There's only one

guaranteed

way to get

better

at escaping Tarkov and there's really only one

guaranteed

way to get

better

at any

thing

in life and that's to learn from our past experiences, especially our mistakes, so in

this

video I'm going to show you how. I've learned from my mistakes escaping Tarkov and how I've made some incredible progress with my community over the past year. My name is Jessica Zam and with all that out of the way, let's go ahead and dive right into In the Pursuit I used the playback buffer in OBS to essentially allow me to record up to two minutes of any

thing

that happened in a raid, back in the day, so when I press a button and I press a hotkey, it saves everything that happened during the previous two minutes and saves it to my computer and I can look at it later and that allows me to look back and find myself where I died and find myself where I thought maybe something suspicious had happened or even an encounter that went very, very well and I want to look back and break up.

I

will

write down my decision making and how I did it. Below I'll have links on how to set it up with your AMD card with your own video card using OBS, so if that's what you're here for, that's what it is, but Personally, I think the most important conversation here is to talk about why it is It's so important to use something that gives you the chance to watch a match and learn from it, so I've been thinking a lot about how I got to where I got. Now I'm not even close to being the best.

Came from Dark Out Lair. I have light years to go as a gamer, but I've come a long way for someone whose console experience is relatively new to the PC scene in recent years. last few years and coming from someone that my first few months of escaping from Tarkov were seven eight eleven percent survival rates, so it really felt like over the last few weeks and months I had really entered another caliber of player and I've been processing what that's what it is and I've used

this

replay buffer tool as long as I could, almost the entire time I've been playing Tarkov, to find a way to get better at the game, before getting into the technical stuff.

Besides that, I want to talk about why it's so important. When you think about how video games work, we are at the mercy of so many things to be able to do this, especially a PvP oriented game, and this is in any game we find ourselves in. at the mercy of our computer hardware, we are at the mercy of the servers that the games are on, we are at the mercy of the network code that the game developers use and its stability, we are at the mercy of our own Internet. connection and its stability and even in some cases our opponents' internet connection, there's a lot of technology that goes into creating these experiences and these games that we love and then on top of that we look at a game like tarkoff specifically where anything can happen Right, Tarkov?

It really sets itself apart with these really big maps with these really complicated and amazing ballistic models and all the different variety of weapons and weapon calibers. You know, someone could just be sitting in a bush camping in a spawn, someone could be a few hundred meters away. away from you and get a really lucky sniper, a rebound could happen, they could have the best ammo in the game, they could have the worst hammer in the game, there is a special game like Tarkoff, there are an incredible amount of possibilities that can't happen and then , on top of all that, in Escape from Tarkov the risk has never been higher, so in any game, you know, in the G pub, almost anything had happened, someone can

make

a lucky shot, someone can be camping in Call of Duty, almost anything can happen. but in Escape from Tarkov not only are the possibilities of what can happen expanded due to the large maps and ballistics, but there is also an additional risk of losing something right and the fear of losing everything I have drives me to zero. and then I'm not going to have money or weapons and these games are not going to be fun, so when you add all that, the technology, the fact that anything can happen, the fact that in Tarkov even more things can happen and risk involved, it

make

s dying a really frustrating experience and I've personally found that I'll use almost anything as a scapegoat, right?

I'll blame the netcode or I'll blame the lag and stuttering or I'll even blame the cheaters and sometimes those things happen, of course sometimes you'll die and lose gear because a big stutter happened right when you got into a firefight. You know, sometimes a cheater

will

escape

the anti-cheat system and speed the hack towards you and you'll get killed, but what I found is that for me personally, of all the times I called the cheater, of all the times I called, everything well was that this or you know I died after killing him so it must have been the netcode or it must have been something most of the time like eight out of ten times I call those things it wasn't those things and it was It was only because I could see it again that I took responsibility, I can't say.

How many times have I embarrassed myself on my stream because I yelled that this or that happened? We watched the clip again and they put me in my place, maybe I just missed, maybe my shot ricocheted off his helmet or something else. could have happened, so I found that a lot of times when I call those things they're not, they haven't happened and then even when those things are true, even when I died because in the netcode even when I died because there was a Trickster, almost There is always something I can get out of that commitment.

Okay, that guy was speed hacking, but if this compromise had gone ahead without a hacker, I wouldn't have even realized there was good hard cover right there or hadn't even considered it. that I could have flanked that way and maybe I wouldn't have changed that commitment because there are circumstances beyond my control, but maybe I will change the next commitment I have in that area because I firmly believe that Believe it or not, your attitude sets the pace of your progression, um, I know it sounds crazy, but if you have the desire to learn from your mistakes, if you have the desire to get better at this game by analyzing exactly what happened and what you could have done wrong.

I think that puts you on a path to improve faster. Using these tools is invaluable. Being able to rewatch an encounter like we said countless times that I had died or I thought there was no way or even just when. I die, another great example is when you die and you're not what happened right in Escape from Tarkov. This can happen all the time. Where was that guy you know? Being able to see it again and then you look at it again a few times and you can say oh well now I can hear he came from the left, maybe it was someone shooting or I killed that guy, how did he kill me? and when you look at it again, oh, there was another guy that I didn't know, it was a duo.

There are countless situations and being able to look back on that and really see what happened and think about what you could have done or maybe like I would have shot that guy, but I didn't even realize there was hard cover there if I had moved. Right there, behind that rock, I could have waited for him to come back and shot him much more clearly. There are endless possibilities and there is a lot to learn from watching these clips. Escape from Tarkov is a very high knowledge game. There is much to learn. I learn and do not use.

I used knowledge as a crutch a lot in my first few months of escaping Tarkov because that's how I personally like to learn. I like to absorb and soak up knowledge, so I read the wiki and articles. I watched all the guides and I watched all the YouTube videos and I knew I looked at the maps and I had all this knowledge about what to do and how ammo works and I know I want this armor and I know I want this thing, but translating that into a real game it's really very difficult again, especially my experience was in console games, not much on PC and not much game sense and just being able to feel how an encounter will play out and thus translate it.

That knowledge in a gunfight can be frustrating and especially because I have all this knowledge and a lot of times as soon as I die I can say, "Oh my God, I know I should, I knew I shouldn't have done that and maybe I didn't." I don't know what I should have done, but I knew I shouldn't have done it right, since I knew I had bad ammo, why did I take that fight? or I felt like that was the wrong thing to do, but I did it because I didn't know what else to do, being able to see this gives you a lens to correctly use the knowledge that you've acquired because it's a split second decision, you have all this knowledge of the game and in one second you have to say I see a guy, I need to do this and that's a big disconnect because learning the knowledge is good, being able to translate that into these absolute decisions in a split second is difficult, but when you can see something again, you are free to use it. that knowledge that you've gained to look at that same clip of yourself through a new lens and say, "Okay, now I can see that I should have done this" or now I can see that I should have done that and that's going to help dramatically. and it's not going to happen overnight, by watching some really experienced streamers you can see how they play with other streamers or youtubers or whatever, that's how you learn to make sense of the game, so you take a guy like shroud who arrives to

escape

from

tarkov

. who has an incredible sense of the game, right, he knows how to fight, he knows how to shoot, he knows how to click heads, but he didn't have much knowledge of the game, well, you can learn knowledge very quickly and that's how you see him do it. very, very good, very, very fast, you know, I see a lot of lazy mortals and you can see their gears turning and they've been doing this for so long, they've been playing this game for so long that you can see them not just thinking about where they want to go. . but where your enemy will want to go or if someone showed up there, I think the most likely path they'll take is here or we think we started an engagement and didn't finish it, so he'll probably want to.

This means that if he's doing that, I'm going to want to do this and you see a lot of decisions made in a split second and you have to encourage yourself and know that it's not going to happen overnight, so this doesn't happen. It will happen. It can happen in an instant, but being able to look back at yourself, being able to break something down, being able to put yourself down and say, I thought that was a cheater and it wasn't, I thought that was this and it wasn't that, that's going to be that. . how do you teach yourself that you start asking those questions and it doesn't have to be a big task to go through all these cliffs one by one and take notes on what you could have done, I just don't know what happened there let me cut it out let me see it again new oh wow I should have done this or oh wow there was nothing I could have done I made the right decision I just lost that fight you close it you delete it and you leave this is It will get you on that course much faster because by playing you will always improve at whatever rate you improve, but by doing this you will accelerate. for me and I know it will happen and the tools are there for you to do it right.

OBS is free. Stream Labs. OBS is free and Shadowplay video. The AMD version is completely free. It is available to you. Basically they have no limitations like. I haven't really noticed any FPS drop when enabling this and to be honest I would trade 10 FPS and

tarkov

for the ability to do this it's very important to me so like I said below I'm going to have links from youtubers that I think they do a really good job of explaining how to configure these things, whatever you want to do, if you want to check your graphics card manufacturer, if you want to use OBS, no.

You don't have to be streaming to do this, you don't have to be recording your entire raids or your entire night raids, they're just these little bits that you can delete immediately so you don't even take up a ton of hard drive. space, there really are no disadvantages, there is no cost involved and it will help you get better at this game, so that's it, that's the tip I have that is guaranteed to help you get better at escape from Tarkov and probably as quickly as possible . Thank you so much. for taking the time to like check this out if you have any questions about this or how I do it please contact me below this video we are launching a new series which I have called beyond the grave where I actually am.

I'll take a look at some clips from my streams and discuss what I could have done better. We will look at what my decision making was and why I chose to make the decisions. I did what I could. I've done better and we'll use them to show you how I analyze it, how I improve and hopefully that will help you improve and help you see some of those circumstances and give you an example of how to do that for yourself. I escape from Tarkov to the extreme about four days a week. All my links will be below.

I'm always trying to create content that helps shorten the learning curve of escaping Tarkov so you can participate in your raids. Have fun and survive, that's my goal. Thanks again for stopping by and I will definitely see you all in the next one.
