How I Play Tarkov without Gear Fear - PVP Tips - Escape From Tarkov 

3:00 was nasty

“Use gear that compliments your confidence” literally the best advice I’ve heard for this subject

Not enough people are talking about that fight in basement of reserve with the doors. Shit was nutty lol

Thank you for your content, this is my very first wipe and watching you has helped me mechanically get better at the game. Would love it if you made more updated guides as well but what you have up has already helped a lot so thank you. Much love 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Easily my favorite Tarkov content.. honestly deserves way more subs

very underrated channel, this guy plays so uniquely and hits some disgusting shots, props to u bro

Your point on using gear that's good as an advantage before other people obtain better kits is super valid. Several wipes ago before the armor changes i found myself a Altyn with a faceshield as well as a slick on wipe day. I ran that for like the first two or three days of the wipe before i finally died. Eventually some mosin man found himself some SNB ammo and 1 tapped my helmet but prior to that it definitely carried me through some fights i shouldn't have won.

Great tips. Been playin since Alpha but nice to keep up to date between juggling other games. 4:27 its actually possible to throw insured gear on factory, under the tanks at the end of Glass Tunnel/Gate 3. You can throw all kinds of shit down the pit under those tanks for a guaranteed return. Love the vids though, keep em comin my man 👑

Just remember, it all wipes away in the end. Use it.

For me, i think my main issue was always i just couldnt be bothered with dieing, re gearing up and then waiting for the next raid. I dont mind losing gear coz you can just buy it back anyway. This fear of dieing just to do it all over again is what gets me

Just a note to all with insurance fruading if you are collecting too much insurance back and losing some to timers, insure with therapist as she has a longer hold timer that prapor.

I died 6 times in a row yesterday as a solo, but it was some of the most fun ive had. 3 of the 6 six raids I killed 2 PMCS and in 1 raid I ran into a 5 man and killed 4. zero rubles made but hella fun.

I think a very small percentage of people have "gear fear". For the most part people are afraid of the adrenaline that PvP brings, but have been told in videos or by streamers that it's so-called "gear fear".

regarding insurance frauding, the opposite helped me really get rid of my gear fear. instead of throwing my gear away for another player's gear, i kept it and kept going with it until i eventually died with it. this kind of put into perspective the idea that every item will get lost eventually and its just a part of the game

if more ppl knew about you youd have more subs i been watching tarkov vids and playing for years, imo your one of the best pvp players

I think people can overcome the gearfear after they understand that it pretty easy to farm money on scav. And actually almost every average player has survival rate more than 50%, so you statistically will have more profit raids and don’t even need to farm. Also the less you farm the less you worry about the time you spent on gear, when you die. And don’t forget that better gear give you more chances to survive and probably you want to loose 2 expensive gears and win the 3rd raid rather than loose 20 cheap sets

Excellent tips I’m in my third wipe and I till get gear fear from time to time.

Love the video (including all your videos) could you make one addressing solo anxiety? Keep up the great work dude, I've been binge watching all of your content and you've become my favorite Tarkov content creator. Your play style ... mechanics and game sense is outstanding!

I think my big thing that conquered any gear fear left was use the mega thor class five armor with an rpd I found two buben mags and some heals and went on customs going on a spree with a set of gear well over a mil worth. Just had a blast experiencing something powerful and hard to kill in fighting pmcs and scavs until I finally crumbled losing all of it but got so much fun even though I died. Literally just splurg on a build and fight til you die. You'll learn just how fun it is to go out and not fear fights as much.

I love those kinds of videos when he breakdowns a topic

For me helps a lot when I realize when I have better armor and weapon I survive more and kill more.

2:53 DAMN..... That fight was perfect use of environment.

Never thought about insuring weapons and tossing them somewhere safe! Cheers

Thing that helps me is to use presets for guns that aren’t too expensive for how progressed I am. That way I’m not too attached to them. Die? Just make another one.

Am I alone with this when I say for me it is not GEAR FEAR, but I hate it to be shot from nothing...the jump scares, almost never see the one who shoots me, and last but not least the (way to long) time I need to gear up, and I am finaly in a new RAID. I watch your vids becouse I think you are one of the best TAKOV PVPer I ever seen.

My favorite tip to give for getting RID of gear fear-- i feel most of my fear comes from when I spend 20 minutes looking at attachments and ammo for my "new gun" that i want to try. I build an attachment to the gun/gear itself and how cool it makes my character look. My way around this, just build 3 or 4 kits at a time. Definitely spend the 20 minutes still enjoying the game and building your gun, but when youre finished, make sure you save it and build like 3 or 4! my reasoning behind this is if its new to you, of course youre going to die while trying to figure out the gun. thats why you build 3 or 4 so you can have awesome back to back raids without have to spend 20minutes building another gun/set of gear. When it comes to guns you love, do the same thing! you love the gun so much build 4! TLDR Bulk crafting my kits tricks me into not getting to attached to my gear.

Best tip I've heard about this is, "Not using it is the same as never having it to begin with." It made sense, besides the fact I save it because I can't purchase it yet haha and hoping I can hold my own more by then.

I love your videos, you are cracked, and your voice makes me melt

I think it’s just more or less map knowledge for me and when to utilize certain play styles in certain situations. Like when to Agro peak or play passive and patient I still tend to overthink those situations and I sit for too long and get pushed

PUSH WITH CONFIDENCE/KNOWLEDGE, USE UR BEST GEAR YOULL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING THE FIGHT. SOMETIMES YOU FLAT OUT GET ONE TAPPED BUT YOULL BE SURPRISED AT HOW MANY PLAYERS YOU START TO KILL WHEN YOU ENGAGE IN GUNFIGHTS CONFIDENTLY

By now I’m surprised you’re only at 30k man you’ll blow up soon

Hey man, great content as usual! Love the tips on gear fear. I think a good video idea would be to make a guide about when to heal. I feel like it's something overlooked and there isn't much content about it. As a non-chad (working on it) sometimes I struggle in fights cause I see a blacked or super red limb and get all frozen up cause I feel like I'm one-tapped but see a lot of the great players like yourself, continue to take fights and remove the threats before healing. Just an idea. Thanks again!

Great piece, as always. Keep up the great work. PS You're a beast

easy money glitch finna pyo. make a series called map knowledge, go over every single maps pvp areas and how to play them in certain situations for example go over dorms and show angles talk about how you gain the upper hand in a firefight and so on. most average timmys would pay good money for that no cap.

Generals, firstly tks for the content! One thing I'm trying to improve in the game is the fear of fighting other players, most of the time I try to stay in stealth mode... would you have any advice "to overcome this fear"? Tks!

would love a video on a lightweight kit to run in game bro!!!

what also helped me was just the fact: no matter how much gear you lose duriung a wipe, as the name already states, EVERYTHING is gone anyway when the next wipe hits so are you really losing anything?

Haha I've got the solo anxiety due to a combination of minimal map knowledge, lower mechanical skill, and Tarkov mechanics knowledge. This is my first wipe though so I guess it's to be expected. Hitting a wall with Reserve, Shoreline, and Lighthouse. The only thing that really helps is that I run a cheaper gear set so my deaths aren't too painful....but the Scav has been much more fun to play, which I don't entirely like since I'd like to progress my PMC more.

Quickest way to I feel like is to think about it like we are all taking turns using each other's gear honestly Everybody will get they're turn some way or another but shi is def not forever unless you are hoarding lol

correction: gear fear comes from playing on asia server where meta gear gets you face tapped every raid

I hated my gear fear so much I’ve basically destroyed my stash on multiple occasions. 90% of the time I have an empty ass stash ._. If I don’t use it immediately, I usually sell it and use the money to make something cheaper yet I would be less annoyed with losing.

My lack of confidence is in map knowledge 100% but mainly where enemies will spawn. Where to expect enemies to be. And so much more😂

My pb is not the gear fear it’s the ratio and the survival rate . I don’t care about stuff money I care about ratio pmc kill and SR . This is stupid I know but this is my pb

I feel like a lot of people have genuine fear of dying or the jump of being shot at more than their gear too

I'm going to go ahead and say that Gear Fear is a little bit of a lie. Yes, it exists, but alongside it is a much larger chunk of fear for the time it takes to get into a raid and start playing the game. When I was playing The Cycle: Frontier I experienced almost zero gear fear and was happy to push fights in even the highest tier kits I'd found, because if I died I could re-kit and be *in a live match* in under 2 minutes. In Tarkov, you're lucky to even have your gun put together in 2 minutes.

Can you make a video on guns 100-200k please?

I've come to realize I don't have gear fear, but "die instantly and having to wait another 15 minutes before joining again" fear... 😢

General is wise

My solution was too get rich. I would play raids for money and for fighting. If you have allot of roubles gear fear goes away. Gear fear starts when you use expensive kits knowing you have limited plays considering how many roubles you have.

After 5k hours my gear fear has evolved to a waste of time fear...

Ur game looks amazing i just adjuated my settings and i looks days different

I play both with squads and solo and I always just prefer solo it’s so much easier your not constantly worried about where your teammates at if the sound you just heard was them or not especially when they don’t even help during your gunfights and want you to just kill everyone😂

the thing that pisses me off is the constant cheaters because im in AU servers. Whats the point in running good kits if youre just gonna die to a cheater 50% of the time or ppl who dont move once they hear you running up. Just run the green 6B armour that covers your neck so you dont get 1 shot by scavs and follow the meta weapons

I dont have gear fear, i go out with whatever i can afford. But i just feel trash. I lose almost every fight. I love tarkov, but i just cant play well

great video man!!

All the clips in this were NASTY

Good shit, bro

My question is how do you move like that? Lol Returning player and inertia just trips me out

i dont have gear fear i just think its boring playing solo

big ups

Nice i like this type of content

great vid, great content!

great advice

i lack confidence in the anticheat

MUCH LOVE

I always insure everything bec I normally play with a trio and I died with an ultra chad kit but I didn’t insure the gun bec it was 100k… I got everything else back bec the guy couldn’t find my body

Is there anything specific you do make sure your game is stable at 120 ping ish? Mine starts going crazy sometimes

i want that mouse pad btw where did you get it

bro if you dont mind me asking where did you get that mousepad?? thats exactly what i need

Running shitters just to learn the map forced the gear fear i once had out of my brain, and now 2500 hours into the game I'll still run a shitter mosin just to have some fun.

I did not have gear fear when i started playing tarkov because I came from Rust

did bro said its only been a year since he started playing

Get comfortable with dying. Mistakes are not permanent, you learn and correct.

How do I get better at mechanical skill? First time on pc and this is my first wipe lol and I just suck with mouse and keyboard

actually never had gear fear, its a game just play the coolest stuff you can haha. One advice i can give is trade with real money irl you wont care about the fake money in tarkov no more

Your game looks 5 times smoother than mine, even with a 1.5k pc, fuck it

I don't have gear fear. I have being broke ash

I luv u senpai no general ur da best 🫠🥰

I lost gearfear after i learned how to make money

i just keep telling myself it aint even my kit fr

Stream tonight please❤

I only got gear fear because I have 2000 rupees an aug and no armor/rig/backpack/or ammo 😂😂

I ain't got gear fear I'm just thrifty.

Not even gear fear. Its loading screen fear

youve got a lil bit of a london accent? right?

Step 1 play spt

algorithm

By the way if you insure your gun first then insure your gear it’s free
