their own faction*

[open hedge]

Rogues aim better move different and target different

[sand needle]

no they target different

[bold kernel]

ok, ive been using pmc class as practise. in woods they spawn right side of map. correct?

[sand needle]

hes right as much as i want to say hes wrong

you are right in there are special enemies on almost every map

but they are so different in how they fight

on reserve

they will just push

labs

they actually try and flank

rouges

dont do any of that they are just nuts lol

[vast cipher]

i have i under 30 hours but understand the game anyone down to run a few raids and show me some tips and tricks

[violet dune]

no there are multiple spawns that are spread out through the map. left side, right side, mid left, mid right, south side, mid south side, etc. simplifying it ofc lol

[sand needle]

@vast cipher type that on lfg, im sure you will get someone

[bold kernel]

in woods practise. ive been spawning at this lone wood cabin with a squad of scavs. whats that place called on map genie?

[mint light]

attachment cabin?

[open hedge]

The best place other than usec camp

[violet dune]

if its fenced off, with a road infront of it, and a big cabin. and on the road on the left side of the house there is a broken down black suv then its called Scav House

[open hedge]

Attachment cabin my beloved

[mint light]

i dont play woods i am a functioning person

[open hedge]

Real men learn lighthouse

[mint light]

real men play labs like normal people

[open hedge]

And woods

And customs

And every other map

Real men know all maps

[bold kernel]

it could be scav house

[mint light]

i happen to know all the maps

am i a real man

[sand needle]

Real men don't camp corners in labs

[mint light]

12.12 lab angle holding

[open hedge]

Facts

[smoky oracle]

real men dont camp jager at lvl 33

facts

[sand needle]

lfmao

im a total rat, you will never catch me camping a corner on labs

disgusting

only reason d2 same situation doesnt bother me, is cause i know that guy, REALLY needed that gear lol

[mint light]

what

[sand needle]

@mint light i was merely saying, as a rat, im not even that much of a toxic player to camp a corner in lab lol

[dawn geyser]

[violet dune]

imo i suggest instead of doing offline mode as a pmc, u do online mode. sure u will die a lot, but you learn a bunch such as knowning where players push depending on their spawn, knowing the routes they could take and how to cut em off. or if u got shot from a spot that u werent aware of, and where they position themselves across the map. accept that u will die a lot, and thats ok cuz even if u dropped to 0 roubles or up to a 100m roubles, these wont carry over to the next wipe only ur experience of the map/players.

[mint light]

rats are not real

rats are programmed by big tarkov

i refuse to believe that people find joy in sitting in a corner

[sand needle]

rats existed way before tarkov lmfao

[open hedge]

Literal npcs

[mint light]

what an astute observation

[violet dune]

rats are dayz players

they're used to it.

[mint light]

dayz players are also not real

[sand needle]

hey guys

[mint light]

that game is awful

[sand needle]

don't we lve in an inclusive society

im a member of there society

as a rat i can tell you, they are just afraid

[open hedge]

Day z players refusing to play games that actually function as intended

[sand needle]

they aren't having fun

[bold kernel]

But if I run out of gear to use, then I'm screwed because I'll only have a knife then

[mint light]

im the reason they afraid no cap

im just too good at tarkov

[sand needle]

you very well might be

im only good at making money in tarkov

[mint light]

reeses do u remember me getting 3 overheads in one raid

[sand needle]

thats my only skill

[open hedge]

Yes

[mint light]

i went sicko mode!!!

[violet dune]

with scav runs, and cheap/budget pmc runs only a pistol a mag in ur pocket. and spare ammo in ur container, u can learn to one 1 tap an ai scav even if after 10 deaths or so.

[mint light]

reeser

is this insane early wipe drip

this is baller

[violet dune]

its got a steep learning curve, which u will get over. also i do recommend running in a squad of no more than 3 or so that way u can learn.

[open hedge]

I’m bear

[mint light]

ok

you need to restart account

[open hedge]

Bear has drip default

[mint light]

damn ivans

wait this shit is insane

usec clothing designer works for gucci

im going tan roleplayer mode

the chameleon is s tier tho

[grim gull]

is there a way to heal my pmc after the post raid screen?

[mint light]

yeah

[sand needle]

Use meds

[mint light]

using meds

[open hedge]

That was my fit last wipe

[sand needle]

Just like in game

[grim gull]

ah lol ok

[mint light]

reeses going roleplayer mode

[sand needle]

Out of game is just 3rd person in game lol

Like a pause menu

[shrewd onyx]

I killed PMC in factory as scav for this

[mint light]

reeses hop on csgo

[open hedge]

Sock mask gives me terminal cancer

[sand needle]

You look like the newest dbd killer

New dlc leaked

[mint light]

[open hedge]

Traffic

[mint light]

[open hedge]

Mid guys

[mint light]

its so funny

everyone in that game dosent understand gravity

[open hedge]

Fall guys players are scavs irl

[mint light]

epic game is actually blessed

they give out cool free games

that are triple aaa

[open hedge]

Epic launcher sucks

Carried by free games

I hate everything about it other than the free stuff

[mint light]

entire bioshock collection

i will sell my soul to epic now

they gave away maneater

[misty ginkgo]

Tf is biochock

[mint light]

looks kinda cool

[mint light]

???

u dont know bioshock

bioshock is one of the most popular games ever

[bold kernel]

On woods. Is zb-14 scav only exfil?

[misty ginkgo]

My epic account is literally filled with those free games, if i would ever get bored i just install once of them

[open hedge]

No?

[misty ginkgo]

Nope, when in raid double press O - it’ll show you all your extracts

[bold kernel]

How do I breach the door

[open hedge]

It needs a key

Use a different extract

[bold kernel]

Ok

[mint light]

thats big daddy

[misty ginkgo]

I don’t play this type of games.

Probably the reason i don’t know it

[mint light]

big daddy is scary

[misty ginkgo]

Im more of a fps/open world gamer

[mint light]

it is an fps

lol

HOLY SHIT

HOLY SHIT

KILLING FLOOR 2 FREE ON JULY 7TH

NO WAY

[misty ginkgo]

Who cares about killing floor

[mint light]

THAT GAME IS SO GOOD

[open hedge]

Left for dead 3

[misty ginkgo]

It was released 6 years ago

Can’t be that good

Btw, when do we expect gta 6?

Im a 2025 believer ngl

[mint light]

its cracked

[open hedge]

GTA is for npcs

[mint light]

its so gory and slow motion and pog

no way valorant is on epic launcher

[misty ginkgo]

It is

[mint light]

thats so pointless

[misty ginkgo]

🤷‍♂️

Everything on Epic games launcher is also cheap af

[open hedge]

Steam is better than epic at everything other than free games

[misty ginkgo]

Cheaper than steam

[mint light]

steam has a fucking monopoly

[open hedge]

It’s good though

I’m a firm supporter of steam

[misty ginkgo]

Facts.

All my games is on steam rn, all my friends, all my online play, all my ingame screenshots, my steam profile.

Steam is way better if you play multiplayer games

[misty ginkgo]

It’s good.

[mint light]

steam is done very well

community market is nice

clean ui

[dawn geyser]

Epic?

[misty ginkgo]

Did you know that it is possible to change your steam ui?

[mint light]

YES

i love kf2 so much

[mint light]

ye

[dawn geyser]

kewl

[bold kernel]

How do I exfil? I'm at outskirts as pmc

[mint light]

im installing fall guys

[bold kernel]

In woods

[mint light]

u stand in it

do u have outskirts as in option

[bold kernel]

Idk

[open hedge]

If you spawn near a extract you will not have it double tap o to see extracts

[mint light]

double tap o

[deep edge]

dbl tap O

[bold kernel]

What do those mean?

[dawn geyser]

[open hedge]

Those are your extracts

[dawn geyser]

Double tap letter O.

[bold kernel]

Ok

[mint light]

downloading fall guys as we speak

im gonna crack on these kiddos

[misty ginkgo]

The team thing is so bad

[bold kernel]

I had to travel across to the other side of the map. Fuck that. I left

[mint light]

bro left the lobby

[dim crag]

😔

[mint light]

un roadblock is close to outskirts too

[misty ginkgo]

You’re never gonna escape tarkov

[dim crag]

💀

[bold kernel]

I'll die before I reach the other side

[mint light]

why

[bold kernel]

Or time runs out

[dim crag]

it dosent hurt to try

[mint light]

follow the beach and boom

u leave

[dim crag]

i mean atleast TRY to exfil

[misty ginkgo]

This guy is Yanny v2

[bold kernel]

The map is as big as skyrim. It takes 30 minutes to travel across skyrim by foot. I don't have 30 minutes in this game

[misty ginkgo]

Not that big 💀

Takes you 2 minutes running from outskirts to un roadblock

I’ve done it multiple times

[dim crag]

even if just TRY

dont just leave

[mint light]

bro said skyrim

[bold kernel]

There are enemies located at every location. Especially in that logging place

There are 41 locations on the map

[misty ginkgo]

That’s just tarkov, a fps game

[dim crag]

💀

[misty ginkgo]

If you didn’t want enemies you should try offline, with no AI enabled

[digital sable]

Not really. It’s very easy to cross Woods without ever encountering a scav or player

[dim crag]

now tarkovs a adventure game

[bold kernel]

I'm a pmc

[mint light]

nah this is crazy

[misty ginkgo]

Yeah..

[bold kernel]

Lol

[misty ginkgo]

What does it change that you’re a pmc?

[grim gull]

can i do quests as scav?

[misty ginkgo]

No

[bold kernel]

Pmc in woods with every enemy a scav. I have a target on my back

[dim crag]

get this man in a voice chat💀

[grim gull]

👍

[misty ginkgo]

That’s tarkov - first person shooter.

Wouldn’t be a shooter if there was nothing to shoot - i think you found the wrong game, try Skyrim or Fall Guys

[dim crag]

why ask for advice then become in denial 😂

[bold kernel]

I've played souls games for years. I've gotten decent in stalker. This is just another challenge I have to beat

[open hedge]

Bruh

[misty ginkgo]

Yeah

You don’t beat anything by leaving

If you didn’t know

[open hedge]

Have fun “beating” this game if your to lazy to walk across the map

[dim crag]

ill respect the grind i guess? but why leave

[dim crag]

💀

[bold kernel]

Is it possible I can spawn in a better location instead of across the map

[open hedge]

No

You always receive the furthest extracts from your spawn

[misty ginkgo]

No

[dim crag]

😫

[bold kernel]

Ok

I'll try again

[dim crag]

🤦‍♂️

[dim crag]

dont leave this time LMAO

[bold kernel]

Thankfully, I'm just practicing. So I'm not losing anything

[dim crag]

😂

[stuck dirge]

You will lose lots, just wait

[wispy elbow]

what quest unlocks signal jammers and how do you reuse them

[bold kernel]

That's why I use scav for online. So I don't have to lose anything in my main

[stuck dirge]

You just gotta get through the pain or you’ll learn nothing

Everyone dies A LOT when they first start out unless they have played csgo for thousands of hours

[bold kernel]

It's simple. Complete raids, get gear, complete quests with my scav. Then use all that money for my main. Then when's he's op, then use him in online

[dim crag]

😔

[cinder spade]

You can’t get XP or quests done on Scav (except for item fetch quests)

[stuck dirge]

That’s just not how the game works

[open hedge]

If you never practice real pvp you’ll never be good enough to survive with good gear

Also quests don’t work as scav

[bold kernel]

You the hell designed this game. They obviously never played any other game before. They never any online games, or single player games, or any games that involve pve. No one like strictly pvp games.

[proud flower]

I found 1/2 maps and just played em exclusively for a wipe. Learning some good spawns and routes through low pvp maps helps you learn the game pretty well. Id also say focus quests. You really want good traders. Scavs can keep you from going bankrupt, but I don't run em too much

[proud flower]

Theres an entire pve mode in the game lol

[open hedge]

Nikita likes when people like you complain

[dim crag]

😂

[bold kernel]

That's called a tutorial

Lol

[proud flower]

What?

I play offline for fun lol

[bold kernel]

The offline practise

Mode

[mint light]

offline is so boring

[proud flower]

You can turn bots all the way up its great

I play it at work when I can't listen to audio

[smoky oracle]

scav wars is awesome on insane just gun shots everywhere

[signal moss]

plus you can bring all of your best loot without fear of losing it

[sand needle]

go offline you can get so much free loot

[misty ginkgo]

I like it

[stuck dirge]

And you can bring your friends now too

[bold kernel]

Wait, you can keep the loot in offline mode?

[proud flower]

No

[misty ginkgo]

No

[proud flower]

If you want a similar experience though stalker anomaly is good for PVE

[open hedge]

Bruh

[proud flower]

Its also free

[bold kernel]

I've been playing stalker anomaly. I'm decent. I wanted to try this challenge. I kept hearing how it's difficult. So I wanted to see HOW difficult

[proud flower]

Its really not too bad. Just take a break when it gets frustrating

[stuck dirge]

It’s just bottled pain

[proud flower]

Im already level 12 in 15 raids?

[signal moss]

the difficult part is waking up the next day to no insurance return

[misty ginkgo]

Difficult enough for you to give up and leave a raid

[jade tartan]

Less difficult, more just annoying early. Once you unlock flea i find it ez, until then its pain imo tho....

[signal moss]

yea its hell before flea

compared to after at least

[proud flower]

Whats flea this wipe?

[bold kernel]

Lol, I'm just doing offline practise raids

[proud flower]

15 right?

[jade tartan]

15

[signal moss]

yea 15

[proud flower]

Sweet almost there

[stuck dirge]

I feel like your first wipe is just terrible, so much to learn

[proud flower]

I found the new lighthouse marked key lol

[signal moss]

im lvl 10 rn and this is my first wipe

[misty ginkgo]

Offline ain’t close to a real raid.

[jade tartan]

im lvl 2 lmao, im dyin learning new woods

[signal moss]

and this is my 4th day playing and i feel like im doing alright

ive got like 1 million saved and a lot of guns

[misty ginkgo]

15

[signal moss]

and junk box

[proud flower]

Offlines not but its still fun

[misty ginkgo]

Not bad, i would focus on xp over money tho

[signal moss]

yeah ive been trying to do some quests but i keep dying on my way over

[stuck dirge]

Really depends what you played before Tarkov imo. It was my first fps on keyboard and mouse and it was terrible, I quit for like a year

[misty ginkgo]

I like a challenge, guess we have different playstyles

[proud flower]

Woods is a weird at first. Just remember you always gotta cross the map from spawn. Don't got bogged down looting

[signal moss]

yeah i just built my gaming pc and before this i played strictly console fps games so this is my firsty

[proud flower]

Look for landmarks aswell

[misty ginkgo]

Find a buddy and do them

[signal moss]

feeling pretty good about my standing though

[misty ginkgo]

What i did

[proud flower]

I gotta do brass pocket watch tonight

[signal moss]

i have a friend and its been going a little better

[stuck dirge]

Big advice here

[proud flower]

Least favorite quest

[misty ginkgo]

Console fps games?

[signal moss]

hes got another wipe under his belt so he has more experience

[signal moss]

well in terms of fps games just only on console

[stuck dirge]

I find quests are easiest if you don’t focus on them but keep them in mind

[signal moss]

played a lot of other stuff too

[proud flower]

Ill never do em if I don't focus

[signal moss]

me neither

[proud flower]

Cause my least favorite map is customs

[signal moss]

customs is okay

[jade tartan]

ye thats the problem, most of the landmarks i remembered are hurting me because they're slightly diff or moved now

[stuck dirge]

But the pocket watch I guarantee you’ve walked past a hundred times

[bold kernel]

you guys are playing this with M & K?

[jade tartan]

kinda got it down now tho, makes it easier when u know which side of lake you are

[signal moss]

i like taking the peacekeeper ump to customs and just kinda messing people up

[misty ginkgo]

Obviously

[signal moss]

i play tarkov on a gamecube controller

[bold kernel]

wow. Lol

[stuck dirge]

I play with a wii remote

[bold kernel]

i use controller on all pc games

[jade tartan]

like i saw scav house and im like "oh im far right side of map"

when in reality its far left now lol

[cosmic meadow]

anyone with custom keys wanna run aquarius or delivery from the past? (blue 206 or directors) lol

[proud flower]

@jade tartan yea the expansion was REALLY weird to learn. The main things to remember are the dumpster on the road outside usec, the crashed plane, sniper rock, checkpoint and sawmill. I find if you remember those ull never get lost

[bold kernel]

im not kidding

[misty ginkgo]

Homie playing tarkov with a controller

Good luck learning tarkov

[signal moss]

silly guy

[stuck dirge]

That’s your problem, no point in playing pc games with a controller

[proud flower]

@bold kernel you're playing tarkov with a controller?

[cosmic meadow]

that guy has to be baiting

[proud flower]

How do you bind keys like meds?

[signal moss]

lmfao

[bold kernel]

ya, its kinda difficult since i need to unlock things like compass, flashlight, etc

[jade tartan]

he never gets hit so he never needs meds

[sand needle]

settings

[stuck dirge]

Easy, just open the menu to use them

[misty ginkgo]

Learn to play m&k

[signal moss]

if you get hit then you just need to get better

[misty ginkgo]

Asap

[signal moss]

i have so much skill that bullets phase through me

[bold kernel]

ive used controller my entire life since i first got a ps2

[proud flower]

On a controller lol

[sand needle]

thats easy, you throw the controller in the trash where it belongs

[signal moss]

you had to learn to use a controller so you can learn to play m&k

[jade tartan]

sa-58 still trash or worth using now?

[proud flower]

I agree I was asking the dude who plays with a controller lol

[sand needle]

31 years old, grew up on controller

regret all of it

[signal moss]

yeah

[bold kernel]

m and k has too many buttons. its too difficult to memerize every button

[signal moss]

m&k is a little harder to get down imo but its way better

[signal moss]

i mean just play the game and youll get better

itll become instinct

[somber halo]

Could anyone tell me the tagged and cursed details? Like what is the least you can go w? Do you need a handgun and mag, etc?

[signal moss]

once you get good at it its a much better experience

coming from a guy whos been playing m&k for a week after playing controller my entire life

by the way

youll get it down

[stuck dirge]

It’s a lot more natural once you get used to it

[signal moss]

yeah ^

[stuck dirge]

And you’ll never wanna go back

[bold kernel]

lets see, buttons are every letter, every number, every symbol, and then combinations. thats over 100 buttons

[somber halo]

Aiming is a dream on M & K

[signal moss]

youre not using every button

[stuck dirge]

But you don’t use them all

[signal moss]

plus if you dont like the keybinds you can change them to any of the binds

whatever is most comfortable

like i have numpad 9 as my check mag because i find it easier than alt+t

[somber halo]

So anyone know the details on tagged and cursed?

[signal moss]

no clue

[bold kernel]

ya, i use controller and for like 5 buttons, keyboard

[dry belfry]

What are you asking

[stuck dirge]

I think you need a primary

[somber halo]

What makes you tagged and cursed? Is a pistol and mag okay? Do you need a backpack or rig? Can you tell when you're tagged and cursed?

[jade tartan]

yeah pistol only makes you tagged and curse

[dry belfry]

You need 3 pieces of equipment on

Including weapon

[bold kernel]

what is tagged and cursed?

[jade tartan]

ai know where you are and hunt you iirc

[somber halo]

Scavs hunt you down

[dry belfry]

Doesn't matter if it's a pistol or an RSASS, you need 3 pieces of equipment

[bold kernel]

how do u become that?

[somber halo]

Does a mag count? Like pistol mag and rig?\

[jade tartan]

isnt knife excluded tho?

[somber halo]

Entering with not enough gear

[dry belfry]

Nah, three wearable pieces

Pistol, hat, and mask counts

[somber halo]

That's weird. Why would hat and mask count? Haha. So you have something minor to lose?

[bold kernel]

so if your broke and have only a knife. great. ugh

[somber halo]

Yee, they'll fuck you up

[dry belfry]

Just another example of a half-complete mechanic

[somber halo]

Fair

I've been running just pistol and rig and not noticing too many differences honestly

[bold kernel]

so how do you fix that. if your screwed

[dry belfry]

Tagged and Cursed is actually great if you're broke

[somber halo]

Scav run

[stuck dirge]

You should never be that broke

[signal moss]

yeah ngl i sometimes run just pistol factory and its not that bad

[signal moss]

^

[somber halo]

And prapor sends you shit if you're broke

[signal moss]

yea

[stuck dirge]

Worst case scenario you use your scav to get guns

[signal moss]

if you have absolutely 0 money you're doing something very wrong because of scavs lol

[somber halo]

Playing a scav run safe is super likely to be survived. And get at least some gear

[bold kernel]

lets see. scavs cant do quests, get exp, or anything. so whats the point of being a scav. the only they can do is be respawnable

[somber halo]

You get gear for free basicallty

[bold kernel]

theyres no permanat loss for scavs

[west sluice]

And reliable money making

[stuck dirge]

It’s straight profit, everything you bring out has no initial money put in

[bold kernel]

scavs have shit loadout, so your fucked. 1 shot kill

[west sluice]

Learn a map and do stash runs

[stuck dirge]

As long as you don’t see a pmc you should survive

[topaz trout]

where can i get tarcone directors key

[west sluice]

Therapist barter

[stuck dirge]

Scavs and jackets too

[bold kernel]

when another player snipes you from across the map. youll insta regret it

[stuck dirge]

I don’t think you realize how unlikely that is

[bold kernel]

there are hackers

[stuck dirge]

You can easily go tens of raids without seeing anyone if you know what you’re doing

[west sluice]

Only died in interchange scav runs because of how early I keep spawning

[sand needle]

what is the question here

about scavs

[stuck dirge]

It’s an inflated problem because there’s no kill cam

[sand needle]

there are a lot less hackers than people are telling you

[bold kernel]

ya right. there are dozens of players on the map. so your screwed

[sand needle]

that is a complete fact

[stuck dirge]

Actually on customs there’s 9-12

[sand needle]

tise ive seen you continuously argue this point, you can avoid everyone on the map 50% of the time if you are trying

[west sluice]

And half of the pmcs are most likely dead when you spawn in as a scav

[bold kernel]

this game is like every pvp game ever. having a minimum of 24 players in a game

[sand needle]

yeah if you are talking scav

depending on the map

you might not even have any pmcs left

[stuck dirge]

And scavs wont agro on you if you’re playing as a scav

[thin frigate]

I feel people call hacks when someone gets a lucky head eyes, I know I've gotten em before where you spin fire and hit a guy a decent distance away right in the face and almost feel bad lol

[sand needle]

only player scavs

and thats just a toxic thing that happens

[stuck dirge]

It’s just not though

[sand needle]

i call hacks when i know for a fact they couldnt't have known where my head was before i knew where they were standing

[thin frigate]

isn't the max amount of players like 16 or something?

pmc wise

[sand needle]

every map diff

[bold kernel]

lets see. 2 teams, scavs and pmc. 12 players each

[stuck dirge]

Streets is gonna be wild when it comes out

[dense warren]

can anyone help me get the jaeger trader? I'm new and just got the task for him

[sand needle]

tise are you trolling?

[jade tartan]

bruh h e l p

[bold kernel]

no. its gaming 101

[jade tartan]

im mid woods raid and i cant for the life of me find jaegar camp lmao

im in the area

[sand needle]

tarkov isnt gaming 101

its gaming 305

study up

[stuck dirge]

First of all there’s not teams, secondly p scavs don’t span in until a certain time and if you can’t deal with the ai scavs then you’re just generally dead regardless

[mint light]

guys he is breaking rule 3!!!

wowzers!!!

[thin frigate]

have you found the plane?

[sand needle]

any bullet can kill any player

[jade tartan]

no, but i went far south enough after moutain stash that i saw road

[sand needle]

raise your hand if you have walked in with gear worth over 1m and died to a shotgun with bad ammo?

[bold kernel]

ya, an npc scav can kill you in couple seconds. since they show up in squads. your chances of survival are very low. also they have 90% accuracy

[stuck dirge]

They dumb as hell

[stuck dirge]

Shotgun scavs go hard in the paint

[sand needle]

no i mean player scavs rolo

[thin frigate]

find the plane and its close to there, south, or head to the little stairs on the plane turn directly around and head that way and a bit to the right

[sand needle]

im saying as a player scav

with a toz

[stuck dirge]

This’ll happen too

[sand needle]

you can take out a full geared squad if you play it right

[stuck dirge]

Hurts a lot

I know that pain

[sand needle]

but happens ALL THE TIME right?

this game wants to simulate real life

a bullet is a bullet

and occasionally

[stuck dirge]

Not as much recently actually, at least for me. I’ve had wonderful interactions with p scavs since the wipe

[sand needle]

you catch the right one

for me recently its been more snipers

[stuck dirge]

Had a customs raid where there were like 10 p scavs just walking down the main road all just talking having a great time

You’d hear distant gunshots every once in awhile but just a wholesome experience all around

[sand needle]

i only run pistols for the first month of wipes

this wipe has been the weirdest sht ever

[somber halo]

Same so far

[stuck dirge]

Also had a p scav shoot me the other day and another p scav took them out and gave me meds, really nice

[sand needle]

you know d2 reserve spawn points right rolo?

[stuck dirge]

I don’t mess with reserve

I hate it so much

But I have a general idea of them

[sand needle]

ok imagine you are on customs

[jade tartan]

running aorund like an idiot looking for a plane lmao

[sand needle]

and you spawn in 3 story

and you take 2 steps and get shot by a scav

i know thats not a spawn

it is just the easiest analogy i have

[stuck dirge]

That’s painful

[sand needle]

because scavs don't spawn in the d2 pmc spawn points

but they have been on me lol

[stuck dirge]

Weird

[sand needle]

they changed marked and cursed i swear

[thin frigate]

you use the map website? it helps

[sand needle]

i use marked and cursed every wipe to get rich, hell im rich now

but out of nowhere

i can't raid

last raid i killed 17 scavs in 6 mins

[jade tartan]

yeah, it'd be more helpful if i had a compass tho

[sand needle]

still died

[sage shale]

What do you keybind your mic to?

[stuck dirge]

Sadness

[stuck dirge]

Mouse button 3

[sand needle]

and one was a SCAV named something program

[somber halo]

Same

[sage shale]

is it always on or push to talk?

[stuck dirge]

Push to talk

[sand needle]

my mic is mb5 personally

[sage shale]

ok thanks

[thin frigate]

use the sniper cliff, and big power plant towers to guide your way, the cliff should be north of you, and the powerplant stuff to the southeast

[hot ravine]

Who the fuck is sanctar

[sage shale]

im so new...like 20 hours in

it hurts

[stuck dirge]

Scav boss

[stuck dirge]

It’ll get better, at some point

[sage shale]

im trying

learned to not kills scavs when doing a scav run ahhaha

[sand needle]

so rolo, eveyone i ask questions to that is current with meta gets toxic

[sage shale]

i had no idea

[sand needle]

so ill try asking you

i quit after lvl 40 when they did str inertia

[hot ravine]

He was alone in factory night, Not shooting me til I saw him and scared the shit outta me with his weird ass mask (killed him though)

[sand needle]

so about 2.4 years ago

[mint light]

u mean sektant?

sektant is the cultists

[sand needle]

is there only one current meta?

[stuck dirge]

Bro idk meta, I just fuck around with my friends

But most definitely no

[sand needle]

so you don't know best ammo to use

[bold kernel]

Hey I have a 3070 ti and i was wondering if you knew how to fix the low GPU usage, I get like 20% GPU usage max, and im stuck at like 50-60 fps

[mint light]

meta is 7.62x39 and 7.62x51

[sand needle]

and those guns are?

[stuck dirge]

I know ammos and stuff

[mint light]

change ur settings

[hot ravine]

yeah that, Only him in the factory though

[sand needle]

ak and rpk?

[mint light]

mutant, akm, mdr, rsass, sr 25

[bold kernel]

2/10 advice

[mint light]

rpk is horrible

[stuck dirge]

But like I think every play style has a different meta and each is viable if you know how to use them right

[bold kernel]

what settings xD

[mint light]

ur graphics settings

[sand needle]

i go for the face

[mint light]

pump them up

[sand needle]

so what is that meta

[mint light]

the same

[sand needle]

i kill with pst

[deep edge]

post settings

[sand needle]

i dont need a mutant but thanks

[bold kernel]

post settings affect FPS?

[mint light]

pst vs fast late wipe

[deep edge]

no im saying post what your settings are lol

[sand needle]

i did it last wipe

i started the last 2 months of the wipe lmao

[stuck dirge]

The meta entirely falls apart if you go for face, meta only exists on people with armor

[sand needle]

face has armor

[olive oracle]

So i know that a lot of people carry around mosins and will reload them all game to level sniping skill, but are they just constantly dropping their bullets on the ground or do they get recycled back into your rig?

[sand needle]

especially with glasses

[stuck dirge]

Rarely

[sand needle]

those didnt exist for me

[mint light]

face armor is mostly terrible and brain buckets make u lose hearing so a lot of ppl including me opt out

[sand needle]

im purely talking about spamming weak guns with pst against the face shieild

[mint light]

ur gonna have to hit so many shots

[sand needle]

i have a 63%

so not the worst

[mint light]

63 percent what

[sand needle]

accuracy with pistols

[mint light]

ok

[stuck dirge]

Just camp office with the boys

[somber halo]

You can see accuracy w each weapon type?

[stuck dirge]

Easy pistol kills

And if not then you’ll get a good laugh

[somber halo]

Camp office w melee weapons

[sand needle]

im not looking for easy anything unless its quests

onlything ive ever struggled with is quests

i can make 100m in a week

but i cant do quests

[mint light]

ok

[stuck dirge]

I will try this

[sand needle]

i only have 3 or 4 mele kills this wipe

id be curious to see who had the most

[signal moss]

i have 0

[stuck dirge]

Probably a streamer because when they do viewer kits they melee kill the person

[somber halo]

Somebody left a belt combo and an ak-74m on a dead scav.

[sand needle]

@fleet skiff idk what streamers you watch, but they shoot when i watch?

[signal moss]

i just got a g36 and a t4 terminator while running to the extract on what was previously a bad scav

thats silly

[lunar stone]

bro what can you not call in 2 airdrops what the fuck?

[sand needle]

ive actually never called one in so idk lol

[signal moss]

me neither

[sand needle]

its a pretty new feature to the game

[lunar stone]

I just did two at once only one came in

[signal moss]

maybe only one airdrop per raid

?

[jaunty mantle]

Does big pipe spawn in offline raids ??

[sand needle]

im not sure what would posses anyone to use two in a raid but hey

[stuck dirge]

Pestily mostly

[sand needle]

ok thats unfair

[lunar stone]

bveing a big juicer lmao

[signal moss]

you can turn on boss spawns so i assume yes

[sand needle]

pestily is the gold standard of tarkov

[sand needle]

unfair comparison

[mint light]

tarkov dad. not the greatest player but he is basically the og

[jaunty mantle]

I yeah that’s the thing I turned it on in 2 raids and no spawn

[sand needle]

doesn't have to be the greatest player, hes the greatest teacher

most important job

[stuck dirge]

He knows his stuff and is very down to earth

[sand needle]

and can teach it to literally a rock

here i am

[signal moss]

yeah idk im pretty new

[sand needle]

living proof

[signal moss]

you are a slab of granite

[somber halo]

Do you need a flare gun to call one in? I found a red flare

[lunar stone]

no

just look in the sky

and shoot it

[sand needle]

for pestily i will wear that crown proudly

[stuck dirge]

I’ve only found flares so far but you do need the gun too I think

[somber halo]

Pest does a lotta good too. Lotta charity. Gotta respect it.

[sand needle]

i heard there were some that werent for the gun?

[mint light]

did u get the long flare or the cartridge

[bold kernel]

yo whats the best scav map rn

[sand needle]

no answer to that question

[bold kernel]

customs and interchange take too long to load

[stuck dirge]

Please elaborate, what’s the difference

[mint light]

one of them comes out of a gun the other dosent

[somber halo]

Long flare I believe

[sand needle]

lawless thats going to depend on you your location your internet and too many things for us to help you with

[somber halo]

Takes two slots?

[stuck dirge]

Do flares do damage?

[bold kernel]

im just askin for good loot

[sullen sphinx]

idk where to ask this, but which 12 gauge buckshot ( not slugs ) are the best (excluding flechette)

[sand needle]

rip

[somber halo]

The ballistics wiki has all the info. Super useful and easy to use

[west sluice]

Just check more servers or do something while its loading

[bold kernel]

no i mean scav times are weird rn so i load into a raid w max 10 minutes left

[sand needle]

ok

[bold kernel]

i just wanted to know if the other maps had better scav spawns rn

[sand needle]

if you can't get into a map

you have only one option

and it will load

and its factor y

but thats only if you want to kill scavs

[bold kernel]

ive been running factory but its gross

[wet solar]

same

[stuck dirge]

That’s the best though

[bold kernel]

bruh its nuts

[somber halo]

RSP-30 reactive signal cartridge red. Is that an airdrop flare? and do I need the gun? Also how long does it take for them to come in?

[sand needle]

please explain?

[bold kernel]

i never get in fights anymore with my scav 😦

[west sluice]

10 mins is better than spawning early into the raid only to run into a pmc

[bold kernel]

but

i wanna kill pmc

i need the rush

[stuck dirge]

Most likely all the pmcs are dead so just go to extract and loot along the way

[bold kernel]

eh anyways someone give me a map

[west sluice]

Do a pmc run then, you will have better info since they start from spawn

[bold kernel]

pls

ima say fuck it and scav

[sand needle]

no you said that in response to his scav times comment thats why i was so confused

[somber halo]

Wiki has all the maps

[bold kernel]

i know the maps i just wanted a random recommendation

[west sluice]

Was it map genie that everyone uses?

[sand needle]

hey guys, aside from having the scavs follow you and fight with you

why do you care about the scav rep?

[jade tartan]

scav rep affects the gear you spawn with

[west sluice]

Scav cooldown

[signal moss]

^^

[jade tartan]

lower cooldown as well

[sand needle]

so basically cause you are poor

[signal moss]

yes

[west sluice]

And potentially not getting shot by a boss

[signal moss]

precisely

[sand needle]

no i take every fight as a scav

i will always

no matter how important they make the rep

i will kil you all

lol

[signal moss]

i hate you

[sand needle]

not if you respond to my voip tho

[bold kernel]

ur gonna get some horrible scav spawns tho

[sand needle]

if you do that you good

and you get loot

[signal moss]

okay good

[west sluice]

Could probably walk up to a boss and shoot his face if I'm dirt poor with very high scav rep

[signal moss]

ive died so many times to some player scav acting friendly and just head tapping me immediately at the start of a raid

[signal moss]

yeah thats a good strat

[sand needle]

i killed tgilla 3 times on scav this wipe lol

[signal moss]

whats your karma like

[sand needle]

its not that bat

bad

[signal moss]

i think mines like 0.6 rn

[sand needle]

i mean my scav timer is 1 hr

but my rep is like -2.6

[west sluice]

0.42

[signal moss]

im a slave for reserve scavs so i like having the short cooldown

and better starting stuff for easy raider kills

[sand needle]

when you know how to make money

you are never poor

[west sluice]

Shot a p scav but no regrets because there were only 2 tushonkas on the food shelves area in interchange

[sand needle]

scav means nothing to me

except a labs card

if that didnt randomly spawn in our pockets

id never scav after the 3rd day

[signal moss]

maniac

this is my first wipe so im not good enough to be consistently winning my pmcs

[sand needle]

oh i dont win that much

i only use pistols

anything is possible in tarkov if you learn the game

[signal moss]

yeah well thats what im working on

[west sluice]

Same

[sand needle]

ofc and i commend you guys for that for sure

tis a rough road

orange

you know the best way to learn the game?

@signal moss

[signal moss]

what

[sand needle]

die

[signal moss]

sorry im in a scav rn

oh

[west sluice]

lmao

[signal moss]

i do that a lot

[sand needle]

not a joke

a fact

[signal moss]

yes

[sand needle]

its why i switched to a pistol

[signal moss]

by the end of the wipe im gonna make einstein look stupid

!!!

[sand needle]

if i cant win with that

im not as good as i think i am

[stuck crescent]

why does my game keep crashing when i load into a raid

[signal moss]

could be a ram issue

[sand needle]

your cpu was made by elves

[ruby harness]

where can i find large cans of beef stews on interchange?

[sand needle]

well if you find killa

[jade tartan]

i was on the wrong side...... no wonder i never saw plane lmao

was on east side but between mountain stash and scav town

Thanks for the help tho

[sand needle]

you got some beef

stew on that

[west sluice]

This area, shelves are usually stocked with food items

[sand needle]

the manz pulling out the map

[west sluice]

I cant explain properly without one XD

[sand needle]

i thought my answer was better, but hey

[grim gull]

what key do i press to use the compass? can't seem to find it

[mint light]

bind it to a number

press 4 5 6 et

[grim gull]

how do i bind equipment to those slots, settings?

[mint light]

press the number when u hover over it

[grim gull]

ahh thx

[west sluice]

Where do you guys go for the multivitamins?

[sand needle]

grocery store usually

[sand needle]

you can also physically drag the item down to the number you want to bind it to 😉

thats how the cool folks do it

[hot ravine]

BP Ammo or PP ?

[tough gyro]

what level does therapist have to be to get labs card

[coarse lodge]

why does it take so long for me to load into lighthouse but not other maps

[brittle canyon]

bt

[hot ravine]

Don't have a lot of that, any other suggestions ?

[brittle canyon]

have a lot of bt

[pine drift]

Isn't eod supposed to have the account start with all traders at good standing right?

[west sluice]

Yep, 0.2 starting rep

[pine drift]

thanks, the wording makes it sound like it's supposed to be 1.0 lol

[prime comet]

That would be pay to win as fuck

[sharp egret]

i need to go into the bunker on reserve im just not into the best of guns yet i need a little help

[brittle canyon]

just bring a shotgun

[bold kernel]

any lvl 1 traders that sell a rail mounted flashlight for rubles

not pistal

[brittle canyon]

pk

[slender lagoon]

I need someone to help me with early game like bad idk why but im struggling to get any quests done and im loosing all my kits DM me if u wanna help

[slender lagoon]

skier sells a 25mm ring mount for a flashlight at ll1

[native crow]

How do I approach the concept of getting good

[mint light]

shift w

[tepid knot]

watch people play the game who are better to get an idea of what their gameplay looks like

[open hedge]

time

i got good by forcing myself to pvp too much

im pretty decent now

although streamers may help

ive never watched a single minute of a streamer

[deep edge]

this is the big one

[waxen bison]

I need help

I am doing the mp build for gunsmith part 1, and whenever I put on the pistol grip or the rail pump thing, my shotgun that says that it is for the quest no longer works for the quest

[proper fable]

it doesnt need t be found it raid if thats what u mean

[hollow minnow]

post screenshot

[waxen bison]

well the checkmark goes away and I cant turn it in

[open hedge]

this is what you need

[waxen bison]

that's what I have

[open hedge]

i literally cant do tasks in peace

[open hedge]

it needs to be above 60% durability

[mint light]

reeser do u wanna play

[open hedge]

maybe

[proper fable]

anyone have tarcone directors key for delivery fromn the past and farming pt 3

[mint light]

was that a raider

[open hedge]

pmc with flechette

[mint light]

and did u see him cross at the beginning or are u chronically blind

[hollow minnow]

raiders spawn with flechette?

[open hedge]

i wanted to kill the scav first as that was the bigger threat at the moment

[hollow minnow]

thought they had rip, ap, or 7mm

[mint light]

he said pmc doe

[hollow minnow]

ah

yes

its is 3am, my b

[waxen bison]

this is what I mean

[mint light]

durability

[open hedge]

as i said before has to be above 60%

[waxen bison]

so the bar has to be above 60% full?

[mint light]

yes

[waxen bison]

or it has to be above 60% of x/54

[open hedge]

60% of 100

[waxen bison]

bought a new one and it works, thank you

[native crow]

any specific map reccomendations to pvp on? I feel like customs is good but the people who play it are super sweaty, and it's hard to compete with them. Same with Interchange.

[open hedge]

meta reserve loadout for questing

[open hedge]

all decent pvp is on customs reserve and certain areas on woods

factory has a lot of pvp but its all very surface level no gear fights so you dont really learn

[native crow]

yh factory is kinda just get a shotgun and sit in a corner

[mint light]

pull up

[open hedge]

?

[mint light]

pull up to tarkov

we going ham

[open hedge]

im at 200k so i cant run anything impressive unless i find it

[mint light]

nah jit is poor\

[left island]

i accidently turned in the folder from woods to therapist and not skier but does it matter all that much?

[open hedge]

spent 150k on 114

[mint light]

mane

[mint light]

not rly

[open hedge]

just got mowed down on reserve again

i voiped to him he just turns and full autos me to death

very skilled

[mint light]

would u top drake off for 100 bucks

[open hedge]

what

[mint light]

would u top homie off

[woeful spruce]

finally some real beginner questions that require asistance

100 buck is 100 bucks

you gotta do what you gotta do

[open hedge]

time for hatchet runs

[native crow]

run lighthouse as scav or something man

[open hedge]

no

[sharp egret]

yes

its so good

run teh little town by path to shoreline

[native crow]

I get like 200-300k/run if I get a decent spawn

[open hedge]

i will not go lighthouse other than for the vudu unlock

other than that im not going for any reason

[sharp egret]

i just got a 1 mill as a scav

😦

bit coin and a tank battery

oof

does any1 know how much weapon repair kits go for

[woeful spruce]

i doubt that any more than trader price

fixing guns is super cheap

[sharp egret]

yea

i dunno i just found it

[open hedge]

spawned inside bunker than raiders were literally sitting the the bunker part 1 room

im so tired of this game

[woeful spruce]

pog, thats the best spawn for them imo

[sharp egret]

i was down to 700 roubles today

[woeful spruce]

but i guess you wiffed it

[sharp egret]

i was boutta throw my pc

[open hedge]

not pog when your a fucking hatchling

[woeful spruce]

there are so many good hatchet running maps, reserve is not one of them

[open hedge]

im trying to do quests

[native crow]

ahh bruh 🗿

[open hedge]

all i do i get mowed down by a UMP or shotgun

[woeful spruce]

doing quests with a hatchet seems like a suboptimal idea

[sharp egret]

ill just rouble then get guns to quest

[open hedge]

ive lost like 500 kits to reserve already

[sharp egret]

then go somewhjere els

[open hedge]

no

[sharp egret]

lol

[brittle canyon]

free on the mobile app

[open hedge]

quests need to be done

[native crow]

ty

time to become a reserve main

[warm slate]

im trying to reinstall tarkov but i keep getting that

does anyone know how to fix it

[buoyant crane]

ppl who are given a chance to not do that, then betray you... i dont understand them

like if you are in a position to see someone and VOIP to them before they knew you were there

why do they hear you, they have to realize you spared them to VOIP, then kill you

[woeful spruce]

boy do i have news for you about the nature of humans

a lot of people are just indifrent or assholes

gratitude or humbleness are not in any way universal emotions

[brittle canyon]

what’s wrong with shooting people in a game about shooting people

[buoyant crane]

because you were already dead

you were spared by someone who could have (and in hindsight should have)

yeah being a dick is obviously an option, doesn't mean you won't get called a dick for being one lmao

up to you personally how you feel about it

[open hedge]

i personally have never killed a friendly player unless they let me

i cannot say the same for my teammates

[buoyant crane]

its not even about killing a "friendly"

[open hedge]

my one teammate (who is very selfish even to his own team) kills every friendly but never outright he gains their trust then shoots them in the back of the head

[buoyant crane]

its more so that in this situation, the guy who is being VOIP'd at was dead if the VOIP-er wanted

he was spared, then he immediately makes the decision to fire

[verbal wind]

if you're USEC, do you need to keep USEC dog tags for the collect 7 dog tags quest or would they be BEAR ones?

says usec on the wiki

[buoyant crane]

I mean its definitely a possibility one has to expect but pretty lame to ALWAYS do it

tells me he cares more about the pixel items than any experience with another human

it definitely can't be fun to do that every single time

[bold kernel]

fuck is this mission?

[open hedge]

a normal daily?

[bold kernel]

14?! in a damn day? IN SHORELINE?! +0.01?!!!!!

[open hedge]

that easy though

[mint light]

very doable

[cursive elm]

anyone wanna run some missions?

[bold kernel]

so i... ignore all other tasks and start hunting scavs all day?

[open hedge]

daily tasks are temporary might as well do them

easy xp and never needs keys

[bold kernel]

ye, im having hard time with those... finished 3 tasks for each trader already, and having hard time with dailys

[buoyant crane]

all day? I can legit do that in max 2 raids

I think you're exaggerating the time it takes lol

[bold kernel]

been running shoreline all day today before task came up. in all raid, managed to see only 4 scavs....

[buoyant crane]

where are you checking

[bold kernel]

town next to tunnel and central building

[buoyant crane]

that it?

[open hedge]

ive done every daily task so far other than days where i cant play for more than like 2 raids

[brittle canyon]

he should have shot me, yes
not my fault for punishing him for his mistake of not shooting a clear and present threat

[buoyant crane]

I got one for 9 PMC kills on woods... probably not getting that done

[mint light]

what happened

[brittle canyon]

come to asia no one voips

[buoyant crane]

very lacking in empathy

[brittle canyon]

real men dueling to death

[open hedge]

40m 1 tap

[mint light]

was it a person

[open hedge]

yes

[mint light]

ur cheating

esp

report reeses

[buoyant crane]

also lacking in... whats the word...

[brittle canyon]

wind blows, rain falls, the strong prey upon the weak

[buoyant crane]

you lost the fight from the start but he spared you

[mellow flax]

man I am having a pretty rough wipe so far, been catching Ls all around.

[buoyant crane]

idk what to call it

[brittle canyon]

(magnetically detaches self)

[buoyant crane]

you are the weak though

you lost the fight

[brittle canyon]

it’s a meme you dip

[buoyant crane]

ye just saying

[brittle canyon]

besides I lived so no u

[buoyant crane]

you did

you lost the initial "fight" because he could have just 1 tapped you

obviously you then killed him

[brittle canyon]

but I didn’t

so

[buoyant crane]

just saying you did lose the initial fight

[open hedge]

i hate living

[brittle canyon]

yeah but bottom line I’m alive and he’s not

[bold kernel]

i have a task to find one shot rifle in raid that is 80+ durability. wish i had your task instead,,,

[buoyant crane]

yeah but thats lame af

[mellow flax]

I am in a very similar boat lmao

[buoyant crane]

you keep being lame tho if thats what makes you happy

[brittle canyon]

who cares I stole your shit

me glad

[buoyant crane]

pixel items won't bring you happiness

[brittle canyon]

(sweeps fingers at general vicinity)

[buoyant crane]

im trying to figure out where I got all these 100 dura guns

[pearl pier]

what does the green outline mean

[buoyant crane]

healthy

(I don't know either)

[versed valley]

never had it happen, weird

[severe bison]

how do i unload a chamber and catch the bullet

[viscid kraken]

what suppressors go into m1a muzzle?

[viscid kraken]

ctrl+r, in order to catch the bullet mag has to be out

[severe bison]

it just unloads the chamber

[buoyant crane]

only on certain guns

also think you might need weapon skills

either way only on certain guns
