I would like to make a special note here, I even questioned even posting this season after how rough of a start I had. I'm not trying to give spoilers but I get punished harder than any other season of Hardcore I've ever done and I tried my best to play as good as I can and continue through it. So whilst I start off incredibly excited please keep this in mind while you watch Tarkov hurt me so much that I want to cry. Enjoy the series
Those two raids in reserve would been better on streets. More space to dodge players and more chances to get rations. U got punished for takin' a fast route. Keep it up, i hope u will get through this.
Love these rough starts in hardcore. If you just snowball into a bunch of loadouts early on, it ends up feeling more like a Raid series, but with tedious restrictions that hold you back on Gunsmith and hideout.
Yeah I don't play Tarkov anymore either but I love watching it, I really wanna get back into it but now they have like necessary quests on streets and my pc could already barely run maps like reserve and the few lighthouse raids I did do right after it released, I'm hoping they optimize the game some more so I can go back to play.
@@edge5688 I could but my pc can barely run maps like reserve and stuff at like 20-30 fps most of the time, so if I ever do go back to Tarkov it'll be after I get a new pc, because dealing with as many frame drops as I did from stuff like gunshots for as long as I did was too much.
@@TobyReibledon't want to be negative here, but realistically, that's not optimization issues when you can barely run the game. The hardware just can't keep up. And trust me I get it very well. I've played cs:s on very weak hardware back in the day - 30 fps was on the smallest maps with everything pulled down lower than ultra low with all the tricks I could find. I hope that you will be able to enjoy the game at a more stable fps soon enough and find a way to get some stronger hardware. Best of luck.
Pest at the beginning of video “this season I want to focus more on surviving” Also pest, backpack full, let’s spend 10 minutes trying to kill one player 😂
Thanks for releasing this Pestily. I don’t know how everyone else feels but I actually found it pretty interesting to see such a rough start from you for once and how you handle it.
I've been watching the hardcore series since season 4. amazing format! this is the truest form of tarkov. i can probably not play this season because of very limited time, but I am going to watch this series as i often as i can when i commute. looking forward to it.
You have to keep in mind the ease in which he got the guns in account for why he wouldn't wanna just leave with them. Because he has the guns he's able to more confidently loot up and find more loot as people kill eachother and scavs as opposed to spawning straight in to fresh lobbies. A lot of time it's safer to stay in an older lobby than it is to extract and go straight into a new one in tarkov.
Hey pest thank you for the content and getting me into tarkov really loving it so far, could you perhaps do a 10min video of best button maps and your settings please or the best setting to use. I think for the new guys this would help So much, cheers man
I haven’t watch the video yet, only the first minute. And the fact it cut him off when he said ‘I just wanna focus on survival a bit more’ suggests he’s gonna die a lot 😂 Thanks Pest for all the content you make for us, hours of videos every week, truly amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
As the man asked and prayed for a bigger gun, the tarkov god's showed him that there is infact a gun half the size of the one they gave him and sent him packing. Be grateful child.
You should do a wheel with all the maps on it and spin to determine which map to go to, when a task isn't involved. Or use channel points for a chat vote
as much as people may call it a rat tactic, going reserve and running for grenade cases to try to get quick kills on scavs/players for gear is a great way to start a hardcore play through. at least in my limited experience
the part where he raises his eyebrows and says " and better yet... a little gun" I was laughing so fucken hard idk if it was just me but i found that hilarious
“Dying in Tarkov is life” just keeps reminding me of when I laid down in a corner to go pee because I had to really bad and I come back dead… there goes a 800k mk47 and a slick
Great series. Two questions though. 1. Is the footage from VODs instead of screen capture? It seems to be VOD quality instead of screen capture like the RAID series. Unless its just RUclips encoding being too slow since its just been released. 2. Why do you never loot dead scavs? Dont they have good loot tables? I thought you could get pretty decent stuff on them, especially for hardcore, even if its a low % chance.
It's from recording, but until we get into the new studio all my recordings are only at around 15-20k bitrate. Otherwise I would never be able to get anything uploaded in time to edit
@@Pestily Fair enough. I'll still watch either way. Cant wait to see the new studio in action. Also, I did notice you looted lots of "dead scav" on Streets, but there's also lots you walk by. Was just wondering if you don't think they have good loot or why.
*Hardcore* series is by far my favourite series that *Pestily* does. Its so fun watching him go from nothing to something while starting out with literally nothing. Not even a knife
I would've been too paranoid to sit on the roof there, not normally worth that risk of being in the open. but fair play to that guy, dirty spot. g Fn g
47:44 - That's how you ruin a good joke. Fortunately Pestily was too distracted to notice :) (FYI the joke says "twins", not "identical twins", and that's the point)
And with this self imposed handicap pestily will surpass me in level in 4 episodes(just hit lvl12) and beat the game before I complete punisher 4 calling it now will update as I watch Love the content mate "now without further adu let's crack straight into it." ~greatest content creator on the net
Pest doesn't know about the gun boxes on the train cars in the Station at Reserve? One on top of the last train car, and 1-2 now a days in the train car you have to drop down to from the top of train onto the ramp stuck on the railing. Oh, he found it second time. There's a long gun case in the building behind factory. He didn't hit
Hey pest, just a little something. on the first raid you did actually spawn in the room where you have to break the window to get out, however they removed the glass there so you can just get out
While watching this, i got the best run ive ever had. Nothings been close. I ended up toting hime 6 weapons, 2 high tier armor rigs, a massive backpack the likes ive never seen before, a couple scopes, a top tiere upper for the m4, and a bunch of other goodies. I spawn in near the big building where you need a key to get into the upstairs officd. Sometimes has a sniper scav on the roof. Bottom left corner of the map i think. I do a lil looting, killed a usec that ran past me, and saw the airdrop was dropping maybe 34m away from where i was standing! I hole up in onw of the train containers and keep an eye out. Spsnd maybe 4 or 5 mins trying to grab as much loot as possible. It then takes 20 mins to make it to zb1011. I went the long way around because i knew if those scav goons were at the building in the middle id just be dead. Made it to the extract with 7 mins to spare. I also hade dorms v exfil and had roubles on me, but of vourse it didnt spawn THIS time. Just about every other time tho! One of the rifles was a mdr which i sold. Two subs that i can remember, mp9 and mpx, some ak, a m9a3 pistol. Sorry if i mess the names up, just now getting back into tarkov. Tldr, pestilily advice helped me score, and you can too! Hes a good wingman!
Thoughts on using the secure container as an open pocket. You can put anything in it but if u die you have to delete everything. So if u hatchet running with keys and have meds in secure container and die you have to delete the keys
Back from vacation and watching the first hardcore episode! Also means already watching Pestily progressing further on his hardcore account than me on my main account lol
I would like to make a special note here, I even questioned even posting this season after how rough of a start I had. I'm not trying to give spoilers but I get punished harder than any other season of Hardcore I've ever done and I tried my best to play as good as I can and continue through it.

Apologies for invoking this comment haha. I'll be watching regardless!
I've had my worst wipe so far too, went 0-6 in first six raids. A good W lifts the spirits.
My hardest start in tarkov ever. I'm not sure if other players are just better than me now but it seems much more difficult
Menu Timer is great!
Those two raids in reserve would been better on streets. More space to dodge players and more chances to get rations. U got punished for takin' a fast route. Keep it up, i hope u will get through this.
The initial quest of finding a gun is always my favorite part of hardcore, such a different way to play tarkov
The welyn impressions were so spot on
Thanks for bringing back Hardcore! Literally best thing on RUclips
Love these rough starts in hardcore. If you just snowball into a bunch of loadouts early on, it ends up feeling more like a Raid series, but with tedious restrictions that hold you back on Gunsmith and hideout.
Hell yeah I missed hardcore so much! I don’t play tarkov anymore so thanks for still making this series Pest!
Yeah I don't play Tarkov anymore either but I love watching it, I really wanna get back into it but now they have like necessary quests on streets and my pc could already barely run maps like reserve and the few lighthouse raids I did do right after it released, I'm hoping they optimize the game some more so I can go back to play.
Streets runs a bit better. Like def playable and you easily do some low risk night runs for the early tasks
@@edge5688 I could but my pc can barely run maps like reserve and stuff at like 20-30 fps most of the time, so if I ever do go back to Tarkov it'll be after I get a new pc, because dealing with as many frame drops as I did from stuff like gunshots for as long as I did was too much.
@@TobyReible Just go pro CS style and play the game at 640x480 stretched 4:3 lol. That'll shave off some framedrops.

Also pest, backpack full, let’s spend 10 minutes trying to kill one player 😂
i love the rust reference to welyn's videos you two are some of my favorite youtubers for tarkov, wish welyn uploaded more tarkov
Love the Welyn reference of spawning in on rust lmao
That intro was insane! Raid Series is always good, but there's something special about Hardcore.
Right!?!? That intro is top tier!
@@RIDDIM_GOBLIN
Thanks for releasing this Pestily. I don’t know how everyone else feels but I actually found it pretty interesting to see such a rough start from you for once and how you handle it.
really love how chat tries their best to entertain pest while he's struggling to survive his first raid...
love the energy and the effort!
I've been watching the hardcore series since season 4. amazing format! this is the truest form of tarkov. i can probably not play this season because of very limited time, but I am going to watch this series as i often as i can when i commute. looking forward to it.
Nice! 👌This start is so much more interesting than just having a full stash for multiple runs imo.
pestily: "we've got 21 energy, we should be fine"
me not loading into a lobby if i have less than 90%: "yeah you've got time"
That dude coming around the corner startled me and I'm nor even playing. Said "oh Sheyt" aloud 😂😂
Pestily to new players: "go fir the small wins; not every raid has to be big". Pestily to himself: " go BIG or ho home". Hugs. You do you bro.
i love those rust movies, such high production quality
One thing tarkov is doing better is I’ve noticed almost everything spin box. Green box everything is worth looking through now. I love it.
Episode 1 is my favorite part of hardcore
Yeahhhhh boy!!! Literally just started watching and can’t wait 😂
So frustrating to see him not leave. I feel like once you get two weapons and a rig you should be out asap.
You have to keep in mind the ease in which he got the guns in account for why he wouldn't wanna just leave with them. Because he has the guns he's able to more confidently loot up and find more loot as people kill eachother and scavs as opposed to spawning straight in to fresh lobbies. A lot of time it's safer to stay in an older lobby than it is to extract and go straight into a new one in tarkov.
Best intro so far for any hardcore season. Only catching up on this wipe now.
Just wanted to say that the menu timer that appears on screen when not in raid is absolutely amazing.
I have NEVER heard pestily's chat tell a joke that was even remotely funny
That was a great Welyn impression
man that first reserve raid was something else
Hey pest thank you for the content and getting me into tarkov really loving it so far, could you perhaps do a 10min video of best button maps and your settings please or the best setting to use. I think for the new guys this would help
So much, cheers man
I was literally yelling „LEAVE GODDAMMIT“ at the screen when he just stayed in the reserve raid trying to kill that player…
Hells yeah. Time for hardcore! Love the new intro btw ❤
thanks (:
19:00 jumpscared me quite a bit... bloody hell xD
I haven’t watch the video yet, only the first minute. And the fact it cut him off when he said ‘I just wanna focus on survival a bit more’ suggests he’s gonna die a lot 😂 Thanks Pest for all the content you make for us, hours of videos every week, truly amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sick intro, loved it. Just finished with season 9 so this is a welcome little plus. Best of luck m8. I love this shit.
This gonna be such a good one they are every year but I can tell this one is gonna be punishing 😂
can't wait to see the development of Pestily's "nyaaaah, see?" 1920's Gangster arc
As the man asked and prayed for a bigger gun, the tarkov god's showed him that there is infact a gun half the size of the one they gave him and sent him packing.
Be grateful child.
😊
C.R.E.A.M
Hardcore as well as the Raid, during subathon? Truly we are blessed. You who are about to die are saluted!
You should do a wheel with all the maps on it and spin to determine which map to go to, when a task isn't involved. Or use channel points for a chat vote
Saw the playlist yesterday! So glad this is back!!!!
After an especially crap night at work, my favorite series in all of youtube is waiting for me to decompress.
as much as people may call it a rat tactic, going reserve and running for grenade cases to try to get quick kills on scavs/players for gear is a great way to start a hardcore play through. at least in my limited experience
Been waiting for this. The true tarkov experience.
the part where he raises his eyebrows and says " and better yet... a little gun" I was laughing so fucken hard idk if it was just me but i found that hilarious
The gun jamming as he lines up shots on those players is priceless lmfao
MAAAnnnn these intros fuckin slap , absolutely love em . This and the raid intros are 10 outta 10 every season
thanks!
menu timer is a good addition
That Wellyn impression had me rolling
The Rust burn was fantastic 😂
That unlootable crate on Streets gets me every. single. time.
thank you been looking forward to this
“Dying in Tarkov is life” just keeps reminding me of when I laid down in a corner to go pee because I had to really bad and I come back dead… there goes a 800k mk47 and a slick
Wasnt expecting this, a pleasant surprise
Omg when he missed the weapon crate and ammo boxes on train roof. Lol
Great series. Two questions though.
1. Is the footage from VODs instead of screen capture? It seems to be VOD quality instead of screen capture like the RAID series. Unless its just RUclips encoding being too slow since its just been released.

my favorite yt series is finally back.
lol the shots at blueprint are priceless
@20:46 if you just move the magazine in the inventory you can see if it's full .it'll show 30/30
That welyn impression absolutely cracked me up
you made out of stone ? You made out of porcelain? No?? The how did he crack you up? Stop with the silly comments NOW!!!
The moment we’ve all been waiting for. It’s time
Best Weylin impression ever lol
This was an excellent watch! Pest had a rough go of it to start off.
Watching him drink the green tea needed for the Tarcon office key barter hurt me
great episode, that TTS was a trip lmao
I was really invested in the wife's boyfriend allowing the husband to watch storyline
Intro is amazing like always.
the hardest intro ive seen in awhile! it was sick af
I fuckin love the hard-core series....it also brought me back to Tarkov so......fuck yea
the rust thing made me smile
This Intro is awesome. Good job Narpha you filthy animal
thanks dude :)
*Hardcore* series is by far my favourite series that *Pestily* does. Its so fun watching him go from nothing to something while starting out with literally nothing. Not even a knife
Welyn would be proud of that intro.
Spawns in one of the most pinched, spawns on all fronts spawn on Reserve, Ahhh yes, GOOD SPAWN!
I would've been too paranoid to sit on the roof there, not normally worth that risk of being in the open. but fair play to that guy, dirty spot. g Fn g

My favorite series
Great to see Pest having such a blast again.
Pestily is a winner because he tells the stories, he doesn't let chat tell the stories for him.
Welyn impression go hard
The intros just keep getting BETTER & BETTER
Pest doesn't know about the gun boxes on the train cars in the Station at Reserve? One on top of the last train car, and 1-2 now a days in the train car you have to drop down to from the top of train onto the ramp stuck on the railing.
Oh, he found it second time. There's a long gun case in the building behind factory. He didn't hit
All the TTS jokes really change the mood of hardcore lol.
It is annoying tbh. Toooooo many.
Hey pest, just a little something. on the first raid you did actually spawn in the room where you have to break the window to get out, however they removed the glass there so you can just get out
Love the Wiljum imitation

My man gets down to his bare fists and still surviving longer than I do outfitted like I'm a one man army.
Thoughts on using the secure container as an open pocket. You can put anything in it but if u die you have to delete everything. So if u hatchet running with keys and have meds in secure container and die you have to delete the keys
You'll forget and end up keeping items. But you do you. 😃
Best series, love watching
Intro is very cool. Thanks guys.
This is true hardcore and I'm here for it!
idk why but pest is unhinged in this video and i love it
Love hard-core. Good luck Pest.
the only way I accept to play this game is throught your videos... hahah ty man!
DAMN NARPHA WITH THE HEAT AGAIN
Thanks a lot Mr. Frank
can't play the game because it's too hard on my pc, but i still watch all of the hardcore vids
it's gonna get better brother i missed out on like 2 raids cause the fps was so shit
2 wipes**
HOW IN THE WORLD, did Pest not laugh at the "Its drivin' me nuts" joke.
Back from vacation and watching the first hardcore episode! Also means already watching Pestily progressing further on his hardcore account than me on my main account lol
Dying back to back same spot hungry thirsty shheeeeeesh
Love the excitement x
Love the HC pest. Thanks for the content.
