20:30 is a great reason why it's so important to have someone on your team with Serpent. An entire team can sneak in sometimes and set up with shotguns in the lair while you fight.
I agree I'm back playing again but I'm a complete n00b. Only 25 hours even though I bought the game a year ago. I keep playing and then something else comes along or I go back to Tarkov. I do like this game though a lot. Such wholesome gameplay.
I could watch this for hours. Feels good to see you play like this (the non 360-Noscope flicking way of playing) and also give really good tips that even very experienced players can use. You'll never stop learning.
yeah watching him constantly fling his camera all over the place especially while melee-ing is really annoying. In one of the recent Katana videos he missed someone because hes whipping his camera around every time he attacks with it. very irritating to watch. this videos type of gameplay is much more satisfying to watch
I thoroughly enjoy the guide style videos, with lot's of commentary, hearing your thought process etc. it's more entertaining than just watching you play. 👍
Hey! Its me Unexpected Poop. Guy who said " I got killed by sparks sniper" We thinking exactly the same thing (there is no solo, coz so many players died around) , i dont belive you are the real one when you pick up bounty :D
I never normally comment on anything but thanks to your loadout and tips I've just managed to get the Face-Ace Hand achievement. Keep up the hard work Rachta!
Great video and in a great format. As a newbie to the game I appreciate how you talk through what you are thinking of as you do it - these small comments bring up things I might not have thought of as a newbie. Enjoying your vids man, kep it up
I think it is worth mentioning, depending on your spawn, skipping the first compound and heading straight for the closest double clue compound will get you ahead of other bounty teams a lot of times. And if it doesn’t get you to the boss first it will give you time to prepare for fights against teams coming from their first clue. Like Rachta mentioned, speed is key as a solo. Take every opportunity you can to gain time over the enemy teams.
@@SirHeccwadThere are 3 double clue compounds per map: Port Reeker, Blanchett Graves, Healing Water's Church Lawson Station, Fort Carnick, Nichols Prison Weeping Stone, First Testimonial Church, Pelican Island Prison
This video gave me the courage to go solo into trios, and at my second match I actually fought 3 guys at once after they got boss bounty and I won. Thank you so much! Great video
41:20 now I know why they gave the lightfoot trait the cat symbol. Wow dude Rachta you are awesome. Thanks for the good guide. Hyped for the next one with sniper. Also I am happy that you also keep running into traps (even your own ones :D), so I know I am not the only one
With the steel balls ammo, the bomblance is my new favorite solo weapon when I'm not sniping. If you play smart you can wipe an entire team without anyone having any idea where you are
i love this sort oif videos, you are explaining every move u take and thats very interesting to see what u think and how u deal with every move the enemys are doin
At 19:39 this is a great advice! But i feel like they made the sound quieter and now you can hear foodsteps and so things. But i also changed my Audio settings maybe they for now the first tim good and people with good earphones could hear this since years
Great video! That's exactly what I was missing in your videos most of the time. Narrative what and why are you doing during the game. Thanks for the video Rachta!
Thanks for this, Rachta. I watched this during the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep and then I couldn't wait to try it. Never thought it would be this easy lol. Won every solo vs trio the next day with 1000+ moneys. On top of that I'm not nearly as stressed out as when I play with teammates. Strange huh?
A third solid solo weapon is a crossbow. The long reload can make certain situations hairy but typically you can split up your fights enough to allow you to get a reload. Pairing a crossbow with the Spitfire fmj is my favorite, you still have a longer range option with the pistol but that pistol can be used close range in a pinch as well.
Really really like this kind of content. I often feel like you need insane aim or shotgun to win 3v1 for the fast takedowns. Rifles are so hard to play EDIT: yeah you said exactly what i thought in the beginning. Any tips for rifle? Want to train aim with winfield c atm but always loose 1v3
If you are using rifles when you are outnumbered you need to control the range and angles, aim for heads and never fight more than one at the time if you can avoid it. It's easier to do with shotgun or sniper to gain their advantage, but it is still possible with rifle. Set up a lot of ambushes and if you don't get a fast headshot don't re-peak, and rotate to another angle instead. Use a lot of movement and peek different angles.
It’s really just not worth it with a Winfield but if you want to try then you’re gonna have to rely on ambushes and singling out fights. Levering is good for ambushes but you kinda have to rely on third parties, even holding a boss compound becomes much harder simply because you don’t have that 1-shot capability. Any straight up fight you take becomes risky, and even if you down someone you don’t have a good way to redown them if they only lost a 25 healthy bar.
Vetterli is great for solo rifle play, especially suppressed Follow up shots are forgiving, great sights for headshots, stealthy, and FMJ for versatility Pax fanning or scottfield spitfire is great for close range backup but hold their own in most fights anyway etc etc
@Luiz harder than shotguns for 1 vs 3 and compound fights, yes it is more difficult to use a rifle in this scenario In 1 vs 3 you need that headshot or you're pretty much dead - shotgun not so much I do understand what you're saying, rifles are real strong in the right hands - but regardless more skill based, happy it ain't hard for you
I'm just highly impressed with the fact that you saw the other player at 29:07. I've rewatched it like a hundred times now and I can't see anything there...Is there any way to train this sort of thing? I generally struggle to differentiate rubble and objects from players in hiding lol...
I watched the videos backwards (2 and then 1) but this was s very enjoyable series, and very educational! I have to remember to be safe in solos without self revive, but these videos are very good advice and well thought out!
Love this man, this some of your best content yet. edit: Is Greyhound ever worth taking as a solo? Or is that more of a useful perk if you're trying to chase down a team that's rushing to extract? I guess... is it ever worth taking?
Love the content, really helpful for new players! Using consumables effectively is something us noobs dont do well and is game changing. Keep them coming!
I would love a loadouts guide for solos, like what compliments which weapon and why, I'd love a dead eye solos guide, and always great content Rachta, thanks for taking the time to make it
Great Video Rachta! 99/100 I play solo so this is amazing! I will admit that out of all the event perks I REALLY hope solo necro stays. I will admit I can't wait to see what you do with a marksman or sniper load out....I've always struggled with those lol Prefer Aperture Lebel due to having issues with the scopes...Keep up the great work man!
36:55 evtl hilft es, über einen Zaun zu springen? Habe es mal beim 'Siegismund' gesehen .. er hatte zwar rote Balken, aber Vision als ob vergiftet .. über Zaun springen behob es Maybe it helps to jump over a fence? I saw it once at the 'Siegismund' .. he had red bars, but vision as if poisoned .. jumping over fence fixed it Video 8.Jan 22o3 Min 7:00
I read somewhere that if you get the poison bug you have to change something in your video settings and apply it then change it back. Never tried it though.
Great video! Of course it's a bit outdated now, with different balance changes and tweaks, but still it's an amazing source of positioning and overall tactics! Two thumbs up!
Also follow up I saw that you had made a Reddit post a bit ago about asking you questions but I was wondering if you have a recommended sound setting for playing? I play in a lot with my wife and friends and never feel like I have a solid sound mix. Sometimes it feels like I hear a melee from next compound but then others I miss a gun shot from 30 meters away and can’t figure out why.
At 29:05 how the hell did you see her. Idk if its just because I’m watching this on my phone but I don’t think I would have seen movement that quickly and that far away if I was in your shoes. Great solo guide btw.
How is permanent poison bug still not fixed? I remember I had this bug a few months ago as well when I was fighting assasin with poison hand crossbow ._. I think it only happens when you banish boss and get damaged by poison tick at the same time.
Are the trait points for each individual hunter and not for your account? So you should always use all the traits as you get them? Sorry, I got this over the weekend and am learning all I can... Ive got 1 extraction so far and won 1 QP.
My only 2 cents that I would add to Rachta's video is don't scare crows at spawn either. Everything in between the Spawn and Banish is fine ( map info, speed and positioning are more important) I have had a lot of people trolling that it doesn't matter because pros like Rachta...and I agree, but you also have to understand the game phases of a match. Just because the game doesn't tell when the start, early, mid and late game start and end it doesn't mean they don't exist. Crytek has "fixed" (its only a fix for casuals, honestly) spawn fights in the patch that added more spawn locations on maps and moved infamous ones (like getting sniped from Kingsnake when spawned at Moses) but 9/10 a spawn fight is lost; its because some griefer made TOO MUCH noise at spawn before grabbing the 1st clue and the other team ambushed kill 1-2 players easily.
Loved the format and all the tips. Definitely very useful, man! Thanks a lot. The thing is, though, that I can't kill anybody with a shotgun in melee. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong >.

Rachta Z- "stood still, easy headshot..."
Me- *misses*
*aim at head, 720 MLG flick next to him. *
that’s what we call a skill issue
I really love full solo long guide-ish videos. Gunsmack solo series got me into the game, happy to see you doing similar series! :D
Cool, I definitely recommend gunsmackk solo series aswell!

Rachta is superior 😈

@RachtaZ, I think I speak for all of us when I say we would love more content in this format.
I thoroughly enjoy the guide style videos, with lot's of commentary, hearing your thought process etc. it's more entertaining than just watching you play. 👍
I love this idea and you're helping everyone including the game itself. The more successful Hunt becomes the more successful your content becomes.

Amazing series. Please keep doing these kind of videos as a SOLO. Thank you!
I think it's gonna be one hell of a series! thanks Rachta dud
Great video and in a great format.
As a newbie to the game I appreciate how you talk through what you are thinking of as you do it - these small comments bring up things I might not have thought of as a newbie.
Enjoying your vids man, kep it up
I love watching you play, Rachta. The commentary, the style points, and the chill. Oh, also, when you say "BeEeeEEEeeTuLLL" Luv it.
Solid video. I'd love to see more content like this. Might I recommend a bullet point summary slide of key takeaways after each game in future videos?
I subscribed the moment you said "to make this loadout accessible to more people". This is a great format! keep it going man!
This is an exceptionally well formatted style of video. I’d love to see more like this.

The spawn between Golden and Blanc is a great example of this.
How do you know if it’s a double clue compound?

5:18 what is that little arrow to the top right of bridge.
41:20 now I know why they gave the lightfoot trait the cat symbol. Wow dude Rachta you are awesome.
Thanks for the good guide. Hyped for the next one with sniper.
Also I am happy that you also keep running into traps (even your own ones :D), so I know I am not the only one
why does he has a Hunter called Rachta Z ?😂

Yeah I’ve always wondered this

Great video Rachta loved it. that poison bug really sucks but it happens
Gets stuck in poison, has an idea to clear it with more poison:
"Ah, I think I made it worse."

Very informative and entertaining video Rachta! Shotguns are my favorite playstyle so I'll definitely be taking these tips to the Bayou!
Great video! That's exactly what I was missing in your videos most of the time. Narrative what and why are you doing during the game. Thanks for the video Rachta!
Hey there. Your level in this game just blows my mind, this was an awesome video!
As a "beginner" (
Thanks for this, Rachta. I watched this during the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep and then I couldn't wait to try it. Never thought it would be this easy lol.

Great insight on how you see the game! Great vid as always!
Love this format. Your educational gameplays are valuable to the community :)
I love how he explains everything for new players keep up with that

Great video! just a tip. when you have the infinite poison bug just vault over a ledge and it'll go away ;)
Love this man, this some of your best content yet.
edit: Is Greyhound ever worth taking as a solo? Or is that more of a useful perk if you're trying to chase down a team that's rushing to extract? I guess... is it ever worth taking?
Not worth since you can just get conduit
Great vid! Love that your reaper came with 2 team-based perks. That’s my luck too!
love your vids Rachta!
25:02 Is that was Ilya Naishuller? Hes streaming on twitch, playing on 5 stars
Revisiting these videos is helping a lot

this level of awareness in a house full of people is insane
I'll be trying solo play more often now that I have a better understanding, thanks for the video always enjoy them.
Nice video man, waiting for more :D
I guess I'll kill myself...in game - you said that in such a deadpan way, funny stuff
38:20
This actually helped me realize how stupidly I was playing before and my god what a difference from so many simple changes to my playstyle

I love this format.
these full longer videos are excellent
I always take decoy fuses with shotgun loadouts, the way it fuse noise masks your step sounds is amazing for pushes
how does ur game look so nice, i got the latest i7 processor and a 3080 so id love to see if i can get something similar
36:50 did the hive poison stop the full banish heal?
Rachta will bait you into not healing so he can oneshoot you with the throwing Axe from super far for contend xD
Been watching you for the past week as getting back into the game, Very funny and an amazing player, Much love from Jersey!
Great video. Love to see more games like this. 👍

What do you have with the last two stripes ? They kind of burned down, but they don't seem to be what's wrong with them? 4:01

amazing, looking forward to sniper part
I read somewhere that if you get the poison bug you have to change something in your video settings and apply it then change it back. Never tried it though.
yes it works i've tried it yesterday, its so dumb though
Great video! Of course it's a bit outdated now, with different balance changes and tweaks, but still it's an amazing source of positioning and overall tactics! Two thumbs up!
I searched in the comments and guess I'm going to be the only person asking but why do you have an advantage with left shoulder peaks with shotguns?
i can't go with beetle that fast has it nerfed?
It gives me peace of mind to know that I'm not the only one who gets hurt by his own traps.
Rachta, do you plan to make a video on "how to play bow". ? I love the concept, be brave for the next :)
38:21 Are you okay Rachta? It was kinda especific...
Such a great educational video ❤
Didn't even know that you can pickup your Beatle after a scan 😮😯😶
Maybe I’m dumb but when the armored hit him why does his health bar have the burned look to it?

How is permanent poison bug still not fixed? I remember I had this bug a few months ago as well when I was fighting assasin with poison hand crossbow ._.
I think it only happens when you banish boss and get damaged by poison tick at the same time.
Are the trait points for each individual hunter and not for your account? So you should always use all the traits as you get them?
Sorry, I got this over the weekend and am learning all I can... Ive got 1 extraction so far and won 1 QP.
How would you deal with the hunters throwing loads of frags grenades?
Looking forward to the sniper video. Though is it meant with scope because when I'm very far away enemies will just make it to an exit
My only 2 cents that I would add to Rachta's video is don't scare crows at spawn either. Everything in between the Spawn and Banish is fine ( map info, speed and positioning are more important) I have had a lot of people trolling that it doesn't matter because pros like Rachta...and I agree, but you also have to understand the game phases of a match. Just because the game doesn't tell when the start, early, mid and late game start and end it doesn't mean they don't exist.
Crytek has "fixed" (its only a fix for casuals, honestly) spawn fights in the patch that added more spawn locations on maps and moved infamous ones (like getting sniped from Kingsnake when spawned at Moses) but 9/10 a spawn fight is lost; its because some griefer made TOO MUCH noise at spawn before grabbing the 1st clue and the other team ambushed kill 1-2 players easily.
If you had a choice would you use the Rival instead of the Crown?
Loved the format and all the tips. Definitely very useful, man! Thanks a lot. The thing is, though, that I can't kill anybody with a shotgun in melee. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong >.
My man's really chilling comfortably with over a million hunt dollars, and here I thought I was rich with 20k lol
