I'm only a few hours in, but I already have picked up on so many things that could help new players. Comment if you feel that you can add helpful info - Ігри
When I want to play into the radius, I need to be in my inner "wilderness survival Russian cold dark" mood, but when it hits oooooooh it hits
It's so addictive. Starting weak and slowly gaining strength is the remedy for excellent pacing in a game
Haha, just like the Metro series for me!
That's half my moods so this is a perfect game for me

A couple more tips:
- Always clean your weapon when you return from a mission, especially if it is still in the blue, for paper tissue is cheaper than oil and quicker to clean.
- There are weapons that are louder than other, but if you are close to a place where there are many enemies, if you shoot you will attract all of them to your position. I keep 2 knives in my sleeves and throw them at the enemies when they get close. In the tutorial they show you how to throw them, just wait until they are about 1 meter away and do it. do not worry if you miss, circle around the enemy and pick it up, in early the "zombies" are not a threat and you won't waste ammo.
- The spiders are annoying, but one strategy is to sprint to the side. When they miss the jump, you can either shoot them or get close with a knife. The machete is good for that kind of thing.
- Generally speaking, a weapon that is more security level than yours, will be better. But it will not be a game changer. If you only care about dmg just wait to get one of at least 3-4 to upgrade it, but if you really like one very much (myself with the mosin) don't worry and upgrade it. Knowing your gun is better that a better one (except the makarov, that is trash). Also, upgrades for a laser are worth it, so you can get those if you struggle with shooting.
- Don't bother with the chest lamp, green or red it is kinda bad imo. You can place multiple flashlights in your left pounce, so you will have white light and you can align them whatever you want.
- Probes, use them. Especially with the white anomalies. be carefull when they shoot at you right after you throw a probe. For the zippy zippy electricity, throw a probe and they go ZAP, you have like 2 seconds to get past it. Spam the probes if you need to pass a zone like that, but avoid it if you can.
- Sort your backpack. I always leave the bottom of my backpack for ammo, food and tools and I stack the top with loot. Do not try to organize the loot, just clip it on top of each other at the top so it doesn't bother you if you need to grab ammo in the middle of a fight. You will sort everything when you get home. Also whatever you need at hand, do not place it deep within the backpack, let it sticking out for convinience.
- Whenever you win an encounter, take the time to reload all your mags. Enemies in that area will stay dead for as long as the tide clock says, so you won't have to worry about them.
- Do not pick up junk. At the beginning you will want to loot everything, but after 10 hours you realize that you only need 1 lighter, so picking all of them while their selling price is 4$ is not wise for weight or time. See what sells well or you want, pick it up, and leave the rest.
thank you so much
Yeah just a couple😂
Thank you sm. I really needed these
One big advice is that when u get further in to the game and it becomes much much more dangerous, spot out the place your going to attack. Buy the binoculars and just try to see what type of guys are in the, not very fun to be surprised by a commando!!
Great vid btw
Ah that's cool. Some of the armoured dudes in the factory have absolutely wrecked me. Took like 2 mags to kill them (tbf makarov fmj is very weak)
Now I've got the m9 and a bix of AP AP rounds life is easier
This game has binoculars?! That's even more dope than I thought! The devs have all my respect!
When you are in your personal room, you can store opened food cans, you only need to eat as much as the bar so it helps to not have to go through the whole can at once.
True. But I've modded my game now so it has the OMNOMNOM sound when you eat... I eat a lot more now 🤣
@@IcarusAO absolutely valid lol
Here’s a good tip I found out too, if you’re going to sleep to go adventuring the next day, wake up at 6 instead of 7.
It’s dark but light enough to see, and it takes about an in game hr to go from the bottom to the top of the first map. If you’re on your way to the factory by the time you get there it’ll be just before 7 giving you more time to loot.
Honestly for me the overweight problem is good, unlike any other game i play, i hate being overencumbered *cough* bethesda *cough* but in the radius i become able to not waste stamina, and give myself more time to look around and be aware. This game is essential for you to be tactical and that makes it easier for me not to press the sprint button like a spazz
100% - I did use a mod to increase carry weight just for the sake of getting more footage, but I admit it made life so much easier that I was tempted to keep the mod installed for my second playthrough. Glad I didn't though, because it's an essential part of the game
I tried the first mission after buying the game. I had no idea you had to knife the orbs the enemies turn into after you defeat them to permanently kill them. They kept returning and killing me.
You could just shoot the orbs. But the knife in them saves ammo
The stabbing mechanic does not work for me so I've just been throwing it at them
@@MassiveMiniGaming Gotta put a little force behind the stab or swing
I used all of my bullets killing them
That left hip light thing was the best tip I have gotten
Just started playing the other day, but the most helpful thing I've found that I don't think the game tells you is you can drop the slide on handguns if it locks back, buy pressing your safety button.👍
bro really thanks i kept shooting one bullet to make it go like it lol
@@blinkq_530 Bro speak English
i have no idea what i was trying to say lol ngl
@@Just_a_Piano_ i have translated it one month later. In english, he said. "Thank you so much, I thought you had to fire a round in the chamber to make the slide lock back. Lol"
I went into this game mostly blind and its so incredibly terrifying, especially at night. Reminds me of playing Fallout 3 for the first time back in the day.
My first experience in the dark had me genuinely terrified. Now I've completed it a few times, I don't mind it. I know what to expect
Tip: If you find a square torch attach it to your chest. It will shine whichever way you're facing. Pressing B makes the light red or green.
Great tip! Used this a lot before I got the headlamp
another tip, they do become worse over time, like guns do, and while it doesnt affect the light too much, its still nice to keep your light clean.
Big support for the channel and keep on making awesome content and guides and giveaways in the future as well. Worked for me
My first mission, I stayed out too long and ran inside a building thinking I can wait it out until the morning. Boy, that was a mistake! Creepy voices and footsteps and everything else around me. This game is awesome!
Haha yup. My very first playthrough I dropped my torch and it got dark. I was COMPLETELY lost. Couldn't find my way back (didn't know I had a map 🤣) and it was hell. Stuck it out and bought myself a headlamp
I did that for the first time recently. I still think it was the right choice, but I got a hallucination of someone saying something like 'found you' followed by a gun being loaded. Biggest vibe check I've ever had, blasted the wall and panicked for a minute.
@@GruntyGame nightmare inducing shit
@@GruntyGame when i first started the game, i decided to do the first mission at night, because i thought it would be fun. i ended up throwing a bunch of probes at the guys on the other end of the valley, where you get the bracelet, except i had completely forgot my flashlight and didnt know where they went afterwards. i just started running after that and eventually got quickscoped by a cop at the train station. the second time around i looked down and realized the map had a marker at the mission objective.
That happened to me as well; warehouse by the trains. It got dark so fast that I hunkered down in the back corner. The only hint of light was through a high window. All 'night long' I heard the footsteps in the gravel outside and the mimics saying things like "come out come out wherever you are". It was awful. Now I watch the time and save my stamina to run to a safe sleep place if needed.
Use the green/red lamp on your chest slot. Free light wherever you look
Keep up the the videos like this they are really good for begginners (like me) and you explained it pretty simply so that I understood everything you explained. 👍

Duplicates of guns?
But how could I possibly make it by without my backup-backup-gun?
Simple. Use your backup-backup-backup shotgun
I'm still pretty early on but I always keep two loaded makarovs and a knife at home in case I have to run out and grab my stuff, but that probably isn't enough firepower for the later game.
@@pseudo3100 once you reach Security Level 2 you unlock the m9, which has 15 rounds instead of 8, and is much more powerful and reliable. An awesome upgrade. But a backup gun is never a bad thing.
@@IcarusAO You can buy the Glock at Level 1, and it has 17 round mags of the same 9mm as the Beretta. I like it better as well because it has no safety, so never gonna get you killed because you forgot your safety!
"you will be more selective in what you pick up later on in your adventures" i am not. I am greedy and even if I can sell something for 1¢ I'll simply take it. I'm over engumbered? I simply take the heaviest item that makes me go down by a few kilos (from yellow weight to green or from red to yellow) and keep throwing it ahead of me and pickup it up again so i move faster
I never thought to do that 🤣
@@IcarusAO skyrim taught me a lot ;)
This has been such an amazing beta so far. Can’t wait for the final product
thank you so much dude. this game looks and feels beautiful, but i was a little overwhelmed. this really helped
You're welcome, SussyBalls99 🤣🤣
Pro tip: on the first mission there's a glock on top of one of the big drums. Clean it up and sell your beginning gun to buy a couple mags and ammo because the glock is a big upgrade.
On my new streaming playthrough this is the gun I went with instead of buying an m9. Seems to be doing just fine. Great upgrade to the makarov for sure
@@IcarusAO struggles in accuracy, but makes up for it in capacity.
Magazines in yellow and blue condition can be cleaned with oil and brush, suppressors cannot and must be repaired in the doodad always
Oh wow I tried that and it didn't seem to do anything. I'll have to update that in my next video.
Still, going through all the mags is a pain and they are still cheap - I probably will still just pay for them to be repaired to save time
Tip: Read the notes laying around, they have tips on how to do stuff, game mechanics and loot locations. It helped me alot.
Great video :)
Thank you! Glad I could help.
I wish the loot locations would be added to a ledger - I don't want to carry around 15 different notes in my bag with all the locations.
My greatest tip: a lot of missions tell you to go prepared with this and that item, or when you see security level 1-3 missions it could be assumed to be a tad difficult based on the pay.
But there is a significant difficulty increase for the security level 4 mission… go armed to the teeth, loaded mags, spare ammo. And 3-5 grenades might not be a bad idea. There are a lot of rooms full of armored enemies hence the nades. Any ap ammo you can muster will help when your in the building where you plant the explo . 3 healing pens at least and definitely use the safe house outside.
I guess I went in a tad ill-equipped with a Glock + 4 mags and a sawed off with slugs. If I had a pistol with smaller mags I probably would have died. Mag dumping the Glock saved me twice, and I used a ton of shotgun ammo to get all of this done, also I used 4 grenades.
All came to fruition with loot though, akm, pp2000, dropped the sawed off for the next best shotgun (ith?? I think) I found amongst the loot. And about 3k in sold loot. I was so full on the walk back that I had to throw the pp2000 and sprint to it…repeat so I wasn’t over encumbered coming back. Oh I guess last thing for this Bible ass comment. The walk back from security level 4 quest ties up one of your hands carrying a case back.
Pppps. It seems to me that anything you leave in your waist pouch revives with you when you die ( on the difficulty I’m playing at least.) so putting damn near everything in the waist pouch when your out in the wild means I can die and respawn with quest item loot, respawn and complete quests and use any money earned to rearm and go back out.
I found this game on sale and took a little chance and am not disappointed at all. It’s pretty cheap right now I believe
I sold toilet paper, not knowing it was for cleaning. I thought it was a throwable to distract things.
Thank you! Very helpful and efficient.
You're welcome. Glad I could help. And thanks for watching!
2:49 Dude you said it bro, I was looking for some type of shard and these like black fragment soldier things keep hunting me down, too the point i ran out of ammo for both my gun, the moment I opened a cabinet and found 2 shotgun shells I was ecstatic. Finding even little thing fill me with so much joy in life or death situations.
Really good video quality for 300 subs. keep it up!
Thanks dude - I'll keep on with the journey and see where it can go!
Picked up a random loose bullet and no idea which box to put it in? No worries! If you have a variety of ammo boxes in you pockets or backpack. Just wave the bullet around and it'll find it's own way into the correct box. Saving you time!
Really great, thanks! Hope you do some mod reviews soon.
Just picked this up today for meta quest 2…only played 15 minutes or so but I’m liking it so far…I hope it keeps me interested as I play more
Once you turn in a few missions and start upgrading it gets very addictive! Hope you're still enjoying it
Just started playing the quest 2 beta. Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome! Glad I could help
good advice definitely will use this if I ever manage to play it
Did you play it?
I’ve seen some videos for this game that have the player in the video with items out in the green chair area where the cake is found. Outfront of the “shop” is. Do things stay here when left or only in your house?
me: leaves home base
also me: *dies*
It's a rite of passage 🤣
I will say the thing into the radius got done best out of many things in the atmosphere. It's like tightening your stomach when you first start. It's, it's scary but a lot of fun
I didnt know you could sell! Got a pile of makarovs collecting dust! Thanks!
Glad I could help! Working on a follow up video for once you reach Security Level 2. Should be out in the next couple of days
How did you get the “log” button on your computer
You can store torch on left chest/shoulder
This game has me kinda spooked especially the jumpy things but yeah i'll check it out and maybe make a let's play series out of it
It's a great game for atmosphere. Torches are your friend and a headlamp will definitely help too
Nice
How do I make the game look that bright I’m on quest 2 and I can figure it out
How do you open crates that are on the ground?
6:43 there are missions with time limits but story quests are never time locked, and the quests that are time locked are “complete this before the next tide happens, so you got plenty of time.
holy shit i just got this game and it is soooooooo fun
How pick up from the distance?
that will be usefull thanks
thank you I thought my canned food was bugged 😅
Lol same at first. Took me a while.
Get familiar with your guns at the shooting range in the base, build muscle memory
If you want to I guess. I didn't bother with that. I think most guns in VR games transfer over between different games.
@@IcarusAO this is my first actual gun VR game I'm quite the beginner haha
@@spazzered it's quite an intense game for your first shooter, but at least it's slow pace. How are you liking it so far?
@@IcarusAO Well i think its pretty nerve wracking but i enjoy scavenging, not bad for my second VR game ever
I've just bought this game yesterday on my quest. I was struggling for months deciding whether I should buy it on the quest (works guaranteed but weaker graphics) or steamvr (better graphics but risk of lags) and it was worth it, the gamepla is so overwhelmingly cool and I've just finished the first mission and cleaning tutorial , it was already epic, especially the gun management. This game reminds me of Unturned where I played a lot on the Russia map
I bought it on Steam, and it only lags when going from inside buildings to outside, I guess because it's loading it all back into view. Otherwise, it doesn't lag at all. I do have a really good PC though.
You taught me how to sell thats all I needed.
Glad I could help! It can be a real pain when you don't know something basic that it hasn't told you (or you missed because you skipped tutorial like I always do)
one tip u missed: the walking guys are easier to kill and preserve the most ammo if u just throw ur knife at them, pick it up while its floating and hit the sphere thing
I would advise this, but my throwing aim is pure garbage and I lost so many knives because they flew off into the distance never to be seen again 🤣
@@IcarusAO haha relatable
Dude just bought ITR and WOAH these helped
Glad I could help!
I just bought it about an hr ago. I am playing on the hardest mode 🤣 how do I open cans of food. Even the ones with rings.
I'm still new but something i started to do was stick the flashlight on my hip facing in front of me so that I didn't have to hold it i feel like its common sense but I thought id share (nvm i was halfway through the video when i made the comment turns out he mentions this
i remember my first mission i died because one of those jumpy things made me lose all my ammo and mags
Thought I was gonna see some Icarus in VR!
Is there any benefit to staying out after dark? Better loot, special encounters maybe?
Unfortunately not. The only upside is getting more done if you have a limited time before the tide comes in. Sometimes you need to push on just to make sure you can complete the missions before tides
Tip I discovered: If you are too afraid to keep going...just listen to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Bandit Radio Song on loop to give you the strength to further venture into the zone
and smoke a lot with a shotgun in your hands :)
The jumpers or as I call them "trophy kills" are loud and I always see them coming. Because I've burned that distortion noise is always a trophy kill
They're annoying as hell when you hear them but can't see where they are
This game looks really cool but when it come to vr horror I’m a little baby what should i do
It's not technically a horror game. But can get creepy. Avoid the night time. Keep an eye on your watch. Use quiet time to load your magazines. And trial and error - I died a lot. Every death I learnt something. It's SUCH a rewarding game
a head lamp helps alot. and a glock is super super helpful
The slot on ur left hip is called a dump pouch. It's meant for empty magazines
Ah man I use it for literally everything whilst actively looting lol. I only sort it out once I've cleared out an area
Jumpy Spider like things TIP: stand next to a tree if you are near one, so you can see the tree and the 'jumper' just beyond it. As it leaps side step quickly behind the tree. The jumper tends to hit the opposite side of the tree rather than you, and it gets stuck!
From here you can reach around the tree with your knife a stab the f@#k out of it! I discovered this purely by accident, but have used it to my advantage many times. Of course you do need to have a nearby tree. This move may work with other objects like a wall? A quick side step behind a wall and the jumper sticks to the other side of it? Experimeent 🙂
Can you get into the radius on quest 2 through airlink???
I played it on Quest 2 but using a PC, and I used Virtual Desktop. I know it can also work with Airlink.
It's also coming natively to Quest 2 soon. Won't be long now
if you can buy +p ammo for a gun, buy it as it is always worth it
I haven't used that myself yet, but I watched another UA-camr (much better than myself) describe the stats of different ammo types. I'll use my current stash then switch to +p if I feel I start to struggle
@@IcarusAO +p is useless against normal enemies. However if you start encountering armored variants and a certain... Thing I won't spoil, you definitely want +p ammo, AP rounds, slugs, and any typa ammo that does armor damage.
The Artifact Detector confuses the hell out of me. I was walking in circles for 30 minutes looking at it, and it got me nowhere.
It doesn't do anything unless you're right by an artefact. If the light turns green, it's facing the right way. The faster it clicks, the closer you are
I kinda disagree with shooting fragments and spawns, I think that's a waste of ammo. Whenever I encounter these I just use my knife, for fragments I jest throw it
How to throw grenades?
You don't need to eat canned food unless you're recovering from sleeping until morning. Just smoke a lot. There's no lung cancer or any drawbacks to smoking in-game. It'll kill you if you do it IRL but not in-game. Smoking gets rid of a lot of hunger and fast.
Does anybody know what the annoying beeping is
The tide coming in. Once it hits, you can stop the beeping by pressing the red button above your map. Took me ages to figure that out!
@@IcarusAOmagic, thought it was a glitch when it didn’t turn off
It comes out on quest 2 on the 8th
It's such a good port! Can't believe what a great job they did
I went to the safe house and i sont know why now im very tall
Not going to remember all this shit before I enter the Radius
Lol - just remember the first tip before you start. The rest are for when you've already kind of started
i just wanted to know how to put the damn laser on my pistol in the practice range dont care about any of this stuff yet
You need to be security level 2 first
@@IcarusAO thank you !!
HOW TALL ARE YOU HOLY CRAP my head barely reaches the top of the monitor
Lol I'm 6'4" I always get people tell me I'm tall when I play Onward
You are over a foot taller than me, im 5'5"
I can remember clearly sitting down hiding behind a wall while hearing a mimic speaking thinking to my self "I'm gonna put the gun on safety don't pull the trigger and I'm going to run like hell (I forgot to save And thought the stuff I had was valuable(they were not) ) (I am about to shoot my self because It was night and I didn't know anything about the game and did not have any ammo or weapons other that a knife and pistol)
Now I am not really scared of the Radius but the first time It was creepy as hell but an hour later I found out that they are not terror thing creatures and from then on I kind of realised this game isn't as scary as I thought although still pretty scary
Damn Alot of brackets
Don't know why I said this but I thought it was kinda funny so
any left handed people here? I've seen some reviews saying left handed mode doesnt work properly.
I’m the first one to like
im 2nd
Im the 420th even if there isnt 420 likes
This game scares the shit out of me... ;) the worst part about it is all the hidden dangerous stuff. Got killed by lightning. Bah.
or stab the jumpy things :)
Right off the bat, the first tip sucks ass.
I ran about the game for 10 hours, not knowing how to fucking clean my weapon with the ramrod and minor shit like that, just because I didn't do the tutorial.
If one game on this planet NEEDS a thorough tutorial, it's this one.
There are notes laying around the base everywhere. I dont even know if the tutorial covers that lol. In my game the note was sitting right on the cleaning bench in your room. Have to be kinda dense to not figure that out.
You wouldn't need these tips if you just paid attention to the tutorial.
yup - I was one of those people. my bad!
Can I sleep in the zone? Or just in the safe house
On what dificulty shoold i play?
Definitely normal to start. Even I haven't completed it on hard... although that's just because I'm too scared to try 🤣
hello im playing on VIVA and HOW YOU OPENING ITEM INFOOOOOOOOOOO
On quest 2 its B or Y (the top button of the hand you're holding it with) but you gotta hold it down
