does this have the same concept as talking to women
What’s a “woman”
@@Rengawr tarkov players wouldn't know
@@someonefamous9347
They're not biologists?
@@weege5.45 it doesn't matter whether they are biologists or not as long as they play tarkov they don't know what a women is
@@someonefamous9347
It's an American political joke. A recent supreme court nominee was asked to "define what a woman is" and her response was essentially "I can't, I'm not a biologist". To be fair, it is overly reductive paraphrasing since there is more context to the nature of the original question, but it's become a meme in certain circles. That nominee is now confirmed Justice Ketanji Brown. (I think I spelled that right)
The way you described solo anxiety is so spot on for me. I usually log on and just sit in my stash or do scavruns when my duo buddy isnt on because im so scared of going solo. Gotta get out of my comfort zone alot more in this game i know im a decent shot and I have good situational awereness and stuff. Something about solo play just turns me into a rat lol
It is not pointless tho. Every time I get fucked by 3+ people I just wanna ask who the fuck decided it is a good idea to put solo player in lobby with 3+ parties
Probably the massive disadvantage it gives you
I had that issue. Try and force yourself to lose kits. Go in with gssh ears paca armor and chiapa rhino 9x19 50 pst in pocket and hemostat or esmarch army bandage and cheese. No rig. Only loot scavs/ players/ weapon/ armor boxes. For me being angry / upset after i died was the killer so i always try and have a kit ready to go so i don't dwell on the last death.
I started setting dying quotas. So i wouldn't even extract until i died 10 times today. That way you get used to it and expect it. Only leaving the raid if i got juice like level 6+armor or extremely rare loot.
the best way to overcome the gear fear is the pre wipe ...u know that the guns money and all your stuff will be gone so use ur best stash u have in every raid when u lose it u will not be angry or desperate for it ... and when the wipe begin u will be a better player plus u will know that u will have a better gear day after day spend win lose repeat that is tarkov for the chadz and timmyz...
I had big gear fear las wipe, when I started playing, I ended up with 50 mil roubles, tons of meta weapons, and armors. For me, the wipe was the moment when I lost gear fear since you know you can lose it all eventually. Now I run what I have with around 5 mil roubles just rushing through quests and maxing out traders as fast as I can.
Can relate to that
I see the wipe and think: why bother playing XD SPT is all I need.
I think a big help for me and my initial gear fear was learning the maps and commiting to a plan of action before i build or finalize my loadouts. Knowing where you'll be going and how much you'll need to be sprinting or shooting can inform how you need to "dress".
Yeah. Going customs I ALWAYS try to camo up fully even with a shemagh etc. going around dorms, you can just mask your entirety beside a bush and have fun lol.
Dress for the mission
@Kyle K If you call bringing out level 5 gear with meta ammo and all that "ratting" otherwise it's just treating a survival shooter strategically and not running around in the wide open. I hatchet ran when I started, and thought a red dot on an AK was highend cause I was also stricken with gear fear. But nah, I haven't improved cause you died to someone in a bush. Maybe be in a different position next time :) Cause that's how warfare is, nobodies there until they are.
“And the reason that this is okay, that when you’re only at a million roubles or two million roubles...”
Me, with 20k in my stash:
Scav runs on factory, grab everything you see and get out
At this moment you're my favorite EFT content creator. The tips are straightforward and deliver efficient.
I agree, I just found him recently and definitely think he’s one of the more informative creators.
Absolutely, and the info is always delivered clearly and easy to understand, even if I’m not interested in the topic of a new upload I’ll still watch it because I could learn something new 10/10
same hes pog. im on 5th wipe and there are tonnes of tricks and tips for quest, looting or game knowledge i got from his content that i havnt seen from say pestily or swampfox
One way I got rid of gear fear as this is my third wipe is a mindset that the better the loadout I got the more things I’ll kill and loot. Thinking otherwise was an insecurity of my own skill.
What helps me with gear fear is mostly using things I can replenish. If I use only the armour, weapons and ammo I can get with my current trader levels or that ar cheap on the flea, then I don't feel like I've really lost anything valuable when I die. Since I can replenish the lost things easily, I basically just lost a bit of money and money is literally an infinite resource in tarkov.
This…
Well said.
I'll have gear fear until I'm at level 15 ,since that i could access flea market. Everything is after that
@@ahartakpower You still cant get good ammo, armor and weapon attachements are massivly overpriced compared to traders.
@@ahartakpower I disagree, money is time, and levelling is also just time. as long as you know you'll reach 15, pre-flea market should logically be the same as post-flea. earning money takes time, levelling take time. it's all about time. for me, it's not even the amount of money I have, it is more the plans i set ahead. if i know i have a very good loot run\scav run to fall back on in case i get unlucky for more than a few consecutive raids, then I dont mind dying because dying only means you have to go for 10-30 minutes of money runs or an optimized scav run and youre back to being based economically.
I'd say this is the 3rd tier away from gear fear:
Tier 1: Complete gear fear. Runs PMs because they 'know' they'll die anyways, so the M4 from wipe is not worth losing. Occasionally does hatchling runs when injured instead of forking over the healing cost. Has no stash space because of the hording of stock AK74s that they have found and immediately extracted with. 'The glock is so expensive for a pistol!!!'
Tier 2: Runs extreme budget builds with tiny bags and rigs, with or without a PACA. The player justifies this by calling it a 'full loadout', despite how cheap it is. Expect KEDRs, PP-19-01s, Gornostays, and so on. Lives on the idea of not needing to spend money as they'll snowball every now and then, just to not use what they get anyways.
Tier 3: Has a stack of nice guns taken from chads, or builds that you intend to run 'down the line' when you have better armour. All of this is ignored for a very long time or sold, with the player instead running the best stock guns (with Kobras) and armour that they can get from their (slightly under-levelled) traders. Good bags and rigs are ran too, so this isn't too bad.
Tier 4: Understands that the whole fun of the game, live or die, is to struggle your way to better gear and utilise it to the best of your abilities. The only exceptions to them using the best weapons is if they don't have class 4 armour to go with it, or if they don't have any good ammo to use with it. Otherwise, you can expect them to maximise their survival rate by arming themselves to the teeth, nades included. Kits vary from good raid to bad raid, but are almost always the best possible.
Tier 5: 100 mil in the bank, running meme builds because of how chadly they have become from getting good at the game with the best of the weapons. Will breach load a silenced AK, run 7 flashlight laser combos on a shotgun, and put a Vudu on a Saiga-9.
Absolutely loving the knowledge here and your willingness to share this information to the whole community. Keep it up man.
This channel has popped up for me as of recent , this is my 3rd wipe and i have learnt so so so much from watching your videos. Massive respect to you for putting your heart into the game and pumping out the content for everyone to improve. Love it !
Glad you enjoy it homie
You have successfully verbalized easy to translate strategies and ways to rewire old habits by analyzing gear fear in Tarkov.
It's okay to fail, don't view it as a mistake but a chance to learn again. If we continue to make the same mistakes, then it is time to evaluate the why behind the actions.
Sell valuable things in our inventory that is useless to us but valuable overall, and put ourselves ahead with those funds towards things we want/need.
Objective based gameplay and having small individualized objectives instead of applying ourselves across multiple things at once, instead of focusing on being great at one thing at a time.
You're frickin awesome, and I appreciate the work you do. Just stumbled across your channel before starting Tarkov, and there could not have been a better place to begin.
bro you have been smashing it out the park with videos lately, keep it up!
hey man this is my first wipe and watching your easy to understand videos has helped out a lot. I really appreciate it!
Dude your content has been fire. Been watching for the past week or so and you have really good guides, especially the solo player guide to surviving.
great video. Really happy I came across your videos. Actual good tips that seem in line with what most players actual feel.
This changes EVERYTHING thank you ily
For me as well i really really focus my scav runs on making money. Currently with my scav route on reserve i hit white knight black knight and K building. I make around 200-300k per run. Knowing this helps me remember it’s no big deal of i lose a 500k kit. Since i just need to run 2 scav runs and I’m good.
A 500k kit is a pretty budget kit. Armored rig 100k-150k, gun & ammo 200k-300k, meds 50k, bag 50k-100k. This is pretty budget. A more expensive load out is more like 1-2 mil. Level 6 armor is 250k rig is 50k good helm is 180k full modded gun is 350k ammo is 200k bag is 150k meds are 150k stims are 150k+
also on lighthouse i get from 400k - 1mil roubles(but there's like 35% chance to meet pmc's)
A good modded weapon can cost 400k alone so you will face a net loss of around 1-1,5m the second changchuwang_chinaNR1 Head/Eyes you
@@questionsfrog1918 it can, but it's not necessary and not worth it in my opinion. Just take those ultra expensive guns from dead players and run something good, but not that expensive on your own.
I for example like good moded AK74, which are pretty cheap, you find ammo everywhere and it shreds.
@@scharrk i handle it as a gift for myself, got 3 item boxes full of mods and dismantled weapons. Once they are empty i'll buy things for a fancy weapon, wear my best armor and die to a scav headshot from 259m away with buckshot
Videos are always on point my man. Keep it coming.
New player here, this current wipe is my first. I'd like to start by saying that I've watched quite a few guides on Tarkov about this or that, but yours have consistently been the ones that I actually take something away from. I have trouble sitting through the longer videos that many creators tend to put out and the heaps of information rarely stick. So I wanted give a heartfelt thank you for the content and guides you've been putting out - as I tend to learn more from them than I do from even some of the bigger streamers like Pestily.
Thank you for making these videos more relatable and comprehensible to newer players such as myself. The effort you put into them is much appreciated. You've earned my sub.
It’s really heartwarming to hear that homie. Cheers to that, best of luck learning there’s a ton more guides coming and questions are always welcomed in the stream
@@Rengawr Looking forward to them :)
Tips: Dont think of loosing gear, instead think of it like donating gear to other players (this one help me a lot, odd how you can become so attached to some virtual pixels). Make sure to watch a video on scav behavior (aka dont re-peek, but relocate) is really importent. Get used to "dying" by playing Factory in offline mode at first, this also helps understaing scav behavior. After that try online factory with minimal gear aka just a sling (2k) & a double barrel shotgun (8k).. aka you loose nothing because the gear is so cheap & has like 95% insurance return. This should help adjust you mindset to make "death" a everyday normality & dont feel like "loosing/gear" & at the same time grind a bit of normal COD reactions into you. The "trouble" with the game is that it mainly has these big empty maps that you can cross without meeting someone, so when you finally meet someone you start thinking etc. Having made a instinctual COD doubletap should up ypur survivalrate & help you not thinking of loosing gear but instead free your mind to other things like positioning, relocating etc.
I love how you people have to play mental gymnastics to feel like you're having fun, instead of actually just enjoying it. This is an abusive relationship you're in, it's not healthy.
thanks mate! this video is extremely helpful! just started playing 2 weeks ago, and i have like 5 meta guns and armour sets in my stash, i should definitely start using them!
Great video man. Very well articulated.
Amazing video dude, really informative.
This is some really great advice for newer players to the game. Bravo!
Finally a W video about gear fear and how to get through it. We all needa show Renga sum luv
Excellent video, really good explanations and background gameplay.
For me I just get afraid to make any sound as a solo. The vast majority of the time I try to push anyone I end up dying to someone just silently holding an angle on me that I could never clear
A good tip is to just move. dont stay in the same spot for more than a few minutes. that fear can only hit you when you're in the same spot for an extended period of time. It's all about accepting that there's a lot of rng that we cant really avoid, A well placed pistoling with decent aim, could take out anyone who doesnt have a faceshield in most scenarios, but if you move around A lot, youre more likely to reduce the chances of that guy lining up a shot on you.
Needed this. You da man
Love your content bro. Everything you say is exactly how i feel.
Although I’m still new to tarkov, I don’t really have gear fear. I think it’s due to my background playing rust, I think the main thing is realizing that if you have money you can afford to lose whatever gear you have, because you can just buy a couple dozen more
you will never experience loss in tarkov like you probably did in rust, thats why I really respect rust mains.
Imagine someone raiding your tarkov hideout and you have to start all over again, nope too hardcore :D
Facts bruh, when I used to play rust I got used to losing ak full metal kits so now in tarkov I’m kinda ok with gear fear
Huge help man!
I dont have gear fear anymore but I do love getting full geared up with good gear and getting head eyes from across the map. FEELS GOOD!
Good video. This channel is on the come up keep it up. 👍🏻
You re great man thanks for the video!
I never comment but I had to because wow.. your content is really useful, well thought out, and high quality. Good stuff 👌
As other people have said- I think a lot of our gear fear is based around in the actual raid. I take good gear in, it’s just whenever I get going on a kill streak or get a load of gear or loot I start getting gear fear and panicking and it affects my play style.
Great video though man!
Your vids are amazing man :)
Love the vids man! Good work! I would love to see a labs/raider guide because i would like to kill some but i dont seem to find any good guides :)
Hey Rengawr, I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your videos and the stuff you do. You became my favorite youtuber and I really enjoy your thoughts..
Thanks for this video, it really helped me become more focused and loose my gear fear + solo anxiety :)
So thank you ☺️
Much love homie glad to have helped out! Congrats on overcoming those huge hurdles
@@Rengawr thank you mate:)
Have a wonderful weekend 👍
nicely done! i had gear fear my first few wipes now im much more comfortable running meta gear and knowing when i can be a baller and when to do budget. Having 4+ slicks wont help you get better may as well use it
I use a bunch of this just subconsciously. Absolutely good tips
Objective based Gameplay is a very good tip, i started doing this and man does it help, if you start wander off in this game with no set goals or pre-planned route you just die. And if you go your route and its looted just extract and go in to a new raid. Tarkov is such a good shooter that i think old battlefield and mil-sim players are missing out big time if they dont play tarkov
Thank u for the awesome tips
thanks i will try to use some of these strategies
Super helpful guide for new players!
thanks rengawr you are the best
Great video! I didn't think I had any gear fear but after watching this video i realized i kind of have it. I feel like the part about playing solo really felt like it hit me 😅 When i don't have any friends to play with i basically only do scav runs, because of an kind of fear of playing solo, but i justified it because this is my first wipe and i only have 150 hours in the game and i play on an standard account so I have low cash all the time and when I get cash i spend it on my hideout, so me playing solo scavrunw was an easy and safe way to learn the maps and get some cash to continue playing. But I wouldn't even try to bring cheap load outs in an regular raid. Definitely gonna have my mates also watch this to make them think about how they play and i will try to actively think what i did wrong and good in fights!
great stuff :D I really need to work on this .... got 4 chad kits (killed some pmcs) in my stash but still run an sks
I'm new to EFT and I'm happy that I've found your channel.
Gear fear hit me right away since all my LLs are 1 and just breaking $1M rubles is a bit of a struggle while I'm learning what's valuable and where to find it. Heck, just figuring out where I am on a map is a struggle most of the time. LOL So I find myself looting some higher tier gear and realizing that I can't buy a replacement for it if I die compounded with the lack of experience in gun fights meant that the odds of me coming out of a raid with my gear was pretty low.
What works for me at this stage is similar to some of the advice you gave in this video, and that's selling that "top tier" gear and buying what's available at my current tier level. It's crap gear and crap ammo, but I know I can replace it and that gives me a little more confidence. Plus having a little more room in my stash cuts down on the time I spend playing backpack simulator trying to figure out how I'm going to fit the next scav run loot.
I feel the same
Like I have some top tier gear for like. 3/4 months and I wanted to keep It until I use It in some fight however I never use It, the same happens with some weapons that I have, even the Scar H from Christmas, I still have It on my stash knowing that I will never use It.
This video changed me now
Thanks. This means a lot.
Very nice! Thank you for the great content! Any tips on how to peak around corners and keybindings would be great.
Last wipe I had huge gear fear and would literally hide for half the raid. This wipe I just focused on doing tasks and learning woods stash runs and that pretty much eliminated my gear fear since I know I can just spam woods runs and easily make more money. Also I run scavs whenever possible since that’s pretty much free money if you just go to a map where you know where most the stashes are. Unlocking the flea is huge too, since most items will likely net you close to 10k. Thanks for another great guide my guy, they’re always super helpful and to the point
Noticed you didn't even have learning how to PvP. Instead of wasting your time stash running. Cut those in half and just go on a PvP run on w.e map you enjoy. PvP is profitable by this point in wipe. Why stash run if you can just kill people who looted the map for you.
Loved this.. I am a new player.. I do a few things but this gave light on something I can work on too!
thank you, I will try to improve thanks to you
I found that the biggest cause of gear fear was a lack of consistent playing. It was hard to gauge what was a lucky raid and what was actually normal in Tarkov. When you start off, and even play a few hundred hours, it's easy to convince yourself that your survived raids were lucky, and that 90% of 'normal' raids end in you dying.
Good vid my dude
First wipe playing but knowing some of the game thx to friends and streams.
I really have this problem, like I have some top tier gear for like. 3/4 months and I wanted to keep It until I use It in some fight however I never use It, the same happens with some weapons that I have, even the Scar H from Christmas, I still have It on my stash knowing that I will never use It.
The same goes for atacthments, I have tons of sights, supressors and so on, but I never get to use It because It is very expensive and cant afford buying It, now I know they must go to the flea or mechanic and keep buying things that I can really afford.
This video changed me now
Literally Gave Me All Information So That Means I Have Solo Anxiety + Gear Fear And A Hoarder!
True storry. Finished my first whipe when I started in 2021 with 8 slicks, 7 Hexgrids and a couple of Zebralos plus tons of guns. Then everything was gone and the new whipe started. That was the point for me when I said to myself that its pointless to wait for using this gear until Im better at the game. I just used it, lost some but got way better in PvP. Its excactly how you say. Just use It and If you need money, figure out a Map you are confortable on and farm roubles as a scav. For me its Woods and its about 400k per run in avarage if you learned the loot spots PMCs dont go.
Keep up your great videos dude. Great content.
I wanted to add 1 more trick which works arround insurance. What I would do is insure all my loadout and once I kill someone who has a decent weapon or armor I swap the stuff and hide mine, so at least I don't have the feeling of I'm going to lose something.
I'm watching this late at night cause for me gear fear is a big problem so I'm gonna use that slick in my stash tomorrow and I'm gonna enjoy it
Man you are so underrated!!
i only run stuff i can "afford" to loose. i usually start the day with a pistol/ kedr and lvl 3 armor or scav run on woods and build up from there. prebuying stims, ammo,armor and later on keycards with every reset i can. i got EOD, so being able to fill my stash with cases and rigs, without "loosing" (started with standard) space, helped big time to loose gearfear lol
I don't have that much gear fear anymore only for like really expensive stuff like my 6 bastions with plat and my rys-ts and i think this has helped me alot
A good way to tell if its time to upgrade from Timmy to Tommy or from Tommy to Chadicus is if you're losing fights by 1 or 2 shots, if you're getting in multiple fights where the difference between you winning and losing it is if you survived a fraction of a second longer or if they died a fraction of a second earlier its time to invest in better gear, the biggest thing for me was finding a middle ground, my kit is only 250k but I can run it infinitely and still compete with any player I run in to, you just need to find the sweet spot that fits your playstyle and skill level. And for the love of god do your scav runs and you should never run out of money
bsg taking many things off the of the flea market really amplified my gear fear for a long time, because i was much more worried about not being able to replace lost gear, such as m855a1, or mdrs and things, i cant replace them. That was a really bad part of the wipe for me, really hurt my progression.
i got over it because i started using upper class 4, waiting so i can source class 5, then randomly started wearing the slicks i have accumulated over the course of the wipe
What got me over gear fear was just going in with good gear and getting results if you don’t go out with able equipement into a raid you’re gonna keep dying
Lots of good additional points here. One thing though: Longer you hold onto gear, the more players will have access to it thus less effective advantage it offers you. I'm not saying slick + altyn every time you find one, but leverage your advantages while they mean the most. Remember the pvp tasks you struggle with and use em for that, and tone it down for the ones you don't.
Hey man, amazing video! Super detailed and real, feels very thoughtful and helpful! Side note: what is your resolution/settings? Your gameplay looks slightly stretched, which I love and would love to replicate!
!Settings in my chat and !res
that last part about solo anxiety.. I feel attacked
the way I went this wipe (first time) to avoid gear fear was selling good gear before obtaining AH (no good bullets before then anyways), saving for scav box, armor, + max dur guns, and running quests. Now that I have AH I generally stay between 300k-2 mil roubles, buying level 3-4 armor and doing builds as often as I can to learn the game.
The only gear fear I have, is going thru the damn process of selling items from previous Raid/ Scav raid, building a new loadout and then having to wait 5+ minutes to load back into a damn map.
I still can’t believe it took me 3 wipes to get over gear fear. It’s a different game now. I’m actually having fun.
Still trying to get over solo anxiety. Usually so on edge walking through interchange I miss my first 5 shots on target
Would you recommend practicing tasking via resetting your account multiple times in a wipe? Great video by the way didn’t think I would learn much but I did.
That’s not a terrible idea but helping a friend do their tasks is probably better to help you less that stuff
For me running light has a massive advantage : being fast and light !
Of course if you manage to get maximum strength that is not a problem
Totally agree! That’s why I (lvl 17) run a db when broke, headeyes a bunch of chads (or turn their legs to spaghetti if altyn gamer) then take their meta guns in with no armor! Aim + ergo is meta over armor.
I have the opposite of Solo Anxiety : Social Anxiety !
I really wish I could get over it, getting a bit of help for some quests would be great.
Personally, there are 3 things that helped get over my gear fear (tho it's not totally gone) : knowing money-making, using what you like, and stop grieving over gear
my solo guide talks about solo anxiety
5:05 make some good memorys, yes i have memory of slick curse, basicly everytime you wear slick you will get stomached or head eyes
Some insights for older players. When you feel blah but still want to play farm with budget load outs. When you feel great and warmed up use the good kits. Reserve manhole run with pistols and learn to use the guns you can get that way. Pawn buildings and horse buildings are good for that. Scav and run down into the tunnels to grab pmc guns/ raider guns. Practice alot with cheap guns you can get early wipe. Flesh rounds are the great equalizer. Ppsh with lrnpc 9x18 sp7 or sp8(silenced). Most importantly have fun.
I felt really hardcore considering it, cause a lot of my homies that I am in discord with, normally play solo still, felt it was too sweaty. But I made a literal sheet of each types of deaths/scenarios I got myself into and wrote them down each time, basically like a counter. From there on I would be conscious of what exactly I was normally running into, and that slowly each day helped me get over those jumps in certain things
It’s a great way to improve
Get new friends to play the game with. I'd love to have a homie like you to play with that aims to improve instead of bitching that the game suck or b.s excuse everytime they die. That commitment to gettin better at the game you like. Idk why your friends would think that's sweaty. Unless they're just casuals at the game.
that shoreline resort example is the same experience ive had. im new and i tell my experienced friend i need to go to grab something for a quest and he has the key for it, he says cool we can do that. we do that then he opens up 100 other rooms, we get fat with loot then get wrecked by players. same shit happened on factory, i needed office kills he agrees we are going to office, and we spawn in the forklift room and he runs off straight towards the first sounds of gunfire nowhere near the office, and being a good team player i come with him, we kill a few guys but ofc get killed. sticking to the plan is important lol.
please continue to make "How to level fast" videos. i love your content, keep it up
I will they are just super time consuming
Thx for the video. I'm a new player. Every time I die I try to think of a better way to approach the fight to get the edge. First death as a pcm I got myself corner and didn't know if the guy was coming from the left or right. I should I went to the restaurant on the left since even if he was there (he was not there) I would have cover in the restaurant which I didn't have in the little corner
Also Now Every time I shoot a Scav or PMC I assume that there is probably another player coming in to tird party, so I dont get in bad position
@rengawr brings up a fantastic point that maybe only Pestily and a few others have said before as a huge tip and that's to have objectives in your raids. You get to chose 1 thing in each raid until you are a more proficient player. Make money, chase pvp or do questing. You can't do it all until you've mastered the fundamentals of Tarkov or become on the same level as the top 25% of the player base. Self reflection is the best way to grow as a person and video game player. The only constant in your life is you. What does success look like in this raid? did I learn something new? did I make a mistake? was my pathing too predictable? did I make a bad decision in the moment? watch back your gameplay and compare it to your Tarkov idols. You will notice the small things you do differently than them that cause you to die.
I just completed a bunch of quests in a row so now I went from having basically no armor laying around except some level 6 I didn't wanna throw on random shit to having most of my stash filled with armored rigs. The worst thing I cant even use them for that stupid punisher quest cause of the scav vest. I usually try and bring whatever I got lying around now except for like specific guns I know I'll need later until I like reach 100k or so then I scav back up.
I got over my gear fear by playing with friends that happen to be Chads lol I got used to running to the fight instead of running from it and I always have a Scav if I have no gear
I mean you can be broke with 500k roubles left. But my advice of not having fear is that you always have scav to get free loot. Use your scav to your advantage and try to get out every raid to get your money back. Learn the loot guides on each map. Where's the good things. Don't take risky fights as player scav if you are broke. And remember to survive first and fight later. You are more likely to make more money every raid if you survive your scavs.
I've been killed by player scavs the last 10 scav runs in a row. I've done my very best to avoid all players and ai for the last few weeks just trying to extract. I have less than 10k rubles now at level 22. I don't think I can bring myself to play anymore. Last wipe I had a 70% survival rate and like a 5 kd. This wipe its about 30%. I haven't caught a break in this game in about 2 weeks. Every raid, every map I get spawned right next to a team. I'm a solo. Most of the time I kill the team and then get killed by a scav or another bigger team rushes me as well. At this point, I'm beginning to think Nikita just doesn't want me to play his game. Lol. I've tried so many different guides and routes on all the maps, excluding labs because obviously I can't afford it. Nothing is working for me this wipe. I don't have gear fear, I just can't afford gear anymore. Sorry for long comment.
@@real_reZmi run night time raids as scav more likely to find less people and more loot ;)
New player this wipe, I do runs on factory to get over my gear fear.
solo anxiety is big issue for me :-0 its hard to find the courage to go into the game alone even tho i know i would enjoy it. i love playing with the boys tho.
i horde gear and sell it to make sure other players cant ever use it, and always buy all my lvl 5&6 armor barters every reset and instantly sell to make sure as few other pmc's can run them as possible
Some people just want to watch the world burn
What I do is run what Im comfortable with in term of gun . Modding it to the point Im comfortable ( not best in slot) and use best ammo I can afford to put in it. With armor or helmet I use what I have . But If i find a slick , or chad loadout like altyn helmet etc. I sell their stuff and get the rubles and call it a day. Heavy protection is nice but I like to be agile.
Gear fear literally had my stash too full to loot anything
to minmax the low-end / beginner zone, you need one thing: good budget weapon builds that use ammo wich you CAN buy onm the flea and go trough class 4 & 5 consistantly.
i only came across the .366 AP-M, M80 & PAB-9 GS for VSS ammo wich are worth using with a decent modded gun. feel free to comment additions
I think its a metaphor for life. Go in strong, learn from your mistakes. Pick your battles. Dont quit.
Maybe several more exist?
I do have that solo anxiety somewhat, I l literally tell my friend to get on and play and drag him into everything I am doing and helping him out. Like I am the one doing most of the killing and scouting but somehow that switch is turned off when I am by myself.
Takes time to get over that
Small update - guys pay attention to trades. You can get amazing armor and nicely modded rifles for 1/3 of the Flea or trader price. Example - modded M1A for 18 Winston cigarettes.
That first 2 minutes hit home brutally haha
I was there once too homie
I still have a little solo anxiety but I was the player that I only had gear fear when I'm solo
Tarkov guide king
i have gear fear now because i dont have time to grind so can only use good ammo when i get it off someone else. so if i get a thermal or something thatll be the last time i get to use one until i find one on someone else. i wish everything was back on the flea.
