[serene reef]

this is actually something a REALLY experienced player would say 👌

[prime sapphire]

^

[serene reef]

esp play to the loadout's adventage

can't stress that enough when i play with a fren

[prime sapphire]

Honestly

[serene reef]

if you have a sa58 that is accurate

try to not play cqc vs a 1200rpm vector xD

[burnt vortex]

where is the tree on reserve?

[prime sapphire]

At the bunkers between knights and train

[serene reef]

Omg yes

[deft dew]

well saying is one thing, trying to apply it while panicking when being shot at is a bit different, I'll see how it goes

[serene reef]

yeah but if you realize that you have a straight path to improvement

[burnt vortex]

thank you

[serene reef]

not just running around blindly one step forward two back

[prime sapphire]

Yeah that is valid. It's all learning asses your games after and try to think about how you could have played different to abuse your advantage and minimise your disadvantage.

[serene reef]

and use kits that are the best you can get for given situations

extreme example is dont take a sniper to factory

but you make your own kits

if you know you're going into buildings

you cna try to run a saiga shotty

and bait enemies to push you

etc

[deft dew]

oh I agree, even having an idea of trying something else than what hasn't been working is better than nothing

[burnt vortex]

Bring shotguns to woods

Use BMG 12G

you have budget barret

[serene reef]

shotties are actually good there

[burnt vortex]

lmao

[deft dew]

I read that Sherpas can't really help with PvP, right?

[prime sapphire]

I run a bolt action with a 3x-12x variable zoom and run it to almost any map with high success because I play around my strength and let my teammates eat bullets and do the spicy CQC stuff while I pick off easy targets from afar or give clear callouts and Intel when I don't have a clean shot.

[serene reef]

like mp153 long barrel

[burnt vortex]

What?

[serene reef]

hamr

ap-20

oneshot to the head

[burnt vortex]

sherpas not allowed to help fight?

[prime sapphire]

Yes they can.

[burnt vortex]

What are sherpas gonna do when they get attacked

[serene reef]

Sherpas help to give you tools not give you food

they will teach you how to get water not give you water

[prime sapphire]

They are not going to carry you. But they will help you in other ways.

[serene reef]

if they think you CAN try to fight alone

and it's beneficial for you

cause practice

[prime sapphire]

^

[serene reef]

they will let you fight alone

and possibly try to rescue you

[desert cloak]

where am i rn

[serene reef]

that's why uou need to be good

[prisma hatch]

Woods

[serene reef]

emercom camp

[desert cloak]

ok thanks

[deft dew]

I remember reading about having clear goals about what you want to learn and one of the things you shouldn't say is "I want to get better at PvP"

[serene reef]

The big chimney things you see

that look like its a nuclearreactor

that's factory

aka south and east

east, right?

xD

[prime sapphire]

I don't believe this. I think the thing is saying that is an easy bait for people to force PVP in bad situations just for experience which is detrimental to learning PVP in the game tbh.

[olive oracle]

where did u get the map

[serene reef]

reddit

you can have two sources

mapgenie.io/tarkov

which are INTERACTIVE maps

and you can see / select what you wanna see

or get your own collection from reddit threads

or ask me to send you my collection

[prime sapphire]

PVP is a lot more about positioning and smart gameplay than forcing fights. So getting better at PVP is less the actual fights and more of what happens before the fight imo.

[serene reef]

personally i prefer clear reddit maps

also wiki

[serene reef]

fights are most often decided before they start

[olive oracle]

yeah i use mapgenie but i hate how big all the pins are like they take up the entire map

[prime sapphire]

Reddit maps are good for just having a clear overhead map. Mapgenie is good for finding specific type of loot.

[serene reef]

your initial position before taking fire can lead to victory or defeat

[serene reef]

mousewheel zooms in and out

want my maps?

[deft dew]

so what it means is you shouldn't want to fight as a separate thing but rather mix it into learning the rest of the game?

[tired venture]

i got friendly randoms asking me all the time where task related stuff is, I always say to just google it. I thought that was the norm

[serene reef]

most of the time fighting is bad for you

even if you win

[vagrant cargo]

pk lvl 2 is 11k dollqrs

[prime sapphire]

Yeah pretty much.

[serene reef]

even looting the enemies is a danger to your life

[vagrant cargo]

hoz do i get 11k $

[serene reef]

cause you cna get backstabbed

and you risk dying

[serene reef]

it's money spend with him

anything you sell/buy from him counts

[vagrant cargo]

i know

[primal breach]

fuckkkk

[sage locust]

Im getting stuttering on a 3080 is that normal?

[primal breach]

i killed santa for the 3rdf fuckiung time

back to 3.2 karma

i want to kill myself

[vagrant cargo]

11k is like 1.3mil roubles

[serene reef]

personally i ended up buying/reselling m9a3s xD

[primal breach]

[serene reef]

and always sell diaries and stuff like that

sas drives

to him

[prime sapphire]

Fighting will happen naturally. Look to become better at setting up a good fight and executing a plan rather than just W key at everything. Even playing more passively you will still get into gunfights a ton but you have more control if you slow it down and don't just W key.

[serene reef]

he gives the most money

[serene reef]

learn how to stay safe

if you cross from 3story dorms to 2story

while the enemy is there camping

you die most likely

you need to learn to anticipate

where enemies might be

where is safe

etc

like customs

you have two types of people

ones going east and ones going west

[deft dew]

How do I make that fit when I've played tons of offline (and watched content creators/guides) where I learned the maps, mechanics etc (basically the game but without human players) before I started playing live?

[serene reef]

zb11 and big red extracts

you need to realize when people are most likely to cross

and which way they could be going

[prime sapphire]

Basically what sooft is saying and what I always promote is reactive gameplay will get you killed you need proactive gameplay and forethought. You need to be the one with a plan and the one who takes control don't just react off getting shot at with nothing but reactions.

[cold junco]

any1 down for some raids and who dosent mind to help me a bit cuz im a bit new

[prime sapphire]

A lot of streamers and content creators have far more experience in pvp and can be more reckless don't take their example in fights as an end all be all.

[serene reef]

they also play it so much a lot of stuff is mechanic

they depend on the fact that they will be able to shoot first even if they only see the enemy after being shot

[prime sapphire]

Not sure what to tell you for this exact question aside from my previous reccomendations.

[serene reef]

basically half of the time they';re playing with their food

[deft dew]

I know streamers are making it look way easier than it actually is, no illusions there, I was mostly wondering whether that would be something a Sherpa would be interested in / allowed to "coach" - a player who's basically new at the Tarkov PvP experience alone

[ashen spindle]

can soomeone help me get out of this woods raid? i have alot of gear and i dont knoow the map at all?

[serene reef]

call me

[stiff rampart]

can you lose fence rep by shooting the scavs around the christmas trees while offline? i can't think of any other reason i lost like .7 rep

[prime sapphire]

Best way to do that would be to watch you live while you streamed your gameplay but it's do-able.

[abstract phoenix]

how do you unlock jaegar? he controls most of my guns in the flea market

[faint osprey]

find his camp in woods

[digital sable]

If you’re looking to improve, I’d recommend recording your gameplay so you can start figuring out what you’re doing right and wrong. I’m sure if you posted some clips, people would be willing to give pointers here.

[hardy pine]

brand new to the game, what should i do to start? scav?

[abstract phoenix]

da woods map?

[faint osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_No-WOEaM0o&t=68s

[abstract phoenix]

thanks man

[tame granite]

i just did my best scav run ever and after putting the stuff in my stash the game gave a error and everything disappeared

[deft dew]

not sure I would be able to record/stream, I barely get ~50 fps while playing, already have all the settings as low as they can go

[faint osprey]

np

[tame granite]

any way to get the stuff back?

[blazing kestrel]

insurance

[tame granite]

scav run

[blazing kestrel]

nope

[tame granite]

the servers this wipe are so bad

i keep losing so much great gear

[abstract phoenix]

wait, do i need to do missions for the mechanic?

[prime sapphire]

Hmmm what' are you running ?

[upbeat elk]

how do u lose gear to servers?

in-game servers are always fine

[faint osprey]

im new to this game too so i'm not sure about that one :D

[abstract phoenix]

ah, no worries, thanks though

[upbeat elk]

which ones

[primal breach]

i killed santa

tell me something to feel better

cuz im so fucking pissed rn

[abstract phoenix]

the ones to get jaeger?

[prime sapphire]

You should do most missions for anyone

[faint osprey]

santa was a bad man

[upbeat elk]

yes

[tame granite]

i ended scav run put gear in stash

[abstract phoenix]

wait do i gotta do em all?

[tame granite]

and server errors appeared

[upbeat elk]

Your name isnt Karen

[tame granite]

the game wouldnt load and lost everything

[upbeat elk]

You want to do all quests. Fastest way to level up and also thats how u level up traders. No reason to skip quests unless you wanna keep playing with shit gear

[primal breach]

i just lost 1.0 karma

and went from 3.7 to 2.7

[abstract phoenix]

what one should i do first then? i just started

[primal breach]

i hope they refund the karma

[upbeat elk]

Meh, do u really care that much? Who even scavs

[primal breach]

after the event

[upbeat elk]

Its good to unlock Jaeger asap, as he will sell the shotguns mp-133 that u need for the first quest.

Other than that, just do in whatever order u want

As long as u do it

[prime sapphire]

Like what are your specs?

[olive ravine]

How do you unlock jaeger

[upbeat elk]

Try to do more quests at once in the same map (later when you get more quests)

[upbeat elk]

First quest from Mechanic

[abstract phoenix]

wait so do i do mechanic first then?

[harsh epoch]

Are stash upgrades in the hideout permanent

[upbeat elk]

Its not necessary. The route u take with quests doesnt matter that much. Just do them.

[ancient tartan]

What raids should I do for loot at an early level? I keep dying whenever I try factory or customs

[upbeat elk]

Its just easier because then u dont have to get the shotguns from scavs, u can just buy them

[upbeat elk]

Dont do factory unless quests

[abstract phoenix]

aight, thanks man

[upbeat elk]

Also, i would advise u to focus on quests, not to get loot. Levels>loot early

[ancient tartan]

I see . So I should just do quests and not try to loot factory

[prime sapphire]

Not really loot on factory tbh

[balmy peak]

are there any grenades used for quests or something? Im not really planning to use them

[primal breach]

will bsg make a karma event after christmas event

this is such a shitshow with santa

[deft dew]

quad 3.5 GHz Ryzen 3, 8 gigs RAM, 4 gigs RX 570
it's definitely not a top rig by any means, I'm just happy it can run Tarkov and most not-that-old games somewhat

[primal breach]

a lot of people like me have lost karma

to accidently killing santa

[wraith bone]

im just trying to learn the extraction points

[brittle path]

I uh i just extracted and depoed but i just went to traders and everything is gone explaination?

[left summit]

best smg in the game ?

[ancient tartan]

oops i meant not loot

also, what gear should i bring if im just doing quests?

should i buy armor and shit

[deft dew]

Bring gear that helps you not die to scavs, anything above that increases your chances should you run into players

[burnt vortex]

This a good find in raid?

not sure

[unique steeple]

its an m4

[burnt vortex]

Youre talking to a man who only uses Saiga 12/9

who needs a stupid M4

[unique steeple]

💀

[burnt vortex]

i want to sell it

[unique steeple]

sell it then

its not even fir

[burnt vortex]

but like im not sure if i should wait for flea

or traders

[deft dew]

Anyway I'll sleep on the advice, thanks for the perspective and help @prime sapphire and @serene reef

[unique steeple]

u cant sell to flea*

[burnt vortex]

well i can put it up?

for market price i guess

[unique steeple]

no its not fir

[burnt vortex]

ohh

I see what youre saying

its not found in raid

FIR

[unique steeple]

yea

[burnt vortex]

Well to traders it goes

lmao

some dude just domed my friend and i looted this guys gun. Another dude the guy killed and probably wanted to loot

But gotta loot faster than that campy man

[serene reef]

🐾 💖

[fleet arch]

help please

need a big big carry

[serene reef]

#pvp-lfg

[wraith bone]

so customs is prolly the most important map to learn?

[burnt vortex]

Id argue all maps are important to learn

[bold kernel]

whats the best map for loot??

[primal breach]

do ya'll think they will make a karma event after christmas event

[serene reef]

customs is the first quest map

[real escarp]

ye i think so

[serene reef]

lighthouse i'd say

[primal breach]

people like me have lost a lot of karma for killing snata

[serene reef]

also certain loots on other maps but then you need to hit certain spots

[wraith bone]

ok ive only played 2 days now and ive gotten pretty good at woods but im lost at customs

[serene reef]

for example old village on woods is good money wise

but lighthouse there's good loot everywhere really xD

[olive oracle]

does -.4 scav karma really give you no gear for some scav runs

[real escarp]

same lol

[bold kernel]

ok got it thank you :3

[serene reef]

no it's the same chance

2scav karma and you will get runs with 50ish k worth of gear

pistol and no armor xD

[storm bolt]

Does durability affects weapons stats/accuracy etc? Or lower durability weapon have only higher chance of malfunction

[serene reef]

ps look at mapgenie.io

woods

and look at rare spawns

or valuables

[wraith bone]

@real escarp its way harder to learn the maps then i expeted im fine with the gun play

[serene reef]

the diamond thing

there's just THAT much there

[real escarp]

fr fr , its so important to know all the extract spots

[serene reef]

but then i saw someone open the red car key

on lighthouse

and get 2 bitcoins

[vernal hound]

the servers are so extremely fuccccd rn

[serene reef]

aka 2 slots worth 600k

[balmy peak]

im kind of struggling on space, any tips? I only have the standard edition storage

[prime sapphire]

Ah yeah that's tough.

[wraith bone]

thank you for the map ive been useing a really bad one

[spare thunder]

has anyone dared to play today since server status is yellow?

[prime sapphire]

Bet you can't even run lighthouse at all then huh?

[bold kernel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/919988865849262150/926238187209244742/unknown.png couldve got this as an NFT and it wouldve been cheaper than buying this actual game to look at this

[blazing kestrel]

Hahahaha

[wraith bone]

@spare thunder ya it lets me play around 30 min to an hour before it kicks me out but it seems ok rn

[thin canyon]

Any experiences players feel like showing a newbie around this evening? Just reinstalled after a long long break

[spare thunder]

i don't want to lose my stuff so I won't take the risk

[wraith bone]

ive been running a knife and scav runs all day

[vapid flume]

Was in offline and got this, game shut down and now I cant open it?

[vocal orchid]

oh no its back

[real escarp]

had the same bs , just went away the next day

[vapid flume]

It always does this

[bold kernel]

what a horror game

[vocal orchid]

106015

[vapid flume]

well, didnt until recently

[serene reef]

100% upgrade ram

i tried to play at 8GBs

[prime sapphire]

^

[serene reef]

and i had constant stuttering

[spare thunder]

I guess I could do scav runs if I upgraded my version

[serene reef]

game would freeze up for split a second

[spare thunder]

I have the cheapest one

[bold kernel]

ram is important as i see

[serene reef]

16GBs now and the difference was MAJOR

[real escarp]

it should go away for you try this blog https://quoramarketing.com/fix-escape-from-tarkov-error-106015-cannot-establish-server-connection/

[wraith bone]

me to i just started yesterday it lets me run scav runs

[spare thunder]

Oh, I have no space

That is why I have to PMC

[wraith bone]

oh damn

[tired venture]

I just bought the scav junk box, best thing I ever did. Wish it stored meds and ammo tho

[vapid flume]

was this the reason it happend?

[spare thunder]

You get an ammo box from the christmas gift

[keen sluice]

then it would be op lol

[grand vapor]

what do i do its been like 5 mins

[keen sluice]

alt f4

[grand vapor]

do i lose my shit?

[blazing saffron]

yeah I've had a friend have the same experience from 16->32GB, constant stutters @ 16, none @ 32

[bold kernel]

selling this NFT for £80 its cheaper than the actual game, msg me asap kek

[wary valley]

when did airdrops stop?

[limpid coyote]

is it a good idea to change my server to an asia server so that I can have an empty lobby? I normally play on us servers

[tired venture]

you can reconnect, and if you haven't died in between the time you dc and reconnect, you'll be fine

but this game is seirously buggy ever since yesterday

[grand vapor]

i extracted tho?

[spare thunder]

Better not play today

[echo field]

its been bugged since launch

[serene reef]

depends prob on settings too

[tired venture]

constant inventory errors, have to restart my game at least once every raid

[wraith bone]

ya it wont even boot up rn

[serene reef]

i literally play on minimal

[somber summit]

Ok so you cant extract now i guess?

[serene reef]

i'd say 16 is the bare minimum to play this game

[somber summit]

Sitting in a vlacl screen since extraction

[bold kernel]

yeah it just blackscreened

[blazing kestrel]

same

[vapid flume]

you probably got it all

[serene reef]

ifoh

the servers are FULLY down

your pmc will be reset

to the start of the raid

most likely

[somber summit]

Fml i guess. Sitting on a blacl screen with a scav that has merin in it....

[grand vapor]

bro

i was loaded on this raid

damn

[serene reef]

yeah you wasted the last 30min LOL

had the same before xmass

woods

500k prob

[final jacinth]

cannot establish server connect. Please try again later.
Error: 106015

[wraith bone]

ya mine says that to

[somber summit]

500k merin goes for a mil no?

[steel basin]

Anyone starting out that wanna group up?

[hushed wyvern]

yep, I do

[bold kernel]

sure, hmu when servers are up

[wraith bone]

valarant it is till its back up

@steel basin same here when they back up

[somber summit]

Do you just remain in black screen or alt f4 it?

[grand vapor]

^

[primal breach]

alt f4

you will get your stuff after servers are back

[serene reef]

what's merin

[wispy willow]

car trunk key that has high value loot spawns

[serene reef]

ohhh yeah that

[rose trellis]

do i need a key for the therapist water quest

[serene reef]

oh wow im jelly

206 dorms

[rose trellis]

:(

[vestal dock]

so do i pretty much just have to pray for the director tarcone key & dorm 206 for the Delivery quest / Water quest from Jackets / Scavs?

[lyric spear]

cant you buy the tarcone key?

[digital sable]

Therapist has barter trades for them

[lyric spear]

I dont remember

[digital sable]

or you can pray someone else opens the director’s office lol

(I just asked for help in #pvp-lfg and someone with the keys helped me out 🙂)

[hexed iron]

the worse settings u got the easier it is to see others form a distance

[wraith bone]

i just want servers to be up

hell ya i go to basic for the army in a couple weeks

[lapis matrix]

whats the best way to learn the maps? im struggling figuring out where i spawned and how to find extracts

[dusty tendon]

any idea on how long itlt ake for maps to be up

[vestal dock]

Ive started to just play offline w/ no bots and run around

[daring stag]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov I used these to find where everything is.

[serene reef]

i use reddit maps they're clearer to me

but the best way to learn them is try to bring them down to very simple structures

and then try to find landmarks

for example woods

[vapid flume]

I see servres are back

[serene reef]

there is the sniper rocks and the northern mountain

a lot of the time it's really hard to navigate

[ionic fractal]

beginner here lfg

[serene reef]

but you will more or less remember how places look

[serene reef]

#pvp-lfg

[[Woods]]

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Woods

[serene reef]

test ^

[quartz robin]

looking for help completing delivery from the past need key and help

[daring stag]

looks like servers are up agian

[serene reef]

also for woods specificall this is fun

https://eftmkg.com/woods-full-SpeedPriest.html

[burnt vortex]

Sfera helmet a good tier 3 helm?

[serene reef]

Tanky

is only t3

no headphones

[burnt vortex]

yeah no headphones which sucks

[serene reef]

i never use it but it

[burnt vortex]

it works is what youre saying

[serene reef]

can be useful for factory early wipe i guess

but then it is ONLY t3

[burnt vortex]

Sooft youre a chill one

[serene reef]

:O

[burnt vortex]

I like you

Youre really nice around these parts

[serene reef]

I mirror what i got here first when i was a noob :D

[burnt vortex]

time to go run around and find more trees

[serene reef]

But thank you sweetie < 3

[burnt vortex]

I'm like a proto-chad, but I like to stay with my Rat friends

so i call myself their sheepdog

[ebon briar]

can multiple players complete the 1st jaegar woods quest in 1 raid?

[burnt vortex]

I believe so

Ive done a similar mission where you need to grab docs and my veteran friend helped 3 of us do it at once

[steep cape]

yeah! the note is in there for everyone with the quest

[serene reef]

i feel like a cat herding kittens tbf 👌

but that's prob because my friend used to (last wipe) feel so safe with me he'd not even check if there are enemies around xD

"Feli probably already checked it anyway"

[burnt vortex]

Hey sooft do you know where tree is on Interchange? Its near that scav camp right?

[serene reef]

yeah

inside the coop extract

[burnt vortex]

Lmao thats a bad habit

[serene reef]

saw it on the map once few days ago xD

[burnt vortex]

i always check my corners

i even sometimes check my allies

with buckshot

[serene reef]

tbf i always scan everything

[burnt vortex]

It happens you know

[serene reef]

to a point i'll notice a moving object from

100 meters

[burnt vortex]

oh i got to deploy

[serene reef]

on woods xD

GOOD LUCK

!

[red spoke]

anyone else got logged out and keeps gettting an error?

[serene reef]

hamsters that keep the servers up had an allergy outbreak

they only number half probably? of what they were before

[agile thistle]

Has anyone ever not been able.to buy anything? Like the actual button that says buy/sell isn't there? I can sell but cannot buy, saying I don't have enough rubles and the button is missing

[serene reef]

so we having outages here 👌

[red spoke]

servers earing shit cause of the drops

[serene reef]

go back to main screen with escape and try again

if not reset game

[agile thistle]

Ok cool thought it was my game, been having GPU issue lately lol

[serene reef]

might just be the thing that servers are deadish

so see if there is a circle

in the right bottom

[woeful spruce]

make sure to press the fill items blue button at the bottom of the screen

[serene reef]

if it's there you're prob stuck on no connection

no response from the servers

or w/e

[agile thistle]

Oh wtf, I had to double click fill for it to pop up

[serene reef]

there's a thing somewhere there that makes it auto fill

[vapid flume]

servers go down and now I have to wait my scav timer without even using it 😦

[red spoke]

by the way get used to these servers cause apparently it will be like this until drops are finished ahaha#

[serene reef]

mood xD

[agile thistle]

I forgot about that, I had to reset my PC and my all my settings were lost, it's all coming back now lol

[strong barn]

anyone knwo if they fixed the docs case/secure containers/ items vanishing bug?

[pure mist]

I haven’t experienced that

So idk

[lusty glacier]

why does the price of everything drop by 10k as soon as i put it on flea

svd 20-round magazines for 38k, price drops to 28k

i put it up for 32k

price drops to 22k

come on nikit'er

[strong barn]

alrighty, ive seen numerous videos and posts about people losing gamma containers, alpha containers, keys from their stash etc; thanks for your input

[final veldt]

Question:
Since I ended up with 10k Roubles due to reasons
Lighthouse or Reserve?

[bold kernel]

Lighthouse loot is cracked

Makes me hard af

[round badge]

Proof?

[digital sable]

well if you're going PMC I'd go lowest risk possible and do Woods/Shoreline stashes

with Factory scav in between for quick loot to use on your stash runs

[final veldt]

Only issue is I have no clue where stashes are on either of those maps
I really suck at this game

[upbeat elk]

i would never suggest doing factory scav runs

like... why

[digital sable]

I do most every scav on Factory because its basically 0 combat, sprint and open boxes, leave in 4 minutes

easy money and get back to running PMC for progression

[upbeat elk]

And get like no loot

[digital sable]

Its actually pretty decent given how quick you queue in and finish the run

Reserve takes me 10+ minutes of queue time alone

[upbeat elk]

get some better servers lol

[final veldt]

I just need to not die and make some money

[gleaming cape]

Think i've been completely screwed by the drop system. i didn't know you have to go claim one before it fuckin counts towards the next drop

[upbeat elk]

Dont worry, u havent missed much

[burnt vortex]

i died to two player scavs

This hurts my soul

[nova sentinel]

how much bullet drop does this game have

when im sniping how much should i aim upward

[neat flicker]

So I’ve been watching some more gameplay (still haven’t managed to get in game lol), and honestly I’m confused by how you actually kill someone. Cause you’ve got health for different parts of the body. Chest armour that makes it harder to kill through chest shots. But limbs can still exist at 0 hp, so to kill someone do you need to bring every limb to 0?

[nova sentinel]

head or body to 0 and they die

[tepid mist]

damage the thorax or head while it's at 0

[neat flicker]

So going for legs or arms does nothing towards killing and just impedes movement?

[nova sentinel]

yes

[neat flicker]

I see

So there’s nothing. I have you can do against a target with a good helmet and chest armour

[burnt vortex]

going for legs does kill

So

[fast basin]

if you hit a limb with 0 it will cause collateral damage

[burnt vortex]

Head and Chest to 0 from damage is a kill
Limbs to 0 impairs. Any extra damage is taken out from the other body parts

until you die

[fast basin]

yes

[burnt vortex]

So I can blast your knee caps with 20 rounds of buckshot

you will die

This is known as Leg Meta

[fast basin]

yes

[burnt vortex]

I prefer buckshot to the face tho

[neat flicker]

Ah so the damage to limbs after 0 damages the rest, but bringing chest and head to 0 kills?

[burnt vortex]

Yes

[neat flicker]

That’s good to know

So it’s still most effective to aim for the chest and helmet and not the limbs

I’m just thinking about what to do if they have body armour, whether shooting the limbs would be better or not

[tepid mist]

depends on the weapon and ammo

[vagrant cargo]

yeah but sometimes u aint got a choice

if u cant pen shit and the guy is wearing like lvl 5 armor go for legs

[neat flicker]

Ammo is going to be a pain to figure out from what I’ve heard so far

[wraith bone]

i just want to unlock jeager but everytime i get close to getting out i get shot in the back from spine or somewhere random

[steep tulip]

wtf now theres que to enter the game

[neat flicker]

Tarkov in a nutshell by the sounds of it

[wispy stratus]

i just saw that its weird

[steep tulip]

im in place 5771

[wispy stratus]

im like 3500 in line

[steep tulip]

ima be here all day

[crystal oracle]

Im loving the new queue thing

[wispy stratus]

what is going on?

[wraith bone]

@neat flicker fr everytime

[neat flicker]

Is this what the servers are always like?

[steep tulip]

the que reduces the amount the players playing and also reduces the lag

they added the que because of the lag

[graceful hatch]

no servers arent always like this its the mf drop events and people who play this game 12hrs+ a day

[neat flicker]

Cause I’ve been waiting 3 days since I bought the game to play and haven’t had a chance yet

[graceful hatch]

people whining over the drops on twitch

[steep tulip]

ong bruh people be stream 31 hours of tarkov

[neat flicker]

I don’t mind waiting though

[graceful hatch]

theres a dude who already got the epilision case 3 days in wipe and was like yea i played everyday on 3- hrs sleep

[neat flicker]

What are the twitch drops?

[graceful hatch]

ass

[steep tulip]

its wtv man

[graceful hatch]

it is what it is

[neat flicker]

And how are they breaking servers?

[graceful hatch]

everybody is trying to play at once

to get thier drops

[neat flicker]

But don’t you get the drops through watching?

[graceful hatch]

and then when they get a common and its a water bottle they come here and complain

and yea

to get all the rewards for the day you have to watch 22hrs

[crystal oracle]

Its not 20 hours

now*

[graceful hatch]

o shit rly

[crystal oracle]

Yeah

[graceful hatch]

it was day 1 and 2

[crystal oracle]

Cos every reward is 3 hoursa

[graceful hatch]

i stopped lol idc

[prime sapphire]

Dont even worry about twitch drops they are awful currently and not worth even worry about.

[crystal oracle]

it goes 2

then 3 hours for each one

and legendary is only 20 hours

[graceful hatch]

youll get a nasty power bill if you do twitch drops lol

and sheeeeeeeesh still i mean 20 hrs

also is there specific times the airdrop happens

[neat flicker]

All I can do is watch streams lol

[pearl rune]

if i use key in offline raid will it use the key or will the uses stay the same

[lusty glacier]

will ai scavs at christmas tree shoot me?

[graceful hatch]

no

if you havent shot one yet

same with snata

santa*

[prime sapphire]

Nothing offline effects items anywhere but in that offline raid.

[vapid flume]

why does lighthouse run so terribly? Crashed my entire game and froze my pc for 30 seconds

[graceful hatch]

yall got any tips on mf pvp literally 90% of my deaths have been head eyes

my hipfire wont connect cqb but they pop a corner and instantly just im gone

[prime sapphire]

I would need to know more. And hipfire is stupid accurate in this game.

[graceful hatch]

not for me sadly

[smoky wing]

use laser

[graceful hatch]

but mainly like finding people

[smoky wing]

helps with cqb

[graceful hatch]

instead of me running factory non stop

and burning thru loot

[smoky wing]

why are u running factory?

[prime sapphire]

Factory is bad don't run it unless you need ro

[smoky wing]

in the first place

[pale prawn]

The WebSocket protocol is not supported on this platform.

I keep getting that when I try to play

[graceful hatch]

y not lol

[gleaming cape]

what do you sell to prapor for leveling him up? or what levels him up best?\

[smoky wing]

cuz factory is

[graceful hatch]

tryna practice that pvp

[smoky wing]

meatgrinder

it has nothing in common ith normal pvp

its just cqb meatgrinder with impact nades

[graceful hatch]

pain

[abstract ridge]

Hello, I have a question. How does one get the RB-ST key for quests? Is it not available on flea or traders? Do you just have to find it in raid?

[graceful hatch]

also my mosin is missing its front sight

tf

[prime sapphire]

No loot and the PVP there does not really translate to the rest of the map.

[mild notch]

my scav has only a knife

[fast basin]

people run factory for fun

but if your trying to get better at pvp i cant help since i suck aswell

[ancient tartan]

how do i play with people im new. do i just sit in the lfg channel and wait

[tepid mist]

factory has like one loot room

but you can get a lot of kill exp

[edgy sun]

Hello, i am new i have a question please, is it necessary to bring water and food for raid? i ask cause water costs 14k and i got thirsty really bad offline, was it because i run too much?

[tepid mist]

not really

raids dont last long enough to run out most of the time

[edgy sun]

Thank you very much

[tepid mist]

and you can often find something to eat during the raid

[prime sapphire]

Depends how long you stay in raids. I always have to eat and drink once in raids but I stay all the way through them.

[edgy sun]

I see, thank you guys much appreciated. I just noticed as well that when eating some specific items, it increases my thirst

[nova sentinel]

someone explain what is wipe

[neat flicker]

Can’t wait to sit through those juicy eating animations

[prime sapphire]

If you read them they will tell you how much energy they increase or decrease and how much hydration.

[tepid mist]

think of it like seasons in a competetive game

[abstract ridge]

Bump

[edgy sun]

Roger, thank you 🙂

[nova sentinel]

does it wipe all ur progress

[dire rock]

they wipe everyones inventory and skills

[nova sentinel]

and updates

ok nice ty

[neat flicker]

After many months everyone’s progress gets completely reset

[prime sapphire]

It wipes everything you are back to level 1

[nova sentinel]

that is good

[prime sapphire]

Like you just bought game

[nova sentinel]

is good so i wont get killed by some nerd with 2k hours and like a tank in their backpack

[graceful hatch]

they need to slow down wipe progresion like redo tasks or sumthin

[dire rock]

yea, since they are constantly adding new content they need to keep resetting people so they can test out how the game is going to work with it, just like the inertia and flea changes they did, when the full game comes out they will have one game mode that wipes and one that wont

[wispy stratus]

i need to do the same quest maybe we can help each other

[dire rock]

a lot of people no-life this game, yes you will

[smoky wing]

yup

[nova sentinel]

sad

[neat flicker]

You’ll probably still get wiped out by a 2k hour player right after a wipe

[quiet rock]

everyone in a queue ?

[dire rock]

just do the best you can, how long have you been playing?

[nova sentinel]

also how big is bullet drop in this game

[neat flicker]

Cause they’ll just be better off the bat

[nova sentinel]

couple hours

[smoky wing]

@nova sentinel quite realistic

look at bullet velocity

[nova sentinel]

completed a couple of scav runs

[prime sapphire]

This will happen any time throughout wipe. Even early wipe 2k hours will almost always clap new players.

[iron plover]

@wispy stratus @wraith bone I need that quest too

[smoky wing]

each bullet has diffrent velocity dus diffrent drop

[nova sentinel]

ty

[smoky wing]

some almost dont drop at all

[dire rock]

just a heads up it took me around 300ish to get a good grip on the game so get ready for a learning curve

[smoky wing]

some drop like a rock

[neat flicker]

Are there tracer rounds that help to visualise the drop?

[smoky wing]

yes

[nova sentinel]

thas cool

[smoky wing]

they usually have T in their name

or says so in description

[nova sentinel]

atleast i wont run out of things to do in this game

most of the time

[neat flicker]

I suppose I could play offline and test them out

[graceful hatch]

any1 wanna help wit the tree bs mf pmc have no chill for pvp

[dire rock]

i highly recommend the battle buddy app on your phone, it has every bullets stats as well as armor/weapons price check etc

[neat flicker]

That being said I haven’t even managed to get in game once yet

[smoky wing]

also u dont rly need tracers

to visual drop

most "best rounds" arent tracer

and u can always zero your gun

[graceful hatch]

if you can get sum mf acp rounds and a ump

[dire rock]

tracers are not the best choice mainly due to how easy they make you to spot

[graceful hatch]

acp rounds are absolutely cracked rn

[neat flicker]

It would only be to gauge the speed, in game I wouldn’t use them

[smoky wing]

didnt they add range finder ?

recently?

[graceful hatch]

they did

[smoky wing]

u can just range find

[graceful hatch]

9k from jeager

[smoky wing]

and zero your gun

done

[neat flicker]

After I used the tracers in Arma 3 to gauge speed and drop I was much better

[smoky wing]

then its just point and click

[graceful hatch]

i mean viable no cap

but range find you cant lose it goes in ur compass slot

[blazing kestrel]

is mp9 any good?

[smoky wing]

cuz wind and other thing does not affect trajectory in this game

[graceful hatch]

put a 4x

on it

lmao

[blazing kestrel]

xd

[smoky wing]

epic siege moment

[dire rock]

more of a fun gun than anything

[blazing kestrel]

ok tnx

[graceful hatch]

acp is on crack and herion rn tho fr

[smoky wing]

how are ACP rounds busted @graceful hatch ?

[graceful hatch]

bruh i got one tapped to the thorax twice with lvl 3 armor

[smoky wing]

kapp

[graceful hatch]

the ap rounds are just below being able to pierce lvl 4

no mf cap dawg

[smoky wing]

the best one

and they dont one tap

[graceful hatch]

i was

on dorms

[smoky wing]

they deal 70 damage - penetration penalty

[graceful hatch]

it was a single shot

[smoky wing]

the only chance for ACP AP to one tap you in thorax

is if they fragment

which is only 1% chance

[graceful hatch]

that prob happened then

[smoky wing]

i think what happend is

u got bursted

[graceful hatch]

i prob got super unlucky as with every other run i do

[gleaming cape]

was exposed maybe 3 seconds tops

[smoky wing]

and audio bug

made it so u only heared first shot

[graceful hatch]

it was a usp

[wispy stratus]

battle buddy is cool

[graceful hatch]

burst cap

[smoky wing]

usp can burst

[night pond]

can someone help me out?

[graceful hatch]

beuh what

[dire rock]

indeed

[gleaming cape]

Just died nearly instantly to the thorax when i had lvl 4 armor on. why should a scav be allowed to do that? and from a very far range in the dark at gas station while i was running away near cover. was exposed maybe 3 seconds tops

[dire rock]

sup?

[graceful hatch]

usp can burst?

[smoky wing]

OH USP

sorry

i meant UMP

[graceful hatch]

lol

[night pond]

wassup im still tryna learn

[graceful hatch]

happens

[smoky wing]

well , they u got fragmented

1% btw

[graceful hatch]

unfourtnate

lets add that to my head eyes kill count

[dire rock]

well i cant play with you however if you have any questions or want my advice on anything feel free to ask

[graceful hatch]

everytime i play woods im shot in the back

like i cant see mf

[smoky wing]

welcome to sniper paradise

[graceful hatch]

im going super slow

[wispy stratus]

woods is a sniper haven

[dire rock]

gotta develop your sixth sense

[night pond]

nvm im in a queue

[graceful hatch]

nah fuck the sixth sense

gimme 8

[olive oracle]

is there a queue to get in for anyone else?

[dire rock]

yea

[primal breach]

LMFAO

THERE IS A QUEUE?

GET CUCKED KIDS

[dire rock]

theyre doing some technical shit with the servers

[cold blade]

why is there a 29k player queue

[smoky wing]

yeah

servers were trash

last 2 days

i got kicked and crashed 30 ish time

s

for 8h of game time

[reef apex]

servers cant handle this many people.

[wispy stratus]

is the game that popular?

[cold blade]

the guy is so rich but cant buy better servers smh

[graceful hatch]

i got kicked 4 times on fact somehow didnt die

[smoky wing]

@cold blade chip shortage

worldwide

[reef apex]

honestly glad they put in a queue assuming it helps the servers.

[smoky wing]

FF 14 has same issue

they want to buy servers

but they arent avaible

[reef apex]

Its not that simple lmao

[graceful hatch]

dudes in lfg whining thier sex parts off for servers

[smoky wing]

pog

[graceful hatch]

''omg buy better servers''

asked my dad if this is how it worked and almost got hit

[random plaza]

This good for lvl 6?

[smoky wing]

as good as it can be

but i wouldnt use that sight

[burnt vortex]

Where is tree on Shoreline

[smoky wing]

its rly bad

[burnt vortex]

asking for a friend

which is me

im my own friend

[random plaza]

Wich one should i use

[prime sapphire]

Grip and laser added and you are good. Also that sight is fine but only if you use the T reticle for it.

[smoky wing]

axion cobra

from jager level 1

u can put shade on it

[random plaza]

kk

[smoky wing]

and u will get +1 ergo

🙂

[prime sapphire]

Check in game if you like it I hate axion fucking garbage sight lol

[smoky wing]

the walther is super "floaty "

[random plaza]

thxxx

[smoky wing]

it all comes down to preference

ofc

[gleaming cape]

Just died nearly instantly to the thorax when i had lvl 4 armor on. why should a scav be allowed to do that? and from a very far range in the dark at gas station while i was running away near cover. was exposed maybe 3 seconds tops

[prime sapphire]

Not so bad with T reticle the other ones are more floaty

[smoky wing]

T is also floaty

i mean best sight is prolly still Eotech

[prime sapphire]

Not as much as the others

[smoky wing]

they killed belermo

;/

it used to be perfect, now its floaty mess

[graceful hatch]

Eotech is rly the best sight no cap

[prime sapphire]

Now it's equivalent to the other sights

How dare they make it consistent

[smoky wing]

it used to be meta sight pretty much

no ergo penalty

and stabilised

[graceful hatch]

i wish irl our m4's got eotech

[reef apex]

300 in queue boys les go

[smoky wing]

it used to be 80k on market

[graceful hatch]

#endredotsupremcy

[smoky wing]

2 wipes ago

lol

[quiet rock]

8500 in queue

[smoky wing]

iam digging this new dovtail sight

called Oborez? or smth like that

[reef apex]

it took me like 5 mins to go from 7k to 300 so

It seems to go down 1k per minute roughly

[smoky wing]

thing is , holo sights dont float and shake as much irl

i know cuz i have few of them myself

unless every sight in tarkov is knock off

[terse veldt]

is the queue thing normal and if not is it about to become the norm???

not tryna be that guy but i did not pay 100s to be put in a queue... lovely game tho

[digital sable]

Hmm so Kobra best level 1 trader red dot prob?

[prime sapphire]

Wellll they don't look floaty when standing still and shooting like you would in real life. If you are moving and your gun is swinging around it is just as bad. Though Tarkov has zoom on the sights which hightens the issue it's not actually being veiwed form you head but far closer to the sight.

[digital sable]

they're all so blurry

[smoky wing]

for me ? yes

kobra isnt as blurry

and it gives u ergo

[digital sable]

the dot is bigger than the targets head lol

[reef apex]

I think they will put a queue on when servers get hit hard. Im sure they will turn it off once drops are done. a queue isn't normal

[smoky wing]

instead of taking it

[digital sable]

I'll give it a go

[graceful hatch]

best things to sell to skier im lvl 16 but im only 216k in

[reef apex]

@terse veldt they have had a lot of issues with servers lately due to a huge influx of players due to sales and other stuff.

[smoky wing]

remember to by shade @digital sable

[prime sapphire]

Drops are fucking stupid anyways need to be abolished or reworked

[smoky wing]

from prapor

its 100 roubles

+3 ergo

[digital sable]

noice

[smoky wing]

yeah drops are stupid

[prime sapphire]

+3 ergo but looks worse

[smoky wing]

i spawned as scav

[still hamlet]

what the fuck?!

[smoky wing]

next to drop

[terse veldt]

drops r honestly more of hassle than they are rewarding... not an experience a new playerr would want to experience. wait 10hrs to get a shovel and also greeted with serverr drops

[digital sable]

can you still buy Elcans on the flea?

[pure mist]

lmao yeah

[cold blade]

queue is gone

[still hamlet]

so I paid the most expensive version of the game and I wait 1h to get in? are you serious? xD

[graceful hatch]

dam yall impatient mfs

[pure mist]

they need new servers lmao

[still hamlet]

yes... 1h patience wtf

[terse veldt]

yea my quque just dropped too back in the game

[smoky wing]

@still hamlet u paid 100 bucks for beta

[peak ravine]

as a beginner should I be bringing some kind of backpack or just try to kill a player/scav that could give me one?

[smoky wing]

get used to it

[graceful hatch]

cant help servers get overloaded

[empty ore]

Anyone wanna run some duos on customs or woods

[prime sapphire]

How much you paid doesn't matter you are equal to everyone else entitled f*** :3

[graceful hatch]

for a big ass twitch event

[empty ore]

i got a few tasks to do

[prime sapphire]

Pay big bills for beta game win stupid prizes

[smoky wing]

^

[digital sable]

you should have no shortage of backpacks after a bit. I'd always try to bring one if possible.

[reef apex]

I agree, after the first day I decided not to. the fact that it takes 22 hours to get all the rewards. just not worth.

[still hamlet]

lul ^ these guys

[prime sapphire]

(I am a proud owner of EOD for the record)

[smoky wing]

same

[graceful hatch]

facts

[terse veldt]

EOD should get queue priority if this becomes normal that would be a cool perk but i feel like this wont b norrmal

[smoky wing]

eod since 2018 ish

still feel like i wasted money

sadge

[prime sapphire]

Que is not normal

[smoky wing]

why should EOD get priority ?

[graceful hatch]

i bought two days ago from standard

[smoky wing]

its not a Minecraft server

[terse veldt]

i see

[graceful hatch]

lmao

[agile thistle]

Man wtf, since when has there been a Queue to launch the bloody game?

[graceful hatch]

[peak ravine]

yeah I noticed that I can do that ingame too, will I be running slower if i do that?

[burnt vortex]

so i feel like

im in the top ledt side of the map

[smoky wing]

@peak ravine number of items doesnt matter

[smoky wing]

additional weight does

[graceful hatch]

we should abolish the sling bp

[digital sable]

it will add weight like any other carried loot

[peak ravine]

wdym?

[smoky wing]

in your inventory

only look at weight

[peak ravine]

ohhhh

[smoky wing]

if u stack backpack into backpack

it wont slow u down unless u go overweight

[peak ravine]

I get it

thanks for the help

[prime sapphire]

Lmfaoooooo

[digital sable]

For reference I've run at least a scav pack sized backpack all wipe and haven't bought one yet

[burnt vortex]

extra angle

Im so scared

[smoky wing]

[burnt vortex]

someone is jumping

[smoky wing]

[prime sapphire]

I run transformer bag usually

[smoky wing]

[peak ravine]

you shoot people and then play tetris when you loot

[bold kernel]

Don't forget to yell slurs in VOIP

[chrome ferry]

Should I save up for the single eye NVGs? I want to complete more night raids but the scavs keep spotting me when I can’t see them at long ranges

[smoky wing]

those are trash

but sure u might wanna try them

[narrow gull]

any nvg is better than no nvg but if you have skier ll2 i'd suggest pnv-10 instead

[chrome ferry]

In what way are they bad? Don’t think I’ve ever seen gameplay of the monocular ones

[smoky wing]

use NV scope for AK

like a true chad

and just play woods on 4x zom

zoom

@chrome ferry huge tunnel vision

[graceful hatch]

bruh some ppl give a less fuck abt scav karma

[chrome ferry]

Ah right

[graceful hatch]

some scav is camping the tree on woods

[smoky wing]

[chrome ferry]

Oh I get you now

That’s not very good

[graceful hatch]

the one eye is dog ass

[smoky wing]
