should I wait until later in the match? would 32 minutes be too quick and attract PMCs?
but most of the times i have good timing with bunker extract
i dont mind going in anytime
if ur a scav ur there to get leftover loot
if there aint lots of bodies just go explore and try getting loot from building
s
Most scavs spawn in with like 10-15min left of match
i just go loot spots i loot as pmc
and most of the times i get stuff that i need to sell and can get upto 500k from a run depends tho
my legs are shot out and I'm coughing a lot. I have a mission to mark the tanks but idk if I will be able to manage it
@west plover tbh man If I was you i'd just limp to the alarm extract and pray someone turns it on
500k a run for lvl 11 isnt bad atleast to me
cus without that ur prob fked
I'm not very familiar with reserve but an alarm is going off rn
then you can go to extract
ur not that far tbh
id go before scavs get in properly
cus theyll want out at heating pipe
and turn alarm on to farm raiders
Do you lose scav karma for killing raiders as a scav?
just to clarify the entrance to the bunker is at the start of the orange/yellow line, dont go all the way down the ramp you'll see, just go inside
No
I went through the fence but do I have to go in a warehouse to go underground, or just head on the grass to that outpost in the bottom right?
warehouse
like that
the purple line is your extract but you can go inside the blue line area to get there
since ull likely get shot limping across outside
Yikes the train is here
lol I died. I jumped on a box and people heard me scream. 2 groups of people came to kill me. I should've just used a nade to blow myself up lol
rip
I was only risking the gear of the guy I killed anyway 🤷
least u know where extract is now
a general idea lol, thanks

the less you worry bout the gear the better you play
i somehow play better if i dont think bout gear
oh, I mean... I don't know, lol. I'm very scared in Tarkov. This is a horror game to me. But I'm a loot goblin so I guess I can't put it down
I'd like to get more confident but I guess it'll be a process
i had anxiety attacks in 2017 when i bought the game
and then decided to uninstall
now im back going full on strong
xd
@west plover takes time to get use to pvp, once you practice more on the maps you will be fine
I still go completely silent if I hear someone coming lol
I play a lot of slow tactical plays it’s awesome
could someone send me the customs bp depot spawn point
?
bp depot missions spawn point
s
Hi , any vets here want to help me with some quests in NA?
I would I play late nights if your still need help at 11pm central msg me
i get so fucking unlucky on customs....
literally a guy camping with a shotgun at a tree
and i just spawned
yesterday i killed someone that had quite a bit of gear and after this raid I am in can someone hlep me know what is actually good or what to just use
was already spawning in
You could post screenshots maybe, and then we could comment. This is technically my 3rd wipe, but really my 2nd wipe of playing seriously... and I still have to constantly check the wiki to see what something is good for. I also check tarkov-market website for a ballpark estimate of prices, but I find that it's not always completely correct.
also cant have chrome open cause of internet issues
slow internet that cuts out if you use too much?
if i use wifi my internet goes from 40 ping to 300
yea
print a map
our village to poor for fiber
Can anyone tell me why pistol cases are 100k
1 at old gas
1 at new gas
1 at bronze watch area
barter for weapon case
Anyone have keys that can help me with a few quest? Trying to finish more quest to hit 20 so I can be on my own.
you can try #pvp-lfg and say which quests you're doing, and people might join you
tyvm
yeah, looks like Jaeger - https://tarkov-market.com/item/Weapon_case
ok i died can i just name the stuff?
is it quest locked or?
I mean I guess
i'm ll3 and i cant see the barter
it looks like he's level 4
oh, ok, tyvm
ok i got BMTI Kround VM armor
TC 800 helmet with a class 2 visor
and some decked m4 but i already know that is good
yah i shot him in the neck
It really depends on your playstyle and what your goals are @potent crater but tbh I sell almost everything. I might keep the m4 until you have flea market so you can save it as a preset weapon. I just about never buy armor or helmets either, but that's just me. My player class is "Marauder", so I basically am a loot goblin and rat. I usually try to avoid people, and don't always rush to the high loot areas - especially if I didn't spawn near there
Can someone just play with me later and help me figure out what the hell im doing I’ve played before but I have not played since last wipe and forgot everything
i could try but might be busy later
if you plan on doing tasks(quests) and all that, you will want to be selling some stuff to the traders to get their levels up
#pvp-lfg might help
I don’t see that channel
maybe he's missing roles and that's why he can't but idk
what is a gun that is cheap and good for factory?
what's your goal for going there?
do you have flea market @potent crater ?
no
this any good?
@potent crater I was going to suggest mp5 with 50round mags pst bullets...
2 shot legs meaning you blow out a leg with 2 shots or?
you shoot a leg twice and they die
same leg right
but it needs 100% accuracy, while 8.5mm buck only needs 60% accuracy
yeah
seperate legs they're on like 50 hp, but still living
well to start one is tracer
Use this website: https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics
luger, but both are shit
You can see stats for all bullets
luger has less pen but will probably kill faster
pst is ok, it has some pen
is leg meta still a thing?
i figure luger vs legs beats pst vs armor
100%
if you're confident you can hit face though, use pst
petition to make mustache 2 tiles
imagine i kill him
like a dr robotnik mustache?
Sure 🙂 Pst into thorax is not good, but into even tier 3 faceshields is ok, I run them alot 😄
is it worth it to give jaeger two found in raid keycards
keep them if you want
the quest doesn't hold you back if you don't do it
and you're not getting kappa
do you want to do quests?
do you need xp?
if no to both, then no
can i ask someone, to help me with customs dorm water task? i haven't got the dorm 206 key
you on eu?
yes
sure, i can do a customsrun with you
Mike ruining children's dreams since 2001
you get 40k roubs and that ever so hard to come by jager rep. Remember if you ever need a keycard you can simply buy it on flea, but jager requires FIR which means you will most likely need to get lucky or kill scav boss to get them
its still real to me, dammit
The task is also required for kappa so
meevo, carry me on customs so I can get level 20
hokay
have they decreased the spawn chance of flash drives on interchange?
he alr has flea
is it a good time to mention i stink
idc ur rich
keycards aint cheap 😦
Especially when your SR is 20%?
true

For tarkov shooter 2 do i need to land legshots or kill with legshots?
i dont remeber
!wiki tarkov shooter 2

The Tarkov shooter - Part 2 is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.
land
not kill
Make 3 hits in the legs from more than 40 meters away with a bolt-action rifle
Make 2 headshots from more than 40 meters away with a bolt-action rifle
What are you on about m8
you can land 3 leg shots and then headshot one scav
and then headshot one more and be done
only takes 2 scavs
oh that sounded too easy
thats why i was asking
Did you even try it
it is easy
yeah but i dint know if i was cuz of my range or cuz of the task
Anybody got 2 story key 114?
me lol
I need it for my pharmacist task 🦫
Hop and press F 😂
Cool let me know when you’re down
you cleary dont play interchange
i was on my way out i just spent like 7 mins trying to get that motor
Never played it once
I only have 10 hours in the game
I’m trying to log on but it’s saying I need to repair what does that mean
Repair what your game files?
hey everyone does anyone wanna teach me how to play tarkov ? XD
YouTube is the best teacher tbh
ill get my keys join a call
Ight bet
I recommend this site for maps and starting with factory/customs or playing offline mode https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs
I’m in 2 man #1
cant join its ufll
It’s a bug join another VC and I’ll join it
number 20
Whats the best map to do a scav hidden stash run on?
I'm downloading the game, anyone willing to show me the ropes?
shoreline, interchange, customs, or woods. pick the map you're best at
Idk i know customs more but i kinda like interchange more at the same time. ill see
why has insurance been taking so long recently?
parkov's fat ass is too slow
fr
interchange is easier and faster
shoreline has the most caches I think, but large map
how does ps two tap to both arms
woods has them somewhat weirdly placed, same with customs, and interchange is a square with the caches all around the edges
alright
I started and didn't realize killing friendly scavs was bad. What's the quickest way to level fence rep?
friendly extracts never seem to work. nobody is ever there. 😦
in my experience so far
besides that just surviving a raid the boss didn't die in, protecting the boss, and killing bad apples is the only other rep gain
haven't tried to use them a lot yet
supposedly if you voiceline as a pmc at scav players you're very likely to get them to work with you
as long as you "cease fire" "knives out" "I'm leading"
thanks 
i got a labs keycard so should i try to learn the map in offline?
anyone know how i can get my ergo to 21 or more, i followed the wiki page but i guess some stuff got changed around
a buttpad
oo ok ty
ah ok so i looked around a little and this seems to be one way to do it i guess lol
did you put the buttpad on the moe stock to try that?
yeah but i was 2 ergo short
i think so, cause it requires at least 1500 sighting range
and there is another scope that does give the same sighting range but it reduces the same amount of ergo
well have you tried the pilad which is like half the cost?
I'll look myself
but that's usually the one you can cheap with
no cause i usually just follow the wiki for these quests lol, but i just looked it up and the pilad only gives 800 sighting range
I think there's actually 3 or 4 with the sighting distance
but they're likely all around the same cost
bout same difference
how do i keep my peace keeper rep up?
tasks
you have to finish a few skier quests though before you can do peacekeeper tasks
fuckkkk
yeah, you basically can't get to peacekeeper 3 without doing them
is dorms room 303 2 story dorms or 3?
can someone help me with some customs quest
though the room numbers have some overlap, the same room for both dorms will never both have a locked door
is it on the second or third floor
or on the first
top floor 3rd story
thanks
2nd door on the right, coming from the south staircase
customs run anyone? trying to learn map still
what do you need to do?
need some help doing some tasks dm me ( pretty new)
always has been
quick noob question: I've watched streams and vids where players will reload a weapon by pulling the action open and loading rounds in through the ejection port. How do you do that?
ctrl r
Paracord sell or keep? they were supposed togo back up or?
tyvm
useless to do
not useless reload
counts as xp for gun lvling
instead of mag drills I believe
other instances in which it can be handy, but I digress
Anyone willing to buy me a few SKS Hexagon suppressors? I don't have flea yet.
I'll pay of course
if you want to tag along sure
Hi i'm new to tarkov, and I'm trying to use offline mode to learn the map "customs" I didn't turn on pve, but there's still a npc killing me everytime i load in and run around. Anyone know why/how to fix?
if you go out of bound on the railway there's a sniper and he will kill you
its themap design
oh ok
ahh ok yeah thats where i died
ran same place twice was like tf
but at least now i know i was over near custom factory corner and was working my way west
ty, back to runnin around
SAME
my first two times
when i already knew the map
i'd always try to get as far as possible before turning right
died twice thinking i got shot from bridge xD
lol wtf how did this guy get negative flea rep
putting items for too much
taking listings down make u go down rep
then when they dont buy
gave two flash drives to a scav in factory as a scav
we jumped up and down for quite awhile
ooh ok
it goes back to you with - flea
BRUH THAT'S LIKE 120K
xD
i found both in the same cabinet
i had to give em to the guy
BUT 120K
i have 7m and im level 41 idgaf
and there's me, searching for them for days now
this is why I give thme away
this pscav probably was searching for the last two weeks
to wrek pmc's for fence rep
I alread have 2.8
you're amazing sir/maam
@signal gyro filling cabinets and safes, and pc have them in front
I am friendly scav @serene reef 🙃
Best tips for a beginner for not always dying right away? I'll be a casual so I might not remember where my loot is.
Yeah I know, Found a few since I started, but now that I have the quest... hell no
i do that too
Anyone have a sec to look at this AKM for gunsmith 14.. and why its not turning in :?:!?!
this is all luck man
all I ask is once your quest is done you give them away to people inraid with you if they're your friends or wtvr cause that quest is trash
one game i actually noticed a scav player picking up a car battery
i didnt kill him
i came with him
even tho i had a mosin
i took him with me*
Nevermind........
spread the love guys
once your done with your flash drive quest give the drives to friendly pscavs
when he dropped the battery i gave him my whole loadout but the backpack
and we parted ways xD
I think i have everything right for gunsmith part 7 but it wont turn in, can someone dm me?
theyre worth 65k, i need my roubles
with a name like that i don't blame you
Gotta live up to it
@bold kernel check YouTube there are some new vids on what change it needed
start using 3btg stims for ultimate rat-tage friend
plus 10 strength so i can climb my rat spots easier
its the hearing increase i like
i heard a chad from 20m away so quietly
but wtvr helps you
literally spider senses
i thought it was outside 20m away through a closed window a child dropping a bike
tingling
xD
i actually start imagining steps whenever its too quiet
thats what I thought too
until I got head, eyes :(
i mostly hear actual things
but they're too far
or stuff in the room im in
that is too quiet for me to properly identify
therefore i fill the missing info
dude this feels so good?
buying paracords for 35k a piece?
how many sicc cases do you usually go for
i was just going for the night time scav kills without nvgs and it didn’t give me any of the kills i got. i was wearing nvgs but turning them off, was that just a bug or i need to deinstall them for the kills?
first time i'll get one LMAO
you cant wear one at all
yeah
oh lol nice
during the whole raid or can i just throw off the helmet completely when i kill
first really if you dont count me trying on 8GBS
was a week late to this wipe so lvl 30
you can run around with one, just drop it before you kill a scav then reequip it
alright thanks man
dont get head eyes'd
anyone wanna do tasks with me?
anyone from NA need a hand bored n feel like helping someone out
wanna do tasks ive been struggling on surviving my raids the last two days
you see them on factory every few raids
outside of that not really
i dont see them, I just die
fair lmao
Mate in the morning i survived 3 raids but later that day i lost all the loot haha
How would I go about attaching a scope/sight on an M4A1? I know you need a rail of some kind, correct?
Yeah
only with a few sights, just remove the carryhandle and you should be fine
So no rail for most sights then?
the prism scope can go on top of the carry handle and that’s pretty good, but if u want a short range holo just take off the carry handle and all small sights will be compatible
I like factory and want to commit as much murder as possible does anyone have tips like armor, gun, ammo really anything they would reccomend? I can hit shots close quarters but i dont seem to get hte kill and i think it is pen but i dont have flea so cant get amazing ammo yet
mp5 has a good r8 of fire
leg meta with pst gzh
can anyone help me with some shoreline tasks? i cant wrap my head around this map and the keys are really expensive
OMG
NIKITA SAID THAT KARMA IS TOO DIFFICULT TO GRIND
Today we got a new event from Battlestate Games in Escape from Tarkov. Yesterday there was an Escape from Tarkov Russian community podcast that I have translated as well. Nikita talked about all the biggest current topics in terms of development progress in Escape from Tarkov.

"Laughs in vehicle extracts"
what does the 16 excellent thing mean?
why not h e a d m e t a ?
face shields
Which ones? I'm loading into a match but just curious
true
what's a good lvl 2 trader kit for kills in factory?
why would u leg meta with pst
and no one on factory has faceshield tbh
everyone naked/shit armor
with shitty guns
factory for me is either naked pistol runners, altyon/ mascha mk47 chads, or shotgun users
no inbewteen
get gud
i havent thought of that before
so I'm on reserve in the "food storage" bunker area... is there an exit down here somewhere? lol
like an extract?
yes
just one for scav
because I lobbed a nade at two chads before I came in here, and I don't know if they're still outside
just looted a dead guy
the extract isnt far tho
its like up the ramp near where i said before
idk how his weapon is 63k
compensator, grip, flashlight, mrs, handguard, ptlock + stock, bastion.
it adds up
ill just use it ig
cause it has the worst possible
i mean
yup
btw
i run akms
if u can handle recoil
even bs or igolnik deals like no dmg
run 762x39
or if you can nato?
76251 works too :o
just if you consider the dmg
[[Ballistics]]
i see
ALSO IM FREAKING DUMB
I FORGOT TO TAKE MEDS AND A CMS WITHME
INTO RAID
ffluffing ran to crackhouse from near big red
lucky me found a bandage and meds
xD
ps ammo or bp all day m80s are still good too
agreed ap6 slapps cheeks
well
it doesnt slap heads
it literally slaps cheeks
but vector's 1200rpm compensates for it
👀
doesn't the vector jam a ton now though?
I heard guns that have a high fire rate jam more, so probably
need help doing some quests, first wipe, kinda know the maps but need help with it more/ NA, would be greatly appreciated.
gib me 3.50 usd
jammed 0times for me
in like 10 raids
was 100/100 tho
still 92.5
prob should repair
LMAO
if you kill me in a rat hole on customs just know...all my shits gammaed
Anyone got kek tape they are willing to sell?
thats illegal sir
Nah not real world trading
will trade ya one for a toolkit bud
fuck
no trading at all?
emphasis on in THIS discord
👀
That'd be too easy to just trade for stuff you need
damn i was just going for night scav kills and got my most pmc kills in a raid, usually i dont even bump into anyone in night customs but i managed to take out a 3 man and 2 solos
ah aight
👮♂️ 🚔
I'm super to new this game. I basically jumped in right away and died a few time. I bled out and have no more meds. I am so confused as to what I am suppose to do now. Please help
me when i look at your messages
time to scav a lot and use pistols only on pmcs. use your money to buy more meds. avoid fights like the plague. survive with small amounts of stuff and sell to vendors
meev how do i get good
also why are goshan lockers op
i got 2 btc today
grind factory tbh
i don't think trading is a grave offense or anything, the discord just doesn't support it because they don't want to deal with the repercussions of failed trades and scams. but if ur in a vc with someone and you both want to trade i dont think its disallowed really. (in case my interpretation is wrong i want mods to know that i have never traded through this discord)
but when I enter back into the game I am still hurt from the last time and end up bleeding out
its not heavily policed, but it would be annoying to support and also its annoying to see people beggin for trades when we're trying to help people out
scav runs. and use meds that fix bleeds if you can afford
and I can't buy any meds because i'm not level 20
i cant level up though im gated on quests
therapist sells
thanks for the help
you got it. we help beginners here, RIGHT ERVIS
so playing as a scav... I get to keep the stuff and I can use it on my pmc character?
yep!
they're in demand in high quantities. someone bought a bunch for hideout, likely
it'll equalize quickly
are there any skills worth power leveling or do you guys just kind of let them naturally progress, I was trying to get my crafting and hideout management up but it seems like its slow as hell so i might just start going money in hideout rather than craft speed
So as a scav is there a certain amount of time I have to survive in order to get back to the menu or what exactly is it that I have to do once I get some items like meds and want to get back to the menu to use on my pmc character?
i think power levelling is a scam in this game, for the most part. just make sure to alternate your hideout crafts (dont spam one, spam 2)
yeah i have been, pretty diligently too, but im only at like level 12
no amount of time. you'll lose FiR ("found in raid") status if you leave before 7 min have elapsed in the raid (never a concern on scav except in factory), but FiR wont matter to you much now.
will matter with stuff likeflash drives
that they will need fir for quests
p early
yeah but this guy just found out about therapist
:dumbcatemote:
im not tryin to drown anyone with data
wait what-
So after 7 minutes I can just quit?
not quit, exfil
extract lol
quitting is equivalent to dying
you'll need to use maps on the wiki combined with double tapping O to find out where you need to go, and go there
tuff
its a tuff game
you close your game in raid with alt f4
never with exit
i actually
did that once
you have to Escape

skill issue
So the items I get as a scav if I make it through extraction will just show up in the same stash as my pmc character or what?
you gotta move them
yep
after raid it will prompt you to save items
yes
you put them intoyour stash and what you dont put right there right then you lose
aka if you dont move the knife you had
press next
it willask you if you want to proceed but ifyou do knife gone 4evah
man reserve is scary lol. tried going one way after trying to loot my scav kills... got sniped at. went the opposite way around a building, got sniped at from trains
anyone seen this before? the extract was listed green prior to me even getting there, but i didnt see the car or any pmc's around and it still let me use the extract without a car
try rushing bunker 
woooooo cool bug
never seen it
I've seen the car at the car extract at interchange power station flipped over in several screenshots/videos though
hope i get it more often, it sure was nice being able to hear while extracting
Thanks for the help. I know they were pretty simple questions with probably obvious answers for you guys
we're beginners assistance for a reason 😄
imagine using nvg tho
they are so nice, i like the vision even more than daytime
you probably had to lower your brightness on monitor / ingame to do that 
nah, maybe i need to raise regular brightness because daytime i cant even see heads against a dark surface
Hi, when I have a fracture from the raid and I don't use the therapists treatment, will the fracture heal itself eventually?
looking for someone who knows where all the good tech spawns on interchange are. tryin gto do money runs, maybe sj6 too. im level 32 and this is my first wipe. 19yo NaW
rest space 3 removes time needed to heal negative effects
so i guess?
I see, thanks 🥰
no, I don't think it ever heals without using a splint
xD
well if I don't plan to play now, I dont need to use the splint
exactly
ty
you will get to a point where splints cost you the equivalent of pennies
haha yes
but if you're concerned on price, you definitely dont need to
wait did they change scav karma? i just killed 2 player scavs who tried to shoot me in the back after pretending to be friendly
cause my scav karma didnt change at all
i mean, i thought it would go down
i think you get forgiven for people who shoot you first now - but i also dont interact with the system
my rest space is level 3 and I had a fracture that remained after like 10 hours of not playing so I'm pretty sure it doesn't help
ooh ok thats cool that they added that in
give it 24
I don't think that's correct because with stuff like heavy bleeds, it'll tell you time to heal
like, it definitely gets there
no
I don't think there's any such thing for fractures
u cannot regen fractures
idk I'll see tmrw 
just buy a splint?
pls let us know
^
i definitely dont heal after last raid of the night
and have never come back to a fracture
but theres a chance im just not getting fractured, i guess
i def have
hey i'd be stoked to learn something
but ive never had the experience and i cant find anything that indicates either way online
I need help with Peacekeeper. Im trying to get him to level 2 but he has nothing i want/need which in turns means i don’t really spend money on him. What can i do to get to 11k$ for peacekeeper for level 2?
whats the best way to learn extraction places?
buy stuff you need from him. sell stuff to him. buy dollars. if you have flea, buy SSDs/slim diaries and sell to him
the maps on the wiki
i use the maps but i also just keep dying to scavs i dont see
that is a different problem then
lol
pay attention to where you've cleared and where scavs can be
Alright
how can damage absorbed by amour be higher than damage absorbed by body
well you missed
on factory
unless they had a faceshield ofc
isnt that what you have absorbed?
no you get info about how much dmg you did overall and overall absorbed
what cheap magazine does the sks take?
ahhhok i read it as damage taken and amour damage taken durr
or does the sks not use a mag nnormaly
It can
height over bore perhaps?
no you can remove it through inspection i believe but its a manual feed as standard i think there is anther mag though which can be attached
gen 3 hideout noises are FLUFFING SCARY
The SKS can take removable 20 and 35 rnd mags
you get a 10 internal but you can buy from i believe like peacekeeper 1 an external 20rounder
which you can actually reload like a gun not feed through top
Though the extended mags do allow toploading
they do
Hey could anyone help me clean up some of my inventory? I dont know what to sell and keep and im running out of spacer
the body isnt damaged when u damage the armor??
it a long, arduous process of checking the wiki and comparing against your quest progression. you can use a site like https://tarkovtracker.io/#/overview to help
Escape From Tarkov quest & hideout progress helper. Plan and track your way to Kappa with information tailored to your PMC.
basically, try to keep the craft items. with backpacks - shove them into each other (throw a back pack in a back pack, and inside those backpack another backpack and so on)
and with all the other shit, as the guy here said (check if items are used for quests and/or their flea price and just decide wether u actually need it or not. Its kinda a lengthy process)
Is this armour any good? How much is it worth?
holy shit lol probably one of the best armors in game
lol
I found it in a stash on customs
WTF
is it worth a lot on flea?
FR???
dude u got so fucking lucky
not joking i found it in a stash im pretty sure
damn
254,888₽
i gotta unlock flea
man I didnt even think this stuff is possible to find in stashes
so glad I recently discovered how good scav raids get, if u do the stash run, rather than just finding dead bodies and rumaging thru map in general
by the way, am kinda new to the game, and have a request of my own: I can't for the love of god find any scavs (or players lol) with toz 106 shotguns (for supplier quest), for now I only basically know customs map and veeeery slightly the factory, soo any good locations for them shotguns?
dead scavs are the best move. its an RNG thing
anywhere you find the most dead scavs
ideally you'll be killin scavs while you do other quests
is there a way to turn toggle aim off, my friend is asking
in settings controls there is an option to the right of the keybind where you can choose "continous" , double tap" etc
basically continous is for as long as the button is clicked
So i turned up my post FX brightness to 100 is it possible to make these black shadows more visible. I was killed by a scav about 30 feet infront of me that i couldnt spot for about 10 seconds. (on woods)
Is there anyway to brighten up the shadows on stuff like hillsides. They appear pitch black to me.
about 30 feet out then gain color when approching them
dont use 100 post FX brightness
Well i didnt until that happened lol
brightness in game with post FX just washes the game out, it doesnt make shadows look brighter
you need to adjust monitor settings more than anything
until I did that every map was dark no matter what postFX or graphics I used
game still looks fine, just the shadows are "shadows" and not "black voids of which my death awaits"
Is there a way i can get a key tool early on
@tepid garnet marked room
why is no one selling green keycard
Check the barters.
Does anyone know a good gun for factory at trader lvl 2?
Ok seriously why can i go reserve and survive a large percentage of the time, but i always die on customs smh
Isnt reserve supposed to be harder?
Sorry just raging
I cant get any luck on reserve
Ayo I got a question, if I for example need some item which can be bought as found in raid, if I just go into the raid with somebody as a group and have the teammate drop me the item when we are near extraction, will that item have the found in raid thing then?
If it is brought into raid it no longer has found in raid status
From my experience, that doesn't work. I tried last night with someone dropping me Tushonka we found in the raid prior and it didn't count as found in-raid.
You can go to the back of goshan in interchange and get tons of them
bruh B)
welp shit
I walk out with about 10-20 or so sometimes both small and big beef stew
Yeah, I've been running that for green ice and maxnrg, haha. It's a really helpful place!
It is indeed, I usually scav and run there between doing adult stuff and makes me enough money usually
Yeah, it's surprising how much I survive there too. I think probably 90% of all my scav runs there have ended with me leaving with a bunch of loot and no altercations. 🤔
Agreed there, it’s always safe I’ve been shot by PMCs twice but never scavs there
The flow is different
You can avoid 90% of conflict just by slightly changing routes
what's the method for power leveling with air filter again?
Leveling what
anything that's realistic to powerlevel. I forget where I saw it, but someone claimed you could max a skill like strength for example in 5 hours
more like a day i was told
But like ill be looting king building and going underground to kill raiders frequently but still dont die as much as i do just ratting customs
I saw some of pestily's video on training skills but it was more of an overview, and not a comprehensive X amount to do this cheese method
go in overweight(docs cases filled with sas/technical manual)
then run a few bars of stam
die
queue
repeat
yeah someone said within the last week the strat is to blow yourself up then keep going in raid while injured and run til you die lol
is running scavs on reserve viable?
Do i need to keep the saline solution for a quest?
you need them for med-stations 2 & 3, but they don't seem to need "found in raid" status... so you could buy it later - https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Saline_solution
anybody know if the devs have any plans on making a spectating feature so you can watch friends in game
Does anyone care about scav rep?
Oh ok beacuase i was getting a lot of them and i didnt know if it was for a task or not
Cause i just dont care anymore… thought one player scav was pmc killed him next minute 4 scavs starts shooting at me
thanks
My scav karma went to -0.33
A scav player killed my friend and i killed him back
And i got bad karma for that
Soo dunno anymore
Also today was the weirdest day
I spawned to go do the reserve bunker quest
I run to the black pawn and theres a lvl 3 guy that shot me with a idk what gun but i somehow managed to kill him with ak worth 63k that i forgot to insure
I somehow survived for the next 6mins
Was on 21 hp still light bleeding 0 meds
Somehow found a bandage
Killed a player that peeked the medic building
And then after trying to find a spot to extract died due to 0 food and 0 water
-.-
I see why people say this game makes them dead inside
and yet we always crawl back lol
If you're in an area where scavs spawn are they less likely to spawn in where you are?
has anyone tracked the advantages from scav karma you get before 6?
only 'til it kills ya! 
@short viper I’m at 1.19 lower the price of the car at customs by close to 1000 roubles
klean
and onepeg
I don't think it makes a difference. I've had scavs spawn behind me on factory. Have also had scavs spawn in near me on shoreline at the pier

Quick question, is insurance fraud patched? Do you get insured stuff back if you survive the run but dropped it?
@hoary oar found a stack of bodies in factory you murdered
why would it be patched
how do i know what to hold on to and what to sell
can i just sell everything
my stash almost full
wiki and/or ask
There were rumours about it at the beginning of the wipe, but i know it was a bug with insurance in general. A few of my regular boys started talking about it the other day and they seem to believe it is. I didn't belive them but figured i'd do some research
Save alot of stuff, Hideout and especially quest FIR stuff can be hard to find. Google a list, easiest way!
Can anyone help me get Kite gunpowders? I need them for my quest 😦
oh there was a bug at the start of wipe where insured gear wouldnt show up as insured
but it was patched within the week
so
nothing has changed
yoyo whats good
Are pc blocks my best chance at finding cpu fans?
Does it still work if i as a eu player chose a american server when the most amerivans are asleep
That i get a almost empty server
I want to run dorms marked key
yup
its really luck based
Ow
probably better than eu servers, but like... you might just end up with a sweat thats hopped up on addys gamin at 5am
Ah yeah ok
i do labs on my lunch break and its pretty dead, most of the time
well, just got killed by a hacker with eod...
report and carry on
So..
That means alot of other players
Also have lunchbreak or what? Xd
Ahh ok
I already did some marked room runs and one time when i didnt had a good spawn
Even then there was nobody
And it takes like 5 minutes to load into customs
yeah, i dont contest em too frequently
You mean you dont go to dorms?
when i go marked rooms
i dont see people there too often, as long as im there fast
both customs and rez
First time having a marked room key
Only lv 15
I was lucky that i found one in a scav vest in crackhouse
How do i do tasks?
depends on the task
theres an accept button in the middle or something
just started lvl 2 anything i should know i just got it to play with my mates and theyve gone bed idk what im doing ahahah
basically all NA players
YO i just got an error message when i try selling something that says "EBackend Error Code/518." Anyone know what this means
What stuff should I save for flea/sell to traders?
Watch YouTube
What level are you
Not you 😂 but yeah just watch YouTube guides on the map you’re playing
okay cheers
You should start on customs, do your starter tasks then learn the other maps I would learn woods second
Can anyone help me with 3 kite gunpowders on factory for a quest? PLZ I dont have the market yet and this quest is holding me back
I was level 22, but I reset my account yesterday because I was really stupid with my money/items
I'm level 9 right now
Damn I would’ve never did that shit no matter how bad I fucked up
I would’ve just scaved all day
Nah, I can get level 22 back in a couple more days
What all should I save when I play interchange?
anyone need to do some quests in factory? starting a 5 man group dm for invite.. we just need 3 more.
if i dropped my gear that's insured in water does that insured stuff come back u think ?
if you die with your insured stuff on your body, you still get it back, correct?
trying to get tasks done this is my first wipe and need some help i just cant make it out and dont know how to do some tasks
looking for a sherpa
!sherpahub
@harsh rain
Sup?
If nobody takes it yes 🙁
Thought so
trying to get tasks done this is my first wipe and need some help i just cant make it out and dont know how to do some tasks
If I just bring a sks with nothing else will I get marked for death by scavs?
bruh 3 scavs just squadded up outside of bunker hermatic door
i assume theyre raiders camping the exit
- fence rep
also do raiders give positive rep?
why is yellow key card only like 50k?
no change i think
and green is cheap
and why is the SJ9 TGLabs combat stimulant injector soooooooo much
Woah wait does it make you like the cold blooded thing of cultists?
not sure that is the one or not
but there is one that do exactly what you described
found one last wipe on cultist
couple mil
It's not the best/kind of useless.
Nah an sks by itself will kill scavs easy if your aim is good
weird i got points for it
That wasn’t the question it was if I was going to be marked for death
Imma just try it and see what happens
is it normal to spawn in and die right away as a PMC i spawned in and before i saw anything it said i died
i caught the slighted glimpse of grass and then it faded to black
just wondering if this bs is normal
need someone to help me do reserve quest i only have a marked so if you have keys would help but i have some that dont need keys im newer so i just get killed
not a potato pc for sure
if u died "instantly"
it was a lateload
only happens with a slow slow pc or really bad internet
i dont think i have either as i can run tarkov hunt and most games on ultra and be fine
im usually in the green when it comes to internet
lol I just found tagilla rig on some guy
@crisp nest i watched the recording back and it seemed i spawned near smugglers boat and got shot somewhere from the factory or where warehouse is
from one of the red lines i cant really tell where it came from the right
are there any spawns around any of those lines where they end or so?
wait
ruaf
i think the map i used can tell spawns
ok
is there any consistent way of finding raiders?
i want raider gear but every tiem i try they either dont spawn or i die before i can check
oh dang there was
can someone teach me how to play customs
what servers are you on?
^offline mode can teach customs
na
that's what i did
do you want to play customs i cant really teach but you can see what i do?
sure

when is it time to start raiding as my PMC
Anyone trying to help out on woods? Trying to do introduction but dont know the map good enough to extract, only lvl 8 just started tarkov a week ago lol
ive got customs down i think i can navigate to an exit without a third part map
although i still use it for scav spawns and whatnot
is it time to start raiding as my PMC now or continue as a scav still (my stash is kinda full though)
what should I bring should I bother insuring anything
should I be looking for weapons hideout parts rubles or what i can just get out of there
@gentle fulcrum Work on quests to level up, you can insure because most of the time you’ll prob get it back. Just get the feel for it, you always have your scav to fall back on loot wise but you won’t progress if you’re not playing as your PMC
okay the 3 times iv'e insured iv'e lost my stuff so i assumed player's were taking everything i had
train
