[summer gust]

I usually insure my armour helm and headphones cuz it’s cheaper than buying them 3 again

[pallid kernel]

sure

also, is mp 155 any good?

i have 7mm buckshot and slugs for it

[maiden karma]

can I ask whats a good map for new players I only just hit level 3 and got no idea what I am doing

[summer gust]

I don’t insure it though if it has low durability though

I found devastator rounds is it as good as it’s name

[pallid kernel]

what is a devastator round

[summer gust]

Idk it’s a orange looking slug shotgun round

[frigid geyser]

Customs/woods are generally the safest/easiest

[pallid kernel]

i assume its expensive

[summer gust]

Just don’t go factory

[maiden karma]

thank you

[frigid geyser]

Lighthouse if you want to learn via trial by fire

[summer gust]

Haha map landmark go boom

[frigid geyser]

Yeah lighthouse is stupidly easy to learn

[crystal oracle]

Customs or woods

[pallid kernel]

before i go into a raid, should i take 7mm buckshot or lead slugs?

[frigid geyser]

Just not easy to not get sniped from 400m away by chad chadderson and his sniper

[frigid geyser]

If your aim is anything less than pristine, id say buckshot

[summer gust]

Probably depending on if the map has tight spaces or open spaces

[pallid kernel]

so buckshot it is

[frigid geyser]

Pickup some 8.5mm buckshot ASAP if you want to shotgun

[pallid kernel]

oh and one more thing, does face cover and eyewear matter in any significant way?

[frigid geyser]

Also highly reccomend the double barrel. Everyone memed on me last wipe for it, but im telling you, shit is way too slept on

Murdered so many poor lil tims with it

[pallid kernel]

im only using what i have

for now at least

i still have a mosin and a few ak 74s

[frigid geyser]

More power to you, i just reccomend it because stock its only like 7-8k roubles and needs 0 mods to function

Great budget choice

[pallid kernel]

yea im lvl 2 and started yesterday

[urban pagoda]

Does measuring tape spawn on a specific map or can it be in any toolbox?

[summer gust]

Any

[frigid geyser]

It can be in tons of places

[lone hinge]

i cant select no presets

[urban pagoda]

It’s funny I have found two gpus but I can’t find bolts or measuring tape

[magic aspen]

anyone wanna help out a new guy and show me some things? nothing in particular just want to learn

[summer gust]

Did you save a preset yet

[lone hinge]

yea a few

[frigid geyser]

Seen a few people saying that their presets are borked after this patch

No idea to what degree, havent checked myself

[timber remnant]

when does the train arrive on lighthouse?

[summer gust]

Tarkov 💀

[crystal oracle]

Like 60% into the raid

Pretty sure

[timber remnant]

so about 17 18 mins then?

[crystal oracle]

Prob

[timber remnant]

tyty

[cerulean dust]

any tips for getting checking done solo before flea

i either get the key and die omw or its not there when i get to dorms xD still pretty new

[crystal oracle]

Put the key in your pouch

So it saves when you die

[frigid geyser]

Dorms is usually a shitshow, especially early in the raid. Get the key and safe box it, then try to make runs to the tanker

[urban pagoda]

I’m on checking and I’m scared to even go into dorms lol

[frigid geyser]

Not a horroble idea to sit and vibe out somewhere for 15-20 mins so pmcs thin out

[urban pagoda]

Went in offline and it was terrifying

[crystal oracle]

Godsdamn

[ivory lava]

found everything off a dead guy

lol

except the helmet and some other stuf

[pallid kernel]

well i lasted about 3min, god this game is harsh

[frigid geyser]

Thats the best, finding the random juiced pmc who died to a lucky scav shot lol

[summer gust]

How suppressive are suppressor

[ivory lava]

very

[dawn marsh]

can anyone help me with tarcones office

[bold kernel]

@crystal oracle i am going for the watch again. I have the key in my container

[frigid geyser]

Depends on suppressor, but generally, quite effective

[summer gust]

They seem irl realistic and are still pretty fookin loud

[bold kernel]

same loadout

[summer gust]

Or is it just me

[crystal oracle]

I would say the best supressor is Hexagon

[crystal oracle]

GL!

[lone hinge]

yea i restarted my game still the same this morning worked fine

[bold kernel]

thx

will i be able to sell the watch later?

[crystal oracle]

No

Its a quest item

You hand it over

[bold kernel]

oh

[timber remnant]

how long does it stay tho? is it the same as reserve? @crystal oracle

[bold kernel]

it has 40 uses though

[bold kernel]

oh

[crystal oracle]

Same as reserve

[frigid geyser]

The key has 40 uses, the watch is an item

Make sure you dont go into another raid before handing over the item

[crystal oracle]

^^

Delivery from the past is a pain of a quest tho

[frigid geyser]

Because if you die before turning it in or putting it in quest item inventory, you have to go get it all over again

[pallid kernel]

what is the main goal in tarkov, quests, hideout, something else?

[crystal oracle]

You have to grab something 1 raid and then take it and place it in another

[crystal oracle]

Learning the game

[pallid kernel]

well i mean an ingame goal

[crystal oracle]

Then after that going for kappa or just levels

[frigid geyser]

Make hideout go brr, get better, enjoy the experience

[crystal oracle]

Or whatever goal you want

[timber remnant]

i mean people usually go for max traders first, then they max their hideouts and go for kappa/levels

[crystal oracle]

Like kill all bosses

[pallid kernel]

alright

ive been looking forward to playing this game for about 2 years so ive been mentally preparing myself for constat death

and so far its....enjoyable

[lone hinge]

my goal its escaping tarkov 😎

[obsidian folio]

anyone available to sherpa?

[valid trout]

Yup for me

[frigid geyser]

Enjoy the early learning part, because tbh once you have it all figured out, a bit of the magic fades

[ivory lava]

the ak545 i found has 69 ergo

[valid trout]

Missing three bosses, shtrumun, gluhar, and sanitar

[bold kernel]

does the 1911 do no damage? does it scratch the enemy?

[valid trout]

It’s ass

[frigid geyser]

Best time on tarkov is celebrating your fat 300k ruble loot after 10 failed runs lol

[bold kernel]

i unloaded 2 magazines on a scav and it did nothing

[bold kernel]

wdym

why

it should be good

[frigid geyser]

Not being chad chadderson on the 20th good run of the day

[valid trout]

It’s inaccurate

[bold kernel]

fuck me then

[ruby adder]

It's quite a simple end game, get 720 Quickscoped by that one random cracked scav

[bold kernel]

cause i used it and died immediately

[valid trout]

I rather use the m9a3

[summer gust]

Excape from tarkov by just leaving ✋
Build a hideout and live in tarkov 👉

[frigid geyser]

^

[bold kernel]

what's that? i only have a Beretta and a Makarov

[valid trout]

That’s the Barrera

Beretta

[bold kernel]

oh

[valid trout]

Beretta is ass

[bold kernel]

oh lol, ok then

[bold kernel]

not that one too!

that's the one i have, the Beretta

[summer gust]

Is that the pistol?

[bold kernel]

yes

[valid trout]

The Grach is much better

[bold kernel]

what's that?

[ivory lava]

why does this have 0 ergo

[gritty mesa]

cuz i want it

[summer gust]

Ah, so that why my friend unloaded like 2.5 mags into a guy who had no ammo and was running away still didn’t die

[gritty mesa]

tell me the buid

i need that gun

[ivory lava]

got it off some guy

[gritty mesa]

hmm nice

[crystal oracle]

THIS IS THE 3RD FUCKING TIME

I DIE TO A PMC ON A SCAV

[summer gust]

What does the striped red bar in the ergo mean?

[crystal oracle]

FFS

[valid trout]

A pistol

[ivory lava]

flechette ammo

[crystal oracle]

Im acc so done with tarkov ffs

[bold kernel]

where do i get it? I just need to put the key in the truck and get the watch. I only need a pistol for that

[crystal oracle]

3/3 times ive come across a PMC on a scav

[valid trout]

Scav

[crystal oracle]

what the actual fuck is my luck

[valid trout]

You can find it on scavs

[gritty mesa]

then die to a scav earlier

[pallid kernel]

why does prapor give me random stuff?

[crystal oracle]

Not that easy g

[bold kernel]

This? @valid trout

[valid trout]

No

[bold kernel]

i am using an 1911 again

[crystal oracle]

Mechanic sells it

Oh

[valid trout]

Don’t

[crystal oracle]

No he dont

[valid trout]

It’s so bad

[crystal oracle]

Prapor does

[bold kernel]

I could buy this

[summer gust]

If it makes you feel any better, I haven’t run into a pcm once as a scav in like 2 days or maybe I did but they were friendly

[gritty mesa]

then dont

[valid trout]

Decent pistol

[summer gust]

Lul

[bold kernel]

:(

The duality of man

What is it then

buy or not?

[gritty mesa]

no buy

[crystal oracle]

Go onto prapor

[bold kernel]

After all, i just need a pistol

[crystal oracle]

Theres a bartyer for it

But you probably cant get it

Oh wait

[gritty mesa]

ok then buy a gloc 18 from flea to to brrr

[crystal oracle]

He dont have flea

[bold kernel]

I don't have flea

[crystal oracle]

Thats the gun

[bold kernel]

lol

[gritty mesa]

saem

[bold kernel]

:(

sad

[pallid kernel]

should I take an AK 74M to a raid knowing full well ill die with it?

[bold kernel]

yes

that's what i do

[cerulean dust]

started w 3 of them pistols love them

[whole thistle]

very cheap gun

[bold kernel]

buy?

[pallid kernel]

what happens when i run out of guns

[bold kernel]

it's my only intel

[whole thistle]

scav run to get more

[bold kernel]

a random scav gave it to me

[whole thistle]

or buy more

you can buy guns from traders

[crystal oracle]

Dont buy it I say

[pallid kernel]

if i were to lose all my guns, which gun should i buy

[crystal oracle]

M9A3 is a good pistol

[whole thistle]

sks is a nice rifle early on

[cerulean dust]

wiped factory with the aks from prapor1 with just a grip felt good

[bold kernel]

oh, i didn't read that. Ok i am using the Beretta then

I just have to buy rounds for it

[crystal oracle]

Yeah

[pallid kernel]

alright

[valid trout]

No it’s not, intel is don’t great

[valid trout]

Worth

That’s not worth much the cpu

[crystal oracle]

Need it for quest tho

[valid trout]

Yea but they’re common

[pallid kernel]

Should i run 5.45x39mm BP or PS ammo?

[valid trout]

Ps for now

Bp when decent kit

[pallid kernel]

ok

how do i see which mags have which ammo?

[valid trout]

Unload t

Right click press unload

[pallid kernel]

so no way without unloading?

[livid anvil]

How to get scav rep up

[pallid kernel]

damn

[whole thistle]

you can check in game by pressing alt t

[valid trout]

You can if you memorize what the bullet looks like

[livid anvil]

I killed a scav with a big back pack then one with a streamer mask and I’d say it was worth it but I want good scav rep

[valid trout]

Extract as a scav

[bold kernel]

why doesnt it cover the forehead as well

[valid trout]

Car extracts

[valid trout]

Pmc/scav co op extract

Kill bad scavs

Do fence tasks

Help the boss

[livid anvil]

Wdym

[valid trout]

Kill pmc:bad scav trying to kill the boss

[lone hinge]

It protects but it has no angle and it has low pen

[pallid kernel]

should i bother bringing grenades?

[valid trout]

1-2

[livid anvil]

Sometimes they’re helpful

[summer gust]

Using grenade hot key how does it decide which one it uses

[pallid kernel]

is buying face cover and eyewear necessary?

[pallid kernel]

i think it depends where it is in your rig

[summer gust]

Also can I pull out a grenade but not the pin?

[bold kernel]

i wish u could cook grenades

[ivory lava]

is the vss any good

[summer gust]

Yeah, looks like all my further questions r answered

[pallid kernel]

you can hold a nade if you assign it to your hotbar

but not cook it

that way you can also decide if you want to throw it far or close

with left or right click

[dense pagoda]

what is this used for?

[whole thistle]

yeah just press g

[whole thistle]

double click it and read the effects

[edgy elbow]

why does the b-11 not want to go on the ak 74u?

[whole thistle]

did you take the old handguard off

[edgy elbow]

yep

stripped the whole gun

[whole thistle]

put the gas tube on

it needs the gas tube

[edgy elbow]

worked thanks

[pallid kernel]

what can i do to improve my raids?

[bold kernel]

my friend crashes everytime he tries to load in lighthouse

but all other maps work perfectly

[rancid nova]

'lol name

[ivory lava]

same

[molten marten]

whats been going wrong?

[gloomy sphinx]

so i'm missing Courtesy Visit and Hermint quests from Jaeger even though i've completed prerequisite quests... friend got this and i'm ahead of him questwise :/ any ideas? or is it bug?

[rigid light]

where can i get some fuel

gas analyzer will take literally 10 days without power

[gloomy sphinx]

interchange is spawning it most i guess

each shelf in warehouse can spawn it

[tacit ferry]

rate kit

[valid trout]

good key?

[bold kernel]

If you find a level 6 armor, do you run that bad boy or sell for 200k?

[valid trout]

run it

on chonky riad

[bold kernel]

what do you mean by chonky raid?

I found one, but i only have level 3 helmets, so i stashed it for the future

called the Zhuk ( if i remember correctly)

[royal jetty]

anyone fancy running some games? completely new to this just bought it this wipe and would appreciate any help what so ever to get some quests done and level up / learn maps and things

[valid trout]

level 5 helmet or exfil or fast mt tan, kitted gun with good ammo

[valid trout]

if you have standard edition i would sell it, and if youre new

[bold kernel]

I have EoD, but this is my second wipe.

[slow radish]

what quests should i stick to after i got jaeger?

[valid trout]

keep it

[bold kernel]

i die a lot do head eyes, my lvl 4-5 armors seem to be chunky. I tanked a guys mag dump on the chest while I ADS'd his eyes

armor is a lot stronger than i gave it credit for

[bold kernel]

I will then, thanks!

[lofty hull]

I can't take bags off people, or even loot them without them being on the ground.

Does anyone have a fix?

[fervent turret]

restart and verify integrity of game files + clear cache?

[lofty hull]

already restarted

don't want to clear all of my loot

[lofty hull]

also i can loot them while in my stash

okay, how do i verify integrity?

[valid trout]

clear cashe does not clear all opf yopur loot

lol

[fervent turret]

eft game launcher settings

should be two options for verify integrity and clear cache

cache is like temp memory used for the game, I guess

[lofty hull]

verifying

[faint elm]

is it better to go solo or team up? i try and team up but most people drop me from the group and i just end up solo

[valid trout]

team up, go in #pvp-lfg

[violet furnace]

@bold kernel don't have gear fear, if u lose your shit then go get more of it, it will wipe at some point, but don't go to6 armor and bad helmet and bad gun

[lofty hull]

it would be better to have T4 armor, T3 helmet, and a PP-19 instead of running a bear cap, T6 armor, and a fucking makarov.

[bold kernel]

I have been slowly getting over gear fear

i started running AK with an expensive sight every raid now and nice mods.

what's a good pve mostly map to learn to farm scavs or rogues where i won't run into a lot of pvp? I was looking at lighthouse, but i dont know much about the map

[violet furnace]

Didn't I say that?

[lofty hull]

Woods if you avoid sawmil and military camp.

as well as scav village

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

[young scaffold]

why can't i turn it in?

[lofty hull]

it says above 45

not at 45

for ergo

[young scaffold]

damn

thanks

[lofty hull]

also sighting range more than 200

[bold kernel]

I've been running woods, but i can't get near the middle boss without being contested by random snipers.

[young scaffold]

how to make more than 200 ;-;

[lofty hull]

could be scav sniper

[lone hinge]

its worth fixing?

[final plume]

anyone have rb-ksm wanna help a brother out???

[lofty hull]

the crosshair is scav sniper, the skulls are shturman spawnpoints. (boss)

also scavs spawn there

[bold kernel]

i know, i mean pmcs hiding in bushes like wookies.

i know woods, i was just looking for a more engaging pve experience without being worried about random tree huggers

[lofty hull]

then don't go to sawmill

it's the hotspot for woods

[fervent turret]

always peeps going to be looking for shooterborn kills

and shturman fights

[bold kernel]

i mean, its the only fun spot there. the map is so bad for pvp lol

[pearl copper]

have't play this game since 2018/2019, is there a meta for progression at the start? or do I just spam interchange?

[zinc canopy]

People usually just rush quest at the start of wipe.

[bold kernel]

run that 7.62 ammo, it got buffed

OP SKS or VEPR 136 can run it

[vagrant barn]

so i feel like im really stacked with armour and guns and have a decent amount of money (2.5m) but i feel like im nowhere progression wise

like im lvl 12 with 2 slicks and a hexgrid xd

[buoyant crane]

sounds like you haven't been doing tasks

perhaps not upgrading hideout

[hollow vault]

where are the quests/tasks located?

[ruby adder]

Get tasking, LL4 traders are a godsent

[vagrant barn]

ur right, but im kind of scared going to customs (which most of my quests are) bc all of the geared players that are in there 24/7

[buoyant crane]

customs isnt that geared

[spare basin]

I just started am is wondering how to know where extracts are

[buoyant crane]

unless you go at night or some shit

[buoyant crane]

online maps

[vagrant barn]

i need to go to dorms tho, and when i get there there is somehow a guy ready to throw a flash and spray me

[buoyant crane]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

[buoyant crane]

all you do is rush it if you get a good spawn or wait 10 minutes if you dont

[spare basin]

whats a good map to start on?

[buoyant crane]

do the tasks

thats it, do the tasks

also consult the wiki for what you need to do on each task

[ruby adder]

Customs is hit and miss, you can be contested in task spots but you may not. Don't be scared to lose gear

[spare basin]

ok

[buoyant crane]

the game does as good job taking you around the maps with task progression

[spare basin]

and is usec or bear better?

[vagrant barn]

should i just go in with an sks with some basic armour or smth and hope for the best?

[buoyant crane]

very little difference

veryyyy little

[ruby adder]

Go in with what you are comfortable hitting targets with

[buoyant crane]

pick whether you want to have russian voicelines or english voicelines

[buoyant crane]

brother/sister didnt you say you have kit

[ruby adder]

Tier 2/3 armour wont do you much good, but there is also no point going tier 4 with a trash weapon that you can't hit a stationary target

[vagrant barn]

i do but like

its a slick/hex

[candid jacinth]

the punisher part 4 killing the pmc s its just impossible on shoreline there are ton shit of cheaters

help

[buoyant crane]

so wear it

[spare basin]

is sks a good starting weapon?

[buoyant crane]

zero point keeping gear in stash

[buoyant crane]

yes among many

[ruby adder]

Keep enough gear in the stash so you have a kit to run & 2/3 kits spare imho

[spare basin]

wow there cheap

[ruby adder]

so you're not rebuying on every death

[vagrant barn]

...

[spare basin]

so how many sks should I buy

[vagrant barn]

i have 7 rigs/body armour

[buoyant crane]

as you use them lol?

[buoyant crane]

yes because you have pointless gear fear

wear them

or sell them

[vagrant barn]

ok, ill just use an ak and a strandhogg or smth

[crystal oracle]

Use the VPO from jaeger

Very good for low levels

Put the AK-100 hand guard on, with a MRS and RK-1 grip

[valid trout]

omfg its turboclicker

[vagrant barn]

im using an ak-104 so i feel like i should be fine

one more thing, should i buy a second scav junkbox bc my other one is full.

[bold kernel]

Just for a watch

At least I got it

[weak flax]

should i sell dogtags right away or nah

[icy fable]

keep lvl7/8+ for barters and quests, the rest is worthless, as said barters or quests will have a minimum level requirement

[weak flax]

okay

[bold kernel]

I finished the quest, should I sell this? @crystal oracle

[fathom ocean]

yes

[bold kernel]

ok

I don't have flea though

[fathom ocean]

doesnt matter

[bold kernel]

ok

Therapist

[fathom ocean]

it wouldnt be able to get sold anymore

[spare basin]

you can sell to traders I think

[fathom ocean]

yeah

[ruby adder]

?

[near furnace]

Friend from the west isn’t far away so keep the high level ones

[lucid goblet]

Yeah buy another one send it

[crystal oracle]

Keep it

[near furnace]

Having two is worth actually

[crystal oracle]

UGH

Don’t get me started on that

So annoying

[near furnace]

It’s fr not even bad

[crystal oracle]

I didn’t get it done until like 3 weeks before wipe 💀

Cos I didn’t play for like 5 months

[bold kernel]

do what with it?

[near furnace]

Sell that shit to therapist lol

[fathom ocean]

why would you keep it?

[near furnace]

You don’t need the machinery key after that I don’t think

[fathom ocean]

at all

[crystal oracle]

Actually sell it

I thought it might be needed again

[fathom ocean]

theres a 100 percent spawn location on customs too

[fathom ocean]

not at all lmfao

[near furnace]

Nope

One time key that you will never need again

[crystal oracle]

Fair

[near furnace]

Nope

You just got unlucky

[crystal oracle]

Nope

[scenic saddle]

any ideas on how i can get game to load into lighthouse itll get to loading loot pool then just freeze up and eventually dc

[crystal oracle]

Graphics settings

[near furnace]

Do you have an AMD

[crystal oracle]

Turn them down

If you have AMD turn on FSR

[tranquil galleon]

[near furnace]

Which one is that again

[tranquil galleon]

idk where it is and ive tried reading the map but i still dont get it

[crystal oracle]

Which one is that

[tranquil galleon]

[crystal oracle]

Oh

[near furnace]

Uh

The directors office?

[tranquil galleon]

[crystal oracle]

Na

That’s delivery for the past

What key is it

[near furnace]

I have no clue which one that is I forgot

[tranquil galleon]

unknown key

[crystal oracle]

Ohhhh

[near furnace]

Marked room???

[crystal oracle]

[crystal oracle]

You have better stuff than me gg

She’s

[tranquil galleon]

[crystal oracle]

Shed

[tranquil galleon]

[near furnace]

It’s the shed next to the crane I believe

[scenic saddle]

16gb of ram at 3200

[crystal oracle]

Yes

[tranquil galleon]

reinstall ig

ok

wish me luck guys

[near furnace]

I hated spawning there in chemical cause mfs always rush me from boiler and fucking ruaf

I get sandwiched immediately

[scenic saddle]

it so confusing i have no problems on anyother map except lighthouse its fucked

[near furnace]

Tarkov is also cpu based so

Could be issues with that

[crystal oracle]

^^

My cpu temp goes to like 95-100

💀

[near furnace]

Same

[crystal oracle]

Wait fr?

Thats bad yknow

[near furnace]

Oh I know

I just don’t know how to minimize it

At this point I just need a new pc

[crystal oracle]

Get a better cooler

[near furnace]

But I’m broke so

I don’t even have water cooling

I have fans

[crystal oracle]

I have a Ryzen 7 3700x with a stock AMD cooler 💀

Im getting a brand new pc soon and it has water cooling

[scenic saddle]

the stock coolers are actually good tho

[crystal oracle]

Na

AMD stock one isnt

[near furnace]

Absolutely not

[crystal oracle]

Not for high end CPUs

[near furnace]

I have an aurora r8 prebuilt btw

Cause my parents didn’t let me pick the pc for my bday

They just went to Best Buy and bought expensive overpriced pc

[crystal oracle]

Aha

[near furnace]

I should probably clean it out

As well, might help

[crystal oracle]

My new pc is gonna have a I7-11700K with RTX 3060 TI

:p

[tranquil galleon]

uh can someone help me go to the shed i still dont know how to get to it lol

[near furnace]

Where are u rn

Or did u die

[tranquil galleon]

i died

[crystal oracle]

You eu?

[near furnace]

Ok well first thing I would do

[tranquil galleon]

na

[near furnace]

Run offline mode

And learn customs

[crystal oracle]

Rip

[near furnace]

Turn scavs off

Make landmarks for yourself while running to the quest location

[tranquil galleon]

ok got it

[near furnace]

The best thing to do is just learn the map in offline mode and get comfortable with where you’re going

I’ve been doing it on reserve cause I honestly don’t know the bunker at all and some of the buildings and where loot is

[crystal oracle]

^^

[near furnace]

I need to do it for lighthouse and shoreline as well

[tranquil galleon]

ight bet

[crystal oracle]

Time to go into offline and find the rogue bosses :D

[near furnace]

I don’t even have scavs on

Shit is annoying

I’ve been running factory working on pvp

That reminds me I need to do post man pat

Fml

[rotund berry]

I have all of the parts for part 3 gunsmith but i cant figure out what im doing wrong, can someone help or tell me if im missing something

[rare niche]

Hey I found this is this good https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Remington_R11_RSASS_7.62x51_marksman_rifle

[ruby adder]

IMHO, yes

[weak flax]

how does one get rep up with fence?

[near furnace]

Go to the modding screen

Makes it a lot easier

[rare niche]

Scav runs

[crystal oracle]

YOUR SO LUCKY

OMFG

[near furnace]

Scav runs, his tasks after you unlock level 1 intelligence center in the hideout, car extracts, and scav/pmc coop extracts

[crystal oracle]

Where did you find it

[rare niche]

Factory

[near furnace]

HUH

[crystal oracle]

BRUH WHERE

[rare niche]

I died with it though

[near furnace]

Weapon case?

[crystal oracle]

NOOOOOO

THATS SO RARE

[rare niche]

Si

[crystal oracle]

And its for gunsmith part 10

[rare niche]

Really

I also found a hard drive

[near furnace]

Everyone hates skier bro lmao

[crystal oracle]

YHes

One of the rarest guns to find

I think

[crystal oracle]

Ye cos hes so shit

His wares are horrible

[near furnace]

His tasks are so cancer

Golden swag

[crystal oracle]

Except for a couple of things

[rotund berry]

thank you @near furnace

[near furnace]

Yessir

[edgy elbow]

TGL ASR key good?

[bold kernel]

is it hard to reach lvl 15 or am i just really bad?

[urban pagoda]

I’m gonna say it’s hard 👀 but I’m probably bad

[rare niche]

Ok found a guitar pick and a car battery

[crystal oracle]

Its not that hard

When doing coop mode can you make the bosses spoawn 100% of the time

Because we spawned in and they didnt spawn

[thorn pulsar]

Can any sherpa please I dont need the stuff I have 12 hours

[rare niche]

I got my ass kicked in by sledgehammer man

[paper gull]

So why 2 names? whats the yellow in the brackets meant to be?

[crystal oracle]

Player scav

Yellow name in bracket is their username

[paper gull]

aha, well what a shame

[bold kernel]

Cabinets for the key?

and also, do i take a Remi 700 for the "kill 15 scavs" quest?

[crystal oracle]

Huh

[bold kernel]

the office key

on customs

and also, is this weapon good for the scav quest?

the "kill 15 scavs on woods" quest

[surreal locust]

I mean sure it's good, but I'd probably go for something cheaper if you're new

[meager chasm]

I've never killed Glukhar, any sherpas out there that can teach me the way?

[bold kernel]

I didn't buy it, I already have it

it's my only sniper

I wanna go to that camp in woods in the bottom right

it's fool of meds and stuff like that

and just snipe them

[bold kernel]

the medical tent?

I guess a Mosin is good too?

[bold kernel]

Military Camp

that spot is highly contested. If you're running solo, you should have a silencer

[surreal locust]

Mosin is always a good choice in my opinion

[bold kernel]

I don't have that

[bold kernel]

Ok i am going to buy one

Where should I go to kill scavs then?

and be safe

[still solar]

I need nuts and bolts so bad I cant ever find them

[bold kernel]

I needed them for like 2 days and could barely find any. Now that I got workbench down I only find those

[still solar]

I am to afraid to do pmc

[bold kernel]

spark plugs spawn in toolboxes right? cause i haven't found any

[bold kernel]

you have too

Anyway, someone tell me what's the best spot to kill scavs on woods pls?

and the best gun other than the Mosin

[errant crane]

sks

[surreal locust]

Scav house I guess is decent, I don't play on woods much alone

SKS and mosin are your best cheap bet yea

[still solar]

Ok time to die as pmc

[bold kernel]

how many scavs spawn there?

2-3?

[bold kernel]

Good luck

[surreal locust]

Last I went there, about that much yea

Also the radio tower I think it's called

[bold kernel]

ok

[crystal oracle]

Bruh why arent the bosses spawning 100% on coop mode

[bold kernel]

I am hot garbage at this game but i try to kill scavs

[surreal locust]

Everyone is garbage when they begin

[bold kernel]

yeah that too, it was a blood bath last wipe when i went there (once)

[meager chasm]

Did you click "Enable bosses"? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but I've forgot that before.

[bold kernel]

yeah but this is my second wipe. First wipe i didn't really do much

[wet solar]

im running extremely good gear, but 9/10 my deaths are to head eyes. its really demotivating me and is making me want to go back to play with mosin and ddiaper rig. what do i do?

[crystal oracle]

When yopu ernable coop its auto enabled

[surreal locust]

It's my first wipe personally tbh

[bold kernel]

put a face mask on, for some reason it has reduced my chances of dying to a head shot. Also, stay behind cover most of the time

[wet solar]

they are all soudn whoring hiding in rat corners

[bold kernel]

it's hard tbh

[surreal locust]

I'm enjoying it

[bold kernel]

bring a shotgun and blast them

[bold kernel]

oh yeah me too. I am hooked

[meager chasm]

Oh, didn't realize that, haven't tried offline co-cop. In that case, disregard.

[bold kernel]

but it can be frustrating

[crystal oracle]

Also whos the guy that sits next to nikita in the streams?

[surreal locust]

I haven't found myself frustrated on tarkov yet

[open hedge]

me

[crystal oracle]

Whats his name

[open hedge]

reeses1556

[bold kernel]

@wet solar no joke, shotgun kills are so fun. If you need any toolboxes I have the right thing for you and can recommend a solid loadout

[bold kernel]

:(

these stats are so bad

This is why I some times get frustrated

[crystal oracle]

Ouch

[bold kernel]

but! This wipe I have been all alone trying to figure my play style

[bold kernel]

yeah

when I say I am garbage, I am not lying

I am improving every raid though

[crystal oracle]

My kd is like 1.8

[bold kernel]

hahahahaha omg 0.3

[wet solar]

guns not the problem. its the fact that i dont even have time to react. they insta head shot me within half a second of me noticing them

[rare niche]

Hey it could be worse

[bold kernel]

wow, i am trash

[bold kernel]

i guess

[wet solar]

im trying the lvl 4 full helmet with face shield, but i cant hear shit

literally deaf

[quasi raft]

does anyone have the portable bunkhouse key and be willing to run my friend through customs , we will go in as 3 man (we are new)

[wet solar]

and that might be worse when ti comes to rats

[bold kernel]

I had that exact problem. It has kinda stopped however for some reason

[surreal locust]

So far*

[bold kernel]

I have never done that, I just bring a robber mask, helmet and head phones

[rare niche]

You could be me

[bold kernel]

I don't, sry

[bold kernel]

you have worst stats?

[rare niche]

Yes

[bold kernel]

yeah lol

[bold kernel]

:/

sry

[rare niche]

Only by like 1 or 2 fails

[surreal locust]

Eh yall will be Chad droppers in a bit

[bold kernel]

What am I supposed to do here exactly?

[rare niche]

No I kick ass I just forgot to reload

[surreal locust]

Go to customs in dorms, find the place with water, probably step inside the water for a sec and it should be donie i think

[bold kernel]

...there is a place with water in dorms?

[rare niche]

I get like at least 1 kill per raid

[surreal locust]

I dunno I dont go there I probably did the quest at one point but forgot about it

[bold kernel]

I mean hey...my were like this last wipe

[bold kernel]

That's good, I get average to 0 kills per raid

[zinc canopy]

Room 206 it’s locked

[bold kernel]

How do I unlock it?

[zinc canopy]

You need the key

[bold kernel]

How do I get it?

and why is my rep with skier gonna drop?

Does he have beef with Therapist?

[zinc canopy]

You can find them in jackets or buy on flea

[wet solar]

what mask?

[bold kernel]

I don't have flea :(

[zinc canopy]

Or have someone who had the key open it for you

[zinc canopy]

Yea

[bold kernel]

lol

@wet solar the one in the picture

[pearl copper]

where's this in wood?

Im trying to navigate and find myself on map but still couldn't really find a landmark

[bold kernel]

In woods :)

[whole thistle]

not actually water its just a quest key about water barrels

[whole thistle]

sniper rock

youre in the hole

[zinc canopy]

Isn’t that an extract?

[bold kernel]

so i have to search for the key??

[pearl copper]

Using map genie rn, not familiar with this at all

[bold kernel]

how many fucking keys are there?

[whole thistle]

yea

[bold kernel]

gosh

fuck

[whole thistle]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Keys_%26_Intel#Customs

[bold kernel]

thx

[whole thistle]

and that's just customs btw

click the different maps

shoreline probably has more than customs lmao

[hollow vault]

how do you tell the difference between a scav and someone who is will kill you

[whole thistle]

clothes pretty much, just wait to see if they shoot you or not

if you try to examine someone they'll get suspicious and might kill you because they think you're gonna kill them

[hollow vault]

interesting, thank you

[still solar]

i got turned around and ran into scavs when I thought it was an evac point lol

[bold kernel]

anyone got rb-ksm need the door unlock for a quest

[edgy elbow]

why are scav snipers so accurate

dude 1 shot me

[bold kernel]

This game, gosh

with all the keys

[still solar]

Anyone want to run a pmc run with me so I don't get lost this time?

[bold kernel]

I would but it's really late

sry

[primal pawn]

What items do i need to keep

Just started game

Just got jaeger

[whole thistle]

[primal pawn]

Danke

[still solar]

Well that's a fun experience

someone invited me to a group and then killed me when we loaded in

[orchid dagger]

Hey, any clue whats wrong with this? Mechanic gun smith part 8? I followed the wiki

the ergs are 0.5 off, but im not sure why

[zinc canopy]

Charging handle

[orchid dagger]

Thanks.. that did it 🙂

I hate these quests

[buoyant crane]

they're not bad if you actually do them yourself rather than following wiki

following wiki to a point is why people hate them and mess them up

[zinc canopy]

Well only if people can’t follow the wikis instructions

[orchid dagger]

doing them myself would take hours

[buoyant crane]

nah

[buoyant crane]

sometimes guns bug anyway

in that case im not sure if it matters

[orchid dagger]

bro are you kidding

i clicked off the captcha once by accident

how long will this last?

[karmic basin]

do I need to have my generator running in order to use the 15% scav cooldown bonus I get from the intelligence center I just built?

[orchid dagger]

No

[bold kernel]

Rate the loadout

[karmic basin]

dope, thanks for the quick response

[orchid dagger]

nw

[dim flint]

No makarov and wearing gear yuck 0/10

[karmic basin]

take the helmet off, you dont need it

[bold kernel]

ha, thx for enlightening me

[bold kernel]

I think I do

You know, for all of the bullets coming my way

[karmic basin]

if you make it out of raid with it less than 30/30 I'll be blown away lol

[bold kernel]

ok, i am leaving it

[karmic basin]

Nah I'm just kidding

[bold kernel]

bruh

[karmic basin]

it WILL stop a pistol shot, that's the only time it's saved me

[bold kernel]

come on

[bold kernel]

so, should i take it?

[karmic basin]

YES lol

[clear flume]

better to have and not need

the penis helmet has saved me many times

[bold kernel]

ok

I am going to raid now

Woods

For scavs

[karmic basin]

good luck

[bold kernel]

thx

[echo geode]

where the fuck does the awl spawn? I can't find it anywhere

[proud garnet]

LFG lvl 10 doing customs scavs kills

[bold kernel]

Do I have enough ammo? @karmic basin

[bold kernel]

yeah I can't find it too, as well as spark plug

[karmic basin]

I would bring another mag if I were you, just in case you run into a a group of pmc

[zinc canopy]

I find them in back of goshan

[echo geode]

you can try your luck with spark plugs in toolboxes
i've got like, 3 in a raid one time when going interchange

[bold kernel]

I can't buy any other 30 round mags though

[echo geode]

I never thought they could spawn there, i'll give it a try thanks

[bold kernel]

I am always looking for toolboxes on interchange but i can never find any

[echo geode]

Oli, idea, texho and rasmussen are very good places to look for tech items

[zinc canopy]

You can never find them when you need to only when you don’t

[bold kernel]

I have a whole rout I follow for toolboxes, I usually get around 5-6 minimum, it's pretty good

[bold kernel]

I know right?

[zinc canopy]

Are you checking shelves too?

[bold kernel]

yeah

I am going to woods now

[zinc canopy]

Good luck

[bold kernel]

thx

WHY DOES MY NOSE GO THROUGH IT NOOOO

[modern niche]

I have a serious question, been playing a few hours now cant seem to get the extractions down. On factory the only one i can ever get to work is Gate 3, i have never had a different one work. I have started playing interchange just to find some food. Which sucks, and the only extraction to ever work is the hole in the wall. On interchange i was just a scav and tried to extract with power staion and it wouldnt work for me. Any help please?

[dire estuary]

idk

[crystal oracle]

Whats a good SR-25 Build? Can anyone link one to me?

[bold kernel]

Help something's wrong

my preset tab is like this

[severe tiger]

ur missreading the map

[bold kernel]

I can't find anything

[severe tiger]

ur missreading the map

[bold kernel]

Do you know where you can find each extract in each map?

[primal wharf]

Same

[left summit]

[bold kernel]

[bold kernel]

[primal wharf]

Looks like it, I'm restarting game to see if it fixes it. It's happening to friend as well

[twin cairn]

[crystal oracle]

You can but not needed

[severe tiger]

[severe tiger]

[crystal oracle]

[clear flume]

[severe tiger]

[twin cairn]

yup got it

[severe tiger]

and u can trade 1 of those for eclipse plate carrier

barter

[bold kernel]

Idk what to do

I don't think I did anything to cause this

Do you guys suggest AKM or Mutant at lvl 23 once you have level 3 Praper for US ammo?

[severe tiger]

us ammo is good?

[molten marten]

us is shit lol

use ps or bp

[jolly otter]

can someone pls show me their default loadout for healing items ?

[molten marten]

and mutant if you have the money but definitely dont use anything with us, has very little pen

[molten marten]

I use 2 ifaks, calok, and I keep a vaseline and alu splint in my pouch

also I have a beta pouch

[stoic willow]

anyone have operating room key and willing to help

[bold kernel]

Just saw some video from Rengawr where he rated the bullet highly because of the -30% recoil. It lets you be a laserbeam

[molten marten]

has very little pen

[jolly otter]

what can i use instead of ifaks ? salewa also good ?

[bold kernel]

Ahhh okay

[flat fractal]

i have the same issue, so does my friend

[valid trout]

If you lega meta sure but not on a mutant

[bold kernel]

I'm trying to figure out my next progression gun/ammo. I currently run AK74 with PP and UMPs and gonna hit lvl 23 soon

[bold kernel]

it seems to be a bug

[molten marten]

I use ifaks bc I use rat rigs bc of money but if youre running a rig with alot of space salewas work

[lethal ore]

do peacekeeper quest

[jolly otter]

ok. tyvm!

[bold kernel]

for what, the M80 bullets?

[lethal ore]

cult part 1 unlocks a good 556 round so you can start running m4s

[molten marten]

m80, .45 ap, ap 6.3

[lethal ore]

it gets you M856A1

[bold kernel]

that's a strong as hell ammo

[lethal ore]

worst best round

for 556

[molten marten]

later in wipe only use m855a1 or m995, m856a1 wears off later in wipe

[severe tiger]

has like 20 something

[molten marten]

which is absolute dog

[severe tiger]

ye

[bold kernel]

Alright

im just trying to map myself to have a decent idea of what to look foward too

[molten marten]

if you like 556 skier level 4 give you m855a1

[severe tiger]

whats a good map to look for flash drives?

and gas analizers

[molten marten]

anywhere with filing cabinets and safes

[bold kernel]

woods flash drive camp has been nice to me

[molten marten]

interchange

[severe tiger]

where?

[molten marten]

tech stores

[severe tiger]

hm

[bold kernel]

I like assault rifles and full auto weapons in general. I also like having the option to run Tac30/Vudu to 1 tap heads

[severe tiger]

isnt there a spawn for gas analizers on factory?

but u need some key

[lethal ore]

craft the gas thingys if not

[molten marten]

when you get peacekeeper lvl 3 you can buy and run the rfb which is the best budget gun in the game

[severe tiger]

how

what do i need to crafy them

[molten marten]

low spawn chance im pretty sure

[bold kernel]

Used to run that bad boy with M80 when he sold it at LL2

[severe tiger]

u need like 5 flash drives fir for all quests right?

[bold kernel]

i felt so bad when i got LL2 and didnt find the ammo, lol

[molten marten]

same

[bold kernel]

If that weapon could go full auto and run a laser, id run nothing else lol

[molten marten]

you would like the mk17

[bold kernel]

I'll look into that weapon too.

ump is so fun , but those 25 mags hurt

[severe tiger]

rpm isnt that high

[molten marten]

peacekeeper lvl 3 gives you the best 45 ammo and it beams early-mid wipe

[severe tiger]

its managable the 25 rounders on ump

best map to make some money?

[molten marten]

probably interchange or reserve

[severe tiger]

i need food fir for jager

[molten marten]

but I main customs for a balance of good pvp and loot

[severe tiger]

ive tried to go to reserve

looting the crates

but i cant find the food i need

[molten marten]

thats just luck

[severe tiger]

customs for loot?

what do u loot?

[molten marten]

depends

main places are the area around power, fortress, dorms if I want pvp, office and blue shacks if I get a big red spawn

[severe tiger]

ehat lvl r u?

[molten marten]

30

[severe tiger]

r u on kappa quest already?

[molten marten]

oh hell no

[severe tiger]

nah right?

[molten marten]

im not going for kappa probably

its such a pain in the ass

[severe tiger]

kappa is only 3+ slots right?

[molten marten]

from gamma yes

[severe tiger]

epsilon is the same

[molten marten]

kappa is 9 epsilon is 8

[rare niche]

I lost all of my pain killers

[molten marten]

?

[edgy plover]

Kappa is 12, gamma 9, epsilon is 8

[rare niche]

I don’t have a trade for pain killers

[severe tiger]

wait epsilon is 8 slots?

[molten marten]

shit mb lmao

[severe tiger]

ye that sounds right xd

beta case has 6

amd the normal has 4

[whole thistle]

Buy more then

[rare niche]

I don’t ha love a trade for any pain killers

[molten marten]

I reccomend this container setup because you have plenty of ammo and meds and if you dont have a docs case put a cms

[whole thistle]

Buy them with money

[rare niche]

I don’t have flea

[whole thistle]

Therapist

[molten marten]

find some and shove it in your ass

[rare niche]

I gave gamma

[whole thistle]

Therapist 1 sells them brah

[molten marten]

even better

[severe tiger]

what about cms tho

[molten marten]

imo I would rather have keys than a cms

and if I have a blacked leg I have vaseline

[severe tiger]

what about a arm

[molten marten]

not a big issue imo

unless im running a high power scope then I just gotta suck it up

[valid trout]

Don’t have to bring spare ammo

[molten marten]

but usually one of my buddies brings a surgery kit and then im good

[molten marten]

extremely wrong

[valid trout]

No lol

How many hours you have

[rare niche]

Bruh I have a container setup

[severe tiger]

depends on the mags

u bring

[molten marten]

unless you have 6+ mags you need spare ammo lmao

[molten marten]

500

[valid trout]

🥱

[molten marten]

ok?

[severe tiger]

kinda toxic ngl

[valid trout]

That’s me

I could care less abt this guy

[molten marten]

how you gonna come here and just spread bad information lol

[bold kernel]

why 2 ifaks?

[severe tiger]

lol

[molten marten]

so I dont run out of heals

[valid trout]

Scroll up I helped plenty of beginners

[bold kernel]

I've been running 2 tourniquets, pain killers and 1 Salewaa as my heals.

[severe tiger]

u can burn trough 1 quickly

[molten marten]

but thats still shitty advice lol

spare ammo is essential

[valid trout]

Eh

Not two stack lol

Maybe one

[molten marten]

I kill alot of scavs

[bold kernel]
