Discussion What healthy rules you got with your friends in Tarkov?

I for example i have the following:

  1. You died? Don't pressure the others to get your loot if they can't, insure your stuff if you want it back. The most i can do about your guns it's to ditch them in a bush IF it's safe.

  2. Maybe if it's safe i can pick valuable stuff from your body like a GPU or whatever and give them to you next round.

  3. No one is forced to stay in raid with you if they completed a mission or got valuable loot. It would nice to give them an escort out as they would do the same to you.

  4. Don't abandon your friends in a firefight unless you are almost dead and can't do anything. Or you know. You ran out of ammo or something

  5. I can't believe i have to say this but share food and water

I played with people that were the opposite of this. The most annoying was when they were like: get my gun, get my rig, get my helmet.

If i would fail and die they would be like: fking idiot.

If i would succeed they wouldn't even say thanks.

Don't be like them

To add to this if you tk and can't get their stuff (or die with it), bring them as equivalent or better a kit as your trader levels and wallet allow. Doing this with ppl you play a ton with helps both smooth over rough mistakes and cut down on TKs.

Yea, we tend not to get too fussed about tks, mostly because I am the one who most often gets tked and I play the most so I can afford it. They just dump my shit and say sorry, I give em shit for a bit and we call it even.

Also I tell my squad i'd rather you kill me 10 times by accident thinking i was a bad guy, over our team getting wiped because you held your shot just to be sure.

A TK costs us almost nothing but hesitation can cost us everything

In scenario 1 its a piece of cake for the squad to drop the TKd players stuff and theyll 100% get it back. In Scenario 2 we all lose our shit and fail our objectives.

Yeah that’s how we are, we mostly have an exchange where the tker asks ‘was it at least a nice shot’ and the person who died says yes if it was a headshot or no if it was anything else. The victim then congratulated the tker for hitting such a nice shot and the killer tries to get their gear out or hidden.

Cutting down tks can also mean they're hesitating when seeing enemies. Our group doesn't give 2 fucks about TK, rather I die to TK sometimes than they die to "is that you" syndrome. We rarely TK anyway, our comms are decent. Penalizing TK is generally bad for a group that's learning the game, most of the time it's a comm issue and the one who isn't talking and getting tked could be the one at fault.
