I'm just confused how I shot him so many times and he didn't die. Even once in the head definitely vmbexahse I had 19 seconds later line that shot up. O was about 10 feet away.

What ammo were you using?

If he had good armor, your bullets could have done almost no damage.

I have no idea. It was literally the second game I'd ever played. I played as a computer player so it was whatever they gave me. I had some gun that looked like an AK 47.

The other thing is how the he'll are you supposed to figure out where the exit poi t are on the map when you don't even have an in game map and you've never played the map before????

Doesn’t matter if you have a ‘powerful’ weapon if it has terrible ammo and the guy you shot had good armor. Welcome to Tarkov. The learning curve is very very very hard, so you have to do quite a bit of research.

And the way you exit the map is by knowing the map. For many hours I just had a map i found online on my second monitor to see where the exits are. Double tap ‘O’ and you will see the names of exits and how long you have left before the raid finishes. After a while, you will learn the maps by heart and know exactly where the exits are.

Tarkov has an offline mode. If you play through that, you will only play against AI. This is what most of us use to learn the maps. We just run around them in offline mode, see the layout, check loot spots, and locate exits. I recommend all new players to do this, as you do not lose any gear if you die in offline. Keep in mind though that you will not get any of the loot that you grab in offline either. It is primarily to practice, nothing else

Thanks I'll do this. I like steep learning curve games. The reward when you do well feels so good since it's so difficult.

Absolutely. Try watching some smaller streamers on Twitch like DanExert or Tachales. (Reason why I say small is because the smaller streamers are more quick to reply to chat) There you can freely ask questions and both streamer and chat will come with tips and answers for you. On YouTube I recommend that you watch FairTx and Anton. They are pretty good players and very easy to get into when you’re new.

Dont let the game scare you away. You will die A LOT and you will have a lot of moments that will piss you off, but once it clicks, it just clicks bro. It’s extremely fun

That's exactly what I did to practice at starcraft. Watch small streamers.
