im about to buy the game rn
rip
:0
with a huge mp 153 what ammo should i run
yah oof
MAG BUCKAROO
what if im going to dorms?
WHEN DID THEY ADD FKING LANDMINES
💀
you went to out i borders
what map?
probably woods
?
what helmet should i run
pre-20, ssh-68 or nothing
im lvl 22
post 20, ratnik (through barter) or nothing
or 21
i want to run dorms and have something good to go with my trooper but idk what
ratnik gives you more coverage than the ssh68
(ears)
still high ricochet chance, and is usually cheaper than the ssh
I learn something new every day
Always thought ssh have ears lmao
tarkov has so many friggin data points
ratnik also has fewer ergo penalties
constantly learning
I use this thing on my shit kits
That was the big reason I used ratnik
Rn I’m just going no helmet
Tv rig no helmet best combo
reduces spray pattern
oooooo
Fucking best laser/flashlight/ir laser
It’s just the best
I like ir a lot
Though it makes no sense to me how would an ir improve spray pattern irl
should i buy a dorms marked key
you... can
i mean would it be worth
it'll pay for itself if you can get out frequently
i would note that the two marked rooms on reserve have the same loot
i want one really bad but dont know if it is worth
for a fraction of the price
(rb-bk, and rb-vo. pkpm is trash. remember not to buy the key with 4 letters)
yah but i dont like reserve
yeah
like, you can make money out of dorms
but i think its probably the hardest marked room
yah i always go around dorms and go near it and just want the key
its super super profitable, i've probably pulled 2mil+ out of it in 18 uses
just risky and brings on pvp
One keytool
I have like 2.1 mil so i think i could buy it but idk
one key tool and im putting it in my bum
yeah
Even vendor it gives a shit ton
make sure to leave like, 2 slots open in your bum if you can
or at least decide what goes out of your bum
Covers more than the key
keytool, dogtag case, docs case are all super high value
If you get something good and you are trapped
Pk
And jump out the balcony
To the fence
And dip
It shouldn’t break your leg
and then you want a 3x3 bag minimum to grab money cases, med cases, holodilnicks
But just in case
weight and strength dependent
early wipe my shins were snappin like twigs
so the pk point is important
Not overweight it shouldn’t I don’t think
For sure
You can also do the balcony jump to stairs
But that one is a bit harder
It’s good when your enemy is on the other side
And it’s quicker
what are the odds of D2 raiders spawning when you turn on the power? i did it 3 times and no raiders
20-30% actually
probably 30% of time raiders spawned with map, and 50% they spawned when button pressed
apparently i had a lot better luck than so and so above me
soooo your luck may vary
Well go labs for 100% spawn rate
LOL
Anyone know where to find a L1 stim
you uh... wanna labs?
I'm down.
im terribad, but i got black and green
bahahaha
It's quite small tbh. Try running if offline if u have white kc
idk how chadded it'll be at night but im happy to do my best to rat you around stim spawns
the alternatives are scav case and sanitar, mostly
After a raid with chrryz where we had 2 raiders and 6 players (including us) I’m questioning labs raiders count
We even got hangar
Well if it offers u any comfort, the pk quest is not required for kappa
samples** gives sweet faceshield
I’m doing the guide tmr
hell yeah
I said 100% spawn raid. Never said how many spawned lol
@cosmic tinsel you done it yet?
I said I’m questioning it
i love doin the guide
Yeah I need the exfil purchase
Maybe
Gives you tons of dollars
yeah, and a good kinda tense
Hard?
honestly i played low risk routes and it paid off
only had one player engage me
i was able to disengage and proceed safely
u play labs first
why not factory > labs
quite frankly im more worried about catching a cheater in labs
how common are they
not super
but last wipe i got hackered hard my first guide attempt lol
sprayed thru a wall
Idk I save it for last
Or second last
It’s super easy I thought
Just go in loot a room and call a elevator
Lol the way the labs keycard tanked in price tho
@cosmic tinsel there was a red for 45 mil
You missed it
I would’ve bought if I got 45 mil rn lol
😄
kwon do i go terrorize shturman or you wanna roll the dice
Roll the dice meaning labs?
ya
Lol
Sure, I need that stim
uhhh
I'm just bringing a Vector lmao
6mil is poor?!
Comparatively 
Money shooting lol
Yes
Yikes.
I wouldn't say really poor but
ive got some chads meta m4, didnt cost me nothin
Makes it even worse the people going in as scavs to kill actually poorer scavs.
I was at 20k 2 days ago
lool
I'm at level 15, I haven't been above 1mil yet.
That's expected under flea market
Speaking of that, did u guys upgrade the bitcoin farm to ll3?
You'll be eating water cereal until then
Yeah I haven't upgraded solar
Solar expensive
It pays off
I think it takes like 2 months for it to start making money
Eventually
Roughly 4
For solar to pay off
So I just logged in and my scav is already on cooldown
I would if it didn't freaking require solar
Assuming you run fuel 24 7
Yep
Still contemplating damnit
im vibin in 2 man #10 and am about to lfg in labs
no rush ive got exciting youtubes to keep me company
I can't find 2man
yes solar is 4 months to pay off
oh duo
its goofy ik
how do i use the shooting range once i've installed it?
Center top of the hideout screen
Click enter
And run to shooting range
Press f
tyvm
can someone help me do farming pt one...
factory is hell
when should i complete the mentor for the 3 sniper elvels?
If i duo with someone and kill him is it gonna count for the task ?
Jaeger quests are so fucking annoying.
when you have either: 5 levels of sniper and are going to do wet job pt 6 and sbih
or 6 levels and are doing wet job pt 6
if u arent doing wet job, dont complete it
im going for kappa
so ill be doing it
im level 4 right now probably best to save it till level 6 so i can get the 9 for psycho sniper correct?
No
Your best bet is tryna smoke dudes on factory for your tasks
oh yeah sorry psycho sniper needs 9 not wet job 6
but if u doing kappa, 5
because sbih give 1
Paid 8 mil for 3 levels to level 7 for wetjob 6 lmao
Finally can buy m61
labs is pretty hot rn
40 per restock sucks tho
Server?
east coast
Pick one or two
yeah, i have chicago and ny
Be much quieter
it was not quiet
was rad but also not condusive to farming l1 stims
L1 should be easy
Green or sanitar room should drop one
Or even just random stim spawns
no dice
Another raid surely it will spawn
damn, me and this one fella were fight each other right
and then this and that happened
we became team mates or something
then a giga chad came along
fun reserve run
not running into hackers? pog
okay so im in the offline but idk how to find where to extract i have the map pulled up on my second monitor but idk how to locate my position and stuff
\
whats the best drug for this mission?
im not 100% sure if milk works
im pretty sure tho
if it gives some kind of skill buff it should work
is there a way to tell of shoreline pier is open or not better?
so say, theoretically, youre really down bad. and you have a few guns but you dont really have enough money to consistently be bying ammo and mags and armor and such. what do you do?
Use the sks
You don’t need to buy a rig because it has an eternal clip, the ammo hits hard and it’s only 91 roubles a bullet from prapor level 1
ok
It’s 101k on flea
s
list of customs keys worth keeping?
yah i need taht too
i have most dorms quests done, just wondering whats worth keeping for my customs docs case
thank you!
posted this in community-support, not sure if that was the wrong spot.
hey folks. pretty new to the game, and struggling a lot. losing more gear than i'm gaining, and hemorrhaging money. i'm not very good, but i'm trying to learn. can anyone tell me if LPS ammo for the mosin is not good against certain head armor?
i ended up in a gun fight with someone who looked like they had good gear on
in my death screen, it said that i landed four shots on them, and i was aiming for the head and neck area
was your mosin durability like half
what durability is level 1 prapor mosin?
its full probs
if you had a full one
you prob just missed
his head
unless you were shooting the back of his head
in which case it might have gotten tanked
I'm struggling to get a handle on this game, haha. It seems like, no matter where I go, I always die.
I'm pretty bad at shooters, though.
it says i survive 15% of raids, haha
pretty good
first time doing samples, any tips or help?
run scav
who gives the 3 pmc kills with pistols quest and when?
skier
my surv rate is something like 9% so you're doing fine
@indigo marlin The shots might have bounced all off his helmet. Its rare but possible.
is 11sr worth it?
why is every team on shoreline 4 man? and how do i beat them
can anyone sherpa me
play like a rat be quiet
What r good ratting spots and what gear should I have?
what map what budget?
for 1 raid?
hey guys do you know if there is any setting to speed up loading back into the menu
Well I like seeing people suffer so probably more
Smth afordable but also deadly
SKS is enough to ruin someone's day
vss is pretty cheap and destroys
sure is and so is some magnum buck to the face
only use good pistols like fiveseven or smth fast shooting
I just cant figure out this game
select the ammo type ur using and see for yourself
I go in and get killed in the first few minutes
do you get clapped when ur running around like you own the place?
and are you wearing headphones
57 can be quite expensive tho
Im wearing headphones and I was crouching my way through some bushes
Run the .366 vpo or the 7.62 vpo
go around bushes they make a lot of noise
Using ap-m and bp respectively
did you see who killed you?
Also no one will pick those up
I was sniped in the head so no
what map and where?
Yes
everytime you get in open up a map on your phone or pc so you can alt tab and see where you are https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs
just hide all the icons and select player spawns and extracts and maybe something else you want
try to stay away from the really active spots
stay out of trouble and do your quests clap scavs take it slowly but not too slowly otherwise your gonna be sneaking around the entire map
None of these scavs have mp133s >.>
you need em found in raid?
U can buy that shotgun from trader
I think so?
What lvl r u?
if you dont unlock jeager and then buy em
Like level 2
Dont have jeager
It is
Where is his camp?
near the crashed plane
next to the crashed plane
time to waste my last amount of money dying to 4 mans in shoreline
What gun should I be using early game?
pp kedr claps sks claps pistols clap ak m4 claps
what is a claps...
its the sound you get when a bullet hits someones head
so basically its good
sks is gonna be your best pick tho
Just run sks for now until you unlock the buy for magnum buckshot
Most players dont have faceshields and it takes one pellet to the face to kill
whats good ammo to run 7.62x39?
Go too woods, and get shot by 3 dudes hiding in a shack
7.62 ps - Prapor ll 1
7.62 bp is better, but you can’t get it before flea
Any EU players willing to take on a young padawan? I am just starting this game for the first time. I've just seen some starter guides! Looking for folks to play with more generally too.
is 11sr worth it?
for anyone wondering what factory scav runs look like in a hr this is it. so many scav killing scav its pretty much free loot. (no i didint kill any scavs)
plus like 400k of cash
MULTIPLE LEDX SPAWNS
does a run through not count as extraction
no
anyone down to help me hit stashes on interchange? ill be screensharing in lfg inter 5
Anyone down to help out with bunker part 1? I'm EU
Does anyone have experience with buying tarkov with btc? How secure is it?
@nocturne needle hello, im sorry i dont have a mic, but could you please help me with telling me where to go to find stashes?
@bold kernel havent done that quest myself so I can't really help you. Sorry.
Where should I be going on reserve for loot?
@silk robin hello
whats the thing that u can buy on the flea and sell to peacekeeper for more
Nothing, but slim diary is decent iirc
thats it ty
np
anyone tryna help me get jaeger?
i know nothing about ammo and whats good. all i know is bp is pretty good. what out of this ammo selection is usless and whats good
is it worth afking 10 mins or so on spawn to do scav kill quests to wait for them to spawn
BP, BS, BT, PP is all decent
And PPBS
Igolnik
thanks mate
Anything with a B is good
Hello i am a new tarkov player, I am decent at the game i know the basics but i am scared to bring good guns into raids, can someone help me
PP -> BP -> BT -> BS -> PPBS
BP needs multiple shots to take lvl 4 armor down
BT goes through lvl 4 (most common) initially
can someone help me figure out if the key I have is the correct one and wiki is outdated, or I have the wrong key please
are these 2 the same key?
I'm freaking out because nobody knows this
seems the same
I mean, the descriptions don't match, so IDK
I'm trying to figure out if I should trade the HEPS key for this one
HEPS has a heap of loot inside, even if it's far away from most objectives
it's the size of an alpha container
2x2
but it can fit everything
like you can't place flirs or pistols into your container im p sure
dont remb what exactly
but it doesnt have those item type lmitations
but still its only 2x2
can someone help me with finding an extract on reserve? im in call beginner assistance, i have no mic sorry
anyone wanna help me learn the game a lil🥺🥺
right im on my 44th raid from yesterday tring to get raiders to spawn in the command bunker on reserve i have only ever killed 3 and they always spawn one only how do you get them all to spawn i tun on power and wait onlt pmcs come ill wait 30 in still only pmcs come
at this rate to get 2 more i need another 25 games any tips ?????
Something is seriously wrong with your rng
Theres a chance they're down there to start, and another chance after you hit power
I'd say 2/3 of the time you can get them
Are you searching the entire bunker?
iu go round yes only normal scavs i find
Weird
They usually spawn in or outside both ends of map room
lmao what
i thought they spawned in 3s
and i thought theres a chance some might be in water
well run 45 maybe i find another
lmao should i switch night vision?
just starting out, im starting to have alot of inventory management issues, tips?
don't keep guns you won't use soon, store stuff in rigs, they hold more space then they take up
Anyone need help with anything or just someone to play with hit me up!
just fkin around like always xD
i have 1 thousand rubles left
ive managed to extract only 3 raids
out of all my raids
what do i do
use your scav
Do scavs, and while you wait for the cooldown just watch youtube guides
ok
you don't need to kill everyone just loot quietly and leave
i dont know the maps tho thats the problem
Don't go into a PMC raid without having an idea of what you have to be doing
how do i get hk a3?
Go on offline mode you dont lose anything
actually what is that i can't find it in my modding screen
ok thx
or flea
My scav has a semi auto rifle
I want to loot and i am not interested in fighting since i most likely wont make it out
what map should i go to
also i have a task where i can get a SMG for HDD
Go to interchange and run along the outside of the mall. Hit all the stashes on the way to your extract. Should be around 15 or so at least.
i just got my account back after a while of forgettingmy password but now it says i need to buy the game again
can i loot dead bodies?
If you don’t know the map well enough or where the stashes are look at map genie . Io
And yes of course
I do it on my pmc early wipe to level strength and get money. With a proper backpack I usually get around 400k a run. Much much more if I have the container key and the pharmacy key
wow thanks now i see all the loot 
Can someone please explain me reserve extracts? how come none of them are like woods or customs where you just go and extract but you have to turn on power or something
wth
when is another wipe?
i would get my money back right>>>
Because of amount of money you can make on reserve
not for another few months
Wipe just happened like a month plus ago
@pure mist its a wiki imagr
oh ok, also, can you use d2 if someone ealready used it?
Just get your red rebel and an armored rig
I have no clue I would assume so
gotcha
"just get your red rebel"
its a cheap barter
It’s only like a mil barter from jaeger
What level like 4?
kek, i only have like 200k lmao
I think 3
Oh shit I didnt know it was that easy lmfao im not buying it tho cause I dont play reserve
Again if you just so some simple money runs like a stash run on shoreline or interchange you’ll make half a mil a run average
For my tasks on there I just dont bring a backpack and use manhole
thx for the help ima raid rn
God speed
f
I died someone saw me
chased me
i ran after shooting once i missed
he chased me indoors
i hit him but i didnt have armor'
so i died instantly
As a person that has never in my 2 wipes built scav case, is it worth?
yes
Careful if you get an invite from "Veryperson " As kills you when you spawn
sort of
it's fun 🤷
@shadow spade literally anyone who invites u not on a disc wants to murder u
I don’t like your friend. He’s toxic
Aim down ur sight at him @bold kernel he will do funny voiceline
And?
he didnt shoot me
Fuk
This story has changed drastically
Or you'll lose most of your rep
fuck around and find out
shoot him in the back of the head next time
cause u didnt kill him

Once you get a stash value of less than 100k you will be able to spawn in with viewers and get fully decked out weapons and high tier armor
So keep the doll
that will be never
lol
100k?
i have 7mil
- junk box
and med thingy
docs
and keys
Lmfao a level 36 tried to solo them and died
u will lose so much rep
I took his shit then left
and also his guard next to him otherwise reshala is pretty free
i lost -0,20 when i killed all of his minions
the higher u have the more u lose
They were regular scavs if I wanted to I coudlve smoked him ran his pockets then ran
His guards were patroling around the whole building
Welp time to do more shoreline tasks thanks to peacekeeper
Howdy, anyone have room for a complete noob?
Yo, would anyone be willing to help me out? I'm like level 3 and am getting pretty discouraged. I've lost almost all of my shit and can't even exfil as a scav to get something back. I'm trying to learn Customs and am still having trouble navigating the middle section and even getting to a single valid extraction point. I basically just get clapped by sweats or sniper scav every single time
if u have a docs case why do u not know theyre both awful
because i want to lol?
Try offline raids
And watch youtube guides
i have 3.4 mil what should i spend it on?
save?
hideout
it is probably the most i have ever had
i need levels because i need mechanic ll3 and skier ll3
and i need rep for mechanic
and should i buy a money case or something because i just have loose money under my wallet
No
should i buy a spare wallet or just leave my money loose
for punisher part 1 what counts as the gun thing i need
and any tips for avoiding pvp in shoreline
Wallet is cool
suppresed weapon
and shoot first
i mean like where should i go if i really dont want to get killed by some chads
OH do you mean to shoot before the un suppressed weapon scavs shoot?
if u want best loot go to resort
yes
no im just doing punisher part 1
Bunker, heps, pier, roadblock
Maybe I should do more offline raids but I was doing online to try and get a compass. I'm pretty directionally challenged and I feel like just knowing what direction I'm heading towards will help me greatly. Especially in the middle section which I find very confusing because even if I know what direction I want to go I can't go that way cuz there's 2 meter high walls everywhere
Basically just run around outside of resort
for scavs?
Ye
do you mean like circle resort?
knowing where landmarks are on a map is going to help you more than a compass, but its all up to you
That's probably true. I'll stick to offline and hopefully get better against scavs
To avoid pvp on shoreline I would just stay away from resort lmfao, other than that its just depending on everyone else's routes. Hugging the top of the map is easy to get around without seeing many people
Try to avoid gas station for me it seems like I always see atleast one mf there
how good is golden skull
im literally level 1 anyone wanna play a little no more than trio
i played before just starting now
70k on flea
and you need like 5 for scav case
damn
and i buyed 3
will the key disappear after 25 uses
i hope so
if you dont get slaughtered by chads
damn bman
that looks like good loots
@bleak crystal
if i sell to flee
it would be worth one key
but one time
i got toz
littery toz from it
Oh wow
ay man, i might be able to help you out a bit.
Yeah?
ya
lvl 16 need a teammate
already sold
@bleak crystal this answers your question
what servers are you on adn how good are you
is there anything that your really having trouble with?
Eu im pretty decent
oh ok im na ;-;
Im getting wrecked often too. Ive only exfilled customs twice. I basically get all my loot from factory Scavs. Then while waiting for the scav timer to reset i run offlines on customs. Everytime i run a customs offline my goal is to make it to one big loot spot, and find a new exfil i havent tried. Slowly but surley im starting to learn where everything is in customs.
Factory scavs are your friend
Customs is honestly a shit map to extract from in all honesty
It is rough AF. Especially if you go super sneaky, walk basically in silence the whole time, and still get caught up… fuck me. I took all 40 minutes of that raid to find the stupid boat.
So im Level 6. Whats the community standard for cooperation with randos online? Especially as PMCs?
I can kinda get an idea for coop on factory with other scavs. I need a friend 😫
yo can someone help me get out of this wood raid i dont know this map very well and im heavy?
@ashen spindlego to woods #5 and stream
hey im nae i was wondering if anybody wanted to play and maybe show me innerchange a bit this is my first wipe i am lvl 19 and want to learn some of innerchange or do a loot run before i hot lvl 20?

@jagged carbonYou gotta do the jingle.. Go in to a woods raid, sit on the pmc extract, shoot of the jingle and hope they don't murder you. Start doing the jingle when theres 20-25 minutes left in the raid
for gunsmith part 5 on the wiki it says it is like built off the standard one from skier

Nope
Yea guys im like lvl 14 played 40 plsu days

@obtuse birch well if ur still here when i get back home ima bring a ap-20 shotgun and we go
The internal will work
Was the ammo in your pouch or backpack
