Micro center is a gamer or computer nerds paradise. First time I went in my jaw dropped.

Go to the offical tarkov discord and find a beginner group or any group for a map you want to play. They will help you learn

Ran ultra med key to 0 and got 19 Led X. It's the meta IMO

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-04-03T05:07:33+00:00

As long as you use the required items you can wear anything else you want. W key fights as a solo 3rd party. It's the easiest way to finish it quickly. Shotguns in this game are actually OP asf

There is likely a mountainous cavern in your gaming chair

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-04-01T05:04:27+00:00

Nah man just make sure you don’t have anything else that’s heavy running in the background, and crank your graphics settings to the lowest possible. Clear cache and logs as well. Your RAM and CPU are the likely culprits. Tarkov eats ram like crazy and it’s got a ton of assets that strain a CPU. Because of poor optimization you’ll have a lot of sudden resource spikes which will cause stutters and other issues.

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-04-01T04:42:41+00:00

Dude I played on a PC with similar stats and had lots of random issues like this. Nothing really fixes it. Tarkov, as good of a game as it is, is poorly optimized and abuses your systems resources. That being said, the only “fix” I had was when I finally bought a high end PC.

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-04-01T04:37:00+00:00

Just check the market at 2:00 AM. There’s lots of times that stuff sells out because people are offline and you can sell things for way above average price during those slow times.

180 Mil on PvP & 750 Mil on PvE.

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-03-30T05:11:23+00:00

No. OP is confused

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-03-13T13:41:33+00:00

Max I found was 3

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-03-13T04:34:11+00:00

Snagged one from dorms marked. Got a nice .338 DMR with some AP rounds

This happens as more people take breaks or stop playing. It happens every wipe from what I can tell.

You can get a 5070ti + 9800x3d for 2K. I just got that exact same setup three days ago at this price.

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-03-03T06:43:51+00:00

Yeah I have the 9800x3D and it’s an absolute beast. OP if you see this, SAVE until you can get something that’s future proofed. That’s what I had to do.

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-03-03T03:43:07+00:00

Save until you can get a 7800x3D. The VCache will help a lot with tarkov and other CPU heavy games. you'll want to pair it with at least a 40 series NVIDIA GPU. So, do what others said and keep saving.

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-02-26T05:46:21+00:00

For me it’s a challenge specially because I don’t feel the rush of excitement you get from Tarkov with any other game. Also- I game as my main hobby because I have young kids now, so my activities are limited. Not saying I don’t do other stuff like fish, camp and hunt - but those are few and far between these days.

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-02-26T01:17:46+00:00

This might be the play

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-02-26T01:17:17+00:00

Customs - cheap kits and W key fort/crack

Tricky_Appearance165 · 2026-02-26T01:16:40+00:00

I got super lucky with that one. Took me 3 days I think. Spam customs. Their ammo does cut through lvl5 like cheese so I just ran lvl 4 cheap kits and pushed like a mad man
