If you're building a gun in the preset editor and need to do something (like moving the gun in your stash due to a "not enough space" error), you can do whatever you need to do, then press ESC to return to the preset editor without losing your build.
Disengaging from a fight is an Option. If you think you should not take a fight dont take it. Many new players seem to feel obligated to shoot every enemy they see.
My first wipe. The most precious piece of advice that everyone told me, but I desperately wanted to ignore is, IT'S ALL TEMPORARY. That gun? Temporary. That armor? Temporary. Unless you hoard things in your stash like a museum, none of it actually matters. That said, the quest you've been having trouble with? Temporary. You'll get it eventually. A certain map is Chad heavy? Temporary. Hideout/vendor/level progression frustrating? Temporary. Pain is temporary. Glory is forever.
2 very useful tips not mentioned - You can bind multiple items to the same slot by utilizing press and release in setting. For example I have a light bleed item always in my slot 4 and I have a heavy bleed item always in 5. The light bleed is set at press 4, the heavy is set at release 4. Now all I have tp do is quickly hit 4 if I have a bleed and it doesnt matter which one I have, it gets fixed. Tip #2 - When you move around, you do not male any turning sounds AT ALL as long as you are moving. Gor example turning lwft and right while sitting makes a horribly lound sound, but if you are in silent mode and creeping, you can yurn lwft or right as fast as you want and it make no sound apart from you creeping. So as long as your not overweight you wont make any noise
dont be afriad to run around naked or with just a pistol sometimes being tagged and cursed is a good thing. those scavs will have decent loadouts to use. and survival rate and K/D dont matter at all like he said at the end just have fun i find my best raid are when i load up into the mall with nothing on my person find a lvl 4/5 armor and a pistol with 3 bullets and head for scav camp
On the insurance screen or any of the pre raid screens you can press tab to go back to your inventory, then tab again to go back to whatever screen you were on
If you see the forums of EFT it's one of the most mature one also the discord. In other games it's UTTER HORRIBLE TRASH.. people that are extremely unpolite and bullies, not even in prison it's like that. EFT has one of the best people and it's not even enforced like Nazi Hinterland Games has done for The long Dark... it's actual adult people with a mature democratic philosophy approach. You are responsible, kudos, you are just not gonna have fun if you try to harass... infact harassers are not really in EFT... they have more fun elsewhere.
I love this statement too but it doesent change the fact that a few weeks into wipe your survivability plummets due to cheaters or no lifers getting the edge in the absolutely broken skill system
@@MrDeathero being able to sprint slightly farther or have slightly less recoil can extremely rarely be the sole blame for why you die in Tarkov. Also, cheaters are far less common than most people claim. I've had maybe 3-4 sus deaths in 300+ hours.
@@bbbbbbb51 No but a squad full lvl 40+ gear with meta guns can be. The whole reason why a fair few people I know dropped this game awhile ago. Also depends where you play. The amount of hacks you can find online goes to show how easily common they are and theyres alot of different varients of them..
Clearing a malfunction life hack. Re-bind “inspect weapon” and “clear chamber” to the same button. Make “clear chamber” active when the button is released…. Press to inspect release to clear malfunction. Your welcome!
Another good bind is to get used to toggle for ADS. You can then bind ADS to press, & hold breath to release. Now every time you ADS you have the stability of holding your breath without having to touch any other keys.
My tips would be: 1. Use the guns that you stash, otherwise you end up with 50 guns that you won't use because they're too good - you didn't pay for them, treat it as scav gear. Sometimes I mod these found weapons a little to my liking but generally speaking if it looks like a good gun I will save it and use it later, probably with a scope of my own choice. Don't just stash guns and let them collect dust, it's more fun to use them. Although modding your own weapon is also cool and if you're good you always have enough of stashed guns to chose from. 2. Disengage and flank. Some fights are just impossible to resolve head on or they feel like the enemy has the better position. What I learnt in 800 hours of this game is that people get extremely fixated on your last known position and even if they flank they usually have no patience for a big flank. You have high chances that if you disengage and are unseen, even after sometimes 15 minutes of flanking you'll see enemies not far away from the spot you last saw them/checking your last position. That also works both ways, be aware that you can be flanked, especially in prolonged fights so don't just sit in one place as even a proper flanking player only knows your last position and this is what they will be aiming to flank. 3. If you have trouble ranking up Jaeger sell him condensed milk, usually you lose next to nothing for that. For skier, above 60 durability ADARs for ~18k will break you even (though selling the lower to fence and all the rest to skier when it;s below 60 durability is still pretty okay way). 4. Use secure containers properly. Don't hide items that have no value when not found in raid in them unless you need them for a barter/craft/hideout. Right now a military filter is 500k but unless you need it for crafting it's nothing too special to a trader. If you're after cash, hide items that have most value to the traders in your container so that if you die you still earn the same-ish money. Other than that keep items like meds inside. CMS, Surv12, ibuprofen, vaseline, splints, these are all things that you often don't use every raid and spending money on them every raid actually adds up. Salewa, CMS, vaseline, hemostat, alu splint and you got 85k worth of meds in your pocket that you might lose. It saves SO MUCH money to just keep these "long-term" items in your container. 5. If you're building a gun, build it to the purpose you need it to be, there are times when "lowest recoil" is not the best build. Think about ergo, some snipers with silencer are a pain to use because they are sitting at 15-20 ergo which could get you killed. Perhaps slap as much ergo as you can if you're gonna suppress it, consider not suppressing - show them who's boss. Maybe size is important to you, some guns could be guns you're gonna switch for something better if you get a kill but maybe you don't want to wait a day for insurance to get it back to you, an MP-7 with 20 rounder, MP-9 with 20 rounder takes just 2 slots! Maybe you're going stash hunting and you want to maximise your space in your bag and you're bringing a weapon "just in case" then how about a just okay ADAR with 20 rounders? They take less space and you get 40 bullets in 2 slots instead of 30. So while often "low recoil" is the thing you;re looking for, sometimes it makes you forget that perhaps you need something else for your task.
THIS... playing Tarkov for the firs time and I have so many guns that I could arm a small army... I didnt count them but I still stugle with space in my maxed stash size even though I have many junk boxes, ammo boxes, weapons cases (around 10 now?). I would say that I overcame the gear fear to some degree, but the problem is the game itself. As I play it for the first time my focus is on quests and hideout obviously. I maxed out hideout already, but when I do quests it forces me to use specific weapons - especially bolt action rifles... right now I play most of the time as PMC and ignoring my rep 6+ scav because playing scav means bringing more problems with stash to me :D
@@sefin84 I hate the "use this and kill PMCs/Scavs" quests with passion, they're just annoying. I much more like quests like shooter born in heaven where they're a challenge and force you to play a certain way but you chose how to do it. I have like 18 guns right now with lvl3 stash and no containers, literally suffering from success, they're really good builds and sell for some 100k to mechanic so it just hurts selling them but it also means I never have to worry about guns unless I have a quest. One thing I did was I sold some M4s because I had not enough of good ammo to run them a lot but I;m nearing peacekeeper lvl4 so I'll bring out ALL the M4s out xD
@@sefin84 10 WEAPON CASES? LOL THATS YOUr issue unless there thic cases you want 2 tops and i just set them inside my thic items case and put attachments in them. also look for filler spots. Be suprised how many people have little gaps in between rows of diffrent shit. Every row has 10 slots if you dont use every row thats 10 spaces your missing every time. Also Keep all your boxes and shit at the bottom of the stash so you can dump shit you want to sell at top with a simple ctrl click out
@@Banzoz I have pretty good inventory management, but I somehow missed the fact that I can put weapons cases into thic items cases. I am going to rearange stuff a bit and maybe I get slightly more space, but man I am kind of hoarder. I am starting to think that I should sell almost everything and then just buy guns I actually want to use... since I wronte last time I have like 15 weapons cases, 1 thic weapons case, 1 thic items cases, 6 ammo boxes, 5 magazine boxes (finally decided to sell 2 junk boxes so I have only 1 now xD) and I have 8 item boxes, 3 medical boxes and 3 granade boxes, 3 food boxes, money case... . Everything full xD including stash except some small space to get stuff from scav and sell xD I dont know what other quests awaits me, but Iam currently having some Jeagers sniping to do and also shooter born in heaven - thats the most boring quest in the game imho. They should seriously rework a lot of quests to make them more fun and engaging rather than shit which forces to to camp certain areas etc.
One tip I love is binding slot 4 to press 4 and slot 5 to release 4. I put a heavy bleed med on slot 4 and a light bleed med on slot 5. This is great for a quick bleed fix mid fight. As long as the heavy is on press it will prioritize the heavy but if you only have a light bleed, it will ignore the press and fix the light bleed on release.
Thats a great tip. Along similar lines, I have reload set to Press R, switch fire rate on double tap R, and check ammo on hold R. Just so that all of my ammo related actions are on the same button. It does mean that I have to do without the "quick reload " option but it's not a big deal to me.
@@abeled76 If when you press it he starts one action then you have to hold it until done. But the point of this is that you just press it when your bleeding and he'll use whichever is needed.
that last tip was the most helpful one. im playing the game with my wife and we are realy bad in engagements but as long as we get a smile out of it we will keep trying
If you extract with your scav and want to do another scav run, just put your scav loadout on your pmc and run with him instead to lvl up and make use of the pouch.
@@Daddosaurus I have terrible gear fear. Just started playing a few weeks ago and have this stockpile of awesome guns I'm scared to take in the wild lol
@@Sveinn1984 it happens to everyone. Try to see it this way, if I'm too scared to take a certain gun into a raid, I used to sell it. Its like not wearing new shoes out because they might get dirty, just give it a go. Worst case, you lose a gearset, best case is you end up with tons more. You can always make the money back for another with a couple of scav runs 😊
You get used to it just remember every time you get scared by someone at some point that guy doing the scaring will be you and that is probably my favourite part of Tarkov some raids your the scaredy-cat and other raids your the monster in the dark.
Bruh this comment. When playing solo, no other game have I played that gets you so anxious, you physically come down from the adrenaline dump when you see the raid cleared screen. After a few hours I'm drained😭😂
My experience: I’ve played two wipes. My first wipe was last wipe and I didn’t even start from the beginning. I had major gear gear and didn’t know how to store or Tetris and didn’t understand ammo types. This wipe what I did differently is familiarized myself with a specific map. Ran it made money. Remembered the map like the back of my hand and moved on. I only scavd a specific map and knew where and what to get. Knew what to hold onto and what to sell. I have a dumb looking inventory but better then last wipe. I have two scav cases 6 items cases two thicc items cases 4 weapon cases and 50mil. If I wanna make money I scav and grab smart shit like m cable, sugar, lupo beans, condensed milk, etc. or I bought the right dorms keys and rushed safes and ran out. TLDR - learn maps stick to one for a bit if you have to. - BIND HEALING ITEMS - Learn what stims do. Propital OP - Learn what misc. items and gun parts are good to pick up and sell - Learn where rare ish items spawn i.e safe items like jewels or streamer items they always sell to therapist for good money with the exception of smoke mask sell to ragman - Get rid of gear fear - Learn ammos, can’t afford highest pen? Go higher flesh dmg and leg meta. - Everytime you find food eat it if you’re low - Run offline raids against scavs - Play with homies - Watch streamers, you’ll pick up tips and tricks they use
Lovely advice but like that's admittedly a *lot* of learning to do, and a ton of memorization. Although helpful, when trying to play a game and have fun, the idea of having to study it isn't all that fun.
@@KingSolidTails on the side of this though most games do require you to study/learn about them if you really want to be able to play competitively/actively (win). You can learn it all just through in game play, but it’s faster if you take some time to learn beforehand. I mean even if you go to one of the more basic games people know, Fortnite, the spawns for gear are static (the gear itself random) so you have to learn where things are, where people like to hide, what weapons are good and in what cases. The list can go on but still you’d have to take the time to learn about the game if you want to win.
The Tip that will safe alot of time for everyone: When you are in the insure Screen b4 the raid, press TAB to go back to your stash and grab whatever you forgot. Press Tab again and load into the raid!
When you’re cornered and you hear two or more people. And one of them goes to flank you. Just voip and say something like this. “Hey man, can your friend flank me a little faster please.” I find it usually destroys their sense of the element of surprise and can buy you some time. Also always bring a smoke grenade. 27$ so it’s usually cheaper than the scav knives. Smokes have saved my runs countless times. Also bring a bunch of mags for fire superiority and suppression because no one is going to peek you if you keep sending rounds at them.
My best tip is to not overvalue the top tier weapons, instead use funky combos like slug-shotties or low-end snipers with good bullets. It's so satisfying to lay down somewhere and wait for Mr.BigStack to show up for his slug-enema. The game awards laying low and listening carefully, so do just that while doing it in a way that is fun.
I'm learning as I gain access to traders that Ammo > Gun. An SKS with premium ammo beats out that chad m4 but garbage ammo in most situations. Also, If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck. ~George Washington.....Probably.
Btw, the instant reloading weapons during healing animations works whenever the gun isn't in your hands. You don't have to be just healing, you can switch to your side arm and load a mag by pressing tab, right clicking a mag and selecting install or right clicking the gun and selecting reload/unload
@@fraai I have a feeling they might at some point, but idk if it'll be a bonus from weapon skill or something similar, like repacking bullets into a magazine can be done while performing some other actions as well. They may go the way of the healing animation and make it so it has to be done with an animation tho, so that would be a more effective changed
I'm only 20 hrs in but loving the game. Hated the first play but a buddy gave me the best tip! It's an RPG not just a shooter. Enjoy the grind and lessons learned! You always win ,either lessons or gunfights . Both are fun if you just have the right mindset! Enjoy it!! And yea.... Learn the maps, finding the extracts can be a right pain !!!!
If you die alot, bring food and water with you and just wait out first 15-20 min of the raid, most heavy players will generally fight it out/extract and you can continue with your game. This helped me alot at the start. Another Tip is as PMC just bring a pistol, and find good comfy corner, scavs will rush you because you're under geared and you can then easily take them down and loot up if you're broke :)
@@DaDaDo661 yes. You become "tagged and cursed". Usually if you only bring a hatchet or a pistol with no armor. Tagged and cursed will make all scavs go to your position and shoot on sight.
@@DaDaDo661 If ur kit is below a certain value treshhold so barely anything or hatchling the scavs will know ur location no matter where u and them are on the map. it does go away after you gear up but personally its like 5-10 min to be untagged
@@DaDaDo661 Its a nerf to prevent the rat gremoin syndrom. It was a real epidemic to get geared and go on a map and loot gremlins took all the good stuff cause they were naked and much more faster than the geared PMCs. But its a good way if you in a group and need many scav kills for a quest. ;) take one naked with you and set up the trap. Or night raid in Factory if you want to farm for keays in Scavs.
Tips from someone whose first serious shooter was tarkov: Don't pay too much attention to your statistics, you can push every point in one way or another and nothing is really meaningful. Except for the "overall accuracy"^^ You can generate sales at Skier and Peacekeeper by exchanging Rubles for Dollars/Euros. Often the cheapest and fastest way. Single shot hip fire with the laser on ALWAYS hits where the laser is aimed, no matter how far away the enemy is. It is possible to play an entire wipe using just the Vepr 136 and its PS ammo. At both it never will! lack! It doesn't matter whether it's day 1 (a strong combination there) or just before the wipe.
REALLY nice, my tip would be to new players, dont be scared of loosing your equipment, just play with it. Play with friends if you can so they can save your gear. Also, go scav looting everytime you have it.
I posted a similar comment. It's all temporary. Even the bad stuff like difficult quests or a chad heavy map. Play more. Learn each time whether you live or die. Even if it's just a loose loot spot that you hadn't seen before.
“Play with friends if you can so they can save your gear”, or don’t and just learn that it’s ok to lose your gear. This is my first wipe and that has been the most liberating realization for me so far. It gets easier once you have a good stash of equipment and rubles built up.
When you are insuring your items right before looking for group, you can also press tab to go back to your stash. You can also press tab again to go back to the insurance menu.

Can't believe I didn't try using Page Up / Down before to scroll the stash. The flashlight blind fire tip is quite nice as well. One more reason to position ourselves for right side peeking. :) Regarding the UI volume thing, it's best to turn it off completely. There are so many subtle noises in Tarkov to listen for, that even really quiet UI sounds will get you killed eventually, or at least make you even more paranoid. :) As for tips, I recently learned of the really useful trick of binding multiple actions to the same key, by using the press and release functionality in the controls. It is really nice to be able to stop heavy and light bleeds with a single keybind this way (for example, I use the key '5' on press for hemo and on release for bandage), or to use exactly the grenade I want, by binding 'G' double press to one slot on the hotbar (I use it for flashbangs or smokes), 'G' single press to another (used for exploding nades perhaps), and 'G' release to the normal random grenade functionality, which pulls a random grenade if I don't set anything to the single press hotbar slot. Regarding keybinds, it can be useful to set your Use key together with a modifier like Shift as the secondary binding to prone (so Shift+F, if you use the default Use key). This way, when you search a container or body in the open, you can really easily go prone before the inventory opens (a hint though: it's not always a good idea to go prone in these situations). A tip for loadouts, if you want to kill players with the least investment, and at low trader levels, use shotguns (just not the TOZ). This way you can be lethal to the chadest of chads, with your whole loadout costing less than their weapons alone. Aim for stomachs or legs if possible, except when using flechette or AP-20 slugs. If you want to level the Metabolism skill and have limited provisions, don't eat / drink them at once if possible, but in units of 5-10 every 5 minutes or so. This way you can level your Metabolism a lot in longer raids. Also, the skill page lies, your Metabolism doesn't get XP if you eat / drink in the hideout. :)
When loading mags, if you right click on a mag and hover over "Load Mag" you can automatically load an ammo of your choice into the mag and completely fill it. Also helps you figure out how much of a certain ammunition you have left so you can prepare by buying more or less if you are worried about running out (or if you want to flex)
It's an alright tip, but imo it's ideal to load the top half of your mags with good ammo & the bottom half with worse ammo until you're stacked on bullets. You can still use the method you've described to easily pull out the ammo you want quickly. Let's say you're loading up 2 mags, fill one with good ammo, one with worse ammo, empty them both, half the stacks, & load up. I think tips for quickly managing your inventory & stash are viral so you spend more time actually playing the game instead.
Tip for recoil control: EFT has similar recoil mechanic to something like Counter Strike. You typically only have to pull down once and not continuously before automatic recoil control kicks in. Thus it is more beneficial to tighten up horizontal recoil rather than vertical. Also ALWAYS use a light/laser/IR when in a gunfight and don’t underestimate shoulder-firing.
I always use the red light that you can't really see. It helps sooo well with hipfire and I use the slanted grip to hipfire. If you have the slanted grip, and look at the knuckle of the middle finger and go up to line it up with the tip of your gun, thats where hipfire is. This way, people can't see your laser and get your position :)
EFT recoil is nothing like counter strike lol. CS has set recoil patterns for every gun that’s are exactly the same every time, and once you learn these patterns you can pull with them. Guns in tarkov do not have set recoil patterns. Like seriously. They aren’t similar at all. Have you even played Cs?
@@cha0ss0ldier-4 ikr? Cs is the only other shooter I've played consistently & my muscle memory was fucking over my sprays in Tarkov. Took a long while to unlearn it.
when you are in the "edit preset" mode modding a gun, and you didn't save it, so you have to go buy a part that isn't listed. Click on the flea market tab below on the bottom right to go buy your item, or find it/examine it. Then hit tab/esc, it will take you back to your edit preset without you losing the build. Put the part on, save it this time, hit assemble button, done
If you're new to tarkov or brand new to PC gaming and got a PC to learn to play tarkov, try single player tarkov first. It will let you get the basics down, learn maps, gear, ammo effectiveness, etc at a slower pace without risk of dying in the first 3 minutes of a game
@@warlockiii1846 single player tarkov is a mod for eft. It let's you Play the game without other players and you keep everything you find in raid as well as the experience you would gain.
@@warlockiii1846 Theres a single player mod that makes the game offline where you can progress and fight pmc that use rogue and raider AI. Still challenging and fun. its called spt aki. It has all the features of regular eft but you're not playing real players. Its not for everyone but still a great learning tool for beginners. Theres plenty of videos on it on youtube, search spt aki or single player tarkov and it will pop up. It also has mod support and a fairly large community around it.
I hadn't really messed with Jaeger tasks or bolt actions & I'm above level 30 now. Decided to finally pump through his bolt action tasks, & I've fallen in love with the mosin. Even completely stock the gun is a blast to use. Great for scav kills, but also good practice for making your first shot count in pmc engagements. Clapped a geared duo doing a naked mosin run just yesterday. Feels so good pulling in 500k a few minutes from a naked run firing only 2 lps rounds lmfao.
This is my first wipe and I come from stealth games mainly so avoid the CQBs as much as I can. I find learning the autopilot player routes the more effective than learning how to push corners/prefire. If you're not good at pushing corners in a building. Consider exiting the building or that CQB zone altogether and think about where your opponent is possibly headed and ambush them down the line or bait them to a more favorable zone to fight in. Also lying down peak shooting is very strong. Will turn a gun with notable recoil to very little recoil.
This was one of the best Tarkov videos Ive ever seen. I got this game ages ago like 2018 and haven't touched it because of all thr meta talk and stuff and the if you dont quest youll fall behind. Think Ill play for fun and just let it be.
I disagree. You can not get decent ammo without leveling your traders. 100% you will be behind and getting railed with AP-20 or M995, etc being late into the wipe.
Yeah never, ever use gamma sliders. These are lossy. Enjoy your 6-bit image. There is gamma+contrast control on your monitor or TV, which is lossless for most of the control range. Sheesh.
1. When you use Flea Market, you can easily put your mouse on the middle top text "Flea Market" then fastly refresh the market over and over again by pressing space 2. While going to raid, when you are in the insurance screen, press TAB to quickly go back to the stash, you can change your gear and then press TAB again to get back there
If you go down a Hill and u drop a small height it makes a dropping Sound like if you jump. But as long as you just walk down and Fall the small height the Sound is only hearable for you. Other players wont hear you drop. So Keep that in mind
I have an awesome tip. Don't ignore your scav. Scavs are basicly free money and you have more confidence with them BC you don't loose shit when you die
One small tip with VOIP is just listen to the tone of the person rather than wat they’re actually saying. It can help determine if they’re actually friendly or plotting something
1. Try to avoid left hand peeking and use right hand peeks 2. Utilize free look/leaning frequently 3. Learn how to jiggle peek corners and jump check doors and hallways 4. Pressing 1-0 while hovering over an item in your tac rig or pockets lets you hotkey it 5. Go for wide flanks in fights to get a different angle and confuse the enemy 6. If a person you killed is in a risky spot to loot, sometimes it's better to not loot them 7. Never get impatient when lining up a shot or pushing a fight. Tarkov rewards you for playing cautiously 8. Learn to play solo so that when you die, only you are to blame for your death. Playing solo also forces you to get better quickly 9. Everything is temporary so don't be afraid to run you best gear. It doesn't do any good sitting in your stash all wipe 10. Do your tasks because not only do they help you learn the maps and game, they allow to level up which unlocks higher trader levels as well as being able to purchase certain items and obtain quest rewards which make the game exponentially more enjoyable.
Do people hear you when you’re looting stuff like the sound the toolbox or body makes when you are looting it not when you’re pressing onto the body but as you are searching ?
Correction: at least now in .13, when ur thorax or head is blacked out, you can still tank shots to healthy limbs, but the second the blacked out part takes damage, even radiating from a blacked out limb, then it'll kill. ALSO, scav guns in .13 are MUCH better durability now. Its very viable to just repair and mod scav guns to use as they will only be slightly damaged.
Very good PVP tip escpecially for this wipe, If you are in a PVP situation wait until you hear the player pull out a grenade, if you are fast enough you'll get to him before he throws the nade or puts it back in his rig
Like you said I play the game as I like it. I'm a big AK fan which is why I have a LOT in my inventory and my fav rifle is the SR 25 due to how cool it looks, this is why even though I started only recently I got an Sr 25 fully modded from a pmc and still haven't used it because I like how it looks. I've been playing with an STM recently, I know it sucks and it's 9mm but I like it and I play with it and I don't care what people say because if I'm having fun with it I couldn't care less. If you enjoy playing only meta guns then good for you but just like that Mosin guy, it's a pretty freaking cool gun if he likes it then good for him, he's having fun in the game. What I said about the STM isn't gear fear don't confuse it with that, I know I would probably lose it and people would loot it off of me if I die but I still play with other guns and I have 0 gear fear. After all when you're starting out late in a wipe people are more likely to not pick up your things so that also helps to loose gear fear quickly. Play however you like and tarkov is for sure going to be your favorite game due to how many options and playstyles you can have.
At first glance, one would think the Tarkov community is incredibly toxic and like any community it can be- but I'm always surprised by the positivity from the players that play this. I'm almost 200 hours in and and I've learned a lot more my 2nd time around playing this. I still feel like a baby, currently trying to muster the courage to play this solo, but I'm having fun. I'll have even more fun if I can finally just get comfortable playing solo. I don't even mind dying, it gets out of a bad situation. 😂
EUL gaming, how do you motivate yourself to play solo? If i go in solo i get great pvp and all but it is exhausting and i cannot play for long. After lvl 36 or 37 I have lvl 4 prapor and basically i do not do any quests then anymore. At that point i lose motivation to play solo and it becomes more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.
Try mastering a map that you've been uncomfortable with. Play your favorite map, but at night time. You can also join our discord and try to make some new friends to squad up with. Also there is no shame in taking a short break from Tarkov. I just got Kappa and I'm taking a break from the constant grind to play more chill games like Valheim. After a week or two I'll come back to it. Also, you can try streaming while playing solo. Not to get "rich" or make some kind of career out of it, but just for fun.
I've come across similar problem in Tarkov and having less motivation to turn in. This is my first wipe and I have around 370hrs in game (I started when 12.12 was a month old), I'm lvl 38 with every trader lvl 4 (not the clothing dude as I hate Interchange and Mechanic as it's lvl 40), I have access to all good ammos and I have 33M roubles with 71M stash worth. I'm 10 SVD kills short from the Epsilon container (I have a standard edition) and that's really the last thing I'm interested to get. The game feels "completed" and there isn't that much interesting stuff anymore. Playing doesn't feel that "scary" or "punishing" anymore as I can just buy everything back if I die. Same goes for killing other PMC's, it doesn't feel nearly as rewarding as it did at the beggining simply because I don't need their stuff. At the begining I might've gotten some nice ammo or helmet that I didn't have access before and that added so much to the game. Even running a big ass backbag for the first time got me pumped up because I didn't want to lose it, now I have like 30 trizips and betas stacked in my stash. The game is dope, but it has really lost a lot of it's appeal with the progress. Maybe the game comes around again with the new wipe and everyone on the same line.
If you have the money to fund it, go on a wacky spree. Try some meme gun builds like double barrel AP20 and take on chads. Take the game less seriously. You die a lot but it's fun. Just my 2 cents...
I dom t like the bug exploitations ones also because they reduce the competition to just cheating and also the gamma suggestion.. Wrll that is unimmersive, but anyway a matter of taste somehow. Thanks. Loved this video. Can t take anymore too long ones... Best regards
On the weapons preset screen, If you're not sure if you have a mod unlocked or if it's too expensive to warrant building with, r-click search for item to check its price. Hit yes to the prompt without saving, then hit esc to go right back to where you were in the preset screen. I use this to quickly go back and forth when building kits out.
If you want to throw grenades close without bouncing them off the ground or a wall press right click instead of left click with the grenade in your hand and you'll underhand toss the grenade instead of full strength throw.
Solid tips. Don’t forget to hot key your meds so you don’t have to tab out, tag containers so you have an easier time associating what is in the container (mags and docs/sicc cases work too), and for those out there that don’t care about dirty plays - VoIP friendly while reloading to net you a win a little more often if you down bad. Hope this helps
@@JohnKimIGM lol I did it once early 12.12 and the other dude was actually cool enough to agree to go our own ways. I ended up dying to a scav because I didn’t ask to partner up. Lesson learned, should have finished the job 😂
another tip: "hip fire instead of aiming with laser / flashlight on close range cause u move faster so u are harder to hit and u still super accurate cause of laser" ahhh and 1 more tip - "dont expect full release of the game for the next 5 years" :D
Most important tip you for beginners you forgot is PRIORITIZE RIGHT HAND PEEKS OVER LEFT HAND PEEKS!!!! Also lasers give a pretty big boost to point fire accuracy
Central US servers tend to be less populated. I probably could have found a better word to describe what I meant. Try different servers and see which ones feel less full if that's what you're looking for. Select tons of servers if you want more PVP.
Loot fast. alt click and control click items. Been playing since 11.7 and some of the best advice is to hit headshots on scavs, if you didn't kill it in that one shot move or lean from cover. rogues and raiders have delays when you lean out as well, but are more than happy to spray you when full body peeking. it's better to sell gear for some money and use the standard level 3 helmet and level 4 diaper rig than it is to use the better gear and just lose it, trust me money matters when you're low experience. Learn the maps offline if you have to and have a second monitor or your phone with a map pulled up until you know the maps well enough. NEVER LAY DOWN OR CROUCH, when you are new prone and laying down WILL get you headshot and killed SO much faster than just standing upright to return fire. SCAV RUN, SCAV RUN, SCAV RUN, don't buy into that SHIT were people say scavs are for newbs or bad players, you NEED to scav on cooldown early on to get your experience and knowledge up. I STILL run scavs just for fun and for loot. always go for 35+ pen ammo, as most players and scavs will prioritize level 4 armor and level 3&4 helmets. SUPPRESSORS!!! trade ups for specific weapons will save you money, most other trade ups are worthless and you might as well sell the items and buy the one you want from the fleamarket. USE BATTLEBUDDY AND DATABASE FOR TARKOV APPS.
As someone with below 400hrs and is still shit and gear fearing I can add something myself. 1. Learn PMC spawn locations on maps you run the most. This can save you from 39sec long runs when you happen to run into near by players. Good example is 2 spawn points near Scav House on Woods. 2. Sniper rifles are very good when you are afraid of CQC and/or bad at shooting under pressure. Take a Gornostay, add scope, and you've got yourself a safe gun for just 35k. And you don't even need Flee Market access. Lay down on some rocks, camp in bushes or under trees and wait for your pray. Best near loot spots where they are likely to stop moving. 3. While using meds in raid or crafting materials, prioritize items that are not Found in Raid. Quest items such as food and meds can be used down to 1 durability before turning in. 4. For quick item price you can have Tarkov-Market opened in browser and you just alt-tab in, while you know you are in a safe spot. 5. Remember what items can be bartered with traders. This can net you some extra money. For example, you can collect every Lower half-mask and trade it with Ragman for PACA armor. Reshuffle it in your inv and you can resell it to him for extra profit. 6. Most important, dont try to get cocky if you see some Chad running on the horizon and you've got yourself some juicy loot. Chances are there's another one and you'll get [ Head, Eyes ] 7. Run scavs
4000 hours... I played Arma 3 for 7 years and only managed to scrape around 2200 hours, and I played that sheet in amd out😅 Thank you for thw advice, I was really struggling last night, I kept watching videos of how people are amazing at PVP while I load in, then when I get into a PVP fight I almost always die, got really frustrating because I don't know what kind of play style works best for me, I believe I am more Rat, but I want that agressive chad PVP, but I suck at PVP so I'm going back to Rat
1:01 Fuck my «схрон» man, 1490 hours for me but now you’ve opened my eyes a bit more. Damn, one of the really useful advices when you know basics Upd. Know almost all of your other tips, but this is really good video 👍🏼 Thanks a lot man
1 really good tip in my opinion is to always get the right hand peak. Its soooo op and may not seem it at first, but trust me you will be able to see more of a player than they can see of you. also don't die trying to get the right hand peak, if you cant get it its fine.
I quit Tarkov a while back (My first wipe,probably got 150 hours maybe) mostly because I never felt any type of mechanical improvement. No matter how much factory I ran against hard difficulty Scavs nothing ever really clicked. Not to mention the idea of playing the game for 4 months, suffering through people camping exits and quests just for it to wipe and have to go through all of that again never really clicked with me. Maybe its just not my game but I did enjoy some of the moments I had when things did click right and the people I met along the way.
Started playing One week ago but found a nice Bug/Glitch? If your Stamina is getting low and your PMC is breathing Heavily, just Scope in with a Weapon and press ALT, Heavy Breathing stops immediately.
you uhmmm yeah you ABSOLUTELY can fall behind in shitkov lol its less so in THIS wipe but yeah when kiddos are slinging zero recoil m4's and lvl 6's your not gonna do shit to him unless you brought leg rounds or a aim like shroud to tap the face with your rifle which does in fact have recoil. Remember everyone recoil saves lives and i dont mean yours ALWAYS use a low recoil rifle/smg pst gzh out of a pp19 will shit on any player in the game if you head tap them but a 80+ recoil rifle will almost always let you down
Not sure if the example was intentional or just selected at random but Dallas is probably not the server you want if you’re looking for “low pop” in the US. There are ~8M people in the metro area (4th largest in the US) and it has a pretty big esports scene. I’m not sure how those numbers translate to Tarkov specifically but you’d almost certainly be better off w/ St. Louis, Orlando, Miami, Denver, Atlanta, or Seattle. Another tip for getting low pop servers is to play at off hours for the region, so either staying up really late and playing locally or choosing a server that’s offset by ~12h, though it can be hard to hit the ping requirement if you’re playing on a server on the other side of the world. It also helps if you play night raids in off hours. I had a vacation coming up and didn’t want to die since I wouldn’t be around to collect insurance so I ran night raids 3 days in a row and maybe saw 3 other players, I had several raids where I was definitely the only PMC on the map.
Best way to get over gear fear (for me at least): It's all just pixels bro. Remember that its a game. Grab that pimped out M4 or that fancy M1A and go do a reserve raid. You'll feel much worse down the line when wipe day comes and that gun sat in your stash for 6 months only for you to say that once you have enough cash, you will use it. There will always be a chance to score a sick new loadout later on. Learn the stash routes, make money, do quests and then buy multiple loadouts of the gun and gear you like the most. Meta guns aren't everything. When was the last time you died to a scav by a head, eyes shot from a Toz or 7mm buckshot? Don't be afraid to try different guns out. At the end of it all, did the wipe suck cuz you died alot and let all those guns go to waste? Or did you have fun and learn more about each map and made a boatload of cash and had fun with the bois as scavs? It takes time, but you can do it. Go out there and escape my friend!
The best tip is be able to run the game over 60 fps lol, still can barely pull a stable 50 with a 2070 super 8gb 32gb ddr4 2666hz and an i5-9400f, Love tarkov, optimization sucks ass
Appreciate this vid man, I was running with a group before. But I'm just so bad that I always end up TK-ing some of them, mainly because of miscomms or I'm just too noob to the point they don't want to play with me and has watched one of their livestream talking about me being a noob and annoying so I ended up running solo so I can kill anyone that goes near me XD P.S this is my first ever wipe lol

Wow
If you're building a gun in the preset editor and need to do something (like moving the gun in your stash due to a "not enough space" error), you can do whatever you need to do, then press ESC to return to the preset editor without losing your build.
Disengaging from a fight is an Option. If you think you should not take a fight dont take it. Many new players seem to feel obligated to shoot every enemy they see.
At 3:00 i would instead use eft.monsters ammo chart, it's easier to know what is better.
I have had a blacked head and thorax is this a bug
My first wipe. The most precious piece of advice that everyone told me, but I desperately wanted to ignore is, IT'S ALL TEMPORARY. That gun? Temporary. That armor? Temporary. Unless you hoard things in your stash like a museum, none of it actually matters. That said, the quest you've been having trouble with? Temporary. You'll get it eventually. A certain map is Chad heavy? Temporary. Hideout/vendor/level progression frustrating? Temporary. Pain is temporary. Glory is forever.
This is a fucking great piece of an advice man
This should be pinned!
Not going to use it? SELL IT
This is my second wipe and I’ve learned that and it’s helped me so much 🤌 been having so much fun even though my survival rate is down about 20%
This just helped me
2 very useful tips not mentioned - You can bind multiple items to the same slot by utilizing press and release in setting. For example I have a light bleed item always in my slot 4 and I have a heavy bleed item always in 5. The light bleed is set at press 4, the heavy is set at release 4.
Now all I have tp do is quickly hit 4 if I have a bleed and it doesnt matter which one I have, it gets fixed.
Tip #2 - When you move around, you do not male any turning sounds AT ALL as long as you are moving. Gor example turning lwft and right while sitting makes a horribly lound sound, but if you are in silent mode and creeping, you can yurn lwft or right as fast as you want and it make no sound apart from you creeping. So as long as your not overweight you wont make any noise
dont be afriad to run around naked or with just a pistol sometimes being tagged and cursed is a good thing. those scavs will have decent loadouts to use. and survival rate and K/D dont matter at all like he said at the end just have fun i find my best raid are when i load up into the mall with nothing on my person find a lvl 4/5 armor and a pistol with 3 bullets and head for scav camp
1 tip i tell everyone dont left hand peak just hold the angle, but right hand peak all day
what have i learned after 100hours ? ABSOLUTLY NOTHING do i continue to play ? yea
On the insurance screen or any of the pre raid screens you can press tab to go back to your inventory, then tab again to go back to whatever screen you were on
also the traders
Bruh *FACEPALM*
they should just make a button for that option too like nobody knew until one guy discovered it a while ago
@@fraai bruhhh everyone knows that
@@fraai it's a well known feature to veterans of the game, was literally mentioned in patch notes years ago.
I love that everyone is giving more tips in the comments. This is so nice seeing this community not shit on each other for once. Lol.
ggez get gud
shut up :)
If you see the forums of EFT it's one of the most mature one also the discord. In other games it's UTTER HORRIBLE TRASH.. people that are extremely unpolite and bullies, not even in prison it's like that. EFT has one of the best people and it's not even enforced like Nazi Hinterland Games has done for The long Dark... it's actual adult people with a mature democratic philosophy approach. You are responsible, kudos, you are just not gonna have fun if you try to harass... infact harassers are not really in EFT... they have more fun elsewhere.
tarkov community is great, just by the fact that scav karma system (sometimes) works.
"theres no right or wrong way to play tarkov and you can't fall behind"
Damn I needed this. The pressure and addiction is real.
I love this statement too but it doesent change the fact that a few weeks into wipe your survivability plummets due to cheaters or no lifers getting the edge in the absolutely broken skill system
@@MrDeathero being able to sprint slightly farther or have slightly less recoil can extremely rarely be the sole blame for why you die in Tarkov.
Also, cheaters are far less common than most people claim. I've had maybe 3-4 sus deaths in 300+ hours.
@@bbbbbbb51 No but a squad full lvl 40+ gear with meta guns can be. The whole reason why a fair few people I know dropped this game awhile ago. Also depends where you play. The amount of hacks you can find online goes to show how easily common they are and theyres alot of different varients of them..
@@dontclap1 how often do you engage 4 squads and 4 elite squads alone?
Clearing a malfunction life hack. Re-bind “inspect weapon” and “clear chamber” to the same button. Make “clear chamber” active when the button is released…. Press to inspect release to clear malfunction. Your welcome!
fucking insane man, just tried it out :O
You are one smart cookie
Another good bind is to get used to toggle for ADS. You can then bind ADS to press, & hold breath to release. Now every time you ADS you have the stability of holding your breath without having to touch any other keys.

My tips would be:
1. Use the guns that you stash, otherwise you end up with 50 guns that you won't use because they're too good - you didn't pay for them, treat it as scav gear. Sometimes I mod these found weapons a little to my liking but generally speaking if it looks like a good gun I will save it and use it later, probably with a scope of my own choice. Don't just stash guns and let them collect dust, it's more fun to use them. Although modding your own weapon is also cool and if you're good you always have enough of stashed guns to chose from.
2. Disengage and flank. Some fights are just impossible to resolve head on or they feel like the enemy has the better position. What I learnt in 800 hours of this game is that people get extremely fixated on your last known position and even if they flank they usually have no patience for a big flank. You have high chances that if you disengage and are unseen, even after sometimes 15 minutes of flanking you'll see enemies not far away from the spot you last saw them/checking your last position. That also works both ways, be aware that you can be flanked, especially in prolonged fights so don't just sit in one place as even a proper flanking player only knows your last position and this is what they will be aiming to flank.
3. If you have trouble ranking up Jaeger sell him condensed milk, usually you lose next to nothing for that. For skier, above 60 durability ADARs for ~18k will break you even (though selling the lower to fence and all the rest to skier when it;s below 60 durability is still pretty okay way).
4. Use secure containers properly. Don't hide items that have no value when not found in raid in them unless you need them for a barter/craft/hideout. Right now a military filter is 500k but unless you need it for crafting it's nothing too special to a trader. If you're after cash, hide items that have most value to the traders in your container so that if you die you still earn the same-ish money. Other than that keep items like meds inside. CMS, Surv12, ibuprofen, vaseline, splints, these are all things that you often don't use every raid and spending money on them every raid actually adds up. Salewa, CMS, vaseline, hemostat, alu splint and you got 85k worth of meds in your pocket that you might lose. It saves SO MUCH money to just keep these "long-term" items in your container.
5. If you're building a gun, build it to the purpose you need it to be, there are times when "lowest recoil" is not the best build. Think about ergo, some snipers with silencer are a pain to use because they are sitting at 15-20 ergo which could get you killed. Perhaps slap as much ergo as you can if you're gonna suppress it, consider not suppressing - show them who's boss. Maybe size is important to you, some guns could be guns you're gonna switch for something better if you get a kill but maybe you don't want to wait a day for insurance to get it back to you, an MP-7 with 20 rounder, MP-9 with 20 rounder takes just 2 slots! Maybe you're going stash hunting and you want to maximise your space in your bag and you're bringing a weapon "just in case" then how about a just okay ADAR with 20 rounders? They take less space and you get 40 bullets in 2 slots instead of 30. So while often "low recoil" is the thing you;re looking for, sometimes it makes you forget that perhaps you need something else for your task.
I knew all these, but very well put!!!!
THIS... playing Tarkov for the firs time and I have so many guns that I could arm a small army... I didnt count them but I still stugle with space in my maxed stash size even though I have many junk boxes, ammo boxes, weapons cases (around 10 now?).
I would say that I overcame the gear fear to some degree, but the problem is the game itself. As I play it for the first time my focus is on quests and hideout obviously.
I maxed out hideout already, but when I do quests it forces me to use specific weapons - especially bolt action rifles... right now I play most of the time as PMC and ignoring my rep 6+ scav because playing scav means bringing more problems with stash to me :D
@@sefin84 I hate the "use this and kill PMCs/Scavs" quests with passion, they're just annoying. I much more like quests like shooter born in heaven where they're a challenge and force you to play a certain way but you chose how to do it.
I have like 18 guns right now with lvl3 stash and no containers, literally suffering from success, they're really good builds and sell for some 100k to mechanic so it just hurts selling them but it also means I never have to worry about guns unless I have a quest. One thing I did was I sold some M4s because I had not enough of good ammo to run them a lot but I;m nearing peacekeeper lvl4 so I'll bring out ALL the M4s out xD
@@sefin84 10 WEAPON CASES? LOL THATS YOUr issue unless there thic cases you want 2 tops and i just set them inside my thic items case and put attachments in them. also look for filler spots. Be suprised how many people have little gaps in between rows of diffrent shit. Every row has 10 slots if you dont use every row thats 10 spaces your missing every time. Also Keep all your boxes and shit at the bottom of the stash so you can dump shit you want to sell at top with a simple ctrl click out
@@Banzoz I have pretty good inventory management, but I somehow missed the fact that I can put weapons cases into thic items cases. I am going to rearange stuff a bit and maybe I get slightly more space, but man I am kind of hoarder.
I am starting to think that I should sell almost everything and then just buy guns I actually want to use...
since I wronte last time I have like 15 weapons cases, 1 thic weapons case, 1 thic items cases, 6 ammo boxes, 5 magazine boxes (finally decided to sell 2 junk boxes so I have only 1 now xD)
and I have 8 item boxes, 3 medical boxes and 3 granade boxes, 3 food boxes, money case... . Everything full xD including stash except some small space to get stuff from scav and sell xD
I dont know what other quests awaits me, but Iam currently having some Jeagers sniping to do and also shooter born in heaven - thats the most boring quest in the game imho. They should seriously rework a lot of quests to make them more fun and engaging rather than shit which forces to to camp certain areas etc.
One tip I love is binding slot 4 to press 4 and slot 5 to release 4. I put a heavy bleed med on slot 4 and a light bleed med on slot 5. This is great for a quick bleed fix mid fight. As long as the heavy is on press it will prioritize the heavy but if you only have a light bleed, it will ignore the press and fix the light bleed on release.
You sir, are a genius.
Thats a great tip.
Along similar lines, I have reload set to Press R, switch fire rate on double tap R, and check ammo on hold R. Just so that all of my ammo related actions are on the same button. It does mean that I have to do without the "quick reload " option but it's not a big deal to me.
do actions go into a queue? or do you need to hold 4 until you finish bandaging your heavy bleed, and then release to bandage the light?
@@abeled76 If when you press it he starts one action then you have to hold it until done. But the point of this is that you just press it when your bleeding and he'll use whichever is needed.
@@ZeeroDubs ah gotcha. thanks
that last tip was the most helpful one. im playing the game with my wife and we are realy bad in engagements but as long as we get a smile out of it we will keep trying
you won the game of life sir
If you extract with your scav and want to do another scav run, just put your scav loadout on your pmc and run with him instead to lvl up and make use of the pouch.
This is a brilliant idea, helps people with gear fear too
To add to this, for a free scav loadout scav into factory and v line it to the underground extract
Beeline cause bees take the most direct path from point a to b.
@@Daddosaurus I have terrible gear fear. Just started playing a few weeks ago and have this stockpile of awesome guns I'm scared to take in the wild lol
@@Sveinn1984 it happens to everyone. Try to see it this way, if I'm too scared to take a certain gun into a raid, I used to sell it. Its like not wearing new shoes out because they might get dirty, just give it a go. Worst case, you lose a gearset, best case is you end up with tons more. You can always make the money back for another with a couple of scav runs 😊
I have tarkov but my God is it scary it like playing a horror game
Also great vid will definitely put these tips to use if I play again
thats why it's so great. i almost only play night raids on my pmc and it can get quite scary in places like the resort.
You get used to it just remember every time you get scared by someone at some point that guy doing the scaring will be you and that is probably my favourite part of Tarkov some raids your the scaredy-cat and other raids your the monster in the dark.
@@bennY-lz3wd resort is so eerie during night raids. Especially when it’s dead silent.
Scav it up! Or build a kit you like and play in Offline vs the scavs. There's options for you!
Bruh this comment. When playing solo, no other game have I played that gets you so anxious, you physically come down from the adrenaline dump when you see the raid cleared screen. After a few hours I'm drained😭😂
My experience: I’ve played two wipes. My first wipe was last wipe and I didn’t even start from the beginning. I had major gear gear and didn’t know how to store or Tetris and didn’t understand ammo types. This wipe what I did differently is familiarized myself with a specific map. Ran it made money. Remembered the map like the back of my hand and moved on. I only scavd a specific map and knew where and what to get. Knew what to hold onto and what to sell. I have a dumb looking inventory but better then last wipe. I have two scav cases 6 items cases two thicc items cases 4 weapon cases and 50mil. If I wanna make money I scav and grab smart shit like m cable, sugar, lupo beans, condensed milk, etc. or I bought the right dorms keys and rushed safes and ran out.
TLDR
- learn maps stick to one for a bit if you have to.
- BIND HEALING ITEMS
- Learn what stims do. Propital OP
- Learn what misc. items and gun parts are good to pick up and sell
- Learn where rare ish items spawn i.e safe items like jewels or streamer items they always sell to therapist for good money with the exception of smoke mask sell to ragman
- Get rid of gear fear
- Learn ammos, can’t afford highest pen? Go higher flesh dmg and leg meta.
- Everytime you find food eat it if you’re low
- Run offline raids against scavs
- Play with homies
- Watch streamers, you’ll pick up tips and tricks they use
Lovely advice but like that's admittedly a *lot* of learning to do, and a ton of memorization. Although helpful, when trying to play a game and have fun, the idea of having to study it isn't all that fun.
@@KingSolidTails on the side of this though most games do require you to study/learn about them if you really want to be able to play competitively/actively (win). You can learn it all just through in game play, but it’s faster if you take some time to learn beforehand. I mean even if you go to one of the more basic games people know, Fortnite, the spawns for gear are static (the gear itself random) so you have to learn where things are, where people like to hide, what weapons are good and in what cases. The list can go on but still you’d have to take the time to learn about the game if you want to win.
The Tip that will safe alot of time for everyone: When you are in the insure Screen b4 the raid, press TAB to go back to your stash and grab whatever you forgot. Press Tab again and load into the raid!
Thanks !!
ohh tyty
The use of TAB must be explored and tried in different situation I have noticed in so many situations.. It's like a magic button.
This is my first wipe and I’m already at 450 hours ! Its the only game I’ve played since I bought eod I’m addicted ..
yeah happens to all of us i guess…
Goddamn dude
Same for me, first wipe and already addicted.
nice, my first wipe too and i started 25th of december. im at 817hours
@@nubsdeez6228 holy hell man
When you’re cornered and you hear two or more people. And one of them goes to flank you. Just voip and say something like this. “Hey man, can your friend flank me a little faster please.” I find it usually destroys their sense of the element of surprise and can buy you some time. Also always bring a smoke grenade. 27$ so it’s usually cheaper than the scav knives. Smokes have saved my runs countless times. Also bring a bunch of mags for fire superiority and suppression because no one is going to peek you if you keep sending rounds at them.
That pages up/down tip just added years to the life of my mouse wheel. Thank you, sir.
My best tip is to not overvalue the top tier weapons, instead use funky combos like slug-shotties or low-end snipers with good bullets. It's so satisfying to lay down somewhere and wait for Mr.BigStack to show up for his slug-enema.
The game awards laying low and listening carefully, so do just that while doing it in a way that is fun.
I'm learning as I gain access to traders that Ammo > Gun. An SKS with premium ammo beats out that chad m4 but garbage ammo in most situations.
Also, If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck. ~George Washington.....Probably.
I used the mp-133 with flech rounds and melted a guy with lvl 4 armor. By far one of the best rounds in the game
Btw, the instant reloading weapons during healing animations works whenever the gun isn't in your hands. You don't have to be just healing, you can switch to your side arm and load a mag by pressing tab, right clicking a mag and selecting install or right clicking the gun and selecting reload/unload
hopefully theyll change it because its just lame
@@fraai I have a feeling they might at some point, but idk if it'll be a bonus from weapon skill or something similar, like repacking bullets into a magazine can be done while performing some other actions as well. They may go the way of the healing animation and make it so it has to be done with an animation tho, so that would be a more effective changed
love the content and admire your dedication to this game.
there is really no other game quite like this, isn't it?
keep up the good work EUL!
It's one of a kind!
I'm only 20 hrs in but loving the game. Hated the first play but a buddy gave me the best tip!
It's an RPG not just a shooter. Enjoy the grind and lessons learned! You always win ,either lessons or gunfights . Both are fun if you just have the right mindset! Enjoy it!! And yea.... Learn the maps, finding the extracts can be a right pain !!!!
If you die alot, bring food and water with you and just wait out first 15-20 min of the raid, most heavy players will generally fight it out/extract and you can continue with your game. This helped me alot at the start. Another Tip is as PMC just bring a pistol, and find good comfy corner, scavs will rush you because you're under geared and you can then easily take them down and loot up if you're broke :)
Scavs treat you differently based on your loadout? Seriously?
@@DaDaDo661 yes. You become "tagged and cursed". Usually if you only bring a hatchet or a pistol with no armor. Tagged and cursed will make all scavs go to your position and shoot on sight.
@@DaDaDo661 If ur kit is below a certain value treshhold so barely anything or hatchling the scavs will know ur location no matter where u and them are on the map. it does go away after you gear up but personally its like 5-10 min to be untagged
@@Trixless interesting I've always geared up, but good to know
@@DaDaDo661 Its a nerf to prevent the rat gremoin syndrom. It was a real epidemic to get geared and go on a map and loot gremlins took all the good stuff cause they were naked and much more faster than the geared PMCs.
But its a good way if you in a group and need many scav kills for a quest. ;) take one naked with you and set up the trap. Or night raid in Factory if you want to farm for keays in Scavs.
Tips from someone whose first serious shooter was tarkov:
Don't pay too much attention to your statistics, you can push every point in one way or another and nothing is really meaningful. Except for the "overall accuracy"^^
You can generate sales at Skier and Peacekeeper by exchanging Rubles for Dollars/Euros. Often the cheapest and fastest way.
Single shot hip fire with the laser on ALWAYS hits where the laser is aimed, no matter how far away the enemy is.
It is possible to play an entire wipe using just the Vepr 136 and its PS ammo. At both it never will! lack! It doesn't matter whether it's day 1 (a strong combination there) or just before the wipe.
Use 7.62 US instead of PS
Almost the same stats but -30 recoil
@@stomodino5443 7.62 US has incerible low muzzle velocity. It drops very fast and it is alot harder to lead shots.
@@stomodino5443 US ammo is hot garbage
My first few wipes were that ahah.
The current wipe I've invested the most time into. Only lvl 17 tho lol
@@colinkelley2106 for me, all the «minus reckt_oil» ammo never worked. It literally didn't affect any of the guns I was using.
REALLY nice, my tip would be to new players, dont be scared of loosing your equipment, just play with it. Play with friends if you can so they can save your gear. Also, go scav looting everytime you have it.
Yep. Loot comes and goes, and it's all gonna get deleted in a few months anyways.
I posted a similar comment. It's all temporary. Even the bad stuff like difficult quests or a chad heavy map. Play more. Learn each time whether you live or die. Even if it's just a loose loot spot that you hadn't seen before.
“Play with friends if you can so they can save your gear”, or don’t and just learn that it’s ok to lose your gear. This is my first wipe and that has been the most liberating realization for me so far. It gets easier once you have a good stash of equipment and rubles built up.

When you are insuring your items right before looking for group, you can also press tab to go back to your stash. You can also press tab again to go back to the insurance menu.
Can't believe I didn't try using Page Up / Down before to scroll the stash. The flashlight blind fire tip is quite nice as well. One more reason to position ourselves for right side peeking. :)
Regarding the UI volume thing, it's best to turn it off completely. There are so many subtle noises in Tarkov to listen for, that even really quiet UI sounds will get you killed eventually, or at least make you even more paranoid. :)
As for tips, I recently learned of the really useful trick of binding multiple actions to the same key, by using the press and release functionality in the controls. It is really nice to be able to stop heavy and light bleeds with a single keybind this way (for example, I use the key '5' on press for hemo and on release for bandage), or to use exactly the grenade I want, by binding 'G' double press to one slot on the hotbar (I use it for flashbangs or smokes), 'G' single press to another (used for exploding nades perhaps), and 'G' release to the normal random grenade functionality, which pulls a random grenade if I don't set anything to the single press hotbar slot.
Regarding keybinds, it can be useful to set your Use key together with a modifier like Shift as the secondary binding to prone (so Shift+F, if you use the default Use key). This way, when you search a container or body in the open, you can really easily go prone before the inventory opens (a hint though: it's not always a good idea to go prone in these situations).
A tip for loadouts, if you want to kill players with the least investment, and at low trader levels, use shotguns (just not the TOZ). This way you can be lethal to the chadest of chads, with your whole loadout costing less than their weapons alone. Aim for stomachs or legs if possible, except when using flechette or AP-20 slugs.
If you want to level the Metabolism skill and have limited provisions, don't eat / drink them at once if possible, but in units of 5-10 every 5 minutes or so. This way you can level your Metabolism a lot in longer raids. Also, the skill page lies, your Metabolism doesn't get XP if you eat / drink in the hideout. :)
this is probably the best tarkov video i've ever seen. i was sad when it ended.
When loading mags, if you right click on a mag and hover over "Load Mag" you can automatically load an ammo of your choice into the mag and completely fill it. Also helps you figure out how much of a certain ammunition you have left so you can prepare by buying more or less if you are worried about running out (or if you want to flex)
It's an alright tip, but imo it's ideal to load the top half of your mags with good ammo & the bottom half with worse ammo until you're stacked on bullets.
You can still use the method you've described to easily pull out the ammo you want quickly. Let's say you're loading up 2 mags, fill one with good ammo, one with worse ammo, empty them both, half the stacks, & load up. I think tips for quickly managing your inventory & stash are viral so you spend more time actually playing the game instead.
Awesome video man!! Love to see these kinds of videos and these tips are great!
I have 1.2k hours and more than half of these tips I didn't know.
Thanks!
Tip for recoil control: EFT has similar recoil mechanic to something like Counter Strike. You typically only have to pull down once and not continuously before automatic recoil control kicks in. Thus it is more beneficial to tighten up horizontal recoil rather than vertical. Also ALWAYS use a light/laser/IR when in a gunfight and don’t underestimate shoulder-firing.
yeah lasers make hipfire super accurate.
I always use the red light that you can't really see. It helps sooo well with hipfire and I use the slanted grip to hipfire. If you have the slanted grip, and look at the knuckle of the middle finger and go up to line it up with the tip of your gun, thats where hipfire is. This way, people can't see your laser and get your position :)
EFT recoil is nothing like counter strike lol. CS has set recoil patterns for every gun that’s are exactly the same every time, and once you learn these patterns you can pull with them. Guns in tarkov do not have set recoil patterns.
Like seriously. They aren’t similar at all. Have you even played Cs?
@@cha0ss0ldier-4 id say its more like pub g with a splash of realism LMAO
@@cha0ss0ldier-4 ikr? Cs is the only other shooter I've played consistently & my muscle memory was fucking over my sprays in Tarkov. Took a long while to unlearn it.
when you are in the "edit preset" mode modding a gun, and you didn't save it, so you have to go buy a part that isn't listed. Click on the flea market tab below on the bottom right to go buy your item, or find it/examine it. Then hit tab/esc, it will take you back to your edit preset without you losing the build. Put the part on, save it this time, hit assemble button, done
If you're new to tarkov or brand new to PC gaming and got a PC to learn to play tarkov, try single player tarkov first. It will let you get the basics down, learn maps, gear, ammo effectiveness, etc at a slower pace without risk of dying in the first 3 minutes of a game
Do you mean the offline raids?
I'm a new player and absolutely lost. Thank god I know plenty about firearms, that saved me once
@@warlockiii1846 single player tarkov is a mod for eft. It let's you Play the game without other players and you keep everything you find in raid as well as the experience you would gain.
@@warlockiii1846 Theres a single player mod that makes the game offline where you can progress and fight pmc that use rogue and raider AI. Still challenging and fun. its called spt aki. It has all the features of regular eft but you're not playing real players. Its not for everyone but still a great learning tool for beginners. Theres plenty of videos on it on youtube, search spt aki or single player tarkov and it will pop up. It also has mod support and a fairly large community around it.
@@BattleMage69 I read that u can get banned for installing it. Is that true?
@@jakerrush yea but again a read that Nikita doesn't like that project and is ready to punish those using it
I hadn't really messed with Jaeger tasks or bolt actions & I'm above level 30 now. Decided to finally pump through his bolt action tasks, & I've fallen in love with the mosin. Even completely stock the gun is a blast to use. Great for scav kills, but also good practice for making your first shot count in pmc engagements. Clapped a geared duo doing a naked mosin run just yesterday. Feels so good pulling in 500k a few minutes from a naked run firing only 2 lps rounds lmfao.
This is my first wipe and I come from stealth games mainly so avoid the CQBs as much as I can. I find learning the autopilot player routes the more effective than learning how to push corners/prefire. If you're not good at pushing corners in a building. Consider exiting the building or that CQB zone altogether and think about where your opponent is possibly headed and ambush them down the line or bait them to a more favorable zone to fight in.
Also lying down peak shooting is very strong. Will turn a gun with notable recoil to very little recoil.
The game that we all “love”
Is this a reupload? I know i have seen this beford with the same intro.
This was one of the best Tarkov videos Ive ever seen. I got this game ages ago like 2018 and haven't touched it because of all thr meta talk and stuff and the if you dont quest youll fall behind. Think Ill play for fun and just let it be.
I have over 5k hours and still learnd 2-3 things new of this video!
I disagree. You can not get decent ammo without leveling your traders. 100% you will be behind and getting railed with AP-20 or M995, etc being late into the wipe.
Yeah never, ever use gamma sliders. These are lossy. Enjoy your 6-bit image. There is gamma+contrast control on your monitor or TV, which is lossless for most of the control range. Sheesh.
How do you have 4189 hours online and a 85day account lifetime.
4189÷24=174,5
1. When you use Flea Market, you can easily put your mouse on the middle top text "Flea Market" then fastly refresh the market over and over again by pressing space
2. While going to raid, when you are in the insurance screen, press TAB to quickly go back to the stash, you can change your gear and then press TAB again to get back there
If you go down a Hill and u drop a small height it makes a dropping Sound like if you jump. But as long as you just walk down and Fall the small height the Sound is only hearable for you. Other players wont hear you drop. So Keep that in mind
"Once he learned about my background in firearms" Immediate cringe when a video gamer says that.
I have an awesome tip. Don't ignore your scav. Scavs are basicly free money and you have more confidence with them BC you don't loose shit when you die
One small tip with VOIP is just listen to the tone of the person rather than wat they’re actually saying. It can help determine if they’re actually friendly or plotting something
Listen for bone crushing fear in their voice :)
remember to premed prefire and preshit your pants against tryhards pushing you
best tip: don't play this game. Wait until battlestate makes the game they really want to make, the open world shooter.
i've been playing since january 2020 and i didnt know about the page up/down tipp. i also didnt know about the instand reloading while healing.
Hell yeh
Sprint past doors while middle mouse looking to check if people are there, same with certain hallways and stuff like that
"There's no such thing as being bad at the game"
Challenge accepted
Great topic today my friend.
Pro tip: Escape.
1. Try to avoid left hand peeking and use right hand peeks 2. Utilize free look/leaning frequently 3. Learn how to jiggle peek corners and jump check doors and hallways 4. Pressing 1-0 while hovering over an item in your tac rig or pockets lets you hotkey it 5. Go for wide flanks in fights to get a different angle and confuse the enemy 6. If a person you killed is in a risky spot to loot, sometimes it's better to not loot them 7. Never get impatient when lining up a shot or pushing a fight. Tarkov rewards you for playing cautiously 8. Learn to play solo so that when you die, only you are to blame for your death. Playing solo also forces you to get better quickly 9. Everything is temporary so don't be afraid to run you best gear. It doesn't do any good sitting in your stash all wipe 10. Do your tasks because not only do they help you learn the maps and game, they allow to level up which unlocks higher trader levels as well as being able to purchase certain items and obtain quest rewards which make the game exponentially more enjoyable.
A small one: Try to eat/drink/heal when IN-RAID to lvl up your metabolism/health at a much faster rate than from stash!
They fixed that last wipe or one before. Metabolism levels fast in raid now, too.
Metabolism levels up in the stash now too
@@chiefinasmith i meant stash, certified smol brain moment^^
What's your background in firearms you refer to?
Nice
Do people hear you when you’re looting stuff like the sound the toolbox or body makes when you are looting it not when you’re pressing onto the body but as you are searching ?
yes
Correction: at least now in .13, when ur thorax or head is blacked out, you can still tank shots to healthy limbs, but the second the blacked out part takes damage, even radiating from a blacked out limb, then it'll kill.
ALSO, scav guns in .13 are MUCH better durability now. Its very viable to just repair and mod scav guns to use as they will only be slightly damaged.
Very good PVP tip escpecially for this wipe, If you are in a PVP situation wait until you hear the player pull out a grenade, if you are fast enough you'll get to him before he throws the nade or puts it back in his rig
concentrated, concise, and on point. 1k hours and a learned a few things. Have a like and a sub.
Low key best tip is the last one.
Like you said I play the game as I like it. I'm a big AK fan which is why I have a LOT in my inventory and my fav rifle is the SR 25 due to how cool it looks, this is why even though I started only recently I got an Sr 25 fully modded from a pmc and still haven't used it because I like how it looks. I've been playing with an STM recently, I know it sucks and it's 9mm but I like it and I play with it and I don't care what people say because if I'm having fun with it I couldn't care less. If you enjoy playing only meta guns then good for you but just like that Mosin guy, it's a pretty freaking cool gun if he likes it then good for him, he's having fun in the game. What I said about the STM isn't gear fear don't confuse it with that, I know I would probably lose it and people would loot it off of me if I die but I still play with other guns and I have 0 gear fear. After all when you're starting out late in a wipe people are more likely to not pick up your things so that also helps to loose gear fear quickly. Play however you like and tarkov is for sure going to be your favorite game due to how many options and playstyles you can have.
At first glance, one would think the Tarkov community is incredibly toxic and like any community it can be- but I'm always surprised by the positivity from the players that play this. I'm almost 200 hours in and and I've learned a lot more my 2nd time around playing this. I still feel like a baby, currently trying to muster the courage to play this solo, but I'm having fun. I'll have even more fun if I can finally just get comfortable playing solo. I don't even mind dying, it gets out of a bad situation. 😂
EUL gaming, how do you motivate yourself to play solo? If i go in solo i get great pvp and all but it is exhausting and i cannot play for long. After lvl 36 or 37 I have lvl 4 prapor and basically i do not do any quests then anymore. At that point i lose motivation to play solo and it becomes more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.
Try mastering a map that you've been uncomfortable with. Play your favorite map, but at night time. You can also join our discord and try to make some new friends to squad up with. Also there is no shame in taking a short break from Tarkov. I just got Kappa and I'm taking a break from the constant grind to play more chill games like Valheim. After a week or two I'll come back to it. Also, you can try streaming while playing solo. Not to get "rich" or make some kind of career out of it, but just for fun.
I've come across similar problem in Tarkov and having less motivation to turn in.
This is my first wipe and I have around 370hrs in game (I started when 12.12 was a month old), I'm lvl 38 with every trader lvl 4 (not the clothing dude as I hate Interchange and Mechanic as it's lvl 40), I have access to all good ammos and I have 33M roubles with 71M stash worth.
I'm 10 SVD kills short from the Epsilon container (I have a standard edition) and that's really the last thing I'm interested to get. The game feels "completed" and there isn't that much interesting stuff anymore. Playing doesn't feel that "scary" or "punishing" anymore as I can just buy everything back if I die. Same goes for killing other PMC's, it doesn't feel nearly as rewarding as it did at the beggining simply because I don't need their stuff. At the begining I might've gotten some nice ammo or helmet that I didn't have access before and that added so much to the game. Even running a big ass backbag for the first time got me pumped up because I didn't want to lose it, now I have like 30 trizips and betas stacked in my stash.
The game is dope, but it has really lost a lot of it's appeal with the progress. Maybe the game comes around again with the new wipe and everyone on the same line.
If you have the money to fund it, go on a wacky spree. Try some meme gun builds like double barrel AP20 and take on chads. Take the game less seriously. You die a lot but it's fun. Just my 2 cents...
I dom t like the bug exploitations ones also because they reduce the competition to just cheating and also the gamma suggestion.. Wrll that is unimmersive, but anyway a matter of taste somehow.
Thanks. Loved this video. Can t take anymore too long ones... Best regards
On the weapons preset screen, If you're not sure if you have a mod unlocked or if it's too expensive to warrant building with, r-click search for item to check its price. Hit yes to the prompt without saving, then hit esc to go right back to where you were in the preset screen. I use this to quickly go back and forth when building kits out.
If you want to throw grenades close without bouncing them off the ground or a wall press right click instead of left click with the grenade in your hand and you'll underhand toss the grenade instead of full strength throw.
EUL Gaming is my father
Thank you. Now here is a tip for you: go outside and touch some grass
exactly
Thank you!
The Doc clip was hilarious.
"no such thing as being bad at the game"
dont kid people lol
its a good message. if you want to improve in a certain way you can, but just have fun
5 wipes ago was the best era IMO i loved the risk involved of bringing Cases in your bag towards the end of the wipe so much fun times.
Solid tips. Don’t forget to hot key your meds so you don’t have to tab out, tag containers so you have an easier time associating what is in the container (mags and docs/sicc cases work too), and for those out there that don’t care about dirty plays - VoIP friendly while reloading to net you a win a little more often if you down bad. Hope this helps
That last one is precicely why I ignore voip and have zero hesitation to kill someone.
@@JohnKimIGM lol I did it once early 12.12 and the other dude was actually cool enough to agree to go our own ways. I ended up dying to a scav because I didn’t ask to partner up. Lesson learned, should have finished the job 😂
another tip: "hip fire instead of aiming with laser / flashlight on close range cause u move faster so u are harder to hit and u still super accurate cause of laser" ahhh and 1 more tip - "dont expect full release of the game for the next 5 years" :D
Most important tip you for beginners you forgot is PRIORITIZE RIGHT HAND PEEKS OVER LEFT HAND PEEKS!!!! Also lasers give a pretty big boost to point fire accuracy
love your videos bro, you inspire me to make better videos
That Doc edit was class😂
Love the tips but bro did you just say dallas texas isnt a major population center?
in terms of tarkov probs not
Central US servers tend to be less populated. I probably could have found a better word to describe what I meant. Try different servers and see which ones feel less full if that's what you're looking for. Select tons of servers if you want more PVP.
Youve got to
Know when to hold'em!
Know when to fold'em!
Know when to walk away
And Know when to run.😂
I live by it in tarkov ,it works
Loot fast. alt click and control click items. Been playing since 11.7 and some of the best advice is to hit headshots on scavs, if you didn't kill it in that one shot move or lean from cover. rogues and raiders have delays when you lean out as well, but are more than happy to spray you when full body peeking. it's better to sell gear for some money and use the standard level 3 helmet and level 4 diaper rig than it is to use the better gear and just lose it, trust me money matters when you're low experience. Learn the maps offline if you have to and have a second monitor or your phone with a map pulled up until you know the maps well enough. NEVER LAY DOWN OR CROUCH, when you are new prone and laying down WILL get you headshot and killed SO much faster than just standing upright to return fire. SCAV RUN, SCAV RUN, SCAV RUN, don't buy into that SHIT were people say scavs are for newbs or bad players, you NEED to scav on cooldown early on to get your experience and knowledge up. I STILL run scavs just for fun and for loot. always go for 35+ pen ammo, as most players and scavs will prioritize level 4 armor and level 3&4 helmets. SUPPRESSORS!!! trade ups for specific weapons will save you money, most other trade ups are worthless and you might as well sell the items and buy the one you want from the fleamarket.
USE BATTLEBUDDY AND DATABASE FOR TARKOV APPS.
As someone with below 400hrs and is still shit and gear fearing I can add something myself.
1. Learn PMC spawn locations on maps you run the most. This can save you from 39sec long runs when you happen to run into near by players. Good example is 2 spawn points near Scav House on Woods.
2. Sniper rifles are very good when you are afraid of CQC and/or bad at shooting under pressure. Take a Gornostay, add scope, and you've got yourself a safe gun for just 35k. And you don't even need Flee Market access. Lay down on some rocks, camp in bushes or under trees and wait for your pray. Best near loot spots where they are likely to stop moving.
3. While using meds in raid or crafting materials, prioritize items that are not Found in Raid. Quest items such as food and meds can be used down to 1 durability before turning in.
4. For quick item price you can have Tarkov-Market opened in browser and you just alt-tab in, while you know you are in a safe spot.
5. Remember what items can be bartered with traders. This can net you some extra money. For example, you can collect every Lower half-mask and trade it with Ragman for PACA armor. Reshuffle it in your inv and you can resell it to him for extra profit.
6. Most important, dont try to get cocky if you see some Chad running on the horizon and you've got yourself some juicy loot. Chances are there's another one and you'll get [ Head, Eyes ]
7. Run scavs
4000 hours... I played Arma 3 for 7 years and only managed to scrape around 2200 hours, and I played that sheet in amd out😅
Thank you for thw advice, I was really struggling last night, I kept watching videos of how people are amazing at PVP while I load in, then when I get into a PVP fight I almost always die, got really frustrating because I don't know what kind of play style works best for me, I believe I am more Rat, but I want that agressive chad PVP, but I suck at PVP so I'm going back to Rat
1:01 Fuck my «схрон» man, 1490 hours for me but now you’ve opened my eyes a bit more. Damn, one of the really useful advices when you know basics
Upd. Know almost all of your other tips, but this is really good video 👍🏼
Thanks a lot man
1 really good tip in my opinion is to always get the right hand peak. Its soooo op and may not seem it at first, but trust me you will be able to see more of a player than they can see of you. also don't die trying to get the right hand peak, if you cant get it its fine.
I quit Tarkov a while back (My first wipe,probably got 150 hours maybe) mostly because I never felt any type of mechanical improvement. No matter how much factory I ran against hard difficulty Scavs nothing ever really clicked. Not to mention the idea of playing the game for 4 months, suffering through people camping exits and quests just for it to wipe and have to go through all of that again never really clicked with me. Maybe its just not my game but I did enjoy some of the moments I had when things did click right and the people I met along the way.
Started playing One week ago but found a nice Bug/Glitch?
If your Stamina is getting low and your PMC is breathing Heavily, just Scope in with a Weapon and press ALT, Heavy Breathing stops immediately.
you uhmmm yeah you ABSOLUTELY can fall behind in shitkov lol its less so in THIS wipe but yeah when kiddos are slinging zero recoil m4's and lvl 6's your not gonna do shit to him unless you brought leg rounds or a aim like shroud to tap the face with your rifle which does in fact have recoil.
Remember everyone recoil saves lives and i dont mean yours ALWAYS use a low recoil rifle/smg pst gzh out of a pp19 will shit on any player in the game if you head tap them but a 80+ recoil rifle will almost always let you down
Not sure if the example was intentional or just selected at random but Dallas is probably not the server you want if you’re looking for “low pop” in the US. There are ~8M people in the metro area (4th largest in the US) and it has a pretty big esports scene.
I’m not sure how those numbers translate to Tarkov specifically but you’d almost certainly be better off w/ St. Louis, Orlando, Miami, Denver, Atlanta, or Seattle.
Another tip for getting low pop servers is to play at off hours for the region, so either staying up really late and playing locally or choosing a server that’s offset by ~12h, though it can be hard to hit the ping requirement if you’re playing on a server on the other side of the world.
It also helps if you play night raids in off hours. I had a vacation coming up and didn’t want to die since I wouldn’t be around to collect insurance so I ran night raids 3 days in a row and maybe saw 3 other players, I had several raids where I was definitely the only PMC on the map.
Amazing. I have almost 1500 hours now and i still got some great tips here i didn't already know about.
Another tip is make sure you have a way out before starting a fight. It gives you a chance to flank or just get out if ur not confident you’ll win
Best way to get over gear fear (for me at least): It's all just pixels bro. Remember that its a game. Grab that pimped out M4 or that fancy M1A and go do a reserve raid. You'll feel much worse down the line when wipe day comes and that gun sat in your stash for 6 months only for you to say that once you have enough cash, you will use it. There will always be a chance to score a sick new loadout later on. Learn the stash routes, make money, do quests and then buy multiple loadouts of the gun and gear you like the most. Meta guns aren't everything. When was the last time you died to a scav by a head, eyes shot from a Toz or 7mm buckshot? Don't be afraid to try different guns out. At the end of it all, did the wipe suck cuz you died alot and let all those guns go to waste? Or did you have fun and learn more about each map and made a boatload of cash and had fun with the bois as scavs? It takes time, but you can do it. Go out there and escape my friend!
The best tip is be able to run the game over 60 fps lol, still can barely pull a stable 50 with a 2070 super 8gb 32gb ddr4 2666hz and an i5-9400f, Love tarkov, optimization sucks ass
Appreciate this vid man, I was running with a group before. But I'm just so bad that I always end up TK-ing some of them, mainly because of miscomms or I'm just too noob to the point they don't want to play with me and has watched one of their livestream talking about me being a noob and annoying so I ended up running solo so I can kill anyone that goes near me XD
P.S this is my first ever wipe lol
