Tarkov is a full-fledged shooter that combines the format of a royal battle and a military shooter and requires players to constantly make combat missions to obtain new weapons and equipment and obtain ammunition and grenades with medicine for constant battles with representatives of enemy PMCs and gangs of bandits.
To strengthen your operative and change the starting equipment, which initially does not differ in quality and capabilities for effective aiming, and even cartridges have a wedge chance, but constant forays for the sake of obtaining high-quality items, or earning Tarkov rubles can significantly change the situation for the better.
Loot may be more important than fighting
Many players who go on a combat mission to obtain equipment and weapons immediately begin to get nervous when they see opponents or bandits and immediately begin to engage in battle with them without any need and risk everything – from property to their lives.
Sometimes you just need to be able to observe, skip and engage in battles only when necessary.
Sometimes it is even safer and more profitable not to approach the collection zone of valuable items yourself, but to wait until the enemy collects everything himself and simply attack him and get not only new equipment, but also all the enemy’s equipment that was not previously insured.
Your main task is to enter the danger zone, find points with equipment, or get them in battle, fill up all your inventory and go back with it to make all the loot your own and strengthen your character with it, or sell it on the market, receiving eft rubles. You can also use sites like Skycoach.gg
Ignore the bandits
Many players have fun by starting to attack large groups of bandits during combat outings, destroying them.
There are two big downsides to this gameplay.
Bandits almost never have any valuable items, and their weapons and ammunition often have rust and frequent wedges, so such loot is not particularly valuable.
Bandits almost always act in gangs and, due to the large number of enemies, they can kill you randomly and then all your uninsured equipment will be picked up by other players, or will go on sale in a trading store.
Your fight with bandits may attract other players, who may come running at the noise and kill you in the back, and then they will simply collect your loot and weapons.
Don’t be lazy to search every mining point
The fact is that in Tarkov, there are many points in which there could potentially be valuable objects and, if possible, you need to search them all because you never know where the sight will be, or even a ticket and pass to the laboratory.
Such tickets are very rare because they give you the right to enter a special territory with a large amount of different property and equipment, and for a certain time, you can collect everything you want and take it to a peaceful zone to make it yours.
You can sell the ticket or all the equipment and get a lot of Escape from Tarkov rubles.
Find two types of weapons with different ammo
In Tarkov you never know at what moment you will encounter the enemy, so you need to be ready for battles at any distance and have all the necessary weapons and means for this.
It is not profitable to have two identical assault rifles, or rather weapons with the same cartridges, because when the ammunition runs out you will be completely left without cartridges, and this is not right. You should have two types of weapons with different types of cartridges – 5.45 and 7.62, then you will have a large amount of ammunition for protracted battles.
Look for two types of sights
There are several types of sights in Tarkov that can be used for different scenarios in combat. They can be obtained during a hunt, or bought for Tarkov rubles.
Use a red dot sight for close to mid-range combat that uses laser technology to draw a line and pinpoint the enemy’s exact position so you don’t miss them. Since frequent battles will await you indoors, it is the red dot sight that will help you.
You also need a long-range sight, which will help you identify enemies at a long distance. They are placed on sniper rifles, or assault rifles, to conduct reconnaissance and shoot enemies, no matter what distance they are at. The only exception is close battles, in which you will simply quickly lose sight of mobile enemies and die.
Try to upgrade your assault rifle
It’s not enough to just spend eight rubles and buy or find an assault rifle. It needs to be improved to add accuracy and safety when shooting.
You need a flash suppressor, which will make it much more difficult to locate your targets. It will not muffle the sound of a shot, but it will not create bright flashes, and it will be more difficult for the enemy to understand where the fire is coming from.
Install a stabilizer handle – this is an accessory that will significantly improve your accuracy when firing. You will be able to fire all 30 rounds with the same accuracy, and your aim will fluctuate less when firing.
Install a double magazine for ammunition – the more ammunition you have, the longer you can protect yourself from enemies and fight in order to impose the initiative without wasting time on reloading.
Find and use grenades
In Tarkov you can find assault and smoke grenades, which will greatly help in defense or attacking opponents.
If you know where the enemy is, then you can easily knock him out by simply throwing a grenade and keeping an eye on the exit points, because the enemy will either have to die from the explosion and shrapnel, or come out and run into your bullets.
When defending, you can throw grenades and fight, forcing enemies to quickly rearrange and look for cover so as not to receive a bullet or damage from shrapnel.
Smoke bombs will block your vision when retreating from positions and will force enemies to wait for the smoke to clear or attack blindly, but then, when you exit the smoke, you will see enemies before they see you.
