[quartz iron]

and no way did the first spray go over him, i didnt hit all of it but i still hit him alot

and this was the guy i fought before for like 2 mins

[coarse mulch]

how do i store keys efficiently?

[mint light]

docs case

and siccs case

[coarse mulch]

even in my stash

just buy a few of them

[woeful shell]

do i lose progression on the thing im crafting if i turn off the generator while its being crafted?

[bold kernel]

No i think it just takes longer

I know i was crafting pcb, and i turned off generator and it jumped to an hour from like 20 mins

Yeah just searched it, it just takes alot longer

[woeful shell]

oh so i dont have to restart the whole thing with putting in the ingredients again right?

oh wait does it multiply the total time of the craft or the time i have left on the craft when i turn off the gen and back on?

[bold kernel]

Lemme check if it resumes the original time if you turn it back on

[bold kernel]

You don't have to put in the stuff again, no. It just multiplies the time left on the craft to be longer.

[blazing brook]

i started with a knife and the cases...

[karmic axle]

free lion

ez

lighthouse?

[woeful shell]

ah okay, thanks

[blazing brook]

look at my container

[bold kernel]

Where'd you find the ledx, i've been looking for one forever now

[karmic axle]

leddy sucks

ew

[bold kernel]

It resumes normal time after you turn generator back on btw

[bold kernel]

How come?

[blazing brook]

shoreline has thousands of them

[vapid flume]

[bold kernel]

Why do you sort it like that

[bold kernel]

Aight cool i'll try there

[coarse mulch]

how many more days do you guys think its got to be close to the end right?

[karmic axle]

lighthouse farming is great :>

THIS shit is SO heavy

[bold kernel]

does it take time for the car exit in customs to appear or its there as soon as the raid starts ?

[mint light]

as soon as raid starts

[karmic axle]

its either there or its not

[tulip ocean]

Looking to help beginners or more experienced players with whatever loot gathering, money makin, quest completion ect.

Unlucky

[quartz iron]

what im wondering is why is there a dead scav and sanitar

maybe someone aggro?

[bold kernel]

if its no longer available that extract should be shown as red , right ?

[split dagger]

Sanitar was maybe in the other part of west wing and someone aggrod him

And they ran up

Just look at the wiki and take ur pick

[bold kernel]

kk

[austere storm]

why do bosses kill me when im a scav

or is it cause i dont have the rep;

[dawn geyser]

While you are between -4.99 reputation and +5.99, you are considered "Neutral"

There's a chance they'll let you go

also a chance they'll shoot at you

You're not allied until 6.00+

[mint light]

correct

[coarse mulch]

what 5.45 ammo is good and what is shit

[vapid flume]

just look at a ammo chart

[coarse mulch]

ok

[vapid flume]

this is good bp and bt are kind of mid

everything else is trash

thats not shown in this list

[marsh dagger]

ps ammo for 545 and 762 are my go to broke ammo

[vapid flume]

762 ps isnt that bad

[mint light]

5.45 ps is unusable

[unkempt hawk]

can i drop my friend an ammo case in raid?

hes lvl 5 and has like rows of ammo

[vapid flume]

no

if its found inraid yes

[unkempt hawk]

fuck okay

[coarse mulch]

is there negatives to not finishing the weeklys/ dailys that you accept?

[bold kernel]

Is there any way to not spawn in the same exact spot everytime you run a raid? I've ran lighthouse 5 times and all 5 times i've spawned Southern Road. It's getting annoying.

[silver jewel]

rate my gun

it is called the "size doesn't matter"

[bold kernel]

Have you gotten kills with it yet?

[silver jewel]

its a preset

sp

so

its funny

[bold kernel]

Boy i would hate to be the person killed by that thing

That's a clear sign you should get off for the night lmao

[minor mural]

Dude, sniping with AP-20 is so funny

[tropic cedar]

tell him to use rigs or just sell the shit ammo

[lethal heart]

can someone help me with money runs

[spiral mulch]

I got a glitch where I couldn't reload my SKS, and bullets were acting odd. I tried to disconnect via menu, ended up with a "Left the Action" and couldn't reconnect

[bold kernel]

No

[spiral mulch]

Was I suppose to terminate EFT from Task Manager to try reconnecting?

[silver jewel]

You dont disconnect via the menu

alt f4ing, as funny as it seems, is the fastest way to reset a glitch like that

by reconnecting

by choosing the "disconnect" button, you are forfeiting the raid.

[spiral mulch]

Man, in that case I royally fucked up

[bold kernel]

Alt f4 or task manager

[silver jewel]

therefore, you receive the "left the action" status and lose everything on your PMC except for what was inside your secure container,

[spiral mulch]

All of this is actually great to know, appreciated

[silver jewel]

np

[somber rain]

has 12/70 express ammo been good this wipe?

[silver jewel]

flesh round

[ornate owl]

how to be good

i’m shit at shooting lmao

I haven’t killed a pmc in ages

i got money i just need to get good ig

i’m tryin

i been playing woods and it was enjoyable at first cuz of all the loot but it’s so fucking dry

[royal mirage]

Do yall think T-45M1 is better than PS?

[ornate owl]

and all the clips i see of pvp on woods is a dude prone on a mountain sniping a pmc from 500 meters

[royal mirage]

i know how much pen they do but some people say T-4 is better because of the stats or somethin

[ornate owl]

link is at the top

i recommend you use it

it’s really helpful

[royal mirage]

oh bet

[blazing sphinx]

This good for 60 hours

[split dagger]

yes

if its your wipe

scav more

learn the ropes

[blazing sphinx]

I only got the game a few weeks ago

[ornate owl]

ain’t half bad

definitely scav more tho

[supple canopy]

max traders will allow you to do so much, I recommend that

[ornate owl]

ez money if you go woods

[split dagger]

ive seen worse stats

[ornate owl]

yeah you good

got the same sr as me

which ain’t mean it’s good but still

you aren’t worse than me

[blazing sphinx]

I’m good at woods

I’m glad I got nigh vision and thermal scope

[ornate owl]

loot usec camp, sunken village and caches

caches are best for money

[blazing sphinx]

I got game on may 8th

[fervent turret]

survive and profit

[ornate owl]

oh wow

well use this map https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

very good loot in stashes

avoid sawmill cuz stummy will fuck you and pmcs

[teal trail]

Pre good but flir on .308 MDR 🤢

[blazing sphinx]

What bad

[teal trail]

Flir sucks lol

Only good for scanning but it’s not worth running

[blazing sphinx]

I so I will have both

[grand quiver]

just got this game a few hours ago. anything i need to know before i start bringing out my gear into raids?

[teal trail]

Don’t bring a lot, watch videos about learning the game for beginners before your first raid

[grand quiver]

yeah ive seen a few and have figured out some basic controls

just dont know what to bring out

[teal trail]

Only 1 gun with 1-2 extra mags with an extra stack of ammo in your alpha

Car medkit in your alpha and ai-2 in your pockets/rig as well as esmarch and bandage

[grand quiver]

alr good to know

[ornate owl]

decent

[zinc robin]

1v2 labs

[ornate owl]

damn nice

[haughty pasture]

Anyone mind helping me with a task on customs?

[native lagoon]

i also have a task on customs if u wanna join up

[haughty pasture]

sure

how you wanna meet up

[native lagoon]

lfg reserve 21

[pallid ether]

is it better to use 762 ps or 545 pp/bp

[zinc robin]

762 bp is best for that and same for 545

but for 545 try to us bt if u can

[pallid ether]

cant get 762 bp unfortunatley

[zinc robin]

then ps is alr

[pallid ether]

ok, but should I use 545 bp instead? dont have the money or courage to run bt off flea

[zinc robin]

i honestly woundly even run 545 unless u can get bt unless u really have too

[pallid ether]

so should I stick to akm with ps?

[zinc robin]

yea

or if u have pk 2 and skier 2 run rfb with m80

its def a really good early game gun

[pallid ether]

I just suck with the recoil

thx for the help man, really appreciate it, this game is brutual

[zinc robin]

yea np

[young silo]

545 bp and pp are garbage rounds. If you wanna use 545 use bt/bs/pprs igolnik rounds. I usually run bs because you can find a lot of it in raids. Same for bt. But I run minimum bs. Igolnik is a seriously good pen ammo. Bs is less pen but better dmg.

[static stump]

whats the best thing to barter a labs armband for?

[zinc robin]

keep it

good armband

nothing really that good ngl

[minor mural]

I'm going to disagree, on one point. 5.45 BP is a perfectly suitable headshot round at 35 pen

I think BP and BT is close enough to be a debate. -2 pen, but +5 damage better recoil and no tracer. Cheaper too

neither BP or BT is very good. It's a poverty PVP round

Back when BP was 32 pen, I agree it was a garbage round. And PP is a garbage round, though it's okay for early wipe scavving

[brittle canyon]

pretty sure bp/bt gets a one shot difference against some armors

forgot which but it was significant iirc

[minor mural]

I'm sure it does. I don't consider BP a thorax round

it's a "fuck your face shield" round

[brittle canyon]

except relying on headshots on an ak is inconsistent at best

obviously you always go for the head - having good ammo helps when you fail at that

[minor mural]

you can't completely seperate the cartridge from the platform. 5.45 is bad, but its an economic way to get cheap 60s and is good enough for farming XP and trading up with some luck

[brittle canyon]

it's not "bad" tbh

but bp is "bad"

[minor mural]

I disagree, how is 55 damage and 35 pen bad?

it has less recoil than BT

and no tracer

BT is 50 damage and 37 pen. A noticeable upgrade against class 4, but a downgrade against the rest

just my opinion. I spray BP and don't feel bad about it

[brittle canyon]

"the rest" are irrelevant 5 days into the wipe

[zinc robin]

545 is pretty bad in general

but bs slaps

really only good ammo

[minor mural]

yes yes, and yes

well I'm also counting class 5s in the "rest". BT helps you gun down rat rigs

[zinc robin]

just use bs and bt is so inconsistent its insane

[brittle canyon]

eh I'd say entry level c5s and mmacs take around the same time

[minor mural]

I currently cannot acquire BS in any reliable quantities because Nikita said no fun allowed

[zinc robin]

and golnick is also ass

[minor mural]

igolnik is ass

[zinc robin]

prapor 3

and u can get bs

just do tasks not that hard

[minor mural]

I'm aware

[zinc robin]

alr then do ur tasks bro

[minor mural]

I'm not complaining, lol. Just pointing out for the peanut gallery that BP and BT are equal tiers. BP isn't significantly worse

[brittle canyon]

yeah bt against rat rig is 2 shots to 90%/korund is 3 shots to 90%
with bp same against rat rig but 1 extra shot for the korund

but against higher durability ammo bp falls off quick, 4 against m1 to 90% compared to bt 2 against m1 to 80%

should be ditching bp after early-mid wipe

[minor mural]

yes

sorry, I only got invovled because I disagreed that BP is "trash". BP / BT are the same tier, and readers that don't have access to BS should run their BP

[brittle canyon]

it... kind of is trash depending on the perspective

mediocre at best - complete waste of time in current situation

[minor mural]

alright, now I have a question. Does anybody know how much damage you need to take from a bleed to hit the vitality soft cap?

is it practical to join a raid with a bleed and let it run for a bit?

[brittle canyon]

could just stand on a campfire or wiggle your butt in barbed wire

[minor mural]

yes. I'm thinking more like "oh, I have a light bleed. I can just wait 30 seconds and then fix it"

[brittle canyon]

in raid while you aren't even trying to farm skills?

sounds risky

[minor mural]

yeah do we know the time?

[timber ridge]

Just keep bleeding and healing

[minor mural]

hold up. Dehydrating for jaegar rasies vitality and stress resistance?

noice

[hazy veldt]

lower armor damage and less penetration

Or well, compared to BT, the armor damage is actually slightly higher, but compared to bs it's lower.

also 55?

5.45 BP has 49 damage?

BP is fine if you're poor / don't have vendors though, but I'd rather run BT for slightly higher chance to two tap.

[limber cliff]

raiders gone?

[rain wing]

ok basically

atm

5.45

shit

[dry kindle]

is this patch close to wiping?

[rain wing]

7.62x39 gaming

[rain wing]

dunno

??wipe

[red current]

The last wipe commenced on 12th December 2021.

[rain wing]

safe to assume it'll happen soon

maybe around june even

[dry kindle]

is it random or do the announce it?

[rain wing]

random

they only announce it like

just a few days before

sometimes they announce it on the day

[dry kindle]

oh damn lol

thinking about playing again but i want to wait for wipe ngl

[dawn geyser]

Either way is a good idea

You can get warmed up before the wipe

[dry kindle]

yeah thats also true

[hazy veldt]

No more wipes

[digital pond]

Do you guys have binaural audio on or off?

[modest cargo]

always played with it on why?

[digital pond]

Just curious, i was looking it up and all i seen were some arguments on it being effective a year or 2 ago so I was curious if people use it is all

[misty ginkgo]

I don’t use it

Do use Steelseries Sonar tho

[dawn geyser]

On, always

No downsides to having it on

[stone surge]

mostly preference.
There also are downsides, you can hear gunshots/bushes from people way too far from you, which is annoying, atleast to me.

[misty ginkgo]

It has a lot of bugs rn

[stone surge]

It has. But vertical audio is not related to binaural audio.

The random sounds/gunshots are.

[misty ginkgo]

Voice Lines sounding way closer, weird sounds that doesn’t exist etc.

[stone surge]

vertical audio just sucks across the board in tarkov

[dawn geyser]

What makes you say that?

[stone surge]

This is common knowledge at this point and tested by Veritas extensive audio testing.

[dawn geyser]

Common knowledge that there's bugs with Binaural audio?

[stone surge]

The bug he is referencing is hearing random bushes/gunshots that are happening across the map.

yes

[dawn geyser]

That's not related to Binaural IIRC

[stone surge]

it is. Vertical audio issues are not related to binaural

which was what people also thought

but debunked.

[dawn geyser]

Was it the hour long video he did?

[stone surge]

3 hour, yes.

There is even a clip of the bug

[dawn geyser]

Happen to remember around when it was?

Nvm timestamps

[stone surge]

where someone on customs is able to hear a computer getting looted. The only computer on that map that was closest to him was in red container

While he was like 1km off

and sniped him

@dawn geyserhttps://youtu.be/-JNd2GASuPQ?t=7735

timestamp 2:09:00

is an example of the bug

[dawn geyser]

I remember this part - but I don't remember him linking it to Binaural.

[stone surge]

yes all of these bug only happen during binaural

and not uncommon either.

like hearing scavs screaming from way too far happens almost every raid or every 2 raids atleast when I used it

[dawn geyser]

Oh believe me I know it's not uncommon

Might play with it off for a bit to see if I can hear the bugs

[stone surge]

yea like hearing scavs from further than you should is something you get used to

I didn't even notice it myself at some point

but that bug, the ghost sounds is really the only disadvantage

[dawn geyser]

Could be advantage too

[stone surge]

so if you don't mind it; use binaural. if you don't like it; off. ^^

yes.

because the ghost sounds are 'real' they do happen somewhere on the map.

But the scav screaming and hearing bushes scratching randomly is what annoyed me and made me put it off

I also don't have much trouble locating enemies so I dont see a reason to put it on atm untill they fix audio bugs/vertical audio with it

[dawn geyser]

I wish I knew someone that used Binaural off

[stone surge]

most streamers.

[dawn geyser]

Interesting

Do you have it off?

For the most part

[stone surge]

Yes, but played with it on too for a very long time.

Sort of wanted to see for myself if I liked it after extensive use.

rather than hear peoples opinions, especially since it's so mixed.

[dawn geyser]

Hm

Interesting

Always thought the pop-ins weren't related

Cheers

Going to do some testing

[stone surge]

The biggest issue with sound (for me) is the vertical audio issues and that's not fixed or related to having binaural audio on or off

[sullen compass]

before that how does everyone have their normal audio like does dolby have an effect on top of this stuff

[dawn geyser]

Mhm. that part I remember dece

[stone surge]

Dolby / virtual surround in general is already simulated sound and mostly a gimmick in general. Tarkov is built around stereo and does not support surround in any way either, so I doubt it has any (positive) effect.

[hazy veldt]

Big if true, afaik Pestily has binaural on.

[dawn geyser]

You don't really want any audio altering for Tarkov, don't use atmos, sonic, stuff like that IIRC, stacking stuff can cause some bad combos

[misty ginkgo]

Everyone knows that.

[dawn geyser]

Nope, not everyone

[hazy veldt]

except the video posted above, Veritas literally doubted it

[sullen compass]

ok thanks i kinda figured that was the case but wanted to confirm or deny my sus

[dawn geyser]

Don't be silly thinking something like that is common knowledge

[misty ginkgo]

Idk how i know it, tested it at the start of wipe when making my Settings.

Found way more bugs, tried each for 2-3 days.

[misty ginkgo]

I don’t have time to see a 3h video about in depth stuff.

Doesn’t he end up saying that it’s because of that on?

[dawn geyser]

No, not exactly.

[hazy veldt]

He agrees that ghost audio is likely related to binaural, but most other issues are not.

[misty ginkgo]

What are they then related to? If he knows that

[dawn geyser]

Hasn't gotten solid proof that people with it off have ghost sounds

[stone surge]

The ghost sounds just don't or VERY rarely happen with it off, so it's a very easy assumption to make.

[misty ginkgo]

I don’t have as many, my friend has it on.

Sometimes he’s saying “did you hear that?”, when a scav is 100+ meters away

[hazy veldt]

which bugs do you mean though?

[stone surge]

Nikita did acknowledge the binaural audio implemention needs to be worked on and it should be their top priority to get fixed

together with vertical audio

(soonTM)

[hazy veldt]

As I said, ghost audio is likely due to binaural, but stuff like silent stairs and such are not.

[dawn geyser]

I think that was up on their list

Audio I mean

[misty ginkgo]

Ohh, yeah - that’s just the sound system that needs to be redone

[hazy veldt]

for me, occasional ghost sounds are well worth the benefits.

[misty ginkgo]

If just they had a Trello we could follow, there’s a lot of game devs that have it

[stone surge]

the silent stairs only happen when you're below on the stairs. The moment you level, you're not silent anymore. So if you wanna flank in let's say Resort, your best bet is to do it from below rather than on top.

hearing people above you is almost never an issue, below you is.

[hazy veldt]

and even the specific timestamp the video was linked at, is literally ghost sound getting that guy a kill he wouldn't probably have gotten without the bug 😄

[dawn geyser]

The don't want their hands to be bound i'm sure is the reason

Same reason why they don't announce wipe dates

[hazy veldt]

Yeah, it's purely an occlusion issue, well covered near the start of the video.

[misty ginkgo]

Having their list of stuff to be added doesn’t make them bound to do it.

Call the first tab “Ideas”, and add a shit ton of ideas of features.
If it’s possible to like or dislike it aswell - would be perfect

[dawn geyser]

You say that but

You know how some of the Tarkov community is

[misty ginkgo]

Either people like or dislike the features.
Simple

If people bot or make accounts to get more likes they are just sad

[dawn geyser]

It will happen

[stone surge]

They pretty much did this already, except through a reddit topic *

[misty ginkgo]

Can you link it?

[stone surge]

Sure, sec

[stone surge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/smm48z/hey_active_players/

the most common feedback was audio rework

and Recoil

[misty ginkgo]

Arena

[hazy veldt]

Arena sounds both amazing and cursed.

[misty ginkgo]

Arena is gonna make the game so fun

If people don’t rat ofc

[hazy veldt]

amazing in that it'll let you pvp whenever you want, but cursed because it might make normal game pve rat heaven

[misty ginkgo]

A rat free map

[hazy veldt]

I doubt it.

If by rat you mean people holding angles.

[misty ginkgo]

Honestly think that chads is still gonna play the good maps

Arena is just gonna be a “chill and pvp” type of gamemode/map.

[misty ginkgo]

Pretty much.

Crouch walk, sit in rooms - stuff like that

[hazy veldt]

people camp in other games too though

siege, cod, battlefield etc.

[stone surge]

BSG made it the way it is over the course of years; slower paced.

Tarkov was initially a pretty fast paced game.

to a certain extent ofc, it's still slower than most other fps titles.

[orchid salmon]

This is indeed definetly a possibility.

But until we really know how arena's gonna be / implemented, hard to say. I'm definetly waiting for it's arrival but wont put my full hopes on it just yet.

[solemn raptor]

Honestly I think arena will boost tarkov into the game that Nikita wants it to be. Chads really aren't supposed to be here, you're supposed to play slow right.
So arena takes all the chads, and you're left with the people who play the game the intended way.

One possibility anyways :/

[orchid salmon]

If Arena is going to be anything tactical and/or strategy based gamemodes, which I think it will, it's not going to be "chad heaven" in the sense that people will still play very slow and camp it. It's just gonna be gueranteed PvP instead of having to "find" people that (want) to play PvP like in "normal" raids at this point of wipe.

[stone surge]

I don't think that's the intention. It's going to be a completely different game that is somehow tied to Tarkov. It'll be more of a shortterm gamemode you can play or when you want to jump straight into action. The 'chads' you refer to are the ones that spend hours and hours playing the game and love the organic way of finding players/looting (atleast, that's my assumption).

[hazy veldt]

Most chads that I know, hate dead maps and chasing pvp, instead of getting it guaranteed.

[stone surge]

Not knowing where enemies are or if there are even players is part of the fun. In arena you KNOW there are players and you need to kill them to win

if anything, I think it'll draw more casual players than 'chads'.

Because it's very approachable and gives everyone an even playing ground unlike Tarkov

[orchid salmon]

I know for a fact that a bunch of chads I play with in a community is eagerly awaiting for Arena to play competitively, now we have to organize our own PvP events to scratch that itch and get stacked lobbies at this point of wipe sometimes. But until we know more, it's guessing at this point. I'm just patiently waiting for more details 🙂

[stone surge]

That's mostly because maps are intended to have a minimum size of PMC's, which doesn't exist right now. This is not really an issue the first 3 months in the wipe where there's pretty much guarenteed 6+ pmc's on every map (aside from labs). But right now it's very possible to just spawn with 1 PMC even though it should have a minimum of xx pmc's.

The organic way of finding players and loot I referenced to is during times where a map has a healthy number of players. A dead map just sucks.

[hazy veldt]

We'll have to see how arena turns out and how large the maps will be.

I know several people who would much rather prefer resort only with guaranteed people who are in it to pvp and not rat.

[orchid salmon]

That's what you have community events and tournaments for at this stage, but it's really community driven en takes lots of organizing and energy, from personal experience 😛

[hazy veldt]

Then again, I also know several die-hard rats who avoid shots and hate pvp.

[stone surge]

Same could be said for low level players. Especially very casual players that only have a few hours a week to play. They'll be for sure drawn to Arena. So it's not like it's just chads that are interested in Arena and Tarkov will not suddenly be void of chads.
It'll just be a different game with Tarkov gunplay/mechanics pretty much.

[misty ginkgo]

If they make skill based matchmaking and somehow can track how much a player moves in one raid - it would be perfect.

If people run around and Shift + W he fights people that do the same, and if he rat he meet people that rat.

Idk how they are gonna keep track of that stuff tho

[hazy veldt]

hah.

just check your corners.

[wet solar]

why isnt anyone selling tootphase normally? people are only bartering it

[misty ginkgo]

Hard

[misty ginkgo]

THICC case

Is that barter even worth 💀

[wet solar]

do you find them in med spawns or provision spawns?

[stone surge]

Rats are not even a big problem in Tarkov tbh, slow walking is loud af in tarkov and even slight movements make super loid noises

[misty ginkgo]

Toothpaste, idk tbh

[olive bough]

In medical supply crates, duffle bags, med bags

[orchid salmon]

sbmm for arena would be epic, track how much a player moves? kekw.

[misty ginkgo]

To know if they sit in a room, or actually move 🤷

[hollow jay]

where can i find nails im trying to make my stash bigger

[icy fable]

tech loot spots, tool boxes, coats

[hollow jay]

ok

[icy fable]

some more places, like hidden caches, sports bags (probably as well)

[hollow jay]

ok thanks

[icy fable]

together with nuts and bolts, they're a generic technical spawn

[shell kraken]

can help new players in reserve; RB-St key, bunker doors, hunting raiders exc

[jagged laurel]

That might work but it would ruin the diversity of the game

Which would make it feel like cod and not tarkov

Which I don’t think is a good thing for the game tbh

For a new player finding a juicy chad is terrifying or exhilarating if the get the chads loot

It adds a rare dynamic that is beautiful

[idle gulch]

guys i need help to complete my quest (gunsmith part 2)

[idle gulch]

i cant find 2 attachment (grip and magazine )

[icy fable]

peacekeeper level 1 sells the foregrip

the magazine can be crafted in lavatory (level 2, I think) or bartered from prapor level 2 (if you've done his ice cream quest)

or found (uncommonly) in zb 014 on woods

[barren scroll]

using this 2 worth it or better sell to trader?

[icy fable]

tasty

[olive bough]

Slick for sure, hex you can try to see how it repairs

[icy fable]

you don't get stomach protection, but they are great armors

[olive bough]

Omw to magnum buck your stomach

[olive bough]

Worth

[icy fable]

use both, they are nice

[idle gulch]

oh i should go for hard one im new to the game so my lavatory is 1 and prapor is 1 too

[icy fable]

I got my first fort armor yesterday 😄 looking forward to using that (had to drop fuel to carry it though)

I officially hate the mechanism bag, couldn't carry fuel and the fort armor -.-

and I only used it that one time...

it went immediately to the ragman

[olive bough]

Mechanism kinda shit

[hollow jay]

witch does more damage 366m or 762x51

[olive bough]

Unless ur doing a loot run

[olive bough]

Generally 366 does more

But less penetration

[icy fable]

I was... found 2 armors and 1 fuel tank... only 1 of which fits in mechanism bag

[olive bough]

[icy fable]

pain and suffering

got docs, book and a vase as well though + assorted info items

so I really can't complain

[olive bough]

Info items

[barren scroll]

т . т

[icy fable]

exactly

lost one of those on labs after debating for a while on which gear to bring

lessons were learned

and something weird happened on a labs round yesterday, bumped into a guy, (I had mpx AP, he had 7.62x39 bp), firefight ensued and I hit him (what I felt like were a couple of times) through a door window (i'm sure that whatever landed were headshots), he started wheezing in pain and killed me, end screen showed 1 hit and 1 damage (33 absorbed by armor)... did it do any damage besides that 1? how was he wheezing in pain when it showed 1 damage?

[hollow jay]

it wont let me put a pu3.5x scope on my mosin

[remote kettle]

Need the kochetov and the ring mount first. Also only the sniper variant cant use it

[hollow jay]

it says it works for all mosin

[remote kettle]

It doesnt

Sniper variant only

[barren scroll]

mosins even with 15+ lvl mostly without scopes) you need jaegers quest to get mosin rail

[icy fable]

by lvl 15 you can barter with prapor (level 2) for a sniper mosin, if so inclined, with mount and scope included

[karmic axle]

new update? 😄

[icy fable]

there were changes, but not really an update, I believe

[olive bough]

Technical patch. Nothing important

[karmic axle]

okay

where do cultists spawn on woods?

other than buried village

[brittle canyon]

marked circle

[karmic axle]

sunken?

idk

i know markee circle

but they dont actually spawn there

[brittle canyon]

there are two

[remote kettle]

Both circles

[karmic axle]

i know

i meant

more spcifically

[remote kettle]

Near the violet spawn checkpoint

[karmic axle]

they spawn next to sawmill main building?

nearer to violet car?

ok

[remote kettle]

Not in sawmill, but near the checkpoint. Slightly left of that car is the marked circle

[karmic axle]

im not asking

where the circle is

nvm forget it

ajdoaowaoa

[brittle canyon]

they spawn near the circle

[remote kettle]

If you know where the circle is why do you ask where the cultists are… They spawn near the circles

[karmic axle]

They dont

wsell they do

but depends how u define "near the circle"

ive seen them spawn at sawmill

in videos

thats why im asking

[brittle canyon]

they can patrol

and sawmill is pretty close

[slow ridge]

Q: how do i tell if there is a player of a scav while being scav

[karmic axle]

movement

scavs dont really run that much anymore

[slow ridge]

ok thx

[karmic axle]

also

if they like keep runnig continuosly

without stopping

100% player scav

is this cultist

bruh i didnt even know

i was at attatchment hut 😦

damn

[icy fable]

from wiki:

Cultist warrior names are hidden, instead appearing as "Sektant", a loose translation of "Cultist" to Russian.

[karmic axle]

oh

thats cool

didnt knopw that

but whoever said cultists scary af

yall right

[icy fable]

it's not only a cultist name, it means cultist

[karmic axle]

all i heard was 1 warning shot

it hit wood

and the next was just head nape

[icy fable]

the trick to them are having a door between you and them and waiting for them to open it, line up shot (or shoot through the door beforehand), close door and repeat until all are dead

[karmic axle]

attatchment shack

has no door

;-;

i think is

[icy fable]

but the no-noise, stabby-stabby fuckers are scary, yes

nope, that doesn't have a door

[karmic axle]

fuckers didnt even try to stab

head nape instant

RIP oscope that i found 😦

[wet solar]

oscopes are pretty common nowadays, dont dwell on what happened

[misty ginkgo]

Better Price at the rapist than Flea

[bold kernel]

at what fence rep will scavs start to listen to my orders ? currently im at 1.01

not talking about bosses or boss bodyguards

[karmic axle]

i need for private clinic bro

[karmic axle]

its a chance

u can try at 1.0

some might some prob wont

[tropic elk]

Just got the game last week, should I be running scav and collecting to sell or running PMC?

[icy fable]

both, pmc for quests mainly (at this point) and scav for pure, money making looting runs

[tropic elk]

I’ve pretty much memorised interchange now so might start running PMC to level up?

[bold kernel]

can the CMS medkit be used to get back health points as well ?

it shows 5/5

[icy fable]

interchange is rather nice to make money, personally I mostly run it with scav though, it's a bit much solo, too many angles

[bold kernel]

or is it only for treating stuff like bleeding or fractures

[icy fable]

look at your quests and start focusing on some simply

[icy fable]

cms will only repair blacked limbs, it will put a limb from 0/X to 1/Y (you lose max limb hp on repair)

but it won't heal you

[tropic elk]

Will do, nice one 👍

[bold kernel]

OH WOW i was actually looking for a way to get back a blacked out part

[icy fable]

you'll need to repair limb to 1hp and then use a Car/ifak/salewa/health kit

[bold kernel]

i guess the ultimate combo would be a cms and a selawa or something like that in my pouch

[icy fable]

indeed

[bold kernel]

wow thats very usefull

thanks for telling me

[icy fable]

which pouch do you have?

[bold kernel]

the alpha one sadly

how do i get a better one ?

im lvl 10 and unlocked jaeger

[icy fable]

it's rather common to run your main health items in your personal container in the start, so you don't need to buy new ones all the time

[sharp onyx]

Can someone explain why bot scavs are aggro on me when I do a scav run? ....it happened on lighthouse only twice.. my fence rep is somewhere like 0.6

[icy fable]

the simplest way is to throw money at the game, better version = better personal container

but at some point you'll simply be able to buy a better one from a trader

[bold kernel]

cringe

[bold kernel]

do u know when exactly ?

[icy fable]

peacekeeper level 2 barters the beta container against some high-tier loot

and when I say high-tier, it's freaking expensive stuff for your current definition

above 1 mil, give or take

[bold kernel]

oh i got like 3 mil

and i dont really buy anything

after i play for a while and get full inventory i sell everything in it and then i go again with just a pistol and pouch

and get my inventory stacked again

[icy fable]

careful doing too many runs like that, there's a form of protection against it

[bold kernel]

wait what

[icy fable]

you become tagged/cursed, which makes the scavs literally KNOW where you are and hunt you

it's to stop people doing runs where they run into a round with just a melee weapon

[bold kernel]

doesnt that happen only if i have bad fence rep ?

and i dont do that always

only for the first few runs after i sold my inventory

then i take normal guns with equipment like aks shotguns

armor

[icy fable]

bringing a rig + 1 weapon is enough to stay clear of those effects though

and it's only after X runs in a row where you get that state

[bold kernel]

is there a way to know if i have that effect on me ?

[icy fable]

can't remember the specifics though

do scavs try and shoot you through walls and rush you?

if not, you're fine

[bold kernel]

oh cyka it may be already happening

one did it last raid but not the others

[icy fable]

then he simply felt like rushing you, but the dead giveaway is a scav shooting a wall next to you, which can't be penned and just trying to spray you down

[bold kernel]

got it

thanks for the help

[quartz iron]

time to test some overclocks on my new pc, tarkov is a single core focused game right?

[icy fable]

rubs hands gleefully ohh boy here we go

yes it is

[quartz iron]

xd went from 3.8 to 4.2

lets test

[icy fable]

what are you overclocking? cpu model and cooler?

[quartz iron]

the cpu

base clock speeds

went from 3.8 to 4.2

[icy fable]

yeah, but which cpu model and with which cooler?

[quartz iron]

userbenchmarks seems fine, only 1 core exceeded a max temp of 82

i7 5820k

its watercooled

corsair

[icy fable]

😄

nice stuff

[quartz iron]

using some sort of mineral water shit

[icy fable]

changing any voltages and where are you setting clock rates? software or bios?

[quartz iron]

yeah as far as I saw people recommended 1.3V safe

i went a lil under

to 1.2

5

1.25

[quartz iron]

whats the name of the app that i can log temps while ingame

[olive bough]

#beginners-assistance btw

[quartz iron]

i dont think core temp has it

[olive bough]

#general-chat might be better

[quartz iron]

maybe #community-support rather no>

general chat is crowded asf

[olive bough]

Haven’t followed convo, if you have problems with tarkov itself then yes, if it’s just tips for OCing then general

[quartz iron]

i mean im ocing for tarkov and trying to test the performance differentials

since its a 1 core cpu focused game

[austere mountain]

is it bad time to start playing then since it’s middle of the wipe

[icy fable]

never a bad time, even to gather experience in preparation for the next wipe

[dusky geyser]

no thats #eft-chat

[icy fable]

#eft-chat is a myth, we don't go there

[olive bough]

Good way to improve your mental health. That place is kinda not cool

[icy fable]

when I started playing it took me all of 20 seconds to understand that the really interesting conversations were in the "beginner" section, and main chat is a toxic cesspool

[tender cairn]

is modding hard and complicated to do during a start?

[stiff fractal]

during a start?

[tender cairn]

like first starting

cause i know modding is important asf in this game

[bold kernel]

Yes, it will be kinda hard to learn all the gunparts, what they do, and what's the best per cost, etc. But eventually after playing the game for a little you will know it.

[tender cairn]

is that sideways grip the best or smth because in every video i’ve seen any modded gun had that thing

[bold kernel]

For some builds yes, for others not.

[tender cairn]

alr

is there like a shooting range or anything

[bold kernel]

I would watch some videos on mods on YouTube and copy someone's builds until you learn how to make builds

[bold kernel]

Yes in hideout but you need to make it

[tender cairn]

does it use ammo that you buy or

[bold kernel]

No

[remote kettle]

Usually not, but people use the middle finger knuckle as a ”crosshair” as thats where the gun will point when adsing

[tender cairn]

so it’s like infinite ammo in there

[remote kettle]

Ye

[tender cairn]

nice

[cold fog]

Are there any good 5.45x39 weapons fairly early game? I've saved up a lot of decent ammo for that caliber but most of the guns I use are 762

[tacit ferry]

What it say

[karmic axle]

true af

Assitance is beginner's chat iwthout slow mode

evne if u removed slow mode now we would still use this

[cold fog]

they already did remove slow mode

[tender cairn]

go to #eft-chat and check the pins

[tender cairn]

did u choose usec

[cold fog]

Yes

[ornate owl]

nerd

[tender cairn]

wait

idk if the starter m4 for usec uses that caliber

prolly wrong just saying

[cold fog]

I'll double check. Thanks!

[bold kernel]

i went as scav in factory

tagilla attacked me

on sight

i shot him

he goes behind cover

but if i kill him

it fucks my fence rep

right >

[ornate owl]

yea

don’t kill him

loot is mid and you lose a ton of rep

[bold kernel]

he was such an easy kill too goddamn

[karmic axle]

LMAO

[bold kernel]

he was like 5 meters in front of me but he decided to keep using his gun instead of chasing me with his sledgehammer

[cold fog]

His armor is drip what do you mean lmao

[ornate owl]

it’s mid

[hollow jay]

where should i go to get guns

[bold kernel]

imagine if you could get his sledgehammer when killed by chance like how u can get the red rebel from shturman

[bold kernel]

did u go in a raid yet ?

[hollow jay]

ive been on many

[bold kernel]

well go as a scav on factory and instead of rushing the exit try to look around a bit

or go on customs as pmc with a tokarev or makarov and take out scavs

[hollow jay]

ok

[bold kernel]

they are cheap from prapor

like 7-8k

[hollow jay]

i have guns i i just want gear to sell

[wraith gazelle]

how do I tell from a scav and a pmc? I keep running into people and instantly dying all the time.

[bold kernel]

from a distance its very difficult , watch for their movement

[ornate owl]

if they’re scav they yell things

[hollow jay]

becuase i have no money

[bold kernel]

if its robotic its scav

and scavs yell in russian

[ornate owl]

yeah scavs also have more colorful clothing

pmcs tend to have camo or black stuff

[bold kernel]

they have tracksuits and colorfull hoodies yeah

[pure talon]

The winner will receive a full kit. Batteries included.

[ornate owl]

bro do you do this every day

[bold kernel]

greg btw how does the car extract in customs work

i spawned right next to it and in 30 seconds i reach it and its not there

[ornate owl]

some times it’s there

sometimes it’s not

[bold kernel]

oh its based on chance ?

[ornate owl]

and it’s single use so if someone else uses it it disappears

yeah and you also need to bring rubles for it

[bold kernel]

ik

[ornate owl]

it also takes 60 seconds from the time you pay to extract

so you will usually want to run and hide in a bush until the last few seconds

[bold kernel]

dont u have to stay right next to it

like almost sticked to it

[ornate owl]

yea you have to be next to it when it leaves

some of them have weird areas so when you’re about to extract it’s best to sit still because you can easily walk out of the extract zone

[inner mountain]

how do you unlock ps12A ammo

wiki doesnt say

[misty ginkgo]

Prapor 3?

Is it quest locked?

12.7x55mm PS12A

The 12.7x55mm PS12A (PS12A) is a 12.7x55mm STs-130 ammunition in Escape from Tarkov.

[serene remnant]

think so

[inner mountain]

it says quest locked yes not sure which quest

assuming punisher pt something or other

[cyan stirrup]

Ps12b is the big dog ammo, locked behind grenadier, not sure about 12a though

[kindred grotto]

look at the wiki, does it say quest locked???

[inner mountain]

my mistake it was B I was looking for

letter confusion

[cyan stirrup]

Yeah grenadier, 12 grenade kills, I think it's prapor

[inner mountain]

you guys are cool dont go to factory today

[serene remnant]

why? haha

[kindred grotto]

youll get impact'ed

[misty ginkgo]

ASH-12 is hot 🤤

[serene remnant]

i have died to impact nade once. grenadier sucked

[inner mountain]

Ive stockpiled 30 impacts and imma be runnin wild for the next hour or two

[cold fog]

Am I the only one who hates the RPK?

The recoil on that thing makes me want to cry

[inner mountain]

is yours meta

[cold fog]

I just used Tagillas after I killed him

So prolly not

[misty ginkgo]

AI guns is bad

Made for looking good, not having low recoil

It is looking very cool tho

[cold fog]

This is fair lmao

Maybe that was the issue

Went dorms with it and died like immediately cause I couldn't control the spray

Was a little salty

[kindred grotto]

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/ei5ZZaRWgXkSU/d1337oPhrbbD?invite=cr-MSxzb3QsMjI5MjAxODMs I was like lvl 20 in this clip first wipe lmao

[serene remnant]

lmaooo how did he not kill u

[inner mountain]

Ah too blurry

[cold fog]

It was good enough lmao my gun looked nothing like that

[inner mountain]

Max recoil is 33 very and like 98 horizontal

[cold fog]

Tbqh I'll probably just use a 5.45 AK instead, I have a feeling I'm not gonna like LMGs

[inner mountain]

Seems pretty low but it could still be ass if the spray pattern is booty

[icy fable]

[inner mountain]

Make sure you're using the blast mitigators if you have access

They're pretty amazing

[cold fog]

Noted. Not sure I do but ill look up a meta build and try it out if I can get the parts

[inner mountain]

Should be the landtak blast mitigation device

[cold fog]

I've had a spare rpk from a quest I didn't know what to do with, I'll test the prices out on that and see

[inner mountain]

Has like three parts for the muzzle

[hollow heart]

can i drop nvgs in raid or nah ?

[serene remnant]

yeah

[unkempt ingot]

is mai ap worth using

[serene remnant]

rly up to u

[inner mountain]

I mean yes but only if seeking pvp

[weary crown]

when wipe?

i wantz it now

!

[kindred grotto]

in 3

[normal ermine]

Mid June is what I’ve heard

Somewhere around the 18th

[kindred grotto]

no, its in 3

[normal ermine]

Yes, it’s just an estimate

[kindred grotto]

there is a wipe when nikita decides that hes bored

[icy fable]

how come nobody said it's thursday yet?

[kindred grotto]

wednesday

[normal ermine]

Because it can’t be Thursday or this weekend, because I’m not home

[weary crown]

honestly havent played this game in a while

makes me kinda sad

fell out of love

[normal ermine]

That’s sad

[weary crown]

idk even know why

[normal ermine]

Tarkov is love, tarkov is life

[weary crown]

idk i feel liike ill play then

[normal ermine]

Everyone always says, “I’ll start playing when it wipes again” then you really don’t even like the game, you just like the rat phase. I started mid wipe, and I’ve played enough to love the game, if you like the game, you’ll play consistently regardless of where in the wipe we are. My friends say they will play, but they’ll just quit weeks later. It’s a shame.

I love every aspect of tarkov, and it’s sad im not as good as I should be, but I find it all enjoyable, and can get over dying

[serene remnant]

disagree. people like myself get tired of having everything unlocked and loads of money. its nice to have a fresh start.

[weary crown]

idk dude , i honestly couldnt tell ya, i was in loveand outa no where i just like stopped playing

[normal ermine]

Okay, that’s different I was referring to people who start playing mid wipe, and decide “I’ll just wait because everyone’s already loaded”

[weary crown]

honestly its when i hit levle 32

and i could finally get a decent loadout

[serene remnant]

oh yeah then they are pussies

[weary crown]

thats when i was like damn....... guess im quiting

lmao

[normal ermine]

It’s gotten a little boring for me, but I’m finally started to get good luck

Found four violets between Sunday and monday

[viscid kraken]

any good resources for somoene trying to learn light house?

[serene remnant]

im just sitting here in thee lobby doing some work cause i cba to play solo

[serene remnant]

offline helps tbh

[normal ermine]

Been doing zero to hero woods runs for money, take my empty beta container, mbss and a db with 16 grizzly slugs and walk out with a violet, moonshine, etc in my ass. It’s not possible to not make money on those raids, because you literally just have to put some shit in your container and boom

[inner mountain]

revolver does work you just need to shoot people in the face I guess

[normal ermine]

The revolver slaps

[serene remnant]

ssurvivability makes money

[normal ermine]

It’s so fun

[normal ermine]

That too

[inner mountain]

I went to do grenadier but ran out of nades

[normal ermine]

Surviving > min maxing your loot

[inner mountain]

woops

[tender cairn]

bro what is a timmy

[serene remnant]

a noob

[viscid kraken]

anyone with a green flower next to their name

[tender cairn]

what is a hatchling

[serene remnant]

someone with a melee weapon only

[tender cairn]

k

[normal ermine]

I’ve never seen a Timmy, except once at woods sawmill, I killed a squad of 4 Timmy’s and the last one got killed by a scav

[serene remnant]

aka the stupidest thing imo lmao

[weary crown]

i have this craving for a battlefield game, so sad that the new one is so bad

[serene remnant]

ngl i see timmys as anyone who is high level 30s and low 40s cause most of the the time they are geared to the teeth but dont have the skill

[serene remnant]

battlebit is great

[normal ermine]

They all had their m4s, mp5s, commandos, pacas and day packs with a water and mmre, so I literally just took the guns and left

[tender cairn]

Why do people sometimes not take guns

[serene remnant]

lmaooo ive ran into lvl 1s and 2s in interchange out of all maps

[normal ermine]

Battle bit is pretty good

[ornate owl]

because they’re poor

[tender cairn]

k

[normal ermine]

They don’t have great slot value

[serene remnant]

unless its zero to hero. scav then

[ornate owl]

that too

I mean I usually pick up guns from the people I kill, it’s usually better then what I have, but if it’s something like a PM, m9, infantry mosin, etc, it’s a waste of the carry weight and I just leave it go

[inner mountain]

meta is just strip attachments unless youre gonna use it immediately

tbh

[normal ermine]

True

[ornate owl]

yeah there’s no point in holding onto a gun if you aren’t going to use it

[viscid kraken]

if it's personal i pick their entire loadout and fence it

[normal ermine]

Take the good expensive shit and leave

[inner mountain]

using guns you find on people you kill is generally a bad practice to get into because meta builds are rare

[serene remnant]

i just take em and sell to a trader cause lazy

[normal ermine]

Lmfao same

[serene remnant]

and keep the attachements i like

[ornate owl]

same

[inner mountain]

Bruh the amount of people that rage and try to add you to talk shit is wild

[serene remnant]

i like it lmao

[normal ermine]

I usually take the gun if I have slots, otherwise it’s usually get the scope, foregrip and suppressor and dip

[barren scroll]

all players i kill have only shit, like 53 lvl with vepr-hunter , 38 lvl with basic mp-153 (

[inner mountain]

previous wipes not so much but ive seen it alot since running ks shotgun but then again maybe its just the ks

[normal ermine]

I’m sad I have to give up two gzhels for a ragman task

[viscid kraken]

140 raids, even some extract camps... still no one adds me

[kindred grotto]

harder to get this wipe i think

[inner mountain]

use star shell ks 23 instant rage fuel

[ornate owl]

i’ve had one guy add me cuz i got lucky and killed him and his friend and he called me a cheater

[normal ermine]

I mean I’m 37, and I usually run a decent load out, unless I’m money running

[viscid kraken]

do you use a secondary weapon or is it just the first shell?

[inner mountain]

first shell usually or first and third

secondary not a bad idea though

[viscid kraken]

can anyone link a good lighthouse map?

[bold kernel]

are scavs on impossible difficulty and high-horde amounts good for training ?

[true reef]

good for crashing ur pc

[icy fable]

depends on your personal level and the playstyle you're trying to train... high/horde is an epic lagfest

as-online quantity with increasingly higher difficulty is a nice approach

every time a scav gets spawned in, on offline, creates a stutter, on horde mode it's borderline unbearable

[gaunt compass]

whats with the update

wipe ?

[bold kernel]

it should wipe in like more than a month

from now on

[gaunt compass]

why did they update tho

anything new ?

[icy fable]

nothing new, just some slight changes

[bold kernel]

bruh wtf its as if every scav is not a scav but a trained combat hardened soldier

on this difficulty

they also seem to have much better gear

[spiral flicker]

They fixed this, still when u fold it its same length

In inventory

[viscid kraken]

are lighthouse extracts always the same regardless of spawn?

[icy fable]

wut? so you place it inside, and can't/are not allowed to change your mind?

[bold kernel]

lol no, you can't move your secure during raid, so you don't accidently throw it away during raid

[icy fable]

ah, misunderstood the image

[tender cairn]

is woods hard to learn

[icy fable]

not very, just hard to figure out where you are the first couple of times

[dry belfry]

Lol this is a funny thought. The only extract that varies is Northern Road. There's a couple spawns that don't let you use Northern

[dry belfry]

Learning it isn't bad. Finding out where you are when you spawn in is sometimes a pain

I still get turned around sometimes

[viscid kraken]

so it's something like interchange, it's either northern road vs southern road depending on which spawn

[dry belfry]

Right now, Southern Road is always available

[tacit ferry]

i feel bad

[viscid kraken]

is path to shoreline also always available? i also assume rr extract is always available?

[dry belfry]

If people get the Southern Road spawn, they mostly just leave right at raid start

[dry belfry]

Yes, always

Still yes to both

[viscid kraken]

thanks, so northern is for certain spawns only, im guessing the far ones

[dry belfry]

I know you don't get Northern when you get Mountain Spawn. I still think you get it if you get the seaside Cottage spawn, can't remember if you get it with the Village spawn

So, at most, there's only 2 spawns that don't get it

[viscid kraken]

this is a great pmc map why didn't i learn lighthouse early wipe

[idle gulch]

guys can i drop ammunation box for my friend if i buy it from flea market?

[karmic axle]

is this good

[kindred grotto]

yes

[violet furnace]

anyone translated note frm #eft-announcements ?

[dry belfry]

It's already on reddit

[tender cairn]

#eft-chat pins

[violet furnace]

ty

[dry belfry]

No

[dry belfry]

Yeah, I've basically only raided on LH this wipe. It was extremely helpful to learn right away, money has been extremely easy and XP is insane
