Tarkov is a NIGHTMARE for casual players 

Quick easy tip that’ll help a LOT. Always go into raid with a headset. They extend your hearing radius. A lot of your deaths have been because they just hear you coming and sit still to wait for you! A headset would even the playing field.

As someone who just got lvl 15 on their first wipe, your vids are so comforting. knowing that 1) im not the only one strugglign to play this game casually and 2) theres still a chance for people luck us who dont play every day, makes this game so much more berable. Now im gonna do a factory run where i get domed by a level 40 with a bolt action as soon as i spawn

Its no fun watching people with 9000 hours. There is a missing sense of discovery or adventure that comes with a newer player. Love this content and hope you keep persevering in this game we love, it is so rewarding :)

I’ve got 950hrs on the game and still feel like a Timmy most of the time, you’re doing real well brother keep going✊🏽

It's a small little thing, and others have probably recommended it, but when it comes to looting, I'd recommend changing your "discard" hotkey to a shift-LM click. You can hover over an item and shift-left click and it will discard. Works if you're dragging something over to equip into your inventory such as armor, drag the body's armor or rig over to your armor, while still holding LM, hit shift, and it will discard your item. Release LM and it will equip the new item. Also, ctrl-LM by default will move an item into your inventory or off your inventory to an object's inventory and alt-LM will equip an item if the slot is available. Hope the little tip helps someone who hadn't seen or known them. :)

i am begging you to at least bring one heavy bleed item and put it in your quick slot/hotkey bar. just one esmarch, they cost 2k on fence.

Just found the channel, I was in the same position afew days ago, only getting BEAR kills then finally passed it. I think my biggest problem is remembering the extractions by name so I don't need the maps to handhold me. Great vid!

Lighting engine is weird in Tarkov. You may feel like you are in darkness, hidden in the shadows except for the guy who is 50m away and sees you lit up like Times square. That spot at 1:00 - seems really dark, right? Check it out from the outside, it is bright AF from there. This issue really concerns indoor/outdoor transitions so inside the buildings the lights should be more consistent (same outside) but it is not guaranteed. E.g. Interchange suffers from this heavily as well. People push spawns. That's how you get the 11 seconds raids - by staying in your spawn. Factory has some really shitty spawns where you are damned if you move and damned if you don't move. So bear that in mind, you will have to spend a lot of time on the maps to learn their tempo and player spawns. Do not use tracers if you want to be sneaky. Setup is the most annoying unfun quests in the game (along with SBIH). 15 kills in specific gear on Timmy map... it sucks and blocks progress for Skier so people will focus on it exclusively. IMO it should be like 5 kills at most as it really turns customs into "everyone is doing Setup" map for like a month.

Encountering that trio didn’t end well but you’re getting much better so keep with it

this reminds me so much of when i first got into the game over 3 years ago, the nostalgia is immense. tarkov if the only game that, despite constant changes and a new feeling every few months, you can still get nostalgia from seeing new players. i feel like knowing every little detail about the game makes it less enjoyable so being able to experience the beginning again through your gameplay is amazing. im level 36, and the wipes already feeling stale. i even killed zriyachiy 15 times and learned the mine clearing path yesterday just for the fun of it, i wanted those achievements. keep enjoying the game however you please, keep up this series, ill be here watching every single new video!

Something that helped me spot people in Tarkov is to scan your screen right to left instead of left to right. A good support for this case is you dying a lot to targets to the right side. This is an amazing video man I love it ♥

This game is awesome man! So many great people who help as well!

I am a factory main, and yes I am an absolute psycho. It's basically a poor mans labs, and when I was new I practiced PVP there (I just use arena now that it's out for lower risk) but factory is still super fun if you play it right. Also, AIM FOR THE HEAD WHEN YOU SHOOT! You're gonna kill people 10 times faster if you just try to one tap to the head. When you're sniping slow down, and aim like it's CSGO, rather than shooting 15 rounds, giving away your position, wasting precious ammo that is really valuable early game, and having to worry about follow up shots and the guy running away. (Run headphones too they help you hear shit better).

I love LOVE your content. I been playing since 2017 and I watched and still watch a lot of tarkov RU-vidrs …. But only “how to’s and tips”. Yours is the only one I watch ACTUAL gameplay. Love how you narrate!

Always, when your looking for the third on the red barn side of the wall, use the train ramp and slow uncrouch peek above the wall to see if your elevation gives you any vision on them. Then try the left-to-right transition of you see nothing. Elevation is better than peeking everytime.

great content, love to see this kind of videos where tarkov experience is detailed so good

Keep up the good content brother and enjoy playing the game the way you want.

As a lvl 40 with 200 pmc kills already this wipe, my heart goes out to the Timmy's. I was once one of you and I bid you gods speed.

As much as I love the ADAR... If you can manage to tame the AUG A1's sights, it's amazing. The recoil is pretty much inexistant (which makes the sight usable in full auto), it has decent ergo, you literally can't mod it, it's something like 400 / 500$ from Peacekeeeper. The sights are a bit weird in long distance shots, but still usable, and you need PK2 to buy the 30 rounds magazine, else you're stuck with using the one sold with the gun, and 10 rounders one. Having a single 30 rounder got me killed a bunch, but in terms of invested roubles to potential gains, I really think it became one of the good "budget" weapons. (500$ is still around 60 / 70k, but the gun doesn't sellback that well, nothing is strippable, so it's likely to come back.)

thanks for the vid! im pretty new/bad at the game and its so nice watching someone else struggle like me. wish my lame ass friends would get this game already so i have some people to play with haha. nice job man.

Try left shoulder swap when using scopes. It makes them a lot better for long shots. You also need to be wearing headphones. As others have said it increases you hearing range. Higher leveled players will have a better perception skill which also makes hearing distance larger as well. Lastly, bring heavy bleed stoppers, they're cheaper and faster at stopping bleeds than using a medkit. You can always drop them if you need more space. I recommend binding your heavy bleed and medkit on the same number so if you do want to stop your bleed quick you just press 1 button and not have to sift through your inventory.

Great video bud. The editing was really clean!

3:38, Funfact: In the Veritas training guide, he suggested that new player mains Factory because that is the map that force you to git gud

You are getting confident. That's good. I know people who can win a fight against a squad of five relatively easily. They too were struggling at the beginning. Like fairTX, he's an absolute Tarkov ninja.

Now that Arena is out, I would probably recommend giving it a go to get used to the combat aspect of the game. That, plus just going offline with Scavs on High or Horde to practice against. Also: bookmark the wiki ammo chart page. It's best to know what damage, armor pen, and velocity the bullets you're using have.

You should try changing shoulder whenever you need to peek left angles, you will not reveal as much part of your body as you do when you peek left angles without your gun on your left shoulder

By using alt + right click you can turn on the light of your PSO scope btw, could make it easier to use.

if you like the vepr hunter then make sure when you get it to do revision lighthouse. it gets you m80 so when you get to peace keeper 3 you have some pretty viable rounds. also when you get the ability i think you would really enjoy the sa-58

We like pain because it's relatable ;) Tarkov is hard, but it's an absolutely amazing game. See you on the Streest Tacti, thanks for your good mood and content, cheers

This is my first wipe and it’s very refreshing to see gameplay that looks like mine, biggest thing I’ve learned is ammo is very important get familiar w the different pen and dmg values of ammo, keep up the work bro one day we will be chads lol

Hey me brother, Pavlyuchenko here, let me give you valuable advice about ADAR and its perks: 1 - BE MINDFULL of your parts: if you want to snipy snipe with the Woody try to search for bigger barrel, always go for at least the 406mm, for maximum muzzle velocity and lower MOA dispersion; 2 - BE MINDFULL of your ammo: if the ammo you have available is FMJ, M856, RRLP, HP or Warmageddon, aim for LIMBS, those can't scratch most armor, but they leg the living shit out of anyone, only use M855, SOST or M856A1 if you feel like sniping heads for days, those penetrate almost every helmet available in early to mid wipes but not all vests, the other 3 left you can aim for anywhere, the just make minced meant of anything beyond you barrel; 3 - BE MINDFULL to always reposition every time you shoot someone and they don't die, unless you have a supressor, but if everything you have is a flash hider/compensator always have granades with you so you can stop anyone in its tracks if they push you and you can gain more space to reposition and take more shots. Thats to gist of it, good luck brother, stay cheeki breeki :)

Love this series of videos, great work, subscribed!!FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AIM A FEW INCHES UP 🤣the chest will always be the most heavily armoured area

great video, im gonna start trying out your build, any of the poor man builds are right up my alley as a new player

Map/spawn knowledge is everything. Once you get that figured out, things will get better--believe it or not.

Nice to see you on tarkov.

As a fellow Timmy, seeing you prioritizing the helmet to the headset did hurt my heart a bit, but what puzzled me the most was to wonder how you could even afford to - apparently - get this kind of weaponry and scopes for every raid... I don't play with half that luxury and I'm broke as hell already xD And yeah, also as a fellow 5.56 enjoyer, seeing how BAD they are on a constant basis makes me so very sad =') Fun video, good montage, nice humor, that's a sub for me, I'll be following your progress! ^^

Loved this video man, it feels great to see a fellow Timmy running around in Tarkov o7

Loving the channel, I’m new to Tarkov and addicted already!!!

you can press de; on your keyboard to drop an item quickly rather than right clicking something then pressing discard

Something you probably already do but, I would look up the EFT ammo chart. Sometimes it's not your aim the bullet just doesn't do damage. As someone who just started this wipe, it helps. I also like making videos where I'm not trash at the game 😢

My favorite thing is getting killed by players with obvious ESP wall hacks. And I got killed today by a 5 wall ricochet by a level 10 with a 15kd and 110.hours played....the cheating is maybecthe worst in all of gaming right now. Yesterday I got in a pmc raid, ran 5 feet looted some crates and all the loot was gone....

Wow you really up the quality on this. Keep going

"the toughest opponents" kills an ai scav...

Small tidbit. Use scav mode a lot. Free money + weapons early on. When using bolt actions or sniper rifles ALWAYS bring a secondary whether a cheap ak like aks-74u or a pistol and most importantly always bring a headset. A cheap 10k headset can improve your hearing by like 10-20 meters

for any of you new people, scavs are aimbot on a timer. the more you expose yourself to them the deadlier they are. they will aim to get your arms, legs, torso and head, eyes. scavs can see realistically, back in the day they would see you behind bushes and folliage. if you can see them they can see you too. 1) they have good hearing, sprinting particularly sets them off. 2)they will do Russian callout first. means you are detected and will start targeting after that. (kill them before they finish their babbling) 3)when in a fight with scavs never repeat the same angle or peek twice or you'll get head, eyes'd 4) you can de aggro them, hide behind cover, lower your stance, and lower your speed until the litte speaker icon (noise level indicator) below your stance meter goes int the minimum. move backwards slowly until they forget about you. they will reset their idle animations, after that you can re engage. even chads get head, eyes. Good luck warriors.

what do u use to edit. LOVE the video

It's nice to see someone who's in the same boat as myself. Keep it up

Fun fact those early kill pmcs quests are easily done on ground zero

please start wearing headsets in tarkov! they help you hear footsteps much sooner and clearer

correction its pain and suffering for all players

at 8:08 when the music dropped proper thought you was gonna dink him lol, Love the vid also what is the music used at 8:08

Randomly came across your channel. Nice to watch someone real play eft that isn't sweaty mcChad >_< don't be too hard on yourself mate!

Alt left click on item to equip it, so you can pick up the headset

its not about "becoming a chad" its about making your own playstyle.

I'm a casual player too... In fact I only just started the wipe this morning. 2 raids on the new map and got all the initial quests done... Now to find shotties and unlock Mr Jaeger. Let the real fun (pain) begin! ☠️🤓

for all casual tarkov gamers; i recommend you to look up the loot spawns(primarily bitcoin or valuable) on whatever map your comfortable with and know well and make a route you can consistently follow from different spawns to make good rubles, use your scav and hideout lavatory for alot of quest items, and pvp comes along as you get more experienced, try and learn lighthouse rouges even as a scav you can find alot of good m4's scars and auto ak's with good scopes like the ps-320 and specter aswell as teir 4 n 5 armor, it is currently my main source of gear until i get better trader levels.

People who are relatively new this wipe keeping at it and learning is really awesome to see. There’s nothing better, I mean NOTHING, than beginning to really get the hang of this game. It’s an awesome feeling.

Sell the compass and leatherman, it adds weight that is not needed

Wasn't expecting a Bible quote at the end, but it is good

I feel you bro. I have to rat through all the fn quests just to get to decent gear to do pvp to begin with. The game wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the grind.

Love your energi man

First of all, it is refreshing to get a "newbies" point of view. Tarkov is a HARD game and even after thousands of hours, I get "tarkov'd" daily. Echoing other comments, sound is 75% of this game. Prioritize a headset over a helmet every single time if funds are tight. Being able to hear someone first or at least at the time time will greatly increase your chances of survival. The ammo you shoot is also super important. If your ammo only has 15 pen and someone is wearing T3 armor, you're not going to penetrate their armor and will mostly likely lose that fight, no matter how many times you connect. The other thing I would point out, having to do with sound, is that the faster you swivel, the louder the sound. Swiveling slowly helps reduce that noise. Also, when crouched or slow walking, pay attention to your white triangle indicator. If it is all the way to the left and you are crouched, you make ZERO sound. Meaning you can slow crouch walk into a better position without the enemy gaining any sound queues. That will help when trying to get into a better position. Anyway, I could go on and on... Good luck on the raids and try not to get discouraged. Its brutal out there! I also appreciate the scripture brother :)

Biggest tip I can give is try and aim face a little bit more. A lot of the time you are hitting upper chest. If you take 1 more moment to pull your aim up you will grab a kill a lot faster

When I saw the Adar I though you legit might have looted my body sometime this wipe, lol

You should definitely utilize control+left click and alt+left click to make your looting much faster. Makes a big difference in gameplay. The longer you are looting the longer you are vulnerable.

just go ahead and load into factory with a double barrel and a few Express Buckshot Rounds and just enjoy the ride. i would recommend getting up on the Walkways and just running around there and shooting whatever you see and dont forget, DONT STOP RUNNING!

anyone got tips for this quest?? ive only been able to kill 4 and no dog tags

I’m 10 days in and already lvl 20 on my first wipe. It’s all just game knowledge and how fast one can learn the maps and the quest / gun systems. Coming from a fps backround the aim is already there it’s just learning map call outs at a certain point.

I wish there would be a game mode where we can respawn on the map (like a free for all type) and practice without loosing loot.

Its great content watching someone new trying to figure the game out. One thing I always struggle with, especially playing solo, is just basic patience. Can I shoot at this guy right now? Yes. Would it be better to wait and guarantee the kill? Also yes.

I am level 12 for the first time and this game is truly scary. I have hearing loss on my right ear so I struggle a bit when it comes to sounds in games, so this game gives me proper PTSD. Really addictive to play though

Great vid. Its nice to watch tarkov content from someone who hasn't already played 5000+ hours 😄

I just watch your first video, and I realize we got the same struggle, I understand it very much man, great content👍👍, but after 500 hours playing I guess I got better, or I hope so 😂😂

ahahaa that guy crawling at 7:27 xD

I am STILL struggling with Friend from the West, and it is incredibly stressful knowing that the longer I play, the harder it gets

Adar is a awesome weapon platform, im useing all the time :D

Hahaha! Finally, someone who plays on my level :D This was very relatable / enjoyable.

That trio was good, but clearing those angles before going on the other side of the wall since you weren’t 100% on his location might’ve won you that. N start aiming for the head!

Using grenades on factory is a must in my opinion, I chuck one at the start of raid at the closest spawn point next to me to fish them out and disorient them and I chuck em to fish AI scavs because theyll say something everytime a grenades thrown

I started playing month ago and struggled with the AI scavs at first. Now i kinda learned a bit and gear and guns make a lot of difference and also knowing where PMCs and Scavs spawn and extraction points are also very important. One good scav run can fund 2 PMC loadout so I don't run around like a hobo :P

My biggest issue with this game is the TTK…idk why an old Soviet steel helmet is stopping 9mm out of an MP5 or why people are eating multiple 7.62x51s to the chest. We’re talking 700-1000ms TTK on average in every fight not alter what unless you headshot.

Why do you not wear a headset? Not even a free Tac Sport from that PMC you killed near the machine shop.

Oh, that painful movements remind me of how I started, except even picking with right hand to left side is painful to watch now. Still, game becomes much more interesting when you know what you are actually doing.

fire Video bruh, Tim tactics.

Love this series

No worries mate..i.m playing from Uk from a laptop..with ..WI- FI connection..abisimal..30-40 fps on it..and i still have the same abisimal playes..fuck it..i just move in front..even if in this connection i seem abisimal bad..if i got into my country Romania with 130 fps...different story!..but keep going with your play and show to a average player what to expect..you have a new subcriber to your channel!

When you first start, everyone thinks Factory sucks because it’s tiny quarters and you don’t know where anyone’s going to attack you from. Then you learn all the spawns and after that you know exactly how much Factory sucks.

Def do more vids like this in Tarkov I enjoyed it brother

That's what i was looking for, as a starting player seeing a youtube video of someone as bad as me at the game is great great edits too keep it up :)

Hi may i know ur graphics settings and postfx?

You were better than me yet, I took until lvl 23 to finish Friend From the West lmao

I agree with most vets on here, I got close to 2100 hours and I love watching these new guys get into the game. I envy the “new adventures” stage a lot but at the same time it’s hard for me to play live without a proper anti cheat

I’ve played for a few wipes and this one might be the first I get flea. I love playing Tarkov casually and mainly with 1 or 2 other people just because there are so many fun strategies. I don’t care very much about progression I just scav for money then do some funi.

I subbed strictly due to the obscure Dodgeball reference 😂

I’m glad you seem to be enjoying the game now after your video about disliking the game a year or so ago. This wipe has definitely been one of the best wipes in the game’s history.

Offline raids are kinda boring, but . . . extremely helpful to learn little details about the map, movement, lines of sight, how Scavs behave, etc.

i've finally reach lvl 15 with this quest 🥳🥳🥳

The only good way to help with this and the EASIEST way to extend the earlygame. Make the traders TIME DEPENDANT NOT LEVEL!!!! Basicly, every two weeks you get a level with a trader, and its the same for EVERYONE. Meaning everyone has acces to the same traders throughout the wipe, then the flee is available from the start, or atleast early. But with limits to what can be sold and bought (Like today)- This simple change to level the playing field, and keep the game worth coming back to since you could hop in mid wipe, and be on closer terms with the tryhards and nolifes

how do you overcome the solo anxiety

It is a pain for casual players because tarkov is not a game you play casually.. you need to practice, suffer and put in hours and hours to get better and learn from your mistakes.. and when you dies hundres times and lost your whole inventary a couple times then you will learn and then the game is fun when you know how ro move and which risks you take and which don't.. i love it and it is my favorite game.. i was never investet in a game like tarkov before besides pubg
