Thank you for showing the looting parts, even if it's sped up a bit. Not only is it the dopamine-releasing part of every raid, a reward after the heart-pumping adrenaline highs, but it's also nice to see what a more experienced player goes for and leaves behind and how/when they loot.

Well you still need to play for loot if you low level

[@sci7zo]

at low level I have my mission kits and my "burner" kits. When the stash is looking a lil too full that tells me I need to shrink it. Either by losing gear or replacing it with better gear. Lets me try PvP while still doing my missions. The burner kits are usually my good stuff while my mission gear is either my best stuff or my worst stuff depending on the mission.

"It's pretty uncommon for a squad to hold hands".....*me running 5 deep every night with the boys in a tactical column*

[@Opachki69420]

9:45 on that point if you are playing in a squad, just because you CAN cover a large area by spreading out, does not mean you SHOULD. Its no good having multiple lines of sight if one of you just gets pinned and overwhelmed because you are separated... Tight formations are way more effective than people tend to think(they just take more discipline to not get in others way while they work)

I think I sunk like 60 hours at this game and I was yet to run comfortably in this game without getting one tapped in the head from out of nowhere. gg this game is not for me.

[@FI3LD9]

Gotta say, this guidance helps to understand what to do in tricky situations. Me as a DayZ player, Tarkov seems bit harder than DayZ from PvP perspective. I don’t have problem taking out squads on DayZ but Tarkov is something else. At least I’ve zero gear fear. Need to put more grind into PvP in Tarkov. Your guidance and PvP in these clips are awesome. Keep up the good work and happy hunting 2Lew! 👊🏼 P.S. What are your postfx settings? Colours looks solid af!

[@2Lew]

It's a matter of perspective tbh, this is my take on how to handle squads in raid, I admit it's fairly risky but I can also tell you that you don't learn as much if you don't try shit. The main thing that wins fights in my opinion is having confidence in the info you have and swinging someone at the right time. I honestly think it's just something you pickup with experience. I played a lot of dayz mod, but not much standalone, I feel like fighting squads in DayZ you have to be way more cautious. You can get away with being more agro in Tarkov, the movement allows for some cheeky plays. My post FX settings are all in discord btw, link in desc 😊

found you a week or two ago and just wanted to say i’ve beene really digging the content since. the form of your content is really enjoyable to watch. it’s a lot more enjoyable to watch a few raids strung together with an overall goal or theme (i.e trying to do task(s) or just shitting on people) than a shorter vid on a crazy raid or weapon setup or something. music choice is also completely top notch, i get some of the music stuck in my head sometimes, love it.

[@thee_claw7485]

Great PVP clips and information passed along. I still need to dedicate more time on individual maps to gain familiarity and learn common/advanced angles. One thing I wanna point out is that you looted a Beta backpack and put your Trizip in it. Wearing the Trizip with the Beta in it would have given you five extra slots in raid for looting. It’s best to have a Trizip in a Beta in your stash to save those five slots when out of raid. Great video and great content as always. Cheers!

[@2Lew]

Thanks mate!

[@FrazerBoorman]

@@2Lew I’m struggling with such basic altercations, I think maybe it’s the low “skill”, high weight as I’ve typically been looting a load, naff weapon - ammo - and armour. Could you do a video of you using what you’d consider shitty load outs… like, salga 9, with cheap helmet and soft armour, for a few raids. And highlight just how important it is to kit up to a point you even stand a chance? Would be helpful I reckon :)

[@FrazerBoorman]

That was a longwinded way of asking for a vid indicating the importance of kitting up to give you the best chance of survival in raid A vid on the injectors would be helpful too! :D

[@ifelloff7164]

If anyone wants to get better at PVP the way I did it was go into factory with the PP-91 and a level 2-3 body armour, headset and helmet etc. just some mid-tier gear, and then I just looked to PVP. My PMC kills have been skyrocketing since I’ve started doing this. You also need to remember that, if you run out of all your gear and money and still have a low level character, you can always reset your character, you’ll get it all back and you can try again til your comfortable with PVP, and just go from there.

[@SpaceMissile]

Dude! i totally won a 2v1 last night after watching this. focused more on repositioning and it really paid off.

[@arts6821]

One tip I can give for any new solos is don't be afraid to take out good gear you got during your raids (gear fear). It's better for you to have a good loadout, you don't want a shotgun while only wearing lvl 3 armor if you're up against a 3 man. Take the better loot you have and just try it out!

[@capttokki1811]

Can we just appreciate that segway what a legend.

[@itsme7570]

Damn dude that 1v3 you got in the beginning was NASTY! dude's moving like he's playing warzone 😅 makes it look easy

[@SnarlingLynx]

Seeing that kind of gameplay actually just make me even more fearing playing Tarkov. He looted all of them, and all of them were having alot modded weapons. I got shite in my inventory anymore and just ran on Scavs raid to get killed afterward. On about 30 hours of game I might have killed actually 2 PMCs, as broke as me. Good gameplay, great reaction times, but also showing that a newbie can't do shite on people like that.

[@ignatz2]

One thing i really want to know is how you are so scarily accurate with your shots when your gun completely obstructs your line of sight. Like in 3:20. Even though you didn't kill the guy your accuracy was almost flawless, there just was an obstacle in the way. I seem to pretty much never shoot remotely close to an enemy if I have such a handicap. Teach me your ways man...

[@2Lew]

Too many hours of games like csgo and call of duty, I've always been a headshot kinda player. Trained myself to aim head.
