go to the trader you have the quest on

bold kernel
#

i gave it to therapist for the medcase

sharp flicker
#

dont you have to pay a million to skier for his rep back tho

tranquil shore
#

Is it worth getting violet keycard instead of ultra med?

I have a guy who wanna trade it, and thinking of price it seems like a good deal.

tranquil shore
#

You can buy a med case for 400k on Flea.

weak kraken
#

You get a medcase for different quest

proven saddle
#

400k isnt much

hot tree
proven saddle
#

its like 2 scav runs

weak kraken
#

1mil isnt much either its like 2 scav runs if you know where to look

proven saddle
#

eh depends how late you spawn

weak kraken
#

true

proven saddle
#

but making 200k a run is easy

#

Probabaly gonna "trade" then tk u lol

tranquil shore
#

Bro. I know the risk of being scammed.

But there is a risk of not being scammed, and getting the items i wanted.

The question is: Is it worth getting Violet, instead of Ultra Med (if im trying to do Money Runs on labs.)

rigid adder
#

Yes its worth in terms of what room is better for loot

clear garnet
#

Ultra med can be used multiple times right?

hot tree
#

yea

#

Violet aswell

clear garnet
#

Whereas violet keycards is only once

hot tree
#

no

clear garnet
#

Oh really?

hot tree
#

the only one time use is the labs acces keycard

#

to get in

#

and few interchange keycards that has like 15 uses

clear garnet
#

So like red keycard is infinite?

hot tree
#

yea

clear garnet
#

Oh

#

No wonder its super expensive then

#

Thx for the info

tranquil shore
tranquil shore
clear garnet
#

For sure ^

#

I would probabaly sell it for 20 Mil tbh

#

Cause like wtf man its not that rare

tranquil shore
#

"Not that rare"

clear garnet
#

1/20 chance if u look at the best spawn location for it at shoreline resort

tranquil shore
#

Bro?

tranquil shore
#

Pls

clear garnet
#

Its based of my experience

tranquil shore
#

Damn.

clear garnet
#

But idk maybe saying it not that rare is a understatement

tranquil shore
#

You're a lucky man if you find a red keycard every 20 raid.

#

Ngl

clear garnet
#

Yeah

#

But i did get a red keycard last wipe on the 20th shoreline

#

Died tho KEKW

tranquil shore
#

Damn. That sucks.

#

I really don't think im gonna hit my goal of getting every labs keycard this wipe lmao

#

I'm too bad at spending my money, for me ever getting 50 mil. Lol

#

Just spending everything on gear.

clear garnet
#

Tbh buying off flea isnt a fun way to play the game

#

I mean sure u can buy items from flea like meds/normal keys

#

But buying labs key (coloured not access one) is kinda boring

hey, new player here. im not sure what to bring into a raid as of my loadouts on my pmc, i have been winging it. also confused how to do the quest for traders

does the standard sks have recoil or am I just dog shit? landing follow up shots while emptying a mag is challenging

rigid adder
#

all guns have recoil?

paper gull
rigid adder

oh no mag dumping with the SKS can be rough af, slow your shots down a tiny bit it might help a lot

paper gull

against pmc I dont feel its an option

#

Whats a readily available option for automatic weapons?

but if you're using those, use a better gun than pp 19

desert stratus
#

i have 150 6.3 ammo

bold kernel
elfin elm
#

using a 12k ruble gun with bullets that are 1k per round doesn't add up well

versed vigil
#

Been doing some research about how likely it is to die as I did yesterday several times in a row, and found out it's nowhere near normal. From streams, both low viewers (unknowns out there) and high trends (Pestily for example) there are some scenarios where they are one-tapped to the head, but while moving it's so much unlikely.

desert stratus
#

I used AP-20 ammo with mp 133 in factory and killed 2 tier 5 armors with 1 shot on the thorax lol

versed vigil
#

Aside from reporting away, is there anything I can do to help myself?

desert stratus
#

But yeah I suppose youre right

kindred shell
versed vigil
#

and please don't meme about wearing altyn everywhere

elfin elm
#

yeah, would have been easier with the 155 or 153, matching good gun with good ammo makes life easier

elfin elm
#

maybe adjust sound and FOV

versed vigil
#

I've also tried to inform myself about that, I've tried customs runs following less-common routes

bold kernel
#

Is going through and examining the shit from the vendors worth the xp

versed vigil
#

if I'm in a room and someone runs down a corridor, they will always prefire my head, doesn't matter where I am. Had times where I got hit in the helmet through a solid wall

#

not a corner, a ful wall

elfin elm
#

so by the time you hear them

versed vigil
#

not about noise

#

let's say we are both silent for 2 minutes

elfin elm
#

they've known you've been there for a minute or too

versed vigil
#

I wait static in my room

#

you sprint down the corridor, do a 90 degree turn and headshot me

elfin elm
#

are you running correct gear for your engagement distances?

versed vigil
#

let me add my first raid from yesterday, I was in customs behind the broken wall near new gas station, someone was running down the middle of the road. I literally didn't move, was there idling while talking to a friend, the dude turned around and headshot me with Kedr or some other Pst ghz 9mm smg

elfin elm

what region are you

what are some items that are easy to get now but will raise in price overtime?

Spain

that you actually need-

elfin elm

um, lets see

#

a lot of keys I think are kinda cheap

serene reef
#

ledxs are going for 420k and gpus for 375k

elfin elm

I've seen gpus at 200 a couple times

#

could probably hoard sugars through alyonka crafts

versed vigil
serene reef
#

yeah what can be the final price of sugars ๐Ÿค”

warm crow
#

I bought the game yesterday and am wondering if someone can teach me the ropes

serene reef
#

i've hoarded like 10 of em

#

last wipe it was 100k

#

alyonkas were 50

versed vigil
#

I would record a raid or 2 to let you see my mistakes perhaps, but I can't really spare resources

elfin elm
#

yeah, atm alyonka is like 12 and sugar 20

serene reef
#

yeah the question is

#

will the actually raise in price?

elfin elm
#

on na servers seems like less cheaters

elfin elm
#

oh, also med piles

grizzled isle
#

how does the weapon durability work

elfin elm
#

likely going to raise

grizzled isle
#

does the gun get damaged when its shot or?

elfin elm
#

more bad parts, damage faster

grizzled isle
#

ight

#

increased jamming or hammer break?

elfin elm
#

50% or worse gets noticable

versed vigil
# elfin elm on na servers seems like less cheaters

I actually found some article talking about russians and east europe playing in west EU servers to take advantage of desync, and Russians being more prone to hacks. Is that true? Do you get an advantage for higher ping?

bold kernel
#

a scav started shooting me but missed i killed him and i lose rep??

I've heard mixed stuff about desync

elfin elm

15% or worse you jam multiple times per extended mag

best offer, take it or leave it

elfin elm

too tired atm

#

k, gonna go sleep

versed vigil
#

it makes sense tthat you lose rep if the other guy didn't hit you first.

#

sucks because he was intentionally expecting to kill you

#

but since you didn't take damage there's nothing to do

nah im not gonna run factory anymore

im convinced he doesnt exist anymore

i think u can find this quite easily from scavs during night raids, they have flash light on the shotgun often so u can just take it off of them

cosmic tinsel

customs, probably. most of the first quests are there

serene reef

in woods you can often avoid conflict and still get loot

customs cause you have quests and you can get loot too, but imo there's less

deft dome
#

anyone want to play with a lonely noob? lol

cosmic tinsel
#

i just let player scavs kill me

versed vigil
#

penalties for killing fellow scavs should be steeper

#

like having low rep with fence should make your scav hostile on sight if you go negative or lower than -1 or something

deft dome
versed vigil
#

and -2 or -3 make all scavs fire at you from further

obsidian dust
versed vigil
#

so people don't go in raid like "oh well let's mop the floor with everyone", because those of us who care about fence rep are going to have to throw it away entirely or else never again find a piece of loot

obsidian dust
#

And you'll get the penalty no matter if it's a NPC or player?

deft dome
versed vigil
#

yeah in theory if a scav has harmed another scav they are considered hostile and killing them grants +0.01

m80 is not a thorax one shotting round unless you fragment

#

in which case many rounds are thorax one shotting rounds

versed vigil
#

how does fragmentation work

dreamy pecan
#

ok

versed vigil
#

it hits several times?

cosmic tinsel
#

crit chance, basically

versed vigil
#

for max dmg?

#

oh

xD

cosmic tinsel
#

hits for i think 50% more

serene reef
#

"crit chance"

#

i love it

versed vigil
#

but

cosmic tinsel
#

and can move to nearby sections of the body

versed vigil
#

fragmenting deals more damage, or the same damage more times?

cosmic tinsel
#

its all written up in the ballistics page but im too smoothbrain to figure it out

versed vigil
#

oh

cosmic tinsel

the same damage more times is more damage imo ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

the more times you die

just spam f1

the less times enemy scavs can spawn ๐Ÿ˜„

thats what i do when i see another scav

versed vigil
#

dude was sniping from range

#

I went up to him and QEQE him

#

back to office room, opened safe

#

dude comes right after me and shoots in the face

#

like literally walking

cosmic tinsel
#

it do happen

lusty pagoda
#

yeah that happened to me when i was looting something

versed vigil
#

that's all I did in 1m27s

lusty pagoda
#

its just the dickheads

versed vigil
#

no

lusty pagoda
#

that wanna kill everything

versed vigil
#

it's not dickheads

#

it's shit mechanics

#

seriously, what do you get for Fence +6

cosmic tinsel
#

dude so many more friendly scav interactions are happening

lusty pagoda
#

alot of good shit

#

like lower car extract prices

cosmic tinsel
#

you get dramatically reduced scav cooldowns, you get faster scav case

lusty pagoda
#

lower crafting times ( i think )

#

^

#

better loadout in scav

versed vigil
#

ah well, I'd rather be a dickhead and extract my scav full every time

cosmic tinsel
#

these people are goofin themselves oer

#

i wouldnt

versed vigil
#

oh wait

#

scav case?

cosmic tinsel
#

i want my scav case running

lusty pagoda
#

@versed vigil at lowest rep ur scav time is 1h30

versed vigil
#

that's... interesting

lusty pagoda
#

for cooldown

cosmic tinsel
#

yeah, these people are goofin themselvs up dude

versed vigil
#

ok ok you just saved me from commiting mass murder

lusty pagoda
#

the only times i lost scav rep really was killing another scav who shot at me but landed no shots

cosmic tinsel
#

the mechanics are fine ๐Ÿ˜‰

lusty pagoda
#

and

cosmic tinsel
#

its just vague enough that people play both sides

lusty pagoda
#

when i first came to this wipe without reading patch notes

cosmic tinsel
#

and it makes things tense

versed vigil
#

a player actually has to kill another scav before they are rogue

#

according to wiki

#

man i suck so bad

#

starting to think about bringing luger on my glock

#

or upgrading to shotty

cosmic tinsel
#

shottygang ๐Ÿ˜„

unreal horizon
#

Luger might be useful due to 6.3 restrictions

#

Still think it's shit thought

versed vigil
#

lowkey not disliking the instadeath thing

#

I get to loot the safe 5 out of 6 raids and the contents offset my stuff

#

last raid I got resort key, raven and diary, made 80k and ~200$

#

if only I could kill a PMC and extract

#

almost managed twice

gotta get 6 for a mission

#

im at -1.71 because im sick of loosing my scav items..... no respite for them now

pure mist
versed vigil
pure mist
#

do slight modding to saiga

#

so you can shoot faster without seeing the roof

bitter crescent
#

You really should run an ak74m, cheapest version you can get. Full auto is a must for this quest

pure mist
versed vigil
#

had rough results with shotty, that's why i was doing glock tho

bitter crescent
#

Peaking corners running and spraying full auto really works everytime for me

pure mist
#

i'd recommend, either rat rig saiga or actually go in geared with full auto

#

like a sub 60s recoil ak or something

bitter crescent
#

Try practicing with singleplayer mode, shoot a dozen scav with hipfire to get used to it

#

Tbh I never run kits worth less than 100k, if I'm broke I will run scav and farm hidden caches

versed vigil
#

that would be something worth considering, I tend to run reserve

#

with scav

#

at least until I learned fence rep was so good

#

now sitting at +0.8

You can look up maps online of hidden stashes on custom

i can buy like 130 stacks of flashbangs from fence sometimes
othertimes he offered car batterys in like a stack of 111 i was like wtf and for a good price like 70k, earlier today fence was selling full metal cans of fuel--115 of them for 65k but I couldnt grab any :(

not sure if everyone sees this or if my 2.6 rep helps

#

Im just telling you what Ive seen with my rep level

pure mist

mine is about all shit

I also have had around 14 labs cards on my scavs since wipe day across several runs

pure mist
#

i only have .8

#

idk how i even got it

again killed by player scav who also happened to be getting shot by scavs

i rarely scav

#

i have like 4 scav raids this wipe

versed vigil

prob that

i think my scav is level 12 lol

Sooo just a generic question.
Basically both me and a friend just loaded into a good ol' PMC run on customs. We spawned on the west end of the bridge so we went over the southmost passage within the next few minutes. Seconds later my friends gets a headshot and my leg blown off.

What did we do wrong? We couldn't see the sniper (nor know he was there, of course), but how could we have avoided the entire situation?

A bit further into the east I got killed later on (~20 mins) by a silenced scav. Of course, being injured I was an easy target, but since I was sticking to the edge of the map I'm still quite surprised to where the shot came from. Once again: Any idea on how I could have avoided that situation?

pure mist
#

east is big red side

#

west is dorms side

cinder flame
#

Hmm

pure mist
#

just want to make sure i got it right

cinder flame
#

My assumption was that crossroads is on the westmost end of the map

#

And dorms in the north

pure mist
#

nope

#

if you pull out a compass

#

crossroads is east

#

just saying

cinder flame
#

That's why I'm asking

pure mist
#

anyway, without vid it's hard to determine what you did wrong

#

or maybe you didn't

purely from text you just need to learn pmc spawns

worthy topaz

Ok odd question but, does anyone know how to make Tarkov use more of your ram? I have 16gb ram and Task manager says that only 4-5 gb is "In Use (Compressed)" How do I make it so it can use more of my ram? Because I still have 10Gb available.

dire eagle
#

If it doesn't use more, then it doesn't need more. Ram is likely not your bottleneck if you're having issues with framerate

worthy topaz
#

I mean, my gpu and cpu arent bottlenecking. So i dont see the problem with bottlenecking. My game runs good, few stutters here and there. I just wish it would use more

versed vigil
#

bwahahah i just lost a blackrock full of top end gear due to following another friendly scav player

#

im not even mad

versed vigil
#

nope

worthy topaz
#

Oh rip

versed vigil
#

there was a PMC

#

nothing to do with them

#

just the PMC arrived and poor me died

but

#

was fun

worthy topaz
#

I went scav Factory, had nothing good on me, wanted to get out, and died to a camping scav. Scav Karma does literally nothing

versed vigil
#

10/10 would lose my wealth to that

#

well if it really does what it says

#

those dirtbags will only play once every 90 minutes eventually

#

I think time penalty should be steeper

worthy topaz
#

They need to give people who kill scavs left and right as a scav a wose punishment

They are the ones with the shortest fuses yes

Other grenades with long fuses can be utilized in different ways though

versed vigil

i mostly throw them with the quick grenade button

can't be arsed to equip and cook them

dawn geyser
#

Can't cook

#

I'm saying grenades with long fuses, eg. M67

#

have 5 second fuses

#

You can toss a grenade, push your target while he's running away and fall back

5 seconds is a long time

oh wtf new wiki is fucked

cosmic tinsel

so everything in tarkov is arcane but well researched. my understanding is that recoil values are specific to the gun, and not consistent across guns

other than the gacha game ads taking up 30% of my screen
