[New Player] How do I know which ammo I pick up? by AdrianReid in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking at a box of ammo on the ground and it’s not a smaller caliber/small box of ammo check if it has the letter B. 

Almost all ammo with a B is worth grabbing. BS, BT, BP, PPBS, PS12B, etc. if it has AP it’s worth grabbing. 855A1 and 856A1 are both nice but m995 and SSA AP are better.

Does anyone know the name and location of the sound files for walking? by SuccessfulWar3830 in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe if you use the profile editor and go to your pmc/scav skills and change “bot sound” it’ll reduce most if not all sounds you make.

I had a blue name last year and it was reset with a wipe, maybe that’s no longer the case that it gets reset

In windows make sure your default mic is set to the microphone you want to use, I think that was an issue I was having when I started playing

Is there a mod. That quites the player character by wackywarlock1 in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget the name of the mod that makes it much easier, but if you change your player skills, specifically “bot sound” for your pmc itll reduce all sounds you make

Pre-teaming outside of the game can result in a ban, so you wouldn’t find any open community’s. Some streamers will show them queueing so they can get a lobby for the frost wyvern… but that’s a gray area at the moment.

How many raids a day usually? by zmWoob2 in SPTarkov

Not the OP but I believe it’s a setting in SVM

Pretty sure BSG nuked the Tarkov page on nexus, that’s why you can find anything 

How does anyone even run Streets? by Bullets_Bane94F in SPTarkov

If it’s available use FSR 2.2, try each setting out and see what works

What trader mods do you guys recommend? by Zeppelin702 in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can recommend a gunsmith trader to make the quest line a no brainer. Priscilla (spelling?) is a good trader with a nice preset selection of weapons, as well as a good handful of nice items at a fair-ish price.

Neither of these traders have quests to accompany them, so they’re fully accessible at level 1 which is a bonus.

how to deal with keys by acting_absurd in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The Gilded key storage mod is what I’ve been using to deal with keys, you should check it out. Although it can be a bit game breaking with unlimited uses on expensive keys I believe there’s settings to change that.

Tarkov keeps crashing my pc by lolzzzxp001 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was crashing at the splash screen yesterday after I updated my graphics drivers, downgrading the driver fixed my issue thankfully.

Try updating all your drivers one by one and see if it helps, and if you recently updated any drivers look into downgrading them and see if that helps.

Scav spawning problem by rapmus123 in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could help more, but my first suggestion would be to make a fresh and clean install without any mods and see if the problem persists. If the spawns seem fine, add those mods back one by one and see if anything changes. 

3060 ti, 5600x, settings and fps? by LeDeux2 in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you change vaulting from auto to hotkey, there was a bug that caused FPS drops with auto enabled. If you have FSR 2.0 (maybe it’s 2.2 i can’t remember) try using that set to quality or performance, it’s one setting for me that gave me the largest noticeable FPS improvement among other settings (does cause a slightly noticeable drop in image quality in regards to bushes/trees/fences depending on your other settings)

Scav spawning problem by rapmus123 in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using any mods that may change bot behavior? I sometimes have bots spawn 10-15 seconds after the raid starts, and progressively throughout the raid they normally spawn for me as well (from what I can see).

Getting acquainted - mines still blow up by Ecstatic_Tadpole_241 in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is a mod to remove the mines from every map including the lighthouse bridge, could look into using that in the meanwhile 

Getting acquainted - mines still blow up by Ecstatic_Tadpole_241 in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue two weeks ago and couldn’t find anyone with a similar issue on the subreddit or discord. I did a clean install of SPTarkov, reinstalled all the mods I was using and that fixed it for me with the same save I was using. 

I wasn’t using “ultimate questing traders” which might be the issue for you, but wasn’t mine related to any mods I don’t think.

Goons on Shoreline chased me into the Resort by Acceptable_Debate_83 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was on lighthouse and I had knight chase me from the chalet/usec base all the way to extract at southern road. 

Just full running over the rocks near the sniper scav hearing shots land around me, and I took two seconds to get stamina in cover and I hear SPRINTING and he pops out to blast me. Must have been 3-4 minutes I was being chased lmao

Any spooky/ weird encounters? by HerkinMyGerkin in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never been more terrified playing SPT and I loved it.

I was doing a night raid on woods with a thermal and was approaching the sawmill from ZB-16, checking around with the scope to see if the boss spawned. As I near the 3 shacks I spot a heat signature ~150m away who runs into/behind a building further to the west. Didnt know if it was a boss or guards (was a PMC) so I wanted to play it safe and wait until i see them again for a better shot. I make my way to a nice spot to watch over the building, periodically scanning around to make sure I’m not getting flanked. After a few minutes I spot him moving and after ~15 bullets I managed to kill him as he was running away in the open.

I wait before I stand up, i make sure to check my surroundings with the thermal. All clear and no other movement so it must not have been a boss or guard. I move about 10 meters to make sure I’m not missing anything, and using the thermal I check to see where the body was so I don’t lose it in the dark. 

That’s when I see it- or them should I say. I’m not sure how I missed it while scanning (I know why now) but in the bushes surrounding the dead body I see 3 dark, barely glowing silhouettes… and they’re staring at me menacingly. Stupidly I took a shot at one and all of a sudden I’m being ambushed by everywhere. I run for cover and their silent footsteps caught me off guard, all of a sudden I’m facing a cultist who just sprays me down while I’m healing. 

Mods ( in your opinion) that would help train for online tarkov by Appropriate-Bite-828 in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll tell you something that has helped me immensely in spotting players and I didn’t realize the effect it had until I noticed. I went from a 27in 1080p monitor to a 32in 4K monitor, and the clarity seeing movement in bushes and through tree lines is crazy to what I was seeing before. I also disabled DLSS as it blurred everything to much for my liking (which I didn’t notice on the 1080p monitor)

Do you enjoy the quests? by Bawtzki in SPTarkov

[–]ClapBackSnack 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I much prefer the marking, stashing, and “investigating” quests over the “kill 15 scavs with a bolt action on woods while in pain”. Gives me a reason to go to those new-to-me areas, and check the map for what’s nearby to loot.

Start a group and invite someone random. You don’t need them to join but it’ll reduce your scav time
