You deserve to blow up dude. You found the perfect niche videos to make before anyone else did. Your min max type of style of explaining is perfect for players who really want to progress faster.
Biggest thing I personally took away from it was off angles. I let my ego get the best of me sometimes and hate holding angles cause I feel like I’m being slow or something.
Agreed. Banger video
The man is on fire lately with his great videos! I'm afraid to hold angles cause of desync issues lol, people will fullsprint around the corner and see me before I see them :/
Holding angles forever is such a bitch move. Game is trash because you can hear people slow walking through 5 walls - encourages camping. Guess that's got its audience too though.
How to be a solo. Step 1: Kill a three man. Step 2 clear the area for a little bit. Step 3 prone on your first kill. Step 4: the 4th that’s been in a bush this whole time taps you
this. this is the main reason why i hate playing solo. squads usually have a sort of a protection bubble around them. not only is it difficult to wipe a squad as a solo, but also the last surviving member(s) can choose to play like pussies making it impossible for you to loot your kills.
@@Dominique9325 This is somewhat true, but he does also cover it in the video - collect information and remember it! In a perfect world that fourth guy would have shot or you would have had audio or visual of him beforehand that lets you know there’s a fourth or fifth.
I think a big takeaway from this video is also that it’s less important to know the exact location of each person than to know how many people there are and which directions they can push you from.
@@Dominique9325 honestly man as shitty as this sounds. What I do is if I feel there is a 4th hidden and ik if I poke my head out trying to find him I'm gonna get tapped. I just leave. better to lose a couple thousand in bullets wasted and meds used than lose a whole kit to a rat who is to scared to fight.
I mean this sort of just comes down to proper clearing and not being greedy - after the fight, *thoroughly* clear not only the immediate vicinity, but also the outside area around the fight, that way you increase the chances of catching last members of the squad who fell back to camp bodies with optics or third parties running up. Doing so will give you a rough amount of time you can spend looting in relative safety - with this time becoming more certain as your map knowledge and game sense increase. If the bodies of your original kills are going to be too risky/time consuming to clear for looting due to excessive angles or whatever, don't forget you can just leave and find some value elsewhere in raid - surviving is 99% more likely to be more profitable than diving in for loot and dying. Sorry for minor necro but I think its worthwhile to mention.
@@skilz2kil528 idk your experiences man but this wipe has been actually insane with rats for me. I can burn a raid down to 5 minutes clearing half the fucking map and I’ll get tapped the instant I touch a body sometimes. If a body isnt 100% safe to loot I usually just dump all my loot in a corner then go alt/click the entire body and dip. Thats been the best way for me to do stuff without having to spend 10 minutes clearing an area
These tips are not only great for Tarkov, it also applies to almost any FPS game. I've been playing FPS games my entire life and this video has just made me re-think everything I thought I knew. You have some fantastic teaching skills my friend. Great work my man!
I've also played FPS games since I was(....let's be realistic, you could not play video games until the age of possibly about 5-6years old, I believe I started around 7yrs old, and had the original Nintendo and almost all games I played on PC were launch through Dos console lol. And FPS games didn't exist on consoles back then, so DooM was the first FPS I played and grew up on to this day of me being 35yrs old. I've seen the FPS genre evolve over the years and experienced basically all of them. I honestly enjoy those older DooM styled games over newer more realistic looking games, but of course I still really enjoy them too. Anyways, it all depends on the kind of game and what mechanics it has..Tarkov is super complex compared to Call of Duty, you don't use the same tactics or strategies. I've played Tarkov on and off since the beginning, sometimes long breaks from it, but I'm still not even a decent player, haven't learned it all yet and that's a big part of being successful in Tarkov. You need to know the maps and extracts, loot spots, high traffic areas, what loot takes priority, best guns for which maps, how to build them efficiently, what gear you need, what ammo to use, learning the sound cues, all the keybinds and combinations, where AI is at and how they react, how to do quests, how to use and upgrade the hideout, using the traders and flea market, the list just goes on....it's a massive amount of information to take in and absorb to have it be embedded in your memory. Whereas other shooters don't go as in depth and require so much focus and time dedicated to it.) But to end this book of a comment, I've played since I was able to, and as I said, I learned every games style and got experienced....but Tarkov.....Tarkov is a different beast. I thought I was a very good fps player, but Tarkov slapped me silly and laughed in my face lol. First game to ever do that years into playing it.
As a pure solo player, that ending part about confidence and learning what you did wrong/right after a fight is really helpful, and I see myself doing this all the time now. Really well put together guide. 👍
don't throw a grenade at your feet, it doesn't end well usually.
@@diboxide >he hasn't thrown a nade at his feet and lived
NGMI
Used to get so mad at this game cuz I didn't understand it. As a solo there's a lot of things this game just refuses to inform you about. Such as the fact that your ammo is legitimately the lifeblood of your firearm... Yeah. That'd have been good to know 4 years ago.
A lot of really helpful, well-explained info in this video! The "grenade as duo" is the best piece of info that I've never heard anyone else explain. Actually looking forward to trying to play more solo soon! Thanks for the content!
I’ve been seeing you way more in the community, I see you a lot on my recommended like 3 times every time I open CZcams, I haven’t been watching you for a long time but I appreciate you going into depth with these topics, most big streamers just say some basic stuff, I can’t think of any basic things they say but I really really do appreciate you taking time and talking about things that most people don’t want to
CZcams has been treating me right and glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the content we have a lot more planned
Good guide. 1500+ hours and sometimes I still get the solo anxiety. Liked & subbed keep it up.
Same. 1500+ hours and still get nervous solo.
Same! played 4-5 wipes and several thousand hours and still get anxious every time I load up alone haha
This is actually relieving to see. Only at around 250+ and was worried something was wrong with me for the pre raid/fight nerves lolol
Im a nub only 500 hours. But i don't get this at all . 80% or more of my play time is solo . I find i never end up doing as good when playing with my buddy. Because im talking, watching his stream and over confident and feeling the need to avenge.
I do agree i feel safer but if i did the math I end up dieing way more tyen when solo .
I am the one that comes by corner when some one hold angle xD
I played the first six months of 2021 solo (my first wipe). It was so helpful to learn how to play the game and be independent. Has helped so much now when playing with other players. Although I don’t like playing with more than 2 more people.
Solo main here, the anxiety & anticipation is what makes the situations so good!
oh for sure, its just some people get so anxious they hate to play solo its about managing it. Those moments where you killed 4 and you're low on ammo / health and are in suspense about killing that 5th one is amazing
@@Rengawr i got rushed by a scav army a few hours ago on night time customs. They had me confused and acted like they didn't know each other. But in the end, bloody and broken I prevailed lol
Excellent video, I have so many friends that have either quit the game or just don't care about leveling up so playing alone can get really boring and anxiety provoking. Really nice to have a few methods to combat this feeling while grinding levels. I love to see this kind of super relevant content that isn't just baiting views and wasting my time. Keep the informative guides coming brother!
The freedom to shoot everything that moves in this game far outweighs any advantage you get from playing in a team imo, awesome vid man keep it up!
until you accidentally shoot santa
@@alanstewart2073 and then I cry
@@itsNep_ xD
It's the same with a team as long as everyone streams on discord. Ever since my friends and I share screen on discord, no team kills and we kill everything that moves that isn't us.
I'm with ya 100% on that. I love solos. But playing with friends is always a good time to.
i love how you talk about the solo anxiety, its real in tarkov and im tried to talk to me squad about that! Great vid!
Thank you for actually explaining this stuff. Trying to get advice in this game is like getting blood from a stone. I feel like after watching this I’ll be able to dissect my death clips a lot better because i don’t actually know what I’m looking for. Now, I might actually have such a chance. Great video
All these tips are useful not just for Tarkov but for games (and even LIFE situations) in general. Especially the learning from your mistakes / experiences part.
You don't just magically become the best at something. Analyze, adapt, get better. Good video Rengawr!
I play about 90% solo and there’s some really good advice in there. The grenades as a duo is a good one. I usually use grenades when fighting teams to free up movement for myself but have never really thought of them as my duo partner.
Great video! This wipe I have run pretty much completely solo and I took a lot away from this video, especially the playing music during the raid part it really helped me get over some of that anxiety I get playing solo. Thanks!
After 2 wipes 400 hours, still getting anxiety, this video is golden bro!
I use music when am in the menu pump me up, then just W sprint push people, vs teams still struggling hard.
Keep it up peeps, u get there. 🙏
Here we go, the video I have been waiting for from you!.
When you are solo you always have to think of the other guy. And when you run out of PMCs to kill, there are always Pscavs to worry about.
For me the best way to solo was to always pick your fights. Sometimes it is better to let someone past you if you are undetected - paid off many times for me in past actually as I had one guy get by me and then saw three of his loaded friends stomp after him. I had a glock with pst gzh on me and was on scav killing quest so... yeah I'll let the guys with face shields and tier 5 armor past me. Point is - I had nothing to gain from attacking them and clearly had no chance against them with the tools I had.
Recently just discovered you and you are very quickly rising to the top of my favorite tarkov content creators, keep up the good work!
You have a wonderful way of delivering information that will only help you in the future, your sound is good, pace, volume, and clarity are all top notch. I've watched a lot of tarkov videos lol and I feel like yours is better in terms of player utility in providing a good intro to solos. I play solos exclusively as I want to learn the game, I don't have a lot of spare time so watching vids like this is such a life saver in a very difficult game like tarkov that requires a lot of information and rewards you for that. Tl;dr love the vid bud
Thank you homie
Holy moly. I got so excited seeing this popup. I've never clicked so fast on a video! Thanks man!
Same!
Keep the content coming man! Awesome videos you have been putting out. Eagerly awaiting the next one!
Thanks bro, I've been waiting for this.
Great guide. I've watched several solo guides and still found new tips and idea here. I particularly liked the last one about just acting and not worrying about the analysis until after. I find myself frequently hesitating trying to play chess in my head, so I think that tip will be huge. The breakdown of engaging teams was nice and well explained. As was the way you applied grenades, which was new to me. The one thing that could have used more detail was identifying weapons by sound and, what they should mean, but that may have been out of scope for this video. 10/10
Love it Rengawr, good stuff man. Thank you
Thank you for this. Currently level 38 and have hit a rut, and this vid helped me realize how wrong I’ve been playing situations! Appreciate it man!
Actually a great tips video, not many content creators go into approaching 1vXs and the thought process/mindset you need to have to come out in those engagements.
Thank you for another informational video Rengawr!
Great video. This is my third wipe and I played with friends for my first two wipes. Now I’m playing mostly solo and all of a sudden, I gotta re-learn how to play bc I have no one watching my back lol I appreciate the tips!!
Your the best tarkov channel I’ve come across in a long time! Keep up the good work and your going to blow up! Thanks for all the content.
Great video dude, keep up the great work! also for a suggestion to go along with this video, I think a full raid commentary would be awesome! Just explaining your decision making would be awesome! Cant wait to see whats next for you!
Really good video man! I find this game so overwhelming (started this wipe 12.12) and just constantly getting wrecked in PVP. So im gonna try out you tips here and hopefully it will make me a better player over time. Probably the number one thing is I need to get better at holding angles and being in cover, and sometimes just disengage and get a better position.
How's the gameplay been since this comment? Biggest thing is just trying to be a Chad even though it's scary to lose gear. Being on the offensive in this game is the best defence.
Awesome stuff dude. Thanks!
exactly the right advice and actually useful for everything we do.
Great vid! Been watching for a while and you really deserve more subs
Amazing video and I do most of what you are saying already and this hit home for me. Excellent video Reng
Awesome video rengawr. True for mindset in anything in life not just tarkov. You da man. Keep crushing will catch a stream soon 💪
Genuinely love your videos, i started this wipe and you're videos have been so helpful bro, thank you.
Edit, Sending the love from the UK
Awesome video, Rengawr! I completely agree that confidence is key! We gotta believe we can and we will just like with anything in life! Mindset is also key!!!!! :D
I'm a very seasoned player. I started solo. For 1 whole wipe.
But than I found out several co workers played. I got so used to duo play that when I tried solo I was horrible anxious and felt like my confidence and skill took a 50% hit.
I am still working on it! This guide helped for sure.
Thanks for the content! I subscribed
imo this game works mostly the opposite to everything else in the fact that playing solo is more of an advantage that playing in a group. You especially learn the game at a faster rate. Loving the content, I feel you've came out of no where and are now delivering some great content for all level of players, even veterans!
If you have a good squad its easier then solo. But its hard to find good mates
@@sanciia8658 Yea that what i meant by mostly, its extremely hard to find a group that all works on the same wave length, primary downfall of all teams is poor comms and confusion/conflict between ideas.
Definitely depends on the squad. I got a few guys who are extremely coordinated and we clear out maps entirely roughly 60% of the time. This being said, you certainly do not learn the game as fast
Nope squad with callouts for everything is 10x easier. Its only better solo if your squad comms are trash
@@divac7777 completely agree, but I would honestly say 99% of group’s comms are trash. Fortunately I have been in a group for a year or so that has extremely good comms, and my surv rate has increased from 65%ish to around 80%ish
super helpful man, really great tips and overall great video
wow thanks man you really helped me this wipe incredible advice and tactics.
Love the guide, this is the one game in the world I can actually enjoy playing solo, so it helps a lot for videos like this
Glad to hear it homie and I agree solo Tarkov is really fun
Loved the video with the info im gona try your tips to get rid of solo anxiety.
Also i couldn’t help but laugh at how many times you said “right” I almost wanted to make a count but great vid keep it up
That was some solid advice on how to deal with solo anxiety, awesome video.
didn't even know about the media pause play thing that alone helped so much tyy
I would like to stress that this video is special in regards of delivery. Most people call their vids 'how to do this and that' and then it's like one super generic comment followed by 20 minutes of some random good raid. Sure you can learn and draw your own conclusions from reading that footage and I'm not hating on a person that wishes to promote their channel. But I do want to thank you for making something that's based on principles, which is an approach that imo displays a true want to teach and be valuable. I was able to get some fundamentals here that I could employ in my own situations. That's what a good lesson does for you. Much love bruh!
I use the same strategy of playing music low in the background with a pause toggle, definitely helps with my anxiety when rolling solo... good tips
this is what i needed, thankyou so much!
Great vid brother. Thanks
There’s always more to learn. As a experienced solo this video still really helped legend
Your videos are great, I've learned a lot from them. I have always been bad at shooters and my aim and situational awareness get me killed. However your tip on just making a decision has helped a lot. I'll admit I have just sat there waiting for something to happen a lot because I was scared. Actually making a decision and trying to flank etc helped me win 2 fights yesterday. Thanks again for all the advice. Now if only I could aim better lol
Love to hear it man and aim comes with time. Good shit that’s growth you’re doing the right things. Keep it up and you’ll be impressed how far you come
I use to only play with a duo or trio, use to not be able to stand playing solo, but for the past few weeks this wipe solo has been really good to me, and I’ve definitely been seeing improvements
The silence can drive you insane. Especially in moments you could have sworn you heard something
@@EbrybodyLuvTony it was just the jacket closing 🤣
As a solo main since alpha with 5000hrs+ I can say these tips align perfectly with the advice I give out. Very well described and people would do well to listen to these tips.
You’re so lonely dawg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ouhky6358 lol nah you mean in the game? I play with teams too and sherpa noobs
@@jaredneaves7007 giga chad sherpa i salute u
@@jaredneaves7007 Sherpa. You make us proud brother. Thank you.
great video, thanks man
Best guide Ive ever seen.
I subbed for the title alone. Was kicking myself earlier for bad play. I needed to see this
We all make mistakes as long as you grow from those and don’t keep constantly making the same mistakes you’re improving
extremely knowledgeable. thanks for the content mate
Nice vid rengawr, like always, super usefull. I always have trouble with quests, and sometimes i cant do them coop, its like 5 raids at the same map always diyng and people get bored.
how the hell does this man not even have 10k subs, your content is amazing and you deserver way more keep up the amazing work bro!
your the best I'm so happy ur telling me I can listen to music midgame. LEGEND!
seriously it relieves so much anxiety, it's so smart to have a switch for it to focus when needed most
This couldn't have come at a better time, i play with irl buddys 4-5 man groups 90% of the time. Its rough being the most experienced player while theyre not up to par. Ready to start my solo journey :D
take my christmas like, mate. Apreciate your work. Rewatched rogues farming few times and still dying a lot xd. Thanks for sharing your exp because 90% percent of this game is knowledge
Max quality content. Cheers!
Wait you have less than 10000 Subs? I thought you are a really big content creator, given the huge quality and informative videos, keep it up bro, really got me into the game
Damn that was a banger of a vid
Best guide ever :o thanks a lot dude
Man your videos are getting insanely good. I start using them as bookmarks to answer questions people have in the official discord now. Great job man. The only thing I'd like to see more is after the explanation some clips of 1vx to demonstrate what you're talking about. It's hard to find videos who do both, explain, and show. Most either do one or the other. The hardest thing to do is when you have to push a held angle, with inertia this feels a bit tough and I'm still not sure the best way to do it.
I do have to meme at least once though:
"Listen to the footsteps"
*Interchange has left the chat*
I feel that, most of my clips were from last wipe and I didn’t want to use non-inertia clips for examples
this was so helpful tysm man
great vid, great content :).
Great video! Would love to hear you talk through how you would play fights in other high-PVP locations (Dorms, UltraMed, Lumber, etc)
Awesome Vid thank you
very informative video really helped me
Great video! This is my first wipe and I think the best piece of advice for me personally was to just do something, I tend to freeze up at he first sign of combat hoping theyll play right into me which doesnt always end well and even when it does it doesnt feel like I gained or learned anything -- I just ratted up and got the drop on the guy. This also tends to me overstaying my welcome and them being right where they expect me to be once I give away my position
Yes, this is important to overcome, i tend to freeze up too if i hear a sound and becoming a slow moving crab, this works in some situations but it just get you killed most of the time. It feels better to die if you at least got to spend a few mags of ammo. But tarkov is a game you have to dedicate yourself to if you want to enjoy it, if you cant get lvl 4 traders in 1-2months i dont think its worth it because of the wipes.
I learned to love playing solo. Although I learned from playing in a group its a lot less stressful being on my own. The game is already stressful enough i dont need added stress. The group I was in always seemed to get mad if you didnt have good coms. They took it way too serious and it killed the enjoyment because i was always thinking I was messing up their raids lol so now its easier solo because everything i hear i shoot.
That what its called “expectation anxiety “ sweat group does that
Mindset is everything, couldn't agree more.
keep it up man. your nuts
Awesome guide
So cool..very helpful, thank you!👍
when I watched this video I understood why my top tier gamming from other games didn't transfer to tarkov. This game is so much more risk and so much more intense I forgot all the tactics and ways to win fight more than outgun and out aim.
And here I thought you were good at the Cycle. I can defiantly tell you have a deeper understanding at this game. Its good to know that I use some of these already, even its only my second wipe now. Not having to worry about "is someone on my team?" is hands down my favorite part of playing Tarkov solo. I hate getting killed because I hesitate from bad coms and end up dying because someone says "yeah that's me" after I ask them and its 100000% NOT them. When I do play now I actually just came to terms with I rather be the leader in TKs in our group than hesitate because of bad communication.... hopefully you do a playback of some good solo fighter where you use these tips in there and pause the replay to talk about your mindset at the time or maybe subtle info you think some people may not pick up on right away. I personally think that may be something people would want to see as well.
Loved the video and being able to see your thought process when playing tarkov. The solo anxiety trick wont work for me so I'll have to figure out something else for that.
There’s tons of ways to go about it but hope you do figure something out
Te amo, nada mas que decir, se que no hablas español pero quiero que sepas que la comunidad hispanohablante también ve tus videos, gracias enserio aprendes.
actual legend
I am an almost 100% solo player, all I can say you learn the most while playing solo, there is no other way around it. Tarkov is the dark soul of fps, you cannot learn the game without dying! What I recommend is if you die, try to replay the last 2-3 minutes of your gameplay prior of your death, and route cause analyse what went wrong, what could have been done differently, even if you would eventually die. maybe you could have killed the second guy also... Do not be afraid to die, do not be afraid to use your instincts,worst case you are broke..., you can still scav run and make the loadout money back.
Great talker and great tips
I live alot more solos, in groups my SR goes down haha. I love being able to shoot anything I hear to and not hesitate and worry about capping my teammate haha Good video bro I enjoyed it.
Solo is awesome. Sharing epic moments with your friends is awesome too.
recently been grinding reserve and have been dropping 4-5 mans consistently . finally lost gear fear and became Hella confident. your guides helped me a lot :)
Love to hear it man
It's finally here
Good vid man
solo anxiety is such a huge thing for me
I feel this bro , i run gear i can stomach losing and go in hot . managed to wipe a team of 3 lastnight with a stock ak105 and good ammo , luckily i had top loaded a few rounds of igolnik ;) i think they were more scared than i was , which was a nice change haha
Just bought this game and don’t know much and my friends don’t want to play and I have sooo much anxiety trying to play alone but this helps!!
I asked you about this in stream the other day, been doing really good solo ever since! This is the good stuff
Hey what you sayed in the vid helped me a lot not in tarkov but in a basically mobile version of it
Great video
