Same ammo for both guns, just depends if you hit your shots or not. I guess yeah I would recommend building a vpo to a new player, I just wouldn’t build one for myself
I was speaking in general but thanks for the offer. I sort of survive. 1/3 for PMC 🙂
I think VPO even has marginally less recoil too
I also made about half a million. So not so bad on money.
can’t remember though
Vpo and sks have very similar recoil
You should try to work up to 1.1 million and buy a scav junkbox. That will let you save FIR quest items in advance
Stock up on them before you even get the quest
OP-SKS is better fit for at range early on but generally yes I agree
SKS is only preferably in my opinion if you want to put a 4x on it
sniping with a stock SKS is pretty rad early wipe
Iron sights
will do
Iron sight are mid
Is there a 4x scope for sks at lvl 1 traders that I missed?
Pso on jager I believe
how did this guy not die?
He’s at 8 hp
Dovetail mounted PSOs can go straight onto an OP-SKS
mans got 8hp left
bruh
I was running dovetail kobra before but I honestly think it’s worse than iron sights personally
had a killa mask
unless he healed
Opk7
all happened in a few seconds
On most guns, yeah… the Okp7 is the one of the best reflex in the game
He probably died shortly after you
lmao rough
Sadly can’t buy it yet
damn
Kobra is nice early game because all your options suck as much or more, but you can add a sight shade for some free +ergo rather than -ergo from other sights
You can try jaegers L1 dovetail reflex, I liked it when I used it
Kobra with shade is still -1
I really like sks iron sights for ranged stuff, find it much easier to see exactly where I’m aiming at
Ooh I thought it was +1… comparatively +ergo I guess 🙂
I’ll check it out
Though if you’re ballin on a budget iron sights are probably about as good as some of those blurry red dots
Bruh, I just went to list a KIBA outer arms key on the flea for 650k, game gave me an error message and now the key is gone lmao
no money in the mail
rough
Hahaha rip
oh shit money just showed up and it wasn't in my offers either
god bless you shitty server gods
Yea that’s my problem with them, I don’t like the blur
Should’ve just given it to me

So since I’m new should I take the time to learn loot spawn locations from the map? Or should I just play and figure it out myself
At the very least iron sights are crisp haha
Yeah lol
Now that I have the flea, I keep splurging for nice multi zoom sights. As long as I’ve got good ammo and a sight that isn’t hurting my aim, I can kill someone
All my messages are wiped?
It’s up to you, I would recommend learning about quest locations rather than loot to start. Looting on your way to quest locations is better
What happend?
Learning the maps is going to take ages
I haven’t even mastered all the extraction points yet
Only took me about a day to learn all extracts on each map
You know why?
I know most pmc extractions, but not scav’s yet
Hmmm
I remember starting out and having no idea how to find loot. It’s a lot better once you know the spots and can be filling up your bag as move around the maps for quests
Focus on learning customs, it’s got a nice stash run (just search customs stash run on YT) to make money and a lot of early game quests are done there
And I spend a lot of my time in buildings with nothing I
Mess around offline, helps a lot. I was able to learn the maps pretty quick this way
yea speaking of which I still don't know how and where to find good loot
Yeah I might just dive in head first without looking up loot spots and just learn as I go
how much does a junk box cost
I never did offline raids I just took it all in the ass
~1.1 million
Same no pain no gain
Learning stashes can be very nice since they’re usually pretty safe. You don’t really need to learn the good spots that much since the loot is just kinda everywhere in most places
And for a more intermediate bit of advice, looking at the spawns on the map for customs, if I spawn by the big red building in the car park, is it best to head to the container village and clear that? Is that what you should do at the start?
I remember learning about an extra room in Crackhouse that has several good med spawns and feeling dumb for not looting it for so long
I just searched everywhere
i have 2 is it worth buying another one
Everything
Hell no
right i'm bouta start my first raid, scav though, wish me luck
Also playing my first wipe without realizing you can loot all 4 drawers of the filing cabinets
I never have more than one
Nah there’s hardly anything there, I always push to the east
but i dont have space anymore for barter items
I never was that bad fortunately
Sell shit
dont know what i should keep and what not
It’s up to you, I have two and it’s enough. If you want another one go for it, it’s just more time you can spend in raid rather than selling items
Google a hideout guide and see if you’d be interested
There are like 15 websites for that
What the average survival rate for new players?
Otherwise sell whatever else
When I spawn big Red side, my main goal is to just get out of there lol
So I don’t feel too bad about myself
Low as shit I’d imagine, especially without help
Yeah I’m not hoping to do well
Like legitimately if you’re going in raw I’d say <10%
It’ll take a long time to learn
Solo? Less than 10 lol
Without knowledge of at least treating the injuries
As long as you aren’t too broke to bring a gun as a PMC and are progressing quests you’re doing well
They must go a long time without loot then
I’d really recommend squading up with someone who knows the game
Oh dang I don’t think I accepted my quests
Justs do a ton of offline runs with scavs enabled to learn the map, and practice firefights and healing
Loot is temporary, but no one can take your quest progress
I’ve done lots of offline and just ran from spawn to one of the extractions
It’s the rest of the map I’m clueless about
Just wait until you’re buying 6 scav vests to do quests
Every item has a wiki page and tells you what to keep.
I like to have one junkbox for all the stuff I’m keeping and another for the “to be sold / unsure” items
Learn some landmarks
And watch pestily, other you tubers who show you good spawns
But I’ll just brute force my way through, do what I can and understand it’ll be like 100 hours before I know what the heck is happening
pull up the map on google and just spend the whole raid exploring an area. dont have to extract, doesnt matter when offline dont lose anything
Pestily I don’t recommend much for PVP but he’s not bad at PVP
Only 100 :0
100 for customs lolol
Why is this grey
Pestily impresses me every time I watch him pvp, he makes it look so effortless
fortress
10k + hours on pestily for sure
its one of the break away diagrams at the bottom. 2 stories w the basement
Some things money can’t buy
are you not supposed to shoot scavs rotating around the christmas tree
God i hate this game sometimes
Player scav shoots at you, you shoot back, player scav doesnt hit a shot while you blow his brains out, Your rep goes down for defending yourself because you registered a hit first
AI Scavs begins to shoot you
sooo- i just downloaded the game and did a scav and an offline raid. i'm pretty doped about everything although i have a lil bit problem. idk how to learn maps. Like i use online map but i don't even know where i am so it does no good. should i stick with offline raid for days to learn a map properly? and what is the low risk map that i can make money? i don't wanna waste my time for high risk map to only being have to learn another one
Shoot them on pmc
No maps are low risk, its hot spots in each map
run offlines and learn maps that way
Do not shoot scavs as a scav though
too late let them live
crank AI Scavs up too
I killed a duo as a solo though that felt good
Ooh good shit Dude!
customs is the quickest to learn probably.. or interchange. all exists are self explanatory .. but yeah all maps have hotspots really.
I'm constantly running solo and getting rekt today, so irritating today
What gun did you use?
didnt mean to reply to that
is the wiki up to date with gunsmith 4?
ohhhh. I wondered why there was a big building with seemingly nothing in it
the one and only, VPO-136 lol
i learned customs and woods solo, was quite interesting
always is.
What happens if I remove my offer from flea market? Do I lose the money that I spent as a fee listing the offer?
yeah woods is pretty simple. seeing how that outskirts and bridge is only option playing solo.. eeither all north or south lol
just bring water 😏
Yep, i've learnt to always keep money on my for bridge ex
I got a water filter, I should probably save it for future
how does this thing work
what do earpieces benefit
just used to organize stash
is this the auto version of VPO-136?
a free inventory to help you sort your stash, use shift and left click to quickly add items to it and control left click to take them out
can i change firing mode in stash?
I really like the sight on it. Got it from someone
it fits an infinite amount of items also
No it need to be in raid
so it's just more storage? What's it got to do with sorting then?
its not storage, its temporary storage. You can like put all your bags in there to deal with them and then add them back into your stash when your ready
as soon as you leave the stash or close that tab all the items are transfered back into your inventory
Whats a good scope for pnv-10t?
just click the auto sort buttom for that
its only one pair of goggles for that ?
second raid, i am still completely clueless. first on was a scav raid and i just entered one building and left
Wdym?
have you talked to all the traders already?
make sure you get your starter tasks from prapor and therapist
hey guys, for a nice loadout what should I get for helmet/chest/rig/backpack? class 4
yeah i jsut did that
what is the exchange rate from rubles to us dollar
MMAC rig pretty good
What?
do you have ragman T3? he barters for a ton of nice rigs
generally for a backpack, get a scav backpack, berkut
Nop dont have ragman T3, but got nice money, any good helmets (+ visors or something) and chest/rig from flea class 4?
I dont know all the names yet
can i craft a gas an and turn it in for sanitary standards
yes
yes
aight thx
at the tree and the workbench
of course enemies m856a1 goes straight through my class 4 helmet at 50 meters but my 856a1 bounced 4 times in a row the other day at 5 meters
Ya “””balancing””” lol
i blasted him with at least 6 7.62 BP rounds too
and i got 0 hit count
in the end screen
well, one cuz i tapped his friend
but 0 on him
its pretty easy to get m856a1 rn
Hey guys. How do I play offline? I am like 48Kth in the Queue, but I only play offline. Do I have to wait to even play offline???
like scavs have it in adars rn
like 1 out of 10
bad news bud you have to get online before you can get offline
Yeah I know, ive been buying out traders I’m at like half an ammo case
i jsut sold my 600 rounds after those 4 bounces the other day
u cant until u get in
:nikitad:
Yup
dont all bullets bounce
im gonna use 5.56 again ONLY after i can get 55a1 from traders
:( should have dropped them to me lol
Oh mate. I feel doubly bad now, for all the folks that like to play online, I am stealing a place
depends on the helmet
but 856a1 always fucks me over
ok but it doesnt depend on the ammo
not even jsut yesterday
??
depends on the map
Yeah last wipe I wouldn’t even touch it but I think/hope things have changed this wipe haha
it does depends on ammo
also 855a1 has exactly the same ricochet chance as 56a1
i can help u do that if u want
well surely not for me xD
find selewas
Didn’t they nerf 55a1 at the end of last wipe as well?
but i dont have 50% to pen class 4, instead i have 100
or close to 100
they buffed it
then you gotta message the tipzay guy, he's asking
sure
but you werent talking about armor penetration, you were talking about helmet ricochet
Customs has a bunch of spawns that’s where I got all of mine.
Customs has good intel spawns
well if the helmet just absorbs the round and protects the wearer id call it a rickoshet
its a steel helmet
oh class 4 helmet
there is also complete bullet stop, it sounds different to ricochet no?
this guy does know for sure
ulach my beloved
look at these 2 bullet rickoshets in his forehead
lol
A stop makes a huge thud while a bounce makes a ping
that's why i use 55a1
if you aimed a little lower....you would have gotten the damn mask, and killed him
tan ulach is cracked btw, i tanked 2 svd ps shots with it
yeah thats why im only going to use a 5.56 gun agian after i can get 55a1 from traders
Ps is mid
i just use 56a1 and shoot balls
?
I think I got another toast scav right?
the next raid a ratnik bounced one too and the dude killed me with a vpo sniper at point blank range. Thats when i deleted all of it lol
nade them
all of 856a1
ALT + F4 a this point?
Yeah that’s what I do after I hit the 10 minute mark
sadge
just got 6 scav kills in one game, but died cause of no meds
Sometimes you get heavy bleeded like 7 times and you just can’t fix it so it’s just a race to extract or to find meds
I’ve gotten a heavy bleed on every limb at the same time
Magnum buckshot last wipe was nuts
I died from lack of meds
It is genuinely going to take me so long to understand this game
If you are a gun nut it’s pretty fast to learn
If you’re not then it takes while
Nerds excel in this game
It's a combination of fps and tetris
Indeed
It’s a process but it’s fun
By fun do you mean 20% fun 50%regret and 160% pain?
Ascended chad
Also as a noob I was a factory main great way to get good fast also a great way to be poor
I matured
Now I am always poor
But I’m a chad
On a budget
So this is my go to weapon now. I unlocked weapon modding. How do I use presets to buy this weapon already modded:
Save the preset
Do you just hit find parts?
Name it something top left
Yes
Then save
I guess you still need to manually assemble it once you buy the parts
No just hit assemble
where do i got to find people to play with
purchase all is bad here, right? cause I need the base gun, bastion and the kobra. But this shows individual attachments as well
as I took that screenshot kobra got greyed out. I guess stock is over?
Level 6 woo i guess
It may mean you have one or it is sold out
got it. thanks.
what do i do with golden rooster and horse?
sell
where to find scavs in woods?
If you're planning on getting to level 62, and want Kappa, you can hold the rooster
but for most people not gonna happen
hold deez nuts
gottm
whats the best meds to take with you on raids?
But sell it to therapist if you're not keeping it
yeah i sold both
Use half of grizzly instead of after raid healing (for roubels) and then use other half in raid, you get enough and very cheap.
Other than that i run selewa, hemostat, alu splint and ifak or afak in secure container.
For painkillers i use ibuprofen? (15use) and cms for healing black out limbs and stomach.
Also if you have teamates grizzly is very useful because sometines my teamates dont bring enough meds
Have a few questions I am hoping someone can help me with. When I do a Scav raid, will there be PMC players in the same raid? When I do a Scav raid, my objective should be to loot as much as possible and get out? Should I be / will I be fighting other AI Scavs, Player Scavs or possible PMC players?
yes yes dont shoot scavs as scavs but do shoot pmcs
When you scav you get in late wipe where most pmc died or extracted, there still might be some but not nearly as much

Before you scav
I have too much stuff in my inventory I'm a damn hoarder lmfao
Eod or standard?
trick to scaving: shoot every other scav in the leg and run off before they can shoot your or kill you. They can't chase you down because their leg is broken and they likely don't have a splint. You don't lose karma for this except in God's eyes
I have standard and i have all my top empty to quickly sell my scav loot
Thats... savage
someone did it to me
It's mostly stuff for hideout and end game hideout upgrades 
But you have to apply bleed
sell everything
you going for kappa?
want to
Sell gun powder, broken lcds, helix, tnt, tubes, ssd...
even tho i started late
most people wont be able to

For kappa you need:
- no life
- knowlege and skill
or teamates to carry
I just go for epsilion as my (poor ass kappa)
If you have eod tou should strongly consider if kappa is worth it
someone wanna screen share and tell me the junk to sell lol
how does scav loot transfer works, i clicked yes when the game asked me if i wanted to transfer loot and now i can't find my loot (it was my first extraction)
..
First you have to move loot to your stash
Then press next
I think you may have not transferred it to your stash my friend
You cant auto transfer, still ctr-clicking is very fast
check you hideout with what you can upgrade if you dont need it then sell it, other then that.. if you want rubbles sell everyything
if you press "Next" on your screen at the transfer stage without moving things over it'll give you a "Are you sure you want to continue, you will not be able to return to this screen" or something like that
which usually means you have stuff left on your "Scav" body
selling this all to therapist is like 2 mil+ lmfao
@echo steppe
except for the ornaments and intelligence
i couldn't interact with loot. my stash loaded and then it asked me if i wanted to transfer my items so i said yes. nothing happened scav inventory disappered
you have to drag your scav loot into your hideout
You have to move it always, you probably read wrong
Based
losing your first ever extraction loot is cringe af bro...
If I accidentally shoot a scav does my karma go down
mhm
Hey Guys i just started yesterday and lost a bunch. i could really use a guide for a round or two
If you killed him
I didn’t kill him
then no\
Then you are fine
Nice
but your aggrod lol
anyone have one (1) purple ornament
alright im so confused. I was walking around doing my thing as a scav, saw a guy and i didnt think he was a scav and im still not sure if he was. Probably put 15+ shotgun rounds in his face and gave up shooting him for like 10 seconds. he continued to spray me, im assuming its lag, were invincible to each other or something, and im so lost what this interaction was. So I checked my health and literally everything was about 0. So me, confused, just shoots this guy in the face one more time and he collapses and has a fuck ton of shit on him. im 10 minutes away from a fucking extract and cant run. Why was this interaction so odd? does it just take that many bullets??
how do i get bigger pouch
completing questlines
buy higher versions....finish all missions, finish missions
money
like punisher
buy game or quest
and you get an toption to buy a bigger one
Do people just have an absurd amount of health in this game sometimes?
It was an actual player I think though
possible you have bad ammuo but that really just sounds like desync
Because they had some sort of ak and sprayed multiple mags into me
and i was 0 on most of my things in health
just felt very odd lmao
wat if only 99 money
out of luck
sad
lmfao
btw these settings will help all you brand new people.. like 10people i helped had no idea how to actually turn on the UI
Guys what's your go to helmet/rig/chest/backpack from flea market class 4?
Was the flea market always unlocked at 15? I feel like Its taking forever
was 20
it was 10 2 wipes ago
whats like the first quest i should do
jaeger thing
Any of them tbh but probably jaeger
oh alright
Aside from killing and quests what do I'm 12? Do I not search enough lol. I just finished skiers exhibitionist quest and sanitary dorms quest
nice frozen in menu back to queue I go
are you spending a lot of your time doing scav runs? cause the xp from those runs dont transfer to your actual level
keep the rolers and stuff for scav case
i cannot figure out how to win a single raid
try offline mode, AI is also dangerous so it will still be a challenge to extract
do i lose my gear in offline mode
no, you don't loose nothing but you also can't bring nothing from the raid, you can still loot though
but it will be for nothing...so bring your best gear and go ham and shoot all your bullets
Yes I do a lot of scav runs, I try and do it as they come up cause I'm scared of going poor but on top of that I have an amd gpu and have been struggling with fps dips which affects my confidence
or simulate ur real loadout and learn extraction points with a map (if u have second monitor)
But it's rare I get a pmc where I obtain over 2000 exp not including a task
where can i find ppl to play with? im new to the game so yeah
Hey, I am pretty new at tarkov I keep dieing I really don't know what to do, I tried looking up a guide for custom map and tried to atleast learn that and stuff and I still cant get a extraction point and find one. Maybe someone can help me out or something IF i have to pay to learn the game I will.
anyone got the RB-ST key and would let me borrow it/swing with me for a raid?
well again, scav run exp doesnt count towards your real level, so doing a lot of those instead of pmc is holding you back, if you're really low on money you can do just one scav run, then put that gear on your pmc and try a run like that, also as pmc try to play slow, when i first started i would sprint all over the map and it would get me killed instantly, try to just walk unless youre getting fired at and need to get to cover fast.
you can go in "offline mode" and dont turn on the PvE and youll have a full timed raid with no enemies so you can explore the map and see where the extracts are
pmc anxiety level 📈 📈
can someone help me do the shortage quest
the only map i know by heart is lighthouse and my luck is terrible
Find a duo or uninstall trust me, do not join a randoms inv either, you will get insta TK'd happened to me 4 times
Damn, I didn't think about that
what is the best ammo a newb lvl 14 can use for the ak74 n
is 45 fmj good ?
any bullet is good if you shoot em
(I've not a clue about this game its still downloading dont take my word lmao)
how much labs keycard worth
400k
just did scav run and found out i spawnd wit it
MMAC, 6b3tm, berkut bag, ssh-68 helmet
or the 6b47 ratnik
I found this optic:
Can it actually zoom?
meh at the very best
no
It says reflex, I guess not.
It looks better than kobra though.
I really liked it
My stash is already full. What do I do aside from sell?
I also have backpacks filled to the brim
not much you can do, space issues are a constant, i doubt you have the capability to buy cases yet so just do the best you can with organizing and seel what you dont need
just gotta work with the space you.. what version of the game you got?
you can stack small stuff into csa rigs for a bit extra space
yeah.
otherwise just don't hoard, keep only the guns you're going to use next raid
same for armour, backpacks, etc
read the description of the higher plans
Standard is perfectly fine
nah, pleb edition is shit in terms of stash
but it's my shit
its manageable to a extent yeah. just cant have geear fear and staking things forever.
Not possible to be a hoarder on standard is the only thing
Dumb question - do I need to worry about height over bore when using optics?
Not a dumb question, yes
Especially when using the fine adjust for crouching
And on an incline
Prone as well
bt or bp?
BT is better if 5.45
5.45x39
Exactly. Keep quest stuff and stuff to sell on flea market, invest in boxes and hideout, keep only the gear you are going to use over the next couple of raids. Sell all the rest, dont hoard it in the stash like a goddamn goblin just to never bring it out again
Guess I’ll have to just sell off stuff, even though I thought I’d need all of this
Who’s the dude with the “no gay (n word)” profile pic, I really want it
And boom, standard becomes okay
75k is usually profit
moonshine is usually used for streamer items for the collector but can be big win or big loss
intel is for keys, similarly can be wion or lose


If anyone wants to help an old guy out ... Foque in the game ... heading to Woods but looking for people to run together ... scav or PMC
How many daily quest can I get at the same time, cuz one of my friends has just got like 30 at the same time ?
it got changed ig, still 95k should be profit most of the time
Ey there is a you gif lol
If you can't find anyone you should also try #pvp-lfg
Once you get the scav junkbox life can be a bit easier. Don't forget to claim your Xmas gift too, there's an ammo case in there
Thank you.
How do I do that? Does it work for new accounts?
hi does anyone know why i cant play eft i played like 1 year ago but when i start my game i cant put my starter stuff in my inventory it just loads and loads
Yes, I would make sure you have 200k roubles left over though
more like 500+k
i officially fucking shoreline
That's good, I would buy it comfortably
how long do i have to wait on these queues?
my 50k one went by in around 20~ mins
oh alright
@vast hornetI bought it as soon as I could. Had 8k roubles left over after buying it
Friendly advise. Remember to change ur "fast reload bind"
Asap
It improves your game
anyone trying to help me get some quests done? I have only done a few of them
Another friendly advise.
Double barrel and ppsh never jams
So even if u see a completely wrekt ppsh in your stash its worth to use it
The link is not "clickable"
Perhaps you want to check with @unique sigil ? He's starting out and looking for a group as well
@low olive eu or na?
It is Foque
na
na here
HOW do i become RICH
Well if u are up tomorrow i will help ya
@vagrant cargo unlock flea market. Loot good stuff
sounds good
i unlocked flea market, still poor
im pOOr
Im pretty clueless as to what to do other than getting money from scav runs, im down to party up though
i dont have many roubles
I sit at around 10 mln rn
hideout will make you poor
only map I know ish is interchange and thats just the outskirts
🙁
U just have to loot good shit
mf femboy flexin on me
yeah but when i go towards good shit i get shot at a lot
Pick the best value per slot
If anyone wants to go to Woods .. trying to finish the task where I go to the camp and the convoy
thats the big issue
Aka dont pick up 4 slot item that is worth 20k
Just keep getting killed before extract
as a stupid solo against smart squads im not doing good
actually im pretty decent at picking up the correct shit
Interchange as a scav
I hate woods I did the mission with a few of my buddies though
oooo shittttt
@vagrant cargo 3 stores
when i go interchange i get fucked up bad
I am level 14 ... just need to level up before it starts to get easier with the flea market
@vagrant cargo depends.
Imma run in those stores as a scav rn lmao
ive unironically never not seen someone there
Im still at level 10 lmao
@vagrant cargo pick ur loot accordingly to your spawn on interchange
If u spawn next to tech stores. Rush them
but the m1a user will shoot me
There are 2 gpu spawns not many people know about
1 is in power station
And one is offices in idea , storage room
And ofc in pc cases
Broken g phone X was 100k today
damn
Hdd is 17k
Etc.
If u spawn far away without being able to reach good shit inside the mall
Just do stash run instead
Or wait for plane drops
Example scav plane drop
@vagrant cargo maybe? But interchange stashes are great
Especially when u spawn in bad place
Aka back of goshan or shit like this
U can always do stashes and either extract if u got something good or go i side cuz most pmcs are either dead or out
should i wait for flea market to sell my labs card or just sell it to traders
save it
@dark sinew labs keycard are banned from flea
you need it FIR for quest
oh
Either use or vendor or wait for quest
you need 2 for hunting palce
so keep it
Keycards are easy to come by tbh
Especially when u do jager quest to kill bosses
U will have 6 or 8 cards by the time u are done
whens the last day of the christmas tree?
I'
I've ran at least 10 woods raids, and I've not seen shturman in one of them.
Does he always spawn right away? I assume it was instant on raid start
just got server connection lost while looking at an AESA
@unkempt talon pretty much testing grounds
oh alright
tarkov client stability is non existent
U can play offline and nothing will save
is this because its my first time playing or something?
can anyone help with explaining the fence reputation? i have -1.11 which is bad and im not sure how to improve it, especially with me needing it to be 6.00 for the next level
You don't only have to do it, the warning is always there
As long as you don't have it checked
You're good to go
0.25 rep per one
as a noob player better not go to labs right? and just sell this to trader?
But it decreases 50%
how do i differentiate quest items from items to venodr at the beginning?
Each time u do it
oh right
Each map has seperate count
is there anything else i can do
or not do
Recommend stashing them to use later
should i not kill scavs EVER as a scav
Also extract with pmc or extract yourself
what button is it to open doors and interact with objects
DON'T kill santa
f
@bold kernel pretty much. Unless they are rogue
@dawn geyser or run away
He will drop you an entire point
whats the best scav case option
If you can even run away sure xD
@dawn geyser one time i bonked santa who was in the middle of the woods
Next to jager camp
He survived so i started running
Moonshine or Intel. They always give items about the same value sometimes some really good shit. Got the Dorms marked room today
no difference btwn the 2?
ok
It was 2 wipes ago. Things might have changed
Moonshine
lmao what in the emoji
should i restart or something
You got a chuckle out of me.
lol
ok i restarted and im getting queue so i prolly died
amazing how shit and unstable this whole game is
between the servers and the client
both suck
you should go try fortnite
and i lost an AESA lol
you stupid or something ?
the servers are shit thats just a fact
they could 100% do something about the servers
or at least they couldve for the long time ppl have been saying the servers suck
i did bunker part 1 but didnt recieve part 2 any ideas? the wiki says that it comes after part 1 im lvl 10
how do i extract
its an incredibly popular game, there will be server issues until the game dies, deal with it
there shouldnt be
walk up to an extract point and stand near it
but i assume you dont know where they are
not necessarily
wait what
there are usually extracts near green flares but not always
how do i know the difference
what map are you on?
woods
omg
Lighthouse was scary, it was my first time on there
that map only has one constant extract
Took me a minute to realise north is left on the map, too
"Outskirts"
alright
use that map
i mean like cant i just leave the game?
I don't think outskirts is a guarantee, is it?
it is
If you spawn close?
no
not always actually
u get outskirts unless u spawn west side
well how am i supposed to know where i am
Is there anything a wipe doesnt get rid of
no
Use roads, mountains, and power lines to figure out based on the map, Porky
hours actually
With more experience you'll be able to find where you are pretty quick
If you're near buildings that'll help too of course
are there any noteworthy monuments nearby?
So then almost no point upgrading the game except for fast big stash and starting gear
And the gamma
essentially
So basically, huge point upgrading
is a gate that had "evac" spray painted on it a noteworthy monument?
Gamma is insanely more powerful than alpha
also a gamma case and the trader rep you get
Yes
the trader rep is the biggest thing eod gives you
double tap O first
Depends on how you play, Asura, but generally would say it's like second most
bridge v ex outskirts
Oh ok
Gamma being most
zb and factory?
only if your on your first wipe
Then kinda a tossup with rep or stash
second wipe onwards gamma is meh, most people can survive w an alpha
go around the big lake to the other side and look for a truck in the middle of a road
the trader rep remains a constant advantage every wipe
how big of a truck?
makes levelling jaeger far easier as well
pick up
I used to be able to put mags in a pouch but now it says incompatible
yeah the updated it
thats outskirts
this may sound stupid but all i know is that there is like a nuclear power plant in front of me
Made me salty, I died with a 60 round mag I needed for a quest :p
Hmmmmm
Any chance you could stream in a voice chat real quick Porky, or show a picture?
you're in the bottom right section of the map though
i mean like i found one spot with a green flare
if it's the 5.45 ones, you can craft them
look at the map, youre at "Factory Gate", you need to go to outskirts, which is way to the west of where youre standing
I'm aware, I don't have that infrastructure yet, and will likely have the flea before that
wait there are more than 2 christmas quests?
Yes
oh
How rare are 100 round mags
what does the flea have to do w it
I found one but got oofed
yeah you need to do the tree task to unlock most of the rest
double tap O again and tell me how much time you have left
when does this event end?
16 minutes
heard it was today
i dont think theyre fleaable anymore so i doubt it sells for much'
ok you can make it
i mean i found the lake
good
Ok what am I supposed to do as a scav? My time is spent trying to figure out where I am, figure out where the extract is and then run there. There’s not enough time to get anything done, and everything is already looted
probably tomorrow
now go around it
since drops also end and russian christmas is over today
what happens when you run out of time
this is basically impossible
the more you get familiar with the map, the more time you will feel you have to loot
if you want more time, try interchange, as a scav you can spawn in at like 35 mins left on inter
they shouldve had a quest where pmcs have to wear the hat so this quest could actually be done
you go MIA and you lose everything thats not in your secure container
Admittedly I am completely lost when it comes to loot locations. I know I’ll be able to remember where stuff is later, but would it not all be looted by the time you get there?
you go MIA and you dont get insurance back. If you think you are going to then drop all your stuff on the ground before the time runs out so you can get your insured stuff back
alright im at like a lumber mill
k keep going around
the lake?
woods? @unkempt talon
yup
yeah
It's basically random, you gotta look closely for things pmc's missed. Also, use mapgenie for loot locations
im in offline but i still wanna learn stuff
yeah keep going around the lake
after dead is possible to know if i did dmg to enemy?
Also, don't be afraid to run when doing scav runs because you are there at the last few min of pmc raids and most pmc's will be gone
scav house?
@neat flicker just make sure you don't kill other scavs and if you get shot, kill the person who is shooting at you
uhhhh maybe?
how big is it?
i am very new to this game any tips?
do scav raids whenever you can
does it have a wooden fence around it or a chain link fence?
its one room with a hobo barrel inside
thats scav house
use mapgenie if you got a second monitor
so you need to go south
how am i supposed to knwo where south is?
look on the map
@wicked scroll damn. Well then I would recommend either pulling it up on your phone and getting familiar with the map in offline mode raids. (You don't lose anything in these)
YESSS I KNOW WHERE I AMMMM
did you find the extract?
is there anyway to get a sight onto the AKS-74U with level 1 traders
oh well, iron sights aren't that bad
i'd just use ak-74
so i currently have 6 stacks of magnum buck ammo
leg meta
whats so wrong about being a scav
hows the queue atm?
nothing
i think i have a shotgun just need to get better internet
do i have to wait inbetween use times?
yeah, its because if you extract as a scav you get free loot without having to risk your own gear
what if you dont manage to extract
you lose nothing and you get nothing
no i mean do i have to wait?
yes
What is the state of the servers today? just got off work
wait just found another stack of magnum it's now 7 stacks
no, use scav runs as much as possible
its free chance for loot, use it
so what ive been doing is running scav pmc scav pmc the whole day. up about 1 mil rub. what next?
LESS then 4mins que for me
scav runs offer 0 risk with a potentially high reward
one you wanna learn
customs and reserve are my personal favorites
ill try customs
its a little difficult to extract from customs but if you can it pays off well
what is the looking for a group thing
its so you can find people to play with
oh
or play with your friends (if you hvae any)
wait, in the discord server or in game?
but i dont have friends
same
in game
oh, idfk what that is
What are friends?
lol
i think some type of bird
i could be wrong though
im scared
lets do this
solo is really fun anyways :'))
yeah but im terrified of everything
anyone willing too trade a purple orb
you dont have to worry about if those footsteps are an ally or not! @hollow storm
true
youll always meet a friendly bullet (:
shoot everything that moves
run*
or have someone meet a friendly bullet
unless its shouting hold your fire
no trading allowed here
or shouting fk you
but whats the fun in being nice?
not dying
there is none
queue so long bru 😂
i wanna make friends then stab in back cause im an evil person
i mean using voip
so just agree to hold fire, and shoot them while there not looking
I fear for your scav karma
wait thers a karma system
how does scav karma work?
ohhhhh noooooo
for scavs
only for scaves
not for pmcs (kill everyone)
scaves*
essentialy if you kill a firendly scav you lose karma
sCAVS*
if you kill a PMC you good
yup time for me to get instantly murdered
npc scavs shoot on sight, worse loot, less estracts @unkempt talon
if you kill santa, you get FKED on karma
yeah, if you shoot a scav whilst playing as a scav your "scav karma" goes down, and other friendly scavs will shoot you
so when you play as a scav, you have to target selct, unless you dont care about karma, then go ham....but in general, your loot on your scav gets worse and worse
and your extracts go down, and your timer on your scav goes up hard
and you also start getting every other scav on the raid hating you and killing you, so you become an incredibly undergeared PMC
how do i know who is a scav
.....expierince
and they wear funny clothing
generally if they have no armor, wear....civie clothes, have wierd hats
rolled up sleevese those are scavs
bears have rolled up sleeves
It's easy to tell once you've seen all scav attire. No pmc clothing truly resembles them.
ah true....
generally pmcs where a multitude of greens and black
are there npcs?
only broke people play scavs
False. It helps better yourself through real gameplay.
I am broke and proud of it
Helps some ease into the stress tarkov can bring.
I cant find it anywhere 😩
i have a nitro 5
yeah
it ran the offline well
u can craft it no?
you wanna play together porkey? (dont kill me I swear to god) @unkempt talon
can i join yous?
No
whats an easy map to learn
I run around anyway. I always sprint from cover to cover to reduce exposure and to dodge any potential shots
Dont tell beginners to learn factory first, please
Saved my life today doing that actually
customs has the most unique landmarks so it's easy to learn the map
6:40 in
When will the christmas tree get removed?
wait so what happens if you die too much and run out of loot to bring out
scav runs
im at that point now
i just bring an sks into woods and hope i make it out alive lol
but scav is on cooldown
buy the cheapest gun, try to kill a scav and run
can you go naked?
yup
oh
but you wont eb getting much
oh
its hard to kill somebody anked
