The Truth about Tarkov for Casual Players

I started last wipe late, played solo for a few weeks and studied the game's mechanics extensively. I remember hiding in bushes every couple of minutes, ALT-tabbing and checking the map, taking things extremely slow. I introduced a couple of my friends to the game, and I soon learned just how hard it was for the average player to grasp. The first time I ever had "fun" in Tarkov was on Shoreline, I had both legs crippled and a minor bleed with no healing supplies by a scav, walked five minutes to that pier where the boat extract is, killed another two scavs and found a bandage. I then limped all the way to tunnel extract, groaning in pain the entire time, just wishing someone would end my suffering. It took me thirty goddamn minutes to limp from one end of the map to the other, but getting out made me feel a sense of bitter euphoria that I've never felt before, going from nail biting stress to a feeling of triumph.

When he was looking at Old Gas I already knew what was going to happen.....no smoke at extracts is PAIN!

Escaping from Tarkov requires a lot of investment, but I think the less you play it, the most intense the gameplay is, you are always surprised by new situations. That is the true Tarkov.

you should turn on anisotropic filtering. that'll get rid of the horrible looking terrain textures with no performance impact

1:50 that map is australian, it shows south on top. Just so you don't get even more confused at dusk/dawn because that's what messed with my orientation on reserve and customs a whole lot

the truth about Tarkov? where is it? this is basically just a Let's Play with random commentary.

Quick tip: repair your weapons! The lower the durability, the lower the accuracy and the weapon has a higher chance to jam. Always repair items before every raid, and look out for a weapon/ armor repair kit!

I like your content very very much, not a big noscope gigachad streamer, just a guy like me, with fears like me and a playstile like me. It is SO refreshing seeing you struggle and enjoy the tiny wins. I feel much more represented and can almost feel your thoughts and stresses in the situations. Keep it up man :) Love and Greetings from Germany!

The stupidest thing in Tarkov is the lack of an ingame map that shows your extracts, forcing you to alt-tab to wiki to read the map, or learn it offline.

advice for Casual players: don't play tarkov.

Great video. Nice to see someone else having the same trials as me. See you in Tarkov!

Quick tip for items in general. If you don't want to hotkey them, instead of right-clicking for the menu, you can just double-click.

Love your real emotions and interest. Keep it coming :)

I love your audio editing skills! The score is awesome!!!!

This was a great video for an absolute new player like myself. Started playing yesterday and my god is it stressful/terrifying…but so addictive! I tried a couple scav/PMC runs on ground zero. 1 successful scav and PMC extract so far. Currently lvl 3. This video really showed that everyone is scared when playing I guess. You handled yourself so well in those gun fights. I have the gear fear currently as I don’t how to attach sights to my guns on which site can be used on what etc but that will come with time. Giving you sub buddy👍

Same thing happened to me on Shoreline a year or two ago: my first time on it was as a Scav and I spawned in w/ a Labs key: got out too thankfully! I'm Level 14 (only unlocked the flea once which was last wipe) now so I gotta say it's nice to see someone else not absolutely cracked at Lv.40+ sharing the Tarkov Experience (I've also got Bad Rep Evidence to do lol) Good video dude keep up the TactiTimmy Chronicles :D

1:50 perfectly describes why I love extraction shooters compared to standard FPS because sometimes "stakes are high" and you get minor panic attack followed by adrenaline burst... From Day Z roaming for hours being chill then feeling dread of bullets whiz past your head or Tarkov and Hunt having same feeling only condensed to smaller maps/raids mmmmmmm I love it!

who thought trying to recreate what surviving in combat situations via a video game would actually be popular? Its about as close as civilians will ever get to... and actually have to live with its reality instead if flicking off the game and going to bed .

I like how your game looks. Do you use post fx?

to cut down on having to open the health and shortcuts you can set them to always show, it helped me a ton early on and I still play like that 600 hrs in
