Escape from Tarkov

Its all about the response time and refresh rate really, but yeah 24" is the preferred size for pro's. The ultra wide monitors mostly cap at 60hz which i think is the main reason fps gamers dont like them, that and also more to look at to spot enemies etc, as far as response time i think they are ok.

You can get a 24" with a high refresh rate for a decent price these days, i got a 27" awhile back with 165hz and its great. But if it broke id prob drop back down to 24" as i only read about that after the purchase.

But its only something to worry about if you're looking to take your gaming serious.

I love my ultrawide and I was always ultrawide > 144hz. I could never understand people who swear by 144hz and how they can't go back to 60. I got new gaming laptop with 144hz ips panel and tried it out. All I can say it's nice, but meh, went down to 60 fps cap in games where I can to make it less noisy. For desktop I would still go ultrawide again if I will need to upgrade.
I like Tarkov in 3440x1440, but my PC is just to old to push it at that resolution. So I set it to to 1440p normal with black bars. If I could run it ultrawide, I would.
Once you go that size monitor and resolution it's hard to go normal. Usually on laptop I do hatchling runs as I can see ****. When I do normal runs I do it on my desktop. Maybe will finally upgrade my PC as old 2500k with 1060 is showing its age.

Edit: I am not big fps player and I did played back in CRT days. I am old... I do notice difference, just don't see it as vital.
I am more of Factorio, Satisfactory, Rimworld, Stellaris etc player, So ultrawide always wins over refresh rates for me.

I know my dood, the differences are minimal if ya ask me, go with what you prefer at the end of the day. I was speaking strictly from a "pro's" preference stand point.

I'm just a competitive lil bitch so i try and take from both worlds :pac:

Hehe, true. In the end, it's our own preferences and needs. There is no right answer, there are only right answers!

Anyway, I am finally off after 3 days of hell, so will finally able to play properly while misses at work.

just morning was rough, I had to survive a raid in every map, its a quest called: The Guide, made my way through every single one of them no run through was making my way to extraction on woods and got downed by a pmc. Swear its the worst.

Come back to me when you loot a weapons case, fill it up with modded weapons and then get killed just before the exit :P

:pac: been there done that got the t-shirt but the guide is notoriously a tough task :pac:

haha yeah they can be, some tasks are just tedious, i gave up doing them when i got to 40, id have no problem doing them all, but the reset is whats preventing me as ill just have to do them all again.. Maybe next reset ill focus on just flying through them..

Does anybody know if the reset effects the killa quest? Id go for that if i got to keep the tracksuit reward from it permanently..

reset wont be for a long time, its worth doing the quests money for them is pretty sweet.

I'm on my 6th whipe of tarkov, and post whipe is the best time to play. but keep at the quests they are worth it. I've got 5 left.

Tips invest in good ammo. prepare to die a lot :pac::D

From fellow noob to fellow noob. I am on very low food chain compared to guys here, but I manage to have fun in game and now even kill people too!

1. As above, get map and for now focus on Customs. Have it on second screen while you playing if you can. If not, have a tablet or phone near by.
2. Play a lot of offline first to learn how to get to exits. Just try to get to the level, where you can spawn and know where you are and where you need to go. It's your main first objective. No point getting in to fire fights and loot crap if you don't even know how to get your sugar buns out safely.
3. Don't bother with pistols you get at start. Pure crap. For starters try to get Prapors quests done to unlock ak-74u. It's a trash gun, but cheap and if you spray it even with crap ammo you can still put down people. I personally love using it and then have only bag, 1 clip and cheap vest on. No armour or meds. 99% of the time I manage to steal enough stuff in my secure container to cover the whole load out, pay for meds and make extra, if I extract - jackpot! Another good option is to horde Rec. Batteries and trade them for ADAR from Skyer. Slap 20 round Stanag mag and you good to go. Sks is very good budget option I found. Cheap and cheerful. Until level 10 you are at the mercy of traders. So learn how to use those guns.
4. Always, and I mean always insure your crap! Never go in to raid without insurance. Stuff like ADARs, ak-74u, sks are so cheap, that most people don't bother looting them. You will get about 90% of them back!
5. If you are not using it - sell it. No point cluttering your inventory with expensive gear you are too afraid to use. It's just sitting there. Better sell it and buy a few ak-74us etc. that you will actually use.
6. Get a chart for item values on flee market. I know it's useless for you now, but some items sell to traders for peanuts, but on flee market they can go for waaay more. You can horde those for now. Learn which items are high value. Sometimes you can be lucky and grab 1x1 small item that will pay for your next few loadouts.
7. Pay attention to spawns. Most maps have them marked. Eventually when you learn map and spawns, you will be able to predict player movement so you can avoid them or set ambush.
8. That won't be a popular opinion, but I personally think Hatchling runs are fantastic to learn maps and maps flow. You risk pretty much nothing and can be a lot more aggressive. It helps in the long and is great way to make a few rubbles. Don't use gun, just out cheapest smallest bagpack and you go!
9. Learn secret stashes on customs. There are videos on YouTube which will pin point them for you. They are my bread and butter. I had times where I got 500k of stuff just in my secure container ( just to be clear I have EOD version of game with bigger one ) and I did not really even cared if I died or not.
10. You will die... A lot... Even more then a lot. It's part of the game and can get very discouraging, but just stick to it. As the more you learn the game, the better you will get at dealing with threats.

Hope this helps a bit. As I said, take it for what it's worth to you. I am noob myself, but hey, it works for me!
