doesn't it
a lot of them dont need 1
lots of the keys are cheap enough that finding one pays off a few keys, so it's just a dice roll thing
there are 2-3 desk spawns in d-2, 2 in the little building by dome, 1 in dome, helicopter, just to name a few
there are way more
damn I just got a dead factory raid
this here D2?
no, under dome
d2 is the underground shit
oh i see
that's hermetic or PSP bunkers depending on who you ask
d-2 is under the helicopter
got it
Can someone help me get a found in raid gas analzer
filing cabinets have them
cabinets/back mall/pumping station
Does the map you are playing on matter?
does "Tagged and Cursed" have a distance limit
no
thanks
all loot things have the same loot table no matter what map
Who wanna help me out and grind to level 10 w me tonight around 6:30 pst
would be easier to say in how many hours because time zone and people like me not knowing psts and such
and i unfortunately cant help
presumably yes, its not mapwide, but its... big
if you're not familiar with a time zone you prob cant connect anyway bc ping
Yeah it used to be in every map pretty sure which was dumb
how can you level sniper skill
reload a mosin
does the tiny mosin count
That doesn’t really work anymore
Shoot scavs in their legs and stuff so you can farm xp
Just use a sniper for a while
i think farming shturman is the best way to make money also level up sniper skill
false to either of your statement lol
I mean I guess if you can kill shturman every raid it's profitable
one more thing about the intel
it's the hotspot of the map as well
easy to kill shturman not easy to loot him
does every spawn room need a different key or can you use the same one
keys are for doors
yes
i see
i guess i'm just lucky only been shot once looting him
and the best way to level up sniper skill is sit in a bush and reload mosin for 30 minutes
where can I get a labs keycard
do you know what are the keys for dome
scavs, scav bosses
i make quite profit killing him
about that why can you infinitely reload a mosin I lost like 52 ammo just cause I thought it never stopped
Ty
because when you reload mosin you lose the bullet in the chamber
that bullet is on the floor and you can pick it back up
fuck
same goes with SKS
fuck x2
SKS is classified as assault rifle so you can level up AR skill fast by reloading sks non stop
because they are not the same room
probably what spawns in the room
if a room has good spawns, the key is more valuable
what does this mean
what
Tis a great key
ik
It means that’s the key which the wiki page is about
lmao
i forgot u can't sell barter stuff
so i thought oh
i can barter for this med case
then sell it for Stonks
That map is outdated
i found the room
But it’s on the second floor
I got 3 intels on my first dome run ever
I saw it 3 times in my first 10
in that room
That is the most consistent Intel room for me
rb kprl is worth getting
By far
its 500k
i said it's worth getting, not that it's not 500k
Hm maybe spawn rates increased then, last time I got it was last wipe
one intel is 300k, by that logic it's kinda worth getting any intel key if you'll hit it enough to get one once
if the key is less or equal to 300k
If you want RS go down the hill to CP shack, you’ll find better stuff
Chances are if you check every reserve Intel spawn you will find at least 1
Intel runs are great once you have scav case
It’s way lower chance offline
No infinite
damn
i go there to kill people who wanted intel
Crack house is horrible for Intel in my experience
1/5 times usually
I’ve never found Intel there, just run reserve you get an Intel literally every raid
crack house has multiple spawns
in one location
I'm just running it and dying a lot as I'm trying to get better at solo PvP
i usually go there as duos and just kill everyone near crackhouse
solo is way harder
I'm trying to get better at PvP but I feel like I don't get to fight as much in duos
I reinstalled the game, gonna see if factory works for me now
why play factory lol
yeah
coz i just bought the game this week
Do you guys prefer high fov or low?
by high i mean 75
labssss
duo in labs
i use whatever the default is
its not as much of a reflex shooter so in destiny and those games ill run highest fov possible
does effective range determine bullet drop
no
what ammo the sight is zeroed to
and what range its zeroed to
and waht ammo you using
u dont
the game zeroes the sight for u
and the gun is zeroed for the default ammo speed
what would be the best bullet for .366 and 7.62x51
.366 ap and m993
ok
dont use m993
why?
m993 is useless unless you're sniping
3 scav protecting me
so sniping ammo
not great not terrible
yeah
but dont worry about the gun
they all shoot the same
worry about the bulllet
M61 is default round for M700 so the zeroing is perfect on it. Best bolty in the game
(SV-98 if you're on a budget)
@cosmic tinsel Found the fix thanks for help anyways
nice what was the fix, other people may need it
I just had to reinstall the game
now it works perfectly
i think it happened because i moved my game to ssd without re-downloading it
dvl supremacy
dvl>all bolty

just aim lower 
arent you the one pushin for the ak-101 tho 😉
hold under 🤢
zoom gaming
if i were to upgrade from standard edition, is left behind a good enough upgrade?
oh so I found the fix 😉
it really comes down to what you like
I agree
which scope can i place on a mosin?
any sniper scope
Any but you might need an adapter
pu 3.5 thingy
yeah
35k if you're like me and bought 20 filters cheap
Man i know nothing just tryna snipe some scavs
like 75k for a sniper + vudu and you're gaming
dvl comes with suppressed too
why do scav randomly spawn behind you sometimes
you can get cheaper scopes but I wont snipe without a vudu
or do they run all the way just to attack you from behind lol
i cant place Kochetov Mount on mosin
will invis scav sniper on customs shoot me if im a scav?
you can't go oob if that's what you mean
you will still get shot
thesres a body and i want to loot it
not worth
mosin sniper or carbine?
loot the two stashes nearby
it'll only work on sniper
bolt action
thats a "dead scav"/cache its always there
Theyre both bolt, you need the sniper
maybe you can loot it? it's probably dead for a reason...
...there is bolt action sniper mosin and bolt action infantry mosin
i'm p. sure that there are dead scavs in the invis sniper scav area
i wouldn't go for it
infantry has less options
is mosin expensive?
its sorta like a cache
depends on what you call expensive
pool's a bit different
sv-98 is better mosin
for starters?
?
sv-98 is better than a mosin in most ways, and is cheaper
just shoots slow af and reloads slow af
this is what i was trying to get at
just buy sv-98
no problem, i only shoot scav rn
like you could call toploading a positive ig
but mags are cheap it doesnt really matter, theyre also 1 slot
okay thanks
i hate myself for not checking surrounnding
Hello everyone
Never
Lol
I just started drinking whiskey I just got back from vacation today lol wanna play?
no
sell
0 point running that imo
Awesome just message me when it's over I'm down
m61 doesnt give a fuck anyway
only expensive helmet ill use is bastion/exfil
oh shit its a 130k helmet
might i ask why those two?
not tryin to debate it, jw what motivates you about em
bastion is c6
i suppose, caues bastion has that armored plate available
Ragman hates it, get free helmets every raid with this one simple trick
*gettting 2 shot by my m61 gang
getting one tapped by my 5-7 gang
slaap plate says no
my left clifck spam says yes
my class 8 hexgrid says no
allow me to introduce myself
**class 12
that is sub optimal
though if any bullet could do it, it would be 338 ap
lets say
cause i dont get it
i have a shotgun, and someone has C5 armor
can i spam his thorax to break his armor?
i know but im just trying to theorycraft how the fuck does pen work in this game
10 pen = c1
!wiki ballistics
20 = 2
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.
etc.
its very simple
best part is, i was reading that like twice and im too stupid to get it
well ok its incredibly complicated but the parts you need to know are simple
thats the only part i understand
if a bullet has 40 pen it will pen class 4, but it will take more than 1 shot to pen class 5/6
is it because the pen chance is higher with every consecutive bullet to the same armor part?
when you shoot an armor it will take dmg, when its damaged enough, bullets with less pen than required will pen it
like if you shoot a class 6 with PST gzh, eventually you'll get through because the armor is broken
in practice though, you want bullets that can pen class 4 right away
you can craft them if u waant
Oh where?
which you should be rushing anyway with bitcoin
to reach pk3
I see
but pk4 needs skier
6 quests on woods and i cant understand that map for shit 
its a big rock with a bunch of towns in a circle around it, and a lumber mill to the south
most areas are pretty distinct
customs
Well
just go wherever you need to for quests
I know customs pretty well
interchange is simple and has good money, customs is 43958345 quests early on, i dont know other maps 
I just don't know the southeast corner very well
you'll probably go shoreline next for mechanic
Mechanic is my favorite trader so far
Since he buys most of the stuff i scavenge :)
Just found a graphics card, why isn't it found in raid?
yeah 
if you put it in your secure container and then you die, it loses FiR status
Then it will not be
damn
Yea I learn't the hard way
id say, dont chase gpus
not worth it cause in the meantime, fuel tanks are uncontested
same for water filters
and they can make you good money too
I mostly agree with that
oli is great for money and no one hits it, but if you get a good spawn you should rush a tech store
but if youre not first to a tech store (and you play on a server with low matching time), the only thing left to loot will be caps and USB-A plugs
people are so blinded with gpus theyll ignore everything else
to be fair its not valueble
me and my 4 fuel tanks on the edge of the map 🐀
I dont see much point in looting little stuff for another 100k or whatever
400K*
usb a and caps are not 400k 🙂
Techno techlight rasmussen and ultra medical is the most contested pvp area on the map which is why u mostly cant go running there on populated servers
gpus
If u go and pick up all the scraps in tech stores u still make like 300k per raid
but itll take you 40 minutes just to sell every each piece of t-plugs
psu 40k
take stuff atleast 8k per slot
10k a slot
nobody goes emercom medical tho lol
most rigs have 4 slot
its only 40k for wasting so much room
10k slot isnt bad when you're picking up scraps 🤷
texho, rasmussen, german, techlight id say
it is pretty trash
if youre scavving go for techlight as the last part of your journey on interchange, its the 1st place everyone goes to
airwing marine raised a good point too - theres value to havin a big meh item when you're looting, because of how easy it is to throw on the ground - doesnt take much thought
well @thorny phoenix people just play near techno and techlight and ultra medical until power goes on or until the fight ends
its not a real benefit obviously, but makes life a little easier
I dont think i'll ever play another map than labs these frames are so fucking nice
found a labs chad here!
compared to reserve fps its incredible
Factory for the budget runs
ratsowski does not sound like a chad name 😆
reserve is the worst in terms of fps
Reserve has always been best for me other than labs and factory
its pretty brutal but it dosent seem as bad recently
Until recently this last update murdered mine
just got a new monitor and eft won't play on it, it reverts back to the old monitor - are there any settings I need to change?
Unplug the old monitor
change your default monitor
alt+enter, move the game on the other monitor, then alt+enter again
Or turn game on windowed, move the game over, go to fullscreen
i get nice fps now that i turned off only use physical cores
somehow less thermal throttling too
i can finally play labs
without 5 fps 10% of the time
I get nice fps now that I undervolt my laptop to a point that if I play for too long it crashes
Doesn't matter. For me it sometimes opens on my second monitor if that's the one I'm on with my mouse while the game is supposed to open
alt+enter then press windows shift left or right then press alt+enter then
how do you thermal throttle
do you play on your bed under your blanket, with another blanket near every fan?
nice one, this worked, thanks
You're welcome
laptop
i even have cooling pad and everything
on a desk ofc
this is common for gamin laptops fwiw
not all of em designed to thermally support the hardware
sole reason i want a desktop
yep
or my friend was recommending me liquid metal thermal paste
cuz his old laptop he put some on and he was getting under room temperature temps somehow
lmao
Laptop = run at 98c
this sounds bad
lol
then its back to 85
i was telling him his temperature reader was broken lol
Mine runs at 98c normally while it’s running great
I mean I get 144fps on factory and 90 on customs so I’m happy
he got a fan to 28000 rpm using canned air so i dunno what to expect hes probably actually getting ice cold temps
if you just break the thermocouple you'll never throttle taps head
i live in canada
That is how cold works
yes
Yes
but we get -40 celsius
thats -40 Fahrenheit 😄
whys there a pmc 9 minutes before its over on interchange
im not weird american non metric user
its just cute how they kiss there
one of my best buds is canadian and he loves bringing up that intersection
maybe his 11sr got stolen
If you’re a scav and ever see 11sr open, loot it and then on the way out close the door and step out
So that they can’t have it
someone turned on power and a pmc killed me near kiba when i was about to loot a body smh
we get maple syrup haahahah
Real maple syrup
yes
if you buy something from flea can you not sell the exact same thing in flea? (the one you bought)
no
has to be found in raid
Must be FIR (found in raid) to sell on flea
thinsg must be found in raid to be sold on flea
dam
