Veritas, I have been following you for awhile. And I have owned tarkov for 3 years. But in owning it 3 years I probably haven't even logged 45 hours of total play time on it. I was an on and off player. Part of this was my job getting in the way at the time, part of this was the steep skill gap this game has but I have always enjoyed it. Recently with patch 0.13 I have come back on, having last played at 12.12 with intertia introduced. This time however, I decided I wanted to go all in with this game. Ive watched enough of your streams and pestily's streams that I feel the itch to "get good" THANK GOD FOR THIS VIDEO. Veritas, you produce Tarkov masterpieces when it comes to the content you upload to RU-vid! But of all the masterpieces, this video has got to be the coup de grâce of all videos. Dare I say the absolute best Tarkov video ever created?! Best because it tackles the very purpose and essense of this game with a full blown strategy...for if you can't figure out the absolute basics of playing, then why would you play? This video serves as a launching pad for ANYONE who is struggling in Tarkov. Before this video, I still had gear fear...and AI scavs sometimes would wipe me out. After this video, I just dropped 7 in factory before extract. It only took me a day of taking advice from this video to start actually performing. THANK YOU! Thank you for taking the time to make this to help others, and thank you for being so articulate and educated in your presentation. Truly, some of the absolute best Tarkov content on the internet.
EXACT same as this guy. I built my first rig in 2020, bought the game, played here or there...been watching Veritas on Twitch since then and many others. Gona start doing factory.
@@R2B2YT update: sometimes shit happens but for the past couple of days I haven't died once as a PMC in raid. My last raid I killed 5 scavs with minimal damage & with a backpack so heavy it drained stamina just walking (full of loot). This works. The strategy of this game is played so differently to other shooters. Just throw out everything youve ever known about how you play other shooters and accept the fact that this game requires retraining yourself on FPS. Its really rewarding once you figure it out. The stakes in this game are real...its so easy to get killed. So theres alot more thought placed into what you are doing and why you are doing it. Overtime of playing, but rather playing consistently it will stop being such a huge challenge and start being very rewarding. The biggest advice I can give to start seeing improvements is to give 0 fucks about the gear you have on. That doesn't mean you go in with a trash setup, but just remember that gear can be replaced or looted. In the past everytime I engaged in a fight, there was this sinking stomach butterfly feeling of life or death lol, almost like I was really there and doing whatever it took to get out of a fight alive. Dying is apart of tarkov. One other piece of advice I would recommend is to set your music volume to 0. This might just be me...but the moment I made the music 0, is the moment I saw the biggest increase in survival after following the teachings of this video. There is something about hearing the tarkov hard rock music before a raid where you know you could loose everything that seems to psyche you out as you sit in long queue times. But a silent queue time provides a whole lot more peace and focus. Thats just my thoughts on why I feel im doing better. I liken it too not hearing a familiar tone that I always hear before I go into a raid and inevitably fail. Hearing nothing, calms you way down and helps you not have that feeling of "another one" Good luck. Everyday is improvement Edit: also, prioritize bleeds before healing. Say you win a fight, but die right after, you probably have 2 heavy bleeds you didn't even realize. Bleeds suck away your HP. So if you win, stop bleeds first, maybe heal right after or loot quickly, and reposition for heals and blacked limbs. But not stopping bleeds right away or broken bones is most certainly gonna result in you dying right after a won fight.
Set small goals you know you can reach for yourself, one at a time "Improve at the game" is vague, and at best too long-term to matter as an objective. "Survive a factory raid with 1 PMC kill" is direct, straight forward and achievable. Once you do that, turn it into "Survive a factory raid with 3 PMC kills" and go on like that This is not only helpful in tarkov but anything in life really, aim at very concrete and very short-term goals that will act as small steps to your ultimate goal of improving at that thing
Using smaller goals as stepping stones of progress and motivation, and you will be achieving larger goals before you know it. This is in fact great stuff for IRL, so thanx for dropping that knowledge for everyone's benefit. Somebody that has/will read this, needed to hear it.
@@soquel_8313 how so? Its better to freak of being an astronaut but love being a garbage man. I set to own a home by 24 didn't happen till 28 setting the goal is the most important step
@@shuunanigans the problem with that advice is that you don't achieve goals which easily makes you think of yourself as a failure, destroying motivation to continue
One thing that I'd like to re-emphasize for using this technique is the importance of occasionally doing something else. If you find yourself bored, tired, or overly frustrated with your raids and you find your performance getting worse, don't hesitate to go try something else for a bit, regardless of whether or not your schedule says you're "ready". Your body and mind have evolved for thousands of years to tell you when you're approaching burnout, so listen to them.
Woah this well said. This happens alot to me as I'm too thick headed and determined to quit. I can literally die like 10 raids in a row, and I'll still be like "This next raid is gonna be the one". I've gotten better though at realizing when that happens I do get burned out and play the game only because of my stubbornness. Burnout is such a real thing.
Very true. Trying to do that task but can't? Go do some factory PVP. Not having a good time? Do some stash runs. Or even find a tree 😈 just mix it up and you will for sure find enjoyment again
I really needed that, even with 1400 hours, it helped reframe the game for me and reminded me to use all of the tools in my toolkit like crouch walking and going prone specifically. There is no chad, there is no rat, only survival.
@@rpgfeatures793I have 2000 hours on rainbow six spread out across 5 years. I also work 60 hours a week. You act like bro put those hours in in a month 😂😂
Honestly its truly nice when watching these guides with background gameplay and it DOESN'T show amazing clips! It helps us learn different outplays watching other people who struggle while also getting tips in the ear from an experienced player that also knows the struggle and learned before me! Thank you for the helpful vid, jsut got the game and lookin for all the help I can get, its a difficult ass game ha!
Recently purchased Escape from Tarkov after thoroughly enjoying the Dark & Darker playtests and realizing that I *like* the hardcore style of game. I enjoy the loop of dropping into an area with the same risk and potential reward as everyone else. I like the contest for loot, extraction, and all the interactions in between. This video was genuinely helpful. Hope to see more like it.
When I search tarkov tutorial on RU-vid and found a Playlist with 100-ish video with every video have 10-15 minutes length it got me thinking, man it's must be easier to finish mechanical engineering degree than fully understanding this game Anyway thanks for providing good tutorials and information to the clueless newbie such as myself
This technique worked so well for me. First time playing, I would go in and get demolished by scavs as soon as I ran into them. Did the factory offline high quantity runs for a few hours, next raid I loaded into I killed a level 42 PMC at level 1. The raid after that I killed 14 scavs on woods in 5 minutes before I went down cause I got caught out by too many of them
This is really, really good advice. I started in the middle of last wipe, and I'm 41 on this one, but I'm still not very confident with my PvP abilities. I'm absolutely going to start doing Factory offline raids with your rules in place to get a bit better. I've become complacent because I always play with friends who play aggressively and I either end up dying first or picking up the scraps most of the time.
@@caseyshaw7995 There are a handful of Scav "bosses" in the game that are basically just really, really powerful Scavs (the new ones they just added are really powerful Rogues). They can have special gear and other items needed for tasks. They usually hang out with a posse of other Scavs protecting them. If you want more info on them, look up Big Pipe, Birdeye, Glukhar, Killa, Knight, Reshala, Sanitar, Shturman, and Tagilla.
Probably one of the better Tarkov videos I've seen on RU-vid in terms of advice, no sugar coating, no B.S. I've only done offline raids so far and always get surprised killed by an AI I didn't see. I'll be taking a lot of this advice into my training!
I have been watching a LOT of twitch and loads of YT videos over the last 2 years. I bought ETF on 28.01.22 and got ~100 hours ingame... most of them running as a scav due to GearFear and and obsession to manage my stash while scav timer runs out :D This is the first beginners-guide that made me pull out paper and a pen to take actual notes! - I sincerely think this one is going to be a Game Changer (pun intended) for me :) Everything made sense to me - THANK YOU Mr. V
my number one tip for gear fear, and how i got over it, was to just use it, at the end of the day its just pixels, and even if you die as you spawn, its fine, on to the next raid. one day someone asked a streamer (i think pestily) how to get over gear fear, and the dude just told him "this way" and just exited the raid he was in, losing all of his stuff. that kind of got the point across to me personally, idk if its of any help to you, but i hope it is!
Here's my tip Turn your PMC into a scav... so you do scav runs with your PMC Like sometimes i use a pistol and go into a raid kill a scav get some bigger gun and then loot and then extract... works nice and is very fun
This game is going to wipe many more times before the official release. I always start playing better once I think of the current wipe as practice for the next one. As much as I love hoarding good weapons, I will either lose them when the game wipes (resets everyone's progress), or right now out in the battlefield. Better to die with them than have them just disappear from my stash some day.
I’ve attempted to try to get into this game and I’ve failed several times literally because of starting at customs, you’re a life saver and earned every bit of this sub 🔥🔥 thanks so much
This is the best learning video on EFT on RU-vid. I am currently going through your video a third or fourth time. I have been playing Tarkov for maybe a couple weeks. I'm mediocre at best a regular FPS games, but I was atrocious at Tarkov. Even normal scavs usually killed me. I'm now using your training technique and my combat skills have improved very much, and with that my confidence in the game. This video deserves more exposure than it has. I've become obsessed with Tarkov and your technique has eased my beginner frustration very much. Thank you!
Great video. I’m a new player a couple months into my first wipe, and I initially tried factory to get my PVP bearings, but it was just too fast paced for me. Frustration would often get the better of me. Interchange actually ended up being BY FAR the best map for me to learn on. You can choose to avoid the mall completely, and just stick to the outer loop, so there’s less PVP but not zero PVP. The map is basically a square, easy to learn the layout. Emercom to Power Station to Railway to Scav Camp, it’s so much easier initially to just think “I need to go to that top corner to extract” rather than “I need to get to this one landmark and then this other one and then I’m at the extract.” And this map also makes it so most of your engagements are linear, while moving in a straight line from one corner to another. And also with those easy to learn ground/barrel caches you can get some pretty solid loot to start out with. Don’t sleep on Interchange!
I agree with a lot of this. Factory is something you should focus on after you’ve scuffed your elbows a few times Getting used to gun/movement mechanics. Tarkov is more than just pvp shenanigans, that’s what makes it unique. But yeah, Factory is a place that instills gear fear in new players.
Also the perk of learning the stores by training here will make you king latter, this is one of the hardest maps to learn for me, unlike Customs. The sheer amount of map knowledge cramped in such a small place is overwhelming sometimes
New to your channel, but as someone who has a lot of corporate learning & development experience, I have to say that they way this video is structured is really excellent. The pacing keeps it compelling, and you give enough actionable advice that feels digestible and attainable. I've been playing Tarkov and slowly improving over the past couple weeks, and this video helped me reflect on what has been most impactful to my skillset improving: repeated exposure to combat scenarios improving my response time and spatial awareness, as well as minimizing my reluctance to engage in routine engagements. Anyway, thought this video was terrific. Thanks for putting it together.
I just found your channel and honestly, you are the closest, nah cross that, the only channel actually dissecting the problem with new players, is that you can’t learn by just keep on dying. Hat off you to and I’m now a subscriber. When ever I spawned, I just don’t know where the heck I’m at, maps online doesn’t exactly have a name for a the location so you go on and just name it, the spawn at Old Gas station I just call it “death trap” for my very first raid because I can’t get out of that area and there is no exactly guidance. I literally lost 6 hours of going in, die under 3 minutes while exploring till’ I know there is literally 1 gate to get through which there likely a scavs check point or a sniper waiting for you on the other side so you die and again because it’s so open and i don’t know how to trace the voice line until I get a bullet in my head and yep, back again. Also, I just wish that there is some short of match making in this game so new players can learn together as there will be new players around your skills.
I’m pretty experienced with Tarkov and just like to come to these videos for fun and maybe something that I can think about. But yesterday I killed 4 pmcs on interchange and heard more footsteps later in the raid and instantly ran towards it. Then I realized how much gear I had, so I turned around and left. That bit about knowing when to leave or to keep raiding, is great.
I've been trying to get my friends into Tarkov for a while and they recently got the game. I think they enjoy it, but they are definitely put off from a lot of the things you mentioned in this video that new players deal with. I thought Customs would be a good place for them to start, but I'm going to send them this video and start taking them to Factory.
Woods is an underrated map! Emercom is incredibly useful for early wipe as it has lots of meds and food, plus scav spawns both inside and outside of the compound for XP grinding both close range, mid, and long range shooting. Further, once you learn the map its incredibly easy to stay hidden and move through it undetected.
@@colibri2025 I don't, my comment is somewhat unrelated to the video, it's more for new players that are just scrolling through the comments looking for ideas. This is just a random opinion I have that might show someone a fresh outlook.
@@soundingtheskies new player scrolling through comments looking for ideas here, I'm maybe 10 raids in - all on woods. 0 PMC kills so far. I felt hugely accomplished making it from my scav spawn to extract on raid like 8 but helpless in combat. What is Emercom? Is that an area on woods? I need meds for the therpist quest
@@muteall2814 emercom is the outpost with all the shipping containers, barbed wire, and watchtowers on woods. Look up a map, it's by the water not far from sawmill in the middle.
Been playing on Woods the last few weeks and it's really fun to scav on once you get the basic layout down although as a newer player I died A LOT trying to get scav kills for a quest. It's so damn pretty too, I sometimes stop to just admire the landscape.
Just wanna say how much I enjoy your music. I listen to it while studying, and was really surprised it's you, aka the same guy I watch play Tarkov. When I finish uni and get a job, I'm gonna send some coins your way, you deserve it man. I racked up one thousand hours of pathology studying and 600 hours of Tarkov. That's a lot of time listening to your music.
This is great advice coming from someone who only started middle of last wipe. Learning to fight the AI on factory also gets you used to keybinds which are so whacky in this game. This is the only game I play where I prefer toggle ADS rather than hold and if I had learned some of those preferences earlier I probably would have had a better time
Boss man. I did this yesterday and I’ve got to say. It worked! Wiping factory after doing a few training raids. I’ve been playing tarkov for about 4 years but I have been playing ratty lately and couldn’t get back to a normal play style. Thank you so much. Love the content.
Great video. I learned a lot of what you said by accident and totally agree with the learning strategy. Was trying to learn the game as people suggested: learning Customs and doing quests and was always terrified of Factory. At some point I got a weekly quest to survive factory 22 times and I committed to it. Not only did I manage to get it done in several hours, I had a great time doing it even when I died a bunch. It changed the way that I make decisions while playing the game and worked on the very basics which translate to all other maps as you so rightly pointed out. Movement, fighting, looting efficiently, healing, weapon handling, etc - all of it translates. I will add just one thing to what you said that I found to be incredibly useful for players in the early stages of getting good at surviving Factory. When you spawn in, you should already have a plan and move immediately based on where you spawned. I was dying a LOT trying to wait and listen and then decide what to do. Do not be afraid to run around the map right away and either get a good defensive position on another player spawn point, or push contested loot, etc. The worst thing you can do is sit still and wait. If you spawn forklifts for example, you have to push out immediately, or if you spawn glass hallway you have the option to push office relatively safely and hold an angle down the hall. Do whatever you want, as long as it isn't sitting still.
When I first picked this game up 5 months ago I was that guy you talked about at the end of your video. I went in to every run thinking I had to make it out at all costs with what I had on me and what I had found, and anything else was a complete failure. I listened to people like Pestily and Jesse who said new players need to just memorize exfils in offline and focus on quests. At the time I thought that was exactly how you had to play the game when learning, and that led to an unbelievable amount of tilt from me. So much so that I quit just 20 days later. Figured why question seasoned vets of the game they obviously know better than me. I didn't stop to think that they never bothered to explain what to do if you find yourself in a situation where your only way out is through an exfil camper. They never explained what to do when completely lit up and limping halfway across the map. Their advice's were always boiled down to "Bring enough meds to where that's never an issue." except as a new player who isn't even aware yet of how much damage you take from simple falls, all the meds in the world aren't going to help if you can't use them properly. I just installed the game again and am going to try giving it a go again. This time however I'm going to do what was suggested in this video and instead of treating my gear like the end-all be-all that I had made it out to be in my mind, and instead view them as a disposable tool that will aid in my escape. I'm going to try and treat gear in this game like how potions are treated in RPG games; consumables that are meant to be used up to help one complete an objective.
Your production quality, obvious long period of time polishing your videos, and in depth knowledge and experience you put into your work is so undervalued. I just wanted you to know you are appreciated and have helped me and so many others improve and have a different outlook on the game and how to play it. I have improved at the game using your advice for sure. As with all things consistency and experience will help the most. Keep it up I appreciate you.
One of the best vids on tarkov I’ve seen. For me a lotta the of the learning curve has been/is dealing with the fear and stress. I came back to the game this most recent wipe after not playing for over a year (first started playing back 2 wipes before the bigger expansion of customs). It feels a lot better mostly cause of a shift in confidence and ability to handle stress (also have less anxiety than I used to). Also side note: offline raids have been (for me at least) more than anything a good way of helping me get over the fear of getting shot at and dying. While I used to flinch and almost feel my heart burst out of my chest, now I often just laugh when I die.
Been playing Tarkov for 4 years(3113 hours) and it was interesting to listen to your advices. I would also recommend to new players to play other "hardcore" PvPvE games like Hunt. It really helped me stop being feared by every gunshot sound and less worry about losing loot
Me, not a new player, excited to watch every second of this video to see if there’s anything my self-taught brain missed. Additionally bookmarking to send to ALL of my friends who start playing Tarkov
This is a great video, Veritas. Wished I had this sort of help 4 years ago haha! Good luck to all new players, and remember, everyone learns things differently! But you can't stop trying. Load offline if you're scared of losing gear!
I know that this is an older video, but after watching this and practicing, I got my first raid that I actually survived, and also was the first raid that I got over 1k exp! And I just wanted to say this, and I would recommend this guide to any new player. Review left by The Chevy
Great idea about factory training! The next step to the training should be to go to reserve offline with limited equipment. Kill the Raiders in D2 then use their guns to take out Gluhar.
i used to add in scav raids against bosses (like your gun game idea) but thats kind of dead now...... i realize its not the same level of training but it was a nice challenge towards the end of wipe
I'm a fresh tarkov player and this is the advice I've ever received for this game. thank you, the help this will be to me, is immeasurable. subscribed.
Fantastic video as always Veritas. I'm a Tarkov daddy now, got one of my friends into the game just a week or so ago and I'm guiding him though the difficult beginnings. Forwarded him this video because it's great advice. Keep doing what you do!
So glad I found this video! I bought the game almost 2 years ago and was an on and off player, I wanted something realistic and challenging but the skill gap after coming from years of console call of duty with controller made it extremely discouraging and literally everything you said don’t do I was doing only ever playing customs with a map up on my other monitor. I finally started really trying to learn the game and get better at it a couple months ago but only feeling comfortable on customs and not knowing any other map and being low level I found myself in a slump with tarkov once again everyone I asked on twitch all said learn customs first avoid pvp and stay away from factory because it’s a death sentence but everything you said in this video makes so much more sense! With wipe just happening I’m def going to be applying all this in the near future and want to say thankyou for making this video because without even playing this wipe yet it gives me the confidence it is possible to learn this game and be proficient at it!
I basically just started playing last night, pulled an all nighter, lost a lot gained a lot. I couldn’t have been more happy when he said factory is the best map to learn on, I also enjoy customs. Factory for me means it’s very easy to learn in just a few hours of playing on it, in practice offline, or as a scav, it’s super fun and easy. Now online is different, it’s definitely harder but I needed up making some plays too. Good luck everyone and enjoy the game!
After a couple years of royaly sucking and stopping playing for a while even though I constantly yearn for this game, This is the most helpful and practical advice Ive seen yet. Thank you for this one.
My first experience with tarkov was playing woods. Probably the worst starting map hahaha i avoided using map genie until I learnt the map myself. Because I didn't want to cheat myself of the intended experience and cheese it. Man it was frustrating but also the most addictive feeling from a game. Soul clenching anxiety and fear. Love it. Great and informative video.
This was a perfect video man. You did a great job with the delivery, normalizing dying by showing you dying over and over helps with new player anxiety and sets a solid message that death is inevitable.
Solid tip for those using Scav guns (ala guns with terrible durability) bind your Check Chamber/Clear Malf to the same button as your inspect, but as a "Press" then rebind your Inspect on that same key as a "Release".
As a new player I must say that the toughest enemy to fight is the matchmaking time. I didn't realize how much impact it had on me untill I compared it to Hunt showdown or Marauders. There I'm always happy to get back into the game and learn from my mistakes, in tarkov instead, it's very hard sometimes (especially if you have only few hours). I'm just a beginner and I'm loving tarkov, I just wish matchmaking time would be shorter.
i fully agree with starting with factory as being your first main map to learn, it is decently sized, combat all the time and if you somehow don't have that much combat/people die early in the raid then you can just wait for the 10 min left mark for the player scavs to arive on the map, that way you will have a second wave of constant raiding. Another tip i would highly suggest is to use the scav whenever you have the oportunity to especially if you have gear fear. It gives you a simple loadout (so you will almost always have a variety in your gun usage) and the ability to hop on to bigger maps and start to learn them without the gear fear that you will gonna loose your items and have to start again from scratch
Pre-wipe five-seven runs on factory with half decent armor against people with more serious gear are the thing that helped me immensly with everything, i got used to dying, losing kit after kit and just going "oh well, lets go again!", that mentality carried over to the normal game very quickly and almost completely eliminated gear fear for me, and it made tarkov more fun. Losing some good loot (especially if its for quests) every couple of raids is still demoralising, but thats the nature of the beast. I think this video gives the best advice that every new player needs to hear. Great job Veritas!
Im surprised this channel hasnt blown up from this quality content. Great video man, im gonna take a shot at tarkov after finally getting a pc this year.
Not gonna lie, Almost everything you mentioned corelates to successfulness in life. This game is for certain people. Its not a game for the average consumer
Love this so much. Just played for the first time yesterday with my friend who was also first time. Was told to load into factory with just some crap smg and chest and enjoy it. Constant fights and swarmed from scavs, learning the mechanics and constant mayhem. Love it. Still learning it obviously after less than 24 hours but loading into factory taught me real fast
Hey Veritas. Why would you still make videos about Tarkov? Game developed by a studio in Russia. Studio that does not have a voice against the Russians war against Ukrainian people against humanity.
BSG is not the Russian government. They don't have the benefit of freedom of speech, making public statements against the actions of their government comes with harsh penalties. Get off your high horse and use your head.
@@VeritasGames Rights are there to be claimed, not granted. But, using head here, what did BSG do to make you think they do not support the government?
Wow what a stellar approach to the learning process. I’m in awe of your calm and collected approach to relaying information. And the music ain’t bad either! Love you Veritas!
This video could be 10 minutes, not 23. Your habit of over-explaining blatantly obvious concepts is tiring and at times even annoying but after watching you irregularly for years it seems you won't stop doing it. You say that most people don't give good advice only to then make a 23 minute video of mediocre tips that most people already know about
I started playing woods, fell in love, elarned the map, now it is a safe map for me to get loot and do quests. Now i gotta start learning the smaller maps.
One thing I’ve realized is extremely helpful is visualizing the surrounding area as a 3d model while you’re fighting. Of course this requires knowing the area firstly but it seems to help a lot
Seriously the best tarkov tip video I ever seen I’m not a veteran but I been playing for a bout 4 wipes now all the way through so I know my way around but with this video I still got some good advice very detailed and very specific this is a great video
By far the largest change to my game. I can kill tagilla offline 1/3 times with a 5.45 and maybe a grenade. Actually have goals when i go into raid and know when to reset ect. Great video Veritas!
I have watched many videos about improving in Tarkov and while most of them do give some great advices, none of them helped me improve as much as your tip to play in factory and just go and try to shoot someone. In a single day I went from not being able to last 5 mins in a pmc raid, to killing few pmc and scavs and safely exctracting ~30% of the time. I also completely overcame my fear of loosing gear, as you said, gear comes and goes, best way to enjoy the game is to stop thinking about it. Thanks!
started playing january of last year. have 1.5k hours now and I still feel that i learn new strats everytime i play. thankful for this game and creators like you bro.
Dude I felt this too. When I did quests on factory is when I gradually (but not completely) lost fear of PvP. I felt so confident after those raids even when I lost gear. And having completed those quests, I've returned to Shoreline, Customs etc. where pvp isn't nearly as frequent. Which made me slowly lose my confidence and again become afraid of pvp'ing. Resort on Shoreline and dorms on Customs are also amazing at giving pvp experience. Emotionally, it was hard for me to enter those places but my confidence in PvP was directly tied to how frequently I had balls to enter dorms or resort.
i found you as couple days after my first play of the game and what's funny i went to factory cause it said "normal" my freinds are pretty surprised how i can hold my own now, i still have a lot to learn and watching this helped a lot! thanks, def subbing and looking at the other videos!
Just got this game as a Christmas gift so this helps. I'm new to these type of games but I dig the realism of it. Learning these maps are difficult for me at the moment
Ya know, this “boot camp” idea is the best in the biz! Tyvm! I did Scav live but Factory offline the entire 3 weeks I had the game in pre-wipe. Might add: now that grouping into offline is a thing, to do that with your “Sherpa” bud to get a guide around your first maps. Having that experienced shot-caller advise you on movement & position, how to approach locations, etc, without getting them really killed & gear lost… might be next level of this.
i built my pc to play tarkov since it isnt on console (and other games ofc) but it was so difficult i recently booted it up again and actually decided to try it out and this video is so helpful! thank you!
When i started tarkov just about 2 years ago it really was a struggle especially since im all alone without anyone to play with. I still remember my first few raids on factory and dying a lot to even the undergeared scavs when i had a better gear than them. I then started trying to actually improve. I initially was put off by tarkov but then grew to love it. There just isn't any other game like it
One of the best takes from this video was the montage of yourself dying to what seems like easy gunfights. Good to know I wasn’t bad at aiming or poor connection, there’s just so many aspects which come into winning a gunfight
You are really a gem for this community. Ive been on and off this game for about two years, but i have always loved watching content about it. Nothing like this, or any other piece of content from you though. Since ive found your videos i understand a lot more, and start to figure out how to go about it. Thank you really, you are truly an inspiration.
My first wipe I saved all my fancy gear, only to never use it because of fear of losing it. I'm glad you mentioned this! Don't get attached to your gear, there's always more
I just bought tarkov last night and plan to make it my main game as I am so sick of being hacked on in Warzone! Out of all the videos I’ve watched I feel yours will be the most helpful!
I’ve just recently started playing Tarkov seriously despite the fact that I own this game from like a year now, I’ll definitely use this advice going forward. Thank You.
I just recently started my Tarkov experience and I did indeed start with Factory great place for loot and small enough to get to know quickly where the exfills are
Best advice for EFT I ever got Thank you so much for helping us new players to enjoy playing playing EFT and this video had an impact on my friends and mine survival rate, rouble count and overall fun.
Thank you Veritas. One of my main struggles in Tarkov is that I am so afraid to go into a raid that I barely play 1 or 2 a day when I'm very active. I have etched into my brain the words "failure is not an option", and this alone makes me enjoy the game so much less than I could. There is an hurdle though, with losing your stuff as a newbie: I have no idea what I should buy then. want a red dot? sure, you can choose between 12 of them, IF you can also choose the right compatible attachments. It's tough, and I wish vendors would sell pre-made blocks with all pieces needed to slap attachments onto guns without having to memorize every screw and nut in the game
14:00 dude your wife was taking cover like a seasoned player!!! that type of situational awareness even inside a game, her seeing multiple enemies and taking cover while reengaging over and over, that was awesome to see
This makes so much much sense!! I’ve literally owned tarkov for months now but was abit hesitant to even play it! I’ve made the plunge today and so glad I’ve found your video, here’s a sub👍
