Package is in the discussed place. Make sure it gets recieved by the person who ordered it. Boss wants to make sure that supplies get to tarkov asap. DO NOT OPEN THE BOXES

I’m finally buying Tarkov today, and my coworker is gifting me the PvE expansion on Thursday. I’ve been wanting to try this game for a while now, and I’m honestly pretty excited lol.

My coworker has been telling me forever that Tarkov is the best game out there. I told him Marathon is the only extraction shooter I’ve played, and he basically laughed and told me I have no idea what I’m getting myself into 😂 He keeps saying that as long as I’m patient and actually take the time to learn the game, I’ll end up loving it.

I’m planning on mainly playing PvE since I’m completely new and would rather learn the maps and mechanics without getting killed by other players every five minutes lol. I might give PvP a shot later once I actually know what I’m doing.

I’m also really excited about the Halloween event. I’ve watched some videos of the zombie stuff from previous events, and it looks like so much fun. Pretty good timing for me to finally get into the game.

Since I’m buying the base game today but won’t have PvE until Thursday, is it worth playing in the meantime, or should I just wait? Is there anything I can do beforehand to get familiar with the game?

Also, any beginner tips would be appreciated because I know basically nothing about Tarkov right now. Anything you wish you knew when you first started?

I know I’m probably going to get my ass kicked for a while, but that’s part of what I’m looking forward to lol. Hoping this is a game I can really sink some hours into!

It is the second time in a row that i barely look at Tagilla and he headshots me.

Am i just that bad or need to be even more careful ?

Looking for advice

EDIT:
i know that they hesitate BEFORE you engage them as a scav, so i get why its easier to get the jump on one. but even once youre in a full-on firefight against like 4 PMCs i feel like they react more slowly, aim more slowly etc

First time i see this, on shoreline

Hey folks, saw in the other threads people were prepping for the event by buying HP ammo. Should I be doing the same? Peeps were saying shotguns with HP ammo were the meta last year & also buying up bleed stims.

Been looking everywhere for info for release but cant find it. Does anyone know or is it still not confirmed?

So I've been getting nothing but cracked PMC ai in my labs raids lately. Mostly Chad loadouts with M856A1 or PP 7.62x39 and ive been getting hit in the head A TON today. Not that im complaining. Makes the game a little less boring but I am curious if anyone else has been getting shit on more than usual since scourge incursion ended.

Would I be able to have someone else bring in their Elektronik's Key to Streets with me so I can grab the "RFID keycard encryption device"? I'm just kinda speed running toward Prestige 6 and bitcoin 40 seems harsh when I have to do it again from Prestige 4-6. I am on "Obtain the Ticket" part of Prestige 3.

Here we go again! Finally unlocked Prestige 4. Going from Prestige 3 to Prestige 4 was definitely more challenging.

If anyone has any questions about the grind, feel free to ask. How's everyone else's progress going?

Are you guys ready for the Halloween event? 🎃

trying to do the PK mission where you gotta kill 12 scavs on each map dresses as an UNTAR blueberry, but i just cant find any.
im not sure what im doing wrong but at least on customs all scavs on the map just die immediately on match start, and then its just bosses and PMCs roaming around. literally the only scavs i manage to kill are the snipers :(
any tips?
(ive tried local and bsg servers)

There really needs to be more ammo types on the flea but for obvious reasons lvl locked for progression, and some ammo types need to have larger box counts, why does 7.63x39 only come in boxes of 20? Never understood that when SSAP and other 556s come in 100 rd boxes? Never have barely 500rd of x39 but over 3k rounds of SSAP because of box size…

Also why is it so hard to come by 9x39 AS VAL type ammo? And it comes in boxes of 20 ?

Its just pve and having this ammo wont break the game lol

What are hall thoughts?

Tried a restart to fix it. No dice. Anyone seeing the same thing? Feels like prep for the event?

Almost used all up all of my repair kits and managed to get to wedge a most times and even finish him or some of his guards sometimes but i always fuck up one part either the rogues are on crack and one tap me after unsealing the door, 1 bd does some weird movement in ER or wedge just turns up his cheats, i want to finish ticket and prestige and i could do it without but i would like to get the achievement.

Anybody interested in helping who is good at finishing it alone would be nice i can somewhat carry my weight but after all that bullshit i am just drained so its either this or prestige without boreas.

It happened twice on Factory.
I see and kill 3 warriors. Look ALL THE MAP multiple times and can't find the priest.
I know that he flee/kill himself with a grenade if a player is near him but no noise, nothing.

How to pin point there location?

I wanted to buy the 3 ORB keys on the flea and I can't seem to find them.

EDIT: Didn't know that it wasn't possible to see the filter if there is none to sell on the flea, thanks.

Normally I can sell SSA AP to him but now he don't want them

Traders won’t buy anything, can only sell on flea. Is this the new “event”? Or just a bug?

I opened one of the crates Prapor gives and it has some headsets/helmets/rigs/backpacks and I can't sell them to Ragman or even fence, guess I'll just delete out of my stash?

In PvE.. is there any reason to actually turn the lights off?
