[unreal horizon]

Make sure you turn off postfx with nvgs

[fast helm]

its off

i wanna say its the graphic quality just can change mid game so was jw

[devout bear]

how do i heal?

[cosmic tinsel]

several kinds of meds

ai-2, carmed, salewa, ifak, afak, and grizzly all give you hp

bandages, and all the above except ai-2 stop light bleeds

tourniquet, hemostatic injector, and all of the first list except ai2 and carmed stop heavy bleeds

splints and grizzly fix fracture

cms and surv12 kits do surgery to restore a blacked limb

[crude citrus]

i found a corpse with a pillbox but i cant search or take it

whats going on

[cosmic tinsel]

bodys glitch sometimes

[crude citrus]

great

[cosmic tinsel]

yep. welcome to tarkov, unfortunately

[devout bear]

how do i escape with my loot?

[unreal horizon]

Carefully

[cosmic tinsel]

use a map on second monitor

[unreal horizon]

Double tap o to view extractions, then use mapgenie or the wiki to get to the exit

[devout bear]

ok thank you

[unreal horizon]

I'd advise learning the extractions in offline mode

[bold kernel]

this guy

[coral citrus]

What map has good loot distribution do that you aren't that affected by bad spaws

Spawns

Also servers are ducking up made me disconnect

Gg killed in action

Great

Great game

By a scav nonetheless

[unreal horizon]

Reserve probably

[coral citrus]

Lost like 200K

[unique steeple]

In what way is the ingame Bitcoin correlated to irl bitcoin

[kind sparrow]

It's not exact but when IRL bitcoin goes up, tarkov bitcoin goes up. Same applies when it goes down

[unique steeple]

So there’s no way to figure the tarkov Bitcoin farm price if u know the irl price

[kind sparrow]

You can get an idea, but exact numbers no. Just look at https://tarkov-market.com/

[velvet blade]

I can't put an EKP on a pp-19, what's the reason?

on wiki it says it goes directly

[fast helm]

Hmm seems to be fuzzy still even on high quality

[kind sparrow]

1: Does your PP-19 actually have the top rail for it
2: Make sure you aren't trying with the dovetail variant of the EKP

[cosmic tinsel]

pp-19 should have a rail i think. i think you may be trying the rail version

sorry, that was phrased terribly

pp-19 has a dovetail mount

make sure you're using that ekp, and not the weaver rail one

[kind sparrow]

Ah I was saying go the route of using the Izhmash Vityaz-SN receiver cover

and then putting the rail mounted one

[cosmic tinsel]

that is equally viable

[kind sparrow]

If it has the dovetail mount, either works

[cosmic tinsel]

wrong holo

[kind sparrow]

That one only goes on with this
Izhmash Vityaz-SN receiver cover
you need the dovetail version

[cosmic tinsel]

you want the -02

[olive turret]

i love moonshine

[cosmic tinsel]

your daydrinking is tearing our family apart

[olive turret]

I WORK 12 HOUR SHIFTS MEEV

[fast helm]

Who runs NVG's and its not fuzzy? can i get a ss of your settings im trying to figure this out

[unreal nest]

Scav karma Question:
while scaving, if a scav player, shoots me but doesnt kill me, if i kill him will i get penalty ?

[olive turret]

its JUST A LITTLE

[cosmic tinsel]

no

[strong barn]

but tegilla might still fuck you up

[unreal nest]

lol

ye tagilla is out of the question here

thanks for the answer

[strong barn]

i see a p scav shoot and hit me
deck his ass
tegilla turns; gives me the finger and gestures 'over there'
then headshots me
GG i guess

[unreal nest]

lawl

:}

I rememba when i was doing the pistols quest on Factory, ive stumbled Tagilla, and he chased me in the tunnels for like 3 minutes (eventually PMC got me)

[quartz tiger]

[slow sleet]

Yup

[quartz tiger]

gayiest update

[slow sleet]

But sub 20 will only see traders on flea

[quartz tiger]

ever

wait

what? does that mean?

[slow sleet]

So ita like, open flea to just open all the traders and u can look up a spicifc item to know which trader is selling it

No player flea for under lvl 20

[crude citrus]

Wtf

[slow sleet]

:D

[crude citrus]

so fun to just die

[slow sleet]

I love dying

[crude citrus]

with no way to even know what killed you

Or who

Cause the game locks up

honestly give me a time machine

ill go back a few years

[pure mist]

there is search bar rn

not put in use tho

it will in the future

[crude citrus]

and slap some sense into someone specific

[pure mist]

@slow sleet

[slow sleet]

Ye ye

I c

[ashen thicket]

what is the initial good standing with traders for EOD?

[slow sleet]

.5?

.3?

[unique steeple]

i just installed the filter in the air filtering unit and it says 5 minutes. its going down every second

[ashen thicket]

is it different from standard?

[slow sleet]

Yes

I think sooooo

Has to be because i struglled some as standereds

I dont anymore

[unreal horizon]

.2 rep

[ashen thicket]

only 0.2?

pfff im stickingwith standard

[slow sleet]

Lmfao

[crude citrus]

Like

I finally got another cowboy scav

then i die to lag

I really would like to smack whoever decided on unity as the game engine

[gritty wigeon]

hey can somebody show me a good customs stash route

[slow sleet]

Lol

Rat stash runner

[gritty wigeon]

rat life

[crude citrus]

Exchange is better

XD

Go scav exchange

Loot the dead bodies near kiba

then hit some stashes and gtfo

[gritty wigeon]

ok

[merry dust]

Exchange

[unique steeple]

my filter absorber lasted for 5 minutes then disappeared

[crude citrus]

As scav its not bad

but as pmc yea no

xD

Solo pmc is honestly not great on most maps

Unless you are a uber chad

[slow sleet]

Giga chad like myseld

Mhmm

[merry dust]

Exchange

[unreal horizon]

outerchange

shitterchange is also acceptable

[cosmic tinsel]

exterchange

like the mormons

[quaint stratus]

anyone got a gas any they can drop me?

[granite mica]

lol I like the pfp but no

[unreal horizon]

you should have one by default

[granite mica]

I used to have the same one

[quaint stratus]

ty, i havent changed it in a while

[rough scarab]

.2 rep is quite a bit

basically free level 2 traders as long as you get the levels

comes in clutch with jaeger too

[iron parcel]

anyone have issues downloading the game? keeps wanting to choose my ssd but I want it on my hard drive but wont download to it

[ashen musk]

yea had that issue is it just saying theres an incorrect path @iron parcel

[somber remnant]

help

[iron parcel]

changed the path to the temp folder see if this works now started downloading ofc after i say something

[ashen musk]

okay good to hear if that doesnt work create a folder on your SSD named Battlestate Games and then create a folder inside of that one named EFT then install it to that

[iron parcel]

I dont have enough room on my ssd windows is too chunky

[serene reef]

Yooo wtf

[iron parcel]

Thats why I wanted it on my HDD

[serene reef]

I went into a scav run and witnessed a player scav kill another scav

it turned out to be a pmc

i killed the scav tho

Why did my karma decrease by 0.1 tho

like

0.1?!

[ashen musk]

oh sorry i misunderstood in that case its the same process but on your HDD

[serene reef]

player scav kills were 0.05

..?

[upper iron]

pmc KILLS ARE +0.01 OMEGALUL

[iron parcel]

alright ill try that next if this doesnt work thanks @ashen musk

[serene reef]

i killed the scav who killed a pmc

but that should be -0.05 not -0.1

[ashen musk]

@iron parcel anytime its been a mini headache getting to the point of even downloading for me so figured id help anyone else if i can

[pallid musk]

everytime ive gotten a pmc kill its been .03

[dense hemlock]

if a scav kills a pmc thats not a penalty thats just the way the game goes

[upper iron]

I threw a juicy nade onto a PMC and got +0.01

[dense hemlock]

im pretty sure penalty only goes for scav on scav kill

[upper iron]

No point killing anyone at that point

[dense hemlock]

exactly

[iron parcel]

Also any great tutorial videos I should watch to help me

[upper iron]

Look at pestily, klean, tweak

people like that

Pestily always does guides and shit

[thick harness]

Pro tip, any loot guide pestily puts out just go to the opposite path because 2 million people saw taht video too and are looting that path lol. Rip goshan lockers

[cosmic tinsel]

goshans equalized already in my experience

lootable as a scav again

like 2 of my 4 times there in the past week i was able to grab roler/btc

[iron parcel]

I think ima be playing in offline for awhile til i figure out that mechanics

[thick harness]

yea its that initial week or two after he puts out a vid or says something that are the worst

[cosmic tinsel]

good move

[elfin pendant]

how can i lower recoil to 40-50?

[thick harness]

rk-1 maybe

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont think you do, anymore

[thick harness]

yea I dont think they go that low anymore

[elfin pendant]

but i remember i picked up a guys mk47 once and it had like 35 recoil

[cosmic tinsel]

pre nerf

[elfin pendant]

oh it got nerfed that bad?

[cosmic tinsel]

all the meta mutants i took off players have recoil in the 50s now

[thick harness]

see what the rk-1 brings it down to

[elfin pendant]

rk1 same recoil reduction

[cosmic tinsel]

this is the lowest one in my collection

take from that what you will

[elfin pendant]

damn ok

[cosmic tinsel]

still a solid gun

[elfin pendant]

yeah but not a laser anymore then

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[elfin pendant]

so m4 and hk are more meta again?

[cosmic tinsel]

mutants still meta

but m4 and hk certainly viable

mutant with BP is gonna be viable for a while still

[thick harness]

MDRs with m61 are the only real meta

xd

[cosmic tinsel]

priced out so far

maybe it'll be affordable later in wipe but i havent run into hardly any yet

[elfin pendant]

if im going interchange, is it worth to spend 140k to insure altyn + mk47?

[crisp nest]

i think m4 will be meta now

[unreal horizon]

ash-12 meta

[merry dust]

4 recoil is only acceptable

[unreal horizon]

with recoil buff it's a beam lmao

[crisp nest]

366 ap vepr meta

[pure mist]

been using it

with dirty cheap 55a1

[barren berry]

Among us meta

[pure mist]

mk47 not worth

better off with 103

[barren berry]

Also France labs are empty

[pure mist]

for a lot cheaper

[rancid oar]

Looking for someone that can help me go through Labs. EU [lvl40]

[cosmic tinsel]

almost nobody can do this. you're better off teaching yourself, unfortunately. are you just tryin to survive it for the guide?

if yes, i can give help later, if you're just lootin, you're gonna have to develop some crabstrats

[velvet blade]

an AI scav nearby can turn into a player scav at any time, right?

or it despawns and the player scav spawns somewhere else?

[humble galleon]

is there a picture or list of what to sell to traders pre-flea market?

[upper iron]

better silencer

oh

nvm it was on a different question

🤷

[rich hare]

are there any revolvers in tarkov cuz theres a skill for them?

[unreal horizon]

not yet

[red copper]

not yet

[rich hare]

ah ok

[lone flare]

anyone got tips to not die when doing raides cos ive ran 2 since i instaled the game i died both times

[crude citrus]

Jaeger is a picky pita

Shoot three scavs without meds

then number 5 blows my arm off

So i use a cat so i dont bleed out

task failed

:/ Smh

[crisp nest]

u dont have to extract

if u just died u wouldve done the quest

[crude citrus]

Oh lol

Wellp

Imma go do it with a shotgun then

Run to the nearest three scavs blow them too bits then die

xD

i wanted too live cause i had some okay loot

[shadow valley]

should i keep an SSD if i find it?

[young goblet]

well i would cuz spectreDR is one of my favorite scopes

but its also good money to pk/flea

[shadow valley]

oh ok

still trying to get up tht high

[lone flare]

just fucking died to a 3 stack when im solo with a ak74m ffs

[potent crater]

how can i get a gun for shooter born in heaven without flea?

[cosmic tinsel]

how the hell did you get sbih pre-20

lol

[potent crater]

idk

[unreal horizon]

there is zero point doing it without flea, imo

[cosmic tinsel]

im level 45 and im not done w it

[potent crater]

meachanic tasks

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, i'd focus on doing other quests

[potent crater]

ok

[cosmic tinsel]

if you see someone far away

go nuts and try and get lucky

(i got one with magnum buck on rez)

[potent crater]

all my other tasks are to find random bullshit and kill scavs

[mental igloo]

my freind said to wait for fla for moding quests

flea

[cosmic tinsel]

thats true

[potent crater]

could i use sks for longer range shooting but not quite 100m

[mental igloo]

its alot cheaper

[cosmic tinsel]

and honestly maybe wait for max traders

[cosmic tinsel]

sks with pso is super viable for that range

[potent crater]

how do i get pso

[mental igloo]

i found a fully moded MRD :3

[split heath]

Can anyone sell the 34mm rings for Gunsmith part 5 for less than 100k (that has it unlocked through traders?)

[cosmic tinsel]

prapor 1

[potent crater]

thanks

[cosmic tinsel]

make sure to use op-sks

[potent crater]

yah i know

[potent crater]

i wish both sks could use it

[mental igloo]

Mdr*

[cosmic tinsel]

would be nice

[split heath]

Someone bless me n buy one from trader n sell it for 20k :(

[cosmic tinsel]

[split heath]

its not trading its flea lol

[cosmic tinsel]

you cant flea items from vendor

[mental igloo]

Lol wait why is there no trading

Oo

Ya

Has to be found in raid

[cosmic tinsel]

1. mods dont want to manage arguments

[split heath]

yeah that was dumb of me

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

2. its super annoying when people spam channels begging for trades lol

[split heath]

but someone might have it

im not begging for a trade I asked 1 time if someone had one they didnt wanna overprice

[fast helm]

Weird they had zero issue last wipe with people asking

[split heath]

exactly

[cosmic tinsel]

i was here the whole time, tahts not true lol

[split heath]

100% true

[cosmic tinsel]

drops happen

[fast helm]

I was here too

[split heath]

I did this for people

[mental igloo]

O wasn't here

[split heath]

lol

[mental igloo]

I

[fast helm]

and people hooked me up and not overpricing it

[fast helm]

and one was a mod

lol

[onyx gazelle]

I guess this is why they don't want trade talk here. Yall just sent 50 messages about 1 trade request

[cosmic tinsel]

2 trade requests 😉

but also it wasnt just about them

[carmine viper]

is there some glitch for all quests not advancing because none of mine are

[fast helm]

Because the whitenight with zero power crying about being a decent person lol

grow up

[cosmic tinsel]

its about the notion of it generally bein people beggin

[cosmic tinsel]

my pmc kill quests are advancing

[mental igloo]

I'll trade u a hug for a kiss :3

[cosmic tinsel]

as of... this morning

[onyx gazelle]

50 rubels take it or leave it

[split heath]

You sit here and moderate a beginners assistance as a random pmc, we're not even asking for trades anymore, just annoyed that you talk back in a chat called "BEGINNER ASSISTANCE"

Yall mad weird anyway, enjoy suckin eachother off

[mental igloo]

Say no more 😊

[shadow valley]

can someone help me find the 3 elite pliers for the shotgun quest? i can never find any on customs

[carmine viper]

so far my jaeger food one, the skier flash drivers, and therapist gas detector ones wont let me turn in or progress

[cosmic tinsel]

if you're comfortable on interchange, theres a ton of hardware spawns in the back of goshan

[cold python]

@shadow valley they can be found a lot on interchange

[onyx gazelle]

If you're running interchange, I need scav kills and someone to watch my back

[shadow valley]

oh, damn i dont know that one

[cosmic tinsel]

are all the items FiR?

[carmine viper]

yes

[mental igloo]

Interchanges one of the easier maps to learn that's what my friend had me practice on because there's only two evacs basically

[split heath]

I find them in green room constantly

check the back rooms

[crude citrus]

i killed 3 scavs without meds was dying

[mental igloo]

Filing cabinets as well

[shadow valley]

in customs??

[cold python]

@shadow valley fortress had them too and garage tool boxes

[split heath]

Yes

[crude citrus]

then i noticed i didnt have the quest

god damnit

[shadow valley]

ah ok, ill just try my luck there

[cosmic tinsel]

do you have all the items needed for any of the quests? some of them require all items before turn in, i dont remember which, specifically

[crisp nest]

they definitely did have an issue

its been not allowed for months

[carmine viper]

for the flash drive one im already 1/2 and then I have the 2nd in my inv which I found last game but it wont let me do anything with it

[trail moth]

can someone give me a mp5 drum mag for gunsmith?

[carmine viper]

it even has the quest check

[cosmic tinsel]

can you SS your task tab?

i might try re-logging, if you havent

[soft lotus]

can anyone perhaps give me some tech support?

[carmine viper]

ill try then if not Ill take a pic

[cosmic tinsel]

#community-support is the best for that

[soft lotus]

thanks

[pure mist]

no the 1/2 means you have 1 in your inventory

you can't turn it in unless you have both

[cosmic tinsel]

^that sounds right to me

[split heath]

@cosmic tinsel Not gonna talk shit to Boasting for asking for a trade?

lmao

[trail moth]

yeah

[split heath]

we got you boasting

[cosmic tinsel]

i gave you a pass, didnt i

❤️

[split heath]

who even are you dude

[trail moth]

aight want money or an item? @split heath

[split heath]

youre some random 15 year old gatekeeping a discord

lmao

[split heath]

[trail moth]

ok

[split heath]

Ill help you out just to spite meevo

[cosmic tinsel]

[crisp nest]

thats not a trade

free isnt a trade

[cosmic tinsel]

LOL

[daring raven]

need help with delivery from the past

[cosmic tinsel]

do you have the docs?

[daring raven]

docs?

[cosmic tinsel]

you pick up documents on customs first

and then drop em off in factory

[daring raven]

i dont think so

[mental igloo]

Free is a trade in a sense that you're trading your time too actually do it

My friend was saying that reserve has a bunch of Intel docs

[crisp nest]

huh?

[cosmic tinsel]

the giver is the one giving time

[cosmic tinsel]

absolutely

[crisp nest]

giving an item for free aint a trade

[mental igloo]

You say that but you haven't explained why it isn't

Where I just explained why it is

[cosmic tinsel]

its incorrect, and if it were correct, it would be facil

[mental igloo]

@cosmic tinsel exactly he's giving the time which is in a sense of trade because time is money boii

[cosmic tinsel]

no, hes donating resources and time

[sacred folio]

anyone woods for Jager Convoy?

[cosmic tinsel]

if no luck here, try #pvp-lfg or the voice channels

[mental igloo]

It's okay to be wrong

[cosmic tinsel]

100% agree

[crisp nest]

i think you should just stop arguing and looking more of a clown

lmao

[mental igloo]

@crisp nest I literally said one thing but okay kid :)

[crisp nest]

keep on going

[cosmic tinsel]

man nobody knows what one means today

[unreal horizon]

you're so fucking weird lmao

[mental igloo]

We should all listen to people with anime profile pictures of lolis

[pure mist]

literally figuratively

[crisp nest]

lmao

my pfp is older than me

[unreal horizon]

L

[crisp nest]

im not a 40 yr old keyboard warrior

are you?

seems so

[mental igloo]

Lol someone seems to be getting a bit defensive

[young goblet]

bro sniper scav has aimbot

[pure mist]

@regal plover ?

im calling a mod

[young goblet]

i smoke 3 pmcs and then get 1 tapped by sniper scav

[mental igloo]

Lol has picture of Loli but I'm a clown 🤡

[crisp nest]

lmao

[mental igloo]

https://c.tenor.com/DFcYOSTnwTkAAAAM/take-a-seat-chris-hansen.gif

[crisp nest]

proud that you know one word bro?

[mental igloo]

? Is that a real question 😂

[crisp nest]

my dude shes older than me

🤡

[split heath]

Oh no! I ACTUALLY HELPED SOMEONE!!??!?!

@cosmic tinsel

[crisp nest]

for free

[mental igloo]

I love when they always draw characters to look like children but then give them an excuse that they're really 400 years old or some crap

[crisp nest]

therefore not a trade

[cosmic tinsel]

nice! thanks for donating your time and resources!

[crisp nest]

hahahahaha

[cosmic tinsel]

we need all the help we can get here tbh

[split heath]

whos we

[cosmic tinsel]

someone was asking about delivery from the past, if interested?

[split heath]

you act like you developed the game

lol

[young goblet]

bro ps is way to strong

[pearl solar]

Anyone able to help me learn this game?

[young goblet]

1 shot to class 4

[cosmic tinsel]

762x54?

[young goblet]

yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, its a strong guy

[young goblet]

sniper scav hit me in chest and fucking dropped me

857 for 1 tap to the chest thats insane

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd start with the pestily raid 101 video, run 1-2 offline raids, jump into a scav raid, and then hit us with a billion questions as they come up. its a long, hard road. you can also try #pvp-lfg and the voice channels, but you probably want to indicate that you're fresh to make sure people are comfortable with that

[potent crater]

im with my friend on factory scav and im gonna shoot next to someone they will shoot me and he will shoot them is this like gonna work?

[mental igloo]

The biggest thing is learning the map and the evax

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, this is the scav meta

[crisp nest]

time + item for 0 = trade

guys im a genius

@cosmic tinsel trade me red for free

[mental igloo]

Lol so late

Why u so mad?

Is it because I called your pedophile ass out?

[unreal horizon]

yikkes

[young goblet]

I cant go customs anymore the ai is insane on that map

[crisp nest]

[mental igloo]

[young goblet]

i was diag sprinting but no sniper scav is just better

[mental igloo]

[split heath]

That was LEGENDARY

[cosmic tinsel]

gotta leverage that hard cover

[crisp nest]

guys anime artstyle is too harmful

[split heath]

13 year olds ruin tarkov man

[crisp nest]

*goes back to watching cuties

[mental igloo]

I don't know when it's sexualizing children I suppose it is

[split heath]

[young goblet]

[mental igloo]

@cosmic tinsel also how is what I Said inappropriate but everything everybody else is saying isn't lol

[young goblet]

i just wish mr scav wasnt tracking me thru a wall this whole time

[crisp nest]

[cosmic tinsel]

any accusations of romantic lives are inappropriate

[mental igloo]

[cosmic tinsel]

speaking of lol

[leaden locust]

Hi there. I've just got the game. I'm really struggling in what to do. Is there anyone that could possibly help out

[crisp nest]

are you a pedo for harassing me?

[unreal horizon]

accept your tasks from prapor and therapist, then head into offline and learn maps using the wiki or mapgenie

[crisp nest]

lmao

[trail moth]

i gave him a crickent so it is a trade lol

[cosmic tinsel]

its a long road of learning. i'd start with watching pestilys raid 101 video, and then try running customs in offline raids, and focus on learning the map. the wiki will be your best friend, and we're here for questions all along the way. you can also hop in beginners assistance chats, screenshare, and ask people to critique

[crisp nest]

😮 so much loot

a crickent

xD

[trail moth]

yeah for a lvl 14

[crisp nest]

i think u got scammed

crickent is worth more than my stash

[potent crater]

you must be poor man

[crisp nest]

naw im kidding

[trail moth]

name 3 things you can do without a crickent you couldnt say one cos its that important

its worth 2 red keycards

[crisp nest]

ikr without crickent how i light my cigs

[young goblet]

yeah its just i strait up cant go customs anymore this is the 3rd time i have gotten 1 tapped by sniper scav

[cosmic tinsel]

take a break, hit a different map. gotta break outta that rut somehow

[young goblet]

3 customs runs over the past weekend

i literally can not comprehend how he has such good aim

[cosmic tinsel]

well, maybe hide from snipers more

[stoic finch]

is anyone here a quest god? im lv 32 but need a guide for shoreline and reserve lol

[ripe siren]

hey guys so i am lvl 7 and i dont use keys. but my stash has 4 lines of keys

is it still worth keeping them?

[crude citrus]

Currently with the event dont sell them

Also just do tasks and you will need some off them

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd take a look at the wiki and decide what matters to you

quests are gonna be critical

and then you might want valuable items. ledx, any military tech, marked rooms, and keycards are going to be the most important things

[ripe siren]

oke i just sold the keys i had a duplicate off

and saved the rest since i am not that far with quest

[cosmic tinsel]

perfect

[serene reef]

question

i killed a scav player that killed someone

i got -0.1 instead of 0.05

he killed a pmc as i later noticed

why the 0.1 ?

[cosmic tinsel]

he wasnt a bad scav

right?

he killed a pmc?

[urban notch]

I need help with the mechanics of a sniper

[cosmic tinsel]

sure

how so

[tranquil plover]

Shoot

[urban notch]

Bullet goes under where the scope is aiming

[tranquil plover]

Bullet drop

[urban notch]

I am in the shooting range testing it out

It is on 50m and I am shooting the first one

There is none

[tranquil plover]

Ah. It is possible that you setup your scope wrong. I am not sure how it works but if you incorrectly mod your gun, your scope is off I think

That is what I heard anyways

[serene reef]

yup he was a good scav

just where did the 0.1 not 0.05 came from

[tranquil plover]

Or maybe your scope ranging is off

[cosmic tinsel]

oh, i dont know

[urban notch]

It's so weird, Its like not even close too

[cosmic tinsel]

the first target is like, 5 meters

its gonna be as deviated as you can possibly be

go back wall

[urban notch]

But if it is too close then the bullet should go above where I am shooting

Not below >.>

[cosmic tinsel]

no, not if its before the first node

barrel is below the scope

it crossed above the scope close

and then falls* back down to zero

[urban notch]

I get what you mean

[cosmic tinsel]

zeros technically work at two ranges

so you're before the first zero

third target you go high, maybe

back wall is probably about 50

[urban notch]

Ok thanks

[cosmic tinsel]

you got it

[urban notch]

You were right man, damm.. This shit realistic af

[cosmic tinsel]

they're workin hard on it

lots of things to nitpick, but they definitely are putting in effort

[ripe siren]

what are the stars you can see on weapons?

like a yellow star at the bottom left of the weapon

[cosmic tinsel]

mastery

im not sure if theres an intermediate advantage, but at max lvl 3 you get a new reload animation and can reload while ADSed

[ripe siren]

and once you learn of an item

will it remain learned?

[gray geyser]

Like after a wipe?

[cosmic tinsel]

yes

[ripe siren]

yea even after a wipe?

[cosmic tinsel]

no.

[crude citrus]

Fucking scavs

Wiggle and the dude tries to nade me

The whole scav rep thing needs a overhaul

Cant even fight back

[cosmic tinsel]

it was just released this patch

theres time to update it

[crude citrus]

Now i have to wait till i get my scav back so i can go again

[cosmic tinsel]

have you considered pmcing

i run probably 20 pmc raids for every scav raid i do

i run absolute poverty kits

and i've got the busted up, nearly max mastery 153 to prove it

[crude citrus]

I should do another pmc raid

but i was doing scav while my hydration comes back

[cosmic tinsel]

oh fair

so part of my pmcing strats is keeping up on food and water whilei raid

kvass is like gold to me out there

[shadow valley]

is a GP gold coin worth hanging on to?

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont think so. i'd sell to flea or vendor

you can check the wiki page if you want to see if any of the barters interest you

[crude citrus]

What kinda poverty kits?

[azure mist]

I used gp coins for the thicc item case barter, pretty worth

[cosmic tinsel]

6b3tm, m32, mp153 with 6-8 shot tube, magnum buck

meds and grenades as desired

oh, face cover of some kind. no helmet.

[crude citrus]

Ah okie

Stil feels bad that its still like 100k per kit lol

im gonna go out with my sks kit again

[cosmic tinsel]

nobody will loot it

they wont loot an sks either

i prefer shotgun to sks tho

[crude citrus]

Yea i have 5 of them

[cosmic tinsel]

similar price point

[crude citrus]

Each with the same scope

so i can rotate them out xD

If i die

Havent died with it yet

Will soon probably

[ripe siren]

hey can i send screenshot here to help me what to sell from my junk box?

[cosmic tinsel]

you might get a hit, yeah

the "right" way to do it is refer to your quest + hideout progression and compare against what the wiki says for each item

[ripe siren]

do you have a good wiki link for that?

for the items to keep

[cosmic tinsel]

i just check each item

you can use https://tarkovtracker.io/#/overview

[ripe siren]

do you need to log in?

[cosmic tinsel]

no

[rich hare]

whats the max amount of dollars a stack can have?

[cosmic tinsel]

wikis got it all

[rich hare]

oh ok thank u does it also have what bullets are for what guns cuz i have so many lol

[half garnet]

how much do olive slicks go for

[cosmic tinsel]

the guns have the ammo types on them

[slow night]

if you do linked search on bullets you can find the guns that go with them

[cosmic tinsel]

this says 4.6x30 at the bottom

[rich hare]

ohhhh my blind ass lol

thank u

[cosmic tinsel]

you good

to figure out what bullets are best, use the ballistics wiki page

[[ballistics]]

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics

[rich hare]

oh ok bet

[cosmic tinsel]

more pen is better

and you really wanna have at least a 4 rating for class 4

unless you're specifically going for face/legs

[rich hare]

oh alright thank u so much 😄

[cosmic tinsel]

rating of 6 for class 4 is what i would consider a value round, and where you really wanna be once you have flea/can afford it

[fervent swift]

46x30

[cosmic tinsel]

do i wanna be semantically correct or actually correct? theres always gonna be some pedant 😉

[fervent swift]

No need to penetrate when you can just crush their entire torso

[cosmic tinsel]

LOL

[fervent swift]

It's called a joke 😉

[cosmic tinsel]

wait until you see 45acp

absolute frisbee

[fervent swift]

Javelin thrower

Tarkov is now Rust

[crude citrus]

I died

To a fucking scav lol

[daring raven]

how do i get a 60 round mag for the aks 74u

[crude citrus]

Flea

Tbh is easiest

[cosmic tinsel]

you'll get your stuff back

[daring raven]

im only leevel 11

[cosmic tinsel]

you can also craft, or pull them off of shturman or killa

its either gonna take time or skill

[crude citrus]

was just a dumb death

[cosmic tinsel]

learn from it and try and do better

its all we can do

[crude citrus]

Dont stand still and try and headshot a scav xD

Shoulda ran for more cover

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

gotta headshot scavs fast, or dont

[crude citrus]

yea xD

This dude spawned in a full green outfit could barely see him then when i did i stood still like a dumbass

Take 2 here we go xD

[tender wave]

can anyone help me out with the customs directors office key

[twin girder]

anyone wanna help me find the usec camp and missing convoy on woods?

[lean dagger]

Hello. So the last few days, I did a lot of scav raids, and filled up my entire box with stuff. I can't do anything at this point, I have 5 free spaces randomly alround the box, all the stuff is in backpacks, so I can't make any more space. But I can't get myself to do a pmc raid, because my fear of loosing the stuff, is so bad. Whenever I try to do a pmc raid, I get scared, and load into offline with bots instead... What can I do, to make this fear go away?

[opal lion]

sell it for cash?

then use that cash as a reserve to get new stuff in case you do lose things

and when you go on PMC raids, just use stuff you wouldn't care about losing

get used to losing things, then try something more pricey

[bold kernel]

anyway to level up fast?

[rough scarab]

quest

[lean dagger]

The problem is, I mostly have crappy scav stuff, so it's not eaven wort mutch. I tried to go in with just a pistol, but I sill got scared.

[rough scarab]

you gotta get over gear fear if its that bad

its just gear, scav gear in ur case

[opal lion]

Yeah, PMC raids are the real meat of the game

[rough scarab]

u can get it back easily

[opal lion]

^^^

You WILL lose stuff on a PMC raid anyway, even if you get out alive

[rough scarab]

sell or just start deleting shit from your inventory if you arent gonna use it

[twin girder]

help with early level quests?

[opal lion]

Like let's say you fired off a magazine of ammo. That ammo is gone. Or if you healed yourself and used up some meds, it's not coming back either. Either way, you'll have to get used to using stuff up and possibly losing things.

[crude citrus]

Welp there goes kit number 2

reee

Fucking chads

[opal lion]

Plus your gear is just scav gear. It's easy to get.

[bold kernel]

i cant do tasks without dying bru

[cosmic tinsel]

i die more often than i dont

[crude citrus]

Is just annoying

cause takes a while to be able to go again

[rare knot]

i need to find flashdrives for skier i have been searching since the start of the wipe where can i find some easily

[olive turret]

safes

there are like 8 or so safes on customs

[cosmic tinsel]

shoreline the goat for safes

customs ones require keys

[lethal pendant]

just curious, whats the "Unique in-game ID" thats included in the Edge of Darkness bundle of EFT

[cosmic tinsel]

a crown next to your name

[lethal pendant]

ooooooh thats what the crowns mean

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[lethal pendant]

thanks

[rare knot]

i have all the keys i have opened all of them twice

still nothing

[cosmic tinsel]

keep opening em

[olive turret]

just twice?

Safes are the best bet honestly

[rare knot]

it has a 3.85 % spawn chance

im so fucking unlucky

[bold kernel]

can you still cheese jaegers tasks like kill 2 pmcs with headshots while suffering from tremor?

[cosmic tinsel]

uh, only by dead servering it

[noble flicker]

Anyone be interested in watching a round or two of my pmc runs to give some pointers on improving?

[mental igloo]

any good thermite spots?

[cosmic tinsel]

do you go to labs? if not, you're gonna be lookin in tool spawns. theres a "combustible" spawn thats usually intermingled with tools that will have a higher chance. anywhere you've seen fuel is one of those.

[mental igloo]

i have a labs key but my freind is still teaching me some basics before going

he told me to maybe try it on a offline

cause it wont use the key

[cosmic tinsel]

any corridors you're in, if you see a group of barrels with loot on top, look on top of the barrels (in lab)

[mental igloo]

mind u im lv 7 xD

[noble mesa]

anybody wanna help me get into room 114? I need a hard carry lol

[cosmic tinsel]

pls go to interchange, then lol

[mental igloo]

thats where i live

[twin girder]

@noble mesa I have the key

[cosmic tinsel]

shelves behind goshans where'd id go

[noble mesa]

Cool, cuz i found it in the car once, and can't seem to get it to spawn again

[twin girder]

Level?

[noble mesa]

14, but i mainly just to pistol cache runs

[mental igloo]

ya my buddy got lucky and found one last night there when he was looking for fuel i found fuel in a bag in loading docks

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, are you trying for workbench?

you can probably defer until lvl 20

same for ammocase, for that matter

[mental igloo]

ah okay

i wanted for ammo case

ty

[ripe siren]

where can i buy an mp9 mag case?

[crisp nest]

a mag case holds any mag...

[bold kernel]

do sniper scavs spawn at the beginning of each raid or later on?

[pure mist]

first couple mins

[crisp nest]

beginning i think?

[unreal horizon]

supposed to spawn early, but i've seen them as late as 30 mins into shoreline

[bold kernel]

ok thanks

[main brook]

if someone in my squad dropped me something from their stash is it still found in raid?

[carmine gust]

No. Anything brought into raid by a player will no longer be found in raid

[main brook]

@carmine gust ok thanks

[barren field]

Is it possible for someone to circle where this location is on the Woods interactive map? I can't figure out what place this is. Sorry for dim lighting.

[solid maple]

anyone have a portable cabin key and can help me with bad rep evidence?

[unreal horizon]

old lumber mill, south of town in the north-east

[crisp nest]

old saw mill

[barren field]

Thank you! I thought it was a lot smaller so I didn't think it was old saw mill. Appreciate it!

[crisp nest]

its old not new thtats why

thats

[quick crystal]

Reset because I was going nowhere
and somehow got to level 2 just by examining shit in the trader inventories

[carmine gust]

Yup. That is why I treasure each and every lvl 1 tag I get. Rare as hens teeth those

[cosmic tinsel]

you're uh, really into fowl, eh?

[carmine gust]

Some say I have a fowl disposition.

[crude citrus]

did they buff scavs?

Cuase they are now lagging me aswell

[wintry breach]

Can someone help me with some tasks on shoreline? Don't know the map and don't want to be running around aimlessly

[unkempt herald]

are slugs good

they one shot right

[crude citrus]

Depends on wether or not the game wants to be played or not lol

Sometimes bullets just vanish while being shot

Other times your gun just doesnt work

Just had a 100 durability jam

and then dead

Welp

[dreamy turtle]

wdym one shot

[noble flicker]

Anyone be interested in watching a round or two of my pmc runs to give some pointers on improving?

[dreamy turtle]

sounds fun

[carmine gust]

Depends on the slugs. Most of them don't have enough penetration to get through any armor but AP20 is damn good.

[noble flicker]

@dreamy turtle lol is that sarcasm?

[dreamy turtle]

no

[unkempt herald]

I got a slug shotgun from a scav

12/70 lead slug

[naive iron]

LVL getting destroyed on Customs, any tips?

[noble flicker]

@dreamy turtle ok I'll hit you up when I get on in about an hour.

[olive turret]

look it up on the wiki

[carmine gust]

only 15 pen but it does 167 damage so it can be good for legging in a semiauto shotty.

But buck would be better IMO

[unkempt herald]

Ok

[near wedge]

anyone down to hold my hand on some raids so i can get into the game some more

[topaz crown]

need help with gunsmith pt 6

[potent crater]

i was on scav and we found killa what should i have done? I didnt kill him

[vivid snow]

I hear ya. Tarkov should come with a 6 month hand holding guarantee. Lol I'm scared to go back in and lose my last rifle. Lol

[near wedge]

bro im scared to even start

i need a pal to lose my stash with

[vivid snow]

I have made it out alive as a scav one time so far. Every time I go in as my real character I die. Lol

[near wedge]

you down to play ?

[potent crater]

how good are you?

[near wedge]

im not

[vivid snow]

I suck.

[near wedge]

only fps experience i really have is siege pubg and valorant XD

[vivid snow]

Lol. I used to be good at Call of Duty. This is definitely not Call of Duty.

[near wedge]

ive noticed lol

[unkempt herald]

Its not

You cant run n gun

[naive iron]

100% came from warzone to this.

[unkempt herald]

Also shotguns are so fucking broken

[naive iron]

Everyone sees me I see no one.

[near wedge]

that was me in pubg every game

[vivid snow]

I hear ya albeynien. I think I'm being stealthy and BAM, shot to the head.

[naive iron]

Its like I have to cross the street but 13 people heard me.

[near wedge]

well im boutta get on is anyone down ?

[vivid snow]

I would but I have never gone in with anyone and have no idea how to do it.

[near wedge]

i think i might have an idea

[vivid snow]

How do you even talk to each other?

[dreamy turtle]

use discord

[near wedge]

we can hop on a discord vc

[pine magnet]

Anyone wanna group up?

[near wedge]

yeah

[vivid snow]

I'll try it.

[near wedge]

wanna hop in a vc

[vivid snow]

Yeah. How? Lol. Total noob.

[near wedge]

lfg reserve 7

[naive iron]

ill join you guys

[slow night]

pathetic, running away with a whole 15 seconds left on the clock

lol

[cosmic anchor]

lol

last second or nothing

[slow sleet]

LM<FAO

im still workin on the shit i got

7 guns

so much SHIT

[pure mist]

no joke but 13k is kinda sad

labs been bad

even though there are quite some raiders

but loot been so not profitable

i want to go back to last wipe

where i get 1.4 mil + each raid guarantee

[normal cloud]

is anyone else having their money disappearing from docs cases? it keeps happening to me

[carmine gust]

I've had it pay my insurance out of my docs cases before.

[brittle crypt]

any good builds (preferably AK platform) for someone without flea yet? just need a gun to help me on customs. id use the sks but i cant really aim too well so

[normal cloud]

that is probably it, ty

[normal cloud]

this is what i used

VPO-136 from skier

semi auto akm

[brittle crypt]

ty :)

[tulip whale]

Once you get prapor and skier two you can also but a Zenit MB and a rubber but pad on it and further improve it, the 136 is super good in the early levels

[tranquil plover]

For Folder 0052, should I give it to Skier or Therapist?

[long salmon]

USA, USEC lvl 8 LFG to run customs for the prapor quest

[tulip whale]

Really depends on who you want the rep with, but most people give it to skier

[lean dagger]

Why can't I breach doors? Do I need to get skills, to be able, to breach doors?

[carmine gust]

Most doors cannot be breached. There are only a couple it does anything to

[tulip whale]

Most doors that say breach actually need a key to unlock them

or just cant be opened

[lean dagger]

Oh, ty

[brittle crypt]

this scav karma thing is so stupid. its either you shoot all scavs and have your karma drop or play it safe and get backstabbed 50% of the raids

[unreal horizon]

it's better than it used to be

[crisp nest]

then dont scav if u care so much about rep/run straight to extract

[ocean raptor]

What should I do with the keycards? I have 3

[crisp nest]

or run from anyone u see

[tranquil plover]

Hold onto it

[crisp nest]

sell on flea unless you arent new

save 1

save 1 for offline mode

[unreal horizon]

if you're big on questing hold onto 2, otherwise sell on flea for healthy profit

[ocean raptor]

I´m new

And I don´t have flea

[tranquil plover]

Do not go to lab in real raid

You will die instantly

[ocean raptor]

ok

[tulip whale]

I would suggest waiting till you get flea then just selling them

[crisp nest]

get good at offline then u can play it online

if u want

[ocean raptor]

Ok, ty

[tranquil plover]

Not with shit gear

[tulip whale]

You can take shit gear into labs

[crisp nest]

did i say he had shit gear

or did he

no

and u dont need good gear on labs

[ocean raptor]

and with a tank battery?

[tranquil plover]

He said he is new, with no flea market. I would assume he had bad gear

[crisp nest]

its 200k to therapist

but keep

craft car battery for a quest

[ocean raptor]

ok

[crisp nest]

or use in barters/other quest

[tulip whale]

Either sell on flea or give it to prapor as its needed FIR for a task

[deep copper]

hello all. is it still true that you should strip a weapon before selling it? I tried but then none of the NPC traders would buy my stripped weapon

[crisp nest]

fence

[brittle crypt]

sell to fence

[tulip whale]

What durability is the weapon?

[crisp nest]

its a damaged scav gun?

[deep copper]

i'm 99% sure i "repaired" the gun before trying to sell it

so, I repaired it and then stripped it

[tulip whale]

If durability is too low the only trader who will buy it is fence

[deep copper]

but it was "red" on each NPC Trader's sell screen and said "will not buy this"

[tulip whale]

scav guns have a low max dura and can only be repaired so much too

so I would inspect it to see the exact durability

you can do that by right clicking and clicking inspect

[deep copper]

thank you. one more quick question. the SKS, anytime I push R to reload, it ejects the round in the chamber

can i simply topit off without ejeecting round in chamber?

top it off*

[tulip whale]

No

The sks will always eject the round in the chamber when reloading unless you reload it without it being in your hands

IE you can pull out your melee, then manually take the mag out and put a new one in

[crisp nest]

it has 1 in chamber

9 in the mag

u can get 10 in mag if u load it before the raid

you cant get a full mag normally

[tulip whale]

No he means reloading it without ejecting a round in the chamber, whenever you try to reload the gun in raid it will eject the top round before putting in the new rounds

Only way of getting around that is running the 20 rounders or higher then manually putting in new mags

[dire lotus]

punisher part 4 can i wear armour too or just scav vest and balaclava ?

[cosmic tinsel]

can wear armor too

[dire lotus]

thank god

[brisk jolt]

i have finished the tank quest on reserve but i died so all i have to do is survive and extract so will it madder if i quickally spawn in and do a run though but survive

[dire lotus]

you cant run through^

have to get survived status

[crisp nest]

cant u runthrough any quest

[haughty girder]

I've just found a terra labs key card on a scav, what is it for?

[crisp nest]

except guide

[dreamy turtle]

dw punisher 5 requires the paca armor

[crisp nest]

entreing labs

entering

[tulip whale]

No, some do require you to get the survived in raid status, just some dont.

[crisp nest]

ah ok

[unreal horizon]

yes

[haughty girder]

I assume if I go there I will most likely die?

[dire lotus]

@dreamy turtle im cool with that at least its a little protection lmao

@haughty girder yes

[crisp nest]

yes but u can use it infinitely offline

labs isnt as hard as people think but its hard nonetheless

[tulip whale]

If you die in offline you loose nothing and can still go back

[haughty girder]

should I sell it or keep it then?

[tulip whale]

so i would keep a keycard for offline, sell any others

[crisp nest]

keep it and try labs a bit

if u dont like it sell it

[haughty girder]

it's got only one use tho'

[crisp nest]

in offline

it doesnt use it

[tulip whale]

Yes, but if you do offline its not used

[haughty girder]

?

oh ok

[crisp nest]

its offline

[haughty girder]

now I see

[crisp nest]

it doesnt affect anything

[haughty girder]

sorry for the inconvenience

[crisp nest]

np

[tulip whale]

all good lol, happy to help

if you have anymore questions feel free to ask
