Nah. Being in a group doesnt matter. I usually kill 1 or 2 and a large minority of the time everyone in a group and I play solo. what usually gets me is the the guy that just sat in a corner or a dark window while the fight went on and "just happened" to stumble upon me as I stitching up. Just 3rd party basically lmao.
@@McKae00 Being in a community and playing solo can be done at the same time. If you are one of the few people who play only solo, good on you, but if you want to play solo and have questions and can just ask someone in the community discord you're much more likely to not run into answers like "just hit headshots lol" to literally any question.
Jesse, your last tip brought back an old flashback to old days of Tarkov for me. I remember the days of Tarkov before we had a flea market and players would post in the EFT discord that they were selling/buying certain items and then grouping up in raid, dropping the stuff, then dying lmao
My personal favorite have been Tarkov Tracker for years now. You have to keep track with what you do in the game, but it's the most handy tool I've found to stay aware, in raid, of what you need to loot for your quests AND your hideout.
A few more, tarkov tracker - Keeps track of your character progress. It's mostly used in conjunction with rat scanner. Rat scanner is awesome. It's an overlay of your game, and when you click on an item, it will tell you how many of that item you need for quests and hideout stuff. If you combine it with the tarkov tracker, you can mark how many of certain items you have, and then it will reflect that when you are in raid. So if you need 10 cpu fans, but you've already gotten 4. When you're in raid it will say you only need 6 when you click on a cpu fan.
@Aabe_lol I don't think so. I used it the whole time 2 wipes ago. Didn't play last wipe. Using it again this wipe. It claims it doesn't hook into the EFT process and only takes screenshots.
Because I know creators can't openly support it I will do so here. You can use SPT AKI (Single Player Tarkov). It is an unsupported mod, in-fact the dev's don't like it for some reason, that can help you learn the basics of the game without all the scare and hassle of PvP and hackers. It also supports a lot of mods to customize it to your playstyle. You want to be a god completely invincible? Go for it. Mod it to make the AI even more broken, they got you. The biggest thing in Tarkov is gear-fear and with SPT you can turn that off completely. Just keep in mind your experience will be DRASTICALLY different from the live version, but for a lot of new players, this is a great way to learn the game and have better hands on knowledge that can help them in the live version. Or mod it so everyone is an anime girl. I'm not here to judge. As for the getting banned fear. You don't have to worry. Just keep SPT in a different folder and don't run it at the same time as the live version, and they'll never know. Happy hunting!
I have 2k hours. I’m pretty good at the game. Usually around %65 survival rate after I stop suiciding for quests. I struggle with motivation whenever I die in a stupid way. Literally just causes me to stare at my stash and watch TH-cam haha.
Before I even watch the video, I just wanna thank you for this. This is basically my first wipe as I joined at the very end of the previous wipe. I have never played a game with such a big learning curve. League didn't feel like this, and CoD is nowhere near Tarkov. I've beat souls games multiple times and still feels easier to learn than Tarkov. So, thank you for this.
Good luck and my best piece of advice to you, report everyone that kills you. There is a video by g0at, and its just proving that he had cheaters in 80% of his raids. I don't agree with how he did it, he bought cheats and just killed scavs but he still was cheating on an alt account. If you think tarkov is full of cheater thats because it is. I don't think streamers are cheating, but there is a large majority of the playerbase that does cheat. You can normally tell to, if you run up on a guy and its a 50/50 fight, then hes not cheating.....most likely. If you run up on someone or someone rushes you when you have made no noise, and he swings a corner and is looking at you, and nobody ever sits there and 1 taps you before you even realise someone is there. That guy is cheating. You have to remember, there are cheats out there that can intercept the data between client and host for tarkov. It will then display it (on a seperate pc) and show you where everyone is. This is completely undetectable by the garbage anticheat called battleeye. Battlestate is great at building a concept for one of the most advanced FPS games on the market, but their execution is terrible. They have made hundred of millions of dollars, and the game still has the same issues it had back in 10.x versions. They said years ago that they were updating the entire game engine to UE5 but that hasn't even come close to happening, and in battlestate fashion they made up a poor excuse. Just save yourself the time and don't play. When 5 mans get wiped by a single person running around with a 9mm pistol by only headshots, then there is a much larger problem here than new maps, new games, new systems, and anything new. There is so much wrong with this game that they are just damaging it more by adding new shit instead of fixing old issues. Good luck.
@user-xz9vq1gy7i I appreciate that mate. But the thing is, I wouldn't even know if I'm against a cheater, other than checking their stats, because I'm incredibly nooby so every gunfight, I'm more likely to lose it. I'm better at cod, I'm not great at it either, but yeah.
@@ThumbsGaming-c6jya know I’ve been playing a lot this wipe and it really feels like I haven’t been dying to “cheats” every time except maybe once on woods. But I made a bad choice so could be on me. Other than that the gameplay feels real, and if you want kills you need wits and learn to ambush it helps.
knowledge is power in this game. doin a lil homework will pay dividends. playin with someone can be a fast track to knowledge, but get your hands dirty and dont let it become a crutch. Good luck out here, its a dangerous game. gotta b handy with the steel if ya know what I mean, earn ya keep.
Thanks man I have 40 hours in the game and love it when I come out alive from fights but when I get one tapped it’s frustrating and makes me go back to the drawing board and rethink my decisions
I wish I could like this video a thousand times. Been playing this game since 2018 and I wished these existed so many times but didn't know they do! These tools are mint! thank you so much my dude
The fact the game STILL doesn't have good in-game maps with your current extractions shown is mindboggling to me. You're telling me my PMC instinctively knows the names of their possible extract points with no way to relay their general location to the player controlling them?
I have played for the last 3-4 wipes and only now after this one am I finally feeling like I'm understanding the game. I'm actually faring better this wipe than my 800-1000+ hrs friends and it's been so satisfying to start getting a handle on this beast of a game. A lot of it I credit to you and your guides/gameplay, so thank you so much Jesse!
I recommend getting a map pack in overwolf it has all maps and multiple presets like loot, extracts, spawns, 2d and 3d Maps as well. Helped me a lot learning ground zero
Yo there was some page for all the ammos and their damage a while back and it was easy AF to read and had tabs / filtering, with the ammo changes tho im sure that has to be entirely remade so when they have that up to date, post that somewhere in a video brother that page was goated when looking for ammo by damage/pen values and also which guns they were for too
The thing that really bosed me was getting a three k on a squad and it got me out of that hole that i couldn't compete it may not work for everyone but just try to have a little more confidence and faith in yourself but dont over do it
I'm on my second wipe and only have about 250hrs in the game but I've already killed nearly as many pmcs as last wipe and I'm only level 9 so far. Just wish I convince my friends to play so I've got some support to help with quests. Early wipe is rough as a newer player when you're solo
It's in the works I'm sure. This patch is probably the biggest mechanical change to the game in a really really long time so it's probably gonna take a minute
i wish i could learn tarkov again and have that same fresh fellings of discovry cause yeah i need the wiki enven tho i have over 5K hours but just as a reminder or a confirmation on a changed but the overwhelm of diffrent feelings ( cauld | warm | sad | happy | stressed | hitting rockbottom and being on top of the world ) is fading with time, Maybe a hot take : - I feel like at a point every one was saying you need to loose gear fear it block you from making some plays, ... blablabla it certainly true but it make the game feel so much better when you care about it and having no gear fear make you play like you play call of duty and i'm not here to play call of duty PS : sorry for the spelling i'm not american or english
I have almost 6000 hours in the game and this is such a great video for a new player to the game. I stream myself and this is going to be my new linked video for when people ask well done sir!!!
Tip for new solo players: Don't worry too much about quests on your first wipe. Focus on mastering mechanics, learning 2-3 maps really well, and a few spawn locations for good ammo, armor and scopes. This will help you heaps in mak8ng progress quickly on toye second wipe and put you in a better position to fight more experience experienced players without being at such a disadvantage all the time.
I find it funny that just using a guide to do a quest is the norm. Used to be that we tried to figure shit out for ourselves, and games were made to allow that to happen. Now games are made extra cryptic because it's all on the wiki. Kind of a bummer... I mean, I also use the wiki. So don't get me wrong, I get it. Just sucks. Might be cool if the game didn't tell you the door was locked but you knew where to go. So when you got there and it was locked, you might think "Oh I need to find this key." Then your objectives come to you organically.
I need to learn how to grow a pair of balls and quit being so scared all the time and walk around Tarkov with some confidence not like a little scared baby!! lol

like 3 years and I still have to watch this video ☹️
same @@bigboiyoshi3611
500 hours and I am still learning
Keep up the great content
On and off for about a year. 3rd wipe didn’t play much last wipe except for like the last two weeks
Over 4 years and I still play like I got the game 4 weeks ago
I have 1500 hours but I watched cause I like hearing Jesse talk
Gluck Gluck gluck
@@Sick66-qu4uh elaborate
I have 1000 hours and I watched because I suck at Tarkov.

a completely unique new player experience haha

@@McKae00 It doesn't matter for _some_ people, but for most people, being in a squad greatly improves your chances of survival.
Just started playing Tarkov four days ago, I've been watching tons of videos, and this is by far the most helpful one I've seen so far
Jesse, your last tip brought back an old flashback to old days of Tarkov for me. I remember the days of Tarkov before we had a flea market and players would post in the EFT discord that they were selling/buying certain items and then grouping up in raid, dropping the stuff, then dying lmao
Were you in the trading discord that got shut down? It turned into a failed pVp tournament server. Was so sad
@@opticalsalt2306 I think I vaguely remember that...
This might be the best editing I've seen in Tarkov videos.
My personal favorite have been Tarkov Tracker for years now. You have to keep track with what you do in the game, but it's the most handy tool I've found to stay aware, in raid, of what you need to loot for your quests AND your hideout.
A few more, tarkov tracker - Keeps track of your character progress. It's mostly used in conjunction with rat scanner.
Rat scanner is awesome. It's an overlay of your game, and when you click on an item, it will tell you how many of that item you need for quests and hideout stuff. If you combine it with the tarkov tracker, you can mark how many of certain items you have, and then it will reflect that when you are in raid. So if you need 10 cpu fans, but you've already gotten 4. When you're in raid it will say you only need 6 when you click on a cpu fan.
Seconding this. Love rat scanner.
Can we get banned for using rat scanner or tarkov tracker?
@Aabe_lol I don't think so. I used it the whole time 2 wipes ago. Didn't play last wipe. Using it again this wipe. It claims it doesn't hook into the EFT process and only takes screenshots.
@@Aabe_lolNo you can't. It takes screenshots and then scans the wiki for a match of the item thumbnail and tells you the highest vendor price.
Because I know creators can't openly support it I will do so here.
You can use SPT AKI (Single Player Tarkov). It is an unsupported mod, in-fact the dev's don't like it for some reason, that can help you learn the basics of the game without all the scare and hassle of PvP and hackers. It also supports a lot of mods to customize it to your playstyle. You want to be a god completely invincible? Go for it. Mod it to make the AI even more broken, they got you. The biggest thing in Tarkov is gear-fear and with SPT you can turn that off completely. Just keep in mind your experience will be DRASTICALLY different from the live version, but for a lot of new players, this is a great way to learn the game and have better hands on knowledge that can help them in the live version. Or mod it so everyone is an anime girl. I'm not here to judge.
As for the getting banned fear. You don't have to worry. Just keep SPT in a different folder and don't run it at the same time as the live version, and they'll never know. Happy hunting!
I think, dev support for spt would do more to help expose eft to people would enjoy it, than arena.
I have 2k hours. I’m pretty good at the game. Usually around %65 survival rate after I stop suiciding for quests. I struggle with motivation whenever I die in a stupid way. Literally just causes me to stare at my stash and watch TH-cam haha.
imo the best use of the wiki is to go through my junk boxes to see what items i still need for hideout/quests, and what i can just go ahead and sell
Google tarkov quest chart and you should get an image showing every item you need for quests under each trader

I wish I could like this video a thousand times. Been playing this game since 2018 and I wished these existed so many times but didn't know they do! These tools are mint! thank you so much my dude
Wiki 100% better for Maps more upto date when it comes to quest spot locations. Cannot rely on Genie being right I've noticed.
Thanks bro, for all the knowledge. I'm new to EFT and it's been insane, intense and overwhelming, but your vids are def helping, a lot!
The fact the game STILL doesn't have good in-game maps with your current extractions shown is mindboggling to me. You're telling me my PMC instinctively knows the names of their possible extract points with no way to relay their general location to the player controlling them?
Wiki also has interactive maps BTW, more are coming.
It also has the same spreadsheet as eft-ammo.
been playing since 2020 with almost 1k hours and im just now really getting the feel for tarkov
I'd recommend tarkov tracker, is so nice to track quests and items you need
Great guide Jesse! Even for a more seasoned player.
Tarkov Tracker is also an amazing took for EFT. Especially for knowing all the items you need found in raid.
I have played for the last 3-4 wipes and only now after this one am I finally feeling like I'm understanding the game. I'm actually faring better this wipe than my 800-1000+ hrs friends and it's been so satisfying to start getting a handle on this beast of a game.

Appreciate you fam, your professionalism reminds me of rhyyker on Diablo. But your unique chill vibes thank you broski
Overwolf has a EFT overlay now. It works okay. Haven’t used it a whole let yet. Haven’t had time to play much this wipe so far.
I recommend getting a map pack in overwolf it has all maps and multiple presets like loot, extracts, spawns, 2d and 3d Maps as well. Helped me a lot learning ground zero
700 hours and i’m still watching these videos 💀💀💀
It the wiki doesn’t say if you are out on a timer when your head gets blacked ????
Yo there was some page for all the ammos and their damage a while back and it was easy AF to read and had tabs / filtering, with the ammo changes tho im sure that has to be entirely remade so when they have that up to date, post that somewhere in a video brother that page was goated when looking for ammo by damage/pen values and also which guns they were for too
New player here, I do I identify a PMC when I am playing as a scav? do all PMCs have a handgun holster on their leg and the scavs do not ?
PRO TIP put your script close to the camera so you arent checking your radar mid speech
The thing that really bosed me was getting a three k on a squad and it got me out of that hole that i couldn't compete it may not work for everyone but just try to have a little more confidence and faith in yourself but dont over do it
My first raid was yesterday and I spawned in took two steps and immediately saw 2 pmc’s running towards me two seconds later dead…
I am struggling of instant headshots and loud noises when my pmc run.
I'm on my second wipe and only have about 250hrs in the game but I've already killed nearly as many pmcs as last wipe and I'm only level 9 so far. Just wish I convince my friends to play so I've got some support to help with quests. Early wipe is rough as a newer player when you're solo
I only have like 30 hours in the game but if you need someone to run with I'm down. My gt is either Come Incider or Came Incider I forget which one
You should be able to ping marks on your in game map.
Is maps available while in raid to look at?
tarkov tracker is hands down the best tool - (it is linked with the wiki and u can track progress and have maps with quest locations marked)
Early Grind Jesse looks tired lol. Thank you for your sacrifice Jesse!
69 hours and im just finally learned reserve 😅 thank you for all the tips and help!
I keep joining night time maps and I cant see anything and just die real quick
No mention of the ammo page?
PLEASE post links to the different sources you listed! I am so sussed out rn trying to get a battle buddy for windows that isnt a virus.
Honestlly i prefer tarkov dev as it has almost all of these integrated into a one stop shop
Do we know if BSG is planning to add any of these essential resources into the game?
you should put the links in the description!
My dudes, I bought this game in 2020 and have over 2000hrs in game. I still suck so bad.
Eft-ammo is great too
I love how we have ammo stats in arena, but not on main game
Just read that Database For Tarkov is next level good.
I pay a sub to map genie because I use it so much. It's only $9.99 for the entire year.
i'm hoping all these tools update because there's been huge still largely undocumented changes with armor interaction this patch
It's in the works I'm sure. This patch is probably the biggest mechanical change to the game in a really really long time so it's probably gonna take a minute
i assume yes but ill ask anyway: is the battlebuddy app updated to current wipe?
i wish i could learn tarkov again and have that same fresh fellings of discovry cause yeah i need the wiki enven tho i have over 5K hours but just as a reminder or a confirmation on a changed but the overwhelm of diffrent feelings ( cauld | warm | sad | happy | stressed | hitting rockbottom and being on top of the world ) is fading with time,
Maybe a hot take :
- I feel like at a point every one was saying you need to loose gear fear it block you from making some plays, ... blablabla
it certainly true but it make the game feel so much better when you care about it and having no gear fear make you play like you play call of duty and i'm not here to play call of duty
PS : sorry for the spelling i'm not american or english
1800 hours but love jesse so recap time
bro this is such a good video, if i had this when i started a couple years ago i would have more hair in my head XD
I have over 2500 hours and I still feel like a new player
Where's the best place for 3d maps
Just started playing this game looks cool is it dying I hope not game looks like a masterpiece
Hey Jesse how i camp better monkas
Mapgenie is cheap AF for what they offer.
$10 lifetime map access. Not expensive at all.
PIZZA MAN!
I would add tarkov,help as an alternative to the map and tarkov,dev as an alternative to the value of the items (replace the "," with "." )
I have almost 6000 hours in the game and this is such a great video for a new player to the game. I stream myself and this is going to be my new linked video for when people ask well done sir!!!
Big success
Success! Thanks for all the information. Great content as always 👏
AMAZING VIDEO MAN
Your face reminds me of both Charlie Day and the guy from the whatever podcast
Help, this shit is crazy.
Struggling with Tarkov isn't a question it's your natural state of being when playing it.
I have 1500 hours and I still get teamkilled cause I mald when I miss
Tarkov maps on the App Store!
As a Noob Tarkovtracker helped me out alot
#6: ABS
Fantastic video
Jesse ya need to update your Chrome!
Someone should make addons for these things ingame
I have 1000 hours but probably 300 in loading screens.
Tip for new solo players: Don't worry too much about quests on your first wipe. Focus on mastering mechanics, learning 2-3 maps really well, and a few spawn locations for good ammo, armor and scopes. This will help you heaps in mak8ng progress quickly on toye second wipe and put you in a better position to fight more experience experienced players without being at such a disadvantage all the time.
smooches
yelp said this is a good place
Terrific
Idk if mapgenie still offers it but I paid $10 for life time access to tarkov
I find it funny that just using a guide to do a quest is the norm. Used to be that we tried to figure shit out for ourselves, and games were made to allow that to happen.
Now games are made extra cryptic because it's all on the wiki. Kind of a bummer...
I mean, I also use the wiki. So don't get me wrong, I get it. Just sucks.
Might be cool if the game didn't tell you the door was locked but you knew where to go. So when you got there and it was locked, you might think "Oh I need to find this key."
Then your objectives come to you organically.
U missed tarkotracker bro
I need to learn how to grow a pair of balls and quit being so scared all the time and walk around Tarkov with some confidence not like a little scared baby!! lol
I can't play solo, I am too scared to play solo
And I don't really know why
Also, I want to play with other people, but I have bad social anxiety.
Battlebuddy has been super inaccurate since the last 3-4 patch cycles.
Luckily for me i was watching Jesse for a year+ before i even owned a PC
Hey babe wake up, a new JesseKazam video got posted.
Pizza Man 🍕
Bub I need help not that I'm not killing people I can't find exit
Ummmmmm wish i had seen this 6 days ago!!!!!
mapgenie is no longer being developed is what ive heard so its gonna get less and less accurate.
oh, hi guys
Database for Tarkov. Available on iOS and pc thank me later
