It is a Kappa item.

[meager peak]

So you likely don't need it :p

[gritty flower]

oki. thx 😄

[meager peak]

[gritty flower]

[real cape]

any tips for a beginner?

Is it too late to start a bitcoin farm?

[charred crescent]

wiki

[charred crescent]

why would it be too late

[serene remnant]

how often does tarkov wipe

[charred crescent]

18k isnt that expensive sir

[charred crescent]

around 6 month, this wipe is probably going to be longer

[fervent swift]

I have no idea how far into the wipe it is and all I've been hearing is how the farm has been nerfed

[serene remnant]

oh so we have like 4-5months left

[charred crescent]

the farmed hasnt been nerfed and its 1.5 month into the wipe @fervent swift

[charred crescent]

at least 5 month yeah

[potent crater]

some guy carried me there

he was soem chad and i was doing a knife run

[cosmic tinsel]

you'll probably carry out about 800k consistently. sometimes more, sometimes less

200k of that will be in lab card

[potent crater]

I died to his last goon ;-;

wait what?

[cosmic tinsel]

been there

[potent crater]

what do you mean lab card

[cosmic tinsel]

reshala spawns lab access card like 75%

[potent crater]

oh ok

[cosmic tinsel]

if you can kill him and loot him safely

its worth sniping that for your secure container

[potent crater]

wdym for your secure container

[cosmic tinsel]

[potent crater]

[valid junco]

[merry dust]

if i trimmed it right after the end i peeked out and found different cover and i saw his red tracers follow me

[proud plinth]

No i will now. Just tried waiting it out and pretty sure i got killed by a hacker. i was in a literal no traffic zone and prone and some dude hunted me down and killed me. whatever ill try night

[merry dust]

nvg thermal idk

[valid junco]

yeah its dodge, try night time runs for tasks you can get away with bad positioning and get away easier 🙂

[merry dust]

oh wait that wasnt night nvm

[merry dust]

was it a scav cause you couldve been marked and cursed

[timid harness]

[merry dust]

im always your bait cuz youre always sniffing my ass

[merry dust]

you let me know they were there

[potent crater]

do you think if i bought a dorms marked key rn it would be worth it or should i wait for it to go up or down or something?

[merry dust]

gotta stay behind my carry

my gzhel would only tank like 3 shots max

33 hp isnt very good

i got my experience in pvp

[celest viper]

@merry dust is there a specific page for this or are you telling me to just check every quest page before selling an item?

[merry dust]

[potent crater]

what helmet is decent and kinda covers face because i dont like getting shot in the face?

should i run a zsh 2-1M

[valid junco]

tagilla helmet

[potent crater]

or 1-2M

is it worth buying

[proud plinth]

Fuck man lol

stepped on a mine

[merry dust]

nope

that doesnt let you hjear

[bold kernel]

im gonna shit on some kids on reserve fuck this shit

im tilted now

[merry dust]

although you can put a fs on it

[valid junco]

wont lie to you a helm in tarkov atm is like paper only time i would war one is is either wearing some sort of altyn or a ulach for ricochet chance

[merry dust]

welcome to the party

[bold kernel]

enjoy your money runs

act im gonna run shoreline

[merry dust]

half the time on labs everybody runs high tier ammo so just some shattered mask works nicely

but in like customs or something

ratnik works fine

[bold kernel]

shoreline is the way to go ledx gaming

[proud plinth]

how do i find fuel for this generator

[valid junco]

yea faceshields overall are shit besides the t5 or above, its more scav protection imo but yeah ratnik is fine but doesnt give face prot

[merry dust]

finding it in techinical crates, back of oli i think

[valid junco]

reserve - tonnes of yt vids

[proud plinth]

ok thx

[potent crater]

are stash upgrades worth it?

[merry dust]

i dont use ratnik for face protection just against scavs

[merry dust]

yes

[valid junco]

what ones u thinking?

[potent crater]

i just did stash 2 upgrade last night

[merry dust]

worth

[potent crater]

im on a standard account

[merry dust]

thats very worth

[valid junco]

hmmm tbh the ones after that not so much

[brisk wharf]

you need to upgrade stash regardless if its worth or not because some of the hideout upgrade requires stash level 2 or 3

[valid junco]

better saving ur money for a thicc case as it gives more slots than the upgrade

[potent crater]

what cases should i prioritize getting (i already have a good bit just wondering what i should get next and what ones i shouldn't have gotten but i dont have the mega expensive ones like thicc)

[valid junco]

theyre 12 mill atm which is cheaper than the t3 upgrade i think?

[merry dust]

i wouldnt buy a thicc

just get 35 and do therapist

[valid junco]

i would theyre just gonna go up to 25 mill again

super cheap atm before ppl make money

[merry dust]

also very true

[bold kernel]

they wont if the barter wont go up

[valid junco]

what cases u have ? it all depends how much u hold onto?

[merry dust]

theres a barter for it?

[bold kernel]

yes

[merry dust]

!wiki THICC

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Thicc

Thicc may refer to:
• T H I C C Weapon case, a large weapon-only container
• T H I C C Items case, a large general purpose container

[valid junco]

yeah but chrryz you know the game ppl get money everything inflates and ppl will want thiccs so its gonna happen

[merry dust]

o shit fr

[brisk wharf]

just upgrade to stash 2 and rest buy thicc

[potent crater]

2 scav boxes a dog tags case a meds case mag case pistol case and ammo case

[merry dust]

i mean then why buy the T H I C C from them?

[bold kernel]

gonna farm snoreline till i have 100 not fir ledx now

[merry dust]

just barter?

unless you dont have therapist ll4

[brisk wharf]

because buying 1 item is faster than buying 100 items and they do not care money

[valid junco]

i would look to get the thicc i case and the thicc w case then sell one of the scav boxes late game

[merry dust]

then how would that affect you?

just go through the time then

[potent crater]

oh

what about grenade case?

i was gonna buy one

[merry dust]

who cares if the price of it inflates if you can buy it for much cheaper

[valid junco]

because theyre cheap to what they will become

you can craft them and theyre task rewards so dw about buying one

[potent crater]

and is dorms marked key worth the price

[brisk wharf]

just upgrade stash to 2 and barter thicc afterwards

[valid junco]

just use nades as theyre op for the price

[merry dust]

only if theyre stuck in a room

huge plays if they are

or needing to clear something wtv

[valid junco]

or to get people off an angle when theyre sitting

[potent crater]

how good is sks with a suppressor and sight

[valid junco]

most op tool in the game

[merry dust]

most op tool is the sorting table pepega

[valid junco]

guns arent the op bit the ammo is

[valid junco]

true LUL

[potent crater]

ok

[potent crater]

what damage and pen should i look for in an ammo?

[valid junco]

try to go for the higher ones, what ammo do you like to use? i can tell ya

[merry dust]

above 40 is preferred never try to go below 30

[potent crater]

i normally use somethign that can kill that isnt 10 billion rubles per bullet

[valid junco]

t4 + is the way to go unless youre after flesh

[potent crater]

like for sks (my favorite weapon) I use PS

[wispy glade]

if you wanna go for headshots 35-40 is enough

[merry dust]

in flesh damage it is

[valid junco]

umm bp rounds are cheap for the 762 ammo or m80 is piss cheap for the damage bt rounds are aight for aks 55a1 from trader is 300 a round which is op

[merry dust]

I CANT WAIT FOR 55A1

300 a round is so insanely cheap

[potent crater]

how much are bp per bullet?

[merry dust]

like 900

[potent crater]

that isnt cheap for me ;-;

[valid junco]

use bp dragon its soo much better and 900 a round seems alot but if you have 10 rounds its 10k thats nothing

[merry dust]

980 lowest rn

[valid junco]

sell a scav gun you have 10k

[potent crater]

i just spent all my money for stash upgrade

so im low rn

[proud plinth]

just got slayed on reserve

[merry dust]

10 rounds ez

top load thjat

and slap

i must now regain 8.6m

[valid junco]

but you will have a better surv chance using bp rounds than ps

[merry dust]

actually 14m

this is a pain in the ass

[valid junco]

from someone who is lvl 40+ with maxed stash etc.. what i legit ran for ages was brown sks ratrig and bp rounds

and just swapped it out as i killed ppl / scavs

[merry dust]

i lost 10 stacks of 500k roubles

[valid junco]

5 milli

[merry dust]

labs money guzzle

[brisk wharf]

so I lost -0.10 for killing a scav that killed boss? okay nikita

[merry dust]

not including the price of my labs cards

[valid junco]

pain

[merry dust]

which is 3.5m

cause i bought 16 of em

or 3.7?

[brisk wharf]

nah I have 2 points extra karma so dont even care but its bullshit

[valid junco]

niceu

still yet to play my scav havent tried the karma yet

[digital trout]

@merry dust @proud plinth my raid is done, ready for those hoses if you’re still cool with it

[valid junco]

is it worth having max karma

[merry dust]

depends on how much i get paid

[brisk wharf]

huge boost to scav case timers, your scav is ready in 4 min 50 seconds if you have intelligence 3

and sometimes good gear

so yeah

[proud plinth]

Looks like i sold them 💩

[digital trout]

How much do you want?

[valid junco]

what kind of good gear?

[brisk wharf]

also you give orders to bosses and they follow you around

[merry dust]

labs cards stims all that

[brisk wharf]

most of the time guaranteed armor helmet and headsets

[valid junco]

are they cheap? or not that much discounted

[merry dust]

he meant actual gear nvm

[valid junco]

bc otherwise i would try to since im 4 from car exfils

[merry dust]

i take it back

i gotta save these i just realized

[brisk wharf]

the event is over so you dont gain that much anymore @valid junco

[merry dust]

i need them for booze and all that

[digital trout]

No worries mate

[valid junco]

can still farm it tho

[brisk wharf]

well it will take time

[proud plinth]

EFT more like menu simulator

[valid junco]

ive done grindier ngl lol its tarkie

[merry dust]

off to money making

[coral junco]

nice

[bold kernel]

i die to a dude one tapping me into my altyn crab walking down stairs

after i dropped his teammate

yeah mean skill issued

hes so much better than me

[merry dust]

chrryz has gone full tilt

[bold kernel]

insane player

[limber zinc]

Small tip of unfiltered advice for new players - stop trying to grub and 0 to hero, it’s not gonna lead you anywhere. Get comfortable with taking out expensive kits and using the guns/gear you get from raids instead of horsing them. The saying “go big win big” is very reflective of tarkov

[merry dust]

maybe you should come make money with me

[bold kernel]

hes simply better than me

nah fuck off

im not running reserve for 3 hours just for some money

[merry dust]

fair enough

[bold kernel]

ive done enough money runs in my life

[merry dust]

i need to do my fair share of money runs

and then ill fully main labs and labs only

[limber zinc]

Factory money runs?😩😩😩

[merry dust]

0 profit ez

[bold kernel]

the biggest fucking shitters drop me

like what are you fucking doing

[limber zinc]

-15k from therapist heal after getting one tapped by a Altyn wearing basement dweller

[bold kernel]

one guy lays prone on the end of the map

the other one is crouch walking down stairs

[limber zinc]

Btw speaking of therapist heal, but a grizzly off flea and use that to heal yourself instead of therapist heal, you get about 4-5 heals out of it and a frizzy goes for about 20k atm

[potent crater]

im hauling fucking 50kg of loot around oh on

[fervent swift]

Sounds like someone wants to get easy gear

[limber zinc]

Unsolicited advice so people don’t suffer like I did

[crisp nest]

lol yeah i used toz when i was new

tbh vepr km is the best gun at l1

[limber zinc]

Mp5k 😳

[fervent swift]

Hunter/sks

[potent crater]

im hauling 50kg of loot around and have been hit up so bad

[limber zinc]

Don’t die baby

[rustic ruin]

Do y'all have tips on surviving Woods? I swear to god I'm never finishing the introduction task.

[crisp nest]

hunter at level 1 hmmmm

[potent crater]

im so fucking overweight i can barely move

i need to lay down to be able to get stamina

[paper socket]

try to go around lumber mill and just keep to the map boarders and you will be fine.

[potent crater]

how the fuck did i just get out?

some dorms chad was walking away from dorms near the green thing with teh buses and i saw him and was waiting to light him up when i started getting shot at and i shot him like 9 or 10 times probably and then dies on one of my last shots but then i check his body and he has a blacked out gen 4 high mobility

and an altyn

and my left arm got blacked so much taht it got 13 hp from surgery

[crisp nest]

lol i had a 6 hp limb or something once

i kept getting same arm hit by raiders

but i had to use cms so lost lots of hp

[potent crater]

where do screenshtos go in eft?

[crisp nest]

on ur pc?

[potent crater]

mhm

[crisp nest]

into normal screenshots folder

[potent crater]

oh ok

[crisp nest]

for me at least

[rustic ruin]

WEW

Ultra med

[potent crater]

what is ultra med?

[crisp nest]

wtf

3 rare things

[crisp nest]

3mil key

[potent crater]

ok

[rustic ruin]

totally gonna die lol

[bold kernel]

snoreline got some good spawnrates

[limber zinc]

Fat med room on interchange that can spawn up to 4 ledx I believe. The key is worth like 3 mil and it’s for high tier meds as well (syringes, surv12s, etc)

[subtle swan]

hey how exactly does smugglers boat work? wiki says it isn't one-time but it also isn't always up

[crisp nest]

look for the campfire on or off

[potent crater]

yah that would mean only 1 person can take it and it isnt always open

[subtle swan]

i know that much

[crisp nest]

to the right

[subtle swan]

i just extracted with my friend though

[cosmic tinsel]

a number of exfils, like smugglers boat, have a random chance to be available in any given raid

[subtle swan]

so it's not just 1

[crisp nest]

yeah

[limber zinc]

Smugglers boat doesn’t always spawn, there’s a high chance for it to be open, which is indicated by the campfire being lit on

[crisp nest]

it is inf

[cosmic tinsel]

no, its as many people as go thru it

[crisp nest]

use

^

[rustic ruin]

yall got tips to surviving?

[subtle swan]

okay i was just replying to the other person

[rustic ruin]

im shitting my briches

[crisp nest]

dont die with the ultra med man

[subtle swan]

what's the chance? high or low?

[crisp nest]

what map

[rustic ruin]

customs

[limber zinc]

Think before you do shit

[cosmic tinsel]

avoid gunfire, pay attention to any steps, avoid crowded areas

[limber zinc]

High

[cosmic tinsel]

i wanna say about 50%

[subtle swan]

like 75%?

oh only 50?

damn

[rustic ruin]

imma go to dorms

[limber zinc]

About there

[subtle swan]

if it isn't open, should i go crossroads instead?

[cosmic tinsel]

you can check the un roadblock on the other end of the river

[subtle swan]

and that's safer?

[cosmic tinsel]

thats also only available sometimes, and has a bright light on if it is

sometimes!

[subtle swan]

i always get scared running in the open lol

level 5 moment

[cosmic tinsel]

i usually just go crossroads if boat isnt there

[potent crater]

this aks 74u is worth 74k to mechanic so do i keep or sell?

[cosmic tinsel]

use or sell

[limber zinc]

Be cautious but most of the time you will be fine

[limber zinc]

Like meevo said, use or sell, don’t keep shit laying in your stash for centuries

[golden helm]

would it be better to use .366 fmj (because of the higher damage) or 5.45 PS?

[crisp nest]

dont keep the laser on the top

blocks sight

idk how tagilla uses it

[limber zinc]

I recommend to never use fmj. Don’t let the high dmg fool you because it has nearly no armour penetration

[rustic ruin]

LETSS GOOOOOO

[cosmic tinsel]

pen is almost always king. not sure how the pen on those rounds compares, but the higher pen wins. both of the rounds you mention are rounds i don't personally use on account of generally not being good

[rustic ruin]

I got out of that bitch

[limber zinc]

Ps is there most mediocre round in the game, if you can, run bt or bp

[golden helm]

but it only has like 4 less pen

[bold kernel]

can anyone help me with my quests im lvl 8

[potent crater]

i sold it

[golden helm]

I only have tier 1 traders and no flea market

[limber zinc]

Ps has bad pen, therefore fmj would be absolute caca as anything above lvl2 armour

[limber zinc]

If you’re so set on using fmj, then shoot legs/stomach

[empty ore]

can someone help me find the usec convoy camp on woods

[potent crater]

what should i do with a blacked out hmk gen4?

[cosmic tinsel]

sell to fence

[golden helm]

Iwas just looking at the wiki and I thought it might be better because of the much higher damage and there pen being close

[potent crater]

what abourt like flea tho?

[cosmic tinsel]

hows it compare?

[potent crater]

?

[limber zinc]

They are close but both trash, use ps if you got no better variant, use fmj if you wanna leg mega people

[cosmic tinsel]

fence price vs 0ed on flea?

[golden helm]

whats a good helmet to use I've been using the ssh-68 but I feel like its bad because it only protects the top of my head

[cosmic tinsel]

thats a great helmet

i frequently skip it

not many helmets can stop pvp bullets

[sterile merlin]

what is some good ammo for 556? bp?

[potent crater]

i felt like that too but just kept using it ;-;

[cosmic tinsel]

556 you really want to be using 855a1 or 856a1 if you have to

[bold kernel]

where is the best place to find salewas

[cosmic tinsel]

probably emercom camp in woods

[sterile merlin]

kk ty

[potent crater]

ultra med

[cosmic tinsel]

[bold kernel]

k how should i play woods i hate it

[potent crater]

._.

[cosmic tinsel]

uh, avoid lumber mill, and stay moving when you're exposed to long sight lines

[golden helm]

can I get 545 PP ammo at a low level?

[cosmic tinsel]

ya. great starter ammo

[umbral shoal]

Ayo just got the emergency Factory Key

[limber zinc]

Bp, bt, bs, igolnik.

[bold kernel]

@cosmic tinsel thxs

Oh he asked for 556

Oops

[cosmic tinsel]

but otherwise completely correct XD

[umbral shoal]

Are any of these dorm Keys good? I haven't even stepped foot in there yet

[limber zinc]

Yeah dude I used to buy pp rounds from t2 prapor as a new player for ages

[cosmic tinsel]

dorm keys kinda stink

you need some for quests

i'd check the wiki to see if you need em for quests, and sell any that you dont

[umbral shoal]

Aight

[cosmic tinsel]

203 and 220 sound familiar but... its been so long since i did em im not sure

[potent crater]

im a shotgun fiend so im comfortable w that but a lot of people like longer range

[bold kernel]

thxs

[elfin pendant]

i shot someone who had tagilla mask in the face with m62 twice but they didnt die

[potent crater]

58,671

[elfin pendant]

isnt m62 supposed to pen lvl 5?

[cosmic tinsel]

thats the price to use it

[potent crater]

?

[cosmic tinsel]

m62 is basically m80, no?

like your options or sell are use

[potent crater]

well it is 4k to sell and its not FIR so i cant flea it

[cosmic tinsel]

so you can repair for that price and use

yeah

[potent crater]

;-; im basically throwing it away but seems worth

[cosmic tinsel]

fwiw, this is why its almost never worth taking damaged armor outta raid unless its fir

[potent crater]

what does that mean

[cosmic tinsel]

you see how this armor is worth nothing to you

[elfin pendant]

@cosmic tinsel look it's supposed to pen lvl 5 pretty reliably

2 shots should do it i thought

[cosmic tinsel]

30% chance on first shot

second chance will be a lot higher

looks like bad luck

but not insanely bad luck

[elfin pendant]

damn

[bold kernel]

doing the same craft over and over again decreases the points earned towards the skill?

[limber zinc]

No, longer crafts give you more while lesser crafts give you less.

[bold kernel]

i remember that being a function like 2 wipes ago

[slow night]

that’s still how it works yea, technically watermelon isn’t wrong 8h of crafting with any module will give 1 point, but also every time you finish a craft and start a new craft of a different item you will get 1 point.
so long crafts are worth more on their own but alternating short crafts to powerlevel

[cosmic tinsel]

its crafting vs hideout management i think

[limber zinc]

^^^

[umbral shoal]

Is it worth doing the Tushonka barter for BT ammo?

[fading violet]

yes

[fair bison]

There's a lot of videos up about early game barters and their value, that one is mentioned as worthwhile but be sure to save some stew for something else that I've forgotten

[umbral shoal]

You need two FIR for Jaegers opening quest

I know that much

[fading violet]

you can find like eight cans of tushonka by just combing through goshan

[umbral shoal]

Do you need them for anything else other than that quest?

I also have another question.. For Gunsmith Part 1 I need a MP-133 Laser Designator. Can't buy one though

[cosmic tinsel]

just any tac device works

[pure mist]

skier 1

[cosmic tinsel]

the tbl from skier should work

[pure mist]

the nctar one

[cosmic tinsel]

"tactical blue laser"

[umbral shoal]

Ah ok

Thank you

[fair bison]

Yeah, I don't get it. My past 3 scav runs I've been killed by player scavs.

And this is not supposed to be normal, is it?

[potent crater]

if i get a new loyalty level can i lose it?

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[umbral shoal]

TBL doesnt work

[cosmic tinsel]

you put it on a sprut?

!wiki gunsmith - part 1

Gunsmith - Part 1

Gunsmith - Part 1 is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.

[cosmic tinsel]

this has how it should look

[potent crater]

does anyone have a guide for gunsmith part 2 or 3?

[cosmic tinsel]

click the link above

and go to the next quest

[potent crater]

ok thx

[cosmic tinsel]

every quest is on the wiki

[potent crater]

yah

[umbral shoal]

So I need Jaeger Loyalty 2 first?

Damn aight

[cosmic tinsel]

a lot of scav shotguns have spruts on them

i'd keep an eye out whenever you find one

the real challenge is getting the remington tactical choke

[umbral shoal]

I got everything except the mount

[cosmic tinsel]

'

oh dang

yeah, look at scav shotguns then

even run your player scav

[potent crater]

how can i get two more ergo on my aks-74u

[cerulean apex]

@potent crater share ur screen to me

[potent crater]

like screenshot?

[brisk wharf]

stock + Recoil pad

[fading violet]

you can get the charging handle cover for +1 ergo as well

[elfin pendant]

the baby mosin also counts as a sniper right? for the sniper levelling quest

[slow night]

yes

[hearty iris]

could anyone help me learn extract locals?

the got me fucked up

[bold kernel]

ppl 4 manning night time raids got me fucked up

[cosmic tinsel]

i ran into a solo, a 2 man, and a 4 man back to back on night customs last night

the 4 man did weird corner huggin stuff and used their first 2 as bait D:

[bold kernel]

this is the third time that i died to desync in a row

these mfs are literally killing me behind corner

[visual canyon]

if i dont have a gun should i buy one or look for one

[livid prism]

Big Customer - Chemical Part 4 - Out of curiosity
Which quest do I complete the best? Does accepting one makes that I can't do some other quests or does failing the quest is just the penalty?

[hot tree]

accepting one means the other ones will get low rep thus downgrading trader level

you will get another quest later to get the rep back

depends on who you give it to

[livid prism]

and is there a "best" choice? I tend to go for prapor because I want those ammo cases (only lvl 16 now)

[cosmic tinsel]

no best choice. pick the one that feels the best to you, and keep in mind that rep debuff might lower a trader level

[livid prism]

I looked at the quest that unlock and if I chose prapor I can instantly (?) regain the trust of the others because I can instant complete the newly unlocked tasks

thanks for the help guys

[visual canyon]

car key keep or toss

[hot tree]

which one

the pocket watch one

if you done it already you dont need it anymore

[visual canyon]

no

i havent done any quests yet

i got one from a jacket

looks like a key

[hot tree]

@visual canyon send a screenshot or the name of the key

there is like 2 car keys i know
one is for a quest and the another is idk

[visual canyon]

its in the screenshots

[potent crater]

are BP good to run for my SKS with a suppressor and sight?

[tropic sonnet]

what does old firesteel do?
is it important?

[dreamy turtle]

kappa item

[tropic sonnet]

is that a quest?

im only lvl 4

[potent crater]

kappa is the biggest secure conatainer in the game that you get after doing every quest

[tropic sonnet]

oh well im pretty far off that lol

[potent crater]

yah just to get the quest you need to be lvl 71

should i run bp for my sks or different ammo?

[tropic sonnet]

oh haha also i dont know what ammo is good so i cant answer that

[sterile merlin]

is there anything special i need to do in order to reconnect to a session?

it keeps saying session timedout or connection loss and I'll lose my stuff

or do i just have to accept that its gone?

[kindred shell]

easiest way to get the pain condition?

[stone apex]

I used to get friends to shoot me with pistols

Or u could jump off a high place

[kindred shell]

true

ill give that a shot

[stone apex]

👍

[kindred shell]

my scav doesnt have a gun lol

is that normal?

[wary valley]

any tips on getting these

[kindred shell]

stashes

and weapon boxes

look up stash hideouts on woods and grind that shit g

[deep copper]

do scav AIs care about sound?

[kindred shell]

i think so

[deep copper]

do i need to sneak around them or do they only use vision

[wary valley]

tbh

per experience not 100%

[kindred shell]

pretty sure they use sound

[wary valley]

they care about gunshots

[kindred shell]

yea gunshots 100% makes sense

[wary valley]

and if u shoot at them from far enough it doesn't amtter if u miss

[kindred shell]

scavs are weird tho

[wary valley]

yeah

i have in more then one ocasion let them pass directly through me

and they ignored me lmao

[kindred shell]

yea in dorms i had a few occasions where i bumped into them and they just look at me

and sometimes scavs will just insta headshot you

[bold kernel]

Anyone experienced who want to help me hunt Killa (Just 1 kill), Reshala (Guards, don't need him) or Sanitar? - Not expecting carry, will bring good gear.

[median loom]

anyone who is looking for help on Tarkov add this discord: Quarmua#9999

new players are welcome

[cosmic tinsel]

advise new players to do all initial learning here, and use screen recording 😄

[median loom]

yes

[floral gyro]

I'm pretty down bad rn as I dont have shit for money but anyone want to help me do a few quests or something so I can go geared reserve runs for marked and raiders/gluhar?

[proud plinth]

just found a GP coin

[potent crater]

what is the most efficent way to increase stam like sprint jumping? sprinting? just jumping?

[median loom]

Quarmua#9999. This guy is really good and willing to help people

[visual canyon]

is fmj ammo good

[potent crater]

not really

[visual canyon]

ok

[unreal horizon]

what caliber lmao

[static hill]

Hey so, I’ve been interested in this game for a while now, I’m on day 3 playing and I kinda got a grasp of how to play. I’m looking for help to learn more of what I’m doing, why and how to improve it. So far I been playing Scav For Factory just to keep a load out 80%. And offline Interchange learning that mess of a goldmine. Already died 8times online and not understanding what I’m missing here.

[unreal horizon]

not really doing anything wrong

[potent crater]

we could play sometime

[unreal horizon]

everyone dies a ton

[pure mist]

dying is natural

[potent crater]

if you are NAE

[unreal horizon]

just how it goes

[visual canyon]

two kills on first custom runs

im panicking ;-;

[deep copper]

"RMed" ?

[floral gyro]

ricochet chance: medium @deep copper

[static hill]

Ahh okay so death is inevitable

[unreal horizon]

you'll die more than you survive

just the game

[knotty bough]

Im trying to look for someone else to play with im 7 so im decent

[static hill]

Imean if you willing to support my cause I’m willing to play

I have 2 checkpoint keys and don’t know what to do with em

Thinking on selling

[cosmic blaze]

hey i did this recently, i crafted them in the hideout with lavatory lvl 2. was easier than finding these

the recipe was kek tape and 4 30 rnd mags

not too bad

[hearty token]

hey, my friends recommended me to start with learning customs

now im comfortable with customs, but the loot isnt that good i realized

why do people recommend this map?

[cosmic blaze]

customs loot is very decent

where are you looking

[hearty token]

guess im just shit

i tend to try and find caches and check dorms

because the warehouses are usually empty

[steel siren]

I keep trying to run interchange scav and low geared PMC to collect hideout loot and i just get fucked

usually 1 or 2 people in the dark somewhere that destroy me

[cosmic blaze]

heres where i usually go

obviously hit stashes on your way

honestly i avoid dorms if i can help it

not usually worth it unless your going marked

[wary valley]

check da crackhouse

[unreal horizon]

customs is pretty good

[static hill]

I wanna learn reserves, but all the exit Ik are co op Scav

[unreal horizon]

crack, fortress, 3 buildings around boilers will fill you

[fleet garnet]

Hey yall. Beginner here, just started yesterday. Been playing customs on offline mode to get use to the map, but been seriously struggling as I'm navigationally handicap. Any advice?

[cosmic blaze]

Are you using mapgenie to help you?

[fleet garnet]

Just some screenshots I've found online. I feel like after about 5-6 hours of playing I've only come to understand about 30% of the map

[cosmic blaze]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs

[unreal horizon]

just use good maps, wiki and mapgenie are greaat

[cosmic blaze]

use this and press hide all

honestly customs is probably the easiest map to know where you are

[short ginkgo]

how to get bronze pocket watch

i need a key, but i cant get it, im always dying

[proud plinth]

Key is in dorms

tons of YT vids

[short ginkgo]

yeah and im dying there

[proud plinth]

ive yet to grab the watch but i have the key

try as a scav

[short ginkgo]

i tried

[proud plinth]

or go at the very end of a raid

[short ginkgo]

ok ill try

[proud plinth]

i think i grabbed mine as a scav i got the dorm spawn and ran right in and out

[calm jungle]

I need a carry on interchange

you can keep all loot. I'm trying to do a quest

[alpine trout]

Yo what's the actual time required to not get a run through

if you get no xp

10 minutes or 7?

I've heard both

[calm jungle]

10 mins I believe

[umbral shoal]

I've only heard 7

[bold kernel]

7 minutes

[alpine trout]

[calm jungle]

the wiki says 7 mins

I need a carry on interchange. You can keep all loot. I'm trying to do a quest

[short ginkgo]

thanks it worked

[proud plinth]

no problem

[bold kernel]

murdering pscavs on factory as a scav to yoink their ll4 fence items

[proud plinth]

and if you have trouble with the woods quest to find jaeger do it at night

stash space is a real problem

damn man

[short ginkgo]

is there a way to get boxes at the beginning ? i have standard game version

[bold kernel]

never needed a box

learn what u should keep and what u shouldnt

[knotty bough]

Im trying to look for someone else to play with im level 7 so im decent

[short ginkgo]

idk what i need

wanna see my inventory ?

[proud plinth]

i want to upgrade but i dont want to reset

[strong barn]

It doesnt reset anything when you upgrade

you get the items your missing between your version and the one your upgrading to in a message from prapor like insurance
and you get a case added to your stash like--gamma or beta wtvr you upgrade too

[proud plinth]

oooo

so it doesnt reset my tasks

[short ginkgo]

yes

[strong barn]

no sir :D

[short ginkgo]

even i know that

[proud plinth]

i may do it then

[strong barn]

progress remains the same until a wipe; even if you upgrade

[proud plinth]

i just want the bigger stash and secure container

[short ginkgo]

u know that in russia, the edge of darkness edition costs only 80$

[blazing vapor]

i just started the game so whats a hideout? my friend said to get it upgraded or smt

[crisp nest]

u literally see it in main menu

[umbral shoal]

Yeah

It's basically just upgrades to make things simpler

[crisp nest]

and crafting

ezzzz $$$

[earnest sparrow]

someone told me if you dont upgrade you'll get raided and lose items?

[crisp nest]

no lmao

[earnest sparrow]

looool

[proud plinth]

lmaoo

troll

[earnest sparrow]

big f

[crisp nest]

aint rust here

[umbral shoal]

lmaoooo

[earnest sparrow]

ok bro

beginners assistance for something i think

[short ginkgo]

u know that 35 $ edition is kinda interesting tho, because its kinda cool to manage all the items

[bold kernel]

mr killa doesnt exist anymore hes on vacation

[crisp nest]

not for trolling i think

[proud plinth]

ok i upgraded

now what

[earnest sparrow]

i got trolled and ur acting weird ok broooo :p

[umbral shoal]

^^

[crisp nest]

heard of google?

[upbeat basin]

Remember you can always put shit in backpacks

[short ginkgo]

upgrade me too

[earnest sparrow]

thats why i put a '?' because i literally didnt know

[upbeat basin]

and always fold your weapons if you can

[earnest sparrow]

why are you being so rude lol?

[upbeat basin]

Usually saves a slot or 2

[earnest sparrow]

having a bad day ?

[crisp nest]

its true?

[proud plinth]

yeah i know

[crisp nest]

ask anyone who gives advice

first tip

use the wiki

maybe dont be so dependent on people answering

[earnest sparrow]

you could say that otherwise too 🙂

[short ginkgo]

this is only 1 backpack

[proud plinth]

the wiki is badass

[unreal horizon]

use wiki, its ez

[earnest sparrow]

yeah will do

[bold kernel]

that alot of shit mags

but u gotta use what u can use

[short ginkgo]

i dont care

if i need space ill sell them

[bold kernel]

didnt have to come at me like that

[earnest sparrow]

whihch ones are shit?

[spice dock]

This okay build?

Or what should I change?

[bold kernel]

all of them but mags dont make much of a difference

[bold kernel]

oh boy what is that

[sick egret]

idkw hat i'm doing

[bold kernel]

dont run that thing

[wraith agate]

Yeah, mags really don't make a difference. Wouldn't worry about mags at all

[bold kernel]

an stock ak will do u better

[earnest sparrow]

thank u was keeping all my mags but imma sell

[sick egret]

I got the game cause friends told me to get it, and I have not done anything to help myself understand the game

[wraith agate]

They're all good enough to shoot stuff

[spice dock]

<-

[bold kernel]

dont sell em

[earnest sparrow]

ahhh but i have noplace

i kept them bc i thought i'd need them sometime but they take up half my stash xd

[bold kernel]

check what items u need for your hideout and quests

i only ran sks this wipe early so i never had space problems

since the sks doesnt need a mag

[sick egret]

what do the headsets do?

i dont see any stat changes, so i am confused

[bold kernel]

longer hearing range and amplified sound

[unreal horizon]

you want the BMD, and ideally the long barrel

[sick egret]

oh shit that makes sense

[wraith agate]

Amplifies sounds

[bold kernel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-7uHeK9y5Q

[spice dock]

I wanted to raise ergo

[crisp nest]

oh god bruh

just use bmd

you have fine ergo without drum

run long barrel

[sick egret]

is there anything I should be doing now that I first got the game?

like i've done a scav run

[crisp nest]

then ergo glitch the drum and rest of em use 30 rnder mags

[unreal horizon]

why?

[sick egret]

where I shot another scav took his stuff and extracted

[spice dock]

Ads time?

[earnest sparrow]

thank uu!

[unreal horizon]

ergo doesn't really matter

esp on an SA

[spice dock]

I looked at low recoil builds and the ergo puts you at basically 0

[unreal horizon]

yeah because you're hit firing with them

use the SA like an smg, run around and oogabooga people with m61

[spice dock]

Ok I'll try that

Should I use 50 drum

or 30?

[unreal horizon]

Up to you

In most cases, 30s

[bold kernel]

nw

[unreal horizon]

Because if you need more than 30 rounds of m61, it's probably not the guns fault

[spice dock]

https://tarkov-gunsmith.com/loadout/475

This?

[unreal horizon]

Pretty much

[bold kernel]

the bp sks is simply too strong man

[proud plinth]

wow

8 minutes left in a scav run and i get killed by a pmc

[bold kernel]

night time 3 man got kinda clippidy clapped

[proud plinth]

[lusty glacier]

is this meta m4?

[bold kernel]

pretty much

show stats

[bold kernel]

yep

[lusty glacier]

no way to make it more meta?

[bold kernel]

panman u tryna lead me on interchange ?

[unreal horizon]

Depends what you want

[bold kernel]

u can lower recoil a bit

i need moneys but im bored of reserve

[unreal horizon]

Like 370mm and MOE would balance it more

[bold kernel]

ill take u on labs if u take me on interchange

[lusty glacier]

oh im just trying to make a stupid not worth it meta m4 to fuck around with

[bold kernel]

i need the gpus

@lusty glacier

this is max recoil

[umbral shoal]

Just got some 7.62x39 BP off my scav run

Hell yeah

[lusty glacier]

i dont have rk-2

[bold kernel]

this has more ergo

[unreal horizon]

RK-too bad

[jolly lily]

is the fence event for karma still going

[umbral shoal]

Nope

[lusty glacier]

it says i cant install that hanguard with 20" barrel

[bold kernel]

theres a longer version

of the handguard

[lusty glacier]

ohh i see

[unreal horizon]

wow!

[umbral shoal]

Totally not

[cosmic tinsel]

[potent crater]

i was trying to see if it was avideo or site where he did < >

[bold kernel]

[lusty glacier]

[unreal horizon]

if you play IC without a headset you're braver than me

[cosmic tinsel]

stop bullin me i need 26 more kills on IC

[gray geyser]

Discord need to get there shit together there too many scammers on this app

[bold kernel]

wdym no headset

everybody stepping on wood only anyways

u dont need sound

[cosmic tinsel]

this server already requires phone # authentication

[potent crater]

can we try and ping a mod to delete that msg?

[proud plinth]

i cant stand the old gas spawn on customs

[bold kernel]

any donations

[proud plinth]

you get pinched

[gray geyser]

Ya I just get spammed with cheats , only fans shit, and other pay to win services

[potent crater]

how do you name boxes?

why are ledx so expensive

[gray geyser]

What are u gonna name it?

[gray geyser]

It’s magic loot

[potent crater]

?

[potent crater]

misc and good stuff or somethign

[gray geyser]

Late game item needed for crafting and upgrading and trading

[unreal horizon]

right click, "tag"

[gray geyser]

Do other players see the name on ur gun ?

[potent crater]

dont think so

[cosmic tinsel]

no

otherwise every gun you find on a player would have a meme name

[gray geyser]

I want that meme name

[lusty glacier]

are we late wipe yet?

[potent crater]

god damn i only have one more hour for stash upgrade

[gray geyser]

Does it feel like late wipe?

But no , like mid IMO

[lusty glacier]

eh most the people i know dont have flea yet xD

but im not a good sample size

[gray geyser]

Late wipe is meta everything everyone’s rich

[bold kernel]

benders

chat

[calm jungle]

I need a carry on interchange

[gray geyser]

Feels like a good mix of chads and timmys IMO

[lusty glacier]

is 30mil rich? ive just been comfortable on good class 4/korund and havent tried to run anything betrter

[potent crater]

I killed some scav and it had 27 flechette rounds

[dreamy turtle]

yes

very

[gray geyser]

Not rich in the scheme things but wtf run good armor

[lusty glacier]

but like considering quest rewards since im lvl37

i sold the thicc case i got

[gray geyser]

If u 37 u know the deal

[lusty glacier]

middle class?

[dreamy turtle]

30 mil is a lot

[gray geyser]

Border line rich af

[dreamy turtle]

30 mil is what i had at end of last wipe

[lusty glacier]

bro last wipe bitcoin was op

[gray geyser]

Like how much do u spend in a play session?

[proud plinth]

wow man factory is great

[lusty glacier]

i had like 60mil end of last wipe from bitcoin

[proud plinth]

turn the first corner and im getting pre aimed

[bold kernel]

getting carried by the russian interchange turbo god

[gray geyser]

In my opinion get a bank roll then just break even

Saving for what?

[proud plinth]

Do you just team with randoms lol

[gray geyser]

How much play time would it take to burn 30million? Your gonna live maybe half the raids , so it won’t be a complete loss

[lusty glacier]

im scared to leave my comfort zone because every time i do, i get mowed down

[gray geyser]

Gotta let go

[lusty glacier]

chillin on customs with da boys

hunting reshala marked room u know

[gray geyser]

It’s fine to run mid tier shit but saving so much u can never spend is a waste

I did it last wipe

For what?

[stone cosmos]

How often is wipe?

[gray geyser]

It wiped I had like 25 million but lost interest in playing cause I had so much money

[gray geyser]

Varies , this is my second so I’m not really sure

[lusty glacier]

do i look like someone who should be running slick exfils? :P

[gray geyser]

U don’t have to meta

[lusty glacier]

ay its my second wipe too

[gray geyser]

Then u know, that money is only as good as the fun it buys

[lusty glacier]

i just call last wipe exception because everyone was rich from bitcoin

[gray geyser]

Use a meme gun , drop some cash for a noob, run nvgs etc

[lusty glacier]

man i want that aacpc barter but i dont have ragman ll4

[gray geyser]

Ya even so I’m breaking even fairly easily every session

I have a two card farm

[lusty glacier]

saving up for red keycard

xD

[gray geyser]

My goal is to play labs this wipe

[lusty glacier]

and then i wont even run labs cos im scared

[gray geyser]

My other goal was to play factory

[stone cosmos]

I blew through every gun and almost all 500k in a matter of like half a day so now I have to wait for scav to be off cd

[visual canyon]

g phone worth or no

[gray geyser]

Ummm I think k there’s a quest and a craft

Idk for only $$$

[lusty glacier]

gphones overpriced, i prefer IVANdroid

[gray geyser]

Lolz

[lusty glacier]

what should i run?

i wanted to do m4s but i dont want to pay overpriced m855a1 from flea

[unreal horizon]

you need it

[fathom ocean]

Wtf you do with a gphone

[crisp nest]

6-8 months id say

[crisp nest]

play clash of clans obv

[fathom ocean]

Russian clash of clans 😂

[gray geyser]

Mechanic quest nerds use a wiki

[stone cosmos]

Anyone want to kinda show me the ropes get a couple extracts for once? 🤣

[long salmon]

whats the best way to complete the jager quest where you have to kill scavs while in pain?

do i let them shoot me or something?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah that works. you could do the same thing as tremor too, i think

break a leg in factory and just spam it until you're done

[long salmon]

im already grinding factory for the 3 pmc pistol kills 😦

this place is tearing away at my mental health lmao

[hard tangle]

how come bitcoin is alwqsy out of stoc

even when reset

[crisp nest]

botters
