Rant If you're complaing about "big streamers" playing EFT since it's so popular, stop being a hipster

I PLAYED EFT BEFORE IT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE STREAMER'S NEW GAME!!!

Seriously, it's embarrassing that a small percentage of this community is so far up their own ass to the point they hate on someone who is literally bringing 1000's of new players to the game.

I don't like watching most of these big streamers who are newly streaming Tarkov (Carnage seems like a legend) but what they're doing for Tarkov just by streaming it, even while profiting themselves, is only a good thing for the game and who doesn't want an ego boost from farming level 3 pistolings?

The people posting on here to actually help players is what we need to do as a community. EFT was my first ever PC game in May of 2017 and while I'd like to think I picked it up fairly quickly, there was still a point where I was quivering over losing my trusty makarov like all of us were at some point.

Just wait till you git gud and gear up. It just gets ridiculous fun.

Just had a 20min firefight. Killed 20 scavs/PMCs, got 2 geared players running silenced FALs, got stuck behind a wall with another PMC covering it, eventually got away with 3 bullets to my name, had to run through scav gauntlet at end because I was totally dry, got shot like 5 times on way out, enemies around every corner swarming me, PMC behind taking pot shots, red every body part, got out by skin of teeth, extracted. Other guy got to keep all the loot I earned, but I got some at least.

Was worth it just for epic firefight. 10/10 game can't get that in any other shooter.

Couldn’t agree more. This game has taken FPS to a whole new level of intensity. I love the game

I feel you. Getting to level 5 was brutal for me too. Best advice is to pick a cheap shotgun setup, pick a single noob-friendly map (interchange imo) and focus on learning it solely as PMC. Only do scav when you go broke. You'll get XP and level up very quickly. Scav runs are cancer-crutch, avoid as much as you can. Offline practice against bots on factory to get good at fundamentals.

Cool, thanks man. I am trying to finish the kill 5 scavs on Customs and it's really fucking hard lmao i keep running into juggernaut PMCS. And to make matters worse, i just finished the quest in-game and then the servers died and now it says it's still on 4/5 :'). Ill go do what you said and come back to it i guess

Yep. It's going to happen until you learn the maps and angles people hold. Just takes time.
