Starting Tarkov with a KNIFE Only! Escape From Tarkov Rags to Riches [E1S9]

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to my playthrough of Escape from Tarkov! This season of Rags to Riches we start our Wipe day by deleting our stash and set our goal of obtaining the kappa container! I've also decided to run my PMC only and no more Scavs to focus all my attention towards obtaining the Kappa container in Escape from Tarkov! I hope you enjoy this run of Escape from Tarkov Rags to Riches season 9!

voting for this as a name for next wipe

[@TheCasualPainter]

i love

[@Lovelandmonkey]

This goes hard tbh

[@aidennatteravent4519]

999 likes and 4 comments? Lemme fix that

[@FriesOnYt]

@@aidennatteravent4519you fixed absolutely nothing good job

[@NDO1998]

Have I finally caught this series right at the start?! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@DrGreenMachine795]

same here, my last wipe was 3 wipes ago. saw this reinstalled and now i lost my social life all over again

[@Pie_Smacker]

Just started playing a week ago because of your videos. Survived my first raid this wipe, got an airdrop during it and left with a T5000 sniper rifle and an hk416

[@michealnelsonauthor]

Epic first raid bro. Gg

[@DIY2505]

First half of this video helped me fall asleep. Second half I came back for as it’s just easy to watch with straight line strategy objectives. Thank you, subscribed

[@Geobeetle]

I just imagine all your subs slowly stop watching as the series goes on, but every single one of them come flooding back to watch the first episode of the new series

[@Halfman]

Also depends on the wipe. If the content EFT drops is good, the views stay up. Season 6 was a good example. Views stayed at 20k+ each

[@kingdinnerfly]

True, but now I can binge the whole season!

[@JarJarBinks025]

Halfman: “Are you Ready” Me: *shivers* When you got out of the first raid FAT I was just thinking “He’s back!!!”

[@doctorchoppa]

After a long break from tarkov this series always drags me back

[@BlaziinAcez]

Seriously! I took a break last wipe and now I am itching to get back into tarkov! Been doing practice raids in offline and to learn streets better lol and damn having it on high scavs and keep the difficulty as online and scav war has been some good learning experience!

[@GustavoPolanco.]

Season 9, and Halfman's back on track, lets goooooo!

[@nicholashummel5062]

I'm so pumped for a new season. I've been out of work with a rotator cuff injury and I've binged all your videos. Lets gooooooo!

[@bingus7247]

Are you OK now?

[@jorybeasley2677]

Man I've missed steady Half content so much! I'm so hyped for the upcoming triple threat content!

[@cheesegrater..]

im still new to tarkov and i watch your rags to riches videos to get an idea what good loot spots are and how to do certain quest. thanks man. keep up the good work

[@Lolley13]

I double down at what that guy said ^^^

[@saltire_2825]

Speaking facts ^^^

[@PurifiedReality23]

This series is my guilty pleasure late night watch. Don’t play Tarkov at all but yes I will watch Halfman 🤝

[@jacoblewis3273]

This is the first video I have watched from your channel and I am loving your gameplay. I travel too much for work and can not play Tarkov so your videos are my entertainment now. Thank you.

[@Wawa_cat123]

these types of videos are the best keep making em

[@donwilliams6223]

Absolutely love to see how far your channel has grown man.

[@skeven0]

Finally something to watch while i keep gettin "Connection Errors" while loading in to streets :)

[@buzzboy417]

Love the series! Been watching since season 7 of R2R, finally started playing the game myself. Keep up the good work!!

[@shaqtus3365]

Yes!!!!! A new season of rags to riches! I lost track of the last one and wasn't able to catch up so I'm excited for the new season and I'm going to stay caught up this time.

[@thndrpnts]

HalfAndHalf--coffee creamer, or french fries and onion rings.

[@besteresisvpetry616]

Also started with a Knife only this wipe. The challenge ended early by luck as I found a LEDX on Woods at the USEC Camps

[@godmodegfx2071]

I am pretty sure that the dead scabs, duffle bags and square weapon crates are dynamic now

[@yugiohjedi442]

New season of RTR and a new comment streak. The reason why my last one stopped was I was going through some stuff and just let it slip by me. If you don't why I do this it helps out halfman so much by and i enjoy his content ans want to spread it but with all of that being said. Same rules as last comment streak. New season, new comment streak. I have to comment each episode, stash clean up, and I at least have to say hi to halfman during each Livestream, I will also comment on the Livestream itself. I have until the next video is uploaded or until the Livestream ends. Comment streak: 1 (Edit: Oh my goodness i was just saying over and over to talk the plague mask off. The sigh of relief when you did Halfman. Thank you)

[@kinglemon4165]

Ayyyyyyy. In Count Dooku's voice: "I've been looking forward to this."

[@Yacovo]

Thanks for the video. Congrats on the new season.

[@jakehoffmann9686]

So happy to be watching a new rags to riches. Best of luck half. Love your content and your positive attitude.

[@Socrates21stCentury]

Pretty cool, I have never played the game, so I enjoy you explaining what is going on ... 🙂

[@killerdc1165]

Just casually watching your videos in between raids, very interesting because I’m still learning how to do stuff and growing as a player thanks to you!

[@kalebjoiner2730]

Half man the best tarkov KZbinr without a doubt🤘🏻

[@N00000OOOOBY]

pestily, deadlyslob, mortus

[@thndrpnts]

Agreed!

[@kalebjoiner2730]

and none of them play the game like halfman@@N00000OOOOBY

[@N00000OOOOBY]

yeah they're better@@kalebjoiner2730

[@Imperial_Boltgun]

I must admit, I enjoy halfmans slow and methodical playstyle. I need to play like this because my reactions aint good enough to compete against these younguns.

[@ottoottman6703]

Btw you can check on what fire mode your weapon is by pressing alt + b and if you press just b again you change your fire mode without making a sound Which can help a lot of you really don't want to make any noise ... I don't know how often I heard that click and knew exactly that there's an enemy that knows that I'm close

[@ProfessorOfCookies]

He dropped the soap in the bathroom xD

[@tailhooked7208]

Dynamic stashes are going to be interesting this year! Those Interchange stash runs will be less consistent! Good luck this season, Sir!

[@JuveVinny]

I'm a new player. Owned the game for a year but was intimidated and never really dove in. I just got to it the last few days. It's hard. But videos like this help. I like the series and I'm going to watch more hope I can learn more and get decent eventually.

[@ZebsoN]

LETS GOOOO! Finally can i be watching from the start! Super hyped! Good luck!!!

[@mattyc409]

First time watching you and i really enjoyed it. You have a new sub 👍

[@NightmareWoona]

I am just now getting into your newest season and I love to hear the microphone is still funny at times.

[@jodiekozinko9058]

Woot Woot, started watching you during season 8, hyped to follow you thru season 9!!

[@landryjohnson8689]

This just got me to sub! How have I not found you sooner

These videos are the best to sleep to

Rag to riches is back i'm so excited. New name: Ragabond a play on the word Vagabond

[@Jehrid]

It's that time again! Glad to have you back buddy! Name: HalfAttack!

[@VoidReader]

So happy to see you back. Love your videos man.

[@Domo6768]

You have earned my subscription. Keep it up buddy

[@samerthebeast]

7:20 pretty sure you missed an adrenaline injector on the window

[@middenlandbest6075]

So excited for this season!!

[@JustPlainRex]

That windows sound at 46 minutes definitely got someone

[@zackbryans4982]

Seeing halfman paranoid going to D2 checking every last corner for campers is so validating. Died to campers so many times, widespread ptsd lmao

[@HUOGoofballs]

Great start! Glad to see you back at it!

[@ataulger6771]

Saw the video and immediately liked it.

[@saltire_2825]

Another halfman upload let’s go

[@nick11927]

Just had a baby so don't have time to play, so I'll be playing this wipe through you :)

[@crop_sightings]

Best EFT series. Love every season

[@michealnelsonauthor]

Smashed it, bro. Gg.

[@danielrasmussen4889]

i love these "series" its fun and exciting to watch gj :)

[@slowfully]

yooo im hella early to this, youre helping me get into tarkov and learn the maps and everything to do with it, keep up the good work!

[@toonz153]

30:06 bro missed a guy running from him and it scared me so bad

[@curtisthornsberry4236]

I love and hate the sheer amount of stuff you miss/pass up yet still get a really good outcome at the end of the round. Plus, dynamic loot means some lootable things aren’t where they normally are.

[@wolfygames4239]

honestly, i love watching tarkov. but im so bad with navigating around. love these series xxx

[@aydenwhite3192]

I play ghost of tabor (vr tarkov) man I can’t wait till ghost of tabor gets as detailed as this

You gotta remember to keep acknowledging the Buddha statues for continued luck and good fortunes

[@boii_0915]

quit tarkov long time ago but i still love to watch these videos

I'm in the same space!

*One USB disconnects* *Two USB's reconnect* I think your computer may be haunted Halfman....

[@Halfman]

Most definitely

[@jenne7771]

Enjoyed the video !

[@cmspearit4850]

Came here to see the gameplay before I bought it and I can honestly say it seems a bit overwhelming.😂😂

[@johnkaimann1755]

watching you miss that Bitcoin in the conference room on your first raid made my heart hurt....

[@user-gm1iu3by6x]

Ghost of tabor on vr is so much fun and its like this game. But it feels real

[@hrothgar5843]

Glad to see season 9!!!! Love all the rags series!!

[@OmegaKnightRed]

Good Luck for Season 9 Halfman. 19:59 Hahaha but, unlike Interchange, I don't know if these spawn Ledx's, yet.

[@druzeroseven]

Been watching you since 2021 :) Welcome to Season 9! Got 1500 hrs in the game and still your videos are very entertaining to watch

[@MyTroubleSoul]

Thanks for the video 🎉🎉

[@cadencesquare1704]

I like these videos, even a year later, don’t see much point in playing this like it’s just any other fps.

[@andrewmackay4814]

Love the smell of the first raid in a new season!

[@flyingcracker9895]

So excited to get this game and give it a try!!

[@haris396]

First kill was a paid actor

[@doragonsureia7288]

I started tarkov this season. First i played at least 5 practice raids on every available map to learn them and the weapons. Then started on factory, got a gas analyser and level 2. Got jaegers letter on woods first try after getting shot from 5 different angles and now i'm level 10 or sonthing like that. I recently discovered the hideout (My brain somehow refused to read that in the main menu) and i'm still struggling to get the MP-133 for Prapor, the Salewas for Therapist and the food for Jaeger.... I just don't find the stuff

[@lithium1770]

get to level 15 then buy it all

[@joshuamorgan877]

Glad the new wipe brings this amazing series! Can’t wait to learn from mine and your raids to get better at this game

[@Jujugoobrazzzy]

Watch for over the past few months finally got a pc 2 weeks ago got tarkov 1 week ago been grinding everyday after work for 3 hours and on my days off im on the entire day till like 2am im lvl 15 now im proud of myself im getting there

[@joelarem8445]

HalfAssForeplay should be the name lmao

[@nobodynose3000]

Missing that Bitcoin on the table at 28:03 is driving me crazy. Also dumping the 9x18 ammo instead of just loading it into the empty mag.

[@Halfman]

it was a Veritas pick on the desk. But yes, still missed it

[@nobodynose3000]

@@Halfman good show though man. Doing good this wipe

[@davidvaleije8096]

FUCK. YES. New wipe finally, just built my new pc, can't wait to load tarkow up again

[@Imperial_Boltgun]

Good luck. As my hardware gets better the game seems to get worse. Dat Tarkov Lyfe.

Yup, one can't put a Pillbox into Pillbox. And unless something was changed, Pilgrim doesn't go into Pilgrim.

[@invis_hood]

Name suggestion: "PartiallyMale"

[@user-on1lr8sv4h]

You learnt a subscriber, one suggestion is as you loot could you put item descriptions and price on screen so we can see why you've grabbed it eg: hydration or energy from food and drink or if items are needed for quests etc

[@Rizzlerdtherizzard]

Never played this game but you make it look easy

[@Viking6346]

Just out of curiosity do you record and then voice over or talk while you play? I can never manage to keep talking cause I get too caught up in the game

[@Halfman]

I talk while playing
