I was trying out the factory
Ahh, I personally wouldn't recommend factory to a new player
but if you want to run it you can find maps online that show the extract points
Factory is a rough map because it forces you into a lot of close quarters fights, and as a new player you will be heavily outgeared in factory
god bro factory is built different 
@cobalt coral what about customs
customs is great to learn as your starter quests are there, using offline mode while having a map on another screen will help you get to grips with the basic layout š
Anyone know how long it typically takes for the old gas station pmc extract to go active?
From the start itās active
thx
Customs is a great map to start with
its a fairly small map with a lot of variety of terrain and fairly predictable sightlines
In a map, customs, for example theres a max of 12 players. Are the scavs there to give the illusion of more players, or to be some sort of obstacle? If so, should i be a complete pussy and hide from conflict while looting in the fear a scav turns out to be a player with top notch gear, or should i not give a shit?
The scavs are just NPC enemies, you will be able to tell what is a scav by a few factors
scavs will look like hobos
dressed in raggity cloths with shitty gear on
now if you see someone in the distance with a big chunky outline and lots of tan or camo, thats most likely a player
best off in my opinion not hiding from anything, always going to have a nosey as you'll eventually learn where scavs spawn and be able to predict it, you'll never get better with engagements if you hide away from them all š
Yeah donāt hide
sorry but thats shitty advice
what is a brand new player going to do against any geared fight at this point in wipe?
I meant donāt just hide
Right, swerve it, never shoot anything at all, just die to everything because you have no experience taking on any gunfights lmao
Yes, hide, loot, level up and quest. Then pick fights
Hide appropriately
there's no side rail on the 74u
I think itās implied not to pick fights that you win 0% of the time
you need the UB or UN, they have the dovetail mounts
What is hiding inappropriately?
Hide with the appropriate timing is what I meant
the thing that lock the dovetail in place on the receiver
i don't remember what its called
The 47U is too short to have a dovetail
the rail would have to be where you hold the gun
Just use a b-11 rail tbh
or buy one of the other two types that come w/ the mount š
Fellas, the only player fight ive ever won was because he ran into my face and i could pump 4 shotgun shells into his head. I choke nearly all fights. Most of the time i die in the main road leading from scav checkpoint to crossroads trying to extract. Should i avoid that area or should i intentionally go to it hoping to get into gunfights?
Thereās a muzzle that doesnāt work with the un and ub from what I understand
Ak74un
have you practiced any combat mechanics in offline mode so you can get used to killing scavs etc?
Has a dovetail
I go on offline mode to warm up a little and try to find extracts, but most of the time i also die to a scav i cant see, only hear
yup, thats tarkies, you'll get used to scav spawns etc as you learn the maps, make sure you're using your scav wherever possible too for free $$$
Well, i will take all of your advice into account. Thank you, gentlemen
gl gl gl, have fun o/
is running my bitcoin farm with 5 gpu's worth it?
never shooting my weapon again as a scav
im so sick of people shooting at me and i shoot back and kill them and i get negative REP. for no reason at all.
ay should i sell all of these i'm only level 8
nah save them for when you get the flea market
then sell if your not gonna use them
ah ok
also invest in a scav box
When you hear a voice line run to covet and try and find the direction it was from
the one from therapist?
i have enought money i think rn
you do
Cheaper on flea but nor worth waiting for from your level
ive hit ultra med gotta be a dozen times and no ledx is that normal?
Dynamic loot
you warm up?

i just go in and die lol no need for practice
exactly
I āwarm upā by doing a scav
Really if i just havent been on in a while i scav so if i die it doesnt matter incase i forget key binds or something
anyone want to squad up iv played a little but not that good yet. so if someone can help me learn more about the game?
can i be in your group
looking for sum1 to help me out
i wanna play but also need sum weapon attchaments {i can pay for them }
Yeah, i warm up so i can die better. It also warms up my pc, since the first raid is the laggiest, the others are smooth
Im not playing
damn i died trying to fight shturman lol
shturman is the easiest
his goon one tapped me
oh his guards are good
should've just ran i suppose
Are you sure that was his goon and not Clint Eastwood?
yo that scav box is a pretty good invest bro thanks i have space again
well he shot me in thorax but i died in on shot cause i stepped on a mine at the start of the raid
Wait, there are mines in this game?
around woods you'll find mines
some are unmarked but i'm stupid and i ran into the border on spawn
The true Bosnian experience
Untill he triple taps your thorax from behind a logpile
The unmarked ones are sort of marked, by usec camp
they are marked by a sand pit
To the west in a sandy area, theres a couple signs
Well, im not going to the woods anytime soon, then
Its actually one of the maps I found easier as a beginner, especially after the expansion
Most of the PMCs will head to lumber mill allowing you to have a nice relaxing walk in the woods, popping the occasional scav
better then getting sprayed in the head
the issue is learning it though
Or your gun malfunctions
Yeah its such a pain to learn, there are no consistent landmarks unlike reserve or customs
I didn't actually find it too hard to navigate. You can usually see sniper rock and way find from that
minefields are mostly just the map boarder just don't go there
Idk, I love woods and found it pretty easy to learn the new area
But I've got experience in that regard (map reading / land nav)
It's fun, I treat it like golfing

What was your set up?
PSO 4x with sp6
X14 with vss
Pretty favorable set up
Sp6 is wonderful value
I've actually never touched a VSS, even when it was meta
Done it. I've yet to push the vss past 550m and with the accuracy nerf I doubt I will
Unironically having the lower magnification helps on longer range shots with the vss due to the amount of bullet drop
Yeah I can see that
can anyone recommened a very cheap and effective kit for me to go into factory a bunch of times?
im trying to do friend from the west pt 1
Aiming 30 or 35 meters above someone is hilarious to watch
Due to the arc is the margin for error technically more generous than other snipers?
136 with BP , rock T4 armor
that sounds kinda expensive, I only have 2.5m
Yes , you have to be dead nuts correct on the range
and I want to do factoryt a bunchhh
545 is cheap and effective
A single mag of BP , two back ups of PS
What traders do you have?
7.62x39 , the armor will help deal with lower end combatant and let you focus on making good plays rather than not being able to deal with buckshot or pistol rounds
mdr or ak
(keep in mind there are two MDRs in game currently)
556 mdr
Tan is 26% more effective
is there anything i can use cyclons on at lv 8 or should just sell em?
For your question though mike,
The flatter the trajectory, the wider your margin of error to hit a target is
When you put those two pictures together it really puts it into perspective lmao
Sell em!
kk
where do i find propane bottles?
woods before the compass is horrible
OLI at interchange
easy propane
i find around 4-8 everytime
thanks
š
There anyone that has a spot for a noob? I'm trying to get in the game just have no idea wtf im doing.
!sherpahub
This is the discord for new folks , it's fairly active and most people are cool with helping 100% NEW guys .
Most of them are pretty low ego.
Alright thanks.
anyone want to help get scav kills on customs tomorrow?
scav kills is something you have to do on your own other people cant carry you through that
Pretty good customs run
not bad why would you put that in beginners assistance though?
my b
all good man
@bronze horizon ik, just want someone to watch my back for pmcs
?
@bronze horizon I can kill the scavs but I suck at pvp so I was just wondering if somone would tag along to be an extra gun so I don't get complete destroyed
beginner quests or chill killing anyone?
I just bought the game and im not sure how it works, someone want to play with me and teach me ?
sigh
hey, any of these keys worth keeping?, or should i sell
wiki em
were not ur google bro
kiba is good tho
Not true tbh, Iāve helped many people w scav kills by baiting the scav aggro so they can take their time shooting it
It helps a lot, especially since they buffed the ai
would anyone wanna help me with couple quests?
This game makes me want to hang myself. How I fix
looking for anyone to team up with for a couple rounds pm me.
is welyn on singapore servers lol
I think he is like pumpkin gamer or something
i c
?
anyone trynna just play for fun im still new so i barley know extractions
i got you bro add me
can i play too i dont know shit
pls i wann get good
dm me
i really need someone toe xplain me what hte fuck hapepned
i scav interchange, i sapwn in, 2 steps and i found 3 completely full unlooted bodies
also killed 2 extract campers on my way to extract
one was crouching in the tent on emercom checkpoint and the other one was prone in bushes
killa
killa did it.
how else is a hex blacked
nah i got their dogtags as well
bro you killed me that roundš
they like, killed eachother, then player scav came in, killed them and the scav player died to npc
someone boguht a 1 life hex from flea
ive seen a 2hp hex on fence before
how so?
Lmao well you shot me in the faceš¢
would go well with my ppsh rat rig
i dont understand still >.<
you have my dogtag lmao
whats you rname in game
omoh_redš
wait were you the one in tent or in bushes
in the tentš
i like to leave raid with like 3 minutes leftš
it was the first time i checked this camping spot btw
really damn, well im glad at least i know who killed me lol
i laughed so hard when your friend tried to push me with that shotgun
he just ran across the open field
oh yeah i was on with my cousin, he told me he extractedš
anyone want to raid with a slow load in person? (me)?
my load times booty. sometimes 5 mins sometimes 10 mins.
is the dynamic loot aspect still a thing? or was it just an event?
what level do you have to be to unlock flee market
this wipe it was 20
dang
should say if you hover over the button
when
some event
to what
15
dang
anyone wanna help me get 3 more levels
yes. houses it

what should I buy and resell from peacekeeper to get his money spent up?
just buy dollars
you will use dollars to buy parts and ammo from him down the line
how do i have more hits than shots
fragmentation

Sell if you already have modded 545 aks
Keep if you have the room and donāt need the money
Thereās no way to power level peacekeeper efficiently
should i spend all my money on a lucky scav junk box?
ive been doing pistols runs on interchange and just got enough
yes
have 12 smgs and rifles i havent used yet lol
Are you standard account or eod
I wouldnāt but if you want to collect garbage sure
wym
I see it as pointless to keep a bunch of random barter items if they donāt have a use
i usually sell them since i have no space
but u need a lot of them for missions and upgrades?
Ehh not too many and they arenāt too rare
like i have a handdrill taking up 6 slots which is needed to upgrade the stash
you should keep barter items because most of them are useful but you don't need to keep 12 guns
especially in a standard stash
does sanitar only spawn in east/west wing first floor?
if he is spawning resort, that is
like, I don't need to worry about him on the second or third floors?
I have never seen them go upstairs but I have had them run into other wings and one ram into the east gym entrance
Does anyone have advice for what to keep in my lucky scav? it just got filled to the brim as ive stored everything I pick up on runs
can anyone help me with labs, new to the map ive only played it a handfull of times
Practice in offline is the only advice I can give you
The map itself isn't to complex except for the underground
Also prepare to be clapped by cheaters sometimes
which places should i go on customs
depends on where you spawn, where your extracts are, if youre solo or team- theres no one answer
play scav runs on it for a week with a map open on a second screen and youll get a good idea
alright thanks
There are definately a few areas id reccomend avoiding- fortress and dorms are imo worth avoiding outside a group as theres heavy pvp- go under bridge instead of over too as some people like testing their sniping skills
thats pretty basic stuff but I also find that avoiding big red and the directors office is a good idea- PMCs love it so unless youve planned it and have the key stay away
til u can only put junk in the lucky scav
hey guys new here! i have like 2 friends that play tarkov and are looking for some homies to play with
im not sure if this is the right chat LOL
these are all the guns i have, which ones should i keep and sell?
also not shown is a pp-91-01 and a makarov
Does anyone have a equalizer settings video? specifically for arctis pro wireless?
why does it say that cqr is compatible with my 103 but when i try to put it on it says cannot install both ak103 and cqr at the same time
why did everything mute when i joined a group? i could hear and talk fine in discord but loading into a raid i couldnt hear anything??
@trail kindle it must be a part that is messing with it
try reading it all and remove that part
Is it the CQR as in the fore grip? I thought that was only compatible with the AR-15 platform
ya mybad didnt see it was the 6inch rail that was on the ak
thats why it said it was compat with 103
@tough oyster whats the benefit of having the guns red like that. its makes it smaller I can see but then dont you have to have the part needed somewhere near? do you buy the part you need on flea when needed?
All depends on the space you have, some folk just store the spare parts as you still save space but if you have no space and money then rebuying when needed is also viable š
i just want to be better at PvP holy shit I can never spot anyone lmao
You get used to it, I just try to not stash weapons I donāt plan on using in the next few days, just buy when needed, saves me space š
u gotta rat and camp
Yup, once you get used to the paths people take through maps youāll have a massively easier time both predicting and spotting where players will be š„³
can someone sell a KAC 7.62 10 rnd on flee for 45k
Does anyone have a equalizer settings video? specifically for arctis pro wireless?
I just need some chad to help me I suppose
I just never know where people are. in a fight im not the worst
@chilly bane i suppose u should search it on google
what am i missing on this?
yo, how to make a ton of money
i just take the grip off and they take 2-4 fewer spaces
i dont sell the grip i just keep it off since i gain a few more slots
@tough oyster are you doing it for the mechanic quest?
for the pic i posted? no not yet, i just found a handguard and put it on, and wondering why the gun is still red
nvm
why do i keep finding pmc bodies that are like lvl 2 or 3 that have decent armors (like lvl 5), modded guns and a complete set of meds?
The barrel
Multiple reasons probably. Vets coming back and just getting geared up off a few kills, buddies dropping gear for their friend, and you get all the meds you'd need with your initial starter gear.
I recently came back (sub 30 games played) and im already up to 5 killa armors, 4 hexes, and 2 slicks with a small armory of meta guns.
Maybe try #pvp-lfg and saying the quest you are looking for help with.
Ok
Beginners chat and assistance is normally pretty dead at this time during the week.
why does everyone share their screens in the VCs
Lets someone help them guide if someone dies
It also is a good substitute for people that can't comm properly.
You can just look at the second screen and see what the heck they are trying to say.
Yeah need to VC?
Ping me if you still need help
still need help?
someone could help me ?
Im 1 year not playing need help with starting all over again š¦
with?
basically everything
hey guyz
i finally hit lvl 15
what should i do with my money for raid set ups thru exchange ?
Exchange lol
i can help u if u got specific questions
yes i call every market place exchange
i mean should i run better armor
like or better ammo?
how much money u got
What I mean is play the game with me and help with getting into it u know
gah damn
poverty
kept going broke and coming back
ahh i c, sorry cant rn
Go spam your scav for a bit and make some monies
I know the main goal of the game from past excperience just now need help again to remember again u know
You make a lot more money with flea than without
poverty
scav takes 50 minutes per scav now
huh
per refresh*
This is the key to being poor
ye it goes long
how low is ur karma holy
mines 4 min
Because of your rep lol
like - 4
Mines 12 mins
bruh
Mine is 11 minutes
rip
do u literally shoot everything u see
no but everything shoot me on sight
someone tell him
bro
so i had to
just reset ur account
u fucked yourself lmao
ggs.
i dont play this alot
2 months to 15?
how many hours
idk how to check
5 
check in overall
2 months 5 hours
like i played 100 raids ?
yea
how much it say tho
GAH DAMN
Why lmao
Bru
ur poor pc
its worth 5k it should be fine
it worth half price now ok thanks
š
"my car was 200k it can handle a few crashes
"
lmao
is this expensive
its able to run more miles maybe
i got it from a scav
its a good key
a ok
to use ?
good bcs its not saleable
no check mark i died
yea it unlocks a good room
900k i think
FUCK
ledx can soawn in it
lol
WHY DID I DIE
It's a decent key
bruh i have like 400k now
i died to 5 scavs gangbanging me
it was 11 mil my friend told me that
not this wipe
I leave YouTube on my tv at night with my switch and I currently have 8.2k hours on it
That guy with 400 hours in 10 raids reminded me to check
lol
100 raids *
i said 100 didnt i ?
ye
how can i be lvl 15 in 10 raids
fr
u have to be good at game
i literaly cant get to lvl 15
10 raids
yea
Being skilled ezpz
ez
i run away from scavs
lmao 9 labs cards on reserve first raid
lMFAO
ic
its possible
so like with my currently 400k i wanna know what i should buy off flea as standard set up
i know Iām not getting in but I hope 
hey every raid i spend at least 120 k before flea
i still managed to stay 400-500k
and thats with pacas
and mp 5
sd
or what ever the mini mp5
try upgrading ur armor to 3 or 4
ye suggestions like which armor is better to buy which gun which ammo type
The 6b3tm
ty
or 5.45 bt in a cheap AKdoes good
idk prices so whichever is cheaper
ak=good m4=bad
if u want a good m4 u have to buy good ammo
and thats expensive
af
Same if you use 545
Swag
No it's not lmao
use prso
5.45 prs can barely pen a paca
its still better than using m855
O_O
No it's not lmao
It has like 24 pen a paca requires 20
rip
i use 762 more than 545
762 ps best beginner ammo
i built like 15 akms in my hideout
use them bruh
nvm
yes
shit
toz is best
especially if u compare bp 545 to bp762
Thatās like comparing 5.45 ps and m995 lmao
but isnt 762 ammo like 1k per on flea?
What a dumb comparison
545 bt is same as 762 ps
No
It's 76 from prapor
76 rubles
its the same name so you would expect somewhat similar performance
PS is good
That's kinda dumb lmao
I mean, youād never compare 545 ps and 762ps
Fmj sx and 5.56 fmj are not comparable
ye
yea but same name especially beginning tarkov
They're both poor ammo
for what caliber lol
theres mid ammo for most calibers
Just Google āNo Food After Midnight Ammo Chartā all the info is on there
some just suck
nvm
You wanna ideally look to pen class 4 reliably imo as most helmets tend to be class 4
It's just 7.62 that doesn't have a mid tier, the rest do
5.45 bp is alright
Best budget round imo is still m80
what gun use x51 ? O_O
Hunter & RFB at low levels
lol
so fal good gun ?
The MDR is
mdr is
dmr is full auto ?
also it doesnt have to be full auto
no
i thought thats like a sniper
To be honest the 7.62 MDR for the price is great, 120k ish fully kitted without suppressor is a great price
M1a is also cheap and goated and shoots 7.62x51
90k
shit
m1a isnt auto tho
Theyāre about 80k on the flea, depends on the time of day and if itās the weekend etc
sr25 is 50k
5.56 like 60k 308 ~80-100k
I forget the 556 MDR exists, I used to main that gun
im still using akm
338 ap good budget
You only need one bullet to kill the whole lobby
bros i think i need to use budget guns with good ammo
in 1 clip
cus i cant afford 80k guns yet
400k is all i got i can run 7 raids with that
kinda spending
There are a few other decent ammo types that are cheap that get slept on, sp5 and sub-sx are both great
Invest in scavs
good investment
bp or bt
which is better ?
bt
so bp cheaper i guess
ye
You always should lmao
A pillbox is like 11k
ok thanks i been looking at scav back packs and they 20k i thought 2 much
how else would u make moneu?
You an make that back in like 2 screwdrivers lol
if ilive
my survival rate is 20 %
Yeah and the average is like 30% lmao
Doesn't mean everyone should go in naked because "I might die"
Going in with shit gear because you think you'll die is why you're dying
back pack ? doesnt help survival
ye new player confidence is key i get it but money is tight i spend 2k on a pack cus its better than 20k on a scav pack
when i have 400 k
i rather spend 50k on armor
and 50k on gun
and 10k on ammo
to 20k ammo per run
sks dont get me kills i cant run semi auto guns cus i cant tap
if i could i would use adar
You're not supposed to spam with skss
Or do you mean you panic and can't not spam lol
good pmc raid
One pellet to the head kills
They're goated
THE MINION
10 rounders you maniac
omg 10 bullets per clip is cray cray
at sniper cliff
Oh yeah why tf did you bring 10 found mags
bcs i can
30 rounders are like 1000 rubles
More storage for pog loot
hehe 1 tapped tagilla with gl40
what does the fp100 do
Hideout thing
the minion
Worth a lot
faster skill leveling
Air filter
how do i use it
ye
its good tho
yo
The minions go for 100k usually
finaly
question is pistol runs stupid
$545 
Kinda
i survived once on factory with a pistol and looked the first scav
If you have a pistol and no backpack the scavs will hunt you
thought i should try again
i had 3k
but wasted it
on random shit
cuz i was bored
50k
for minion
il take it
ahahhah
It's pointless
There's no loot or quests on it
oh i dont do quests
Pvp loot isn't what makes a map godo
maybe why im lvl 15 in 2 months
You really should lmao
i killed a guy with hexgrid vector 2 altyns
Yes
Also leveling up traders saves you so much money
idk how i kept dying so much
do woods raid
i hate trees bro
and go to the cabin across scav house
why cant i find east wing office 107 on flea?
i play csgo before i love the corners
Probably the shitty ones lol
Surprising
i died to a nade earlier on reserve at 2 seconds left till extraction
had 500k on me worth of shit
im getting sick of this game
btw should i run 2x or red dot ? on ak
i cant seem to kill longer ranged ppl with red dot
Yeah the won't really need a zoomy on reserve
What maps are the best for looting
Reserve and interchange
I used to do customs, now interchange garage
interchange i needa learn
lots loot there
reserve got so much good shit
i spend almost a mill on a key there
I probably ran 10 raids in interchange and died to 1 pmc, came across 3
Which one
the one by dome
There's a lot of those
idk why so expensive but i got 50k every run there so far
In the garage?
the one with the safe
How much should I expect to make per raid?
Oh that lol
out side with gun crate
300k+ if you know where to loot
That goes for all maps tho
It's just more likely on those
I dont think I'm making that much per raid
ah
Because you are the n zero zero b
Probably 100-200k
I just pistol run and avoid fights
cus died many times before i got there or got to the room

I'd take more risk if I could reasonably play with a controller but I'll never get good with a mouse like that
pistol wont save u
are u fucking kidding
me
a scav player just killed me
i killed a guy with a altyn
and good armour
the best one
the slick
and a m4
and this player scav just killed me
i fucking hate this
happens every time
Im tired of this shit
If you get good loot at a scav then you gotta turn to the mindset of a pmc, aka others will see better loot and they wont care about scav karma. think of everyone as a enemy, only problem is its really hard to get good karma when you keep spawning with pilgrims
yes i know
fuck this
im abt to kill anyone
the shit he had
fuck
he was lvl 40
factory
where else
THATS THE ONLY MAP THAT shit happens like that
im done with this game
I just ran fsctory and baited people into shooting me but not killing me like jumping where they miss my head or thorax
tarkov :)
trust me losing that kit is better than losing scav karma by buddy didnāt care ab his karma and now he gets killed on sight by ai scavs and has to wait 2 hours in between each scav
would honestly make more money not even wasting your time scaving at this point in the wipe.
Factory is a great way to lose all your money
isnt the wipe in a few months?
Wronj
Once me and another player scav teamed up to kill some meta nerds and we took their slicks and mutants and ran to Emercom lol
really? Must be dying alot then
nobody know exactly when ppl just guestemate.
Hey eveyone
Just picked up tarkov and I'm getting wrecked lol
If anyone would be up to play sometime lmk
can i take off valday scope off mid raid
that way i can do the 40 meteres iron sight and other quest at the same time
Yea you should be able to
You can run to extract in 30s and get lab cards often at high rep
Snb has better penetration iirc
hello
Use ps
Show me the build
im using the patriot mount
Send pic
would i stoll count as iron sights
even with mount but no valday
test it
well yes i do (burn) my scavs on factory but not even that the past 2 weeks and im up 15 mil.
yo, anyone know if you lose scav karma if you kill gluhkars minions?
Yes
Fuck the valday just run in with iron sight
you lose a lot
same with gluhkar?
okey ty
i cant start my tarkov
updating
Servers updating

RIP my fuel...
tf are operational tasks
probs the dailys/weeklys they said they were gonna implement
you'll find out soon
rip
i cant imagine them not, frankly
the grind to 70 is steep, this is my first wipe not doing kappa
but also i'm biased and would love an additional way to get xp so i'm seeing what i wanna see in it
its 61 now
2 hours
how long ago did u start
I already finished š
Anybody got screenshots of the new tasks
What
patch is big ye ?
Just new dynamic tasks
Idk what they are tho thatās why Iām asking for screenshots
Why canāt you
cant launch game ?
Oh just wait š
enjoy it while you can
can what
Can stay sane
enjoy not being able to play tarkov until you can play it
^
i enjoy dying
Ok
how long till tarkov gets enabled again?
could be days.... weeks...
No
me too
What do u do to catch a bullet after pulling the charging handle
^
unload the mag first, then the bullet
