[static nebula]

peacekeeper sells hk mp5 mount

you can put scopes on that

[low ivy]

so uh
Very very very very new to this game. I know the game revolves around looting stuff, but what exactly am I looking for in looting?

[olive oracle]

is it worth it to spend a million rubles on flea for beta case items or should i just look for the parts in raid?

[celest dove]

it's better to buy the items off flea imo, tank battery is a pain to get

[silver juniper]

^^ agreed

and a FIR tank bat is worth much more to you

then 1m rubles

[celest dove]

fir virtex too, needed for a quest later on

[narrow gull]

you can get a FIR virtex from a task

[silver juniper]

for hideout and barters i always try to just buy the shit if my version is FIR cause FIR strong

Barters with FIR items should give FIR result !!

w propane tanks and non FIR fconds id do the prapor barter every restock for fuel too

[celest dove]

does anyone run rb-gn here this wipe? I wanna know if I should keep going for that room on my reserve raids if I need a tank bat

don't wanna waste my time if the spawns got nerfed or smth

[tough oyster]

scavs are so greedy for the airdrop

[static nebula]

is that bad?

[tough oyster]

i got there first and there was basically nothing good in it, another scav showed up and said hello, decided to blast me after i said theres nothing good in it.

[lusty glacier]

fastest 7.62 muzzle velocity?

[ember pendant]

Which caliber? 39, 51, 54R?

[lusty glacier]

oh

actually, all of them

im trying to see which gun to use for sbih

that isnt 5.45 or 5.56

[static nebula]

7.62 39 bp is 730

mai ap may be faster but i dont have any

[ember pendant]

Go to the ballistics page and start looking then lol. That's a lot of bullets to compare.

[static nebula]

tarkov helper doesnt show speed

[lusty glacier]

but the gun builds also affect it

as well as MOA

i wanted to see if anyone knew already

[spiral ore]

Anyone willing to help a noob out in this game

[static nebula]

Ask and someone may know the answer

[spiral ore]

Well I’ll tell you this i own a special amount of skills I’ve acquired over the years. I can aim and I kill a lot. I can also have great positioning but u need guidance in this game you will be relayed greatly

[barren oasis]

need a rsaaa badddddd

[spiral ore]

If you show me the way I’ll show love in return master

[static nebula]

Im new to the game xd

is this craft good?

[digital sable]

Check out #sherpa-info for experienced players who teach people the game.

otherwise, if you find some new player guides on YouTube, play some offline raids to learn extracts, and ask lots of questions on this Discord then you can learn for yourself without too much trouble.

[spiral ore]

Do you want learn together

[static nebula]

im gonna sleep soon

[spiral ore]

Okay

[spiral ore]

Ano but I’ve played solo in scavs and like I’m good at killing and aiming and the rest I just need direction for like evacuations and like someone else to play with

[digital sable]

That’s what the Sherpa people are for essentially. You might also have some luck on #pvp-lfg for just finding people to play with in general.

[spiral ore]

Thank you my child may the gods bless you

[coral junco]

im improving but i died

[dark timber]

Last question (for now lol): If I'm trying to load multiple ammo types into a mag, will the first ammo type I add shoot first, or will the last?

[static nebula]

If its realistic its the last

[zinc canopy]

Last

[silver juniper]

any gamers

[coral junco]

Reeee

[dark timber]

Awesome, that's what I thought, but figured it was worth checking. Didn't wanna waste my good ammo at the end of the mag dump lmao

[spare flicker]

anyone want to play customs

[merry vapor]

no

[spare flicker]

ok

[merry vapor]

im so sorry that was mean

[barren oasis]

heh

[spare flicker]

idk kinda

funny tho

[signal plank]

Are the servers still aids with max backend errors and 10+min ques or is it safe to come back now

[wild sable]

whatare the top 5 lighthouse keys?

[silver juniper]

anyone want some choccy https://i.imgur.com/rcbxBtp.png

[wraith bone]

idk i havent played a;; da cause yesterday the servers where kicking me off after every raid

[lavish spear]

Hey, I'm wondering what version of the game I should buy? Does it make a difference? Also if I buy the standard, can I upgrade to a different pack in the future?

[soft cosmos]

message me if anyone is a beginner, ill send some invites out if ya guys need help learning the game

[soft cosmos]

yea you can buy the standard and upgrade later for the amount you bought

[lavish spear]

Cool, thanks!

[fierce kite]

OK, so i'm trying to get a key tool from Therapist, and it's almost at the restock point. what is the best strat to buy one? should i wait for the timer to run out and just click? or do i have to refresh first? if so, should i click refresh right at 00:00?

[runic canopy]

can u tell on killfeed who was a playerscav

[carmine creek]

wtf is this rogue name loll

[narrow gull]

Nikita knows his playerbase

[timber bronze]

yo what should i sell to peacekeeper to get lvl 2 need like 9k more

[hushed spade]

Just buy dollars if you are able too

It counts, and you can spend it more usefull later

[weak ermine]

hey hey can we deploy bipods ?:)

[runic canopy]

is anything worth selling

[vagrant cargo]

swag kit

just need a headset

[vagrant cargo]

the valuable stuff u dont need for quests or crafts

[runic canopy]

....wich is

[vagrant cargo]

im not sure

i think veritas isnt needed ?

[runic canopy]

thats why im aksing

[vagrant cargo]

wiki has that info

[runic canopy]

what bring alot of coin

dont care bout quests

just coin

[vagrant cargo]

oh

then literally sell all of it if u dont care ab quests

[runic canopy]

again im asking if anything is worth selling in like brings alot on flea

[timber bronze]

bruh that shit is 1m and i dont even use dollars

[runic canopy]

u could buy dollars buy guns with dollars and sell em for rubles

u make a loss doing that but it gets ur usd up

[vagrant cargo]

youll need e,

em

PK has good ammo good guns

good attachments

[hushed spade]

I'm aware ^^' but you will use it later on, he sells tons of good stuff

[cold walrus]

when people tell me to look for sniper rock in woods, they are telling me to look for the rocks in which color box?

[vagrant cargo]

just found out clothing is op

[hushed spade]

Blue

[vagrant cargo]

this shows i have handgun

this doesnt

clothing op bsg pls fix

[cold walrus]

ty

[tall arch]

damb

[steep tendon]

difference between ifak and afak? and whats better?

[vagrant cargo]

afak better

why does usec have such bad fashion

[hushed spade]

AFAK, 400 instead of 300 healing

[neat flicker]

When the gun points up like this during the initial kick, does the bullet shoot out at an angle upwards where the barrel is facing? Or does it shoot directly where the iron sights are but straight out from the camera?

[vagrant cargo]

billets come out of barrel

Follow up question

Why can’t our pmc hold a gun straight

[brittle canyon]

video game

[vagrant cargo]

I’m not saying we should be beasts with 0 recoil

But like

Holding the gun straight would feel better even to play

Same thing with camera recoil

Why is camera recoil a thing

[neat flicker]

So from where the crosshair is now it’ll shoot slightly above

[vagrant cargo]

Saiga 12 is literally unusable

[vagrant cargo]

I think so

[neat flicker]

Cause when I shoot the m4 the barrel points way up, and I’m wondering if I need to pull down even more or just to where the iron sight is

[full cobalt]

what is the best place to get thermite and eagle so i can get an ammo case?

[hidden kettle]

best way to farm fuel?

[vagrant cargo]

be rich

[hidden kettle]

wanna start crafting salewas for my therapist mission

[vagrant cargo]

oh

[hushed spade]

The Oli on interchange has multiple fuel spawns

[vagrant cargo]

don’t you have fuel from starter stash ?

[full cobalt]

lol he should have 60 from starter stash

[vagrant cargo]

and yeah oli has a shitload of fuel anyways

[hidden kettle]

I took bad advice earlier to sell everything so I could buy my junk box

okay ill farm oli ty

[vagrant cargo]

Wtf

[hidden kettle]

main store section or warehouse better?

i complained of having no space or money

[vagrant cargo]

Where are you gonna find stuff to put in ur box if u have nothing

[hidden kettle]

oh I have 2 boxes almost full now

[vagrant cargo]

well alright

[pure mist]

no it wouldn't you won't see shit in the middle of your screen lol

[hidden kettle]

just repeating runs getting same crap until i get bored then moving to next task

[vagrant cargo]

idk if selling literally everything is the best way to do it but if it works for you that’s good

[vagrant cargo]

how ?

how would holding the gun correctly be bad

[pure mist]

blocks fov

it's a game it's fine lol

[hidden kettle]

nah i now know that I need most of it so im hoarding and trying to focus a few of my hideout things

[vagrant cargo]

alright

[vagrant cargo]

wtf

i meant not having so much visual recoil and having less stupid recoil

[pure mist]

what? lol

what's "stupid" recoil

[radiant tapir]

I’m lvl 9 with a scab junkbox and 2.3 mil am I progressing slow it feels a little like it?

[vagrant cargo]

well recoil in game is very exaggerated which is probably fine but visually it looks like our PMC can’t hold a gun

[young goblet]

i just regained my faith in scavmanity

i met two innocent scavs

and they offered me a ratchet wrench and reserve key

i declined since they were lower level

wait sorry wrong chat

[digital sable]

Sounds like you’re just focusing more on grinding cash over grinding quests.

[fading gale]

Hi. Where do we find Thermite?

[radiant tapir]

Yeah I always die when doing them lol

[vagrant cargo]

Been grinding quests so hard I have no money 🔥

[frozen carbon]

hello, what do you do with Expeditionary fuel tank?

[young goblet]

it powers the generator in your hideout

[digital sable]

You’ll be much better off if you get quests done. Once you have the flea and higher trade ranks, you’ll actually have stuff worth spending money on

[frozen carbon]

oh, cool. Thanks for the info

[young goblet]

and once its depleted it can be used as a craft

[digital sable]

You’ll also make money a lot faster once you get the flea unlocked

[vagrant cargo]

I’m still poor and I’m lvl 16

[digital sable]

but if you’re new and not going broke you’re doing pretty dang good 👍

[radiant tapir]

The problem is I’m bad so it’s hard to get any besides the item ones done

[vagrant cargo]

im broke

[radiant tapir]

Lost 300k worth of pistol kits lol

[fading gale]

Once you used all the fuel, you can use it to craft weapon case

[vagrant cargo]

how

[digital sable]

I’m terrible but quests are doable. Don’t sweat the pistol kill quest, it doesn’t lead to many other quests in the tree

[vagrant cargo]

How are you so rich though

I keep losing so much money whenever I die

[fading gale]

Did anyone have a good place to farm Thermite?

[digital sable]

If you need to, hide in a bush for 20 minutes before going dangerous places

[vagrant cargo]

I wanna buy clothes but I’m too poor

[coral junco]

dog files

[radiant tapir]

Dying like 20 times on factory

[vagrant cargo]

Stirrup is deadass easy on factory just gotta find a naked face

[radiant tapir]

Alright I’ll try that. Thanks

[ripe finch]

i've gotten most of mine from loothouse underneath pride rock and in village as loose loot

[vagrant cargo]

@radiant tapir how are you rich

[radiant tapir]

Unless you run on 30 frames and have no aim lol

[radiant tapir]

Scav runs

[fading gale]

Thanks. Will try

[digital sable]

Night raids can also be good for questing as well.

[radiant tapir]

Like 200k a run

[vagrant cargo]

don’t even have to aim just point fire their faces

[radiant tapir]

If I’m lucky

[vagrant cargo]

stirrup is pretty enjoyable imo

[digital sable]

Once you learn where to loot, it’s hard not to make money (assuming you survive sometimes)

[radiant tapir]

I also have no keys

[digital sable]

Unlock Flea and you can buy most keys 🙂

[vagrant cargo]

i survive about 2% of all my raids

[radiant tapir]

Yeah I tell try to rush flea now thanks for the advice

[full cobalt]

where the hell do you get Eagle and Thermite from???

[vagrant cargo]

I still have no idea where to loot

[ripe finch]

For sure, hit a couple valuable loot spots or safes and a couple hidden stashes. If you get lucky you can find quite a lot. Vases, pestily masks, bulbex, pgw, etc

[vagrant cargo]

ok I’ll try

[digital sable]

Hidden stashes are definitely a great place to start

You can low risk stash runs where you basically never encounter much PvP

[ripe finch]

first thing I did after learning my exfils was learn a stash route on customs, woods, and shoreline

[digital sable]

Woods is my favorite because I like spawning near USEC camps and filling up with loot before anyone can reach them 🙂

[ripe finch]

yup yup. attachment hut can be HUGE

[vagrant cargo]

yeah but woods stashes are like so annoying to find aaaah

[digital sable]

Do you use map-genie interactive maps?

[vagrant cargo]

also usec camp?

I’ve never not died there

[digital sable]

They have screenshots for each stash

[vagrant cargo]

And no

[wild sable]

best lighthouse keys?

[vagrant cargo]

My pc would die if I alt tabbed out of tarkov

[ripe finch]

once you find them, move around the area and make mental notes of bushes or nearby structures

[digital sable]

Not having a second monitor is rough

[vagrant cargo]

you people have money or something

[digital sable]

Less important after you’ve learned the maps, but super useful early

[crystal oracle]

Yo guys :)

[ripe finch]

i legitimately printed out paper copies of the maps to learn with and refer to

[vagrant cargo]

The maps were rather easy to understand to me

The only one I’m actually kinda lost in is shoreline since I never played it

[crystal oracle]

Just use mapgenie xD

[vagrant cargo]

And funnily enough factory

[crystal oracle]

wOIT

[ripe finch]

no

[vagrant cargo]

what if he can’t alt tab

[crystal oracle]

How can you get lost on facotry

[crystal oracle]

True

[vagrant cargo]

I don’t understand the underground part

[crystal oracle]

Just get it on your phone

big brain

[vagrant cargo]

What if my phone is terrible and small

[crystal oracle]

Fair enough

[crystal oracle]

Bruh you really can come up with excuses 🤣

[vagrant cargo]

yes I’m annoying

[ripe finch]

i know, i was joking. i regularly refer to my phone map app for quest locations and such

[digital sable]

Shoreline is pretty easy to learn since you basically only have 2 sets of extracts to learn. Then you can orientate yourself using the ocean.

Just a little sketchy crossing chokepoints mid map sometimes

[vagrant cargo]

In shoreline I’m scared everywhere

Even the old ass town makes me scared

[digital sable]

Shoreline is pretty chill, but I’ve been having bad luck on it this wipe

[vagrant cargo]

Because I don’t know where are hotspots

So all the map is scary

[ripe finch]

shoreline is like a 3 lane map. if you stick between the lanes of travel you can avoid most other players if you pay attention

other than at spawn, kind of a free for all of who goes resort and who goes pier

[vagrant cargo]

I’ve also had trouble learning shoreline stashes

I can’t see them I think I’m brain damaged

[digital sable]

It’s tough without screenshots together with a map

[ripe finch]

the barrels are easier to see, but in my experience have not as good of stuff. watch a youtube video so you can visually see where it is one time if you are having trouble.

[digital sable]

There’s stashes I “know” that still take me forever to find even though I know they’re in a certain bush

[vagrant cargo]

I can’t see the barrels either which is why I think I’m stupid

[ripe finch]

oof, yeah I'd watch a video. lots of tubers putting out guides to stashes

[digital sable]

I honestly don't know how anyone could play Tarkov without googling stuff

I probably wouldn't know the stashes even existed

[sand thistle]

New player here (only my first wipe) and im currently lvl 13. So far, ive mainly been running the vpo's as full autos are so damn hard to control. Any suggestions for another gun to try. Only lvl 1 traders so far

[vagrant cargo]

SKS is best friend

Peace keeper smgs

Mp5 and ump are both good

[sand thistle]

do i have access to ammo that will actually pen with those weapons?

[mellow elm]

Anyone have kiba key?

[digital sable]

Peacekeeper has a trade for a UMP-45. You can buy black knives from Fence to get the gun for ~35k

[vagrant cargo]

None of the starter ammo pens except PS

just shoot face or legs

[sand thistle]

which is why i feel like ive had some success with the vpos. But i do want to try the ump. Heard good things!

[vagrant cargo]

ump is really good even without AP ammo

[ripe finch]

It has been good this wipe for sure. I'd recommend trying a laser and just shooting from the hip unless they are far away

[lavish spear]

When was the last server wipe/when will the next server wipe be? Also do you lose the items and stash level you get from the upgraded game pack when the game wipes?

[spiral bluff]

Do many people ask for help on the 2nd part of task "Delivery from the past" (the factory part) cause that would be nice not to attempt solo and lose task item

[dawn geyser]

December - Guesstimate is 4-8 months since december - You keep whatever game level you are at right now

If you started standard, upgraded to EOD, you keep EOD

[dawn geyser]

Try and LFG - i'm sure there are people willing to fill a lobby of factory with you #pvp-lfg

[ripe finch]

try voip, or going in and hoping you don't get glass hall spawn. wait out the raid a few minutes then go for it

[dawn geyser]

If you do spawn glass hall, get out of there, do not run down the hallway

[lavish spear]

Ok thanks!

[spiral bluff]

im doing alright for new player but my factory stats are not good yet lmao

okay thank you

[unreal imp]

Just go in there and plant it regardless of your spawn, everyone is so scared of pushing that you can just chill and plant it in peace

[sand thistle]

Im stuck on the same task, mustve died in factory at least 5x. I heard trying in at night helps....

[spiral bluff]

planning a 5 man would be bis

[unreal imp]

if you are too slow everyone crawls to their camping spots its going to be more difficult than if you play agressive and push in there first

[spiral bluff]

i been test running it i have got there just most times it seems to be groups bad spawns or really good player killing everything

not attempted with item in hand yet

[digital sable]

I just join a 5 man Factory voice chat channel on this Discord for it lol

[unreal imp]

I go in geared so if i spawn machinery i can kill all the glass hallways spawns with ease if they push and i just run up there after that, if i spawn other side of map i run through bottom floor of offices and climb stone stairs to second and plant it then

Has worked 4 wipes at least now

first try always

[digital sable]

I am no way confident enough to reliably survive Factory solo for that quest

I'd maybe get it 1/4 tries

[spiral bluff]

yeah same here atm il give the lfg a go

[open wraith]

Strongly suggest the UMP. Slow ROF and hard-hitting rounds make it a great auto gun to start out on.

[fleet epoch]

I died twice trying to do the factory mission but got it on the third try after waiting a bit for the spawns to clear out.

[dawn geyser]

UMP good fun

[vagrant cargo]

but how use UMP if no ap ammo

[dawn geyser]

Just do it

FMJ

[sand thistle]

def gonna give it a go tonight!

[dawn geyser]

I do it, make it out of most of my raids

Speaking of running bad ammo

[ripe finch]

lots of mags of whatever you got. high flesh damage if you can rail an arm or leg

[vagrant cargo]

i only have fmj available

[dawn geyser]

21 round dumped a tagilla faceshield in factory with 9mPST

[vagrant cargo]

PK ll 3 hard

[dawn geyser]

22nd round is the magic number boys and girls

[digital sable]

FMJ is fine. You'll probably want to aim head

[dawn geyser]

er 21st

[vagrant cargo]

Very interesting information

[sand thistle]

click heads lol

[vagrant cargo]

Ok what if visor

[dawn geyser]

Click harder

[digital sable]

I like Kedr over UMP. You're aiming head anyway so may as well fire faster

[dawn geyser]

If I can kill tagilla helmet with 9mm PST you can do it too

[vagrant cargo]

No

I can’t aim 22/30 nullets

[dawn geyser]

Well. if you put it that way.

Ok look seldomly people are running tagilly face shield

[vagrant cargo]

Dude I’ve seen so many of those

I actually got 120 igolnik out of one of them

The only 1 that DIDNT kill me

[willow ocean]

anyway to avoid gun jams? just died 2 times in a row to it

[digital sable]

I am hunting scavs for my Jaegar no med kill quest and I'm not leaving the Woods until I either finish or fail it due to being forced to heal a bleed

[dawn geyser]

Run new condition weapons

[willow ocean]

whats that

[serene ingot]

buy ones from traders

[dawn geyser]

Lower the durability the higher % chance of jams, double click and you can see durability

[willow ocean]

ok

thanks

[dawn geyser]

No problem good luck!

Wow 2 times in a row

That's some luck

[vagrant cargo]

deadass

mf is cursed

[pure mist]

Brand new mp7 last wipe. Jammed 3 times in a row

[sand thistle]

go out and buy a lotto ticket right now!

[dawn geyser]

E! Long time.

lol gross

[pure mist]

Yep. How’s the grind?

[vagrant cargo]

Ok seriously which fashion should I use

[dawn geyser]

Good thing they're changing new condition gun jams

[pure mist]

In half a mag

[dawn geyser]

Haven't touched

[pure mist]

Yeah

I haven’t been playing a lot this wipe

[dawn geyser]

Yeahhh~ lowest level i've been in any wipe

[pure mist]

I miss level 58 last wipe lol

Want my urban responder back

[willow ocean]

whats the max durability of a ak74m?

[pure mist]

Every gun is 100 lol

[willow ocean]

it said 59/60 though?

[dawn geyser]

Yes of that AK, scav AK

It was repaired before and got lower max

[willow ocean]

oh

where can i get max ak then?

[pure mist]

Traders lol

Prapor probs

[dawn geyser]

Have to buy from trader or if someone's listed a new one on flea market

Can be found in weapon crates

[willow ocean]

yeah thats 50000 roubles

ill get a different gun i supposer

[vagrant cargo]

lvl 41

[sand thistle]

every gun is 100, but armor is different....i believe

[vagrant cargo]

why’s that

[pure mist]

310 raids ish

[vagrant cargo]

Mf

[fathom thicket]

how do you open the car on the same roud as outskirts or scav house on woods?

[pure mist]

Played a bit more during the holidays

310 is not a lot

[vagrant cargo]

Ok I guess my life is different

[brazen ivy]

I’m confused

[vagrant cargo]

Why

[brazen ivy]

Everything

My main issue atm is I can’t navigate woods

[pure mist]

Pull up map genie try to find where you as spawned

And follow the map

[merry vapor]

follow the map

[crystal oracle]

Are green batteries worth crafting?

They give like 150k profit

each time

[merry vapor]

you just said theyre 150k profit

[misty ginkgo]

A very great tip is that sniper rock is pretty much in the middle.

So if you can find that big rock, and run towards it you’re gonna be in the middle of the map in no time

[young goblet]

get ur compass

find someone to go into raid with you and help u do the quest

once you have the compass woods is easy

[native tulip]

hey guys, I'm doing Farming part 1, on the game it doesn't mention extracting, but on the wiki it does. So what's the truth?

Toolsets are hard to come by so idk how I'm supposed to have 2, do this and survive in one take

[young goblet]

this is my third wipe and even i got saved by my compass today

[young goblet]

you can keep them up ur ass which is the first part

also there is a trade with mechanic

[native tulip]

do they get consumed after use?

[young goblet]

yeah

but u dont have to do it in the same raid

[native tulip]

so..if I fix the thing and die..then I need to do it again

[young goblet]

no you dont

you can fix one board each raid

[native tulip]

oh?

Yeah but what if I die in that raid

[young goblet]

and then extract on the third

[runic canopy]

i cant seem to craft an mp5sd

it wont let me put it together

[native tulip]

okay, that's way better lmao

[sonic mulch]

If I want to have great scav rep, and I come face to face with another scav should I kill

Because I just ran up on a guy looting stash

And I VOIP that I was moving away from his stash (I knew he was hostile because he was stalling for me to stay still)

And he killed me, though I could’ve killed him easy because I caught him distracted

Should I have killed him just to prevent me from dying?

[merry dust]

AAAAAY

pierce the veil fire

[young goblet]

tbh when scavs r like that dont fuck with them

just leave them alone

if they actually make an attempt to kill you then fight

but honestly just try and stay as far away from them as possible

[sick pelican]

i just installed tarkov

[young goblet]

then u dont gotta worry abt dying or loosing rep

[young goblet]

sorry

[sick pelican]

and i killed a few scavs and couldnt loot them like when i tried to loot them and my character just spoke

and that was all

[young goblet]

interact key is f

[sick pelican]

...

im kms

[young goblet]

not f1

[sick pelican]

alt f4 irl

thats what im doing

[vapid iris]

Extracted for the first time as PMC 👀

[sick pelican]

any OCE players willing to help me out?

im pretty bricked

[runic canopy]

can someone pls help me with the mp5sd

[serene ingot]

congrats

[serene ingot]

look it up on youtube, most of the parts you can get from traders early on i believe

[merry vapor]

ayy

just bought a ptv vinyl

[runic canopy]

i did look it up and its not working

thats why im asking

[merry dust]

eeeeh

vinyls are

eh

[merry vapor]

just colleting

[merry dust]

waste of money to me

i dont really find them cool or anything

[merry vapor]

🤷‍♀️

[stark sierra]

the woods zb14 has question marks on it . but no smoke. do i have to wait?

[west plover]

does the water filter continue using "charges" even when a purified water has been made?

[west plover]

I could be wrong but I think if there's no smoke, it is closed for that raid

[serene ingot]

make sure u put the front sight back on

[merry dust]

it can open

but unlikely

id just go to outskirt

[stark sierra]

kk

[misty ginkgo]

Not afaik

[runic canopy]

theres no option

[misty ginkgo]

Send a pic of the gun

[runic canopy]

i dont have gun im tryna make gun

[lusty glacier]

does tarkov have 1p29?

[serene ingot]

it looks like this?

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_3?file=Gunsmithpart3Modding.png#Modding_Screen

[misty ginkgo]

Use wiki build?

[runic canopy]

i was trying to do that

but no work

[native tulip]

Wow, I fixed the thing for mechanic but it bugged and didn't actually fix lmao

And I lost the toolset

great.

[merry dust]

L

[native tulip]

Oh no jk it didn't trigger in raid but it worked

poggers

[runic canopy]

so like how do i get it to work

[hidden kettle]

anyone got advice on lighthouse scav runs?

I never played lighthouse besides offline to get a feel for the map

[coral junco]

do i

[gritty bramble]

anyone able to bring me the hand rail for gunsmith pt 1?

[runic canopy]

[glass lantern]

lighthouse loot nerf hitting hard

[merry vapor]

nerf?

damn

[glass lantern]

yeah it got nerfed a day or two ago right

I remember lvndmark saying something on stream

[dark timber]

Man, gunsmith part 1 is horrible, I haven't been able to get the HDD drop yet, been playing like 20 hours

[misty ginkgo]

Not a lot

[exotic jungle]

have you searched PCs?

HDDs are usually there

on interchange there are lots of them

there's one or two in the building next to the south east extract in customs

[lusty dagger]

what to do with purified water canister

[runic canopy]

still no one helping me 😢

[sonic mulch]

I randomly came upon a scav and I essentially “jumped” him. Both of us knew of each others presence and were within 10m

[native tulip]

What are the shitty throwaway bullets in here?

[runic canopy]

7mm

[sonic mulch]

I died after trying to leave. I want to get good scav rep, should I have killed the scav?

[minor zodiac]

How the hell do you find the exits?

[native tulip]

no, never kill scavs

[runic canopy]

just knowing where they are tbh

[native tulip]

You should rather die

It's better

Source: I had -0.5 scav karma

Life sucked

So yeah, don't

[solid thunder]

Should I sell the GPU I just got? Dont plan on upgrading my hideout to that degree

and I probably wont go to labs anytime soon. But not tradeable on market anymore so just sell to therapist?

[runic canopy]

flea

not therapist

gives u easy over half a mikl

mil

[solid thunder]

Ye I know for gpu. I just mean labs

[wild sable]

is this trade possible? cause its always out of stock even right after it restocks

[slow basin]

I need advice. I keep dying before I can even spot anybody. I don't even get to fight. Am I just going too quick or something?

[native tulip]

You're probably making too much noise and being too visible

Can't know for sure but that's a good assumption

[minor zodiac]

How do you use the maps?

[native tulip]

Don't buy them, just use mapgenie.io

[cold walrus]

super stupid question, how important is building up the hideout when first starting a reset? currently level 4, have only done the first therapist task, haven't even unlocked jaeger yet
and how would i go about building up the hideout? i can never seem to find what i need in raids, assuming i can even get out alive
i guess its more important to build up my survival rate first before focusing on hideout building?

[misty ginkgo]

Yes.

There's a few good to know stuff tho.

Use flea market and barter trade it using that, it updates more often.

Some people have probably put bots on that barter.

[misty ginkgo]

It's not very important.

It's just a good to have later on. Makes a lot of stuff easier.

[wild sable]

ok

[misty ginkgo]

Your survival rate isn't important in any way. Stats don't matter

[native tulip]

The hideout is useful and you'll need it for quests later. I wouldn't necessarily focus on it but keep a tab of what items you need and keep an eye out for them

[cold walrus]

ty, looking at the barren hideout gives me anxiety for some reason though lol

[native tulip]

You'll find them organically during raids

[misty ginkgo]

Play slow. Record your deaths and send some clips in here or in my DM. I would love to tell you what you can improve on 😄

[minor zodiac]

Do they help you to find the exits. 6 raids and I found one by accident

[cold walrus]

but really the big thing i want is the workshop so i can mod guns

[native tulip]

yep, the exfils are marked

The in game maps suck

I mean they are realistic that's all

The website's are interactive

[misty ginkgo]

I personally money farm a few million and upgrade some stuff. That's the best way for me, some people enjoy finding everything in raid and keep it even tho they will never need 38 fir cpus

[runic canopy]

so like is no one gonna help me with the mp5

[native tulip]

They show you loot, spawn, quest items, exfils, etc

[misty ginkgo]

Use the wiki build? What do you want us to do?

[native tulip]

what do you need

[cold walrus]

also ive noticed the map everyone uses for woods is flipped upside down from the one on mapgenie.io, is there any reason for that?

it's confusing as hell

[native tulip]

the mapgenie one points north

so it's technically correct

[cold walrus]

ah, so all the youtubers are using the wrong map then lol

[fleet epoch]

Is it possible to silence a 556 shot completely from less than 20m?

[native tulip]

Well no the official one is flipped.

So yeah

[misty ginkgo]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/667018420859961348/792682495841796116/eb57aa6.png

I personally used this one. Made it easier to know my around imo

[runic canopy]

for the fifth time it wont let me do it i did try that wiki

[cold walrus]

ive seen all the youtubers put lake at the top, but mapgenie has it at the bottom

[native tulip]

That's weird

[misty ginkgo]

Send the gun you're building?

[native tulip]

Yeah send the gun

[fleet epoch]

Why are you using a map that is north down?

[misty ginkgo]

Some people say that it's easier that way.

I don't agree tbh

[cold walrus]

because mapgenie puts lake at bottom, that's why

[runic canopy]

maybe he australian

[misty ginkgo]

Worked for me 🤷

[misty ginkgo]

I'm eu .(

[native tulip]

the mapgenie one is the correct one

[fleet epoch]

Eastern Rocks is in the west

Talk about confusing

[misty ginkgo]

Never noticed that lol

[cold walrus]

pestily, etc, put lake on woods at top in their youtube videos, so that's why i was confused

[native tulip]

I know, it's confusing

I mean as long as you know where you're going, it doesn't matter which one you use lol

[cold walrus]

fair enough lol

[native tulip]

But if you use the compass to get around, then use the mapgenie one

[keen matrix]

isn't the bridge extract 5k at normal reps

[cold walrus]

gotcha, will keep that in mind, but first i need to unlock jaeger to get compass from what ive heard

[keen matrix]

at least that's what i paid last time

[native tulip]

no you need the prapor quest

[misty ginkgo]

It's an old map. I only used it to get around

[cold walrus]

that's the "kill scavs on customs + 2x mp-133" right?

[native tulip]

nope, that's the first one

there's another one you'll unlock later, after this one

on woods

can't remember the name

That's the catch lol

[cold walrus]

oof, so i need to unlock jaeger, then buy mp133s from him, turn in to prapor, then do 2nd prapor quest

[native tulip]

You gotta get around woods without compass to unlock it

masochistic

[cold walrus]

this game is a dick and a half at times

[junior crane]

trying to find someone to play

[native tulip]

I wouldn't buy them bud, they are fairly easy to find. Also keep an eye on your scavs, they have it often

[junior crane]

a sherpa

[native tulip]

I mean if you are desperate go for it but it's a lot of money when starting out

Like 35-40k

[cold walrus]

i get killed by scavs because i suck, and when i do kill scavs they never have the damn gun i need

"oooh yay it has a shotgun! awwww, its a 155....."

[native tulip]

practice makes perfect. I played 80 hours and only now I'm starting to get decent

Best tip I can give you is get in as many (sensible) firefights as you can

The more you train the better you'll be

[cold walrus]

i think a big part of my issue is gear fear and money fear

[native tulip]

I played like a rat until last wipe and never knew how to shoot anybody

[misty ginkgo]

Tarkov is the type of game where you learn by dying. Sadly

And you often die... A lot

[native tulip]

lose that, it takes time but lose it

[cold walrus]

as in, im always afraid of losing gear because im strapped for cash atm

[native tulip]

YOLO it

You have scavs etc

[misty ginkgo]

Use your scav when possible 😄

[cold walrus]

is that a 133?!

[native tulip]

Think it is

[cold walrus]

sweet

[native tulip]

Here's my strat

When my scav has something I need

[cold walrus]

factory and just do a quick run through?

[native tulip]

I usually go to factory and run to gate 3

[cold walrus]

yeah thats what i thought

[native tulip]

takes like a minute depending on spawn

And if you spawn late in the raid it's basically empty

[cold walrus]

factory always has all the extracts available no matter the spawn?

[native tulip]

Hmm no

Gate 1 is locked

Cellars is PMC only

[cold walrus]

assuming you have the keys for them

[ember schooner]

Whats the two keys you need for Gunshop on Interchange?

[cold walrus]

ah

[glass lantern]

kiba inner and outer key

[native tulip]

As a scav use Gate 3, bunker and office window

[cold walrus]

also, how bad is it to kill scavs as a scav?

[glass lantern]

you get inner from a task

[native tulip]

Very very bad

Don't do it

You'll fuck your karma

[ornate owl]

how to not get extract camped

[native tulip]

And it's a veeery long grind to get it back

[cold walrus]

pestily said to kill scavs to get their shotguns on factory for prapor

and im like "WTF"

[native tulip]

When did he say that? Must've been an old vid

[cold walrus]

did i miss something, or is he on an old patch?

[ember schooner]

Ah ok - I got outer - And was like tf is wrong with this lol

[native tulip]

Definitely

Going to sleep now

Feel free to DM me if you have more questions etc

Happy to help

[glass lantern]

keep it, kiba is worth running if youre on interchange

[wild sable]

wait so i wait on restock looking at the flea market cause it updates more often?

[glass lantern]

youll easily make the cost of the key back after a few runs

[ember schooner]

Interchange is in general:

[west plover]

does killa throw flashbangs?

[strong jolt]

are raiders in bunker still bugged?

[west plover]

bugged how?

[glass lantern]

wdym bugged

[strong jolt]

barely ever spawning and if they're gonna spawn they spawn without even pulling the lever

[glass lantern]

they just hard nerfed the spawn rate, theyve never been bugged

[strong jolt]

if that's not a bug that's dumb as shit

[misty ginkgo]

Yes

[ornate owl]

i killed them in bunker two raids in a row

[wild sable]

ok

[ornate owl]

not that low of a rate

[ashen wave]

when was the last wipe?

[strong jolt]

it is you just got extremely lucky sounds like

[glass lantern]

i see them 3 out of 10 reserve raids

[misty ginkgo]

12/12

[strong jolt]

in the bunker?

[glass lantern]

yup

[ashen wave]

and its a 6 month wipe?

[keen matrix]

where are the servers in the USA located? cali?

[strong jolt]

I have yet to see them once this wipe

[misty ginkgo]

Can be 2 months, can be 12... Nobody knows

[glass lantern]

there are a bunch on east, west and central

[cold walrus]

next dumb question, do boss scavs attack player scavs?

[keen matrix]

why is my ping 100 whenever i play then

[glass lantern]

yeah unless youre at 6 karma

[cold walrus]

gotcha, ty

how do i check that?

[glass lantern]

go to the launcher and pick the servers you have the lowest ping on then

[glass lantern]

fence reputation

is the same as karma

[wild sable]

why is yellow keycard so expensive this wipe?

[cold walrus]

ty

[mellow elm]

Whats the hotkey to switch between two sights? Like if you have one on top of the other

[flint crystal]

does anyone wanna help me do fishing quest

for peacekeeper

i cant do it

keep getting sniped

[harsh tartan]

ctrl + right click

[flint crystal]

how dumb do you think people are

[cold walrus]

bruh

[flint crystal]

you arent funny

[mellow elm]

Theres actually no way people still find that joke funny

[harsh tartan]

why yall so mad wtf

[cold walrus]

your stupid alt + f4 joke wasn't funny

[split heart]

somebody wanna play with me ? im am new to the game but know all basics and i have good aim

[harsh tartan]

when did i say alt f4

[cold walrus]

before you edited your comment

[mellow elm]

Lol idk why ur even replying to the weirdo

[cold walrus]

we can all see the (edited) mark on it

[mellow elm]

That was a quick insta block

hes gotta be like 12 lol

[cold walrus]

yeah probably

im just sitting here waiting for my queue to pop

worst part about this game tbh

finally get my nerves calm enough to go into a raid, and then the game lets me panic in queue for 5-10 minutes

[harsh tartan]

listen to very quiet music in the background to help with being jumpy.. helped my kd go from 1.3 to 2.7

[young monolith]

lvl 11 lfg. help me not die so much

[wild sable]

is there a graph to how much time it takes to make bitcoins with a certain amount of gpu's that is updated?

[cold walrus]

whew, made it out of factory alive with my mp133 the scav came with

hand shaking right now, but i made it through a raid alive

also got some hideout materials

[wild sable]

i was legit spamming refresh and it was still sold out 😦

[misty ginkgo]

Continue spamming it. Don't ever stop

[wild sable]

roler gp coin vase psu motor xeno toolset dogtags filters meds propane fcond matches zibbo paracord, (if u have flea market)

[ornate owl]

save the dog tags

you'll need them for quests

[mellow elm]

On interchange is the car sometimes just not there? I literally spawned at power and the car extract isnt here

[glass lantern]

yeah its like customs, its not guaranteed

the only guaranteed car extract is woods

[mellow elm]

good to know ty

didnt even know customs was like that

[runic canopy]

i love how u can only see an elbow yet they can shoot u

[cold walrus]

well okay, glad i did a test run of woods

i looked at pestily's guide to woods with the expansion, he said 3k rub

for vehicle extract

turns out it's 5k

[runic canopy]

i just carry 50k in my bag tbh

[hallow pawn]

scav karma affects it

mines 7.5k

[cold walrus]

in your pouch i assume?

[hallow pawn]

probably docs case

[runic canopy]

pouch yes

[cold walrus]

how does one get a docs case? or any other kind of 1x1 case that expands?

increase rep at traders?

[vocal sorrel]

what is the cheapest thing to buy and resell to PK to get to 11k?

[runic canopy]

just buy usd and keep the usd

[vocal sorrel]

11k is a lot of usd no?

[runic canopy]

not really

[vocal sorrel]

big oof

[runic canopy]

eh might aswell

[vocal sorrel]

well, i did it

i now have 8k

[runic canopy]

its not wasted money

[vocal sorrel]

usd

true

[bitter patio]

I have no clue what I'm doing lmao

Is there no tutorial

[runic canopy]

u are the tutorial

[bitter patio]

Well then

[sinful valve]

Is zeroing reliable?

[lyric spear]

I had like 7k usd to I unironically bought 25 reflex sighs and sold it back to hi.

[sinful valve]

Seems like different ammo types fuck with it

[lyric spear]

(Not advising this as the best thing to do)

[bitter patio]

What do I do tho

Do I just play till I have no loot

[lyric spear]

Generally you want to play till you have more loot

[wild sable]

is skier lvl 4 worht getting?

[bitter patio]

How do I talk in game

[olive oracle]

i recomend just playing scav runs and offline mode till you learn the maps

[runic canopy]

if scav run would actully let u in the game right now and not be stuck on load

[lyric spear]

Change the servers you're playing on? I've had zero issues scavving today

[bitter patio]

How do I do scac

[lyric spear]

When you go to play pick scav instead of pmc

[bitter patio]

Wats the best area for a noob

[olive oracle]

id recommend learning customs first

[lyric spear]

It's on a cool down but you get free loot if you survive

[bitter patio]

Ok

[olive oracle]

also dont kill other scavs while youre doing scav runs

[runic canopy]

tbh i think interchange is much easier than coustoms way fewer and easier to find exfills no bs sniper scavs everywhere etc

[bitter patio]

23 would be midnight right?

[lyric spear]

You should Def learn customs but scavving on reserve and interchange has always given me good loot

[bold kernel]

how can i come back from a -0.51 karma for fence

im new

[lyric spear]

Right but you need to do a lot of tasks on customs

[vocal sorrel]

whats a good 9x19 ammo? pst or quakemaker

[bitter patio]

Is solo or group better

[lyric spear]

That's not too bad, if you do like 2 vehicle extracts as a pmc that should put you back to neutral karma

[mossy mica]

Scav on Reserve a ton easier than Customs imo as a new player. Reserve is open with no directional restrictions compared to Customs where getting around means looking for holes in walls, containers and so on. Navigation was super difficult to learn on Customs for me.

[lyric spear]

Learn to play solo first

[bitter patio]

K

My scavenging has a shotty

Wats the range

On shotguns in this

[lyric spear]

What's the ammo?

[mossy mica]

Ideal scav run you won't have to shoot a single shot

[bitter patio]

Idk let me load real quick

[glass lantern]

quake is leg meta, pst id go for headshots

[bitter patio]

How do I check how much ammo is in the mag

[lyric spear]

More important to learn maps than get loot as a newbie

[glass lantern]

personally id only use AP 6.3

[lyric spear]

T + alt

[bitter patio]

K

[lyric spear]

It will also tell you what ammo you are using

[bitter patio]

How do I turn down the wind noise

I'm deaf

[misty ginkgo]

Bring a headset 😄

Or a better.

[bitter patio]

Stupid scavenging dont have one

[misty ginkgo]

Turn down your game sound then

Wind is very loud in this game if you don't have a headset.

[bitter patio]

I'm loading and all I hear is wind

[misty ginkgo]

I usually mute my game then, until im ingame.

[bitter patio]

How long is typically queues

[misty ginkgo]

Depends on your servers

[bitter patio]

Canada

Idk the specific

[misty ginkgo]

Matching or queues?

[lyric spear]

Depends on the servers you picked + time of day

[bitter patio]

Matching

[misty ginkgo]

The queue in the launcher is world wide.

[misty ginkgo]

Depends on your servers then.

Mine are usually max 3 minutes.

[bitter patio]

NA servers

At 11

[misty ginkgo]

It's hard to tell tbh

[lyric spear]

I chose all sub 100 ping servers for me in Canada and solo it took me less than 2 minutes to drop into a game scav or pmc all day today

[bitter patio]

I've been in matching for 6 mins

[lyric spear]

Just requeue tbh

[misty ginkgo]

Press back and try again

[bitter patio]

K

[misty ginkgo]

There's a bug that you're matching forever

I usually say "max 5 minutes and press back".

[cold walrus]

well fuck me, i got sniped by a player who was camping in narnia

[bitter patio]

The winnddd

My earss

[runic canopy]

sheesh a m700 mag is 25k

[cold walrus]

just got my chest cavity carved out

[misty ginkgo]

I died to a TTV'er.

On his stream, he sat in a bush 😦

[cold walrus]

at least my guy didnt have ttv in his name

[misty ginkgo]

I enjoy saying GG and talking to them tbh

[cold walrus]

he will be very disappointed in what i was carrying

[misty ginkgo]

They're usually streamers with very few viewers.

They usually just want some free promo

[bitter patio]

I died to the ground exploding twice

[cold walrus]

2x3 sling bag, bank robber rig, crappy armor, low tier helmet, garbage headset

[bitter patio]

In my first run

[misty ginkgo]

Landmines

[bitter patio]

Figured

[runic canopy]

[misty ginkgo]

Why a sling?

[lyric spear]

There are landmines on customs?

[bitter patio]

Wats better 1 am or 12 pm

[misty ginkgo]

Nope

[cold walrus]

because im a cheap bastard and dont want to risk losing a good bag on a quick in-n-out run

[lyric spear]

I thought he was queueing for customs

[spark bough]

anyone selling labs keycard

[bitter patio]

Wat is the little fist mean with insane

[cold walrus]

i was queueing for woods

[bitter patio]

I hate woods

I blew up to 2 landmines

[misty ginkgo]

Most people do

[bitter patio]

The wind is so annoying

[lyric spear]

I don't hate woods I just find it boring

Plus I have no tasks there rn so no reason to play it

[bitter patio]

Only other players kill me as a scavenger right

Other scabs are freinds

[small blaze]

yes

[lyric spear]

Scavs are friendly, player scavs might kill you but it's rare

[bitter patio]

K

[karmic breach]

Basically, Chemical Part 4. Who's the best one to turn in to?

[misty ginkgo]

Skier

You don't wanna pay 1 mill

[bitter patio]

Is it possible to go the entire game with no encounters and just be a ninja

Lol

[misty ginkgo]

Yup

[lone garnet]

anyone looking to squad up?

[misty ginkgo]

Lighthouse mains entered the chat.

[bitter patio]

I would but theres prob an 100% chance i tolk u

Tk?

Tk*

Is it bad to play this game if u are easily jumped lol

[somber rain]

You get used to it

[bitter patio]

K

[karmic breach]

you might still get jumped even in higher levels from some stuff

but that's just part of the game

[somber rain]

If you hear shots, try not to worry about it, because if you are getting shot at, you're pretty much already dead

[bitter patio]

I got slapped by a scavenger cause I had a small heart attack

Lmao

[somber rain]

That is if you don't see them

[cold walrus]

my biggest issue is figuring out just how close those footsteps/shots are

[karmic breach]

comes with experience, kinda

[cold walrus]

like, 1 gunshot is loud af and is apparently far away, but then it's barely louder and now i have a bullet in my gut

[bitter patio]

Lol

I got shot by a scav point blank and I had no clue he was there

[karmic breach]

if it's far away just try to figure out the position and get the fuck in cover

[bitter patio]

Imma guess it was a scav

[cold walrus]

i unloaded an entire sks into a scav and it didnt die

hit center mass and everything

[bitter patio]

He was screaming Russian

Why is loading loot taking so long

[cold walrus]

also i got a crappy spawn, of course it would also be the first time i ever got that spawn too

despite all of my attempts at practice runs, i never actually got an outskirts spawn

then my first actual run in a while, and im at the exact opposite end of the horseshoe from the crashed plane

[bitter patio]

Loot shall not load

[cold walrus]

and then i get domed from nowhere

okay game, okay

[glass lantern]

always go for headshots with scavs

[cold walrus]

it wasnt a scav

was a player

[bitter patio]

I have a shotgun I think

[glass lantern]

^

[cold walrus]

ah

yeah i panicked, but i figured shooting for center should at least do something right?

scav didnt even flinch

[bitter patio]

I put a full pistol msg into a scav and he just yelled russian

[cold walrus]

and then it unloaded into my face at full auto spray

[glass lantern]

if your aim sucks, most scavs have a brief period where they yell or aggro you and do shoot for about 2 to 3 seconds so you can position your reticle properly

[cold walrus]

yeah that dick just chucked a grenade over a hill

thats how i knew the scav was there

[glass lantern]

scavs dont suffer from the same effects players do

[bitter patio]

I dont like things that go boom

[glass lantern]

things like contusions and blacked out limbs dont hit the ai as hard

not to mention its a waste of ammo and gives away your position

[karmic breach]

God I am starting to hate customs ngl, there's like no way to avoid someone when trying to extract

[spark bough]

anyone selling labs keycard

[bitter patio]

My games frozen

Tarkov is being smelly and wont reopen

I tabbed out and it wont open

How do I open it

[harsh epoch]

whats a good way to cheaply spend money on peacekeeper

[runic canopy]

what u mean cheap u spend 11 k 11k is 11k

[olive oracle]

does anyone know why i cant equip my tri-zip backpack onto my pmc? it just says "Exceeded the limit of item Tri-zip in the inventory (1 max)"

[harsh epoch]

yeah but i could buy something and flip it for a loss

[dull lantern]

hey guys does killing the usec rogues lower rep?

[subtle gazelle]

nopw

murder them to your free will

[dull lantern]

ty sir

[karmic breach]

you're probably stacking your Tri-Zip backpacks in each other, put it in the sorting table, put the other backpack back in your stash and equip the empty one

[olive oracle]

i cant equip a tri-zip if it has one inside of it?

[subtle gazelle]

Just know that if you kill them as a usec yourself, you'll be shot from a mile away because of the "traitor" status for a few raids as well so, just keep that in mind @dull lantern

if you're a bear, well they'll shoot you anyways so shoot em back lmao

[dull lantern]

ahah cool ok thanks

[karmic breach]

yep

[calm marsh]

What are the conditions for scavs to hunt you?

I brought a pistol, rifle, and rig, and they do the worm and fire on me immediately when I'm around a hundred meters away

[cold walrus]

FUCKING HELL

I ALMOST MADE IT OUT

BUT THERE WAS A VEHICLE EXTRACT CAMPER

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

just some random asshole sniping people who tried to use it

and he's a ttver too

and a fucking douchebag of one too from the looks of his channel

[misty ginkgo]

That's very normal

[bitter patio]

How do I fix loading

It takes long and its laggy

[cold walrus]

i would love to get into matches faster, is it normal for it to take 5-ish minutes?

well lesson learned

clear the extract zone before attempting to leave

[timid wadi]

Yes entirely normal. Sorry welcome to tarkov

[runic canopy]

i mean tbh if u in a raid for like 30 or so mins 5 min loading aint too bad

[cold walrus]

i don't want to be in a raid for 30 minutes lol

i want to get in and get out without getting shot by bush wookies

baby steps for me, thank you very much

[timid wadi]

@cold walrus do you plan on doing any quests, getting any gear, or getting any kills?

Cause if not then sure extract after 4 min

[cold walrus]

this is the 2nd night in a row ive attempted to do tasks

and i keep getting shot by goddamn bush campers

[unkempt yoke]

should i get ll3 for peacekeeper first or ll3 jeager first

[timid wadi]

You probably are just running around like its CoD. You need to treat the game like it’s real life.

[cold walrus]

im not though?

although part of the problem last night was that i was getting lost as hell on woods

tonight i have much better bearings

the problem is that i still get shot

[bitter patio]

Yah I hot so much loot but couldnt find an extract lol

[timid wadi]

You should watch a beginner tutorial on youtube it seems

[cold walrus]

i mean there was literally someone camping the extract

and i had to cross open ground to get to it

not much to do other than make a run for it

[bitter patio]

People do that?

Lame

[cold walrus]

yes, and yes it is lame as fuck

[timid wadi]

What map

[cold walrus]

woods

[timid wadi]

What extract

[cold walrus]

i was headed to the vehicle extract north of scav village

the one you pay rub to use

[timid wadi]

Lol

[bold kernel]

is a gas analyzer any good?

[timid wadi]

People camp that because its an easy extract to get out. Thats why people with lots of good loot go there

[bold kernel]

i got that and a antique axe

[timid wadi]

Hence why people extract camp it

Gas analyzer keep for quests

Do not sell

[bold kernel]

what about the axe its worth like 60k to jaeger

[timid wadi]

Ehh i sell them

[bold kernel]

is it used for anything?

[burnt vortex]

Curiosity the M1 and M2 Rigs. They're both tier 4 right?

Armor I mean

[cold walrus]

well that was just unfortunate aiming on my part

couldnt kill another potato like me

[bitter sail]

i got a question to anybody who wants to answer, im new to tarkov im a boomer what map should i play on to get used to everything

[misty ginkgo]

Customs

[wintry smelt]

m855 or m856?

[misty ginkgo]

M855

[bitter sail]

okay thanks

[cold walrus]

okay so really dumb question time: should i expect to die horribly until ive thrown enough corpses at leveling up my skills?

as in, should i expect to die until my skill bars rank up enough to prevent me from dying?

[formal bane]

yes

[cold walrus]

okay, that makes me feel much less bad about dying so often like i have been

not to mention the raw real-world experience of getting used to gunfights

this is me right now

[trim pollen]

10% surv rate. what map are you playing?

[cold walrus]

it just feels really bad looking at my post-mission exp and seeing "+97" or something pitiful like that

customs and woods so far

trying to do missions

[trim pollen]

customs is really hard at the start

[cold walrus]

oh, and like 1 factory run

that was just me on a scav run though

[toxic osprey]

need some help if anyone is available for a guided raid
