I'll have to move around the extraction point to see if I can do it.. Yeah that's a plan I might get copies of the maps

Also some extracts will need you to meet certain requirements to be able to use them, so thats something to keep in mind on the various maps. Like, must have a paracord to be able to extract, another extract point wont let you extract if you have a bag on you and so on.

Have you also been double pressing 'o' to get a list of extractions that work for you that raid?
Soldato
Yeah been doing that..
Done a great scav run just... Killed an actually player at the gas station got his loot which was pretty good, had a decent rifle and holographic scope, decent head gear and armour, then I set off to extract at Admin gate and needed to check the map to make sure I know where I'm going and as I dive into a Bush some guy was already in it and blasted my head off
So I lost all that nice gear..
But its so addictive I'm going again

100% recommended here!! I've had it a few days now after being undecided for weeks about it... safe to say i love it, Although it will take a while to learn but i'm more than happy to put the hours into this game
If anyone wants to help me understand this game over discord etc drop me a message.
I lost all my guns! No clue what I'm doing. I've reset my character now I have some basic understanding.
Just playing as a scav at the mo. Tried to do some tasks as a pmc, no hope.

Just a forewarning, its nothing at all like CoD, apologies if you already knew that, just being safe rather than sorry
Playing as a scav is a good way to get a few pieces of gear, as long as you can manage to extract so that you can keep the loot. Remember when you do a Scav run, the NPCs are friendly toward you (unless you shoot one) , so you dont need to fight them and can safely walk by them. Try to pick up/buy some headphones (the ingame ones, not the ones you are wearing
) , they make a huge difference to how far away you can hear people moving about. Sound is a MAJOR factor in this game, literally everything you do makes noise, running, walking, turning, reloading, looking through bodies , looting items, opening bags, doors etc etc. If you can master the audio it makes a big difference to your success. Try to not run too much, makes a hell of a lot of noise, try to keep movement on quieter surfaces, like grass etc, rather than on loud gravel or rocks. Get sights on your guns asap, even just reflex dotscopes etc can vastly improve your survival. On PMC runs, remember to put the most valuable items you get, into your gamma container as you will keep hold of those even if you die. You get experience for identifying items, so its worth going to the traders at the start and just identifying everything they have for sale, good way to get a level or two straight away without even going into a map.Theres WAY more to the game than that though, its got quite a surprising amount of depth, Ammo type and weapon modifying are basically games in themselves

What sort of time do you play? I'm still in the early stages of learning this game but wouldn't mind joining in as a squad if your on when I am

I've had a few good scav runs today and got a few good kills and loot, I've picked up some players Dog tags as i'm not sure if they're any use, So what do you all do? Leave them or pick them up?
You can barter the dog tags for some items on the traders, think its something like 2 dogtags for a bag, or a piece of armour or something. Cant remember off the top of my head
I keep all mine though, I have a few dogtag cases where I keep all the dogtags I collect. Sort of my virtual trophy hunter room lol
Evenings work. You on the unofficial discord? I'm skynet5.
I've had a couple of successful scav runs? But yet to kill a real player and get out lol.

Ahhh OK ill start picking them up when I come across them, I like your thinking though kind of rewarding to look back at every now and then
I have Discord but don't really go on it.. I've managed to get some decent gear the last few scav runs, I spent a fair few minutes last night sorting out all my gear into sections
I've yet to kill another player!
Soldato
Ohhh really
I got sniped earlier so I'm guessing that was by some hardcore player literally running into gas station then BAM headshot
