Escape from Tarkov is a massive multiplayer online combat simulator with RPG elements developed by Russian Saint-Petersburg-based game developer, Battlestate Games. Set in the fictional Norvinsk region located on the frontier between Russia and Europe, the metropolis of Tarkov was plunged into anarchy thanks to the Contract Wars. What was once a bustling city, is now roamed by rivalling scavenger gangs and former private military forces and black ops units. Between them all, there's you, your stash, and the escape back to the free world from the depths of Tarkov.

Step #1 it’s never too late to start

[@Jacketz123]

Just started playing last week. Frequently dying to Lvl 40’s sniping you miles away can be very frustrating but the game has been a lot of fun so far!

[@MK-kr4rv]

It is, the advantage gap of being new and having Nothing against Players with decent kits is huge.

[@MilkTestingMan]

@@MK-kr4rvnot true when literally 1 bullet to the face will kill anyone. It’s arguably better to start mid wipe or so, because you can get better without having to worry about keeping up after wipe. You can just focus on learning the game, and get prepared for the next wipe.

[@fire-is-mediocre]

Can confirm. Started this wipe three weeks ago when all my buddies were level 30+ and I've already caught up to some of them. I'm at level 29 now

Do the quests! Especially when the grind starts to really pick up, the xp from finishing them can really help fill up those levels so you can get the next trader level and cheaper parts ammo and equipment!

[@Flyright07]

Thanks

[@Lilkuro777]

I stopped at level 20 gonna jump back in

[@ShadowSpartan9x]

Im trying to play but ive lost so much gear (insured of course) that i just started running a knife until i can use the scav to get more loot.

I just realized tickle me pinks channel picture is artwork from a music group called PANTyRAID. Good stuff mane!!!!

solid stuff here

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

appreciate it

[@lizthatonenun]

Do you have any tips for doing the quests they're being camped still despite it being more than a month into the wipe

[@hezi5729]

Just keep trying to do it. Took me 6 raids to complete pocket watch earlier in the wipe because someone was always ratting watching it.

[@paizurilife2442]

Love the factory scav tip. 60% of all my scavs are done on factory why? Because I do them whenever I die first when I play with my pals, I run em passively inbetween chores, it's a great way to passively and actively gain scav rep since it's not exactly hard to find pmcs. People think factory scav sucks and thats because they don't understand the purpose of the map.

[@hezi5729]

Thing is, when it comes to tasking on maps like shoreline,lighthouse,interchange I’m just so lost even with guides. Level 25 1st wipe. Having fun though.

[@xmramix]

any 1 got scaving problem? it takes ages after the patch?

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

yeah theres a matching bug.

This is my first ever Tarkov wipe I might be making a video on it soon from transitioning to Tarkov from rust after 8.5k hours if anyone is interested I did main streets and by far is my favorite map since I can snap and disengage into cover much easier than woods in my opinion

[@DemonicW0rm]

why is everyone ignoring that this guy is cracked at tarkov😮

[@dreamplayer2077]

rehehehehuu great content

[@Lacrete74]

I really much a noob when it comes to Tarkov, but I think always expecting someone to have buddies and not hesitate to rotate to have another line of sight on someone really ups my survivability

[@SteaminPile]

Yeah!!

[@kumaye9446]

This is my 1st wipe im lvl 42 right now and struggling

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Sounds like your killing it

[@davisterisboss3387]

I dont advise going to factory for scaving once you are rank 15. Its much much better to go to reserve, each one of my runs is a minimum of 300k. But on average its around 500-600k runs.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Usually not very time efficient and time is your most valuable asset.

[@davisterisboss3387]

@TickleMePinkGaming theres also more risk at factory. Its good for wipe or early wipe though but lots of pmc rats like to farm scavs there.

[@fluffow2675]

My good map is factory, but there's no loot except from all the corpses

[@danielbeauvais6790]

I wish I watched this 2 days ago I have 2k hours in the game but took a break for almost 2 years and streets has me feeling like a straight noob

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Youll get back in the groove in no time

[@DoctorGrove]

I'm a solo player who wasn't late to wipe, but I progress slower since this is my first wipe, I don't have any buddies to play with, and I am learning all of the ins and outs of Tarkov...which are legion haha. Thankfully I have learned Streets well enough to Scav it for some good profits haha.

[@bigsoap186]

easier way to get peacekeeper up passively is just sell all your diaries, sdiaries and those things that only sell to him and fence, by the time u are able to level him up you will have spent enough already and have a big stock of USD (but keep intels, SMT’s and MFD’s because they sell for a lot on flea)

[@Azalealiketheflower]

Don't actually do this with SMTs as they sell for a nearly 1:1 rouble cost on the flea, if you're not using the 7.62 SCARH bartet at LL3 mech 500 usd per sell is totally reasonable

[@bigsoap186]

@@Azalealiketheflower oh damn, last time i sold one was for like 150k

Dont sweat man, as long as your having fun.

[@13earj3w]

Being 'late' as a beginner I'd better tbh. You run into less competition on your quests. Plus the level cap on ground zero, it's way easier to avoid chads

"Don't do money runs"? I just spend 6 million on the hideout.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

You can not take my advice if you prefer.

[@joellasoe3218]

@@TickleMePinkGaming most of your advice is pretty good. I just feel like scav factory runs aren't going to make you enough for the hideout. The 6 million was for upgrading Intel 1-2, workbench 1-2, water collector 1-2, lavatory 2-3 and illumination 2-3. My survival rate while doing quests is probably 5%, very frustrating and not good for roubles. I really need money runs. Edit: I didn't start late. I have a job and go outside so it's effectively just like I started late.

[@sodawater5146]

why do people unironically recommend factory scavving is beyond me

[@achunkysquirrel5415]

PMC’s usually try to leave before player scavs spawn so and I have been able to get useable full kits off what’s left on dead players ends up netting 200k to almost a mil if you get lucky in 10 minutes compared to the other maps yeah you can make that much but it takes 10-15 minutes of hunting loot and possibly find nothing worth selling but factory farming has always made a nice chunk of change if you get out
