The Most Useful Tarkov Tips I've Learned After 4000 Hours

i had always known of escape from tarkov's existence from the moment it was officially announced at the time it seemed extremely promising but getting my hands on a playable version looked to be years and years ahead so i shelved my hype in anticipation and frankly i kind of forgot about the game then roughly four or five wipes ago while sitting around bored and not really having a game that captured my interest a relatively new online friend that i'd met through star citizen asked me if i had played escape from tarkov once he learned of my background in firearms well no i said isn't it still in development and he said yes but it's definitely playable and i should give it a try to make a long story short i was instantly hooked and since then i have logged over 4 000 hours in this game that we all love to celebrate this milestone i figured i would offer some of my best tips and tricks that i have learned over the course of all these hours so that those of you who are new to the game might learn a thing or two and even if you're not new to the game you might pick up something useful there's no real rhyme or reason to these tips so i'm just gonna rattle them off okay here we go you can instantly scroll to the top or bottom of your stash by pushing page up or page down if you click and hold an item it will move with you after a new wipe you'll have to examine a ton of items rather than right clicking and choosing examine just press your middle mouse button over the item turn your interface volume down to 20 or 30. this will decrease all kinds of ui noises including the clicking sound of loading magazines and you'll hear things around you much better if you have an nvidia gpu right click your desktop and open the nvidia control panel under display select adjust desktop color settings under the gamma slider increase your gamma anywhere between 1.2 and 1.5 depending on your preference this will brighten up dark areas in tarkov without washing out the image if you're in a hallway stalemate and have a flashlight equipped on your gun use alt plus s to lean your gun around the corner with the flashlight engaged your enemy will think you're peaking and will usually spray the door frame then push him whenever your loads when taking fire from a sniper look down at the ground while you run for cover this will maximize the chance that a round will hit your helmet and hopefully ricochet rather than hit your face regardless of what anyone tells you upgrading and using your hideout to craft items will almost always make you more money in the long run than if you decided not to to avoid seeing sold out offers on the flea set the minimum quantity to 1 on your flea market preferences when you die don't pay therapists to heal you instead heal yourself in the hideout from a grisly medical bag you'll gain a little xp each time and i think it's cheaper too ammunition types and varieties can be extremely confusing when you're new to the game bookmark no food after midnight's ammo chart to easily see how effective different rounds are against different classes of armor as well as their damage and a bunch of other useful stats a link to this chart is in the description repairing guns and armor will count towards the money you've spent with a specific trader this is very helpful with skier in particular so if you're struggling to hit the money requirements to level up a trader try repairing your items with that trader while healing or performing surgery you can reload your gun without any animations while in a healing or surgery animation right-click a full magazine and select install it will instantly load a full magazine in your gun you don't need to play an entire healing animation while healing press left mouse as soon as you see the experience gain for healing and it will cancel the animation early but you almost always get the full amount of health this is particularly useful for the grizzly medical kit which has a super long animation keep in mind that if you cancel the heal early with a grizzly it will not heal status effects such as bleeds or fractures your character dies instantly if your head or thorax is below zero hp when receiving damage regardless of the health of your other limbs if you're hurt prioritize healing your head or thorax first by dragging your medical item to these body parts then you can heal normally after that all guns have less accuracy and more bullet spread the lower its condition is they're also more prone to experience malfunctions if accuracy and reliability matter to you try not to heavily modify scav guns and purchase a new gun instead when browsing the flea market you can return to your stash just by hitting tab when you select the flea market again you'll return to whatever you were previously looking at if you're having a hard time with pvp or want to avoid pvp as much as possible select a server from the launcher that has an acceptable ping that is not a major population center while not guaranteed you will often get lobbies that are not full and lastly there is no right or wrong way to play tarkov you can do all the quests in the game get kappa and run meta guns and you can also ignore quests and just play maps you enjoy or use guns that you like for example we have a player in our discord that has level 3 mastery with the mosin and he only runs the mosin and has fun you can be the first player in a raid right after a wipe or you can jump into the game with only a week or two left in the wipe there's no such thing as being bad at the game and you can't fall behind my number one tarkov tip don't compare yourself to other players and just enjoy the game the way that you want to enjoy it these are just a few tips i've learned over the years
