beginners-assistance

[idle tartan]

only this wipe did they make it a dumb change

[hexed briar]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 this guy has some morals

[crude mesa]

Doesn't that fuck your relationship with npc scavs and fence

[idle tartan]

it didn't use to

[shrewd fog]

whatever bro, keep doing you. seems like its working lmao

[idle tartan]

now it does for whatever reason

[narrow gull]

people asked

[quaint onyx]

they might even implement pmc rep so you can teven shoot half of the pmcs as a pmc

[wispy kelp]

I never memorize where the caches are so I miss em

[idle tartan]

lmao

they will 100% do that

"killing is bad, don't do it" 😦

guys please don't shoot me 😦

[quaint onyx]

people just yelling dicky needles and cease fire

[idle tartan]

and then killing you anyway

[serene adder]

any info on when wipe will happen?

[idle tartan]

december

either I'm wrong and happy or right and sad

[serene adder]

beginning of december?

[idle tartan]

no

[quaint onyx]

in 1 month should be close

[idle tartan]

it will be like christmas

[serene adder]

alright thanks a lot

[quaint onyx]

or maybe january

[idle tartan]

just after christmas

what level is flea market now?

[narrow gull]

15

[idle tartan]

why do they make the game worse with every update

[crude mesa]

Black Friday sale tho

[quaint onyx]

at the beginning of the wipe flea was 20

[idle tartan]

when I played it was level 5

[narrow gull]

we get it, maybe arena will be more to your liking, wait for it to be released

[quaint onyx]

they are just testing things out

its a beta

[idle tartan]

lmao

"it's a beta, we are not responsible if we make the game shit" B)

[shrewd fog]

it was funny at first but now its kinda cringe that youre still going

this is beginner assistance not bitch about the parts you dont like

[quaint onyx]

Super is a semi troll

[idle tartan]

lmao

no you guys are just toxic

[quaint onyx]

not a full blown troll but a semi

[shrewd fog]

wah wah game fucking sucks changed things i dont like wah wah

[quaint onyx]

like amateur maybe

[narrow gull]

i don't see how this is trolling but i feel like you can't objectively say it's good or bad, it's different and not to everyone's liking

[crude mesa]

Arena ?

[idle tartan]

I'm not trolling

[shrewd fog]

then go find a new game

[idle tartan]

They are just really stupid and rude people

[shrewd fog]

says the idiot that didnt know about scav karma

[idle tartan]

They don't have anything nice or smart to say so I don't waste my time with them lmao

instant block and ignore

[narrow gull]

i mean not everyone is following every piece of news around tarkov

[shrewd fog]

bro get out lol I gave you all the help politely and then you continued your bitchfest about the game

[idle tartan]

yeah I don't follow the news for this game

I just play it and see that they make it worse every time

the game is anti-solo and anti-new player

[quaint onyx]

dont take it to heart just move on

[idle tartan]

game is catered towards big groups of players who only play tarkov

[pure mist]

lol ofc

longer you play the better you get

same as every competitive game

[idle tartan]

^ I've blocked this guy too because of how dumb he is

[pure mist]

guess what i have you blocked too

[idle tartan]

everything he says is just plain wrong and I don't have the time to explain basics to him

[narrow gull]

i understand your position, i do not think the problem is with the game itself, it's not for everyone
but i do find issue in how bsg made one game 2-3 years ago and now drastically changes it to a different game leaving many people disappointed

[pure mist]

no idea why that dude just randomly call me dumb

[idle tartan]

that's the problem with betas

[pure mist]

maybe it's bc he still can't decide usec or bear

[idle tartan]

not even betas

[pure mist]

also he wants another fraction

[idle tartan]

any game people like that still has new content

[crude mesa]

Didn't the devs say this game isn't supposed to be fun for the average players

Like openly

[shrewd fog]

repeatedly

[narrow gull]

i'd say more bad management than bad developers
though in case of tarkov, there are so many deep rooted issues that i start questioning the developers too

[crude mesa]

That's why this game has Sherpa this chat ect

Gotta learn to enjoy

[idle tartan]

they're trying very hard to make it not fun

[dapper spoke]

I misread that

[crude mesa]

That's the point they are making. Time and time again from all these changes it seems. They don't want the average or casual player to have fun. But the people who are willing to put time into the game

[idle tartan]

game dies

[dapper spoke]

But Tarkov is a game that people will likely end up trying hard to grasp so they can have fun though

[narrow gull]

i think the big problem is they cater to people who put in the time but there's barely any end game content

[dapper spoke]

also theres a lot of guides and tutorials which makes the game easier

[shrewd fog]

lol just finished a scav raid and made 366K and its ready again in 9mins

game is too hard i quit

change it all

[pure mist]

game not for cry babies for sure, or, busy people

[crude mesa]

No it's not stupid it's their game they get to chose how they want it to cater towards

It's a filtering process

To weed out the people who aren't will and the people who are

[pure mist]

yeah lol they can do what ever they want

[shrewd fog]

and the game is getting new players, I stay killing levels under ten on factory lol

farewell so long, dont let the door hit you on the way out

[crude mesa]

If they lose a few unwilling players to don't give a damn causw the game seems to still be doing well for itself

If you don't like it good that's how they want it

[shrewd fog]

How we want it

brainwashed lmao

[narrow gull]

soviet anthem plays

[pure mist]

basically this dude is just crying game too hard

[shrewd fog]

Go play stardew valley bub

[pure mist]

dude's message deleted?

[narrow gull]

seems like a mod decided to stop this discussion

[pure mist]

the mod only deleted his message

[river rampart]

No more talk about that subject please.

[pure mist]

oh

it's Sessamy

[crude mesa]

Welp I guess I won this argument since I didn't get a counter but a personal attack

Roger sess

[river rampart]

As you were.

[shrewd fog]

comrade Sessamy we will drink vodka in ur name

[crude mesa]

I'm still level 5 and trash

[wispy kelp]

Seems i missed something

[wispy kelp]

welcome to the club im level 4 and pretty shit but its addicting

[hallow island]

i need a fat carry PLEASE, im on a really old laptop so i probably get like 10 fps and i dont get home until weekend

[inland marlin]

lol

[inland marlin]

bro its a 24 hr time limit

[hallow island]

yes??

thats the problem here

if it was weekly id be fine

but i literally dont get home until saturday

[inland marlin]

so how do you expect to do it then

[hallow island]

by having some batty boys do the pvping while i freeze 20 times a second while trying to get to a extract

[inland marlin]

while your at work or something?

lol

you can play where you are

?

[hallow island]

yeah with like 10 fps

[inland marlin]

jeez

[hallow island]

lol

[inland marlin]

thats rough

[narrow gull]

labs is actually much better performance wise than almost any other map save factory

you might get decent-ish frames even on older laptops

[rigid mirage]

can someone help me

[rich rose]

how bad is m855 if im shooting it out of an m4

[hallow island]

m855 is always horrible

[flat dew]

how much does black keycard sell for?

[solid agate]

so much people only barter for it

[flat dew]

is that a good thing?

[potent crater]

how does the game determine tagged vs not tagged and cursed?

[potent crater]

mechanic has a super nice barter for it (i think ~1.5 mil) and the flea is like 3 mil for it?

[narrow gull]

if you have a gun + rig or something like that

[potent crater]

ok my friend is good then

[flat dew]

i see, thx

[potent crater]

I was bringing his gear from a raid ago but didnt want him to be cursed

[flat dew]

so i should put mine up for 3m?

or do you reckon i can push it

[potent crater]

put it 1 ruble under the lowest deal for just money

or less

you dont want big ticket items to not sell

you lose a lot of rep i think

[narrow gull]

if you bring him his gear then tagged is just bonus

[flat dew]

there isn't any available for rubles rn

[narrow gull]

since scavs = easy exp and loot

[tough oyster]

why cant i do the barter with bitcoin? it always says offer was sold

[river rampart]

It gets sold out instantly

Many try to get it.

[narrow gull]

there's also a bug where it may show like it's available from traders when it's not

check on the flea

[dire kayak]

where do i get help if im new

i got the game yesterday

and having trouble killing

[narrow gull]

you can play in offline without losing your kit

[dire kayak]

i am

i dont know how i should be approaching the fights and if i should lean and all that

and moving

[real trellis]

after playing for a while you get used to it

best way to learn is to die

[dire kayak]

im dying to scavs....

[real trellis]

avoid them

[dire kayak]

well im practicing to kill them

[narrow gull]

keep cover nearby, scavs usually have long reaction time if they're not aggroed yet so you can take the time to line up a headshot
for headshots aim just slightly above where you'd normally(like top of head-ish), hip fire is OP, if you can bait scavs into pushing you(they move once every 10-20 seconds or so, basically you have to be patient on that end and wait) you can easily kill them as they have shit reaction

if scav is shooting at you take cover

[real trellis]

damn nice 144k views on a yt vid congratz man

[narrow gull]

most people assume that since scavs don't hit first 2 shots the 3rd won't be a headshot

[real trellis]

Really highlight Usually

[dire kayak]

thanks i had no motivation so i quite making vids

i should start again x_x

[real trellis]

i mean 2k subs is good you should keep it up

[narrow gull]

kinda imagine scavs as players but slow brain and they don't abuse mechanics like jiggle peeking and peeker's advantage

[dire kayak]

i have an iron sight so i cant see anything when lining up the shot

[real trellis]

play scav for a better gun or you can buy sights from traders

[narrow gull]

also don't peek from the same angle if you're getting shot

[dire kayak]

i dont know how to buy things lmao

[narrow gull]

traders -> select item -> auto fill at the bottom -> deal

[real trellis]

Depending on the item you want

[dire kayak]

which one

[real trellis]

Click on the item you want and press deal to buy it

[real trellis]

for sights its going to be mechanic or fence

[dire kayak]

i have so many unknown items

[narrow gull]

middle click to identify

[real trellis]

you get xp for every item you indentify

take some time to do them all for every trader

also it saves time in game if you find that item again

[dire kayak]

how do i know if the sight will be compatible

[potent crater]

anyone want a carry through factory? IDC why but im level 41 and just looking to carry anyone through factory that might be looking for delivery from the past, chemical part 3 (i think), post man pat, anything really unless you have to get kills because i wouldnt be helpful

[narrow gull]

presets, but you need workbench lvl1

otherwise you just do from playing enough

[real trellis]

i did my delivery from the past yesterday

[real trellis]

Fence sells guns with sights on however they are usually overpriced

[potent crater]

skier has a sight???

[dire kayak]

what do i use dorm keys for?

[real trellis]

some are for missions some are useless some give good loot

depends on the key

i would suggest looking up the keys on wiki as there is loads of them just for dorms

[potent crater]

opening doors in dorms which is the super populated area for pvp and loot in customs

at the north of the map

but some dorms keys are ass, some are amazing and some are for quests

[dire kayak]

why are some guns red in Fence

[narrow gull]

missing vital parts

like gas block

[shrewd fog]

Got a weekly where I need to find green ice drinks, where are you guys finding them at lately

[narrow gull]

woods

[shrewd fog]

Usec? or

usec camp?

[narrow gull]

the village with all the food

near bridge extract

[shrewd fog]

scav camp area?

ooo

gotcha

[gray rose]

How can you make this game brighter? I just ran into 2 pmc's in 2 different raids

[real trellis]

Or in the middle it’s called like sawmill where the three little cabins are they have foods as drinks in for days

[gray rose]

Didn't notice them standing in dorms

[shrewd fog]

change settings on the monitor worked for me

[gray rose]

Because it was dark

I did

[real trellis]

Postfx settings

[shrewd fog]

also dorms is dark bring a light and change post f x

[real trellis]

Go offline and fiddle with them until it works with you

[gray rose]

Yeah I'll try that, I literally ran into pmc almost moved past him and got slammed hahah

[tepid garnet]

Whats the point of raid backpacks if you dont have a mule?

I easily reach 50kg with just a tri zip so like a raid backpack seems so overkill

[dire kayak]

is the flea market good to buy from?

[tepid garnet]

Depends what you are buying dude

[dire kayak]

idk what you can even buy

[shrewd fog]

@narrow gull found 2 cans and then died lol i hate woods

[gray rose]

Can someone explain

Like how do people lob grenades from meth building is beyond me, where did he throw it to kill me if he was inside of the meth house with his buddy

or do grenades go through the wall?

[narrow gull]

could stepped out and ricochet off the wall

could be just major desync

i think there was also a hack that allowed people to just land grenades at other's feet

idk could be any of those

[gray rose]

I mean I don't recall meth house having windows on my side right?

[narrow gull]

no there are not

[gray rose]

I heard him move on the stairs so he was on the stairs or second floor, checking mags

Yeah that's what I thought and it was vog

that shit takes a second to explode so that's what made me suspicious

[real trellis]

Press caps lock and you walk slower if you didnt know it

so people cant really hear you

[gray rose]

I did

But I had loot so I was making noise

Because of weight

[shrewd fog]

im thinking audio got mixed up and dude was by busses when he lobbed it

[gray rose]

I did notice audio mix up sometimes and crackle but not to this extend

Where I get nades shoved up my ass like this

Hahaha

[shrewd fog]

I have had issues with customs more than anymap and proper stair audio

[gray rose]

Yeah, I did marked room run before this raid and 2 guys ran past me and they didn't notice me walk around and stuff, maybe it's just the audio bug or something

[real trellis]

Welp just slowed walked to a door made no noise what so ever just about to open it i get one tapped through it yikes

[shrewd fog]

you probably made more noise than you thought

[real trellis]

considering there was 3 on them all running around jumping on the cabinet in office window i doubt it

factory

[remote onyx]

my ak is almost max recoil reduction

now all i need is the zhukov s stock

[tough oyster]

how do a convert euros to rubs

its end of wipe so not like im gunna build a solar panel or somthing

[shrewd fog]

just found a slic in a cache on custom

hell yeah

[crisp nest]

You also need Troy handguard don't you

Also the nv sight that's shit does minis recoil I think

[shrewd fog]

i thought VS an troy were the same

[tough oyster]

which nv sight?

[bronze palm]

could anyone help me get a sicc case

[shrewd fog]

i am not at a high enough level yet

[bronze palm]

what lvl is it

[shrewd fog]

I think its a barter with Jaeger lvl 4

[crisp nest]

^

[pure mist]

35

[shrewd fog]

its also like 900K

[bronze palm]

RIp

[shrewd fog]

so nobody will jsut give you one

[pure mist]

why do you need a sicc case

[dusk token]

I have a docs case im not using

[pure mist]

docs case does the job

[bronze palm]

dont have enough room in my docs case for all the shorleline keys

[dusk token]

Gotta get a keytool

One slot 16 keys

Although slick lets you pick up $$

[pure mist]

that's how i run it, one keytool one docs

[dusk token]

Im running dual keytools for reserve all 29 keys

W/gamma container

[obtuse shoal]

just started the game anyone willing to help me do my starter tasks and get weapons

[foggy comet]

Just started a few days ago anyone willing to help me learn

[dusk token]

Ill help you both @foggy comet @obtuse shoal

Send dm

[foggy comet]

kk

[cyan basin]

anyone know how to fix this?

[bold kernel]

how are people able to keep shooting one leg

[crisp nest]

I would uninstall reinstall

[bold kernel]

tagilla moves too fast

[river rampart]

This can take hours and sometimes a whole day, depending on the problem. Let it be for an hour and if it's still doing it, I'd consider redownloading the game from scratch if your internet speed is decent for around 13GB

[remote onyx]

i am using the troy handguard

[tepid garnet]

Nah just kill him. Ez

[inner mountain]

anyone need help learning a map or questing?

[cyan basin]

@river rampart nah you right i j ate and came back and its at 30

thanks ❤️

[river rampart]

No problem

[remote onyx]

lucky scav junk boxes clutch af

[tawdry shuttle]

hm where they was? am I'm missing something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd1XhRroZxc

[unique steeple]

Stronghold

Most likely

[wide goblet]

can you put a silencer on mk 18

[wispy willow]

no

[undone flax]

anyone wanna show me da way of labs i need a father

[fleet sluice]

so... i know guns dont aim where the central dot is, but this is something else, its not even close, gun's at 98,9/100

also happens with holosun scope, only its barely noticeable

doesnt happen with akm

[tiny oxide]

Its the distance between gun and sight its zeroed at 50m, so at 50m it would be accurate, closer you are to the target, more noticable that differnce is where the bullets land

MOA and durability wouldnt rlly make a difference there

[fleet sluice]

also tried shooting at the farthest target, i could miss by almost an inch and still get the headshot, i could hit a chin and make that a thorax clean hit

i dont know how far are the targets at the range, but its really weird

[tiny oxide]

hmm, It mostly is the height difference in sight and barrel but shouldnt be that bad

[undone flax]

anyone wanna show me da way of labs i need a father

[tiny oxide]

about 30m from furthest standing target I think

my guess atleast

or 20m

idk x3

wait probs 10-20

[crisp nest]

Farthest is 20-30

[fleet sluice]

well, i was making that ak74 for a friend im going to buy the game for, but i dont know if i should give it because of that, akm works just fine and is 68 durability, i didnt wanted to give him the akm because of its recoil, i tried the 2x small scope and also happens...

[remote onyx]

i got the zhukov lets go

[fleet sluice]

GGs

[tiny oxide]

hmm

[tough oyster]

heres an example of zeroing, basically because of ur sight being higher than the barrel, you will zero your sight so that the bullet hits where you're aiming at a certain distance

ignore the top graph

[tiny oxide]

yh looks a bit... not accurate

[tough oyster]

so if ur zeroed at 50m, the difference between your sight and bullet will decrease up until 50m where it would line up

[tiny oxide]

yh

[fleet sluice]

sks counts as precision rifle? if it does im giving him a tapco sks for a cheap ass 35k roubles

[tough oyster]

and it will increase again until the bullet falls back down

[tiny oxide]

Its just an example of the zeroing, not directly related to the game

[tough oyster]

technically there are usually 2 zeros

[remote onyx]

with dogshit nvg

[tiny oxide]

oh gud

god*

not that shitty sight

[fleet sluice]

jesus christ

[tiny oxide]

nice 3x4 length weapon?

or 3x5

lol

[remote onyx]

without dogshit nvg

[remote onyx]

yeah 3x5

[tiny oxide]

yh thats better

[remote onyx]

its horrendous

[tiny oxide]

ikr

[fleet sluice]

that scope should be a melee weapon

[tiny oxide]

haha

[fleet sluice]

it would be more useful

[tiny oxide]

Just bonk them with the "flashlight"

[remote onyx]

scary

[tough oyster]

heres a more realistic example using 6.5 creed

[fleet sluice]

and is there a 25m zeroing option?

[tiny oxide]

depend the site

some do

the DP site has 25m i believe

but doesnt make tooo much of a difference between 25 and 50m

[tough oyster]

imo 50m is usually better

irl that is

[remote onyx]

it makes such a minimal difference

there isnt really a point to 25m zeroing

[tiny oxide]

yh

UNLESS the gun has slow as fuck bullets

[remote onyx]

i guess if you literally cant miss the shot

[tough oyster]

cus lower the zero, the higher the arc, so you might miss something if you aiming somewhere 100-200m

[fleet sluice]

i play airsoft but i usually let a friend do the zeroing when i dont use the scope for a while xDDD also is a red dot and i usually dont tell the difference

[tough oyster]

whereas a 50m zero is kinda flat, and also gives you a 200m zero

[tiny oxide]

wait wut how

Dont think it works in this game

[remote onyx]

zeroing scopes is kind of annoying with airsoft guns if its a flimsy scope that loses its zero easily

[tiny oxide]

Thats why u dont use flimsy scopes :v

[remote onyx]

yeah but when you dont the scope is worth more than the gun youre using

its a fine balance

[tough oyster]

it should if ur hitting lower than ur sight

[tiny oxide]

yh

[fleet sluice]

actually is not, its an old holosun his father had and he lend it to me because he was using a better one

[remote onyx]

oh a holosun

[tiny oxide]

oh your saying about compensating for bullet drop youself?

eh whatever I can snipe in this game :V

/take different engagements

[tough oyster]

i was talking about zeroing

[fleet sluice]

@tough oyster im going to test it in an offline raid to 50+ meters, just to be safe, thanks a lot though

[red flame]

leave it to a tiger to be sensitive.

[tiny oxide]

wdym?

[inner mountain]

why are ospreys 130k as level 4 armor

[tough oyster]

tldr, this game should have irl-like bullet drop unlike warzone and battlefield

https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3015205/posts

heres a good article if anyone wants to read

[tiny oxide]

Idk what you mean by sensitive, but ok, just getting confused on what he is trying to say :v

[tough oyster]

tldr, 25m zero would result in 8inch difference between sight and bullet path at range

[red flame]

woah, woah, woah. you good there, tiger?

[tough oyster]

while 50m is only 2 inch

[tiny oxide]

Oki and now comes the toxicity I see

[tough oyster]

therefore a 25m zero would probably cause you to miss targets at range

[red flame]

crackin' a cold one for you, brew.

[tiny oxide]

your super funny

anyone wanna show me da way of labs i need a father

is the compass like knife or will i lose it every raid

[real trellis]

you dont lose knife/armband and compass

[bold kernel]

thanks

[real trellis]

np if you want any cream lmk

GRRRRRRRRR

[undone flax]

anyone wanna show me da way of labs i need a father

[tough oyster]

im a noob and i tried labs a lot, tbh not really worth it when ur new

and from my experience, people looking for lab groups tend to not want noobs for partners and horde the loot

[merry dust]

gl

i wuldnt

its reserve

resrve cringe

[winter breach]

ez pz

factory runs

[proven talon]

no

it's for reserve

[winter breach]

ah i didnt see the map

also not bad just will take longer

[bold kernel]

dose crafting an item count as found in raid?

[winter breach]

yes

[real trellis]

my scav run in inspired to be a doctor

[zinc canopy]

i see nothing wrong with this

[finite monolith]

yes

[bold kernel]

BUBBA

[merry dust]

What

The fuck

is that.

[finite monolith]

skill

[bold kernel]

just got a ash 12 from a quest i cant get ammo or more mags is it worth keeping

[zinc canopy]

no

its not worth using unless you get the quests done unfortunately

[analog field]

anyone need low level quest help? 18+nae

[bold kernel]

is worth keeping to sell to the flea (im lvl 14)

[analog field]

its only like 58k

iirc

[bold kernel]

so worth much more than selling to the traders

[zinc canopy]

its like 70k on flea sometimes

how much is it to traders

[merry dust]

imagine not having 2 vodka barter

[analog field]

wait flea is 15 now right?

[merry dust]

30k ash12

[merry dust]

Ye

[pure mist]

also not worth using unless you got good recoil control skills

[analog field]

yeah wait for flea hah prob

[bold kernel]

63k to mechanic

[zinc canopy]

its recoil isnt that bad for a cqb gun

[merry dust]

also ps12b is expensive af without grenadier

[pure mist]

still with low recoil control skill it is quite hard to use

[zinc canopy]

just vendor it

[bold kernel]

k

[zinc canopy]

i have low recoil skill its super easy to use. on full auto it can be hard but tap firing it is easy

for people not used to it its kinda bad but if you get used to it man is it fun

[analog field]

for sure fun but imo hard to use, ive shredded some people with it

[bold kernel]

im so poor that running any gun regularly wound bankrupt me

[solid agate]

wut

do u scav run

[bold kernel]

im so poor in fact i deck out toz's

for the funny

[solid agate]

doesnt that make u rich

[bold kernel]

meh

[merry dust]

no

high scav karma does

anytime I see a toz I see a labs card

[solid agate]

mhmm

[bold kernel]

deck out...

[merry dust]

sigh

5 round mags are 1k more

[bold kernel]

ik that to much

[merry dust]

bro

how

[bold kernel]

also i have no flea and jager lvl 1 so no 5 rounders for moi

unless skier but her mark up to much

is paca armor worth keeping

[bold kernel]

no

[crude mesa]

oki

[zinc canopy]

It stops some scavs and some shot guns.

[fading ferry]

This fucking game is impossible. Can't even play as a scav, without a player scav shooting me in the face.

[elfin elm]

learning curve

[bold kernel]

welcome to tarkov

we're all trying to escape this hell

[errant yacht]

You sure it was a player scav? That’s pretty rare these days

[zinc canopy]

Not so rare

[bold kernel]

yeah its pretty common

[elfin elm]

still somewhat uncommon

not rare

but not commonplace

[bold kernel]

i always stay away from other player scavs and dont let them out of my line of sight just in case

[elfin elm]

always a good idea

[errant yacht]

I don’t scav much and normally on factory which I guess ends badly if you shoot a friendly scav lol

[fading ferry]

Scav name with a report button next to it, so I'm pretty sure

[jaunty flume]

does anyone want to run labs with me?

[bold kernel]

i mean factory is just a cesspool of violence you cant really blame scav on scav there

[fading ferry]

Mine was on interchange. I'm not even level 10 yet, so just trying to learn one map for now.

[pure talon]

any <10 level players who need help?

[fading ferry]

Lol me, but I head to work in 30 minutes🙄

[bold kernel]

idk if interchange is the move rn for a first map

[elfin elm]

it's good for money

and it's a square

caches are what you should start with

and it's easy for that

[bold kernel]

ever since the power station rat tactic became meta its been really weird

so many campers everywhere now

it'd be hell as a beginner

[elfin elm]

eh

it's been kinda fine

[fading ferry]

Seems much easier to learn than customs, I always get turned around. With interchange, I can find my way to extracts pretty easy

[zinc canopy]

Customs is my favorite map to do anything on

Sniping or rushing people

[bold kernel]

i literally run to kiba every run, peek the corner and aim up at the second floor and blind fire and get someone every time because its such a common tactic now to sit there lmao

[bold kernel]

i guess its easier to find extracts but i think customs is a better beginner map overall considering most early tasks are there

[pure talon]

First two people under level 25 who'll DM will receive free T7 goggles. 😉

[fading ferry]

I think once I get a new mic, I'll have to try and group up with a Sherpa or something. Having a hell of a time.

[bold kernel]

yeah even if not sherpas, playing w experienced players too is a whole different experience

youll die a lot less and learn a lot more

[pure talon]

^ this

[bold kernel]

some of them can be kinda weird on this server tho ngl

[elfin elm]

.>

<.<

not me says I

[bold kernel]

yeah youre not weird

youre just basic

(pls tell me you get the joke)

(or else this is very embarassing)

[elfin elm]

:p

lol

[merry dust]

u aren’t a beginner tho

many beginners don’t know where to check

[elfin elm]

well if they check a map, youtube, or the discord

they'll usually be point in the right direction

[merry dust]

some places come with common sense

and I think most beginners don’t even watch those

unless pointed in the direction to

[remote onyx]

bruh why the fuck did my scav remove the dust cover from his vss

[zinc canopy]

It didn’t have one when he found it

[remote onyx]

scavs have a deep hatred of dust covers for no reason

[ionic trench]

and stocks

[merry dust]

and durability

[ionic trench]

true

mfs cannot seem to find anything above 50 dura

[merry dust]

my favorite thing is the 45 rounders on a no stock dust cover t45m1 gzh ak

those are quite the arsenal

[remote onyx]

My favorites are the no dust cover no stock 10 round magazine 366 fmj vpo 236 scavs

Dont forget no backpack plus tv 101 rig

[zinc canopy]

I just wonder where the hell they got stms from

[tough oyster]

tfw when i died 6 raids in a row

[elfin elm]

once again no scav snipers

took out reshala an co though

found a poor lvl 11 guy killed by one of the guards

[gray rose]

When do you guys recommend wearing slick, I found it as a scav but I don't have any major pimped out guns

I do have like some ak's and m4's with maybe 2 mags of ignolik and m61 but other than that it's ps and m855 ammo, should I keep it until I get better guns and ammo or should I use it?

I'm lvl 19 btw

[elfin elm]

when the armor matches the gun

[crude mesa]

how do you get a headset on this helmet

[elfin elm]

matching kit generally

[elfin elm]

you don't

helmets fall into two pools

CAN use with a headset

and CAN'T use witha headset

[gray rose]

Where can I find matching kits?

[crude mesa]

ah okay

[elfin elm]

a little bit later traders, or flea

[crude mesa]

aside from that does this kit look solid currently level 5

[elfin elm]

you may wind up paying through the nose for particularly good gear via flea though

[elfin elm]

lvl 5? protection wise you're pretty solid

though personally I prefer headphones vs a faceshield

[gray rose]

Oooh so it's recommended to have good ammo to compliment lvl 6 armor, otherwise using bt rounds or m855 with it is bad?

[crude mesa]

i have a lvl 4 headgear that can use a headset

[elfin elm]

the general logic is that if it takes you an entire mag dump to kill a guy

and you armor can possibly protect you more

[crude mesa]

ar PS ammo good?

[elfin elm]

IF they hit your chest

then you should get better bullets instead

most vets prefer better ammo

[zinc canopy]

545 or 762

[elfin elm]

to better armor

[crude mesa]

545 39

[zinc canopy]

Awful

[elfin elm]

which one btw?

[crude mesa]

oh

cant get anything else rn

[zinc canopy]

Can head shot people but don’t expect to pen much armor

[elfin elm]

it be what it be

can you buy the aks-74u yet?

[crude mesa]

lemme check

who would i get that from

flea or npc

[elfin elm]

prapor

the gun comes with a mag full of bp, which is acceptable ammo

[zinc canopy]

Buying a gun for the ammo lmao

[elfin elm]

so you can repeat buy the gun, and sell it back to mechanic at a bit of a loss

yeah

[crude mesa]

cant yet

[elfin elm]

perhaps stick to 7.62 guns till then

[zinc canopy]

You can also do that with the black p90s

[crude mesa]

these are thelvl 4 helms i have

[elfin elm]

this one

imo

[zinc canopy]

That’s level 3

[crude mesa]

oop

[elfin elm]

is a better choice, even though lower lvl

cus it covers your ears

tc-2002 does not

[zinc canopy]

Both aren’t worth buying IMO

[elfin elm]

buying?

low lvl, no

neither

but since you already have them

I'd run the ratnik

how long have you been playing?

[crude mesa]

uh

ive been on and off but this is the first time im actually trying to learn the game

most ofmy time i was being hand held by my friends

[tough oyster]

better than me when i first started

[remote onyx]

Sell it to ragman it's an instant 250k

The same amount it goes for on flea

[remote onyx]

30k for a mag of bp

Insane meta tactics

[zinc canopy]

Depends on how much you can vendor it for

[remote onyx]

Also @crude mesa I would recommend using something like tarkov market to check the price of items on flea mid game

Good way to tell if it's worth looting or not when you're completely new and know nothing

It's a website

[supple herald]

For any beginners, I have a docs case I dont need, big help, just reply to this or DM me

[crude mesa]

ill give it a look see thanks

[bold kernel]

whats a good FOV?

[fringe latch]

any new players that want to play? i just want to do some tasks and lvl up.

[merry dust]

110 or none ez gg

[bold kernel]

fr?

[merry dust]

no

[bold kernel]

lol

[merry dust]

I play max tho

[bold kernel]

dayum

what levle are y

[merry dust]

46

[bold kernel]

forsure

[merry dust]

fosho

[merry dust]

it’s up to you tho

max fov gets rid of range with the eotech n shit

https://medal.tv/clips/4VRtbVw_1MHGh/i054GSJi4L

which is why you might need a vudu etc

it’s all how you play

and what gun etc

[tough oyster]

what fov i should play on?

in other games i play on 100, but tarkov doesnt go to 100 so i play on max fov. Later i discovered that a lot of streamers dont play on max fov. apparently u miss more?

[frank oyster]

I wouldn’t recommend playing on max since it does make it harder to hit and see targets with a 1x sight, especially if they are a little bit further away. I would recommend using something like around ~7 under max

[nova mantle]

What’s the best way to have a stable income

[tough oyster]

loot runs that avoid people

better at night

but gets kinda boring

there was a japanese guy on the EFT subreddit recently that got 1 billion stash worth this wipe just doing that

[frank oyster]

There are several things that are required for that. One of them is having a reliable loot run you can do whenever. An other thing is that you have to have a reliable source of getting gear and ammo rather cheap. With cheap I mean not paying premium prices on the flea for BP rounds or something(m80 with the rfb and 6b3tm armor is a great budget set up). And also make sure you are making money from your hideout.
Once you learn to master al three money won’t be an issue

[tough oyster]

Btw do any of yall noob feel burnt out after a while? I've pretty much learnt all of the game mechanics and most of the maps and can quite easily get 100-500k per loot run, but I still suck at pvp cus I lack game sense for this game

Yesterday and today I tried pvp, died like 10/12 raids and burnt through 3 mil

[somber summit]

Thats tarkov as long as you dont understand the map, spawns, player routes etc

The biggest part in pvp is map knowledge atleast for me.

Everybody can aim with a gun with sub 50 recoil. But picking the right moment to engage, the right place to engage etc is something thats only learned over time

Once you actually know a map, youre not gonna lose that much simply from knowing where to go and where not@tough oyster

[dense monolith]

anyone help me get jaeger after im back from school

[buoyant mason]

I’ll be running with a few newer folk this evening from the SherpaHub, youre more than welcome to tag along!

[dense monolith]

[buoyant mason]

Will be around from 5 UK time 🥳

[dense monolith]

ok what do you mean from sherpa hub?

[buoyant mason]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[buoyant mason]

It’s a discord based mainly on helping new players get into the game, very helpful and always people down to run with beginners 😊

[dense monolith]

ok im level 20 but i always get sniped in woods and never been able to extract with the paper lmao

[buoyant mason]

Can happily give it a go today matey, just drop me a message when you’re about 🥳

[dense monolith]

ok

[hallow island]

1 word: woods 👍

[somber summit]

[bold kernel]

[potent parcel]

k thx

[short sonnet]

need help with search mission quest

[real trellis]

point blank aiming for the legs with a shotgun

*flechette rounds

[zinc canopy]

Why you trying to leg meta with flechette

[real trellis]

i dont have the flea market

only ones that are usable to me

[zinc canopy]

Yes but they absolutely destroy armor

They are better than any buckshot

[real trellis]

considering 461 dmge absorbed i doubt the even touch armour

[zinc canopy]

What armor where they wearing

[real trellis]

no clue

but its still point blank thats what im saying

[zinc canopy]

It takes 3 shots to kill someone wearing a full health slick btw

[real trellis]

shouldnt have nothing to do with armour

"realistic" game but cant kill someone thats 2m infront me with a shotgun

[narrow gull]

if you leg meta even 7mm buckshot is much better than flechette

[zinc canopy]

I mean your using one of the least damaging shells for leg meta so yea makes sense a bit

[zinc canopy]

Yes but leg meta only goes so far flechette take you all the way with somehow less aiming involved

[real trellis]

read the god damn image even if it hit armour which some did obviously how tf is all of it getting absorved

[zinc canopy]

Whole mag was flechette yea?

[real trellis]

yes

and i had 20 on me

i shot from behind aswell he was wearing the switchblade bp

[zinc canopy]

The damage absorbed by armor makes sense if they are wearing class 6

[brittle canyon]

flechette is very effective against armor but only by shredding them down to zero

so you need to land a couple solid shots before you start dealing damage

high blocked damage count is normal

[zinc canopy]

If they are wearing class 6 or high end class 5

Most class 4 it goes through one or two shots

[foggy comet]

Anyone willing to help a new player with raids and basics

[primal breach]

how much shoreline runs would it take to find a red keycard

[pure mist]

a lot

you'd be better off farming the money (lets say 45 mil) than finding one

[unique steeple]

more than 1

[pure mist]

ofc theres always a chance but it's quite slim

[chrome marsh]

how do I get the black keycard, its always sold out by mechanic

[celest sage]

People say it’s a 1/400 chance and there’s three spawns so

[primal breach]

i don't think they're three

[celest sage]

Wdym

[primal breach]

they're 5

[celest sage]

The unlocked room in east, west 216, basement of west

Oh yeah btw the wiki is usually wrong for stuff like this

[celest sage]

Oh yeah forgot about admin

It’s 4

[primal breach]

it's 5

[celest sage]

But it doesn’t spawn in west 203

[primal breach]

maybe it does

[celest sage]

I’d say it’s very very unlikely

[chrome marsh]

I want black keycard not red

and whats the best way of getting green keycard?

[pure mist]

find all fir gpus

[celest sage]

I’ve seen so so many videos of people finding them in all of the other spots but never one there, many streamers say that it doesn’t actually spawn there, in loot spawn guides they mysteriously don’t mention it

[pure mist]

or taiga/rivals that

[celest sage]

Save up the 1.5m for it

[chrome marsh]

I got 5 mil

[celest sage]

Buy black from mechanic

[pure mist]

hope it's better now, beginning of wipe was easy, couple weeks ago it was so damn hard to get one

[primal breach]

ez

[chrome marsh]

I will try I have all the items for barter

[celest sage]

I bought one yesterday first try

[chrome marsh]

restock in 5 min wish me luck :))

[celest sage]

Look at the flea page not the trader

[open halo]

whats up with player scavs killing scavs even when you wiggle at them and voice line and they wiggle back then they shoot you in the back like whats the point in doing scav runs if player scavs are just gonna kill you

[hallow island]

only restock i wait for is 55a1 🥵 🥵

[primal breach]

i got it first try

[celest sage]

Spam f5 with your mouse over the purchase button, as soon as it is purchase click and then click purchase at the bottom as it auto selects

[pure mist]

you got all the materials right?

[chrome marsh]

okay

yes

wtf

instantly out of stock

[primal breach]

ledx costs 40k roubles irl

[quaint onyx]

i found 1 in amazon for 600 dollars

i didnt know it just illuminates veins like its just a fucking fancy light

[primal breach]

they should add a use to ledx in game

[quaint onyx]

you need ledx in your inventory to shoot up drugs

[primal breach]

yes

so you hit the vein

[quaint onyx]

but then they should add the drugs in the game

[primal breach]

15 uses and then you need to change the green bat

tactically reload the battery

[buoyant mason]

Am I blind or are all of those non-fir?😅

[primal breach]

yes, they aren't

[buoyant mason]

That’s a lot o’ dying 😅

[quaint onyx]

maybe he made them in the hideout

[buoyant mason]

No because they’d be FIR then

[quaint onyx]

oh shit yes you are right

bought them

[buoyant mason]

Who knows, not like it matters I guess, still a few mil there 😊

[primal breach]

it's a thicc items case barter

so it's 17 mil

:)

[celest sage]

gg it’s like 12m right

Did you sell your thicc to buy that

[primal breach]

nah

farming

[celest sage]

So do you still have your other thicc

[primal breach]

i have 2 thiccs in total

including the barter items

[solid agate]

his hacks let me him clone loot xD

[honest socket]

hi

[merry dust]

always

[merry dust]

he sold his red for it

he bought a red and sold it immediately

smh

[celest sage]

What

How

[merry dust]

i got no clue

but he sold it real quick

[celest sage]

That’s not how fir works

[solid agate]

he now has 2 thiccs total

[crude mesa]

whats considered good ammo for AKMs i only have PS

[honest socket]

I encountered this problem, should I find help here?

[merry dust]

nah inraid trading

[crude mesa]

cause i dont know if these are worth keeping or not

[celest sage]

Very broad issue

[solid agate]

not really

are u gonna use them

if no then sell

[celest sage]

I like pp ammo

[solid agate]

bruh

isnt pp bad

[merry dust]

none really

[merry dust]

nah

lke 30 pen or sumn

[solid agate]

unless he means ppbs?

[merry dust]

better than ps

[solid agate]

isnt bp the meta

[merry dust]

yeah

[crude mesa]

sell em i guess and just stick with VPO untill i can buy better ammo ?

[merry dust]

bp gzh

not bp gs

[solid agate]

no for ak

bp is like middle of the pack for ak

then bs then bt

[merry dust]

7.62 and 5.45 are both ak

[solid agate]

and ppbs

[merry dust]

no

[honest socket]

I can't play the game right now，cs this problem

[merry dust]

bp < bt< bs< igolbik

or ppbs

bs is 52 pen

igolbik is like 61

bp is 35

bt is 37

[solid agate]

so bs is the sweet spot

[merry dust]

worth more than igolnik

[solid agate]

why

[celest sage]

BP for 5.45 is terrible anyone who buys it is really misinformed

[solid agate]

isnt igolnick 2k a shot

[merry dust]

igolnik cant one tap som etimes

igolnik 1k

[solid agate]

so its good pen but not high flesh

[merry dust]

thats how it works yeah

[celest sage]

Correct

[solid agate]

kinda like ssa ap

[merry dust]

yup

[celest sage]

Kinda

[solid agate]

so most people run bs or bt?

[celest sage]

But BP for ak is terrible

Never buy it

[solid agate]

i had 600 rounds i used to kill scavs

[celest sage]

PP is 1/4 the price and almost exactly the same as BP, way funnier name too

[solid agate]

not sure how i ended up with 600

[merry dust]

on average yeah

normally bs

bt is budget

[solid agate]

so bp

bt

bs

from worse to best

[quaint onyx]

speak in calibers not aks please

[celest sage]

Replace bp with pp

[quaint onyx]

there is akm that uses 762

[celest sage]

And ak103

[solid agate]

so

pp bs bt

[merry dust]

then igolnik yeah

[solid agate]

bruh i have a headache rn hard to think straight

[merry dust]

103 102 101 104 105 74m 74n

[merry dust]

pp bp bt bs ppbs

[celest sage]

In order of worst to best ignoring price imo is pp bt bs pond

[quaint onyx]

3 different calibers bro

[merry dust]

yes lol

[celest sage]

Those all use different calibers lmao

[merry dust]

shush

theyre all aks

[quaint onyx]

and when 762 and 545 both have bp it is confusing for newbies

[merry dust]

true

bp gzh is god

bp gs isnt

simply put ez ggs.

[quaint onyx]

i wonder if they will implement the newish 6.something caliber

[merry dust]

?

[solid agate]

imagine if they add 50 cal

[quaint onyx]

i dont remember the exact

[merry dust]

what calibre?

[solid agate]

other then the 12 guage 50 cal

[merry dust]

im intrueigjgg

[solid agate]

intruiged*

[quaint onyx]

its 6.something

[merry dust]

6. WHAT

[solid agate]

6.0 gpa

[merry dust]

sounds like shit ammo

[quaint onyx]

i read about it in an article

[merry dust]

thats like a whole 160%

[solid agate]

ur shit ammo

[merry dust]

[celest sage]

I keep buying more thinking I’ll start doing runs but then I end up just playing shoreline

[solid agate]

skier

[celest sage]

I have like 16 keycards in my stash

[solid agate]

therapist quests are easier to do

[visual fiber]

[solid agate]
