Escape From Tarkov PVE - Start Doing These Things ASAP! PVE Tips & Tricks!

[@yourstruly6093]

A lot of people will say PVE takes the 'main point' out of the game. I feel like it enhanced it immeasurably. It's much more enjoyable than PVP, in my opinion

[@AcezEFT]

YUP

[@ghstproject]

I started playing SPT when they released the map Lighthouse when I died to cheaters in almost every single raid. Since then there is no way I ever want to touch PVP again. Also I played the game for more than 3000 hours and up until the lighthouse wipe I did everything the game had to offer at least twice each wipe...

[@Anonimo-jhonsons]

its problaby because you suck on pvp

[@southwestendz1022]

So far I couldn't agree more..

[@WarmMilkexe]

1000% i really suck at PVP so my whole Tarkov career I've never really had a chance to learn the game and progress due to gear fear, map knowledge and cheaters, with the PVE I've been able to get decent tier loot learn PVP better, increase my map knowledge and actually have fun, knowing when i die i didn't die to some cheater half way across the map i died bc of my own stupidity. its great : )

[@l337fox]

The ZERO possibility of cheating will forever make PVE a much more enjoyable experience.

[@AcezEFT]

YUP

[@balazstarjani4351]

I disagree with this. I like both versions, but as of now fighting (legit) pmcs in pve is nothing like in pvp.

[@elrichzann]

I love pve for this - but some bugs really feel like cheaters. For example: the IT building on streets - with the relaxation room key spawn. I was getting LIT up. By MULTIPLE magazines worth through the walls in the middle of the building. I was getting hit, I saw my armor going down but thankfully it was eating all the damage. I was tweaking thinking some hacker got into my pve game 😭

[@jackal1261]

Hell yeah, I can finally play labs without being 1 tapped 3 seconds into the raid

[@TheSlyFawkes]

@@jackal1261 You must of not watched lots of Tarkov PVE videos, The PMC goons are cracked and will full auto your head through tree's a mile away. PVP feels less unfair than PVE

[@JonfromNC]

I work a lot, so my EFT time was just weekends, and I gave up. PVE I am back playing and having fun. Only thing I am trying to learn is the locations of PMC spawns so if I need X amount of kills on a map, I know where to go. Good videos, keep up the good work.

[@thedoctordrake]

The fact that when Tarkov PvE dropped, I instantly bought the Unheard edition for 65€, ngl it was worth alot doing so, because with pvp I struggled alot, with people cheating and couldn't even complete my quests, now that I can enjoy the game as a single-player, I'm enjoying it every single inch :D

[@samson_glass]

I did too and so glad I did. I use to play with other friends but they are now RPR's .... I'm solo ... worth every penny imho. This will be my 5th wipe coming up.

[@FramedUser]

Howed you get unheard for 65$? I’m way to broke to buy it since for me it is 250

[@thedoctordrake]

@FramedUser well, to get it for that price, you needed to have EoD which I did owned so yeah, this is why I got unheard for that price

[@FramedUser]

@@thedoctordrake oh, well lucky you I guess 👍

[@johnryan8985]

Last time I played tarkov ground zero wasn't a thing. This map is rough starting on. I'm not 30 feet from my spawn and I'll have 3 scavs to fight and then 2 pmc moving as a team surrounding my location. It is crazy trying to get tasks done. LoL they could of chilled on the population to a starter map... sheesh

[@FusionKota]

They just need to improve their pathing and behavior. They are always outside on the street and obscured by the bushes and debris all over, so it's almost impossible to fight them as you can't just peak for a minute from somewhere unexpected because you pretty much know they'll instantly spot you and have a chance of instantly killing you lol. As long as they improve the AI, it'll be so much more fun.

[@bigoljoe1829]

Yeah they very much need to turn the scav spawns down a little, BUT my biggest issue is the rogues. They need to take them off customs. It's become completely impossible to move through certain areas of the map because they're way over tuned for that small of a space.

[@DuncanGoNuts]

@@bigoljoe1829yeah I felt that way at first but now I love fighting them ! They are there to make you better you got this

[@austinin]

The only thing that I hope gets balanced is the amount of scavs just pouring in to your exact location every single raid. You barely have time to loot them afterwards and you dont even have time to loot the whole map, or even run to a specific side of the map because you have to bunker down for 15 minutes when they spawn. I switched to PvE for less stress from potential hackers, campers, and OP decked out PMC's, and this infinite spawning of scavs is not helping. I know the game is supposed to be difficult, but I feel like im playing COD Zombies with the sheer amount of scavs just endlessly spawning right next to me

[@dongriffith2662]

@@austinin I had a rage quit moment yesterday in pve because I cleared a room, walked past it, then had a scav spawn behind me and 1 tap me in the back of the head.... that shit ... maddening... I agree pve has been a godsend as I've gotten older and lost my reaction time.

[@sgtmonkeypirate]

Every once in awhile you get that scav bot that is just a terminator with his laser beam accuracy 😅

[@AcezEFT]

Played Lighthouse yesterday and got 7MM buckshot sniped by one of those rare specimens

[@Deronnia]

@@AcezEFT same on woods after finding my first Ledx. died with it from far with a 7mm shotgun shot from far xD. lucky had it in container tho

[@TylerBeRippin]

you mean every single game? peak a corner and you're dead

[@dracoeugene]

​@TylerBeRippin yep round a corner without hearing them and you're head tapped lol

[@BlacPlague]

You might not have to run face covers, however pve is perfect for rockin that in raid fashion. Plus you get it back when you die

[@pitsapits7503]

PVE made the game fun again. I've got over 700 hours and I've never been able to play enough to get past level 28 before a wipe. Not past level 3 right now but it's not due to the massive amount of times Ive been head eyes through a wall. Heck i don't even go into factory so that's going to be different. love your content and your honesty man keep fighting the good fight.

[@toji6476]

the scavs are rabid in pve

[@LuxTheFolf]

I thought they where more aggressive and murderous than usual 😂

[@ragnarokgaming6058]

Yeah, as someone who thought the pve would be easier, I was quite surprised at how aggressive things were.

[@LuxTheFolf]

@ragnarokgaming6058 Tbh I kinda enjoy it even if I'm horrible at the game 🤣😅

[@Diszzy2savv]

Really? I think it needs to be harder. I’m new to tarkov and I find it very easy. I play both PvP and pve but I’m using pve to go 2-3 quest ahead of my PvP tarkov so I “know what to do” when I get those quest. Making my PvP stats better.

[@LuxTheFolf]

@Diszzy2savv That's your own personal experience, choices and opinions, which are all valid but trust me you have yet to see the true colours of the BS ai within tarkov 🤣😅

[@TotallyNotAGrizzly]

My first PVP game I ever played I loaded into Factory and less then 5 seconds later I died to a TTV throwing a grenade right on my spawn. Im a disabled man; I love the in-depth mechanics, but my reaction time is shot, and I just can't compete in PVP. PVE has been a complete blessing to avoid "wringing out my 7 day old underwear" sweats that cant play games for fun. Thanks for the guides!

[@faydex86]

I dare say that pve AI is far more ruthless. Mainly the bear and usec. They are Crack shots and hit you where they need to. I've had a far more enjoyable time with super active pmc's running through and pushing all noise. It's intense but I'll be damned if this ain't the Escape from Tarkov experience I personally wanted.

[@TherakosXV]

I always bring 3 mags 30round or bigger and 120 extra rounds I haven’t needed more than that if I’m not mag dumping

[@npz1838]

As somebody in their 30s who doesn't have a lot of time, I LOVE single player Tarkov. It scratches the gun porn raid itch for me.

[@DawgsTheMan]

I'm so happy to see someone covering this in a positive and helpful light!! Thank you, liked, subbed, and gonna share with my friends, can't wait to follow this series!

[@IgnazioMozzarella]

PvE is definitely worth the additional cash for me. I've barely played EFT because I had little time for it, and I never managed to make it to the flea market before a wipe. Most encounters were still against the AI, with player encounters being mostly exit camps, so it's not like the quality of gameplay got worse in any way. Finally enjoying the game now, and there's so much more shooting now (and I love EFT's gunplay).

[@IgnazioMozzarella]

@@sheixas Well, as far as the experience itself is concerned, it was different for me. My PvP raids were mostly more relaxed, uneventful compared to the action-packed fights against numerous scavs in PvE, and I was making money rather than losing it. But when I finally stumbled upon a player there, it would often just be some exit camp. I don't mind, it's a viable tactic, but also not exactly the type of gameplay I'm after. It could get fairly boring, and I just didn't have the time, especially when I knew all the looting would be for nothing as I could never reach a meaningful level in the game with the little amount of time I put into it.

[@Savitzen]

I can't wait until i get my urge to play EFT again. Because im hopping straight in PVE. Something ive ALWAYS wanted. I love Tarkov. but PVP has never been my thing. So glad they finally are actually listening and im able to play BY MY SELF. and progress how I WANT TO.

[@TacShooter]

Yeah, camo isn't going to matter in PvE. I've been trying to get developers to add camo perception to A.I. by comparing RGB values, but no luck yet.

[@FabianAcevedo-r3o]

I quite like the PVE/co op PVE. I have EOD and I like it. Variety is always a good thing, especially when I'm going to do something with my wife; I can jump on without having to take it as seriously, right before I leave to go and do whatever.

[@aaronjameshorne]

Both pve and spt are bringing new life back into tarkov. Also mods will be supported and keep this game alive. I'm excited tbh

[@4got2sleep7]

I'm not sure what to think. I always dreamed of slow playing PvE tarkov, i dont have time and i suck at pvp too much to play normally. I played 500h h and I love the game, but I dont play it any more because of that. But also BSG f*** up badly. Normally I wouldnt mind upgrading my EOD to support the game a little bit more. But in those circumstances I think ill wait to be a winner in the wave unlock lottery :D

[@thegamingkage6162]

Do you guys also sometimes see PMCs not fighting scavs at all ? In Factory that sucks..and Tagilla also lol

[@tangbo2391]

They do fight, it’s just that the PMC AIs don’t push really

[@nickwanrooy6130]

Tried some PvE, got caught with my pants down with no ammo multiple times already. Normally I bring like 3/4 mags in pvp. In PvE I bring like 6 or 7

[@jakub.ur.906]

I would like you to show how to deal with pmc-s. I tried to snipe one. I was so far away that no human player would see me - unless through a thermal. And yet bot saw me and one shot me to the face :)

[@zachary5109]

Had a 50 kill run on factory they were spawning so much they were glitched into each other in bunches of 3. I don’t loot them but honestly if you do it can be a great way for keys

[@Dunkmiester007]

Appreciate the video. I’ve been searching for days and all I find are hate videos.

[@boowav]

Please make a PVE Lighthouse/rogues guide. It's much harder since there aren't other PMCs to kill any of them or distract them.

[@lassisanton]

best way to make money is just to run marked rooms, honestly. ive gotten like 5 keycards and made around 60 mil first 2 days. very easy money since scavs and AI pmcs are so easy to kill

[@yourstruly6093]

Where do you get the keys? I'd assume flea, but 314 is currently 5mil + so I'm trying to find other routes lol

[@savagerabbit8335]

[@RattrickBaitman]

[@defiantace21]

Love how you ended your video lol I have been playing tarkov on and off since 2019 and this new mode made the game way more interesting and fun. I have only stopped playing to go to sleep and work that’s it. I agree with the scavs are on another level I feel like we are just marked for death once you start shooting unless you completely rotate to a different spot in n the map

[@danielimbriaco3917]

i havent played tarkov in 3 years so im coming back with pve

[@AcezEFT]

It’s great, you’ll have a lot of new stuff to check out.

[@pwpedro007]

Hey, I really enjoyed your PvE videos with tips and suggestions. Could you let me know if the AI detects unsilenced weapons? I prefer using them without silencers but am unsure if it's worth the trade-off. Also, since the update and the addition of the Partizan Boss, my raids on Woods have become much tougher, especially since I just started playing. I'm loving it though, and I plan to farm this Boss once I improve my character. I've already had two raids in a row where he hunted me down in Woods, even though I'm not camping and just trying to level up quickly to 15. Brazilian here, you are famous ❤

[@caiofriederichs]

My only problem its that PMC feels a little unbalanced. Maybe i'm bad, but for me they are sharp in hit shots at you really fast.

[@RattrickBaitman]

they are raider ai keep swapping where you peak and how and they will never kill you.

[@furiousfelicia5751]

ES lamps are selling at 100k right now in PVE 😅

[@TheSpectralFX]

As an EoD player, I might get on board with PvE Tarkov if they honor their promise of getting us the expansion for free like they promised. otherwise its a waste of time.

[@eutheniser]

So, in PVE are you only playing against AI? Or will there be other human pmc's in a raid?

[@spyro9979]

its called PVE, there no humans that can join Against you

[@thomas.o95]

there are ai pmc´s that run around the map and fight scavs and you

[@VeryJUICED]

i’ll ne honest. I’m a HUGE pvp player and I honestly thought pve tarkov was going to be complete dogshit and boring as fuck and then I started to play it and it’s honestly such a chill and super fun gaming experience. It really makes you realize how much stupid bullshit you run into while playing PvP when it’s missing now. I was wrong and PvE is actually quite fun. Definitely check it out if you haven’t yet. :)

[@jamesvang4392]

No hackers and cheaters? Wow! This game will never die now.

[@IgnazioMozzarella]

By the way, do scavs spawn infinitely, or do they simply run in from all over the map attracted to noise (the tips about their behaviour seem obvious, but I found them useful, thanks!), and that's why I sometimes get swarmed? 😄 As for ammo, instead of taking a ton of it, I mostly just ran with AK-74. The 5.45x39 ammo is really common in the scav pockets.

[@AcezEFT]

I believe it’s the noise but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was some kind of support tactic the scavs use once a scav dies.

[@IgnazioMozzarella]

@@AcezEFT Thanks. Yeah, they do shout stuff like "they killed one of ours" in Russian, and then just keep coming.

[@oscaarr921]

How is the PMC spawn and behavior ?

[@AcezEFT]

Still learning it but the spawns are typically in the main POIs of the map your playing. It also seems like larger maps have a squad that roll through the entire map clearing out scavs as they move through it. 3 or 4 in a group that work together. They are similar to raiders when it comes to difficulty. Sometimes you insta die, sometimes they forget to shoot you lol.

[@DoorskipDNB]

I ran into a 6 man working with a scav the other day lol needs a little work yet

[@ThicctoriousJordan]

@@DoorskipDNBI was looking for someone with a similar experience as me. Was on woods when a 3 man pushed me and they had a scav following them. Threw me off. Lol

[@kyleritter2854]

I found groups of pmcs camping ruaf roadblock in customs in about half the raids I been in. Dorms too (bring grenades I swear they just let them blow up in their faces)

[@furiousfelicia5751]

They’re always in same spots for the most part. Usually in groups of 3. Sometimes there’s solo ones too. They do not free roam tho. And they’re a lot easier to take on cqb than on range cause if you miss they beam you from like 200m away.

Or the one PMC I run into mows me down before I even know he's there... 20 raids in and I only survived a single Customs raid, but let's face it... Customs is kiddie mode if you're not going for Rashala. Can't get the tasks done on Ground Zero... Starting to think I'm just not meant to play Tarkov.

[@ButYesButNoButYesButMaybe]

Customs for a fresh account is a suicide.... Goons run you down if you even have a look at that side of that map. HALF of the map. Play ground zero super slow and as soon as you finish quests there, never go there again... Every other map is no problem. I've just farmed Interchange and Factory with Ppsh rip ammo and armour from fence all the way to 15 :) as ling as youre not even looking at kiba/mantis Interchange is super easy to make money and gear up on flea...
