Hi there! Some of you might know me from the EscapeTheTalk.Show, so I thought who else to take the bullet and start a nerdy theorycrafting and tricks thread for Tarkov content!
I like creating tutorials for all kinds of stuff and I hope there are some fellow tarkovnerds to contribute from their sacred tome of knowledge.
I love Woods, but I think I know where this comes from. Woods is overwhelming. I’ve been playing that map for like 200 hours and I still don’t completely know my way around. I mostly play it by running after Jonathan.
I think once you get a hang of knowing your way around woods, it can be great for loot runs or scav kill quests. I enjoy playing it, but I usually don’t queue for it unless I have a quest or play with beginner friends.
Also there are many sniping spots that will get you killed in a heartbeat
I had a CRAZY Reserve raid yesterday, running into PMCs, Raiders and Scav boss guards and then I missed the train and almost starved to death. It’s not really that educational, apart from: don’t get yourself messed up like me, bring food!
Finally made a video I wanted to do for AGES basically going over beginner weapon modding for the most important parts (flashlight+laser pointer and sights) that only require level 1 traders:
Man, I’m so happy to hear that! I mean you can slap a lot of sights on there as alternatives and a lot of foregrips or tactical devices if you find them in raid, I just use trader parts because they’re always available
I’m not sure how educational this is, but I did watch a FAB raid and drank some German pils in his honor and babbled on about choices, ammo, loadouts and Tarkov in general in the meantime: Raid Reaction: Fab's back on Woods! - YouTube
I return to this thread with a proper tutorial for all who might struggle to get their Shooter Born in Heaven kills on Customs! It was a lot of fun to record and I hope some people will find it useful
We had a lot of fun on stream finishing up my quest in tarkov to collect cultist knives, Fabsh’s least favourite type of enemy in Tarkov. He was all high on confidence from killing Tagilla earlier though, so he didn’t need too much convincing:
So, for the first hour of my stream yesterday I was dying left and right, but then I got a VERY lucky raid and I’m a little bit proud, because I learned later from one of the guys joining my chat, that I had killed a 4 man squad. This isn’t a tutorial, but I wish I could play like this every raid
As I might be herding some newb newbs around in Tarkov pretty soon for the wipe, I thought I better make some quick tutorials about some of the basics, also so I remember common issues that I faced when I started playing, like understanding the menacingly complicated health and healing system:
