You can choose any server since their workload is approximately identical. Try to select servers in your country so that you are less likely to face the consequences of high ping.
To do this, you need to increase the level of the warehouse in the shelter or open the boxes.
A pouch is a separate container in which you can store various items. As you know, if a character dies, you lose everything in your inventory. However, items from the pouch will be preserved.
The game has two opposing sides, as well as the Wild - characters that can be controlled by bots or players. In the case of players, by controlling the Wilds, they receive free loot, but they do not start the battle from the very beginning of the session.
There are several ways:
Use an SSD.
There are many advantages and differences to playing as a Wild instead of a mercenary. First, all equipment is free and you can escape with it. Secondly, you cannot choose weapons or level up proficiency. Thirdly, all bots (Wild) will not attack you until you shoot them first.
You can get into the game not from the very beginning of the session, but after 15-20 minutes. That is, you find yourself there in the middle of the match. Wilds appear in a wide variety of points, and often much farther from the edge of the map (closer to the center). The game allows you to drive the Wild only once every 30 minutes. The cooldown starts after you die or exit the mode.
Buying goods and completing their quests.
To do this, you need to pump the skill "Recoil control". Depending on its level, you will receive a recoil reduction of 1-30%. All you need to do to level it up is to shoot. Each shot you shoot increases recoil control whether you hit the target or not. If you want to pump faster, then collect cheap ammunition and use a rapid-fire weapon with a silencer (so that no one bothers you). To increase skills by 1 level, you need to make about 1000 shots.
By pumping your strength, you will receive a huge number of bonuses:
To constantly pump strength, make sure to move around with an overloaded inventory. Stuff the pouch with something heavy and play for fun. Things will not disappear from the pouch, and you will provide yourself with constant overload. You will build strength by running with overload (endurance also increases) by throwing grenades.
Select the item you want, hold LMB and click on the R key.
It is impossible to give a definite answer, since some N-caliber cartridges can have increased damage, others - slightly less damage, but better penetration. There is a wiki on the Internet with large tables in which you can study and compare the characteristics of the cartridges.
In the game you will find various items. Some should be sold, some should be used, and some should be put off as they come in handy for completing quests. Here are all the items that are needed for the tasks of the Prapor, Peacemaker, Therapist, Mechanic and Skier:
Canisters cannot be filled. You have the option to buy cans of fuel that are already full.
By choosing any card, you will be able to activate offline mode. To do this, check the box next to the corresponding word.
First, make sure to use a secure container (pouch), as the items stored inside it will not be lost even if your character dies. Thus, put all valuable items inside the pouch! Keys in the game are the most expensive, but take up inventory space. To store them in the pouch and save its space, it is recommended to use an additional container - a key holder.
There are many expensive items at the "Factory" location. When you appear on it, run to the third floor and look for a room with a safe. Lock up and search the safe. Various keys can be found inside the file cabinets. The most expensive keys will be braided.
Y + Y + move the cursor over the desired phrase and press RMB. You will bind a phrase (or gesture) to keyboard shortcuts between F2 and F12 inclusive.
Before starting any escape, you will be able to select the items you want to insure with Prapor. The cost of insurance directly depends on the value of the item and your relationship with Prapor. You can return things from Prapor after 24-36 hours. It is also possible to insure items with a Therapist. The character will return them after 12-24 hours, but the cost of insurance will be higher.
A very important point: you cannot return insured items if they are removed from the map by another gamer. As soon as the items can be returned, you will see a "Get" button in the chat. Even if you do not have free space, you should not rush and part with other items. Items that are returned under insurance can be obtained at any time during the game.
Press T or CTRL + T.
You need to use the available exits. Either buy a card from a Therapist or use our tips above.
Any injury to one leg reduces movement speed by 45%. The jump height is also reduced. Running or jumping with an injured leg will only worsen the injury.
Use first aid kits and other medications.
To leave the Terra Group laboratory, you must use one of the many exits. Moreover, there are three elevators at once that you can activate. In each case, you will be faced with a simple task - to restore power to the elevator. The freight elevator is located in room G21, and to restore power, you need to go down to the basement G1. The central lift is located in the basement between R6 and R8. To restore his power, go to the room in front of sector R4. The lift for the medical unit is also located in the basement. Look for it between rooms G3 and G4. Power can be restored in room G6.
Open the "Merchants" section, select the desired character and go to the "Quests" tab. If the tasks are not visible, then you have either completed all the quests, or they are not yet available to you (for example, a higher level is required). To see completed or unavailable tasks, put a tick in the empty box at the top of the screen.
You can only pick up a smaller backpack from the ground that will fit into the backpack currently on the back of the protagonist. In this case, there must still be enough free space. Otherwise, you will only see the Search button.
Increasing the health level gives a number of bonuses:
By pumping the skill to the maximum, you can absorb damage. The skill will swing automatically. Just participate in raids. There is also one interesting feature: health is pumped in the same ways as strength and endurance, but it happens 2 times slower. You shouldn't focus on manual pumping.
To do this, use the CTRL key.
Using the bipod, you can increase the effectiveness of the weapon. use the Alt + L keys to unfold or fold the bipod.
To protect yourself during raids, you can use body armor and helmets. Usually, body armor only protects the chest / stomach, but some additionally absorb damage to the arms (for example, 6B43). In the "Character" menu, click on the "Protected Areas" command to see what you have protected. As for helmets, they are different in size and only protect the parts that they cover.
When a bullet hits the armor, a calculation is triggered, which takes into account the caliber, types of ammunition and protection. Thus, bullet damage will be inflicted in full only if you hit an unprotected area of the body. If the bullet hits the armor, the comparison is triggered. Not all bullets can penetrate Class III armor. In addition, even if the armor was pierced, health damage will be reduced by N percent.
Many things can be repaired in the game. To do this, you will have to turn to one of two characters: Skier or Prapor. Each subsequent repair reduces the overall efficiency of the item. But one of the characters will repair it better than the other. The skier charges more money, but the overall power loss will be lower.
To open the Huntsman's tasks, you need to complete the "Assignment" quest from the Mechanic.
To gain access to the tasks of the Peacemaker, complete the Skier quest "Friend from the West. Part 2".
The N key is used as for a night vision device.
By motion. If you killed him, you can search the body. If there is a section with a pouch, then the Dikim was controlled by a real player. For bots, the pouch is not even displayed.
To open this trading platform, you need to pump your character to level 5.
A map of some locations can be purchased from the Therapist.
You need plastic and metal cans with gasoline, which are lying around in workshops or in the trunk of cars.
You need a Yotota car key. In this case, you will be able to open a car of the same name, standing at the location "Forest". It is located near wooden huts. However, it is of little use, since one random little thing will lie inside the car.
Read above.
There are several monetary units in the game, with Tarkov roubles being the main ones. However, the Peacemaker offers a lot of equipment for dollars, and the Mechanic for euros and even bitcoins.
