I love that in the first 2:30 you can hear the genuine pain of having to learn Tarkov. I think a lot of Tarky players, myself included, remember that it was hard to learn, but we gloss over the depths of frustration this game brings to new players. I am very excited to watch further.
The biggest thing with meds is prioritizing stopping bleeds, then pain meds for broken limbs, movement impairment, etc. AI2 (cheese) only heals and doesn't remove any of the impairments (broken limbs, bleeds, concussion, etc.). In the clip where you used the salewa out of your container, technically you could have just used the AI2 to heal up since there were no other status effects at the time. Just some food for thought. Great video!
Raids aren’t your speed but I love your enthusiasm to learn. The map awareness will grow on you so keep it at it, you’ll get the feel for it eventually.😂❤
I'd love to see more of this, full raids or even just clips, solos or teaming up with friends or other content creators, this game is just so fun to watch
For what it's worth, the price of vehicle extracts are linked to your "Scav Karma", which is basically your reputation level with the trader, Fence. Successful scav extracts, Coop extracts (PMC+Scav), and even taking vehicle extracts increase Fence rep, but killing scavs as a player scav decreases it pretty substantially. Your extract was 6500 because you likely did something to hurt your rep at some point.
Always carry a standalone item to heal a heavy bleed. Most larger healing items like Salewa, AFAK, IFAK, can heal a heavy bleed, but it will use a LOT of the item's resource. The esmarch (tourniquet) is good in the beginning, but bring a couple, since they are single-use. Once you can routinely get your hands on the CALOK-B (hemostat) which has 3 uses, always bring one. Heavy bleeds are one the biggest killers of new players. You bleed out FAST, and it gets worse the longer it goes unhealed.
CAT toury is techicly faster than an Esmarch like by a second for heavy bleeds ( also can be bought at lvl 1 traders, Peacekeeper), and is great because its the same speed as the 3 use Hemostat power, so timing etc can be learned
i dont bother with esmarches at the start, and bonus is you spend money on peacekeeper and level 2 is only money spent and PMC level 12/13, ( its like a pmc level before Therapist 2@@SteremyJeele
its so refreshing to see a new player's perspective on Tarkov. 90% of the videos on yt are from guys that spend thousands of hours in this game and are trying the help the new players
I'd like to see more of these kinds of videos for Tarkov whether bad or good its you playin that we're here for! Keep at it and don't let the Tarkov grind affect you mentally
Honestly from all the beginner tarkov videos I've seen you seem to have caught on very fast, the biggest learning curve after basic mechanics is just map knowledge and spawn locations
i think you may have killed scavs on your scav and gotten negative rep so the price of the car is higher. if you have good scav rep it actually lowers the price
i watched Handler during MW 2019, haven’t watched anything passed that COD. awesome to see him pick up Tarkov, my fav game of all time. More importantly, awesome to watch Handler again.
So glad to see you on this game! Tarkov is my favorite game of all time and I love seeing content creators give it a try. I hope you continue to play it! Here are a few random pieces of advice: -you always reload the magazine with most ammo in it. No need to worry about cycling magazine, your pmc always chooses the one with the most ammo -if you’re light or heavy bleeding, using a salewa, ifak, Afak, or grizzly will automatically heal the body part that’s bleeding. If you’re bleeding but specifically want to heal your thorax or head (so you don’t die), bind your heals to activate on “release” instead of “press” so you can scroll to the body part you want to heal instead. -if you have both a blacked arm and a blacked leg, double-clicking your cms will always choose to do surgery on arms first. Therefore I recommend specifically choosing to do surgery on legs first so you aren’t limping around. -if you’re starving never do surgery. You’ll take damage to the healed limb before you can heal it, blacking it out again. Eat first then do surgery. I’m sure you’ll have tons of struggling in your future, game is super hard. But there doesn’t exist another gameplay experience more rewarding. If you ever want to squad up feel free to hit me up. My group has tens of thousands of hours combined and we can always help set you on the right path! Good luck!
Glad my favorite CoD youtuber is playing Tarkov! It's a fun game and I hope you do play it more! My top 3 tips would be; 1 - Pistols are extremely underrated. It is faster than reloading, and they do have a quickdraw function if your main firearm jams. 2 - Learn and change your keybinds. There are functions for pretty much everything you can think of, and some people miss out because they don't learn them, or they don't have full keyboards and didn't know that all of the other keys have binds on default. They just added mantling on this wipe, so you should definitely bind that, otherwise you'll have that jumping problem you had in the last factory raid at the medical tent. 3 - If you do take this game more seriously, the higher packages are worth the price. Initially, I bought the Standard Edition and grinded my way through the early game, and I absolutely loved it. But when it came to the next wipe, That time just to build the stash alone is way too many hours. It literally is P2W when you get a bigger secure container (we call it asshole), but this is one of the few games where you can justify it. This game is a time sink. And I know you've experienced it, but you're gonna get Tarkov'd a lot. A lot. Good luck, have fun!
Sadly the Edge of Darkness version got removed ( AKA the best package 3x3 secure container and max stash). during my first wipe i upgraded like halfway into the wipe ( started at the start of it) to EoD Edit: about your point 2, if you play with toggle ads( click RMB) you can setup hold RMB for hold breath. and use one of your side buttons to turn on/off tactical devices like lights etc and maybe another to weapon inspect etc for malfuctions ( can be press to inspect and release to fix)
And a small extra i would recommend is the UI on the bottom left to be allways on, its shows your stamina ( Arms and legs) but also your walk speed the little speaker icon shows if you are making sound while walking theres ))) coming out of it when you do
ive legit recently rebinded my quick ready pistol to just press 1 instead of double press, same for quick melee (for clearly windowns etc)@@feneomgamer9138
Dude I’ve been watching you forever but sooo happy to see you trying EFT. Med tip is just always carry light/heavy bleed items like bandages/CATS because otherwise it eats up too much hp from salewas/medkits. With your aim if you stay at it you could become a Tarkov Goat
What a great time to hop into Tarkov! With the new mechanics added and recoil rework, its as "beginner friendly" as it ever has been! I fell in love with the game and its surprising amount of lore a few months back and haven't found anything that scratches the itch quite like it since.
You've adapted very well to the tarkov environment wich gives you mechanical skill lots of room to shine, wich it certainly does. Your way forward is to learn thru experience wich is always very fun to watch a new and competent player acrew. Looking forward to more tarkov! as for tips: -consumables and weapons in your rigs/pockets can be hotkeyed by mousing over and pressing a number key (4-0), no need to drag them over. -Try to find small gaps in fights to heal, you really dont wanna swing with a red thorax, also why you want basic consumables hotkeyed -Dont worry about getting items for further quests just yet, focus on the ones you have. Especially having a base edition stash -if you bleed to much your head/thorax will go black, no cmsing that. If you have either head or thorax blacked and take ANY damage to the blacked area you die instantly. This includes getting dehydrated/no energy
Hey Handler, I'm glad that you want to get to know one of my favorite games better. So if I could give a few tips based on your gameplay: 1. To speed up your looting a little, you can use the left ALT key, so the PMC will grab all the items that you don't wear on your PMC character. 2. To assign your hotkeys faster, you can hover over the items you have in your rig or your pockets and press the number you want to assign as a hotkey. This way you can assign hotkeys to items more quickly. 3. In order to drop items more quickly, I would recommend that you assign your Discard button in the key settings. If you are left-handed, I have set it to "
@Handler I don’t know if someone already said it but when it comes to heals in your inventory, you can hover over them with your mouse and then press the number you want to bind them to, that way you don’t have to drag them to the slots at the bottom. Great video though I would love it if these became a regular occurrence on the channel, you’re learning super fast and your aim is already amazing.
I'm begging you this needs to be a series. Tarkov can be a very frustrative game, but it's also a gem although it has flaws. I've enjoyed watching you play COD, but as someone who enjoys Tarkov over COD, i'd just love to see you play and learn. Just don't give up, i'm sure you'll catch up in no time !
Awesome seeing Handler share the pain of Tarkov! All the lows of this game can be punishing, but the highs are unmatched. Keep it up, love to see you learn this. Also Jesse Kazam has a fantastic beginner video. Its very long but he has it broken into sections, highly recommend.
Would love to see more of this, can’t wait till you get to flea and see the gun modification, also,for that med bug have you tried switching to the health tab to show your hit points and then tried to click ans drag the heals there idk if that would work but it’s worth a shot, also you can vault things now if you hold space bar
You can buy more space for your pouch if you upgrade your game version on their website. It’s 100 USD on top of the 50 you already paid, and it really makes a hugeee difference, sure someone has already put you on. Definitely worth it if you plan on making more content. Good luck love the cod and eft content.
The cheese cannot cure bleeds or fix fractures but it can restore health to a body part, the higher tiers can remove those debuffs but usually at high expenses to their durability, when you get a larger secure container it is good to bring in a grizzly medkit. Injectors can also help a lot when you finally unlock them and can get them consistently, they can be stored in an injector case.
For the meds set up to deal with injuries mid-gun fight, a good beginning set up is to have an AI-2 and tourniquets in your hotbar since those cover most of the bases except light bleeds, which aren't as lethal and can be dealt with by most medkits(salewa, IFAK, AFAK, etc.) that you might put in your container as back up. Tourniquets are essential because heavy bleeds kill you fasts. Typically, two tourniquets(Esmersh from Therapist, or CAT from Peacekeeper) are enough to cover what you need until you leave the raid or loot more from your kill. You can run painkillers in your hotbar too to quickly get mobility back mid-fight, or just have them in your container if you want to save on some roubles. Priority for status is basically heavy bleed if the fight is done, or painkiller if you're still in a fight and need to regain mobility. Then light bleed and HP healing, depending on which is more urgent. Then fractures(Splint) or zeroed limbs(Surgery kits). Always try to save your thorax or head before it hits zero if you can because you can't use surgery kits on those, and any additional damage to blacked out head/thorax means instant death. If you look up Gigabeef's channel, he has a keybind guide on more effective healing hotbar keybinds, and more effective keybind and other guides in general. Otherwise, keep up the good work! I'm excited to see you learn and tackle this game.
As someone who played this game for 2500+ hours and for multiple wipes, i have seen the best and worst wipes of this game. Im glad you decided to give this game a try during its best wipe so far, and i wish you luck and success in learning the game, may Nikita Buyanov himself be on your side
If there ever was a time to get into tarkov rn, it would be this wipe. Recoil is way less than before and clearly manageable already by you. Love the vids
Oh my god. I was just thinking about what it would be like to see Slayed play Tarkov, and now Handler is actually playing it... anyone else think he might convince Slayed to play it too?
Hey Hendler! Love the video! One quick tip, I can give you is that you can bind to heels to one button. You can make one be press of button 5, and one be release of button 5. You make the first one your heavy bleed, like a Kallick, then the secondary one is a grizzly.
It’s so awesome to see you playing my favorite game! I always forget how confusing this game was when I first started. Put in some time and you’ll get the hang of map knowledge and general game knowledge. Your aim is obviously already there lol. Keep grinding bro! I’m here for it.
So awesome to see you play Tarkov! If you'd like some helpful tips for healing I'd say first, use your med kits for light bleeds and heavy bleeds only in an emergency. Bring some esmarches and bandages in raid to heal heavy and light bleeds before using your ifaks, afaks, salewas, etc. You can always buy the bandages back from Therapist at Level 1, unlike the med kits which you can't until you unlock the Flea Market or you level up Therapist, so you don't have to worry about losing those bandages in raid if you die. Just keep the Med kits in your alpha container if possible. Next, the parts that can never be healed when blacked out are your head, and your thorax. All others can be used with a CMS or survival kit. Always heal your bleeds before using your cms or survival kit. Another great tip is if you are near an area you may engage in a fight, take a painkiller. In case you engage with someone and you take a lot of damage and may need to run or escape, you'll be happy you took it beforehand.
Escape From Tarkov too?! Love the game variety you’ve been selecting as of late Ryan. Just comes to show how talent you are at any game you pick up, and come running in full-determination. Good aim, tactical knowledge, and spatial awareness. 🔥❤️
Always interested in seeing how skills in one shooter translates to another. You've got excellent aim and awareness so you'll undoubtedly do well in the shooting aspect. But, with what little I've played of Tarkov it's an entire different beast. Map awareness, looting, supplies etc. I do hope you continue to play and make a series along with your CoD uploads.
Some inventory tips, its very useful to bind a button to quick drop items, I use one of the buttons on my mouse, anytime you need to drop a gun or armor or something you can just hover over it and click that button to drop it instantly instead of using the right click menu. Along with that when binding stuff like meds to hotkeys you can just hover over them and press the hotkey you want to bind it to as long as they are in your pockets or rig. Good luck out there!
Great to see you play tarkov! Since you asked for some tips: -you can mantle now by holding spacebar -always heal heavy bleeds as soon as possible as they drain your health really fast, ideally with an esmarch or calok-b because they use up a lot of hp from salewas/afaks -fix your blacked out stomach quickly because it will drain your hunger and thirst -use third party maps it helps a lot
Esmarch (1 use), CAT hemostatic (1 use) and CALOK-B (3 use's) to stop heavy bleeding. You should bring at least two esmarch's or CAT's or just one CALOK every raid. Love that you're playing this game!
CAT Hemostatic tourniquets can be bought from Peacekeeper Level 1 for pennies and are single use heavy bleed cures! Bring at least one early wipe. Using meds that heal health and status effects use A LOT of durability and are better used to heal body parts. For the alpha container, I recommend having a CMS kit and Aluminum splint. Leave the last slot for high value loot or ammo to load mags. You can also press the hotkey you want while hovering over meds to put them on the hotbar. Have fun and I look forward to seeing you get comfortable with Tarkov!!
I’m sure it’s said somewhere, but people love to see the loot at the end of the raid or even during. A good tip is to bind the discard key to something easy to reach
Glad more ppl are getting into tarkov. Tips for picking out pmcs vs scavs. Look at pants and shoes. Most pmcs have a pistol holster on leg. Also player scavs will often hit F1 to do a voiceline. If footsteps you hear dont respond with a russian voiceline they are likely pmc
handler if you dont start playing this everyday it doesnt get boring until your 3rd wipe that means you have 2 years of good content i will watch regardless i love you
More Tarkov please! Maybe some more duos with experienced players too, the learning experience would be fun to watch As far as med tips, they just added a new system where you can hold down your med key and use your scroll wheel to select which body part to heal. So say your cheese kit is hotkeyed to 4, you can hold 4, scroll down to your thorax, then let go of 4 to heal it without going into the menu. I’m still not used to using it myself yet, but it’s definitely really useful. Thorax, head, stomach, legs, and then arms is the priority you want to heal things in usually if you have to do it quickly. Thorax is so important a lot of players will try to get to cover and heal it even in the middle of a fight.
I started playing this game in early alpha. The new wipe with recoil changes has made it more enjoyable. It definitely a pain to learn. But hitting them highs is what keeps me coming back to the game, but god damn the lows of the game hurt so much. Glad you have the same feeling. Also I would check out the escape from Tarkov wiki as it has a lot of good information relating to ammo, quest, maps, spawn locations and a lot more. Edit: more Tarkov videos please, as it cool to see people learn the game, hope you can keep enjoying it!
Some tips for healing. Prioritize getting rid of heavy bleeds first then broken bones then rest (CMS for blacked out limbs>Light bleeds imo) If youre overwhelmed with what to use, just use a grizzly in your pouch (most people wont agree but it pretty much fixes everything except blacked out limbs) Painkillers are good to use before a fight but try using vaseline if you have any instead of pills because of the dehydration pills give compared to vaseline if you find any stims make sure to stash them in your pouch as they can either be very expensive or very useful also painkillers can help with getting to extract quick if you have brpoken bones or blacked out limbs and have to get out asap (the damage taken whilst doing it is not that bad unless the distance is long, if so walk most of the way and sprint if necessary) And as a bonus, try out shotguns with express buckshot or 5.25 buckshot. Makes many fights quicker and easier
love to see more tarkov videos also cant remember where exactly it is in settings but i can change your character in the top left corner color from grey to green and the more damage you take it will then, go to yellow, then orange, then red gives you better awareness of which limbs are the most damage. One more tip i would advise is to pull up a ammo chart should give you all damage numbers, penetration, class armor effectiveness, etc., so when your looting you know what is worth picking up. If you do continue playing and want to go further into it there is a youtuber called "Jdog the wise" he has fantastic builds for weapons broken down by trader level as well when you get access to flea market. Hope this helps if you decide to continue playing.
Love to see you play an other game that i personnally enjoy its a unique playstyle when you become better you can augment the speed of your playstyle and still come out winning a lot of fight its just the learning part keep up the good video
Would love see you playing as a squad with a couple experienced players, your aim and reflexes are downright impressive, even in an unfamiliar game, bit of friendly coaching and some more experience I could see you being an unstoppable force of nature on woods or labs. You have a great following and I'm sure a colab with Drewski, Pestily, Aculite, 2Lew, Frost and many else would make for some amazing content while MWIII/MW2.5 is getting stale. Been watching you since MW19, happy to see you showcase your skills on a much more interesting game than just whatever the latest cod game is. (All have been downhill since MW19 imo) Always loved your content btw mate :)
Arena is also a good way to get better at the main game. You'll learn what items heal which injuries and what good hotkeys are for them. Also get level 1 workbench in your hideout as fast as possible so that you can use the "edit preset" function for weapons. Bastion dust cover for AKs and the MRS sight would be infinitely better than the sight you were running on factory toward the end of the video.
You can alt + left click things like guns, armor, rigs, helmets, bags, and headphones and it will automatically put it in any available equipment slot. You can hover over an item with your mouse and press your delete key to discard it instead of right clicking and clicking discard. you can rebind this if you want. Your pmc sees out of your right eye so if you are peeking around the left side of an object your enemies may see you first. I would recommend running esmarch or some other heavy bleed stopper outside of your med kit. Fixing a heavy bleed from a medkit takes a big chunk off of the kits overall hp so you may run out of meds a lot quicker in longer fights. only real exception is the grizzly as it has a huge mass of healing potential. The cars price is based on your scav rep, or rep with fence. Killing scavs as a scav lowers this rep, and you can raise it by taking car extracts, doing co-op extracts with scavs as a pmc, surviving raids as a scav, or killing pmcs or traitor scavs as a scav. If you want a bigger secure container you can work towards the punisher quest line. At the end of it you get a 2x4 container. Or you can get kappa ( a 3x4 ) but that requires doing most quests in the game. Use the tarkov wiki for any questions you have about items or quests or maps or keys. If you want to choose what body part you want to heal with meds you have bound on your hotbar you can hold the hotbar number and scroll up/down with your mouse wheel and a popup will appear that will highlight what section you're trying to heal. once the correct body part is highlighted release the hotbar key. you may need to change your hotbar slot keybinds to release instead of press depending on your keybinds for this to work. you can do the same for reloading. Hold R and scroll up/down to select the mag you want to load. Again you may need to change your reload keybind to release instead of press, and it may cause a split second of delay before the reload animation starts. Dropping a backpack full of loot can help you gain more mobility at the beginning of a fight. double tap z to drop your bag with out going into your inventory. It will make noise others can hear. turning/pivoting, reloading, aiming, and healing all make noise that others will hear so dont do these things if you're trying to be sneaky. Ammo makes a big difference on weather you kill things or not in tarkov, and the ballistics chart on the wiki is a relatively understandable glob of information that will help you understand. penetration and flesh damage are the most important stats on ammo, and are not displayed in game. recoil is also helpful but most of the other stats dont significantly effect anything. you want both high pen and flesh damage, but most of the best ammos are not available from traders or the flea market and are craft / find in raid only. Good luck in the raids. I hope tarkov treats you well.
Make sure to swap those helmets and earphones when you kill other players. Those GSSH ones are not great, so swapping for better ones improves audio a whole lot
My first Minecraft experience when
ong minecraft as a noob was hard as hell ngl
and fricking scary
Handler is dream just different mic so sounds different
No lie I feel like handler could be one of those top notch speed runners if he really played it

Sadly the Edge of Darkness version got removed ( AKA the best package 3x3 secure container and max stash).
during my first wipe i upgraded like halfway into the wipe ( started at the start of it) to EoD
Edit: about your point 2, if you play with toggle ads( click RMB) you can setup hold RMB for hold breath.
and use one of your side buttons to turn on/off tactical devices like lights etc and maybe another to weapon inspect etc for malfuctions ( can be press to inspect and release to fix)
And a small extra i would recommend is the UI on the bottom left to be allways on, its shows your stamina ( Arms and legs) but also your walk speed the little speaker icon shows if you are making sound while walking theres ))) coming out of it when you do
if you double tap one you do the quick draw as if you were jammed, and if you rebind all of the double-tap keybinds, they will respond faster.

Always fun watching someone learn the game I’ve tired to get a few of my friends into the game but it’s always “overwhelming”
The musical additions to this video REALLY tie it all together
Dude I’ve been watching you forever but sooo happy to see you trying EFT. Med tip is just always carry light/heavy bleed items like bandages/CATS because otherwise it eats up too much hp from salewas/medkits. With your aim if you stay at it you could become a Tarkov Goat

You've adapted very well to the tarkov environment wich gives you mechanical skill lots of room to shine, wich it certainly does. Your way forward is to learn thru experience wich is always very fun to watch a new and competent player acrew. Looking forward to more tarkov! as for tips:
-consumables and weapons in your rigs/pockets can be hotkeyed by mousing over and pressing a number key (4-0), no need to drag them over.
-Try to find small gaps in fights to heal, you really dont wanna swing with a red thorax, also why you want basic consumables hotkeyed
-Dont worry about getting items for further quests just yet, focus on the ones you have. Especially having a base edition stash
-if you bleed to much your head/thorax will go black, no cmsing that. If you have either head or thorax blacked and take ANY damage to the blacked area you die instantly. This includes getting dehydrated/no energy
Welcome to pain, misery, confusion, and addiction Handler!
I've played since Alpha release, welcome to tarkov handler :)
Hey Handler, I'm glad that you want to get to know one of my favorite games better.
So if I could give a few tips based on your gameplay:
1. To speed up your looting a little, you can use the left ALT key, so the PMC will grab all the items that you don't wear on your PMC character.
2. To assign your hotkeys faster, you can hover over the items you have in your rig or your pockets and press the number you want to assign as a hotkey. This way you can assign hotkeys to items more quickly.
3. In order to drop items more quickly, I would recommend that you assign your Discard button in the key settings. If you are left-handed, I have set it to "
watching someone new to the game learn it is always gun to watch. nice to remember what it was like for us veterans when we were new.
@Handler I don’t know if someone already said it but when it comes to heals in your inventory, you can hover over them with your mouse and then press the number you want to bind them to, that way you don’t have to drag them to the slots at the bottom. Great video though I would love it if these became a regular occurrence on the channel, you’re learning super fast and your aim is already amazing.
I'm begging you this needs to be a series. Tarkov can be a very frustrative game, but it's also a gem although it has flaws.
I've enjoyed watching you play COD, but as someone who enjoys Tarkov over COD, i'd just love to see you play and learn.
Just don't give up, i'm sure you'll catch up in no time !
Love the calm and engaging commentary, it’s a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to the next Tarkov adventure!
Awesome seeing Handler share the pain of Tarkov! All the lows of this game can be punishing, but the highs are unmatched. Keep it up, love to see you learn this. Also Jesse Kazam has a fantastic beginner video. Its very long but he has it broken into sections, highly recommend.
Would love to see more of this, can’t wait till you get to flea and see the gun modification, also,for that med bug have you tried switching to the health tab to show your hit points and then tried to click ans drag the heals there idk if that would work but it’s worth a shot, also you can vault things now if you hold space bar
You can buy more space for your pouch if you upgrade your game version on their website. It’s 100 USD on top of the 50 you already paid, and it really makes a hugeee difference, sure someone has already put you on. Definitely worth it if you plan on making more content. Good luck love the cod and eft content.
The cheese cannot cure bleeds or fix fractures but it can restore health to a body part, the higher tiers can remove those debuffs but usually at high expenses to their durability, when you get a larger secure container it is good to bring in a grizzly medkit. Injectors can also help a lot when you finally unlock them and can get them consistently, they can be stored in an injector case.
Would love to see you play some with Jack and Tomo!
For the meds set up to deal with injuries mid-gun fight, a good beginning set up is to have an AI-2 and tourniquets in your hotbar since those cover most of the bases except light bleeds, which aren't as lethal and can be dealt with by most medkits(salewa, IFAK, AFAK, etc.) that you might put in your container as back up.
Tourniquets are essential because heavy bleeds kill you fasts. Typically, two tourniquets(Esmersh from Therapist, or CAT from Peacekeeper) are enough to cover what you need until you leave the raid or loot more from your kill. You can run painkillers in your hotbar too to quickly get mobility back mid-fight, or just have them in your container if you want to save on some roubles.
Priority for status is basically heavy bleed if the fight is done, or painkiller if you're still in a fight and need to regain mobility. Then light bleed and HP healing, depending on which is more urgent. Then fractures(Splint) or zeroed limbs(Surgery kits). Always try to save your thorax or head before it hits zero if you can because you can't use surgery kits on those, and any additional damage to blacked out head/thorax means instant death.
If you look up Gigabeef's channel, he has a keybind guide on more effective healing hotbar keybinds, and more effective keybind and other guides in general. Otherwise, keep up the good work! I'm excited to see you learn and tackle this game.
Always love when Handler plays more than just cod, some variety is always great.
As someone who played this game for 2500+ hours and for multiple wipes, i have seen the best and worst wipes of this game. Im glad you decided to give this game a try during its best wipe so far, and i wish you luck and success in learning the game, may Nikita Buyanov himself be on your side
If there ever was a time to get into tarkov rn, it would be this wipe. Recoil is way less than before and clearly manageable already by you. Love the vids
Oh my god. I was just thinking about what it would be like to see Slayed play Tarkov, and now Handler is actually playing it... anyone else think he might convince Slayed to play it too?
yep, we need Slayed to try this ( or even just Arena)
ive heard a rumor that one of the Faze Agony twins is also making a vid on tarkov,
I how immersive this game is, and handler, as chill as he is is so pleasant to watch on this game
I love seeing people play the game for the first time, hope you stick around tarkov!
Hey Hendler! Love the video! One quick tip, I can give you is that you can bind to heels to one button. You can make one be press of button 5, and one be release of button 5. You make the first one your heavy bleed, like a Kallick, then the secondary one is a grizzly.
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG 😭
AND I KNEW YOU WERE A MASOCHIST
EFT is about the dream highs and brutal lows, if you are going to play make sure to share the lows as well .. its part of the experience of Tarkov.
would love to see Tarkov content long term! Great video.
niceee this is what i want from Handler. keep up with tarkov content and also try to play with Aculite
It’s so awesome to see you playing my favorite game! I always forget how confusing this game was when I first started. Put in some time and you’ll get the hang of map knowledge and general game knowledge. Your aim is obviously already there lol. Keep grinding bro! I’m here for it.
Super awesome to see you going to all these other games! Huge fan of Tarkov and The Finals so I really hope you keep these up.
Hell yeah Handler. I would look forward to seeing your specific take on this game!
Can’t wait for this journey! Love this insanely frustrating but rewarding game!
So awesome to see you play Tarkov! If you'd like some helpful tips for healing I'd say first, use your med kits for light bleeds and heavy bleeds only in an emergency. Bring some esmarches and bandages in raid to heal heavy and light bleeds before using your ifaks, afaks, salewas, etc. You can always buy the bandages back from Therapist at Level 1, unlike the med kits which you can't until you unlock the Flea Market or you level up Therapist, so you don't have to worry about losing those bandages in raid if you die. Just keep the Med kits in your alpha container if possible. Next, the parts that can never be healed when blacked out are your head, and your thorax. All others can be used with a CMS or survival kit. Always heal your bleeds before using your cms or survival kit. Another great tip is if you are near an area you may engage in a fight, take a painkiller. In case you engage with someone and you take a lot of damage and may need to run or escape, you'll be happy you took it beforehand.
Escape From Tarkov too?!
Love the game variety you’ve been selecting as of late Ryan.
Just comes to show how talent you are at any game you pick up, and come running in full-determination.
Good aim, tactical knowledge, and spatial awareness. 🔥❤️
A new era has just unleashed. Glad to see you play this game man.
Would love to see more of the looting footage after you kill a squad. A huge part of the endorphin rush in tarkov is the juicy loot
Always interested in seeing how skills in one shooter translates to another. You've got excellent aim and awareness so you'll undoubtedly do well in the shooting aspect. But, with what little I've played of Tarkov it's an entire different beast. Map awareness, looting, supplies etc. I do hope you continue to play and make a series along with your CoD uploads.
Never even heard of this game but I absolutely enjoyed watching the gameplay! Please post more!!!! Thank you!😊
I will always been subscribed to you Ryan. I've been watching you since 2020. Much love to you bro
Some inventory tips, its very useful to bind a button to quick drop items, I use one of the buttons on my mouse, anytime you need to drop a gun or armor or something you can just hover over it and click that button to drop it instantly instead of using the right click menu. Along with that when binding stuff like meds to hotkeys you can just hover over them and press the hotkey you want to bind it to as long as they are in your pockets or rig. Good luck out there!
Great to see you play tarkov! Since you asked for some tips:
-you can mantle now by holding spacebar
-always heal heavy bleeds as soon as possible as they drain your health really fast, ideally with an esmarch or calok-b because they use up a lot of hp from salewas/afaks
-fix your blacked out stomach quickly because it will drain your hunger and thirst
-use third party maps it helps a lot
also the reload bug is so annoying I had that twice now, if you can alt f4 and rejoin that usually fixes it
Esmarch (1 use), CAT hemostatic (1 use) and CALOK-B (3 use's) to stop heavy bleeding. You should bring at least two esmarch's or CAT's or just one CALOK every raid. Love that you're playing this game!
CAT Hemostatic tourniquets can be bought from Peacekeeper Level 1 for pennies and are single use heavy bleed cures! Bring at least one early wipe. Using meds that heal health and status effects use A LOT of durability and are better used to heal body parts. For the alpha container, I recommend having a CMS kit and Aluminum splint. Leave the last slot for high value loot or ammo to load mags. You can also press the hotkey you want while hovering over meds to put them on the hotbar. Have fun and I look forward to seeing you get comfortable with Tarkov!!
I’m sure it’s said somewhere, but people love to see the loot at the end of the raid or even during. A good tip is to bind the discard key to something easy to reach
Glad more ppl are getting into tarkov. Tips for picking out pmcs vs scavs. Look at pants and shoes. Most pmcs have a pistol holster on leg. Also player scavs will often hit F1 to do a voiceline. If footsteps you hear dont respond with a russian voiceline they are likely pmc
handler if you dont start playing this everyday it doesnt get boring until your 3rd wipe that means you have 2 years of good content i will watch regardless i love you
tarkov is fun this wipe, glad you trying it
More Tarkov please! Maybe some more duos with experienced players too, the learning experience would be fun to watch
As far as med tips, they just added a new system where you can hold down your med key and use your scroll wheel to select which body part to heal. So say your cheese kit is hotkeyed to 4, you can hold 4, scroll down to your thorax, then let go of 4 to heal it without going into the menu. I’m still not used to using it myself yet, but it’s definitely really useful. Thorax, head, stomach, legs, and then arms is the priority you want to heal things in usually if you have to do it quickly. Thorax is so important a lot of players will try to get to cover and heal it even in the middle of a fight.
I've been commenting on some of your videos for years asking you to play this. Crazy you've just got round to it
I started playing this game in early alpha. The new wipe with recoil changes has made it more enjoyable. It definitely a pain to learn. But hitting them highs is what keeps me coming back to the game, but god damn the lows of the game hurt so much. Glad you have the same feeling. Also I would check out the escape from Tarkov wiki as it has a lot of good information relating to ammo, quest, maps, spawn locations and a lot more.
Edit: more Tarkov videos please, as it cool to see people learn the game, hope you can keep enjoying it!
Some tips for healing.
Prioritize getting rid of heavy bleeds first then broken bones then rest (CMS for blacked out limbs>Light bleeds imo)
If youre overwhelmed with what to use, just use a grizzly in your pouch (most people wont agree but it pretty much fixes everything except blacked out limbs)
Painkillers are good to use before a fight but try using vaseline if you have any instead of pills because of the dehydration pills give compared to vaseline
if you find any stims make sure to stash them in your pouch as they can either be very expensive or very useful
also painkillers can help with getting to extract quick if you have brpoken bones or blacked out limbs and have to get out asap (the damage taken whilst doing it is not that bad unless the distance is long, if so walk most of the way and sprint if necessary)
And as a bonus, try out shotguns with express buckshot or 5.25 buckshot. Makes many fights quicker and easier
Always wanna bring a cms or surv12 kit to repair blacked out limbs. You can double click meds/food items to use them from inventory.
Oh boy! Pretty hype for the eventual dynamic Handler Aculite duos.
Too didn’t think to see you in EFT keep up the content can’t wait for more videos
Commenting because I always love to see more Tarkov content, especially high quality stuff like this!
ive been playing Tarkov for 5 years and its still a learning process and always challenging
love to see more tarkov videos also cant remember where exactly it is in settings but i can change your character in the top left corner color from grey to green and the more damage you take it will then, go to yellow, then orange, then red gives you better awareness of which limbs are the most damage. One more tip i would advise is to pull up a ammo chart should give you all damage numbers, penetration, class armor effectiveness, etc., so when your looting you know what is worth picking up. If you do continue playing and want to go further into it there is a youtuber called "Jdog the wise" he has fantastic builds for weapons broken down by trader level as well when you get access to flea market. Hope this helps if you decide to continue playing.
I'm currently learning it as well. Massive learning curve
keep going, i subbed for cod content but i mostly play tarkov now and watching you play is super entertaining
yesssss bro i’ve been waiting for you to play this game!!! Hopefully you enjoy it and post more of it ! love the vids
I have been watching you since mw2 and I glad to see you try out tarkov I hope to see more vids of this game!
Please continue if you enjoy the game. I would love to see more
Love to see you play an other game that i personnally enjoy its a unique playstyle when you become better you can augment the speed of your playstyle and still come out winning a lot of fight its just the learning part keep up the good video
Hes gonna become cracked u know it
Cod and tarkov are the 2 I love watching. Please do more!
Would love see you playing as a squad with a couple experienced players, your aim and reflexes are downright impressive, even in an unfamiliar game, bit of friendly coaching and some more experience I could see you being an unstoppable force of nature on woods or labs. You have a great following and I'm sure a colab with Drewski, Pestily, Aculite, 2Lew, Frost and many else would make for some amazing content while MWIII/MW2.5 is getting stale. Been watching you since MW19, happy to see you showcase your skills on a much more interesting game than just whatever the latest cod game is. (All have been downhill since MW19 imo) Always loved your content btw mate :)
Please post more Tarkov! This game is so good with so much to learn and explore!
Please do more with Aculite! Let him show you the ropes!
I love when Handler disappears for a couple of days and comes back with maximum quality❤
Dude I would love seeing you play this. Tarkov is so fun and your a god at fps. Perfect combo
Insane that you haven’t delved into Tarkov before this you will love it
Wow never thought I would see this! Glad you’re playing Tarkov. It’s very fun! Just be careful of hackers.
Arena is also a good way to get better at the main game. You'll learn what items heal which injuries and what good hotkeys are for them. Also get level 1 workbench in your hideout as fast as possible so that you can use the "edit preset" function for weapons. Bastion dust cover for AKs and the MRS sight would be infinitely better than the sight you were running on factory toward the end of the video.
or the new pilgrim dustcover for the AKSU ( its basically the bastion for those AKs
Love the change of pace.
I would love to see more handler tarkov videos. I want to see you progress man
You can alt + left click things like guns, armor, rigs, helmets, bags, and headphones and it will automatically put it in any available equipment slot. You can hover over an item with your mouse and press your delete key to discard it instead of right clicking and clicking discard. you can rebind this if you want. Your pmc sees out of your right eye so if you are peeking around the left side of an object your enemies may see you first. I would recommend running esmarch or some other heavy bleed stopper outside of your med kit. Fixing a heavy bleed from a medkit takes a big chunk off of the kits overall hp so you may run out of meds a lot quicker in longer fights. only real exception is the grizzly as it has a huge mass of healing potential. The cars price is based on your scav rep, or rep with fence. Killing scavs as a scav lowers this rep, and you can raise it by taking car extracts, doing co-op extracts with scavs as a pmc, surviving raids as a scav, or killing pmcs or traitor scavs as a scav. If you want a bigger secure container you can work towards the punisher quest line. At the end of it you get a 2x4 container. Or you can get kappa ( a 3x4 ) but that requires doing most quests in the game. Use the tarkov wiki for any questions you have about items or quests or maps or keys. If you want to choose what body part you want to heal with meds you have bound on your hotbar you can hold the hotbar number and scroll up/down with your mouse wheel and a popup will appear that will highlight what section you're trying to heal. once the correct body part is highlighted release the hotbar key. you may need to change your hotbar slot keybinds to release instead of press depending on your keybinds for this to work. you can do the same for reloading. Hold R and scroll up/down to select the mag you want to load. Again you may need to change your reload keybind to release instead of press, and it may cause a split second of delay before the reload animation starts. Dropping a backpack full of loot can help you gain more mobility at the beginning of a fight. double tap z to drop your bag with out going into your inventory. It will make noise others can hear. turning/pivoting, reloading, aiming, and healing all make noise that others will hear so dont do these things if you're trying to be sneaky. Ammo makes a big difference on weather you kill things or not in tarkov, and the ballistics chart on the wiki is a relatively understandable glob of information that will help you understand. penetration and flesh damage are the most important stats on ammo, and are not displayed in game. recoil is also helpful but most of the other stats dont significantly effect anything. you want both high pen and flesh damage, but most of the best ammos are not available from traders or the flea market and are craft / find in raid only. Good luck in the raids. I hope tarkov treats you well.
damn bro, I think you found a second career opportunity, I think you're born for this?!
Make sure to swap those helmets and earphones when you kill other players. Those GSSH ones are not great, so swapping for better ones improves audio a whole lot
glad to see you playing EFT i have loved this game and wondered if you were gonna play it
Would love to see more. The cod to tarkov pipeline is strong
