one thing to note with rushing tech in interchange as a new player: everyone else does too and most of them know the map and how to kill you. its worthwhile learning some stash runs (interchange, customs and especially shoreline are all really good for this) for a more relaxed pace, and with the multiple buffs to safe loot tables safe runs as well once youre a bit more comfortable with the game. now that hatchet running doesnt exist and FIR is a thing running interchange as a new player is going to be pretty brutal because that map is lethal.

deadseedinside posted:running interchange is probably least lethal map to get rich on interchange is a very vertical map and on eu at least is squad central, and the tech stores in particular see a lot of foot traffic. its def a lot quieter to run around outside or around the outskirts on customs or even shoreline and its probably a better choice for new players to get their bearings on while building up a bank. if you're going in with other people then sure, but a new player running solo, thats a really deadly map. hakimashou posted:And more to the point, if you're just grinding it to fill up your butt coin machine like you should do, success is solely measured by getting to the graphics card before the other guy does, and if you die it doesn't matter at all. theres a pretty big gap between starting the game fresh and getting to the bitcoin machine though, including a lot of hideout upgrades that can cost a decent amount of money. with the FIR changes stashes and safes are a lot more reliable for actual spendable resources early on, especially for newer players, and you can often do them while doing the earliest quests. you dont want to be running interchange at level 1 when your tasks are customs focused, but you still need to make money.

deadseedinside posted:exactly. squads don't move anywhere near as fast as 1 man with a pistol. You will always beat them to the goods. Interchange is one of the best places for a solo to wipe a 5man too. and then they pop you on the way out and we live in FIR times. we're talking new players theyre not going to wipe anything. quote:not sure what the vertical part affects when you're just sprinting for the gold. Looting stashes is profitable but a slower (and significantly more boring way to make bank). Shoreline is easily best money map, but that really only shines once you get some keys on you. Even just for straight loot running, the interchange garage is a non-stop 10min runthrough that will consistently net you 500k per raid and often more. its an extra thing to be aware of at a time when a new player is learning the basics of how the game works. removing that until youre more comfortable with simply moving around and looting and dealing with scavs helps with the huge learning curve. looting stashes is very safe and can be done in conjunction with the early game tasks, it keeps you on the map for longer so you can get more acclimatised to it and learn the flow of the game, and it keeps your combat situations more manageable. youll meet people far less often and it'll usually just be another solo player, who probably isnt extremely good at the game because theyre also avoiding the players rushing for the pvp hot spots. straight loot running isnt really something new players should be doing if they can avoid it, loot running alongside tasks and scav hunting is where you want to find your feet with the game. quote:doing the initial power grind to BTC miner will net you forever income and float you for the rest of the game so you don't have to skulk around the edges of maps just hitting stashes and avoiding the fun parts of the game. again for a new player attempting a power grind to a btc miner is going to make you hate the game probably. its much better to start slow as theres a lot to take in in the game. tech running for brand new players was a lot more viable when that gpu you found was cash no matter what, when its "you can use it in the miner eventually" which is itself locked behind multiple trader levels and a lot of expensive hideout upgrades that are going to take a new player far longer to hit its not as useful, especially when money is a common concern for people starting out. in comparison running stashes lets you leave raid alive more often, and safes give a much more reliable income from stuff that doesnt need fir to get you cash and doesnt need your hideout already setup to the point you can use gpus. have to consider what new players not being chaperoned are going to come up against and how much there is to take in at first.

deadseedinside posted:lol  lol quote:There is absolutely a vertical learning curve for tarkov and the people that tend to enjoy and stick with the game are the ones that got into it for that exact reason. at no point mentioned extract camping, i was talking about getting killed inside the mall trying to get out of the tech areas. this is especially true for a new solo player who is not going to be the quickest looter or familiar with the map. ive died to a single extract camper ever so im def not talking about that lol quote:Getting good at the game requires playing the game and just skulking around the edges of the map is a way to get bored and stop playing because it's boring. The best way to learn the game aspects are to throw yourself into the meat grinder and get over gear fear right off the hop. Literally none of it matters and it's almost impossible to actually go broke in tarkov even if you're are terrible at the game (which everyone is). Running stashes IS just loot running and will not actually help you progress through the lovely early stages of PMC evolution. Getting your hands dirty and not worrying about dying will elevate you 100 times faster and get you farther than ratting around the peripherals by yourself endlessly. Fwiw, i prefer to do most of my questing and whatnot solo simply because i find it easier to actually get poo poo done and not get your poo poo pushed in by 5mans. Solo you are always in control of when to go, when to wait, when to shoot and when to run. Solo play and Squad play are very different beasts in tarkov but either way or a combination can make you better, faster, stronger and richer quicker. hitting up stashes as you go through customs getting tasks done isnt the same as chain rushing tech in interchange. one is purely loot running, the other is a way to bolster your income while focusing on learning maps and getting tasks done, which will progress you through the early game. i agree the best way to learn the game is to throw yourself into it, but there is still a limitation to what you should be doing. someone throwing themselves into dorms mindlessly is probably going to have a worse time learning the game than someone playing a bit more carefully. you still need to go into the map to get tasks done and should be doing that, but keeping to the quieter areas when youre literally learning the layout of the map, how scavs work, how the audio works etc is going to soften the learning curve and let new players control how hectic they want things to get because it puts them in a position to hear fighting happening and then choose whether to go into it or not. as for playing quietly being boring, it really depends on the person! some people will find it boring, but theyre also much more likely to then seek out other people to play with. i find both skulking around quietly and sprinting around like an idiot fun in different ways.

although i think you should use scav runs to do pure loot runs thats where its at. if youre new and learning the game always use your scav run off cooldown, use them to learn new maps and to get your bank up.

until you have a good handle over how guns control in tarkov in general and the gun you are specifically using controls yes youre often better off stopping to fire and then moving rather than trying to cs jiggle around.

DrPop posted:I have just learned that the bunkers on Woods are basically sensory deprivation chambers. You can barely hear anything happening outside or around them when you are inside. Was doing a duo just now and thankfully my buddy was keeping watch outside and heard someone come in while I was looting and was able to gank him as he walked full-speed into the entrance. Good to know! does that mean theyve stopped them making noises like youre walking through the bushes on the surface when youre inside them too

playing solo is the way to go, learning the maps goes a lot easier and quicker when youre actually exploring the map and not just being ran around. also the games more fun solo, more intense, more rewarding when you wipe a squad and get all the loot out etc. the lack of squad indicators owns because it lets you actually take on squads solo once you get comfortable with the maps and the combat because you dont have to worry about anything but shooting everyone you see.Just Chamber posted:the gunplay isnt great [...] map design etc etc i was with you until here lol the gunplay and the map design is part of what makes it so good to me

Roman posted:I'm down to 8000 rubles after a bunch of solo runs to kill scavs on customs for the quest, buying an sks each time and carrying only 10 of my new year's gift bp, because i was told that was the only gun i should be using and all the other ammo types in the game are useless. i somehow killed one scav and just got instakilled out of nowhere every other time. i ended up not taking any armor or meds or whatever after the first 2 runs because you die instantly to everything and i would just lose it all anyway so who cares. now i have to wait to see if insurance gets any of the guns back in a couple days. my last run was knife only because why not. i tested it on a scav, and preliminary results indicate knives are useless. fun game! keep your meds in your secure so you can heal but dont lose them if you die. you can put extra ammo there as well if you want. this early in the wipe and especially given that you are trying to kill scavs primarily right now, dont worry too much about using the right guns etc. just try stuff out, find one thats comfortable. just go in with a pistol and a rig even! also if you get down to nothing i believe there is some safety thing where youll get bailed out with some cash, i dont know if thats still around and how exactly it triggers and what you get though, someone else will certainly know.

Roman posted:yes yeah shoreline is really nice for scav runs when youre learning, its a great combo of decent loot but both relatively large and with other players concentrated in an area you can avoid. gives you a chance to make some money and get your bearings in the game a bit more easily. scav runs are just great in general, always worth throwing them into a map off cooldown

with surviving the start of customs, its down to know where youve spawned quickly. there are players who will rush nearby spawn spots immediately and around big red theyre extremely close together so you need to move straight away, preferably away from the other players if youre not looking for a fight.

the warehouse side custom spawns are very punishing and prob need tweaking. its one of the only spots id say you want to learn spawns for early on, if you spawn on the road you have to just leave the area immediately or fight another pmc.
