tagilla ran at my ass from across factory :

[kindred shell]

maybe like 10-20 feet idk

[merry berry]

Is interchange or woods better for stuff like screws and bolts

[kindred shell]

im not in their faces

but i can see them

[toxic violet]

@merry berry interchange

[kindred shell]

woods is more for new players imo

[toxic violet]

It might just be buggy karma is new you gotta remember

[merry berry]

Tryna get stash 2 but I got no screws

[toxic violet]

I’d do woods for meds and food

[kindred shell]

i have a really good route in woods that can make me 200-300k

[merry berry]

Woods is not fun at all

[kindred shell]

because no one goes to woods unless for tasks

[merry berry]

I don't like sniping very much

[kindred shell]

i just get a vpo and im chillin

[sly pond]

You don't need to snipe on woods. It's just what most ppl tend to do

[merry berry]

I've mostly died to snipers in woods

[kindred shell]

stay away from the lumber yard and your fine tbh

[merry berry]

I enjoy seeing whos shooting me

[kindred shell]

stay in the trees

[red tusk]

so what's a good place to rat for loot then?

[sly pond]

The lumber yard is the main point of contention on that map.

[merry berry]

I don't normally die in woods

[kindred shell]

yup that it is

[sly pond]

Village tends to have slot of food and some other stuff

[merry berry]

But it's such a shift w nap

[sly pond]

There's a couple of maps that are like that

[kindred shell]

i like ratting in customs

[merry berry]

Idk shoreline feels more fun even if it's also shift w

[kindred shell]

rush dorms with a shotgun we big chillin

chill outside of marked doors wait for them to open it and boom blast em

[merry berry]

I haven't seen marked room open ever

This wipe

[kindred shell]

i wait for players to open them

then i kill em

[sly pond]

I've seen it open once or twice

[merry berry]

I always check the room next to it for ppl like u

[kindred shell]

🙂

some people dont pay attention thankfully

rat is life g

[bold kernel]

Anyone know where the western and Northern barracks are on reserve

Or like what they look like

[glossy spruce]

Totally new to this game but not FPS shooters. What is the ebst way to elarn the game, solo or group?

[bold kernel]

Solo is okay

[kindred shell]

if your new try and group

[bold kernel]

But duo is best in my opinion

[red tusk]

ratting run unsuccessful

[sly pond]

White and black pawn

[red tusk]

died 3 minutes in to some dude with a p90 by the looks of it

[kindred shell]

they can give you tips and pointers

[glossy spruce]

Ok thanks

[bold kernel]

4 - 5 stacking is chaos

[glossy spruce]

Lol I can see that

[kindred shell]

have like a group of 2 or 3

or if you have a friend that plays join them

[sly pond]

Imo a group of 2-4 is best I don't like running 5 man's cause you tend to lose track of a teammate to easily

[kindred shell]

the game is 100% more fun with friends

[merry berry]

I die so much more with my friends

[kindred shell]

i hate running groups bigger then 3

[merry berry]

Think me and my friend lose brain cells when together

[sly pond]

It can happen

[merry berry]

So we just run it

[kindred shell]

dude thats why i let my friends go first

rat is life g

if my buddy is in a fire fight and hes getting fucked ill just wait and bait him out

[steel cape]

stalking a player that was making a little bit of noise, shuffling his feet like idiot.. spend 2 minutes sneaking up on him... i quickpeek corner and prefire a full p90 clip on his head, but its not a player, its tgilla, and he doesnt die, 2taps me through level 5 armor

this game is a joke if i am bveing perfectly honest

[kindred shell]

lmao

very unlucky g

thats why i bring grenades

[merry berry]

I was running towards gunfire once and ran into Killa with like 3 dead bodies around him

[sly pond]

Tagilla has a ton of hp. And his helmet tends to be lvl 4 or 5

[kindred shell]

killa is a monster

[pure mist]

lol he has igolniks

p90 ss190 won't do shit to class 6

[crisp nest]

huh he doesnt have different helms

only the 1 mask

[steel cape]

thats my point

the bosses are fucking overtuned bullshit, doesnt bring value to the game. on the contrary

[pure mist]

it doesn't

[crisp nest]

ss190 is just trash i was behind a guy and took 10+

[kindred shell]

well they are bosses

[crisp nest]

on labs

[pure mist]

you wanna make it so people can farm it every raid?

[crisp nest]

he had c5

[kindred shell]

imagine if you could just easily kill them like a scav

[crisp nest]

also bosses not that hard tagilla u just go around stuff

[kindred shell]

what would be the point in them

[pure mist]

tagilla is good where it is, ive killed him naked shotgun with magnum buckshot

if you tune it down...

[merry berry]

how do u not die to bosses

do they kill u if theyre taking shots?

[steel cape]

they should remove the bosses entirely

[sly pond]

That's if he's chasing you with his sledge and not his ak or shotgun

[pure mist]

lol

[steel cape]

and the game would be better for it

[kindred shell]

lmao

[crisp nest]

his shotgun is 50/50

sometimes is copper sabot

[kindred shell]

i think it would make the game worse tbh

[crisp nest]

sometimes is ap20

[kindred shell]

i love the bosses

[lost crest]

they should also make it so we can fly

[crisp nest]

if its copper sabot and u lose... lol

[lost crest]

jetpacks would be dope

[kindred shell]

hmm yes

[lost crest]

XD

[kindred shell]

they should bring in revolvers

[merry berry]

if u keep shooting killa he wont kill u right

[crisp nest]

he gets "stunlocked"

[sly pond]

Oh he can

[crisp nest]

unless

[lost crest]

that shoot blue shells

[crisp nest]

he slides

[kindred shell]

hmmmmmm yes

[crisp nest]

if he powerslides he is immune to flinch for a bit

[merry berry]

hm

[kindred shell]

shotgun revolver

[sly pond]

Killa is best fought with 2 ppl on opposite sides of him

[kindred shell]

that would fucking obliterate your wrists lmao

[crisp nest]

just headshot him with m61

or snb

[sly pond]

That can work as well

[kindred shell]

got lucky and found 2 gas an in a single custom raid

for some reason dorms was entirely untouched for 20min

[sly pond]

Nice now you need a third

[kindred shell]

i have them both done thankfully

[crisp nest]

i met 2 random friendlies we were all solo

1 guy gave me marked

1 guy gave me 2 gas an

then i gave the 2nd guy some loot

[kindred shell]

you lucky bastard

[crisp nest]

and then me and 1st guy left to old gas

[kindred shell]

i never get that kind of luck

[crisp nest]

then reshala prefired him and naded me

lol

[kindred shell]

i just get a bullet 😦

[crisp nest]

the 1st guy never logged back on since then

RIP

[kindred shell]

lmaoo

[bleak narwhal]

just got the game anyone wanna show me the ropes and play a bit

[vague gull]

does killing raiders as a scav effect your scav karma?

[sand dock]

like OTHER scavs you mean?

[vague gull]

killing raiders

[sand dock]

PMC's?

[vague gull]

raiders

[sand dock]

im lost <.>

theres raiders?

[vague gull]

yes

[sand dock]

i thought it was it just scavs and pmcs?

[vague gull]

heavily kitted scavs on reserve and labs

[sly pond]

Raiders will not affect scav karma as they are classified differently

[sand dock]

ahhh i havent been there yet my bad

[vague gull]

ty

[sand dock]

great anther thing to worry about in this game freakin raiders lol

[sly pond]

Or at least they shouldn't according to the patch notes

They are only on 2 maps currently

[sand dock]

nice

[sly pond]

But yes they are a pain. On reserve about 4-5 spawn when certain conditions are met

[lost crest]

they are called SCAV RAIDERS, so yes, you get deducted pts

[sand dock]

ok what

[sly pond]

@lost crest check the patch notes they are not supposed to affect it.

[hollow thorn]

Question regarding Delivery from the Past: Do you lose the case if you die still?

[crisp nest]

false

[sand dock]

👍

[crisp nest]

u always do

[hollow thorn]

I saw on the wiki that you can now do it with the docs case in your off raid inventory but I wanted to make sure

[crisp nest]

oh idk then

i was hearing abt a bug this wipe

so not sure

[sly pond]

If you have already placed it you are fine but if you die before that and it's in your quest inventory then yes

[hollow thorn]

Pain

Alrighto, thanks for the info

[spice shadow]

introduction quest anybody? im new to the game still..Im a lvl 9

[hollow thorn]

I just confirmed it, you can actually do the quest without carrying the docs on you

[plucky ravine]

can someone help with gunsmith p1

[dreamy turtle]

?

[hollow thorn]

?

[plucky ravine]

i got all the stuff needed i just cant assemble in order or sm

sm is wrong and idk what it is lol

[hollow thorn]

send a screenshot of it

[sly pond]

Good to know

[plucky ravine]

to the right is all the other parts i got lol

[hollow thorn]

Durability too low

[plucky ravine]

oh shit

[hollow thorn]

needs to be at minimum sixty

[plucky ravine]

right..

[potent crater]

i have an AHF1-M stimulant injector what does it do?

[hollow thorn]

go in offline and take it

[bold kernel]

can someone help me? what are graphics cards used for, and why are they so low priced on the market? i feel like im missing something lol

[potent crater]

it is early wipe is why they are low i think

[hollow thorn]

^

[bold kernel]

so i save them?

[echo mauve]

For bitcoin farm

[hollow thorn]

You can use them to make bitcoin farms

later on they'll spike in price

[bold kernel]

okay i see

[hollow thorn]

up to you if you wanna save em or not

[bold kernel]

i will become a business man

[potent crater]

should i just sell my stimulant injectors?

[echo mauve]

Prices are gonna inflate with everything else so I mean if you wait to sell them for more other items are also gonna be more

[bold kernel]

dragonstorm you can read the stats on it, and see what it does

[potent crater]

oh thanks i didnt know

[bold kernel]

no worries, use it well or you can sell it!

[potent crater]

im just gonna sell it because i want to be rich and lose most fights anyways

i barely use grenades in fights and i have a good bit right now so what is worth doing with them besides throwing them at people

[fallow spade]

i mean i would just use them

[potent crater]

i always forget i have any

[fallow spade]

if you know where someone is throw it to the location

they either die get injured or run

oh

[potent crater]

and i never know where anyone is because i never can see anyone at all and i dont know what to do and if there is someone and i know where they are i am probably dead by then

[fallow spade]

you don’t hear them?

[potent crater]

no i dont always wear headphones

and a lot of the time i dont see them and they are a bit away and out of range for me to hear them

[fallow spade]

you really should

headphones give an amazing advantage

[potent crater]

a lot of helmets i wear dont support them tho

[fallow spade]

oh

[merry berry]

is there benefit of laser on shtoguns

[potent crater]

like this helmet i just found where i was looting behind gas station where someone killed reshala that is some beefy helmet wont support them

[polar oyster]

Saves time Bc you don’t have to ads

[vivid fern]

any chance someone could do a woods run and just run me to jaegers camp quick and help me extract? i can try and give something in return like 100k or something?

[polar oyster]

It doesn’t increase ads speed or anything tho, probably makes it lower actually

[fallow spade]

i recommend not using those types of helmets they are high hitpojnts and high armor but they suppress hearing by a lot and block headphones

[potent crater]

if you are giving 100k you must be quite rich dude

[fallow spade]

hearing is way more important

[fallow spade]

i can help you for free

[potent crater]

what do i wear then because i dont have flea and i only have ll1 for all traders

[fallow spade]

wear ragmans ssh-68 steel helmet

[potent crater]

that is what i have been using so is there no better one?

[fallow spade]

no

[potent crater]

ok

should i take all my grenades and throw them for strength?

[dreamy turtle]

no

[polar oyster]

Tbh you don’t even really need one if you get the first shots off. They get flustered and hit center mass

[fallow spade]

i would recommend taking 1 or 2 and just using it for fights

[mental canyon]

make yourself overwight just over the limit and run

[potent crater]

ok ill try but what do i use the zaryas for? I know they are stun but dont know when they would be used or why i would use them

[full basin]

anyone here wanna to help a new guy out with some tasks?

[potent crater]

what tasks?

[mental canyon]

crafting selling or use for ques

tasks*

[fallow spade]

stuns last for about 6 seconds in this game

so it gives you a great advantage

[bold kernel]

Why did my escape from tarkov take long time to load

I have an ssd

[potent crater]

but a normal grenade would do something just as good by killing them

[polar oyster]

It’s cheaper and has a very short fuse

[full basin]

just tasks in general someone to run with me and help me out im having a hard time learning the maps and stuff

[polar oyster]

Also less dangerous to the thrower

[potent crater]

im not good either but do you want to play and i could try and help a little?

[potent crater]

that is true

[full basin]

@potent crater sure 2 is better then 1 right?

[potent crater]

yah

wanna call or what?

[full basin]

sure call me

[fading violet]

is humanitarian supplies quest still bugged where you can get scav kills on all map not just shoreline?

[chilly bane]

anyone wanna squad up, and try to get some gear? idk theese maps and keep getting fked over

[nocturne prairie]

im down im pretty new so need someone to get me in the game

[chilly bane]

well im also new af lol

so thats not gunna work out so well

[bright raptor]

[bold kernel]

All I have is a knife

They ain’t getting anything

[bright raptor]

[bold kernel]

Why

[bright raptor]

your playing a fps game

[bold kernel]

How do I speak to people ingame

[signal gyro]

[bold kernel]

How bruh

I suck

[bright raptor]

there is no ingame voice chat unless your on a team and its through discord

[bold kernel]

Oh

Also

I full auto someone 1 foot away and that boy becomes air

[bright raptor]

[signal gyro]

-wrong ammo/missing shots?

[bold kernel]

The only thing safe is my target

: (

[tranquil portal]

Hi me and my friend are new to tarkov would anyone like to help us learn the ropes

[bold kernel]

Now I just run around with a knife

And stab the shut outta kids

Even though I die

It’s still funny to me

[tall gust]

yo can someone help me mod this sks

[tiny ocean]

guys i marked 2 tanks at reserve then i died before extracting do i need to mark again ? because i didnt survive

[pure marsh]

What's the goal?

And do you have flea/level 2-3 traders?

[tall gust]

no

im level 8 trying to slap a scope on it atm

[pure marsh]

You need the dovetail mount

And cobra rail for other scopes or the PSO scope itself

[steel cape]

why on earth would you mod that busted ass shit

putting supressor on a 50% dur weapon cmon lad

[woeful aurora]

anyone know an easy way to increase skier spending?

[steel cape]

imagine what a propellerbrain spazz you'd have to be to run a squad on factory

[sour wave]

can anyone help me out a bit im pretty new to the game confused asf on what im doing

[steel cape]

you get better help when u ask better questions

[obtuse cliff]

guys can i ask something

is it possible to carry a weapon on a backpack?

[dreamy turtle]

yes

[steel cape]

inside it

[merry berry]

why does cultist poison cost 50k to heal

[dreamy turtle]

buy augmentin and heal it

[bold kernel]

is this key good

looked up loot spawn didnt see anything special

[dreamy turtle]

~400k on flea

its for a quest

[bold kernel]

ohh thats why

okay

[merry berry]

is it me or is there no fm entry for smoked chimney cleaner

[kind widget]

it’s only like 100k profit cuz of the fee

[digital elm]

@shell citrus could you direct message me that would be amazing i something important to tell a mod

[pure mist]

It is a decent key, it happens to be a quest key as well, normally it sits around 100k, now people are doing that quest, so it’s higher

There are 2 safes in it

[shell citrus]

@digital elmYou could always open a support ticket through #discord-mod-mail

[bold kernel]

oo 2 safes

[pure mist]

Good supplement into loot run

[bold kernel]

thats pretty nice ty for info

[steel cape]

does thicc items cases sell on the market or not?

[dreamy turtle]

not that many people are rich enough to buy them rn

[steel cape]

its fucking 1.2 mill fee

like bruh

[pure mist]

It sells for 11 mil rn

Cheap

[steel cape]

if it even sells?

[pure mist]

Usually later in wipe they go for 20

It does

[steel cape]

like i might end up paying 1.2 mill fee and noone buys it, get shafted

[pure mist]

Someone will buy it assuming you put lowest price

You got thicc case?

[steel cape]

yeah

[pure mist]

Nice, i also got mine couple days back

I’m not selling it tho

[steel cape]

therapist

i dont need it

im always dying

yeet

[pure mist]

Lol

If it’s 20 mil I’d tell people you can sell

It’s 10 mil rn

Not worth

[steel cape]

i can buy like

a lot

of smg's for 10 mil

[pure mist]

You can make 10 mil really easily

[steel cape]

i have 3.5 mill now

and i cant be fucked to make bitcoin farm and shit

srsly id rather play farmville than deal with fuel farming and graphics card farming

[pure mist]

I paid for it

Bought almost 20 gpus

[steel cape]

why

[pure mist]

It will pay off

[steel cape]

in how long?

[pure mist]

Let me do the math

Couple months

[steel cape]

l0l

[pure mist]

Wait

[steel cape]

to fuck with that

[pure mist]

Half a month

[vivid fern]

s

[pure mist]

Shit

Bad at math

Assuming gpus are 300k each

It will take roughly 1 month to pay off

Which wipe will last a lot longer than 1 month

Worth…

@steel cape

[steel cape]

not worth the head ache of playing simulator

i wanna play tarkov, not hide out manager 2000

[pure mist]

…

Hideout is part of tarkov

Is there a reason not to

Just collect money everyday?

I don’t necessarily need the money

I just like the passive income

[pure mist]

Then i assuming you are at 0 hideout progression then?

[steel cape]

nope

all stuff level 3

but didnt make bitcoin and the elite things

fuck that

too much grind

[crisp nest]

enjoy not getting elite skill then

without air filter

or library

[steel cape]

i have library

[crisp nest]

air filter gets you double the stat gains

it takes a day straight of run, die, queue, repeat, WITH the air filter

for elite strength

[native yoke]

this game is so confusing

[pure mist]

Thought you didn’t want to play “hideout manager’

[crisp nest]

btc farm u just... add fuel once or twice a day

and claim your few hundred k

[pure mist]

Not even

After generator 3

Put in a lot of fuel

Even without solar

[crisp nest]

yeah once per week nearly

[twilit cape]

i got the game like a week ago but im still a lttle confused with the gun mod system

[pure mist]

What’s your question?

[twilit cape]

like how can i tell if a mod goes with a gun in like skeir or fence?

[elfin elm]

double click item

[twilit cape]

oh oki

[glad summit]

hey did u guys know why i cannot buy the game with a gamestop gifcard??

[twilit cape]

also how can i make a shit ton of money??

[pure mist]

Survive and loot

No trick there

[twilit cape]

fair

[elfin elm]

though knowing where to get the loot, and how to survive is the trick

[pure mist]

Pretty much if you learn one map good

You can start farming money off that map

Relatively quickly

[elfin elm]

though potentially at different rates depending on your approach

[pure mist]

Rn my worst customs loot run is 500K+

[pure mist]

And skill level

[elfin elm]

yes

[pure mist]

If you have good aim pvp can make you money

[elfin elm]

if you go to customs, don't know the caches, don't hit dorms, fortress, or crackhouse

your loot will be limited

[steel cape]

here u go mechanic... rip off quest chain from hell finally done

[bold kernel]

if

[pure mist]

How much u spent on that?

[steel cape]

too much

4-500k i think

[pure mist]

My build it 180k + the scope

Don’t use mur lol

[steel cape]

its done

[pure mist]

And it can be done without pk4

It does pay off tho

Sold everything flea price

Pretty good

[steel cape]

im getting back 313k for the rifle he gave me as a reward tho

so its not THAT horrible

[elfin elm]

lol

[pure mist]

I made good money off that

[steel cape]

i guess i can pick it apart and sell the pieces on flea

[pure mist]

All the parts flea price is like 450k + thermal

[pure mist]

The only money making way

The thermal sells 300k on flea alone lol

And the mount

[steel cape]

yeah its hefty

[pure mist]

People pay stupid amount of price for the mount when there’s a barter for 4 d size battery

Lol

[steel cape]

i imagine a lot of other ppl like me who say fuck it, ill pay whatever, just wanna get this shit done

move on and focus on better shit

[pure mist]

Lol literally 5 seconds to barter for it

[steel cape]

5 seconds too much

[pure mist]

…

Do you just have 100 mil and doesn’t care lol

[steel cape]

no but i dont buy anything until im mechanic level 4

im just going full hobo ghetto on every run

never insure, never buy anything

and i have still 40% survival rate

[dense matrix]

Anyone wanna run with me and learn me some stuff only a level 3 just started

[hardy ingot]

just killed a guy on fac with this gun why is the ergo like that

[pure mist]

It’s a bug or something

If you put certain parts on a gun

[steel cape]

inside my hideout, i have a playstation.. and a pretty interesting game.. Blyatman

l0l

[hardy ingot]

oh so the ergos not high it just says it is

[bold kernel]

i prefer call of call

[steel cape]

saw that

bsg designers are meme lords

the visuals of the hideout is really very well done

what about scav case? is that worth getting? seems really gimmicky

[pure mist]

If you run it enough

Def worth

Especially as intel is cheap rn

Moonshine run can be use as to get certain streamer item

85k is pure consistency

Most of the time it’s profit

[unreal horizon]

i'd have to assume tables have been tweaked, but as of last wipe 85k was straight profit

[oak geyser]

Searching a guide to help you with your path in Tarkov?

/lfg portable bunkhouse key in factory zone customs

[versed meteor]

resort 303 west can be accessed from the door next to it so should i just sell this key for 51K to therapist or was i lied to?

[inner wing]

[unreal lion]

[steel cape]

i literally just finished that quest 2 minutes ago

[harsh raven]

im relatively new and was wondering if anyone wanted to make a team or if there was one i could join?

[crisp nest]

#pvp-lfg

[harsh raven]

dope, good looks man

[hazy goblet]

Yo can someone who has flee market unlocked can you buy me the Vulcan visor and I’ll give you like 90k for it or something

I’ll give you like double it’s flee market value

[crisp nest]

trading aint allowed and tbh just sell the vulkan

[hazy goblet]

Can someone tell me why the Vulcan is so ass

[steel cape]

wait what, trading aint allowed on this channel or in general?

thats really fucking dumb

[polar oyster]

Yeah where can I trade?

[sage marlin]

anyone able to run woods with me need scav kills and jaeger camp

[crisp nest]

in general

they were tired of ppl whining abt getting scammed

[steel cape]

lul

[crisp nest]

in-game, kinda allowed but u can get rmt flagged if u just give someone hella stuff

[dawn vapor]

not here thats all i know 🙂

[polar oyster]

Oops

[dawn vapor]

Not allowed in this discord

[steel cape]

silly

[polar oyster]

My bad

[hazy goblet]

Ok can someone explain why the Vulcan is ass like if I took it into labs over like a ulach wouldn’t it be fine?

I don’t have flee market rn

[crisp nest]

u cant hear

[hazy goblet]

So I can’t get an altyn

[crisp nest]

helmet useless vs players usually

[polar oyster]

I like it. You just crank ur pc volume

[plucky ravine]

which vendor do i sell bitcoins to?

[hazy goblet]

Ok what about the slick is that worth bringing

[steel cape]

therapist

[plucky ravine]

aight thanks

[dawn vapor]

I will always bring a helmet, helmets save me enough to be worth

[steel cape]

i have 200 ish hours into the game and i dont think helmet has saved me once against a player yet. maybe once or twice against a scav

[oak geyser]

Searching a guide to help you with your path in Tarkov? need customs bunhouse portable key

[steel cape]

they are totally bollocks

[crisp nest]

been saved once from 855 by a zsh

after 300 hours

[dawn vapor]

during my 2.8k hours, i have been saved here and there. When i think about not bringing a helmet i look back to all the other times i was saved.

[steel cape]

statistically speaking its pretty safe to say that insurance and helmets are useless

even if it works every now and then, its not worth it over all

[hazy goblet]

Idk insurance is nasty for nakey vepr hunter runs

[steel cape]

why? its not like you're getting it back if u die

[hazy goblet]

run in bust killas ass then get out and no one ever takes your stuff

I have never had my vepr hunter taken

[fading violet]

insurance works well if you play with a team

[steel cape]

it only takes 4 slots

its so easy to bring

[fading violet]

also unless you are running super good gear there is a chance the player killed you won't bother taking your stuff since he might be full already

[steel cape]

yeah but in that case u are paying insurance for junk

which is a waste in itself

[hazy goblet]

It’s like 3k to insure lol

[fading violet]

I've had half my insurance come back when I'm solo and I run okay kits

[hazy goblet]

Also vepr hunter dumps on killa so idk if it’s a waste I use it in ass my boss runs

[dawn vapor]

i always insure my kits, i pay the price to be prepared. If the insurance of that item is not worth it to you dont insure it. I always insure my ppshs cause i dont want to spend the extra cash to buy another fresh one

[steel cape]

i either run with some kind of neat kit i looted from a guy i killed, and go with it for as long as it lasts.. or i run some random crap i got from scav runs.

if something is so nice that i want to insure it, typically that is exactly the kind of stuff that will be looted if i die so its pointless. if its the useless scav stuff, its like running a hobo budget run but good enough to get a kill or two, but not good enough that it warrants paying any money for it

it seems very obvious to me that insurance is nothing but a money sink

[fading violet]

to each their own but when you insure garbage gear it will come back 99% of the time and you can just vendor it if you don't want to run it again

[cosmic tinsel]

insurance also provides you the ability to insurance fraud to haul out additional gear

[unreal horizon]

insure if u want
dont if u dont

ezpz

[coral pilot]

its only for insurance fraud if u play solo and run good gear

[cosmic tinsel]

so much of my shit goes into the ocean/lakes/rivers 😄

[dawn vapor]

the poor scavs that have to fish for the gear

[bold kernel]

what kind of 9x18 ammo should i use

[steel cape]

i dont even bothering running high end gear unless i find it in raid

the ammount of head eyes fuckers running around atm makes it so gear has no difference..

[unreal horizon]

probably sp7 and munch legs

[dawn vapor]

if you going for legs Sp7, for most pen PBM

[bold kernel]

who sells it ?

[steel cape]

im not performing any better in my raids if i am running with a 50% dur mp -133 than when i am running a meta m4 or whatever, cause there's the prefire head eye hero in every 3 raids that will wipe the server in 2 minutes anyway

[dawn vapor]

PBM (prapor level 3, but there is a craft at level 2 work bench). SP7 is also level 3 prapor. imo go for the craft

[candid tundra]

i just started a scav run, is this really lucky to spawn with?

[unreal horizon]

yes

[steel cape]

go extract :P

[candid tundra]

ok thanks

[unreal horizon]

keep 2 for quest, or send it labs and hope you don't get a cheater

[dawn vapor]

if you are in need for cash you can sell it for 210k 🙂

[unreal horizon]

true but if you don't know if a labs card is good you prob don't have flea

[dawn vapor]

yea understandable

[brittle prawn]

could someone sell a pack of screws to fence? i'd be forever grateful, and i'll return the favor -- lots of junk to offload!

[candid tundra]

ofc i get lucky then die to an extract camper...

[unreal horizon]

dang what a loser

imagine camping

[steel cape]

all the quests i have remaining now are totally ass

dont wanna do any of em

[fading violet]

which extract did you die at

[tranquil shore]

Or a pmc lmao

[unreal horizon]

wym?

[candid tundra]

ruined road extract on shoreline

[unreal horizon]

oh rip

always check on the rocks left of tunnel

[tranquil shore]

PMC on labs are usually top geared

So if you run a TT Pistol you’re gonna have a hard time

[unreal horizon]

eh sometimes

labs has more crabs than good players

[dusty vortex]

can someone guide me on shoreline need to do signal part 1 its the only map i dont know. lvl 25

[tranquil shore]

What is the map with the best players then

[unreal horizon]

reserve probably

really good players go labs sure, but there aren't many really good players

[silent oracle]

Are you tagged and cursed if you bring a pistol?

[tranquil shore]

Dont think so

[fading violet]

pistol + rig is enough from what I have heard

[tranquil shore]

True

I die to everyone

Everywhere

So idk how has the best

[unreal horizon]

shoot them in the face

ez

[tranquil shore]

Bro

They use god mode

I feel like they do

[unreal horizon]

position well, 90% of people don't wear visor

[tranquil shore]

Yeah, the fights i end in is who has the best RPM. So now im a vector main

[unreal horizon]

cringe kektor

[steel cape]

vector is amazing

[unreal horizon]

gun's a crutch you'l get free kills but doesn't really teach you anythingg

sounds rad tho

[tranquil shore]

Ik

[unreal horizon]

brrrr

[dense hemlock]

How do u get your scav rep up and what do u get from having higher rep? Ive noticed my scavs have been spawning with better gear is that cause of rep or just luck

[steel cape]

thats what vector does IRL

[tranquil shore]

If you cant beat them, join them

[unreal horizon]

true it's an effective gun

super effective

[fading violet]

5 man vector with green tracer ammo, go night time and make some dude shit his pants

[steel cape]

its arguably the best close quarter combat weapon in the world

[tranquil shore]

Shotgun one shot

[steel cape]

nope

not even close

[tranquil shore]

Then you’re using a weak ass shotgun

[unreal horizon]

sure but vector ttk is practically instant, and you can hit multiple targets faster

[tranquil shore]

True shit

Why don’t i see KS-23 more often ingame actually

[steel cape]

if you think a shotgun is a better CQC weapon than a vector you really dont understand anything. may aswell say knife

[tranquil shore]

It’s an op gun, and one shot legs

[plucky ravine]

how much roubles is 1$ worth from peacekeeper?

[tranquil shore]

125

[plucky ravine]

aight thanks

[steel cape]

maybe you missed the part where we are talking about "in the world" not in tarkov game mechanics

reading is hard, i understand

[tranquil shore]

Was making a joke bro

[unreal horizon]

lol no need to be a dickhead

[bleak shore]

it also one shots legs irl

pretty op

[dense hemlock]

Guys i pooped and it looked like a vector mag

[tranquil shore]

They need to nerf it

[dense hemlock]

My pfp is me taking the poop

[bleak shore]

proof

[steel cape]

900+ rate of fire on the vector and an old lady with arthritis could fire that thing with pinpoint accuracy

its wildly impressive design

[tranquil shore]

That’s an Easter egg bro

Really rare

[steel cape]

just a shame about the ammount of huge armor in tarkov that makes 9mil pretty weak

[dense hemlock]

I really be ratting on customs so hard dude i suck at combat especially since everyone is already lvl 30

[tranquil shore]

If there was nothing to stop the vector everyone would run it

[bleak shore]

who wants to run customs i need scavs

[steel cape]

yes well

its not that great on range tho

[tranquil shore]

Depends

I beam people with a vector on Long range

Much fun ngl

[unreal horizon]

.45 vec > 9mm though

rip is too good

[steel cape]

this used to be the service weapon in the norwegian military.. the AG3 or H&K G3, it fires 7,62x51 nato, so as you can imagine it kicks quite a bit.
my sergeant dualwield that thing on full auto while another sergeant stand behind and push against his back to help support the recoil.. what a chad

my question is when do we get dualwield in tarkov

[dawn vapor]

[dense hemlock]

Realistically i dont think anyone as tactical as a pmc would dual wield ,makes your gun prone to jamming if u have flimsy wrists and judging by the games style wouldnt fit

Atleast thats what i was taught

[steel cape]

realistically i dont think you understand that overwhelming fear that would strike and paralyze the enemy when blyatman 2000 is blasting hardbass and rushing down dorms while dualwielding full auto and spraying and yelling "cyyyyyyyykaaaaaa"

[cosmic tinsel]

#842813702498549760

[dense hemlock]

Lmao

I think making a boss duel wield would be awesome

[steel cape]

dual toz and hardbass boomblaster

git sum

[dense hemlock]

But only pistols primary weapons would be op

[ashen basin]

boombox when?

[steel cape]

cant believe there is no slav squatting and hardbass in the game

[cosmic tinsel]

life of boris

got all you need

[steel cape]

@dawn vapor

[candid tundra]

are these good?

[unreal lion]

the clock is only sellable

[candid tundra]

so the bitcoin is useless ?

[tranquil shore]

You can sell it

220k i Think

Or if you have 10, barter something

If you have 20 bitcoins and 20 GP coins you can barter to a THICC items case

[ancient ocean]

Why is the HK Mp7 so cheap?

[kindred shell]

lmao spawned in customs and died in 5 seconds

what the fuck is this shit

[ancient ocean]

Isnt it one of the best guns

[kindred shell]

couldnt even move yet

[coral pilot]

mags are expensive. 50k+ for the 40 shots

[ancient ocean]

Ah right

[dense hemlock]

What should i do with the horse statue sell or is it needed for a quest

[harsh perch]

ive got 2.5 mil but im basically out of kits should i just spend like 50k on a kit or just wait for scav run

[ancient ocean]

same sorta thing happened to me

[devout dew]

can someone help me find sanitars room

[bold kernel]

what do i do with the pump front and pump back keys?

[elfin elm]

two needed for a quest

rest can sell if you find more

[elfin elm]

those are keys for a room on factory

either keep them to use, there's a couple loot spawns there

or sell

[cedar gust]

anyone know why i cant turn in my task i have it in my quest inv but i cant turn it in

[bold kernel]

ok ty

i cannot get postman pat done

[elfin elm]

usually I recommend keeping one of each key

[cedar gust]

^

thats what i cant turn in

[bold kernel]

like 30+ raids on factory

[dense hemlock]

U gotta click on the trader and go to tasks u cant complete or turn stuff in from your character tasks screen I believe

[elfin elm]

you have to turn into therapist

[cedar gust]

thats what im doing

[elfin elm]

you have to finish postman pt 2

to finish postman pt 1

[cedar gust]

i only have part 1

[elfin elm]

go to therapist

collect task for pt 2

turn it in

[cedar gust]

OHHH

thank you

[elfin elm]

and pt 1 will complete automatically

or at least turn in autmatically

you still have to go click the complete button

[bold kernel]

i live for an average

of 10 seconds

and then get head eyesd

[elfin elm]

sounds nice

[bold kernel]

25+ raids for this lol

[elfin elm]

sound like factory without a face shield

[bold kernel]

used a tagilla mask earlier

and got thoraxed through tier 5 armor

with fmj 4.6x30

in 3 hits

just unlucky ig

[light knot]

how much is it to do gunsmith pt 5?

[candid tundra]

can you do tasks as a scav

[lilac cipher]

Does anyone wanna help me learn the basics? Ive played a few times before but I always get confused about where Im at or where to find quest items and things as such.

[elfin elm]

no

[elfin elm]

what lvl?

[lilac cipher]

Fresh

[elfin elm]

only exception is if you just need to find so and so number of so and so items

[elfin elm]

maybe in a minute or two sure

[lilac cipher]

Alright. I can wait.

[bold kernel]

whats the hideout upgrade that allows you craft two items at a time for any station?

[coral pilot]

elite crafting skill or elite hideout management, forgot which one

[potent crater]

how do i get higher strength? I dont mean what increases it but how can i actually get it up fast or at least at all?

[coral pilot]

most likely crafting skill

[coral pilot]

start raid overweight with shotgun shells in bag, drop it for loot as u play

[elfin elm]

also throwing nades

[potent crater]

what do the shotgun shells have to do with it?

[potent crater]

i asked if i should just throw all my nades for strength and someone said no i so i didnt

[sonic elm]

they make you overweight

the shotgun shells make you overweight

[potent crater]

how many shells would it take to make me over weight

and wouldnt that get pricy?

pricey

[sonic elm]

you can see in the bottom left of your stash how heavy you are when it turns yellow you are overweight

and no

if you buy shells from jager its like 2k or sum

[elfin elm]

well it improves strength

[night forge]

is there little text in red on the bottom right of screen when you get a jam?

[elfin elm]

but you're also throwing away 10k for each nade

[elfin elm]

yes

usually

[potent crater]

which shells

[sonic elm]

any

[elfin elm]

any

cheaper better

[night forge]

does it show you what button to press to unjam?

[elfin elm]

shells jhust weigh a lot

[echo mauve]

Remind it

[elfin elm]

yes

[echo mauve]

Rebind

[elfin elm]

how bout now?

[night forge]

i died and i didn't get to see it, what button is it to unjam?

[echo mauve]

It's like left ctrl plus something

[elfin elm]

shift r by default I think

[lilac cipher]

I just got into a scav customs but if youre down after

[elfin elm]

sure

[night forge]

ok thanks alkalia

[potent crater]

bruh i spent 2k and they are 5.6 WITH my berekut

[opaque ermine]

how tf does someone tnk 8 buckshot rounds to the chest

[potent crater]

good armor

[lilac cipher]

voice?

[sonic elm]

you gotta buy till u overweight

[potent crater]

and only some of the shots hitting

[elfin elm]

with armor

[sonic elm]

shotgun shells have no pen

[potent crater]

how the hell am i supposed ot afford this

[sonic elm]

its not expensive

[opaque ermine]

nah it said 853 damage absorbed by armor

[elfin elm]

2k is nothing

[sonic elm]

yeah that means no pen

it was all absorbed

[elfin elm]

must have been a lot spread to limbs

[opaque ermine]

hmmm ok thx

[potent crater]

jesus christ dude

[opaque ermine]

yea its a bummer

[potent crater]

he must have been using one hell of an armor

[elfin elm]

I mean

lvl 2 stops buck

so not really?

you could be wearing a paca and stop that

[potent crater]

I think i am wrong but wouldnt his armor have to have 800 armor points?

[elfin elm]

no, material modifier for one

and also damage to armor and armor durability are not 1 to 1

[potent crater]

bruh i bought enough shells to fill my whole berekut and did and my pockets but im still now over weight what do i do now?

[sonic elm]

you def overweight

[potent crater]

im 17.1

im not overweight

[sonic elm]

cap

[potent crater]

what am i supposed to do

[sonic elm]

send screenshot

[potent crater]

ill show you

i think i bought like SUPER light shells or some shit

[sonic elm]

do you have a gun and armor?

[potent crater]

oh im so dumb

no gun or armor but still here is this

[dreamy turtle]

wait so

why are you strength training?

[potent crater]

really want to be able to carry decent gear without walking slow as fuck and being able to run more

not run more

run with good gear that is heavier

[dreamy turtle]

you know that

elite strength

takes a long time

like a long time

[elfin elm]

it's not a short term goal

[sonic elm]

like 150 hours

[potent crater]

it still goes up gradually tho right?

[dreamy turtle]

yea but why not just play normally

you'll still train it

[potent crater]

because i dont get overweight a lot

[sonic elm]

i am fukin strength level 6 and im chillin

[potent crater]

im 2

[elfin elm]

well he can still toss in a few shells to help along the way

[sonic elm]

well put a gun and armor on

[elfin elm]

str 8

[potent crater]

many thousand worth of shells

[dreamy turtle]

you can level strength later with a docs case full of sas drives

[kind widget]

problem with that is you can’t take weight out without losing money

[dreamy turtle]

why are you taking weight out

[lilac cipher]

yo someone mind helping me find the exit real quick?

[kind widget]

shells are dirt cheap so you can just throw them out when you find something

[potent crater]

what map

[lilac cipher]

customs

scav

[potent crater]

what ones do you have

[lilac cipher]

Ive got old road crossroads and scav check

[potent crater]

uhh someone else help him

idk customs too well

[kind widget]

You lose everything if you can't get in to your game after crashes, or server issues, right?

[sonic elm]

you can load back in

[astral gulch]

I've been trying that for 10 minutes.

[potent crater]

DUDE i have a gun and armor im still not over weight

It just seems like the game is offering a shortcut

[ancient ocean]

No it’s because I fucked a quest lmao

[tranquil shore]

You got it after choosing a grader for chemical p 4

To get the rep for not choosing skier you gotta give him 1 mil roubles

at what point in overweight ness do i only regain stam when proned?

holy fuck that was a lot of scavs in dorms

[quartz tiger]

for the quest where you gotta either submit to therapist or skier, which is the better option?

[unborn flicker]

therapist got me FUCKED Up

she want GREEN KEY CARD

and a blue key card

and 2 found in raid syringes

[simple pelican]

Hey guys
My partner is updating the latest tarkov update and it’s getting stuck at 99% and won’t go any further.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

[quartz tiger]

that bit is easy

[unborn flicker]

and Jaeger wants me to just kill him

why the fuck would you do it for therapist

therapist got me fucked up homie

she can succ me if she thinks im going through the effort of collecting 2 keycards worth 10m+

[quartz tiger]

green isn't that much

its like 200k tops

[light lance]

Hey guys. Mapgenie does not seem to have Reserve, and the one on wiki confuses me. Anyone has another suggestion?

[unborn flicker]

oh

theres no greens on market

theres only a few

and they want like 10m+ in barters

including a red key card

[blazing hawk]

can anyone play with me i just got the game today and need help

[tranquil shore]

Chemical P4?

[tranquil shore]

Tbf

10 mil is easy to get

[versed vigil]

Does anyone know why I don't have any quests for PK? He's sitting at 0.20 rep and not a single question has popped up

[fossil thistle]

The Peacekeeper quests are unlocked by completing the ‘Friend from the West Part 1’ and ‘Friend from the West Part 2’ quests from Skier.

[versed vigil]

ah hell

thanks

[fossil thistle]

‘Friend from the West Part 2’ does require you to hand over $6,000 to Skier

Part 1 is just kill 6 USEC PMCs adn turn in 6 USEC Dog tags

[unborn flicker]

yeah so is seeing the sun

looks like we're on different sides of the fence

[quartz tiger]

7

[fossil thistle]

ah

[versed vigil]

One more thing, I have a lot of big backpacks that I used to hoard to extend hideout space. Trizip, mechanism, pilgrims, etc. I don't need the space any more so IDK now if I should just wear them or keep. My brain says use them because ragman gives me shit for them, and I'm holding on a pilgrim for a quest, but IDK if I should

[fossil thistle]

I just sell them for ragman and money

[versed vigil]

the thing is money also isn't a problem, it's easy to get a million in a couple runs, unless I get unlucky, or someone with good ammo knows how to point at my head

[quartz tiger]

in that case do whatever your feel like

[versed vigil]

Like 30k doesn't go anywhere really, the gun for example costed me 300k

guess i will just use them

another thing, is it just me or is it really worthless to do anything in the lavatory

turn gas masks into filters and that would be all, everything else is largely cheaper to buy off flea

[silver orbit]

I mean, yeah, but being able to use extra items and turn them into corrugated hoses is nice.

[versed vigil]

aye that could work

[opaque spoke]

hi me and a friend are trying to do shoreline but we have never played it is anyone willing to help? in lfg 9

[versed vigil]

TBH I also see little interest in mostly every other hideout building, prices are soooo low rn

even sugar is 23k

[dreamy turtle]

hideout is pretty worth

[versed vigil]

how?

[river marten]

Anyone know why my fucking computer can't handle reserve especially when I shoot?

[quartz tiger]

i never thought i would be getting bored of tarkov cuz im looking for a bar of soap

[dreamy turtle]

crafts

[versed vigil]

You don't say

[dreamy turtle]

well you asked a question with an obvious answer

[versed vigil]

if you're going to act like an asshole I'd rather get no answer 🙂

[deep ice]

he do be correct tho, also you need a higher level hideout for some additional EXP benefits

[versed vigil]

this is beginners assistance, not level 50 player rocket science questions

[deep ice]

coulda responded less snarky ey

[versed vigil]

saying hideout is good because crafts isn't any good

[versed vigil]

unlike his answer:

crafts

it's like saying "i die very often, any tips?" and the answer being "click people"

[lusty pagoda]

dying often is ok

you learn from your deaths

[versed vigil]

only when you understand what's going on

some of my friends have already quit the game because they are walking around and get sniped in Woods with nobody to explain to them there's a sniper scav far up a rock

[deep ice]

everybody goes through that man

[thick ridge]

is something up with the eu servers im in a scav raid woods and im waiting like 11 mins its normaly around 3 mins

[deep ice]

it happens randomly when you are playing on not very populated maps ( as a scav )

[thick ridge]

soooo i gotta wait till more come right?

[deep ice]

that or requeue and pray

[thick ridge]

well i can close the game and restard

[versed vigil]

that's unlikely to help

[thick ridge]

to late .p

[versed vigil]

you can try other maps, or change servers before you go back in

[thick ridge]

i cant cancel it anymore

thats the prob.

[versed vigil]

you might have an easier time in other regions, e.g. now it's morning in europe and night in america, so it's easier to find games in Europe

if you can't cancel you're in the game now

waiting for some potato pc

[thick ridge]

oh well i got in but instant spawn trapped by a pmc

[tranquil shore]

Personally i just pick every server without 110 ping

There’s eu and NA East
