what ammo is best to use in 308 mdr

#

i know alot of people say m61 are bad in it bcus recoil

#

but i didnt know if its worth using the higher pen ammo

whole thistle
#

It pens everything and does like 80 damage

#

993 is overkill

misty ginkgo
whole thistle
misty ginkgo
#

M993 is literally just M61 with lower flesh damage

#

So stupid

#

Help

whole thistle
#

Nah

#

Also is the beretta an airsoft gun I loaded some scav up with 8 hits to chest and he ran and hid behind cover

whole thistle
sand shard
#

Oh ok that makes sense he had some armor

whole thistle
#

You can check after a raid how many shots you hit and damage to armor

mint light
sand shard
#

How do I deal more damage

mint light
#

better ammo

#

in late wipe if ur just starting u practically gotta headshot or u die

sand shard
#

I feel like the guns just don’t deal as much as they should agains bad armor

mint light
#

u can one tap people with good ammo against best armor

whole thistle
sand shard
#

And I put a shotgun to a guys chest from 8 feet ( after 1 or to hits withstand an ak74 ) and he lived and killed me I could see the ak blood patches is the ak ammo used by scrappers like soviet reserve 40 year old half rusted nothing?

mint light
#

shotguns do 0 dmg with normal

whole thistle
#

Yeah buckshot doesn't go through armor at all

#

Also 7.62x39 is meta this wipe lol

#

Although if you could recognize his gun as an ak it probably wasn't a meta build

sand shard
#

Also anyone know where I can get ump mags I bought knives from the fence and used this knives to get a ump problem is I can’t find mags or rounds anywhere

whole thistle
#

Usually ump mags and 45 are on peacekeeper

sand shard
#

No you can buy bullets an accessories my cousin warned me about that fact I could by guns but bullets and mags for other guns are still available

whole thistle
#

You can only buy stuff from fence

#

Everyone else is barter only

#

Fence only sells things that are sold to him and he charges awful prices

i wanna run this ak build

but i cant build it

#

cus attachments are stupid barters

misty ginkgo
#

They could just annoy people to see reactions for future events.

They have done that before - nikita has said that most of the stuff is just ideas that they think might be good, and when they test it people hate it.

dense pagoda
#

this shit is beyond stupid

#

do you enjoy it?

misty ginkgo
#

A community manager has said that there could be more of this, shortage at a trader, expensive prices etc.

You can hope to catch a community manager in #eft-chat, and tell them that you hate it.

Everyone is doing that tho

i never knew that

spiral flicker
#

I found there Shiro and I wrote him nice words nvgcatte

misty ginkgo
#

But most things in tarkov isn’t gonna change no matter how much you complain.

It’s not meant to be easy

misty ginkgo
#

I like him, he’s not a fun destroyer

spiral flicker
#

It's meant to be playable tho

misty ginkgo
#

Already in eft chat complaining 💀

#

Whoopsie

plush moth
#

they dont seem to want to listen tho

misty ginkgo
#

They aren’t nikita

#

They don’t decide stuff in this game

#

They can give your message to the devs, and then hope they get enough complaints

#

But nikita has said that people always will be complaining for the first few days and then find out that they can’t change anything.

#

Game isn’t meant for the casual, so them adding an event like this didn’t really surprise me

Buying EoD and playing Tarkov for the first time tonight; does anyone have any videos/resources that would be helpful to peruse before entering the game?

sage jetty

its a temporary event

#

check in next week if you dont like it

sage jetty
#

i know tarkov suppose to be hardcore but i want them to at least inform the player a little when we launch the game tho

eternal narwhal
#

everyones thought that at some point. but bstate p much refuses to do so, so if you really want a warning just pay attention to this discord or their twitter at around this time everyday

#

or look at reddit

bronze magnet
#

Fast question for anyone online who might have info on the matter-

Does the matchmaking put people in relative rank with you, or is it just anyone who's closest? Like as a lvl 9 will I get paired with people over lvl 30 etc? Or is it capped?

mint light
#

no skil based

#

just region based

bronze magnet
#

ohhh thats good

woeful spruce
bronze magnet
#

thats terrible. So yeah I'll get amazing people and crap people then

trail plaza
#

yup

#

mostly crap

woeful spruce
#

its a big part of the fun that as a lvl 20 you can kill a kitted out lvl 60. thats probably osme of the most fun

trail plaza
#

at least early wipe

eternal narwhal
#

anything between chads and pistol runners, 5 man squads or a lobby of solos

bronze magnet
#

I have a hard time bringing myself to kit out...biggest I've gone was a 5.45 with a mosin sidearm, was pretty effective but didn't meet anyone.

#

Today I had a chance as a scav to kill a PMC I let him live to see if he'd be friendly. He wasn't. But I feel that was just dumb of me... I dont know what I'm expecting honestly..lol

woeful spruce
trail plaza
#

yeah just run what you can

bronze magnet
#

Nothing gets put back, like when you first get the game, it's all just vacant space?

eternal narwhal
#

mhmm

woeful spruce
bronze magnet
#

Well that's not bad.. At least I'll feel less terrible losing all the cool stuff I have LOL

trail plaza
bronze magnet
#

Yeah That's what I was curious to know cool

woeful spruce
#

so its baisically just as if you just bought the game

bronze magnet
#

I have the standard edition no suprise..

#

Im looking forward to it

#

Wanna get into the hideout

woeful spruce
#

standard is tetris simulator but you can get good at it

#

im standard 5 wipes

bronze magnet
#

Yeah I am. I enjoy the whole loot thing.

#

I just started less than 2-3 months ago

#

I've played games like Tarkov, but Tarkov is so...different.

eternal narwhal
#

its its own thing really

bronze magnet
#

I actually got a fear of pulling the trigger first time I was on factory. Something about the atmosphere actually puts me into anxiety mode.

eternal narwhal
#

kinda like hunger games/br esque but still unique

bronze magnet
#

Yeah I feel that.

woeful spruce
#

its for sure in a league of its own, the devs make seemingly illogical anti fun decisions that nos ane dev who listens to the comunity would make but thanks to that the game is as good as it is

eternal narwhal
#

lol i loved my first 500 hours of tarkov. i loved the aspect that it was just a normal day in a city and that shots would suddenly ring out and depending on how close you were you might shit yourself

#

or at any second it could go from listening to the birds chirping to firing off full mags at a guy that you ran into 30 seconds later

woeful spruce
sage jetty
bronze magnet
#

It's definitely worked for them. I mean from any other game I've played, it's a true battle simulator. Not as hardcore obviously as Arma but it's got a niche it nicely fills, issues is it's just also very wonky. I see what they're going for and it's there, just very unpolished. Probably gonna take years.
Sound design is amazing I will admit, however it needs work on spacing and defining location, for example that new deadspace game or remake they were coming out with has a redesigned sound system I feel a game like Tarkov could really use.
lol I think I've only met 1 cheater.

woeful spruce
bronze magnet
#

Hard to say how many are actually cheating and some who are actually just chads

woeful spruce
eternal narwhal
#

its really hard to tell starting out

#

youll learn the difference if you keep playing

bronze magnet
#

I have yet to grasp the distance. Also I found that the skill % with being new screws you from more advanced players who've excelled..

woeful spruce
bronze magnet
#

I had this one guy who found me as soon as I spawned into customs, lasered me down, then chased me into the storage bins, locked me down with gunfire after a nade at the frontdoor. It was methodical.

#

I was on the top left corner of the map near red building

eternal narwhal
bronze magnet
#

I feel like my lack of experience is just gonna get me endlessly killed lol

eternal narwhal
sage jetty
#

15 mins ago i got spawn rush by a scav that 4 shots my lv4 armor, and i don't even know if it was event thing or just cheater kek

woeful spruce
bronze magnet
#

I grasp how that can be completely reasonable for gameplay but not reasonable for fairness. The game isn't supposed to be fair.
But that's actually cool and gives incentive to build your character. I just need that wipe so I can dedicate time to my stuff without feeling it in vain you know..

woeful spruce
calm sorrel
#

free labs gamers

eternal narwhal
#

right now is actually the best time to dedicate your stuff. precisely because it is in vain. it doesnt matter because were wiping next thursday

bronze magnet
#

I heard about 6/30

#

I just also want to learn the maps but not offline all the time

#

feels lame but I do enjoy the boss scavs they're actually a challenge

calm sorrel
#

go learn labs rn

#

its free

bronze magnet
#

You need a card for it right?

#

or is that for the rooms?

calm sorrel
#

not currently

#

it is free

woeful spruce
#

they just did an event like 10 mins ago that labs is free for everyone

calm sorrel
#

as of 30 mins ago?

bronze magnet
#

okay I see and its high loot I imagine it's also nuts

#

I just played interchange for the first time today. I wanted better scav rep but its whatever..

calm sorrel
#

scav rep dont matter rn

eternal narwhal
#

^

bronze magnet
#

I do customs factory and reserve. Other maps idk at all. I understand I'm speaking after the fact.

calm sorrel
#

if you have gear you can spare enough to survive a few more days go lose some kits on labs

#

itll be fun

woeful spruce
bronze magnet
#

Yeah I feel a few lab runs would be a good idea, just to get out of my inherent fear. I got like 9 million. It's not much but it's honest scaving lol
I feel you tomasz, I checked out the interior, got lost a little, but found that it's actually relatively easy to learn. Lots of dark corners and angles that can be peeked during movement.
I like reserve. The underground and the way the map was made is very appealing.

#

Best part is losing your sense of direction. lol I'm getting the hang of it..

calm sorrel
#

gotta love getting lost

#

feels amazing

bronze magnet
#

I'm the type of guy who checks his map every 20 paces. So for me its a new feeling to use my head to move around.
I used to do it more in this game I played called Reign of Kings when I was younger. I knew those maps by sheer ground level and certain forest design. lol
Otherwise this game feels like an ant in a big sandbox. The distance threw me for a loop on customs for abit. It all fell into place eventually.

Ive been struggling with this for a while but... I do PMC and Scav Runs a lot and get 1-2k XP but im still only about level 15 whilst some people I play with g et to levels 30 and 40 much quicker than i get to 10. How do I level up quicker? (and does it change anything)

stiff fractal
#

Tasks give most xp. Scavs give no xp.

#

To level up, play pmc and focus tasks. Get lots of scav kills for easy xp.

fossil mortar
#

Is there a more efficient way to do tasks than just run around woods/customs till I find the things I need or is it just within that vein?

fossil mortar
#

Ah okay thx

stiff fractal
#

Not all tasks are find “x” item

misty ginkgo
fossil mortar
#

I was trying to find Salewas for this one quest for a while

misty ginkgo
#

To be even faster you should try and stack your tasks.
Know what tasks you get when, and then just work towards trying to complete 5-6 tasks on the map you're running.

misty ginkgo
stiff fractal
#

If trying to get xp up for traders and such, literally just spam task after task. Youll get the trader rep while getting the xp.

cold fog
#

I've got a few shoreline keys if you need a hand looting resort

#

I'm not super great at pvp tho so if we run into anyone at resort it'll be a toss-up if we survive lmao

misty ginkgo

I would recommend getting all the meta keys, not a few.

#

Shoreline ain't worth it else imo

fossil mortar
#

Im much too unprepared to do anything like that, I barely know how to play the game

Spent 5 minutes trying to find mountain extract for a Scav run yesterday

Surprised 301 isn't in there, everyone tells me it's good

#

E301 specifically

misty ginkgo
#

It is

#

East 301 is bad

#

West 301 is the good one

Maybe I have west then

I'd have to check when I get home I can't remember which ones I have

i have a problem

#

i restarted my game 4 times but i keep only seeing bartering items at traders is this because of th update?

#

i literally cant buy ammo

terse oasis
#

Only barter items

#

All items purchased with money have been removed from the game

#

For an end wipe event

surreal barn
#

i heard labs is open

is it possible to buy items again?
(cause i just got nothing)

terse oasis
#

Labs is open, and you cant buy items with money

surreal barn

You can get stuff from Fence if you like that, but its only scav equipment

#

Fence is the only trader that accepts money right now

#

Literary no traders event

#

So bad

rain karma

the entire prewipe is complete trash

#

only the boss spawns on customs are funny

surreal barn

idk up to no traders i was having a good time

now i'm just out of equipment
while i see others carrying Mutants with BP that they saved the whole wipe

i'm here without a single thing to use besides a half borked gun. with god knows what the scav decided to pick from the trash

surreal barn
#

just taking a break now i guess.. till this is over
which sucks cause i REALLY like the game

but i feel more than ever that i just cannot compete

yea

this is bs

this is my 1st wipe

If you are fast you can get some stuff

#

they only opened labs for pvp, by stuff do you mean loot?

terse oasis
#

Yeah, if you spawn close to each other you can have some luck and give him a head eyes

fresh owl
#

most people violet or black card so just "hang around" there. camping is a viable strategy that should be encouraged :)

wary vortex
#

whats the point of rubles if only one trader takes them? ami missing something?

terse oasis
#

No

#

Rubles dont have any point now, except than buy somethings in the flea

#

Or with Fence

wary vortex
#

so how do i buy stuff? was this changed recently?

#

do i just find that stuff and hope someone takes it?

terse oasis
wary vortex
terse oasis
#

You can sell almost any item in the game for something you specify, for example, I want to sell a gun, I can sell it for rubles, or other item, for example bolts, and now with the event people dont care about money anymore, and just trade stuff

wary vortex
#

oh so this is only for a limited time that rubles arent worth much?

fresh owl
#

he probably isnt high enough level for flea market

wary vortex
#

it shows up for me

fresh owl
#

yes but only trader items

terse oasis
fresh owl
#

the game is gonna reset soon so the devs are doing events

500k roubles and starting gear is not gonna help me

terse oasis
tidal sluice
#

i would argue it is worse

pearl pier
#

does the armasight n15 block me from using a helmet?

tidal sluice
#

especially how bad they made this pre wipe event

jagged laurel
#

Traders still up?

#

Aka barter only?

tidal sluice
#

Looking for super extra help

high niche
#

Yes the armasight prevents you from using a helmet

tepid osprey
#

Difference between USEC and BEAR?

woeful spruce
tepid osprey
#

Which is "better" regarding all those

woeful spruce
#

usecs also have a slightly easier time on the north part of the map lighthouse

woeful spruce
#

bear is russians usecs are americaans\

kindred grotto
#

bears are for chads

tepid osprey
#

im a bear rn

#

but im wondering if usec is any better because of lighthouse

woeful spruce
#

interestingly pretty consistently usecs make up around 60% of players

kindred grotto
#

usec is better

#

but lighthouse sucks imo, people only play it for the loot

woeful spruce
tepid osprey
#

So it's like scav vs scav in the camp

woeful spruce
#

so i guess it makes it easier to move up to it but its best asaulted from a distance anyway

woeful spruce
#

they just dont shoot you on sight outside

tepid osprey
#

Ohhhh, alright

#

I thought you were able to enter and just loot

#

interesting.

woeful spruce
#

nah that would be op

wicked zealot
#

is anyone giving away stuff for the end of wipe im just trying to play but have no money or kits to do so

gaunt compass
#

whats up with traders

woeful spruce
#

but they added a whole bunch new barters for dogtags

gaunt compass
#

pre wipe ?

#

when will the wipe happen

woeful spruce
#

yes, wipe is coming on the 30th of june

gaunt compass
#

seriously ?

woeful spruce
#

everyone is baisically 98% usre that thats the date but it can of course change

gaunt compass
#

so even if not 30th of june its pretty close right

#

so i can use all my guns

woeful spruce
#

and this whole week there have been special event happening that are pretty characteristical of pre wipe

woeful spruce
#

its in 5 days, go ham my man

gaunt compass
#

wow it will be fun

woeful spruce
#

also another event from today

#

labs is free

gaunt compass
#

so after the wipe what will we have

#

starter kit ?

woeful spruce
gaunt compass
#

what about my level

woeful spruce
#

wiped

#

go down to lvl 1

#

even gun presets wipe

gaunt compass
#

well that sucks

misty ginkgo
gaunt compass
#

couldnt hit level 15

#

anyways

#

thank you so much

woeful spruce
#

dont worry next wipe will be probably around december again so youll have lots of time

woeful spruce
#

jk but seriously looked like headshot

gaunt compass
#

oh i dont have any bullets

woeful spruce
#

but a forhead kind of headshot

gaunt compass
#

where can i get bullets

woeful spruce
#

so very likely bounced off the helmet

woeful spruce
#

also some prapor barters

misty ginkgo
woeful spruce
#

ss190 pens 37 so it doesnt go through killa altyn tagilla and that one helmet with a lvl 4 visor

#

but most likely once again helmet deflection

#

most helmets in labs are lvl 4 so fair chance at stopping ss190

misty ginkgo
#

You weird bro

#

It isn't bulletproof

#

Wdym

woeful spruce
#

it halways has been bulletproof ive had so many standoffs with people thaere

woeful spruce
#

just looking at aeachother through the glass not being able to hit

misty ginkgo
#

You've seen some 12.9 clip

#

It was made not bulletproof in 12.11

#

It's a year ago

woeful spruce
#

tbh i havent been playing labs too much since 12.10

#

so my bad in that case

#

i retract my previous statement

wary vortex
#

does the wipe reset character level too?

rain karma
#

yes

basically everything

#

Go so I can kill you

#

I need guns

#

Thanks

misty ginkgo
#

I should’ve killed that guy honestly

misty ginkgo
#

But it’s quite funny seeing how easy people blame cheats. 💀

wicked marsh
#

I nailed a guy with 11 rounds of ss190 and he didnt die earlier in the wipe

#

was great

misty ginkgo
#

In the head?

split dagger
#

Faceshield has 50 50 chance to tank bp

#

And u deserved to die because u a rat

wide bridge
#

i'm having some aliasing while i have anti aliasing on

any way to fix that?

misty ginkgo
#

They ratted in the hallway

#

Misted all their shots

#

So i got in Black and ratted

#

And then he blamed cheats

split dagger
#

My man you got into black closed all the doors behind you

#

You planned that shit

misty ginkgo
#

Yeah 😦

#

I was so ratty

#

Didn’t speak with them

#

I actually slow walked

#

All the way inside black room

#

So i didn’t lose my pistol

#

I miss that pistol, usually just hatchet runs

rotund badger
#

for graphic settings, is mip streaming good? i heard its like texture stremaing, im just trying to improve my fps dead

bold kernel
#

yes it lowers texture quality from a distance

misty ginkgo
split dagger
#

If you have good cpu but weak gpu turn it on

rotund badger
#

also should i uncheck only use physical cores, i heard this game doesn't run multithreating really well

split dagger

But if both are equal you wont see much difference

( was answering to Nsy )

yeah i assumed that

unreal marlin
#

how do people receive all their money from a claim rewards thing from the trader?

misty ginkgo
wide bridge
unreal marlin
#

they get everything in a trade

#

or like a quest reward kinda thing

misty ginkgo
# unreal marlin like this

Probably ragman, as he's the one "controlling" flea market.

If you sell something on flea, he will give you your money.
You get a message from him, and then press "Receive All"

#

That is a lot of money tho

#

He must've been stacking it for a long time

misty ginkgo
#

Works the same way if you do a task, and get a reward.

You get a message from the trader, with your stuff.

split dagger
#

😂

hidden violet
#

does anyone have any tips for task progression next wipe other than stacking tasks

split dagger
#

Do your tasks before you even get them

Like ice cream cones

no way u just said that

tacit ferry
#

how

stuck hinge
#

"just learn the maps" lmaoo

tacit ferry
#

do it

woeful spruce
#

i think having a tutorial and at least an out of raid map would really not hurt this game but the devs are having none of it

kindred grotto
#

it is supposed to be like this

#

get used to it

tacit ferry
#

It’s my first wipe too

woeful spruce
#

so yea apart from mapgenie for maps theres this page you should bookmark https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics this explains the difrences between the hundreds of ammo types

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

tacit ferry
#

But I didn’t bitch about no map

kindred grotto
#

it is my first wipe too

stuck hinge
#

how tf am I supposed to know where to go if im just dropped into a map and the game says "go to an extraction point" like im supposed to know where that is immediately

kindred grotto
#

just suck it up and go die

i dont either

i lost all them

not asking the game to handhold me all im asking is for a little bit of assistance from the game instead of just dropping me into a map and saying go

whats easiest map

Factory

#

Or labs

#

but you’ll die instantly on labs

kindred grotto

"labs"

#

💀

stuck hinge
#

this is beginner chat dont give me mixed answers

kindred grotto
#

factory

#

smallest

stuck hinge
#

okay thankyou

kindred grotto
#

map

woeful spruce
# stuck hinge whats easiest map

to learn? thats factory cause its the smallest but its also one of the hardest to survive on. the easiest to survive on is maybe like woods or shoreline if you avoid the biggest points of intrest on those but they are both kinda hard to learn

kindred grotto
#

also the worst map as a beginner

tacit ferry
#

Labs is pretty small

woeful spruce
#

right now if i were you i wouldnt touch customs as theres an in game limited time event whre every scav boss from every map is on customs at once so getting out of there alive is challenging

wet relic
#

getting a compass from prapov or whatever his name is has been useful to me so far. just do his first mission and then the convoy search one

stuck hinge
#

what is this wipe everyones talking about

tacit ferry
#

Everyone’s progress gets reset

#

In like a week

#

Prob on the 30th

stuck hinge

so I get my starter guns back

tacit ferry
#

Yeah

It’s just like 2 m4s and some mp5s

last wipe was about last christmas and now its gonna wipe on th 30th of june

formal minnow
#

they need to get rid of this barter trade bs

#

shitty event for people that want to learn the game, before the wipe

kindred grotto
#

late wipe is shit for beginners anyway

woeful spruce
formal minnow
#

late wipe is still a great time to get to know the game and understand the mechanics

woeful spruce
#

and they dont get the experience of getting a habit of buying esentiall stuff like meds or headsets

#

this event would be fine as a one day thing

#

but keeping it for the next week is a pretty bad idea

split dagger
#

Its much easier to learn the game late wipe than when it wipes

kindred grotto
#

the gameplay is shit for them tho

split dagger
#

There is less players late wipe and nobody is camping quest spots

kindred grotto
#

outclassed

split dagger
#

Its always like that till you get some traders

#

And it aint even that bad

#

Get pk2 and skier 2

#

M80 and rfb slap

But this event is shit

wet relic
#

my fleamarket just says "no offers found in the weapons category" but I dont think I've touched anything

whilst the flea isn't disabled. It's overly inflated on a majority of things. If you uncheck to ignore barters, you may find what you are looking for

But yeah, I'm also very very new, but I've found this video series, along with getting the compass from Prapov(or whatever his name is), very helpful:

the videos are kinda old, but the maps are still largely the same

#

navigation is the important bit to learn right away anyways

woeful spruce
#

this one is more up to date

wet relic

Ah. Well still, the landmarks have been nice, I've actually been able to get decent loot for my level at least. A more recent one is best though, yeah

misty ginkgo
woeful spruce
# misty ginkgo I mean, it’s not that hard

it actually is hard and more work than most games ask of you, theres now what 8 difrent huge maps memorising their layouts and extracts is quite a daunting task, just learning them is hard and having some help from the game in doing it wouldnt hurt the realism that much, im thinking like a station in the hideout where there are the paper maps from therapist and you mark stuff on them and look at them while out of raid

Traders still barter only?

woeful spruce

i think the amount of work to get into this game could be greatly reduced very easily without hurting any core systems

this barter only event is kinda like hardcore tarkov simulator

so not the right thing to do for most of the community

#

so alot of poeple suggest factory to new players to try and memorize but whats another map thats easy to pick up?

#

easier i should say

edgy plover
#

Woods and Customs are definitely the only two maps new players should start on - Woods is quieter but harder to learn (It's a lot of trees, less landmarks), Customs is harder to much easier to pick up.

alot of people seem to suggest it for some reason ill take your guys word for it though
