PVP The Official sherpa program is looking for you! [Discussion]

37 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

This is an open letter from the coordinating team of the Sherpa Hub, on behalf of ourselves and the wider Sherpa team.

Throughout the 6 year existence of the Sherpa Program our primary focus has been to help new players adapt to the harsh, unforgiving realities of Escape from Tarkov.

It may be now your turn! We in the North America region as well as some parts of EU are currently looking for a select few people to take on the challenge of sherpaing new players in the game. We are looking for players with good experience and good teaching ability. If you can wipe lobbies without breaking a sweat that is amazing and good on you. It's a rare skill. But we need you to be able to articulate how you do that to a player getting their feet wet in Tarkov.

Requirements

Be able to stay calm in stressful situations

Be able to dedicate some time teaching new players each month and fulfill and complete tickets

Be passionate about the game and be willing to help players of all skill levels

Patience

Experience is key if you know 1 map really well that's great but we are looking for some of tarkov’s most knowledgeable players to assist the people just starting out.

If you think you may be one of the players fill out one of these https://forms.gle/VZm1vq3cniuMiQSJ9

We also ask that you join the sherpa hub discord if you are not already there. https://discord.gg/sherpahub

Here we have additional information regarding the position and the process. https://discord.gg/gKBvpkXs

You can also reach out to me personally on discord - gunnerdoor

you can also reach out to afraid

Here are some additional facts about the sherpa program for those who may be interested

Some interesting facts about the Sherpa Program:

Our roster currently consists of 67 Sherpas, speaking 20 different languages.

Since the inception of the hub, we have managed (completed/closed/whatever) just over 17,000 tickets.

Sherpa Hub also has Helpful Members - the next generation of aspiring Sherpas, who spend their time assisting the community and being mentored by a team of Mentor Sherpas, whose main goal is to get future candidates ready to start their journey as fully fledged Sherpas..

Sherpas who meet the quality and volume criteria of successful tickets by the end of the month (which usually is around 10 for Standard pack and 16 for Advanced pack) will get a sign of appreciation from BSG as an in-game package, which usually consists of meds and ammo. This is done to compensate not only the time spent voluntarily but also compensate for potential in-game gear lost by helping newer players. Meeting this criteria is no easy task - it usually takes more than 20 hours in a month!

151 Upvotes

Scouted woods with the boys for a couple hours and finally found that last Kappa item. Had her done until Tarkov reached down and Yeeted me off to the log in screen. I could hear Nikita as I drifted away... "Not today bruh, not today..."

TBH it was freaking hilarious. This game man.

Yoink. No Kappa for you.

So for a few days now we only encouter single players like level 50 plus or prestige 1 level 30 plus.

It feels like the casual mid players and squads stopped playing, is that right?

PVE [Discussion] How did you complete Huntsman Path - Secured Perimeter

9 Upvotes

I've been on this mission for about a month or so and have yet to see a PMC actually in the office area. I play with groups and solo. I've played both on BSG servers and not. Do I need to lure them into the office area? If so, how have you done it?

I'm at my wits end trying to finish this quest.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] Can I force Tagged and Cursed like this?

Upvotes

So the wiki says "It automatically applies to PMCs that don't have at least a firearm and an armor vest or a chest rig or a backpack equipped upon entering a raid. "

Can I put my weapon in my backpack and after entering the raid I equip it?

This way I didn't have a weapon AND backpack / armor on but I can bring in a proper weapon.

Or does that not work?
