Myself and two buddies are new to the game and so far we've learned customs fairly well. Dipped into woods to do a task at the usec camp and all died to landmines on the northwest edge. Terrifying and hilarious, game owns.

If you want to stack some money up and finish your butt coin machine (top priority) I would learn Interchange next. Fun map, easy to avoid the spots where the gear lords rush, tons of loot. Plus, you can kill Killa! *disclaimer* Killa may kill you first

I'm not a huge fan of the SKS early on. Its reload speed is really tough to deal with if you're top loading. I'd use any other semiauto (shotguns included) instead.

This is why I always recommend new players to pick up and keep the 7.62 VEPR. Teaches you to use AK, 30 round box mags, and generally you get one or two for free each raid just by killing scavs.

I feel like I'm the only goon who hates buckshot though, you end up with 300 to arms and 200 to armor before you finally hit a headshot and even trying to leg scavs takes 4-5 shots for me from 10-ish meters, would rather use the stock sks than buckshot but ymmv.

If you spawn by the river right on the wall you can run to the crack house and 90% of the time nobody will see you. I usually go to hoover all the intel folders up my butt from that spawn and then hide and listen, also to steal the Unknown Key because gently caress you.

I usually spawn in at 10-11 minutes and very seldom see a PMC. There are always 2-5 player scavs though. Depending on the spawn and weapon I play it slow and kill them while looting or storming around corners or I try to hide a bit until the gunshots die down. If I have super valuable loot I usually try to hide in the dead ends behind containers until <1 minute and then run for extract. If I have a crap weapon and no good gear on my scav sometimes I just rush somewhere to get a kill. This works best if you have a shotgun because scavs often don't have any armor on them.

I tried doing interchange scav runs to get familiar with the map and loot some hideout stuff in Oli (need corrugated hoses) but I got killed every time.

Also the amount of 2-3 stacks running around is frustrating when playing alone. Almost every time I run into a player with my PMC they have one or two friends with them. I often take out one but the other usually kills me. Even player scavs seem to run in two stacks quite often...

I would definitely try to hop in Discord and have someone show you a loot run through Interchange and Reserve because most people would consider scav running Factory to be a waste of time considering it's got the same amount of loot as your average small building on Reserve

There don't seem to be a lot of Euros on the Discord unfortunately. So the times I've mostly been playing lately were a bit unpopulated. I am definitely keeping an eye out for Goons to group up with though, I guess everything will be a bit easier in an experienced group!

Edit: also I guess it can be considered a waste of time to run factory if compared to stuff like interchange but I have the feeling that I am starting to get a handle on close quarters combat interactions by doing this which I usually just fail at in normal runs.
And it's quick to do so I can just do one before I log off...

I don't mean it's entirely a waste of time just that early on scav runs are a key money maker and there isn't a lot of loot on factory. If one of your goals is getting comfy with CQC and sound cues, Factory is perfect and you're not wrong at all. Sorry I didn't mean to come off like that. And yes the short duration compared to roubles can be very good. Glad you're thinking smartly about how you use your scav. You'll do great in Tarkov

Lupo whines about every kill being sus and feeds into the perception that every time you die and you either get outplayed or don't know where the guy was, he was hacking. I have about 700 hours into this now and I've reported less than a half dozen people I was SURE were hacking, and that's because they were lag switching or speed hacking. I've made enough crazy single shots to the head in my own time that I know how stupid it is to say someone is aimbotting just because they saw me and shot me instantly in the face. A tiny bit of desync/a lucky shot can make it look that way. I'm sure I've been called a hacker many times because some dope was making a ton of noise moving around and I waited for him to come by and shot him in the back of the head with a silenced gun. Timmy has no experience or knowledge to evaluate how bad he is, so he thinks he's doing fine, therefore anyone who defeats him easily is a hacker.

Can you all help me rule out cheating for my friend's death here?

https://clips.twitch.tv/KitschyDarkPeanutGOWSkull

In case it's not clear, he was right in front of the big green weapons crate in the central enclosed room on the first floor of the Stronghold in Customs. We heard no gunshot, and the impact was straight to head. In a later scav run, we checked out the nearby "new" warehouses that have little poke holes overlooking Stronghold and none of them could see right in to where my friend died.

My other friend (the one whose POV is used in that video) later ran out and got shot in the arm from another mysterious location but was otherwise able to get out ok.

My first thought as to how he died was some weird angle you can see in there from, but I ran all over the area and couldn't figure one out. My only other thoughts are that it was a cheater shooting from under the map or in an otherwise bugged way or a totally insane ricochet. If it was a cheater, I don't understand why he didn't kill my other friend.

For reference, it was M855 to head, by a PMC. Didn't get the PMC's name.

If you have to try this hard to figure out if it was a cheater, it wasn't a cheater.

I could probably run a lap or two around new woods in a raid and see a player like every other raid, I haven't learned the stashes but it's super easy to avoid spawns and the sound of shots and spot people from really far away. The expansion made it feel like Shoreline II which is not a bad vibe for a map.

Edit: If one of you GL'd my team when we opened the first floor door into three story dorms today you can SMDFTB, also I needed a good laugh so thank you. I actually ran back towards bus depot and got killed by a naked pistol boi since I had about 45 HP

I gotta say... extracts, on top of everything else, are a real kick in the loving balls.

its hard enough starting out with everything you gotta learn - then managing to figure out where the gently caress any of the open ones are, then managing to get to one with a destroyed leg. (thankyou addict trucker that left morphine behind) Then loving finding out its for scav friends or whatever bizarre requirement they thought up and now there is no time to make it to another one even if you could with all the hateful poo poo in your way...

there has to be a balance because not having a map and not showing where the exit is on the hud (and other obfuscations) add to the experience but to experienced players its less than trivial, its just known.

I spose I wish there was a planning phase as you load in and if you bought a map it would show the open extracts and their requirements and let you memorise a couple options before you get into the poo poo - kinda like any sane soldier would IRL? I guess I can do that on the internet but now im playing a whole new game finding info sources and how to use it and I want to play a game not do some open source intel..

edit: ok very unoriginal rant over thanks for listening

I mean in this case you had to figure it out through trial and error. That's sort of the secret sauce of Tarkov
