One of the best things for me was learning to actually use my Scav runs to actually, like, scavenge. When I started out, I was like "hey free kit" and just went around shooting everything I saw like I was playing PMC. Now, I use Scav runs to go try to find unlooted bodies of maybe someone who died to AI and get some free armor/helmet/gun/ammo, whatever. Or go check to see if someone missed some graphics cards in a tech store or skipped over some rooms in Resort or something. All while walking past the AI because I have a free pass. Sometimes I'll do a Scav run and never shoot a single shot, but I'll walk about with 500k worth of stuff.

[@voteZDLR]

I love Dark Souls but none of those games have ever filled me with the level of anxiety I get playing Tarkov. I think the main reason is that in Tarkov you're not dealing with Swords, Bows and Crossbows -- you're dealing with firearms. You can literally be shot and killed in an instant from someone you can't even see, especially if they have thermal, so it's just the "any second now I am going to die" aspect of the game especially with each second you survive. By the time you get close to extract, it only just ramps up because you're like "I'm too close, this can't be this easy, there's gonna be an exit camper or something" but when you hear the successful extract music you're like "Oh my God I made it". Most rewarding, frustrating yet tense game ever in my opinion.

Exactly. Sadly i learned that after i hit level 30. Most ppl think that money is the most important thing. Yes they are important but not as much as your level, hideout(where you can make a looot of money) and ofc traders levels for best gear and ammo.

#1. Knowledge, is definitely deserving of that spot. I just built a new pc. My old one was from 2011 and could barely run anything. I've watched Tarkov videos for several months and in the weeks leading up to my build, I binged guide videos. Because of that, I've survived 3/4 of my raids and went from the starting 300k to 2mil in the last week. Knowing what to take, what to keep, where to get what, when to dip, when to push, etc. is everything.

I know that as a brand-new player, I cannot afford to buy the best ammo from the flea market, so there's no point going out there with a great gun using shit ammo. The only good ammo I have access to is Mosin ammo. So instead I just don't go out on raids.

I have an idea for a video you should make. Take a lengthy and successful raid that youve done, and pull it up and go through without any skips and pause occasionally and talk about what is #1 in your head at that moment #2 What is some potential options that you have to tackle the situation and #3 quickly discuss alternate things you could have done, or other people can do in similar situations. I think it would help us all out alot and i know i would greatly appreciate it. I struggle so hard in tarkov with just finding something to do that truly motivates me like it used to. Now i just get in raid, run to the biggest hot spot, and hope i find some geared ppl. It gets really repetitive and i just wanna know when in the raid should you loot areas? When to scavenge gear? When to hide? When to know if you can take a fight or not? etc... I could go on but i wont, im sure you get what im saying.

[@tomr3422]

The learning part is really fun, I remember my first raid, the first scav that surprised me on woods almost 2 1/2 years ago. I would spend hours just exploring the maps in offline mode. knowing where all of the drop down holes in resort are or how to get to mantis quickly, and the service areas still helps today.

[@armonik5930]

My advice if you want to get better is this: play a lot and understand that you are going to die a shit ton of times in the most unfair ways. As generic as that sounds it is what works

[@Acecool]

I used to make money on the fleamarket so I could actually play the game with decent gear. I'd buy low and sell high to trader or back on fleamarket. I have a broken neck, back and severe nerve damage. I can't play for the time required in raid to get good stuff. Now that my option of flea market has been removed ( and I never used bots even though I was competing with bots to buy / sell but I'd look for different items if a category was full of bots and I'd be very successful in a very short time ). In the time of 1 raid spanned over several sittings I could get 5+m I can't do that anymore meaning the game is basically unplayable because I rarely have the ability to sit and use my arms for that amount of time. It really sucks that accessibility was removed instead of simply banning bots and fixing the time desync on fleamarket to give everyone an equal chance to buy instead of having it sold before the buy button is even available for the majority of players. Instead of fixing the bugs, it makes the game unplayable to a lot of disabled individuals because now we can't use a method to gain money which we can use 5 minutes at a time and get enough to go into a raid with decent gear when we have the ability to..

I played for 2 days so my skill is also garbage, but the saddest time I died the game crashed, and when I loaded in again I was already dead. I was super close to the extract too... they sent like 3 updates through the client that day so it probably happened to more people but I was really... unhappy

[@de_order703]

A good thing to do is to learn a specific weapon. My weapon to go is an AKS-74U and using bs ammo, it is pretty cheap, common on scavs. Since it usually has the highest recoil of the aks, it makes people not take the gun and you'll usually get it back from insurance. Even when you mod the gun out, most people would just take the attachments to save space so you'll get it back pretty often. Find a gun you like and are used to and learn how to effectively use it.

[@drucastellon4904]

The mosin is mine. It is just such a good gun for a cheap price if you can hit your shots. Take out geared people with it all the time. Low risk, high reward.

Well my issue is the ammo right now. I overcome gear fear, but my trouble is having ammo, and armor. How can I do that if I have not them unlocked. We can have AKs rapidly, but no BP or BT ammo. We can have Adar but no AP ammo. I’m struggling with that a lot right now.

The easiest way I found to make money is in between raids buy an expensive commodity that gets bought and sold all the time, or buy something cheap from a trader, like ammo and then mark it up 10-15% depending on how expensive it is. Let's say you buy 2000 rounds worth of 7.62x39 PS ammo, fairly cheap currently at 108 roubles a pop, so you would buy them all at 216,000, then you mark it up 15%, .15x108=~16 16+108=124 124x2000=248,000, since its an item that people will be using (and buying) all the time, it should sell within 2-3 hours. Finally, your total profit will be 32000! Please note that the per tile cost of ammo is pretty shit with 7.62x39 PS at around 6400, so if you want to make a lot of money, but also spend quite a bit, then stock up on graphics cards when they are cheap, which have a per tile cost of around 150000 roubles at current pricing, and sell them when prices rise, which at a 10% markup (because they are so expensive already) should make you around 30,000 profit total. Also one more thing, I've been doing this for the past month now every day, even when I don't feel like playing just hop on real quick, buy 250000 roubles worth of ammo, mark it up, sell it, do a scav run (likely fail), and have made almost 10,000,000 roubles total (all the loot and other shit I may have sold). Stonks.

I see that you changed the scope magnification while zoomed, I hold rmb when zooming so I have to come out of the ADS to change the scope magnification, how is this done? I rebind my key to something that isn't on the mouse I'm guessing is the easier option?

Picked EFT like 3 Weeks ago sitting at 20% survival rate. I am not living the Rat-Life, I try to chad my way through the map and I play super aggressive. And since I am investing in better Ammo I definitely drop more geared fellas. I also like to zero to hero a bit in factory and there I die a lot. Anyway, 50% survival rate is crazy!

[@Desubricks]

gotta love the cam dying around 5.47ish. I thought my PC was laggin out. Cheers for the vid mate. For ya vid i would have mentioned learned where the scavs are and where they aren't but i guess that just falls under knowledge in the end.

[@spearspearspear]

You sure he’s not just stonefaced?

[@plurk7397]

Ja een hele mooie dag 😁 Thanks for the tips.

[@ItsAlpa]

Completely random topic... But what if they gave you a chance to spawn in as a Raider Scav every 24 hours...? Kinda like how Scav has a cooldown timer, same type of deal.

[@ItsAlpa]

@Xavier's Paradise idk... it was an idea..? one little raider kit isn't that amazing man.

[@SGHWRT24]

jij ook een mooie dag toegewenst!

[@lostinfernohd3266]

I learned the caps lock bind early this wipe before this wipe I always scrolled. I hated scrolling to walk and my friend was like bro just use caps lock. He thought I knew already.

[@NotSplashIG]

how do you bind it?

[@gruntt6945]

Glad to hear that it's all good in Europe, good on you

[@Michael-kv9bg]

HAHA I just noticed that Pestily is singing 'Een hele mooie dag' at the outro. That's Dutch for: 'A very beautiful day.'

[@louishetenyi554]

Could some one please explain the problem with hatchet raids? I like to do hatchet runs to try learns maps and loot spawns and how other plays play on the map without risking loosing something unnecessarily

[@Jaysson83]

Always on point with your guides🙏

[@dart_dcs]

Just picked up the game and subscribed.

[@IslarfPokemon]

How do I find an evacuation point? If they added some in-game map I might try the game more than just going in with a knife for one round a week. I don't have a second monitor and just playing in a map for 5-6 hours to learn it for a game I dunno if I'll even enjoy..... The in-game map doesn't need to tell position. No. Don't do that. Just a menu to open. Look at the full map. Nothing else. Like people keep on their second monitor

[@stefanManiak262011]

Hey..Pestily is there a way to start again...I mean some kind of reset..restart? Idk.. I m at level 5 now...play for few days and killed few players..but I didn t make it to ectraction. I m still learning the map,I choose Customs for my 1st time! BUT...I lost all my guns,shields and money o have only 40 000 50 000 rubles. So,I think if I m back at level 1 with all they give me at the starting point I think I ll do better. So,it is a way?

[@MrBimovideo]

Hey Pestily i have a question. What would you consider a high penetration rate for a bullet in Tarkov? Thanks in advance!

[@AniliusReborn]

for me i just want a list of guns and the ammo that's best for both armour and damage and i don't want different types of ammo just simple one type of bullet for that gun instead of like every type of ammo and having it be confusing to understand because i struggle to understand what bullets work for what in the game and what bullets are like the best you can use for both type of situation

[@JAMGaming94]

Could you do a video about your EQ settings on your headphones? I have the same ones and I cant find a good preset EQ.

[@dandybrandyZA]

My boi mentioning QuattroAce the absolute legend

[@adrianmeyer2157]

The ammo is more important than the gun, is the one thing I wish I learned sooner. I used to just buy the cheapest ammo and get nowhere, I check the chart or if I haven't got it handy usually the most expensive ammo on the flea market for that caliber will be the best?

[@Phroo]

I would love to put these tips to the test but get tired of waiting 20-30 minute queues between games

[@sheenhart]

Adam Novy Try now! Past month the server queues have been great! Customs, Shoreline, Reserves, hell even Woods get 1-2min queues now :))

[@Scribbleman-vw1px]

"it's ok to die" Thanks pestily I was petrified of dying but now I know it's ok:)

[@waynenelson2582]

Just ordered a pc what is the one map I should run constantly over and over to learn first. My pc will be built in about 3 weeks

[@dylanlokatys1560]

As a new player my friend will basically hold my hand to extractions. How am i meant to learn where to extract solo with no map?

[@sirzebra]

Theres an offline mode just for that, and a perfectly updated wiki with all maps, loot spots, keys required, tasks and quest walkthrought, you're just supposed to know how to use google and a quarter of your brain to get to know the maps.

[@CANAS1AN]

3203 hours over 86 days comes out to 36 hours per day? how is that possible?

[@tomr3422]

I think that is in Australian time.

[@yoepie7]

ngl i am kinda curious where pestlily is at in the netherlands tho since i wouldn't mind to help him exploring the netherlands

[@purgatoryproducts]

6:22 it says you have 3200h but only 86 days played there is only 2064h in 86 days what’s up with that???

[@RogueAndroid]

Great video! And good effort on the Dutch at the end. Will we hear Pestily speaking a bit more Dutch soon? :D Greetings from the Netherlands! :)

[@benjaminconrad3674]

I had a Stashlootrun on Customs found a TT in it with 5 bullets of useless ammo, killed a shotgun scav, killed 2 player with his shotgun, got good geared and still looted the stashes :D

[@tomr3422]

those are the best raids - when you extract thinking " how am I alive?"

[@Michaelsmith-ys5mw]

what happens if you lose all the stuff the game gives you at the start? I just started playing the game just curious

[@taylorfisher3944]

That is a good lesson for Life. Find a good way to make money.

[@rutrose2000]

I just read this helpful Tarkov guide about what is the best gear to take. I've been using the "Walking Tank" technique but am still having trouble surviving even against guys with just hatchets. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[@spearspearspear]

Positioning and awareness is more important than gear.

[@johnweinstock2697]

It might be your computer. If you need help upgrading, check out The Verge's PC building guide.

[@paradoxxfulvius7469]

Hey, do you have a guide for the best possible settings so my game wont lag anymore?

[@Night-uq6gk]

Pestily, do you have any special audio settings or are your headsets just that good? because I'm having a hard time hearing footsteps without going deaf from gunshots

[@JohnDoe-em7of]

Grab some active headphones in game, sordins are the best and only a few k rubles more than the crappy ones. 20-30k on flea market

[@Atlas1198]

I know this is an oldish vid , but how do I even buy this game? Thanks

[@tobiasmol1]

Their site www.escapefromtarkov.com

[@TehRealVids]

I sold your mask to get the scav loot box Bc my inventory was getting to full after my first 12 hours, was that a good move or no?

[@dutchfalang5410]

een hele mooie dag, lol... you have a nice day too dude :)

[@richardl1708]

What are the best items to craft in the hideout for profit?

[@DARKthenoble]

its beyond perfectly fine to die, dying is the fastest way to lvl up certain skills.

[@Onthefly_sy]

These are good tips as I'm new to pc gaming and to tarkov thanks
