Escape from Tarkov

• The absolute first thing you should be looking for are good medical supplies to stockpile.

• Focus on completing quests first, since they give a lot of unlocks and resources.

• Early raids, especially in early wipe, you need to focus on surviving. Avoid firefights, (usually) avoid high value loot locations, extract early if you feel overextended. You'll snowball eventually, but not if your start is shaky.

• Get some containers as soon as possible. They give lots of extra space for your stash.

• Prioritize your hideout workbench so you can customize items fully.

• I think an SKS is the best early gun to work on building up. Get a kobra mount and some micro sights, a silencer and larger mag.
