YT Desmond is surprisingly more bearable than Twitch Desmond. I find it hard to watch him on stream because every time I tune in he is complaining about cheaters. He puts down the hammer though so I respect that.
Slight PK related tip, prepop Goldenstars rather than Vaseline because Goldenstar levels your metabolism while Vaseline doesn’t. Also Goldenstars have 10 uses but you should only use 9 out of the 10 that way with your 1/10 Goldenstars you can use those to craft propitals in your hideout for the entirety of the wipe! Enjoy the wipe gamers
I watched this entire video. So many good things to think about and apply and work on. Sincerely thanks. Your voice and tone even in a mega gunfight never changes, you are unshakable.
To be honest i think i would never expect guide from Desmond except maybe how to control recoil or how to ferrari pick somethink like that but ma man 1 hours guide for literally everythink is crazy i watched whole thing and it change my approach for certain things that i was negative about im glad that im watching you for long time and can see this guide as one of your subscribers thanks for beeing here with us and thanks for really good quality content and insane PVP hope you will hit one day 100k wish you luck. Love ya
Desmond is a demon at tarkov and a professor at teaching it to others. The best of both worlds. You can’t not like this guy. Great video man as always🤝🏽🫡
He always posts those pvp clips so i didnt know how great of a teacher he is. Fucking insane knowledge right here. Hes the type of teacher everyone shuts up and fucking listens to lol.
Best video out there for new comers and already seasoned players. Great video overall, no useless fat just straight to the point and debunking myths along the way like "don't play Q/E" tips.
NGL your teaching videos are really nice and quality i notice you post a lot of highlights but when you do post those guide like videos they are very in depth and actually teach new things unlike the people who just spam the same tips over and over
@@DesmondPilak just review your own clips and talk your way through your thought process and say what the other guys did wrong. thats one of the best ways ive gotten better and i taught my friend that way.
Recent change of rogue ai makes USEC 10x easier on lighthouse. If you don't know rogues don't agro usec unless you get too close and even then just the AI you got too close to will agro not the whole camp. You can literally walk in the front between the 2 gunners and do your quest. You can run up on the roofs and they won't get off the gun.
So many amazing bits of information here from one of the best Tarkov players I have ever watched! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, so many things that may seem small to you were huge for me. Much appreciated!
great vid desmond, i think you made a good point about using continuous for aiming instead of press. ive been using press since i bought the game, and i have "hold breath" set to "release" so i can aim and hold breath with one input. i thought this was genius at first but it only works if i stop moving before i aim lol. think i might switch to continuous and at least give it a try
I learned a ton from this video, sadly I’ve have spent more then twice the time waiting in queues then playing game, sometimes waiting over 10 minutes for a game..
@@snap1327 For sure more confident in my abilities to win pvp. Major changes to the core mechanics of the game make a huge difference. I started patch 11.7 and I thought I was good at the game pvp wise (b4 inertia), when inertia was introduced I had to basically re-learn the games movement lmao. Also try to get rid of gear fear as quick as you can, since having better guns, ammo and armor *always* makes your odds of survival higher.
If you play on toggle aim, you can get your hold breath set to right mouse release so if you aren't in motion it holds your breath so you don't have to hit Alt key(or whatever bind you have) to hold breath.
Yeah but, then you have no control. I hate it. I run my lean on forward/back on mouse, so I have my hold breath on Q. Works everytime and I don't have it wasting my breath time everytime I want to pull up my gun.
I will say, there are like 2 spawns on lighthouse where you being a BEAR cuts off your ability to push inward and you're basically forced into early PVP with another spawn. Not a big deal for kitted raids but if I'm tryna farm rogues or do some budget tasking it was annoying. I picked usec for the first time this wipe and it has made lighthouse so much less painful
Tarkov players are impressive to me. I love looter shooters and pvp but the quests in tarkov makes the game terrible. The fact my stash starts out microscopic and I have to spend hours collecting random items and grinding out brain dead quests that seem to love to force players to camp is so boring. I enjoy pvping but the fact tarkov basically forces you to quest and grind up skills to have a chance is so painful and boring. How do you guys actually have fun doing this cause I love the pvp in Tarkov and the extraction looter shooter aspect but the questing and money grinding is to annoying for it to be worth it.
The questing is the only thing making this somewhat bearable lol Once ppl have finished their quests everybody just stops moving and camps Timmies 😂 Which is why everybody hates latewipe: cuz everybody is just sitting still waiting for ppl to walk into their traps. As long as ppl have quests to do they HAVE to move across the map, which creates organic encounters instead of set-up deathtraps in chokepoints.
@@Schimml0rd Idk it’s so much more fun just running around w keying and pvping instead of sitting still camping or mindlessly doing quests. Also I noticed way more people rat early wipe for quests since they are more about losing their kit and also need specific kills like sniper kills so they just sit and rat.
Insuring everything solo might not be the play this wipe. Scavs will loot your gear and now if a scav have your gear and is alive at the end of the raid you don't get your insurance back.
EDUCATIONAL DESMOND CONTENT HOLY BLESSED

11:25 man they really need to make us be able to use firing range while matchmaking, id be at the range all the time
agree

I love how everybody wants Desmond too get the reach and respect he deserves, man deserves a bigger audience

thumbs up for these nades 39:00
ive dropped a few at my feet and was always deathly afraid of throwing nades wrong, really appreciate this tip

Seriously, its crazy how well he explains what hes doing / thinking when making plays, its unmatched really

thats the hard part, there is only so many mechanics in the game, so its hard to find something worth talking about without just repeating stuff
@@DesmondPilak just review your own clips and talk your way through your thought process and say what the other guys did wrong. thats one of the best ways ive gotten better and i taught my friend that way.
I’ve seen some beasts try to do PvP tutorials and this one is by far the best. A lot of nuanced strats. Thanks man.
Desmond would you ever review your viewers gameplay and give pointers on how to improve, and pointing out their mistakes in a clip/video?
potentially later in wipe, wont have time to rn
@DesmondPilak thanks Desmond. Can't wait to see it. Have a great day bro!

Thank you so much for taking all the time time to make this and sharing your thousands of hours of game knowledge Des!
So many amazing bits of information here from one of the best Tarkov players I have ever watched! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, so many things that may seem small to you were huge for me. Much appreciated!
I'd love a day 1 wipe compilation or first raid video, I enjoy seeing how goated players experience the first day of wipe.
This was a great refresher for me coming back after months off from the game, also learned a ton!
Solid video. Solid tips. No bullshit. No overselling. Great work Desmond.
Thanks for this video man. Always try to watch your streams to see if I can pick up on stuff from watching. This helps a lot!

Honestly great video, insane amount of info
I have 2k hours in this game but if Desmond whips out an educational content video I shut my ass and watch.
Is your ass not normally shut?
Ahh just like me, we are now out of the tutorial. I think?
Do you use a plug for that?
-asking for a friend
2k? So you're finally starting to know how to play.
@BrothersByBud yup, i have 5k and still learning 😅
Great video from one of the best.
One of the badass Takov player
Hell yeah 😊
The best information there is! Period!
The guide is amazing, the CC auto-translation to spanish is also very good, thanks for this! It will be my second wipe and info is super usefull
solo player here. This knowledge before the wipe will help me early. Thanks!!!!!!
I learned a ton from this video, sadly I’ve have spent more then twice the time waiting in queues then playing game, sometimes waiting over 10 minutes for a game..
Pilak handing down the Tarkovian scriptures from the mountaintop
Bro, I now know how to fight in tight corners, I always wondered, thank you!
continuous Q/E just blew my mind. Absolute game changer!
That's the default binding tho?
The difference between video Desmond and stream Desmond is so funny😭😭😂
Please make more guide videos, your viewpoints are very enlightening, thanks.
I recommend you to all my friends who are just getting into the game. Nice vid!
this is my first wipe, the video was goated ❤
Desmond with an educational banger! Love it
Damn son! That sweet movement. Thx for the tips.
I have little over 3000 hours in the game and learned alott about angles and movement that I have not even thought about.
Hey man, I’ve got 1000 hours, just curious, after 3000 do you feel a lot more comfortable and confident with PvP? Can you see you’ve improved

THIS IS WHY I ONLY WATCH YOU!!! You give the content we need while learning your autopiloted movement demon mechanics 🤣🤣🙌🏽
Knew most of the tricks, but revising is never bad thing, cya all tomorrow. DAY W IS COMING
BEST VIDEO ON TARKOV 🤙
More Desmond guides, what a blessed day
desmond making guides i’m gonna explode 💥
Insane guide, thank you very much. Taught me a lot.
Awsome thumbnail man.
Professor Desmond clocking in
First time im watching a desmond video. When he went to the shooting range I got PTSD from his aim
Great content man 👍
If you play on toggle aim, you can get your hold breath set to right mouse release so if you aren't in motion it holds your breath so you don't have to hit Alt key(or whatever bind you have) to hold breath.
Yeah but, then you have no control. I hate it. I run my lean on forward/back on mouse, so I have my hold breath on Q. Works everytime and I don't have it wasting my breath time everytime I want to pull up my gun.
@@JordanHarrisThat definitely sounds efficient.
@@matthewdaugherty8639 it's really nice being able to lean freely and have full use of wasd

Desmond with the good content, after 2000 hours I'm still dogshit and needed every bit of this 😂
Pro tip: Liking and commenting on desmond videos increases your KD by 10
love you DESMONDPILAK
Great stuff!
Excellent video! Thank you very much👍
valuable content!
releasing guide day before new patch notes
thats some next level brain activity
level 77 is fucking crazy, good shit this wipe bro
What is your sensitivity to be able to 180 while running up a stairwell?!! Goodness, I think I can turn 90 if I throw my mouse across the room
Tip for this guide, you need to play this game 24/7
This guy would liquify me 11 times out of 10
Where's the tips for handling/detecting cheaters?
I really think WASD movement keys would've helped truly visualize how to do it. Educational asf though, TY
and the biggest tip of all of em is dont sweat your deaths and get tilted itll just make the beginning of wipe worse
52:54 Came for some wipe tips as a 3k andy......stayed for the blatant call out, I lowkey suck when the beams in my face XD.
tbh I never considered swapping inverting lean. Seems wonky to get used to but kind of worth. Might give it a shot.
finally some good damn advice
W key man W knowledge man
Desmond farming 🎉
Is my phone tweaking, or is the audio scuffed? *I refreshed and it's fixed*
Based Desmond educational video, nice
25:00 why didn’t u mention u can change shoulder now?
Not sure why he didn't either
goat man
Blessmond!
W video bro
Pre popping meds is gonna come to an abrupt end soon, BSG is gonna throw that addiction mechanic in supposedly.
Thank you.

go play something else then
Thanks! Anything specific you're looking forward to using in the new wipe?
thanks so much
No gen and Desmond should collab
I like aim on press because i tend to tense my hand too much on games like these. On cod like games i definetly prefer holding though.
Insuring everything solo might not be the play this wipe. Scavs will loot your gear and now if a scav have your gear and is alive at the end of the raid you don't get your insurance back.
Seems Tarkov is all run and gun, rather than the slow paced tactical simulation I was told it was.
You can use optics and play more slowly.
The vast majority of the player base stops moving the instant they hear you lol
what flashlight do you prefer using? i find every flashlight to be too bright but your one looks good
you absolute beauty !
Newish player here if anyone wants to squad. This will be my 3rd wipe, level 20 due to money and map issues lol
grenade mechanic is huge
12k hours play time is INSANE 💀 but great video!
Based.
Fire
tnx for video
What about left-hands with shoulder swapping? Do the same general rules apply as with right-hands, or should it be left as a last resort?
You can buy 30 rounders at lvl 1 peacekeeper
Step one dont get bored
Yo Desmond, would you use the swap shoulder mechanic for anything? or would you just always just try to get rights?
Im also insane withthe nades i knew all that
No mention of swapping to left hand peek? Seems like you just play like its not a thing after 10k hours without lol.
18:05 I like having it on toggle bcause then I have hold breath on release.
