if you're new to tarkov the best tip i can give is play the netcode game, if you're camped out in a room and a chad wants to come in and get you, you want to run out of that room pre firing at him or else he will get you. one time i was camped out in a room with my little ak74 and this duo trapped me and lobbed a nade in the room so i ran out and basically bum rushed em pre firing and dropped them both, got a sweet airframe and blackjack from that raid. my best kills were when i pushed out and became the aggressor. and don't be afraid to spend your ammo, that's what you bought it for.

[@makemeajmod]

Best tip is stick to one or two maps. Don't worry about quests too much just pick a map and run stashes with a pistol and 3 mags so you don't get tagged and cursed. This allows you to know the starting spawns and the timing of the map. IE. At around what time in the raid you hear gunfights which portion of the map it's in etcetera. Once you start getting loot out use it immediately don't save anything it's going to be lost eventually. Getting lvl 15 as a steady pace is your best bet. Don't stress the quest and don't be afraid to run around naked noone really cares about your survival rate like at all we aren't landmark

[@Hawokki]

Newbie early wipe tip. Check lumbermill on woods for Compass. The Woodshed with the trucks parked out front. North side of the Lumbermill. The lockers and the shelf ive found it multiple times. As soon as you find it drag into your Spec slot by your pockets. Even after death you dont lose it. Hover over it and press Number 4-0 Just like you are binding meds. You get a compass pretty early. Its a must have in the specialist slot on woods. First thing when you get in a raid Double tap O. Tells you your extracts. The extracts are on the opposite side of the map. So woods if its outskirts you spawned on the right side of the map. Could be north east side or south east side. If the you remember the time you dropped in. The sun rises in the east sets in the west. Double O says Outskirts extract and you dropped at 6pm. The sun is in the west. So run South west toward the extract till you find your bearings.

Such a good tip to set small goals for raids. Yesterday I went into a raid on Woods to get my Scav kills for a quest and I ended up spawning near Emercom so I went there, got my scav kills and got lucky and found a Salewa that I needed for a quest and got some nice loot from Emercom (including items I was going to need for future quests), and I was near the crashed airplane to go grab the Jaeger letter and I though about going to do that since I was close but I used my better judgement and quit while I was ahead, and instead went straight to extract and got out with all my gear and juicy loot. Could have went to the Jaeger spot but you know what, it's just as easy enough to start a new raid, go in there with as little equipment as possible, run and grab the letter and extract as quickly as possible.

[@theFirstAidKit]

One of the biggest tips I have is that it's usually really easy to make money in this game. If you stick to a rule that you should be able to afford 10 similar kits always when going into the raid, you'll pretty much never run out of money. You might run shitty gear, but by knowing that you avoid PvP and player hotspots. Run scavs to gain more free loot. Gear in your stash is there to help you progress and gain more gear. If you have gear fear and don't like to run expensive kits you might have found and run budget instead, the worst thing that can happen if you run the best gear is that you lose it and are back in your comfort zone running budget gear again.

I'm hearing a lot of people saying that this wipe is particularly hard, I think I got lucky coming from games like dayz/arma gear fear was gone by the 3rd day but at the same time I'm having to pick and choose the things I unlearn from those games (for example no ads in arma is pretty much a death sentence in any engagement and usually after getting shot at going prone increases your survival exponentially but in tarkov it feels like it's either super selective or straight up the other way around). Getting popped from nowhere while annoying is kinda just how it goes sometimes but I'm finding it way worse playing scav because it is my money maker so if some player scav decides they like my backpack better and just pops me so they can take it waiting out the timer just sucks

[@BrassBashers]

6:59 SCAV runs should have a 5 minute cooldown if you are under lvl10, it would make more people be able to learn the game without getting smashed right from the start. Also the SCAV runs are insane this wipe, 10-20 minute load times and sometime it puts you into the server 5 minutes into the game when most PMCs are still alive. When I started I did mostly SCAV runs and just wouldn't play the game during cooldown, I'd go play something else/smoke a cig/whatever. That gets boring rather quickly though.

Spawn into streets and get in a load fight within the first few minutes and then scav army will sprint at you so fast

[@BrassBashers]

@@Gibbon100 that's how I got many quest items my first wipe, just not the big ones. You really have to race people to certain spots for stuff early wipe, dumb stuff like Salewas and USBs. Last wipe I found almost all of my USBs in file cabinets as a SCAV, one in Factory as a PMC and most of the rest on Customs. I had decent SCAN rep, it got up to 2.8 idk if that matters in the type of loot you pick up in certain places.

[@Aquila0311ForLife]

Honestly just started playing and been enjoying, but these tips deff are helpful and interesting! Much appreciated!

[@FlorianBased]

I had a 70% Survival Rate in my first 20 or so Raids because I went on a dozen practice Raids on Customs, learned the map and got used to Scav behavior. And I also played like a Rat, being very careful, only moving when there is a gunfight happpening elsewhere etc. That was kinda cool, like a horror game almost but for the Quests I needed to start killing players so I went into Factory with a pistol and had to learn PvP the hard way. Now my SR is like 30 percent but I'm walking around much more confidently and I'm having more fun because of it. Also if you're new like me and find yourself frozen in fear in some corner or some bush, think about how much money you could get on a rat run in those 10 minutes you're sitting around and then realize it's better to die than to sit around. In my experience a loot run can finance you at least 2 beginner loadouts and 4x the Insurance on them, since almost no one is gonna steal your crappy early game stuff beyond week 2 of the wipe.

[@leonidas231]

just started playing like 2 days ago, glad to know im not the only one confused by audio

[@raged248]

this is quite literally the best advice for new players. TY pest for informing the timmys . they will get to know the game shortly

[@twentydixoncider7443]

I agree having objectives is one of the really important things, going into raid with no idea what you wanna do is a good way to get shot lol

[@DatInnocentGuy]

here's a useful tip for everyone. In the controls setting turn the console from single tap to double tap that way when you're looting and panic if you get shot at you don't end up opening console and wasting time. 1 too many deaths from that.

[@ShyMun]

My brother in arms on Tarkov always says "The loot is not in the map, the loot is in the people!!"

[@meYogii_]

This simple facts sounds so incredibly useful when ur new at the game, like I am. Need to remember this! Thank u for sharing ur thoughts!

[@AnFearCiuin]

"Set little basic objectives and build up to doing more hardcore shit." Thats really all the advice you need in life. Thanks Dad!

[@ShadowKstr]

New player to EFT. Your explanation and how you put things together, is just the best. You are the distillate info from 5-8 different videos. New Subscriber for life.

[@ZeeroDubs]

Watching Pest not being able to tell where people are by audio queues.... welcome to my Tarkov experience for the past 4.5 years Pest 🤣

[@DKinger]

I got 2k PMC kills and max traders my first wipe; before you say im boasting, note that the biggest thing I ever learned to do was take everything from the mistakes you make into the next raid. Also recording my raids helped me realize what I did right vs what I did wrong. Now im 200 raids into my second wipe and I'm rocking a 65% S/R up 15% from last wipe. Never stop learning, that's how you get confident, and confidence in a good way is what makes you improve and become good if thats what you're seeking.

[@nickkolef9476]

What are some tips on how to get better at pvp? Can handle everything else fine, but the second I come across another PMC I fold faster than a losing poker hand. If I could win more fights the game would be 100% more fun. Using good ammo too just suck at fighting

[@DKinger]

@@nickkolef9476 You gotta accept that you're not the terminator first off and that you will lose fights, it's inevitable. Secondly id say you need to be spatial aware, have good aim, and know when to peak vs when to not, when to be aggressive vs passive, how to be confident in your abilities but not over-confident. Its easier said than done. What I did was make a huge bankroll and just burn money PVP'ing and learning, that way it didnt matter when I died, I just made another kit and went again. Late wipe Factory is also a lowkey labs with the kitted chads so theres great PVP there to practice for.

[@jackg2630]

Bro when he started talking about the little mouvement keys I literally learned like four new things in like 7 seconds

[@Nathan_Lennox]

Interchange as a Scav, loot North and South Superstores, TechLight, and Kiba, also PCs, profit with 0 risk, 100k minimum a run, 1mil+ if you know what you’re doing. Not mind-blowing but adds up quick if just getting loot out is tough for you. It’s also low risk as Interchange is the lowest pop map in game and almost always empty by Scav spawn time anyways.

[@AutoKorrect]

Considering that you spawn at the opposite end of the map from the extracts most of the time, just getting to extract is in itself really tough.

[@HR_PaperStacks]

i really dont think i got the basics down until at least 300 hours in

[@gordooce]

"Your gonna die, Your gonna die alot everyone dies" that has helped me alot in this game

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

12:17 "WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?!" getting Starship Troopers recruitment video vibes...

[@2bor4b95]

Best Tarkov advice I’ve heard from anyone else. Thank you so much

[@JoshuaHughesWisconsin]

“Loot piñata”, my favorite word from this video

[@scylentdeth3198]

“Don’t be surprised if you don’t survive more than 10 of your first 100 raids” Fortunately my first wipe went a little better for me than that but not much so trust what Pestily is saying because it’s rough at first and you’ve gotta learn to love that. You’ve gotta take bad raids and find a way to flip them into good learning opportunities. It’s the only way to survive the mental part of all the failure you WILL experience playing eft.

[@unknownG303]

High scav rep is OP. The ability to run almost infinite scavs with the reduced timer is MONEY!

[@Rex-qx2ko]

While I will likely never play the game myself, due to lack of interest in loot management and other aspects, you do a great job w your explanations and gameplay. Will keep watching

[@jaroslavsvaha6065]

Maybe Tarkov Arena would be your cup of tea then

[@StainsDZN]

i think a big tip should be to try and find some people to play with, just having one or two people with you helps SO much even if they know just as much as you

[@BNEGGY]

Im not even new too the game, i have 7k hours and yet pest still teaches me new things everyday! legend

[@creepyposting]

pestilliy i hope you know this but i sneezed at the same time at 10:07

[@ItsSimpul.]

I'm 2 minutes into this video,found you on recommended .Followed you and subbed to twitch. Funny and not cocky

[@addictedyounoob3164]

Intermediate tip from pestily: just learn all 2000+ items in the game and their market prices so you can decide whether you're looting at atleast 10k per inv square

[@WestwoodHenry]

number 2 is one of the best tips, i mean i know that certain ammo types have way better penetration but its still always a reflex to shoot the torso or head, but shooting the legs never crossed my mind in sticky situations XD

[@dbraska]

I’ve been playing for 3 wipes and I’m still at the stage of. “In this raid I’m going to survive and get to the extract” 😂

[@willnewell9242]

i got lucky during a scav raid at level 3 i found absolute juicers level 6 armor an ash 12 and a raid bag i was automatically good for quite awhile since i didnt have anything good unlocked lol

[@TheRealJohnMadden]

My issue with Tarkov is that I could never hear people. As soon as I turned off Binaural audio, I actually found that I was hearing people and getting the jump on them. I hope they fix the audio entirely where no matter headset or not, you still can have an advantage.

[@headhunter335]

I happened to stumble upon your video, let me just say it helped my dude. I'm a new Tarkov player (bought the game 36 days ago) and even if I already learnt the basics, you still provided valuable tips. Cheers mate

[@AllTheOthers]

0:52 rarely

[@Bawsack121]

Good tip for new players is also to start off in offline mode. That’s how I started and it 100% helped.

[@raynman6466]

Offline mode is a waste of time, you're not going to learn at the same speed as you will playing online.

[@DKinger]

@@raynman6466 Offline is good so dont discredit it. It's vital for learning maps for new players if they're too timid to go in as a PMC or can't scav in. It's most definitely not a waste of time.

[@Bawsack121]

What he said ^

[@Bean5prout]

Same with experienced players, start a session with hoard amounts of scavs and tagged and cursed best way to kinda practice getting pushed.

[@andrewlavoie6034]

@@Bean5prout Meh scavs won't shoot you before you see them so it's not that useful

[@weazyweems]

Highly appreciate the Video, im getting a PC next week and tarkov going 2 be the first game im gonna get and now i know imma scav my way to extraction points first with minimal looting. Ty and hopefully we See each other at some point in tarkov

[@Simon-cw3ll]

I'm curious, what is all that text at 15:43? I think if I heard correctly he said "That's my cheats". Am I wrong? If not, please explain.Thanks.

[@ColdBlunts]

"DONT BE SPRISED IF YOU DONT SURVIVE 10/100 RAIDS" was true asf i only extracted 15/50 runs so far but still having fun and learning

New to Tarkov. I saw you pick up so many things that I didn't even realize were lootable. That candy bar you grabbed near the end, I assumed it was some old-ass Russian brochure and never gave it them a second look.

[@jonathancorey54]

Good for u taking weekends for family I have 4 kids and there only that young once u gotta enjoy it keep up the great work pest role model to gamers and fathers everywhere 👍

[@bubonict9177]

I kinda enjoy that the game has information you just need to learn on your self

[@Senseislaughterhouse]

I've been having the most luck with a decked out glock for some reason this early wipe. Something about going in with low insurance makes me fearless.
