These map guides are so helpful as I progress through quests and have to play on new maps. I do have two pieces of feedback for later iterations. 1. At times it’s hard to keep track of where you are compared to everything else on the map. It would be awesome if in the corner of the screen you had a mini version of the maps you use at the end of a raid in your raid series to show pathing. Being able to see where you’re moving on the map itself throughout the whole video would be amazing. 2. A short overview of each PMC spawn point and suggestions of where to go first or what to be cautious of would be great. I know on this map and on customs you can run into other players within seconds at some of the spawns. So an overview explaining those spots would be super helpful.
Hey Pestily! Usually you have a little mini map top right with a red dot to follow you where you are on the map. It's super helpful and it's not there now!
@@xXNightsxShadowXx Thanks mate! I did it for myself and thought others might find it useful too because there were no timestamps in the video when it was uploaded.
Awesome as always just wanted to note 2 thing Pestily did not mention. If u flick the switch for the "Hermetic Door" extract, their is a chance it will spawn Raiders inside or infront of the Bunkers. Also if Gluhkar spawns at the "K-Buildings", the cargo train area Pestily shows @38:41 , when the Train arrives and Gluhkar and his Minions are alife and at that location they will then move over to the Trainstation and hold the Trainstation.
i slept on reserve for an enitre wipe and now i do all my scavs runs here and frequently come out with some sweet gear/loot. much better than all the other maps from my experience. I found after 2 or 3 scav runs i have a pretty solid bearing on the map and have a much better time extracting here than customs or factory. you just go in, loot gear off dead people, and leave. Sometimes even get a cheeky raider kill as well! doesnt always go well of course but videos like these sure make my odds better. thank you pestily
Very informative, I find the tactical tips particularly helpful. "Beware of ambush here", "This is a good spot to snipe from" is exactly the kind of pointers I like!
I didn't even reach the point where the train comes so you're definitly doing better than me atleast but then again that isn't laying the bar too high to be honest.
Took me 2 full 50 minute offline raids after all the pausing and self exploring I did, but this guide was awesome. I’m terrified of the bunker but I’ll at least know where I’m at on the map now! Thanks pest
Reserve was the last map I learned, the raiders, rats and chads, Glukhar, immense amount of player scavs, constant threat of snipers and D2 campers made it intimidating. Run it at night, bring a low cost weapon (PP-16 Vitzyaz is my go to, claps raiders and chads) and chart a loot run. You get so good at running the map, knowing which spots to avoid and when, or when to hit them. It constantly nets me around 500k in a ten minute time frame, and is now my favourite map. So much PVP diversity, so much great loot.
My god, Pixel Perfect video detailed tutorial for the Reserve Map. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Paul. Never stop doing what you're doing. God send.
Great content as usual. Just one suggestion though, maybe go for a full NVG setup when demoing dark areas. The speed you run through pointing at stuff/loot locations with just the flashlight makes it hard to follow for some of us slower noobs.
my secret to reserve: dont bring backpack, use manhole extract. you cant carry much, but its so so so easy to extract. if you come real kitted, bring a backpack though. use d2 or something
@@anuclearpan4554 scav, wait till the last 10-15 mins, loot PMC and scav corpses, and pick the remaining loot from the building, exfil. Relatively easy assuming manhole isn't being camped by snipers.
This was awesome, thank you so much for all the content you and your team put together. I play reserve everyday and you still taught me new ways to get around and places to keep an eye on that I wasn't before. You are the best Pestily.
To extract cliff descent (at least in offline mode, haven't tested in a live raid yet) you can be wearing an armored rig....but it must be a rig not body armor AND a rig
aye u know what it is im linking and commenting and watching ur vids at 2x speed full length (watch time is important) so the algorithm starts showing love again 113423 fucking get this man back in the recommendations dude .elets go franky recognized me in stream
Wow, I'm lvl 47, just started playing reserve and I got hooked. Great map, I just know very little about it. RUclips'd a map guide, and pestily literally uploaded a guide a few mins ago! Nicee
i learned reserve in the past 2 weeks after learning all the other maps (still labs to learn), and i regret not learning it first. i have made so much money on this map.
Same, but at the end of the day, 95% of the quests in the game are on other maps, so it makes sense to learn the others first. Or at least, it makes to not learn Reserv first.
this video showed up perfectly when i started learning this map yesterday i was running like chicken without head in underground bcs i didn't know where to go... yeah i know this sound radiculious
This is a lot of useful info, and I'm having a hard time following along he moves so quickly and if i look away for a few seconds he's in a new hallway, stairset, or through a door. Map is nuts
yeah I tried to really concentrate by watching this and the customs one at 1.5x speed but I spawned at the place at 43:32 and had a guy kill me 1 minute after spawning because I couldn't figure out how to exit, had no idea the already open door was the only way to get out I think and got killed with my back to it
The first time I played this map I ran as a Scav and didn’t know where anything was. One of the player Scavs found me and took pity I guess and used his key to get me some sweet loot. This game can be unforgiving but sometimes the community can be awesome!
Next to the newest marked room there is a inteligence spawn (room by the leaver) and also I found inteligence on file cabinet in the next room behind the glass and 2 Pestily plague masks in weapon boxes in thet room and office room next to it. Enjoy
For your map guides, I'd suggest wearing a helmet with a flashlight mounted. That way wherever you're looking is always lit up even while you're running.
FYI the first room he goes into AFTER unlocking the first door in black knight spawns graphics cards on the desk table (left hand side). I’ve found two there this wipe.
definitely the cliff descent extract if you have a red rebel, if not then d2 is pretty safe and if there's a camper they're usually in a predictable spot from my experience. I wouldn't hit the alarm and run to hermetic because hitting the alarm basically tells people where you are and lets them know you can extract. I only take hermetic if I am near the train yard and have loot on me and another player hits it so i can extract quickly
sewer manhole is also really safe but you cant have a backpack and could get sniped from dome, just dont stand completely still when extracting is what i do
can't figure out the jump at 41:10. Do you boost jump? Press D to someone get around the corner? Or do I just need a higher strength level than I have on scav runs?^^
So i dont get it. the tarkov wiki says i cant wear anyn armor rig or body armor for cliff descent but thats wrong? SO i could wear e.G a AVS and could get out when im having the RR and the paracord?
hella random, but in the station there is a weapon box underneath on of the platform,s you prone to get it, really easy. Almost never looted. And the small building with the marked room. In the room with the closet full of boxes. You find a ton of ammo packs, ive fopund 120 round boxes of 1k each rounds, just good to check
8:23 if this is RB-AK, 21:36 and this is RB-AK, and you don't find RB-AK useful because you can drop down, then would you also say that 8:23 is not useful?
There's a marking right heiyah, where a lot of scavs spawn. There's also loot next to here. But there's also something right Heiyah, that means this is coming right here. HEIYAH
2:30 holy shit that npc is an absolute machine. literally got shot in the nose with an SV-98, stays completely still, and casually takes out a medkit and jabs himself.
What would be your recommendation on a first run in reserve without any keys and low lvl? Like what area would i hit at low lvl and no keys? Thanks again for taking the time to show us noobs the ropes!
Great guide. Have to say I always find surviving Reserve difficult and early wipe extracting is a nightmare. Situation would be better if BS would scrap the scav+PMC extracts that nobody uses, that goes for Interchange too and instead make it another paid extract or something.
but have you ever watched smoke stream EFT? its honestly so wholesome when a scav and a pmc team up on reserve, also you get random items as a reward from fence when you do the scav+pmc extract (can be literally any item, even red keycard)...
@@eigillnordling2925 yeah but smoke is a streamer his audience will help him. You go try get a PMC friend when you're a scav see how it works out for you.
I watched this entire vid while loading into the map
lol sounds about right
Underrated comment
Hahahaha just took me 12 mins for a scav
All of that loading just to get a head,eyes from time to time
buy an NVME lol

Plot twist Pestily just wiped the whole map of people and he did this guide in an online raid.

Super helpful for a basic understanding of map layout, and I love the he points out common camping spots. Knowledge is power.
been watching this man since I started with tarkov in this wipe and his older videos are really funny to look at by contrast. Look at baby pestily man
The only map other than labs I don't run cause I don't understand it, this helps
Great content as usual.
Just one suggestion though, maybe go for a full NVG setup when demoing dark areas.
The speed you run through pointing at stuff/loot locations with just the flashlight makes it hard to follow for some of us slower noobs.
Been waiting for this one. I've extracted as a PMC maybe 2 out of 20 raids here and need every tiny piece of info I can get my hands on

Pestily out here pumping out map guides! Really helpful for newer players like me:)
As a pmc i did a group extract with 7 scavs, i invited one, and more just collected. It was great
Been waiting for this since you announced the map guides
Same
my fav map hands down, made so much money on it
M8 awesome brief was like a set of orders love that your belt feeding the info through ha ha

ayee this is the one i was after, perfecto!
Hello, I wish you did a Lighthouse map guide too. As a new player your map guides helped me a lot.
To extract cliff descent (at least in offline mode, haven't tested in a live raid yet) you can be wearing an armored rig....but it must be a rig not body armor AND a rig
you can also run a body armour and just put it in your backpack if you have space left

Covered everything and super informational. Only thing that you missed to cover was the intel spawns in the underground bunkers from white bishop.
You’re turning into my favorite Tarkov streamer.

The Reserve is like the world in the mithology; At the beginning there was chaos... and from the chaos appeared the gods...

Guys, what are the easiest and safest extracts on Reserve to start playing on this map?
definitely the cliff descent extract if you have a red rebel, if not then d2 is pretty safe and if there's a camper they're usually in a predictable spot from my experience. I wouldn't hit the alarm and run to hermetic because hitting the alarm basically tells people where you are and lets them know you can extract. I only take hermetic if I am near the train yard and have loot on me and another player hits it so i can extract quickly
sewer manhole is also really safe but you cant have a backpack and could get sniped from dome, just dont stand completely still when extracting is what i do
@@mlghaxx1421 so it's only backpack? I can wear everything else but not backpack right? Xd
why is your video so easy to see? everyhting is bright and colorful and im using post fx too, upping color, brightness chillwave, etc?

thnx! really helping guide!
Mad guide cheers
4:58 what gun is that and what is the hybrid scope called?
Nice! Super helpful
Thx i need learn to play this map.
Nice video, look like you need red rebel to extract safely for thos map otherwise its pretty risky
FYI 12.8 has fixed the raiders spawning in the underground area and they are tough so watch out!
can't figure out the jump at 41:10. Do you boost jump? Press D to someone get around the corner? Or do I just need a higher strength level than I have on scav runs?^^
So i dont get it. the tarkov wiki says i cant wear anyn armor rig or body armor for cliff descent but thats wrong? SO i could wear e.G a AVS and could get out when im having the RR and the paracord?

In the black Knight, you put 3 of the MP keys all as MP21

"Easy money" ;-) I like that statemement, but it is mostly false if you won't combine it with high probability of getting out.
I have a 40% survival rate overall, and a 60% survival rate on reserve. The secret is altyns and class 5 armor for pscav and pistoling protection.
