Tarkoff takes this tradition and makes it even more important since your ammo is often very limited and there is this constant risk of dying
And losing everything you've looked it's very stressful game
Escape from tarkov has been on the market for quite some time now, but whatever reason it is
It has been blowing up over the last month or so and I've mentioned this game on numerous numerous
Fps top tens tons of players are now jumping in to see what the hype is but if you know anything about tarkoff
you know, it's a very
Punishing game to get into so I have scavenged the Internet and put together some of the most useful tips that I could find from
Experienced players I'm telling you right now. I am not experienced at all
I've just started the game myself, but I thought it would be good to do some best tips for brand new beginner tarkoff players
So drop a like and if you want more escape from tarkov
Content you let me know what you want and we can probably make it happen. So the first thing is pretty easy
Bookmark the tarkoff wiki that's right. Now escape from tarkov has an extremely passionate community
I mean, it's it's up there with Rainbow six League of Legends overwatch csgo
they are very passionate about this very technical game with a ton of
Moving parts. So you will end up going to this wiki which is ever-expanding in super detailed
so I'll put it in the description and you can get instant access to a huge database of
Pretty much everything about the game
You need to know now all new tarkoff players should bookmark the wiki on their phone or a second monitor
So you always have somewhere to turn in case you encounter something. You're not familiar with fine a new gun
Check the wiki not familiar with the map or if you're in a nighttime mode instead of a daytime
Check the wiki and speaking of maps do raids offline to learn the maps first as you all know
It's an online game and you can't make any progress with it offline
Well, what a lot of people don't know is you can actually play the game offline. Sure
You won't get any loot this way
But you will still be able to run around these maps and get the hang of where all the main points of interest are to
Play a raid offline just go into a raid like you normally would but eventually you're going to get to a screen with a button
That says enable offline mode for this raid go ahead and click that and then you can even throw in
A I bought enemies in the mix if you want to there's nothing wrong with that again
Your character progress will be locked when playing offline so you won't get any XP and you won't get to keep any of the loot
You get but this is a great tool for
Learning everything a lot of survival type multiplayer games will just throw you into the fray and force you to learn everything on your own
But offline mode here allows you to get your bearings together
Learn the map learn the equipment learn the load outs learn everything about the game
speaking of learning
Learn the bullet drop like most big map survival games escape from tarkov does not use hitscan weapons
instead
you're going to have to get used to the bullet drop and travel time for the different weapons and the ammo types and there's a
lot
as you
battle real players probably know this can be the toughest part of the learning curve when getting into a new game as you have to
do everything right and you totally
Totally get the drop on someone, but if you don't have the bullet physics down
Well, you end up screw yourself and losing a fight altogether because you missed your shots
And as to be expected 7:6 two rounds behave very differently than five five six rounds
You're gonna notice this more and more the further you get away from your target the game and according to the most recent
Developer update there are a hundred and seventeen different ammo types in escape from tarkov
so you've got a lot of
homework to do again going into offline mode can help you get the hang of this so you don't run into the awkward situations in
Actual combat, but with that being said bullet drop isn't everything
You have to learn the damage system most online shooters love different damage multipliers for different parts of the body
tarkoff takes this tradition and makes it even more important since your ammo is often very limited and there's this constant risk of dying and
Losing everything you've looted it's very stressful game the head the chests are extremely high targets and tarkoff as a heavy hit to either one
Can result in a instant kill arms are a pretty low priority target is they only have a point seven times multiplier
But damaging someone's arm will reduce their accuracy and increase the reload time until they heal up, which is a nice touch
This is a detailed game now legs are weird
They don't have any damage multipliers, but shooting someone's legs will cause them to lose balance and prevent them from running away
So obviously you should always aim for the fastest kill possible
but if someone's trying to get away or if they're running at you a milot could
Actually help you turn the fight into your favor
It's also very important to remember when you hit someone the lasting effects of the bullet damage
Will help you close the gap and clean up the pit kill at number six insurance doesn't work everywhere
Now insurance is a very helpful tool
that you can use in tarkoff to help you keep your hands on more valuable gear after a match, but
something you need to be very clear and aware of is that
Insurance doesn't actually work on every map Labs is one of the more complex Maps currently in tarkoff and as it stands right now
Insurance is disabled here regardless of whether or not you equipped it before loading in this means if you insured one of your items
And then you lost it in labs
You just wasted your insurance because you aren't getting that item back
And as it stands right now labs is the only map where insurance doesn't work
Although I could be wrong and I'm sure someone will correct me in the comments if I am but just be aware
be aware of that when you're loading into lab server that your insurance doesn't work here and I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if
The developers decide to make more maps with insurance disabled
So once again keep your eye on that ever evolving wiki page at number five
Health versus pain management now unlike other online shooters tarkoff actually has a health and pain management
item while items that specifically help with injuries on certain parts of your body
but while health items will actually heal you paint management items will simply push the problem way like a
Band-aid for a little while to keep you in the fight just like in real life
for example
if your leg gets injured, you can use painkillers to prevent your character from stumbling around but if you run while on painkillers
You'll still take damage because you're putting additional pressure on that injured leg
It's pretty realistic in terms of logic behind how everything works and you need to keep an eye on it
It's not like pub G where painkillers just give you a health boost in tarkoff
Painkillers are simply going to help alleviate the side effects of injury
but still going to be up to you to eventually fix the injury with an actual health item like a med kit or a
splint or something
Combat and healing are very complicated very complicated and it's going to take repetition to get used to it at number four
experiment with character skills like other games
There's quite a few skills for you to grind up and increase your character's
Efficiency in battle and looting the five skills available right now are strength endurance health
Metabolism and vitality now certain skills are harder than other to grind up and certain skills are also arguably much more useful than others
however
given how deep and customizable this game is
every skill has its place in the sandbox and it's worth messing around with all of them so you can decide which one if any
You're going to fully commit to in order to beef up your character a bit number three
have no mercy a
Common thing in multiplayer survival games is to have mercy on other players
If you can tell that you have an obvious advantage or that they're new. However, you won't be getting much of that in tarkoff
So you shouldn't go into the game expecting it and you shouldn't be practicing it either
I know it sounds pretty grim to say you shouldn't have any mercy on anyone in the game
But this is the truth tarkoff is a very kill or killed B game and if you are at a disadvantage
They're not gonna let you live. They're gonna drop you take your loot and move on with their game
So when you're joining a server and tarkov
You should go in expecting that you're going to die and lose everything and this mentality will help you get out of more merciful
Mindset than other survival games know they may have conditioned you that way. I don't know
It's also gonna help you get over the fear of playing aggressive
Because this is kind of like a one-and-done in a way if you die
You lose it all at number two hotkeys
There are so many things in tarkoff that you're going to need to get used to there are tons of ways to stand
Move sort your inventory. So on so forth. This is where the magic of the keyboard and mouse will really come in handy
Not only are there a lot of built-in hotkeys for you to memorize and master
But you can also go get custom with your bindings to make sure that all of your tools are being utilized properly
Into your advantage if you're new to PC gaming or you're just not good at remembering hotkeys and whatnot. Like I am like I'm not
Don't feel ashamed at all. Just have a notepad right next to your monitor with all your bindings on it
Whatever works until you can get it memorized. Okay, you already have your wiki open, right?
And when I said have your wiki open, I mean have it open on another monitor?
So if you're in the match and you can go hide in a bush and you have to go search something out information wise
You can do that. There's no shame in that and finally the tarkoff discord now
There are a few different tarkoff discord servers, but the big one is the one you want to be part of the official
Escape from tarkov discord has over
63,000 members and then there is one called the unofficial escape from tarkov and it has
43,000 members. I'll put both in the
In the description by joining these two servers you will have instant access to all patch notes and updates
But you will also be able to communicate with other players and find groups to play with that are in your skill range
It's super super important. Okay discord really is an amazing tool especially for games like tarkoff
So join up in the main discord and the unofficial one if you really want to get your information flow on and start to get
