BEGINNERS GUIDE PART 3: BUDGET KITS + TIPS AND TRICKS - ESCAPE FROM TARKOV

[@paycheckrapper]

Loving the guides wtfmoses. As someone who started roughly the same time you did it’s nice hearing someone else’s perspectives. As something for the final intro video, I would love to see something about how to level traders fast. I’m level 22 and I still have all but 2 traders at level 1, then I look at other streamers and they all have them leveled up already and ready to go with their next levels. Just seems like I’m missing something. Keep up the great content

[@bny8470]

Gotta say these videos have MASSIVELY helped my gameplay. The cache run you showed previously has netted a lot of money for my level, and I am looking forward to building some budget kits you suggested. Please keep up the amazing content! Also, would love a video about leveling up the hideout, what to prioritize, what items to grab in raids, etc.

[@dtrgaming9774]

Hey wtfmoses. Just thought I'd stop by to say thank you. You've really helped me get better at the game, so please keep the guides rolling out! Also, you have a calming personality that exudes positivity. Your videos educate and leave a good vibe as well. Thanks and please keep up the good work!

[@wisdomandy9361]

A tip people tend to forget especially once they start to get the hang of the game is to insure your gear and then when you kill someone with good/decent gear to go and toss your insured stuff in unlootable location. Doesn't always work out perfectly but it can be a massive help to getting out of the raid with as much NEW gear/loot and still getting all insured back. This is not the same as trying to glitch your insured gear or trying to deny someone your gear while in a firefight. Let's play with some dignity.

[@colton3425]

Hi I'm noob. What's an unlootable location? Like some water or something? Sounds intriguing

[@wisdomandy9361]

@@colton3425 I mean ideally in a spot that players simply cannot loot. Like In a corner that players can't reach. However in most cases you'll just have to find an unlikely place to put stuff. Like in a random heavily covered bush or a dark corner of a room. I hate to give tips like this because it's kind of scummy. But after playing tarkov, you'll realize most players will do anything they can to scam, rip you off, camp, or just make your life a living hell. So doing this is pretty mild.

[@matthew4031]

How do you insure your gear?

[@TheAbrahamHD]

Wait so if you drop your insured stuff, not die, extract, and given nobody looted the stuff you dropped, you can still get it back?

[@Pheonixcrafter007]

I am what you call a proper RAT, if im in a firefight that i clearly wont win, you best bet Im gunna pop pains and go hide my loot and i mean ALL of it. Im also the same rat that takes what i dont want from caches and hides those and tosses rounds on the ground so people cant find them. Why? because tarkov is a rat race. Because in the end if i can make you life harder than mine, i will. Because in the end you struggling a little more than me wont matter when the next reset rolls around and i start ALL over again. I am a Class A asshole and Im damn sure proud of it.

[@Pondimus_Maximus]

Moses, this video series has been a Godsend! I love the pacing of your delivery, and the specifics you offer. These vids are miles better than most of what I’ve seen. Thanks! 🖖😀

[@themurderone9196]

i have seen a lot of tarkov guides but i think yours are the best by far. Keep it up moses.

[@shawndrake970]

Glad to see you’re making Tarkov videos. You were my favorite PubG creator a few years back!!

[@MacKsGameInferno]

"You will survive most likely a little bit more" Love the positivity lol.

[@peterfargo6044]

Lies... ALL LIES!!!!

[@byrdgames1325]

Something I learned when I spent time in law enforcement that really carries over to this game, and you basically say this in the video. "It's always faster to act than to react". I'm not exactly an entirely new player but I haven't played in almost 2 years. I'm really enjoying this video series!

[@ghosface353]

I will recommend the ADAR as a cheap M4A1 alternative. It's a russian semi-automatic AR15 that can be bought relative cheap. I think the cheapest I got is 17k, but you usually find them for around the mid 20k. But you can also buy Rechargeable battery, which I ar emost of the time cheaper and you can trade it from Skier for one ADAR. While the ammo are expensive, I feel the M855A1/M856A1 are usually around the same price as 5.45x39 BP rounds. It's very easy to use, and when you get it only needs a sight, and changing the gasblock so you don't have the annoying ironsight. You can also continue upgrading it if you survive the raid. There are some great budget ADAR build. You can also change the receiver and eventually make it an M4. But try to survive like 10 raid with the gun before you throw away your money.

[@skartimus]

Exactly this, the ADAR seems even better this patch for some reason, and the 855A1/856A1 will tear apart nearly all players for very little price. Wish you could make it in the hideout though. Thiccbois with Gen4 etc well take a good amount of shots, but really is done great for me in that situation as the recoil is low so you can get your groupings right when firing fast.

[@fast_eddie3441]

I 'used' to follow you a few years ago when I was playing pubg. I have not touched pubg since finding EFT. It's good to see you applying your thoughts and feelings and dulcet tones to my favourite game. Nice to see you again old friend 🙂

[@Mission_Nugget]

Just recently purchased the game. I had watched many streams and thought I understood the game. Big mistake. Wish I had found these videos of the Series before I had wasted time and gear. Great content bud. Keep it up.

[@richie_is_not_rich]

I was unsure about buying it just to play the beta, but your Beginner's Guide helped convince to try it. Really enjoying the game so far.

[@tomwaller1529]

Loving the content Moses. You've gotten me into Tarkov...I'm in the rabit hole now...

[@ooparamountoo]

Good series, any recommendation as far as a 5.56 lower lvl gun? I just seem to find so much of that ammo. Edit: I mostly play customs and reserve.

[@SaltySvendo]

Moses, a really good point to bring up that I haven’t seen discussed anywhere is, if in the trader screen and you dismantle a gun to sell it, the value on the red part stays the same as the total value of the gun. even when you put it in the sell box and the value comes up it shows that same number. When you actually sell it though, you DO NOT get that number you only get what that part is actually worth. Try it out a few time’s and you will see what I mean. Maybe everyone knows this, but I’ve watched every damn beginners video out there and nobody talks about it.

[@IYFace]

Great set of beginner guides for EFT. So far I stink at the game, but I think I just need to run a few more offline raids to get the shooting down. For Part 4 my suggestions would be for Money Runs and Hideout Upgrades. Perhaps include Tasks/Missions, but those seem pretty self explanatory.

[@dylanm1713]

You're budget build info for the 63BTM and the trip zip are great. Thanks!

[@Robaldeenyo]

Love the content. Hate the travel blogger music :) these videos are super helpful

[@WestinsChannel]

It's worth noting that the AR platform is nearly identical to the ADAR 2 15, with the exception that the ADAR is semi auto only, and can be acquired from skior in exchange for a rechargeable battery (at the time of writing go for about 12k on the file market).

Hey just want to comment you might want to add a note about the SKS, early on you mention a sight, but most of the early SKS you can't add a site to it. I think you need to get lucky or get Lvl2 with skier to be able to get the one that takes a sight.

[@chrisschneider5670]

I've been learning and growing with your videos Moses. Thanks for all the great content!

[@JH-og6up]

This is by far the best guide i have seen. Thank you dude!

[@coltbtd]

For any new players, my best advice I can say is every time I load out with a simple Mosin carbine and armor piercing rounds and next to no gear i leave kitted out with an extra 2-3 guns in bags and ammo etc with other gear.... everytime i load out with all the gear and nice guns usually end up dying within 3 minutes. Mosin runs it is.

[@neonicplays1364]

“Gear fear” Common thing, people get scared with high tier loot, wether aware or not if it. Or maybe your just a good sniper haha

[@stucknreality]

Love your content Moses! Thanks for being amazing

[@bradm2061]

just throwing out an another option for budget scopes on the hunter. When I added this comment the Valday PS320 was 40-45k that’s kinda a lot to be loosing while leveling. Try the Zenit PSO they are 11-15k (they do look horrible) or try with the SVD Low sidemount an a VOMZ Pilad scope with the 25mm mounting rings it is 9-11k. It’s a bit hard getting used to hip firing for close engagements because you don’t have the 1X on the like what’s on the Valday but getting used to it is well worth the effort. Just my thoughts on it for what it’s worth.

[@winstonwashington5454]

I've been enjoying and applying these tips/tricks/thoughts to my gameplay. It has helped a ton, thanks!

[@TheRealUnconnected]

Is the gamma pouch worth buying the premium version of the game for? What is the best value version to actually buy? am i screwing myself if i cheap out and buy standard edition? That should have been your first tip lol, as someone who doesn't play this game, how can i decide which version to purchase without knowing the value of the items and differences between them. Any help appreciated. $140 is a lot of money for a game, i can afford it, but is it worth it over the $45 version.

[@1013name]

Excellent series. Thanks for the Hunter load out.

[@baysedgamer]

What up Moses? Two questions, for EFT which AK do you recommend for level 7 and about 1.5 mil in the bank. Want to be able to use a scope that has reflex sight and maybe like a 4x magnification also. Currently using AK 74M I believe it’s called. Can’t put two scopes on it currently, the one that is stacked on top of the 4x doesn’t switch to reflex sight...lol. Second question is which Mic do you use for your streams? Looking to upgrade and yours sounds very clear. Random question, sorry about that but figured I’d throw it in here. Thanks for the tips and tricks, have helped me a lot in Tarkov. See you out there brotha.

[@braintrust02]

Is the vepr 136 worth using? Been using that at lvl 5 and seems good.

[@frosty98412]

Do you waste ammo when training in hideout or does it just reset like offline mode?

[@tomhabermehl9227]

It's just like offline mode, you get all of the ammo back. You don't waste any ammo when testing weapons in your hideout.

[@frosty98412]

@@tomhabermehl9227 Thank you for the clarification!

[@GiantPrizm]

Another thing that should be mentioned to new players is that there is an official Escape from Tarkov discord. for new players to play with other players to get the hang of the game. Some players, like myself, could need another buddy to play with if they hate being solo all the time

[@cptdurr]

hey moses, i was watching you from pubg (2000 hours played) basicslly like all pubg players im learning Tarkov now, my question is... i use in pubg HOLD to ADS and basically on every shooter but here i know its essential to have it on trigger, should i learn seperately or should i just use hold to ads in Tarkov too?? cause its annoying to switch between games then

[@vegetasbulge]

[@neonicplays1364]

Does this game have perfectly accurate hipfire? I’ve seen players do a lot of hipfire *cough* shroud and it seems hella accurate

[@Valapatt0]

It all depends on the weapon specs. A hipfire with completely kitted out m4 is childs play. Hipfire with lower end modded AK variant... Well, you better be close to your enemy.

[@Valapatt0]

And the more you mod your weapon, the more its going to cost. Fully decked out m4 is a god damn bank breaker for anyone.

[@neonicplays1364]

Marko Melts oh I see

[@briannalane4899]

Great vid man keep it up

[@triggerhappyhippie]

Ok been watching lots of beginners tips videos and from the footage it seems people don't use sidearms, how come? In many shooters switching to a gun to finish the enemy off is a classic tactic. But 1) are sidearms really that bad damage wise? 2) is switching to it really that slow? Pistols are often under rated in many games, but they might just be crappy in EFT idk. I used to get TONS of kills with pistols in BF.

[@Spelo1]

Because by "many shooters" you mean arcade one. Shooters like bf are in that category, you can easily switch to pistol in a second if you run out of ammo on primary, but in tarkov pmc puts his primary first which takes lots of time, and then grab pistol. Unless devs add quick switching to pistol while still holding your primary, it's only worth doing if you ran out of ammo in your mags primary weapon. Plus everything in tarkov cost money, so it's better off selling your pistols and finding one in raid. If you resort to using pistol over your primary, then you already screwed, because most players run good body armor and helmets, which pistol bullets is nowhere to penetrating it.

[@ScoobyDrewski]

Hey, Im looking into getting a laptop to play this. Does anyone have any recommendations?

[@NtaksAKAKevin]

I would not recommend that you get a laptop for any gaming . Only if you have to . Try looking into a desktop pc

[@aronrascon]

If you need to get a laptop, the Lenovo Y740 works, as long as it has the RTX 2060. I use it whenever I need to organize my stash, and if I need to do a raid with it, use a mouse and keyboard preferably.

[@MatthaisUK]

@@aronrascon The idea that anybody might honestly consider trying to play an FPS with a touchpad would never enter my mind. Really?

[@aronrascon]

@@MatthaisUK I work in the field a lot. I've done a few scav runs on a cell phone hotspot and touch pad. Profitable runs too. If nothing else, the early game in Tarkov should teach you: make do.

[@TheRealUnconnected]

buy a desktop for gaming, and a cheap laptop for laptopping. Gaming laptops are a horrible compromise and they are expensive. You can buy a gaming PC and a cheap laptop for the price of a gaming laptop. Gaming laptops are heavy, have bad battery life and are not actually very good for gaming. The only time a gaming laptop is worth it is if your job means you're always traveling and away from your home going around the country for half the year, in that case, i can see the benefit. But outside of very frequant business travel, its just not worth it.

I tell my new friends to get over gear fear as soon as possible and ALWAYS buy the best rounds. I can't tell you the amount of times I've died because I cheaped out on ammo.

[@PrKr1111]

What about doing a video on where to extract? Honestly that is the hardest part of the game for me, finding out where exactly to extract. I've had so many frustrating runs, gearing up but ultimately running out of time because I can't find the extraction zones, or if I do find them, they don't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to buy a map in order to extract? A lot of these "beginner" videos don't cover the basics. Like I played the game for almost 2 hours before I found out (from a friend) that hitting "o" twice brings up what extract zones are available in any given map. If you're going to do a beginner series, please cover some of the BASIC basics - this game is unaccessible AF.

[@paydennordlund]

These beginner guides are more for the basics to stay alive in general. For map specifics look up specifically a map guide for the map you want to learn. Pestilly makes map guides for every map and shows all the loot, spawns, as well as extracts. Another thing that helps is having a map pulled up on a second monitor, phone, or tablet. There are multiple copies of all the maps on reddit as well as the EFT wiki page. Hope this helps out, I am a newer player myself, but this is what has helped me over the past week or 2 since I started. Good luck friend.
