beginners-assistance

[zinc canopy]

Maybe record them and watch them back

[cunning lion]

Honestly I dont know specific spots but I find them everywhere

[brittle canyon]

all over interchange

[balmy peak]

I found 2 measuring tapes right next to each other at the mini construction site at lighthouse

[primal breach]

really? no way

[balmy peak]

Can the electric drill spawn there too?

[safe pollen]

I mean I’ve only played customs, coz im new

[crude grail]

can i drop a gif here

[safe pollen]

So that’s probably why

[crude grail]

game related

[cunning lion]

Theres a two story building in customs

[quaint onyx]

if its not a meme

[safe pollen]

I can’t wait for dlss to come to the game

[cunning lion]

By ZB-1011 or whatever

[crude grail]

nah not a meme

[hollow coyote]

same!

[crude grail]

hol up lemme grab it

[quaint onyx]

yea bro 4k 144fps

[crude grail]

its like the only death i have recorded and i like to think i kept calm enough until the end

[cunning lion]

Two story building by the silos on customs has loads

[mellow elm]

@crude grail Also where are you finding yourself dying a lot? Is it out in the open? In CQC? etc

[cunning lion]

Sorry wrong room

[crude grail]

both. i never win lol. if the only person has a chance fire back at me i lose.

[cunning lion]

Its next to greenscreen room

[valid hatch]

you'll find measuring tapes in jackets filing cabinets toolboxes dufflebags stashes etc

basically everywhere

[cunning lion]

Maybe you're not used to the recoil

[mellow elm]

Yeah I really just think its overall experience. Just keep playing and you will get a better understanding of where people are and where u could be getting shot from. Im still very new but I understand most of my deaths are just due to my poor play.

[cunning lion]

Again without a clip or anything we dont have much to go off of

[crude grail]

recoil is definitely a nightmare

[cunning lion]

Control them bursts and tap fire

Also your PMC kinda does a bit of recoil management themself so its kinda weird

[primal breach]

less now tho

"significantly less" as they said

[crude grail]

gif inc

[cunning lion]

Its still there on some weapons

[crude grail]

okay so i concede that i lost this fight regardless what happened and right before i died it turned into panic shooting. but i felt like i was accurate enough and end screen said i hit him once

[swift acorn]

do i need tank battery for future tasks?

[brittle canyon]

search regulated materials

[brittle canyon]

adar? or single firing m4?

[crude grail]

adar

[brittle canyon]

also what ammo

yeah no don’t run adars

[crude grail]

uhhh when i took this prob 855

[mellow elm]

That guy not dying there is 100% ammo lol

[brittle canyon]

855? that got you killed

[mellow elm]

And his armor

[cunning lion]

855 is rough man

[crude grail]

im litereally crafting 855a1 as we speak lmao

[earnest sail]

one thing I've noticed myself, is that if you die in the same spot a lot of times, you may want to avoid it, go around it or come there later (if its for a quest for example)
for example, I've noticed, that I have died at the dirt bridge which connects ruaf roadblock and big red, so I try to go on the big bridge or other dirt bridge on the other side rather

[brittle canyon]

don’t run 556 until you unlock 856a1

[mellow elm]

nice

[cunning lion]

So what you're saying is... become a mosin boi

[earnest sail]

thats one of the best guns to take when u dont got flea man

[cunning lion]

Mosin bois rise up

[brittle canyon]

trash ammo singlefire yeah no

[crude grail]

for the record i think i was like level 15ish when that video was taken

[brittle canyon]

might as well take a mossberg

[earnest sail]

855 is decentish for starters

[crude grail]

23 now. not any better but more access to stuff lmao

[brittle canyon]

it’s literally 545 ps equivalent

it’s bottom tier

[hollow coyote]

how do you unlock 856a1? Just with Hawks or?

[crude grail]

ive had decent results with flachette lmao

[brittle canyon]

peacekeeper

the cult pt2 I think? maybe

or some other quest

[hollow coyote]

ah ok, thanks

[crude grail]

ya im working on pk for that very reason

[earnest sail]

I popped off with an adar with 855 yesterday on shoreline when doing quests, was proud of myself lol, never have killed 2 stacked bois

[cunning lion]

Its part 1

[crude grail]

i ahve a bunch of 556 guns i dont even wanna run bc ammo

[cunning lion]

My fat fingers man

[crude grail]

i did find a 7.62 mk17 earlier stoked about using that eventually lol

[brittle canyon]

any gun “pops off” under the right circumstances… i.e. headtap unshielded face

what matters is how it performs against actual threats, armor and all

[earnest sail]

nah, that wasnt cuz of the gun, I guess I got lucky and didnt panic

[cunning lion]

Full auto 7.62x51 is an experience my guy

[earnest sail]

I cant take a cms with me cuz I just got an alpha case, so the guy with an ak blacked out my leg and arms, but I got out somehow

[zinc canopy]

Old sa bro that was great

[cunning lion]

God I hated the old SA58

Eyes to the skies baby

[brittle canyon]

cms is 15k put your salewa up your ass and cms in backpack comes out cheaper

liberally abuse jaegar’s nippers trade

also tankbats dropped to 500k so perfect time to get beta if you’re not good with rushing punisher

[runic falcon]

how long has the update been going on for?

[cunning lion]

Like 10 more minutes?

[brittle canyon]

check how old the tweet is

[brittle canyon]

also you were in a really bad position to even consider taking that fight

[hollow coyote]

1 hour 45 mins

[runic falcon]

ty

[balmy peak]

Shall I start to fully mod weapons when I unlock flea? Because I don't have a lot of weapon mods in my stash and there aren't any crazy scopes, grips or suppressors from the traders unless I'm missing something

[inland marlin]

nope

[crude grail]

i dont think my position is why i died. it was a 1v1 and i lost

[cunning lion]

Yeah stick to what you have from traders honestly

[brittle canyon]

backed up to a corner with little cover, and you shoot one guy running sideways (hard to hit), another one shows up, you’re now in 2v1 situation in a terrible spot

[inland marlin]

weapon modding starts at level 3 traders really

[earnest sail]

on the topic of guns
before flea i just used to run whatever I had, aks that I got from raids or adars/m4s, uley armor and ssh68 helmet
Now that I got flea unlocked, anyone wanna recommend good gun, armor and helmet setups I should run that wont break my balance in 2 raids?

[brittle canyon]

keep within your budget

[cunning lion]

It wouldnt be a bad position if they died

[brittle canyon]

stuff you can source from traders is cheap

[brittle canyon]

rfb m80 lol use it while it’s good

soon people’s armor is gonna start outclassing it

[earnest sail]

hmm so I usually have an alu splint, goldenstar/vaseline, ifak/afak and spare ammo in my container, what do u recommend me to get/use rather? I dont need that cms very often, but when I do, it sucks

[swift acorn]

when will servers be up again?

[cunning lion]

#eft-announcements

10 minutes barring extensions

[swift acorn]

ite

[brittle canyon]

some maps you don’t need a cms because exfils are close

[swift acorn]

thx

[brittle canyon]

but on others just accept the 15k downpayment

cms in bag

meds in ass

[cunning lion]

I dont wanna loot nippers tho

[brittle canyon]

buy it lol

[crude grail]

i have had decent results with rfb

[cunning lion]

I wish I could

[brittle canyon]

work on it then

[cunning lion]

I am

Almost there

[static nebula]

how many kills did you guys get in the last half hour

[cunning lion]

None

Cause the servers are down

[earnest sail]

none, because the games been offline

[static nebula]

😉

there is no queue if the servers are down

[crude grail]

whats a good way too acclimate myself to pvp and aiming at people? i have a lot of trouble getting my aim down in this game for some reason and i wanna work on it.

[flint estuary]

probably offline with AI

[earnest sail]

@brittle canyonalso about that tank battery, how much is a beta then all together?

[crude grail]

ya but ai is too predictable

except when they prone lmfao

[zinc canopy]

I just ran a shit ton of dorms

Might not be the best but it was alright

[crude grail]

that might be a good call. i thin a big part of my issue is my nerves and expecting to be defeated after so many losses

[zinc canopy]

Get some keys and learn the jackets then just keep running it

[earnest sail]

also if you get fucked too much, I suggest playing with someone

[crude grail]

im mkaing fine progress on the game its just the pvp that im super bad at lmao

[earnest sail]

I tried playing this game for 2 wipes solo, quit everytime. This wipe found someone nice to play with, they arent super good at pvp, but they know a lot

[zinc canopy]

Even just having someone who has ears and eyes is insanely helpful

[bleak gyro]

Anyone have any idea how many tasks does it take for prapor to reach level 2?

[crude grail]

i think ill just try to seek out more pvp. best way to get better is gonna be to do it

[quaint onyx]

also maybe watch videos and streams

to get ideas

[crude grail]

thats all ive done for years lmao

[quaint onyx]

then you just need to apply it

[neat flicker]

Would I get any more money from disassembling a weapon and selling each part individually as opposed to the whole weapon?

[quaint onyx]

if its under 60 dura yes

[neat flicker]

If above just sell the weapon directly?

[quaint onyx]

also in some rare cases you migh tget more from flea

[neat flicker]

I don’t have the flea yet

[earnest sail]

honestly I wouldnt bother

the amount more you would get is not worth the effort imo

[fast wadi]

tho easier to boost other traders

[earnest sail]

maybe

[fast wadi]

since you only need to sell the core to fence

[neat flicker]

Well I’m still completely clueless

Can’t find any selewas or shotguns

But it’s a fun learning experience 🙂

[earnest sail]

unlock jaeger and buy the shotguns from him, salewas just you will find overtime or you can craft them in your hideout

[crude grail]

once you learn some med spawn areas selewas will be a thing of the past

[neat flicker]

I just hoard loads of the junk items cause I just don’t know what I need at this point

[neat flicker]

Learning what loot crates there are and where they spawn is what I’m working on now

[crude grail]

its a long process

i sold everything exceot keys until 15

[earnest sail]

this game is a complete nightmare to learn solo

I just kept doign a lot of scavruns and buying junkboxes, filling them up

[neat flicker]

I know most extracts besides from scav extracts, now I’m just getting used to locating them and also loot spawns

[crude grail]

if i sold somethign that happened to be worth 150 million then that would have been an expensive lesson. just send it imo

[neat flicker]

How did you get enough for the junkbox, it’s so expensive

[crude grail]

sell everything

[tepid depot]

I am very new to this game. I think the start is just running into a meat grinder, but I picked 2 maps and spent a little bit of time offline and then did a lot of scav runs so I could move more freely to make sure I know how to get out of maps

[neat flicker]

Yeah I’ve done mostly off lines

Feel like doing some more today actually

[gloomy glade]

is it just me or should there be more PMC extracts on the top end of the map on customs?

[civic swallow]

What are a couple of recommended budget guns from level two traders?

[crude grail]

RFB is a good option

[tepid depot]

I think using the compass could be really useful. I just got it today so im gonna be able to quickly figure out what direction my goals or extracts are when i spawn in

[neat flicker]

Actually selling stuff would be a good idea since my stash is pretty full. I do have a lot of backpacks though. How many backpacks do you tend to carry in your stash?

[crude grail]

compass is real valuable in woods

when its just trees lol

try not to hoard a million things. you can also put backpacks in backpacks

[tepid depot]

Yeah definitely. I think going into a raid with a plan and orientating yourself quick is essential to this learning process

[main brook]

servers back up?

[neat flicker]

I haven’t found a compass yet, it would be nice if it was granted be default though

[fast wadi]

sell every backpack that is smaller than a daybag

[tepid depot]

I got mine as a quest reward

[hearty magnet]

You get it as a quest reward

[fast wadi]

You get a compass doing Finding the Convoy Quest

[crude grail]

the only thing i would recommend that you not sell is keys. many are very valuable and you may have gotten super lucky

[neat flicker]

Oh, is it like a permanent upgrade or can you lose it?

[flint estuary]

I dont know if you know this but there is a quest that gives you the compass

[fast wadi]

permanent

[pearl pier]

is the game still down?

[crude grail]

i had a w301 at level 5 and im glad i kept it lol

[fast wadi]

it's a no drop slot

[pearl pier]

what else can you put in the compass slot

[neat flicker]

I’ve got a key but I’m not sure which map it’s for. Atm I’m just playing customs. Apparently loot is very different for each map though so I might broaden my horizons soon

[fast wadi]

compass

[earnest sail]

I usually keep 1-2 bags.
try to keep bags that give you more space than it takes

[quaint onyx]

in future the rangefinder

[crude grail]

nothign rn. ive heard theyre gonna let you put rangefinder there or an item thats both

[hearty magnet]

Light house has a lot of loot

[neat flicker]

Basically all my bags are huge, but most are just filled with stuff that can’t fit in the stash

[crude grail]

i would literally just sell everything you have

except keys and food and guns you intend to use

[quaint onyx]

i wish theyd add the ability to smoke cigarettes in the game

[fast wadi]

or take the long route and check what items you need for the immediate future

[lunar herald]

Is the game down?

[hot cipher]

Anyone EU wanna duo or more?

[neat flicker]

Ngl, I haven’t found a single food item at all in all my playtime

[crude grail]

food/water mechanic is absolutely awful

[hearty magnet]

They should make it level up stress resistance lmao

[tepid depot]

The only reliable food source I found was in the bunker on Reserve. There is a massive food crate, dangerous though as its close to PMC extract

[earnest sail]

check out what they keys are for in the wiki. I'd suggest keeping keys that you need for quests that you dont have yet, if u got any keys worth a lot on the flea, keep them until flea. Some keys are just completely useless that you can just sell to traders. Use tarkov-market.com

[hearty magnet]

Goshan in interchange the best food spawns

[crude grail]

doesnt help that theres only one good pmc extract on that map either lol

[tepid depot]

facts lol

Fuck pulling that lever which sets off an alarm lol

[neat flicker]

Yeah it sounds like other maps have more specialised loot. If interchange is good for food spawns, what is customs used for?

[crude grail]

or fliping d2 and walking 400 miles in extract camper heaven

[earnest sail]

customs is good for keys and quest items

[hearty magnet]

Interchange is a mall, it has many different shops

[earnest sail]

interchange is great for tech items/food items

[crude grail]

never had a good raid on interchange lmao

[hollow coyote]

I had 1 very good one and couldn't find the extract lol

[earnest sail]

I only do scav runs on interchange

[crude grail]

i exclusively scav reserve. extracts are super great and theres sooo much loot.

[hearty magnet]

When you need gpu's for bitcoin farm go rush tech stores and shove them in your pouch lol

[earnest sail]

I've learned where every extract, exit and store is. Have gotten like 3 bitcoins, 3 tetrises, 2 gpus and a bunch of other stuff for the hideout/quests/for selling

[crude grail]

and theres a ton of grenade boxes and a good nade can net you a free scav boss kill lmao

[hearty magnet]

You lose scav rep for that

[pure mist]

Honestly gpu getting rare on interchange

[crude grail]

shrug

[runic canopy]

interchange is by far the best map

[earnest sail]

true. I think the best way is to get lucky with an early raid scav run, and check out the PC rooms in ikea and oli

thast where I found one of mine

[fast wadi]

with how many people clench their buttcheeks, is that a wonder?

[hearty magnet]

Just run to the 3 tech shops

[earnest sail]

if they havent been looted yet ofc

[earnest sail]

they are almost everytime looted already or pmcs swarming if its an early raid

depends where you spawn in or what you need, or how early/late the raid is

[hearty magnet]

Thats why I said to rush the tech shops and shove em in your pouch

Before anyone gets there

[earnest sail]

im talking about scav, but yeah

[hearty magnet]

Yeah im saying if you want gpus for bitcoin farm

[earnest sail]

all the times I went in interchange as a PMC, I've died. its too tactical

[crude grail]

getting into the mall is the hardest part lmao

[earnest sail]

in other maps u can just walk around and hide/ escape but not in interchange, too many chads

[crude grail]

a shot gets taken at me within a minute of spawn most interchange raids

[earnest sail]

mhm

[deft dew]

Could you recommend a video on a route as a Reserve scav?

Or just any Reserve loot route video applies w/o keys?

[mild kettle]

helicopter.

I also reserve scav, but if I need food I normally go to interchange

[main brook]

any idea when the servers will be back up?

[deft dew]

I still need tons of tech stuff for hideout and the damn gas analyzer quest

[mellow matrix]

run your scav on woods guys

lighthouse maybe

[deft dew]

this

[mild kettle]

can craft them with 3 christmas ornaments

my last one is finishing up now - unless they take the hideout tree away before it finishes

[main brook]

christmas tree is gone

[deft dew]

well I haven't found any purple ones during the entire event so I don't have the christmas tree

[mellow matrix]

woods is really easy to survive as a scav and there is TONS of high value loot that sells good to traders

[mild kettle]

then I still need one more 😦

[crude grail]

i loot black and white knight and it alarmist never looted. lots of gun attachments. and they flea for a lot.

almost lol

[main brook]

i get 15 min queus for reserve scav runs

[mild kettle]

I've got to try woods scav

[crude grail]

if they happen to be looted i check black or white pawn on my way to hole in wall extract

[earnest sail]

not too hard as a scav

[earnest sail]

sameeeee

[crude grail]

safes for purple ornaments not that it matters now.

[bleak cradle]

i havent been able to load into a game for 10 days now

[glossy trench]

any news on the servers? still down?

[serene reef]

any ETA on the update?

[deft dew]

well I always died before I even managed to get to any safe lol

[crude grail]

tarcone key has a pretty accessible safe behind it

[serene reef]

^

not looted half the time too

[earnest sail]

whys that?

[serene reef]

chads from red side dont want to waste time

[crude grail]

if tarcone is open prob someone questing lol

[sleek path]

they will be down for AGES because of shitty servers ect you probably wont be able to connect to the game when they have opened the game bc of the trash servers

[serene reef]

or someone is searching for flash drives

or ornaments

[crude grail]

i found 3 flash drives in the same room lol

[glossy trench]

i like you optimism

[crude grail]

i was like. welp. we’re leaving.

[serene reef]

you'd be surprised

apart from few gateway errors

i actually had no problems whatsoever

grew some patience and played with p much no errors whatsoever

[earnest sail]

I havent gotten any flash drives yet, damn prapor quest

[serene reef]

go safes

like dorms

[deft dew]

Do the 2 flash drives for the Skier quest count even if not FIR? Do you have to extract with them?

[serene reef]

you need them FiR

aka you need to extract w/ em

[crude grail]

i found them on the pier building on shoreline. there’s a few pcs upstairs

[earnest sail]

source? are you an engineer at BSG?

thats what I thought

[sleek path]

who asked?

[earnest sail]

clearly I just asked

[sleek path]

what do you think?

[earnest sail]

stop spreading misinformation

[serene reef]

there are two safes there

xD

[sleek path]

how is it misinformation?

[deft dew]

imagine spending the downtime of a game you like shitting on the service instead of just playing something else

[long quail]

At what point in the game should you start using better gear? I currently use a 250k modded ak and level 4 helmet and armour etc. But my stash is worth 25m and I have 2 mill in cash. At what point is it worth using level 5/gear and better guns? Also feel like I die alot vs Chad's with better gear haha so hoping it levels the playing field a little?

[serene reef]

because you're saying whatever the frick you want because you're tilted

[crude grail]

there’s also two pcs you can check for flash drives in the back of the van on customs

[serene reef]

and it's not even close to anything objective

it carries zero actual info

[earnest sail]

there are no "bad" or "good" servers, its because of how the game works.

[quaint onyx]

what else?

[sleek path]

i'm playing something else?

[fathom thicket]

why does killing santa take away so much fence karma, if there is an event that "makes you loose" scav karma will there be one to gain some more in other way than car extract, scav raids?

[mellow matrix]

you should start using it as soon as you feel comfortable doing so and feel like you can afford to

[earnest sail]

it doesnt matter what servers or how many they get, it all is because the game hasnt been optimized, and its still in developement

[serene reef]

you should use your best

all the time imo

[crude grail]

just remember that good runs don’t make you better at the game. it’s an expensive lesson to learn

[serene reef]

cause stuff loses value the higher lvl you are

[crude grail]

good guns i mean

[serene reef]

that god tier meta m4

from 800k goes to easily obtainable 200k

[long quail]

Okay ill start taking a look at what is meta gear I'm level 19 on my 1st wipe lol so idk what I should be buying and just buy what I can get from traders

[mellow matrix]

and remember use good ammo. Just GOOD GOOD ammo. The gun can be a stock ak-103 and with BP it will do better than a 200k AK-74M super modded with 5.45 BP or PS

[serene reef]

good ammo is more important than good guns

i'd rather use a sa58 para without a mag

[deft dew]

my second FPS is Hunt: Showdown, significantly more chill after I started playing Tarkov

[serene reef]

but with good ammo

than use a meta m4 with m855

[crude grail]

the pain of 855

playing paintball

[mellow matrix]

ok the without mag part is a bit much but generally yes xD

[serene reef]

im trying to play m856a1

[long quail]

Difficult to get good ammo though without having trader's level 3/4?

[serene reef]

and that feeling when it doesnt onetap

[mellow matrix]

i HATE that with passion

[serene reef]

is the FRICKING WORST

[dreamy summit]

User action required?

[deft dew]

well you could be, and having fun doing it, but instead you're in a discord aimed to help beginners expressing your opinion that won't even do anything except spread your saltiness to other people

[crude grail]

you can craft decent ammo around at level 2 workbench

[mellow matrix]

im just not gonan use 5.56 guns till i can buy 55a1 fom traders

[serene reef]

i'd rather have a trusty weapon that will onetap

like even a pistol with 1 bullet

than something that shoots well but needs 200 thorax shots vs a slick

[crude grail]

55a1 is from a quest from pk so keep doing his stuff and you’ll get it

[serene reef]

yeah

[mellow matrix]

i need lvl too

[crude grail]

the cult i think

[serene reef]

im slowly headed towards that

[mellow matrix]

its like 37 ?

38 ?

[serene reef]

i just got his tigr safari

[crude grail]

hey i just did that one earlier

hope you like marking stuff

[mellow matrix]

ye the worst part is marking the dorms marked circle

for cult pt2 i think

[dreamy summit]

anyone can explain me why I cant log in to the game? it says user action required?'

[crude grail]

cause servers are down

[mellow matrix]

servers down

[hollow coyote]

update it up boys

[dreamy summit]

oh so its not my pc or account

[hollow coyote]

try refresh now

[mellow matrix]

no

[sleek path]

fair enough

[crude grail]

most likely nah

[dreamy summit]

I see a update now, ty

[crude grail]

i got a weekly for jaeger and it’s ez pretty stoked on that

that sweet sweet .05 rep

[hollow coyote]

what lvl are you, just curious

[gilded swallow]

Is the game up now? And are xmas crafts that were ongoing deleted or completed or can we start new ones?

[crude grail]

23

[glossy trench]

game is back on

[barren sapphire]

there are no xmas crafts anymore dude...

[gilded swallow]

I put my weapons crate on like 2 hours before the update. Rip me. Are all baubles auto deleted from inventory?

[crude grail]

i fucking hope so lol

[mellow matrix]

the ornaments are not deleted

[languid temple]

crafts gone so who cares

[hidden ermine]

should i sell or play the scav?

[mellow matrix]

my wallet

[mellow matrix]

wdym sell the scav

[hidden ermine]

well extract and sell his stuff and not risk it?

[mellow matrix]

always go loot, fill your bag and then exract on your scavs

[severe river]

So where are the patch notes?

[mellow matrix]

unless you spawn with somehing insane

like a very rare key or thermal scope

[pearl pier]

wait so are ornaments useless now?

[autumn glade]

what do I do with empty gas cans

[hidden ermine]

is it valuble?

[tepid depot]

Fantastic news. I did not lose anything when the server went down

[neat flicker]

Can I do scav raids with friends?

[vagrant mirage]

yeah just invite them as you would in a normal PMC Raid after the insurance screen

[sick rapids]

yes

[sick rapids]

https://tarkov-market.com/item/Slim_diary . usefull for the future 😉

[glacial leaf]

anyone know any way to get the thicc weapon case trade w/ jaeger 4 before it sells out? it was redded out when I tried to do it from the flea

[serene reef]

the thicc weapon or just weapon?

why go for the thicc

[glacial leaf]

trying to trade 2wep for the thicc

[serene reef]

yeah but why

[glacial leaf]

cuz its smaller D:

for more space

[serene reef]

yeah but

you actually get more storage

for 2 wep

[glacial leaf]

if you have 2

yeah its ok

[serene reef]

like last wipe

i was lvl 50

and i sat on 7? 9?

wep cases

didnt want to trade them into thicc ones

[gilded osprey]

Hello

[pearl pier]

lvl 6 armor D:

[glacial leaf]

you where shooting what?

[finite terrace]

idk man

[severe river]

[finite terrace]

upper chest with shotgun mid-close range hoping to get a head shot

[glacial leaf]

flesh bullets would do that

[severe river]

he doesn't know, that tells already a lot

[glacial leaf]

alot of shotgun shells have lke 3 armor pen

[finite terrace]

used flechette

[glacial leaf]

lord

[severe river]

my man this is not COD, physics and realism applies

[finite terrace]

idk how he blocked that much

[dire hull]

:KEKW:

[severe river]

You wont penetrate tungsten by shooting at it with a slingshot

[glacial leaf]

was he far?

[dire hull]

Can a STM9 become full auto? or not

[river rampart]

no

[runic canopy]

can somone help me with the 2 coustom quests wich both reuire key to open door

[dire hull]

sigh shame

[finite terrace]

i mean flechette rips through armor but that was probably class 6

was shooting mid range with shotgun to upper chest, surprised nothing hit his face but maybe he was wearing face shield

[bold kernel]

how do i change scope zoom

[untold elm]

ive spawned in 2 times in that corridor on factory and died within 5 seconds of moving.....

[icy forge]

what does it mean when the vendor/trader says offer was sold

its been sold since yesterday....

[narrow gull]

means no more in stock until reset

[untold elm]

is there any good full auto, low recoil guns at a low level (no trader levels)

[pearl pier]

where the fuck is D2 and why isn't it on the map

[opal cave]

how many helixes am i going to need for my hideout in total?

[opal cave]

its underground, was added in a later patch (i forget which iteration)

[pearl pier]

any requirements?

[opal cave]

i havent played much reserve this wipe, but iirc "dont get camped in the many, many shadowy spots" is the only real requirement

[runic canopy]

are shotguns good to just hipfire

[opal cave]

thanks to the likes of General Sam and Exfilcamper (great content creators btw) there are some very popular camping spots on the run to D2 exfil

[bold kernel]

what does the page up page down on a scope do?

[untold elm]

wiki says i need to extract, the game doesnt what do i do

[marble creek]

Gg.. scav 1 hr cd

[marble creek]

Follow wiki

[opal cave]

depends on the cartridge load, rate of fire, etc. a 153 or an ultima? absolutely, blast away. The pump actions? It's still worth aiming if you're in a position to

[opal cave]

it adjusts the reticle's zero point. you'll see a number in the bottom right when you ADS (usually in increments of 50, but depends on the scope) that's your current zero in metres

[main fog]

can anyone teach me how to farm light house? and the rogues so I can stop being poor lmao

[burnt vortex]

I'm trying to be a Samurai. I currently have Tagillas face mask. Is that a good piece of kit to go samurai'ing in

[pearl pier]

should i keep this?

[quaint onyx]

sell it to therapist

streamer item

[autumn glade]

use it in raid to instill fear in your enemys

[pearl pier]

can't sell it to her

ragman?

[burnt vortex]

Wear it

[quaint onyx]

oh wait yes it migh tbe ragman

[burnt vortex]

And cough over VOIP

Scare the fools who dare get near you

[narrow gull]

i want a chemical leak event

[bold kernel]

if you arent going for kappa(basically the last quest of the game to get it) then sell it cuz its kinda worthless

[narrow gull]

where if you don't wear a mask you get cultist toxin

fuck over all the people without flea

[runic canopy]

its so annoying how those starter quests all require some random ass key

[narrow gull]

but make it so your scav always has a mask, so you can get one from that

[brittle canyon]

once you actually find the convoy and camp a new requirement appears saying you need to exfil

[narrow gull]

a lot of those you can barter from therapist

[brazen umbra]

This game is so complicated i really need help

[runic canopy]

for alot of stuff thats rare to find]

[brazen umbra]

I broke both my legs and couldnt find my way to extraction

[narrow gull]

like what specifically?

[runic canopy]

med stuff n such or whatever u need for the keys

[narrow gull]

meds you can find at any med spawns, they're pretty common, like 1 pile per meds place pretty consistently

[runic canopy]

nah

[narrow gull]

the food for tarcone office you can get from goshan food corner

[brazen umbra]

Could someone explain what the difference in scav and pmc and what my objective is

[brittle canyon]

have a multiuse long painkiller (vaseline, goldenstar, ibuprofen) in your ass at all times

[narrow gull]

wdym nah, if you don't check med spawns that doesn't mean they don't exist

[brazen umbra]

Ok thanks

[brittle canyon]

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

[runic canopy]

i do check em just never find em

i always get random meds just not the pile

[brazen umbra]

I was just scared to lose stuff so i took a pistol

[narrow gull]

like what spawns do you check

[serene reef]

basically you want to lvl up your main character aka PMC to be able to get better gear

and scavs dont level you up

[runic canopy]

scavs have their own level though

[serene reef]

tbf

i would watch a beginner guide

or

this

this

[narrow gull]

hit dedicated spawns, like meth lab on customs, or med crates in fortress

or mantis on IC

[runic canopy]

right bcs i know where any of those are

[pearl pier]

where else can i find the bunkhouse key except for that place in Factory?

[narrow gull]

what maps do you know

[serene reef]

mapgenie.io/tarkov

[narrow gull]

there're med spawns on every single map

[serene reef]

and a lot of them at that

[brittle canyon]

jackets; farm dorms for earlygame quest keys

bring a docs or keytool

who knows you might luck out on a 600k key

[serene reef]

or even

[wet solar]

can someone help me in game? i need urgent help

[serene reef]

a 1 000 000+ key

[narrow gull]

that place on factory doesn't even spawn the key most of the time

[serene reef]

what with?

[brittle canyon]

yeah I ran the factory room six times last wipe and it never spawned

[serene reef]

yeah those spawns are almost always just meh

[brittle canyon]

didn’t even bother this wipe

[serene reef]

yup

game tells you to search for gas ana on factory

like

wdym

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brittle canyon]

it made sense back when customs was the big map and factory was the small map, and you had nothing else

[untold elm]

how much is factory room key?

[brittle canyon]

50k I think

[untold elm]

can you only get it from flea?

[serene reef]

jackets

you can get ANY key from jackets

thats why jackets good

[brittle canyon]

where do you think those people find the keys to put on the flea in the first place

[untold elm]

yeh i know im talking about buying it lol

[serene reef]

https://tarkov-market.com/item/factory_exit_key

[brittle canyon]

jaegar has a trade where you trade a used factory key and a bunch of food for a new factory key

[runic canopy]

I guess that was an easy factory quest

[untold elm]

is this the one on the same floor as the window extract?

if not whats that key called

[main fog]

Can anyone teach me how to run lighthouse?

[serene reef]

that key opens much more

[untold elm]

whats the name

[serene reef]

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

[left summit]

is shoreline a good map? never playd it

[untold elm]

thats the one on the same floor?

[brittle canyon]

all maps are good

[runic canopy]

besides woods

[serene reef]

Read. The. Link.

[left summit]

is shoreline a difficult map

[brittle canyon]

difficult in terms of what

[narrow gull]

woods is amazing, most people just don't have the time to learn it

[serene reef]

+1

woods is a pleasant map

[brittle canyon]

pleasant lmao

[wet solar]

nothing, i just had a bugged problem in game and i almost lost 500k+ worth of stuff in a raid cos of it. it fixed itself

[serene reef]

it kinda allows you to stand on top of rocks

[runic canopy]

nah woods is just tree 0 mapdesigne at all just tree here tree there rock here

[serene reef]

and people still dont gun you down

unlike shoreline xD

[wet solar]

very

[serene reef]

you're basically saying a painting is just few strokes because you're colorblind af

[wet solar]

id say its one of the most unpleasant

[narrow gull]

sniper mountain, fob, usec camp, sawmill, food village, sunken village, scav bunker, attachments shack

[wet solar]

but you are forced to play a lot on it for quests

[narrow gull]

there's plenty of stuff

[clear harness]

just got out with this stuff

[left summit]

why ?

[serene reef]

Nice!

[clear harness]

only had a veper hunter to start

[serene reef]

that's really good

[pearl pier]

why the fuck did my scav loot disappear

\

[brittle canyon]

you don’t deserve it

[pearl pier]

you gotta be kidding me

[runic canopy]

where can i get beef stew large searched oli like 10 times lol

[wet solar]

lots of open space with very little cover, very easy to rat. extracts very easily and often camped. loot is sparse except a few extremely risky areas that drag all the attention. the AI autolock unto you at 300m+ away and dont miss their shots at all, and very often you cant hide from them if you want to get closer. also sanitar and his guards can completely squad wipe you if you walk into them

[pearl pier]

Goshan

the northern corner

[runic canopy]

no i meant goshan

[wet solar]

also lots of cheaters, and sweaties playing in resort.

[pearl pier]

are you sure you're checking the right place

[serene reef]

you just dont know where to search

[thick cargo]

I cant find any flash drives

[serene reef]

you get 3-5 or even more per raid

[brittle canyon]

goshan left corner

[serene reef]

unless people already looted it

[runic canopy]

the sheleves where all the food spawns....

[brittle canyon]

if you’re late scavs already got them all

[wet solar]

safes, and rarely cabinets. keep checking safes. they are very common in them

[hasty lance]

anyone with cottage back door key want to open her up for me? haha

[brittle canyon]

and specific world spawns

customs has several

[serene reef]

:v

[brittle canyon]

one in the van near zb warehouse, one in the checkpoint side campfire

[left summit]

damn sound bad xD i have to do missions there

[runic canopy]

tf is that ugly map

[serene reef]

the one i use

https://i.redd.it/0vmgol467cm41.jpg

prob wont load too big i believe

[wet solar]

yes many important missions are there that you are forced to do if you want to unlock good ammo and other important shit

[untold elm]

my proudest tarkov moment 🥲

[serene reef]

if you think about it maps are there to LEARN not to keep being used

[spiral ocean]

for the kill scavs with no body armor quest can i use a armored rig?

[serene reef]

maps that are the most detailed but kept fairly simple are the best imo

[wet solar]

which maps?

[untold elm]

can anyone buy a factory emergency exit key for me then ill pay you +10k?

[wet solar]

its on flea for cheap

[untold elm]

im level 7 lol

[serene reef]

i end up preferring reddit ones

[wet solar]

you dont need it

[balmy peak]

which one shall I take to labs, riot helmet that has a face cover or a steel helmet with a headset

[icy forge]

they are pretty easy to find

[wet solar]

neither kekw

[icy forge]

just search lots of coats

[fleet epoch]

Monki's maps are great

[icy forge]

and file cabinets

[untold elm]

is it not a good money maker earlier on?

[fleet epoch]

You can extract from factory without the key

[serene reef]

why are you going to labs

xd

[icy forge]

i love maskens 3d maps

[wet solar]

lighthouse is better

[balmy peak]

cuz I have a access card lol

[wet solar]

until it gets nerfed

[untold elm]

ok lol ty

[fleet epoch]

Labs is really hard map it seems.

[serene reef]

labs is just

at least was

the most endgame?

[wet solar]

is the server shitting itself again? i cant turn in any of my quests

[serene reef]

you prob should expect high levels

with good gear

[fleet epoch]

I've been knocked back to main menu a few times, so yeah...still service issues

[still hamlet]

can someone get on? 😒

[hollow obsidian]

is it worth trying to uprage your hideout early on? im talking like lvl 10 n under

[runic canopy]

found like 3 white ones wich sell each for like 100k to therapist

[gloomy glade]

servers are not in a good way

@hollow obsidian if you can afford it, it has good crafts for missions and helps with other things

[ornate steppe]

yes

[icy forge]

seems like the hideout changes are bugging out

[ornate steppe]

upgrade hideout as much as you can because in a month or two bitcoin miner wont be worth investing in so if u get it early u can have it run all wipe and make profit

[hollow obsidian]

i wish i bought the more expensive version of tarkov because my stash is fucking tiny

i despise it

having to play tetris with the fucking items

[gloomy glade]

you can upgrade to EOD

[ornate steppe]

yeah just wait for a sale its manageable tho I played two wipes with a small stash and you can upgrade ur stash in the hideout

[wet solar]

once you learn how to level up fast and make lots of money, it wont matter too much. the main advantage of eod version is trader rep advantage

you can get epsilon relatively fast aswell

[hollow obsidian]

yeah im only level 2 lol im straight ass still

[wet solar]

yeah youre gonna take a couple weeks just learning the game

[hollow obsidian]

this is my first wipe

only game i played remotely like this was dayz

[autumn glade]

what is the best helmet from flea market?

[wet solar]

steep learning curve, you will die most of your raids, and lose lots of stuff. it will be frustrating, but you will learn a lot each raid and get slightly better

each time

[runic canopy]

ur fine with the steel helmet from ragman

[ornate steppe]

altyn or ryst -t

[runic canopy]

its like really good

and cheap

[autumn glade]

kolpak?

[ornate steppe]

too much money dont buy the ulach

[tacit perch]

in my opinion this game is like dayz, except better in every aspect lol

[ornate steppe]

60k and you will probably still get head eyes

[hollow obsidian]

yeah ive found a guy whos helping me out a bunch with map knowledge and loot routes so im slowly surviving longer and longer

[ornate steppe]

only helmets worth using is green steel helmet or altyn

[runic canopy]

yep

[autumn glade]

what is ryst? cant find

[runic canopy]

u can get it right from lvl 1

[ornate steppe]

its on flea

[autumn glade]

yeah cant find on flea

[hollow obsidian]

how long does each wipe last? is it a set time

[ornate steppe]

oh it cant be sold

[runic canopy]

steel helmet also lets u use gsh headset

[ornate steppe]

forgot about flea restrictions its a barter from max ragman

[neat flicker]

I’m new and I’m trying to avoid guides outside of spawns and extractions, I feel it’ll be more fun that way

[autumn glade]

I always buy ratnik from prapor lol

ig its shit?

[hollow obsidian]

yeah i dont have that much time on my hands

[autumn glade]

aight getting altyn

[upper steeple]

Hi, I'm new-ish, why didn't this person die?

I shot 3 mp133 shots close range, guy could still sprint and shoot. Even if blacked out thorax you can still sprint, is that right?

[hollow obsidian]

i want to have fun and not be completely suicidal by the end of it

[ornate steppe]

bring an extra face shield with you

[autumn glade]

what do I put altyn on

[ornate steppe]

so if your altyn face shield gets fucked up you can swap it out

a faceshield

[autumn glade]

altyn is a face siheld

[neat flicker]

What body parts did you hit?

[upper steeple]

thorax

[ornate steppe]

there is the actual helmet you might not have the trade yet

[autumn glade]

fuck lol

[ornate steppe]

its lvl 3 or 4 ragman i think

[autumn glade]

so I wasted money

[ornate steppe]

nah just save it for later

[hollow obsidian]

i was told that customs isnt a very good map to learn on as loads of sweats go there and camp dorms and crack house. is it worth just getting the first quest done and then learning a new map?

[ornate steppe]

reshalas guards have altyns without faceshields

so if u kill reshala'

[river yarrow]

How do I fix my game? When I click play, it checks the integrity for a second or two, then the button is grayed out for a minute and nothing happens. I've tried using "Check for Updates" - that doesn't do anything exither.

[ornate steppe]

they are wrong learn customs

[upper steeple]

I'm new too, customs' not bad imo, just be carfeful of dorms as there are a lot of campers. Woods much easier, at least for me, though.

[autumn glade]

ulach is only 50k

wdym overpriced

[hollow obsidian]

ok ok. they where saying reserve was a good map to learn

[neat flicker]

Idk then, if every shot landed on the thorax I don’t know how that’s possible

[ornate steppe]

ok they are trolling you that is the hardest map everyone has the same extract (D2) confusing underground buildings and very open map outside buildings

and raiders

but its good for loot

shouldnt be what learn firzst

[upper steeple]

I was like 2m and aiming thorax. I doubt I hit anything else, if anything, maybe arm? idk.

[autumn glade]

best armor from flea market? just bought ulach XD

money isnt a problem because I get like 300k per 10 min raid

[neat flicker]

Could have hit arm instead? Considering how they hold weapons that is certainly possible

[hollow obsidian]

oh well i dont think hes trolling he just likes the map. he gave me like 4 bitcoins for no reason

[ornate steppe]

yh yh I was just saying that for effect im sure your friend is nice :)

[eternal bough]

Who gave you 4 bitcoins? I'd like a friend that gives me stuff in this game 🙂 I seem to keep on getting killed attempting to complete Tasks

[autumn glade]

anything more I should bring?

[river yarrow]

How do I fix my game? When I click play, it checks the integrity for a second or two, then the button is grayed out for a minute and nothing happens. I've tried using "Check for Updates" - that doesn't do anything exither.

[ornate steppe]

repack ammo

[hollow obsidian]

i just put a lfg post on a different server and he popped up and walked me through all the basics and gave me some money to get me on my feet a lil bit. guess i got lucky

[autumn glade]

I don't have, I yoinked the gun and ammo from some guy I shit on last game

[neat flicker]

I’d bring more ammo to repack the mag, another mag too, some water and some food. But that’s just me and I’m completely clueless 🙂

[ornate steppe]

and replace the receiver of the gun so you can get full durability you can buy from mechanic

just buy m855

[eternal bough]

That's AWESOME!

[ornate steppe]

better that then nothing

[autumn glade]

it has m856a1

and 115 of them is enough I reckon

[ornate steppe]

nah trust me

you will use a lot of ammo in this game if you live

[autumn glade]

oh really

[hollow obsidian]

whats a good gun to use early on? as the m4a1 are basically just pea shooters unless i unload into a guys skull

[ornate steppe]

yeah durability only counts for the receiver not the other parts so you can buy a non functional m4 from flea and get full auto potential or buy the receiver from lvl 2 mechanci

and turn it into full auto

[autumn glade]

which one is receiver?

[hollow obsidian]

something a can afford losing

[autumn glade]

I don't even have lvl 2 mechanic yet

all level 1

[ornate steppe]

ah then you can

cant

srry man

[autumn glade]

its fine this ADAR is cracked

[river yarrow]

How do I fix my game? When I click play, it checks the integrity for a second or two, then the button is grayed out for a minute and nothing happens. I've tried using "Check for Updates" - that doesn't do anything exither.

[neat flicker]

This right here is why I’m afraid of attachments lol

[autumn glade]

tried in offline mode its 1000x better than my vpo which I normally use

[eternal bough]

Word from a another knolwedgeable player stated to build up your hideout. Focus on Tasks and Hideout buildout... The Hideout is under-rated and can REALLY help

[hollow obsidian]

whats a good gun to use early on? as the m4a1 are basically just pea shooters unless i unload into a guys skull

[pallid basalt]

Vpo, the one that looks like an ak or SKS with PS ammo

[eternal bough]

I wish in offline mode, you could save at least some of the stuff. now that I'm level 5, when I get killed, I lose a lot of money healing myself OR waiting about an hour for health to get back up

[autumn glade]

this kit is 70k to insure wtf

should I insure it?

I feel like not worth probably

[hollow obsidian]

how much is it?

as i only have 500k

[autumn glade]

yeah fun fact I got like half my current kit I showed from some guy I 1 tapped with vpo

vpo is only like 20k

from a trader

and PS ammo is 90 each

[hollow obsidian]

ok sweet

[river yarrow]

How do I fix my game? When I click play, it checks the integrity for a second or two, then the button is grayed out for a minute and nothing happens. I've tried using "Check for Updates" - that doesn't do anything exither.

[autumn glade]

but vpo is pretty trash lol

thank god I have flea market

[pallid basalt]

Not that expensive, I ran those till feal and even after. PS ammo is good on SKS or the VPO

[eternal bough]

Did you search on this error and see if there are any suggestions?

[pallid basalt]

They're also good to insure as most people won't even take them off of you when they kill you

[autumn glade]

should I insure this shit for 70k? Idk if people will pick the stuff up

[hollow obsidian]

ok ill give it a go. havent slept for 48 hours so im not confident in my reaction times rn

so ill tackle that task after ive slept

[pallid basalt]

If you play solo, don't do the armor cause it will get stolen 100%

[autumn glade]

50k without armor

[pallid basalt]

The ghzel is needed for a quest, especially if damaged

[autumn glade]

oh wtf

wont take gzhel then

[pallid basalt]

So it won't come back for sure

[pearl pier]

why do the servers seem less stable

[hollow obsidian]

wheres the best place to gobble scavs on customs

[left summit]

ok my fist run when like this scav on a rock saw me he let off 3 shots i was dead 🙂

[river yarrow]

There's literally no error though, it's just greyed out for a minute and then it's back to normal (game doesn't start either, nor the patching).

[autumn glade]

ig I'll save my gzhel

[autumn glade]

what armor do u recommend from flea then

[pallid basalt]

Yeah, you need 2 of them for a quest, one above 50% durability and one below

[eternal bough]

You checked for updates, right?

[river yarrow]

Yes, it does nothing. It's "Searching for Updates" for a second, then it's back to normal.

[neat flicker]

Check task manager and see if anything is running relating to tarkov

[hollow obsidian]

restart your pc or smthn. that works with me most of the time

[pallid basalt]

If you have ragman 2 go for the yellow ones, forgot what they're called. Those rarely get stolen and they repair well so you can re-use

[autumn glade]

dont have

all traders level 1

[pallid basalt]

Even on flea you should be able to buy those. Let look up what they're called

[eternal bough]

Check this link- https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/ccwdi5/checking_game_forever_help/

I'm jumping into game... be nice if you see a 3 deep rolling SCAVs... we're just here to collect stuff... not kill people 🙂

[carmine creek]

nice little scav case

[autumn glade]

what's the name of this

[neat flicker]

Wait what is that? Free items?

[pallid basalt]

On flea go for the 6B3TM one. You should find those on scavs as well. Take them and keep them even if very damaged. You'll get ragman 2 soon and you'll be able to trade 4 damaged ones for a brand new one

[autumn glade]

thanks its 6B3TM

[pallid basalt]

It's also a level 4 armor which hels in fights

[river yarrow]

Thanks for the help brother. It fixed itself somehow? After pressing Play again it finally started patching... 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

[eternal bough]

COOLNESS!!! 🙂

[rose trellis]

do items need to be found in raid to sell on the flea

[neat flicker]

Could someone go over for me which traders buy what kinds of items? Therapist sells medical stuff, so I assume she buys medical stuff too. Do the traders buy from you what they sell?

[autumn glade]

yes

[rose trellis]

most traders have an order you should sell to in

[neat flicker]

So if I have some clothes would they sell most stuff at Ragman

[runic canopy]

therapist wanting 12k for a bottle of water is a scam

[rose trellis]

therapist first, then mechanic, ragman, then check everyone, and lastly sell to fence

ragman only buys clothes ye

[neat flicker]

What does mechanic buy?

For the most that is

[pallid basalt]

Gun related stuff mostly

And pays well

[neat flicker]

So therapist for med stuff, mechanic for gun stuff, ragman for clothes, what about the others?

[pallid basalt]

Though Jaeger pays better for certain snipers and shotguns

[raw pine]

anyone wanna party up?

[pallid basalt]

Therapist for every barter thing as well, not just meds

[pearl pier]

ok how

[neat flicker]

What’s considered a barter thing

[glass sigil]

qq, besides the sun what else can one use outdoors to find bearings?

[dire hull]

Should i do loyalty buyout quest for skier?

[pallid basalt]

Most items, like bolts, nuts, duct tape, etc. Items you use in hideout, to trade or just sell, cause you can't physically use in-game. Therapist also pays better for keys than Prapor, but keys are best sold to flea for more

[hollow obsidian]

is it worth selling the east wing 209 room key?

i cant sell on flea market yet but i forgot who but theyll buy it for like 43k

[neat flicker]

Oh I’m currently hoarding those items cause I feel like I’ll need them later

Actually I could just sell them and then hunt for them when I do need them, could use the money

[pallid basalt]

Yeah, hoard them, cause you'll need lots for upgrades and prices are fluctuating a lot. You can also watch airwingmarine for more info on barters, crafts, hideout, and what items are good to keep or not

[pallid basalt]

Yes, those you find easily, yes, sell them

[neat flicker]

I’d prefer to figure stuff out myself, stuff like loot spawns, what is valuable and basically how the game works. I’ve looked up maps and extracts but that’s it

[pallid basalt]

Things like metal parts, green batteries are must keep

[neat flicker]

I’ve got stuff like pliers, batteries, toolsets. How easy are they to come by?

I’m still on the search for a spark plug and selewa lol

[pallid basalt]

Yeah, he's not really teaching stuff, just keeping people updated on prices, what crafts are worth making, etc. Kinda like watching the news for tarkov

[neat flicker]

That’s something I’ll probably look into when I understand more about the game

[pallid basalt]

AA batteries and D batteries are cheap. Green batteries are about 1 mil on flea right now

[neat flicker]

Jeez

[left summit]

what is this

[burnt vortex]

Selewa is in medical on customs

Consider going there and running for your life

[neat flicker]

Where’s that?

[pallid basalt]

He has good updates guides on how to do gunsmith cheap with trades and stuff, so give it a watch when trying to do those quests if you don't want to pay too much

[azure knot]

the "rat rig"

[burnt vortex]

Have you never seen maps for customs?

[neat flicker]

Yeah

[pallid basalt]

You can find salewas on woods in emercom/medical camp as well

It's this one

Has lots of med spawns on it

[neat flicker]

Nice

[pallid basalt]

And less dangerous than the customs one, since on customs people can rush there for folders

[neat flicker]

I’m sticking to customs for the time being though, until I know it like the back of my hand

[hybrid berry]

Still doing salewa??

[burnt vortex]

I circled it. And that's generally where I get my stuff from

[neat flicker]

And shotgun one, haven’t got a single one yet

[hybrid berry]

Unlock jager

[burnt vortex]

I've gotten 3 grizzlies and fuck tons of meds from customs

Its insane

[hybrid berry]

The trader

[sinful citrus]

Check bottom of power for salewa

They spawn there like every other raid

[burnt vortex]

I also got an ANA M1 Rig too

Which I'm gonna be using for looting

[neat flicker]

I see, cheers. Is that a fairly active spot in terms of potential players being there?

[burnt vortex]

Oh yeah

One of the worst spots

[fleet epoch]

Welp, I found the muzzle for Gunsmith 1 in raid just now and lost it because servers messed up the exit

[pallid basalt]

Yeah, people rush it for intelligence folders

[burnt vortex]

Your best bet is to spawn at RUAF(the T-90A parked by that gate wall) and running straight to it

[pallid basalt]

You have to go in and out fast

[neat flicker]

What are they?

[burnt vortex]

Then praying you run the hell away while no one finds you

[fleet epoch]

200k a pop in 1 slots

[pallid basalt]

Expensive stuff. Sells for 200k

[fleet epoch]

2 slots, sorry

[neat flicker]

Oh wow

[sinful citrus]

Don’t go to crack house if you want to live lol. Most of the fighting happens there + fortress + dorms

[neat flicker]

That’s annoying. I want to avoid combat yet I have to go to the most Saught after spot

[fleet epoch]

Reserve has a medical building that will probably have the too

[burnt vortex]

Its worth running in if you have the close spawn

[pallid basalt]

Go where I told you on woods, lots of medical spawns there and less fighting

[burnt vortex]

But otherwise it's a fight zone

[pallid basalt]

I left with backpacks of medical stuff from there a lot of times

[burnt vortex]

I main the Saiga-12 so I REVEL in cqb combat

Please, I either have Magnum or Flechette to rip you a new lease on life

[neat flicker]

I’ll give it a try, but I feel trying to figure out two maps this early is quite a bit

[raw pine]

anyone on right now im looking for a group

[sinful citrus]

Mp -153 + silencer and target ring is the most op shotgun rn

[pallid basalt]

Woods and customs are the best to start with and are easy to figure out. That's why the quests you get at the start mostly happen on those maps

[burnt vortex]

I personally like customs the most since I feel like it gives you a good feel for the game overall. Lots of Short, Medium, and Long range engagement distances. Lots of loot to be had.

[neat flicker]

I think I have a quest to find jaeger in woods

[burnt vortex]

Yeah thats an easy one. Go for it

I've done 1 minute matches as a scav and not gotten run throughs

[narrow gull]

7 mins from raid start

[neat flicker]

I’ve been avoiding most fights so far, I’ll try get in more fights soon

[narrow gull]

so say raid is 45 minutes long and you spawn at 35 minutes

that's 10 minutes since raid start, you can extract

[pallid basalt]

You spawn in late as a scav so that's not an issues. It's almost impossible to get run through as scav, unless you go only factory

[narrow gull]

if you spawn at 40 minutes you have to wait 2 minutes

[nocturne phoenix]

eeeerm i think ive ran into a bug i just put on 15xpsu's on the market for 65k each and ive come out the raid and there no longer on the market and also i dont have the money in my account cause i went in with 250k and sold the armour and weapons i had on scav and have 300k

[neat flicker]

The thing about this game I don’t like, is that I want to just wonder around the maps without needing any guides, like it’s an open world survival game, but because You need to extract, I have to look at maps to figure it out

[nocturne phoenix]

so where the fuck is my 900k?

[ruby bough]

Hey y'all, started yesterday, been running around woods in offline to acclimate and find extraction points, but I can only navigate to Factory Gate and whenever I get there it says I need help from a scav to extract, are all points like that? And how do I navigate to other points lol?

[valid hatch]

how long does it take to get reward from fence for using scav/pmc extract

[cyan moss]

I need to spend 500k for my next jaeger level, whats an efficient way of going about that? He doesn't have any guns I want to use.

Should I just buy the vest and sell it to ragman? Seems kinda silly

[narrow gull]

buy hatchets/cyclon batteries/dry fuel, etc on the flea and sell to him

[cyan moss]

Is there a list I can reference for each one of the vendors?

[narrow gull]

not that i know of

[cyan moss]

Okay :/ Well ty I'll try that

[narrow gull]

typically mechanic therapist level themselves, skier after you unlock good parts, ragman from buying armor
that leaves pk which you can sell diaries to and jaeger with the flea market hatchets

[runic canopy]

is scavs ignoring u a bug

[narrow gull]

and prapor tbh i just use akm a lot

[sand thistle]

Question for yall, im lvl 11 and have filled to Scav Junk boxes already, is it worth to buy a 3rd?

[sinful valve]

Bro wat

Sell some shit

That’s mad money you’re leaving on the table

[hollow obsidian]

is there any use to a firesteal other than to sell it?

[sand thistle]

Lol, I just dont know what to sell and what to keep to sell on flea when i hit 15

[narrow gull]

for the collector

[sinful valve]

Ah

Maybe someone here wouldn’t mind helping

Show us your scav boxes

[hollow obsidian]

so should i sell the fire steal

[narrow gull]

if you don't plan on doing the collector

[hollow obsidian]

i dont know what that is

[narrow gull]

then sell

[hollow obsidian]

ok

[sinful valve]

Old fire steel is 40k on flea

[hollow obsidian]

yeah i dont have flea

[sinful valve]

Same as therapist

[lunar herald]

Anyone know how to get better fps for lighthouse? No problems on other maps just horrible frame drops on that map. I have a RTX 3070, Ryzen 7 2700x and 16gb DDR4 ram. Even looked at buying a new cpu but it would be like £350

[sinful valve]

If you wanna check flea prices use this https://tarkov-market.com/

[hollow obsidian]

i dont have the flea market unlocked yet

what the fuck is a wifi camera

[sinful valve]

Use it to see what to keep for flea or not

[hollow obsidian]

ok

[narrow gull]

quest item

[hollow obsidian]

so i shouldnt have sold it?

[runic canopy]

Guess that works

[hollow obsidian]

shit

[fair solstice]

cuppa times

[bold kernel]

I just started this game yesterday and find it confusing over what to do? Someone that would wanna help me do my first succesful scav run?

[opal locust]

can someone reccomend a how to keybind aim and holding breath so it automatically holds my breath when i aim down sights thanks

[minor rose]

Is that a thing?

[autumn glade]

go into raid > get loot > extract > sell loot

[opal locust]

I think so

[fair solstice]

can someone reccomend a how to keybind aim and holding breath so it automatically holds my breath when i aim down sights thanks
@opal locust You can bind it to RMB so when you ads its auto holds breath

[autumn glade]

is that a good thing? lol

u cant strafe while ADSing then

[ionic stratus]

Could anyone help me find find jägers camp?

[fair solstice]

of if you dont like that shift is good too

[bold kernel]

Yup, dont know how to find the loot and cant really locate the extraction points

[autumn glade]

open mapgenie on another monitor and then use landmarks to find where you are

[opal locust]

I have shift bound to sprint but is there a way to have holding breath and sprint both on shift keybind?

[minor rose]

Mapgenie.com/tarkov

[fair solstice]

u cant strafe while ADSing then
@autumn glade you can just set one to continuous and the other to press or something

[strong barn]

Ye I literally do that ^.^
Hold breath is on 3 keys for me !
Shift, V and mouse 5

[ionic stratus]

I have tried 3 times, ran for 25 mins it is litterly impossible

[minor rose]

There is very few people that like woods @ionic stratus

[ionic stratus]

me included

[olive bough]

any tips on how to get the mag for gunsmith part 4? I can't buy it on flea nor barter (I have peacekeeper 2)

[minor rose]

Rogue farming 1/13 have a m4 with 3 of those 60 rounders

[olive bough]

also looks like I can't apply the stock required

[bold kernel]

The loot then

[primal breach]

there needs to be a "how many times santa was killed" stat

[pearl pier]

my scav is stuck on a black screen after extracting

[olive bough]

nvm

[autumn glade]

what do I buy from peacekeeper to reach the 11k spent for level 2

[bold kernel]

how do i get more m9a3 pistols

[olive bough]

just buy and resell

[autumn glade]

what items

[olive bough]

whatever works

[autumn glade]

i have no idea what works

[olive bough]

anything

just buy anything and resell it to him

(ofc buy the stuff from him)

[autumn glade]

any way to convert dollars to roubles?

[olive bough]

I don't think so, no

[autumn glade]

dan g

[olive bough]

you can do it the other way round

well actually

you can buy stuff for robules and sell it to peacekeeper

sorry other way round

buy stuff from peace, sell to others

to convert roubles to dollars you can just buy 'em

[autumn glade]

I cant sell anything back to him that I bought from him lol

[olive bough]

just leave the trading screen and go back

if you still can't, move around all the things you bought

[autumn glade]

oh yeah

I get 1/3 back

ig

[olive bough]

yeah

and that also goes towards your 11k target

[compact zenith]
