"You're mags will have to be cleaned in the bin" And here I am cleaning 5 Makarov clips with a toothbrush before each adventure to perfect blue...do the auto clean if you don't wanna brush, but if you want to save money...
I was actually wrong about this - I didn't realise you could brush the mags. It didn't seem to work when I tried it but other people have said you can manually clean them
2 very important tips 1. Slot management. I like to put my detector on my right chest, flashlight on my left chest, a knife on my left arm, and probes on my right arm. I put all my Stimson in the front of my pouch and cigarettes and a lighter in the back. 2. Backpack management. Only bring what you need. On simple pervomay missions, you probably won't need your rifle, gas mask, tons of ammo and armor. Bringing less stuff means you can bring more back to sell or use. It also means it's easier to stay organ8zed, which you should. Bonus tip: Smoke all the time. Smoking restores hunger, and cigarettes are cheap and easy to come by. You also look cool
I just started playing this game and it’s been amazing thanks for the good tips you’ve helped me on my journey lots keep up the good work and great content 👌🍻cheers
Good one saying to buy the m9 I ran into the trap of buying the g17 early on and only got the m9 the next in game day I got level 4 and yes lots of your tips are really good and what i should have done when I was on level 2. Something to say its best to stay away form areas with enemies with Armor until level 3 because thats when +p rounds are unlocked which are way better then ap for pistols and smgs (if unlocking level 3 is not in an area with Armor). Another small thing is that if you can get slug rounds should be bought for shotguns since how much better it is then buckshot (if slugs are unlocked at level 2) but anyway everything in this video is really good.
@@IcarusAO you said it also just another thing if you didn’t know you can hold trigger on the ammo book than put to where you put the shells to load the shotgun
Here's another tip for the mission on Security level 2. Bring lots of injectors, I went to loot a building, the one with the crane. I went up the crane with like 0.0000001 hp with no injectors or anything I could use. I ended up sitting there, smoking cigarettes, reorganizing my backpack for so longgggggg.
Reading your comment responses makes me think of old gamefaq game walkthroughs: "Remember to get Charizard as the starter! Why? I dunno really, but he worked really good for me, didn't need to use the other ones!"
Lol yup all of my advice is from personal experience but I'm by no means the best - just someone who made mistakes and learnt what worked. There will definitely be others who know more than me.
When I hit lvl 2 i went to buy the MP5, honestly if you can manage with your current weapons don't buy lvl 2 guns. The mission to unlock lvl 3 a probing mission is really easy and can be done with just slugs. There's like two or three enemies in that area. Get in get out, then upgrade to lvl 3 and get a Kalash or Mosin. I sunk so much into my MP5 I ended up running with it (later paired w/ the mosin) until i got to lvl 4. I probably would have been better off with just an AK.
bro i tried taking pictures of enemies in different places and it wouldnt let me. I went to factory to do the security lvl 3 mission and the enemies there needed pictures but they kept saying bad shot. then i died.
My biggest issue with the game is the best you wear rotating it it becoming a nightmare to grab the pistol or map. Have to do a look left then right to get the pistol then opposite for the map
The Beretta is alright, but the Tokarev is worth investing in, as it's got fantastic accuracy and a solid punch to boot. Great gun if you can land your shots.
Sadly, you can no longer keep your flashlight on in your pouch at least on the Quest, And you do not unlock the shortcut to the village until you find it at the village and use it to return, The same goes for Kalkazaria
I'm sure that I've heard this background music somewhere! Please tell me where it is from?! I was betting far cry 5 but I can't find the song from youtube. :D And thanks for the super helpful videos!
@@IcarusAO 9x18 ammo won't be so precious later on, from midgame forward I switch to the OC when doing side missions in the first two areas and back to the Beretta with +P ammo in the factory, kolkhoz and castle maps.
On the topic of Photography did you know you can attach the rangefinder to the front of the camera and it acts like a sort of zoom lens when you hold it in front of it and it semi sort of detaches from the camera so it's not constantly going in and out of frame it just sticks to the rangefinder until you move it far enough away
Forget the M9 The OC-33 Is honestly way better in my opinion Full auto and semi Easily controllable recoil Good damage and accuracy The pistol is also accessible from Sec lvl 1 Also includes 27+1 round mag
Yeah it's probably not the best sidearm, but I used it loads and it never let me down. I actually kept this the whole playthrough. Full auto I never used once because of how precious I am with ammo
The G17 is slightly worse and has the worst accuracy of all pistols, but is cheaper and there is a spot on top of one of the fuel tanks in the motor depot on pervomay, so if you need a free upgrade from the makarov, that's there
Dude I’m level two but I’m stuck in paparazzi #2 I need help I’ve took the picture and I need a pic or a fragment or I just need one idk but I can’t find it
Sometimes you'll accidentally kill every enemy you're trying to photograph... I've done thar before. You can wait until the next tide and the enemies will respawn. It also doesn't matter what zone you're in - as long as its the right type of enemy it counts
@@IcarusAO I agree with the amount you have to reload but quite honestly a fully automatic feature is needed for your survival later on and aswell as that a magazine size of 27 is extremely beneficial for long excursions of which you will be doing by the stage you get a sniper
@@jinxmajinme if you have a bolt action rifle then I agree. I guess combination of the Groza assault rifle and the M9 covers all my bases. I don't have super long range but it fits my play style nicely. It's great that if you're clever about what you carry, you can really use whatever guns you want.
M9 carried me through the game until I got the Groza. OC33 I probably didn't give much of a chance. I was liked the m9 so didn't try the other sidearms
You have to visit the shortcut to bolotsky village from the village side before you can go through it from the facility
Oh wow. Lots I didn't know myself. Thank you.
How do you unlock the shortcut? i have a green flag on my map, is that it?
@@86themadhatter27 It is!

Magazine not Clip 🤓🤓🤓
@@inkarnation6512 same thing
@@BACONATOR01940 no its not
instead of buying m9 you can buy as many packs of cigarettes as possible and chain smoke your way to a nicotine addiction
That's using the old noodle!
I like to leave a magazine slot free on my waste, that way you can store your empty immediately and grab one beside.
I mention this in a later video, but definitely worth doing from the start. Helps in a panic!
That's what the dump pouch on your left hip is (supposedly) for.
Great video! But don't buy the M9, you can find it very easily for free if you duck into the Pobeda Factory area for a minute.
True. I didn't know this at the time.
yeah thats where i found it and didnt have to pay 1500 for it
I hang my gas mask out of my bag as well. I set it up to look like it is clipped on and hanging from the side. You know, immersion lol

welp, time to become a chain smoker
You can repair yellow or blue mags as well, just use oil and brush them.
What about knives? I always thought you had to throw them into the box
Nope you can't

Thank you it will help
You do NOT need to pay money to repair your mags you just use the spray and toothbrush
I tried it once and it didn't work for me... tried it after I made this and found it works. can't believe I got this wrong.
bro i tried taking pictures of enemies in different places and it wouldnt let me. I went to factory to do the security lvl 3 mission and the enemies there needed pictures but they kept saying bad shot. then i died.
You can oil and bruh mags to clean them
It took me ages to find that out. I still find it a pain so I just chuck it in the bin

I do! Same name as my youtube channel
I have played for 18 hours now, and have only ever found the toothbrush for repairing. Nothing else 😂
I'm sure that I've heard this background music somewhere! Please tell me where it is from?! I was betting far cry 5 but I can't find the song from youtube. :D And thanks for the super helpful videos!
It's on the youtube audio library. It's called 'fresh fallen snow' but you're right - the guitar sounds like farcry 5
Magazines can be “repaired” with oil and a brush.
This video was made 7months ago when he made it you couldnt bud
Wait so going to the radius using the alternate entry you get security 2?????
when you need to be security level 2 to get the M9-
It's the best sidearm in the game. There's the automatic one, bit ammo is precious so I don't ever use automatic firing.
@@IcarusAO 9x18 is so easy to find
I don't see your issue

Just curious why do you not use the head lamp very much?
Because I'm stupid... took me far too long to buy one and OH MY GOD it's so useful lol
The first time I ran into the seeker I screamed and woke up my roommate and dog
before i watched this i got like 5 boxes of ap rounds for my full ppsh so i guess armoured enemies wont be a big deal (i have m9 for most of the time)
Yes AP rounds are literally all you'll use once you get a bit of money. You save money in the long run because you use fewer rounds to kill enemies
What is the objective for the mission
On the topic of Photography did you know you can attach the rangefinder to the front of the camera and it acts like a sort of zoom lens when you hold it in front of it and it semi sort of detaches from the camera so it's not constantly going in and out of frame it just sticks to the rangefinder until you move it far enough away
Wow I had no idea you could do this. Thanks! I'll have to try it out
Forget the M9
The OC-33 Is honestly way better in my opinion
Full auto and semi
Easily controllable recoil
Good damage and accuracy
The pistol is also accessible from Sec lvl 1
Also includes 27+1 round mag
the m9 has more damage and is cheaper
but the 33 has all attachment rails so idk
Yeah it's probably not the best sidearm, but I used it loads and it never let me down. I actually kept this the whole playthrough. Full auto I never used once because of how precious I am with ammo
how do you turn on your arms because they are just flouting
In the settings you can turn the body on and off
idk if i missed something but what makes the g17 worse than the m9?
honestly it's probably not - but the M9 really carried me once I got it
From memory, the G17 has the lowest accuracy of the pistols.
The G17 is slightly worse and has the worst accuracy of all pistols, but is cheaper and there is a spot on top of one of the fuel tanks in the motor depot on pervomay, so if you need a free upgrade from the makarov, that's there

How’d you get arms?
Good question. There's an option in the settings which allows you to turn them on and off
I luckily Found a M9 and restored it manually, no mags for it Yet, i'm omw to bolotky
How do you level up the security level 2?
You need to complete the missions at the computer by your bed. One of the missions will say "security level +1". These are the ones you wanna do
@@IcarusAO thank you this game is so confusing for new people
How do you get arms to show up
Go into the game settings and turn it on.
@@IcarusAO I don’t see it. May not be a quest feature? I don’t know what you’re playing on
@@cameronbuss413 ah I'm on PC, but not sure of any reason it wouldn't be on quest. Might Google this
I have done the bolotky mission which said +1 security level but it still says I'm lvl 1
Did you hand it into the locker? It's in the same room as the shop
Have you completed shooting range training? Which one is on the left when returning from the radius?
@@daedrons u were meant to do that to get lvl 1 lmfao
You can repair mags with wd40
I know. I tried 3 times and it wouldn't work so I gave up and assumed you couldn't do it. Turns out I was just being an idiot
I can’t see my arms or legs just my hands
The Quest 2 version only has hands. Graphical limitations I suppose. The PC version has a full body option
Why buy the m9?
cuz it one of the best pistols
POV me with 54 boxes when my cuz bot them
You're wrong you have to walk you have to go the long way and then you can take the the short way.
You're right. I was still new to the game when I made this so that's my bad - thanks for watch the video though!
It's okay
Only buy the m9 if you aren’t using sniper as the oc 33 is irreplaceable as a sniper
And yes when I say snipers I also mean long ranged ARs such as sks
True. In terms of DPS the automatic feature is amazing. I just find it a pain with how often you need to reload automatic weapons
@@IcarusAO I agree with the amount you have to reload but quite honestly a fully automatic feature is needed for your survival later on and aswell as that a magazine size of 27 is extremely beneficial for long excursions of which you will be doing by the stage you get a sniper
