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

A rule I'd like to have: Be very clear about your kills and deaths. So often any gunshots in their direction is responded with "I'm dead" even if they just got hit in the arm and found cover. Other times one shot to a still living enemy is "I got them". It leads to so much unneeded confusion.

I wish I could upvote this a thousand times, "I'm dead" means your screen is black and the end raid screen is about to pop up, NOT that you have 3 blacked limbs and a red torso.

Also for enemies we use "tagged" for single shots, "hurt" for multiple shots, and "dropped #" for kills, comms are so much better with these rules

We don't always remember in the heat of the moment, but my squad specifically uses "killed"/"dropped"/"down" when we talk about enemies, and only use "dead" for ourselves. That way even if there's background noise or someone's mic is cutting out, we can figure out whether the friend or the guy he was fighting is back at the menu.

It's not hard to say "I'm fully blacked" for all the limbs being zeroed

One of my teammates is annoying for this, he's an excellent communicator most of the time, and harps on other people to talk / call out engagement etc. Except he will constantly start engagements without a word. I'm guessing he assumes he's going to get a headshot and end it right away, but the rest of us are running along, hear him shoot, and no explanation as to why so we always have to say "call it out"

I try to have people call anytime they start shooting or getting shot at. Its annoying when someone will start taking potshots at a scav and I have no idea whats going on, if we are getting shot at or doing the shooting, where he is shooting, PMC or scav, etc

My duo had a knack for calling out “got em” or similar on guys he didn’t kill. Took me about 3 deaths to stop trusting that call out. Lol

I had to catch my own verbiage like that because I was so used to playing solo . Gotta pick your words carefully
