Today we're diving into Escape from Tarkov to answer the question - does the FLEA MARKET open everything up from here?
Here's how it feels as a casual player.

I started last wipe late, played solo for a few weeks and studied the game's mechanics extensively. I remember hiding in bushes every couple of minutes, ALT-tabbing and checking the map, taking things extremely slow.
I introduced a couple of my friends to the game, and I soon learned just how hard it was for the average player to grasp.
The first time I ever had "fun" in Tarkov was on Shoreline, I had both legs crippled and a minor bleed with no healing supplies by a scav, walked five minutes to that pier where the boat extract is, killed another two scavs and found a bandage. I then limped all the way to tunnel extract, groaning in pain the entire time, just wishing someone would end my suffering.
It took me thirty goddamn minutes to limp from one end of the map to the other, but getting out made me feel a sense of bitter euphoria that I've never felt before, going from nail biting stress to a feeling of triumph.
had similar experience with my buddy on epicenter, always check for painkillers in my backpack before the raid since then
@@ojiskeletonsama4232 By Epicenter do you mean Ground Zero?
Wait till the time you start killing people and engaging in pvp. Tarkov is one of the most intense games for me
@@uhuhuhv5407 I occasionally play like a chad now, running MPN-9 and blasting people with pure skill alone.
But I'm probably only slightly above average
yeah, tarkov is really slow
When he was looking at Old Gas I already knew what was going to happen.....no smoke at extracts is PAIN!
1:50 that map is australian, it shows south on top. Just so you don't get even more confused at dusk/dawn because that's what messed with my orientation on reserve and customs a whole lot
I have to say I do prefer the Australian map for reserve, Dome is the landmark I use to orient myself and when I'm looking at dome I'm usually oriented like the Australian map lmao
@@proomeetheeuus yeah just look at the dome and the big important buildings and heli are down below and the manhole is just a straight run to the right (from the opposite side to the dome)
Lol
you should turn on anisotropic filtering. that'll get rid of the horrible looking terrain textures with no performance impact
Thank you i was wondering why it looked so awful after the snow
@@TactiGamer you're welcome tacti, loving the content.
@@TactiGameris this your first PC game? I would be ashamed to even say that as a pc gamer.
@@andree1991 Wtf?
its not that bad
I like your content very very much, not a big noscope gigachad streamer, just a guy like me, with fears like me and a playstile like me. It is SO refreshing seeing you struggle and enjoy the tiny wins. I feel much more represented and can almost feel your thoughts and stresses in the situations. Keep it up man :) Love and Greetings from Germany!
advice for Casual players: don't play tarkov.
Nah I genuinely have quite a lot of fun playing casually
Not excactly but more or less the right massage. If you are a casual player just know you will die a lot since most players that you will encounter will be 500-5000h full geared chads. Except on ground zero pre lvl 21
I play solo with 50 fps and run kits that look good, but might not be meta and derive a lot of enjoyment out of the game, winning fights and enjoying the atmosphere and updates the game gets. Don't know what yall yappin about.
I play casually solo in woods. I have lots of fun with it, especially when playing with my more hardcore buds. Also, based pfp.
@@wooxygam3r147 I don't. I haven't managed to survive a PMC encounter in 3 months
Quick tip: repair your weapons! The lower the durability, the lower the accuracy and the weapon has a higher chance to jam. Always repair items before every raid, and look out for a weapon/ armor repair kit!
on top of that, ditch any automatic gun under 93 durability as that is the threshold for jamming in most cases
@@Timonator2 post level 15 maybe, but pre-that use what you got if it's good 🙃🔧
Leading on to Tip 2: try to keep that semi/full-auto bullet ratio to 50:50 - that is spend more time shooting semi; people use the Fun Switch as a crutch when they would have done better putting 3-4 well placed rounds down range 🎯 _more semi = less stoppages_
@@user936eh, pre 15 you can always just buy another aks-74u, pp-19 or mp5.
9mm smgs are really strong this wipe and they give you two from level 1.
laughs in ppsh :D @@Timonator2
@@Shadowdoctor117 most people don't have access to great ammo this wipe. That's what makes 9mm so good these days. 6.5 AP pens 30 and it's cheap from peacekeeper.
Escaping from Tarkov requires a lot of investment, but I think the less you play it, the most intense the gameplay is, you are always surprised by new situations. That is the true Tarkov.
sadly the less you play it the less fun it is, because most other people you meet ingame are addicts
@@Hosenbund1 the totality of players that killed me has "TTV" in their nickname and have bought the EOD edition... But these people don't feel anything about the game anymore (except for true fans), but the stress of being seen, tracked down, the adrenaline of combat are part of the game, even if some no-life is killing everyone (maybe cheatin', that's an other issue), so I think it takes some patience indeed, but when you win a raid after couple of failures, it's always more exciting to have overcome the danger
Requires no investment, you uninstall the game and boom, you have escaped.
@@canadiancombatwombatthe3rd782 Save so much time
True, I only play 10 minutes per year
Great video. Nice to see someone else having the same trials as me. See you in Tarkov!
Quick tip for items in general. If you don't want to hotkey them, instead of right-clicking for the menu, you can just double-click.
Love your real emotions and interest. Keep it coming :)
This was a great video for an absolute new player like myself. Started playing yesterday and my god is it stressful/terrifying…but so addictive! I tried a couple scav/PMC runs on ground zero. 1 successful scav and PMC extract so far. Currently lvl 3.
This video really showed that everyone is scared when playing I guess. You handled yourself so well in those gun fights. I have the gear fear currently as I don’t how to attach sights to my guns on which site can be used on what etc but that will come with time.
Giving you sub buddy👍
Keep it up man! It's a hard game, lots of things to get your head around. Watch some videos on traders lvl 1 gun builds to help you get back in quickly with some basic attachements :) use this wipe learn stuff like maps, extracts, gameplay etc and come off strong when next wipe comes!!
You find that with a little experience you can use their fear against them. People make poor choices when they're desperate lol.
In a few weeks you’ll realize the game is shit, ran by literal monkeys who love that their game is full of cheaters because it makes them $$. Anyone who says otherwise is a shill.
The stupidest thing in Tarkov is the lack of an ingame map that shows your extracts, forcing you to alt-tab to wiki to read the map, or learn it offline.
If you can’t afford a second monitor you shouldn’t be playing tarkov lol not trying to be an ass but it is true
@@stvnlee4869 Youre a huge ass. Use your phone lol.
@@stvnlee4869retarded comment, you don't even need a second monitor
@@stvnlee4869just so you know, this is such a shit take. A lot of people play these games on gaming laptops as we move around a lot and carrying a second screen around is not a good idea. Also if your daily driver isnt windows but rather hyprland or some other wayland based compositor, you wont even necessarily be able to use 2 screens as tiling window managers often struggle with that. Last point is, the game not implementing a map is on purpose, maps are very distinct and easily recognisable. If you cant understand where the shturmans camp is on woods, where the big red, dorms or construction site is on customs, what store is where in interchange or how to get to the pier from the destroyed town in shoreline, you either havent played the game long enough or your memory is lacking.
@@capataina5087 Not only do you need it for the map, you need to keep an eye on your teammates FOV lol
Same thing happened to me on Shoreline a year or two ago: my first time on it was as a Scav and I spawned in w/ a Labs key: got out too thankfully! I'm Level 14 (only unlocked the flea once which was last wipe) now so I gotta say it's nice to see someone else not absolutely cracked at Lv.40+ sharing the Tarkov Experience (I've also got Bad Rep Evidence to do lol)
Good video dude keep up the TactiTimmy Chronicles :D
to cut down on having to open the health and shortcuts you can set them to always show, it helped me a ton early on and I still play like that 600 hrs in
I love your audio editing skills! The score is awesome!!!!
I like how your game looks. Do you use post fx?
U can set ur heals for heavy and light bleeding on the same hotkey (press and release, i have it on 4+9(set 9 on release 4)) than u have only one key for two bleeds, makes it a little bit less stressy.
Interesting... and if memory serves... it will only use the one you need so no wasting healing supplies.
You can turn a setting to show your hotbar on the screen and your player's health its alot easier to see fast what u need to fix and what to press to heal or switch guns
Like the video man, I'm new to Tarkov (lvl 5) and keep dying in the raids and getting 0 exp lol, will get there eventually as I've been doing customs alot to master the map.
What's the gun loadout you are rocking? something I will try when I can as well, assuming I need lvl 15 for the market to get the stuff?
Safest path to extract when at the bad rep cabin go wide left across the street, behind new gas, around radio tower all the way to extract at end of map. Very rarely encounter anyone there after the first 5 min of a raid
that bunker you walked into to check if it was an extract is zb-011. you have to turn power on, and if the light is on above the inside door than you can take it. hit or miss extract tho just like old gas
I love the respawn map shown in this video? Where can I find it and are there ones for the other maps also?
As a new player:
Maps: id avoid the newer maps like Streets & Lighthouse as these are brutal for multiple reasons. Big open maps like Woods or Shoreline i feel is a lot more beginner friendly espcially if you avoid the pvp hotspots.
Loot: dont grab weapons parts or attachments at all (aka anything from a weapons box). Anything else usually has a higher value. Single slot items usually is worth more than multi slot. Food & meds become valuable once you unlock the fleemarket.
Scav: Never been easier to scav really. Load in to like Factory, walk away from the sound of gunfire & grab everything. Then extract & just klck the sell all button. Just the gear itself you spawn with is usually 100k & with a bot more you get 150-200k easy. Always save like Labs Keycards or med injectors for selling on flee later. Look at your scav before loading in & if you see a larger backpack consider loading to a larger map like woods for optimal hoarding. Scavs tend to spawn in just when the pmcs is exiting so waiting 5 mins in a bush isnt a bad idea if you just want to loot (go make a cop of coffee while waiting).
Gear: Always insure it as this late in the wipe no one really wants your gear really. Dont feel bad about grabbing someone else gear either. Most players are usually swimming in cash from reselling items crafted in the hideout etc. Also dont forget you can use your scav gear for you next pmc run & its a gear way to test the different weapons too.
Weapon: I always suggest shotguns with like 7mm or 6,5mm buckshot shells. Even thou the buckshot has little armor penetration, the multiple pellets does massive damage & is dirt cheap & does pretty well in close to mid range firefights. Even if you havnt unlocked any of the better .. rapid firing .. shotguns like the Saiga, 153 or 155 you can usually still buy these used from Fence & repair them. Very rarely locks up too. Once you unlock Piranha shells you should obviously use those.
Great video as usual. Love your narrations
I've done over 700 scav raids, never loaded in with a GPU but it's nice to know it is possible lol.
I've played Tarkov since Alpha haven't been super into the last few wipes but my go to tip for new players is pick a map I usually recommend customs and only scav there and memorize where caches are and just run from cache to cache on scav & PMC. This makes you good money but also helps you learn at least 1 route across the map. You can then expand by hitting a cache and exploring the area around it. If you do this for every map over time you'll learn conflict areas and how to navigate maps.
With that walter sight if you alt right click to the T reticle it has a sharper smaller middle dot for that long range scav blasting.
You are getting better tactigamer im on 2k hours now and still feel the rush of a massive fight i play solo and duo and its so much fun
I have roughly 1k hours and still get the same rush as when I did back when I first started. This game is just something else. Regardless of how buggy it may be, the adrenaline it gives you can’t be found in any other game. I can feel my heartbeat going fast after every encounter in Tarkov, regardless how small, while in PUBG for example, I can go into fights 1v10 and not feel a thing.
the truth about Tarkov? where is it? this is basically just a Let's Play with random commentary.
whats the name of the music track 19:01 pleaseeee
yap first scav raid I ever done and I found a streets of tarkov apartment 13 marked key and almost threw it away for a battery or something because I was that new
hi what mouse accelerant app do you use
Hey man, is custom curve safe to use with Tarkov. Won’t get banned or anything as would really like to try this software out.
Yep i use it in all my fps games. Completely legal
Awesome. Thanks for quick reply will look to try this. Did it take some time to adjust to it ?
Nope for me it was fairly instant!
@@TactiGamer okay thank man. Keep up the great content
raw accel is pretty similar & ive been using it about 4 wipes with my trackball. so 100% time tested safe
The truth is learning the game is the most fun for me. the learning phase is the most exciting and adrenaline gut wretching endopamine kicker. haha. i mean its the most memorable parts of a game, the exp u gain and knowledge to go the developing phase where you improve your tactics, planning and skills. next is playing around like trying bunnch of stuffs just messin around. and i think thats one of the selling points of tarkov its one of those games that will give it to you bcuz you have freedom in the game. its so good to be young and have so much time. thats tarkov for me. oh the learning phase is the longest.
I take a step, start checking my spawn location, and someone heard me already and kills me 40 seconds into the match. What exp are you talking about.
@@c4scompsmith fun right.
awesome to see new players getting into the game! youre well along your way to your chadhood.
Is a 1080 ti good enough for tarkov?
17:20 it's an exit zb-1012 but as the other one it's deactivated need light over bunker on.
1:04 I’m loving it already
1:50 perfectly describes why I love extraction shooters compared to standard FPS because sometimes "stakes are high" and you get minor panic attack followed by adrenaline burst...
From Day Z roaming for hours being chill then feeling dread of bullets whiz past your head or Tarkov and Hunt having same feeling only condensed to smaller maps/raids mmmmmmm I love it!
1-2 secs after you pull the item out of the grizzly you are full healed on that body part, not bleeds or fractures though you have to finish the whole animation.
What is the name of the mouse accelerator app?
Great video! You know when it’s a good one when you watch start to finish first time! Please 🙏🏻 more Tarkov videos 🫡
I loved the type of gameplay... casual, some insecurities, good gunfights, excellent! I really wanted to play the game, but I think it's very expensive in my country. Nice video, bro!
I have never seen your channel before but just had it recommended to me, pretty nice editing, was fun to watch. I personally hit lvl51 recently and am around 5 quests from getting Kappa for my 2nd time. If you want legitimate advice or help I would be happy to. You can definitely be a lot better with some small changes to your gameplay.
Bro loading into a sav run with gpu and low rep is wild
Really loving the Tarkov content brother.
I don't remember what the patch was called, it was quite a while ago, but all i remember is that the vector got added in the next patch, but that was the most fun I ever had playing a game EVER and I think in BSG's efforts to execute their vision they stumbled upon a much better product that was just the right amount of hard and realistic while being a lot more fun and accessible to the everyday person who is an adult with a job and possibly even a family (which is the majority of people who play or at least did play) and not just dudes who verbally accost anyone who wants to be able to play casually and streamers which is the current playerbase
I loved my first 50 hours of tarkov more than everything after, the feeling to explore and navigate the maps and trying to stay alive was incredible.
At tier3 i feel like it gets grindy and knowing the mapsgives me the routine to perform better but destroys the thrill.
So i think its a great game for casual players, its just a niche game and thats a good thing
thanks for the great Tarkov content. It reminds me from when I forst started years ago. The same feelings and how you fuck up in stressful times. :D greeting from Denmark :)
The moment you came up on old gas i said "oh fuck" outloud because it wasnt lit lmao
At 17:13 the path you took is an extract as well the light above it wasnt on so you couldnt take it is all its ZB-12
whats that mouse accelerator curve ap?
honestly the best tip i can give to new players is to have your hold breath bind to the same button you use to scope in as it help greatly with first shot accuracy as you may forget to do that in the heat of the moment
As a casual player, you should play the Singleplayer mod
Try crouching more often for full auto sprays... It helps me a lot
Where is mp9 sniper from intro screen!? 😢
Why would you use a mouse accelerator app? Wouldn't that mean your sensitivity settings in game are just wrong?
No it means they are always consistent
You also become insanely consistent through muscle memory and practice, not by using some app that's gonna degrade that natural process in it's use IMO. Seems quite counter intuitive, unless I'm misunderstanding something here@@Josh-jw3go
I think with casual players want is a game that looks and feels like Tarkov except it’s fun.
Every time my buddies hit level 42 they all just quit the game. Noobs always complain about fighting people with max traders and all of the chads just complain that they got max traders and now they have nothing to do.
Funny, i not use that much flea to buy weapons, i almost use rewards from quests and stuff i got in creats, i sell any scav weapon because they fails a lot in middle of shotages lol
I'm a new player too, a tip is to show your health condition at all times instead of hiding/autohide it, that way it's easier to see if ur hit and need healing.
did they up drop chances over the last few big updates? Scavs with a gpu and the next one I see two bit coins.. what? lol
Straight up the AKS-U can carry you through to late-mid levels, it's a great wee workhorse of a gun, nice with a monstrum 2x on it as well.
I've played almost exclusively solo this wipe. I run night raids and find somewhere to wait tactically the first 10 minutes of the raid. I don't have a ton of free time to play this wipe but I'm almost level 26 now. I am not a giga chad wiping lobbies so I have to play slow and carefully.
Quick tip for anyone new starting the game. people will tell you lots of Different "starter" kits and things like that. But for me I always will suggest the PPSH as a classic starter. while you can't mod out your gun it has one of the best features in the game. no matter the durability it does not jam. means you can beat the hell out of it if you manage to survive long enough and that way you aren't constantly worried about your gun jamming on you mid combat. its a great beginner gun. Low recoil and fast fire rate. 35 round mags and the pervious no jamming^ yes against a chad it won't likely kill them, but going for the legs (the classic tarky leg meta) or letting them by you to wait for easier prey are both great options to using it. best of luck!
This is my first wipe and holy shit I'm getting my ass kicked, I've tried like 10 times to do this one quest in Streets and I got close to extracting once with the item
Do not play streets. As a new player, avoid streets at all cost. It will only cause frustration and for little benefit
@@NotTheBeltAgain honestly i would say streets isn't that bad for a beginner player. plenty of ways to avoid pvp, good loot amount so you won't have to know all the spots to get anything good, and teaches you to be aware of your surroundings. But I think maybe should only go there after 200 hrs or so
@@Spartan114Kaz streets is just too cramped for a beginner. this is my first week aswell , havent touched anything other than labs , customs , factory n shoreline
Open the map with spawns before the game and try to have in mind what your first 5-10 minutes will look like depending on where you spawn. What's your route to objective, what are the closest spawns to you and their likely direction from the start. Example: you spawn in Concordia and immediately you need to be wary of the spawns across the park from Crash Site extract. Or you spawn in the museum close to Kamchatskaya scav extract or next to it - you need to immediately go and cross the street because of the spawns in the Expo that have the clean line of sight on the entire street. If you spawn and immediately go where you're safe and have control over the situation instead of wander around for 5 minutes and trying to pull up map and figure out where you are, the game will become much safer and easier for you. Getting good in Tarkov is way easier if you do your homework, but it's a fun and rewarding kind of homework.
Often if you just want to extract or do a certain quest, the safest (but not necessarily the most fun) strategy is to stay put in safe place, and wait for lobby to get emptier. If you stay till the last 10 minutes on Streets, there will usually only be a few player scavs with you on the entire map.
I’ve died 10 times trying to get Jagers note on woods
The having to use the internet for a map instead of there just being an all the time in game map was a huge turn off for me as a newer player trying to learn it. Blundering around trying to figure out where I was and to find the extracts was frustrating.
Tarkov is pain
Learning the maps and dealing with inertia are my biggest issues. Knowing dayz main maps like my hometown map me lazy to have to learn these little maps and extracts points. Especially with all the talk of hackers in every match. The few raids I’ve extracted from have been pretty cool! But the one taps 4 second after I spawn in a raid have been ridiculous 🤣😢😂
Yah ,feels good see someone playing like me, but i cant win any pvp what should i do? Im level 15, firts wipe.
Get good
@@aidennatteravent4519 I like how you think
Holy crap. You play almost exactly like me, only, you can actually hit stuff, AND is not afraid of engaging in firefights. You are LEAGUES better then me, and yet, no map knowledge at all. Damn. To be fair, I only play customs and factory, and even then only use about half of the map
Reserve is a great map imo. Just use the big radar dish/lightbulb shaped thing on top of the hill to orient yourself.
Just finished the video and I was happily surprised that you added some scripture in there. Bravo dude. Keep up the good work :3
tarkov is hard only if you are new to the game... used to be afraid as well but now the more i play the more easy it gets and actually not that bad as youtubers says
Until the desync and the cheaters get you
@@yourewrongabouteverything actually got killed by a cheater today and aswell spawned dead after a connection issue 😂😂😂
A brother in Christ who makes Tarkov content?
Subscribed.
God bless you, brother
Had the game a year, tried to play it 3 or 4 times. Its just way hard to get into if your not playing everyday
Nice video. Great story telling.
there are stages to the game that open it up even more. Flea Market is huge, and then anytime you level up traders. Weapons get cheaper, and better guns unlock. XP is money imo. Always prioritize xp over money. Then getting the hideout upgraded. I'm passively making 1.5 million a day through bitcoins and crafting. Great video! First wipe is always a doozy. Game gets really fun the more you play.
Lots of puppy dawging for all the T r a it ors! Get your revision lighthouse from peacekeeper for m80 7.61x81 as soon as you can!
Truth is if you are a casual you will always be behind. There is no way to learn the maps safe that also feels rewarding. Best way to learn would probably be SPT
I tried tarkov when it girst came out. My buddy bailed on me so i started doing solo runs. I found out pretty quick that theres a giant learning curve. I decided that its not the game for me, i dont have enough time to sink into it.
I’m 2:17 in and I’m already feeling anxious… I DO NOT miss this game 😂
love this series :)
Playing against good players is hard enough but the hacks are just miserable.
That wasn't the manhole extract? You can't have backpacks in that extract.
Even with 1500hours in Tarkov I still consider myself a casual player -- I've played since the beginning but typically take 2-3 wipes off. The recoil and vaulting changes brought me back this wipe. I love this game because there's always something to learn but frankly its hard to make it a main game when it wipes so often.
I need your graphic settings
Holy crap, someone who uses mouse acceleration? Mad lad right there.
Wouldn't it be wild if there was a 24 hour cooldown after death? I wonder how that would change player interaction.
U can buy the factory emergency exit key for zb-13 now, it’s under fortress u have to go to warehouse 4 and cut on power to access
We've all been there but yes, green smoke on gas station and on ZB-1012 the spotlight must be on if it's open.
The only way to get good in EFT or enjoy it is if you put in a lot of hours. Simply spawning in a map not knowing where the extract points are is pointless. You will only survive if you look at guides and other stuff beforehand
i havent left ground zero the whole wipe
i have studied every inch of this map and have become the master
ever since then im dropping giga chads every raid and am having lots of fun
As this is my first wipe I think the flea market really does open up so many avenues as a casual player
hot key for heavy bleed fix!
SPT lets you casual as slow as you want. Add the Leveled Progression mod and the AI will be close to you in gear and abilities, not way over.
ESP at 16:20 ?
Bro definitely said "i got that DAWG in me"
Just got the game and I am struggling big time lol and I don't know anyone that plays it either 😅
Don't hip fire as much, even with a laser. When they changed the recoil they made hip fire worse.
