i have been waiting for matching for 14 min lol
lighthouse
It’s worth doing at least 3 maybe 4 uses at each car extract😉 I know onepeg (YouTuber) made a really good deep dive into what you get and the negative/positive effects about it
Woods, customs and interchange
thanks for the help mate
can u buy the dorms marked key on flea market for roubles? when i search the offers are to trade for items
Good question… I’m not sure, but I know they removed some of the high tier items from the flea in general, like lvl 5-6 armor, blacktip bullets armor etc… I know it doesn’t give you the answer you want but there’s a possibility it’s not on the flea because of this
nope u cant
i think you can craft it at some point from reserve keys though, not sure
I think you can, but the fees on them are outrageous with roubles so people doing trades. I could be talking out my ass tho
yeah its just the fees'
maybe when the price comes down if it ever will
@robust hull Correct you CANNOT buy it anymore - you can only trade for one doing the marked key barter
@misty lichen ops
just need to share a win! Was having a rough night... then hopped in a scav run, found no loot...
And stumbled across a level 34 body with a fancy custom gun. For one Tarkov night, I feel rich.
I found both reserve marked keys in the same raid lol
Also between me and my buddy we have 3 dorms marked for customs :3
My buddy pulled out a black and violet inside of a kaycard holder in our second customs marked run. Lucky fuck.
oh nice!
is there a way to know who (pmc or scav) killed you after a match?
most of the time. if it is a SCAV name, there will be a report triangle button near the name if it was controlled by a player.
Name will be Russian and have a first and last name for scav
Got it, thank you
ok i have to say it - WOOT got my first decent item as a scav - picked up a scar off a body....
its only been 3 days...
@pliant gazelle No helmet. Gssh headset. Anti-flash goggles/glasses and mask (allegedly decreases chance of them Insta-headshotting you). For Armor just buy the 6B3TM armored rig. 45K and level 4. Good enough. If you have it unlocked buy TV110 (can use it for carrying away more gear).
For weapon just take a stock MP7A1, put a sight on it, and put a magazine in. Load with FMJ SX.
When you find a good raider weapon just use it instead. Fold your MP7 and put it into your backpack or rig. When you find a better headset or rig; upgrade. Same if you find a helmet.
For weapon another good option is stock VSS with sight and 20rnd mags.
If you haven’t unlocked either weapon just take a 5.45 AK with PP ammo (if you’re that low level). Upgrade the muzzle break, add a recoil buttstock pad, add a cheap grip and a sight, and go.
ok thanks
What's so great about Silencers?
A lot of later quests require PMC kills, and silencers are expensive
just started today looking for someone who can show me the ropes
Being unsuppressed signals to PMC-hunters that you are broke/inexperienced as well as giving them an easy way to track and identify you
Also, suppressors have decent recoil reduction, particularly the ones that also attach to muzzle brakes/compensators of some kind
im going to cry myself to sleep tonight
Those double-dip on recoil reduction, allowing for easily controllable guns
stupid scav karma
Do you recommend I start using one? I wanna get into modding guns
What if the other guy isn't using one lmao
Depends on the gun honestly
A lot of people don't, in a lot of cases the cost of a suppressor rivals the cost of the gun
Pp19
There are some very affordable 9x19 suppressors out there, I think the pp19 is worth suppressing
Suppressors also reduce muzzle flash which makes sustained fire easier
anyone got a link to the latest ammo chart?
Why is pp19 good to suppress? Is it because it's cheap so suppressor can be afforded?
Yeah, and pp19s are easy enough to mod out that it doesn't feel like a poor investment in comparison
Am I completely idiotic to even try to use the Vector .45 with just 13 round mags? I'm thinking back to my engagements, and thinking 99% of the time it was over within the first 10 bullets.
For example, I wouldn't suppress an aks74-u, because even with a suppressor the recoil is hard to manage
And the engagement distance where an aks-74u is effective renders a suppressor largely useless, since theyd still hear you
Ohh so suppressors are only good for long range?
Not necessarily, I like the suppressed kedr as a budget gun because the kedr's muzzle flash makes it hard to use
But the suppressor makes that a non-issue
But suppressors definitely shine at longer ranges
How much recoil would you say is manageable and I should make sure my suppressor can get me to?
If you know what I mean
Depends on the fire rate of the gun honestly
The SCAR and MDR are very easy to use at 60 vertical because their cyclic rate is so low (600/650rpm)
But a 60 vertical M4 is kinda hard to use because the initial kick hits hard at 800rpm
Ok thanks a lot. One more thing, any cheap sniper rifles you recommend I should slap a scope and a suppressor on?
The VPO-215 is cheap, and so is the suppressor
duo just killed me 😢
With AP-M ammo, it's an insanely powerful weapon
VPO-215 is 18k from Jaeger 1, suppressor is 28k from Skier 2
No problem, good luck out there
shiiit soryr
hi everyone
im having an issue with installing the game, is this where i should ask=
Does it say 0mb/s
yup
oke'
hey @vestal crater it just.. stopped. the download
Start it again
map recommendations for farming santa hats etc for mission?
is there a vehicle there? do you have money? if the vehicle is not there, it left
you need 7500 roubles to go with the car
if you has no moneys and there is no car you cant go
its been like 7 minutes and its still on 0mb
Any new players wanna learn together? My last partner kinda killed me and took my stuff LMFAO.
@grizzled jetty I miss you man
hey
anyone has any guide that helps with decent budget sets?
i suck at gun modding
what time are servers down pst
what does having the generator in your hideout do?
what value? you're legit keeping prs ammo lmao
please tell me what to sell and waht to keep for hideout and quests
mclovins - you can look at your hideout upgrades to see whats next hell im only 3 days old and i know that
but some of those items are also for vendor trades i believe
yeah i know but just wanted to know if any of the items i should just sell
protip for all of you stuck on gunsmith 4 because of the 60 round mag restriction, you can use a 100 round mag and increase the ergo to 47 by getting a good pistol grip!!
@keen cedar You won’t learn unless you look it up yourself. Trust me. Look up each item on wiki and see what quest, hideout upgrade, and barter its for. Then think about how easy they are to get or to craft. Decide whether you want to sell or keep.
@keen cedar ^^^
servers going down anyways
should be now for 2 hours or so
thx k3isari
soo server took a shit again
its planned
ohh
nooo not the servers i just got a keycard from my scav run
i better still have it when servers are back up
how long they gonna be down for
servers down
SAME ;-;
servers?
gotcha i see well
nooooooooooooo
literally had to happen right after I extract 
RIP
I tried playing the game and it said it was gonna take 4 hours or sum
Back up?
yeah said it was updating fixes
I didnt see this but at least I know to check everyday now 😅
They tweet it, post it in discord, launcher, Facebook etc… can’t really blame them🤷🏼♀️
ffs it was like a 2 minutes notice
Eh no? Look at the message above
yup^
@hollow crypt you had like 9 hours ish to figure it out
2 hours
Heya! Not sure this is the best place to ask about this but I'll give it a try, I'm now level 18 and i was wondering how people make a lot of money in Tarkov? I have about 2M
Servers are down atm😂🤷🏼♀️
Lmao i mean in general
averaged around 2 mil from level 5-20 and I dump any excess money into hideout
or cases
it really depends if you are looking for money or not
I've been having a really hard time finding Gas analyzer, I'm now crafting my 2nd one and after 3rd one for therapist
wdym 1 mil? For the trust regained thing?
Yeah his task
don’t bother with that lol
it doesn’t give you xp and you’ll regain his rep naturally from doing tasks
basically it’s a waste of a mil
If i don't complete it he's not going to give me other task though right?
really? i don’t remember it being like that
i dont think that quest leads to others
That 1m is why you give him chemical 4 lmao
What about the 6000usd?
He'll still give you quests but you'll be 0.25 rep behind
i hit 6 rep btw
You need to give him that to get peacekeeper quests
Beautiful
Yeah
0.25 is insignificant tbh
you’ll make that rep back just doing tasks you don’t need to dump a mil
if you have eod
what’s up
Is it better to only pick Scav if its your first time playing? I dont want to lose all my items
I didn't know about the scav karma system.... And i also killed Santa by accident... My fence is currently at -1.50 what should i do about it
Learn maps offline and on your scavs, don't be a scav main tho
If you only pick scav you won’t level up your pmc since scav and pmc have different leveling systems
basically you won’t progress
You don't get any XP for your scav and can't complete most quests
not much you can do except just grind karma
you get xp for your scav but not your pmc
So just spend and sell him stuff basically?
doesn't do anything tho
car extracts and dual pmc/scav extracts give 0.25 each on first try and diminish the more you use it
Money spent doesn't give you rep
adds to the requirement to level up your rep tho
He's taking about scav rep
responding to your money spent
basically run every map and use the car extracts there and try to extract at dual extracts like scav lands on interchange or like factory gate on woods
if you do everything you should be at positive karma at least
doing scav runs and extracting gives +.1 rep i believe and you get + rep for killing bad scavs too
scavs are just for money and extracts for rep
0.01
+0.01
.1 rep woud be op
Man I wish I could kill a pscav then extract and be even lol
Should i really bother with him at this point?
using the car extracts like dorms vx givs you +rep too for rub but might be abit pricey cuz of -rep
we are only 3 weeks into wipe so yeah
oh mb
also there might be events that give fence rep
Fence isnt a good trader, scav rep is just useful for you scav's spawn items
or santa lmao
just take car extracts and scav normally and you should be ok
remove rep
does doing pmc+scav extracts give +rep too?
How long is a wipe? 3month?
neat.... does it ever even happen
6-8 months average
occasionally
fence at 6 rep lets you snuggle up to bosses as a scav and can purchase a PMCs uninsured loot that they died or dropped
I need help getting my scav karma up 
The last one was 5 months and 12 days long
if you go to a dual extract like scav lands and shoot in a pattern towards the sky sometimes people come
I'm really liking tarkov so far haga
I initially bought it on release, didn't really like it (Was a DayZ player)
I tried again because of the wipe, a friend told me that the game was better now
It feels much better than what i remember lol
yeah it's changed a lot since then
Is there any ETA on full release
2022 I've heard
I wonder if they'll go cross platform
People have made controller support mods, this game is impossible to play on controllers lol
Way too many keybinds
id just like it to release on steam so my friends will finally buy it
True, it would need to be a simplified control setting
console would have horrid frames
why arent they doing it now? do they not like the launcher
Yeah I wish they'd just put it on steam so we don't have to deal with xsolla's shit
A steam controller has an intense number of key bind options for example
valve is greedy company
I have chronic hand pain issues and can't years wasd
steam takes a big cut
the one controller made specifically for complex games isn't sold anymore 😢
valve takes abt 30-40%
wish I didn't have to but I do because it's my only option
Tarkov VR when
They don't really need to release on steam i would imagine with how popular the game is because of streamers and such
There were more than 500k people watching tarkov on twitch yesterday
and servers went kaput
this discord server also has more than 280k people in it 🤯
with the servers frying bcs of drops
My brother starter playing this game like a week ago and today he asked me "did tarkov just quit on you last night too?" Lmao
Maybe when they'll be ready for full release they will reach to either steam or epic games
so far I've definitely gotten more than my money's worth for the game
its the only game currently that i "enjoy"
I payed like $30 for this game then played it for 900 hours 🥶
It's been such a unique experience for the nearly two years I played this game
Then I spent an additional $70 and I'm still going
I leave my game open all the time so my playtime isn't accurate and I started in February 2020, my hour counter is higher than 7500
I used to do that with CSGO lol
i did that with eve online
I don't leave tarkov open in the background because seeing I have it open just makes me think "why am I not playing rn"
It's really addictive lol
It's not addictive the way mobile games are, it's just that good
leave it open sell a few items here and there yeee
The was no market research or testing for this game, just weird old Russian men
It's cool
good early on since full auto changes
Don't think it's very good without AP
the ump only has 25 round mags?
its pretty cheap and you dont have to mod it much if any
sight grip done
do you even need the grip
Nah suppressor is need cause it makes it sound 50% cooler
tru
100%
bro i slept for like 8 hours and woke up and still cant play lol
this was planned though
oh so they came back atleast?
yeah
1 hour more attleast
damn alright lol i gotta get my scav case 😦
If anyone is after support, shoot me a DM I can link a server that offers a free sherpa service, can't say the server is 100% active but its an open space with information to help you progress through the wipe.
no guns
might get it with pistol onlynot sure
I know for sure you’ll get it if you go melee
You get tagged and cursed if you load into a raid with either a hatchet (nothing) or a pistol
also i think cheap shotgun works
No
no
I asked yesterday but will try again: If my teammate has bad scav karma but mine is good, can I shoot scavs as soon as they hit him, or can I not shoot them at all (if I want to not lose karma)?
as a scav?
yes ofc, talking about playing as scavs
i think its personal
So if I ran in with only a TT and 4 mags and that’s all
Would that be tag worthy?
should be
Interesting question, they actually see the bad karma scav (as a pmc) so if they shoot at him and you kill the scav that engages your friend you will LOSE scav karma
Yes
Also what 20G shotty are in the game?
TOZ
it would be broken if teaming affected it like that
Only gun that uses 20 gauge as of now is the TOZ-106 @burnt vortex
What time are servers coming up again guys? is it 1 hour 40 from now or?
Should be like 10 min if I’m not wrong
so as I thought, I can only make callouts for him to where the scavs are and he has to kill them
I KEEP MY SCAV RAID ITEMS :DDD
Oh that sucks…I wanted to try those star shells
20/70 star shells dont actually blind you like the KS23 star shells which are now called "Zvezda" if you were wondering
I new can someone help understand the game and play the game with me
unable to play with you however Ill answer any questions you have, usually best way to learn is just keep asking questions
personally i use Tweaks settings however everyone has their preferences
cant crouch/walk through the door?
go out, immediately left, you should see a small path down in the water, it's walkable there
get out go right when u see right next to water turn left then keep walking
i just had a brain fart
get out go left till u get invisible wall then walk left and ur out
The path down is like on your left and behind you from where that screenshot's taken from
i dont know the woods expansion completely yet
Is the rogue base a good spot to loot as a scav? I know you can't go inside buildings or on the helipad
ahhh finally got out 🙂 thx
too bad i died with this key....
can someone guide me thru this massive woods shit to do jaeger quest just once lol
can someone help me with wtf to do in this game i just tried some woods shit and got sniped lmao
quick question i need the RB-ST key for revision part 1 and cant find the key on the market i was wondering if the name got changed
Oh well then dang nvm
ever just get the perfect headshot in a firefight only to hear your gun go click
i wanna die
not to my knowledge, most likely none on market due to it being needed for the quest
pick up stuff and dont die
kill things and dont die
I saw on the wiki that docs cases and keytools spawn on customs in warehouse 3 "In "Warehouse 3" on the shelf left of the back door."
where is warehouse 3?
Anyone able to help me plant my quest item in factory tried it 6 times now and aways die to someone not nice enough to spare me D:
i believe the warehouse with the train
my buddies and i have different calls for everything though so i could be wrong
did you already grab it again
yes
noice
anyone know a decent scope i can get with lvl 1 traders?
not a dovetail, need it for M700/Adar
al
i guess i could use my hunter actually
Whats the button to instantly equip rigs/helmets and guns?
Alright ty
its the middle warehouse where the unknown key is used
that's for a few barter trades but way later in the trader loyalty levels, you can sell it or wait for when you have flea
Where can I see the changes of the latest technical client update?
Sell it to therapist
??????
my stash is filling up, do i just start using the stuff?
normally I'd sell the rigs and shit but i realized they actually save space
well its there to be used so thats a good start
just go at it
Theres no offer of this on the flea, how much should i sell for?
play factory and go nuts
12:40:01: Installing BattlEye Service...
12:40:01: Failed to install BattlEye Service (4, 40000430). what to do?
sure it can get sold on flea?
they normally go up to 100k
midwipe like 200k
ya
theres 2 listings now
at 70 and 90k
then do like 70k to 90k lol could prolly get a bit more from it but if u want it gone then its still worth
Is it possible to turn not found in raid items to found in raid ?
all the homies hate shoreline tasks......
No, The only way to get FIR items is you either get it out of raid or you craft items
Crafting items are always found in raid
bruhhh nostalgia task is pretty nice lol
Not even bruh I’ve been stuck on the same reserve quest for a week
ive done 90% of them but i can never survive shoreline lmaoo
Must be nice to have keys 😔
lol
i just bought the game, its currently downloading is there anywhere i can look to see what it’s about?
ive found 90% of the needed shoreline task keys ngl but customs i had to wait till lvl 15
I have some lvl 4 armor that i found as pmc on factory in other pmc bodys but it says that i dont found that item in a raid ?
I extractit to
I got blue tape out of a scav run
Watch pestily guides there pretty handy
But I just can’t get ANY RESERVE KEYS
i found mine at dorms lol
At this time I’ve gotten 4 dorms keys from scavs than any reserve keys
You might have extracted to quick, When you get out of a raid very quick you get a run through.
When you get a run through everything you extracted with loses its FIR status
all i need for reserve rn is SMP....
im locked behind SMP key...
FIR is actually spawned in raid
and im not paying fucking 10m for it
I just got smp like 15 min ago
wusup guys, my first time playing tarkov! im lvl 17 i think, what about u fellas?
if the pmc brought it on himself it is not considered spawned in raid
You either have to stay in a raid for more than 7 minutes, or have like 700 XP total from killing scavs, PMCs and looting items
u selling? lolol
Thats how you get the Survived Status
But if you got it of a PMC thats a different story @left summit
more like 300 exp - 1 scav headshot kill
Yes i know but i killed one guy in that raid so i think this would count to survived
FIR = spawned in raid
If the person you killed didnt find the item in raid its not found in raid
it did not spawn in raid
think of it like that
Oh okey i get it thanks
Is kappa container realistic for my first wipe? Or should I just sell the rare items
you have like 6 months ahead of you so it's realistic
but it will require a lot of dedication
Kappa takes forever
what time? lol i got KSM key but no SMP
you need lvl 62 too
can u no longer sell this on flea?
Is this key any good?
Uhh whenever I’ll be awake at like 10-11 am pst
when im in the middle of the raid, how do I find extracts? I know bearly anything about the maps
Slumped rn it’s 4
i just got it too its not horrible lol gives some meds but i think its a task key? not 100% certain
bet just @ me here or sum
Just search it up on wiki tells u the contents
Bet
Do you have the key for the tank marker
wat key is that?
Pray I get one damn
Rb-st
very rare for LEDx and GPU but yea lol
Bruh I have 4 access keycards now 😭
wait lvl 3 PK sells m62? bruhh OP
Tfff
ive gotten like 20 of them this wipe
i just started doing his tasks lol
i still ned AHF1.....
thats all i need for samples
now im on his 3rd task i gotta mark the T90s lol
Is the ophtalmo barter for the items case worth buying?
same lol
Ngl the barter for a meds case is so much cheaper than buying it from flea
Bunch of meds spawn potential ledx spawn, tetriz spawn on table, yeah i would say this is a pretty good key
You cant even buy it on flea anymore can you?
naw u cant
Hmm so currently thats like a million for the ophtalmos
can more than 1 of those random extracts be open at customs?
Why can't I place a sight on this mosin?
hey can anyone help me with finding jaeger?
its an infantry version
Serious about jumping into Tarkov this wipe. Trying to really put all effort into it. Finally comfortable with keyboard and mouse. Just need refresher on controls and any changes since last wipe. Just having a hard time finding people to run with. NA East Server. Beginner
send grinder profile too
should i keep it? i can sell it for over 300k on the fleam
Does the leg always fracture when a shot causes it to reach 0 health?
nope
sell it
dewit
It’s not complete yet
DEWIT
Why don’t you want to show me a little bit
wait until you complete the task with that key
I am not looking for friends, just looking for people to show me some stuff in the game
it's expensive for a reason
Under what conditions does it fracture then
should i just alt f4 lmao
Your a little kid Nevermind
?
Nevermind I thought you were older. Not a bad thing just thought you were a little older. I am an idiot. My fault
real mature buddy
real mature
Ok have a merry Christmas and happy holidays.
it's a random chance per bullet
aight bye
Not based on damage?
there's generally a correlation - higher damage shots are more likely to fracture - but it's not a causative thing
ey, cant really play with people right now but if you have any questions or want my advice on anything feel free to ask
do scavs at the tree shoot at u
Hence the rip ammunition leg meta thing?
nope
it also depends on your health or vitality skill
rip ammo doesn't fracture much afaik
you need to break the bone
Can i only sell 2 items at the time on the flea ?
Is the leg meta an actual thing tho
That would be awesome. Would you mind adding me so I can send you a message if I have questions
yes
Dang I thought it was a meme
What’s the leg meta?
the idea is that blacked out limbs spread damage dealt to them to other body parts
and there is no armor that covers legs
high damage low pen rounds being rapidly fired at unaromored legs
ignore my spelling
so you use high flesh damage ammo to destroy the legs and deal damage to all other parts of the body
legs because they have 1x multiplier for damage spread, arms have 0.75x, stomach has 1.5x
I would love to have you has a resource. When I wanted to learn this game a year ago, I was new to PC. Now I am more comfortable with mouse and keyboard so trying g to get back into it
for pistol kills i'd just say grab a p226 or a glock with pst and aim for the face
and hope you run into other people doing pistol kills
Hey @pearl pier would you ever want to play sometime
So does every shot on a blackened leg deals 1x damage to every other limb or does it divide that damage over all the non-blackened limbs
Dunno man, I live in SEA
Is that Seattle or Southeast Asia?
Southeast asia
it divides the damage between all non blacked limbs
Ahh ok
So that’s still quite an amount of bullets
But it’s easier to hit legs than hit other parts of the body
And I think it’s easier to penetrate the legs , especially when they are wearing a helmet imo
Gotta try it out someday on factory
the damage is divided depending on the body part, so you cannot kill the head faster than thorax for example with leg meta
where can i find ahf1-m and obdolbos WITHOUT GOING TO LABS
i have shoreline keys
9x19 rip is 100 damage, pmc hp is 440
so you need a total of 5 hits to kill any pmc with rip
dont legs multiply damage by 1.5
no, stomach does
Thanks for replying. Happy New Year
Ur crazy
yes
Legma
Can i only make 2 ofers at one time on the flea marked
Yes
just med spawns in general, i've been told people found a lot of obdolbos in meth lab customs, but they might've nerfed the spawn rates by now
I haven’t found an ahf1 yet
whats the best way to level up to get to the flea market
Quests
I think I have 1 more gunsmith quest and then I’m done
Happy I got my rsass and stuff from marked
Except for the one on the wiki, is there another mp133 build that doesn’t need the custom forestock for gunsmith part 1?
Nah u need it
is fmj good
good enough
I am messing around with the presets and wanted to assemble a weapon to try it out but I have a problem
when I click on assemble, it will display all the stuff that I'm missing and when I try to buy the parts it says not available
so in other words, how can I add attachments to a weapon that I know for sure it will exist in the market in order to buy? it feels I can customize all I want in the "dream world" but when it comes to assemble it I will be missing a lot of it ..
ok so sometimes the items are not in stock with the vendors
That might be the issues
on top there are filters, see if you have traders only filter
otherwise it will be a big trial and error attempt
oh there was a filter there that made me see everything 🤔
it will unlock the others
yep
alright, thanks!
if it says unable to purchase you can f5 and it will refresh
also 270k for a pretty midrange m4
yeah
it's my first "customized build" XD I have no idea what I am doing yet
just placing attachments and analysing the statistics of it
is 33 durability too low to use for a 6b13 (class4)?
budget ak with bt, ulach
if you are planning to pvp with it.. you might wanna armor swap with the guys you kill
or find better armor mid raid
yeah im worried it'll get wrecked, i think i'll just use a new one
i usually have no issue with it
i just use it till i cant no more
i wouldnt, but im hitting up kiba so i'm on edge haha
honestly the people camping are gonna have good bullets
at this point in raid
so just run it
because it covers neck and most of body
and the durability is doable
What mods do i use for the gunsmith 1
invest in sugar
you can find a guide on the tarkov wiki
and invest in condensed milk
also is it wise to run a full shield into interchange, or is hearing more important when solo
I’m a day into this game lol, any wanna wanna run with a noob for a bit?
It really depends on your play style. I always prefer hearing for the advanced warning if someone is near. But if you like to just run through and are good at reacting to getting shot at full mask is fine.
Killing sanitar, they can rarely spawn in backpacks of normal scavs too
invest in gpu, buy 25 rn for 500k instead of buying for 1mil later wipe
how much is a "late game weapon" with all the attachments ? more or less
what is the repellent used for?
cms kit barter
200-500K roubles depending greatly on weapon and whether you want the "top" tier piece or sacrifice 1 ergo, for example, and go with the second best piece and save maybe 100K. Ammo not included.
ah nice, so the preset I was making is not that bad then
now I wonder if the weapon is any "good" 😄
I did this and in total was like 230k
you have good m4 ammo?
without good ammo it does not make sense to build meta shit
you cant buy top tier ammo of flea now
Are servers shitting the bed now?
Seems good, not top tier, but that'll save you a lot of money for not a lot of gain.
didn't understand that, the weapon will save me a lot of money but I won't gain that much? O.o
You can swap a few parts for better ergo and recoil control, but the price you will pay will increase more than its worth in my opinion
Heyyy does anyone want to hop in a raid with me and just figure out the mechanics together?
ah got it, ty
you could make an m4 with lower recoil and higher ergo for cheaper lol
But overall, the weapon is just the tool to put ammo into the target, the ammo does the damage and thats what counts
rotor suppressor is bad
Pricing depends greatly on what traders you have unlocked. So you CAN build better for cheaper, but maybe not yet depending on what level your traders are
@undone blade the best ammo for the M4A1 is it the last 2?
Dont shoot scavs. Have your PMC use car extracts.
Car extracts?
did anyone get the legendary drop yesterday?
Yea, as a PMC there are car extracts on woods, interchange, lighthouse, and customs. Pay money to extract and itll boost fence rep. Repeatedly using the same one will get less and less positive rep, so alternate
M856A! and M855A1 are also very good rounds
55A1,995,SSA AP are the ones you want to be using mainly
And how much it costs? And do i need the money in my inv
Best ammo isn't an easy answer, depends on what you are shooting. Some ammo has high flesh damage (taking HP from target and killing it), but it cant get through armor if they have it. High penetration ammo gets through armor, but causes less flesh damage. Most people go 855A1 because of a balance.
I severely need help
I started playing this morning and I have died I’d say 10 times and most of my stuff is basically gone
do a scav
its been a while since i played. what the heck is the airplane on interchange?
Yes but I keep on dying
are you shooting scavs as a scav lol
I don’t know
Cost can vary, you must have the cash on your PMC anywhere, safe container is ok. The total price will be displayed when you get to the car. The cash must be in a single stack to pay. So if the car costs 8k, two stacks of 5k won't work, combine them and pay.
You sprinting around a lot? Sometimes you need to slow down and go easy to get started, then speed up once you get the hang of it
how to find my twitch drop
Itll be in a message from Prapor in game
is this the drop ?
Yes
worth selling or should i keep for something
you are just showing the price of a vase
There is a later Ragman quest for a few of those, or they barter with Ragman level 4. If you need space, sell, they are frequent in safes
is there a way to examine stuff faster
higher search skill
it's so annoying that you have to re-examine stuff every wipe
Middle mouse button, I believe is default, instead of right click and Examine if you are doing it that way
i am already doing that
Allright thanks, and what are the car extracts? Do they exist already on some maps or so
Interchange, Woods, Customs - Percentage chance to spawn
Interchange, woods, customs, and lighthouse. Any map should show them
You have to hand over a small amount of roubles
Allright
Ooo Lighthouse has one now
you want 995 and 55a1 mainly, 56a1 is ok too
The cost of roubles depends on scav rep, but all are under 10k
Ok I will stop sprinting and see
also what is this for?
Water collector in hideout upgrade to level.... 3 I think
Uhmmm
Pun intended? Lol
Since when do planes fly over interchange?
Air drop event, loot inside
only interchange?
Seems to be every outdoor map from what i've been told
is the loot good
tagilla has aimbot
All bots have aimbot, it is what makes the AI shoot in your direction. Bosses are just more accurate.
he one tabed me from 40m 
Thats tarkov for you sometimes
Yep. He wounded me a few times last night, but not in my head, so its random and not 100% headshots
WAIT AIRDROPS IN TARKOV?
Yeah it's sick
HOW TO GET THEM
.
@crystal oracle
how do I turn the infra red laser on and keep the lantern off?
I went through the flea market and examined every single thing on there 💀
No idea why it's a thing tbh 
Toggle
Fr
what is a good scope for the keltec RFB ?
Assuming you're buying from trader, the same trader sells a 2x scope too I believe
That one's pretty solid
If you want a variable scope you'll have to fork out a bit more though
Elcan 1-4 isn't bad, valday 1-6
i have flea marked unlocked
You can also get a 30mm scope mount and use the Vudu 1-6/Tac30 1-4
ight thanks
Peesonally vudu or tac30 are my go to on rfb.
how do i know if a scope fits on a weapon or do theoretically every scope fits on every weapon ?
build workbench and use "Edit Preset" on a weapon to customize it before buying parts
Most Scopes and sights will fit on weapons
Things like pistols have the same picatinny rail to attach sights
But cannot fit things like a 30mm ring mount/Elcan sight
But can take reflex sights like the Deltapoint
But yes, what Rockadillion also said
ok thanks
Edit preset will save you a lot of money
Just know
Anything you haven't examined
Will not show up in the edit preset table
man for a second i missed factory scav runs
till i got in and got sprayed by a pscav the second he saw me
Just did a factory run where a i missed an entire glock 18 mag on him (crazy recoil jesus), 2nd mag insta headshot him as he yelled "You fucking suck"
Very satisfying lol
lol
So I just found a bunch of MS2000 and i don't know what to do with them. Should i sell them? Keep them for quests?
keep them
can someone pls help me get jaegers message on woods i dont know where to go
Bro why do i just walk into the offices in factory and just found like 3 dead bodies next to offive window extraction point
lmao
Leftover loot everywhere like its been a late christmas gift
Shit everywhere
A toz
Mossberg 3 rigs and some armor
does anyone have the bunkhouse key for customs?
Camper’s leftovers or maybe a grenade lol
if that was me, there would be a player scav waiting to kill me even tho i'm a scav too
i die to pscavs in scav runs more than i die to pmcs
Servers down atm?
Yes
are servers down?
Hay i was hoping to find someone who knows there stuff to teach me and do some runs with me xD im useless
servers arent down but im getting gateway errors every so often
Just pop a couple questions in here and someone will answer

take a gun with you you might be less useless..
well was hopin to get some usefull info but guess this aint the place
do scav runs its free money
whats best map to do them on ?
factory
i tried interchange and it was confusing as
it's been the third time already
helicopter area in reserve has treated me well money wise
factory is the smallest map.. just find a few weapon crate.. and get out in the 3rd floor of office or gate 3
hmm ok ill try factory now
sem server issues meybe
heres a map for you
ive been getting that alot too
guess i'll go out and touch grass
lol That says factory map but the preview is woods
should i sell a lvl 32 dogtag?
prepare for more
i should definitely see what grass looks like
should i sell a lvl 32 dogtag? I am lvl 4
Yes.
Whats you peoples sensitivity that use 800 dpi? I feel like im moving too much as it puts a strain on my shoulder when playing for longer periods.
I use 3k dpi 
i use 800
theres 2 way to use your mouse
Whats your ingame sense?
Ye ikik.
what you want to do to avoid strain
is
use your wrist
use shoulder only when doing big flicks
Is that how you usually play on pc?
anyone willing to help i know the basics just looking for someone to run with
depends on what game lol
Ive only started a year ago on pc and just went with what felt okish
But im barely using my wrist tbh
Im only playing tarkov ever since i got my rig
also you might want to check your posture
maybe considering change a chair or desk or both
Alrdy done that. Apparently its as perfect as it can be.
what chair you sitting on lol
Herman miller ughh idk
It is, always
and your eyes looking straight is right above the centre of your monitor
Whats your ingame sense to compare
Whats default? I dont even remember that
Barely any faster than mine. But ill give it a shot.
The only posture thing i could think of is my elbow being too far away from my body sometimes.
can anyone clarify who gets the 0.7 rep? The scav or the PMC?
For the Co Op Extract
Exfiltration reputation is for your scav/fence reputation
Fence rep. Scavs and PMCs dont have rep
So if I goto the Co Op Extract with scav, I will get the 0.7 fence rep?
Your Fence rep will increase
^ Yes
You're exfiltrating/extracting
oh yeah that really affects it too
def don't be too far away from your body
anyone else notice airdrops stopped?
Say it's not so
No i'm saying please say no lol
it might have
i will see this raid
bruh im forgetting to turn in a quest
anyone have the key to do pocketwatch on NA?
anyone have the key to customs office key
bro someone needs to explain
i went 4 times to shoreline night
and every time there were cultists at west wing
in the most west part of it
just outside
every time
did they massively increase the cultist spawn rate?
GOT THE AIRDROP LEZZ GO
I killed a guy for it so idk
deez nuts
nope
😅
Hiya, newish to the game and so far have learnt lots but something I cant wrap my head around is understanding what ammo is good. Im trying to run one of my best loadouts rn to get over gear fear but I cant decide on ammo for my AK-101 5.56x45 rifle. Any tips on what ammo is good and which isnt?
the fuck you were doing? fence rep matters a lot mid-late game
I know, killed 2 santa's unlucky
Huh what
minus or plus
plus obv
how can i increase that fast? Only by doing car extracts?
and coop
30 more scav raids and i will reach 4 again
you get .01 for every extract
and coop is with other players same extract?
I have higher fence rep than any other traders xd
coop is pmc and player scav extract
how do i get a scav on my side as a pmc ;p
voip
lmao
its an #beginners-assistance chat so dont blame me
What did ya get inside
Anyone get back to you?
You never heard of voip??
Using voip is best, it needs to be enabled though
Not enabled by default
Have it enabled yeah
i killed a guy
but theres some ammo in it
good ammo
Mmmmm
didn't really loot it tbh
so far not yet
So those numeric values in red orange and green are kind of how reliable the bullet will penetrate the class of armor
0 being it will take a lot of ammo to penetrate through, 6 being will penetrate 4/5 times
I just got -1.0 rep to fence from one raid !! how is this possible ?
I dont remember killing santa
can anyone help me do the prapor quest in woods the bases
usec camp?
how would I get my rep back ?
yeah
I havnt found a good way yet but you can get a friend to shoot around another player scav on factory. then they might shoot him so when u kill them it gives u scav karma
Very toxic though
thats a good idea
where can i find a fuel conditioner
and kinda mean to the person😂
😈
old idea
oooooh
i used to just bait people to kill me
Ty

Or just get ur friend to kill bunch of scavs then kill him but i think that counts as boosting
You don't know where it is or other problems?
Well I find it stupid to get -1.0 rep for a kill
i dont know the excavations
I didnt even know killing scav could get you bad rep on fence
i got close and walked thru a mine field
Now I have to fix this and its gonna be pain
Ye its really stupid especially on factory where its real cramped and if u hesitate u might die
Yea don't go on that side, alot of land mines
Most of my raids I go factory
walk the side where there is water
It multiplies so if you kill more than one scav it goes up so try not to kill to many scavs
thats good for scav xp if u do it as scav
When I got his loot I shot everything in my way to the extract
