Any good starting scopes for sks?

[merry berry]

why cant i pick something up

[crisp nest]

irons

[wet python]

I know one trader has a scoped sks as a barter

[merry berry]

it shows the animation but it just doesnt pick up

[wet python]

Ok

[warm sinew]

what's a good early game scope for the SV-98

[crisp nest]

u need the op-sks or the new chassis to mount sights

[hollow sparrow]

My game gets really bad performance issues but only on customs?

[wet python]

Ok I’ll practice with sks irons

Plan is to sell the starting m4’s and ammo and get the sks

[cosmic tinsel]

valday mounts easily i think. SV-98 has rails?

[warm sinew]

who do i buy it from

[cosmic tinsel]

dunno if theres anything that you can get pre-flea that mounts well on the sv-98

[wet python]

Best trader for selling guns?

[cosmic tinsel]

mechanic

[wet python]

Thanks

[unreal horizon]

from lvl 1 i think your only magnified option is 25mm rings and a pilad scope

[wet python]

Bless this discord for addressing these questions

I’ll be here a lot

[cosmic tinsel]

we will be too 😄

[wet python]

Haha

The game is insanely overwhelming

[merry berry]

does anyone know why i couldnt pick something up even hough i had space

[wet python]

I stared at my inventory for like 10 mins just like

Wtf

Holy shit

And the trader items…

So much…info

[tight roost]

you can examine stuff with middle mouseclick, that something i found very useful

[wet python]

Yeah been doing that

Inspecting everything and got to lvl 2

It’s a 2/3 screen game

[merry berry]

might wanna watch a couple videos if u already havent

[wet python]

Need to be constantly looking at wikis and maps early on

Yeah I’ve watched a ton

[olive turret]

before you go on a pmc raid do a scav run or run one offline

[wet python]

Most of the YouTube tutorials

Yeah I’ve been doing that

Offline for now

[olive turret]

nice

[wet python]

Practicing aiming

[olive turret]

better than me when i first started

[wet python]

Moving

I have a foundation, but weapon modding is way over my head

[tight roost]

i pretend that doesn't exist for now

[wet python]

Yeah fair

[merry berry]

its not too hard once u get the basics

[wet python]

My approach too

[tight roost]

i find a mod in a run, can't put it on any of my weapons, to mechanic it goes

[wet python]

Yeah fair

[unreal horizon]

its like bullets, it seems overwhelming but really you just need to know the best value, and the best overall

[wet python]

Yeah the ez ammo chart is cool

[merry berry]

is it worth saving air filters

and getting gas masks to make more

[wet python]

What worries me is apparently eod is pay to win

[opaque storm]

anyone got 306 west wing key?

[wet python]

which kind of sucks

[limber notch]

What is the new way to get more money on pk? (without flea)

[unreal horizon]

not really

[cosmic tinsel]

not in pvp. just easier money

[unreal horizon]

its pay to win faster

[wet python]

Right

[unreal horizon]

but you can still get all the shit

[tight roost]

my scav just started with a ofz 30x160mm shell wtf

[wet python]

Right eod won’t substitute for shit pvp play

[versed vigil]

EOD is pay2win. I know because I have it

[merry dust]

.300 ac blackout ap worth keeping

[limber notch]

nah, I know ppl with EOD who have 30% Sr

[olive turret]

Pay for a slightly easier experience outside of pvp

[cosmic tinsel]

i mean i spent 4 wipes dunkin on dudes with eod accounts

[crisp nest]

id sell on flea

[cosmic tinsel]

and now i have an eod account

[versed vigil]

but this game walks a fine line up there on what pay2win means

[unreal horizon]

its a way to support the game

[cosmic tinsel]

sure

[unreal horizon]

frankly if you buy eod for stash and container, you're a moron

[cosmic tinsel]

but "walks a fine line" is very different than "is"

[limber notch]

What do I buy/sell to pk to increase money spent?

[unreal horizon]

buy dollars if you can

or buy diaries from the market and convert

[limber notch]

only got 1m roubles

no flea 😦

[cosmic tinsel]

sell guns

[versed vigil]

on day 1, it's super pay2win. I have more gear than standard accounts. I have level 4 stash for free. I can hoard everything I want, without having to sell to vendors for really low prices, which I will have to retrieve again in the future

[cosmic tinsel]

buy anything you'd use from him

[wet python]

Right

[versed vigil]

after 2-3 months you can see the difference is how much gear you can sustain on EOD vs standard

[cosmic tinsel]

i'll find out

i never felt like i was super behind on standard account

[versed vigil]

then again, if the game released and there was like... 1 year to get up to speed, I believe pay2win would eventually even up with lower editions

[wet python]

If I really enjoy the game, I’ll go eod to support the devs

[hollow dune]

cant seem to get an oli legistics key any tips on finding one. cant buy one oi only got 100k

[cosmic tinsel]

i did it for the season pass

[wet python]

But definitely will take my time

Yeah I think it is a fine deal if you really love the game

[tight roost]

what i love most so far is knowing about some loot spawns that are not on mapgenie

[inland jacinth]

Anyone have the customs portable cabin key I can use?

[wet python]

I’ve been struck by the following for tarkov for years

[inner mountain]

whats the play with gpus this patch are they still gonna be $$?

[wet python]

Was always hoping to jump in but was intimidated

[opaque storm]

any one got west wing 306 key?

[versed vigil]

Let me put it this simple: People believe there's the concept of "pay2fast" where you don't pay2win but you actually get progress that you could otherwise unlock with time. The fact is, any upgrade that lets you skip time in a way that it unlocks power for you, is pay2win immediately.

[wet python]

Finally decided to see what all the fuss was about! And I love hardcore shooters

[versed vigil]

Just stash level 2 is like... over 2 million RUB

EOD gets level 4 from day 1

[limber notch]

Damn dude, who asked?

[wet python]

Yeah the benefits are clear

[hollow dune]

i like hot dogs

[limber notch]

Nice

[tight roost]

i watched this video today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdTI_uhivTc the comments say it is satire, but there seems to be some truth it, altough i don't know since i haven't tried it yet

[merry berry]

how do u ugys farm scav karma?

do yall chill with scavs and just fight with em

[cursive storm]

hi is there someone here that would help me extract from an offline raid in labs

I'm just now trying it for the first time cause I got a card

[unreal horizon]

you can really make money with that, but hatchet running is pretty frowned upon by most of the community

its satire

[tight roost]

well screw the community

not like they care for me

[unreal horizon]

generally i support however people want to play except hatchet running

just because it doesn't really make you better at the game

all you gear is gonna wipe eventually, so use that gear to get knowledge and experience

[wet python]

What is hatchet running?

[pure marsh]

Nothing

[wet python]

Lol

[unreal horizon]

going with literally nothing, putting gear into your empty pouch

[limber notch]

^

[wet python]

Yeah…

[unreal horizon]

its zero risk money, but its unfun and super lame

[limber notch]

Kinda the whole opposite of what the game is meant to be

[wet python]

I figured that as a strat

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah. i play tarkov for sneaky quiet looting

[unreal horizon]

sneeki breeki

[cosmic tinsel]

and adrenaline soaked pvp

[tight roost]

how come sometimes when i find a container it is open, but i have to close it first before searching, when i finish searching i close the container automatically. is this a setting or something? i would like to not close the container before having to search it

[cosmic tinsel]

getting sprayed down with a gpu in my booty is neither

[wet python]

If you die you only pay for heals right?

[cosmic tinsel]

real hatchet runners dont even pay for heals

[merry dust]

NO FUCKING WAYYY

[unreal horizon]

this happens to me but not my friends, honestly no idea

[cosmic tinsel]

someones looted it already

it leaves it open for other players but not you

[unreal horizon]

but when i finish looting it closes, and its not client side my teammates see it too

like they see it close

[tight roost]

yeah okay, thats what i assumed that someone looted it, but it still open and i have to close it before searching, which is real annoying

[pure marsh]

Shift+W

[proven saddle]

we tested it out, it only closes on enemy's side

[pure marsh]

But no being sneaky ever

Full Chad only

[sinful tusk]

does anyone have bunkhouse key ill trade for marked key?

[pure marsh]

No trading you salmon

[cosmic tinsel]

1. no trading 2) thats a terrible deal for you

[merry dust]

https://medal.tv/clips/57554584/d1337QfBx0e6

i dont know

how i managed to kill 1

[sinful tusk]

y no tradin

[cosmic tinsel]

its the rules

[tight roost]

btw. i always walk, like nearly always

is that bad?

[merry berry]

its safe but slow

[pure marsh]

Nah. The waddle is the way

[tight roost]

if i could wobble i would

[unreal horizon]

walking is very good

makes you more aware

[merry berry]

ok guys

theres at least 4 people in shoreline pier

with suppressed gunfire

whatre the chances its sanitar vs pmc

[pure marsh]

Shift+W

[olive turret]

could be sanititties kill em

[unreal horizon]

and running can be heard from 3x as far as walking, so if they run and you walk you have a big advantage

[merry berry]

or pmc vs pmc

[rough scarab]

most likely sanitar

people arent usually at pier

[merry berry]

hm i only have a untar and sks

[versed vigil]

Ty for the video lol

and here I was trying to be legit

[tight roost]

my first run ever was at shoreline at night, i walked like 50m then got blown up by a landmine, was fun

[merry berry]

yeah once u know where they are its ok

[unreal horizon]

sadge

[cosmic tinsel]

theres mines in one 50ft square of shoreline, bad luck 😄

[merry berry]

does sanitar camp the building with the safes?

[pure marsh]

There's like only one tiny minefield on the whole of shoreline. And there's signs

[merry berry]

in pier

[cosmic tinsel]

usually outside

[merry berry]

aight im risking it for the biscuit

[olive turret]

pain

[unreal horizon]

if you're new without postfx at night it's over

that the new class 5 rig?

[tight roost]

i think the landmine was the more fun way to go out tbh

it was bound to happen

[merry berry]

ok he onetapped me

i should not have risked it for the biscuit

didnt even make it into the pier just where the cars are

[cursive storm]

hi is there someone here that would help me extract from an offline raid in labs
I'm just now trying it for the first time cause I got a card

[olive turret]

no a normal gen 4 mob

[merry berry]

oh no the pmcs killed sanitar

[pure marsh]

Kill the PMCs

Ez loot

[merry berry]

i got head jawed kekw

[pure marsh]

Nice

[merry berry]

i was too late i shoulda went in when they were still fighting

[merry dust]

bru

[pure marsh]

That's true as well

[merry dust]

nades

nades are friends

[tight roost]

okay, going in for the second prapor quest, practiced it twice in offline mode! maybe this will be my first pmc extract

[merry dust]

depending on where it is and if the pin is pulled

[merry berry]

i think he was probably camping the building

[merry dust]

debut? or checking?

introduction?

[tight roost]

checking

[merry dust]

good luck with that

[tight roost]

thanks

[merry dust]

nades

once more

[merry berry]

i wasnt even in nade range

[merry dust]

increase strength

by infinite amounts

then nade range is every range

[merry berry]

i dont think ive even thrown a nade this raid

[merry dust]

you should

[tight roost]

throwing nades increases strength?

[merry berry]

yah

[tight roost]

guess i shouldn't have sold mine

[merry dust]

hurling a little ball surprisingly does

[merry berry]

well i know theyre op as all hell sometimes

[merry dust]

THEY ARE ALWAYS

no matter what

causes panic or kills them

either way

fucked

[tight roost]

my only guess as to what increases strength was carrying near or over your limit tbh

[merry dust]

that is true

[merry berry]

holy poggers

[merry dust]

when overweight

[merry berry]

scav with pu mosin and pilgrim

[merry dust]

pilgrim?

lucky

[merry berry]

all the times of f1 ing near scavs has paid off kekw

for those of u who cache run

how many do u normally visit a raid?

[unreal horizon]

5-8 maybe

until i'm full

[celest sage]

Infinite?

[merry dust]

joke

[merry dust]

4-5

wrong reply

[unreal horizon]

it also depends on your strength level too i guess

but 5 usually fills a trizip

[merry berry]

is antidote expensive

[merry dust]

here i anm

chugging a hot rod

at old gas

[pure marsh]

70k yesterday

Milk does the same thing

Immunity

[merry dust]

doesnt

augmentin

do that too?

[merry berry]

do physical sniper scavs still exist?

[merry dust]

yeah

[merry berry]

seem much less common than before

[cosmic tinsel]

woods still seems 100%

[pure marsh]

Yes

[cosmic tinsel]

shoreline seems somewhere above 50%

[unreal horizon]

2 spawn on shoreline sometimes

[crisp nest]

augmentin

not milk

[merry dust]

i find one there like every 3 years

but yeah they exist

[pure marsh]

Wanna bet?

[unreal horizon]

idk

[crisp nest]

probably lol

[pure marsh]

Fuck mike. I was gonna win that one

[crisp nest]

immunity doesnt do anything

[pure marsh]

Yeah it do

[crisp nest]

its not added

[crisp nest]

its not added thoygh

though

[unreal lion]

which trader should i sell what to?

[brisk sedge]

any new players dm me if wanna play

[merry dust]

whatever you can to therapist, then to mechanic

fence last

[unreal lion]

what abt prapor, peacekeeper and skier?

[somber summit]

Is the eod container worth the money?

[olive turret]

Milk used to work for toxin but then they fixed it

so only aug and the stim work

[pure marsh]

No

[merry berry]

whats the safest area to farm scavs in woods

[somber summit]

Would you mind elaborating a bit?

[merry dust]

I have maybe 10-15 aug so I don’t know if their worth

[tight roost]

i died :) attacked from two sided while being near the blue tent on the top middle. but i got the key in my alpha. so halfway there

[gentle stump]

How do I get US dollars? Just by selling stuff for US money or what?

[tight roost]

i dont know why there are two people there following me, but they sure did

[merry berry]

intel stuff sells the best to peacekeeper

[pure marsh]

EOD is for supporting the developers if you like the game

[gentle stump]

Intel stuff is...

[merry berry]

well the bigger container really does help though

um

stuff like

flash drives

[merry dust]

pk

[merry berry]

diary

[tight roost]

147 exp, sick. at this rate i might get level 10 when the next wipe comes around

[gentle stump]

Ah ok I have some of those

[merry berry]

intel folders

wait no dont sell them

u need them for quests and important hideout stuff

ur selling a docs case?

[crisp nest]

my bad

[gentle stump]

The flash drives?

[merry berry]

nani

yeah

[crisp nest]

i misread

[merry berry]

for skier ur gonna need 2 fir

[merry dust]

tough part is living I’ve gotten the watch tons of times can never make it out

[crisp nest]

i thought u meant container to hold diaries

[merry berry]

do it at night

[gentle stump]

Ok I’ll keep them, how about some stuff like a CPU fan or things?

[merry berry]

good for hideout

we should have the trader tier list pinned here

[gentle stump]

Darn it ok

[hollow moon]

May sound stupid but I really wanna stop doing this, every time I hear a tiny small audio queue I freeze up and would sit there for like 5 mins. The thing that gets me is if I actually hear footsteps I’m stuck and don’t know what to do, this almost always happens in a building and I almost always die. Any tips on acting on those footsteps and not just being stuck like a stone wall

[crisp nest]

i can help u with it i need it too, but ill b on in likke 4 hours

[merry berry]

i do the same

[somber summit]

The only other option with that size is the kappa and thats basically impossible for new players.

[unreal horizon]

press w

[merry berry]

its a fear ur just gonna have to get through

try it with scav loadouts first

[crisp nest]

play offline

rush some scavs

[hollow moon]

I just don’t know if I’m able to walk and be undetected. The distance he’s at and if he’s able to hear me

[limber notch]

"basically impossible" FULLSTOP

[merry berry]

it depends on what ur walking on

[somber summit]

@limber notch so its not even doable for people that have played alot?

[strong barn]

guys I just got rushed by about 7 players scavs in factory 🤣
mostfun Ive had all wipe; got 4 of them but damn lmfao
thats how many different kinds of rounds I took bahaha

[merry berry]

also u can change ur walk speed if u didnt know that

[somber summit]

Whats so hard about getting it? Just the lvl?

[merry berry]

u gotta do a lotta quests i think for kappa

[unreal horizon]

given the precedent of last wipe's xp, lvl 71 just isn't obtainable for 99% of players

[crisp nest]

99.9999999%

[somber summit]

I am gonna get epsilon or the other one, whatever is easier, because the standard alpha is just too small for me

[unreal horizon]

true

[crisp nest]

they even added 10% extra per level

stupid af

[merry berry]

when do ragman quests unlock

[unreal horizon]

lvl 15

[crisp nest]

yup

[merry berry]

are there any alternatives to tapco grip for gunsmith 2

[olive turret]

Mission: SURVIVE

[cosmic tinsel]

this is peak tarkov. the ANXIETY

[olive turret]

i'm close to extract

i'll go with you after

[cosmic tinsel]

might be doable with a different foregrip on the b-11

you'd have to play with the numbers tho

(which is theoretically the point of the quests) 😄

[merry berry]

im one ergo off...

jk i just had to take off muzzle

[compact granite]

anyone lose rep killing raiders recently? just wanna make sure its totally fixed before i pull a onepeg and go full negative

[snow tendon]

what does error 201 mean?

[bold kernel]

this scav has more style then my pmc , kinda sad

[pure marsh]

Epsilon my friend

[merry berry]

so really wheres the safest area to farm scavs in woods

[cosmic tinsel]

safe is a relative term. pretty much anything thats not lumber mill or emercom camp (camp full of metal storage containers)

[merry berry]

i always went to old station

i need long distance areas cause im doing jager stuff

[cosmic tinsel]

sounds good to me

[pure marsh]

IMO scav house, bunker, and both villages

But I'm also not scared of PvP at all

Or death

[merry berry]

im not scared of dying

but im kinda cosplaying as a soviet soldier

[crisp nest]

village and scav house and scav bunker

[simple orbit]

yo what mount i need for akm

[pure marsh]

Wdym?

To do what?

[merry berry]

will .366 one tap to the thorax on unarmored ppl

[pure marsh]

Yes

Wait

[crisp nest]

yes

up to class 4

[merry berry]

not ap tho

[crisp nest]

oh

[merry berry]

cause i go scav hnting

probably the flehs one

fmj

[crisp nest]

all except eko

[pure marsh]

You are incorrect

Thorax is 85hp

[merry berry]

so if i black it they instadie?

in one shot

[pure marsh]

Yes

[olive turret]

im ready but i mostly got NA West servers depending on if you want to host

[bold kernel]

sometimes when I load in I immediately head to vehicle extracts yet even when I arrive within less than 1 minute of the raid starting, there is no vehicle, even when it's a listed extract, Is this normal?

[olive turret]

its not a guranteed extract

unless its woods car i think

[bold kernel]

ah oki thanks

[shrewd tree]

hey guys what would be the best place to find thermite and gunpowder Im trying to get the ammo crate

[pure mist]

not worth the trade

you'll get 2 from a quest

[merry berry]

Theyre both really rare

I've never seen thermite yet

[pure mist]

"big customer" "samples" "gunsmith part 10"

the easiest one is big customer

gives you 2 ammo cases

[merry berry]

oh damn

what should i do with green powder then

[shrewd tree]

arent those late game quests

[pure mist]

big customer isn't

[pure mist]

sell them on flea or craft ammo you need to want to sell with it

[orchid dagger]

how do i get scav karma up? I just killed a scav who killed a scav and i only got 0.01?

[red schooner]

how does one play solo, i always die

[shrewd tree]

big customer is prapor if im not mistaken

[pure mist]

yes

it's right after chemical part 3

[shrewd tree]

ok im currently on the quest where you have to find the usec camp and killing scavs

[pure mist]

which is no late quest

[olive turret]

car extracts, friendly pmc scav extracts, killing evil pscav, and i think there was something about bosses surviving the raid idk

[shrewd tree]

15 scavs in woods sorry

[orchid dagger]

is there friendly pmc scav extracts on factory?

[merry berry]

for car extracts its scav only right

[olive turret]

no

[olive turret]

no

[orchid dagger]

whats an example map/extract for being a friendly scav?

[olive turret]

you can car extract on pmc and get scav karma

[orchid dagger]

how much?

[glass ravine]

Woods reserve and interchange

[merry berry]

oh damn i should do that more often

[orchid dagger]

Thanks dude

[olive turret]

reserve scav lands

scav camp ic

[orchid dagger]

dont u need a pmc for scavlands?

[olive turret]

woods factory gate

[glass ravine]

Isn't that what you asked?

[olive turret]

you NEED a pmc AND scav

[orchid dagger]

dm i get what you mean now

[olive turret]

not SCAV and SCAV

[orchid dagger]

thnaks 🙂

[olive turret]

yep

[orchid dagger]

do you know how much rep you ghet for using car extarct?

[bold kernel]

guys , is this gun good ?

[pure mist]

.25, then .13 then 0.08

eventually 0.01

[glass ravine]

0.25 first time, goes down every time you use it

[orchid dagger]

Cool thanks... 🙂

[pure mist]

if you mod it

should sell decent on flea

[proven saddle]

shoots big bad bullets

bad as in good

[pure mist]

i love a juice cannon lol

[merry berry]

ergo is all hell to use though

[glass ravine]

It hits hard but too hard to control it unmodded

[pure mist]

well i see that as it's "balance" to shooting full auto big rounds

[olive turret]

usually that gun comes with fmj which has 31 pen

solid but recoil and ergo is mega fucked stock

[merry berry]

well if it were smaller then it would be uncontrollable in semi too

[red schooner]

how do I not die playing solo

[olive turret]

learn routes

learn spawns

pick fights well

use good ammo

dont sprint like a maniac

dont crouch walk around every corner

[glass ravine]

Always use headphones

[bold kernel]

ty , the game just lets me spawn with it as a scav

[glass ravine]

If you're in a fight, don't slowwalk

[simple orbit]

don’t you love when other scav players kill you the best

[olive turret]

it happens but this wipe scav interactions are WAY better than it was before

[simple orbit]

it is but i was like oh nice load out does instant

does

dies

[olive turret]

yeah they greedy it happens

[simple orbit]

yup happens

anyone one got cowboy hate i need one i’ll trade

[red haven]

Ive saved up about 900K rubbles and can buy the lucky scav box soon. Is it worth it at level 8

[red schooner]

worth at any level

[inner mountain]

worth if you dont have EoD

wait til later if u do

imo

[olive turret]

least you guys didnt grind for 1.9 mil

only for the box to go down to 1.1

[bold kernel]

Anybody know tips for spa tour part 1?

Cause every time I tried running up I just keep hitting thorax

[olive turret]

play night

[bold kernel]

bro i be getting head eyes from 100 meters in night

cant even see them

even with gp nvg

[olive turret]

i dont use nvgs at night

[near plover]

where do i find vasline

[olive turret]

play with gamma contrast and post fx

[bold kernel]

o

it doesn't really help for me

I can't seem to see scavs still

[gray gorge]

so the scav box is worth it even though it will probably drain your money

[red schooner]

can you give me your exact settings, I've done a lot but i still can't see anything

[bold kernel]

Pleasee

[olive turret]

It'll be different due to monitor gamma/contrast as well as its still not super clear because of the black wall thing they have in

just go to an offline night raid and tweak it

[opaque storm]

any one got west wing 306 key?

[torn matrix]

@unreal horizon want to exfil camp gate 3?

#dothelordswork

[gentle stump]

What’s a decent way to make some good money with no flee market?

[torn matrix]

sights + attachtments

[gentle stump]

Really? I always through them away I never thought they were worth much

[tight roost]

should i sell dogtags or keep them?

[torn matrix]

walther is a 10k sell to mechanic

most supressors at 15+

[gentle stump]

Oh wow

[inland jacinth]

Boys anyone be willing to give me a disposable syringe and a pile of meds

[keen sundial]

I am level 9 and I have lucky scav junk box and 3 million roubles...

[merry plume]

Why can't i turn this in for gunsmith part 4?

[olive turret]

cause wiki isnt updated for parts

recoil

lower it to below combined 250

[signal musk]

I do

[unreal horizon]

why there's no point lol

[signal musk]

Swars it’s a complete dif build now

[unreal horizon]

i can make 10x the money on shoreline

[opaque storm]

can we run a shoreline?
'

[signal musk]

Yes let me finish my shower, add me

[cosmic tinsel]

👀 just finished dinner if you're cruisin

[cosmic tinsel]

wanna do what you usually do and get half the value

😉

[unreal horizon]

big brain

i mean honestly duo camping shoreline is fine

[bold kernel]

The same way you would with flea

[unreal horizon]

usually i'm like FAT, 80kg and shit

[bold kernel]

Do loot runs

Sell whatever to traders

You’ll need it to get higher LL anyway

Items that are usually highly priced on flea

Just save for later

That’s it

There isn’t any other secret way

[olive turret]

im down you wanna host? most of my servers are na west

[cosmic tinsel]

im nae - either one is probably fine

you got a room or should i give you a call

[olive turret]

just call

[tight roost]

so i tried the sks as a recommended beginner weapon now, i dont know how that weapon helps in any way. i have yet to hit someone with it when i get hit first

like it just sways around and my vision is blurry and i cant even really see my iron sights

[cosmic tinsel]

thats pretty normal early on

[steel cape]

does compass drop when u die or is it like the melee weapon?

[olive turret]

like melee

[tight roost]

so, whats the point of using the sks then

thing needs me to at least somewhat be able to aim, i can't auto in the general direction

idk, fighting without good gear seems somewhat pointless

[unreal horizon]

play like its a dmr, keep your distance and be sneaky

[tight roost]

what is a dmr

[thorn canopy]

Designated Marksman Rifle

[unreal horizon]

marksman rifle, pretty much a semi auto sniper

point is you're strong long range, weak up close

[tight roost]

yeah okay, but so far i only get sneaked on

[merry berry]

is 3-b-g stimulant good

[tight roost]

and i am trying to do this quest

[unreal horizon]

is that the orange one?

[tight roost]

cant even get to the truck on customs where that necklace or whatever is

[merry berry]

3-b-tg

no green

[unreal horizon]

oh with the orange ends?

i don't think its very good

[merry berry]

oh yeah

spawned with scav

[unreal horizon]

don't think the buffs are worth it

main stims you'll use are propital, sj6, and etg regen

[merry berry]

energy goes down the drain

[olive turret]

do it at night or something

usually less people

[tight roost]

what item should i buy to see at night?

[cosmic tinsel]

this is correct

[unreal horizon]

think you can get cheap NVGs from skier 2

[glass oxide]

gamma settings increase

[tight roost]

uhm okay, last time i had a night run i could barely see

[steel cape]

can someone tell me wether or not this is in fact true: scavs seem way 'dumber' at night time..

[glass oxide]

if by dumber you mean can't spot you even when you are kinda close to them then yes

[steel cape]

yeah

[frail lynx]

Anyone have RB-SMP KEY and willing to open door??

[glass oxide]

scav bosses and guards can still see their normal range though im pretty sure

[worthy topaz]

Would i get better performance in Tarkov by adding another 2x4 to my already existing 2x4 ram to get 16 gb ram, or replace my 2x4 ram sticks with a 8x2? So basically would i get better performance with dual channel 16gb ram 3000mhz, or quad channel 16gb ram 2400mhz?

[forest cloak]

I ran into the cultist boss the other night and man I was 2 feet away and killed them then got lasered down from the dark, learned to be close to cover when Killin the bosses lol

[wise swan]

Can’t find delicious beef stew to save me LIFE. Anyone know a good place to look? I’ve been running woods and reserve like crazy and no luck

[forest cloak]

Interchange goshan

[wise swan]

Ight

Thx

[forest cloak]

I looted about 40 cans of food there I'm one raid

[wise swan]

I’ll give it a go

[unreal horizon]

yeah its crazy rn

[wise swan]

That’s first floor right?

[forest cloak]

Back of the mall ya

[unborn flicker]

If you have chrome tabs/other apps open as I normally do, I had to go for 4x8's

[forest cloak]

If you get a good scav with a backpack and big rig I just go loot food lol

[merry berry]

why do so many scavs have opsks bodies on sks guns?

[worthy topaz]

Does ram speed really matter when it comes to tarkov? Because its a 600mhz difference.

[wise swan]

I only need one can lol. Level 12 and still stuck on ONE more can

Lol

[tight roost]

died within 38 seconds at night

[merry berry]

First time?

[tight roost]

idk. i think i will just never use my pmc again

[merry berry]

Nah u just gotta be a bit more passive

[tight roost]

well the last 10 times i was passive i died as well

[merry berry]

If ur doing missions then wait 5-10 minutes for pmcs to do stuff

[tight roost]

so, how is that

[merry berry]

I would wait in a bush at some random area for 10 min then run it

[tight roost]

i dont see how that helps tbh

are players just gone after 10 minutes

[merry berry]

Cause the first couple minutes are super dangerous

Everyone's running around tryna get to places

[shrewd tree]

lol after buying the scav junk box im hella broke

btw I have a horse statue should I keep that

[merry berry]

I've died 20 seconds in cause I met someone who was tryna go where I was going

[torn matrix]

military checkpoint key in customs to therapist for 62000? wtf

[merry berry]

R u doing checking?

[tight roost]

me ?

[merry berry]

Yeh

[tight roost]

yes i am

i got the key in my alpha

[merry berry]

I did it at the dead of night

[tight roost]

i just did that as well

[merry berry]

Waited bout 20 min in a bush

[tight roost]

that sounds so dumb

[merry berry]

Ran towards it

[tight roost]

but i believe you that that is probably the smartest thing to do

[merry berry]

Walked into construction

And instantly extracted

[shrewd tree]

lol last time I waited 20 minutes in a bush and this guy walked up behind me used a voice line I turned around and got clapped

[tight roost]

i just don't understand what the point of my pmc is, i am now at 17 raids and 0 extracts

[merry berry]

I also try to avoid any gunfights

Um once u get good stuff u can run it with ur pmc

Have u learned the maps yet?

[tight roost]

i can find my way around customs and interchange

[unreal horizon]

point is to get to the loot first

[merry berry]

I think u also gotta get lucky with ur spawn

When I did it I spawned towards factory side

[tight roost]

i tried sprinting to my loot twice now and got shot in the back two times

[shrewd tree]

I ran out of cheese

[merry berry]

And ran towards bjg red

I don't loot when doing missions

Worse come to worse go to lfg and find a guy to carry u

[tight roost]

i mean its the same when doing loot

if i am running towards a quest item or loot, whats the difference for the guy behind me

[mental bramble]

I don't seem to be able to find these extracts. I am new so I'm only playing factory right now

0 extracts 25 raids. Don't get me wrong
I'm loving it

[tight roost]

use this site https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/interchange

[mental bramble]

But wtf lol

[merry berry]

r u going on the safest routes possible?

[tight roost]

what is the safest route possible?

[merry berry]

depending on where u spawn

[tight roost]

i once spawned near military base and once near inbetween rocks

[merry berry]

buut essentially i never go through any buildings or landmarks

until construcion

it takes longer but oh well

[tight roost]

on the run where i got the key, i went out trough the back of dorms and was at the blue tent inbetween dorms extract and sniper block

[bold kernel]

should i pick bear or usec?

[tight roost]

someone followed me and someone came up ahead

[bitter nova]

???

[deft bramble]

you need a space in inventory to sell

[merry berry]

dorms is abad area

[deft bramble]

oh wait.. that's 519 maybe?

[tight roost]

i cant bounce outside the map, so idk

well thats where the key was

[merry berry]

go in the middle of the map

oh for the key

[unreal horizon]

usec starts with US weapons and has english voicelines. Bear starts with russian weapons and speaks russion, imo bear has cooler clothing options

[deft bramble]

@bitter nova make sure you have 1 open spot in inventory or it can't sell - try that

[unreal horizon]

it really comes down to preference, there's no advantage 1 way of the other

[bitter nova]

worked ty @deft bramble

[deft bramble]

happened to me earlier

[tight roost]

these were my two routes. the blue one was at night

[bold kernel]

which emote for scav makes them a follower if you have high scav reputation

[deft bramble]

the "come here" hand

bottom left i think

[unreal horizon]

i mean you're pushing dorms, you'll probably run into people doing the same

[unborn flicker]

fun fact

if you flick a scav off, they'll flick you off and shoot to kill

[tight roost]

i wasn't aware that dorm is this highly sought after place

[unreal horizon]

it has a marked room which is good for loot, has a bunch of quests, and is a pvp hotspot

[tight roost]

but unless i look for a cozy bush, this is the only way to go for me

well not quite, i could hug the wall and take a detour over admingate, but thats not real different from a bush in the end

so they put a quest location into a pvp hotspot

a early quest

i just love how this game treats new players

[unborn flicker]

is there a way to open my pmc's character while doing scav loot transfer?

[stark isle]

Hi ,is there like a guide or something on performance settings and which things i can crank up and which one shouldn't to get the best perforance-look ratio?

[dawn geyser]

Niet, unfortunately.

[inland jacinth]

Anyone know a good place to find syringes

[crisp nest]

any med spawn

[dawn geyser]

Any place with

Yes Erv1s

lol

[crisp nest]

fast as fuck boii

[simple orbit]

yo anyone know where to buy best ammo for akm all my traders are lvl 1

[crisp nest]

ps

prapor

[dawn geyser]

Erv1s got this

I'm going to play Tarkov

[crisp nest]

nah im in class

lol

[wild yarrow]

@elfin saddle

[crisp nest]

gotta dip

[simple orbit]

damn lvl two armor class doe

[proven saddle]

bruh i cant for the life of me find zibbos

[torn matrix]

so many scav karma questions.

[proven saddle]

kill pmcs, rouge scavs or car extract

or pmc+scav extract

thats how you gain it

[torn matrix]

leaving factory with a fellow pscav. he gets blasted. i kill the guy. get +.1. then all pscavs turn on me

do they go +.1 as well?

[proven saddle]

no

they just think they will

because you killed the other scav

[torn matrix]

gotcha

so do they get -.1

[proven saddle]

yes

i mean no

[torn matrix]

like do i stand and fight then and just die?

[proven saddle]

-0.02

if they actually hit you, yes

if they miss just run

if they hit you you dont get the penalty

if they miss you do

[crisp nest]

huh

they have to get a kill dont they

system kinda sux

[proven saddle]

for you to gain it

[torn matrix]

so if i get hit

[proven saddle]

if he hits you and you kill him you dont gain nor lose anything

[torn matrix]

and i hit them. they get 0

yeah

so best to stand and die

[crisp nest]

ah ok

[torn matrix]

so they get -.2

[proven saddle]

.02*

[torn matrix]

yea

[proven saddle]

negative obv

[torn matrix]

i had three pscavs on me

[proven saddle]

run away at that point

[torn matrix]

i dont want to lose -.06

[proven saddle]

if a player scav shoots at you your best bet is to run regardless of the situation

[sonic cloak]

is PACA armor still useful at this point? don’t have a lot of space and have way better armor, not sure if i should sell them

[proven saddle]

its never useful

not even day 1

[unreal horizon]

100%, it'll save you from shotgun scavs and pistols

[proven saddle]

shotgun scavs headshot you anyway

they either miss or hit your head

[crisp nest]

nah they shred ur limbs with 8.5

[proven saddle]

or that

[near plover]

where do i find corrugated hoses

[crisp nest]

the flea

tech crates

[proven saddle]

and tool boxes

[proud flower]

@near plover interchange and woods are were I get mine

[proven saddle]

ye same

[proud flower]

Whats the one store with the big fire in it?

[proven saddle]

goshan

so either the back of goshan or oli and the back of oli

your best bets

[proud flower]

Ya the back area of there is really good

[green elbow]

Hi im new can i get help ? lol

[proud flower]

You ever play before?

[green elbow]

like a little bit with my friend

just bought it today

[proud flower]

I'd watch a video or two

[green elbow]

Ive done a few scav runs

[proven saddle]

or 10

[gray ridge]

how does this game track hits? I've had two extremely strange instances in a row now where bullets don't seem to be tracking right
First one was against two players. Took one out, saw the second and ran behind a cement wall. Heard a single shot from that player (on the other side of a wall now) and I'm dead.
Second was against a scav. I put three rounds from an op-sks in his face, nothing happened. He put a truck between me and him, shot at me, and I died.

[proven saddle]

desync

[crisp nest]

^

[proud flower]

There's a bit of desync but I'd blame myself before that

[proven saddle]

on his screen you were standing still

[proven saddle]

nah sometimes its really bad

[jolly lily]

whats more usefull long run for chemical part 4 cause i need both the ammo case and med case

[proud flower]

Med

[crisp nest]

skier

[proven saddle]

both are good

[proud flower]

Ammo case is really easy to get elsewhere

[proven saddle]

id say skier too

[grave valve]

id worry about the rep instead of the cases

[crisp nest]

^

go skier

[proud flower]

Theres rep?

[grave valve]

skier is go to

[proud flower]

Ya id do that then

[crisp nest]

-0.3 for who u dont pick

[proven saddle]

025*

[crisp nest]

o

[proud flower]

That's not super bad

[proven saddle]

it is

[grave valve]

thats like 3-5 more quests to do to get that rep back

[errant yacht]

If you have EOD it doesn’t matter honestly

[proven saddle]

im prapor 1 again 🙂

[proven saddle]

i have eod

[proud flower]

4 real?

Never even done that quest tbh

[jolly lily]

i have eod so idc about rep tbh

[proven saddle]

again

i have eod and im prapor 1 again

and quite a bit to go to level 2

[errant yacht]

What prap quest you on?

[proven saddle]

ice cream cones

the 25 scavs

and there was another one

hold on

[jolly lily]

even if i dont give it to skier i keep lv 2 skier cause of how far im on his quests

[olive turret]

That it is pretty bad

[proven saddle]

its annoying af

i need 4 more m67s

and i cant find zibbos or the nades themselves

[jolly lily]

the only one i lose a lv is if don't give it to prapor

[proven saddle]

id still give it to skier

his quests are annoying af

youll find the nades at some point

or get to level 20 and buy em off the flea

[bold kernel]

server connection lost fun

[gentle stump]

No no that’s good, you can reconnect and all. I had it happen earlier today and it saved my life, I was in a fight and rejoined to find myself alone

[bold kernel]

i know its just hella annoying

[gentle stump]

Yeah it is

That was the one time it was decent to disconnect

[tight roost]

midnight, waited 20 minutes in some bush, started walking, died to a pmc after traveling half the way. i think i am done with this quest

[bold kernel]

which one

[tight roost]

checking ( the quest named 'checking' )

[bold kernel]

yeah i know

its a pretty early quest

go fast not slow

[tight roost]

i waited 20 minutes

[bold kernel]

and then avoid the middle parts of the map

[tight roost]

how much slower

[bold kernel]

i said

go fast not slow

golden swag skier quest glitcted out

[tight roost]

#beginners-assistance message this is my attempts going fast

[bold kernel]

got to portable cabin but the door wont open

[tight roost]

and how do i avoid the middle of the map, that is where my quest goal is

[bold kernel]

didnt recieve key either

after u got it dawg

ppl are gonna be in the middle parts if u wait

run there was and then avoid the middle

[tight roost]

i linked you two attempts of me running there

[green elbow]

how can i join a beginner vc

they are all over maxed

[bold kernel]

idk what to tell u

u were unlucky

but thats tarkov

rng simulator

[worthy topaz]

Will more RAM in Tarkov load you into maps faster?

[bold kernel]

ssd

[worthy topaz]

Thats was fast but ok

I

[tight roost]

there is a lower threshold for RAM, but unless you are constantly at max, then no

[worthy topaz]

I have a 500gb SSD

[gray ridge]

and died a third time, was sat in a corner not moving, player sprinted around the corner and domed me instantly

[bold kernel]

yeah im just farming keycards rn so i can reply

youre gonna die alot in this game

get used to it

[grave valve]

first couple hundred hours is rough

[bold kernel]

^

[tight roost]

i am at 20 deaths no extracts, people love it ( when they are out of it and kill them )

[worthy topaz]

Hundred? I have a long way to go

[grave valve]

yea, lots to learn in this game

spawns, heavy scav areas, player routes, hotspots, loot areas

[tight roost]

i feel like i am not dying to any of that stuff tbh

[grave valve]

need a key to open that

[tight roost]

i feel like i am dying to people who have 5 times my gear, because when i play scav it goes much much better

[gray ridge]

I'm at 14 deaths and 7 extracts. The last three deaths just all seemed super strange. The other 11 I just sucked.

[bold kernel]

i wouldnt call myself a good player but im pretty decent

ull get over it

if u play

[gray ridge]

I rock as a scav, I extract almost every time

[grave valve]

@tight roost lot less pmc's on the map when you scav, and ppl are starting to slowly learn that being friendly is better than not

[gaunt pelican]

anyone have a guide for wich items to keep

[gray ridge]

Player, not so much. I have a hard time leaving my general spawn area without getting clapped.

[grave valve]

@gaunt pelican on the wiki

theres pics of everything you need for quests, both fir and not fir

[proven saddle]

avoid fights you cant win, learn spawns and where people mostly go

[bold kernel]

man i wanna buy blue and red before they get expensive

[tight roost]

why do people always say this: avoid fights. i have yet to see a new person trying to actively go for a fight

same for: dont play this like cod. i have yet to see a person play this like cod

[bold kernel]

depends on the player

i like to play it like cod

[gray ridge]

the guys who carried me before played this like cod. Sprinting everywhere and clapping everyone.

Meanwhile I'm crying in a bush somewhere xD

[tight roost]

how do you play this like cod. when i get hit once it is basically over. my vision is blurry, my weapon sways like crazy, using the iron sights is basically useless

[bold kernel]

what key is it?

[proven saddle]

buy a sight

[tight roost]

which one for which weapon do you recommend

[proven saddle]

and use painkillers

[grave valve]

portable cabin key i think? whats the name of the quest, i dont remember a lot of the names of the early quest keys

[gray ridge]

Same, I have to go mega stealth. As soon as I get shot, my vision blurs and it's over. Can't see, can't shoot.

[proven saddle]

depends on what you have acces to

[tight roost]

level 1 everything

[proven saddle]

well then cobra is your best bet

[grave valve]

@bold kernel is the quest The Extortionist?

[tight roost]

see

[proven saddle]

it kinda sucks now

[tight roost]

i am beginning to believe that people dont actually know what they are talking about. so far i asked 3 times for a weapon recommendation, i got 3 different answers so far

[proven saddle]

or pso scope for long range

[tight roost]

4 diferrent answsers now

[proven saddle]

its a sight, not a weapon

[obtuse summit]

there r fkin alot of weapons

how u want a single one?

[proven saddle]

best i can recommend for level 1 is sks with ps rounds

cant put a sight on it tho unless its the one from jeager

[grave valve]

@bold kernel Trailer Park Portable Cabin Key is the one you want

[gray ridge]

Play what feels right. At level one everything, I enjoy the AKM against players and OP-SKS against scavs.

[tight roost]

my experience with being hit once and then being basically dead was my experience with that weapon

[proven saddle]

thats not the weapons fault tho is it

[tight roost]

i get hit once, vision is blurry, aiming down sights is a nightmare, cant auto

but that is how i die in this game

[lunar parrot]

Yo anyone else keep crashing as soon as it gets to the deploy screen? My discord crashes then my entire game crashes, wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing?

[tight roost]

you recommended a scope against that, i asked which weapon + scope

[proven saddle]

nah

[proven saddle]

op-sks with cobra dovetail/pso for long range

there

itll be around 50k for the whole thing

[grave valve]

^

[proven saddle]

or normal sks with no sights, the irons arent that bad

[tight roost]

and what do i do at medium to short range, which weapon do you recommend for that

[proven saddle]

mp5 from pk with the 8 knives

slap a rail on that bitch and a sight good to go

[grave valve]

buy the knives right from fence, hes got em all

6k ea i believe

[proven saddle]

or scav for em

free gun

people dont usually loot the knives, youll find plenty on dead scavs

[lone delta]

Im in raid, I believe im close to the goshan manifest but can't locate it, can someone call me and view my screen please to guide me for a second, pretty sure im near it

[proven saddle]

wiki

[lone delta]

Tried, great help though, appreciate it

[proven saddle]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Database_-_Part_1

[tight roost]

pso is that ammunition or something different?

[worn latch]

@lone delta i can\

[proven saddle]

scope

[grave valve]

pso is a scope and also ammo, but he was talking about the scope

[worn latch]

pso is also ammo

[proven saddle]

dont touch the ammo

[grave valve]

^

[tight roost]

i couldnt find pso ammo for the sks, thats why i asked

[grave valve]

its trash

[tight roost]

only ps ghz

[grave valve]

yea that

[proven saddle]

ps is the way

[lone delta]

@worn latch dmed u

yeah its been slow tonight

[strong barn]

anyone interested in my gunsmith part 4 build? Im curious what you guys came up with if youve gotten there

[torn matrix]

any idea best place to get a toz?

factory scav run?

[strong barn]

probably best idea ^

[inland jacinth]

Customs is good too for toz

[topaz girder]

So i am a little confused, can other players loot from you compass slot or is it safe like the pouch?

[strong barn]

its safe like your pouch

[topaz girder]

hehehe

[inland jacinth]

Anyone here got flea unlocked? I need a huge favor

[bold kernel]

they finally removed the fucking slow mode

[crisp nest]

that was in #beginners-chat not assistance

[bold kernel]

[lean yacht]

can anyone help with Operation Aquarius task in Customs?

[slow night]

thank fuck i hit 20 baby!

how can i consistently make money before the flea?

[restive girder]

anybody lf1 ?

[bold kernel]

Thanks dude, i brought the wrong key last time lol

[torn matrix]

kill scavs with pmc. take guns and armor. sell?

i just made 1.5 in the last three days to get my scav box

[proven saddle]

idk i kinda take loot and sell it

you know, the whole point of the game

[steel cape]

why on earth is there no sort feature on my stash?

[bold kernel]

dose anyone have zb-014 key

[steel cape]

its an unholy mess

nevermind apparently there is one lol

[crisp nest]

there is

bottom of the icon br

bar

[steel cape]

this was not good for my eyes and my ADHD

[unreal horizon]

If cases got sorted to the top it would be perfect

[grave valve]

you should be able to lock items in place so sort wont move them

[unreal horizon]

That too

[crisp nest]

and no deleteing them

[unreal horizon]

The sorting menu thing is so useless

[crisp nest]

if i deleted my container or labs keycards id uninstall

[grave valve]

reset account in that case if container is gone

[steel cape]

what container are u talking about

[grave valve]

secure container

[steel cape]

oki

i keep getting shot by player scav in factory..
