The MOST IMPORTANT Skill To Learn In Tarkov...

[@JesseKazam]

What map do you know like the back of your hand in Tarkov?

[@jesseroberts1041]

Interchange. Always discovering new parts of the map like containers or loot spawns.

[@Delescaw]

customs and interchange easily

[@martinleland3969]

Customs, factory, woods

[@RB-ob2nz]

Customs, Factory, Woods and reluctantly Shoreline. I avoid Reserve, Interchange and Streets like the plague

[@themasterobudder4504]

customs though I feel like I find something new everytime I play

[@BHicklin15]

jesse makes me want to jump into solo raids and go hamm on people but once i get there i always have the feeling of 'i've made a mistake 😅'

[@pedroskipr]

Hahahah same sentiment here 😅

[@camerontapia9072]

Ok, GOB 🙄

[@redshadow9381]

Same and then turn off game and go watch his stream…

[@FintechFatherAI]

For me this amps the survival aspect. It's not supposed to be easy. The one time I'd want to squad if it was all us versus just the CPU (offline). I think solo is the true game experience.

[@its_trenner2900]

Once the ability to click "Back" goes away I know I've made a huge mistake lol

[@Simplechioces]

Absolutely the number #1 most overwhelming thing for beginners. Map knowledge. First time I played. I just loaded into offline raids for like 10 hours and just ran around with an internet map on a few maps. Completely changed my success rate for online raids. Invaluable. And pretty fun when you crank the AI up.

[@cameronlamb1869]

teaches you nothing about spawns and map movement with regard to other pmcs, only live online gameplay can do that

[@alphadeltaroflcopter]

@@cameronlamb1869 and hes specifically talking to the importance of map knowledge.

[@Simplechioces]

@@cameronlamb1869 You are right, but when I spawned, I knew where I was and where other people could spawn.

[@Ashley-wi4ng]

The spawn point is huge, as a solo the amount of times if sniped a member of a large squad who got the spawn beside me and ran away knowing they will flank and take angles for a few minutes and as long as I keep moving its one less squad that I will run into as I cross map. I tend to head right to task or other side of map then loot so I'm not traveling heavy.

[@GREENWOLFxAURORA]

Yo Jesse the animations you have for the PvP pathing is incredible, would be awesome to have a static image map of the standard PvP pathing on most maps that it would work on. Super cool

[@TheOnlyRatDragon]

Oh definitely this. Do this.

[@GREENWOLFxAURORA]

@@TheOnlyRatDragon 💯 would be a really good resource

[@haydenword368]

i’ve been maining shoreline for about a year now, and somehow have never though if breaking glass and jumping down the sky bridge like that! always something new to learn

[@LefanSnow]

I wanna thank you seriously for making this kind of video. I've been playing for three wipes and I've never really seemed to understand the combat with other PMC's completely. However, this video really gives me a place to start working on making myself better at the game, rather than just telling myself to 'just get gud' over and over again after I die to something that could have been prevented.

[@DJ_Treu]

2:10-2:18 - I LITERALLY died 7/10 runs of shoreline, pulled up a map and used common sense to think where i would go if i was a PMC spawned at the points near me and have only died on spawn once on shore in my past 15 raids there. (Obv died a ton after getting out of the area and near resort but thats a different thing LOL)

[@DeliceProductions]

Even with 2k hours not a single one i feel like. And i mean really knowing the map (every single pmc extract, scav extracts included, every elevation you can use, jumps you can do to get somewhere, good keys and where valuable loot can be found, what every single room is designed like). Maybe customs. Rest I still have so much to learn. I do have to say its my first wipe playing solo and in the 300ish raids iv done so far. I learned more (in depth knowledge) than all 4 wipes before combined. Lvl 38 now. SR only 45% tho.

[@justjulianmusic]

There’s 3 stair cases in each wing and 2 outside ones

[@Magswap]

If only we had an after raid/server replay system where we could free cam and watch how we die.

[@H4FF]

To be fair, if you just watch your own recording back, you'll almost always know. That said, I wouldn't mind it, but I feel like it doesn't really suit the kind of game Tarkov wants to be.

[@Magswap]

@Eelke van der Brug I already know that type of system most likely won't be coming to the game, but I'm convinced that's exactly what Tarkov needs. So much potential for making content in various ways for a lot of people, and would help tremendously for new players. Yes most of the type you can see right when you died, but replay systems are nice to figure out how that player got to their position and when.

[@H4FF]

@MAGSWAP I can see how it would be cool for content and learning the game for sure. I suppose we just disagree on whether Tarkov "needs" it, and that's fine :)

[@Magswap]

@Eelke van der Brug okay I'll budge on it "needs" it...Tarkov needs a lot of other things. Replay system would be really nice to have for the tens of thousands of players that don't have 20+hrs a week to play video games.

[@H4FF]

@MAGSWAP Lol yeah it does need a lot of things. And that's fair man, we'll see what they do! We didn't expect the sudden shift in responsiveness with regards to recoil and stamina changes either, so they may surprise us with other things too.

[@AverageOl]

Love these big picture tips videos! By far the the most easy to digest Tarkov videos out there! Bravo sir!

[@AhafTheArab]

5:37 both wings have holes in the floor for 2nd and 3rd story

[@shaneWARs1]

One thing you can do if you don't want to learn the spawn points just hide in a bush for a minute or to then find a root that's less traveled before you do your tasks or loot if you need to survive.

[@Lothil88]

True. After respawning on customs I died in 30 seconds under an electric pole. In the next game I checked and in 30 seconds I got a kill in the same place.

[@dylanlindley4962]

loaded into factory today in the glass hallway, had a guy in the room at the end, blinded each other with flash lights, then both legged it. sadly his mp7 was faster than my mp-133 and i was back to the lobby inside of 25 seconds

[@brycepiontek161]

So happy to see you doing this type of video again

[@Jibbzz]

The main thing is to complete tasks, TASKS ARE KING! Well... If you're a weekend warrior like me 😏. Only map idk is labs

[@stevenchaney7396]

Labs I think has the most hackers tbh

[@BrunoSa96]

For sure map knowledge gives biggest upper hand, there's a reason why they call geography the science of war. I started the game recently and been maining woods, and boi it feels good to see ppl lost and know exactly what's going on hahaha, now doing scav runs on customs to get to know the dirty tricks so I can start pmcing customs too, seems like a wicked map

[@F.R.A.G.G.E.D]

Your content is top tier man I've watched for so long and never been subbed and for that I apologize You deserve the stars for the time effort and content quality you provide to us players and streamer / content crestors alike You are love my g PLEASE KEEP IT UP 💯

[@smorgasborgas]

Great video. Took a topic that was beat to death and explained it in a new way

[@SoloGhosty9838]

I shared this vid to my squad bc I have insane map knowledge, those guys cant see even after playing all wipe that where we are facing is the mine field on woods

[@АрменПтукян]

I really cant undarstand this "flank" well of course if you 100m away if works, but in dorms or in the resort in particular. if enemey hold the angle its impossible to do anything like "flank" coz they will hear regardless of how fast you move. And coz of that they now exactly where you are going, and you dont. But thanks anyway. I really want to see how you spot the enemey becouse its my biggest problem, I just cannot see the enemey

[@RocceFella187]

5:18 little reminder, there are 3 staircases in each wing + metal stairs outside^^

[@johnhuynh7897]

Jesse you’ve helped me so much with confidence as a solo player. I can now confidently get 2 pmc kills all i need now is to survive :/

Jesse might be the best tarkov creator on KZbin and his Discord is amazing 👌🔥

If you don't know the spawns there's a simple trick. People spawn to your left, your right, infront and behind you. Now that you are expecting to be killed from all directions you are good to go!

i miss the 4x4 injector case

NOOOOOOOO Jesse why? I had finally forgotten the knowledge guy now he's in my head again

[@MrRaja]

Your video just had a ad from the company AIAJ they are promoting RMT and leveling service. You need to contact KZbin and have them remove and report that ad content.

[@Money_2598]

custom but need to learn more

[@taylorfisher3944]

Spawn knowledge: reserve, shoreline and streets intensifies

[@dailybruce9047]

Such a good video. Gonna use this vid to help sherpa my friends who are new to the game

[@ReekPeak]

Hey love all ur vids they’re super helpful I’m new to the game still and I’m getting stuck with being afraid to go to other maps. I HATE factory but it’s the only map I have any sort of confidence in. Are there any other maps that are “good” for newer people? And does the scav difficulty actually mean anything?

[@AverageMayhem]

Great video Jesse. How did you get the aerial footage though?!

[@im_an_eagle2209]

That first clip of the guy on labs.... That guy must have been deaf

[@FordFalcon54]

Okay I got one that I've never asked ...can someone learn me please. Map spawns. Do you know based on where you spawned which spawns are likely to be used next to you? Sometimes spawns are pretty close to each other. Sometimes people spawn close to me other times it seems I'm alone. Is that just the way it is? Or do you know based on spawning at x spawn these other spawns are off and these ones are open? For instance, I know that if I spawn at scav house on woods there's like an 80% I get head eyes if I try to cross the road and b line for suppressor shack but I can't tell you that someone spawns over there every time I spawn at the scav house.

[@brennanorr2]

Well theres 3 spawns at scav house so and there are limited amounts of players on each map if people arnt in the spawns its normally because there is a larger group and not as many solos so the spawns weren't used

[@FordFalcon54]

​@@brennanorr2 That's basically what I'm asking. Is it guaranteed to spawn and it's not. You just have an educated guess of where there could be players. I had a weekly of 15 woods extracts yesterday with like 5 hours left and 8 more to do. I really played around with the spawns and seeing if people always spawn. They don't. But I did kill a duo off spawn by scav house they spawned at the rocks across the road from scav house close to outskirts. It was fun they had no idea I came up behind them from outskirts. Popped some shots had them panicking slowly moved up. Killed the level 24 repositioned on his buddy so well that he pushed my old spot with his back to me from my new position. Felt pretty bad afterwards cause the kid was like a level 12 but it was awesome to apply this video's knowledge and get some kills fast off the start. I have like 5 KD so I'm not bad...I'm just a rat.

[@An1mat0rz]

I wish tarkov had some sort of small kill cam feature, or maybe some still shot of when the player killed you. Just after your death or some external menu like this would help a lot of players understand their positioning along with others far better... Like that dorms window clip, if you know for a fact they're upstairs and you die from the hall they could ask "how did they get there?" and look into it, or holding an angle in the open and getting sniped might make them think "I shouldn't stand there".

[@PrestonTG3]

Where did you get the background image from for your thumbnail?

[@paulinerutherford4958]

fyi there are 3 holes in the floor on shoreline my friend

[@TheNinjaPoodle]

How do spawns work?? I noticed certain spawn areas have multiple spawn points in a very very closed area. Are people able to spawn right beside each other or can you assume a spawn will be empty if you spawn close enough to it ? for example bottom left town on shoreline

[@TheNinjaPoodle]

@rektum Really good to know, thanks lots!

[@CallsignPuddlez]

Nice dude

[@Son_Of_Kouric]

How is the fov so high? 4:35

[@atspats112]

I just shot a fucking full mag at a scav. He one tapped me in head eyes and laughed. Aim is king in this game. I just suck at it hard. No prior FPS experience, 2000 hours in Tarkov.

[@gregstewart8281]

Thanks again for the video Jessie, Hey community is anyone else having problems running streets Need to know if there's something on my computer that's messing it up or is it just streets

[@sccaziptie]

Another great video 🤘🏻

[@Bcflamer]

I've been teaching my buddy the game recently. A few days in he goes "I think you worry too much". No brother, you don't worry enough. Always be in a state of paranoia in tarkov. Expect someone behind every doorway and expect someone to be close to you waiting/watching

[@dredre0702]

Thanks Jesse. I like to think I have a good idea of where I am on most of the maps (except damn woods.........) But exact spawn points are sometimes rough and I just have to move around until I find my usual landmarks. Guess I need some more time in offline lol

[@H4FF]

It doesn't have to be offline, to be fair. You will learn with any playtime you spend, on or offline. Watching content can help too, if you're watching streams or videos of full raids, you end up seeing a lot of the maps too. Don't be too afraid to be a little clueless, honestly. You're not failing by not knowing all the things that people with thousands of hours do. It's fine to be learning still, and as you improve, you will start catching more people off guard whilst getting caught less and less yourself. It's a natural process :)

[@FintechFatherAI]

I wish there was a way to have a game like Tarkov, which has randomly generated maps. If in real stuff, you would most likely not know the territory. Also then yeah, it comes down to combat knowledge and I guess like "hunting" stuff as opposed to just yeah map knowledge. The most disappointing thing about this game to me is that I learn the maps as it goes on, and that yeah makes it easier.

[@foxhopsmash3578]

Thanks DAD!

My group collectively has about 20k hours in the game. Off the rip, we know where everyone is. Throughout the raid, we will track everyone’s paths around the map based on gunshots from scavs or players. We will use this information to predict where everyone will be at any give point of time in the raid. It truly makes for an extremely unfair advantage. I love it
