beginners-assistance

[lyric spear]

I usually do way better solo but playing with friends is more fun

[red flame]

It's like night and day.

[harsh epoch]

i dont have anyone to play with regardless, my irl who showed me it stopped playing but i liked it so i kept it going lol

solo is easiest unles you go against 4man or sumn

[red flame]

It's not that long anymore.

[harsh epoch]

i tihnk its 10s

[magic chasm]

how tf does anybody new find an extract

game makes zero sense to me

[waxen scarab]

online map

[lyric spear]

Basically have to use outside sources

[magic chasm]

even then there's no way of knowing where I am on the map

[red flame]

No.

[lyric spear]

Tarkov maps aren't that big you should be able to find where you are off of landmarks pretty easily after like 2 raids

[waxen scarab]

Wonder how it'll be when the game goes open world (Planned)

[bold kernel]

honestly need alot of help just downloaded it loaded in 2 games died off spawn

[magic chasm]

at least if there was a compass or something

idk not a fan

[waxen scarab]

you get a compass later

[lyric spear]

I dont think ive used the compass ever

idk what the keybind even is for it lol

[waxen scarab]

just remember it's russia and the maps might be south facing lol

[harsh epoch]

i use it once i learned the maps

[red flame]

Maps have landmarks which their name alone describes the location.

[waxen scarab]

I use it when i'm in woods and i just spawned wiith no landmarks

[bold kernel]

is playing customs good ?

[red flame]

Most of the time.

Customs best.

[harsh epoch]

play customs for now

[bold kernel]

alr

anyone down from the eu to play customs co op type

[red flame]

Do scav runs or offline raids to get use to mechanics if that's your issue. Otherwise it's trial and error.

Lots of deaths, especially first wipe.

[bold kernel]

alr

[red flame]

Try to remember where spawns are when you spawn. And where others come from or look from.

[waxen scarab]

if you spawn by big red warehouse odds are someone else spawned nearby

[silver juniper]

customs cringe woods pog

[harsh epoch]

wish spawns were random

so ppl cant spawn camp on factory lole

then i wouldntve died

[waxen scarab]

factory is just cod

[bold kernel]

i lost a mp5 an pistol me

[magic chasm]

what's the best beginners map

[bold kernel]

just from spawns an only played 2 games

[waxen scarab]

customs probably @magic chasm

[ornate steppe]

factory for quick pvp and customs for quests

[bold kernel]

How can I change servers when tarkov is already launched? I know it is possible

[waxen scarab]

Forged in fire 🦾

I learned the game in factory

[ornate steppe]

nah they need to learn how to fight just watch a map guide for the spawns

[lapis talon]

just got the game watched a lot of it but question is which map you recommend to run for first time ?

[red flame]

I've seen people who learn factory first prosper in only cqc.

[ornate steppe]

customs

[red flame]

Beyond that they are completely lost.

[lyric spear]

customs cuz quests

[lapis talon]

cheers

[waxen scarab]

accept debut and farm scavs on customs

[ornate steppe]

people who start on maps like woods will just get sniped and have no idea what they did I agree to you with an extent but learning factory early is very important but having it be the only map you play for a long time will ruin you in the long run

[red flame]

I do think it's important if your goal is to mindless rush dorms every raid.

[shrewd token]

yo

i just got the game

does anyone want to play with me?

[red flame]

on customs, at least. Over time if you focus on ratting you become more brazen in your decision making and essentially turn into master splinter fighting off evil doers. Aka anyone that breathes.

Play tarkov whilst having flight of the valkyries on loop and you can't lose.

[runic canopy]

coustoms is ass thhough

is a 50 round m14 mag anything worth

[red flame]

Customs is ass for dorm goers.

[runic canopy]

coustom rivals woods for the worst map

[orchid dirge]

Do you guys get unmotivated when you die with the best loot you have at level 15?

[harsh epoch]

no bc i only use scav loot

[runic canopy]

do u get unmotivated when after every raid u have to eat and drink and u have no foods left

[red flame]

Sounds like problems of someone that hates good maps.

[runic canopy]

and therapist wants 12k for a water

lol

[worthy stream]

This is the reason I recommend new players learning woods, because you will find so much food you wouldn't believe it and well, you see what happens if you don't stockpile food. Also 12k for a water is a good price, even if it may not seem like that now. If you hate the idea of woods, idk what to tell you except maybe learn to scav reserve and hit kitchen and underground kitchen while you're making roubles.

[exotic jungle]

if you need food just go to goshan lol

each raid there are like dozens of items spawning there

even if u need some cash u could go there

stuff I've forgotten to sell

[soft cosmos]

or just eat and drink everything you find in raid and helps with metabolism skill

[exotic jungle]

metabolism is the easiest skill to level

I spend my time popping painkillers and drinking right after that

[placid sentinel]

any reason to pick the stock double barrel over the stock MP133 when the MP133 has better ergo, weighs less, and both have the same effective distance?

[soft cosmos]

never pickin the double barrel cause it only holds two shells and if ya missed... kinda fooked

[placid sentinel]

my thoughts too

[soft cosmos]

do like using it cause of the boomstick lol but other than that ehhh

[rich warren]

Get two double barrels for the price of one mp33

Swap when you shoot the first 2 shots

[soft cosmos]

chances are you're already dead when that happens lol

[marble stag]

so... i killed a pmc with a GPU

wtf do i do with it now

[soft cosmos]

sell that puppy

to flea until then wait till 15 then

[marble stag]

im 9(.5 ish) rn

[serene ingot]

you also need them FiR for a quest so if u wanted to keep it you could

[autumn pendant]

is evasion armband worth anything?

[marble stag]

and i got a purple ornament

[sly igloo]

Hello, I went in raid with my PMC. Found food for a quest, extracted, but all my looted items are not marked "found in raid", is it normal ? T_T

[marble stag]

i really dont know how this game works, i dont do anything with quests i just like playing it. im learning slowly

[soft cosmos]

ornaments you cant sell, only trade in or use it on the tree in the hideout

[soft cosmos]

70k on flea

[marble stag]

i also found a printed board thingy and power cord, relations?

[soft cosmos]

stuff that can be used to level up hideout and pcb is used for quests and hideout

[marble stag]

i really havent messed with my hideout

i do wanna get the shooting range tho

[rich warren]

You have to wait seven minutes (I think? Maybe it’s longer. 7 mins on factory) before you extract. Or get a certain amount of xp which is like ~200

[soft cosmos]

you down to play dog? if you NA

[marble stag]

honestly sure lol

[rich warren]

To not get a run through that is

[marble stag]

im getting some decent kills n stuff

[soft cosmos]

skill dont matter to me or level, just like to play the game

[sly igloo]

seriously? I need to stay longer or it doesn't work ??? O_O

[marble stag]

same

[rich warren]

Yep, or get more xp from looting/killing scavs/whatever. That or wait seven (I think, could be wrong) minutes before extracting

[serene ingot]

yes theres an xp requirement to get survived instead of run through

[marble stag]

oh i uh also found a GP

[serene ingot]

its like 600 i think or something

[marble stag]

wtv tf that it

[sly igloo]

Thanks for the information, but that's some hidden knowledge :/

[rich warren]

Is it 600? I thought it was lowered to like 200 but maybe not. I swear 2 kills gets you found in raid and that’s like 350xp

[serene ingot]

they could have lowered it, i havent played for a while. last i heard it was 5 or 600

[rich warren]

Multiple runs I’ve killed one PMC with a headshot and ran out of factory and got survived. Had a factory weekly

Or two scavs

[rich warren]

If you kill like one scav and loot a bunch of stuff you can extract 90% of the time. I’m not sure if there’s a way to tell your status in game, sorry

If there is I don’t know it

[sly igloo]

I checked the wiki, you're right

[magic chasm]

honestly game is kinda ass

[ornate owl]

shut up

[magic chasm]

I've never seen a game with such good combat have absolutely no real mission or objective

Let's not capture objectives as teams... let's loot keys and do quests?

👎

[worthy stream]

The point is that the mission or objective is whatever you want it to be. If you only enjoy the combat, then get enough money to be economically stable then go play factory all day. If you want to get high end gear and be a chad, you level up your traders to be able to buy high end armor and ammo. If you wanna get kappa, you grind for kappa.

[rich warren]

Kind of agree with you here. They should add like a battle Royal map where you drop in with gear and top 10 survivors get money or items or something. Not enough things that promote pvp

[placid sentinel]

airdrops and future radiation stuff seems like battle royale elements to me

[rich warren]

It’s fun but it’s definitely whatever you make of it

[slender girder]

Whats difference between bear and usec

[rich warren]

Yeah I love the airdrops

Great mechanic

[worthy stream]

This is a survival game, not your average fps. The lore is that your PMCs command has stopped responding and your only objective is to survive. Why would you ever capture objectives if they serve no purpose to you? You only loot keys if you want to farm money. You only do quests if there's a benefit to it that you care about.

[magic chasm]

Idk maybe I need a squad or something?

it's too confusing otherwise

[placid sentinel]

i remember hearing that BSG did state that they balance things for squad play, not necessarily solo players

[rich warren]

Tbf this is more set up as a autistic loot simulator than a survival game

[ivory musk]

how do i make this aks74u folding for gunsmith 2

[rich warren]

So I’m with him there

[magic chasm]

I'm saying though like USEC vs. BEAR or something and we fight to capture an objective.

[rich warren]

It’s fun but the optimal way to play is dumb

[worthy stream]

I've heard some stuff that I think (think, not sure) has confirmed that eventually there will be a "tarkov arena" game, that will appeal to people that don't like survival game tarkov and only like the game for the pvp.

[magic chasm]

They should have set that up yesterday lol

[rich warren]

That’d be fun, it’d just be nice to have an end-game pvp outlet that isn’t factory or labs

[magic chasm]

I like every hardcore aspect of it other than no clear indicator of your teammate and no map

The comms must be chaos in a firefight

[rich warren]

Map thing is a little silly because most just use a second monitor

[worthy stream]

The fact that you think that implies that you want to have millions of roubles and only farm money when you play this game, which shows what you want to do in tarkov, not the sole intended objective of the game. There's nothing wrong with that, unless of course, you're complaining about it and don't actually enjoy it.

[rich warren]

Good in theory, doesn’t work in reality

Should at least improve in game map even if no indicator of where you are

[magic chasm]

Well if you're a doof like me I can't go for the second monitor option cause I have a laptop

[rich warren]

True I suppose

[magic chasm]

Idk I technically got it for free because of a giftcard

so whatever

[worthy stream]

The game is supposed to be as realistic as possible. If that's what you want, pray nikita adds a gps lol. But then you'll be upset you're having to pay some amount of roubles for it. Or you could just gitgud and learn the maps.

[rich warren]

I think having a good static map is realistic. The fact that we all use mapgrnie on a second monitor is a little silly

Obviously the optimal way to play until you learn the map

[magic chasm]

A map is fine

Lol

[placid sentinel]

imo dont expect it to play like battlefield or COD
this is supposed to be hardcore; if you want accessibility then play the aforementioned

[magic chasm]

I'll just look for a group willing to teach me the game I guess

[iron prism]

should i hand gpus for farming pt4 or sell on flea for 500k?

[magic chasm]

It's funny though because I play a lot of hunt and people compared this game to hunt which.. other than losing all your stuff is the only real comparison

[worthy stream]

I wouldn't do farming pt4 unless ur going for kappa container. Your other options are sell for 500k, save for bitcoin farm (long grind to get), or hold on to them until they go up to 1mil each

[placid sentinel]

yeah i can see it being compared to Hunt

[magic chasm]

But again Hunt has an objective

[soft cosmos]

well i is in 4 man 11 can join in if ya want, just gotta scroll all the way down

[magic chasm]

You go in, get the Bounty, leave

Lol

Tarkov you go in... loot some things

[west plover]

how popular is labs these days?

[clear reef]

Is trading my merin key for a weapons case a good deal?

[harsh epoch]

YESSSSSSS i did it i placed the thing

[ocean marsh]

Anyone able to help me figure out what i need to do to be able to join the voice channels? trying to join one of the 3mans

[magic chasm]

@soft cosmos what map you on

[soft cosmos]

shoreline atm just cause i gotta quest

[rich warren]

Technically if you’re doing the quests it’s objectives

[magic chasm]

true but you know what I mean

[rich warren]

Yeah they ain’t great

[placid sentinel]

it would be pretty badass to see a BEAR vs USEC scenario tho

[rich warren]

I worry about the PMC karma idea. I like a bear vs usec map or something

[placid sentinel]

like trying to take fortress in customs or something

[magic chasm]

@soft cosmos I left the game by accident forgot about the insane queue times, go on without me for now

[rich warren]

pmc karma seems dumb when it's already hard to distinguish people and there could be more pvp if anything, not less

[iron prism]

ty, i'll probably sell for 500k, i need cash now and im not going to hold for half the wipe lol

[magic chasm]

@rich warren I can barely tell the difference between a scav and pmc

[rich warren]

pmc you can shoot everything

[magic chasm]

granted I've played for like 2 hours total probably

I know that much, I meant I can't ID them

[rich warren]

scav you don't shoot anything basically unless you want your rep to go to shit (only PMCs, raiders, rogues)

[magic chasm]

or sometimes it's hard to distinguish

[rich warren]

most of the time you don't run into many PMCs though

yeah

it's somewhat hard to ID, you just get used to it

takes some time. Still takes like 1-2 seconds

[magic chasm]

my first scav game I accidently shot a Scav lol

[rich warren]

enough so that if you're a good scav not wanting to shoot you'll normally get blasted if you turn a corner into a pmc

before your brain puts it together

kinda sucks

It's a griefer's paradise if you don't care about scav karma

[magic chasm]

what does scav karma affect

[silver juniper]

what pistols are good?

[rich warren]

scav cooldown, scav loot, whether or not scavs aggro you when you scav in

[magic chasm]

ah gotcha

[worthy stream]

+the price of taking car extracts. You can take a car extract as pmc to gain .25 rep

[violet jay]

hey does anyone know a good way to get those purple ornament thingies?

[rich warren]

If you get 6 fence rep you get sick loot... like this

that's the elite tab

[rich warren]

normally valuable spawns on mapgenie will have a chance to spawn ornaments

[placid sentinel]

i think glock and 5.7

[rich warren]

no guaranteed way afaik. Maybe safe?

five-seven and USP imo

[placid sentinel]

never used em myself tho

[rich warren]

the 45 with acp

err AP

[violet jay]

thx

[silver juniper]

yea USP seems nice, i have m1911 rn

[open apex]

what is

that laser that is a low visable red circle

[worthy stream]

IR light, a handful of tactical devices have them. Idk which ones, just check the descriptions for "IR/infrared search light"

[placid sentinel]

do you guys go into factory as a PMC hoping to extract or just call of duty it

[worthy stream]

extract, but sometimes COD for fun. Typically if I'm going factory I'm doing a quest or scav farming for xp, which I want that survival multiplier for.

[placid sentinel]

cool, cool
i still havent run factory yet cuz i guess i still have gear fear haha

[dusk ember]

i go into factory with a pistol only. looking to take out chads with nothing.

makes the game a lot of fun and forces you to learn how to pvp

[somber rain]

Mhm

[placid sentinel]

yeah, thats what im hoping to do too. you think its not even worth getting the dick helm and PACA? im guessing not cuz all the footage ive seen are just butt naked PMCs

[somber rain]

I find running a 133 with 7mm a good challenge, as well

[dusk ember]

pistol and meds in secure case

who cares if you die you spend 200$

[rich warren]

run a double barrel w/ magnum buckshot in pocket

[dusk ember]

accidently live you make 4x as much

[rich warren]

costs like 7k and you can 2 tap anyone

no gear fear and you can get the feel of it

[placid sentinel]

i have an unrelated question

[dusk ember]

sup'

[placid sentinel]

do you guys think burst firing is viable with the new recoil change?

[rich warren]

I forgot burst fire was even a thing in this game

[placid sentinel]

i feel like the first shot recoil throws you off

[rich warren]

unless you mean manually, normally just semi tap though

[placid sentinel]

and you stay on target more when you just keep spraying

[vital moth]

I only use umps with full auto

[dusk ember]

im only full spray when i get caught off guard close range

[placid sentinel]

yeah im at the shooting testing my theory with the ump and pp-19

[rich warren]

if you full auto it depends on the gun. Often you'll find close range full auto hipfire w/ laser is the way to go

[bold kernel]

hey pretty new to the game and was wondering if it's recommended to have someone with you when doing quests?

tasks*

[placid sentinel]

still not good at point firing :/

[vital moth]

Fetch quests, yeah. But I prefer to do scav kills alone

[dusk ember]

honestly its best to learn the game solo..

[placid sentinel]

solo = dont have to worry about killing your mates if you ran in a group

footsteps that arent yours are hostile

[vital moth]

5 man in Dorms. That's my favorite.

Always chaos

[dusk ember]

solo = learning how to run the game so when your team dies youre not useles

[vital moth]

Same with factory lol

[dusk ember]

you the 5 mans i run into that all have altyns running at me in factory with monkey noises huh?

[vital moth]

Hahaha no but that's quite funny

[placid sentinel]

monkey noises?!

lmao

[dusk ember]

here i am pistol only... and 5 mfs run at me in factory not shooting bc they realize i have pistol. surrounding me like planet of the aps

[willow ocean]

any tips on getting the merin car key or house key for lighthouse? or tips on getting dorms marked key

[dusk ember]

the lonely human caught in the rebellion

[vital moth]

Get other loot, sell it, buy key

[placid sentinel]

hahaha

[dusk ember]

ill give you my marked key for merin 😉

[vital moth]

it's just RNG otherwise

[willow ocean]

Wow find it funny how a discord mod on a tarkov server doesnt know they arent selling for roubles

[vital moth]

I'm only level 16 this wipe! Haven't had to worry about the key yet.

[willow ocean]

like i cant find any selling

[vital moth]

But thanks for educating me in such a kind manner

[dusk ember]

important keys are barter only now

[willow ocean]

oh 😦

[dusk ember]

if at all

[placid sentinel]

what maps are your guys go-to for killing scavs?
im still at the point where i wait until like 20 minutes cuz i dont wanna be killed by the big boys

[humble junco]

woods

[willow ocean]

well anytips on finding the keys ?

[serene ingot]

woods

[humble junco]

crack house more spec

[placid sentinel]

okay, same page

[dusk ember]

jackets. dorm or reserve

[vital moth]

I really like woods for that.

[silver juniper]

woods the bottom right place has a lot of scavs forget the name

[vital moth]

Village, scav house both good

[silver juniper]

shit near RUAF

[willow ocean]

Im scared of dorms should i go there on a night raid?

[orchid dirge]

Just lost 3 UMPs that I spent some money on

[vital moth]

I thi k you're talking about village

Bunch of houses

[silver juniper]

the military base thingy

[orchid dirge]

3 raids, faced 3 more experienced and with better gear

[dusk ember]

if u want ratty ppl go night, if you want chads go day

[silver juniper]

b ut yeah that too

[willow ocean]

oh

[vital moth]

Ohhh ya the med camp by lumber mill

Good too

[willow ocean]

which do u think?

[tranquil edge]

Fairhope Sturman doesn’t mark you

[silver juniper]

also below sniper rock is normally 2-3 + the sniper at top

[dusk ember]

do you want to face better aim or better hiders?

[willow ocean]

probably hiders

[dusk ember]

night then

[silver juniper]

5min queue for factory 😦 my double barrel swag is taking a long time 🙂

[humble junco]

Bring a flashlight @willow ocean

[willow ocean]

A lot of new players i see are on night raids so there might not be as many ppl

[serene ingot]

night raids are def nice at first, you can run around and not be seen and kinda have a side of a map to yourself for the most part

[willow ocean]

why only at first?

[silver juniper]

1 min into factory not a single shot fired yet

[dusk ember]

i hate those factory raids

[serene ingot]

further into wipe everyone runs thermals

[willow ocean]

ouh

[dusk ember]

be careful they all rats

[silver juniper]

fr

[dusk ember]

thermals only help if you know where to look

[bleak gyro]

Hey guys is it normal to get rolled over at the current stage in wipe as im level 13 and running a modded VPO-136 Vepr KM (PS ammo)?

[dusk ember]

as in chads are killing you?

[bleak gyro]

i can't seem to win any fight against people use full auto guns

close range

[bleak gyro]

is there a way to know what guns they used to kill me?

[dusk ember]

vpo only being single shot wont help close range. better to play the range game

[silver juniper]

this shit is so stressful ahh

[bleak gyro]

true i should try and have more med-long range fights

[dusk ember]

only way to tell is by looking at ammo that killed you on death screen then deducting what gun he had

[silver juniper]

welp found someone https://i.imgur.com/dSXDfCB.png

[dusk ember]

head /eyes by a shotty? oof

[bleak gyro]

ohhhhh i didnt know that thanks! can i also tell how many bullets it took to kill me?

[dusk ember]

if you look at spoons picture he sent. that shows you where you died. red skull meaning kill bullet

[dusk ember]

not 100% how many bullets but you get a rough idea where they hit you

[silver juniper]

whats a cheapish sight for a 215? i hate the default, ideally like a 1-3x or a 3-6 or something

[bleak gyro]

cool! okay at least now i can know what ammo hit me

[dusk ember]

variable sights get pricey. 30-50k

[bleak gyro]

if i hit level 15 what should i prioritise to get a better loadout?

[silver juniper]

do you knoow the name of that one 2.5x?

trying to find it

[bleak gyro]

i favor the AK line

[untold ruin]

what should i keep or sell?

[dusk ember]

not off the top of my head sorry

[silver juniper]

ive had lots of luck with the ump, getting 2-3 pmc kills, but aks and other guns are also very strong

[dusk ember]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOIU2ubBaIo&ab_channel=Rengawr

great video on lvling up if youre focus is leveling

[bleak gyro]

coolio UMP is from Peacekeeper level 2 right?

[silver juniper]

yea for like 274$ i think

[bleak gyro]

thank you 😄

[silver juniper]

you can also buy knives from flea/fence if you dont have PC2 but then you cant suppress it

( just cause if you dont have pc2/flea you cant buy a supressor 🙂 )

[dusk ember]

Ump is great in youre a close range guy. Longer range VPO fs

[silver juniper]

100%

[dusk ember]

vpo 2 taps to chest

even with class 4 armour

[silver juniper]

match fmj is also just super nice

like i loved my pp19 zenit thingy with PST ammo, match is like 25 more dmg and can pen lvl3

[dusk ember]

subsonic rounds in the mp9

mp7*

[bleak gyro]

may i ask which VPO is that?

[silver juniper]

209 and 215 with AP ammo

[dusk ember]

^^

22k in que. I can give you builds once i get in

[silver juniper]

nooooooo the sight i wanted to use... the mount costs 32k from flea but 1k from skier 2 lol

oh nvm i spend 10k more w skier and i get skier 2

[dusk ember]

getting trader lvl up in this wipe are crazy helpful

[bleak gyro]

the AP ammo is only available with mechanic level 3 right?

[silver juniper]

you can find it and buy off of flea

[bleak gyro]

ah i see havent used the flea before haha

[dusk ember]

ap-3s

[silver juniper]

this is my first wipe in 4? years or so iv enever used flea either

[dusk ember]

where to start...?

[bleak gyro]

much complex

[silver juniper]

man Kiver + fort + asval was the meta back then

factory runs in a 3 man never die

[dusk ember]

nostalgia

[bleak gyro]

slowly learning! thanks for the help guys appreciate it 😄

[dusk ember]

❤️

its not a game you can learn fast

as a layman at least

[silver juniper]

wtf vector so OP? or can u not buy bigger mags

[tranquil edge]

9m vector

has bigger mags

[dusk ember]

ammo is pricey af

[silver juniper]

ye but 9m:(

[bleak gyro]

agreed there's so many things to consider and do xD

[tranquil edge]

the ap one had 30 clip but they 100k each unless u max trader

[dusk ember]

some ammo better than others depending on goals...

[dusk ember]

way too many variables

depends more on scav karma then pmc

[bleak gyro]

yeah man i am just currently using ammo that has the highest pen chance for my vepr km

[dusk ember]

you have a brief window of time. max ive had 2minutes before they go crazy

[dusk ember]

good calls

your choice lmao

when my karma was below 1 they shot me for getting too close. now its higher i can walk/run past them without them shooting but they still voice que disgruntled comments

yeah its dicey rn. The bosses are weird

sometimes I can chill in the lighthouse rogue buildings with rogues and other times they shoot me for being outside the wall...

[weak locust]

how can i get a GK-02 12ga muzzle brake without lvl 2

[bleak gyro]

👍

what are your favourite pre level 15 sights?

[dusk ember]

same mechanics as bosses

[plucky dragon]

red dot or scope?

[bleak gyro]

red dot

[weak locust]

ok thanks

lvl 14, slow leveler. Can I get rid of any of these?

[plucky dragon]

if you have jaeger its the cobra

[glad lotus]

Which is weird since for me the bosses are way less aggressive, the rogues even shout special "we got a bandit/scavenger here" lines which I thought meant they were always hostile

[dusk ember]

bcp fmj, tcw sp, poeva-6u, t-45 akbs, bzht,

[placid sentinel]

pretty sure if rogues are aggroed by either PMC or scav, they KOS all scavs

[tender relic]

tyvm

[plucky dragon]

the burris from peacekeeper is also pretty fat

[dusk ember]

yes

[cold blade]

Is it worth buying the reserve bunkhouse marked key is it any good this wipe

[bleak gyro]

im torned between the kobra and pk-06

[dusk ember]

id believe this

[bleak gyro]

yet to try burris might give it a shot now

[dusk ember]

kobra

imo

[dusk ember]

yes if you run reserve

[plucky dragon]

naw the pk-06 is trash now, it moves way too much when your moving

[dusk ember]

kobra is crisp trust

[plucky dragon]

indeed

[placid sentinel]

yeah ive read a lot of peopel recc'ing the kobra

[bleak gyro]

alrighty kobra it is since i can add a little sight shade 😄

[charred scroll]

anyone wanna help a starter play

[grand moth]

id get the game rn but im watching guides and i dont even think i could comprehend the keybinds and stuff

[dusk ember]

i bought a pc to learn how to play eft

lol

[grand moth]

id be learning how to play at like 20 fps at lowest settings

[dusk ember]

youre going to be ass for 6 months. but itll be a hella fun 6 months

[dusk ember]

offline raids probably your best bet

[grand moth]

yeah i just saw that was a thing

watched a handful of guides and stuff

[lunar herald]

Does anyone hear run night raids often? Do many people use night vision? Just found some nv goggles and i cant sell them on the flea

[dusk ember]

pestily has a series for brand new players. teaching you how to get started if you were looking for a starters start

[grand moth]

im eying being a scav the entire time because i have a thing for rolling the dice

[dusk ember]

great way to learn the varieties of guns, and how scavs work

plenty of profit to be had still

[dusk ember]

i do but dont use nv

[lunar herald]

Scav runs earn serious money if u do them right too, I just found a gpu in one scav run then made 400k the next

[lunar herald]

Do you not find yourself getting fucked over by nv users?

[dusk ember]

still early in the wipe. not many ppl have them

[grand moth]

i might have to watch a video or something about the keybinds because i dont want to have to stare at my keyboard or have a list of keybinds next to me during a fight

[dusk ember]

too bad.. lmao

or get used to other pc games first then get into this

comfortability in your keyboard is lowkey huge

im in game now too if anyone needs a gun build lmk

[grand moth]

nah im 100% comfortable with my keyboard at like 120 kpm

but i just dont want to have to find out how to check my ammo because i forgot

[tribal garnet]

PK demon

[lunar herald]

once you die a few times because you didnt know the keybind, you will learn the keybind trust me

I couldnt use alt easily while using wasd until I learnt the importance of the head turn mid sprint

[dusk ember]

fail enough you learn to succeed

[tribal garnet]

Verbal

[dusk ember]

sup

[tender relic]

whatchu keep in your tac rigs? Trying to organize my stash, I like yours

[tribal garnet]

[lunar herald]

Your ocd man

[dusk ember]

[dusk ember]

[tribal garnet]

[tender relic]

[dusk ember]

where tf you find red key?

[tribal garnet]

was doing the shoreline task earlier my weekly to survive it 15 times and this was the first raid lol

[grand moth]

what are my uhh chances of winning eft for free in the #eft-announcements twitch streams

[tribal garnet]

blue barrel on shoreline

[tribal garnet]

bro ik lol i looks nice tho 🙂

[placid sentinel]

is there anythign stopping me from buying containers for my stash once i hit 15 for the flea market? besides the containers being in stock, ofc and the price

[lunar herald]

How u get so much shit too? You must play a lot yea haha

[dusk ember]

you goon.. thats fucking huge lmao

[tribal garnet]

yea ive been playing a fair bit lol first week i was playing like 10-12 hours a day then my monitor broke now its like 3 or 4 a day

[dusk ember]

hell no. your storage is mad important

[tribal garnet]

cuz im on a damn TV

[placid sentinel]

hell yeah, thanks. i wasnt sure if i had to be an appropriate flea market rep or something cuz apparently flea rep is a thing?

[honest anchor]

So I did Chemical part 4 and and turned it in to therapist and I got loyalty quest or whatever for Prapor and Skier but I haven't lost karma?

[dusk ember]

fence rep is important not flee

[tribal garnet]

flea rep just allows u to sell more items on flea i think? maybe cheaper tax? not sure tho

[placid sentinel]

ooooh ok

[tribal garnet]

some cases cant be sold on flea tho like money and rations

[lunar herald]

Do a lot of chads run reserve? I put off learning it last wipe because I didnt have a good map, but found the marked keys so trying to learn it but every raid ive had some W key towards me and spray me down super quick

[dusk ember]

a common map know for big payouts

yes to be frank

[pearl pier]

where do I find ornaments?

I've only found them as part of my scav gear so far

[dusk ember]

toolboxes, duffle bags, ground loot

[pearl pier]

but damn they're rare as fuck

and the event ends in a few hours

[tribal garnet]

shit

was hoping to craft another ledx before then...

[pearl pier]

I'm just 1 purple ornament short for a gas analyzer

[tribal garnet]

do the ornaments dissapear? or what happens to them? lol

[placid sentinel]

apparently you can pick them off the tree if theres no snow on top of it

[dusk ember]

cant find my last fkn purple orb.. so upsetting

[pearl pier]

wait what the fuck

[placid sentinel]

wait could be wrong
i got that from a streamer's chat lol could be jebaiting

[tribal garnet]

can give u one lol

[dusk ember]

orbs can be on trees but its only 1 if any

[dusk ember]

ill give you labs key if you need

[pearl pier]

if only bsg didn't decide to lock therapist's quests behind one that requires you to find 2 of the rarest fucking loot in the game

[tribal garnet]

naw dw bout it homie lol

[dusk ember]

i have more labs keys than orbs.. you sure?

[tribal garnet]

yea lol i get them pretty often so im not worried got like 5 or 6 stashed away rn

factory day?

[dusk ember]

i make my bot friends give me them lmao

[tribal garnet]

lol

[dusk ember]

yeah lmk when

[tribal garnet]

im looking lol its oBlooz im EOD

[tribal garnet]

^

[pearl pier]

other than certain containers, are there locations that spawn orbs

[tribal garnet]

valuable spawns so like gold chain spawns and military spawns

[dusk ember]

no game volume factory escape? what you think

[pearl pier]

do ground caches spawn orbs?

[dusk ember]

i believe you can find them there

red/purp esp

[tribal garnet]

bro the matching lmaooo

[rich warren]

1 or 2 people want to run reserve with me and loot? Just bought most of the keys and can drop t4 helm/armor and a vector so it's no risk, just bring a backpack

[tribal garnet]

3 min que for factory,......

[dusk ember]

getting worse by the day

[tribal garnet]

its normally not this bad for factory tho

[dusk ember]

factory takes me 5-8 min normally...

[cold blade]

I use multiple servers so you get quicker loading times

[rich warren]

^

select a bunch of servers

[dusk ember]

i dont want to play with you EU fucks 😉

jk jk

[lunar herald]

Why am I getting such bad frame drops playing lighthouse, can anyone help? Its nearly unplayable, I have a 3070, Ryzen 7 2700X and 16gb DDr4 ram, Im going from 50fps down to 15-20fps

[tribal garnet]

really? lol its normally like 2 mins max for me

[lunar herald]

normally on other maps im at 80fps

[cold blade]

tarkov is unoptimised

[tribal garnet]

is it ur first few times play LH? cuz my first like 3 or 4 runs on LH were laggy ash but then it went back to like 50

[dusk ember]

maybe change some showing/particle shit

[lunar herald]

but other people are playing it, yea my first few times

Like no way could i pvp with how it is now

im just doing scav runs

[cold blade]

scav runs are the best

[iron prism]

can you kill killa with btgs?

[cold blade]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics check this website and see if it is pen through t6/t5

[hidden jacinth]

Anyone got graphics recommendations for 3070&ryzen 5600x?

[dusk ember]

@tribal garnet thanks again brother

[tribal garnet]

lol theres so many pistol runners on factory..

[tribal garnet]

np homie

[dusk ember]

lil timmy came in and killed me with a pistol too lmao

[iron prism]

is killa's helmnet 5 or 6

[cold blade]

helmet 5 face mask 6

[dusk ember]

highkey just impact nade killa. easiest kill

[cold blade]

can’t buy impact nades most likely

[dusk ember]

@tribal garnet tryna scav run?

[dusk ember]

they know what to save them for now

[cold blade]

I just use mosin or hunter to kill him as they are also reliable against players and don’t run out after 1 use

[iron prism]

i was about to open kiba when killa ran down the escalators and killed me

i didnt know he could rush you like that lol

[cold blade]

He will chase you to the end of the earth if you agro him

[iron prism]

yeah but i didnt aggro him

[pearl pier]

why the fuck is there a quest to kill killa 100 times

[unique steeple]

Cool clothes

[unique steeple]

Helmet 4

[bold kernel]

when does the christmas tree event end?

[unique steeple]

Tomorrow

Or today depending where u are

[open apex]

i recently just had enough to get a injector case from therapist what sorta injectors are handy to put in it

and im confused what propital is good for

[unique steeple]

Etgc, mule

Sj6

[unique steeple]

Healing

It’s a slower etgc

[cold blade]

mb

[modern trellis]

Quick question,what has happened with the RB-OB key?

[modern trellis]

cannot find it anywhere on the flea market

[rich warren]

what I have in mine

[tender relic]

why keep? Are they good to use in raids?

[rich warren]

zagustin + propital good to pop before a fight. Propital just like a better painkiller a lot of the time and gives regen

MULE + 3-(b-TG) + SJ6 good if you want to get somewhere fast or are overweight

all give +stam recovery +weight limit etc

[tender relic]

should I focus on that late game or now? (lvl 14, very slow leveler)

ty for the help btw

[steep tendon]

will there be queues after today?

[bleak gyro]

Hmmm generally how much hydration and energy should i at least have before entering a raid?

[rich warren]

probably not worth it now. If you don't care about money you could put propital in there and use it if you run into people

[steep tendon]

also, at what level will i have levelled up traders? or do i have to level up their rep by tasks?

[rich warren]

might be worth having afew on you just in case you run into people, up to you though. Not important this early

[steep tendon]

someone told me that once ur a certain level, ur traders are high level too

[rich warren]

at least at lvl 15 you can buy stims

[white hornet]

when should i start caring about hideout stuff

[unique steeple]

U can check the requirements, go into each trader and u will see

[unique steeple]

Asap

[steep tendon]

why cant u just tell me tho?

[unique steeple]

It’s way too much lmfao

Every trader has different requirements

[steep tendon]

oh

okay thanks

so like is it even worth it doing tasks then

[white hornet]

the red stuffs in hideout unlocks at 15?

[ornate owl]

welp just died toa 3 man who camped directors office, killed 2 of them though

[steep tendon]

cause i go in raid and die tryna do these shit tasks

[unique steeple]

Only thing u should be doing

[worthy stream]

I keep a meldonin (10% less damage taken except to the head), Zagustin (instantly stops and prevents light and heavy bleeding), green stim (something like 6 or 7 total hp per second), SJ6 (Basically multiplies your stamina by a lot) and M.U.L.E (50% increased carry weight, at the cost of taking something like 10-20% more damage except to the head)

[unique steeple]

What?

[white hornet]

like the hideout stuff right now is mostly locked for me

[steep tendon]

bro what

i have to do tasks?

[white hornet]

but i worked on some of the stuff tat arent lock already

[steep tendon]

i thought i can just play the game

[worthy stream]

For each trader level you need to be a certain level, have a certain amount of rep, and have bought/sold a certain amount of currency worth of items. I would say you should only level up the traders that sell stuff you want.

[unique steeple]

Some things are trader locked so yeah u have to get higher traders for certain items

[tender relic]

is there any average wait time for pmc runs on factory? Wondering if I should restart my matching

[unique steeple]

Like 2-3mins

[tender relic]

shiiiiiiiiiiii

[white hornet]

tnks

[dusk ember]

im back boi

[steep tendon]

do you guys play on max fov? i see a lot of the good players toning it down to like 65

is that for a reason?

[unique steeple]

Well the quests give the game some meaning

I’m on 69

[dusk ember]

easier to see further. not as much to look at

[unique steeple]

It gets hard to see far

[dusk ember]

easier to aim

[worthy stream]

I play like 60-65 can't remember exactly. Reason for this is it becomes easier to see things further away as your vision is more "zoomed in" Note: lower fov also somewhat increases fps as there are less things inside of your vision

[quartz agate]

just got out of a raid and got an mk47 out of airdrop, im lvl 5 so is it good/worth keeping and what mags can i get for it rn because i cant find any

[steep tendon]

also, idk woods and i have a convoy quest on it, is that bad that im level 8 and still on that quest

[runic canopy]

so um

[unique steeple]

The faster u do it the better

[worthy stream]

Best 7.62x39mm gun in the game. Don't use it now lol. Keep it in your stash until you know what to do with it.

[dusk ember]

a lot of streamers wait until lvl 30 gather all woods quests then go

[steep tendon]

aight ill try to do these quests sometime

[runic canopy]

i accidentaly killed santa again minus 1.9 fence rep guess i never reach 0 now

[unique steeple]

Nice

[dusk ember]

worst ai to scare you

[steep tendon]

thast why i reset my account lmao

[ornate owl]

tagilla wearing santa bag?

[steep tendon]

i was level 8 with like 5 mil and good shit but my scav was -0.8

[unique steeple]

Every boss is

[ornate owl]

wahhhh

[dusk ember]

win/win?

[unique steeple]

That’s not even bad

[ornate owl]

yes win

[runic canopy]

not an option

[unique steeple]

Easily recoverable

[runic canopy]

so like

[steep tendon]

ik but i hadnt done any quests and tbh i just wanted to start fresh

[runic canopy]

is there any hope in ever getting to even 0 now

[unique steeple]

Fair

[calm marsh]

Gas Analyzers do spawn on OLI shelves, yeah?

[unique steeple]

Yes

[steep tendon]

i gave the game like 6 tries in a year

[unique steeple]

They’re more common in tech shops

[steep tendon]

just dont think its for me tbh, or i might give it another try and just learn all the maps first

[calm marsh]

Awesome, I'll map those out.

I don't check in the non-major stores as much as I ought to

[steep tendon]

cause the game is so good but the quests just ruins it for me rn so idk

[calm marsh]

Thing is, Moe, you can really ignore the quests if that's what you're wanting

[steep tendon]

i dont want to tho

[quartz agate]

whats funny is i asked the same question in a different server and got the EXACT opposite advise, imma do what u said though cus im a fucking loot scared horder

[scarlet oracle]

Looking for a new tarkov partner. I am lvl 17 and am new to tarkov considering this is my second wipe and i didnt play much last wipe. I have decent map knowledge and decent mechanics. looking for someone who just wants to have some fun make some rubles and do some tasks. I play on us east

[calm marsh]

But they ruin the game for you. That's a bit contradictory

[steep tendon]

u know what i mean? like i wanna do them but i just cant lol

[runic canopy]

how am i supposed to get to 0 karma now

[calm marsh]

I suppose I feel that

[steep tendon]

like some of them are just so hard and when i die it just kills my mood to go back

[calm marsh]

A lot of the quests just happen with normal gameplay

Which ones are you struggling on?

[steep tendon]

gotta pay to heal when im broke, grab more guns and meds

[silver juniper]

THERE IS STILL MORE TO LOOT ! https://i.imgur.com/j2TNEsa.jpeg

[unique steeple]

Get a grizzly it’s cheaper

[steep tendon]

im struggling on the pocket watch one cause i havent found machinery key

the convoy one

thats the hardest cause idk woods

personaly

[unique steeple]

Don’t give money to the rapist

[calm marsh]

Also, I know not everyone loves scav runs (I do) but you can consistently make a few hundred thousand roubles per run

[dusk ember]

glad to see you going good buddy!

[steep tendon]

bro i had an HK with M995 mags

[calm marsh]

Convoy is a pain, yeah, but the two points are right next to each other

[steep tendon]

shat on everyone for like 4 raids

[worthy stream]

lmfao yeah don't waste that thing. Use it wisely.

[steep tendon]

died with it and now i have nothing

[runic canopy]

am so mad i have minus 1,9 now

[calm marsh]

If you head into LFG you can probably get someone to take you around there

Getting good with cheaper kits helps

[steep tendon]

i got cheesed so i sold everything, now i have a scav junkbox with a gpu in it and thats all

[calm marsh]

Then the good stuff feels great instead of the bad stuff feeling like shit

[thin yoke]

What should I do with the different fabrics I get at the start?

[calm marsh]

Sell, keep, up to you

They don't do anything overly special

[thin yoke]

Sell it is

[unique steeple]

Sell

Sell whiskey u get at the start as well

Or drink it

[thin yoke]

Sold it lol

[steep tendon]

but yo

am i fucked?

nothing at level 8

except 2 mil

no tasks done

[unique steeple]

It doesn’t matter if u so ur tasks at lvl 1 or 8

[steep tendon]

start again next wipe or nah?

[unique steeple]

Bruh💀

[steep tendon]

LMAO

[dusk ember]

you can make millions by just playing as a scav.. its your choice what you want to do

[calm marsh]

2 mil is plenty.

[unique steeple]

Man got to lvl 8 and gave up for the whole wipe

[thin yoke]

Just buy gear and just go all in lol

[rapid lotus]

What can I buy from jaeger that I can sell back to him to lvl him up?

[dusk ember]

it sounds like youre not having fun so maybe try again later

[calm marsh]

Yeah, no sense trying to force it if you're not feeling it

[unique steeple]

Antique axe from flea is pretty good i belive

[calm marsh]

But regardless, find what you like about the game and do more of that

[flint crystal]

why wont it let me make my scav case

i get moving items error every time

[steep tendon]

not having fun rn

but i like the game

[calm marsh]

Selling Jaeger foodstuffs is solid to get him up.

[steep tendon]

ill learn some maps and try again

[calm marsh]

But again, I scav constantly

[steep tendon]

all ik is customs

[calm marsh]

expanding the maps you know is great. People like different things

[thin yoke]

Interchange and lighthouse are super fun

[calm marsh]

For example I think customs is ass

[steep tendon]

not playing lighthouse

[calm marsh]

Why?

[steep tendon]

i get like 15 fpgs

[thin yoke]

Rip

[calm marsh]

Ahh. Can always try to optimize stuff

[steep tendon]

whole game is hard to run

not 15

im exaggerating

[thin yoke]

Yeah I think customs is overrated

[calm marsh]

I enjoy Reserve as a scav, don't care for it as PMC

[bleak cape]

for lighthouse set ur render distance to like 1000

[calm marsh]

Opinion may change if I get an RR

[steep tendon]

it is at 1000 LMAO

its always at 1000

[silver juniper]

yo why am i not extracting ?

[calm marsh]

Do you have it installed on an HDD or SSD

[steep tendon]

ssd

[silver juniper]

oh im dumb 🙂

[calm marsh]

What are your PC specs

What was the issue, Spoon? :p

[steep tendon]

gtx 1080 i7-7700

16 gb ram

[unique steeple]

Did u shit on ur pc then

[calm marsh]

You should be able to run it fairly well

[unique steeple]

Cuz it should be running fine with those soecs

[steep tendon]

i get like 70 fps on customs

[calm marsh]

Do you know if your pagefile is set up on an HDD or SSD?

[thin yoke]

@silver juniper bug maybe I’d try to find another extract if it’s not working

[smoky river]

hello i am new too dis game i am a lvl 3 i know the customs map some what but i always die when i go into pmc can i get any help

[calm marsh]

Basically when running at low performance I'd see what is throttling you in task manager

Dany, make sure you shoot the enemies before they shoot you

[silver juniper]

i got it i was just slightly too far forward, id thought that the exit box was bigger but its more sideways then towards there

[thin yoke]

Lmao

[silver juniper]

what do i do w bitcoin?

[elfin flicker]

#community-support

[steep tendon]

i dont think its my pc

i think its just tarkov

[dusk ember]

save ut

[steep tendon]

game is so horribly optimized

[dusk ember]

it

[steep tendon]

im getting 200 fps on valorant rn low settings

not sure if that helps

[unique steeple]

It’s connected to the irl price of btc so u could sell it now or wait til it goes up but it could also go down

[elfin flicker]

valorant is not like this lmao

[calm marsh]

With your specs, you can run it fine, is what we're saying. You may have to take the initiative to configure some things is all

[dusk ember]

need for barter later on

[silver juniper]

wait rly? thats actually cool 😄

[unique steeple]

What barter?

[silver juniper]

I can get another from d oing gunsmith pt4 once i have a friend to drop me a mag

[dusk ember]

what you made you think they were similar?

[steep tendon]

what is fine? i have a 165 hz monitor so even 80 fps feels like shit

[unique steeple]

Yes bro

[elfin flicker]

i never said they were

[calm marsh]

If you're gonna whine about 80 fps, dunno what to tell you, enjoy

[silver juniper]

can i flea/trader all of this crap or do i needa save any? ( other then the btc )

https://i.imgur.com/WvY31fA.jpeg

[steep tendon]

not whining lmao

[dusk ember]

you need 10/15 bitcoin for something but i forgot exactly which one

[steep tendon]

just saying even 80 fps will feel bad thats all

[unique steeple]

It’s 10 btc for a weapon case barter if that’s what u mean

[steep tendon]

its a 165 hz my boy

[calm marsh]

20 BTC for a thicc weapon case, but selling it for roubles is also pretty viable if he's planning on setting up a farm later

[dusk ember]

bolts, tool kit,

[placid sentinel]

what are your guys' thoughts on this: "In general, avoid 5.45 unless you have good ammo, but especially the AKS-74u"

[calm marsh]

The monitor being 165hz affects the cap of what your monitor can display, it doesn't mean 80fps looks worse than it otherwise would.

[unique steeple]

In general avoid 545 at all costs

[dusk ember]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOIU2ubBaIo&t=1s&ab_channel=Rengawr

[placid sentinel]

sheeeeit, im gonna be making a lot of room then haha

[steep tendon]

no, but it feels like shit bro lol

have u ever got 70 fps on a monitor thats 144 hz or higher?

it feels terrible

[dusk ember]

google what you need for quest items. save those. sell the rest. otherwise you get stuck on quests that require found in raid shit

[silver juniper]

.45 the only 5 you need

[steep tendon]

i just needa upgrade my pc

[pearl pier]

food and duplicated keys

also the pressures gauge and thermometer

[placid sentinel]

wait can you quickly explain why

[dusk apex]

what would be the quickest way to go from 10 to 15

[silver juniper]

quests or killing tons of men on factory prolly

[dusk ember]

Questing is always fastest way to lvl

[unique steeple]

My preference, but it’s just overall shit,I haven’t tried the new ammo for it tho, the 7n40 although it seems very rare

There’s just better alternatives for it

[dusk ember]

headshots specifically can save you hours of leveling

[dusk apex]

quest do get a bit difficult with lower gear

[placid sentinel]

Thanks, mate

[pearl pier]

no wonder why my 5.45 guns almost always gets returned through insurance

[dusk ember]

agreed. where do you get stuck

[eager pagoda]

hey im kinda new to tarkov im lvl 7rn anyone want to play ?

[delicate temple]

would anyone like to team up? i dont know much about anything.

[pearl pier]

which quest are you stuck on?

[unique steeple]

So far only used it in 2 raids and that was to get punisher 4 done

[pearl pier]

But damn

[vestal crater]

aanyone know how often reshala spawns? ive been going to gas and dorms so frequently and i still havent seen him

[pearl pier]

I can’t imagine how much raids I would’ve survived if I took a 762 instead of a 545

[dusk ember]

he can also spawn at zb-013 extract building

[unique steeple]

I’ve mostly seen him at fortress this wipe

[vestal crater]

is that at zb-013 extract building?

[dusk ember]

yes sorry fortress

next to crack house

[unique steeple]

Indeed

[pearl pier]

Is it possible for barrel caches to have absolutely shit loot?

[unique steeple]

Yes

[pearl pier]

I once got a single bandage from the giving tree cache that I spawned next to

[unique steeple]

Yeah thats just unlucky but it can happen

[dusk ember]

youre going to need them for your hideout

last checked around 50k

-60k*

[cunning lion]

How does one get tagged and cursed

And would it be wise to load into customs with just a pistol to get operation aquarius part 2 done

[dusk ember]

yes

[magic chasm]

USEC or BEAR, heard BEAR guns are easier to customize

[dusk ember]

your better option of armored rigs from to lvls 25 or so

aquarius isnt a notable quest that you NEED to get done. if theres another quest do that until you have multiple quest on customs

[merry berry]

bear gives you russian voicelines and AKs to start, usec gives you english voicelines and M4s

[cunning lion]

Yeah that's probably a better idea

[merry berry]

95% of people go USEC and then you can never find bears to kill

[hollow summit]

Hello could anyone give me only one purple ornament? Would need only 1 more but im gonna run out of the time :c

[merry berry]

yes and have their dogtags FIR

:)

[magic chasm]

so basically BEAR makes you more of a target

[merry berry]

no not really

people can barely tell scavs and PMCs apart

short of pressing F1 they won't be able to tell

unless they are insanely observant or you're wearing nothing

[merry vapor]

how much head this key worth?

[west plover]

well, I don't know if it's possible to list on the market but people have said it's valuable because of the several loot spawn chance

[river ravine]

anybody wanna team with a noob

[digital fern]

Anyone willing to squad up with me and teach me a few things, just help me wrap my head around the game?

[ancient nacelle]

how do you find extracton points

or in other words escape from tarkov

[digital fern]

Click O two times or a few and it should show the current open ones, then you have to find the right one, depending on the name it will help, you can find maps online

[merry berry]

you look up a map on your 2nd monitor or do a lot of offline raids

[ancient nacelle]

o ok thanks a ton

you think i have a second monitor im so poor

[merry berry]

then you must learn the power of alt tabbing

[halcyon wedge]

Or phone

[ancient nacelle]

yeah that makes sense

yeah phone

[halcyon wedge]

Just make sure nobody is around

[ancient nacelle]

ye

[halcyon wedge]

I’ve died to many times doing that

[ancient nacelle]

hehe

[digital fern]

Guys just buy a 70 inch flatscreen tv and hang it up on the wall and put the map on it

So much cheaper

[ancient nacelle]

true

[pearl pier]

i just alt tab because my eyes will be off the game anyway

[quaint onyx]

you can fit all teh maps on there

also you could print paper maps and hang them to the wall

[dusk wraith]

xmas tree poofs in a few hours? or do we have time to finish crafts?

[digital fern]

What should I do while I wait for scav cooldown?

[quaint onyx]

play on your pmc

[digital fern]

Im very loot worried

[digital fern]

whats a good beginner PMC map

[tough oyster]

this just refreshed?

[vapid bane]

how do i get leatherman multi tool

[tough oyster]

cant buy it

[pearl pier]

buy it from mechanic

[pearl pier]

customs

a lot of beginner quests take place there

[digital fern]

How can I get quest

[worthy stream]

None, they all suck for different reasons but have their benefits. I would do a rat run on the map you usually play on your scav.

Customs has a lot of beginner quests, but is terrible for money in comparison to other maps and has way more gigachads than anyone would like simply for dorms marked room and reshala hunting.

Woods has a lot of food, a lot of value spawns and several med spawns. This is great for beginners as typically beginners need food and med quest items, and especially money. However, this map is insanely difficult to learn.

Interchange has a lot of technical spawns, where you can find gas analyzers, and things you can either sell for good money and use for your hideout. Hard to navigate and pvp in as a new player tho. I would recommend doing interchange night time if you're comfortable with night raids, and if you really want to kill time for your scav, just do a stash run (You never have to enter the mall and rarely encounter other players doing this as long as you're not moving too quickly at the start of the raid, while making some reasonable money in the short time it takes to do this. Look up an interchange stash guide on youtube.)

I would recommend these, but really any map you're competent at will be best. A map with lots of loot is worthless if you don't know where to find any of it.

[restive furnace]

Lvl 2 looking for group to do the starter quests

[worthy stream]

I get the salewa quest done by finding them either in reserve med rooms, or at the med spawns on woods. I really wouldn't have any other clue as to where to farm for these, but I'm sure some other experienced players have other suggestions.

[real granite]

does anyone know what to do when you lose all your inventory and your fence rep is -3 😦

my scav run is 45 minutes

[merry berry]

what level are you

[real granite]

level 14

[worthy stream]

g r i n d. Also this is why you don't waste your scav karma before you stop being broke

[real granite]

i killed santa on accident

3 times

[merry berry]

I'd say consider resetting your account

[real granite]

this is my first wipe

[worthy stream]

Don't reset your account, you're 1 level away from market

Also F, accidental santa kill = rip rep

Yes, to therapist

[digital fern]

Whats a task that I should do

Ive nver done a task

[rain vortex]

is it worth it to run labs with just a keycard, no colors?

[vestal widget]

can anyone here spare me 4 bear dogtags above level 15? Im trying to do the RSASS trade

[worthy stream]

Yes but if you're asking this in beginner chat there's a solid chance that you haven't played enough labs to know the loot spawns, how to farm raiders, and how to not get bodied by the lvl 40+ gigachads that will also be there.

[wicked elm]

i cant aim

anyone wanna help me out

i do

im just bad lol

i can aim in other gamnes just not this one

[worthy stream]

do factory offline raids and kill scavs until u gitgud. Once u gitgud, set the scav amount to horde and scav difficulty to insane. It will replace all of the scavs with raiders, although I don't think they coordinate like a normal raider group.

[wicked elm]

ok

ty

[worthy stream]

Be sure to practice point firing while you do that. There are times in tarkov where point firing is more effective than ADS

[hallow sphinx]

have they announced when Christmas event will end ?

[lilac narwhal]
