My only gripe with customs is that when u spawn on the silo side u get so many options to extract and they’re all easy to get to, and then u have big red side where u have one bunker in the corner that’s got like 7 different spots to exit camp
I hate customs with a burning passion. It's just a giant funnel, the entire time, and 90% of the quests seem to be in Dorms, the place every sweaty chad in existence converges to the moment the game starts. Adding the RUAF always being open helped, but... The map is just "Chokepoint: the map."
@@jackbright2125 I liked customs on practically dead servers but I literally just can't solo on them in full lobbies cause there'll be someone at basically every landmark / quest place and usually it'll be a squad or someone will come 3rd party. The map is nice just too many PMC's IMO (+ all the quests in dorms, why...)
@@Kualdir The map is deliberately designed to funnel you into pvp with other players. The problem is that by Tarkov's design, if you fall behind due to work/school/burnout then this becomes cancer as you run into people with way better kits than you do. Also there's people who sit in bushes and stare at quest objectives.
@Jack Bright you dont need to put in a bunch of time to be good use ur brain and u win more fights its not a bad map because people are smart and know how to play the game
@@wingedgravity9742 I am pretty sure that the Guy with class 6 Armor and helmet, armed with m61 is going to win 19 Times out of 20 against a player with normal Gear
My problem with shoreline is the bad spawns, for some reason they decided to spawn players right next each other despite being huge map, also the repetitive quests
Don't forget about the lack of ways to cross the river. The three spots can be easily camped and one spot can camp two of the three crossings. Add in the sniper scav on bunker rock that can glitch into the rock and be unkillable while shooting you through the rock and the lack of cover and good loot at those points and you have a recipe of terrible design. Now, add in the quests and it makes the map required to run a lot and frustrating to play and you get a lot of hate brewing at it. If they just put like cottages with loose loot dotting the open zones and made it feel more alive, it would improve a bit. We need more ways across the river, and we need loot to be worth it to go to such a headache of a map.
I find scavs on the map decently actually if I need to kill scavs and mostly avoid pmcs but god I hate the actual resort. As well as the interchange mall for that matter
Oh yeah and at least for me the resort sweats memorized all the close spawns, meaning if you don’t move the minute you spawn you’re gonna get tapped by m61
@@reedoken6143 ya basically, at least in some of those ( well besides some spawns in reserve and that one spawn in interchange ) you actually have chance to run safe for like 40 sec without getting shots in the open
Another problem with Shorelane is - they nerfed scav spawns into oblivion. You have like 10000 of quests about killing them with shotgun to the head, having scav vest and danding the tango and then devs decided it's great idea to recude scav spawns to none. The peacekeeper questline was the reason i stopped playing this wipe. I literally killed the twice of amount of players and couldn't find any scavs for raids.
as Lighthouse being my regular map to farm roubles, i can say that during night time it's very chill, but you're fucked when you realize that sometimes rogues can spawn on the expansion But at least you can farm the rogues with just a scav pistol and get some cash selling their guns to mechanic
Honestly that's why I like lighthouse If I get one tapped on a different map I just go in as a scav and get most of my stuff back A decent or good backpack A good AK, M4 or a Scar Lvl 3 or 4 armor/helmet
I scavved loothouse a few days ago at night and got to rogue camp with it being completely unlooted, found a ghzel and a thor and then hit a landmine and coulnd't get to extract. fml I normally am just fine at avoiding mines.
@@guardianexe_30 Learn map routes for efficiency, as a lot of people said Lighthouse is pretty good for this. So go on youtube and find the best "Scav runs" that you're comfortable with. Nighttime raids are great as well because people generally don't go night time for PVP, they go for getting rubbles and tasks.
I feel like the only thing shoreline needs to be worth playing is either alittle more loot outside of resort (like the sunken village, or power station) or something on the radio tower side like the military camp on woods.
Woods is the best map. It's the only map that doesn't have a forced bottleneck where campers can easily get you as you try to cross from one side of the map to the other as you normally would to get to extract. If you want to loot in peace, there is around 25 stashes give or take, all mostly hidden in the middle of nowhere where you're unlikely to encounter a player. There are still multiple points of interests everywhere that you can easily get to by going through all the trees and bushes giving you protection from campers or from being seen by accident. USEC CAMP, RED TOWER, NIGHT VISION CABIN, EMERCON (med camp), SAWMILL, CONSTRUCTION, VILLAGE, SUNKEN VILLAGE, MOUNTAIN BUNKER. All of those places have enough loot for a solo to pretty much get filled up on and then go to extract. And if you want to PVP, go to sawmill where all the try hards go to fight each other and/or kill the boss. It's a really good map for those who like to snipe and long distance firefights. But close range firefights are still the general norm because points of interests tend to be in small compounds where you'll probably encounter other players looting. It's the most balanced map, and very good for solos trying to actually make money. However unlike any other map, those who main it will basically be one with nature and they'll blend in and get you from God knows where ala Predator. If you're a Chad with a lot of money, bringing a FLIR to woods is a game changer as no one will be able to hide from you in bushes but almost no one brings FLIRS so it's not a big worry.
I went to woods for my moskin quest, at night mind you not on purpose. Killed a guy somehow in a random spot in the threes, got vi plated armor, night googles etc, happy days I though until I tried extracting at car and get ambushed by 3 maxed gear players literally just playing with me.
@@Cyberlockz Yeah that's unlucky. I try to avoid the car extract if I think there's a lot of players left on the map. Usually after 5 to 10 minutes at least one player/team is making his way there.
Shoreline's quests are in the same 3 locations. Which means that most of the players are in the same 3 locations. Also lets not forget that Sanitard spawns in those SAME 3 LOCATIONS. This makes one of Tarkov's largest maps feel smaller than customs.
90% of the map is fields, there was literally no reason for them to expand it to almost double the size and add literally one PoI being the weather station which has essentially nothing, just rip that half off the map off again and its so much better of a map
Dude Interchange used to be my favorite map. Killa is my favorite boss by a significant margin, the loot was insane, there were hundreds of rat routes if you just needed some cash with no risk, and it was overall really comfy to go in with a 3 man! Then they nerfed Kiba into the ground, Ultramed isn't worth it, Techlight literally is a shadow of it's former self, and the big stores have had loose loot nerfed to the point where you can't find the quest items quickly there anymore.
Same, pvp around ultra and kiba used to be really fun, now nobody even bothers going there anymore, most of the players don't even go inside the mall and stay out to farm stashes
@@_VinSi that's the worst part of so many of these maps! Remember sitting up top in dome on reserve and sniping? Remember running around outside of it and fighting from start to finish through every building? All gone since they introduced the underground. Almost every change since I've started playing has been for the worse man it kinda sucks.
@@AyoKeito The fact that labs has less loot than lighthouse scares me, it's supposed to be THE endgame map, you have limited access (3 keycards per restock if you do the basters that cost a shit ton) raiders instead of scavs, extractions that announce to everyone where you are, need money to access it, and yet in 15 minutes on lighthouse you can have around the same loot as a fullraid on labs
this is my first wipe and i can tell reserve will always take a special place in my heart. it took somewhere around 10-15 raids to get comfertoble in customs but the on my second offline raid on reserve i was already comfertable to run raids without a map on my desktop
Yeh reserve is pretty great and super easy to navigate so long as you stay above ground. In the rare instance I do get lost I just check where the dome is.
I remember when Interchange had great lighting and you could actually see from one hallway to another on the second floor. Now it just defies all laws of the way sunlight works. Its like they've never seen or been in an abandoned mall before. Its not dark at all.
Resrve is my all time favorite map, I started playing the wipe they introduced D-2, found an AESA first raid when that cost actual money, the map is great for both ratting and for pvp. I find pvp above ground and below ground, player scavs spawn reasonably most of the time. My only wish is to have an additonal extract, maybe replace scav lands with a flare extract like Streets has
Shoreline really is only enjoyable as a rat since that was the go to map for us in the last wipe. Now it's just me scurrying around on reserve running into other rats and wishing them luck. The Woods placement is dead on since I go there and do horseshoe like route avoiding Sawmill. Also, you got me on calling the Corsair a Spitfire. Both birds are incredibly beautiful and have their own whistle when diving and two of my favorites.
Shoreline is only really fun if you know how to abuse the bad audio of resort (not gonna explain everything but the most important thing is if they are below you, you won't hear shit, if they are above you you'll hear everything) otherwise it's just gonna be a shitfest
The 855 thing is a bug nikita says its fragmentation but it's really a bug. The game calculates how many hits its takes to kill you and instead of shooting the x amount of bullets it shoots once but fires the calculated amount all in 1 bullet....its a bug that has been in the game for years and the devs don't know how to fix it so the LEAD dev lied.
Customs on au servers this wipe has been horrific. Its like if you breathe slightly to hard seven meta chads come out of the ground and spend 60k worth of ammo killing you
Woods is up there as at least an A imo. Great loot in very specific areas: UN camp for meds, USEC camp for gun parts, Saw Mill for the good shit. It has a great boss and very obvious scav spawns if you've played the map a couple times. And the tension I feel when I hear a bush rustle a little bit and have to go Splinter Cell levels of silent to determine what it was are irreplaceable. But that's just my opinion
Man i love Interchange so much, it will be forever my favorite i think. There is something about fighting in a place that is supposed to bring joy, and i love the level design pretty much. It is one of those maps that let you completely ruin the other if your knowledge of the map is better. The loot is sadly really crap, but Killa is my favorite scav boss i think as he stands a challenge, but he is certainly doable, and his helmet and armor are one of the most unique pieces in the game.
I absolutely adore the fact that the average Tarkov player blindly listens to the consensus of opinion, without testing it for themselves. When I played last wipe, Interchange was a ghost town, and I was easily able to make upwards of 30 million just going through Oli and grabbing stuff like aquamaris, propane tanks, fuel tanks, motors etc. The odd graphics card from the pcs sweetened the deal for me, too
Well, I like interchange tbh. Mainly because everyone is going to be rushing the spawns of good loot, *inside the mall* so I just rat around the outskirts collecting the loose loot spawns outside and looting the pharmacy. I don’t tend to run into people that often using this strategy.
i always svav interchange, i find alot of other player scavs and then we head into the mall looking for pmcs, like 1/3 scav raids im fighting pmcs with other scavs its alot of fun
I think it's mainly the weight system that ruined shoreline, it just means that if you survive the health resort you now have to crawl through the empty fields of nothingness towards an extract.
I like shore line. I hate the resort, but like Leviticus said. The smaller version of woods that shoreline has makes it fun to take an AKM with a 4x and sit somewhere as they walk by.
the bunker/underground firefights are one of the reasons why i do scav runs on Reserve. if someone goes down there and finds Raiders, chances are they won't be able to take all of the loot with them. so a scav run, especially a late match scav, is a decent way to just scurry down to the bunker without much hassle. by the end of the raid, most of the PMCs will be gone save for a select few. so you're gonna have an easy time reaching that area. my only issue is that my goblin brain forgets where it is. i see a staircase that goes down, my brain immediately says to go down it, not even realizing i'm going down the wrong staircase.
@3:11 They still have a chance of BP and M855A1 as well as M993. Even if the chance is low it's still a good farm. And while we are them, what you said about them being shit to fight against should apply to every AI in the game. They should use tactical gear more sure but I don't know how they would make AI challenging but fair anymore. If it's not about making an AI be either of those then they are there to draw players in so players fight each other and I think lighthouse does that really well.
I play a lot of interchange but rarely ever enter the mall. I usually just stick around the outside and collect all the stashes on the way from spawn to the extract. It’s been my go to money making method for 4 wipes now as it is extremely low risk and when fast you can average around 400k per raid which only takes 15 minutes
> New wipe, get hyped to play > Have a blast in the early wipe on customs > Quest until you're forced to go Shoreline > Quit, because fuck Shoreline. Repeat for every new wipe
about interchange - you'll make more money walking in underground parking then risking going up nowadays, maybe saferoom is worth trying too but its very random with returns
I’ll be honest, I used to be 100% with you on shoreline being a dogshit map, but lately I’ve been playing so much of it for quests and I gotta say I’ve been having a blast and it’s treated me very well. I’ve been getting hella pvp in the fields on railroad/road to customs side of map that’s been very fun, it can be a very chill map from time to time depending on where you go, maybe my good luck there recently has made me think I like it more than I really do but hell I’m fine with that
big shoreline fan here. I get why people dislike it, but I think it presents a very unique gameplay loop to the other maps. rather than progressing from spawn to extract, gathering loot and fighting or avoiding players, you must book it to the resort and then make a mad dash out with the goods. plus resort PVP is pretty fun. audio is rough, like it is in the rest of the game, but resort is definitely an egregious example of how bad it is, but if you can adapt to it (don't stand by stairs), the resort offers a bigger dorms with more flanking and outplay potential. the repetitive quests are a drag, but I don't hold that against the map, that's just poor quest design by BSG and it could've happened to any of the maps in the game. all in all I think shoreline is a great map done dirty by poor audio design, repetitive quest design, and some spawn issues, which again are systemic issues in the game not limited to shoreline. if you look at the different gameplay loop shoreline offers and the design of the map, rather than the issues which plague all of tarkovs maps, i really do think shoreline is quite good and offers gameplay diversity which is much needed in tarkov. we don't want maps that all play the same or this game that we all like but can become stale and repetitive would get boring even quicker
Or, if you know where to look and have the keys, you can avoid the entirety of the bunkers and get good loot up top. I kid you not, I routinely get 250k+ on Reserve using this strat.
@@hewhoplugwalks Only 250k on reserve? That's basically a scav run. I don't know where you loot but if you have the RB-KPRL you can make 250k just from that.
@@nocommantarygameplay5516 "Only" refers to a 5-10 minute run without hitting any of the higher traffic areas. The most rat of rat runs. Obviously, with a bit more invested time and finesse, you could net more. But I'm a lazy player.
I’d rather fight 12 Killa’s in Factory then go to Customs once. Edit in regards to woods: Playing woods night or just woods in general, I’ve gotten my whole kit back 70% of the time.
Hey man I respect you so much and if it wasn’t you I wouldn’t play eot. Keep on with your good work and some tips it will be nice I mean eot is my first fps I played
The best thing you can get from rogues is a few mags of 762 bp and MAYBE if the stars allign 1 out of 30 will have a lvl5 armor. The rest run around with iron sight guns with ass ammo, still hitting you from 300m away 5 times in a row. Tanking half a mag if it is not a headshot ... but are wearing paca armor
I love Reserve, but u made a good point about surface level. It's been barren ever since they added the underground. I think what could make it better is if Glukhar had some sort of sign that he's in the raid, just like Shturman with his warning shots (and where, like Shturman's shots). If Glukhar wasn't so rare and was more farmable, it could bring a lot of players out of the sewers.
Mr. Levi . I truly enjoy Shoreline, loot is only one reason why. The other is the PVP. If you spawn along the Shoreline or Road to Customs you can usually get a fight in the stretch between the blue fence lot to the Gas Station. With the Capturing Outposts quest you can often times find people at the Pier, going there or watching it from another spot. There's lots of places to snipe from. 3 days ago I caught a guy near the ammo box truck Scavs, close to rock passage sniper scavs. He had a reapir M1A. Anyways if you know the map, rotations and spawns it's not that hard to find a fight or get a kill outside of the resort. It's also easy to avoid fights if you stay out of the resort. When I have a problem finding other players is just when it's a dead raid. And let's be honest, sometimes you get a dead raid on all maps. I love Customs, it's my first love, Shoreline and Factory are split next in line. But even on Factory I've had raids where I was able to avoid PVP, (quests, survivals) because it seemed like everyone else was too.
@@SonOfTheDawn515 Yeah rooms got nerfed in resort it seems but theres still tons of loot throughout the map. I always come out with a full bag often without trying.
This is my first wipe I started playing 1 week before wipe happend witch was nice because I got a good feel for the maps, knowledge on how to begin questing and how pvp feels with the new movement mechanics and now I’m a lvl 40 only blocked from max traders by two levels and am working towards kappa/max hideout I think of all the maps I have found this wipe to make me money as much as light house is very annoying it has provided me the most rubles per hour but the good thing is if you learn all the jager stashes on woods and know good valuable spawns woods is on par with light house and if you pack some pnvgs and do woods at night we’ll you might run into a player once every few raids but if you really know the map you can almost avoid any conflict while still making anywhere of 4-700k rubles and honestly I’ve made more than that before but those are rare circumstances I think woods is a Great map for new players to really learn in depth and feel comfortable on and it makes you a very vigilant player over time
Before this wipe, I used to love farming at the Resort, it was so good to find a LEDX in SanTape, but now, everytime I open that room, I only found sadnass e despair right next to a bounch of nothing and some bandages.
I think friends make shoreline a little bit more bearable (apart from the spawn by the bleu fence. That one always sucks) but I agree that it's pretty terrible.
Reserve- Yes the loot has been significantly nerfed many times but there still is great loot you just have to move around the map. The underground area with the locked gates is great and you easily make 700k+. The K buildings have a couple crates and tech spawns. Both of the knight buildings have really good weapon attachment/part spawns and tech loot. The pawn buildings are stacked with loose loot and they both have armor repair kit spawns. The dome area has 2 safes, 1 Intel spawn, and tech loot. You can easily make 500k if you get dome spawn and take RR extract. Queen and knight are stacked with loot. The bunker command center has raiders which aren't special and plenty of good loot. On your way to D2 there's that server area and the back room has a safe and computer plus the wood thing under the metal platform is an Intel spawn. When walking into the generator room there's a cart at the far left end and another cart on the right side by the door with steps that go down (rat spot) that both spawn high value tech loot. Reserve is by far the best map and it belongs in S++ tier if more people knew how to play it right.
Shoreline enjoyer here. Yeah I like it for the money but running it at night is what I tend to do after work since night time ratting is more fun after a day at work and I don't feel like getting immediately assblasted by the sweatlords. PVP's not bad to me but only if youre fighting from admin to another part of the resort, any of the cottages, or at the pier. Rest of its basically just PVP in woods.
Glad to see woods getting some love. Properly rated. Lighthouse is the only one I disagree with. Insane loot there. Loothouse is a better name for it. I do all of my scav runs there and have racked up millions of rupples so much faster than last wipe. The PvP at lighthouse isn’t bad either
When I first played tarkov, i really enjoyed Shoreline because i would get so lost on maps and i was too low level’d to have a compass and having the shore was always a good reference point so i wouldn’t get lost. My opinion has changed in later wipes but i would be honest to say i had some good times there when i was new.
If you know the stashes locations or just general containers and stuff you can do that in all maps really, but Interchang eain't even good for scav'ing IMO, because everyone and their grandmother scavs in either, lighthouse/interchange and maybe reserve, this is why I personally love scavving customs way more, especially later on in the wipe as people do not loot the good places as much, the stashes run by the mountain are all absolutely free as nobody bothers looting them, for some reason sometimes Stronghold is ignored completely by PMCs and I've found it more than a few times absolutely untouched. Although I guess scavving on Interchange is not the worst currently as it's probably pretty dead apart from people trying to do Long Line
I enjoy more than just looting on shoreline but definitely think the map could have some major improvements. Spawns are kinda bad and the lack of ways to cross the middle of the map can be really frustrating sometimes
As a purely solo player on his first wipe, Shoreline is definitely A shore. (Kill me) Most quests have me go into places I stand no chances, When you finally reach the side of the map you need to do your quest on a chad is going to his exit and just pops you in the back of the head. It's painfull.
Literally this ^^^ Most people do Shoreline quests as a group, which makes running that map as a solo VERY hard, especially since the quests themselves often require you to grab something and make it out alive. And not to mention, a lot of quests there require keys to get into the rooms with the quest items. Keys that can be VERY expensive and being the one who has to buy them all really takes a chunk out of your rouble count. (looking at you, blue tape key).
You had to talk about how terrible woods extracting is though, 2 players get different extracts then everyone else is stuck in outskirts or zb-14 but they're right next to each other so what does it matter anyway
It's my 2nd wipe, and I'm actually trying to do quests and get 42 this wipe Shoreline has been kicking my ass lmao I do not know the lines of sights that people hold so I die a lot when solo but for those who have been playing for yrs I could see how It'd get old
Look. I like i customs as a map. I dunno if this is the same world wide but i see more geared pmcs on customs then all other maps included. And interchange has grown on me. I had a quest to extract 15 times on interchange. Found 5 gpus in those raids
Interchange is unironically my favorite map. I get that the lighting isnt good for pvp but I kinda feel like if you play tarkov for a refined pvp experience then youre kind of special. I love the ambiance and survival horro vibes of Interchange. I also live that I can choose how risky/action packed I want my raid to be.
I totally dig Shoreline. Mix of Customs and Woods? Yeah, I see that and as with both of those maps, the points you made, is a reason I main Shoreline. Want to just get quests done and not interact with anyone else? Shoreline allows that. Want to just hop on and slaughter or be slaughtered? Yep, Resort has that. I watch your vids often, relatable thought process about items in the game and entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Out of the 100 raids I have on shoreline, I cant remember a single time I didnt die by a random sniper just sitting somewhere. It's A sniper heaven, and I personally find it distasteful. so many quests force you to literally hug the shoreline, creating forced interaction with 0 counterplay. way too much dead space with no loot, basically running simulator. Shoreline is the only map I *know* that if my stomach gets blacked, im gonna starve. not enough food spawns, too far to run.
Well i love the fact that i ended up the video thinking "Aw it was a short video, only lasted 7 mins or so" ...and then realized it was a 20 mins long video lol you made the time fly! Btw I love interchange, do i have problems? Lol
@@brianpearce4647 To be honest, is my fav map too! For all the reasons you said! The only bad part is exit camping, but is not that common anymore, probably because people think the loot is terrible, but if you know the spots, is not that bad! I mean, worst case scenario you can get a few goldchains and some random stuff, making easy 150/200K without the need to fight anyone lol
@@AyoKeito i mean, not really my tarkov is probably a little more bright then default 0, but not enough to blind me in outdoor zones or anything lol, after all... Dorms is also pretty fucking dark lol
Heres my tier list, which many people will hate: 1) interchange 2) factory 3) woods 4) streets 5) lighthouse 6) customs 7) reserve 8) labs 9) not playing the game 10) shoreline For interchange I do weird shit, and its a great loot hole. Factory and woods are really tied. Factory I like pvp, and woods i like sniping and also being the crazy one that pushes emercom with 7.62x39 drum mag and korund. Streets is great, I havent had a bad raid yet, though ive only done like 5 or 6. Lighthouse I like farming rogues. Customs is OG but late wipe it gets too sweaty, and frankly I just dont like the map. Dorms is the exception, I loooove getting dorky on dorms. Reserve I like the map, I just die 90% of raids I do there and every extract is clogged with extract campers. I WOULD love labs but its filled to the brim with cheaters. I would literally rather do anything than play shoreline.
Shoreline is either a great map or a terrible map for me. I genuinely enjoy the PvP I have there, but actually getting engagements can be hard and the scavs seem to absolutely demolish my retinas with buckshot.
Considering most of the 'I hate buckshot scavs' and 'nerf buckshot scavs' comments/posts I've seen are from people who got killed on Shoreline, I'd say that last part checks out. Shoreline buckshot scavs hit different.
Kinda love hate relationship with shoreline. I mean I like resort pvp and loot in late game, but rest of it is garbage (keep runnin like idiot from one empty vast plain to another). Also I love the two raids in which I manage to complete like dozen tasks in each, survive 'em and reap the 6 pmc levels I get for those early game. Rest is spot on. Customs is forever my favourite.
Well, if to speak about rogues, most of rogues i killed, they usualy had 7.62x39 weapons, AND BP ammo. 5.56x45 and 7.62x51 weapons almost always spawn with shitty ammo tho. (OMG Nikita tries to make 7.62x39 weapons even more viable (It's a joke)) And yes, shoreline and interchange (nighttime) are good tfor A)farming money B)killing scavs C) Fighting PMCs
I feel like lighthouse has the same problem of shoreline and interchange. Scavs spawn inside the points of interest within 2 minutes of map start, there is a VAST amount of nothing where the 'flow' of all PMC spawns is predictable, and there is a significant amount of chokepoint potential. The main road is a no-go zone for obvious reasons, the bridge to lighthouse proper is just as exposed, and the chokepoints near water treatment force 1 of 3 routes (waterline, old village crossing, mountain path) which are all campable. The 'reward' for making it to water treatment in a timely manner is an industrial area where the rogues make normal movement and pvp inside the facility a nightmare. I understand that controlling flow and creating chokepoints is intended to drive PVP, but there is a difference between "fun pvp" where both sides are engaging in content and "head eyes from a bush 100m out" or "lul you died to AI laser beam from a rooftop". Woods, by comparison, has later scav spawn timers which allow the PMC's to move about for long enough to get things done. It also is wide-enough with enough concealment and caches and random loot that a player could reasonably be expected to be 'anywhere'. I think that is the magic of woods, players have a legitimate reason to be anywhere on the map, whether they are transitioning from POI to POI, or moving toward extracts, or hanging out in a scav hut looking for loot. Shoreline and Lighthouse do not have that, they are like... empty foot-traffic highways that conduct players directly from point A to point B with very little reason for exploring, even the hidden caches are mostly inside those paths.
Interchange is so bad, I get extract camped and spawnkilled the most in that shitty ass map. I also can’t avoid it because I’m force to do my task their. The devs need to add another extract or lower the player count by 2.
I don't know if I went crazy after playing this game for a few hundred hours but I actually like Shoreline (only the resort tho). I like the verticality and the pure crazyness of the pvp. The sounds f*cking suck tho I think we can all agree on that.
Scav enthusiast here little tip run woods and hit up stashes or loose loot in areas people don’t usually go you can make serious money only with a scav that has a backpack tho
As a scav main, I almost only go to interchange to loot Oli, I’m not sure if people understand the value of water filters but I can find up to 5 a raid and at least one a raid, picking up any items that are worth 10k or more to traders and leaving asap has gotten me 20mil
I do love shoreline, not because its a good map, but because its a money farm without resistance, a rats wet dream.. aslong as you spawn on the swamp side

I hate customs with a burning passion. It's just a giant funnel, the entire time, and 90% of the quests seem to be in Dorms, the place every sweaty chad in existence converges to the moment the game starts. Adding the RUAF always being open helped, but... The map is just "Chokepoint: the map."

The map is nice just too many PMC's IMO (+ all the quests in dorms, why...)
@@Kualdir The map is deliberately designed to funnel you into pvp with other players.
The problem is that by Tarkov's design, if you fall behind due to work/school/burnout then this becomes cancer as you run into people with way better kits than you do.
Also there's people who sit in bushes and stare at quest objectives.
@Jack Bright you dont need to put in a bunch of time to be good use ur brain and u win more fights its not a bad map because people are smart and know how to play the game
@@wingedgravity9742 I am pretty sure that the Guy with class 6 Armor and helmet, armed with m61 is going to win 19 Times out of 20 against a player with normal Gear
My problem with shoreline is the bad spawns, for some reason they decided to spawn players right next each other despite being huge map, also the repetitive quests
Don't forget about the lack of ways to cross the river. The three spots can be easily camped and one spot can camp two of the three crossings. Add in the sniper scav on bunker rock that can glitch into the rock and be unkillable while shooting you through the rock and the lack of cover and good loot at those points and you have a recipe of terrible design. Now, add in the quests and it makes the map required to run a lot and frustrating to play and you get a lot of hate brewing at it. If they just put like cottages with loose loot dotting the open zones and made it feel more alive, it would improve a bit. We need more ways across the river, and we need loot to be worth it to go to such a headache of a map.
I find scavs on the map decently actually if I need to kill scavs and mostly avoid pmcs but god I hate the actual resort. As well as the interchange mall for that matter
Oh yeah and at least for me the resort sweats memorized all the close spawns, meaning if you don’t move the minute you spawn you’re gonna get tapped by m61
oh you mean like the spawn issues that also exist on interchange, reserve, and lighthouse?
@@reedoken6143 ya basically, at least in some of those ( well besides some spawns in reserve and that one spawn in interchange ) you actually have chance to run safe for like 40 sec without getting shots in the open
Another problem with Shorelane is - they nerfed scav spawns into oblivion. You have like 10000 of quests about killing them with shotgun to the head, having scav vest and danding the tango and then devs decided it's great idea to recude scav spawns to none. The peacekeeper questline was the reason i stopped playing this wipe. I literally killed the twice of amount of players and couldn't find any scavs for raids.
as Lighthouse being my regular map to farm roubles, i can say that during night time it's very chill, but you're fucked when you realize that sometimes rogues can spawn on the expansion
But at least you can farm the rogues with just a scav pistol and get some cash selling their guns to mechanic
Honestly that's why I like lighthouse
If I get one tapped on a different map I just go in as a scav and get most of my stuff back
A decent or good backpack
A good AK, M4 or a Scar
Lvl 3 or 4 armor/helmet
I scavved loothouse a few days ago at night and got to rogue camp with it being completely unlooted, found a ghzel and a thor and then hit a landmine and coulnd't get to extract. fml I normally am just fine at avoiding mines.
What's the best way to farm roubles? i'm pretty new so i apologise if this is a stupid question
@@guardianexe_30 Learn map routes for efficiency, as a lot of people said Lighthouse is pretty good for this. So go on youtube and find the best "Scav runs" that you're comfortable with. Nighttime raids are great as well because people generally don't go night time for PVP, they go for getting rubbles and tasks.
@@reyalskrad1 Thanks! i'll look into that.
I feel like the only thing shoreline needs to be worth playing is either alittle more loot outside of resort (like the sunken village, or power station) or something on the radio tower side like the military camp on woods.
Just finished watching the evolution of a roleplayer.
Perfect timing as always Levi
Woods is the best map. It's the only map that doesn't have a forced bottleneck where campers can easily get you as you try to cross from one side of the map to the other as you normally would to get to extract. If you want to loot in peace, there is around 25 stashes give or take, all mostly hidden in the middle of nowhere where you're unlikely to encounter a player. There are still multiple points of interests everywhere that you can easily get to by going through all the trees and bushes giving you protection from campers or from being seen by accident. USEC CAMP, RED TOWER, NIGHT VISION CABIN, EMERCON (med camp), SAWMILL, CONSTRUCTION, VILLAGE, SUNKEN VILLAGE, MOUNTAIN BUNKER. All of those places have enough loot for a solo to pretty much get filled up on and then go to extract.
And if you want to PVP, go to sawmill where all the try hards go to fight each other and/or kill the boss. It's a really good map for those who like to snipe and long distance firefights. But close range firefights are still the general norm because points of interests tend to be in small compounds where you'll probably encounter other players looting. It's the most balanced map, and very good for solos trying to actually make money. However unlike any other map, those who main it will basically be one with nature and they'll blend in and get you from God knows where ala Predator. If you're a Chad with a lot of money, bringing a FLIR to woods is a game changer as no one will be able to hide from you in bushes but almost no one brings FLIRS so it's not a big worry.
My buddy and I main woods... He just clapped a loser with a G28, using M993, and a FLIR. My buddy was using ADAR with M855 and me a shotgun. 🤷♂️
it used to have THE bottleneck. but the expansion really fixed the map
I went to woods for my moskin quest, at night mind you not on purpose. Killed a guy somehow in a random spot in the threes, got vi plated armor, night googles etc, happy days I though until I tried extracting at car and get ambushed by 3 maxed gear players literally just playing with me.
@@Cyberlockz Yeah that's unlucky. I try to avoid the car extract if I think there's a lot of players left on the map. Usually after 5 to 10 minutes at least one player/team is making his way there.
Shoreline's quests are in the same 3 locations. Which means that most of the players are in the same 3 locations. Also lets not forget that Sanitard spawns in those SAME 3 LOCATIONS. This makes one of Tarkov's largest maps feel smaller than customs.
90% of the map is fields, there was literally no reason for them to expand it to almost double the size and add literally one PoI being the weather station which has essentially nothing, just rip that half off the map off again and its so much better of a map
man i wish interchange was better, definitely my favorite map. best atmosphere without a doubt.
I love the mall, hate the outside, hate extracts being a mile away, hate the spawns etc.
Dude Interchange used to be my favorite map. Killa is my favorite boss by a significant margin, the loot was insane, there were hundreds of rat routes if you just needed some cash with no risk, and it was overall really comfy to go in with a 3 man! Then they nerfed Kiba into the ground, Ultramed isn't worth it, Techlight literally is a shadow of it's former self, and the big stores have had loose loot nerfed to the point where you can't find the quest items quickly there anymore.
Same, pvp around ultra and kiba used to be really fun, now nobody even bothers going there anymore, most of the players don't even go inside the mall and stay out to farm stashes
@@_VinSi that's the worst part of so many of these maps! Remember sitting up top in dome on reserve and sniping? Remember running around outside of it and fighting from start to finish through every building? All gone since they introduced the underground.
Almost every change since I've started playing has been for the worse man it kinda sucks.
I feel like all maps other than lighthouse have shit loot and that is a problem.
@@AyoKeito The fact that labs has less loot than lighthouse scares me, it's supposed to be THE endgame map, you have limited access (3 keycards per restock if you do the basters that cost a shit ton) raiders instead of scavs, extractions that announce to everyone where you are, need money to access it, and yet in 15 minutes on lighthouse you can have around the same loot as a fullraid on labs
this is my first wipe and i can tell reserve will always take a special place in my heart. it took somewhere around 10-15 raids to get comfertoble in customs but the on my second offline raid on reserve i was already comfertable to run raids without a map on my desktop
Yeh reserve is pretty great and super easy to navigate so long as you stay above ground. In the rare instance I do get lost I just check where the dome is.
I remember when Interchange had great lighting and you could actually see from one hallway to another on the second floor. Now it just defies all laws of the way sunlight works. Its like they've never seen or been in an abandoned mall before. Its not dark at all.
Always been bad lighting never changed it
dont even mention the lights that go out when you get too close to them.
Resrve is my all time favorite map, I started playing the wipe they introduced D-2, found an AESA first raid when that cost actual money, the map is great for both ratting and for pvp. I find pvp above ground and below ground, player scavs spawn reasonably most of the time. My only wish is to have an additonal extract, maybe replace scav lands with a flare extract like Streets has
The Lighthouse Island is insane. If you have conference room and marked key you can get half a mil with each haul, if you have the space
Streets of tarkov is going to take another 3 years to come out... That aged poorly 😂
Speaking of the whole factory thing as a 5 man, i once did that with a squad. And that one person killed all 5 of us it was not a good day.
Shoreline really is only enjoyable as a rat since that was the go to map for us in the last wipe. Now it's just me scurrying around on reserve running into other rats and wishing them luck. The Woods placement is dead on since I go there and do horseshoe like route avoiding Sawmill. Also, you got me on calling the Corsair a Spitfire. Both birds are incredibly beautiful and have their own whistle when diving and two of my favorites.
Shoreline is only really fun if you know how to abuse the bad audio of resort (not gonna explain everything but the most important thing is if they are below you, you won't hear shit, if they are above you you'll hear everything) otherwise it's just gonna be a shitfest
Amazing tierlist Levi, keep it up
The 855 thing is a bug nikita says its fragmentation but it's really a bug. The game calculates how many hits its takes to kill you and instead of shooting the x amount of bullets it shoots once but fires the calculated amount all in 1 bullet....its a bug that has been in the game for years and the devs don't know how to fix it so the LEAD dev lied.
holy shit what
@@jadonlimoges1830 55a1 has like 37% fragmentation chance and the way fragmentation damage is calculated has been “bugged” for years
Hmm yes i would like to pay full price for a buggy beta
@@ApocalypseMoose full price game is 60 bucks, the tarkov most people purchase costs much more
"I'm not going to Shorline"
- Leviticus
Damn I felt that in my soul
Customs on au servers this wipe has been horrific. Its like if you breathe slightly to hard seven meta chads come out of the ground and spend 60k worth of ammo killing you
Just 60k?
Its always a good day when leviticus uploads a new video
Woods is up there as at least an A imo. Great loot in very specific areas: UN camp for meds, USEC camp for gun parts, Saw Mill for the good shit. It has a great boss and very obvious scav spawns if you've played the map a couple times. And the tension I feel when I hear a bush rustle a little bit and have to go Splinter Cell levels of silent to determine what it was are irreplaceable. But that's just my opinion
Woods is great, it's my go to PvE and rat map. I got like 18 grizzlies within my first 3 days by farming the med camp.
Don't stop man. Love you're content and knowledge of the game.
Man i love Interchange so much, it will be forever my favorite i think. There is something about fighting in a place that is supposed to bring joy, and i love the level design pretty much. It is one of those maps that let you completely ruin the other if your knowledge of the map is better. The loot is sadly really crap, but Killa is my favorite scav boss i think as he stands a challenge, but he is certainly doable, and his helmet and armor are one of the most unique pieces in the game.
I absolutely adore the fact that the average Tarkov player blindly listens to the consensus of opinion, without testing it for themselves. When I played last wipe, Interchange was a ghost town, and I was easily able to make upwards of 30 million just going through Oli and grabbing stuff like aquamaris, propane tanks, fuel tanks, motors etc. The odd graphics card from the pcs sweetened the deal for me, too
I looted hundreds of pcs and never found A single graphics card in them, I found more graphics cards in duffle bags.
Well, I like interchange tbh. Mainly because everyone is going to be rushing the spawns of good loot, *inside the mall* so I just rat around the outskirts collecting the loose loot spawns outside and looting the pharmacy. I don’t tend to run into people that often using this strategy.
I do interchange early morning irl (2 to 6 am) and its usually quiet as it gets
@@jadonlimoges1830 dude I don’t even see people half the time when I play interchange in the middle of the night/early morning
i always svav interchange, i find alot of other player scavs and then we head into the mall looking for pmcs, like 1/3 scav raids im fighting pmcs with other scavs its alot of fun
Ngl that dbl tap joke was pretty funny lmfao good video
I think it's mainly the weight system that ruined shoreline, it just means that if you survive the health resort you now have to crawl through the empty fields of nothingness towards an extract.
I like shore line. I hate the resort, but like Leviticus said. The smaller version of woods that shoreline has makes it fun to take an AKM with a 4x and sit somewhere as they walk by.
woods feels like a horror game with guns
the bunker/underground firefights are one of the reasons why i do scav runs on Reserve. if someone goes down there and finds Raiders, chances are they won't be able to take all of the loot with them. so a scav run, especially a late match scav, is a decent way to just scurry down to the bunker without much hassle. by the end of the raid, most of the PMCs will be gone save for a select few. so you're gonna have an easy time reaching that area. my only issue is that my goblin brain forgets where it is. i see a staircase that goes down, my brain immediately says to go down it, not even realizing i'm going down the wrong staircase.
@3:11 They still have a chance of BP and M855A1 as well as M993. Even if the chance is low it's still a good farm.
And while we are them, what you said about them being shit to fight against should apply to every AI in the game. They should use tactical gear more sure but I don't know how they would make AI challenging but fair anymore. If it's not about making an AI be either of those then they are there to draw players in so players fight each other and I think lighthouse does that really well.
I play a lot of interchange but rarely ever enter the mall. I usually just stick around the outside and collect all the stashes on the way from spawn to the extract. It’s been my go to money making method for 4 wipes now as it is extremely low risk and when fast you can average around 400k per raid which only takes 15 minutes
> New wipe, get hyped to play
> Have a blast in the early wipe on customs
> Quest until you're forced to go Shoreline
> Quit, because fuck Shoreline.
Repeat for every new wipe
about interchange - you'll make more money walking in underground parking then risking going up nowadays, maybe saferoom is worth trying too but its very random with returns
I’ll be honest, I used to be 100% with you on shoreline being a dogshit map, but lately I’ve been playing so much of it for quests and I gotta say I’ve been having a blast and it’s treated me very well. I’ve been getting hella pvp in the fields on railroad/road to customs side of map that’s been very fun, it can be a very chill map from time to time depending on where you go, maybe my good luck there recently has made me think I like it more than I really do but hell I’m fine with that
big shoreline fan here. I get why people dislike it, but I think it presents a very unique gameplay loop to the other maps. rather than progressing from spawn to extract, gathering loot and fighting or avoiding players, you must book it to the resort and then make a mad dash out with the goods. plus resort PVP is pretty fun. audio is rough, like it is in the rest of the game, but resort is definitely an egregious example of how bad it is, but if you can adapt to it (don't stand by stairs), the resort offers a bigger dorms with more flanking and outplay potential.
the repetitive quests are a drag, but I don't hold that against the map, that's just poor quest design by BSG and it could've happened to any of the maps in the game.
all in all I think shoreline is a great map done dirty by poor audio design, repetitive quest design, and some spawn issues, which again are systemic issues in the game not limited to shoreline. if you look at the different gameplay loop shoreline offers and the design of the map, rather than the issues which plague all of tarkovs maps, i really do think shoreline is quite good and offers gameplay diversity which is much needed in tarkov. we don't want maps that all play the same or this game that we all like but can become stale and repetitive would get boring even quicker
Reserve is still great for loot. If you’re the first one in D2 you’ll often make more in 5 minutes than you would 25 in a customs raid
Or, if you know where to look and have the keys, you can avoid the entirety of the bunkers and get good loot up top. I kid you not, I routinely get 250k+ on Reserve using this strat.
@@hewhoplugwalks Only 250k on reserve? That's basically a scav run. I don't know where you loot but if you have the RB-KPRL you can make 250k just from that.
@@nocommantarygameplay5516 "Only" refers to a 5-10 minute run without hitting any of the higher traffic areas. The most rat of rat runs. Obviously, with a bit more invested time and finesse, you could net more. But I'm a lazy player.
@@hewhoplugwalks That makes sense
the interchange rant was perfect lmao. so true
i have friends whose legit way richer than i am worst part is they are first wipe with 200 mil roubles and yes it's lighthouse...
I’d rather fight 12 Killa’s in Factory then go to Customs once.
Edit in regards to woods: Playing woods night or just woods in general, I’ve gotten my whole kit back 70% of the time.
M80? You gotta think big, my guy.
Dream about the M993.
IMO Shoreline is way too concentrated at the resort while Reserve genuinely need more extract for PMCs (literally the only reason I don't go there)
Can't wait for the Tarkov Food and Drink Tier List especially for rats and extraction campers lol
customs is the best map. lighthouse also is areally good map but its optimization and bugger rouges ruin the experience
Love your stuff man. Criminally underrated
Hey man I respect you so much and if it wasn’t you I wouldn’t play eot. Keep on with your good work and some tips it will be nice I mean eot is my first fps I played
Hate this game but I can't stop playing it. Love your videos and can't stop watching them.
Yep. Same.
It's literally an addiction
The best thing you can get from rogues is a few mags of 762 bp and MAYBE if the stars allign 1 out of 30 will have a lvl5 armor. The rest run around with iron sight guns with ass ammo, still hitting you from 300m away 5 times in a row. Tanking half a mag if it is not a headshot ... but are wearing paca armor
I love Reserve, but u made a good point about surface level. It's been barren ever since they added the underground. I think what could make it better is if Glukhar had some sort of sign that he's in the raid, just like Shturman with his warning shots (and where, like Shturman's shots). If Glukhar wasn't so rare and was more farmable, it could bring a lot of players out of the sewers.
I agree with everything you said, except I put woods S tier. I look forward to any quest on that map, even punisher 4.
Mr. Levi . I truly enjoy Shoreline, loot is only one reason why. The other is the PVP. If you spawn along the Shoreline or Road to Customs you can usually get a fight in the stretch between the blue fence lot to the Gas Station. With the Capturing Outposts quest you can often times find people at the Pier, going there or watching it from another spot. There's lots of places to snipe from. 3 days ago I caught a guy near the ammo box truck Scavs, close to rock passage sniper scavs. He had a reapir M1A. Anyways if you know the map, rotations and spawns it's not that hard to find a fight or get a kill outside of the resort. It's also easy to avoid fights if you stay out of the resort. When I have a problem finding other players is just when it's a dead raid. And let's be honest, sometimes you get a dead raid on all maps. I love Customs, it's my first love, Shoreline and Factory are split next in line. But even on Factory I've had raids where I was able to avoid PVP, (quests, survivals) because it seemed like everyone else was too.
Loot on shoreline? Lol
@@SonOfTheDawn515 Yeah rooms got nerfed in resort it seems but theres still tons of loot throughout the map. I always come out with a full bag often without trying.
It’s almost like Nikita can’t let us enjoy the game. “Game must be suffering to be good. Not fun, good.”
This is my first wipe I started playing 1 week before wipe happend witch was nice because I got a good feel for the maps, knowledge on how to begin questing and how pvp feels with the new movement mechanics and now I’m a lvl 40 only blocked from max traders by two levels and am working towards kappa/max hideout I think of all the maps I have found this wipe to make me money as much as light house is very annoying it has provided me the most rubles per hour but the good thing is if you learn all the jager stashes on woods and know good valuable spawns woods is on par with light house and if you pack some pnvgs and do woods at night we’ll you might run into a player once every few raids but if you really know the map you can almost avoid any conflict while still making anywhere of 4-700k rubles and honestly I’ve made more than that before but those are rare circumstances I think woods is a Great map for new players to really learn in depth and feel comfortable on and it makes you a very vigilant player over time
I’ve killed gluhar and he had 3 mags of M61.. And one of his guards had the LVL 6 THOR armor
New player who started this week, loving your tier list 😆
Before this wipe, I used to love farming at the Resort, it was so good to find a LEDX in SanTape, but now, everytime I open that room, I only found sadnass e despair right next to a bounch of nothing and some bandages.
I think friends make shoreline a little bit more bearable (apart from the spawn by the bleu fence. That one always sucks) but I agree that it's pretty terrible.
Reserve-
Yes the loot has been significantly nerfed many times but there still is great loot you just have to move around the map. The underground area with the locked gates is great and you easily make 700k+. The K buildings have a couple crates and tech spawns. Both of the knight buildings have really good weapon attachment/part spawns and tech loot. The pawn buildings are stacked with loose loot and they both have armor repair kit spawns. The dome area has 2 safes, 1 Intel spawn, and tech loot. You can easily make 500k if you get dome spawn and take RR extract. Queen and knight are stacked with loot. The bunker command center has raiders which aren't special and plenty of good loot. On your way to D2 there's that server area and the back room has a safe and computer plus the wood thing under the metal platform is an Intel spawn. When walking into the generator room there's a cart at the far left end and another cart on the right side by the door with steps that go down (rat spot) that both spawn high value tech loot. Reserve is by far the best map and it belongs in S++ tier if more people knew how to play it right.
Shoreline enjoyer here. Yeah I like it for the money but running it at night is what I tend to do after work since night time ratting is more fun after a day at work and I don't feel like getting immediately assblasted by the sweatlords. PVP's not bad to me but only if youre fighting from admin to another part of the resort, any of the cottages, or at the pier. Rest of its basically just PVP in woods.
Love all of your videos bro literally the funniest guy!
Glad to see woods getting some love. Properly rated. Lighthouse is the only one I disagree with. Insane loot there. Loothouse is a better name for it. I do all of my scav runs there and have racked up millions of rupples so much faster than last wipe. The PvP at lighthouse isn’t bad either
THANK YOU, I love Customs, lots of recognizable buildings and plenty of EVAC spots, all my friends either don't like Customs or prefer others way more
Levi, I have a terrible idea.
Hunt: Showdown map tier list.
Yes. I know.
Scupper lake is Abysmal tier
When I first played tarkov, i really enjoyed Shoreline because i would get so lost on maps and i was too low level’d to have a compass and having the shore was always a good reference point so i wouldn’t get lost. My opinion has changed in later wipes but i would be honest to say i had some good times there when i was new.
If you know the stashes locations or just general containers and stuff you can do that in all maps really, but Interchang eain't even good for scav'ing IMO, because everyone and their grandmother scavs in either, lighthouse/interchange and maybe reserve, this is why I personally love scavving customs way more, especially later on in the wipe as people do not loot the good places as much, the stashes run by the mountain are all absolutely free as nobody bothers looting them, for some reason sometimes Stronghold is ignored completely by PMCs and I've found it more than a few times absolutely untouched. Although I guess scavving on Interchange is not the worst currently as it's probably pretty dead apart from people trying to do Long Line
I just started this wipe and tbh without shoreline and its stashes I would not have survived
I enjoy more than just looting on shoreline but definitely think the map could have some major improvements. Spawns are kinda bad and the lack of ways to cross the middle of the map can be really frustrating sometimes
I love chilling with friends at shoreline pier/woods surrounding it
that ragman spending till 42 then finally doing quests hit too close to home
i mean the rogues can have 7.62x39 bp and 5.45x39 bp and bt, also class 5 armor, is it worth it? i dont think so but its good for scavs runs
Rouges can spawn with class 6, I've gotten a hexgrid from 'em before.
Bravo Levi! once more a funny and interesting video! keep it up!
As a purely solo player on his first wipe, Shoreline is definitely A shore. (Kill me) Most quests have me go into places I stand no chances, When you finally reach the side of the map you need to do your quest on a chad is going to his exit and just pops you in the back of the head. It's painfull.
Literally this ^^^
Most people do Shoreline quests as a group, which makes running that map as a solo VERY hard, especially since the quests themselves often require you to grab something and make it out alive. And not to mention, a lot of quests there require keys to get into the rooms with the quest items. Keys that can be VERY expensive and being the one who has to buy them all really takes a chunk out of your rouble count. (looking at you, blue tape key).
U could try to go for stashes and later in the raid go to resort blue tapes mostly opened and thats how I got my quest done
But I agree shoreline is my favorite map and I still think its a pain
You had to talk about how terrible woods extracting is though, 2 players get different extracts then everyone else is stuck in outskirts or zb-14 but they're right next to each other so what does it matter anyway
I'm level 51 right now and havn't played a single labs raid this wipe. Imo it's just a cage to trap cheaters and I simply forgot it exists.
It's my 2nd wipe, and I'm actually trying to do quests and get 42 this wipe Shoreline has been kicking my ass lmao I do not know the lines of sights that people hold so I die a lot when solo but for those who have been playing for yrs I could see how It'd get old
HA three years yup this aged real well
Look. I like i customs as a map. I dunno if this is the same world wide but i see more geared pmcs on customs then all other maps included. And interchange has grown on me. I had a quest to extract 15 times on interchange. Found 5 gpus in those raids
It's funny seeing "old" videos talking about streets coming out in years or not at all.
Interchange is unironically my favorite map. I get that the lighting isnt good for pvp but I kinda feel like if you play tarkov for a refined pvp experience then youre kind of special. I love the ambiance and survival horro vibes of Interchange. I also live that I can choose how risky/action packed I want my raid to be.
I totally dig Shoreline. Mix of Customs and Woods? Yeah, I see that and as with both of those maps, the points you made, is a reason I main Shoreline. Want to just get quests done and not interact with anyone else? Shoreline allows that. Want to just hop on and slaughter or be slaughtered? Yep, Resort has that. I watch your vids often, relatable thought process about items in the game and entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Out of the 100 raids I have on shoreline, I cant remember a single time I didnt die by a random sniper just sitting somewhere. It's A sniper heaven, and I personally find it distasteful. so many quests force you to literally hug the shoreline, creating forced interaction with 0 counterplay. way too much dead space with no loot, basically running simulator. Shoreline is the only map I *know* that if my stomach gets blacked, im gonna starve. not enough food spawns, too far to run.
actually crazy, that was 1-1.9 years ago and they added 2 fully new maps plus updates like factory
Woods has too many landmines
Well i love the fact that i ended up the video thinking "Aw it was a short video, only lasted 7 mins or so" ...and then realized it was a 20 mins long video lol you made the time fly!
Btw
I love interchange, do i have problems? Lol
No, interchange is hands down my fav map.
Loot is good, PVP is awesome and the fights are never the same like in dorms or D2.
@@brianpearce4647 To be honest, is my fav map too! For all the reasons you said!
The only bad part is exit camping, but is not that common anymore, probably because people think the loot is terrible, but if you know the spots, is not that bad! I mean, worst case scenario you can get a few goldchains and some random stuff, making easy 150/200K without the need to fight anyone lol
Just curious: do you have your brightness cranked up on interchange?
@@AyoKeito i mean, not really my tarkov is probably a little more bright then default 0, but not enough to blind me in outdoor zones or anything lol, after all... Dorms is also pretty fucking dark lol

For interchange I do weird shit, and its a great loot hole.
Factory and woods are really tied. Factory I like pvp, and woods i like sniping and also being the crazy one that pushes emercom with 7.62x39 drum mag and korund.
Streets is great, I havent had a bad raid yet, though ive only done like 5 or 6. Lighthouse I like farming rogues.
Customs is OG but late wipe it gets too sweaty, and frankly I just dont like the map. Dorms is the exception, I loooove getting dorky on dorms.
Reserve I like the map, I just die 90% of raids I do there and every extract is clogged with extract campers.
I WOULD love labs but its filled to the brim with cheaters.
I would literally rather do anything than play shoreline.
My main point of interest is Goshan when I play Interchange. It has tons of food and decent amount of weapon boxes where you can find gear.
Shoreline is either a great map or a terrible map for me. I genuinely enjoy the PvP I have there, but actually getting engagements can be hard and the scavs seem to absolutely demolish my retinas with buckshot.
Considering most of the 'I hate buckshot scavs' and 'nerf buckshot scavs' comments/posts I've seen are from people who got killed on Shoreline, I'd say that last part checks out. Shoreline buckshot scavs hit different.
The Streets prediction aged really well, like most of his content LMAO
what happened
Kinda love hate relationship with shoreline. I mean I like resort pvp and loot in late game, but rest of it is garbage (keep runnin like idiot from one empty vast plain to another). Also I love the two raids in which I manage to complete like dozen tasks in each, survive 'em and reap the 6 pmc levels I get for those early game. Rest is spot on. Customs is forever my favourite.
Well, if to speak about rogues, most of rogues i killed, they usualy had 7.62x39 weapons, AND BP ammo. 5.56x45 and 7.62x51 weapons almost always spawn with shitty ammo tho. (OMG Nikita tries to make 7.62x39 weapons even more viable (It's a joke)) And yes, shoreline and interchange (nighttime) are good tfor A)farming money B)killing scavs C) Fighting PMCs
I feel like lighthouse has the same problem of shoreline and interchange. Scavs spawn inside the points of interest within 2 minutes of map start, there is a VAST amount of nothing where the 'flow' of all PMC spawns is predictable, and there is a significant amount of chokepoint potential. The main road is a no-go zone for obvious reasons, the bridge to lighthouse proper is just as exposed, and the chokepoints near water treatment force 1 of 3 routes (waterline, old village crossing, mountain path) which are all campable. The 'reward' for making it to water treatment in a timely manner is an industrial area where the rogues make normal movement and pvp inside the facility a nightmare.
I understand that controlling flow and creating chokepoints is intended to drive PVP, but there is a difference between "fun pvp" where both sides are engaging in content and "head eyes from a bush 100m out" or "lul you died to AI laser beam from a rooftop".
Woods, by comparison, has later scav spawn timers which allow the PMC's to move about for long enough to get things done. It also is wide-enough with enough concealment and caches and random loot that a player could reasonably be expected to be 'anywhere'. I think that is the magic of woods, players have a legitimate reason to be anywhere on the map, whether they are transitioning from POI to POI, or moving toward extracts, or hanging out in a scav hut looking for loot. Shoreline and Lighthouse do not have that, they are like... empty foot-traffic highways that conduct players directly from point A to point B with very little reason for exploring, even the hidden caches are mostly inside those paths.
Interchange is so bad, I get extract camped and spawnkilled the most in that shitty ass map. I also can’t avoid it because I’m force to do my task their. The devs need to add another extract or lower the player count by 2.
Swap labs and woods and the tierlist is perfect
I don't know if I went crazy after playing this game for a few hundred hours but I actually like Shoreline (only the resort tho). I like the verticality and the pure crazyness of the pvp. The sounds f*cking suck tho I think we can all agree on that.
mans threw zombie perks into his speech, yeaahhh you gained a new subscriber good sir !! double tap lmao
Scav enthusiast here little tip run woods and hit up stashes or loose loot in areas people don’t usually go you can make serious money only with a scav that has a backpack tho
As a scav main, I almost only go to interchange to loot Oli, I’m not sure if people understand the value of water filters but I can find up to 5 a raid and at least one a raid, picking up any items that are worth 10k or more to traders and leaving asap has gotten me 20mil
And in early wipe there's a metric ton of engines that are worth like 80 grand.
I do love shoreline, not because its a good map, but because its a money farm without resistance, a rats wet dream.. aslong as you spawn on the swamp side
Really like your videos. Maybe you can redo the tierlist with all the changes of the last wipe
