i really like your editor, he does everything well, doesnt go to crazy, but still has a little bit of personality in what he does

[@timdesource]

2 tips : You can easily buy an access card from therapist after each reset if you are quick enough (3-5min max) for like 216k, way better than the 470k on the flea If you are a duo or more and have the green keycard, buying the keycard with blue marking is a good idea so while one guy is looting green room, you can sit in the sanitar room and loot/wait till your friend finishes looting green, if people start coming towards you, don't make any noise and tell your friend in green to try to bait them in so you can open your door and hit them with the rat attack in the back, easy way to get kills if you aren't very geared.

[@C4LLM3AN1MAL]

2nd tip is god tier

[@Vorgto]

Hey Pestily, Idea for another level of these map guides. You should show us what to do after every spawn position. The best routes from there to avoid PVP and the best to get into PVP. Would be awesome to see that level of detail for each map after your initial series. Just help with the first 5 min from each spawn as the series you're doing now would explain it from there. Keep it up, you're the chad of streamers. Edit: What loot places are closest if you want to run them out. ect ect

[@SpaceDoge103]

i was so hyped that i got a labs entry keycard on my 2nd day of playing tarkov and i did not know how the map was so i played a bunch of offline and i've learned the map well. The map isn't like the other since you need a keycard to access it and it's such a larger risk to use it. Despite all that, i still enjoy playing this map so much. Even though i already learned so much about the map, i'm glad and i thank you so much for going through the spawns.

[@NIGHTRIDER364]

For those that are just learning the game, specifically this map, I recommend having a tablet, phone, other monitor, etc. open with a map in the beginning. Even when watching this video (I've never played on labs) I pulled up the labs map on my tablet (app: Tarkov Map) and I followed Pestily as he went through the map, that way I have a better idea of where I'll be when I load into the map (since I'm going to be playing while my tablet has the map pulled up either way). It's also a bit easier to create a mental map of labs by having a map of labs already opened and simply transferring the 3D game onto the 2D map.

[@Kungpoopy]

You forgot the part where you die 30 secs after you load in

[@nathanbanyasz7315]

Nah i just crawl around for 40 minutes and fail to get to extract in time

[@Florian_Nairolf]

Hey Pestily, thanks for the video. There are a lot things I learned from you here. What I like to add is, that you should mentioned that the Keycard with Bluemarking (one you call Tape Keycard) is a onetime use only. It would also have been interesting to see where the path next to Hangar Gate leads to (where PMCs can spawn and where you would throw nades into the windows if you'd spawn close by).

[@SheefGG]

At 19:00~ you say there is a black keycard spawn on that table (and that you somehow miss it all the time) - It's on the next table over. It's the table directly across from the folder of intel/vpx spawns on the cabinet. The black keycard spawns closest to the intel/vpx cabinet on that table

[@SheefGG]

And another black keycard (and folder of intel/rfid) can spawn across from dome on that little white table with the computer on it

[@paradoxalgamesOG]

Thanks, Pest! You making a huge difference for Tarkov players by creating such amazing videos and guides! Hope you doing well! Good luck!

[@peijjoo_ni9826]

Great video. I already lost my motivation when I tried to raid in labs, but after I whatched the video I bought couple of keys and went back and even survived. Thank you Pestily, stay awesome

[@Skurbbz]

Violet at the START of wipe when it’s cheap is worth it. Every key is worth it downswing they scenario and point in the wipe. With COFDMs and RFID being high at start of wipe as well as attachments you can make bank. Violet was the third key I got on Labs and def made a change. But I did get it for 3m, and both my Blue and Green for under 3m as well. (Watch the markets at night) now they’re all like 9m+ it’s crazy.

[@Skurbbz]

Airforcejuan As much as I hate cheaters I didn’t let it deter me away from my favourite map. And even still going to labs and dying 2/3 of the time to cheaters at the start sucked, I still made more money easily from labs compared to the average player base. And I mean when you get Kappa so quick the game gets stale at times and Labs is the fun map IMo

[@e10king]

Thank you, this is the one map I need to know

[@Rocknoob49]

Back when labs was open to everyone I had a lot of good parking fights on the spawn side. Open the doors, fall back to the stairs and peek from there. With a 3man you can have one holding basement, one fight back hallway and one hold parking from stairs. Play heavily around the doors and when you open/close which. Disclaimer: That was before access card, grenade spam and healing animations

If you put your key card on your person you can enter labs in an offline raid without using up the card.

To properly learn Labs you have to play it A LOT, and you will die a lot. Simply knowing the layout ain't enough. Once you learnt it other maps are boring in comparison.

A really difficult map to understand. Perhaps a mini map while showing the map could make this easier to follow. I understand setting that up would be effort. Is it a tactic to spawn in and hide until 10mins are left then loot your mind out? The hope being everyone gone already

it would be super helpful as someone following along with your guide step by step if you used some directional instructions as to your movement through the map, like "as you leave weapons testing room, turn to your left and come all the way around and take a right to this area" instead of "then you go here, and here, and then here". you move so quickly throughout the map that turning my head to my screen to orient myself and follow along, i can completely lose track of your pathing and end up watching a part multiple times or more just to understand where you are going.

It would have been nice if you had used some more maps. You used less maps on Labs then most of the other maps and tbh Labs is the most confusing! The run around was nice and helped me learn quite a lot, (though remembering all these loot spawns is a bit too much). I would have preferred to have a bit more map overlay. Still, I wont complain too much. Thank you for the guide.
