40 Tips for Beginners | Escape From Tarkov Tips n' Tricks

[@Fugglet]

I also stream Tarkov on Twitch, feel free to drop by and say hey! twitch.tv/fugglet *0:17** | Loot Faster* - CTRL + Left click swaps items from one inventory to another, left alt + left click puts it on your character. *1:00** | Discard Bind* - Binding discard makes it super easy to manage your inventory. *1:14** | Bhop* - It’s possible to do a bit of bhopping. *1:27** | Examine* - Middle mouse button makes it easy to examine unknown items. *1:39** | Hotkeys* - Hover over an item in your pockets/rig and click a key 4-9 & 0 to bind it. *2:10** | Doo Doo Offers* - Remove bartering offers. *2:41** | Linked Search* - Makes it super easy to build guns, use this to see what fits together. *3:54** | Ammo Types* - It’s super important to use the right ammo, use this sheet for reference. (bit.ly/2QNmAw5) *4:31** | Fire Mode* - Always check your fire mode when getting into a game with a new gun. *4:45** | Suppressor* - Suppressors are better than just the silencing, it always hides the crazy smokes / sparkles. Very useful for darker maps. *5:39** | Headsets* - Awesome to hear footsteps. *6:32** | Insurance* - You will get whatever gear is left behind in the map. Use it don’t be silly. *7:17** | Flea Market* - Sell sought after gear on the flea market, it brings a huge profit. *7:49** | Maps In EFT* - Use the maps from the wiki to learn. bit.ly/2MXxG0v *8:26** | Grenade Priority* - Nades in pockets will be used before the ones in your rig. *8:39** | Cosmetics* - Currently, headwears and glasses are purely cosmetics. *8:48** | Starter Map* - Personally I’d say stick with one map at a time while you’re learning. I think Customs is a great starter map. *9:08** | Jackets* - Don’t skip them, they offer some of the most valuable keys. *9:22** | Marked Rooms* - Get a key for them, they’re cheap and offer really good loot. *9:57** | Grenades* - There’s different types, M67 takes longer to explode but can be thrown way further. *10:31** | Painkillers* - They’re super important, will ease your pain and allow you to focus / move normally again when breaking limb or getting a concussion etc. *10:49** | Scav Runs* - Always do them as a new player, especially when wanting to learn a new map. *11:17** | Scav Or Scav Player* - A dead scav player has the pouch slot, where as an NPC does not. *11:37** | Scav Types* - There’s the regular plebs, sniper scavs and raiders. Raiders being crazy geared but only found on Labs and Reserve. *12:11** | Splint* - Always carry a splint on you to fix a broken limb. *12:27** | Stashes* - Google the map you’re playing with the word stashes to find the hidden loot spots. *13:03** | Visor* - Can protect you from a headshot. Press ‘N’ to toggle the visor. *13:19** | Day Or Night* - You can choose between day and night mode. Labs has no time, and Factory has set times. *13:51** | Chicken Nuggets* - Be careful of exits, some maps tend to have chickens waiting for you to snatch your loot. *14:12** | Offline Mode* - Is a very good way to practice against bots and learn the maps. *15:05** | Player Count* - You can see how many players you might be facing at the map selection screen. *15:29** | Quests* - They’re a very good way of learning the game, as they take you to certain spots and show you the game features. Use the game wiki page if you need help. *15:57** | Strip Guns* - For extra profit, sell to Therapist > Skier and then Mechanic for maximum profit. *17:08** | Hide The Goods* - If your teammate insured his/hers gear, throw it in their backpack and hide it - to fill your inventory with the goodies from your enemies. *17:24** | Bind Voice* - You can bind a voice command by double tapping ‘Y’ and right clicking a command. *17:44** | Don’t Sprint N’ Nade* - It’ll drop at your feet and send you to space. *18:05** | Check Ammo* - Right click a mag in your inventory, or LALT + T to check the weapon in your hands. *18:29** | Movement Keys* - A quick rundown of different keybinds to move around.

Definitely gonna follow you on twitch now😁

[@LimpanAPEX]

Fugglet I just realized when watching that you can drop a nade behind you if you're being chased, though it would be insanely lucky to actually kill him. :P

[@Rektya]

4:31 | Fire Mode - Always check your fire mode when getting into a game with a new gun. [EDIT]: Use Alt+B to check the firing mode without changing it. 7:17 | Flea Market - Sell sought after gear on the flea market, it brings a huge profit. [EDIT]: Do not ALWAYS use Flea Market, at the beginning you want to push your traders too, so make sure you also selling stuff to traders. My suggestion would be to sell more expensive stuff (15k+) on Flea Market, the Rest sell to traders to push their levels. 8:48 | Starter Map - Personally I’d say stick with one map at a time while you’re learning. I think Customs is a great starter map. [EDIT]: I disagree on that Customs are a great starter map. There is always PVP going on because this map is very linear and you most likely can not avoid bumping into other players. Sure you have to do alot of quests on Customs at the start, but i also would consider Customs as the 3rd hardest map to play. I also could suggest new players to do Scav runs into Offline Raids rotation for a while to learn the maps. 18:29 | Movement Keys - A quick rundown of different keybinds to move around. [EDIT]: you forgot the LAlt+Q and LAlt+E for the quick full body peaks, which sometimes can be kinda usefull because these are a bit faster animations then the usual lean animations. Overall a great Guide for new and even some advanced players. Great Job, Thumbs up!

will you put a new link for the ammo types? the current one is bugged

@B N ikr. How tf is he doing a guide video like he's a vet or some shit. It's fine tho, guys like fugglet playing means more loot for me and the squad 😂

[@JoseLara-dg4zk]

Fugglet, your tutorials are fantastic. I love how clearly you present everything and your generosity in providing other players with what you've learned. I watch your content, not because I play these games (I haven't played any video games since the early 1980s) but because of your enthusiasm for what you're doing as evidenced through your voice-overs. Thank you for creating such a great place on the internet!

[@Fugglet]

Thank you very much! Highly appreciated. :-)

[@spellcaster39ify]

You actually do want to hit G and drop a grenade while you are sprinting if you are being chased. I discovered it by accident - was being chased through Factory and dropped a nade in the bathroom and it blew up the dude chasing me. ;)

Pro tip.... insure your gear and when you kill someone with good/decent gear, go throw all your insured shit into a bush and take his gear. Trust me, it's op.

[@armija]

When I just started this game, like 5th raid or smth, I found on customs a naked dead body, and close by behind some rubble I found a mega huge backpack full of high-end gear that I sold for over a million rubbles, at a time I thought that it is something like an easter egg or smth so every time I was playing customs I was checking that spot for that cool backpack... later I learned that I probably ruined somebodies insurance fraud attempt :)

Glasses reduce the amount of blood and rain that is shown on your screen, facecovers do nothing but make it harder to recognize you're a player.

Any chance you have a place where this is written or tested? I’ve heard both things and really want to get to know the facts

You can set your normal lean keys to toggle so you stay in the lean, its much faster.

This actually helped me a ton. I didn't realize you could examine with middle mouse, red key-card = $$$$$$$$, or that the secure container epsilon was possible. ty

[@Scout339th]

Yo, if you add '00:00 Intro" to the top of your timestamps, it will make all of your other marks show up in the time bar at the bottom. Super useful for viewers.

[@Salfriel]

I am very new at this game (haven’t done a single raid yet) but the last few tips (leaning and pushing your weapons out and shoot) blew my mind!

[@TheLoneTerran]

Heya, good vid. I do recommend you run with face cover and sunglasses. First, it helps with raising Ragman a bit if you're tight on cash, but another thing, especially if you play USEC is the humble Balaclava hides our giant pink heads that stand out super easily. I've caught people hiding just because the color of their face is so out of place. Sunglasses cover the two big eyeholes and help your vision when it comes to water/blood. Good vid!

[@Sammy_Chouchou]

Something to think about when considering the player count, is that it doesn't count or factor in scav players. So even if all the PMCs are dead, scav players will still eventually spawn, and are still very much a threat.

[@cameronwegner8724]

Player scavs CANNOT spawn without a pmc alive

[@samsonstone764]

@Cameron Wegner You don’t say

been playing for years and I still learned alot. thanks for all these.

[@Rockemoalternative]

Why does this game seem like the next level in gaming this is insanely in depth Jesus how awesome is this?

[@MoJoProfessional]

I'm thinking about getting it and just playing offline with friends to learn first. All the mechanics and movement is very intricate which is a good thing. Sets the skill gap.

[@Deviant-Blades]

@@MoJoProfessional You can only do offline raids solo so I'd suggest learning the maps offline and doing raids with friends on your Scav. Which is a random AI you can play as every 20min or so and it just gives you a random loadout. Also the 20min cooldown can be reduced with upgrading your hideout but the cooldown doesn't start till you finish the raid aka die or extract on the Scav.

[@MoJoProfessional]

@@Deviant-Blades Aw I was really hoping offline would be co-op to help train for the real world. Thanks for the tips mate!

[@Deviant-Blades]

Another helpful tip is that money used for Insurance is used Stash > Pouch > Cases in stash. IDK why it's setup this way but if you want to be sure the game doesn't take the money you keep in your pouch to use for paid extracts in game, keep some loose cash in your stash. Also at 18:33 you can use that lean to throw grenades around the corner without exposing yourself.

Alt + A or D while prone will make you lean out a bit which can be a good way to get an unexpected angle on someone.

I'm going to like the video simply because of the EFT maps on the wiki. This information is absolutely ground-breaking for me! No more watching a KZbin video on extract locations mid raid! Lmao.

[@noscancel2545]

Watched this vid since I'll get the game tomorrow, can't wait >.

[@Phillz91]

When doing Scav runs, all AI scavs that aren't boss AI will not shoot at you unless you kill an AI or player scav first. On larger maps this can be isolated between groups as well (killing one group may not aggro another spawn further into the map. When you are new having AI scavs around you as back up is super helpful. Where possible, avoid Scav on Scav violence. Alternating Q and E lean is called the wiggle and usually signifies a player trying to communicate 'friendly', also pressing F1 to mumble a scav phrase can help alert another scav to your presence without them going all itchy trigger finger on you. Other scav players typically don't have anything worth looting but will make taking down a geared PMC much easier with numbers. Trusting another player scav can be tricky, but shooting on sight every time usually just gets an angry scav mob on your arse for the grand prize of a Saiga 9.

[@Ouatedephoque73]

so true

[@baguette2829]

Fuck that, no scav survives untill i find myself some keycards haha

[@jaytaztt]

[@theycallmepeanutbutter5132]

Is there a way to split your rubles in your stash to put a certain amount in your docs case? I know it doesn’t really matter but it’d be nice to be able to put just enough for an extract in your docs case before a raid

[@badbryan87]

11:54 yes don't forget that one. I did and it made my 1st successful pmc run very very difficult. I barely made it to extract with less than 1min left of HP from a bleed

Is it best to immediately try to extract as a scav to secure the loot you spawned with, or is it more valuable to try and get some loot on your way out?

Is it true with the insurance (Hide The Goods ) at 17:08 ? Does it work like this? I mean you loot his body right?
