extremely relatable video and great tips, only just started my 2nd wipe and always find myself as a solo against god knows how many in a group. sometimes i feel like i play too slow to notice things but always gets me killed somehow. fingers crossed on this wipe. definitely getting a sub here and twitch follow, keep the helpful content coming!

[@TheGoatLocker]

Damn, so much relatable content in this one video, its incredible. From being a dad to the fear induced by solo pvp, the patient - reposition playstyle, the long stand off scenarios, losing track of time looking through loot, and finally missing the path to lighthouse extract by near seconds (among others but I just recently had that that exact experience play out a few days ago), and having to drop gear for insurance before the mia death 😂 remarkable, definitely earned a sub! Looking forward to more videos from you man. I'd love to see them change the extract to if you make it there to the location of extraction before the time runs out your good. Missing it by a literal second is so painful 😅

[@fanb0ynate]

Pinning this comment, thank you so much for the kind words. This is exactly the reason why I made the vid. I know there’s a ton of us out there playing this game casually, and we need a voice!

[@ogsimpson3253]

Love it, I'm not a dad yet but am an uncle & can still relate lol. There were a few nights I just didn't play, but honestly probably still could've I suppose. Had considered the bush AFK method but never tried it. I've been wondering what other people might do so this is really cool.

[@fanb0ynate]

There’s always a bush around, or a nice closet or something. Better than nothing!! Some nights I can’t play, but at least I can still get in some time now and then!

[@ZeeroDubs]

I play super slowly and tactically as well. This sort of video perfectly encapsulates how I enjoy Tarkov. For me tarkov is almost a role play experience. To me there is nothing more invigorating and rewarding in a video game than slowly and systematically outplaying a squad in EFT, despite knowing that I am mechanically mid at best.

[@fanb0ynate]

I might use this comment in the next video. This is an excellent summary of exactly what’s happening here 😂😂. Thank you for your kind words!

Much appreciated sir, trust me I won’t change cuz it’s already been like 6 wipes and I’m still the same guy 😂. I’m in woods right now, I’ll see what I can do!

[@bhante1345]

I created a Discord some time ago and invited the general public to join in hopes of creating a little Tarkov crew. Eventually I had a small tight nit group, which was nice. All experienced FPS used to PC gaming with a mouse and keyboard. One day, a new guy came along. He just built his first PC, and his first game on a mouse and keyboard was Tarkov. We all felt a collective sense of dread and pity for him, we felt his pain on a level that horrified us all. In the end, it all worked out, now he's a recovering addict like the rest of us.

[@fanb0ynate]

I call this, Tarkov: A Love Story. It is inspiring!

[@docstevenamp]

Absolutely loved the video! Your blend of tactical wisdom and "dad AFK moments" is the content I never knew I needed. It's like Navy SEAL meets Mr. Mom, and it's brilliant. Keep schooling us on how to be a Tarkov pro while juggling real-life responsibilities. Can't wait for the next episode where you teach us how to snipe enemies while making a PB&J sandwich for the kids. Keep it up!

[@kvrtman_]

Man, your commentary is so relatable. I'm a total rookie, it's my 1st wipe - lvl 10. Just played a few raids solo, other ones were with high lvl friends so those weren't really helpful except I could get rid of gear fear and learned a few things about maps and game mechanics. I felt exactly like during my solo raids - with the exception I'm killing scavs on Woods and Customs.

[@fanb0ynate]

Some days I play and it’s like a business transaction - get this done, take out anyone who dares stop me, gtfo…but am I really having fun? Nah man, when I play like this and I’ve got nothing but shit ammo, a scav vest, and a bolt-action rifle…those are the moments!

[@Hendur]

Just a little tip for your movement, when you stop sprinting right before the green bar turns red, it will regenerate your stamina much faster and I think it even won't cost as much hydration but that might just be my imagination / PTSD from other games with similar mechanics. The little red area is basically meant to be your last breath when running into cover, while under fire or something. Just wanting to let you know in case you didn't already, nice video tho buddy, keep it up!

[@fanb0ynate]

I’ll have to add this to my next vid. That’s one tip I didn’t know after 4 years of playing! Thanks for the kind words

[@vyeener1440]

@@fanb0ynateAlso, if you have to use that last little bit of stamina, don’t press your sprint key before it replenishes back to green. That’s how you get fatigue to the best of my knowledge.

[@fanb0ynate]

@vyeener1440 yep!! very good tip. Somebody else mentioned that a week ago here in the comments. I think we can confirm - you’re right. I didn’t know that until you guys taught me, I’ll include as a tip in the coming videos. Thank you!

[@Wurschthaut270384]

Great great video! I'm a Dad myself, and I have only a few hours a week to play. So I tend to play like you, very cautious, maximizing game time and protecting my gear.

[@fanb0ynate]

Glad you enjoyed! I’ll have to remember to mention the hotkeys while making my next commentary.

[@behising5193]

I would love to see more of your solo action, teamplay is pretty individual, its also easier over all once you and your mate get used to each other. Solo play is where you really get into the game. No talking, no other ppl, just you, your weapon and random footsteps. Pls give us more of that

[@fanb0ynate]

No problem, solo play is definitely on the menu. This is a ton of great feedback so will definitely continue this series.

[@BlaziinAcez]

Yes please do !!

[@McFly94]

Dude this is hilarious. And quite informative. You’re a man after me my own heart. I showed this video to my wife, starting at the point where you had to leave to deal with your kid. She ended watching the whole thing with me! She was literally feeling the anxiety that one feels playing this game. I then proceeded to explain in detail how the game works to her. Now she understands why I just want to go to my shed and kill some scavs after I put the little man down for sleep. There’s nothing like blasting someone in the face and taking all their belongings to decompress for the evening. She no longer see me as a hermit hiding from my problems in the shed, but a hero, killing for the greater good of my rubel account and inventory screen. Thank you sir. Also it was quite impressive how you articulated the emotions and psychology of this game. Excited for more videos.

[@fanb0ynate]

Dude this comment really takes the cake 😂. Thank you for sharing! Every time I think there will never be a better comment, someone else comes and out-does the last one 😂. Any way to help the wife understand why we need our decompression time! That’s so fascinating the anxiety transferred over so well. I really do need to make more of these.

[@ciaputchigaming8354]

Little side note about extracting. If you can't make it for any reason to extract. Just dump your gear. If you got it on you and the timer ends, you lose everything. But if you dump it (if you insured it) you will get it back.

[@fanb0ynate]

[@benallmon5613]

On my 2nd wipe. My duo rage quit this wipe for some reason, he was playing with another guy we trio with sometimes and was level 25 and messaged me one night that he quit, so I'm solo this wipe. Also a Dad of a 2 year old, a 4 month old, and a 10 year old. Last wipe I was a scav main mostly because I had trouble balancing playing vs being a Dad. I've been playing way more PMC this wipe so im making progress. Level 21 this wipe, more PMC kills than last wipe already, and having a ton of fun. I'm consistently taking out duos, winning fights and have less fear of losing fights. Gear Fear was never an issue with me, the psychology of losing fights was worse for me and I feel no one talks about this. Everyone just says "oh it's gear fear, you'll get over it" but it's not that. I hate losing, like all people do, and that is what got me a ton last wipe. 61% survival rate so I'm winning more than losing but great video man. I love shoreline and love hearing your commentary. I'd say more solo play than group play would be preferable. There are tons of group play videos out there. Subbed!

[@fanb0ynate]

Thanks for sharing your journey brother. I’m so glad there are people like you who can relate. That’s really it tho, I just don’t want to lose and get sent back to the lobby. I’ll be sure to schedule plenty of time for solo, you’re not the only one asking for more of this. Appreciate the feedback!

[@Tom-no4jm]

As a father myself, and someone who is in love with this game, I do find it daunting to start even quick loot runs. I just dont have alot of time to grind quests or even rubles so each raid is a little bit more stressful because each death is kind of a big set back. Hearing how you play and seem to be feeling the same way really makes me want to just keep playing and enjoy it. Thank you

[@fanb0ynate]

Yessir!! We are one in the same, keep playing and stay on the path. Showing up as a dad is most important, but we can also be gamers too.

[@BlaziinAcez]

Yes sir, this is the feeling I get when wanting to play. Like do I even have time before I'm needed or a kid wakes up and needs me etc so i just load game do some offline raid to get warmed up and then don't even get to play a live raid.. sucks I want to so bad just play for a few hours !!

I only play solo and am very patient. To see content of someone playing like this, but also explaining their thought process is amazing for me. I want to become better but I’m under similar restrictions and much of the content is focused on being able to hardcore it. This video was unique and fresh. Thank you for the hard work putting it together. I thought the editing was very well done and enjoyable. Good script as far as the overall progress of what was happening. Great work!

[@fanb0ynate]

Appreciate you! It really came together on its own. I was very lucky how the entire raid progressed. Great flow for the kind of video I wanted to create!

[@brandonho6174]

This is great and very relatable, streamers nowadays are kids on steroids with crazy gameplay, almost feels like they play a different game, this however does feel like it captures the real average tarkov raid and how it was intended to be played by normal people, great work 👌

I hope you keep up the solo casual player content. Great job!

I really liked the video. It's my 5th wipe and I still feel like an absolute beginner, so it's nice to see people describing that they too get very nervous at times. Watching many veteran streamers makes you think that something is wrong with you for being timid when you see them running and jumping about as a solo.

[@fanb0ynate]

Thanks for the compliments! I watch those veteran streamers and I wonder where they got lost. Grinding strength and stam so they can run a lil bit further and jump a lil higher doesn’t appeal to me. Finding new ways to play the game so you never lose that loving feeling - there’s ur 1000 IQ play 😉

Totally understand. I stopped playing about halfway through the last wipe, but I think that was more because it was like my 6th one 😂😂. I played some other stuff for a while and once I decided to start streaming/creating the love for Tarkov was back. Sometimes I gotta put it down and play something else, other times I just need to explore different play styles and avenues to the game to keep it fresh.

Much appreciated!

[@saulgoodblood]

Enjoyed this video. Completely different to everything else on YT.

[@fanb0ynate]

Much appreciated! I will do my best to replicate and put twists in when I can to keep it exciting. Sounds like this is a good formula!

[@Disis960]

I’m already ready for the next vid man. Very informative, this is my 8th or 9th wipe with right around 400hrs total played. I prefer a more laid back non aggressive play style such as sniping but my crew doesn’t. They’re all full auto guns a blazing heathens lol we typically get clapped by chads but we’re just having fun and tasking usually. I really like the break down and commentary. I like understanding and knowing why a player chose this move or positions. Helps me on the offense and defensive side of fights. I have a hard time trusting my instincts in whether to push, wrap around or just back off because i have a disadvantage. Definitely gonna try to remember some of the key points you mentioned in the video. I’ve never thought to drop my kit if I can’t exfil before lol something as small as that makes me rethink what I’ve been doing my whole play time in tark lol I just subbed and if I can I’ll try to catch a twitch stream of yours.

[@fanb0ynate]

Thanks so much brother. And thanks for sharing your own play style too, that’s good to hear I’m not the only one! Thanks for tuning in!

[@kumquatcob8031]

Hey, just made the time to watch this vid. Not sure if you remember but my name was chickentendy in your twitch chat. I love that you left in you having to leave mid raid because someone woke up 😂

[@fanb0ynate]

Of course I remember you chicken tendy!! AKA Twitch sub number 50! I would never forget! Thanks for tuning in brother. That was a fun fight we had on streets, hopefully see you again soon!

[@boevahkin]

Had to sub for the fellow tarkov dad got lucky in that afk spot too! So many times I've come back dead 😂

[@fanb0ynate]

Dude I couldn’t believe I was still alive when I walked back down the stairs 😂

[@iamsymbiot]

The patience holy crap

[@fanb0ynate]

😂😂 yeah….I was getting off after that. Usually I’m rewarded with the sound of rain and death by player scav for having that much patience. This one circumstance happened to pay off!

[@JUANORQUIO]

Bravo 👏🏻! That’s Incredibly Cool! Cheers!🥂❤️✨

Awesome, thank you! More to come soon, had to make a few fixes regarding recording software. The footage I have captured I’ll still use for a short opinion video on meta weapons.

Loved this vid keep it up dude! I like the analysis

[@fanb0ynate]

Glad you enjoyed it! I will def keep making them

[@larswalther1902]

Awesome video, instant sub. I love the calm voiceover giving insight into all the little details of your solo play. One question though, as a noob in my first wipe, how the F are you guys seeing people? I've been grinding the same 2 maps (woods and customs) the whole time, and I think I've got a pretty good handle on where people are likely to be traveling, but I still will not see people until they come brush my teeth with their barrel. Do I need a bigger monitor? Am I just blind? Lol

[@fanb0ynate]

No you’re not blind at all. I’ll sit and wait in a spot for a while, get up feeling pretty secure and then boom I run into someone point blank as I hit the next tree line. In my experience, woods is a difficult map to set up on a spawn because of the high volume of spawns. Customs is kind of similar but mainly because the wide variety of tasks that take players virtually everywhere on the map. I don’t go to a lot of locations on this video, but if I wasn’t AFK forever it would’ve been completely different. I would’ve sat on top of the concrete platform between resort and power station, could see someone, could not all raid lol. Also, if I spawned south I would’ve gone to the pier and tried to find a shot on someone while looking out the windows. When sniping, always bring your sidearm for those close quarter encounters!

[@larswalther1902]

@@fanb0ynate Good to know lol. Any recommendations for what map to learn next? I've got quests on Shoreline but have only been able to complete one of them so far in a night raid, I've tried 6 Shoreline day raids and someone either sitting in a bush or sitting on a perch somewhere invariably sees me and snipes me, so I've abandoned shoreline for now, though the other maps almost looks even more difficult when I watch videos of them haha. Cheers for the info, can't wait for another video!

[@fanb0ynate]

Shoreline would be the natural progression since you’ll start to collect tasks on that map next. I actually learned shoreline first before customs lol. A good tip is to use the power lines to help orient yourself when out in the open areas. Find a good map of shoreline online that shows them. I would definitely avoid the resort in the beginning. A lot of experienced players run Shoreline over and over and farm resort.

[@user936]

19:55 and this is why I carry two smoke grenades ☁😃☁

[@fanb0ynate]

If they can make the smoke mechanic viable, all you should need is one and this would be a great strat

[@user936]

@@fanb0ynate they increased the smoke size back in April by 30% I think they are pretty good myself. No one expects The Cloud 😁

[@MrRoyalbeers]

I once had a standoff for 10 minutes at resort. Turned out it was sanitar and I had to shoot him full of holes while he was running away when I finally confronted him. I just sat almost motionless in one of the small rooms the entire time.

[@fanb0ynate]

I do this all the time. Heart beating, palms sweating, ears straining for the slightest noise. Was it rain? Was it a footstep?

[@MrRoyalbeers]

He was turning. He had his guards which I had killed thinking it was pmcs. I knew he was just a couple of rooms away and I thought he was experiencing the same as me lol@@fanb0ynate

Cool narrative style man.

[@fanb0ynate]

Thanks! Been taking a small break lately but will be coming out with a few more vids. I have one out there.

[@user936]

Audio is both Life and Death in Tarkov - both the Harlequin and the Jester.

[@cornelius2993]

So you use one of these (ingame) headphones? I tried them several times and I can't find an reason to use them. With one every noise I make (walking etc.) is so amplified that I can't hear anything else. Or with another headset, sounds from scavs/other players are so amplified that they sound like they are next/behind me, though they're a floor above me. Totally confusing. Another headphone I tried (xcel I think), it's like the whole volume is only turned down. Ended up never using a headphone and much sneaking around...

[@SlurpyG]

As an expectant father i look forward to dad tarkov. Heres my sub and such

[@fanb0ynate]

Good man…See you in raid!

[@newton11223]

Good stuff bro. I'm a gamer with limiting as well and I like watching content I can relate to. Liked and subbed, keep it up!

[@fanb0ynate]

Thank you sir, it is much appreciated. I totally relate, I’m as much a viewer as a player and creator. It’s a nice balance.

Love this❤ i have 5 kids and only can olay a brief time at night sometimes. I solo cauae i dont have time to play with others either and playing solo can get to me a lot especially not playing in 6months either haha. But I do want to get back to tarkov so bad !

[@fanb0ynate]

Tarkov will be here when you get back…and I’ll still be making these vids 😂. Sheesh 5 kids, you sound like a patient man!

[@BlaziinAcez]

Hahaha I try to be as patient as can! I love this love and want to play more of it !! Just gotta get that courage or something back to play it !!

[@sc0ner783]

I seriously hope the pending karma system works and encourages USECs and BEARs to team up and fight the other side. It would make solo play such an easier and different game to master

Da! I couldn’t agree more ;)

[@israelhoffman8192]

Loving this wipe so far, haven't run into one hacker so far as I can tell, I still die constantly, but I feel like there was something I could have done better, some way to improve, an actual reason to try again.

[@fanb0ynate]

I’ve had the same experience! I’ve actually had only one or two hackers in the last 2 years because I don’t play at peak times or in great volume in general. I know that’s not what most people like, and I sure miss sitting down for hours and hours myself….However, these gaming intervals provide waaaay less hacking, so at least there’s a positive to having less time to play!

[@MrLaedu]

Great style of Video

[@fanb0ynate]

Thank you!

[@DeterminedPixel]

Fellow Tarkov citizen and father here, also trying my hand at content creation. It's good to know some of my fellow operators also find themselves having to hide in a bush every so often to keep the homestead in dreamland. Really enjoyed the video. if I may ask, are you running in 1440? And what are your graphics settings?? I'm running in 1080 for now until i can afford a monitor upgrade and my trees and foliage never look that hood lmao

[@fanb0ynate]

Homestead in dreamland, now that’s a quote 😂. your gonna need that excellent vocab for your video scripts!! I copied the settings from another streamer who is an excellent editor and Tarkov YT genius. He goes by 2Lew. His discord has a Settings post at the top of the tabs discord.gg/8gze9N4n - I’m in 1080p using OBS to record. Be careful to set your frame rate to consistently 60 fps and don’t use recording software with VFR or your audio will desync in Adobe and Da Vinci. Join my discord and we can chat about it, just made a section for this just now lol. I would love to post more about my editing journey here, but don’t want to draw the wrong audience. I would love to swap ideas and chat about it cuz it’s fascinating learning all the ins and outs.

[@DeterminedPixel]

@@fanb0ynate Absolutely! Will do, as soon as i get outta work 😂 cheers, man! Appreciate the tips. Yeah the audio and video did NOT align in one of my last tarkov videos. Still learning the ins and outs of VEGAS myself. It's been a learning curve haha

[@fanb0ynate]

Yep it will desync in Vegas as well. It’s all dependent on what software your using to record. Lmk ur recording software in the discord and we’ll continue from there!
