[elfin pendant]

yeah but is the quest mandatory? it shows there is 2 options i think

[serene reef]

i have night vision built in

thanks to color distinction

fite me

i feel better in the shadows

[bold kernel]

theres nothing manditory aside the quests required for kappa and even then that requires level 71 so 99% of people will never get it this wipe.

these are side tasks, the main storyline is not even in game yet

use them for trader rep in the end

[serene reef]

freaking easy xD

also igot the office key for customs

anyone wants a drop :O ?

[topaz crown]

[inner mountain]

@ashen basin ill join if u want more people lmfao that quest is cursed

[ashen basin]

[hollow moon]

@bold kernel what do you use to store dog tags

mines full

[bold kernel]

a dog tags case

[serene reef]

dog tags case or earlier junk box

besides

[hollow moon]

@bold kernel what should i sell

[serene reef]

dog tags below like lvl 8 or 10 are better sold, right?

[foggy stratus]

save for punisher part 6

[serene reef]

oh wait trueeeeee

[foggy stratus]

:/

[errant yacht]

If you really want to min Max save your gem but it’s not a massive deal dogtags are easy to collect

[serene reef]

just usec tho?

[serene reef]

or bear too?

[foggy stratus]

7 usec 7 bear

[hollow moon]

I have over 20 usec

[serene reef]

i see i see

[hollow moon]

and i think like 4 bear

[serene reef]

easy if you're good at pvp LMAO

some people arent

[foggy stratus]

theres always less bears aswell

[hardy marsh]

shift + w

[errant yacht]

True but even then I found probably like 20 dogtags last wipe that were killed by Scavs plus ones that people just didn’t loot

[foggy stratus]

thats the requirement

[blissful lodge]

what's the best way to get a gun with a scope pre lvl 20?

[bold kernel]

need 3 for shooter born in heaven cheese

[serene reef]

ak with pso on dovetail

[ashen basin]

[errant yacht]

You’ve got it soft, praying for the good spawn

[bold kernel]

need 3 for shooter born in heaven cheese

[pliant topaz]

when will tarkov eod upgrade go on sale?

[hollow moon]

you missed it a couple of week ago

[velvet blade]

it went on sale twice last 1-2 months

[hollow moon]

Its got that 91 super+ gas in it

oh

he deleted it

!snipe

[tepid osprey]

Is it worth hatchet running to interchange to get graphics card or tetris to sell?

[cosmic tinsel]

it'll get you money

you wont learn much about the game

depends what you want from your time

[olive turret]

tetris is like 30k a slot not as valuable as gcard

even then you'll prob get rushed by a ttv or pistol runner

[tepid osprey]

When did this season start?

[cosmic tinsel]

june 30

[tepid osprey]

oh so there are still

players who don't have much loot

[cosmic tinsel]

most of the people here 😄

[tepid osprey]

i haven't played the game for a year

[bold kernel]

need 3 for shooter born in heaven cheese

[unreal lion]

can sb tell me how much the light brown night vision goggles are on the flea market

[warm shadow]

I did it I gave the doc

[bold kernel]

need 3 for shooter born in heaven cheese

[crisp nest]

yes

[warm shadow]

what do I do for this

[crisp nest]

[warm shadow]

how place marker

[crisp nest]

watch a video

and its literally just f

[warm shadow]

send vid

[crisp nest]

im not doing stuff for u?

just use google

[tender robin]

Hello i'm below lvl 20 and i'm stuck on a quest i need the portable bunkhouse key can someone sell it to me or trade it ?

[pure marsh]

Lol

[crisp nest]

typical beginners assistance users

@pure marsh by any chance do you somehow have therapist 4

[upbeat kindle]

night time customs is better for quests right? i'm trying to complete checking rn

[tender robin]

yes

[unreal lion]

its early enough in the wipe so most people wont have night vision

[upbeat kindle]

right, i'm going in i guess

[crisp nest]

keep in mind other players think like you too @upbeat kindle

they may try it too

but they wont be the type to chase pvp

[upbeat kindle]

yup yup

[west plover]

only main thing about night maps is scavs are especially scary lol

[crisp nest]

most have poor aim but sometimes they see you

[timber moth]

i just got the game can anyone help

[crisp nest]

thru like 6 bushes

[unreal lion]

what do you need help with?

[lament gale]

yo can someone help me unlock jaeger? i dont know woods at all

[unborn oak]

anyone able to show me the ropes?

[velvet blade]

load it offline, learn where the plane is, find the outpost

[charred hull]

Im trying to complete debut should i go to dorms or stick near like the factories area

i need scav kills

[crisp nest]

construction area

[lament gale]

personally i stuck to big red area and then got my scav kills but you could probably look up a map of scav spawns

[sage pivot]

hey anyone wanna group up

i know the basics but thats about it

willing to listen and learn

[unborn oak]

im down man

[sage pivot]

sweet what now lol

invite me

[carmine creek]

https://i.imgur.com/Mr5mCcN.png what can i do about that?

[upbeat kindle]

any cheap loadouts for customs? just died when i got to dorms lmao. trying to do checking quest

[carmine creek]

whats the name of that quest exactly?

[timber moth]

would anyone be able to join a call and help me

[crisp nest]

checking

the pocket watch one

[upbeat kindle]

yea

[carmine creek]

ooh thats the one my brother had always done lul, never actually did that personally before

if its a fetch quest just bring a pistol or aa chep gun +one mag for self degense and run like sonic

[west plover]

I'm gonna run interchange but if you're still looking later, I can probably help. Otherwise you can try your luck in #pvp-lfg... and keep a map open on another monitor or your second phone, like the map from mapgenie for Woods

[upbeat kindle]

i think i'm gonna do that

[deep edge]

Yea pistol on a night run and just be a sneaky boi

[crisp nest]

yup thats what id recommend

although'

i play customs as normal

then do quests when i get a spawn for em

[carmine creek]

https://i.imgur.com/ts7md3f.png this is a pretty decent cheap beginners pistol

[pure marsh]

Nope. I've been chilling from Tarkov for a bit

[crisp nest]

same lmao

[upbeat kindle]

yea imma get this one, but first i'll use my scav run

[carmine creek]

just keep in mind you cant do quest stuff as scav

[deft raptor]

Im not a beginner, but does somebody have a good blank reserve map for me?

i want to do my own

[carmine creek]

idk, but the wiki one is pretty nice https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/File:3D_Map_by_loweffortsaltbox.png

it has a version that shows only the keys and where they needed

[charred hull]

the map thing i use is mapgennie

[bold kernel]

need 3 for shooter born in heaven cheese

[deft raptor]

dont want to pay 10$

[carmine creek]

do those kills count when you go in a group for every quest that needs pmc kills?

[deft raptor]

no

[fallow spade]

reserve is paid for

[wispy iron]

anyone help with bronze watch quest

[deft raptor]

#pvp-lfg

[fallow spade]

im pretty sure you can ask here

if you are new

[unreal lion]

the plan is to look for a match at the same time not in a group afaik

[hollow minnow]

You can just look em up online for free?

People pay to look at a map?

[carmine creek]

oh so just streamsnipe each other

[unreal lion]

yea

honestly ill do that when i get to the quest

took ages last time

[bold kernel]

?

[fallow spade]

for map genie its more detailed i think

[deft raptor]

yes

[fallow spade]

its the only paid one though

[hollow minnow]

Cringe

Just go offline mode and learn it?

[unreal lion]

let people do wtf they want lol

[carmine creek]

i didnt know if you grouped up with someone and went in, if a person had a pmc kill quest and killed a person who they went in with a group ould count towards the quest

[hollow minnow]

Sorry I want people to save money on a worthless product when they could learn the map for free

[fallow spade]

its not worthless

[unreal lion]

im sure theyre very well aware and still decided to pay

its their deal so leave them

[carmine creek]

what if those people dont see that as a "waste" ? ever tought about that

[bold kernel]

nah you just lobby snipe and find others in the lobby its super easy

[hollow minnow]

Because it is a waste

[carmine creek]

for you

[hollow minnow]

And for others

[fallow spade]

some people want it

its not an option for just you

[carmine creek]

buying tarkov is a waste when you can visit russia irl

[hollow minnow]

I never said it was

[fallow spade]

yeah

[hollow minnow]

Theres no reason to pay

[fallow spade]

some people take the option because they want a good map

[west plover]

Why is the PMC/Scav extract text green for me at interchange?

[hollow minnow]

0 dolla

[carmine creek]

someone is there atm

[fallow spade]

i think because someone took it

[hollow minnow]

Good map

[fallow spade]

ok

some people dont want that map

[hollow minnow]

I guess not

[dawn geyser]

The option to hide/unhide caches, jackets specifically to what you want is nice.

[velvet blade]

woho level 8 babe, let's go I'm a pro player now (Kappa)

[dawn geyser]

A PNG is unable to do that.

[carmine creek]

yeah but you cant zoom in, cant turn off the markers, cant see what the extractions need, cant see cache spots, those are things people want

[graceful mango]

hi i just got the game

[unreal lion]

LOLOL

[dawn geyser]

Welcome! Prepare your butthole

[dreamy turtle]

good luck

[carmine creek]

welcome, dieing just means you get to use a new gun

[graceful mango]

ivw gotten pounded the first few games

[carmine creek]

everyone did

[dawn geyser]

Get ready for more

[graceful mango]

i have no clue how to start

im so focuked

[dawn geyser]

You'll want to focus on the tasks to get your traders up

[carmine creek]

accept quests from traders (tasks) and dont be afraid to google

[unreal lion]

whats the best way to increase scav karma

[dawn geyser]

If you're lacking an objective

[unreal lion]

i keep accidently losing karma

[fallow spade]

i recommend picking where you want to go get a map go offline and learn it with scavs on to test the guns too (offline you wont lose or gain anything)

[carmine creek]

dont ever shoot scavs as a scav is a pretty nice way, also doing pmc/scav extracts give rep, and helping bosseS?

[graceful mango]

im trying to accept the quests but it doesnt give me any prompts

[dawn geyser]

Run all the money extracts on Interchange/Woods/Customs 5 times each They give a lot for the first and slowly give less the more you use them (Be careful not to lose your Karma after that - it's a one time thing)

[upbeat kindle]

how many mags do you guys usually bring to a pistol run ?

[fallow spade]

killing pmcs as a scav and car extracts also raise

[dawn geyser]

Only shoot back after you've been shot (Unfortunately)

[fallow spade]

2 extra

[dawn geyser]

3?

[fallow spade]

is what i do

[carmine creek]

are you sure its a quest you can accept? example i can see that quest but cant accept

[unreal lion]

yeah i lost karma twice because a player scav was definitely out to kill me but didnt hit and i killed him first

its so annoying

[dawn geyser]

Yeah you get punished for them having bad aim

LMAO

[carmine creek]

one if the runs sole purpose is loot, 2 if i actually want to shoot plus rounds in my container

[unreal lion]

can i do them as pmc or oonly as scav?

[velvet blade]

I think in these situations you just sprint around until they get 1 hit then unleash your wrath

[dawn geyser]

PMC only for the car extracts on those maps

[upbeat kindle]

alright

[graceful mango]

pretty sure, mine doesnt have requirements up

[dawn geyser]

Scav+PMC extracts [eg. Factory gate in woods] work as both

[unreal lion]

ahh nice ill go ahead and do that then

[carmine creek]

just send a screenshot here, that helps a lot

[unreal lion]

i read they give reduced after a few times but whats the max i should do them?

5 like u said?

[velvet blade]

make sure to fire gunshots with terminator theme to lure player scavs XD

[graceful mango]

what buttons?

[velvet blade]

CTRL V

[dawn geyser]

Yes 5 each - I don't remember the exact values, but it's like .35 first time, .25 second, .10 third,

Something like that

[unreal lion]

i see thanks

[dawn geyser]

Then you get 0.01 each time

[graceful mango]

to take one

[dawn geyser]

Ballpark numbers I don't know exact values

[fallow spade]

if you car extract on a map i know you get less scav karma the next time but if you switch maps will you still get less scav karma?

[carmine creek]

on windows you can press windows button+shfit+s? to send a cropped image or print screen then ctrl+v in the chat here to send the pic @graceful mango

[dawn geyser]

No each map has its own ticker for you

[fallow spade]

ok nice

[graceful mango]

ill try

[velvet blade]

why does nobody ever go to crackhouse in night raids? I went there twice and nobody came near me

[spare void]

Besides the vehicle extract, are there any ways for scavs to get karma without killin?

[velvet blade]

free cabinet loot for me

[fallow spade]

pmc/scav extracts

[dawn geyser]

Night time raid are just a little less eventful in general

[carmine creek]

also i think f12 takes an in game screenshot that can be found in the games screenshot folder but i dont really use that

[dawn geyser]

That's why Pestily recommends questing at night

[velvet blade]

I was actually doing quests lmao

[carmine creek]

its less eventful but its so much more scarier

[graceful mango]

my windows shift s just swaps windows when i try and snip

[velvet blade]

not if you have gaming mode in your monitor

[carmine creek]

maybe casuse you are in full screen?

[graceful mango]

fullscreen windows work?

[sick sky]

im in a raid but would love if someone could call and help walk me through it

[velvet blade]

it just worked normally with borderless, snips

[velvet blade]

which map?

[sick sky]

customs

[carmine creek]

in borderless window it works for me, but print screen (above home/insert) takes a capture of your whole scfreen

[velvet blade]

sure I can if no one else better qualified is available

[steel cape]

i like the concept of scav karma

but i think its very poorly implemented

the system need a lot of work

[dawn geyser]

^

[carmine creek]

just click accept therE?

[steel cape]

i am quite often not shooting ppl cause i cant tell if its scav or pmc

and then i die because im hestitating

very annoying

[graceful mango]

doesnt work?

[carmine creek]

no idea

[graceful mango]

is the game glitchhed?

[carmine creek]

just try a restart maybe something is up

[crisp nest]

idk what to say but just click it, if u cant, try restarting your game

[graceful mango]

ok

[dawn geyser]

They need to make the punishment for killing player scavs much more harsh

[graceful mango]

glad im not just stupid

[dawn geyser]

You can't hit the giant accept button at the top?

[carmine creek]

things happen, i had a bug where my hideout upgrade was ready and th button to install it didnt pop up

[crisp nest]

that happens quite often

[dawn geyser]

Yeah when upgrades/crafts finish sometimes you ahve to rest

[crisp nest]

almost like a feature lol

[graceful mango]

i restarted

it works now

[dawn geyser]

Interesting

[carmine creek]

first time it happened in my 22 levels lol

[dawn geyser]

Consider yourself lucky

[graceful mango]

so for killing scavs quest should igo as a scav

[carmine creek]

once*

[carmine creek]

you cant do quests as a scav

[dawn geyser]

The only quests you are able to complete are find FIR items

as a scav I mean

[carmine creek]

fir means found in raid, the little tick at the bottom of the items icon

[dawn geyser]

Excluding clientside related quest items [Things like the bronze pocketwatch, document files]

[graceful mango]

so i can do the salewa quest

[dawn geyser]

Yes correct.

[carmine creek]

yes you can go find the item as a scav survive and turn it in, but the killing stuff and finding very specific quest only items? (note sure) are not possibel as a scav

[graceful mango]

ok

thanks

im fresh to the game

[carmine creek]

np

thats what this channel is for 😄

[elfin pendant]

why is the UVSR Taiga-1 so expensive? It's not required for any quests right?

[limber scaffold]

im sad as hell just found a blue labs card and died seconds from extract its not found in raid anymore 😦

[dreamy turtle]

its cool

[unreal horizon]

rarity

[graceful mango]

any tips for finding salewa?

[unreal horizon]

it's a super rare drop from sanitar and cultists

[carmine creek]

no but it seems super rare

[kind topaz]

petty do you know what crackhouse is

[graceful mango]

no

[carmine creek]

he literally just started the game

[unreal horizon]

medical camp on woods, or crackhouse on customs are both safe bets to find it

[kind topaz]

it is a very good spawn for salewas on customs

[carmine creek]

you can use this map to try and find your way https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs

[kind topaz]

i can send you a mao

p

[crisp nest]

very rare

its a huge flex

it also 1 shots

[elfin pendant]

1 hit 1 shots?

[carmine creek]

does the KATT melee have any use other than it being cool looking?

[unreal horizon]

it was cool

[meager inlet]

I have a labs access card, know the map layout from pre-wipe. I just don’t know where I would find raiders without glukhar spawns in labs now.

[unreal horizon]

they ruined black though

you can shoot through the fucking windows now it's so dumb

[dawn geyser]

You got it

[crisp nest]

if u hit the head

[crisp nest]

WHAT ASFSDGSDGDFG

[carmine creek]

it just looks cool?

[unreal horizon]

they had no reason to do that i'm sad

[sudden burrow]

I've bought everything it told me to on the wiki for gunsmith pt4. Any reason why the recoil and ergonomics are off?

[dawn geyser]

It's just a starter hatchet yeah

[unreal horizon]

those windows made fighting in black something special and fun

[carmine creek]

okey, ty

[dawn geyser]

Old gunsmith properties I believe

[hearty blaze]

hey i need help with the fuel matter task on reserve. i dont know my way around so i need someone who does and who knows where the tankers are. im level 17, 19yo NA this is my first wipe

[sudden burrow]

😭

[carmine creek]

i can help guide you if you can screenshare, idk how bad it would be to play on eu for ya

[hearty blaze]

@carmine creek that works if youre good with it?

[dawn geyser]

If you screenshot and post here we'll tell you where you are if you want

[dark furnace]

Hi everyone, it seems that the first skier quest isn't working for me... I have a Press armour vest, 49.1 durability, and i can't turn it in

[tall adder]

i need someone to take me to 303 with key for golden zibbo

[dawn geyser]

It need module 3m body armor & a toz shotgun

[dark furnace]

oh okay

thanks!

[dawn geyser]

Naw it's just not very specific in the actual quest objectives

Np gl!

[drifting barn]

who got woods zb014 key

[dreamy turtle]

yea whats up

[drifting barn]

need to find 3 60 round ak mags

for quest

[dawn geyser]

The spawn rate has gone down the drain in 014

[drifting barn]

ugh

[dawn geyser]

I would recommend you try reserve raiders, or craft it in your hideout

[cold lotus]

So i'm lvl 10 and the gear i have isnt optimal. I keep running into decked out mfs That 1/2shot me while i need put half a mag in them. Is this normal?

[pastel shale]

looking for a expereienced tarkov player to help a newbie like me to do some quests, hmu if interested, would appriciate it.

[dawn geyser]

What guns are you running?

[neon willow]

Anybody need help just dm me

That quest changes watch a new youtube video

[bold kernel]

.need 3 for shooter born in heaven cheese

[unreal horizon]

lmao

just snipe ezpz

[dawn geyser]

lol cheesing quests

[rough scarab]

skill issue

[unreal horizon]

CRINGE

[rough scarab]

down horrendous

[dawn geyser]

not only that but advertising it in official tarkov chat

[eager pulsar]

why would you cheese quests especially when kappa is dead

[dawn geyser]

[unreal horizon]

I mean you have until lvl 71 to get it done

[dawn geyser]

I've never hit 60 in a wipe

[dawn geyser]

Kappa is Kappa.

[neon willow]

Solo all my quest I don't get over lvl 40 tho

[dawn geyser]

If that's what you're running it may just be an issue of recoil control/aim

Being brutally honest

7.62x39 packs a punch no matter what ammo you're using

[unreal horizon]

I don't know if 71 will change, but i'm sure there will be events and shit this wipe to make it easier

[dawn geyser]

If you thorax x2 it generally will kill the enemy

[unreal horizon]

like I think even small events, like the goshan restock, are super cool for the game

[cold lotus]

Even when they're wearing armor? Cuz i rarely run into someone wearing class 2 or lower

[unreal horizon]

it pens class 3

which is most helmets rn

[dawn geyser]

Class 4+ is when you might start to run into troubles

But 7.62 x 39 shreds it pretty quickly

PS I mean

[eager pulsar]

is it confirmed that goshan restock is an intended event?

[unreal horizon]

don't think so

[eager pulsar]

I hope so

[unreal horizon]

^

[cold lotus]

ohh alright. Will try some more offline to get feeling for aim

[dawn geyser]

Goshan Restock?

What's that

[eager pulsar]

shit ton of food in the back right of the store

[unreal horizon]

but also other loot spawns have been absolutely juiced like lockers

[eager pulsar]

back left*

[dawn geyser]

Interesting

[dire eagle]

Its most certainly intended, don't know about the event part. Would be pretty hard to accidentally create a loot table like that in a very specific area, that also happens to match the area in terms of what loot spawns

[unreal horizon]

this food is about 1 minute of looting

[eager pulsar]

lockers have been drained clean every time I scav interchange, must be a popular spot

[dawn geyser]

lmao w h a t

[eager pulsar]

oh yeah and you can easily get like a full berkut of food

[unreal horizon]

literally everywhere

[dire eagle]

You can get double that easily

[dawn geyser]

That's right now or was last patch?

[eager pulsar]

now

[unreal horizon]

i've seen pics of people filling pilgrims with food

[dawn geyser]

Oh really.

That explains the lower food costs right now

[rough scarab]

is the night vision monocle worth running

[eager pulsar]

it's a shame it's only the canned foods

[dire eagle]

Check the lockers right outside of Goshan for free gold chains and rolers(?) (Rolers are probably lower chance tho)

[unreal horizon]

yeah

great if you need your 15 beef though

[dawn geyser]

Better than nothing!

[rough scarab]

i have 1/3 of the beef for therapist from just playing

[eager pulsar]

Bitcoins too I think?

[unreal horizon]

delet this

right now

[eager pulsar]

[dire eagle]

Probably, yeah. Those spawns have always been there, just jacked up a bit for this patch

[slow night]

no imo, get the good one or stick to flashlights i fucking hate that thing

[rough scarab]

they should jack up quest key spawns

[unreal horizon]

disagree tbh

with all the barters, who cares

[eager pulsar]

honestly I think the lockers are popular already

[dire eagle]

Quest keys aren't difficult to come by if you do a decent amount of jacket runs

[bold kernel]

need 3 for shooter born in heaven cheese

[eager pulsar]

it's about time goshan was even worth entering

[bold kernel]

anyone wanna run interchange with me and do tasks

[slow night]

tell that to oli logistics department key, i farmed dorms jackets a lot and i’m level 25

[dreamy turtle]

literally why

[bold kernel]

anyone wanna farm money and tasks with mme

[unreal horizon]

sbih is so much fun idk why you'd like to cheese it

probably my favorite quest

[dreamy turtle]

true

especially reserve

[bold kernel]

i refuse to help anyone ever cheese that, tarkov is suffering, get some patience and earn that quest completion, bet you are the kind of person to whine about there being nothing to do in a few weeks.

[dreamy turtle]

i love reserve sniping

[unreal horizon]

granted i just love sniping

I use the AGS for my reserve kills lol

counts are headshots 90% of the time

[modest granite]

Does anyone wanna do woods quests with me? I just cannot get to Jaegers hut without dying xD

[upbeat kindle]

should i sell dogtags early on ?

[dire eagle]

I mean, at a certain point you just buy the last few keys you need of the flea, right? Granted its pricey, but there shouldn't be that many keys you end up missing for quests?

[bold kernel]

100 of them is a lucky scav junkbox keep them, some are needed for quests too

[upbeat kindle]

ight

[unreal horizon]

keep 7 bear and 7 usec

do whatever you want with the rest

[bold kernel]

buy it Lol

[slow night]

yeah i was just busy with other quests and kind of forgot about it, mostly the fucking flashdrive quest but i’m already constructing intel center lvl 2 so now that quest can suck my cock

[bold kernel]

Tarkov be fun

[dire eagle]

Filing cabinets baybee. I consistantly farm them until I get my flash drives, but yeah, those drives are a pain sometimes

[rose rock]

They also spawn intel now

Got two of those from filing cabinets

[dire eagle]

Da heck?

[rose rock]

Ikr

[olive turret]

i went to oli logistics 15 raids

it wasnt opened for all raid

the moment i buy the key

its open 5 mins into the raid

[slow night]

lol

[eager pulsar]

LOL

[dire eagle]

Nikita himself made sure to open it for you ;)

[eager pulsar]

tarkov baby

[olive turret]

i dont mind it though

[neon willow]

@unreal horizon what lvl u this wipe

[upbeat kindle]

idk if i should finish "checking" quest doing a pistol run, or just bring in gear i got. the problem is i'm afraid to lose it even tho its trash lol

[olive turret]

i got to help meev with the quest which was chill

[unreal horizon]

Like 13? I'm having fun in other games and haven't done any quests yet

[cosmic tinsel]

it was super chill

worldstar da bess

[rose rock]

Honestly bring whatever youre comfortable with, been running vepr hunter lately and thats how i did 90% of my quests

[upbeat kindle]

think imma get an sks or something

[delicate sapphire]

hi, i was wondering if i could get some help with learning the maps preferably woods, and customs

[dire eagle]

Overcoming gearfear is a hill to climb, but once its climbed, oh does it feel good

[dreamy turtle]

literally just use it

[upbeat kindle]

i'm scared bcs i brought some "decent" gear, spawned in and died after 5 seconds lmao. but honestly i think imma just go with what i got

[velvet blade]

what's the difference between slug and buckshots?

[fallow spade]

slug doesnt split and goes arther buck shot doesnt have too much range and spilts

idk how to explain it well

[unreal lion]

slug is a singular bullet with more penetration

[dire eagle]

Slug is basically like a bullet, buck is like a "traditional" shotgun.

[weak kraken]

Need someone with west306, OLI Manifest key and reserve quest keys.

[velvet blade]

for buckshots, is the amount of splitting the same as fragmentation?

if so, someone told me that anything below 20 penetration doesn't fragment

[unreal horizon]

Buckshot is a bunch (usually 8) of little metal balls, slugs are more like a bullet

[neon willow]

Nice Mike do you usually get kappa or not that sweaty

[unreal horizon]

No I just do enough quests for max traders

[dire eagle]

Buckshots don't fragment

[neon willow]

Same in just getting into quest I feel like I'm peaking Lul

Hitting my limit I'm at punisher and shooter

[unreal horizon]

This wipe I planned on going for kappa, but lvl 71 put a swift end to that

[dire eagle]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics You can get all the juicy deets on bullets and their properties here

[neon willow]

Hope they fix 71 or give you more exp

[unreal horizon]

I mean they're not stupid, I'm just waiting to see what they have planned

[neon willow]

Kills give 5k exp or 10k then yeh

[unreal horizon]

After the cool events with pre wipe, and the goshan shit, I'm pretty excited for the future

[orchid igloo]

What food and/or drink is worth your money? Going on a long loot haul for money so what's cheap but useful?

[neon willow]

Yeh imma love the game regardless whatever wrench they throw at me

[unreal horizon]

100%

[neon willow]

Is quite painful tho cough

Basic lunch box and water or juice and imo the short runs are better unless your going for quest

@orchid igloo

[orchid igloo]

Yea.

[olive turret]

i achieved kappa all 3 wipes i played

1st was rough

2nd was hard

[dire eagle]

Pick scav, go interchange, go to goshun and slurp up all of the food into your person... ???? Profit

[olive turret]

3rd was easy

[neon willow]

You stay later player scabs spawn in it's aids

[orchid igloo]

Im staying for as long as possible to kill as many people for loot.

[olive turret]

this one is impossible

[ocean granite]

does someone want to do, or help me do "farming part 1" with me?

[neon willow]

Goodluck

[olive turret]

aquamari and mre/iskra

[orchid igloo]

Lel

[fair lake]

If you have a backpack insured, you will get back the things that were in the backpack ?????

[orchid igloo]

Ture though.

[olive turret]

no

only what was insured

[dire eagle]

Nope, only insured items

[fair lake]

fuck

[olive turret]

otherwise people would have multiple bags

then loot

and ditch bags

[orchid igloo]

Thx.

[fair lake]

yeah true

[neon willow]

You just insured the bag not the gear?

[warm shadow]

Why IFAK dont heal heavy bleeding in description it says It can I died now wf

[dire eagle]

It needs 210 durability

[olive turret]

not enough heals in it

[neon willow]

Yeh

[olive turret]

210/300 for heavy bleed

[orchid igloo]

Is it worth ensuring your killa armor?

[neon willow]

Need a esmarch or hemo with u too

[dire eagle]

Always bring a cheap esmarch/CAT/Hemostat (:

[warm shadow]

guys btw what is the tactic in factory I am keep dying and dying

[olive turret]

unless you need to go to factory dont

[orchid igloo]

Bring your med case.
???
Profit.

[olive turret]

chads be roaming there, tagilla, and vicious pistolings

[warm shadow]

like go factory when have mission

I want to do run

[olive turret]

go night with flashlight, queue up with 5 people

[warm shadow]

I am keeping dying

[dire eagle]

[neon willow]

Yeh same I hate factory is alot of fights tho

[olive turret]

if you queue with 4 others there should only be 1 pmc on the map

if others have the quest or a quest it should make it easier for everyone

[warm shadow]

another question I have 3 diary should I sell 2 of them or none

[orchid igloo]

Thanks for the 300IQ. XD.

[neon willow]

Cheese cough

Solo it like a man

[rose rock]

Leg meta him like a man

[orchid igloo]

Squad is ez dubs.

Playing with 3 buddies is amazing.

[neon willow]

I'm jk hell yeh do whatever to get quest done

[worn herald]

[olive turret]

[orchid igloo]

Wtf is an IFGs?

[olive turret]

[dire eagle]

[olive turret]

#pvp-lfg

[orchid igloo]

[olive turret]

#lfg-info

[warm shadow]

Why sell all

[worn herald]

[neon willow]

Looking for group scroll down in this discord

[orchid igloo]

Lel

[olive turret]

need 2 for barter and 2 slim and its good to get money req for pk

[warm shadow]

Who should I sell to

[olive turret]

pk

[dire eagle]

Pk = Peacekeeper :)

[orchid igloo]

Is teh lvl 5 plate carrier better than the killa armor? The plate carrier is better at damage protection but only protects the thorax. Little puzzled here.

[cold lotus]

I had to hit 1 guy 12 times to kill him with 7.62x39 PS gzh

[dreamy turtle]

depends on map imo

on factory i think killa is better

but outside of factory i like the aacpc

[orchid igloo]

Closed spaces means shotys.

Don't need to aim.

Yea

[fallow spade]

and if someone’s running a good shell to body you would be screwed

[dire eagle]

He probably had high tier armor, this combined with arm/leg/stomach hits can make someone feel bulletspongey

[orchid igloo]

Is it also worth ensuring killa armor?

[unreal horizon]

if you're solo, probably not

[cold lotus]

Ohh okee. Yeah his armor was 0 afterwards so that must have taken a while

[dire eagle]

What armor was it?

[dawn geyser]

I personally insure everything

[orchid igloo]

Even your food?

[dawn geyser]

Gearwise lol

If they kill you and zero your armor

[orchid igloo]

Joke

[cold lotus]

It said rank 4

[dawn geyser]

A chance they won't take it

[dire eagle]

Then that makes sense. PS is decent with class 4, but it will take a few hits before it gets through, as you experienced (:

[dawn geyser]

Takes up space in backpack, not an armored rig so they can't take other valueble items, heavy some people might not want to - a plethora of reasons

[unreal horizon]

frauding is great too

[dawn geyser]

Ah yes

Frauding

After a fight, it gets low dura

[unreal horizon]

i'm almost certain it's better to insure, im just lazy lol

[dawn geyser]

People have their preferences

[dire eagle]

Insure killa armor, go interchange, kill killa, hide your armor, take his - 5 easy steps to duplicate your armor

[dawn geyser]

Assuming killing Killa is easy

[unreal horizon]

i'd be curious to see how much of my uninsured gear is actually left though

def more than i think

[dawn geyser]

I've been killed by a 3 man whiel wearing T-7's and they came back

You'de be surprised

[dire eagle]

Actually, get scav rep 6, don't insure your gear, buy it back from fence. Now that is the big brain play here

[dawn geyser]

lol

I wonder if rep6 it's still Fence prices

[unreal horizon]

you forgot "for 3x the price"

[dire eagle]

true

[steel cape]

ive just found a tank battery, should i panick and get the hell out with it asap or is it not worth?

[dreamy turtle]

its only 700k

how much is that to you

[steel cape]

lots

[dreamy turtle]

then get out

[dawn geyser]

man said only

[steel cape]

i dont know where extracts are lol

[bold kernel]

my rep with fence is very low due to me being new to the game and not understanding that killing scavs as a scav decreases his rep. I got the game 4 days ago is his rep important like the other ones he hasn't given me a task yet.

[dire eagle]

1 is needed for a quest, and it can be broken down into 5 car bats, so its a pretty nice find

[steel cape]

bunker hermetic door and d-2

no idea where either is

[dawn geyser]

No not game breaking - He gives no tasks.

[Aside from Kappa at level 71]

[dreamy turtle]

d2 is button in basement

bunker door needs the alarm to be on

and its in the back of the half circles behind the K buildings

good luck

[dawn geyser]

It will however affect your scav loadout, prices on car extractions on Woods/Interchange/Customs, extract options on your scav

[ashen basin]

what the fuck

did i just

walk in on

[bold kernel]

alr also me and my friend have been stuck in this loop where I have to do custom runs only because I dont know andy other map other than factory and custom. what map should I go to next for better loot?

[velvet blade]

a cow poop?

[bold kernel]

I dont wanna go into a complex map not knowing what im doing

[dawn geyser]

Interchange is good for loot right now from what i'm told

[ashen basin]

kpop stan

[dreamy turtle]

so many

killa farmers

[bold kernel]

ok

[ashen basin]

I will doorcamp you

[dire eagle]

[bold kernel]

damn

[south epoch]

best map?

[steel cape]

when does train arrive?

[bold kernel]

I get extract camped constantly on custom

[ashen basin]

random times

it may come

it may not

[dawn geyser]

Generally last 15 minutes

[steel cape]

dang ok

[ashen basin]

dont listen to me im disabled

[dawn geyser]

I almost never run into extract campers on Customs

[unreal horizon]

you're catching bad timings

[bold kernel]

when I go to smugglers boat there is a person on the bridge a lot of the time

[unreal horizon]

as somebody who camps all the time, i've never camped customs

[bold kernel]

and it sucks because that is one of the extractions I remember best

[unreal horizon]

its just not smart, too many exits for people to leave

[ashen basin]

never talk shit on me again

[glacial orbit]

I just got GPNVG-18 nightvision goggles from a raid. I was wondering if there are any helmets that i can use with it? Or what do i need to assemble and use it? Keep in mind im only level 11 with level 1 traders.

[dreamy turtle]

who tf camps on the bridge

[ashen basin]

exfil camper

[foggy stratus]

shooter born

[unreal horizon]

there's a nasty angle from the bus lol

[foggy stratus]

if u get the right angle it can be camped for shooter born

[dreamy turtle]

any helmet with a mount for it

cheapest one is prob like lzsh

[bold kernel]

idk maybe they just happen to see me while passing bye just my experience with that

[dreamy turtle]

alright teach me how to camp on shoreline

[inner mountain]

just camp weather station

[bold kernel]

idk any tatics or camp spots with tarkov

[inner mountain]

@dreamy turtle

[unreal horizon]

shoreline is my fav map

so many long angles

[leaden falcon]

Anyone know how to get out here? woods map

[dreamy turtle]

alright hop in a call w me rn and tell me where to go

[leaden falcon]

or even where i am?

[unreal horizon]

zb14 key

[dawn geyser]

You need a key assuming that's ZB-014

[dreamy turtle]

i need scav vest kills

[foggy stratus]

need ZB-014 key @leaden falcon

[bold kernel]

and I want bigger team but I feel like I will just get back stabbed by them

[dreamy turtle]

or just tell me

[dawn geyser]

You're on the South West side of the map

[leaden falcon]

when i leave the bunker which way do i go to outskirts? i have no compass

[unreal horizon]

im finding screenshots 1 sec

[dreamy turtle]

turn right

[arctic crown]

is the new mission Safe Corridor available only after giving Skier the stuff in chemical 4 or the wiki is not yet up to date?

[dawn geyser]

When you exit ZB-014, there will be a wall to your left

Follow the wall with the wall being on your right

Then head straight

You will see a pickup truck to your 10 oclock position as you keep heading that direction

Head over to the left of it

[unreal horizon]

@dreamy turtle i purged a bunch of screenshots, gonna take like 10 mins in offline mode and make some good drawings explaining stuff

some of them are sorta hard to reach

[dreamy turtle]

wtf you have this down to a science

[leaden falcon]

you guys are legends, had no idea where i was going and wandered for like 30 mins to extract with jaegers note thing

[dreamy turtle]

i spawned road to customs

where do i go

[dawn geyser]

Did you figure it out?

[leaden falcon]

yep

thanks for the help

[dawn geyser]

Awesome

[unreal horizon]

head up towards rock passage and see if it's open

[spiral vale]

anyone wanna group up im brand new and dont know shit

ha

[floral hill]

I need help getting jaeger on woods i dont feel confident enough to go in by myself yet

[spiral vale]

i can be a bullit sponge for ya

[floral hill]

[leaden falcon]

[floral hill]

[spiral vale]

[floral hill]

pretty sure it's a permenant thing

[gritty wing]

nope, same with melee weapon and armband

[leaden falcon]

ok nice thanks

[gritty wing]

don't need to insure them either

[leaden falcon]

anyone know any fast way to get some fuel for the generator ?

[floral hill]

you get some at the start of wipe its 60 how did you use it already

[leaden falcon]

i think i sold it like a dunce

[floral hill]

nvm dumb question im way far behind compared too you

[dawn geyser]

Oh no

goodbye fuel

[leaden falcon]

damn i fucked up haha

[gritty wing]

head to Oli on Interchange. may need to go in as a PMC though, if you scav it will most likely be picked up already.

[leaden falcon]

👍

[floral hill]

anyone know woods thats tryna get jaeger with me

and can it be done as a scav

[gritty wing]

no quests can be done as a scav other than the items you extract with.

[floral hill]

oh ok so can you help me as a pmc?

[gritty wing]

i'm at work but i'm sure someone can. check out #sherpa-info and #pvp-lfg

[steel cape]

so .. weird round. i killed 5 what i think are all player scavs, they move like player.. and then i get killed by the 6th one who was shooting me with a pistol that caused me to explode

so thats pretty interesting.

[hollow minnow]

explode?

[steel cape]

apparently

there was a huge explotion sound on me when i died

and i was wearing headset so definitely not a grenade landed on me

[hollow minnow]

could of just been someone that threw a nade next to your body

[steel cape]

nope its the explosion that killed me i think

[dawn geyser]

If it was a scav guard or raider, they arc renades

[hollow minnow]

did it say grenade was the cause?

[dawn geyser]

Some of the times they airburst

lol

[hollow minnow]

it tells you in the heal screen

[steel cape]

no it said he shot me in thorax

with pistol

[hollow minnow]

dude they gotta be in the nba with the way they throw that shit

[steel cape]

i was wearing big armor

[dreamy turtle]

well i didnt go rock but i got a guy

wasnt 100 tho sad

[steel cape]

wait i will send u a clip of it

and u can explain to me

[hollow minnow]

alr

if it says he shot you in the chest with big armor it couldve been a ap round

[olive turret]

do you have the correct foregrip

[leaden falcon]

yeah thats what it was

my bad

[hollow minnow]

you may need a rail

ah

[steel cape]

so look

https://streamable.com/7q8gze

Son

Mounted GL

[steel cape]

[steel cape]

[dawn geyser]

Absolutely not a pistol

[dreamy turtle]

LOL AGS KEKW

[hollow minnow]

lmao

[dawn geyser]

If that's a pistol i'm Obama

[neon willow]

That's wtf I'm talking about

[dawn geyser]

I know that sound

Anyone that plays reserve knows that sound

[steel cape]

well thats fucking lame

[dawn geyser]

Unforunate that it landed on you first

Good aim by that guy though

It's not easy to aim

[steel cape]

that stm-9 did me well, i survived 7 raids with it, made 8 pmc kills and quest for 25 scav kill on custom with it

[dawn geyser]

Nice~!

[normal plover]

i got a M4 modded to the needed requirements but it wont let me turn it in?

[steel cape]

just to get killed by GRENADE LAUNCHER WHAT thats so dumb why is that even in the game

[dreamy turtle]

there you go

[hollow minnow]

durability?

[tardy parrot]

is there any other way i can get tarkov when i went to try and buy i the first time my pops card got shut down and now he wont let me get it

[normal plover]

[blissful lodge]

what's the best gun setup for a total beginner (lvl 5)..I just want a gun with a sight

[burnt ginkgo]

mp5k from peacekeeper

[dreamy turtle]

sks with dovetail

oh

[olive turret]

recoil sum

[gloomy edge]

been trying to get flash drives all day no luck, been running shoreline safes and cabinets, anyone got good spots?

[olive turret]

its more than 250

[hollow minnow]

might of put the wrong monster silencer on

[burnt ginkgo]

sks is good for long range maps. mp5 for up close

[gritty wing]

van on customs with 2 pc's in the back of it, near green screen room building. green screen room also worth checking.

[olive turret]

recoil is at 293 reduce it

[normal plover]

are vert and horizontal combined in it ?

[blissful lodge]

where do i get the sight for the mp5?

[olive turret]

yes that is what recoil sum means

[ashen basin]

why did i just spawn on a 5 man?
