[stark torrent]

Closest building , cmon customs.has lots of campong apots

On customs i went in a bush for 15 mins so dorms would be empty

[crystal musk]

fucking bullshit man

[stark torrent]

Then i went , took my quest and fucked off in less than 5

U gotta start with a mindset and stick with it

U wanna do quests, u avoid lootong and pvp

[crystal musk]

??????????

I'm fucking trying

I'm so fucking trying

I only got 1 scav

[stark torrent]

Well dont stoo

[crystal musk]

with the sks

[stark torrent]

We didnt get good overnight

I still die to scavs if i push my luck

[stark torrent]

Cause they are cracked

[crystal musk]

the guy was standing behind this

literally

[stark torrent]

Yeah, avoid that spot from now on

That is a hotspot

[crystal musk]

I can see

[stark torrent]

People camp there alot

[crystal musk]

they can get cancer

legit trash man actually disgusting

idc if you're supposed to play the game slow

[sour arrow]

THE MORE YOU DIE THE BETTER YOU GET

[stark torrent]

Prob a low level just like u

[crystal musk]

camping a fucking exfil like that is just cancerous

no

he was geared

[stark torrent]

Could be a low lvl who had luck

and got that gear

[sour arrow]

Tarkov is the game where it takes 1000 hours to get good at

[stark torrent]

From other victim

[sour arrow]

to get 1 kill

[stark torrent]

At least 1k hours

[crystal musk]

I'll just run this

so I have something to aim with

instead of trash iron sights

[stark torrent]

Thats a good weapon

[sour arrow]

or you could just sit in a bush until the last 15min

peaceful scav hunting and quests

[crystal musk]

the brown sks is shit

only iron sights

so I will spend a bit more for this

so I can actually like

AIM

instead of shooting blindly in the general visinity of someone

[stark torrent]

Yea u will have a quest to kill scavs from 40m with iron sights

bolt actions

Hurrah mosin infantry

[crystal musk]

my scav respawned

time for a quick and dirty factory run

free gun

tbh that's all I do with my scav

go factory , 30 seconds to a minute of looting

escape through window or bunker door

:D

[sour arrow]

THAT MUSTACHE COSTS 15K]

SELL IT

or 20

[foggy jay]

Vpo in 7.62x39 is easier to Gear and has 30 rounds mags. Slap some PS and you are good.

Or use UMP with FMJ and spray and pray

[foggy jay]

Better do some lighthouse runs... Making 300k per run minimum with your scav is a blessing

[crystal musk]

I've never played lighthouse

[foggy jay]

That's why you check videos and play your scav on it

If you loose a scav, just play your PMC

Loosing a scav isn't important

Lost some scavs with 500k roubles of loot

Well, I'll just grab a coffee, watch an episode of Dr Stone and make another 500k next scav

[crystal musk]

my scav had this

for some reason

[foggy jay]

Keep it

Quest item or 150k roubles

It's craftable in the hideout

[crystal musk]

what do I do with the shus

[buoyant fossil]

The what?

[foggy jay]

Keep

[crystal musk]

like idk what to do with most of the items

[foggy jay]

Check wikis

[buoyant fossil]

^

[stark torrent]

Jokes on you , by the time i finish sorting my inventory my scav is back to fill it again

[crystal musk]

what if I do like this?

[sour arrow]

put it in your ak

[crystal musk]

:D

all right

I need 1 more scav

I'll play really really slowly this time

like a true tarkov piece of shit

instead of the aks74n I grabbed the ak105 I had

tbh if I loose either one when dying (because I will 100%) it wouldn't really matter which one I picked

I did it

I killed a scav

[foggy jay]

My inventory is so clean it takes me 3 minutes

[buoyant fossil]

Micromanaging is a great skill to have for Tarkov.

[sour arrow]

ammo and money top, backpacks middle, then comes armor then guns

[crystal musk]

16 mins left

so far I got 3 scavs

more than I needed

OMG

zb1012 was open

YES

boys

I did it

I didn't pick up many things only a VPO and some minor stuff

thank god that exit was open cuz the other one was all the way in 1011 at the end of the bloody map

[foggy jay]

Hum not really top should be containers + empty space

So you just move your shit top of inventory , move stuff to containers and sell the rest

Bottom is backpacks and armors

[sour arrow]

its because you always get new stuff

and ctrl + click is easier than dragging to the top

the lazy layout but still sorted

[foggy jay]

Why would you drag anything to the top ?

And you can use page up and page down

[foggy jay]

Of course ?

[sour arrow]

whatever

[crystal musk]

time to explore reserve in offline

[crystal musk]

I knocked out a lv 36 with my ppsh xdddddddd

feels bad bitch

[buoyant fossil]

[crystal musk]

Literally

how did he not kill me

with a fully decked out akm

EXTRACTED BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

level 36 GAH DAMN

look at all this shit

[buoyant fossil]

Noice

[austere mango]

his name is ratgamer, ofc he is going to be bad at the game

[crystal musk]

he only hit my arm

I believe

uhhh

is it worth buying the scav junk box from therapist?

I'm guessing , no

[austere mango]

once you have 2 of them i think you should start saving up for the stash upgrade in the hideout

[crystal musk]

ok but , is it worth buying one

for 1.1 mil

[austere mango]

i guess, its a lot of space for the small quest and upgrade items

[stark torrent]

Y E S

lmfao i have 2

yes especially if u are standard account

scav jb should be the 1st item u buy honestly

[stark torrent]

[sour arrow]

only if you have money

dont wanna buy the scav box and then not being able to buy guns

[crystal musk]

idk xd

yey I can craft food station

finally

[crystal musk]

I have 1.3 mil

[stark torrent]

i would buy it when u have 2 mil

[crystal musk]

oke

[stark torrent]

it will help u if u scav alot and sell shit

[crystal musk]

ok lets see if I can do the prapor quest

so I need to go all the way to dorms , get the key and then all the way in the open to get the dumb watch

sounds "easy" enough for an early game quest

ofc

[crystal musk]

got killed

ofc

I can't find this dumbass trailer

where the fk is it

got killed behind the fucking metal wall

gahhhh damn its so cancer man

can't complete any fucking quest

so fucking shit

I love it

[crystal musk]

nvm I did it

[sour arrow]

tarkov is so hard to learn because your eyes have to adapt

you see those streamers fuckin seeing people from 200m away in a forested area

[stark torrent]

they also have bat hearing

and honestly they know the map so good at that point, they know all possible entrances, chokepoints, camping points , escape routes etc

i mean u cant beat experience

over 2-3k hours on this game is what it is

[crystal musk]

aah yes

tarkov crashing for the 2nd time this day

3rd crash.....

:)

[buoyant fossil]

They still die like any other human being though.

[sour arrow]

tarkov has never crashed for me

[crystal musk]

do optional objectives do anything?

[sour arrow]

exp and items

[crystal musk]

oke

then I will do all

[sour arrow]

you wont progress

they are useless

[crystal musk]

I have front entract pump station

time to see if there's a gas anal there

[sour arrow]

unless its a 7 days optional objective

aka expires in 7 days

those are worth it

they give more exp than a normal quest

[crystal musk]

tbh I'd be wayy to scared to bring good gear in a raid

I'd always buy some cheapo AK and that's it

tarkov is spooky man

[sour arrow]

i still get jumpscared by shots when its unexpected

[buoyant fossil]

Some weekly missions are nutty.

[crystal musk]

this

I found a flash drive

I think that's good

time to finally practice interchange

my guess is its even more cancer than customs

[crystal musk]

idk if a gas analyzer can even spawn in factory in that little room

the wiki says it can but

i doubt it

[sour arrow]

i found mine on interchange on a shelf

[warm echo]

https://preview.redd.it/3zruptqmvss21.png?auto=webp&s=aad0f9c2fd4c8c591ac5dd44fea6b3fb590a5bcc

GF

[austere mango]

[crystal musk]

TEHRE WAS NO EXIT ON FACTORY

I TRIED ALL

AND I COULDNT" EXTRACT OMG

FUCKING

PIECE OF SHIT GAME

GATE 3 NO gate 0 NO MED TENTS NO

CELLARS NO

WTFFFFFFFFFFf

HOW

[warm echo]

[sour arrow]

Lmao

[crystal musk]

I died at the end by a 3 man squad rushing me on med tents

also I'm convinced 120% now that the pumping station on factory cannot spawn gas analyzers

[crystal musk]

ha

spawned on interchange

entered the shop

instantly died from

SOMEWHERE

how fun

[stark torrent]

imagine touching my merin loot

[crystal musk]

should I go at night?

I think I'm gonna go at night

[stark torrent]

without learning the maps? nope

if u learn the maps , absolutely if u have easy quests like pick X or drop Y

[crystal musk]

I played interchange once , I know the shop where I need to go for gas analyzer and that's it

I don't need anything else

[stark torrent]

u can craft the gas

[crystal musk]

do you seriously think I have the materials?

[stark torrent]

but well, yeah go look for it in interchange

[crystal musk]

like really?

[stark torrent]

yeah iirc i havent done that quest until iw as lvl 15

[crystal musk]

its easy to say lol just craft it

[stark torrent]

i mean....you could ignore the quest until u are lvl 15

[crystal musk]

haha just craft it

[stark torrent]

and then just buy the materials and craft it

u can find all except the yellow thingie, that is hard af

[crystal musk]

well

then dont tell me to craft it if its super hard to find

that option is out of the question

[stark torrent]

again, i told you to wait lvl 15

if u die 13 times for the gas analyser just fuck it

go do smth else

[crystal musk]

can I find it as a scav?

inside factory

[stark torrent]

slim chances, everyone loots shit on factory usually

but it can spawn there ye

u can spawn with it in your ivnentory

as a scav , thats how i got my 1st one

[crystal musk]

I know the technical box in one of the underground sections can spawn it

[stark torrent]

oh btw, after that quest, ur next quest

will

[crystal musk]

and the toolbox inside the building

[stark torrent]

be

to....

FIND ANOTHER 2 AHAHAHAH

[crystal musk]

ok

[stark torrent]

so yeah , i would just wait till lvl 15 and craft it then , buy stuff of flea to craft it

if u get lucky meanwhile

[crystal musk]

my best bet is doing scav runs for like 1 minute and always check that one box until I get it

[stark torrent]

u can always spawn with one or maybe find one

[crystal musk]

the pump room is a lie

shit never spawns in there

[stark torrent]

dont sit on one quest too much

[crystal musk]

checked 3 fucking times

[stark torrent]

it does bro , but as a scav u spawn much later

PMCs get the loot always

[crystal musk]

I did it as a pmc?

you have to unlock the fucking door

[stark torrent]

ah ....shit then

tough luck damn

i heard spawns suck

for the gas analyser on factory

used to be rly common but

not anymore

[crystal musk]

it does on that pump room

[stark torrent]

interchange is ur best bet

[crystal musk]

even tho theRapist says it can spawn

my ass , no it cannot

bullshit

[stark torrent]

i found 3 one time

[crystal musk]

that's what I said

[stark torrent]

and i threw them in the middle of the hallway

[crystal musk]

interchange at night

[stark torrent]

so other players can pick it up

yeah u can do whatever u feel man

interchange at night is decent

[crystal musk]

I just don't want to die too much with my PMC and loose a shit ton of items

[stark torrent]

if u see PMCs stay away , usually they are there for KIBA or Killa

so it means they are geared af

u dont wanna fuck with them

[stark torrent]

if u are questing, u can go super light geared and focus on ur quest

patience is key , u can sit in a corner for some time

u get ur quest and go , if u linger for loot u ask for trouble

[crystal musk]

YOU HAVE GgOT TO BE KIDDING ME

FFS

[stark torrent]

yeah thats 150k right there

u should extract

lmao

[crystal musk]

got it

:D

[sour arrow]

you are going to need both those purple tools

for the hideout

[stark torrent]

the PGW later

[sour arrow]

watch him sell them

[stark torrent]

the bublex yeah

u ned it for the lvl 2 generator keep that

and the car bat as well

for quest

u need to keep sparkplugs , car bats

[sour arrow]

6 car batts you need for a quest

[crystal musk]

not bad

I think

[sour arrow]

nvg

'where did you get them

[crystal musk]

uhhh on the shelf

3rd floor

in the corridor

🤷‍♂️

why

[sour arrow]

wtf ive never found nvgs in raid

[crystal musk]

idk

[sour arrow]

and ive played for 3 wipes

[crystal musk]

can someone join vc and tell me what I should sell

my inventory is beyond cramped

someone said purple tool , I've got 2

[stark torrent]

u only need one iirc

u can sell the one found in raid

let me check

yeah u only need to keep 1

for generator lvl 2

so keep one sell whatever u find

after

[novel mason]

Sorry @crystal musk bad internet, I'm getting disconnected

[crystal musk]

nah it's ok

these 2 spawns on woods need to be further apart

I just died by a player who spawned on the southern one and I was busy killing a scav on the checkpoint

like

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[sour arrow]

there are 2 spawns in factory that are next to each other

[crystal musk]

that's the most retarded thing I've seen so far 2 spawns so close

[sour arrow]

you could spawn and die without seeing that you are ingame

damn, these devs are smart

[crystal musk]

like its so gay man

its so shit

so unbalanced

theres nothing hardcore about this

[sour arrow]

"git gud"

[crystal musk]

yes

[crystal musk]

average tarkov player response

Literally everyone says shit like this cuz they're full of themselves , I love it

[sour arrow]

at the end of the day its not about git gud its about having a faster internet than the other

[crystal musk]

I died abour 3 times now on woods trying to kill scavs

first time I died from a HS from somewhere I didn't even see where ,2nd time mines on useccamp

and third

THIS BULLSHIT

[sour arrow]

i mean how do you think those people got so many kills

confidence holds back and encourages

just because of their enormous confidence is what drives newbies insane

[crystal musk]

they can still suck a dick

I got killed by a scav , as a scav on factory

I don't even know what to say man

29% survival rate

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa

CAN I ESCAPE ONE FUCKING RAID

no I cannot , I'm not allowed

[crystal musk]

oh wow would you look at that

I go customs

I spawn in

1:57 minutes elapse , I die from a headshot from somewhere

:)

I barely started walking and I'm dead

how fun

I've probably died over 10 consecutive times in raids

literally spawning in

and dying

from SOMEWHERE

not even god knows from where

I legit don't know what I'm doing wrong

I'm not rushing in I'm traveling slowly and stuff from cover to cover

and I die from a bullet that came from fucking venus

like what the fuck man

let me play the fucking game

[austere mango]

dont take it slow when you are in some sort of open area, use all your stamina till it gets to red to get out of the open and reach some place covered

[crystal musk]

I WAS

IN THE TREES

I was moving around the fucking trees

I spawned here

I started walking south

towards the middle to hopefully complete the quest

I was literally walking and I see my character drop dead from a headshot

how do you want me to avoid a headshot to the fucking chin

I'm legit not allowed to play

because mr gamer 30042069

snipes from somewhere

and ofc I cannot see him or hear the shot

because I instantly die

I don't understand how I'm supposed to play

I guess the only correct way

is camp like a little bitch

in a bush

until theres 10 minutes left

and then extract

yeah that is the way

at least there's scav runs , I suppose

[austere mango]

i dont think so

[crystal musk]

for free gear

[austere mango]

you will still have to learn camping spots and how to avoid them or even flank them (might have to learn them the hard way), hearing foot steps, ads, meds or food and drink can mean the difference between winning and losing a fight.

[stark torrent]

i mean for real , players and even scavs can spawn in front of u if u are lucky or ,,unlucky'' to meet them

hell , on factory u can even spawn in front of tagilla who will instakill u by the time u fully load in

ez 3 second raid

[sour arrow]

i got shot with a scav having his arms bent backwards

he was shooting me with his back

cursed shit

[stark torrent]

lmao i would rage at that , i used to get shot from scavs like looking into the sky then instantly turning the crosshair on u like 180

its scary af

[buoyant fossil]

The AI in Tarkov seems like a whole new breed of pepega.

[stark torrent]

survived a raid on customs with my torso blacked only to die because i took 1 point of dehydration in front of zb 1011 extract

[sour arrow]

like imagine you are waiting a scav to stop moving then he turns to look left then his back aims at you

and boom you are dead

[buoyant fossil]

One second they just run past you, the other they noscope you at a 'shooter born in heaven' style.

[austere mango]

head eyes by a scav

[crystal musk]

fuck customs

idc

legit fuck that map

[stark torrent]

its extremely funny when they have shit ammo and shit guns, i understand if they had like a FAL or whatever, but head eyeing me from 100m with a fucking AK with no dust cover and 10 round mag is cringe

nikita get ur shit togheter cyka

[buoyant fossil]

If I were to play I'd despise shoreline most likely ngl.

[sour arrow]

They are always watching

[buoyant fossil]

[stark torrent]

i only shoreline with groups , solo is cancer

extract campers, shooter born in heaven tryhards, resort solo is a no go lmao

[crystal musk]

well luckily I found a full condition ak103

so that's

ok I guess

[buoyant fossil]

Yeah I can't understand why that map has to be the way it is, it feels like woods but it has the resort as the main attraction.

[crystal musk]

also a water filter idk if thats nice

[buoyant fossil]

But also honestly I'd probably main woods and be a stash hunter to make heap of money in early game.

Still coping on getting the game or not.

[stark torrent]

its ok , sells for 15k to therapist, almost 40k on flea market at lvl 15

would keep it

[sour arrow]

CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS BUG IS STILL HAPPENING

its been happening since 0.10

[crystal musk]

I'm starting to sort of run out of space tho

[stark torrent]

then u gotta take the scav box my little one

it must be done

[sour arrow]

now its rare but i still see it atleast once every wipe

[crystal musk]

can't I craft it?

or earn from a quest? or something

[stark torrent]

u can but u need lavatory lvl 3 and 2 metal fuel tanks + other shit

so....out of your reach basically

[buoyant fossil]

Scav box is worthy investment.

[crystal musk]

I have like 1.4m just because I've been grinding scav runs and I'm at 0.20 fence karma so far

just run for 1 minute on factory , sell everything

repeat

[stark torrent]

fuck yeah it is

why the fuck does it screenshot both my monitors

also i evolved , from propane man to fuel man

[crystal musk]

so

do I buy it

[buoyant fossil]

[crystal musk]

this is what I have

[buoyant fossil]

Yeah, you should.

[stark torrent]

i would yeah

just fuck it , u gonna make ur money back

if u store the trash in it then sell it

when it gets full

thats what i do

this way ui can freely scav junk knwoing u can store it

[crystal musk]

and now what

[buoyant fossil]

100 dog tags for these scav boxes bruh.

For bartering it

[stark torrent]

now put all the junk items in it

sort it

then go scav more for money , you should rly watch some stash runs on youtube on a map of your choice

[sour arrow]

YOU KEEP DIARIES?

[stark torrent]

i recommend customs or lighthouse myself

[stark torrent]

iirc u need them for a barter for good shit

[sour arrow]

ah]

[stark torrent]

ah yeah

for lvl 5 korund armor

[sour arrow]

they are still easy to find

Damn

how many

[sour arrow]

HOLY SHIT

Thats like free stuff

[stark torrent]

yeah korund is rly solid armor

lvl 5 , protects stomach

[sour arrow]

if i had kept mine i would have atleast 50

[stark torrent]

lvl 3 prapor

lmao well keep them from now on

[buoyant fossil]

Also useful for folder with intel.

[stark torrent]

my scav is better geared than my pmc lmfao

[crystal musk]

nice , I guess

[sour arrow]

end of last wipe was fun

[stark torrent]

yoo tin man, i actually got a maska from scav box

imma use it with a slick to farm raiders probably

[stark torrent]

thats quite the space u freed up

[sour arrow]

i still got killed by an mp7 user

no time to react

[stark torrent]

btw , keep 2 Eagle and 2 Thermite and get ammo box from mechanic barter @crystal musk

[sour arrow]

it happened in 2 secs

[crystal musk]

2 eagle?

you mean gunpowder?

[stark torrent]

green gunpowder

yes

keep them

and 2 thermite

u can get ammo box

[crystal musk]

nice

:)

how do I get thermite?

[sour arrow]

i havent been playing tarkov much

[buoyant fossil]

Technical supply crates/caches/dead scavs.

There's a bunch of static spawns probably too depending on the map.

[stark torrent]

i can tell u on lighthouse u can find alot

from the construction to the beach area including fishing village

[sour arrow]

it gets boring playing the same maps over and over again, shittiest ai system (stalker has a better one), find this rare garbage in raid that you will spend 5 hours solely looking for

[buoyant fossil]

[sour arrow]

unable to run lighthouse...

fps goes from 80 to minus 1

[buoyant fossil]

I can't understand why lighthouse is like that.

[stark torrent]

honestly just go stash rtuns

runs

[sour arrow]

cant play the map which really bums me out to continue playing the game

[crystal musk]

I don't know stashes

fun.

in 42 raids that is

I'd expect a bit more than only 28 fucking %

[stark torrent]

youtube does

[crystal musk]

ok

[sour arrow]

stashes are empty anyway

i havent seen anything good in them this patch

[stark torrent]

uhm

i got insane shit out of it

[sour arrow]

this patch?

[stark torrent]

y this is my 1st wipe

[sour arrow]

at the beginning of the wipe i was searching for gas analysers in them

EVERYTHING WAS CHEAP GARBO

[stark torrent]

i got alot of armors , helmets

[sour arrow]

same but that was last wipe

[stark torrent]

i got bitcoins

ik they nerfed loot in general

i mean there are higher chances u find them empty , true

[crystal musk]

you know what , fuck pmcs

scav life

that's the way to go

just play factory all day and rack up free shit

[stark torrent]

poor lvl 10

hahaha

[crystal musk]

I didn't kill him

he was dead

and I looted his shit

[stark torrent]

even better

[crystal musk]

feel bad

no gas anal in the tech supply crate underground tho

aaand easy money right there

probably 50k just from this

literally 1 minute raid

what a joke

ok ok question

is it worth it

to use the meds item and make 3 cheese slices(AI-2) instead of selling the meds

[stark torrent]

i think so , ye

cause u can sell the cheeses for 3x times

if u want

how much does a med sell

ah well

u make like

1k profit

i would keep the meds hoenstly

helps in crafting later

[crystal musk]

4k or something

well woods time

nope

died

yeyyy how fun

it's so fun

and for this amazing fun

I get a crash :)

[crystal musk]

ok I was thinking right and it could be also that I'm simply playing too fast

maybe

[sour arrow]

@austere mango i like to be blinded just like tarkov

[austere mango]

https://tenor.com/view/saved-jim-carrey-pathetic-pathetic-loser-loser-gif-5666692

"immersion"

[sour arrow]

hardcore

because i cant see shit

also it looks cool when you are moving and the visor is going left and right

[austere mango]

you mean "sickening"? or "eye harming" ?

[sour arrow]

go check a video

[torpid flame]

loot is meaningless

you shhould be learning the spawn timings

of maps

as a PMC

since all i see you say in here is i got kille dby a camper

which is more likely that you just are running around like an idiot

with no idea where the other spawns are

[crystal musk]

sure I suppose

[torpid flame]

when i say spawn timings what i mena is

if you look at the map

not all the spawns will have people

so knowing that based on where you spawned

[crystal musk]

does everyone spawn at the same time?

[torpid flame]

yes

alwayts

so you can know

100% sore sure

that for hte first 1-2 minutes

where people CANNOT be

[crystal musk]

aha

[torpid flame]

this is the part of the game that is most imporant

to learn

and the hardest to learn too

since there are no replays or anything

[crystal musk]

well idk what I learn first , the caches in the maps the loot where people spawn like which one

[torpid flame]

yeah thats a good way to make money for sure

[sour arrow]

LEARN LEARN LEARN????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[torpid flame]

your first wipe should just be learning how to play PMC i'd say

[crystal musk]

I've learned some of the spawns on woods

[torpid flame]

making money is so easy

now

yeah thats good man!

its important to take notice of where you spawn

then look at it on mapgenie

then see ok there are 2 more spawns near me

[crystal musk]

I learned it because I died multiple times from people because they spawn 100 meters down the road

because balance

[torpid flame]

but only 1 will have a person probably etc

yeah woods has some janky spawns

[sour arrow]

bRo i go in i svd snipe some chad to the face he dont die turns and 1 shots me. "I wonder what i did wrong"

[crystal musk]

there's 2 cancer and I mean CANCER spawns near the checkpoint on woods

the checkpointnear the mill

[torpid flame]

yeah

outskirts spawn

is rough

since you are trapped by 3 other spawns

whenever i spawn in front of outskirts i wait

for people

[crystal musk]

I know that checkpoint very well at this point whenever i see it I know exactly where I am at thispoint

[torpid flame]

to come up to the checkpoint

nice dude

you're learning then

[torpid flame]

woods is a great first map id sy

[crystal musk]

Like

what the fuck is this

[torpid flame]

hahaha yeah

[crystal musk]

literally wtf

[torpid flame]

but the thing is

not all the spawns will have people

so THIS is what i'm ttrying to make you learn

[crystal musk]

this one did

[torpid flame]

yes one time it does maybe

but not 100% of the time

[crystal musk]

I killed my scav over at the checkpoint and I see I'm getting 2 tapped from the back

[torpid flame]

so its just important to know ok i spawned here so there COULD be two more spawns active close to me

yeah if you're fighting with a loud gun

thats just an invitation to come kill you

thats another thingppl dont tell you

when you hear fighting

if you're on the map to PVP

you chase the gunshots

so as soon as you fight a scav

everyvbody on the map knows where you are

what gun you have

and are coming to get you

[crystal musk]

I don't like how I'm at 29% survival rate tho

[torpid flame]

you must be doing something right

[crystal musk]

always dying from someone getting 1 tapped

[crystal musk]

right?>

how is 29% doing something right

[torpid flame]

thats probably because you aren't moving around the map well

its not 0 lol

[crystal musk]

I've noticed one big mistake I think I make

[torpid flame]

are you making sure you are moving between objects

[crystal musk]

I sprint everywhere and don't take it more slowly

[torpid flame]

like you want cover behind you

sprinting is good

[crystal musk]

I try to at least not hit bushes and shit

[torpid flame]

especially on woods

[crystal musk]

I know but

[torpid flame]

you should be making sure there is something covering sight on all sides of you if you can

[crystal musk]

I mean that I tend to just want to get to extract as quickly as possible and just run through the map

[torpid flame]

like dont run through empty fields

[crystal musk]

not paying attention

[torpid flame]

right right

you can play like that for sure

i do it lots when im questing

but its just important to know the other spawns when you do that

so you'll know ok i'm this far onto the east of the map, now i need to worry about those 2 spawns etc

[sour arrow]

i dont know man. Even when you have cover if you dont see the target first you are probably going to get 1 shot anyway

[crystal musk]

^

[sour arrow]

it all comes down to eye adaptation

[crystal musk]

you cant understand where the shot is coming from if you get 1 tapped instantly and drop to the ground

[sour arrow]

memorising how can a person differ from the enviroment even if they are the same color

even if you are playing like cod with that skill ^ you are still going to be better than a beginner

[crystal musk]

idk I don't like how much I'm dying

always loosing shit without even killing a single scav

[sour arrow]

id say sit in a bush every raid for 5min then go

[crystal musk]

Yeah I did say that I tend to play too fast

at least I think I do

[sour arrow]

i dont know man

ive observed with a scope some people who literally slow crouch the entire raid

even when you think you are covered you are always gonna be exposed

[torpid flame]

its

all

spawn

timings

you can know where to look for people if you know the spawns

on your PMC try to extract within 15 mins TOPS

[sour arrow]

thats at the beginning

[torpid flame]

the longer youre in the raid the more risk you are taking

[sour arrow]

what about after that

[torpid flame]

that comes with experience

but youll learn the quests

and know where people might be going based on how far into the wipe it is

[sour arrow]

the dvl man on the rock is always watching

[crystal musk]

idk all spawns even on woods

I'm not that insane

[torpid flame]

well

thats what it takes to get good at tarkov

map knowledge is king

but theres no way to learn it without playing lots

[sour arrow]

its like dark souls. The more you die the better you get

[torpid flame]

exactly

but ONLY if youre learning from your deaths

try recording a raid

then watch how you died

youll probably see a mistake you made

[sour arrow]

except it happens slower because of the map loading screen

[crystal musk]

probably from a bullet across the map , most likely

[torpid flame]

maybe

maybe it was a guy you looked right at

i know you dont wanna watch youtubes but you shoudl watch the 'beyond the grave' series that jesse k does

[sour arrow]

isnt tarkov like

the bullet lands first then you hear the shot

[torpid flame]

nope

[crystal musk]

when did I say that

[torpid flame]

oh somebody said that about you then i think

he goes over really good ideas about preventing dying

and how to learn from every death

[sour arrow]

man i swear the retired military soldiers who play this game

[crystal musk]

who?

[torpid flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Y5wn9r3jk

this guy

[crystal musk]

I literally watch tarkov videos everyday

[torpid flame]

oh really

damn ok

i can reccomend some good ones then

[crystal musk]

mainly halfman because I like the playthrough formula

[sour arrow]

they have a huge advantage. OP

[torpid flame]

for sure some advantage

but the best players are just gamers

tigz i think is my fav streamer RN

hes a nutter man

[sour arrow]

sec

[crystal musk]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcRqkpH-i13gDHjRLg1AJCcB5rej7U-VR this is what I watch @torpid flame

simply because thevideos are long

and I like long videos that I can just sit and watch all the way through

[torpid flame]

never seen this guy

operatordrewski has some good long videos too

[crystal musk]

he has 50k subs that's why

[torpid flame]

this video is amazing

for interchange

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-an0b7qi3ak

this explains everything i'm trying to tell you to learn about

in a much better way than im doing lol

this one is also really great for talking about spawn timings

1 sc

[crystal musk]

the videos I watch are mostly like simple playthroughs , 1 hour long and that's it

[torpid flame]

cant find it now

ya thats just somebody playing tho

[crystal musk]

he's not a super hardcore player and things

[torpid flame]

you wont learn much from just watching some guy play

[sour arrow]

yoo lemme check my survival rate

a 600h rat like me

i havent checked my stats in like a year

[torpid flame]

OK

this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBKyxOk7xO4

the PVP guides are best for learning the game id say because they focus on what actually matters

where people can be at what times during the raid

what spawns you need to worry about when you spawn X spot

etc

this one he gives you good spawn and bad spawn strats for east and west spawns

[crystal musk]

I've never played resort

[torpid flame]

thers definitely one for woods

i just havent watched one

so cnat reccomend

but a woods pVP guide video

i think will teach you heaps about spawns

[crystal musk]

well thanks I suppose

[torpid flame]

and where to be worried about people coming from

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a60T7IhCLTQ

[crystal musk]

I'm sure I'll learn with time but so far the experience is like hitting a wall

[torpid flame]

here

this is what you need

oh wait

this is

[sour arrow]

YOOOOOOO 8van

[torpid flame]

pre expansion

LOL

dont watch this one

becuz the map is 3x bigger now

[sour arrow]

we are the same @crystal musk

[torpid flame]

but stil could be helpful

[sour arrow]

xD

[torpid flame]

1300 hours and still rocking 45 surv rate

but i pvp a lot

here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGUswMPHB4s

[crystal musk]

41 is not 29

[torpid flame]

watch this who,le video @crystal musk

[sour arrow]

just showing you that going over 50 is basically impossible

[torpid flame]

no its not lol

your dailies and weekly tasks scale

once you go over level 42 i think

they start being like 30k xp every time

[sour arrow]

50% survival rate...

[torpid flame]

ohhhhh

naw thats also not true

i had 60% for the first bit until i started playing just to pvp

[sour arrow]

this is new

[torpid flame]

no it isnt

ive played since 11.7

its always been tehre

279 PMC kilsl

rookie numbers TBH

i need to play more factory

nothing like coming out of factory carrying 5 dogtags lol

[sour arrow]

i mean

i still die alot

the game just cant keep me in for more than 2 hours nowadays

having to repeat same old quests

[crystal musk]

thanks for the help I suppose

I'll play a bit more offline and really learn the layout of customs

so I don't always rely on the maps

it's such a hard map to learn tho

[sour arrow]

customs is the easiest

what i find hard is interchange the most

[crystal musk]

....wha-

how the f

[sour arrow]

the reserve underground is hard too

[torpid flame]

customs is really easy once you learn it

but its the busiest pvp map id say

other than factory

[crystal musk]

I'll learn with time I'm gonna be a little more optimistic

factory from what I gathered is a call of duty map, if you go factory you're playing CoD not tarkov

[sour arrow]

factory > customs > shoreline > and then interchange and reserve (underground only) on par

Reserve top only is easy

didnt include woods because i hate that map

i had there 1v1 mosin fight that was going for 4min with like 5 meters between each other

that was PAIN

[crystal musk]

anyway gn

[crystal musk]

customs and interchange felt easy for me, along with the tiny factory but I always get lost on woods

like even with a map on my 2nd monitor im lost half the time

[crystal musk]

https://youtu.be/gdSpM6b2kt0

[sour arrow]

47min average life span is when my balls grow and i try to gun down everyone on the map

Sometimes my sanity crumbles mid raid

IF IM SURE I HOLD THE HIGH GROUND I WILL TAKE IT GLADLY INSTEAD OF EXTRACTING

I go without a backpack in raids and kill without looting anything. Psycho pov

THEIR BLOOD IS MORE THAN ENOUGH

[foggy jay]

My average life span is 20min

Gotta go fast

[sour arrow]

My purpose is quest, kill, run

Loot is temporary, kills are forever

Only collect dogtags if its a quest or grab the dogtag and the gun for a 2nd and thats it

[crystal musk]

damn I joined a early woods raid

over 31 minutes left

I'll play this one slowly

I will wait until there's liek 10 minutes left

heeheheheh

[sour arrow]

Haha

You are definitely gonna succeed the quest that way

Wait until 15 tho

You wont have enough time to get to the extract at 10 - speaking from experience

[sour arrow]

missing in action

[crystal musk]

I did it :)

I moved through the outskirts of the mill

basically through the woods

moved through the mil base then around mill then through checkpoint , dropping I think 2 scavs and that was it

got a iskra for the quest too

[sour arrow]

A brawl

The wild east.

[crystal musk]

I accidentally left the generator running

woops

[sour arrow]

bush gang

[crystal musk]

https://tenor.com/view/agt-americas-got-talent-mel-b-nbc-binoculars-gif-5147420

what

[sour arrow]

Its a bush at 3am

[crystal musk]

and what exactly is the difference?

[sour arrow]

Reticles

[crystal musk]

the sighting range too

bruh

well 7/15 scavs

oooooooooooo we're half way there

[sour arrow]

I skipped that quest

Because jeager gives you a quest to kill scavs on woods with no armor

So you can do both quests at the same time

[crystal musk]

I took 1 bullet in the stomach from a scav at the checkpoint and it got almost blacked

[sour arrow]

The food and juice is gonna leak

[crystal musk]

so , lesson learned

wear armor next time

[sour arrow]

Not unless armor protects thorax only

[crystal musk]

paca basically

[sour arrow]

Your stomach is still going to get blacked

[crystal musk]

well I was near extract so it was fine

there were 2 scavs actually

one of them shooting at me which I killed and the other in the bushes just sitting

so he yelled and goot thing he didn't shoot

[sour arrow]

I have let hatchlings just go

Its sad when people kill them

I usually never kill unarmed peps

Quest pain sympathy

[fallen cloak]

i dont have the kind of awareness to assess whether hatchling or not before i shoot and if i try im so slow i just get head eyesd

[sour arrow]

I got spared so many times as a hatchling

[crystal musk]

I don't.

;)

[sour arrow]

I have given my medkits to hatchlings i shot

Cause fuck tarkov rules

"reee y did you leave him alive ree shouldve shot him you shouldnt play the game, this is why the game sucks"

[crystal musk]

I have never been spared yet.

[sour arrow]

I will if i see you

[crystal musk]

You won't notice

[sour arrow]

I always do

[crystal musk]

There is a 50/50 chance that I'm doing my Jeager PMC quests or already dead

Don't bother and take all the loot if you manage to find me.
(usually a mosin :p)

[crystal musk]

why are some of the red dot so fuzzy?

I feel like its way to emphasised on how fuzzy they are

[foggy jay]

"balance"

[crystal musk]

the fk you mean balance?

[foggy jay]

Well some red dots are bad and cheap, others are good and expensive

[crystal musk]

so the cobra , a really popular sight on ruski rifles , looks super fuzzy

?

makes sense yeah "balance"

[foggy jay]

Yeah it's bad

It's for the sake of progression

[sour arrow]

I dont like red dots

Just get the monstrum for 20k

If tarkov had a zoom just like gamma then they wouldve been worth it

[crystal musk]

never ever gonna go factory as a pmc

fuck this

[crystal musk]

allright

got kileld

I got killed in the thorax by a scav?

even tho I had lv 4 armor

bitch

what kind of bullet did you hit me with you cunt

ofc I died again on woods

ofc I fucking did

because bullets apparently pen anything

so why wear armor right haha

the fk was this shit man

first I get hit in the arm by the scav who I literally didn't see

then I start running and get one shotted

DID YOU HIT ME WITH A NUKE OR WHAT

bullshit

very fun I love dying even more

and loosing more and more shit

and not suceeding in anythin

[sour arrow]

you can see the bullets you got hit with in the health menu at the end of the raid
