The biggest advantage of having a squad is that sometimes the guy in a bush a hundred yards away will shoot your buddy in the jaw instead of you, giving you time to react. When you're solo, you're the only target.

playing with friends is just so much more fun it’s so cool to actually give these callouts and have them matter unlike other shooters

Ive been playing solo for the basically since I started since my friends who got me on quit. But this wipe I decided to play a few with groups to get quests done faster and ended up falling in with a good group of dudes who have years of experience at this game. So as someone whos done both Id say, solo is good for your to test your individual skillset but its nice to have a good group of people to run with because you can exchange knowledge like good loot runs, tactics, pathing, etc. Which are much harder to learn as a solo or even from a youtube video.

I’ve been playing for about 600 hours solo with some duo and quad teams. Overall, I feel that playing solo allows me to move throughout the map with more fluidity. The shooting and repositioning for me has become second nature to where I feel confident taking on three mans and maybe quads from the right angle with the right avenues for flanking. However, it also allows me to disappear without a trace. Tracking a solo is much harder as your profile is much lower. Remember to only takes fights in your advantage and be patient. Great video!

I'm so proud of myself whenever I can get away with a cheeky team wipe. Had a really good one against a 3-man squad the other day using just a Mosin and a MP-133 on Customs. Left the raid with a SCAR, decked out ADAR, and all kinds of goodies from their team's previous kills. Playing solo has one distinct advantage; you don't have to share any loot. Not to mention the overwhelming satisfaction of a successful raid where you came out on top over several other players. That feeling is always gonna feel like a drug to me.

I’m an experienced player with many wipes under my belt and I still learn/relearn something new every-time I watch you.

Just a tip, when you voice line AI will instantly voice line back. You can identify if its AI or player scav/pmc.

There is something so calming about a british person narrating anything at all, let alone the chaos of tarkov.

I’ve got over 13 friends that own tarkov, but as much as I like playing with each one, only a couple are actually coordinated, some would wander off and we’d have to wait to regroup. I play with them anyways , but I usually like to play with 3 people at most.

I honestly think playing solo makes it easier to progress, can focus on your own task and items, having a buddy or 2 is nice but sometimes it slows down your individual progression when helping them with their own task you’ve already completed

3rd wipe here and finally beginning to pick the game up well, getting kills, flying through quests that used to seem impossible, lost the pvp adrenaline rush aswell that i used to get, and just enjoying the game a lot more. Really lovin it, ive only ever played solo aswell as its how I prefer to game.

I almost exclusively play this game solo. It makes it more immersive and fun in my opinion. Definitely harder especially when its early wipe and you run across groups!

solo is more rewarding rather than holding hands with friends love the content bro keep it up much love

Unreal video! Thanks so much for the tips. Also at 5:40 I was praying you wouldn't shoot! I was frozen in fear and I'm not even playing 😂

the greatest thing that helpoed me not only solo but just overall was playing offline raids. it allowed me to learn the maps worry free but most importantly practice fighting. of course its only against scavs but after a while you start fighting the boss and that REALLY makes a huge difference i cant recommend it more.

another thing that people don't understand about pvp in this game is that you have the advantage if you are the aggressor, pushing the other guy instead of sitting and holding an angle. I see a lot of these groups that back up when one guy shoots at them, allowing them to be fought much more easily. If they just rushed you they would win the fight. For instance that fight on interchange.

Many people are affraid of solo and thinks squads are safer way to play. On the other hand - you are multiple times easier to spot than solo. Also you can't count on footsteps so much. Also - if squad is badly communicated - as solo player you have upper hand in many gunfights because they need to make sure you are enemy or not.

Ive watched a couple of vids and the editstyle and the gameplay are inspiring and outstanding. i also love that you put the gun builds on the screen. Sub has been secured

Great gaming turned into great YT content! As someone who's owned EFT for over a year but is just now trying to get into it, I find myself playing solo. The bit about taking a group out sneakily, one at a time as they comm to gather their senses, is very much useful to someone that played BR games and was fine and dandy with rushing a 1v4 and taking it with just quick movement and finesse... Tarky is completely different. lol

I think the biggest advantage of playing solo is stealth. One person is exponentially less easy to see than 2, 3, 4, and if you use this to your advantage and play sneaky, solo really isn't that hard

there are alot of small tarkov channels that provides so much good info, im very glad for all of this. hope all of you can reach high numbers eventually. thanks!

very quickly becoming my fav tarkov creator. Earned my sun

I can’t lie, this might be the most helpful video I’ve found so far on pvp and general playstyle. Also love the editing aswell my man, keep up with the videos. Defo got a subscribe and like from me.

For real the quality of what you edit and the content you put out had me floored you only have 7k subs; you deserve more, friend! Good video!

I use to solo all the time, then played with friends and found it hard to solo again. This wipe has been better for me solos again! Also great content. Been following for a while, keep it up.

That adar build is crazy thank you for putting your builds out

Great video dude! Loved it

I don't mind playing solo. I'm not new. This is going to be my 2nd full wipe. I know the maps and game pretty good now. Being new and running solo is scary and overwhelming. But now I prefer to run solo or duo. I like to play sneaky when I'm solo and more aggressive as a duo. I have to say that night raids as a solo are God tier.

Cams across you a while ago and now you are at 6k subs! Good shit mate ❤

Great video mate, love the editing)) Subbed

Dude this is top tier content!!! You've earned a new sub bruv

I just went into a Woods raid and applied this and got out with a t30 full of loot from a lovely lil pmc

Love the patience tbh excellent shots

Always remember, you have an advantage agains a team, when they see a head, the need to confirm if it's enemy or not, when you see a head, shoot no matters what, that second of difference make you gain the battle

great video! I'm not catching up on all the rest. Keep up the awesome work my man.

This game's difficulty curve has been a bell curve for me. Got EOD in 2016 or 2017 and have been playing off and since then. Was really fun, much less stressful time when most of the players were new. Shit there were maybe 1 or 2 streamers at the time for the game, it wasn't popular yet. Then the difficulty increased when I came back once. Mechanics were different, everyone is a meta-chad and getting head eyed across the map. Watching some videos and taking notes on how they play has made it easier this wipe, each day making that survive/death ratio better. If you're new and struggling take this advice: Your either going to die in a bush to someone you never saw, or you're going to die in a firefight where you at least pursued and tried to make a play. It's Tarkov, you accepted losing your gear when you clicked ready. Too often I found myself slow crouch walking or "listening" for minutes on end in pure fear. I die less sprinting and fast walking everywhere, I get more loot, and I get more kills. Sound is a huge part of the game and making sound is a huge fear, but after watching a lot of videos about how sound works in the game, I dont have a fear of moving anymore. Headphones detect sounds at the same distance (at least footsteps) non-headphones do, just at different volumes. That scary chad gunning down the entire server can still be caught off guard and flanked, and definitely can't hear you move out of the bush you were hiding in 3km away. And for gear fear: if you're not selling the gear you're too afraid to use, you've willingly cut that many grids out of your stash. Either you sell it, use it, or lose it. Keeping that meta AK for weeks because you're not confident enough to use it? Just fucking use it, you can't practice with it any other way.

awesome vid i love how you show your gun build

reallly appreciate the build listed, even though i know the parts. Just showing it makes me happy

Being relaxed will indeed help you tons in this game that’s why I smoke myself to a coma before playing

2:48 jump scared the fuck ouit of me just because i am just so used to the random head shots from absolutely no where and i felt that moment personally

I’ve done a lot of factory gaming last wipe solo and had a ton of fun, but now with quests being a thing again man I hate running all these maps solo, i did most of my quests with friends last wipe

Been rolling around with the g36 for 3 days now def a good starter gun

This video gives me early days @2Lew style videos. Brilliant. Love it mate, keep it up, earned a sub.

great content! I'm new to tarkov hopefully i can learn a small bit off this myself

my preferred playstyle is duos. One aggressor one guard aggressor can be loud and flanky while the guard waits for the target to track and make the mistake.

The key is like you said; waiting for that perfect time to take your first shot and drop that first guy with 100% certainty. You drop the first dude without so much as an indication of where they died from and you just watch the others run around like scared animals until you can flank and pick them off from another angle. That rush is something totally different.

I love it when you show your guns before raid ! I will copy some of those :P Thanks

Shocked to see interchange car extract at the end.... over 50 raids on that map only seen it twice this wipe

A fellow Welshman who plays Tarkov? That's a sub

grouping reminds me of 5-mans in factory back in the days of only factory and customs. fun times that was when you already knew on loading in you would lose your gear.

I like playing solo, I used to almost only play with my cousins but I realized the way to make gains is solo. Especially with one of my cousins who took advantage of me and another cousins noobishness, We learned later on, When he says "Loot these filing cabinets" to put our hands in his pocket and follow because he went after the real loot

I have never played EFT before and all (maybe because i can not afford nor play cause of performance) but you make this game so interessting and exciting. Thanks for the vid man great job!

That guardian angel covering up all your mistakes is me. I cannot aim for shit, move well, pick good times to loot, and I quite often get shot by accident.

That shot in the beginning was cold

Great video! You should do build videos!

I only ever watch Deadly and Anton play but this video made me subscribe. I love the chill vibes

I've only played solo it took me a long time to get comfortable I take less traveld loot runs and stay away from fights and move slow and most of the time I can get the drop on people

9:48 - Mans dropped like a sack of potatoes! xD

Solid video, but we need a graphics settings vid, your game looks so clean

oh man that arrow in the thumbnail really helped!

knowing of the invisible PMC bug i bet that guy laying down had no idea you were there and just died.

love your gameplays. !

If you insure your gear, looting multiple pmcs is easy, you can wear their armor and rigs and dump yours in a corner. Woulda helped you on that interchange when you had a usec and azimut in your bag but still had another body and a half to loot and no room for the helmet

Most of my anxiety is tied to lack of Map knowledge and lack of funds like I only got 1k in my stash

I only have poor experiences with a group. Solo is the way to go!

Guy pulled a Drax and thought if he laid really really still he was invisible

1:47 that reminds me of that one vide. I think its name is "look survivors whoops" Basicaly there is a guy and a girl and they run into other survivars amd she is like "mmm he is kinda cute,, and her friend just shoot him and say" whooops,, I really love that one and this "what" just reminded me of it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

0:19 i must have missed out on this part of the EOD edition

I die more often running around with teammates than i do when i slow down & take my time playing solo.

My problem is I just don't know how to spot people. Like when you picked out that guy's head in the trees on shoreline, I would have never spotted him in my life.

Usually play in Duos, will 3-5 man group some time, but it's too crowded. Can't rely on audio too much, pretty much have to bait teammates when they die to get a beat on the fight. My duo and I have solid comms, we go through the maps in offline, mark call outs for hills, buildings, specific rocks/stashes etc. We are constantly moving, we usually split by about 50-100m and then re-group. So kind of like 2 solos, but working with extra intel/flank routes. We kind of did this by accident 2 wipes ago, but we have refined our method of playing to be pretty good together. We generally never sniper together, if someone is using a bolt someone runs a rifle. If someone has a shotgun, the other runs a rifle. We share loot, leap frog loot stashes, and work well together. When we 3+ group, it's a free for all. We still tend to split from the other 3, but are usually within visual contact with the group, just in case they get jumped. And then it's a cluster fuck in discord. I can't enjoy this game solo, gaming for me it's a group thing, so gaming by myself for 99% of games is boring AF.

Bro I sometimes I play 5 man and it’s STRESSFUL trying not to kill each other. Solo is always the easiest route once you have game knowledge. He’s right about confusion in groups. It’s hard to get a good team communicates effectively. I usually stick to duos or trios if playing with friends.

Great video 🎉🎉🎉

Good tips! May i ask for your video and postFX settings? Your interchange clip quality is one of the best ive seen. Usually its way too dark for YT. I hope you reply

With solo you can manoeuvre much better,combined with map knowledge, I can go from one end/level of interchange to the other end/level super fast, combined I always end up looting loads of weapons boxes plus tech light

My adrenaline pumps heavily when playing solo but it's fun cause I shoot first ask questions later

I know this is an old video but really enjoying watching your solo runs

I like how people will say things about how realistic this game is compared to other shooters, then you find out you can't even mantle over anything. You can literally get stuck and lose if you jump behind some furniture.

Only thing keeping me from playing solo is that normally i have like 80-90fps, but when i just HOLD ANYTHING WITH A SCOPE OR STAY NEAR SOMEONE SCOPING AT THE MOMENT i get like 15 fps, (when im using a scope (god forbid anything more than 4x zoom) my game starts to stutter like crazy) best 30 euro ever invested, would buy again ✅️

My biggest issue is that I always expect to run into a 3-5 man when I queue solo and with the way the game is/my skill is I know I can take 1-2 of them but the last 1-3 will take me out so I run cheap gear which in turn, hinders me even more

Excellent work

Monstrum sight is slept on

For me, its not so much the 1v1, its more im walking on shoreline, woods etc, and im shot from a distance out of nowhere. it's usually 80% of my deaths. I don't usually know where it came from, and camping spots change game to game. Would be nice to have a replay feature to watch the round back to see their vision.

What post fx settings do you use? I cannot see half as well as you can in the video. Anything in the distance is pretty much invisible for me 😅

I need to start questing on interchange but man I can't stand that lighting. I don't think half of those dudes even had a clue where you were crouching.

trying my hardest to learn the recoil but its always like im shooting a cannon when i go full auto

holy shit the loot on those guys first raid

Duuude, the poor guy with hatched. Merciless XD

My problem is I can’t hear anything or seee anything so I get caught by surprise and don’t know what to do

I do geared raids but the last one I did I got knifed when I had an Altin and teir 5 armor on factory

If it had been me in that first example i wouldn't have bounced that shot with my helmet it would have landed right between the eyes first shot and there would have been no followup. I know because i went 7 tries deep on clearing the UAVs. And 9 tries deep completing Bunker Part 1. And am currently 5 tries deep on Humanitarian supplies with no progress. It doesn't matter if i kill a whole squad along the way, loot or just ignore and scoot as fast as i can i always get picked off right before extracting. I'm not making it out with a gargantuan haul of loot where i have to make hard decisions on what to take i'm just not making it out. My stash isn't growing in size its got 7 heavy bleeds and i've got no esmerches.

one of the videos ever!

i do reposisioning, but i not land the shots, also time to time enemie spot me and i not had a glue from where... someone told me tarkov has some bug with sound and mine appear to be odd, soo i will check a fix even without knowing if is bugged or not

only issue im having is just running into squads as a solo

My guardian angle is taking a nap lol

great video! can I ask why you aren't usually wearing armor?

My biggest problem with Tarkov is sound as my hearing is shot and Tarkov sounds are shot. So I genuinely struggle to identify where any sounds originate from and I have to play with the volume so loud it hurts, just to have a chance to hear something. Yup that is after turning off Binaural sound.

I just want some tips on how to even spot these people hiding in bushes in the game. Im very new and have issues even spotting players that are hiding or are in a relatively bushy areas. Edit: I meant spotting as in spotting with the naked eye without using any kind of optics.

I hate teaming up in tarkov, I feel so much more confident in my own abilities than that of random that probably don't know the difference between bs and bt 5.45x39
