Pest can you run a helmet with a flashlight on it for these videos, I’m sure on a nice monitor it’s fine but watching some of these guides on mobile there’s a lot of very dark, hard to see areas. Thanks for the guides very helpful
I know these videos aren't your most popular and they're not gonna go crazy on youtube algo but thank you so much for making these anyway for new players. It makes it that much easier to get into tarkov
Hey pest, is there any chance on your future map guides you have a helmet with a light on it. In the dark areas its really hard to see what your looking at
I really needed to watch this video before my Reserve run yesterday when I went into the map for the first time as a PMC (I had done Scav Runs to start to learn the map). Oh man were my extracts limited because of special conditions. I went to manhole, couldn't get out with my loot because I had a backpack. I went to descent, couldn't get out because no paracord or red rebel pick axe. I headed over to train station and got killed by a scav boss. Still, I got a lot of XP on that run! 😆
thank you for saving me from so many shitty scav runs to learn because i really just ran circles through apartments and underground and found nothing because i dont know how to navigate to loot without keys
I main this map as a scav, I've found SO many MFD in the filing cabinets that I made all my money at the beginning of the wipe without even needing to work towards the bitcoin farm. I would say Reserve is one of my top maps for money farming.
they could remodel the outer areas where you often get spawn killed just add some bushes, a couple of tanks as cover or sth so people actually have a chance to move away from there 🙏😂
you got me into tarkov daddy pest, ironically you also got me out of tarkov. after a year of tarkov break you are the only tarkov content creator i watch. keep up the good work, big love from a random yt account 😂
in the little building near sewwe manhole, the barracks looking building with the bunk beds, i see 3 duffels in there consistently every time so thats some good easy loot
I paid 6 million ish for my red rebel - it was worth every penny - Reserve is a great map, but the toxicity of the extracts is incredible. Red rebel completely changes that.
I waited til Jaeger lvl 3 for the barter because it’s much cheaper money wise but overall agreed. Before that I was taking my chances hitting D2 with under 3 minutes in raid.
My strategy prior to that was to hit the lever for hermetic, and run up to dome to come down to d2 the back way, hoping it had been activated. Pushing to hermetic or train later in the raid is insane, you have to push through waves of player scavs spawning in from there and hungry for loot. Manhole is even more heavily camped than D2, and D2 switch is the most contested area on the map … yeah, red rebel or not at all as a solo PMC, especially now dome seems to be much less busy than it was a few wipes ago.
Hitting the lever for hermetic door also gives a chance to spawn raiders if i remember correctly, like when you hit d2 power switch but you can hit hermetic lever every like 5 minutes
Other than streets and labs, reserve is I think the last map that I don’t know really well. For some reason ive just never really cared for us aesthetically, and I’ve heard so many mixed things. People either love it or hate it it seems like.
I wouldn't say you are safe. Raiders are boosted npcs, typically have better guns, ammo, armour and have more aggression and accuracy with more HP on body parts I think. They will aggro scavs, I think you can safely kill them as a scab with no rep loss as they are not scav faction. Labs also has raiders.
Nah raiders will clap your ass out regardless of scav rep, they are a bit fucky and wont always shoot on sight (scav) but you can kill them as a scav and not lose rep. Typically if you hear npc speaking english they're raiders but there are some who speak russian. They tend to have good armor, and gun attachments, sometimes good bullets but thats infrequent. They always have nades and heals in their pockets as well. If you hear a gorilla speaking russian its gluey and you should run or be prepared to fight him and his guards. It can be difficult to differentiate them and glueys guards.
I would consider doing this series as a duo with RedOpz. If you guys went in together you could show the angles for the new people, you could have some comedic relief, idk. Would be a fun twist to duo map guides with uncle Red.
Bunker part 2 would be so much nicer if you didn't have to hit every spot in one raid, and instead it was like Delicious Sausage where you could hit the locations individually, extract, and it would save your progress.
@lukealexanderrobertsthefir458 I've been thinking about buying one and you might of just made up my.mind. do you get camped a good bit at the extract?
I ran scav on reserve for the whole wipe knowing where to look and only found two GPUs... not even in the said spawns but in dufflebags. The loot is hella nerfed and needs balancing compared to streets and lighthouse tbh
i think all the modded ak spawns has gone down the shitter im Reserve Rat its the map i always play and i remeber like 4 wipes ago i had my whole stash filled with modded ak74 from reserve
It's so sad how they murdered this map by getting rid of all the loot spawns. I remember a few wipes ago when all the above ground high value loot areas were in place and it lead to some outrageous fights between PMCs. And this lasted the course of the WHOLE 40 MINUTES raid. There was actually enough loot to go around not just one or two hot spots that everyone would try and rush. It also had player PMCs staying in raid a long time and fighting off the player scavs to try and get to all the loot. Now it's just like you said @pestily , after the first 10 minutes all the PMCs are either underground and dead or on their way out of the map leaving hordes of scavs to pick over what little scraps of loot is left.
That's funny.. I've played tarkov 3 years now I think but I've never ever learned reserve lol.. told my mate this week we are playing reserve next week till our eyes bleed.. day later this is released lol
Unfortunately I was only able to understand half of the video because someone in my raid flipped a lever as an airdrop came I can still hear it and nothing else
You always cut it close with time on these guides, can you not bring stims to help with sprinting around? Either way nice updated guide. I really miss the sniper haven this used to be.
Sorry if you get this a lot, but... Lighthouse Map Guide when???!!! I am newb and don't know anything about lighthouse while always getting stuck on those beginner quests to lighthouse :(
the bigger question is: why can you use armored rigs but not armor with a rig That makes 0 sense 😂 It should either include all armors, or weight limit you depending on your strength.
Some of the worst spawns in the game are on this map. If you want to spend 10 minutes in the menu and the queue, only to get killed in the first 14 seconds (literally what happened to me multiple times yesterday) go ahead. I cannot bring myself to enjoy the map at all after all the misery I have been going through with my bolt action rifle (SBIH), being rushed by level 55 chads on spawn. Can't even get a chance to play the map to complete my quest.
i feel like he rushed those guides too much , as basic they are super fine but for example in this video he should have mentioned to look at the medpiles on the ground in the smp/ksm building. Those small things miss in every guide video so far , things expirienced people know through expierience and beginners could need.

So so true. Especially on a bunker map
The dynamic map in the top left corner is a brilliant idea, thanks

This, the interchange guide was 40 mins of darkness, which isn't super helpful if you're watching to learn a map you don't know.
We need the Lab map guide. A lot of us are trying to find thier MCCs. ))))
he did one!
This is a legendary video. Informative, doesn't waste your time, and marked well so I can come back and find the bit I need on the fly.

Thanks for this Pest! This helps me break my fear of Reserve!
On top of the queen building, underneath the antenna I’ve gotten some good stuffs aswell from the gun box if/when it spawns there too
thank you for saving me from so many shitty scav runs to learn because i really just ran circles through apartments and underground and found nothing because i dont know how to navigate to loot without keys
Captain Price is really knowledgable and helpful 🙂
Pestily the goat back at it again
Dome = Queen, at least if you name them according to the chess symbols
Which people don't do...
I main this map as a scav, I've found SO many MFD in the filing cabinets that I made all my money at the beginning of the wipe without even needing to work towards the bitcoin farm.
I would say Reserve is one of my top maps for money farming.
As someone who only plays streets i needed this
Yeah, these really help me go to maps that I have never been to
Their first album was great but they went downhill after that.
Thanks for the helpful videos!
Reserve is my second favourite, I would love to see it expanded again just a little but even if they never do, I still love playing reserve.
they could remodel the outer areas where you often get spawn killed
just add some bushes, a couple of tanks as cover or sth so people actually have a chance to move away from there 🙏😂
@@Squee7e Yeah kinda like what they've done with wood for the btr, yeah that would be good
you got me into tarkov daddy pest, ironically you also got me out of tarkov. after a year of tarkov break you are the only tarkov content creator i watch. keep up the good work, big love from a random yt account 😂
the Lever is for the Bunker Hermetic Door, the Depot Hermetic Door is the Scav Extract underground
in the little building near sewwe manhole, the barracks looking building with the bunk beds, i see 3 duffels in there consistently every time so thats some good easy loot
Thank you for not pulling the lever 😅
EEEEEEEHG EEEEEEEHG EEEEEEEHG EEEEEEEHG EEEEEEEHG EEEEEEEHG
Your welcome 😂
Should've done it at the beginning of the vid 😂😂
ill afk in there and hit the switch back to back ^.^ while I afk and watch this vid
Why you hate the griddy
Love you pest. I think it could be a good idea to do a full hideout guide.
Modded ak can be found in the train car inside the station also a few weapon boxes and in the back of the green truck inside black knight.
I paid 6 million ish for my red rebel - it was worth every penny - Reserve is a great map, but the toxicity of the extracts is incredible. Red rebel completely changes that.
Couldnt agree more i bought one for about the same, well worth it also this map has great loot and pvp currently my favorite
I waited til Jaeger lvl 3 for the barter because it’s much cheaper money wise but overall agreed. Before that I was taking my chances hitting D2 with under 3 minutes in raid.

Agreed absolutely. They need to add more extracts to the map that dont have silly stipulations.
it's crazy being in queen and hearing 4 separate groups extract via the red rebel within about 3-4 minutes
Hitting the lever for hermetic door also gives a chance to spawn raiders if i remember correctly, like when you hit d2 power switch but you can hit hermetic lever every like 5 minutes
Other than streets and labs, reserve is I think the last map that I don’t know really well. For some reason ive just never really cared for us aesthetically, and I’ve heard so many mixed things. People either love it or hate it it seems like.
i wish they would bring back good loose loot to all maps :(
Yep it pained me to hear, loot used to be good here, or this used to spawn here but not anymore all throughout the video
You didn’t crawl under the awing by the chopper the dead body and bag spot. I’ve found a Bitcoin 3 times in there too.
Wants to keep it a secret! 😂
What map did you use in the corner? Ive tried map genie and it still confuses me lol
Prapors bunker missions refer to Server building as King. So its in writing in game at least.
Dome is queen. Dome is also south. 😂
Buen video, y bien explicado!!
As a new player, I dont really understand what the "raiders" are supposed to be? Is it a boss as well? Am I safe as a scav?
I wouldn't say you are safe. Raiders are boosted npcs, typically have better guns, ammo, armour and have more aggression and accuracy with more HP on body parts I think. They will aggro scavs, I think you can safely kill them as a scab with no rep loss as they are not scav faction. Labs also has raiders.

You can kill raiders as a scav and not lose scav repm i do ir early wipe for decent guns at start
I would consider doing this series as a duo with RedOpz. If you guys went in together you could show the angles for the new people, you could have some comedic relief, idk. Would be a fun twist to duo map guides with uncle Red.
Thanks for teaching me that impact grenade spot😂
Thank you for this. My least played map, absolutely hate it, level 32 and still on bunker part 2
Bunker part 2 would be so much nicer if you didn't have to hit every spot in one raid, and instead it was like Delicious Sausage where you could hit the locations individually, extract, and it would save your progress.
Same here aside from labs
Much love ❤
we need a labs guide next 🙏
ive been running scavs on reserve all wipe and have been getting nonstop gpus, i think they buffed the spawn rate on reserve
I bought a red rebel and made 15 mil in reserve this week
@lukealexanderrobertsthefir458 I've been thinking about buying one and you might of just made up my.mind. do you get camped a good bit at the extract?
I ran scav on reserve for the whole wipe knowing where to look and only found two GPUs... not even in the said spawns but in dufflebags. The loot is hella nerfed and needs balancing compared to streets and lighthouse tbh
@@lukealexanderrobertsthefir458how? I main reserve and never find shit. The best thing i found all month was an intel folder in office
Would’ve been hilarious if you had a buddy rat you in D-2 with an impact made. just at the top of the stairway as the extract timer was ticking.
i think all the modded ak spawns has gone down the shitter im Reserve Rat its the map i always play and i remeber like 4 wipes ago i had my whole stash filled with modded ak74 from reserve
Yea i am the same and I only have gotten 2 modded ak this wipen
It’s really dark and hard to see. Maybe on other videos can you use a flashlight? :) ❤️

Do u stream Today ?
It's crazy how they still haven't fixed the magical floor where items are under it.
Watch out for stankrat!
That's funny.. I've played tarkov 3 years now I think but I've never ever learned reserve lol.. told my mate this week we are playing reserve next week till our eyes bleed.. day later this is released lol
thanks for telling everyone about the black knight run pest
Unfortunately I was only able to understand half of the video because someone in my raid flipped a lever as an airdrop came I can still hear it and nothing else
You always cut it close with time on these guides, can you not bring stims to help with sprinting around? Either way nice updated guide. I really miss the sniper haven this used to be.
Right? And for fucks sake BRINNG A FLASHLIGHT so we can fuckin see!!!!
you could do spt for the map guides and just set bot to 0
SPT always uses an older version than LIVE, so there could be some differences depending on how far ahead LIVE is.
Do the lab next pls
Thanks Pest
You forgot the worse danger area on the map and thats the hanger spawns by pawn as that can end your raid in 2 seconds flat :(
the way he intentionally tried to gaslight us by saying we can all agree this is queen building while staring at king has me laughing and mad. lol
Please do a labs video
Love the guide but its hard to see when you go into darker buildings
KINDA BLOWING UP MY SPOT HERE
Can't imagine Reserve without the Bunker lol
Sorry if you get this a lot, but... Lighthouse Map Guide when???!!! I am newb and don't know anything about lighthouse while always getting stuck on those beginner quests to lighthouse :(
what is the military LARP reason you cant use bodyarmor to rapell
the bigger question is: why can you use armored rigs but not armor with a rig
That makes 0 sense 😂
It should either include all armors, or weight limit you depending on your strength.
The idea is that you are too stiff to rappel effectively, and probably too heavy. IRL it's not really a thing except in very specific circumstances.
Bro use a flashlight. Doesn't help if we can't see what you're showing us
Also raiders can spawn when train comes in so just watch out for that. Easy way to die quickly.
The smoke grenades are broke as hell. See right through the smoke it looks like your wearing nods
Lighthouse pleaseeeeeeee
Words n stuff
You ran past 3-4 body armor repair kit spawns.
Uuuh, uegh😩21:42

Je suis content
I hope that one day we'll be able to destroy the fucking speakers that try to rip apart our ear drums when someone pulls that stupid lever...
❤
😊
A map with some horrible extracts. Not the worst but, boy is this map bad for getting out.
i feel like he rushed those guides too much , as basic they are super fine but for example in this video he should have mentioned to look at the medpiles on the ground in the smp/ksm building. Those small things miss in every guide video so far , things expirienced people know through expierience and beginners could need.
this comment is for the algo , i think this is long enough
Whattt is this the pest of old
tldr; this map used to be better
gg reserve is unplayable now thx for the map guide
