Can casual players FINALLY enjoy Tarkov? 

dude im right with you i couldnt play and then i decided because of the patch to try again and omg im killing servers like wtf this is awesome

No Hause i dont have a pc

Started the wipe and I’m liking it. Played around in a single player practice on the new map running around vaulting on things. There are a lot of places where you can abuse the vaulting but I still think it’s a good change

So cool to see you in Tarkov man, for me even before this patch this is one the best games ever, the feeling, the satisfaction when accomplishing a goal or just getting a single kill it's unmatched. Are you playing EFT Arena also?

And the game has tons of cheaters

Have you shot any ar full auto? You have zero control after the 3rd bullet

@@TheUltimateHacker007 Are you high ? The recoil is near perfect

@@theslavicrat3784 the gun bounces like crazy and the sights become completely unaligned. My pmc is almost holding his gun sideways. You're just describing how pistols shoot

Full auto of what caliber? Up to assault rifles caliber (5.56) full auto is definitely viable in fairly close encounters as long as you control it (and in game you control it with the mouse). It's only battle rifles that are really bad in full auto.@@TheUltimateHacker007

@@TheUltimateHacker007 have you actually played this wipe?? One of the main upgrades to recoil is that your sights don’t go off your screen…

exactly it's so exciting to see how most people are really enjoying this wipe. bsg is winning rn for sure

I think you guys are nuts. Im casual and tried to play this wipe and I’ve had nothing but ultra sweats camping objectives and head face after head eyes after top of the head again and again and again. You could tell me to get gud, but I already know I’m shit and I don’t think that’s possible outside of 1000s of hours put into the game.

@@ryanmitchell4044 I can bet that your problem is running from spawn instantly to complete objectives. Best way to complete quests at start is to run night raids and wait some time before moving from spawn. This way you will avoid most people and when it's 20 minutes to raid end most quests doors will be open as well. Tarkov is slower game then most people realise :)

@@ryanmitchell4044 casual play can be tough but like the pepe guy says, you should take your time when trying to get those early wipe quests done because pretty much everyone has the same objectives. if you just take it slow you'll make it!

@@rarestpepe8835 that’s a weird assumption, I waited in the bushes at customs for 20 minutes for these people to leave the objective. The last thing I’m doing is just B lining it into an objective, but they weren’t ever planning on leaving they were there for me. Eventually got to the point I was starving to death. Got up knew there was a player somewhere inside the tree in front of me, but that didn’t matter. Head face. I couldn’t see him at all staring right at his muzzle flash, but he saw me like I was standing in an open field. One of countless times.

nahh now everyone is a USPSA grandmaster

Clearly the devs haven't either. That's a huge generalization, a mp5 9mm full auto is nothing compared to a SA58 3 0 hate full auto. @@collinmurphy107

@@collinmurphy107dawg I know from personal experience full auto guns do NOT have tarkov recoil

@@collinmurphy107 might wanna hit the gym btw.

SMG pray would be meta early stages

well... the barrel is rifled, so?... :D

it uses 9mm which blows the lung out of the body so it's basically a rifle

It's got a stock! What would the ATF call it???

@@TactiGamer not a rifle? its not chambered in rifle caliber therefore it is not a rifle..

@@void8010 he's obviously joking

Yeah same here 8k hours and counting already level 25 and I love seeing all these new players. Glad to see the casuals coming in (free kills) and seeing more people enjoy this beautiful game

Oh yeah, that'd be THE GOAT thing to happen, honestly.

You should look into stalker gamma 💯

@@dotdot-yt Or SPT, but neither of them has coop

theres a new game coming out called grey zone warfare, should be what youre looking for. Its like ghost recon wildlands but more realistic, first person, and pvp as well.

real

Facts, ive been playing since 2018 but never have gotten past lvl 20ish in a wipe and i still feel like a noob. Quiting before unlocking the flea is like quitting in the tutorial lol

Plot twist, people could have played tarkov before the flea was implemented

Right the game becomes completely different hahaha

Flea marketing propaganda

You'll love it👍🏼

I think you'll like it now, Terry!

its awesome.

put it in reverse terry!!!

We await your opinion, if you enjoy do let us know!

Yeah you still can’t get decent ammo without high level traders.

It probably still will Nikita has shown he doesnt really want to listen to players

As another milsim guy I say Tarkov is still arcade to milsim standards but its slowly moving there.

@@17MrLeon Lol sure thing bud.

I only got to lvl 20 after months of playing but never winning fights, basically headbutting my way to the flea, god i wasted so much time in eft

⁠@@elgringofeo9348same on the very off chance I win a fight in this game it almost certainly comes down to pure luck. I can be aiming right at someone and not hit them at all and for them it’s like my character is one big head and eyes.

@@ryanmitchell4044 yeah gunfights feel off for me in eft in a way ive never seen before, idk if its desync or whatnot but ive generally am fine in any other game, im not great but im decent, its always felt off

never unlocked the flea market? HOW?? One can unlock the flea market in 3-4 weeks just by doing the fetch quests and not killing 1 pmc.

@@elgringofeo9348 @ryanmitchell4044 what you are saying is exactly how i experienced this game for multiple wipes until i learned the following which totally transformed the game for me: 1. there is always desync: if you wait for the person to come around the corner before shooting, that person is actually ahead and sees you first. you must always push, not react, charging around the corner will give you the lag advantage. 2. ammo ammo ammo ammo: what comes out of the gun is more important than any gun or armour. a worn out m4 from a scav with good ammo is more deadly than a 3000 000 rouble HK416 build with weak ammo. using low grade ammo against enemies with even cheap armour who has good ammo puts you at a disadvantage because you have to hit him with 10-15 rounds because your low grade ammo is being absorbed by their armour, while it only take like 3-4 of their good ammo to blast through your armour and kill you first. the above 2 points are why you feel like you are getting killed instantly while you gun does nothing: tis because you are lagging behind the enemy and you are hitting him but your weak bullets does not kill whilst their good ammo kills you first. 3. full auto is the name of the game: there is no single shot nothing if its an assaults rifle or smg. you go out of your way to get the best ammo. if you got weak rounds aim for the thighs or if you got armour piercing rounds aim center mass then MAG DUMP until the enemy falls over. the trick is to control the recoil and keep moving while hitting the target . no crouching or prone single shot pew pew. its drrrrrrr down sight whilst strafing left or right. 4. he ain't dead until you see his stash. 5. there is always another enemy, double check before looting. 6. don't play on the standard edition, minimum prepare for escape edition- the standard stash is just way too small in the beginning. having a larger stash (and secure container) for quest items and gear before unlocking the flea is like pay to win.

Having high recoil made sense for the Scavs at least, because they are meant to be just regular people who's training might be at best, a half-remembered conscription where they didn't learn shit.

@@TripleAlfafa the main problem wasn't the high recoil (though that was one of them), it was how the recoil handled. the rifles or any other gun with a stock would have insane muzzle flip and just bounced around, which is physically impossible when firing a stocked firearm. it's meant to recoil into your shoulder and upwards, as depicted with the new recoil.

i could see the purpose, like maybe it could be tied to the mastery mechanic and the more you use a weapon the faster you can handle and manage recoil

its because the game is an RPG rather than just a shooter so you're expected to get better at skills through use, leveling and getting better attachments. good in theory but just not implemented well. so many people see it as just a hard shooter and forget its closer to an MMO-RPG grind than other shooters out there. but the complaint is the same, the recoil sucked hard and didn't make sense lore wise, as you said with the whole trained PMC idea. this is the first wipe where ive hit flea and level 2 traders in 3 days flat where before it took me weeks. i finally feel like i can actually fight and win.

They aren't regular people. The scav description says they are former pmc's​@@TripleAlfafa

Yesterday I killed a lvl 26 ttv sweatlord, and even got his armour intact. Armpit meta is real :-)

@@kmieciu4everwill it sit in your stash for a couple weeks?

@@Boosted_aj Already lost it to a lvl 1 player. It appears that AK-74M with PSO-1 does mąkę a good DMR :-)

I don't like quests in Tarkov. I like how maps are designed with a lot of details but that's problem where players see me and I can't see them. That's why I quit Tarkov.

Ye grinding up hideout becomes really tedious, and I played a lot of arena so I missed the beginning of the wipe, and now it kinda feels pointless cuz I can't possibly keep up with all the chads, I think im gonna stay with arena this wipe.

yeah i like to feel that when is my fault and not some dumb rng and rpg mechanics

then tarkov wouldnt be tarkov cope with it

Then don't engage the squads. play smart. play for survival.

@@Septicshites I was playing this game almost from the beginning, don't tell me what is Tarkov.

Tarkov is not Fortnite. There are no rules about teaming, you can team with whomever you want whenever you want.

@@johnrenzcahilig9858 it's not that simple.

I liked it too don't worry

The flea is a gutted shell of its former power. Really just useful for hideout and gun parts now. There's almost no good gear on the flea.

what? its gives access to better parts before you can unlock them if anything it helps

You mean the one way to reliably get just about anything you want? The traders don’t offer shit, and the shit they do offer is, well, shit. I like being able to kit out a weapon to my satisfaction without having to spend dozens of hours questing (punching myself in the crotch) to get rep

Bro is onto nothing 🔥 🔥 🔥 🗣🗣🗣

In your tarkov, the casual playerbase will have absolutely no chance against the streamers/no lifes who play 7 hours a day due to gear inequality being through the roof. Any altercation to item rarity and loot spawns has only ever been in favor of the extreme players, since their hours mitigate the rarity compared to everybody else. We have already seen this with the flea-hightier ammo changes. These players still run 5a1/995 every raid, yet nobody else can get their hands on even 6a1. The flea market helps balance this.

I think every one of his videos have it!

Nah, you still can buy good medicine, decent armor, mid and some high tier weapon with acceptable ammo, grenades, backpacks, armored masks (even META) and so much other stuff just from the Flea. You need to lvl up the traders only for better prices, 5+ armor plates and some limited things like RPD, Spear, KS-23, AXMC. Now skill is more important than raw price of equipment on a PMC.

@@remix2822 you dont need armor this wipe cause you will still die from head throat most of the time with current recoil control and any shitty bullet will penetrate that class 3 throat protection :D I also disagree with skill is more important now then before, I was smashing those geared bois on shoreline resort / interchange and customs running in just tactec and as val / sa-58 previous wipes and i didnt even need to make meta val, just any ergo grip in front with laser cause aiming down the sight in this game doesnt reward you at close-mid distance, people werent that afraid to push previous wipes, now its just waiting game when they will hear your steps, not even try to crab walk, people will just sit in 1 spot for 20 minutes afraid to peak and since there is little to no recoil and extra too many hitboxes if you get ambushed by such rat you wont survive this time because you will get head throat or armpit hit, spraying with svd / shotguns and other 762 calibers feels like shooting a bb gun, now game is not rewarding for those who spend many hours playing it, no point in playing 6-8 h daily, if you remember how it was in alpha tarkov(if u had a chance to experience it) fights in my opinion were much better in alpha cause of very bad recoil that forced people to push each other at close distance (there was no face hitbox back then btw, headshot was just a headshot), fights were longer and they felt in my opinion more rewarding, even when you got that shitty loot from the enemy (cause there was little content in game) the feeling after won fight was really good and there were so many 4-5 man squads all the time, fun times

Exactly, its a joke, idk if its desync or just unrealistic armor or something. If you get shot on thorax multiple times u should at least drop down..

100 percent

No. I think that's to far..killing some high lvl juicer with meta everything is part of the fun

@@steveng7007 oh yeah true, but maybe ground zero could have proper matchmaking for the noobs to lvl up?

Actually you match with people up to level 20 still. They have plans to change this to 2 separate maps 1-14 and 15+, because trying to do ground zero right now is horrid since those 15+ people get flea and can just dominate the map, which is why I'm still level 5 and unable to finish the quests lol.

That's true, but I've not felt so refreshed at the start of the wipe ever, even my first wipe felt so much more unfun compared to this one, and I was on the verge of skipping this wipe. Hopefully with all the additions and balances there's more longevity throughout the wipe.

think about a battle royal but you keep the gear you get from previous raids, so you go map to map doing quests and looting stuff while also fighting both players and npcs. the "fun" part is that when you die you lose everything you had on you and that risk reward makes fights very tense.

@@thisnameistemporary6434Interesting, so I hear there's periodic "wipes" so would it be similar to Rust then in that way? You can do very well and get the best gear but after the wipe you have to restart? Or are there no wipes

@@stoched wipe was 1 week ago and it wipes every 6 Months. They do plan to stop wiping at some point but thats unclear.
