[open hedge]

Endurance 49

[fallen cargo]

you get 1 from a qwest

[bold kernel]

already got it

i think

it's the one from punisher part 1?

[fallen cargo]

the althere easyest way i now of is killing gluhardk and his men and hope 1 of his gardes is using it

[fervent turret]

one of the traders has a barter for it LL3 or smt

[bold kernel]

"the easiest way"

[fallen cargo]

yea there are barters for it later in the game

[bold kernel]

easiest way my nuts bro

btw im still on chemical part 4 who sohuld i give it to

[fallen cargo]

cant buy them on the fle anny more but you get the trad afthere you got the qwest so if you try and preget the item thats the way

[open hedge]

I got my second one off a sanitar guard

[fallen cargo]

its al the same but if you dont give it to skier you need to pay him 1 million

[bold kernel]

the balding junkie?

[fallen cargo]

yea

[bold kernel]

he killed me yesterday

[open hedge]

I always do prapor for the stuff then just ignore skiers payback quest (this strategy requires eod)

[bold kernel]

i dont have oed

eod

but im saving cash to get it

[fallen cargo]

when i lookt in to it if you do al the penalty qwest giving it to skier saves you like 300/400k

but you coud get som amo cases or med cases sooner

[bold kernel]

300k cash?

[dawn geyser]

Skier if non-EOD
Up to you if EOD

[fallen cargo]

cus of what the ammo cases and med cases are wort vr the penalty 1.000.000

[dawn geyser]

You don't have to pay the reputation re-gain ones

Can just do more tasks

[open hedge]

Ammo cases are like 200k early wipe and meds cases are like 5-700k

[bold kernel]

so skier?

ok can do

[dawn geyser]

Skier if you're under EOD, I would recommend

Unless you have a lot of time to dump in the game

Then it won't matter since you'll catch up with rep

[bold kernel]

wait so you loose rep and you cant gain it back?

[dawn geyser]

You lose the rep, but you'll gain it back through quests

[fallen cargo]

yes

[dawn geyser]

It will take a good amount of quests

[bold kernel]

pain

just

pain

[icy fable]

you get one quest that splits into 3, you can hand in one though and get consequences for the others and "rep recovery quests"

[bold kernel]

why is nothing ever allowed to be simple in this game

[fallen cargo]

if you are good and fast at qwesting you do them al in 1 evning

[bold kernel]

do i only get rep?

or rep und xp

[icy fable]

what did you expect? a fun experience?

[bold kernel]

no

i wanted a hardcore survival game

but this is not hardcore anymore

this is just CBT

[fallen cargo]

if you dont wanne kil your self afhter playing tarcof for a week straigt you are playing tarcof rong

[icy fable]

btw, you only get rep for the "making up" quests, not xp

[sterile minnow]

Did they fix this? When I did the turnin I didnt lose any rep

The multiple choice task, chemical part 3? Or something

[dawn geyser]

There was a bug in the beginning of the year where it would suck the reputation to the negatives

They disabled the rep loss for a while

I thought they re-enabled it

Maybe not?

[sterile minnow]

No idea, I did it early this wipe, Thankfully

[dawn geyser]

Ah ok

[velvet blade]

haven't played for some months, hopped into offline and scavs are FUCKING insane... is this an event or something?

[mint light]

unless u tweaked their difficulty

u just suck

lol

[prisma hatch]

SCAVS we’re changed quite a bit. You can find some of the new SCAV tier info here:
https://thetarkovhandbook.doctorsoup143.tv/AI.html

[mint light]

💀💀💀

dude is a walking plug

[mint light]

where is the what are scav bosses category

i need one

what is a scav boss

[prisma hatch]

Scroll down 🙄

[mint light]

why is it completely separated omg

reported

[prisma hatch]

Because they’re not SCAVs. They’re bosses

[mint light]

“scav boss”

[prisma hatch]

I will consider the change

[mint light]

why do u have tagilla in the hard tier

tagilla got me shivering

on fod

god

[velvet blade]

Well it could probably be Reshala at fortress, because I'm getting fucking beamed if I peek for 0.5 seconds, and someone fucking mounted the shit on top floor and fucked the shit out of my soul

[mint light]

reshala or zavodsky

his men are zavodsky

[prisma hatch]

Aka “The Bois”

[mint light]

the goons

doctorsoup

[prisma hatch]

That’s the old terminology. You need to stay up to date

[mint light]

i may have been wrong about your guide

it is very extensive

[prisma hatch]

And that’s only the beginning.

[mint light]

ok u should stop plugging it tho!

[velvet blade]

if you guys are helping new players like this, they'll fucking hate the game :D

[mint light]

they already do and they always quit

this game isnt welcoming and never will be

[velvet blade]

better go back to watching chads, I might have forgotten rotations and positioning D:

I literally got pinpointed by the zavodskies

what am I gonna do in online raid 😦 😦

[mint light]

die to reshala

[velvet blade]

oh that's easy

wait that's so hard

I need to go past zavodskies to meet Reshala himself

[mint light]

reshala is one of the easier bosses imo

[prisma hatch]

I’m honestly just trying to help people. I just want players to have the guide I wish I had when I was learning. I’m just trying to spread the word that there is a guide for new people that they can pop up on their monitor for maps, info, ammo, armor, etc. all in one site

[left summit]

never found this befor what can i do with it ?

[prisma hatch]

It’s a task item and also can be crafted to turn into car batteries

Which is also for a task

[mint light]

be weighed down

[left summit]

That damn thing has 43kg

[prisma hatch]

Yeah, it’s painful.

If you get it out though, that’s a task complete.

[coarse axle]

people use it for strength training also, throw it in an epsilon and run around with a pistol lol

[prisma hatch]

True. It’s not worth it if you’re new though

[left summit]

huh didnt know he can tank 2 headshots with 762 bp

[prisma hatch]

He’s a Tanky boi

[karmic axle]

whats the new update?

[left summit]

and also a flick shot master

[prisma hatch]

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

[prisma hatch]

Technical client update

[coarse axle]

whatever the fuck that means haha

[karmic axle]

oh cool

so its upwards recoil then

[prisma hatch]

That’s an older change. Idk why that’s on the embed

The wiki is weird

[ocean haven]

i just got lvl 35 but im not getting the private clinic task , anyone know why? i did health care priv pt 4

[austere hound]

Could try relaunching the game

[night finch]

can someone pass me an m4 build around 300-450k?

[bold kernel]

Does the crafting and upgrading times actually take the said amount of time? I feel like whenever i craft something for 30 mins and then play a 10 min raid it's done.

[fresh owl]

found an ak 101 mag on reserve. was expecting 5.56 FMJ or m855. got SSA AP instead.

[prisma hatch]

That ammo is too good tbh. @fresh owl

You over pen. Everything

[fresh owl]

its gone in my special ammo box

[prisma hatch]

[frosty whale]

how do i tell if im actually in an offline raid

like im p sure im in one

but like i heard shots

and the werent at me

and im scared

cuz i suck and i have good stuff

[bold kernel]

You don't lose things in offline raids

[frosty whale]

i know

[true reef]

Well he's afraid he's in an online one

[frosty whale]

but i dont know if im offline

[bold kernel]

Did you select offline raid?

[true reef]

@frosty whale Tbh if you don't remember putting it in offline mode just get out quick

[frosty whale]

i do remember it but is there any way to check

im like 80% sure

[bold kernel]

Die i guess

[frosty whale]

my ash 12💀

the stakes are high for me

im like lvl 10

[bold kernel]

What map are you in?

[frosty whale]

customs

and bosses are on

[bold kernel]

Just run to an extract

Avoid everything

[frosty whale]

ok

[true reef]

@frosty whale If you can would you send a full screen of your game rn

[karmic axle]

if u hear gunfire and it isnt at u

prob means its online

[frosty whale]

idk how to share my screen

[prisma hatch]

I’ve had SCAVs offline fighting the boss before

[karmic axle]

windows, shift, s

to screenshot

[bold kernel]

I think he means a screenshot?

[true reef]

yeah a screenshot

[bold kernel]

It's windows button plus print screen isn't it

[prisma hatch]

This isn’t always true with offline raids.

[karmic axle]

thats why i said probably

[unkempt hawk]

what workbench l1 crafts are worth it?

[karmic axle]

rarely happens

tho

[unkempt hawk]

i have a full scav box but idk what to keep

[karmic axle]

the upgrade to level 2

[karmic axle]

send pic

[bold kernel]

Beat me to it :(

[unkempt hawk]

whats level 2 thats good?

bp lol

i wish

[karmic axle]

hahah

[karmic axle]

what level

are u

[bold kernel]

My general rule is whatever you can consistently buy off flea for around the same price you sell it is what you shouldn't keep

[unkempt hawk]

15

or 16

[karmic axle]

how u doing

on quests

DVD, LCD can all be sold

[unkempt hawk]

just started doing them at level19

[karmic axle]

u have EOD?

[unkempt hawk]

10*

[frosty whale]

that is my screen

[unkempt hawk]

no

[karmic axle]

then keep the drill

need for stash

[bold kernel]

Turn in your marlboro

[unkempt hawk]

second best edition

[unkempt hawk]

i need ripstop now

what level can i craft that

[bold kernel]

Ah okay my bad

Forgot it still shows the golden mark

[unkempt hawk]

no i just turned it in

thx to ur message

[bold kernel]

Ripstop is level one toilet thing

The lavatory or whatever it's called

[karmic axle]

Lavaroty?

fuck it

idk how to spell it

[bold kernel]

Lavatory

[prisma hatch]

Shitter

[bold kernel]

It's level one and i think it gives you 2 per craft

It only takes 30 mins too and uses no gas

[unkempt hawk]

btw i just started my hideout

[true reef]

Wouldn't there be a code next to Beta or did they remove this?

If he was online

[unkempt hawk]

like a hjour ago

[frosty whale]

idk

[unkempt hawk]

so wanted to know whats good in level 1 workbench

[bold kernel]

Just look up the cost of each item in the workbench, then look up the cost of materials and do the maths

[unkempt hawk]

i crafted 2

[bold kernel]

For what? The quest?

[true reef]

Pretty sure you're offline

[frosty whale]

ok

like its weird tho

[frosty whale]

the shots sounded like back and forth shooting

and a grenade

[bold kernel]

You need ripstop not aramid

[frosty whale]

and i waasnt near any scavs

[unkempt hawk]

FUCK

[bold kernel]

Ripstop is the grey one i think

[frosty whale]

i was in a building

[bold kernel]

Lmao it happens my friend

[unkempt hawk]

that shit is like 50k again lmao

-100k

[bold kernel]

How much money you got?

[unkempt hawk]

2.2m

[bold kernel]

You'll be okay, run a few lighthouses, that's where i get all my cash

[unkempt hawk]

will i need gphones any time soon?

[bold kernel]

Yes

Broken ones?

[unkempt hawk]

interchange for me

[bold kernel]

You need broken gphones for a quest for ragman i think

[unkempt hawk]

whichj one for quest

[bold kernel]

Gphone not gpx

The one that looks broken you need for quest

It's for mechanic you need 4 of them

[prime comet]

i seem to have inherited your luck @spiral flicker

[bold kernel]

3*

[prime comet]

10/10 would scav again

[unkempt hawk]

ok bet thx

[bold kernel]

No problem, keep rechargeable batteries, cpus and pcbs too

3 of each

[unkempt hawk]

save or sell?

[unkempt ingot]

is this a good build?

[frosty whale]

ye it was an offline, i just extracted, thank you though

[spiral flicker]

gamin?

[frosty whale]

in the future is there a way i can tell

[bold kernel]

The diary or ssd?

[unkempt hawk]

both

do i need either

[prime comet]

i'm on wow now

[silver jewel]

decent, sight sucks tho

[spiral flicker]

ok

[prime comet]

gotta do my weekly dungeon

[unkempt ingot]

i like it

[spiral flicker]

no worries

[bold kernel]

I definitely know you need diaries but i always sell them cuz they're easy finds on lighthouse.

[silver jewel]

sights are by opinion, otherwise jts a good build

[rustic hazel]

60 rnder maybe

[bold kernel]

I haven't needed an SSD yet personally but im sure you're gonna need them at some point down the road. I'd just sell it.

[gilded terrace]

Hey guys anyone willing to teach me how to play tarkov i bought the game yesterday

[unkempt hawk]

yea i did

anything else that can go?

[mint light]

u have flea?

[bold kernel]

Keep the gas analyzers

[mint light]

need the ssd for security two or three

[bold kernel]

And the fuel

[unkempt hawk]

i did the therapist quest

fuel i know to keep

[bold kernel]

All of them?

[unkempt hawk]

do i need the gas on all the time?

[bold kernel]

No

[unkempt hawk]

idk i had to give her like 3

[mint light]

only when u craft

[unkempt hawk]

i want these so bad

so expensive tho

[mystic scaffold]

Anyone can help me learn this game I haven’t extracted once yet?

[mint light]

get med bags instead

[delicate cairn]

med bags might be easier for you

[mint light]

yeah med bags

get another

[unkempt hawk]

its over flowign lol

[mint light]

i have 3 medicine crates personally, might need another

[unkempt hawk]

are the crates alot bigger?

[true reef]

I did the barter trade as soon as I could worth it tbh saves me a lot of space

[mystic scaffold]

Anyone trying to team up

[unkempt hawk]

abt how much was it? off flea

like buying the barter off flea

or did you get them found in raid

[mint light]

one slot bigger

[true reef]

I already had some of the stuff so it wasnt that much. Cant rly remember now tho

Do the math and decide

[mint light]

med bag holds 49 med bag holds 48

[true reef]

you dont need 6/6 vaseline so maybe u find some used ones for cheap

[mystic scaffold]

Can I join a group

[mint light]

max clan

[unkempt hawk]

we can play

@mystic scaffold

[unkempt hawk]

i wanna learn that map really bad

just havent gotten around to doijg it

[mint light]

yeash

[arctic verge]

I've been playing a few weeks, farm some interchange. yesterday and today I ahve had a bunch of run ins with Killa. Never saw him before, but these past two days, getting owned. Did something change in game? An update?

[mint light]

no

[bold kernel]

does anybody have the rb-ksm and the rb-st key?

[arctic verge]

mmk. thanks. Just weird that I'm suddenly seeing him all the time now, mostly on main floor idea and oli

[bold kernel]

need to go to both of them for a quest but i cant buy them

[unkempt hawk]

just be super cautious, and also W interchange supporter

fuck the interchange haters @mint light

😂

[mint light]

every interchange player has low kills and rats in dark corners

[unkempt hawk]

will i ever need caps

i never see rats on here

[mint light]

that means u are the rat

[unkempt hawk]

thats a shit ton right?

[mint light]

150k

[rustic hazel]

100k

Not 150

[mint light]

id keep it

[mint light]

prices do in fact fluctuate on a player market!!!

😱

lol

[unkempt hawk]

288 wtf??/

[mint light]

[rustic hazel]

What zee fuck

Event overflow really fucked some prices

[unkempt hawk]

im extracting now lol

[mint light]

bruh extracting for 300k

[unkempt hawk]

i have other shit

but 200k isnt bad

[karmic axle]

i would too

[unkempt hawk]

people dont get 200k is a good chunk of change

on a scav run

[chrome ferry]

Why are you surprised by this in a beginner chat ?..

[coarse axle]

He just wants to flex on ppl

[chrome ferry]

I suppose

[unkempt hawk]

go into a experienced chat if u wanna ego people lmao

[karmic axle]

no he's just

GAY

[chrome ferry]

any idea why someone was using this on factory?

[open hedge]

Chadery

The fucking Christmas gun

[chrome ferry]

Fair enough

[open hedge]

That gun isn’t good for full auto cqb it’s much better at 40m+

At least that build isn’t

[mint light]

people fail to realize this isnt a beginners chat its just a calmer general chat. most people here are 2-3rd wipers coping

like reeses here

[open hedge]

I like helping

[coarse axle]

its people wanting to make themselves feel better and a few who actually want to help lol

[open hedge]

I use #weapon-modding as my general chat

[chrome ferry]

Would I be better off waiting for flea to sell the MK 17? Goes for 180K with mechanic but idk if that’s low

[mint light]

use it

[coarse axle]

just use it

[mint light]

its flea banned

[coarse axle]

jinx

[open hedge]

Can’t sell non fir items on flea

[mint light]

its flea banned

lol

[chrome ferry]

Ah right

Fair enough

[open hedge]

Plus that gun is a good dmr with a “oh shit switch”

[coarse axle]

wipe will be here in a little just use it. no gear fear it will only make you a better player

[open hedge]

Tap fire and that thing is very good

[mint light]

reeses when i ask him for meds

[open hedge]

I don’t play with you much

But I do carry a shit ton of meds

But I can’t even give people propital anymore

[mint light]

u can

[coarse axle]

yeah you can

[mint light]

u can drop like one or two

[open hedge]

1 per raid

[coarse axle]

i gave someone one yesterday

[mint light]

very helpful

1 prop is helpful

any prop is helpful

i love prop!!!

can u drop grizzlys?

[open hedge]

Yes it is but I often run with 2 others who can’t get propital (they are broke and low level)

[open hedge]

I pass my grizzly around often

[mint light]

new rmt method

grizzly in da pouch

[open hedge]

Moonshine still works for rmt I think

[mint light]

dont be able to drop anything

i want them to remove every item

[open hedge]

Cannot loot corpses to reduce rmt

[mint light]

true

[left summit]

i hope btc prices going up soon

[open hedge]

I have like 12 and I can’t sell them for so little

I might do thicc weapons barter if price doesn’t go up

[left summit]

yes same as me ,1 month ago they where 340k

[open hedge]

What’s sad is btc mine doesn’t even profit anymore

[open hedge]

Or at least it’s very minimal

[rigid wadi]

Hi

[frosty whale]

how do u change the zoom on variablr scope

s

[open hedge]

Alt right click

[kindred grotto]

alt + rq

[frosty whale]

thx

[open hedge]

I switched you probably should too

[left summit]

i build it for fun its my first wipe and i bought 25gpus from flea so i dont think i made profit yet xD

[frosty whale]

that just un-ADS's me

ok nvm

im stupid

i changed it earlier

my b

[open hedge]

I’ve only just built my btc mine like yesterday because GPUs are so cheap

I’ve never thought of using one until now

Scav case has been my only concern

[night finch]

can any veteran player with relatively high level answer a few questions on discord voice chat?

[cold fog]

is it better to sell attachments on flea or to mechanic rn?

[kindred grotto]

Depends on the attachment

[night finch]

check prices and make sure that you include flea fee on those numbers

[sleek burrow]

Hey can I get some help doing some quests on customs and factory please? If someone has the time!

[cold fog]

an sv98 supressor and a g fd917?

whatever the hell that last one is

[night finch]

just check the flea mate

check the flea prices and compare them

[cold fog]

you right

[night finch]

include the fee

any high level player here? need to ask questions on voice

[heady sundial]

what questions

[night finch]

questions about gun modding and combat stuff

also few economy and late game curiosity stuff

[heady sundial]

ask me in chat ill answer if i can

[prisma hatch]

I’m in text chat, but can’t in voice

[night finch]

at which number you consider a full auto gun's recoil is good? like "horizontal 90 vertical 39" etc

[mint light]

depends on the gun

[prisma hatch]

Anything under 80 is manageable

[night finch]

how do you tell it depends

[left summit]

i got mine to lvl 2 2 months ago gpu wear 300k-450k back then, now they are like 250k i think i also like scav case i got a injector case out of my very first 95k scav case

[night finch]

both ? because 130 horizontal is prettymuch spray and pray and i couldn't use them auto on midrange

[heady sundial]

Every gun is very different

ignore horiznotal recoil

focus on vertical

usually slower rate of fire guns

are alot more controllable with high recoil

rather than lets say m4

crouching lowewrs recoil shit ton aswell

[prisma hatch]

I only use 5 weapons because the rest are Garbo imo, but just focus on vert recoil if you’re trying to max a gun out.

[night finch]

I asked this question about hundreds of times but as a lvl 17 pmc and with only ll2 pk am I only stuck to RFB with m80 and UMP ?

[prisma hatch]

M80 slaps

[night finch]

also some combat tips would be appreciated

[heady sundial]

M80 is the BEST ammo in game

[prisma hatch]

Agreed

[kindred grotto]

m80 is the best ammo you can afford for rfb

no point using m62 or 61 in a rfb

[heady sundial]

rfb is the best bugdet weapon but 7.62 weapons are boring for me, the dmrs

[prisma hatch]

Combat concepts you need to learn to apply:
https://thetarkovhandbook.doctorsoup143.tv/Rules.html

[night finch]

i know i'd like to have some variety, I used stuff like flechette ammo saiga shotty but it is not sustainable since my jeager is ll1

[heady sundial]

everyone is running ak47n

thats like the best gun

for all stages of the game

bp or bt ammo and it slaps

really cheap to mod

and its fun to use

[kindred grotto]

akm?

[mint light]

NO

[night finch]

i will build one, do you have any budget and mid builds? I have 4 mill rn

[prisma hatch]

[night finch]

no? thats scary lol

[mint light]

its malware

dont click

[night finch]

LOL XDF

[prisma hatch]

Alright dude, that’s kinda fucking rude

[heady sundial]

generally use a buttpad, rvg black grip, slap a good compensator and a prefference sight

[prisma hatch]

At this point, fuck off.

[night finch]

will try.

[mint light]

exposed lol

[heady sundial]

its really cheap and effective

[night finch]

my problem is i can't handle auto guns at mid to long range, but while watching chad people play it's just laser beam m4s

[heady sundial]

thats because

[prisma hatch]

People try to min-max and it ruins games

[heady sundial]

chads have max skills, insanely expensive builds, good ammo, and nolife the game

[night finch]

also i am having hard time to kill people with high armor, people tell me to use leg meta but I can't really remember to aim to legs while having a stressed gunfight lmao

[heady sundial]

if you are not equipped for loong range

dont take long range engages

[mint light]

leg meta sucks ass lol

[night finch]

good to know

[heady sundial]

legmeta is shit, if you have bad ammo aim for head or dont fight

if you are undergeared dont take fights that dont sound or look good

[prisma hatch]

But seriously, @night finch that link has some really good combat concepts you could apply to overall become a better player. There’s nothing specific, but they’re all extremely beneficial when adopted.

[mint light]

malware

[night finch]

i will try that out too

[mint light]

if someones holding an angle u cant leg them lol

[night finch]

true

[heady sundial]

if you play on high ping

always peek first

also always ALWAYS right hand peek

[night finch]

i just ran a m4 and killed someone with grenade but m4 sucked dick at medium range

also my ammo was bad

[prisma hatch]

This child is annoying ( @mint light )

[night finch]

even grenades are better options

i wondered if i could use like slug shotties or maybe sks ?

modded ofcourse

[prisma hatch]

I wouldn’t run M4s tbh

[heady sundial]

m4s are the most fun wepaons in the game imo

hks aswell

[night finch]

yeah i just wanted to run a weapon that looks a bit cooler than the others lol

[kindred grotto]

hk gives me a headache

[heady sundial]

hk is a wildcard

[night finch]

they are fun if you have the option to gear and use proper ammo i guess

i don't have shit although i can spend money on flea

[heady sundial]

fuck ammo

run medium modded hk

hope for hipfire headshot

if not

die and blame hk

[prisma hatch]

I only run the RFB, SR25, MP7, RPK, SVDS

[kindred grotto]

yeayea this come shoot your m855 at my altyn pls

[heady sundial]

simple

if you run altyn you a bitch

if not you die

if not

hk sucks

[kindred grotto]

I use rys-t sorry

[night finch]

I really liked to play saiga too

never played sr25

mp7

[kindred grotto]

the hk first five shots give me a headache

[night finch]

rpk

[kindred grotto]

mp7 slaps and its cheap

[night finch]

lol nothing is worse than first few shots

[prisma hatch]

I don’t use top tier rounds either. I use M80s and Subsonic. They both slap

[kindred grotto]

those are top tier rounds tho

[night finch]

someone said that it needed 30 rounder mags and if i didn't use them it's pretty trash

[kindred grotto]

true

[prisma hatch]

They’re not. They’re middle of the road

[night finch]

what about .45 acp vectors guys

9mm ammo is shit so

[prisma hatch]

Top tier is M62+, FMJ SX+

[heady sundial]

if you aint got no money

m80 vepr hunter

[kindred grotto]

I mean m80 is kinda the best ammo you can use in a mdr, sure if youre using full auto m62 is better

[heady sundial]

until you get money

[cold fog]

so I wasn't paying close enough attention to my map for lighthouse. walked straight into a minefield

ow

[kindred grotto]

subsonic feel better imo

[heady sundial]

wjat elvel are you

[cold fog]

btw do the rogues at the water treatment plant shoot at scavs?

[heady sundial]

yes

dont know when tho, i think its random

[prisma hatch]

True.

[heady sundial]

sometimes i go past them they dont shoot me, sometimes they snipe me for nmo reason

[cold fog]

I wonder if it works on raider logic

[night finch]

17

[cold fog]

eg another scav has to piss them off

[night finch]

no one said anything about 45 acp vectors?

any idea about em ?

[kindred grotto]

ump >

[night finch]

i like the ump but...

you know it's a bit boring when you have to run it over over over over over and over again since lvl 5 lol

but if you say it's better, than i guess it is better as i have no experience

[kindred grotto]

Idk if its better like actually, im just biased

[heady sundial]

ump is bussin with ap ammo

first wipe @night finch ?

[cold fog]

seems there's a variety of things that can make them hostile but as a scav they mostly operate on raider logic. so don't go near them or shoot them or walk certain places and they'll mostly leave you alone

[night finch]

first wipe ever man

[heady sundial]

having fun with the game ?

[night finch]

just watched landmark and anne munition few times before buying

[heady sundial]

landmark is not good to watch imo

his playstyle is fucked

[prisma hatch]

Yeah, that’s not tarkov

[night finch]

my ass is a bit competitive so unless i pop few fools up i don't have any fun 😦

[heady sundial]

i understand, same here

[prisma hatch]

I hate that people think that’s EFT and try to mimic it

[heady sundial]

tarkov isnt like any game tho

even if you got the best shit

you can still die in 1 shot

[night finch]

i killed people with p226 no armor nothing and stole their gear but they had no idea and it was cqb as fuck

[heady sundial]

this game isnt about aim

this game is about knowledge

positioning

[prisma hatch]

They’re just turning this into COD trying to be the best ever and W key people

[night finch]

yeah landmark feels like this is cod

[prisma hatch]

I wish that play style was never popular on Twitch

I want the 0.7 feel back

[night finch]

i don't want to believe that it's popular on late game

yeah like

i bought tarkov for the slow plays

but people run like it's cs 1.6 lol

[heady sundial]

tarkov can be wwhat you want

theres many playstyles

[prisma hatch]

Most people haven’t been through the golden age of EFT

[heady sundial]

many ways to succeed

many ways to make money

[kindred grotto]

I bought tarkov so I could torture myself

[heady sundial]

keep in mind

this game

is brutal

and if you fall down and feel bad

its gonna make you feel worse sometimes

this game kicks you when you are down

so get used to that

[prisma hatch]

And it’s unoptimized and the devs don’t really care what you think

[lucid goblet]

I love em. Melt kids with fire rate and super low recoil.

[prisma hatch]

Remember that and you’re good

[night finch]

i just wasted money on stash upgrade so i am trying to get to the 5-6 million again from 4 million

[lucid goblet]

Brutal

[night finch]

any tips on that? flea seems to be fucked with all those new tax changes

[mint light]

shift w or dont play the game ez ez

[heady sundial]

dont hoard everything you pick up

takes up space and makes the game tetris for no reason

that was my biggest problem

and turn off

haviung to sort my stash for 20 minutes after every raid

[night finch]

yeah i just alt tab and check tarkov market for prices

[prisma hatch]

Keep 5 load outs and sell the rest

[night finch]

no my stash is kinda chill

i really like it tidy so i don't hoard

[heady sundial]

good

buy a junkbox

if you dont hae one

[night finch]

have one

[heady sundial]

ammo box

[night finch]

have an ammo box

[heady sundial]

good

[night finch]

and a med case

[heady sundial]

med case

id sell that if i waws you

[night finch]

my stash game is huge

[heady sundial]

and buy a medpack

how do you die

[prisma hatch]

?

Like the backpack?

[prisma hatch]

Ah

[heady sundial]

cheaper medcase

[night finch]

i dunno i just have it

[prisma hatch]

But it’s 20 slots and has 20 slots…

You could just not have one at that point

[mint light]

has 48

[prisma hatch]

Wrong field

You’re right

You should check out my handbook @mint light

[mint light]

u mean ur malware

[night finch]

ok guys so what i learned is

akm is a weapon i should use

i will trry vector 45 acp

[heady sundial]

akm

is ONLY good

if you have bp

which you probably dont

smgs are boring imo

[night finch]

i am pretty sure that someone told me akm or ak47n is fun and good

they are yes

i would use saiga ALL the time if my dude jeager had ll2

[heady sundial]

ak47n

is bussin

buy flecchete from flea

thats op aswell

[mint light]

ak74n cheap build and bt ammo at least goes decent

[prisma hatch]

Why were you impeached @mint light

[mint light]

?

[night finch]

yeah 47n true

[prisma hatch]

Ex-president

[mint light]

47 dosent exist

[prisma hatch]

Did the cult elect someone else?

[mint light]

i am not a president

i am now a priest

[night finch]

yeah whatever bro lol

[mint light]

the 47 isnt in tarkov

the 74 is

its the ak74 and 74n

the ak47 dosent have an N variant and its 7.62

[night finch]

found a sj6 stim on my scav lol

[mint light]

[night finch]

moneyyyyyyy

[mint light]

use it

[heady sundial]

sj6 is 60k

70 maybe

[night finch]

50k atm

[mint light]

sj6 is also like one of the best stims

[night finch]

but i am desperate

[mint light]

just use them when ur in a pinch

[heady sundial]

fuck stims

[night finch]

i can't even use morphines lol im just popping an analgin

because you know.. i am poor

[mint light]

instead of mule u can lowkey use l1 and like sj6 lol

analgin make u lose more money in fucking water costs

[night finch]

I really wanted to use and test different weapons like m4s and ak builds and sks stuff but this game really forces me to play rfb every time lol

[rigid light]

are all armbands unlootable

[heady sundial]

yes

[heady sundial]

why ?

[night finch]

why what

[heady sundial]

why does it make u playt rfb

[mint light]

bappo when he is wrong and says ak47n and confuses timmy

[night finch]

it's the only weapon with affordable sustainability and using good ammo

[rigid light]

Bappo?

[heady sundial]

what

[night finch]

even if i build a good m4 for example i can't play because shit ammo

[heady sundial]

you can

just hit head

use laser

m4 shoots fast

its not as hard as you think it is

[rigid light]

no i just have a person in some other server called bappo i got confused

[night finch]

yeah i hit head and dude has a god damn end game visor

[heady sundial]

who tf is named bappo

[heady sundial]

if he has more than a level 3 visor

unlucky

if he doesnt

he dead

[night finch]

you know what i won't give up

[prisma hatch]

Crack?

[mint light]

bappo maxxo

[rigid light]

people die to head, eyes as much as you do

[night finch]

i will try out m4s again in a different time and see if i can play better

[heady sundial]

m4s

are

weird

[mint light]

m4s are mid asfff

[night finch]

what then lol

fuck m4s

[mint light]

akm

[heady sundial]

m4s are fun

they are aight

[prisma hatch]

I was just elected Max Presidente

[heady sundial]

but you gotta be really good at hipfiring

[night finch]

name 5 different weapons other than smgs and rfb

[kindred grotto]

556 < anything else

[night finch]

that has playability

and i will test them out

[heady sundial]

ak74n m4 vepr hunter vpo shotguns

[night finch]

one by one

[mint light]

any gun ever

that isnt 9mm

[night finch]

coold

cool

i will play ak74n this raid

[heady sundial]

remember ammo is king

[night finch]

let's build a bad boy

[mint light]

ak74n is so cheap to build its crazy

[night finch]

yea ammo is king and i can't have any good ammo because nikita made them non flea

[heady sundial]

buy

bt

bt is king

[night finch]

let's see if it's looking good

bt ammo with ak74n

right?

[mint light]

its only like 200k for 45 recoil

[mint light]

bt ammo minimum

[night finch]

can u post me a build?

[prisma hatch]

DRT PC NO

[mint light]

DRT PC NO

[night finch]

what language is this

[heady sundial]

ill post ua build hol on

[night finch]

ho

lding on

[prisma hatch]

That’s what I said

[night finch]

what the fuck drt pc no means

lmao

i feel dumb in every aspect of tarkov

even in discord

[prisma hatch]

Only the pre-beta tarkov players know

Alpha armbands only

[night finch]

i wished i lived in a economically decent country

so i could've picked the game in earlier stages

[prisma hatch]

No you don’t

You’d just be even more sad and disappointed in its development like I am

You would have see what tarkov could have been and watched it turn into this

[night finch]

what do you mean

i mean

what is worse

just name it

[prisma hatch]

Literally almost every interaction with a player due to toxic communities and a focus on min-maxing guns

[night finch]

the only thing that shits on me in this game is gun modding

[prisma hatch]

Fights would last 5mins and would be the best feeling ever. Ammo and armor were at an equal power level.

[night finch]

i will build this

[heady sundial]

ait

u got skier lvl 2?

[night finch]

.2 missing

to skier 2

[heady sundial]

alr

get him to level 2

[night finch]

just need to get a flash drive

can't find one for 3 days

to level skier

[heady sundial]

jackets

[night finch]

checking every jacket i see

[heady sundial]

good

[violet sparrow]

Where would I find someone to help me figure this game out lol

[night finch]

i am a quick learner when it comes stuff

[night finch]

shoot questions

[kindred grotto]

go open safes

[heady sundial]

i can answer most of your questions

[night finch]

just weapons, weapons f me up

[heady sundial]

too lazy to get in raid tho 😔

wdym wepaons fuck you up

[night finch]

I can't test them

so i don't know if they fit to me or not

[heady sundial]

build shooting range

go offline

[night finch]

gun prices...

[violet sparrow]

Why is it so hard to kill scavs for me rn. Every time I die to one I either can’t tell where they are or I can’t kill then quick enough

[heady sundial]

almost every time they scream at you

whwen they see you

[ancient thorn]

how do i switch sights

my gun has 2

[night finch]

tarkov is different, you need to have situational awarness

[heady sundial]

check controls

i think it was control and right click

could be wrong

[ancient thorn]

im looking for it

[night finch]

maybe you are dying to sniper scavs on rooftops?

[prisma hatch]

CTRL+right click

[bold kernel]

wondering if someone wants to help a noob with learning customs

[ancient thorn]

ty !

[prisma hatch]

If you need maps here’s a link to some of the highest quality ones out there.

https://thetarkovhandbook.doctorsoup143.tv/Maps.html

[heady sundial]

doc

try to reupload the maps

they are

a little blurry

readable but little blurry

[prisma hatch]

? They’re crystal clear for me

[heady sundial]

maybe just me

but i gotta focus

t oread some stuff

o

when i look at the ss

its good

i guess its because its too zoomed in

[prisma hatch]

That’s not my map

Wait, yes it is

[heady sundial]

when i click labs

that shows

thats the map genie map

[prisma hatch]

I didn’t recognize labs 😂

Yeah, still waiting on a 3D one

[humble cave]

Thats on discord. It just links a random file most of the time from the wiki article.

[heady sundial]

https://eftmap.com/labs/

[ionic river]

How do you zoom in on the maps, CTRL+ only makes the UI bigger

[prisma hatch]

Woah old reference. I like the tracking lol

[prisma hatch]

Right click, open image in new tab

[humble cave]

BSG wouldn't like that

[ionic river]

Ah

[heady sundial]

use mapgenie, its the best map tool for tarkov

it has quest items scav spawns

boss spawns

everything

its one of the best tools out there

[prisma hatch]

I found them through sources anyone else could. Without mining

[shut parrot]

but it doesnt have reserve or lighthouse

[heady sundial]

fuck lighthouse

reserve

[ionic river]

I see I see

[heady sundial]

is easy

[humble cave]

@prisma hatch Doesn't mean its a good thing. Nikita gave a clear warning

[heady sundial]

what did bsg say /

[prisma hatch]

@humble cave where?

[heady sundial]

how is the build going @night finch

[humble cave]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/l02rbk/18th_jan_changenotes/gjt8hbq/

[prisma hatch]

I’ve been on the Reddit twice. Plus he mentions data mining, which again I don’t know how to and probably don’t have the capabilities to

[humble cave]

I didn't say you did anything in particular, i'm covering the topic you are on about here

[errant wedge]

Is spawnkilling your team not something they care about?

[prisma hatch]

If I got the knowledge from the community and from testing numbers, I don’t see how I’m in the wrong. I just did math.

[humble cave]

@errant wedge Don't group with randoms

[humble cave]

Again i didn't say you did anything wrong.

[errant wedge]

I've noticed even high level will kill me at start

[humble cave]

.

[heady sundial]

never, never play with random people if you want to play with people go to #pvp-lfg

[prisma hatch]

Alright, just making sure 😂

[night finch]

just went for a scav run

will build it now

[heady sundial]

alr

just so you know

i messed up the stock

you should go with a black polyumer stock

and a buttpad

[night finch]

hmm

can u name the attachments

[unkempt hawk]

im level 17, need to sell some stuff for item case $, what will i need and what can i sell?

[bold kernel]

Anyone know why my player only throws grenades underarm?

[prisma hatch]

I’m essentially just trying to put the important info from the wiki + other info on a guide for new players. Not trying to upset anyone higher up.

[errant wedge]

there a quest item picture on the wikia that helps me alot

[unkempt hawk]

wait fuck

i cant buy item case off flea?

dammit

i need one hella bad

[humble cave]

[heady sundial]

@night finch

[median niche]

hello, any advice on what else should I bring to raids? this is currently what I have armor/guns change depending on what I get

[prisma hatch]

Backup ammo

[bold kernel]

Ye

[unkempt hawk]

do you have item cases?

[heady sundial]

remove docs if not needing keys, take more splits or a better au split, take a surv12 instead of a cms since you got gamma

[unkempt hawk]

how do you hold all ur kloot

loot*

armor/rigs take up so much space

[heady sundial]

also wear face cover

EVERYTIME

even if its the sock balaclava

your face shines like a flashlight

[median niche]

what item cases? arent they for stash?

[unkempt hawk]

therapist l3

for rigs and stuff

can u send a pic of ur stash

i wanna see how its sorted

if u dont got cases

[median niche]

sure one sec

mostly just ammo I dont know what to do with

[unkempt hawk]

you should get a case for that

[static nebula]

so your stash is empty?

[unkempt hawk]

its like 100k

[bold kernel]

Anyone know why my player only throws grenades underarm?

[heady sundial]

left click over right under

[bold kernel]

I do left click and they only throw under arm

[heady sundial]

check controls then

maybe reset them

[bold kernel]

What would it come under?

[heady sundial]

you cant be running while throwing a nade

not sure

never heard that problem before

just reset to default

and rebind them to your liking

[night finch]

thanks

[heady sundial]

sight is prefference

alot of people run ironsights

[median niche]

yea I cant really screen it its too big, I had some boxes but I usually sell stuff so I don't need them I think

[heady sundial]

for even more budget

[unkempt hawk]

abt how many rigs/ armor do you have'

\this shit is taking up my invintory

like a mf

[heady sundial]

too many rigs

[median niche]

oh like 1 outside of my current

I usually die with them

[unkempt hawk]

i like to hoarde them

it makes me feel good abt suking at the game

[median niche]

its rare I find anything level 5-6, and I just sell level 2 ones

[heady sundial]

takes up too much space

atleast im bored of tetrising ever yraid

[unkempt hawk]

yea me too

[heady sundial]

so i just discard

[unkempt hawk]

i sell all thing below level 3

anything here that is dogshit

and can go?

well i can barter for avs now

and that one is 12 hp

toss it?

[night finch]

@heady sundial

[static nebula]

if you dont use the rig for storage, you should sell it

[heady sundial]

stock

[unkempt hawk]

i can put it inside another rig tho

[heady sundial]

sell rigs
