[bold kernel]

Alright, thanks.

[honest shore]

[red blaze]

Could someone help me out with Bunker Part 1 from prapor

[honest shore]

If you want a group the best place is #pvp-lfg, if you need advice you'll need to be more specific.

[main jetty]

if u guys can backpack us were ok with that

[fickle garden]

na it would be us more so as our stuff is 50/50 in killing pmcs

[honest shore]

Best place to actually find a player to play with you is either #sherpa-info or #pvp-lfg. If you have questions this is the place

[main jetty]

ok thanks

[frail spruce]

if any newer players would like help running their quests or learning about tarkov hit me up

[near plover]

what are the roooms in 3rd story that have safes?

[proper island]

274 rounds of iggolnik

[bold kernel]

the ones that have safes

[honest shore]

204 and 214

2 story has one in 105, 110, and 114.

[golden glen]

when u lost it all 😭

back to rat running lmao

[honest shore]

Scav time

[golden glen]

ah tue

true

i did a final labs run and got slammed lol

lol when is wipe?

[merry dust]

i did not get slammed

labs is easy

[golden glen]

next month?

[merry dust]

12/12 hopefully

[honest shore]

Teased for 12/12, not confirmed. Most likely this month.

[golden glen]

ayyyyyy

nice

[bold kernel]

probably wont be until 24th

cause the tourney is going on till 18th

i doubt theyll wipe in the middle

[golden glen]

tourney?

tf

this game esports ready?

[bold kernel]

nah its evasion

[merry dust]

not at ALL

[bold kernel]

can someone tell me why my scavs are 30 min long now? i just did one and now i have to wait 30 min

[honest shore]

You killing other scavs?

30 mins might just be default honestly

[bold kernel]

ya i am watching a vid right now and he said it was because i was killing scavs 😦

[honest shore]

Yeah, don't do that.

[bold kernel]

Because i just ran interchange and killa
shot at me

[honest shore]

Yeah bosses shoot at you if you get too close.

So keep your distance

[solid agate]

whats the easiest way to get 6.4k exp

[honest shore]

And killing bosses ruins scav rep

[solid agate]

that doesnt require much effort

[bold kernel]

ok thanks!

[bold kernel]

3 raids?

[solid agate]

without doing anything

[honest shore]

If you want to earn it back extract with scavs and use car extracts with scav or PMC.

[bold kernel]

gunsmith

[solid agate]

i could find 2 screw nuts

im lvl 39

5.5k away from 40

[bold kernel]

run back of goshan

[solid agate]

where can i find 2 screw nuts and 3 duct tape

is screw nut the pack or the actual nut itself

[bold kernel]

^

[bold kernel]

the nut

[solid agate]

do they just spawn on shelves

[bold kernel]

nah theres like 3 toolboxes there

[solid agate]

ive never seen then spawn solo on shelves

[bold kernel]

you can also try filing cabs and duffel bags

[honest shore]

Best spot is in the big crates with barter and the like, and in duffels and tool boxes, notably the latter.

[solid agate]

i could afk on woods for 7 mins each raid but i keep dieing to bullshit

i have a surv 3 times on woods

[bold kernel]

how

everytime i go woods i literally run into noone

[solid agate]

to be fair im playing with no headphones no guns

im running on edge of map

and somehow

there is always someone camping their little dicks off

[bold kernel]

id say maybe run a gun in an fps

just maybe

[solid agate]

it shoulve been a quick in and out

cuz nobody camps the gahdamn river

[somber rain]

so i just ran factory with a pm, and 4 scavs spawned right next to me and shit on me

was i tagged and cursed, despite having a gun?

[solid agate]

i think thats just bad luck

[bold kernel]

did you have armor, rig or bag on?

[somber rain]

no

[bold kernel]

yeah youre tagged

[somber rain]

ah

fuck this game

[bold kernel]

to not be tagged you need a weapon and a piece of gear

[somber rain]

hm

[solid agate]

so goshan toolbox is best bet?

i was thining reserve technical crates

since theres like 10

[bold kernel]

reserve tech crates will also do it for you

as long as you can handle the pvp

[honest shore]

You are also tagged with no gun. So scavs will see you through walls pretty much

[bold kernel]

actually reserve tech crates are probably the best

[solid agate]

true

so lcose to mech 4

13k advanced buffer tube

[bold kernel]

i just want m61 from pk

but im too lazy to do his tasks

[solid agate]

which one gives

[bold kernel]

so ill buy the overpriced stuff on the flea

[unique plover]

You mean you don’t want to play shoreline for weeks on end?

[bold kernel]

wet job pt 6

[bold kernel]

i already did for his beginner tasks welp

i cant anymore

all ive felt like running recently is customs and inter

[unique plover]

I hate shoreline with a passion

Interchange4lyfe

[merry dust]

Labs only

[solid agate]

doesnt scavving give ur main exp too

[unique plover]

No

[bold kernel]

what are you talking about? you dont like getting sniped by someone in a bush?

[bold kernel]

nope

[unique plover]

I like woods, at least there is variable terrain, little to no choke points, and lots of cover

Shoreline is just wide open fields lol

[bold kernel]

honestly, i get sniped more on shoreline than woods

[unique plover]

Yeah by people watching you try to cross at gas station lol

[bold kernel]

imagine clearing out resort and looting like 400k worth of shit only to die on the way to RTC by some rat in a bush

not for me

[bold kernel]

oh yeah

lets not forget dick rock over tunnel

[honest shore]

Scav has separate skill xp though so you can level up things on them.

[solid agate]

k

my scav endurance is same as my pmc endurance lmao

[honest shore]

Coincidence. Or maybe you play them equally so it balances out.

[solid agate]

does hideout increase ep

exp

[tough oyster]

i just liquidated everything besides vests, armors, helmets, headphones, guns, ammo, and mods

went from 0 to 5 mil

[honest shore]

Stonks

[sudden nimbus]

anyone give me some money

[tough oyster]

hows this for 250k?

[honest shore]

No. This chat isn't for handouts.

And you have a really good kit. Earn money

[potent crater]

not bad at all

some people might complain about ergo tho

[lean igloo]

I need help with literally everything LMAO, I started like a week ago. xdd

[red sinew]

Can someone help me with the beginner quest?

[honest shore]

If you have a question ask, if you want physical help go to #pvp-lfg

[honest shore]

Specific questions can be answered here. Otherwise #sherpa-info can get you a dedicated guide.

[red sinew]

👍

[honest shore]

60 ergo is the common standard. On M4 vertical recoil is my biggest worry.

[honest shore]

GL

[potent crater]

no mag is in tho

[potent crater]

no sight scaresd me a bit

[honest shore]

Likewise

Why even have a MK12 with no sight?

[tough oyster]

wym no sight

just add any optic u want

[honest shore]

Well you asked us to rate it, not to use it. We meant that if you were to use that you would have no sight.

And why do people not like the GSSH headset? It sounds so good!

Maybe its the game but comtac, tacsport, etc only amplify my own sound and other sounds aren't loud or audible. Gssh amplifies everything.

[static ice]

hey i just got back into tarkov and wanna make some cash can anyone help me get back into the groove? NAW

[honest shore]

#pvp-lfg

[warm mist]

Where can i find an mp5SD suppressor? trying to do it for the gunsmith part 3 and no one is selling it on the flea market

[dusky wyvern]

Gssh amplifies everything, that’s the problem. Your footsteps are so loud and everything sounds like it’s happening next to you

[opaque swift]

got level 15, sold stuff and went from 100k to 1 million then somehow made some very dumb financial decisions immediately and went to 150k

profit

[neat mist]

yeah dont think its sellable on the flea

from what ive seen all you can do is just wait for pk2 or loot it off someone

[warm mist]

rip

Well thanks for your help!!

[neat mist]

im stuck on it too

[warm mist]

yeah im trying to level PK im at 3k out of 11k

i just wanted to see if anyone knew another way to get the Suppressor

[honest shore]

But other headsets amplify only my footsteps for me. GSSH is the same, but I can hear everything else as well.

I just got a yellow labs card. How good is that in labs?

[neat mist]

yeah its such a pain spending on him

especially since a lot are barters

[warm mist]

yeah you know any quick ways to lvl PK?

or things that will make his money go up

[somber rain]

One thing I did is I bought a bunch of CAT hemostats from him and then sold to therapist

You get about 2/3 of the money back

I also just sold all my stuff I found to him

[warm mist]

okie dokie Thanks for your help!!

[neat mist]

thats 300k roubles to lose

damm

is it worth it

[somber rain]

If you don't want to do that you can also just sell the stuff you find to him

[somber rain]

I was halfway to get him when I did that, so I didn't lose as much

But, it works

[neat mist]

also im assuming barter trades dont count for $$ spent?

[somber rain]

No

[neat mist]

I feel like most of his good stuff is barters lol

[somber rain]

Yeah

You could barter and then sell back to him, but

[serene adder]

???

it used to cost like 70k on flea what the fuck happened

[somber rain]

Lmao

[azure pine]

Who’s willing to help a homie complete some tasks?

[honest shore]

Wipe prices. Demand is skyrocketing.

[potent crater]

got a buff and idk other than that

[honest mica]

Just bought the game. Thought I knew what I was getting into. Nope.

[lone ledge]

@honest mica bro same. I spent a week learning customs extracts. Still bad at them though

[inland marlin]

alot of people say that, lol

[hidden violet]

im down to 2.3 mil, and once I reach lvl 42 I get another 6 mil or so to revive my bank account, what guns should I use until then so I don't go completely broke? i basically need an entire level

[inland marlin]

ppsh, sks, aks, smgs

[hidden violet]

hm alr

thanks

[hidden violet]

what would you run personally if you were down bad

[inland marlin]

i use all weapons. so idk

probably sks or ppsh i guess

[honest mica]

Uhm haha anyone feel like showing someone new at tarkov the ropes?

Big ask but hey...could be fun

[spice gate]

On reserve do you have to turn on power to extract at D2?

[inland marlin]

yes, the power underground not the one that starts the loud alarm

[spice gate]

Also, is there a chance raiders can spawn when you turn on the power?

[inland marlin]

yes but it doesnt seem to be working

[spice gate]

Ok, thank you so much

[inland marlin]

np

[spice gate]

One gun that i really like to use is the MP-153. If you add the plastic stock, and the Target Ring scope on it its pretty easy recoil and good scope. I run that with buckshot and it packs a pretty good punch for really cheap depending on the market

[hidden violet]

I would run that but I rarely get into semi close range fights tbh

if I see someone at range it would be a pain to not be able to take shots at them

and fuck slugs

[spice gate]

Good point, I just use that to rat run

otherwise I use SKS builds

[hidden violet]

lol you can mod the sks lol?

ive only ever used it stock

[spice gate]

Yeah its really good modded

[hidden violet]

im just too poor to run bp, and idk if its even worth modding if im only gonna use ps

[spice gate]

yeah, usually I have a ton of bp ammo just lying around

[vapid beacon]

Is it viable to run shotgun against armored chad?

[spice gate]

yes I have killed many chads with buckshot

the MP-153 is a semi automatic so you can spray it really fast

[vapid beacon]

I got this fully modded Saiga 12g with 20 round mag loaded with 8.5 magnum

[spice gate]

not sure about the ammo but shotguns are usually decent in my opinion

depending on the gun and build, but mostly ammo

[vapid beacon]

What buckshot? I usually run 8.5mm magnum buckshot, is that the best one?

[plush quest]

magnum buck is the best buckshot for saiga yeah

just aim for their legs

[spice gate]

spray and pray

[hidden violet]

DUDELMAO

I just 1 tapped a chad in the face with an sks

but died to his teammate i couldnt see

[honest shore]

What is y'alls opinion on .366? Earlier I had someone tell me it was worthless, but the FMJ is so easy to get and it shreds. Just killed reshala and gang for the first time with a VPO209 and AP-M/FMJ ammo

[hidden violet]

worthless

cuz its not fullauto basically

[honest mica]

Is it pointless to play this game slow?

[hidden violet]

obv any gun with work with pve

[honest shore]

But it 1-2 shots

[hidden violet]

no

[hidden violet]

against pve it is

pvp is a different story

[honest mica]

Man I just keep dying haha

This game..

[honest shore]

Against PVP too. Unless they have level 6.

Level 5 has a chance of eating a bullet or 2

[hidden violet]

unless you get a face tap off its pretty hard to beat a full auto smg close range when you have a semi weapon

[honest shore]

I agree, but for so cheap? I haven't been able to get any good weapons since I'm pre-flea. And this thing shreds compared to the other things I can get

[clever granite]

can some one help me learn tarkov

[hidden violet]

if you're pre flea then just run sks

getting lvl 15 doesnt take long

then you can run whatever you want

[hidden violet]

#sherpa-info

watch youtube vids

[bold kernel]

guys does anyone know if an ACOG can be mounted on an ak 103 ?

[spring basalt]

Probably

U jus gotta get a rail for the top of ur gun

Anyone got tips for running labs ?

[lunar herald]

So the wipe is pretty much confirmed for 12th Dec?

[cerulean copper]

They posted “you know when it’s coming”
So I guess so lmao

[bold kernel]

can anyone help me with my settings for tarkov

been getting a lot of stutters

Here are my specs
i5-9th gen
GTX 1660ti 6GB
16GB ram

[cerulean copper]

What kind of stutters?
I ran it fine on my 1070, i7-9

[bold kernel]

fps drops

[cerulean copper]

On mostly med
Got much else running in the background?

[bold kernel]

usually it goes straigh down 40 30 fps

[bold kernel]

other than discord none

i also closed the bsg launcher

oh wait

this is on sounds gimme a sec

[cerulean copper]

Weird, gpu drivers updated and all that?
Yeah thats real weird. You should be getting locked 60 or pushing 80+

[bold kernel]

these are currently my settings that i was recommended

[bold kernel]

yup

im currently on version 497.09

for nvidia

every map other than factory has the issue

[hidden violet]

its cuz of how high your settings are for your specs

you're on high graphics

[bold kernel]

oh

so should i turn everything on low?

[hidden violet]

render distance can make somewhat of a difference, and your sharpening

[hidden violet]

just to the point where the graphics are tolerable and you dont get stutters

[bold kernel]

okok

[hidden violet]

also restart your game every 3 or 4 raids or so

[bold kernel]

ill try changing my texture quality to medium

and sharpness to 0.8

[golden nova]

Anybody else just starting off and would be up for grouping? I'm EU (literally reinstalled the game yesterday after a year off), BEAR

[bold kernel]

recommend #pvp-lfg

also long live BEAR

[somber summit]

If youre using a vudu and a red dot on top of it, what did you set your keybinds to, to swap from vudu to red dot?

[bold kernel]

i have mine as one of my side mouse buttons, same for changing scope magnification

[somber summit]

Eh those are occupied by fix malfunction and change scope magni xD

[quaint quarry]

I have default lol

Then again, I generally don't use vudu + a red dot

[graceful idol]

So i've just bought the game how do i install it, its says wait for Escape from Tarkov to send you an invitation, will they just send it to me in an g-mail?

[lunar herald]

You need to download the battlestate games launcher

should be somewhere on the website

[primal breach]

Welcome to hell

[fading ferry]

This scav on scav violence is some bullshit.

[lunar herald]

So I've just been wallbanged by Killa through a metal container in the underground, wtf?

Need to get me some of that ammo

[smoky spoke]

not to be annoying or anything, but can anyone hook me up with a docs case, kinda getting tired of only being able to bring like 2 keys with me at a time

[vapid beacon]

Can you exchange Euro to Dollar?

The only method I know is to buy some stuff with EURO from Mechanic and sell it to Peacekeeper I bought 100 MP5 bolt with EURO and sell it to Peace Keeper 😂

[unique steeple]

Why do u wanna

[unique steeple]

Omg lol

[vapid beacon]

Most of the time, I use Rouble and USD as I play a lot of .45 Vector and MP7

[unique steeple]

It’s end of wipe so I think you’ll be fine

Otherwise there’s not rly a reason to exchange between dollar and euro since u need both for quests

[vapid beacon]

There should be a button for exchanging on the fly when you're buying stuff from PK

[unique steeple]

Wym

[quick dirge]

So

Whoever said there's a way to catch bullet when unloading

You need gun mastery

[unique steeple]

Yea gun mastery 3

[graceful idol]

I am very new to Escape and if anybody had the time and will to teach me to ropes i would be a happ guy

[bold kernel]

i recommend #sherpa-info

[wary valley]

liar

u need to be the chosen one

[quick dirge]

Damn. I'm like 1/4 to gun Mastery 2 with my most used gun family rip

[unique steeple]

Yea gun mastery is very long to lvl up

[pastel trail]

is ultra med still a good key? I haven't played in a while

[plush quest]

yeah

[hidden violet]

not as good as before diverse loot

[pastel trail]

what does it normally go for on the flea?

[steep crane]

how much do i sell it for?

[zinc canopy]

thought you couldnt sell it on fllea

[steep crane]

it's fouind in raid

[hidden violet]

500k when I sold mine about a week ago

[steep crane]

[zinc canopy]

i thought it was like bitcoin that you still couldnt sell it if it was fir

[steep crane]

yh

[cosmic mantle]

how much do i sell this for

found it in marked room lmfao

[zinc canopy]

35 mil

[cosmic mantle]

[cosmic mantle]

tarkov market says its worth 800k lmfao good thing i asked here

so how much do i list it for

35mil?

[steep crane]

how much do you have rn

[unique steeple]

[cosmic mantle]

this is some bullshit

;-;

[zinc canopy]

how much is the 35 mil fee?

[steep crane]

maybe trade for ticcc items case

[cosmic mantle]

18 and a half mil

[zinc canopy]

strange last person that i talked to had the fee at 2 mil for that much

[pastel trail]

what about selling for closer to 20 mil? see what the fee is for that

[cosmic mantle]

should i just do a barter for two thicc cases or smth

since its 35m

or just one

idk

[zinc canopy]

you could to thicc and some roubles

[cosmic mantle]

i still dont think i can afford the fee lol

i only have two mil

might sell my whole stash to sell this lol

is this good

[steep crane]

not bad

[cosmic mantle]

should i ask for more roubles

[steep crane]

yh

just aski until fee is all of your money

[wary valley]

honestly

idk if people gonna buy it

[cosmic mantle]

lmao

do i get the fee back if no one buys

[pure mist]

no

[steep crane]

nop

[pure mist]

lol

[cosmic mantle]

oooooof

[zinc canopy]

no but i would say people might buy it cause its nearing end of wipe so they dont need a thicc case anymore cause they are using all their gear instead of hoarding it

[cosmic mantle]

i mean i dont need a thicc case

maybe i just try labs lol

dunno if i'll even get to sell this

its near end of wipe anyways so idrm

can anyone call and guide me through labs so i can actually extract lol

anyone think this would sell

its a thicc weapons case

and a thicc items case

[steep crane]

i would just keep

find someone to go labs with you

[cosmic mantle]

yeah but i cant fkin use it cause idk labs and i suck

[steep crane]

and hope it goes free this wipe

[quaint onyx]

do a trade for stuff you want to use still at the end or test out

who needs thicc cases at end of wipe

[cosmic mantle]

im tryin to figure out what i should ask for for it

dont think i really need thicc cases so i have no fkin clue whats worth it lol

welp im broke now

[quaint onyx]

are they selling?

[cosmic mantle]

yeah

some are

mine hasnt

gonna do a scav run cause i have 60k now lol

[celest sage]

[potent crater]

[teal trail]

That’s like 20M it won’t even matter wipes soon anyways

[hybrid ruin]

7.62x39mm

[potent crater]

do you have flea?

[hybrid ruin]

no

[potent crater]

ok

[teal patrol]

[faint bay]

what key opens the black suv at usec camp on woods?

[narrow gull]

no key like that

[signal plank]

Are scavs literal nightmares on night maps or are they as blind as I am

[modern swallow]

their aggro range is reduced a bit

[signal plank]

I gotta get that bronze pocket watch for prapor and it’s literal hell during the day with all the PMCs & Scavs. Debating doing it at night but night AI sounds scary

[bold kernel]

scavs can be cracked, or they can be dumb as rocks, depends

[vapid beacon]

Rate this scav loot

[zinc canopy]

0/10 empty slots

[rose elbow]

just got gpu out of yellow

[vapid beacon]

@zinc canopy Can't loot anymore his friend tried to kill me. I shot him with the HK and he died from bleeding out sometimes later

[unique steeple]

gahdamn

[foggy epoch]

i need some one to teach me the way of the dome sniper

i am in beginner assistance

[rapid spoke]

grab a sniper, go to dome, shoot people

[foggy epoch]

not that easy

i get killed evry time

[rapid spoke]

on the way there, or on top of it?

[foggy epoch]

both

[rapid spoke]

hmm, guess it depends a lot on where you start, and if people have the same idea as you.

if youre just lying somewhere on dome its really hard to see you unless people are packing atleast a vudu i think, last time i was there no one else came there and i was free to just take my time and shoot as many scavs and people as i could see

maybe pack a sidearm for your road towards dome or meeting another snooplet if youre not good at snapshotting people

[unkempt pelican]

market items are linked to server? want to get Compact Mount adapter for sights for gunsmith part 8, but no one sells it, and only Skier tier 2 has it, but i don't have tier 2 with him yet :D

[teal patrol]

no one is gonna list it on flea

[clever granite]

anyone wanna play

[primal breach]

i found 3 lapua magnum ap in a weapon box or whatever it is. is it good

i've heard about it

[teal patrol]

[narrow gull]

pretty expensive on the flea

[primal breach]

how much

[narrow gull]

90k per

[primal breach]

damnn

[unique steeple]

Put it in a Glock 18

[merry dust]

ez.

1250 rpm full auto ap .338 lapua

[bold kernel]

do scavs have your stats?

[merry dust]

no

they have their own

[bold kernel]

are they random?

[merry dust]

no

theyre the actual stats

of YOUR scav

[bold kernel]

what dose that mean

[teal patrol]

wdym

same as pmc

just for scav

[merry dust]

u word it muc ebtter

[narrow gull]

no, scavs have their own skills and pmc theirs

so for example your pmc can have endurance up to lvl 15 but your scav only lvl 5 because you didn't run him too much

[teal patrol]

i try and use minimum words

[bold kernel]

Cant find it

Been here 3 years though so ive probably got quite a bit

[merry dust]

ill check

[merry dust]

ahem

6472

i have 11x you

[hollow minnow]

Hm

[whole crest]

my worst enemy casme in

[honest shore]

I checked too. You have at least 2 messages

[merry dust]

sthur

[whole crest]

my dad 😦

[hollow minnow]

You must talk alot

[merry dust]

yep

im pretty active

[hollow minnow]

I come and go

[honest shore]

What

I said nothing.

[hollow minnow]

Actions speak louder than words

[merry dust]

most of my actions is helping beginners ngl

[honest shore]

Then I shall sit here and do nothing

[merry dust]

imm see how many i have in both chats combined

[hollow minnow]

Im either in beginners/eft or irl

[merry dust]

22810 in beginner assistance

[hollow minnow]

I dont go anywhere else

[honest shore]

You're in here quite often and give pretty good answers. Some people come here to get angry at noobs lol

[merry dust]

33184 in beginners chat

[honest shore]

And still only 10 cult members

[merry dust]

sigh

itll grow okay?

[honest shore]

Gotta work on that recruitment speech

[merry dust]

i try da best

mods never check here

and when they do its cause of an argument im in

so its a one sided story i cant fight

[honest shore]

No it's not!

[merry dust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bold kernel]

[honest shore]

(are mods coming?)

[merry dust]

prob not

[honest shore]

But I argued with you

[narrow gull]

mods check decently frequently just stay silent

[merry dust]

then where my fucking operator at

[river rampart]

about what

[merry dust]

my boy kwon has it

[merry dust]

u there

[narrow gull]

i hear they kinda abandoned the entire operator thing

[merry dust]

really?

[river rampart]

no?

[narrow gull]

idk, just what i hear

[merry dust]

get outta here

u didnt give me operator

[narrow gull]

also it's not a measure of helpfulness afaik

[river rampart]

I've only given one out

[merry dust]

to who tho

[honest shore]

Scary cult leader operator scary :'(.

[zinc canopy]

I mean to be fair most of your messages take 4 of them to finish one sentence

[river rampart]

He doesn't even post anymore 😦

[bold kernel]

[merry dust]

thats if im doin a lil trolling

[bold kernel]

true

[merry dust]

bleach knows me

actually almost every person in these chats know me

so much to the point i have started a cult

[teal patrol]

who are you

[bold kernel]

true

[teal patrol]

ive never seen u here

[merry dust]

good question

[honest shore]

Then if you give atrum operator he won't post?

[merry dust]

[merry dust]

i think he gave it to my boy sw_tower

he was retired sherpa tho

so he prob just got it given

[honest shore]

Ah

[merry dust]

@whole crest you done yet?

[bold kernel]

they dad got them

[honest shore]

Can I, a noob who is bad, become Sherpa and ruin some poor noobs learning?

[bold kernel]

[merry dust]

ah right

[merry dust]

that was my goal

im first wipe level 47

[honest shore]

I'm first wipe level 9

[merry dust]

chad

[narrow gull]

nah, you have to do some trial period basically

[merry dust]

i remember some sherpa was in on my like runs

[honest shore]

Chad level 9 Sherpa that screws over noobs

[merry dust]

i did pretty good

killed 5 pmcs and taught a lot

but i havent seen the guy since

[narrow gull]

nah, i mean you apply and get trial shorpa

[bold kernel]

which one

[merry dust]

i dont remember

he had a heavy accent tho

russianish?

[narrow gull]

and then you have to basically do some raids under and instructor's supervision

[bold kernel]

[honest shore]

You must kill everyone in labs

[merry dust]

i applied didnt get in sadly

[honest shore]

Obv

[narrow gull]

also recruiters consider your chat history(mainly) to determine if you're the material

[merry dust]

but i know @inland marlin

my boy grim did

[merry dust]

they took jet in

and jet is the goofiest mf i know lol

great guy

[narrow gull]

nah, basically you do a normal ticket

jet does help out if rarely

[merry dust]

he retired

[narrow gull]

already

[merry dust]

sadly

[river rampart]

Jet is not gone

Lots of false info here

[honest shore]

My normal ticket is dying. I can become Sherpa!

[merry dust]

not gone

but i dont think hes sherpa

[river rampart]

[honest shore]

Am I mad, or did I hear the word think escape your lips?

[merry dust]

oops

[narrow gull]

i know he was at least as far as january

[merry dust]

same w me

i helped that guy sherpa on the weekends sometimes

he most likely dont remember me as the name change

[whole crest]

im done

[merry dust]

@bold kernel

[bold kernel]

yes sire

[merry dust]

u comin

we going customs

[bold kernel]

fuck

[civic scaffold]

i have 200k and a meta m4 in my stash what do i do?

[honest shore]

Well if you have a good kit to go with that M4 you can play it, but if you don't I would get the rest of the kit before you do.

[strong pewter]

spent my only 2.5 mill on stash upgrade

now im left with nothing

[honest shore]

That's how it goes

[cunning nymph]

anyone tryna help me im new to the game and know little to nothing

[honest shore]

#sherpa-info

If you have a question this is the perfect place to come, but if you want a guide ^

[bold kernel]

anyone wanna teach me the game? i just got it : D

[honest shore]

#sherpa-info

[signal plank]

Yo woods is kinda poo

[prime sapphire]

Woods is a ton of fun. Not the best for loot though.

[signal plank]

I walked <1km at the building I spawned looking at and died instantly to out of bounds snipers

[prime sapphire]

Really good PVP.

[narrow gull]

literally the exact opposite experience
great loot, no pvp

[prime sapphire]

Ah yeah. Its punishing for beggininers with poorly marked boundaries.

[signal plank]

Super fun map. Love looking directly at a structure that’s apparently illegal with no explaination

[remote onyx]

mosins are poo too

like when i got the jump on this guy and went on to miss 4 shots point blank on him with a mosin

[prime sapphire]

We probably run it different. I am a 6th wipe woods main. I really only hunt players now and dont really loot.

On old woods my squad used to reliably server wipe. We still get at least 3-4 chads a raid though on new woods.

Sometimes its slow but not often.

[narrow gull]

i honestly don't see the point in hunting people on woods either, it's usually just 6b3 mosin bois

[remote onyx]

im slowly going insane the more i die to extract campers

[prime sapphire]

I pull slicks and Reap Ir's out pretty often

Its to the pont now where I I don't run without an SJ9 in my butt.

[signal plank]

I want to use the M700 I found but it’s pretty to look at and I’d miss it too much if I died with it

[prime sapphire]

Regularly get Cracked M1a builds, and Lapua mag's also.

[signal plank]

This is beginner Chat bro idk what half those words even mean

[faint lodge]

Hey can someone play with me? Im new and I need some help understanding mechanics and such

[prime sapphire]

You have to farm PMC's around sawmill and food camp though. Any other spot is low gear rats.

[faint lodge]

I looked at the sherpa already

And Im not really sure what to do

[prime sapphire]

You are running scavs off cooldown year?

Yeah*

[faint lodge]

what

[prime sapphire]

You should play scav as much as possible

[signal plank]

Are scavs gonna be way more violent after the wipe

Because that makes me sad

[prime sapphire]

Should be the opposite @signal plank

[honest shore]

Join that sherpa discord and get a sherpa to guide you.

[faint lodge]

ok

[signal plank]

Scavs are supposed to be the vibing with the homies runs

Good

[remote onyx]

and the more duo runners on fucking factory

[faint lodge]

How

[remote onyx]

just make factory solo only how is it possible to allow duos on it

[honest shore]

In #sherpa-info

[prime sapphire]

You know you can have more than that right? its not too unbalanced though.

[remote onyx]

yes it is what the fuck

its insanely unbalanced in the small corridors

what is someone supposed to do unless the duo is dogshit or really bad at coordinating

[faint lodge]

this is so complicated

so what do it go to

[prime sapphire]

Its actually more balanced to the solo/duo who are fighting multiple.

Not many flank routes and it funnels squads.

[honest shore]

If you can't navigate discord, just click #pvp-lfg and you can ask for help there easier. But they aren't dedicated guides

[faint lodge]

I can but the request stuff is confusing

[remote onyx]

dog i just got a nade thrown into office window, i run out and kill one then i got shot in the back by the other one

i literally cant do anything in that situation

[signal plank]

Have you tried being better

[prime sapphire]

You cant blame one bad encounter on a map. Shit happens its tarkov bro. you could have all the advantages and still get merced by dumb stuff.

[honest shore]

Just go into the discord, get the sherpaling role, and go to a looking for help VC. Hopefully a sherpa will come in and help you.

[remote onyx]

im blaming it on them allowing duos on factory for some reason

its insane

[faint lodge]

ok

[honest shore]

I've never used a sherpa though so can't say for certain

[prime sapphire]

You can have 4 people on factory.

[remote onyx]

you can have 5

[prime sapphire]

Its easier to kill them as the solo though I am telling you.

[remote onyx]

by that point they start tking though

[honest shore]

5 people on factory vs 1 poor noob 😢

[prime sapphire]

Yeah it funnels the squads the more you have the harder it is to navagate the fight on factory.

As a solo you can control the fight more effectively with proper planning.

[remote onyx]

oh yeah ill just build a wall on one side of office hallway and then ill magically avoid death to the nade

[prime sapphire]

Or dont get caught with your pants down in office?

Easiest place to die in on the map.

Office is a death sentance.

[remote onyx]

or forklift

[slim dove]

@honest shore still not getting smooth gameplay in woods 😭 even with the powersaving off

[honest shore]

Is it lasting all game still?

[slim dove]

yep

[honest shore]

Are you laptop?

[slim dove]

nope

[honest shore]

Do you have any master modes for performance?

When you run tarkov, look at task manager. Is anything hitting above 80%?

[slim dove]

what do u mean exactly

ok

will see

[honest shore]

Some computers can run quietly, and use less power. So if you have that master mode on it will make your PC run worse on games. Some PCs have a gaming or high performance mode, this does the opposite.

[slim dove]

where would i need to change that mode?

[honest shore]

Depends on your PC. If you don't know about it you probably don't have it.

[slim dove]

could it be located in the bios?

[honest shore]

No

Its software that's changeable pretty easily usually.

If you have the game set to high performance it should ignore the master mode anyways though

I would just try to see your hardware usage

[slim dove]

cpu usage top was 40% on my naked run through woods

lol

ram around 60%

and gpu 60 also i think

[honest shore]

Do you have Vsync or Nvidia reflex or anything like that on?

[slim dove]

nope

disabled all

of that

[honest shore]

Try it with both on.

[slim dove]

thou i capped it at 65, lets see uncapping it to more

[honest shore]

Well try it with one on, then the other on.

You can't have both on.

[slim dove]

ok

[bold kernel]

hi i was wondering if anyone could help me get better at this game i feel like i lose 90% of my fights i have a 30% survival rate and im not sure what im doing wrong im also looking for a team mate cause this solo thing isn't working for me

[slim dove]

let see

[honest shore]

Vsync's whole purpose is to reduce stutters and help.

[slim dove]

where u from

[slim dove]

i had it on before, just disabled it like an hour ago

[bold kernel]

Us west

[honest shore]

#pvp-lfg or #sherpa-info if you want a guide. Questions here

[slim dove]

f

[honest shore]

Ah. Try turning anisotropic filtering off, and everything above that until and including anti-aliasing. Then if it fixes its one of those things. Anisotropic filtering does do some weird things so that's my best guess.

And then everything in the boxes at the bottom of the menu too.

If it still isn't fixed, lower everything to minimum graphics and try there to single out the issue. If it still isn't working, then #community-support or directly to tarkov support. I can't think of anything else.

[hollow thorn]

I keep getting super late spawns as scavs, is there a reason?

[narrow gull]

from what i've seen(and this is speculation) the game will attempt to spawn you in the raid with the least time left on a scav

so if you select less servers there's less possible super late raids that the game can spawn you in and will spawn you earlier

[slim dove]

what does HBAO exactly do?

[honest shore]

I don't know. But it hits my performance quite a bit

[slim dove]

and SSR?

[honest shore]

They are all just ways of making things look better, if you want to know the specifics look it up

But you can turn them all off safely, that's why its an option. These features can be intensive compared to other things that aren't options, but GPUs do as well.

[silent oxide]

guys im trying really really hard to like tarkov but my hits dont register. like most of them. and i know its not an internet or hardware issue. anyone else have issues with hit register and desync? but like constantly? ill unload entire clips in to ppl at point blank doing no dmg then they turn around and 1 tap me

[slim dove]

i think i might have solved it, it looks like it finally runs smooth, tho i'm not sure which of these 2 things solved it cuz i changed them at the same time, turning anisotropic off and upgrading my drivers, which maybe were 3months off, i dont know how im still alive being this dumb, how could i not think of the fucking drivers

@honest shore

[inland marlin]

theyre probably just blocking it with armor. do you see in the stats at the end, armor damage numbers?

in this game to kill people you want to perform headshots.

[silent oxide]

nah its not armor. thats what i thought at first. its striaght desync

[inland marlin]

so theres no armor damage done at the end of raid?

[honest shore]

I actually mentioned that first thing when you had this problem and you said they were up to date lol. Try anistropic and if that it comes back you can always turn it back off and conclude your drivers weren't the issue.

[silent oxide]

like im standing in front of them, staring, they clearly are not in sync with my server cuz they staring and not shooting. I unload and do nothing

[inland marlin]

huh

[crude dagger]

can someone pls help me im broke and need help on some run

[slim dove]

had times were an enemy was standing still , shot them 2 times in the fucking head and nothing happened, then they killed me, sadge pepe

[silent oxide]

but its constant, i thought at first that i sucked or it was only sometimes. but its fucing always. im on an i5 and an amd 6600xt and a good ssd and mobo and my pc crushes the game, in terms of performace. but cant hit shit

[slim dove]

dont remember that lol but thx anyways, will see if its the anisotropic or the drivers, whatever it is thx again for helping bro

[inland marlin]

maybe your internet is bad. i havent personally seen the servers lag like that since the beginning of the wipe

i had a similar issue though more often when i myself was having bad connection issues irl

[honest shore]

Absolutely, glad you didn't have to go to support after all

[silent oxide]

thought so too, switched to only localish servers. all with 25-35 ping. im hard wired into router too

[inland marlin]

but its hard to tell if its you, or the server, but since i havent gotten it, maybe its on your side. hard to say

[slim dove]

maybe i read something different and answered that

[honest shore]

#pvp-lfg

[honest shore]

Maybe it was someone else too

[narrow gull]

your connection could still be jumpy even if ping at some point in time is 25ms

[slim dove]

@honest shore where u from?

[honest shore]

NA W

[calm yacht]

anyone know why i don't have a local.ini thing

i just downloaded the game

[silent oxide]

guys these are clearly server side issues with desynce im wondering if anyone knows of a fix tho? its not my internet...or my pc...

[calm yacht]

and its not there

[slim dove]

spain, tomorrow will see if its drivers or the other thing, have to go to sleep bb

[inland marlin]

probably need to launch the game first so it can write it

[honest shore]

Gn

[narrow gull]

server side by definition has no fix that you can apply

[calm yacht]

already have multiple times even changed settings and stuff

[narrow gull]

only bsg can fix those

[inland marlin]

but if it was server side it would be more than just you, lol. and if that was the case, thered be plenty of complaining

[calm yacht]

it hasn't even made a document folder

[silent oxide]

there is plenty of complaining, theres plenty of ppl talking about it online, but no actual solutions

[honest shore]

Desync is an inherent issue with any online game. It can only be mitigated by good internet, good servers, and clean game physics. After that there needs to be innovation for 0 ping from all parties for no desync. And better servers to keep it completely consistent.

Otherwise desync is in it for the long haul

[inland marlin]

well... theres people complaining about it. back when it was bad. problems like this are on and off. but the point is, its not happening for alot of people now. just you and maybe some select others

[honest shore]

Desync happens for everyone, its just the severity of it.

[inland marlin]

obviously

his is quite severe

[honest shore]

Obviously

[inland marlin]

which is rare

[silent oxide]

welp done with tarkov

[honest shore]

You can try different servers maybe, but other than that nothing you can do.

[calm yacht]

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Battlestate Games\Escape from Tarkov\Settings
is this a new thing to replace local.ini?

Its just like local.ini

[inland marlin]

nope i have a local.ini

[calm yacht]

hmm im really unsure then

I even tried deleting and reinstalling

I just wanna fix my tarkov's fps problems so I can play :(

[honest shore]

Specs?

[calm yacht]

rtx 2060 ryzen 6 2600x

and i get around 40fps on like all lowest settings

[honest shore]

Do you have all the boxes at the bottom off and anistropic filtering and the like off?

Or low?

For me those give bigger hits

[calm yacht]

yeah literally everything

I used to run really well too

only recently has it gone shitty

but for some reason new tarkov downloads don't use local.ini

but a different thing in %appdata% instead

[honest shore]

Your game is set to high performance?

[calm yacht]

in what like task manger?

[honest shore]

Make sure your drivers are up to date and that tarkov is running on high performance, that's all I can say

[honest shore]

I don't know how to do it on Windows 11 anymore

[calm yacht]

drivers are all up to date yeah

and im on w10

not 11

[honest shore]

Are you Nvidia?

[calm yacht]

yeah

[honest shore]

Go to Nvidia control panel

[calm yacht]

alright

[honest shore]

Then 3D settings and program settings.

[calm yacht]

then add tarkov ig

[honest shore]

Yeah add tarkov and make sure its on the right GPU if you have multiple

[calm yacht]

only have 1 should be fine

[honest shore]

Then it will use that one yeah

I have an integrated GPU in the CPU, so if a game uses that one it is trash

[calm yacht]

yeah mines doesn't im all good

so how do I do high performance

[honest shore]

That's it, is making sure your Nvidia settings are set to high performance in there

Shouldn't change too much if you only have 1 GPU

[calm yacht]

what card do you have?

[honest shore]

I have a 1660 ti

[calm yacht]

how much fps do you normally get

[honest shore]

60 on woods, 80 customs, haven't tested labs

[calm yacht]

whats your setting if you don't mind?

[honest shore]

Do you have any software that runs your PC in "quiet mode" or the like?

[calm yacht]

just wanna try yours with the new performance turned on

[honest shore]

1 minute

[calm yacht]

and nope don't think so

my power plan is maxed and shit

[honest shore]

When you test it, make sure your CPU and GPU aren't running at 100% or below 20% I'd say. RAM, it depends on how much you have, but if its maxed out that's an issue

[calm yacht]

alright thanks

[honest shore]

GL

If your CPU or GPU are consistently running low, that would make your FPS suffer, and I'd imagine they would run low due to issues with a performance reducer somewhere. Also known as "power savers" or low performance. If they run consistently high, then something is eating up resources from you somehow.

[calm yacht]

ill check when im in raid

[calm yacht]

its around 55% cpu and 50% gpu

and im getting 60fps on costumes

I feel I should prob me getting a little more though

and thats with your settings

[honest shore]

That's better. You happy with that? Your CPU is worse than mine so it might hold you back. Is your RAM getting used up?

[calm yacht]

yep 94% lol

[honest shore]

How much RAM do you have?

[calm yacht]

I have 16gb

[honest shore]

How many applications do you have open?

[calm yacht]

a few discord spotify steam wallpaper engine

[honest shore]

And in the task manager, is anything disposable using up a good amount RAM?

[calm yacht]

ehh kinda yeah

[honest shore]

If you have google chrome open it will EAT RAM for breakfast and keep going. I have 64 Gbs, but when I had 16 Gbs I would run only discord and game open if I could.

[calm yacht]

uhhhh that could be why lol

[honest shore]

Because with 94% RAM utilization your FPS is going to stop going up. Its blocking you there.

[calm yacht]

closed it and jumped to 70fps lmao

[honest shore]

There ya go

[crisp cliff]

fart

[honest shore]

Its just a whole bunch of little things and resource management if you don't have something ridiculous in your computer. My 64 Gbs of RAM means I can have all the googles open, but if I'm using 2 CPU intensive apps my CPU may be overwhelmed. Balance it for your PC and you'll get better FPS. Or go the $$$ route.

[honest shore]

Indeed.

[crisp cliff]

thank you

[honest shore]

Indeed.

[calm yacht]

well I think i can only take 1 of those 2 routes :(

but this is still a huge improvement so thank you

[honest shore]

Spending your life savings on a PC isn't exactly everyone's cup of tea lol. Some people like food and living instead. Glad I could help and GL

[solid agate]

Chrome uses more the more. U give it

I got 32 gb

[elfin perch]

hey I just bought tarkov like 20 minutes ago

[bold kernel]

My GPS and CPU usage is around 25/30%

GPU*

And I am getting 20 FPS on interchange

16GB ram, 1660ti and idk the CPU tbh

[ocean cairn]

Having 100 gpu usage is fine. Just gotta watch the temps.

[elfin perch]

tarkov has a steep learning curve and i don't have friends to teach me whats the best way to learn

[bold kernel]

Ryzen 7 3650 CPU

How do we get more GPU usage becuase 25% isn't cutting it

[narrow gull]

trying going to medium-high textures

[ocean cairn]

It honestly depends on ur setup & what game you are playing with that set up.

[solid agate]

If u got moeny to upgrade go for it

If not then turn down settings for more fps

[solid agate]

Dont game on laptop

Desktop is a whole tier above

[solid agate]

Join beginner vc voicexhats

[ocean cairn]

I have a 1070 ti rn and I get like 80-90 FPS on every map other than factory or labs. Putting everything on low & getting rid of textures help with FPS.

[solid agate]

Pascal is amazing

My 1070 stil holding strong

I have a 3090 FE tho cuz

Why not

[ocean cairn]

For real bro I just wanna upgrade bc it’s the last thing I need to upgrade

[solid agate]

Whats ur budget

[ocean cairn]

I’m either going all in on a razer laptop when this kicks the bucket or I’m gettin ga 2070

[bold kernel]

My laptop is nearly 2k it runs most games perfectly fine

[solid agate]

Most xD

I had a 2k rog laptop too

1070 and i7

[bold kernel]

Tarkov is pretty much the only game not utilizing the GPU

[solid agate]

Tarkov cpu heavy

[ocean cairn]

Why I’m not concerned as much

[bold kernel]

It's using 30% fpu

CPU

[ocean cairn]

CPU and ram is more important rn

That could change in the future though

[bold kernel]

I have 16gb ram and it's only using 12

My temps are 50c

[ocean cairn]

I’m running 32 rn but my speed could be faster than it is

[solid agate]

Ram is more important on ryzen

Because of infinity fabric

[narrow gull]

also true, more precisely the ram speed

[solid agate]

Yes

Cl 16 3600mhz is sweet spot imo

[narrow gull]

you need like in 3000 range

[bold kernel]

So what's up with 30% CPU 20% GPU 12 GB ram bring used out of 16 temps 50 and 16 FPS lol

[solid agate]

3200 if u wanna budget more

[bold kernel]

The system can clearly use more resources but refuses to

[elfin perch]

it won't let me

[solid agate]

Cuz it wants to be able to do other stuff maybe

Try processlasso
