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
"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.
@@bbbbbbb51 genious
@@bbbbbbb51 big brain plays here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@Pun_Solo 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 😊
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.
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.
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.
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.
That pages up/down tip just added years to the life of my mouse wheel. Thank you, sir.
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 !!!!
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.
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
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.
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.
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😭😂
your such a nice guy thank you so much. I felt stupid playing tarkov i have yet no idea of a lot of things almost everything and just playing and enjoying. hearing you say "enjoy the game" really put it in perspective for me. Thank you man
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.
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.
Awesome video man!! Love to see these kinds of videos and these tips are great!
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
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.
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!
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
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
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
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.
@@MichaelLeonard solo gang 💪
losing*
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
concentrated, concise, and on point. 1k hours and a learned a few things. Have a like and a sub.
Dude, got 5k hours and you still taught me a handful of things here. Great vid! Such an addicting game
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.
Dude that video was actually awesome. I like the amount of information for the time. Good job.
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 liked ur tips they were actually different I’ve watched many videos and most have literally the same copy paste ps the stuff about the sniper and keeping ur head down that’s insane I wouldn’t have thought of that and no one I’ve watched has either thank you so huge!
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. :)
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.
My first wipe this year and had a real struggle, didnt know about looking around while running, only gun peak or gamma - thank you for good tips sir 🙋♂
This is an excellent video, concise with lots of good tips. Thank you👍
Great informative video! The comments are are true help too. Definitely worth a watch and read to any future tarky player :)
Similair to pressing tab from flea market screen, you can tab out back to stash from "insurance" screen aswell, drag extra meds ammo or whatever you forgot on PMC, and go straight back to the insurance screen by tabbing again instead of having to press back a few times and then reselecting map and time again.
this is probably the best tarkov video i've ever seen. i was sad when it ended.
Great Advise!!! I have over 8500 hours on EFT atm (been on Medical Leave for 2+ years lol) and still learn new shit even though I have played a lot.
Thanks so much for this vid man, really great advice. If only I had seen this when I was just starting out...
A very helpful video. And a very nice message at the end.
As I do like the chart the tarkov app let's you compair ammo and armour as well and has a map for all areas which you can type quest names into to see where the quest is, also great video
Pg up and down for stash just changed my life! Thanks!
When sniping then transitioning to looting, make sure its insured and ditch it in a place no one would expect (or in water) that way you have less weight on you and leaves a spot to pick up a new weapon if one is presented
learned a couple things from this have about 2,000 hrs in-game and appreciate it especially the menu sound
the same. i was hyped af in 2015, i forgot about the game and twitch reminded me about his game in 2020 when big streamers started playing in january and also pandemic helped a lot, a lot of free time
omfg been playing for years and never knew about the pgup and pgdn way of scrolling the stash >.< tysm!!!!
I played over 6k hours and I personally never new about the page up and page down. Thank you for that that’s actually hella helpful
That last bit is great, I gotta do Punisher Part 4 and have been worrrying about the pmc kills, now I'm just gonna run caches and try and also get kills and not try to do resort (yet)
Amazing. I have almost 1500 hours now and i still got some great tips here i didn't already know about.
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
Thanks. This video has useful tips that are not common with most other vids.
Great topic today my friend.
Great video, Jeff. Great job. No bullshit, just tips. Loved it.
Awesome video, thanks for the tips
Thanks! This kinda videos are so usefull to new players! :)
really needed the last tip, great vid
oh my god, the ammo chart just made my life so much easier tysm!
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.
Thanks for the tips! Nice vid
straight to the point, love it!
Love this! Part 2 when?😉
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 😂
good content, i like how you did this video its well edited.
love your videos bro, you inspire me to make better videos
eftmonster ammo chart is way easier to navigate instead of the spreadsheet, it lets you select your ammo type that you want to see and puts it on a grid for armor to damage ratio's as well as showing fragmentation chance and whatnot
also rebind left side blind fire to something else and you can move while doing it, also you can instantly transition to lean-ads while doing this with correct timing, klean used to do this
That first one about moving to the top or bottom is literally a godsend. Don’t know how after 600 hours I’ve still been annoyingly scrolling my way up and down the whole time
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.
pro tip for heavy bleed: in keybindings, slot 4 - 4 - Press then slot 5 - 4 - Release. in slot 4 you but hemostatics for stopping bleed, and slot 5th u but heal (afak/ifak/salewa ect) so pressing 4th key it heals heavy bleed first before using heals saving heals for healing and heavy bleed for hemostatics. if no heavy bleed, its heals.
Nice video. I was hoping for more video setting type tips, but overall not a bad video.
You don't normally have to drag meds to a certain body part to heal it first. The game will automatically apply meds to the most hurt section first without you doing anything besides using the meds from the hotbar. Surgical kits are the only thing that don't prioritize body parts but thats because the parts are already blacked out so it doesnt matter which one is fixed first so with surgical kits you can drag it to the part you want fixed first in case you need to fight again quickly. 😀 ❤️🧡💛
Actually you do need to do it 'cause the game will heal ther more damaged in %, meaning a 10/35 head is less important to heal for the game than a 10/65 arm. Better loose your arm to some bleeding than your head.
Plus, the game will first try to heal bleedings part, even if they're blacked out. It may be a good idea to delay that to get some head/thorax HP first
Was unaware of the healing animation cancel and the insta reload. Well have to try em
the most useful tips would be (after 300h and a 4% survivability):
- develop a ritalin addiction to even spot from where you died
- develop so much self anger that you can no longer look you in the mirror
- realize that all the fps games over the years (43 and played all there is) didnt prepare me for tarkov
- realize you are to weak and learn to say "no, i dont play tarkov anymore. but im glad i could support them with a EoD purchase."
bruh the first tip got you a new sub lmao I've been scrolling with the mouse wheel this whole time...
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.
If you're having trouble completing a particular quest, particularly that dang gold pocketwatch. Do the quest in a night raid. You'll face less opposition and be harder to see unless there's a Chad with thermal or NVG's.
Thanks for this Video, i play these Game for 2 weeks. Very helpfull
very cool compact knowledge there!
When turning interface volume down will i still be able to hear others just as well say if they load mags or something? Also that mosin guy is just like me i use it till i can get decent guns for super cheap from traders
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
Thank you!
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.
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
got mastery 3 on the double pump, honestly made me enjoy tarkov so much
Very nice tips, it's my first wipe!
Ty man, i'm a new player and this video help me a lot. I always modify scav weapons, now I will not.
Nice I also came here from star citizen. Something about unfinished time sinks that have been in beta for 5 years really gets me I guess
Thank you for awesome video just on point! I have around 1000hours in dayz, but tarkov is so much harder and difficult to get used to :) it sure is a hard but very rewarding game
Love the vid bro. Keep up the good work
I have over 5k hours and still learnd 2-3 things new of this video!
Wow I'm 300 hours in and found most of these useful. The pgup pgdn in stash trick will save my hand from a LOT of scrolling in the future
