How to Play Tarkov SOLO | Escape From Tarkov

As a former solo player with close to 3k hours who just got their solo anxiety back, videos like this always help honestly!

Another thing to pile onto the "Aggression is how you fight a squad" part, confusion is your best friend. You know where you are (no duh), but they don't always know exactly where their friends are 24/7. The messy and confusing you can make it, the better, and the more enemies in the squad the easier it can be. Of course, good squads won't have as much trouble communicating so it's not always a guarantee, but sometimes that 1-2 seconds of confirmation in the squad chat can be more than enough.

It is always a good day when our favorite talking balaklava and SSh uploads

The part about a teammate rating a body is so true. Those guys will sit there watching their friend's body until there is 5mins left in the raid

Tip 2 hits me so hard. I basically have schizophrenia when I am playing any survival pvp games. I basically go full schizo when I don’t recall opening/closing a door at times even though I had did it.

I'd replace the Zag with perfotoran in your injector case. It heals and blocks bleeds for a minute(As opposed to Zag's 3 minutes), but it gives you 1.5hp/s(90 in total) and it's a nice alternative to a propital if you get an arm heavy bleed and chip damage all over the rest of your body. Unless they removed the craft for it or something and made it a pain to get.

"They had terrible aim and lacked object permanence" Lmao

Using nades as a litmus test for if a guy is gonna rat his friends body is actually a really good tactic, I'll be using that one in future raids! Also your logic and explanation for prioritizing who to push in a squad fight was really good, I felt a little embarrassed that I hadn't considered it from that angle before! I also probably need to learn when to leave the loot behind haha

Probably the best video I’ve seen for solos. Clear and to the point with examples, love it.

“ITS A GRENADE” with the facial expression and hand slice sent me bro😂😂😂

eTG-C is amazing for one reason imo...surgery buff. I pop one when I get blacked out early in raid. You get a great heal on your limbs. Good enough to justify pushing into the raid rather than extracting. Obviously if the players you killed are juiced then it's kind of up to you. Don't be to prideful to dip either. Solo is a different animal. No one is carrying your gear out or hiding it. It's you and you alone better to get out with some things than dying and losing everything. You can play ultra aggressive if you want. It's the superior way to play. Playing with teammates sucks when you die. You have to wait for them to get out. You die as a solo it's slap together another kit and out the door you go. So don't feel bad taking on that 3 stack and killing one or two of them. You'll be back in raid before your kills will be. Just killing one or two ruins the raid for them. Play aggressive until you have something to lose, quest high value barter item etc then survive.

Congrats on 101K subs my guys ! It's bin along road glad to see you made it !

This was actually S-Tier advice for solos. Great video!

As a current lvl 25 Solo (Neutralizer); within 30 seconds of hearing you speak, subscribed, liked, fullscreened. Everything you said is the exact list of personal tips I have currently. Love this video.

This might be the single most useful Tarkov Tips video I've ever seen.

Great video, as always. You are one of the best content creators for Tarkov on YouTube. Keep it up!

Fun fact (or not, i really don't know how well known this is) the way scav detection of grenades works makes it so that tossing one in their vicinity triggers their "grenade warning" voice clip rather then them actually seeing it, which makes it very easy to get a general gauge of how many there are and where they are. Not as useful as a PMC fighting tip but if your legs are blacked, armor's dead, full of loot, and your extract is just past a big scav hub, a grenade or two is great to prevent getting caught off guard

Love the use of your dart board btw Solo / group injector case setup I've ran basically every wipe is : 3x SJ6 3x Propital 1x MULE 1x Zagustin 1x SJ1 I always pack extra SJ6's either for bad spawns, need to heavily disengage/flank, and fast track to exfil. Propital is basically my primary pain med, sometimes I run vaseline in my pockets, but usually propital is my go to. MULE is self explanatory, should only need one. I basically never use zagustin, I double bind a colak and army bandage in every kit. SJ1's are great for fast tracking to exfil even faster if you don't have max strength/endurance. (Also helps you get into cheeky rat spots early on)

Great video! Couple more points: When using grenades, know the fuse timer on them. The VOGs (17 and 25) will explode almost like an impact grenade, which is either great if you're going for grenadier kills, but really tough for pushing out ratting players. F1s/ RGD-5s will give you a better all around experience, with fuses like 5s timers. My personal favorite is the M67, with a 10s fuse. They throw the farthest, and with such a long cook time, you can make a play on someone's position before it goes off. Dorms PVP is changed when you have a super long grenade timer -- you can throw a nade to contain someone and then push them while they hide. Adrenaline > morphine, as the adrenaline can heal you a tiny bit in PVP. If you are new to the game or just don't own EOD, don't be afraid to buy a beta container from Peacekeeper early on. Sure, it will run about 1 million rubles, but you get an extra space which lets you run surgery + docs case early on. If you're running solo, don't be afraid to run your good ammo. But, make sure you're running like 1 or 2 extra magazines. You don't need 4 20 rounders for an SR25 or an MDR -- save ammo by running fewer mags and just packing when you get the opportunity. Especially for ammos like 7.62 M61/M62, where they can change an engagement with one thorax shot, just run fewer mags and focus on accurate fire. Dying with a meta gun sucks, but running out of good ammo to run in your meta guns equally sucks. I play with a guy who runs super meta SR25s, M4s and Mk47s but he loses so many engagements because he has terrible ammo availability. Running your good ammo but being conservative with your spare ammo will keep you in fights across multiple raids. Building off the last point, be fast and be light in your raids. Play your raids like a game of speed chess -- make your moves, stick with them, and be quick. Play your objective for the raid -- PMC kills on Shoreline? Play towards resort. Boss kills on maps? Make sure to abuse the packet loss indicator -- get out and reset. The faster you get into and out of raids, the faster you'll level, and get access to better gear and make money. People know the rotations and timings on maps, so try to stay with the flow to avoid contact, or disrupt the flow for others.

I absolutely love that your bluescreen is held up by darts on a dart board. Fabulous.
