*PvP* Goon Tracker

How to Kill the Goons

First thing to consider is which maps to send kits and try to take them, in my opinion Customs and then Shoreline are the easiest. Use the tracking sites and try to sift through obvious false reports to guess which map they are on. Once you are sure which map they are on, you may want to consider popping SJ6's for better chances to get to them. My general advice for killing the goons is to approach from wherever there is the most cover. You may have to take wide approaches because Birdeye will shoot you from very far. If you start hearing random bullets whizzing by you, its probably Birdeye and you need to back up and come from a different angle. Get close, throw nades (any nade or flash will work) to hear voicelines and distract them to get even closer. Once you engage and get aggro, just take cover and they normally circle and push you. This is the time to get kills, once you kill a goon, others typically will push as well. Use cover and listen for voicelines/steps.

Best Escape from Tarkov Gaming Hardware

Escape from Tarkov similar to games like Rust and World of Warcraft benefits heavily from CPU L3 cache. The best cpu you could buy right now that can potentially double (or more) your fps is a AMD 7800X3D because of the cache. It may require some additional configuration like Lassoing. You are also going to want at least 32gb of RAM. For graphics cards you definitely don't need state of the art, any current top ~15 card should be fine.
