[velvet nimbus]

in customs to loot

I would like to keep out of the dorms and the middle of the map tho

but I only get scav loot

is there like good locations for good loot

[bronze laurel]

Fortress got some good loot. Basement of power switch hall- Greenscreen building

the building next to zb-11 also got a bunch of stuff

[velvet nimbus]

fortress?

[bronze laurel]

yea, or new construction

the big building with machineguns and grenade launchers

whatever you call it

zb13

[serene reef]

okay what the fluff xD

I had the funniest and most extreme raid so far

i found a car battery near zb11 (thats where i spawned)

i was trying to get rid of some MEH loot

went in with a 30/30 titan lvl 4 rig

and a shotty

with flachette shells and a silencer

i thought hey

i'll be like that one person here

who gave a person flash drives

because maybe they're looking for them

the 4 car batteries is imo a terrible quest xD

i had to battle like 4 scavs to get to old gas

and i meet my first pmcs

i keep screaming cease fire

they dont want to

after good 2 mins

i got mad that they shot at me

[grim fjord]

im having a really hard time getting the bronze pocket watch

[serene reef]

and ended up being able to kill em

[serene reef]

EU ?

[deep copper]

is it true you should break down weapons before selling to NPCS?

[grim fjord]

NA

[serene reef]

only if you cant sell to mechanic due to durability

mechanic doesnt accept under like 60 durability so

[elfin elm]

empty the mags though regardless bullets sell more outside of mag

[serene reef]

you can disassemble to sell parts to mechanic

continuing the story

before i got done looting

[elfin elm]

anybody want to escort me to resort? I need jaegers photo album and have been having abd luck

[serene reef]

*at this point i had a base in the old gas extract xD

[fading violet]

your story would be way easier to read if you just type them as a pargraph instead of 20 broken sentences

[serene reef]

its mostly due to me swapping armor / insurance fraud

there comes another merc

and this is where i ended up xD

[shrewd tree]

You guys think its worth buying the ultra med key rn

Its about 2mil

[indigo fossil]

can someone help me out kinda new to this game?..

[bronze laurel]

if you are going to rush ultra alot then ye

[serene reef]

xD

[bronze laurel]

that's a win

[fading violet]

what do you need help with

[indigo fossil]

i;m trying to learn customs

[fading violet]

you can learn maps easily in offline mode

[elfin elm]

if you're also using the mapgenie

[serene reef]

i think online low gear runs

with maps in firefox / phone

are way better

or scav runs

[junior rose]

firefox

[elfin elm]

probably not for a new player

[junior rose]

that guy's a fcuking maniac

[serene reef]

web browser < 3

jokes on you i run this game on 16Gbs and like 1050

[junior rose]

based

[serene reef]

nowhere near a GOOD pc

"good" tarkov wise

and i still had the maps open all the time

or tarkov market

xD

[junior rose]

when i get shot in cqc my game just freezes

16 gigs ram i7 btw

[serene reef]

settings?

[fading violet]

yeah same here

exact same specs too lol

[serene reef]

i think it's mostly about the fact i spent

4+ hours messing with settings

[fading violet]

close fights are hell for me gives me so much stutters

[serene reef]

only lag i get is when i look from crackhouse towards fortress for some reason xD

from the second floor window panes

xD

[shrewd tree]

Do you need power on for that room?

[remote onyx]

Ok so i finished another raid and got 54 BP gs 545x39 rounds

But i already had a couple mags loaded with PS gs rounds

[fallen hollow]

yes

its the one by techlight

[remote onyx]

And i don't really understand the difference

[fading violet]

they have different stats

PS ammo is garbage

BP is slightly less garbage

[elfin elm]

ps<bp<bt<bs<igolnik

[shrewd tree]

Oh there is power by techlight i didnt know

[fallen hollow]

nonon

the ultra room is by techlight

[remote onyx]

What's the difference between them? Bullet speed? Armor penetration?

[fallen hollow]

the power is at the power station

[shell sable]

i would say @bold kernel is the best reserve player ingame

[fallen hollow]

armour pen and damage

[shrewd tree]

Oh ok got it

[elfin elm]

pen, damage, and speed

[shrewd tree]

Thanks

[elfin elm]

but pen is the important one

[remote onyx]

Oh ok

[fallen hollow]

look up Tarkov ammo guide

nofoodaftermidnight has a couple good ones

[remote onyx]

Yeah thanks i didn't understand much about them

[elfin elm]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics#9x21mm_Gyurza_anchor

[fallen hollow]

i think

but make sure to get a updated one

[fading violet]

left stat is damage, right stat is pen

[shrewd tree]

Only thing that sucks is once you turn power on you gotta sprint your ass over to the room

and im not a master at pvp lol

[fading violet]

or get power spawn and camp there like a boss because you control kiba and ultra med 😎

[remote onyx]

Also does it really matter what integral parts i use in something like an akm or ak74u?

[shrewd tree]

lol

[remote onyx]

They just clutter trading screens

[shrewd tree]

Is it for a quest?

because if it is it does matter

[remote onyx]

Oh ok so it's just for niche uses then

[shrewd tree]

I mean for some guns not every part will fit

[remote onyx]

yes i know how guns work

lol

[shrewd tree]

So there is a purpose for some builds

Nice thing about the aks

Almost everything fits

[stray lance]

@dawn geyser just did as you said earlier, was able to get both done but almost died to food/water loss. Shoulda remembered to bring some, thanks!

[fringe wren]

hey im totally new just bought the game and wondering what are some stuff i should focus on as a noob

[dawn geyser]

Woohoo! Nice!

[dawn geyser]

Learning gunplay/not panicking trying to kill scavs, learning maps

[velvet blade]

bro what the FUCK I got unknown toxin near marked area as a player scav... WTF?

[stray lance]

@fringe wren personally I would say to learn maps and caches, customs is good for it, while you're at it making sure you know what fights to pick etc and learning how the different guns work

[velvet blade]

I thought they don't attack you as a fucking scav

[fringe wren]

oh okay thank you guys i appreciate it

[regal nest]

This is more for the server than the game, anyone knows how to change background on discord banner on mobile, and how to boost server and if possible can be changed?

[robust rock]

If anyone needs help with woods or sniping just dm me and Ill help you out. I have 1600+ hours and easily a third of my fighting experience is over 100m

[violet sparrow]

so it turns out that if you run through as a player scav your stuff isnt found in raid 😄

[vapid badger]

the maps that you get from the early quest rewards arent worth keeping are they?

[remote onyx]

just die a lot youll learn the reach of your footsteps and how to hear others as well

[violet sparrow]

i got an obdolbos and was like haha i need to gtfo, and got a run through ;-;

[vapid badger]

think you need certain xp or time

[violet sparrow]

you sure do, i wish i had known that

cuz i wanna do the samples quest or whatever

but running through still got me .01 scav karma so that's chillin

[daring raven]

anyone know how to do delivery from the past without getting gunned down 😦

[robust rock]

@daring raven need help?

[daring raven]

yup

[lusty glacier]

whats the most efficient means of storage that isnt a thicc case?

[daring raven]

scav junkbox

[robust rock]

items case. lvl 3 therapist like 2.6 mil in euros

[lusty glacier]

for all item types

specifically in my case, clothes, gun mods and helmets

and guns

[daring raven]

i think theres nothing for that

[lusty glacier]

that is not worth 2.6mil

52000 roubles per slot for items case

4400 roubles per slot for load bearing chest rig

but i need to know if there is more efficiency

[velvet blade]

apparently you don't need to extract for the trio quest between prapor, thrapist and skier, I died and still marked it as completed even though it has a "Survive and extract" requirement 🤔

[pure plank]

Anyone wanna help a newer player and squad up?

[velvet blade]

do scavs and bears have mutual voice lines? or they're completely different?

[scarlet minnow]

most likely you had extracted alive previously with task active

[dreamy turtle]

the barter for the i case is cheap

not the dogtag one the meds one

[lusty glacier]

still 1.5mil

eh

[dreamy turtle]

thats cheap

[violet sparrow]

i think that bears are more natural sounding like an actual sentence, and scavs are randomized and sound kinda creepy lol

that's the only difference ive noticed

[cursive raven]

get fucked

[bold kernel]

Streaming NA kickback no raging anyone wanna play??

[simple herald]

m80 or m61?

[blissful lagoon]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[velvet blade]

M61 hits harder for sure

[lofty yoke]

Ayoo, anyone actually know 'how' to escape from tarkov?

😆

[simple herald]

ok i have a mag of m61 then the rest of m80 if i dont kill

[dreamy turtle]

uninstall

[strong osprey]

this is true

[lofty yoke]

Oh I thought so, simply still trying for the META

[velvet blade]

extract once then uninstall

if you continue playing, you'll have to escape again 🤔

[strong osprey]

also true

[velvet blade]

I just got glitched into a wall 😦

I'm stuck

can't get out

[lofty yoke]

Please, Extracting is a myth

[ivory perch]

is this even worth selling if the tax is so high?

[dreamy turtle]

prob not

id just use it

[cursive raven]

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SELL IT

YOU CAN MAKE UP TO 10 MILLION A DAY USING IT

[velvet blade]

how to fucking get out 😦 I side stepped and I'm stuck

if I stay stuck I'll be MIA

jesus christ

[lofty yoke]

F

[forest moat]

hey im kinda having trouble on gunsmith part 1 can someone help?

[lofty yoke]

Its never nice to hear, but you will be missed - Once you're stuck, you're always stuck.

[alpine trout]

can I find flashdrives on reserve

[forest moat]

yes

usually in tech room

[alpine trout]

I know you can't find them attached to the PCs like in interchange

[velvet blade]

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[alpine trout]

which is stoopid

[forest moat]

agreed

[alpine trout]

hmm, tech room doesn't really help as scav

I just wanna do some solo scavs

[forest moat]

ah, best bet then is warehouses on customs

[alpine trout]

Yeah thought so too

[forest moat]

its where i get a majority of mine

what is wrong with this....

[alpine trout]

I need 1 more for this quest and then another 3

[forest moat]

f

im level 5 still

[cursive raven]

send that nitro to me

[forest moat]

doubt its legit nitro

sniffs smells like poor in here

[alpine trout]

[forest moat]

lol

[velvet blade]

thanks for the useless 45 minutes, BSG, loved them

do I need to report it, or are they knowledgeable of this?

I'm pretty sure I saw a "fixed being stuck while side stepping" in patch notes

[forest moat]

they know of it

[alpine trout]

Which warehouses and whereabouts do you find flash drives?

[forest moat]

usually admin office in big red sometimes they spawn in the warehouse near zb 2012 the one with the camera

[velvet blade]

Anyways, a quick note, if anyone is sure they'll not extract in time and will be Missing In Action, make sure to drop all your stuff on the ground to get it from insurance, if you MiA while they're on you they're lost forever

[forest moat]

they can also spawn on the tents

[lofty yoke]

Wish I had known this earlier, I've currently had a knife for about 3 hours

[bold kernel]

What are cultists?

[lofty yoke]

Like knife, fork, spoon

[bold kernel]

🤨

[olive turret]

check the wiki it has some good info

[bold kernel]

Alright

[velvet blade]

the accuracy of the shotgun depends on the buck/slug in chamber?

or the loaded ma- wait what mag I'm pepega

[dreamy turtle]

durability btw

[vapid badger]

can someone tell me whats worth keeping out of this lot. i have mp5s to use from my free gear on account

[velvet blade]

is the s performance a headshot only type of slug? it's like wack against all armor classes according to wiki

[dreamy turtle]

legs or head yea

[olive turret]

sell to mechanic x

[vapid badger]

cheers

[cobalt rampart]

i can teach someoen that wants to learn to get better and everything dm me

[forest moat]

I know now i found it on the wiki

Thanks you

[graceful rover]

aye bro tryna help me out

[ripe siren]

so i sometimes get killed when i cant even see an enemy when i am in a bush but they see me. i play on highest graphic. should i set them to low does that make it easyer?

[velvet blade]

@vapid badger also if you're having very limited space, try selling < 20 round mags and aggregate the rounds for more space

3 pistol mags are like 1 ammo stack

[bold kernel]

whats the best ammo for mpx

[dreamy turtle]

7n

or uh

pbp? or whatever

[velvet blade]

1 scav raid 😄

[olive turret]

i would have waited for flea for the sugar

sugar is like 40k on flea

[velvet blade]

I find tons of sugar in Woods

also I just gave Skier 1m RUB so 🤷‍♂️

[dreamy turtle]

tons is not enough

[olive turret]

save it and make the money after a level

[potent crater]

is light mask good for face shots or something because someone said to wear it

[dreamy turtle]

im going through like 6 sugars a day

[elfin pendant]

what should i do on interchange when i get a bad spawn like the one in between power station and emercom? its too late to get any loot from there

[dreamy turtle]

go in through basement

you can get to killa fairly fast

[olive turret]

thats a good spawn though go underground hole

you can go tech stores or killa

or kiba

[elfin pendant]

oh i dont know the way lol i guess then

[olive turret]

is it the spawn near the orange fuel truck?

[elfin pendant]

yes

[velvet blade]

is jumping during combat as effective as it is in PUBG?

[royal belfry]

if im scav hunting with punisher with 5.45, bp ammos kinda a waste compared to using pp isnt it?

no

[dreamy turtle]

bp isnt that good i think its fine

[olive turret]

its not that bad of a round honestly

at least agains l4

[potent crater]

should i wear shattered mask? what does it do and what does the scav rep thing in this update do with evac gains rep

[olive turret]

its like 35 pen or something

[royal belfry]

yeah

[olive turret]

but just tap scavs if you are afraid of wasting ammo

[royal belfry]

it just costs a bit more and i havent really moved into spending a lot on ammo yet

since ive just been buming around with 7.62 ps lol

[pure mist]

i mean on customs gotta run something decent good chance of running into players

[olive turret]

you want a shit spawn

literally the worst spawn imo

out in bumfuck nowhere

[potent crater]

should i use the shattered mask?

[bold kernel]

tagilla triggered on me without me doing anything?

[fervent bolt]

Some people say yes others will say no. I personally think its a waste of money

[olive turret]

i mean all scav bosses usually do

[royal belfry]

proximity is more than enough

[bold kernel]

ive never had that1 do it

[potent crater]

i found one

[olive turret]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics read the ricochet portion

[fervent bolt]

@potent crater sell it for 20k+-

Thats 2 ssh's helmet at a good price 🙂

[olive turret]

i thought that both of them were roughly 20k?

i dont think you can buy 2 sshs with that

[potent crater]

yah from ragman an ssh is 22k

[fervent bolt]

"at a good price" bought ssh's this whole wipe for 13k and 16k

[potent crater]

how the?

[fervent bolt]

Luck? idk

[potent crater]

no like where did you buy them? flea?

[fervent bolt]

Yes

[potent crater]

and can i wear a helmet with it?

[fervent bolt]

???

[potent crater]

oh i mean the mask

[olive turret]

no

[fervent bolt]

With the mask

You cant

[potent crater]

oh ok

[fervent bolt]

Thats another reason to sell it

[royal belfry]

im actually still on punisher 2, think its worth it to get the shotgun silencer thats like 40k so i can do shotgun headshots for spa tour and silencer kills at the same time lol

[fervent bolt]

Try to do as many quests as possible in one raid. Saves time and sometimes money

[dreamy turtle]

the hexagon is cheaper

[royal belfry]

oh i didnt think there were others

12 ga adapter +hexagon right

[dreamy turtle]

ye

[royal belfry]

express for headshots?

[dreamy turtle]

i just used magnum

[lusty pagoda]

shouldnt you use slugs

[dreamy turtle]

probs

there arent any good slugs tho

[pure mist]

ap20

[potent crater]

in this patch what was the like extract gains scav rep?

[royal belfry]

yes

you get .01

[potent crater]

oh god

[royal belfry]

ohno

[lusty pagoda]

.01 is ok lol

but it’s a lot of raids

600 successful raids for max karma

[pure mist]

use a rail then

[potent crater]

i know but was hoping for a little more

[pure mist]

and add a sight you prefer

[potent crater]

when you say it like that it sounds crazy fast

[pure mist]

ideally holo cuz it's higher

[lusty pagoda]

yeah

but it isn’t actually

[dreamy turtle]

this is what i used lul

[lusty pagoda]

u could grind it and get it done

but honestly I love it

I do scav runs all the time

[olive turret]

not counting the 1-2 rep you can get from car extract

[lusty pagoda]

yeah

[potent crater]

only...... 200 hours of waiting for scav to get back not counting the scav raid itself

[crude citrus]

damnit

[lusty pagoda]

it’s like 400 successful raids

[royal belfry]

yknow unironically

[lusty pagoda]

and those raids become faster as you move up

[royal belfry]

the top of the silencer is actually a half decent lineup

[potent crater]

oh damn that is right

[crude citrus]

anyone know a good scope for with nvgs?

[lusty pagoda]

3 min scav cool down would be op

[fervent bolt]

vudu

[lusty pagoda]

It’s something around that at max rep max intel center

[fervent bolt]

For sure vudu. best sight for night raids.

[crude citrus]

which is that?

[fervent bolt]

Eotech vudu 1-6x24 riflescope

[lusty pagoda]

lots of scopes are ok for nvg

[lusty pagoda]

it’s thermals that make sights shit

[strong osprey]

when i drop shit for scavs, they dont trade anything back. do i need higher rep with fence or am i just getting unlucky?

[fervent bolt]

Scavs dont trade

[lusty pagoda]

scavs don’t trade to my knowledge only the slight player scav might

[fervent bolt]

^^^^^

[strong osprey]

alr thanks

[elfin pendant]

i dont understand how i extract a few raids in a row with good loot (ultra medical, kiba..) and then die 2-3 raids in a row and i lose more money than i made

[fervent bolt]

Thats tarkov,

[strong osprey]

does anybody wanna run a duo raid or two? i keep getting my ass handed to me and i just wanna get a good raid in today

[lusty pagoda]

yeah I always feel like I spend less than I actually do

[fervent bolt]

You got quests?

[lusty pagoda]

that fence epsilon quest looks good but it’s locked to lvl 68

[fervent bolt]

Dogtags by that time you pretty much know labs, i sadly sold mine 5 hours before it got added

[lusty pagoda]

yeah I was gonna sell it

[royal belfry]

polveau -6 isnt too bad of a slug is it?

[strong osprey]

i need to get that office key for the prapor quest, i gotta find the woods convoy, and i think i need an armor piece for skier

[lusty pagoda]

honestly if ur going for scavs just any slug that can 1 tap head

[fervent bolt]

Sakuya use this https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics its actually life changing

[royal belfry]

yeah i know

[quartz tiger]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_12#Inspect_View

[lusty pagoda]

I haven’t even did that spa tour quest myself

[quartz tiger]

why can't i submit this

[fervent bolt]

I can help you but i dont talk in voice

[royal belfry]

man i shouldve stocked up on .50 bmg slugs

[bold kernel]

hello guys im begginner and im lvl11

[lusty pagoda]

Literally most of my quests are on shoreline and I don’t like it

[bold kernel]

im looking to play coop

[proven vector]

Hey, is this the right place to find some people to play with? I'm really new

[bold kernel]

idk

[fathom ocean]

This flea is amazing bruh thank the lord

[bold kernel]

im new to this dc aswell

[lusty pagoda]

flea is free money

[bold kernel]

well if you re looking for duo im here (i need duo in tarkov)

[lusty pagoda]

prices will probably rise on flea as more people get it

[olive turret]

still need help?

[fervent bolt]

Dogtags it will 100%

[royal belfry]

i really hate jaeger rep

.34 but i cant buy good slugs sadge

[lusty pagoda]

I’ve been stuck on the factory office one

Can’t seem to get pmcs into that area

[olive turret]

you can fight them on any of the three floors

or stairways even

[lusty pagoda]

yeah but my lobbies are all quiet now

[fervent bolt]

What servers do you play on?

[olive turret]

try changing servers

[lusty pagoda]

German italian and london

[fervent bolt]

Factory at this time in those regions are really empty

[olive turret]

or try night even

[fervent bolt]

try switching to a us server

[ocean ginkgo]

lft me and my buddy are somewhat new to tarkov

[lusty pagoda]

yeah ik at these times it’s empty but even at like 2-3pm here no one will come up to office only scavs and pscavs with the odd pmc

once in a while

[tranquil shore]

What is the best way to get kills in factory office?

[quartz tiger]

worked it out

ty

[fervent bolt]

Kill them

Bait them into the safe room and nade in while holding the hallway

[lusty pagoda]

im just gonna stack that quest with my tarkov shooter one

[tranquil shore]

ty

[lusty pagoda]

the kill 3 pmcs under 25m

[unreal horizon]

remember it's the entire top floor, staircases, and locker room

and I can't confirm as it's new since last wipe, but i'd bet the bottom area under lockers counts

[olive turret]

it does

i got all mine on bottom floor

[golden hinge]

@bold kernel #pvp-lfg is where you find people to play generally

[royal belfry]

should i be putting my money into gpus

now that i have farm

[elfin kiln]

no just try to find them doing pistol runs on interchange look at some loot guides for interchange for the spawns and routes

they are currently over 500k i believe its no longer worth buying into it when bitcoins take the time they do to produce

[deep copper]

what's the earliest you can extract as PMC?

[elfin kiln]

any time u want but if you dont want run through wait 7 mins

[deep copper]

what's run through?

[fervent bolt]

If you go through a raid to fast. It will count as a run through

You gotta be in the raid for 7 mins or get over a certain amount of xp

[deep copper]

and what does run through do to you?

[elfin kiln]

if you extract a raid within 7 mins and gain below 200xp

makes your items non FIR (found in raid)

less xp

[fervent bolt]

Run through does nothing but count your items as not found in raid

[elfin kiln]

and counts as a 'loss'/'death' on your k/d and survival raid

[pure plank]

Anyone wanna run interchange?

[elfin kiln]

#pvp-lfg you'll probably have more luck finding groups here

[alpine trout]

scaving on customs is a waste of time, always spawns in with 11 minutes left and the entire place is picked clean

what do

I need flashdrives

[jolly shoal]

hi, i asked this earlier but i wasnt sure if i got a real response to me or to someone else so imma just ask again

im lv 9 started last week, and i got this scav box and i looted all this stuff on it

should i be selling it to the traders or just hoard them cuz ill need them later?

im feared of missing out later

[fluid isle]

holy how did u get that

[robust wraith]

does anyone know how to attach n15 nightvision googles to the slock mask?

[alpine trout]

You can get rid of d batts, aa batts, matches, usb-a

at least

[alpine trout]

You can't

[robust wraith]

i could some time ago

[alpine trout]

You need the Armasight NVG mask

[fallen hollow]

you need this https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Armasight_NVG_mask

[robust wraith]

what do i mount it in now?

[alpine trout]

looks similar to SLock so you're probably confusing them

[robust wraith]

🤦‍♂️

thx

[sterile merlin]

is there a difference in magazine performance for 7.62?

[turbid bone]

just ergo

[sterile merlin]

how much ergo affect the overall performance of a weapon? In other words, can ergo take a backseat in the grand scheme of things?

[turbid bone]

its very helpful

gun aims and handles faster

[bold kernel]

hey guys i need some help with shooter born would anybody be willing to help out for a couple raids?

[celest viper]

Can't figure out what I'm missing, anyone know what it needs?

[turbid bone]

[bold kernel]

i wanna get it done tho

[fervent bolt]

Do it then

[potent crater]

[turbid bone]

[fervent bolt]

Just take your time on it

[turbid bone]

sucks that its on there

[fervent bolt]

You can get it alot of places on customs

but true

Should have been interchange or some shit to up the pvp outside off the mall

[celest viper]

no difference

[fallen hollow]

it used to be interchange

[minor lily]

it's aks74uN it should be aks74u

[potent crater]

should i grind scav rep and like set timers for each 20 minutes and factory rush evac for the small bit of rep and try and see how high i can get it by the end of today

[fervent bolt]

i know i dont understand why they changed it

[winter harbor]

Anyone know why this doesnt work for gunsmith part 1?

[celest viper]

@minor lily ah thanks

[fervent bolt]

Some were saying it was due to the extract camping but idk

[potent crater]

recoil sum i believe

[minor lily]

too broken

[fallen hollow]

is it in your stash or backpack?

[winter harbor]

Stash

[potent crater]

recoil sum and durability i think

[minor lily]

It's durability is too low

[winter harbor]

I repaired it just now and its still not workin lol

[plucky ravine]

with fletchet is it better to go for legs or thorax/stomach?

[fallen hollow]

wrong pistol grip

[turbid bone]

guns dont repair well

[winter harbor]

and the recoil it has to be below 950

[potent crater]

oh my bad

[fallen hollow]

you need this

[potent crater]

should i grind scav rep and like set timers for each 20 minutes and factory rush evac for the small bit of rep and try and see how high i can get it by the end of today

[turbid bone]

buy a new mp-133

[minor lily]

it's still too broken, it should be above 60%

[fallen hollow]

@celest viper did getting the right ak work?

[winter harbor]

got a new one and it worked

Thanks

[unreal mauve]

Can anybody help do the Jaeger unlock quest on Woods ?

[turbid bone]

what ones

[unreal mauve]

Just the initial one for mechanic to unlock Jaeger

[fervent bolt]

pickup the letter?

[unreal mauve]

yes

[turbid bone]

oh sure

its very easy

[celest viper]

@fallen hollow put the parts on AK-47U instead of UN and it turned in

[olive turret]

just use a vpo sniper with eko rounds

pretty cheap and fairly accurate

[unreal mauve]

I'm very new to the game and never played on woods yet and I get lost all the time by the time I find my way back I'll get killed XD

[fallen hollow]

nice

[fervent bolt]

Hias get the compass

and use mapgenie

[fallen hollow]

hey noreg?

[fervent bolt]

sup

[turbid bone]

i know woods well

[unreal mauve]

can we hop in a voc?

[royal belfry]

im p nice

[turbid bone]

sure ill play until your task is done

[fallen hollow]

ah my bad

[bold kernel]

im very new to the game and i just keep dying and cant find where the extract is can anyone help me

[olive turret]

Have you tried playing offline

[bold kernel]

yes a couple of times

[turbid bone]

what map?

[sterile yew]

Anyone ever had it happen where you boot up tarkov after hours away and your scav cooldown is ticking away? Logged in to find it at 3 minutes

[bold kernel]

customs

[turbid bone]

oh customs is one of the easier maps, just offline raid without any scavs

[bold kernel]

ok

thanks

hello it appears that my game wont install right

could i have some help please?

[covert bridge]

just happened to me too roach, i'm thinking maybe it resets after you install the new update

cause i haven't played since yesterday, installed the update booted up and then i had to wait 17 min

[sterile yew]

maybe that makes sense - doesn't check your CD until you login

[unreal horizon]

if you want somebody to show you around, i need to go customs anyway

[safe elk]

Imma having some issues accessing the website to actually install the launcher, anyone know a fix for what’s happened (image in #screenshots)

[azure mist]

Sometimes after a patch it happens

[elfin pendant]

bsg said they are banning many hackers everyday, but i've been running into a lot of them on interchange. i wonder how true that is

[unreal horizon]

I wouldn't doubt they're banning a lot of people

but they make new acc's, because cheating is profitable

[turbid bone]

i hate hackers i went in with a full loadout right after i got flea and got killed by a hacker

[sterile yew]

yeah, they ruin the game for everyone else

[elfin pendant]

but i thought bsg and battleye always hwid ban>?

[unreal horizon]

perhaps, but I don't think there'd be nearly as many cheaters if they did

anyways, i'm happy if they're doing more to ban people

[glad mantle]

SOME ONE please help me in im live in begginer chat

[bold kernel]

kills evil scav out of self defense, AI then one taps me

[real scarab]

if i uninstall and re install will my progress be saved?

[unreal horizon]

almost certainly

[real scarab]

i had to repair game files for some reason and its stuck at 36%

[fluid isle]

anyone down for a few runs?

[strong osprey]

what kind of suppressors could i fit to a 370mm ar15 barrel

[dry belfry]

No, your account gets reset

[fervent bolt]

Skiller nothing will happend, might have to login again but you wont lose anything

[dry belfry]

That grammar doesn't convince me that you're a reliable source

[real scarab]

ok

[timber canopy]

Advice on where to farm money early on? Lvl 9 and don't have all that much

[dry belfry]

Reserve scav to kill raiders

Reserve scav to kill raiders

Use your PMCs for quests, Scavs for money

[fervent bolt]

Get keys at shoreline

Find one ledx and you up 300k

And you have alot of keycard spawns there

[dry belfry]

So your advice to him is to sell Keycards and LedX to traders?

[fervent bolt]

why are you here trying to argue. Its advice to farm money

[dry belfry]

You want him to go Resort level 9 with no gear?

It's god awful advice

[fervent bolt]

geez

[potent crater]

should i grind scav rep and like set timers for each 20 minutes and factory rush evac for the small bit of rep and try and see how high i can get it by the end of today

[novel patrol]

Interchange scav run night time, usually quieter. Can go for barter items like nails etc., or go for food in goshan, or loot any dead bodies in the middle. Always a chill and safe run.

[potent crater]

once on a scav run they were trying to get me to kill killa for them because they didnt want rep loss then someone shot killa but didnt get the kill and the died and i was looting the dead body killa beamed and got shot from behind

[bold kernel]

[bold kernel]

hey i nned heko

*help

[unique steeple]

whats the easiest way to get tremor and do that one task?

[rough scarab]

break ur legs, dont heal it, go factory, keep doing it and dont heal the fracture

[unique steeple]

then u cant run tho

[rough scarab]

pain killers

[soft chasm]

can i join one of the beginners assistance voice chats if im looking for a group to play with

[real scarab]

would someone be able to help me clear out my stash, its full ad have no idea what to sell and to keep

[cosmic tinsel]

Yup

[cosmic tinsel]

Try tarkovtracker, or check each item on the wiki and evaluate if you will need it for or hideout. It's a pain in the ass, but it's the "optimal" solution if nobody has time

[real scarab]

ok

[cosmic tinsel]

Scavs can only find items for quests, not do quests

[cerulean apex]

is there any top fed sniperss?

[cosmic tinsel]

Mosin, m700

[torn matrix]

i need recharge batteries and strikes. do i go interchange?

[cosmic tinsel]

I'd hit cabinets for that

[torn matrix]

like reserve?

[cosmic tinsel]

Probably just any interiors for that

But noooot IC

Customs, shoreline, reserve, factory for that matter

[torn matrix]

ok

so reserve and cabinets.

customs def not enough cabinets

[cosmic tinsel]

Customs got cabinets all over

Can't go into a building without finding em

[potent crater]

when scav rep goes up what gets better?

[cosmic tinsel]

Lower cool down, faster scav case, cheaper exfil, better starting scav loot

[potent crater]

does ammo change?

can you liek elaborate on beter scav loot

[remote onyx]

Da press vest with pompon

[dreamy turtle]

i get like a labs card every 4th or 5th raid

[bronze maple]

the tan team wendy exfil helmet cant use face covers right?

[dreamy turtle]

yea it sucks

[bronze maple]

lol yea took it off a guy i killed with shitty ps 545 ammo to the face LOOL

he woulda lived if he had the black variant with faceshield

[mellow vessel]

anyone trying to link up

where should i spawn for the first time

[twin lake]

Guys just downloaded the game and one thing I never understood is what are the main objectives of Tarkov.(Besides to escape I guess) like what do you do?

[bronze maple]

loot

its just loot

[twin lake]

Ok

Thanks

[potent crater]

get rich really

[olive turret]

Have you watched any guides?

[twin lake]

Nope lol

[olive turret]

try playing offline, also have a map up when you do raids if possible

[twin lake]

Ok

Thanks

[olive turret]

scav run whenever you can as well

[potent crater]

what is your rep

[sand dock]

its a survival shooter?

[dreamy turtle]

[sand dock]

with RPG shit sprinkled on top

[potent crater]

i have .13 but cant do car evacs so what should i do to get it up? Rn i am just going to the evac immediately because of new patch thing

[dreamy turtle]

thats also what ive been doing

but i had a lot before update

cause i got pretty lucky killing players and bad scavs

[rugged solstice]

There's not much else you can do, other than trying to go for bad scavs or pmcs who've killed scavs and defend bosses.

[torn matrix]

SCAVVV BB

[potent crater]

that is the weirdest m4 i have ever seen

[torn matrix]

yeah ive done it before

its a m4 reciever and the hope is someone looks quick and thinks adar

[sand dock]

California regulations M4

[torn matrix]

308 / 315 any good?

[wide mauve]

customs 22 vc if anyone could help trying to get 3 man have two

[torn matrix]

HEY! thanks! one strike one rec reserve. off to customs now

[teal imp]

I found dropping the screen resolution of tarkov and putting into windowed mode....and then put everything you think you might need to sell in one area and then have some sort of wiki/market tool up in a browser(s) and searching that way

[potent crater]

i have 23 star slugs what should i do with them

[remote onyx]

What does the pouch do? Don't quite understand it's purpose

[dreamy turtle]

like the container?

[olive turret]

you dont lose items in your secure container (alpha, beta, epsilon, gamma ,kappa) on death

[remote onyx]

Oooh

[rugged solstice]

To store high valuable items you don't want to lose when dying. Or meds etc. Keep in mind that if you die with items in your pouch, they'll lose the Found in raid status

[remote onyx]

Ok so i just use it for water and meds

[toxic cloud]

any EU players wanna hit some raids?

[hollow jewel]

Go in with meds and good ammo in your secure, come out with hideout upgrade items in it

[rugged solstice]

You can also post in #pvp-lfg

[toxic cloud]

last time i done that i got told off because this is my first wipe xD

[dreamy turtle]

wat

[hollow jewel]

Oh that's just how lfg works, you're supposed to tell them to go fuck themselves then repost your looking for group ad

[weak wasp]

[bold kernel]

how to heal heavy bleed on head and thorax?

esmarch?

[supple canopy]

esmarch, cat, hemostat, and zagustin

will all alleviate heavy bleeds

[bold kernel]

how do i get my fence rep up

[bold kernel]

thanks

its -0.36

[supple canopy]

play your scav, extract without killing other player scavs

use car extracts on your pmc

[olive turret]

look at the fence wiki page

[bold kernel]

ty

[bold kernel]

okay

[bold kernel]

can these heal light bleed? or can i wait until light bleed becomes heavy bleed and then heal?

[supple canopy]

light bleeds dont become heavy bleeds

and no they wont help light bleeds, just bandages

[hollow jewel]

Ifak, salewas and grizzly all heal heavy and light bleeds

And afak

[bold kernel]

if u can only bring one, esmarch vs bandage what do u choose

[supple canopy]

esmarch

heavy bleed will kill you faster than a light bleed

[bold kernel]

ok htnaks

[bold kernel]

thanks

[olive turret]

those do heal heavy bleeds but i dont reccomend using salewa ( grizzly, cat, esmarch, hemostat, zagustin)

[coral pilot]

army bandage gang

[hollow jewel]

Better than bleeding out

[olive turret]

well if its desperate and you dont have the other heals then sure

but 150/400 of a salewa is pretty huge

[bold kernel]

ai-2 + esmarch loadout is ok?

i die vs pmc

[quaint void]

whats the best way to learn a new map? I need to learn woods for quests

[olive turret]

offline, and scav runs

essay

[hollow jewel]

Ai-² + Esmarch is bare minimum heals and doesn't cover light bleeds or fractures or destroyed limbs

[potent crater]

I hate scav rep so much but like it at the same time

[hollow jewel]

At least bring some pain killers or a splint for broken legs

[coral pilot]

i bring at least 400hp worth of heals

[olive turret]

and the blue or green bandage

[pliant citrus]

can some one help me chad on factories?

[dreamy turtle]

chad factory lul

asking to die in one shot to ks23

[pliant citrus]

yeah

[quaint void]

Any recommendations on low level gear sets to run? the only maps I know are customs and factory atm

[dreamy turtle]

sks

[hollow jewel]

SKS or vpo, headset

Backpack, done

[coral pilot]

no

[bold kernel]

can I let head go to zero and continue playing (like limbs) or will i die eventually?

[hollow jewel]

As long as it isn't bleeding

[bold kernel]

ok thanks

[dreamy turtle]

if any damage spreads to your head you die

[hollow jewel]

But be aware that any overflow damage from other limbs will kill you if your head is at zero. So basically 1-2 hit anywhere and you're ded

[remote onyx]

Learned almost the entirety of customs in like 6 hours but then i got tired and lost all my good gear

[dreamy turtle]

wat

[remote onyx]

What is the best beginner way to make money

Apart from farming scav gun mods

[dreamy turtle]

prob ratting around interchange

[remote onyx]

Ok I'll try interchange again and try to not die

[dreamy turtle]

learn a stash run

idk

[quaint void]

From what ive learned and have been doing money isnt an issue its leveling im leveling so slowly im level 7 almost 8 but that could be because i only know 2 maps customs and factory and i usually do my best to avoid pmcs

[dreamy turtle]

i also never did dedicated money runs when i started playing

[hollow jewel]

are you keeping up with your tasks

tasks and/or killing bosses and raiders are the fastest way to level

always go for headshots, thats almost 2x the xp of a normal kill

[quaint void]

Ive been struggling with tasks and im at the point where i need the customs key for the red building and i need to go to woods to do all my other tasks i just havent had time to learn woods

[hollow jewel]

no better time than now

gotta do it eventually and tasks are important

[quaint void]

Yeah one thing i dont like is playing by myself and learning a big map like woods is gonna be a mental struggle

[mental igloo]

how do i split stacks in stash?

like ammo nd such

[quaint void]

left ctrl and drag to new slot

[dreamy turtle]

hold ctrl

[unreal horizon]

hold control while you drag

[mental igloo]

okay ty

[quaint void]

Any tips on learning woods like specific markers to keep in mind when im wonderiing around

[dreamy turtle]

find big lake

and then you know where you are

[quaint void]

Any specific places to avoid for a rat like me?

[unreal horizon]

if you see any building in woods, you should know where you are, given the lack of buildings lol

[unreal horizon]

avoid sawmill, rest of the map is safe-ish

[quaint void]

Thats where the skav boss can spawn right?

[unreal horizon]

yeah

and just a general POI for players

[quaint void]

What items can spawn there? and is it northish of the map?

[hollow jewel]

south center

not much for item spawns but the boss and his goons have good loot

[quaint void]

would like to get the compass just to have a sense of direction

[potent crater]

I jujst lost class 6 armor to an ai scav

[hollow jewel]

you get the compass from your 2nd woods quest where you have to find the convoy

[quaint void]

Yeah i have the quest just dont know woods lol the struggle is real

[hollow jewel]

NA?

[quaint void]

Yes sir

[hollow jewel]

i can help you get that quest done after i finish this scav, if you want

[quaint void]

I do not know the map at all so you would have to guide me entirely

Ive been sitting here studying a map of woods just to get a general idea of the layout then is memorizing extracts

im gonna do a scav run

[daring escarp]

yo wtf

i got scammed

mfer gave me a broken vpo

[rustic flax]

i need to unlock jager and do the prapor woods mission
please help me

[dreamy turtle]

[dreamy turtle]

[coral pilot]

u can put on a cheap 10k pso scope and slap on a canted

[dreamy turtle]

but idk if thats what you want

[daring escarp]

yeah im tryin to find that one rn

[coral pilot]

i think its called the FFWB

forgot which platforms work on the hunter but i know u can do it

[remote onyx]

What's the cheapest sight I can get

Not a zoomed sight just a optic

[hollow jewel]

Pilad from skier I think

[remote onyx]

I've sold a couple magazines to peacekeeper for the delta sight and its picatinny rail adapter but idk if there's an easier way to not use iron sights every time i die

[remote onyx]

I didn't see that one yet how much is it worth?

[hollow jewel]

Have to finish the golden swag quest first

[remote onyx]

Oh

[hollow jewel]

I think it costs 11k

Or 12

[remote onyx]

Ok that's cheap yeah

[hollow jewel]

oh wait its 14k, the MRS from skier 13.8

but the MRS feels all kinds of weird this wipe

[crisp nest]

pk06

jaeger

its shit though

its 8k

[remote onyx]

Oh so I'll probably just stick to the delta

[hollow jewel]

ohh didnt know he sold that, the pk-06 is usable

[remote onyx]

For 20k every time i die

Anyone wanna do tasks with me? I need to do reserve and am not comfortable on the map, and dont know the map well. Can anyone who is comfortable on reserve help me? Dm me

[pliant citrus]

anyone wanna play some factory?

[hollow jewel]

what tasks are you trying to do

[warm turtle]

Could use some help with a number of quests; been trying to do them solo for days, and at this point it feels like I'm bashing my head against a brick wall.

In order of so-far annoyance: Database Pt 1, A Fuel Matter, Surplus Goods, Disease History, Vitamins Pt 1, Healthcare Privacy Pt 2, Kind of Sabotage, and Supply Plans.

Obviously I don't expect someone to help me with all of them, but good god would I love to get any of them that I can done. Just drop me a DM if you'd be willing.

[hollow jewel]

thats like... all the quests

[devout lion]

anyone wanna just run some maps for loot? down to help with woods quests, i know the map pretty well

[warm turtle]

Certainly feels like it

[simple herald]

bunker part 2, disease history, and inventory check, and icecream cones because there is always a chance to find 60 round mags

[lethal flame]

do i have to extract with the survive 5 minutes dehydrated

[warm turtle]

@simple herald the 60-round mags are easier to just build than find. I have yet to see a single one in-map.

[simple herald]

i found 2 in one raid

[warm turtle]

Luckier than I

[hollow jewel]

ill can try to help with a few, looks like you both need some reserve quests. NA?

[warm turtle]

Ye

[simple herald]

yea

[hollow jewel]

gimme a sec

[cloud sky]

hey guys i'm pretty new to the game, and i'm looking for help with a few of my early tasks if anyone is willing to guide me! NA east

im a beginner btw

[mossy vale]

How does the mechanic affecting scav boss (bneing cool with you hanging out) work? Is it a roll that increase with scav karma?

[uncut sonnet]

@empty dagger bruh

[quartz tiger]

where do you find MRE

[verbal grotto]

fort at customs usec camps at woods or any ration crate really

[elfin elm]

they shoot until you're max pretty sure

then they suddenly cool with you

[pure mist]

For humanitarian supplies?

For that quest you can just buy from flea

[quartz tiger]

oh ok

[quasi horizon]

I accidentally ctrl+click my money while I was organizing my inventory and now its gone? Did I delete it by accident?

[pure mist]

Check on your guy

Check pouch (secure container)

[quasi horizon]

oh ok found it thanks, I was accepting a quest reward and couldn't see my character's inv

[broken wyvern]

i killed the guy with the sledge what do i do with his helmet?

[elfin elm]

save or wear

it goes in the face slot

[broken wyvern]

k

[elfin elm]

once you get of raid you can decide if you actually want to keep it

or just sell it

cus it covers most parts of your head with lvl 5 armor

but back of head is vulnerable

+no headphones or helmets

[royal belfry]

is there an updated quest path image

[pure mist]

I wish they make it with headphone

At least make it viable

Like a t5 helmet with headphones but no back of head

[elfin pendant]

what are "practical skills? in the hideout it says the library boosts them by 30%

[elfin elm]

as is it's kinda fine

it's like a slightly cheaper altyn that's slightly worse

[pure mist]

Surgery

Crafting

Mag drills

Covert

Aim drills

Search skill

[elfin pendant]

oh got it

i saw theres a tab for it on the skills menu

[pure mist]

Yeah

[elfin pendant]

so they're not very useful skills

is library worth it?

[pure mist]

It’s mainly just search

Yes

The raid bonus

Big thing

The 30% or whatever raid xp bonus

[elfin elm]

most of those skills are moderately useful

[pure mist]

Big thing

[elfin elm]

they do help, but unless you're looking for the bonuses

you'll mainly just notice search

[pure mist]

Search, crafting skill are useful

I mean it’s cheap to build up a library

Why not

It’s 1000% worth it i can tell you that

[elfin elm]

oh for sure

[elfin pendant]

yeah the exp bonus per raid seems good

[pure mist]

I’d build it asap

[elfin elm]

you just might not actively notice the bonuses immediately

[pure mist]

I play labs so it’s very noticeable

[elfin elm]

welcome to the 12% of players who decide to

[pure mist]

Even just normal maps

It adds up

[pure mist]

?

[elfin elm]

over 75% of players last wipe reported that they've never even touched labs

and of the 25% that did something like half of them played it only once or twice

hence the labs card drop changes

and the free week for labs

so people could try it

[elfin pendant]

guilty here. played 2 wipes only went labs like 3 times

[elfin elm]

I magine it's higher now

[elfin pendant]

i see its full of chads and cheaters so i always think i have no chance there

maybe im wrong and i'll try and go there this wipe

[elfin elm]

nah, it's kinda full of sweats and cheaters

anybody who says otherwise is a hard ass rat

or a sweat in denial

[elfin pendant]

yeah i assumed so lol

if i get super rich i'll try it out

[pure mist]

I stared April 2nd

First wipe

I ended up doing decent labs runs

Only ended up level 48 tho

[pure mist]

There are not that many cheaters lol

I see 1 cheater entire wipe

This wipe

[olive turret]

I play on NAW so i see more

[pure mist]

On labs

I saw more cheater on ic

This wipe

People say you see cheaters every another raid on labs that’s just massive over exaggeration

[minor lily]

Yeah, I heard there is a lot of them in europe but I only encountered 1

[pure mist]

The thing is, there are 2 situations

First one is just people hear what other say

One say there are a lot fo cheaters on labs

[zinc kettle]

this is a cheaters game stop lying to them

[pure mist]

….

Lol idk where you see the cheaters every other raid

You must be that kind of people, hearing people say it’s full of cheaters and you just assume
