if you want to escape with your life and
some sweet loot stick around and we'll
tell you how welcome comrades
I'm Ricky with WatchMojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
rookie mistakes in escape from tarkov
number 10 loot is why you're playing
okay
yes survive also obviously but
ultimately you're staying alive to bring
that sweet sweet loot back to your home
base because your stash is persistent
you can build up a great collection of
armor weapons and supplies to take with
you on future rates and remember every
time you examine an item you haven't
found yet you gain a little bit of
experience surviving with a good kit and
fresh loot sets you up even better for
your next outing and don't forget your
alpha container storage box that's in
your pouch anything you put in here
during a match you keep even if you die
so rubles a rare key etc
number nine play as and with scavs there
are two roles to play as the SCAF or
scavenger and the pmc the pmc is your
main character and the staff is a
randomized playable enemy faction both
roles involve looting and escaping but
scabs start with random loot which could
be great or could be weak but this loot
doesn't cost you anything and as a scav
other NPC scavs won't be immediately
hostile player scabs might kill you
however so be aware if you manage to
take down a PMC or another scab and take
his gear and extract you get to keep all
that gear and use it on your PMC number
8 patience unlike a battle royale like
pub G or that other one there is far
less urgency to escape from tarkov your
objective is different and you aren't
constantly running away from a
collapsing circle your goal is to get to
extraction with the best gear you can
find along the way you still need to get
to the extraction zone in time but there
isn't an ever-present wall of death
following you so take your time let
other squads get to the extraction zone
first and fight it out because the last
thing you want is to get trapped between
squads found an exit time for extract
number 7 don't immediately open fire in
most shooters as soon as you see an
enemy you start shooting and escape from
tarkov shooting at an enemy even one
that hasn't spotted you yet could be a
mistake
are you guaranteed to kill them are they
alone where are their friends maybe
there are other hostels in the area that
will come and investigate the noise
we're not saying that you should become
a bush camper but only take fights you
can win hell when you're new to the game
it's okay to just pick off and loot NPC
scabs and escape avoiding other players
entirely
number six hotkey your healing items
there are a lot of bad injuries and
status effects you can get stuck with an
escape from tarkov pain fractures
toxication bleeding and more what fun
which means there are a lot of different
types of medical supplies as well and
it's not as simple as using health packs
to stay alive you'll need everything
from basic cheese slices to big old
grizzly first-aid kits to make it to the
extraction so adding the various healing
items to your hotkeys makes using them
much more efficient you'd be surprised
how much just a second or two of time
saved can make a difference number five
don't be afraid to push enemies remember
what I said earlier about not being a
bush camper don't be a bush camper
you'll never get good at the game you
won't grow you won't improve and your
victory will be hollow we're not saying
always be aggressive and never hide but
you'll only get good at shooting
mechanics if you actually engage with
other players camping doesn't count a
lot of players play very conservatively
and aren't expecting you to rush them if
you have an enemy alone and cornered
don't give them a chance to make a plan
or to get out a grenade consider
charging them they probably won't expect
it number four don't instantly loot
defeated enemies it may be tempting to
immediately run up to a downed enemy and
loot their corpse but trust us this will
often get you killed
keep your eyes peeled and your ears open
and remember the noise you made in
combat may have gotten you some unwanted
attention just watch what happens when
youtuber Raman style enters our raid
with just a sidearm and after hearing a
gunshot goes to investigate kill the
player he was looting the scout here we
got two players on my god
also shout-out to Raman style he makes
very good tarkoff videos number three
hey listen
as the game is now footsteps and even
Crouch walking are very loud encounters
can be few and far between so always
make sure to keep your ears open NPC
scabs will bark dialogue when you get
too close to them and even shout to each
other so you know when they have friends
gunfire obviously carries a big distance
so depending on your situation
you'll be able to sneak up on or avoid
enemies entirely and don't underestimate
the value of tactical earpieces
especially if you're going to a stealth
run you better worry about bears number
two keep a map handy when you're just
learning the game in the layout of all
the different raids simply finding the
extraction point can be a challenge if
you have a second monitor tablet or
laptop it will really help to have the
map of the area you're in for a quick
reference even opening the maps on your
phone is better than nothing
and maybe even a little immersive there
are lots of nooks and crannies you can
duck into just to get your bearings
because unlike other games it's easy to
get turned around and even lost before

notifications number one nothing to lose
Dinah's a SCAF means a cool down before
you can spawn as a Scapa and playing as
your PMC means every time you go in you
risk losing the gear you spawn in with
unless you spawn in with nothing
some people will recommend just taking a
melee weapon and nothing else but
sidearms are very cheap and disposable
aim for the enemies heads and face as
most enemies won't have a face mask and
if you're just a little lucky you can
get an early kill and a full set of gear
to play out the rest of the round with
and remember that alpha container
because even if you die you can still
finish the match with more than you
started out with
you made it to the end which means
you've improved your game by at least
20% you're welcome
