[split dagger]

Sheeesh

[mint light]

lol

[primal yacht]

Big improvement for me tho

[split dagger]

You should play labs

[primal yacht]

True

I have a card too

[split dagger]

Good loot ok pvp and good frames

[primal yacht]

Mhm I will try

Reserve has been good too

[split dagger]

You'll definitely have 60+

[primal yacht]

How tf

[split dagger]

Try it in offline

[primal yacht]

Ok I will

[split dagger]

Its a small map and is very optimized

Not like other maps

[primal yacht]

Cool

Ty shoreline and woods with rain makes me sad no fps and no fun

[misty ginkgo]

You have amd or Intel cpu?

[primal yacht]

5600g

So amd

[misty ginkgo]

Try and look at “Process Lasso”

I used it before my new pc

Helped on a lot of frames

Basically making most of your cores focus on EFT, instead of just being free and ready

And with EFT being a cpu heavy game, it’s quite useful

[primal yacht]

Ok ty very much

[primal yacht]

Ok nice

[mint light]

sounds lice

nice

basically free fps?

idk if i should use physical cores or no

[primal yacht]

Hope so

Imma fix my internet too lol

[misty ginkgo]

I think.

I used it at start of lighthouse, and it helped with a few fps

Probably 10-20 more

[mint light]

is free?

[primal yacht]

If it’s linked with amd yea

[mint light]

i have amd

[primal yacht]

Which one lemme guess 3600x

[split dagger]

You should buy new cpu

[mint light]

yeah

[primal yacht]

I have no gpu

[split dagger]

Oof

[primal yacht]

Everyone has one lol

[misty ginkgo]

Yes, it’s an external tool

[mint light]

ok i will use

i get poop fps

[misty ginkgo]

[mint light]

very helpful

[spiral mulch]

How do most of you get your one tap kills on unsuspecting players? Seems like no matter what I do, I keep getting head, eyes or head jaws from butt fucking nowhere, whether I'm moving slowly or even encased in a room and losing my entire kit over and over again to the point that I'm starting to wonder how I even have money to run any kits in the first place

[misty ginkgo]

Wdym?

[mint light]

get better positioning

move faster

crouch walking epic noob trap

[misty ginkgo]

Fax

Nah, but honestly.

Slow walking is very stupid, Especially if the enemy could’ve heard you somehow

You will be too slow to reposition

[mint light]

when i see someone crouch walk i just look at them and wonder

and then shoot them

every person ive killed crouch walking im just wondering why and how are they human

i have slow walk unbound actually

[misty ginkgo]

That was literally my biggest fear when i just started

Being one of the clips on a stream, of them just looking at me for 2-3 minutes

That shit is so funny

If it isn’t me

[mint light]

everyone who slow walks also for some reason has a tan ulach

[misty ginkgo]

Tan Ulach so op

Does tan Ulach shine btw?

Just like tan guns

[mint light]

idk but everyone ive killed wearing it is caveman mode

[misty ginkgo]

I rarely see slow walkers on eu servers

Idk what ya’ll are doing over there

[split dagger]

Ppl that crouch walk aren't comfortable with moving

[misty ginkgo]

Scared of moving

Meta

[split dagger]

Only way for them to get a kill is to surprise you

[misty ginkgo]

Type of guy who sit at extracts and camping it

[mint light]

i quite literally killed a 50 yr old man and his twitch bio was “just a dad havin fun”

[split dagger]

Ahahahha

Ive died to ppl like that

One guy was 30 something years old perched up in a bush on labs

Naked with ash12

[misty ginkgo]

I got killed by a streamer, he sat at that angle for 3 minutes - and when i got killed his mod typed “ez kill”.

He ended up proning in D2.

It’s either people not moving or chads in eu servers

[split dagger]

And my guy had kappa and everything

Got my slick and died to raiders

[mint light]

dude what was factory before the expansion

[split dagger]

Because he is bad

[mint light]

how was factory even smaller

[misty ginkgo]

Legendary

Should’ve seen Customs before the expansion

Or Woods

[whole thistle]

The only part that the expansion added is the helicopter/med tents bit that connects postman pat to forklifts

[terse oasis]

💀

[strong hamlet]

how do i toggel flashlight on a gun?

[split dagger]

T

If you have flashlight and laser combo ctrl T to switch modes

[strong hamlet]

alr thx

[open hedge]

Not a hard task but since it’s on shoreline it’s not fun

Shoreline is either packed with scavs or you only see like 2 or 3 per day

[terse oasis]

I only have like 5 raids in shoreline and I did it for tasks, not planning in going there for a while

[open hedge]

L

Shoreline (only the resort) is peak

[unreal marlin]

how do i make this appear in my top left corner?

[split dagger]

Go in setting and take a picture for me

[split dagger]

Health condition and set it to always shown

[unreal marlin]

ohhhh okay

thank you

[split dagger]

And set stamina and stance

It helps

[unreal marlin]

alright

[split dagger]

You can do the slots too

[misty ginkgo]

Polychrome instead of monochrome to make it green

[cinder spade]

it took me almost 6 hours to complete debut, is there any hope?

I'm trying to get into dorms for the machinery key

not going well

[humble cave]

It gets better

[cinder spade]

I'm just trying to get my bearings before wipe tbh

[naive jetty]

everyone started at the bottom

[terse oasis]

Bro, I got a GPU and got kicked out from the server

Hope I dont die meanwhile im rejoining

[misty ginkgo]

Smart

[misty ginkgo]

GPU is trader price now

[terse oasis]

I know, but stills money

And I need money

Im poor

[misty ginkgo]

Farm lighthouse scav then

[terse oasis]

Nah

[vernal yacht]

how do i get high tier guns and armor? do i have to unlock flea market for it?

[misty ginkgo]

Traders

[terse oasis]

Traders

Do tasks

[vernal yacht]

most of my tasks are in factory but i still havent found the factory key yet 😦

[misty ginkgo]

What

[naive jetty]

you dont need the factory key for factory

[misty ginkgo]

You don’t need the Factory key to play Factory

Only locked map, is labs.

[naive jetty]

you need it for 3 exits but one is always open

[terse oasis]

Only for extractions, medical tent for example

Factory key is very useful actually

Having some doors to open with that key in customs

[vernal yacht]

every time i do pmc on factory i get extractions that are locked

[naive jetty]

you need to got to gate 0 i think

[terse oasis]

Gate 3

I think lol

[vernal yacht]

one run i went to all the gates and they were all locked

[naive jetty]

oh yeah gate 3 sorry

[cinder spade]

just found an armor repair kit in a scav run :>

[terse oasis]

Gate 3 is near the office zone, its always open and you dont require a key to use it

[cinder spade]

sucks that I can't sell it on the flea

[terse oasis]

Easy 300k

Why not?

[naive jetty]

dont sell it use it

[cinder spade]

level 5

no flea yet

[vernal yacht]

what about med door gate? that one was locked too

[mint light]

get factory key

[terse oasis]

For that one you need factory key

[naive jetty]

yeah you need the key for gate 0, med door and cellar but gate 3 is always open

[mint light]

is meet the woo 2 one of the greatest albums of all time

[vernal yacht]

yea then its not worth doing tasks there cuz 3 exits are locked

[naive jetty]

tasks are always worth trust me

[vernal yacht]

if any other map sure. but i get insta fucked on factory

even by scavs

[naive jetty]

try again

tarkov is about not giving up

[cinder spade]

yea I got a daily to survive a raid there and gave up like 5 instand deaths in

[mint light]

what task are u doin

[vernal yacht]

thats the one i got too xd

[cinder spade]

lmao

[naive jetty]

@vernal yacht are u from eu?

[vernal yacht]

na

[naive jetty]

what region east?

if you are east coast i can help you

[vernal yacht]

cant play right now cuz im also working. was just doing some scavs in the background

[naive jetty]

aah ok then good luck

[mighty terrace]

yo anyone wanna run I am quite new and dont rlly know what im doing

[quiet stump]

is there a way to get out of the bunker door you can get ontop of in reserve

[narrow pecan]

[dense pagoda]

[potent wind]

Got attacked by a group of player scavs while I was scav on lighthouse. I was victorious for the first time. and i extracted so proud of myself. lmao

[dry belfry]

Yes, someone has to pull the lever (which sounds the alarm) near the pawn buildings.

[rain wing]

what do ya'll think is the best class 4 helmet?

not counting mounts

ulach?

[mint light]

ulach

if u are doing nothing added

[rain wing]

otherwise?

[dry belfry]

Bastion w/ plate?

Boba Fett Fast?

[rain wing]

ehh mando fs kinda shitty

[dry belfry]

Still more protection than any other helmet

Class 4

Technically

[rain wing]

ain't the fs class 2?

[dry belfry]

Still better than the Bastion fs

Ulach probably best bet pfp

Fast MT gives least movement debuffs though

[mint light]

bastion plate is pog

[bold kernel]

i went in a raid and after moving for a a second my game crashed

am i just dead

[rain wing]

based

no

just relaunch and you shd be able to rejoin

[bold kernel]

loading the game rn

is my character idle

like can ppl shoot me

[rain wing]

yes

[bold kernel]

thats just cringe

[rain wing]

???

[bold kernel]

that my game crashed

not the mechanic itself

[mint light]

sometimes ur invincible

[bold kernel]

omg and its loading so slow now

like 1% every 20 seconds

[dry belfry]

RIP your kit fam

"fr fr"

[bold kernel]

it loads so unreasonably slow omfg

[dry belfry]

What's the loading message?

Like, what's the text right now before the percentage?

[bold kernel]

loading loot

[dry belfry]

That's good

Stuck in synchronizing is purgatory and means your player has spawned in

Oh

Nvm

I read what you wrote

[dense pagoda]

you know how people put a rail in the ass so they can put attachments on it when they kill players

what one am i supposed to used?

[mint light]

is this supposed to be a reference to me

[dry belfry]

Yes lol

[mint light]

fr

how do i eat cereal if all my spoons are burnt

[lone mulch]

I have had a rough night of raids. Can someone join me and tell me what I am doing wrong

[brittle canyon]

your mistake is that you died

avoid dying

[weary stirrup]

what level you?

[tepid osprey]

which quest ?

[rain wing]

outcasts

you can just google 'tarkov vudu'

[tepid osprey]

anything the same as vudu but cheaper

like similar reticle

@rain wing

what about this ammo

which quest

[unkempt ingot]

cult p1

[rain wing]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/5.56x45mm_M856A1

preferably you use 55a1

[rain wing]

I don't believe so

tac-30 is somewhat similar?

but it's 4x

I use razors for 1-6x

razor bussin

[unkempt ingot]

is the scav case explained by the lore in any way?

why is the beta backpack so expensive?

[stiff fractal]

Razor kinda > than vudu imo

[rain wing]

how tf do I take the zabralo

should I even bother taking it?

it'll make me super fat

20 kg 💀

[stiff fractal]

The downside to armored rigs. Hard to drop and swap. Maybe put your tac rig in your bag, equip his armor and rig

[rain wing]

I also had to ditch all this random shit

[stiff fractal]

Eh its worth little

[rain wing]

yeah

bulbs like ~9k now?

I need that zabralussy

[unkempt ingot]

drop the milk

[rain wing]

but

:(

[stiff fractal]

Milk isnt worth taking out

[unkempt ingot]

cms is also not worth

[rain wing]

oh boy

[rain wing]

yeah but then I can't heal blacked limbs

beta gamer 😎

[unkempt ingot]

cant you buy one

[rain wing]

yeah but what if I get blacked

in raid

[unkempt ingot]

british broadcasting corporation reference?

[twin cairn]

y take the zabralo its ass

[rain wing]

zabralussy 😩

[unkempt ingot]

how is it ass

[twin cairn]

dude the ergo and movment speed penalties

[rain wing]

yeah but does it not just make you a walking tank

[unkempt ingot]

high effective dura + class 6

[twin cairn]

and the fact that your sense gets lowered

[stiff fractal]

Bring it with an altyn on factory and go pew pew

[twin cairn]

is popo

[unkempt ingot]

that can be ignored

[twin cairn]

what

[unkempt ingot]

you can change your sens to compensate

[stiff fractal]

Its just fun and expensive.

[dawn geyser]

You actually run the Zabralo not for task?

[twin cairn]

y when i can just use a hex or ghezel

[unkempt ingot]

gzhel is class 5

[twin cairn]

yea

[rain wing]

I picked it up

[dawn geyser]

[stiff fractal]

I think im just out of shit to spend money on thats actually interesting

Got 2 levels yesterday, bought 5 flirs, a thicc weapons case and a sicc case

[spiral flicker]

[stiff fractal]

2 levels because i did 10 of the gunsmith quests lol

[spiral flicker]

Gunsmith is just free rep

Fr

[stiff fractal]

Honestly op

[spiral flicker]

There is not much money for it tho

[rain wing]

my pmc can barely run

trying to book it to emercom

[spiral flicker]

Skill issue

[stiff fractal]

I left at 88.3kg as my heaviest

[rain wing]

maybe 5 mags + a drum mag was a bit much

[stiff fractal]

Need more mags

[spiral flicker]

How heavy are u

[rain wing]

[rain wing]

[stiff fractal]

Server?

[unkempt ingot]

why do scavs get m61

[mint light]

vepr scav is funny

[north seal]

What attachments are the best to loot if i'm looking for best value per slot? Sights or something else like muzzles?

[unkempt ingot]

https://tarkov-market.com/tag/weapon_parts

[stiff fractal]

Any beginners need assistance?

[unkempt ingot]

i can't fucking get colleagues part 1 done

there's always someone on norvinsky

be it a pmc, 3000 scavs or sanitar

[idle stag]

what is this gun missing for the gunsmith part 2

I really dont understand what isnt there

[dawn geyser]

Your weapon must be above 60 dura.

[idle stag]

???

they didn't feel like mentioning that?

[dawn geyser]

60 Durability.

[idle stag]

I just mean it doesn's say anything about that in the task

[prime comet]

It’s rule of thumb for all gunsmiths going ahead

To be 60+ dura

[idle stag]

alright

[prime comet]

But no it’s not in the task description

[idle stag]

thanks mechanic 60k rubles for a gun that cost me 200k to make

[dawn geyser]

Did you take off the parts?

[idle stag]

you can take off the parts?

don't you need them on to turn it in

[prime comet]

Yeah you can take them off to then put them on a different gun

[dawn geyser]

You sold it to him?

You need to turn it in

[idle stag]

I turned it in

[dawn geyser]

Oh you mean the quest rewards

[idle stag]

yeah

[rose pine]

How to escape from tarkov?

[dawn geyser]

Oh god, a blocked message

[rose pine]

huh

[unkempt ingot]

scavs on the way to path to lighthouse should be nerfed

[twin cairn]

yes

sir

i swear they always spawn with m61

[unkempt ingot]

saw one with an adar with m855a1 loaded once

he was shooting from like 100m

how long do pre wipe event usually last?

[whole thistle]

Like a week

[open marsh]

i need help with mechanic gun quest 2, i cant seem to get a 60 rnd mag for my gun where will i find one? im below lvl 15 btw

[prime comet]

Lavatory 2 is the easiest way

[whole thistle]

Craft in lavatory or kill tagilla

[open marsh]

what lvl lavatory?

[wild gazelle]

Am bad

[unkempt knoll]

2

[open marsh]

ok sounds good

[primal yacht]

Raiders and tagilla are ok but lavatory is best

[mild mulch]

i hate tasks where i need keys smh

stuck on pharmicist

[unkempt ingot]

the only tasks I can't complete cuz of keys are the ones where you need rb-st, which costs milions

other keys are pretty cheap

[wispy marten]

Pharmacist key is in the back of the car near the checkpoint a lot of the time

Near 100% from the jacket, kinda like unknown key

[mint pond]

Hi guys, i have a quest to survive a map, its reserve so its pretty hard for me, can i just do a runthrough? will it count towards the quest?

[zinc canopy]

I’m pretty sure run throughs don’t count for the quest

[trail plaza]

what you could do is you could go and sit in the hermatic door and hope that somebody pushes the button

[mint pond]

Thing is, im yelling im here for a quest and people straight up dont care, twice i've been just killed off

[trail plaza]

yeah most peopel have voip turned off

cos they are sweaty chad men who enjoy killing

[brittle canyon]

and they’re supposed to trust you? lol I’d prefire you too

[mint pond]

your comment was great, thanks 😄

[brittle canyon]

shoot first

[trail plaza]

yeah

[brittle canyon]

and you never have to beg for mercy

[trail plaza]

what level are u

[mint pond]

11

[trail plaza]

run an sks with ps and just aim for the head you can pen most popular helmets

[mint pond]

and the only armour i get is paca, which doesnt help 😄

[trail plaza]

dont use it

just run no armour

wont even help woth scavs'

[brittle canyon]

if you only need to survive reserve

go bagless and use sewer

[trail plaza]

yeah

forgot about that

gtg

[faint night]

How long do pre wipe events usually last?

[trail plaza]

sry

[brittle canyon]

optionally bring a big rig and loot up black & white knight and then dip thru sewer

[rain wing]

so wtf is the prewipe?

oh my god

I HEAR THE AIDROPS

OH MY FOD

GOD

[cold fog]

Just a shit ton of air drops?

Lmao that's awesome

[rain wing]

THEY'RE HEAR

[onyx scarab]

bruh

[rain wing]

HERE*

LETS GO LITTLE SCAVVY BOY

[cold fog]

mother of god

[icy fable]

yeah, just saw footage of it as well, up to 6 planes at a time apparently

[cold fog]

welp, guess its time to abandon doing tasks finally

idk what map to even run now lmao

[icy fable]

woods seems like a good idea, wide area, easier to loot the airdrops...

[prime comet]

Woods is probably a shout

Run a flir and camp airdrops

[icy fable]

given the airdrops, interchange also seems nice

but honestly, I'm gonna keep running labs and reserve til I hit complete poverty

[prime comet]

I’d say same but

I’m still at 13mil

[icy fable]

gotta spend the gear i've got left

[prime comet]

And tonnes of shit

[rain wing]

😎

[icy fable]

i've been running fully geared runs for weeks now

[prime comet]

I haven’t got much to run in terms of meta gear

No mutants and the m4 is hot garbage anyway

[violet furnace]

more drops per raid?

[rain wing]

I think it's 100% drop every raid

and it drops like up to 6

[rain wing]

they have converged

why does the g28 sound like someone sliding their faceshield up and down

[cold fog]

bro I haven't hear a single arirdrop on woods and we've got like 10 minutes left in the raid

[onyx scarab]

Its on customs I think

[cold fog]

that... makes a lot of sense

tbqh I thought it was every map

[bold kernel]

It is, interchange woods, customs,

[unkempt ingot]

what is this?

[tacit ferry]

Not Tarkov lol

I don’t think it’s Tarkov

[violet furnace]

wahts the time, how u r in tarkov i think and fps

[tacit ferry]

Yeah it’s not Tarkovy

[prime comet]

That’s razor

You have razor synapse installed?

[unkempt ingot]

yes

[prime comet]

It’s from that

[icy fable]

razer software is borderline malware

[unkempt ingot]

i need the equalizer

and the thx spatial thing

[prime comet]

49 fps

[unkempt ingot]

laptop gaming

[spiral flicker]

[prime comet]

It makes me feel good when I play league

[icy fable]

a symphony of bad decisions

[prime comet]

“Highest fps reached: 761”

[spiral flicker]

Geller

[icy fable]

[spiral flicker]

U in work

?

[prime comet]

Hauu

Yes

[spiral flicker]

When home

[prime comet]

I’m on lunch

3.5 hours roughly

[spiral flicker]

me hungry in school

[prime comet]

I had a big ole sandwich and a can of coke

After sweating my tits of for 4 hours it was worth it

[spiral flicker]

[unkempt ingot]

lmao losers, i'm on summer break

[prime comet]

Enjoy it while you can

Go touch grass

[icy fable]

you'll only realize that it's the best part of life after going past 25

[prime comet]

Past 21

[spiral flicker]

[icy fable]

depending on studies or work course

[rain karma]

Man, i wish i‘d still be in school 🙂 enjoy it while you can

[prime comet]

I’ve known and missed the freedom for years

[icy fable]

there's people who study long enough to extend their bubble time

[prime comet]

Finishing at like 3pm would be the dream

In the uk the peak age to leave all education is 21-22

[spiral flicker]

I am trying to enjoy it but it's so fuckin fast here

[unkempt ingot]

same

[rain karma]

Yea

[spiral flicker]

Here it's like 20-21 lmao

[unkempt ingot]

one of my classmates is planning to become a doctor, she's spending like 9 years in uni

[spiral flicker]

Oof

I couldn't spend that much time hard studying

[solemn fable]

so umm, i've started playing Tarkov today cuz i like realistic games, but those mechanics are overwhelming. Can someone give me a helping hand about basics?

[spiral flicker]

Well uh

It'll wipe soon

And

Get yo gear outta your stash, pick map, go in, loot/kill, go out. That's how the game works

[quasi vine]

i recommend running some offline raids to learn maps, get comfy with the gunplay, and learn healing before you run right into a normal raid

[spiral flicker]

Yep that's true

U should do this too

But

After wipe there will be co op mode where u can go with someone experienced

Let's hope it won't be broken

[quasi vine]

in what pve?

isnt that only for EOD?

[spiral flicker]

Yea

But

They said they will maybe make it non eod too

But who knows

[whole bone]

Will the EOD version be available for the next sale, or will it already be deleted by that time?

[spiral flicker]

Yea it will

Nikita said they will remove it on release of the game

[quasi vine]

imo an EOD only pve mode would be a bad call simply because ppl who are paying for EOD are probably not paying to run pve

[humble moth]

did the servers wipe already?

[quasi vine]

no

[humble moth]

when?

[quasi vine]

probably thursday

considering events today

[spiral flicker]

No1 knows

[humble moth]

iught

igt*

[solemn fable]

i prefer playing solo tbh, but good to know 👍

[spiral flicker]

It will be like offline

But for up to 11ppl

[quasi vine]

do yall know if the co op pve mode theyre adding is just gonna be like offline or if itll save progress

oh okay lmao nvm

[solemn fable]

that's what i've learned in first raid, sadly i didn't know where extraction point was

[quasi vine]

i hope that makes it easier for ppl to set up tournaments and stuff i think thatd be really sick to see

[spiral flicker]

Yea that's time consuming thing

To learn map

[quasi vine]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/

[spiral flicker]

It will be fun as hell

[quasi vine]

life saver

[solemn fable]

mhm, and first map i've went was custom(?)

with 20 escape points

i was like

O_O

[quasi vine]

hide everthing except location and extraction at first

[spiral flicker]

There is like 5 on customs

But on each side

[dawn geyser]

Keep in mind, depending on your spawn location - Only a slect few are open to you

[solemn fable]

yep, up to 5 ye?

[dawn geyser]

Some have % chances of being open, and some have triggers

Different number per map

[quasi vine]

yeah youre only ever gonna have to worry about like 3 of them because 1 will probably be locked or unavailable and 1 will probably be dorms car which you should avoid this early on

[spiral flicker]

Meanwhile lighthouse during killa and tagilla event --> 1 extract which was camped everytime u were there lmao

[stray scroll]

how to get labs keycard if i dont have mechanic ll3?

[spiral flicker]

U can try to go scav and try your luck

That's pretty much it

[quasi vine]

search lots of coats

i find them like every 10 raids or so

[stray scroll]

aight

[spiral flicker]

Coats?

[quasi vine]

coats

[stray scroll]

jackets

[quasi vine]

outerwear

[spiral flicker]

there is a chance of spawn

For

Access .

?

[quasi vine]

ive found lab cards in lots of things yeah

[spiral flicker]

Never saw 1 in my 1700 hours of playing

Only on scavs

[quasi vine]

i may be wrong but im like 90% sure ive looted them

[icy fable]

yeah, access cards spawn in coats and drawers/filing cabinets as well

[spiral flicker]

[quasi vine]

i check coats a lot running customs since im trying to find a directors key and they seem to spawn keys and cards pretty often

[icy fable]

general info and tetrizes spawn in filing cabinets too

[quasi vine]

im just waiting for that 1/1,000,000 chance that a directors key spawns in one of the 2 coats in the tiny building next to big red so i can run right over there and finish my damn quest lmao

i guess at this point ill probably give up because of wipe but damn

[icy fable]

level 15 and buy it on flea is also an option, but the wipe approaches

[quasi vine]

yeah im level 12 lol

[stray scroll]

barter with therapist

[spiral flicker]

Meanwhile dorms 114 bartering for twitch armbands

[quasi vine]

i only need 1 can of squash for the barter but dude i cannot seem to fucking find one

the amount of tushanka i have amassed

criminal

[icy fable]

interchange goshan scav raid should fix that 😛

[quasi vine]

perhaps

[icy fable]

should be an easy find in the shelves to the back left of the store

[quasi vine]

ive been sticking to customs and woods a lot to just get comfy on the maps

[stray scroll]

ration crates should also help

[quasi vine]

probably gonna start learning a new one before wipe though

[icy fable]

use the opportunity to learn lighthouse and/or reserve, they are rather neat maps

lighthouse is loot heaven and has some quests, reserve is loot heaven, but has terrible extracts, so it's a nice one to grasp properly

[quasi vine]

damn i heard shoreline was a good choice

ill probably just flip a fucking coin lmao

every map is good to the ppl who like it the most

[icy fable]

it is, there's a decent amount of quests there as well

yeah, whatever map floats your boat is the best, in theory

(then you'll just have the endure the other for necessary quests or the ones you feel like doing)

[solemn fable]

my cousins told me about that, complete reset yes?

[bold kernel]

When is wipe?

[tacit charm]

In 4

[bold kernel]

Oh

That helps a lot

[spiral flicker]

yes

[solemn fable]

📝

[opaque moat]

So has the wipe event started?

[remote kettle]

People assume so, but nothing is fully confirmed yet

[opaque moat]

Nice and it’s just for now a lot of airdrops right ?

[remote kettle]

Yes

[bold kernel]

can anyone help me with the early therapist quest on woods get secure folder 0052

[remote kettle]

If i was home

[low merlin]

i can run you in fast

[bold kernel]

ok are u na?

[low merlin]

ye

[bold kernel]

ok

if i play 1920x1080 4:3 does it lower fov like in most games?

[mint light]

very slightly

i ply 4:3

[primal yacht]

Does it increase fps

[mint light]

maybe

[primal yacht]

I will try then

Im ordering a 3060 today lol no more single digit fps

[icy fable]

stretched or black bars?

[mint light]

stretched

[icy fable]

or an actual 4:3 monitor?

[mint light]

dude is going to cry tears of joy

[icy fable]

indeed

[primal yacht]

Yeah 1440p

[mint light]

he has no gpu

uses integrated graphics

[icy fable]

UFFFF

[primal yacht]

APU on top

[mint light]

didnt know that was possible

for tarky

[icy fable]

I almost don't believe it

but I guess one could make it work

[primal yacht]

5600g

[primal yacht]

Yea no graphics and 12-20 fps

[icy fable]

ok, now it's believable

[primal yacht]

Why wouldn’t it be

[icy fable]

I'd say "unplayable, would never do", but I remember playing dayz on equal amounts of frames for 1000+ hours

[mint light]

20 fps is better than i expected

[primal yacht]

Mhm gta and such games work well and I for some reason thought eft also would work

[icy fable]

shared memory issues, failure to load, fps so low you can't even start a round, that sort of thing

[primal yacht]

Aha okay see ur point

[primal yacht]

All low graphics and overclocked

[icy fable]

Although I do enjoy a good "crash to BIOS" simulator

[icy fable]

speaking of overclocking

[primal yacht]

Fax bios screen goated

[icy fable]

trying to find stable ram values be like

[mint light]

rest in piece el chaguasto

[primal yacht]

I have one single 16g 3200mhz

[woeful sequoia]

anyone wanna run it level 10 only played solo just tryna get better

[icy fable]

try your luck in #pvp-lfg

[mint light]

lol

2x16>4x8 correct?

[icy fable]

cursed information

[remote kettle]

Yes. And 2x8 > 1x16

As an example

[dawn geyser]

I thought 4x8 was better than 2x16

o_o

[remote kettle]

Always go dual If you can

[mint light]

hi kwon

[dawn geyser]

Hello Max

[mint light]

im sleepy fr

[icy fable]

(( aiming at 16gb of ram total... in my experience i've seen 4x4gb > 2x8gb > 1x16gb? assuming same timings, among the 1-5% range ))

it's probably gonna skip a generation or two until consumers get it for a payable amount, similar to ddr5

[knotty lark]

Hi I’m really new to the game and just wondering if there’s anyone that could help me?

[mint light]

ddr6 when

[icy fable]

yeah, straight up questions here, one-on-one learning in #sherpa-info and groups in #pvp-lfg

[icy fable]

after 32gb of ddr5 doesn't cost more than half of my pc

[mint light]

i heard it also isnt optimized either

[kindred grotto]

What's the best 762x51 gun ingame?

full meta kitted out

Dont care about price or whatever

[rain karma]

Double barrel

[ocean fable]

for all around use probbably the MDR or SA58 because they can full auto

[kindred grotto]

die

[icy fable]

SA58 Juice cannon build ❤️

[kindred grotto]

kinda want range

auto doesent mater

[rain karma]

[kindred grotto]

I want to thermal lol

[dawn geyser]

Depends on what you're going for, Raw DPS

[dawn geyser]

Double barrel .308 is the thing of nightmares

[ocean fable]

actually yes. Google Landmark Juice Cannon build

[dawn geyser]

Imagine a double barrel M61

[icy fable]

slap a scope on it and select single fire

[dawn geyser]

Kill anything

[rain karma]

.50 cal double barrel sniper (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[dawn geyser]

Yeah i'm good homie

Not about to get one tapped wearing slick in the thorax 2 miles away

[rain karma]

Btw do you guys think the new grenade launcher will break the game? I mean everyone is gonna try and get it

[icy fable]

it'll be perfectly balanced

[rain karma]

Depending on the drop chance, it will prolly cost more than rr right now

[icy fable]

future new streamer/tuber meme weapon

[rain karma]

imagine tear gas nades

[icy fable]

I can already see the videos with backpacks full of tube nades just for the views

[kindred grotto]

WHICH SHOULD I USE

[rain karma]

I kinda think they will set a limited amount of ammo you can carry for it

Like at once

for example max 6 extra rounds in inventory

Regardless of how big a stack would be

[rain karma]

Both

I would say rsass

[kindred grotto]

rsass it is

[tepid osprey]

need help with kill 3 pmcs with pistols quest

[unkempt ingot]

factory

glock 18

[tepid osprey]

ammo?

[unkempt ingot]

your choice

[remote kettle]

Rip

[rain karma]

Rip for leg meta tho

[remote kettle]

Just brrt legs at 1200rpm

[unkempt ingot]

ap 6.3 works too

[remote kettle]

Problem?

[misty ginkgo]

Probably gonna be Flea banned

[tepid osprey]

dont have ap 6.3

[rain karma]

I didnt even think about it lol but yea probably

[misty ginkgo]

RSASS

[remote kettle]

It will be. Nikita confirmed that getting it off big pipe is the only way

[unkempt ingot]

run ap 6.3, aim for legs, hit head

[kindred grotto]

it is mk18

[remote kettle]

No?

[misty ginkgo]

What?

[rain karma]

Wut

[misty ginkgo]

That isn’t a mk18? 💀

[unkempt ingot]

thats a vss

[rain karma]

My man off a perc

[kindred grotto]

I made a mk 18

smh

[misty ginkgo]

AP in that?

[rain karma]

Its a mjölnir tho 🤓

[woeful spruce]

i cant wait for a bolty in this caliber

good they're adding it

[unkempt ingot]

saddest shot ever missed

[bold kernel]

does any1 know how can i stop the mags from dropping to the ground when i reload?

[woeful spruce]

you need to have a large enough free slot in your rig and or pockets to put the mag into

[tepid osprey]

how do I make a glock auto?

[woeful spruce]

also you drop it when you double tap r so check if youre doing that

[bold kernel]

ohhh whoops, im used to spamming r when i need to reload in almost every game i play, that was the issue, thanks!

[woeful spruce]

there are 2 types of glock, glock 17 is always semiauto and glock 18 can be either semi or full auto

[bold kernel]

also is that a keybind thats changeable or not?

[woeful spruce]

you can change it, its even recomended

[tepid osprey]

its just like a switch ?

[bold kernel]

ah i see, where can i change it?

[tepid osprey]

like B and it changes?

[woeful spruce]

its complicated but when reload isnt bound to double tap you reload slightly faster actually

[woeful spruce]

yes, if you have bought the glock 18, the glock 17 is always semi

[woeful spruce]

controlls tab in settings

[tepid osprey]

Any recommendations to fix recoil?

[icy fable]

forbidden knowledge

[icy fable]

how to "fix" recoil?

explain

[tepid osprey]

I mean, lower recoil sum

[icy fable]

weapon mods

[woeful spruce]

on the glock 18 you just have to buy a stock for it from the flea, but it still will suck

[solemn fable]

💀

[woeful spruce]

rip, you didnt find an exit in time?

[remote kettle]

Buy the glock 18c

[solemn fable]

ye ||tak||

[dawn geyser]

onyooo.

[unkempt ingot]

just met the guy with the weirdest gear on reserve

altyn, rat rig, m80 vepr hunter, camping d2

[opaque moat]

can airdrops come at night ?

[rain karma]

Prolly went in with the vepr hunter and killed someone by extract camping then took their shit or smth idk

[unkempt ingot]

how to deal with d2 campers btw?

[rain karma]

Impact grenades 😈

[woeful spruce]

yes

[woeful spruce]

grenades are great but i also find it fun to waste a lot of their ammo by putting my gun behind a corneer with blinfire and shining my flashlight at them and when they waste ammo shooting the gun and reload i push

only works on right side corners tho

[icy fable]

this strat is golden, especially in the grand open part where there's loot between the floor planks

[unkempt ingot]

dude onetapped both of us with the vepr

[opaque moat]

ok thyen is the airdorp event on all maps ?

[unkempt ingot]

yes, even on woods

[opaque moat]

went into night lighthouse and didnt see one for like 10+ mins

[unkempt ingot]

same, went right into d2 and didn't hear a single one

[icy fable]

yeah, but with how the sound engine is, would you even hear it while in the tunnels?

[unkempt ingot]

i saw people having audio bugs hearing it down there

[icy fable]

that shit is so inconsistent... I was in hermetic bunker once, just outside one of the cages, and my screen started flashing and shaking with literally 0 audio, though it was somewhere between a bug or weird hack and recorded it, after watching it 5 times I realized that someone was pelting the hermetic door entrance with the dome grenade launcher

the hits were landing right above me, 0 audio

[solemn fable]

i still have a problem with remembering where are those safezones 💀

[icy fable]

play a couple of offline games (with or without bots, your choice) and just focus on path to extract for X extract from the given list

[unkempt ingot]

if you see mine sign, don't go

[solemn fable]

hm

i see

[icy fable]

extracting is the most important part of tarkov

[solemn fable]

i should try that

oh and one more question

[icy fable]

having a map open is worth gold as well

[solemn fable]

getting faster to safe zone is better/more important than more loot, ye?

[icy fable]

and if you've got a second screen (monitor, phone, tablet, whatever) open a mapgenie instance with the selected map open

[solemn fable]

cuz you won't get any loot when You didn't even escaped

[icy fable]

situational

[icy fable]

exactly

either play it safe and "i've got enough, lets cash out"

or think "I can get more, i'll stay a while longer"

[solemn fable]

understood

[icy fable]

up to you

[solemn fable]

but better not get greedy

💀

heh, reminds me of Darkest Dungeon

[icy fable]

well... I like the analytical analysis... if a kit will cost me X and I have a 50% surv rate, i'll need X amount of money every 2 raids to replace that kit (ignoring possible scav runs)

so every raid has to profit me that X to justify the raid itself

[opaque moat]

hey guys quick question as well, ive been doing alot of lighthouse and making decent money, my plan for next wipe was to do the same but someone told me that lighthouse is currently buffed in terms of loot cuz its the new map, i was wondering if this is true or cap ?

[cinder spade]

I got MIA on an amazing factory run yesterday :/

Dropped my insured shit at least

[icy fable]

(2X if possible, free kit usage basically), else it would be an unjustified risk to take out a kit and not even aim at paying for it in that raid

(because, by math... next raid, i'll die and have to pay for a new kit)

[fervent turret]

sometimes you don’t need to break even bc the exp is worth it

[indigo kayak]

how do u not get out on factory

[icy fable]

Yea, best part 😄 in that logic is that i'm always winning...

[hushed tusk]

is the bastion shield plate thing good or rare to get from raiders?

[cinder spade]

Didn’t pay attention to timer while looting

[indigo kayak]

lol

[cinder spade]

And ran out of stamina running to extract

[indigo kayak]

l

[icy fable]

if I "pay" for my kit and get a weapon out gear out, it's something I won't pay next gear up

so constant profit and never poverty

[icy fable]

yes

[cinder spade]

10 dead scavs in office with 3 minutes left “yeah I can loot them all”

[icy fable]

worth ~200k at the moment and very good for mounting on the helmet

[hushed tusk]

it sells on the market for 500k

what im seeing

[icy fable]

[hushed tusk]

shits crazy

[cinder spade]

Goddam

I’m making like 150k a raid at most lol

[hushed tusk]

and even if its slightly damaged it still sells for 500k+

[icy fable]

I literally looked at 250k for it yesterday

damn

[rain karma]

Trooper face shield was about 200k aswell yesterday

[icy fable]

and I already thought 200k was ridiculous

[hushed tusk]

is the vulkan 5 face shield also rare?

[icy fable]

aim for 3-500k

try to filter items more

[fervent turret]

I mean lighthouse is getting an expansion, so hopefully they keep/buff loot on it to make ppl wanna play that map

[hushed tusk]

and i found my first ledx today whilst running labs

[cinder spade]

Yeah I just try to go for short and quick runs because I suck at the game still

[quasi vine]

dawg i am making like 100k IF i get out lmao

[icy fable]

the real strat isn't only going for high tier items (50k+ per slot) but those 10-15k items and a backpack full of them

[cinder spade]

And I don’t have flea yet

So I can only sell to traders

[hushed tusk]

some how i always matchmake with the chadiest of chads with altyns and slicks and almost barely make money

[cobalt scarab]

good cheap acogs?

[icy fable]

30 item backpack filled with 15k (condensed milk) can net 450k is not a bad strat

[quasi vine]

its v hard starting this late in the wipe lol

[icy fable]

that pain will be over soon

[quasi vine]

yeah but i see condensed milk like once or twice every 5 raids how can u fill a whole pack with it

[hushed tusk]

yeah bought this game this wipe and havent played to much and shits hard fr

[cobalt scarab]

pain?

it was fuin

[icy fable]

new and different pain starting soon

[whole thistle]

wipe berry berry soon

[quasi vine]

yeah ive had fun i just havent been making much money

kinda just have to avoid all the high tier loot spots unless i spawn right next to them

[hushed tusk]

i feel as if wipe is gonna be a releif for most of the players

[cobalt scarab]

i have 3m

[hushed tusk]

but its still gonna be easy getting the end game stuff

[cobalt scarab]

and i started a week ago

[cinder spade]

Barely 700k for me

[icy fable]

good enuf

[cinder spade]

Started two days ago

[quasi vine]

i have 2m and i started about 10 days ago or so

[cobalt scarab]

^^?

[icy fable]

anywhere between 2-5mil is nice, so you can die 10 times in a row and still afford a kit

[quasi vine]

mosin kit god tier

[icy fable]

mosin + penis helmet

[quasi vine]

even if u only live 1/5 of the time u pay for all those kits by just stealing 1 gun off some ding dong chad

[cinder spade]

Which one is the penis helmet

[cobalt scarab]

give me acog rn

[hushed tusk]

gotta love the penis helmet

[icy fable]

SSh-68

[cinder spade]

Ah

[icy fable]

The TimmyHelmet/Penis Helmet/NoobHat

[cinder spade]

Yea I’ve been running that and that one shitty SMG

PP-91?

Idk

Until I learned you can buy the knives for MP5 trade off fence

[quasi vine]

its also like a guaranteed gun after a few scav runs

i left the knives on so many scavs at the beginning

[cinder spade]

Yea

I keep running out of stash space

Standard edition moment

Gonna get EOD with my next check

[quasi vine]

if ur full dont be scared to just sell stuff

junk box is sick

[cinder spade]

Yea I’m prolly gonna clean my stash out tonight

Gonna try to practice with the mosin some more for wipe

[opaque moat]

im idk if the event is happening on lighthouse or night raids or on the servers i have selected

idk whats going on

10 mins left in this raid not 1 drop

[unkempt ingot]

is an aksu a good secondary gun for sniping?

[flat bone]

@unkempt ingot

[unkempt ingot]

yes?

[flat bone]

i do prefer a fiveseven or a mp7 myself

but aksu can work

if you mod it a little

put some nice bs in it

or mabye even bt

@opaque moat i got 5 drops last raid

than deleted my thicc case on accident

with all my loot inside

[unkempt ingot]

what

wdym deleted a thicc

[flat bone]

thicc items case

all my shit was inside of it

dont care to wipe soon i think

[opaque moat]

what map ?

[flat bone]

customs

[opaque moat]

well yea thats what i was getting at

either its lighthouse or the servers i have picked

but i havent seen any

[flat bone]

i seen them drop reserve and interchange too

[opaque granite]

any EU noob trainers out there 😄 lvl 12 21days old, trying not to get lost, tia

[icy fable]

#sherpa-info is a "teacher hub", but might take a while to get a response, #pvp-lfg is also a nice place to find people, just state your intentions, it's a bit rarer to find pickup-groups here

[brisk trail]

I'm here

[vapid flume]

accidentally mf spent all my money on action sx

[icy fable]

just think of all the death you can dispense with 8000 rounds

solid investment for the future of tarkov

[vapid flume]

did you count how many rounds

only thing is though its action sx the ammo I sprayed a full mag unto a mans leg just for him to strafe headshot me

[icy fable]

8050, assuming the bottom stacks are full

[vapid flume]

yes they is

I didnt think my stash could hold 8000 so I just clicked just for fun and realized they hold 70

[icy fable]

I wanted to experience poverty, just for fun

[vapid flume]

although my stash does only have like 4 items

[fervent turret]

[icy fable]

could be worse, could've been early wipe and have you sit in a hole now

[vapid flume]

luckily that ammo is worth alot so I got like 500 or 600k back

[fervent turret]

just run with it :> make ya money back by murdering juicy peeps

[opaque granite]

thank you

[vapid flume]

kill a juicer get headshot im just gonna wait till it wipes

[rain karma]

just sold alot of shit from my stash, mostly barter items and got about 2mil lmfao

[vapid flume]

I want that 1 rouble all trader level 4 event again

[flat bone]

thats last 2 days of prewipe

mostlikely

[vapid flume]

oh

I better scoop some cash up then

[misty ginkgo]

Cheap af prices are usually after the pre-wipe being announced iirc

[quasi vine]

someone told me i should use paca over flora

why is that

[flat bone]

@quasi vine paca is just better

less heavy

better repaired

[quasi vine]

yeah but what makes it better i wana know

[flat bone]

dura drops slower

[quasi vine]

yeah but i assume flora is heavier since it has more AP?

[flat bone]

it has more ap but dura goes down quicker

[graceful marsh]

more points doesnt always mean much

[mint light]

paca has better material

[flat bone]

^^

[graceful marsh]

kinda like the tank helmet has 100 points

it doesnt matter though

[flat bone]

@quasi vine you should install the app called battle buddy

its very usefull

for new players

[cobalt escarp]

how do i slap the laser on my DVL for gunsmith 5

[flat bone]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_5 @cobalt escarp
