usec starting gear i think is more usable but starting gear is less important
there are no women
women are a ploy by the government to sell bedframes
isnt it because in russia they dont allow women in war
but thats a story for anothyer day
Ohhh snap
also the graphics settings - can i go all high for a 3070
80k from fence
GET
the game also depends on ram and cpu a lot
what about cpu
ryzen 7 5800x
yes you're fine
sick
what fps are you trying to get
yeah you can probably get around that
i dont have any idea on what those do
for what
oh no
i dont think that does anything
let you hear farther
they let you hear sounds like footsteps better
oh thats cool af
i dont think it lets you hear further
it absolutely does
i think it just raises volumes
nice
wait so does the handbook show every item in the game
ah
i wish you good luck getting to lvl 35
thanks
yes
thats what they all say
if you grind hard enough it should take a few weeks
but tasks get boring
ayo this sorting system is shit
guys where abouts on customs is the best place to try and find morphine?
crackhouse
i like the sorting because i'm lazy
crackhouse
dump the shit, sell what you don't need and sort
ez morphines
can i ask where abouts that is?
meth lab
im guessing in a house aswell?
cheers
no, i just like to confuse people because everyone uses crack house but i use meth lab
2nd floor has them mostly but some can spawn on the med case and corpse downstairs too
i just need 3 FIR for a quest for therapist
also check med bags here and here
hey
ty
so uh
any budget weapon builds for shoreline?
what does the hideout do
i kinda have to limit my spendings 
@elfin spire resort or outside?
sks, akm
outside
gotta have something that can compete at long range
not planning any resort at all
adar
SKS/Mosin/VP215 with AP
whjat should i take for my first run
i think i will use sks from the given
@sinful osprey hideout lets you do tons of stuff like crafting items
thanks
body armor, mags(usually in a rig), face cover, headset
those i'd consider essentials, add a helmet, backpack if you like
man fence just sold me 14 M62 for like 1k they sell for 1k each
this ok??
where is your container
you dont loose it
oh what
and you keep all things in it
in terms of meds esmarch for heavy bleed(1 or 2), bandages for light bleed(1 or 2), ai-2 for hp(1 or 2), splint(2), pk(secure), spare ammo(secure) and that's about it
container and everything inside it is safe on death
can u take it out during raids
food only if you plan on staying long and don't know where to find more
also your melee weapons in your scabbard
like what is it used for
its like a in game stash
inchresting
you store items there, the items are not lost on death
What's the best MP-153 ammo for killing scavs?
Or rather, does it make a difference the ammo I choose or just choose the cheapest one?
Need to kill 65 scavs with MP-153 for the weekly quest.
doesnt matter
Store a stack of 60 ammo in it and all your meds
but for scavs use bucksht
wow 65 scavs
just 8.5 magnum works
make sure you go on the right map if it has a specific map in top right of task
it is any location, if it wasn't i wouldn't accept it, that's crazy hahahaha
are you brand new to the game?
~9 scavs per day i think it's doable
some arent released on that page
yes i just bought it
like 10 mins ago
lol
you will die
and it gets boring eventaully
no questions asked
yes ik i will die xd
factories is for close and fast paced action (suggest for trying to rat) customs is more of a chill map as long as you stay away from dorms
i suggest you try to learn secret stash locations aswell
they really help at the beginning
i am playing as a scav first to get a feel for the controls
you can also do offline raids
as in game or for the offline mode?
doign an night time raid ig
yea dont do them without night vision or a flash light
especially when you dont know maps
Someone dropped it
Lol
oh so you did buy it
woo
ill help you out as soon as im not busy
noo man
i just found some loaded ass guy that killed himself and got sniped by another player scav
HUH
has anyone got a customs office key? I need it and can't find it anywhere
I've been looking for a good few hours
as a scav you shouldnt kill other player/ai scavs
it decreases rep with fence meaning longer scav timer/cost of items are more
BRUH
its stopping me from doing 2 quests ffs
running out of space, i can't die for some reason can't find anyone in raid
you tried going to resort/factories/dorms?
Hey y’all ive been trying to find a 60 round 5.45 mag for gunsmith 2 for 3 weeks now, anybody know where they spawn? Ive tried zb-014, and i cant get into kiba because im lvl 11
whats the best 5.56 round?
would tarkov benefit from moving to a faster m.2?
currently its living on my ssd
might move it to my 980 pro
prob helps with unpacking times etc
or is it mainly just cpu based
i know some games are cpu and storage
why do people do trades for emeleya and 995?
If you end up killing a Scav by accident you make the fence trader angy
And you get worse stuff
which ones are the important keybinds and should i remap them
And less extracts
Ammo check
And Hotkeys to switch stuff/remove items from your inventory
I have yet to figure out what to remap my DEL key to
But i mapped my Check ammo key to one of my side buttons
And my hotkey to switch stuff is CTRL (default)
switch stuff??
Or pick it up*
I like to have the Grenade hotkey to be a double tap, because accidentally fat fingering G and killing yourself is a fear of mine
What
he spawns anywhere
I was going to say that too
My friend pointed it out when i first started
@sinful osprey You also have Extra settings to the far right of your binds that allow you to change it to whether you hold down the key or if you just double tap it
what were the big adds this patch?
just game engine upgrade
Engine switch
nothing new
Is it worth buying a marked key?
do you have to right click to examine each item
will it return investment: yes
will you lose more on kits: maybe
middle click
ty
also ctrl click for fast move item, alt click for fast equip, drag + ctrl to split stacks, del to drop item
can any help me with a technical problem
i have been running the game fine until 2 weeks ago
now i cant get through a whole raid with out crashing
Also examine the stuff the traders have
It might take a while but will save you the trouble
Yeah
You could increase it if you want
or actually, hold up
I think you would have to change it overall
fk
But it makes sense, you can’t really turn fast irl
how dio i use stuff in pockets?
Is there one room that’s better or do they have the same spawns?
i know pkpm is kinda crap compared to the others
the others are more or less equal
though with the 2 on reserve you have a risk of having to deal with stronger players
Tarkov already pretty fast
Ok
You can map keys 4-9 to things in your pockets or Rig
Besides ammo and mags
hover over the item and press the number
idk why i said bags lol
Also @sinful osprey you can tetris things to fit more things
And you can also put bags inside of bags if your main bag is enough
Same with rigs
You can put those in your bag for more space
how do i fix this
Reinstall
bruh i just installed it
Wym
do i delete the whole gaem
Like you just bought the game and installed it?
The launcher is a completely different client from the game
i just updated it
Its obvious one of the EXE files required to run it either got corrupt or deleted somehow
The Executor couldn’t find it
Simple fix
@jolly lily Make sure you uninstall the launcher completely
is 1 gpu for violet good barter?
sounds like a steal from what i've been told
if it's your gpu for their violet
if you have fir gpu
i don't
Like
no no no
Twitch Rivals?
its probably multiple
Yea
i checked
i dont htink it is
IT IS 1
scroll over the refresh icon
oh
Labs key
yah i amde a similar mistake
Wayyy overpriced there
makes sense
Labs keys?
the website wont download for me is it just me or is it down to reget the launcher
I know they go for a shit ton but like 10 GPU’s?
Red is 50 mil
People don’t care
They rich
I’m not but I have all the labs cards
TFW i bought euros to buy an items case but the barter trade is cheaper
should i just keep my euros and do the barter?
Scammers, like any other irl market
not sure what euros are really used for
solar power oh yeah
the barter trade is ~560k cheaper
whats mentor?
Pay 50k for sniping levels
Your really are paying for m61 and gl unlock
hey how do we find extracrtion points
bsg forgot to make (good)ingame maps, so everyone's using third party maps
ion even know where i am lol
find a landmark, compare to the map
yo, can i buy a Remington choke off somebody for the mp-133 quest?
would appreciate it 🙂
barter a shotgun from mechanic for it
i have everything but the choke tho mate
plier and screwdrives are plentiful at the back of goshan
wheres goshan
how do we change the quick use hotkeys
I don’t think you can
hover over it and press the number
yeah
yo ifogel
nothing
cant rly find a good map for interchange, could u help?
i cant change these ones for some reason
https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/interchange
this is the one i use
is the red building obvious? that map is a bit mad
red highlited where it spawns
Where do i go for grouping with people in this server
it's the biggest store and has general red color scheme
kk ty
a huge fire in the middle of it too
where the fuck
Anyone?
what?
customs
lemme get a map
situation myself with a map
shit ty
ooh
thats where he is
but there is a train?
yeah i believe its on the other non jumpable half if i remember correctly
ok
bro always check the tech room on reserve even on a scav i just found an aesa with 10 minutes left in raid
any one know where to find some of these?
I normally just buy my stuff for hideout so idk where to check
how do u open the gated doors to extraction
i did the thing where it said i had to flip a lever
you need a key
i just tried zb-013
yah
basically there is only 2 extracts you need to know on custosms
just knowing i dont think there is an ingame indicator
damn
but the 2 extracts you need to know are zb-1011 and RUAF roadblock
only zb13 needs a key for customs
the only one on customs I know of is zb-1013
yah
is 995 FIR only not like a barter of craft
make bank from the craft
200 rounds
raiders, world spawn in mags, and craft
average newbie
i literally just found these in a raid why cant i use them for a quest?
do i have to be in a raid for a certain amount of time?
you died with them
you got a run through
tfs a run through
it says white “run through” instead of green “survived”
how do I make it so next time it don't say that?
was it offline?
Is there a way to make the game less grainy?
when on pain killers or nvg
Just normally
check your postfx options
maybe you have the grainy option on
untick noise
yo guys, i did the trade with mechanic for the mp133 tactical for the quest gunsmith part 1. what do i modify on it to turn it in?
you need to change the pistol grip
i have the pisto lgrip on
and it wont let me turn it in still tho..?
max durability also
bullet in chamber or mag?
I think it wants a blue laser not a flashlight
LETS GOO

congrats bro
i did it
online or offline?
online
NICE BRO
idk man either way better than dying
bro inspect ur shits
inspect everything
middle mouse button
yeah
300k for 200
should i craft it and try and get a stash of 995? rn im doing that with 55a1 from skier 4
maybe a bit more
also I love 556
that would be 1500 per 1
saves 500 per round
2000 in flea
so like 500 x 200 is how much it saves
how much do you aim for craft to be?
never by from him
well theres no point in crafting if you lloose money
fence is only good for some ammo when your rep is high
nothing good is ever off him
max rep right here :)
wrong mindset
like magnum shotgun rounds
that’s more profit
violet is intel ammo is workbench
i know
im giving an example
violet craft saves money
but the flea markey makes it NOT profitable to sell
they are half durability
they will get a gun jam and you will die
doulbe click them and see at the top their durability
btw it will say like 53/59
oh wow ur right
the second number doesnt mattewr
just treat it like 53/100
yah they dont vendor to mechanic who gives more money
because they are broken
if you want to minmax you can strip the parts and sell them to mechanic
and the base gun for fence
Oh
im dumb
that is what i already do
i thought you meant by guns, sell to mechanic
nice avs
also why is this image on a site???
nvm
im guessing its like medal
except for images or something idk
gyazo is a screenshot site yes
how can u tell
their clothes are normally more colorful or they have shitty gear
but if you drop onto one and they dont shoot you assume its a scav
3 man running scavs just killing everything each are as dumb as eachother they killed 2 of their own
Any new players need some help?
we are on reserve bunker
can a scav spawn with usec armor and supressed mp5
we are in bunker on reserve
no
and hes not killing me as a player scav
he got it from raiders
its a AI
\
Those are raiders
are you a scav?
If youre a scav they wont kill you unless you engage
yes you can kill and have no negative effects to scav karma
whats this do for the traders?
they reset
so some stuff is super super super quick to sell out
like a barter
(im assuming your new sorry if you are not)
so when they reset every ~2 hours they come back into stock
so im guessing like a flash sale?
u need to make sure they’re raider and not gluhar guards
no the items they sell are the same
no
your personal and global purchase limit resets
some barters which is like items for another item instead of money
yah personal purchases too
ye they were raider
Fence is taxing
so raider spawns wih better hear basically
killer
could some one help guide me through interchange?
gg killed a player scav on accident
it happens best thing to do is risk it as a scav and let them shoot first
all other scavs will come after yo now btw
yea you killed another scav
its only in that raid because you killed one in it
you need like -1 for them to come after you every raid
what do you have to do on interchange
i could probably show you a bit of interchange after i helped someone on reserve. so in a few hours if your on and NA
yoU uSeD thE wRonG YoUr
are you on hdd
ssd
uh
if we spawn as scav
and we wanna keep the loot
can we just book it to extract
or no
@sinful osprey you wanna run some raids w/ me?
make sure 10 minutes have passed from the raid timer
for example if it’s interchange 35 min or less
usually not a problem but in factory it is, you sometimes get a run through
oh...
So you don't keep stuff or just lose the XP?
how do u know its run through
it says so
i was onm a scav run and i got thisso i left
BRUH
I mean at least it’s not like pmc raids where you have to BE in raid for 10 min or kill smth
scavs spawn late and if 10 mins already passed in total raid time you can just immediately exfil
ah
Anyone playing?
Can scavs kill pmcs? And how do you tell them apart? And lastly anyone know how to gain karma really need the help.
armband = pmc
not scav voiceline = raider or pmc
acts like a player = pscav, pmc
pmc clothes = pmc
Do you have tro successfuly escape to have an item considered good for a task? i have collected a salewa but its not regustered it when it was in my safe crate when i died
yes
So scavs can kill pmcs?
yes
And how do you gain karma?
exfil as a scav
kill traitors
kill pmcs that killed scavs
when boss is friendly, kill traitors who damaged the boss
pmc vehicle exfil
pmc-scav coop exfil
By taking Vehicle Extracts
Vehicle Extracts are the easiest from what i know
But exfiling as a scav increases your karma by 0.01
And you can only lose karma by killing other scavs?
Yes
Coolio!
Dying does nothing to your standing with Fence
But if you end up killing a Player scav, you lose even more
So I really have to tell who's who
Simple thing is, just dont shoot unless they start shooting
As a Scav, you have no reason to shoot at anybody unless they are shooting at you
Thats how you know its a PMC or if its a Traitor PS
Plus, most chads run suppressed guns
Gotcha
So thats a dead giveaway for the most part
bro those are super good
and pretty rare
it is 7
should i even atempt this as a lvl 33 first wipe 2mil?
i wouldnt
Why cant i join any channels?
unless you have run labs before
do ctrl + r and some are probably full
yah im level 40 BASICALLY first wipe
and have gone labs a few times but im still not gonna do my task for 15 labs survives
i still cant join any channels they are all locked
OH
yeah, i dont trust my skill to make money off the keycards
why are you blacklisted from LFG?
did you team kill people?
i dont either
no
im level 40
i just joined the server lol
read the rules
weekly?
that's not that hard tbh
if you play ofc
why can I not join a beginners assistance vc?
if you can afford it
i am in need of a carry from a mage chad
1 pt to spend? we going full rpg eh?
Is the VSS any good I never see anyone use it
g l i t c h
mega or mage???
MEGA
where do i get that fucking shmaska
4 factory raids in a row with +10 scav kills, no shmaska
only one cowboy hat :/
@thorny phoenixyou just keep trying... there's no guaranteed place to find one
i found a few before but i sold them ;//
What is the best or cheapest holo?
Is the compass lost on death? Ive seen it on bodies but unable to loot it
no its persistent
?
like the pliers and the camera thing?
theyre used for quests
ahh ok
youll use em 3 or 4 times
is the lucky scav junk box worth buying when i can afford it?
fuck yeah
most people have 2, if not 3
but 2 is really all you need
for the most part... but i wouldnt go broke buying it
I mean i have a bout 7 bags all packed into eachother atm just to make space 😄
unless you have no room at all
we all have a stack of bags
you should never go into a raid without bag
even if it's just a little one til you can kill for a bigger one
i have my alpha container
waste of your time
meds and ammo should be in your secure
if youre bringing just 5 things out a raid, youre never going to get anywhere
I often go in without a rig or bag, but i specifically hunt a scav down to find one
haha i get rekt by scavs 😄
well youre apparently pretty new, that'll change
youll get beter
you aint wrong
yeah, then you def have some learning to do
i'm pretty new and i was having trouble with all fights, but someone told me to look at what ammo i had and that really helped, try looking up ammo charts it might help
Quick Reference Sheet [Up To Date]
I stream: ,https://www.twitch.tv/nofoodaftermidnight
Effectiveness,Est. Avg. Shots Stopped By Armor Before Killing
0,Pointless,20+,Can't penetrate in any reasonable amount of hits
1,It's Po...
This is a more polished chart
theyre the same
Yes but that one is more polished
battle buddy app
You can also jump to different ammo types by clicking on one
i like the excel sheet for my eyes.. to each his own
battle buddy is kinda wrong sometimes
can anyone share a good VSS preset
stock
yes the milktube
what do i do with 11 FiR corduras?
Sell on flea
what can i with them?
lavatory can craft with them i believe
i mean which item can i craft
i dont remember off the top of my head sorry
when using rip ammo aim for the legs?
Rat ammo
Or also known as Flesh ammo
The legs are the easiest place to hit and most open
im fairly new to the game
cause im good i guess
You’ve done more than i could do lol
lmao look how poor i am tho
I suck at this game
Scav runs
nope PMC
got any woods quests or want 2 learn woods I got u anylvl
me to
just legged two rats and a chad that had a meta hk
feels good
ks23 with shrapnel is busted
pog
Whats the full download size if i were to reinstall the game?
at least 3
like 25 gigs i think
Yikes i think better i just update current patch. i've not update since they announce the 14gb patch
i noticed that scav bosses wont spawn if theres not enough players in a raid
for how long its bene like that?
been*
i dont believe there's a direct correlation
there has to be
no scav bosses in raids that were most likely empty cause of my timezone
but once i know there are players in raid, i see scav bosses
tested on different maps during both day and night
Is it true if raid time suddenly drops to 5 min I don't have to extract and it still counts as survived?
For example if there is a server update.
Yes
it should work that way but id try to extract if possible shit gets weird
wouldnt worry too much though
i extracted, i saw a popup that my crafting is completed, got 2 errors on black screen and my game crashed 
oh typical extract then nice
Nice scam btw
where can i find a factory exit key?
on the flea
alright im looking for an opinion, how do you guys farm on more pop servers on any map other than snoreline and woods
with a decent survival rate
Interchange stash runs are pretty consistent 😊
Ive stayed away from interchange stash runs did everyone stop doing them all the sudden?
in terms of money do scavs
I super rarely run into any pmc's
just pray for big backpack and loot everything
just drink aquamarl, pop a sj6, loot basically whole of interchange within minutes, go for stashes if ur feeling even more greedy and then extract
What would a budget m4 look like? Id rather spend some more on good ammo while still having a decent gun. The weapon modding channel is being abused rn so im asking here
Do more flashlights actually do anything? Or is the idea purely to make the user blind too?
from what I hear, they improve hipfire spread
You mean improvements to your handling?
Isn't that lasers?
I mean more actually blinding someone
Do more flashlights work better?
Yes
But also they will blind you more
Also If the flashlight has a laser on any of the modules that you can switch to, it will provide a hipfire bonus. (Things like the X400)
If it is a flashlight only, it will not.
Same thing with IR bands
Alright cool, cause I can't find like a comparison vid or anything
IR bands?
Yes, the IR mode where you see a very dim red light
Supposed to use with NOD's but that's not how they work in the game right now
Ohhh
Someone help
That's what that is
A scav just one tapped me in the thorax while i was wearing lvl 4 armor
Wtf was that
Depends on the ammo they have
My thorax wasnt low. Mustve been a fragment i guess
I looked at the scav and was like oh yea its fone
And then my screen went black
anyone else have less money after the update?
And it does 81 flesh damage
Yea so it mustve fragmented.
I hadnt taken damage before that
Im going into woods with a 1911, a scav pack, and a dream
Just had some bad luck.
I have way too many weapon parts. Idk what to do. Like i sell the weapon parts i dont need, but i keep finding parts that i frequently put on my weapons, and they stack up faster than i die
But when i sell them, i die and have no parts and weapons get expensive
Lasers, optics, expensive handguards,
Stuff like that. I have so much but i dont know what do
screenshot
anyone know any good shoreline guides, only map i dont play beside for quests
(I'm kinda interested about shoreline too, I'm yet to actually play that map even though it's my second wipe.)
well no we're saying we want to run it
i just dont want to watch a shitty duide
guide*
I just ran through a ghost server
Like actually ghost
Saw signs of people being places. Never saw a person, only scav i saw was sniper scav, and no bodies anywhere or gunshots heard
Woods
How often is it that i'm up against a gamer pmc who has played pvp shooting games their entire life? like cod, or whatever? how much of an advantage do those people have against someone who has never touched them before aside from stuff like fallout?
Was near sawmill almost entire time. Eventually i got so comfortable i just kinda ran around like i owned the place.
Yea it can be empty at times
A lot
you’ve already screwed up when you let the fight develop into a pure contest of aim
don’t get into “fair fights”
Yea. Fair fights arent a thing in tarkov. Theres a winner and a loser. Pick a nice angle, and tap the other guys head before he even sees you
Don't get stuck in the cod face2face mindset
Ambushing/out playing is the way to go
Yea. Think about it this way. If you are rushing towards your opponent to fight face to face, their reticle is already on your head when your body comes into vision while yours is still not even up. Youve got to outplay them.
i don’t but using the map in a offline isn’t too confusing
pestilly probably has one though
