Another huge tip I've seen nobody mention yet is to actually open jewelry boxes you find instead of selling them, I found sometimes you can double or even triple the value just from the coins and they can used for contracts.
Yeah always open them those silver and gold coins are worth so much
Lucked out last raid and got me a jewellry box and 3 war bonds. Made 90k off the one raid.
@@ctrl-alt-bang1324 last night I made 150k off a run from doing a vault then killed a player on terraformer with a shit ton of war bonds I got out of there quick as hell
I just figured that out myself was bout to sell it then it said open I’m like shiiiit there’s jewels gold rings and documents made fat cash when I was down bad love the game much more forgiving then Tarkov but still a challenge my top is work on jiggle peak firing without aiming in work on hip fire shots
Pretty good tactic to get more equipment is to find AI ship (Interceptor Frigate), then shoot at it until it is disabled. Then you KEEP SHOOTING at the ship so that the NPC's die inside. Then just breach into it and get some free loot from the bodies.
Wait wait wait this is a thing? Confirmed?
how can you tell which ships r ai?
@@penguinking5391 usually anything else except rust bucket is an AI ship. The AI ships also move in a bit "jerky" way and don't head towards the ports. Interceptors are usually patrolling AI ships, and they shoot torpedos. If interceptor shoots something else, it is most likely a player controlled ship.
or just breach it and clear it out way easier
i usually just catfish the ship Lmao
For tip number 3, leaving with your ship has a 3x XP multiplier so its better than leaving in escape pod
false, you will get still 2x XP
@@Fufancz A dev said it in a Q and A... Otherwise people would never leave with the rust bucket. Also do some research before saying "false" 🤡
@@judewhittaker1200 maybe dev said that. But i do not see it in game. Whenever i leave, i can see that it gave me 2x multiplier not 3x. Maybe they just plan it to be this way. Also they said prestige is on lvl 40. Even in the ingame guide says this. But it's wrong, you can prestige when you reach lvl 50.
@@judewhittaker1200 Nah, it's actually just not true. Same 2x bonus as with a pod. It might be an intended or future mechanic, but as of right now.. Not the case.
@@kylegrishen3543 Mate, just go on the discord and ask. I have already (yesterday) and it is in a fact a feature that is out right now.
As a solo, it helps a lot to try and disable ships in the start, if you can thin down the amount of people early, its less people later on inside. if you do this however, make sure you're ready for boarders
I still need to figure out how to hit shots in the ship lol
@@unstoppable_balrog748 if you played warthunder it's a bit alike, you have to anticipate the movement of the ship
@@monnomestpersonne7666 The hitboxes are funky.
i find it better to not poke the bear, people become invested when you shoot/disable your ship, id rather deal with them in the raid location
@@fortomorrowwehunt8449artillery shot makes people haul ass. Never boarders
This is my first extraction shooter and this one is great fun. Best tip, if you can, play with at least one friend that understands a game like this. I didn't know much and it really helps to understand how to go about playing a game like this. Positioning and understanding when to push, stuff like that.
Definitely good to have a battle buddy
You are now ready for Hunt Showdown and Tarkov.
Two things I can add that made the game playable. If you have a widescreen monitor go to the steam guides for this game theres a fix to give a normal fov. Also if you have a mouse with high polling turn it down to 500. The game has negative mouse acceleration at high polling making the mouse feel floaty.
edit: I got highlighted so i'll add some more. Crafting early on is very good to save money, and once you unlock the VZ Kobb you can sell it for a profit after taking out the ammo. This gun takes 9mm so you get the ammo for free off your ship and fits in the pistol slot!
edit2: another easy way to earn cash is to go into raids looking for AI scout ships that you can steal. You lose your ship so only do it with the rustbucket. Generally i do a loop around the map to see if there's any ships not going into the center and just doing laps. These are the AI the ships have a couple easy AI you have to kill then the ships yours to use or sell for 18K.
That's a great tip
You can now wear your Cape goo sir
Great to know it wasn't just me. I play on a 34" ultrawide and felt like the fov was rather awkward.
Simple, succinct and helpful tips. Great job with the clips too. Gave a good sense of how the game is to be played too.
Thanks!
Just bought this game today, kinda struggled with the first few raids but starting to get the hang of what’s going on. Love this game
Appreciate the video! Have been putting off playing the game but will for sure have a good start using the tips.
Thanks!
I put off the game when I was told about it in alpha. I was missing out. And you're missing out.
If you’re like me, and your favorite part of the game is boarding and stealing ships, then one way to expand your collection of ships is to take the rustbucket and immediately get into an escapee pod and try to catch people on their way to the main area. Since it’s the rustbucket than it doesn’t matter that you abandoned it, and every other ship in the lobby will be better anyway unless it’s another rustbucket.
Good point! People seem to be really aggressive with the ships
Have seen no other ship then the rustbucket been playing for a few hours
@@rootbear9742 cause of new peeps, there are alot of new peeps
Careful some of us actually have bigger ships with bigger guns 😉
This seems like super obvious advice.
The Gear Fear is a huge one, this game feel so extra casual and fun that honestly i go in with top tier shit like F it if i loose it i loose it ill can buy it back for pretty cheap anyways
i was smacking kids with some panzer armor i got off another guy i killed. next match i found merchant ship went in fully geared to try and finish contracts and zero to hero, i got clapped within like 3 min lol. didnt even care
Yea I agree, it's much more manageable and I feel encouraged to use stuff
I love that I don't have any gear fear in this game, I actually enjoy when I die sometimes due to my storage being filled with shit so I can finally use some
It also helps that most every gun in the game is viable. Especially cheap stuff like the M1 Carbine and any shottie. Well placed headshots can make you some bank.
no1 likes to hoard to armor anyways as it takes up too much space in inventory
I didn't know you could fold the bags to carry them in your bag, good thing I was watching and not just listening!
Oh RIP that was supposed to be in the vid :(
I also didn't know you could rotate items in the inventory. wild
Middle mouse click uses health items automatically Instead of having to right click and hit use
This should be more obvious, thank you.
Thanks for this. I'm using a steam deck to play this game so I'll modify a back button for this.
if you click the middle mouse on a healing item it would use it automatically
I found that if you hipfire after healing it cancels the animation!
Oooh thanks for the tip
Yes but you lose some healing I think?
@@JDogth3Wise you do lose the healing sadly :(
great video man, i've been having some trouble starting out so this will really help me out. earned a sub
Great video. Just bought this game last night and I have two tips to add: When you open your airlock, be in cover. My first game it opened and I immediately got killed. Second tip: when you LEAVE the station, make sure you know where your escape pod is. I got ganked as soon as I exited and died because I didn’t have full health after my first successful raid. Let’s see how my third game goes 😂
Thank you hearing about the free stuff really does help i was going to start a group for no gear runs
"Lose all your starter gear and end up broke, ill equipped, and struggling" Lost my first kit within a few minutes not realizing it came pre equipped. Started grubbing with the pistol. Made a klobb, and just stole an interceptor, using planning, trickery, and good ol fashioned tenacity. Just made it to level 12, whoohoo
I picked it up during the winter sale and been having fun. Went in blind. Never played tarkov but Im doing okay. Ive doubled my money! Murked two real dudes and got an m16 and two radio backpacks off them
Didn't know Chris Griffin played Marauders. Thanks for the handy tips :)
The Lugers need the artillery accessories as attachments/upgrades especially the 32rnd drum
this game makes me really happy.. good stuff
Thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed
This is such a fun game. I am running solo and yeah I die but I get enough wins to be fun
I can totally see this being fun as a squad but yea I have only played solo
one of the biggest reasons I dont play tarkov anymore is because my friends have moved on and solo is just terrible. Without a buddy to get one shot I have to die to the first shot fired and thats not fun lol.
using headphones is a must
Thx man! :D
great video thank u
My very first raid I killed 24 npcs, was loaded. ran out of oxygen bc I couldnt find my way back to my ship lol
good advise thank you
How do I get back to my ship after taking escape pod? First run and lost some great gear :(
Would be cool if they added Chem lights to mark your path like in ready or not.
Another tip, if you're in the escape pod and breach the second the enemy docks it doesn't notify them so you can get some really stealthy kills while they wait for the airlock to open
This is an exploit which people are getting banned over, don't use it.
use middle mouse button to quick heal and eat instead of right clicking and selecting use.
Thanks, I didn't know that.
I think the quest reward system is broken because i turn it in and itll say i get a gun as a reward but it never shows up in my inventory
i believe you might need enough storage for it as well, i’ve made sure i always had enough storage before i turn them in and always received it, but i’m not sure tho
You can throw full bags in your stash too bro
What are some tips for a solo player?
The three most important early crafting items: light bag (two ducks to craft, turn in 3 for a mission), lockpick (always bring 1), and the Klobb (incredibly cheap, highly effective machine pistol. 2k sell value. Feed it free 9mm. It's high rof murders even heavily armored enemies with headshots (klobberin time)). All craftable with the free ship farm run (grab the pouch rig to get duck tape, grab ammo and pistol, grab 4 fire extiguishers. Fly to jumpgate. Scrap all. Repeat while listening to podcasts or something as needed to have plenty of crafting mats (and or money) to be able to cheeky breeki. The pirate helmet isn't bad either. 4 junk and 1duck, expendable lol 5 helmet.
I like it. Fun Game and like you said, it is a lot smoother than what it I was in May and when we have the 5 days of closed Beta. Oh and one more thing you forgot to add, F1 LOL!
What ships can be acquired from AI?
I wish I new these things to
There needs to be some kind of in game map or at least 3rd party maps i cant find a way out when back to my dock ( witch was dock B) only to it not to be my dock even though it was dock B and died with a load of loot
It was either a bug, or you breached another ship and forgot to take the persons keycard
You also have to keep your captain keycard in the keycard slot when you open the airlock. Nearly screwed myself finding that out.
Thanks
This game is 1000x more forgiving than Tarkov and I love it. Tarkov was fun a few years back but I felt like it was also mental abuse how bullshit that game can be
Tarkov will give you ptsd
huge tip save toolkits, 1911 governments, trench guns, nuclear material, meth, biscuit tins, transmitters (3) and bars. also if you can buy flak vests buy them for synethic scrap easy mats also same for welrod for metal scrap and leather jerkins for leather strips
so i dont see any daily contracts did they do away with those?
Yeah theres trades at the merchants and raid-specific tasks now.
1 thing I wish i knew before purchasing it, you cant change the resolution as of yet 😣 gg though
hey jdog should i buy it tho cause tarkov is giving me a lot of burnout and not fun anymore
I can't tell you what to do, but it's under $30 USD and it's on steam so you can refund if you hate it!
Ime probably gono get it most people like the game and it seems better than other extraction shooters out there
@@mistachomkmartiantm1810 it’s very good lmao
@@mistachomkmartiantm1810 I don’t know if you’ve gotten it yet but it’s so worth it, way fun!
what do you record with
SLOBS
gear fear is my strongest emotion
Nice vid! Is there a way to tell if an AI killed you vs a player. Tarkov is like report name/cheating but in marauders that pops up every time. Any answers?
The death screen will tell you the name of your killer, so either player name or generic AI designation such as "Personnel"
Normally the name will give it away from whst ive seen so far
Is this controller compatible?
game is crazy i got 800k rn going crazy solo and w a team i wish there was a market tho
ong games needs a market
@@superbaby8799 liek i got all this bread but nothing to buy kinda shit
Please no, it's one of the many things that made Tarkov worse, things used to have subjective value depending on your tasks before the find in raid requirement was added, so one man's treasure could be another man's gold, and with the flea market no one gives a fuck about any of that and just go by the single-slot rouble value and it sucks. No one is excited to find good armour if they already have good armour on, because they can just loot a few valuable items taking up less space and just buy the armour outright, especially now that it's so fucking heavy.
@@fuqis i feel yu nd the vendors be hella expensive
Why would you want a market in this game? There's barely any items. You use the money to buy items in the shops, salvage them and craft / buy what you need. No point in adding a market
Never heard about this Game. iam bored out with Tarkov, so maybe i take a look, thanks buddy!
Hope you enjoy!
Why is it that I sometimes cannot place certain items in my pack even though the outline says there is enough room? Is there a mechanic that I am missing there?
I've noticed this as well... if it's a bag or armor make sure there is nothing in them before u put in ur inv. And fold them
You cannot place items that have storage slots in them (rigs, unfolded backpacks) into your backpack or rig.
Any idea how this game looks now? 18 hours left of discount and i have no idea if i should grab it
Playerbase is small but from what I know there has been several updates
@@JDogth3Wise 200 players playing rn
"All these extraction games have one thing in common, HACKERS! -Fixed
facts but no one wants to talk about that issue
I haven’t ever came across another ship in the pre raid area. Does that mean nobody is there with me?
Do you run into other players in the station?
@@JDogth3Wise not a lot no. It’s normally bots.
Hey how can we quick grab items without dragging
That’s what I want to know
Ctrl + click
Ctrl + click
No one else has really mastered the setting either
before you buy ! realize players can disable anti cheat and get into matches with players who have it enable... it's way too easy all you do is edit a text file
currently the sound when you move is atrocious. Not only are footsteps not accurate to where the person is, the ECHO is fucking AWFUL
Its extremely easy to hear if someone is above or below you
great video!
Do you still play?
How do I actually use a lockpick?
Just have it in inventory when you interact with something that says "locked" when you mouse over it.
@@gruglife375 I've since realized it was the depot door which didn't unlock for me. I thought I should use a blow torch on it but are they only for the vault doors?
@@GameMakerRob this is half a year late but depots need special depot tokens that you can usually find on the pre-placed bodies on the map.
song name? :o
Blue Dream by Cheel
Those free items don't always spawn
How does your game look so good? im running at 2k, on high, and i have this awful film grain that you dont seem to have
Probably the extra contrast added during editing TBH
You say you can pilot some of the AI ships, do you mean the trader one!!?
No they have a blue ship that patrols around you can steal
@@JDogth3Wise yeah I found out that today lol. Got 2 of them now. Back to back. :)
300-800 ppl playing this on steam charts :( so bad its dead seems good
:(
Marauders and cycle are showing that as soon as there’s something else, Tarkov will fade away. The fanboys will cry that the games aren’t as detailed or this that or whatever, but at the end of the day most the people just want a fun casual experience. Hardcore games don’t have a wide player base and that’s because most people aren’t streamers playing a game for hundreds of hours a wipe. So you can enjoy your Tarkov, I enjoy it to, but to be satisfied with the state of the game after 7 years of active development is a hard sell. I’d be willing to say most people just like it because it’s all that there is like it, it corners the market, and as stated as soon as something actually fully comparable comes out everyone will jump ship leaving BSG with nothing.
Tarkov won't die exactly because it's a hardcore game,best of its kind. Complain all you want but it's gonna be a while before any game like it comes close unfortunately
@@deadwinterrider4104 Tarkov has no way to keep servers up beyond launch unless they continue to sell things, and considering it’s taken so long to release most people have all future DLC purchased already by having EOD. So a good chunk of their current consumer base have already spent everything they will on the game. Servers aren’t free. And without casual players buying in they won’t be making any money. The reason hardcore games don’t sell as well as other games is because they are niche market. Not enough customers.
How do you not take so much damage.
Good armor!
Good armor is the Key in this game, like more than weapon.
Does this have controller support?
No, may see controller support in the future.
@@CallMeMilenko I’m guessing though you can map a controller through steam?
@@danangdevils Possibly. I haven't tried.
Hipfiring can save your life if you know what you’re doing
It has for me in real war.
Is this game relatable to Rust? i'm wondering
no not at all
"all the loot in the map" you can't carry all the loot in the map. even with a team of 4, the map has enough stuff that you still have to pick and choose what you want to exit with. AND its best to leave with a full backpack. no reason to leave with half empty backpack. fill up, max out slots, then dip.
It's a figure of speech?
Dogg shit the wise.
💩

Wish i could just get into a raid, queue times are terrible. just bought the game and cant even get into a raid.
also you are probably going to be constantly killed by the top 10 players in the game . if there's an event worth going to good chance you go there and get killed by one of the top 10 players
Escape pods? Hiding? Small loot gains? This doesn’t sound very chad of you.
Life isn't all about the W key
Oio
A lot of people in here think they have tips and tricks because it works for them a few times. I promise you, it doesn't.
I wanna like this gane but it is just filled with cheaters... its a shame
I arrived at the DayZ mod in it's dying days. Discovered the mod of the mod, DayZero which was amazing and then walked away from the dumpster fire that was DayZ standalone. When I saw early footage of Escape from Tarkov, I knew that finally a shooter had entered the market that met my expectations. All of these looter shooter derivatives miss the mark so badly. I'm not interested in loot, it's secondary. I'm interested in surviving. That's what Tarkov does so well. Everything else I see imitating Tarkov seems so arcady and cheap.
Unfortunately tarkov is falling off and the hype is so far gone until they release streets
like how he says its promising and just 5 months later the games dead
It kinda got revived now with the new update
Already full of cheats which is sad as they ruin all pvp games.
game feels horrible to play
That's just like, your opinion, man.
@@JDogth3Wise OHH YEAH FOR SURE. sorry i didn't mean to come off so negative. i can see the potential i just feel the aim feels very floaty and that's mostly what I'm referring to. and the movement also feels awfully janky.
Game is absolute dog water. 0/10
why do i need food in this game?
Takes out the white part of your stamina bar and heals you a little
1 thing I wish I knew was that the game is dead and you will just be farmed by the same 100 TTVers
really sucks that the game is dead now. Can't get a match without a cheater. They need to fix their security problems and add a pve for the other people.
