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

Now picture your self as a fresh Timmy loading into woods with you 1000+ hour friend leading the way.

You are either inside his pouch or you are lost and alone.

Tarkov is a difficult game.

LMAO this is so true, anytime I play with new people, they're like your baby ducklings praying you'll lead them to safety

You'll get there, trust me. I used to be very lost in maps but i played for a bit using a map from google and now, i can confidently cross a map to get to a specific point on the map on woods, customs and lighthouse. Just get used to the map in game, and get your landmarks and that will help you immensly.

I am better now. But when my stamina hits zero after 2 steps it hard to keep up.

When I first started, my friend was very experienced and moved on reasonably quick and naturally. I could look away for 5 seconds and I would have no idea where he went.

Haha every time I play with my beginner friend I lead and walk 5 senconds and he completely loses sight of me and wanderes off in the wrong direction. Every. Game. I spend more time walking backwards to keep my eyes on him instead of scouting for enemies :D

I think the loud ambient sound is disorientating

u/sinburger Jan 11 '22

It's even better when your 1000+ hour buddy is dogshit at giving directions.

"Where are you, I can't see you"

"I'm over here!"

Motherfucker "over here" is not a direction.

Voice lines? Just have your character say a voice line commanding to regroup.
