Definitely buy the armored rigs and insure it as you will usually get em back since no one ever wants em, stay away from labs, play like a rat, always use headphones if you can afford em, use GOOD AMMObecause gun's don't affect damage and understand that you will die A LOT when you start out. Just keep playing and eventually you will gain more money and get better and always remember this one rule. DO NOT EXTRACT CAMP UNLESS U HAVE TO ❤️ BUT NO SRSLY PLEASE DONT IF I FIND U EXTRACT CAMPING WEE ARE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS OKAY GLHF PLAYING TARKOV HOPE U LIKE THE GAME

Use your scav runs too get money and learn the maps, use it as soon as it's off cool down.

Don't worry too much about dying, just enjoy figuring things out. I would do it on my own and forget pestily, but that depends on if you also find that more rewarding. From what I have seen pestily relies alot on his twitch shooting and perfectly tuned motor skills combined with peekers advantages and network lags, and you simply won't have that unless playing this game is your job.

I'd start out moving slow and listening, try to set encounters up so you know where enemy's are, but they don't know you are there. Shoot heads or legs, try to avoid too many chest shots on players if you don't have high penetration ammo sins armor can soak up much dmg.

Don't use pistols, invest in sks, vepr 7.62 or mosin. The 5.56 and 5.45 need later game ammo to be effective so try too stay away from them early.

Quest are the best way to lvl. Do the collection quests with your scav and eliminations and location specific quest with your PMC. Try to avoid other players when questing, wait for initial pvp to thin the herd, move slow, stay focused on the quest and don't sidetrack for loot. Get it done and extract.

Spoken by someone who doesn't watch his educational videos. The raid series is very slow and he breaks down alot of what he does aswell as non-stop commentary. Each to their own though, people learn in different ways! But 80% of the comments on his youtube vids are new players thanking him for his advise and walkthroughs.

This is an amazing piece of advice though, don't run unless you literally have to. Move covertly and listen as much as you can.

Yes I haven't watched those vids, I'm glad if they are more normal player friendly. Think iv only seen parts and clips of him jumping and flying thru dorms and labs instantly headshot everyone :p.

i stand by that it can be more rewarding to figure stuff out on your own first and then turn to tutorials. But you then have to not take it too seriously I guess sins it will be some trial and error.
