Frequently Asked Questions
By fizzy
What is the push to talk key (PTT)?
The key is Z (as of Hotfix 1 you cannot change it).
Why FPS kinda bad?
It’s just gonna be like that, it’s an intensive game. Minimum specs are GTX 1080 (RTX 3060 is comparable performance), game is also quite reliant on a good CPU.
How fix bad FPS?
Ensure you’re using either DLSS or FSR at the bottom of the graphics settings. FSR will generally give better FPS. Try your best to mess with your settings for the best performance! Otherwise, you’ll just have to get better pc parts, sorry homie.
Game crashes when FSR is enabled?
I experienced this myself, it’s from FSR Frame Generation being enabled causing you to crash when you queue into a lobby. Turn it off in graphics at the bottom of the settings!
Difference between factions?
They’re all the same (for now), you cannot change it once you pick one. Pick whichever one you’re most aligned with, or if you have friends you want to play with, pick their faction. Coordinate this ahead of time!
Can I change factions?
I’m sorry, currently you cannot. If you are a different faction from your buddies, I offer my condolences. Who knows, they might change it soon or do a server wipe or smthn.
I am stuck in queue. Please help?
Try changing the server region (so like US East -> US West), or restarting your game. The servers may also be under load in general. IDK man, good luck.
How to use helicopters?
Open your map and select the respective LZs and await your heli! If you’re looking to head back to camp, click on your base and in a few minutes a heli should be on the way. Helicopters can fit 4 people at a time.
Sky is full, can’t summon helicopter?
Wait until the blue helicopter icons have started to despawn off the map, and then click for transport.
How does health work?
There isn’t a set HP bar, rather you have blood that spills out real fast, and organs that, when hit, may result in imminent death or other bad side effects.
How do you heal?
If you’re bleeding out (check your vitals by going to Character -> Health), take cover and use a bandage or a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. You will need a blood bag to restore your lost blood. Splints will fix broken bones, and surgical kits will fix injured organs. Refer to the vitals menu when possible to see what’s wrong with you.
How do I heal my faction’s PMCs?
Get to cover and make them to stand (or crouch) still and press F on them to examine them (you may need to not move your mouse in order for the button prompt to show up.) It will diagnose the problems and if you have your respective healing items on your rig/belt/pockets (backpack won’t work the same way you can’t reload to pull out a magazine in your backpack), and get to treating them!
My dude won’t stop groaning or seeing pain effects.
Pop some painkillers!
How do I resuscitate/revive a comatose squadmate?
Stare at your squadmate and press F to examine their vitals. Make sure you have bandages and bloodbags in your pockets/rig/belt, and start fixing up your friend by bandaging them and using the scroll wheel to treat their various individual problems. They have like probably 30-75 seconds to live.
I shot like 15 rounds into this guy why isn’t he dying?
The game has a unique health systems as explained above, so if you’re not hitting a vital organ (like the brain or the heart), they’re probably bleeding out a lot, but you’ll need to wait for all that blood to pour out if you’re not hitting their organs. With that being said, the cavity system isn’t working yet
How the hell do I attach this damn suppressor to the MK18 (or other weapons)?
This is for the supporter edition Andys. You need a muzzle adapter, you don’t start with it in your locker. I think you can earn it by getting vendor lvl 2 reputation with Gunny. The weapon modding is still a bit of a mystery to me so we’ll figure it out in due time, get to tinkering!
How do I find a task to do?
We have a detailed guide with All Task Locations.
When will all of the bugs and performance issues magically go away?
It’s gonna be a while but the devs are hard at work! Have patience with them, they’re just a buncha little guys. No need to pester them, they’re hard at work makin the game a little better one step at a time. Please don’t ping them about your performance. Feel free to submit bug reports though to the respective areas.
Something something skalla.dll is missing halp please?
I have no clue homie sorry, hopefully devs fix it. Try reinstalling or verifying game files.
I have no head / I have no secure container!
Bug, report it to the devs through here! Hopefully it gets fixed soon man! Play something else in the meantime if you can’t issue a refund.
What happens if I die?
Your loot will be on the ground, try to retrieve it! The body will stay for 1 hour-ish.
What if I die while there’s still loot on my previous corpse?
That previous body is gone, and all items on that past corpse is gone, replaced with your newer dead body. Think twice before trying to run back in with nothing to get your shit back!
How many players per server?
48, sixteen players per pmc faction.
Are the PvP and PvE servers separate instances?
No, you have the same stuff across both gamemodes.
Does the PvE cost $250? (Or require a similar edition)
No lmao.
Is this game a Tarkov killer?
No lmao.
How PvP centric is this game?
Not very common, but definitely be on your toes in PvP servers.
Help!! I bought X Edition and I dont have my loot! AHHH!!!
Calm down! Restart your game and check your Messages to see a vendor banging your line with loot.
Aiming down a scope is laggy, why?
It’s rendering two different viewpoints, the vision outside the scope and the scope itself. Expect lower fps because of that!
Is this game a scam?
I don’t think so. It’s had a rocky launch but it’s only bound to improve. If you’re writing this game off as a buggy mess that won’t ever get updated and we’ve all been scammed out of $35 (oh the humanity), it’s been 24 hours my guy. Give the devs a few days to issue bug fixes and address performance issues, game dev isn’t as easy as Click Button -> Game Fixed. Better yet, if you think you’ve been truly scammed, just refund the game.
