Simple Tips to be better at Tarkov

  • Be Patient : If you hear someone nearby, freeze and pinpoint them exactly. If you hear them and then suddenly hear nothing, it means they are pinpointing you. Take your time and listen. Stop sprinting so much.

  • Understanding Combat Leverage : If you have someone pinned or know they can only go/be so many places and they know you can be ‘anywhere’, keep that leverage. No need to rush in and turn the fight into a 50/50 coin-flip. If you realize your opponent has better leverage than you, back up, run wide and reassess. Run wide as in literally sprint away/around for 30 seconds while keeping the enemies perspective in your head. As soon as combat starts, I am constantly considering possible movements for the enemy and myself.

  • Forward Thinking : If you see someone off in the distance that you ultimately want to hunt or expect them to get closer, start running scenarios of where they could be and how quickly they could’ve gotten somewhere. Put yourself in their shoes and predict where they will be before they get there. Imagine their pathing. If a PMC can be there, then a PMC will be there. Assume it and you won’t be caught off guard.

    • Scanning the Area : Use your scopes to continually zoom in on the space ahead of where you are moving. Sounds obvious but go ahead and zoom your HAMR on that bush 40 yards away. Constantly zoom in and out at everything. EVERYTHING. Left, right, behind, stay zooming in. You aren’t as good as the streamers, no more red-dots only. Bring a combo.
  • Know Spawns : A significant amount of PMC combat takes place within 3 minutes of spawning. Do yourself a favor and peep spawn points and ASSUME a PMC spawned as close as possible to you.

  • Trust your Ears : If you heard something but not sure, ASSUME you did. More times than not that one off sound was the PMC that killed you.

  • Take the smart shot, not the expensive shot. Just bc you can doesn’t mean you should.

  • Aim for the head. Simple. Try that single fire mode.
