how can i improve my stealth game? i am never able to do anything because it always seems everybody knows my position, even when crouch walking very slowly

Turning while moving makes less noise then just turning
You can get away with stealth on woods and shoreline and possible customs
floral holly
so, i took your advice, and tried being a little less stealthy, but I have now gone through 4-5 PMC runs, and i still can't complete the water quest in customs. i just get killed by a camper inside the dorms, every single time. maybe this game is just not for me

@vagrant saffron sniper rifle or something that will take a dude down in 1 or 2 hits. Either getting up to roof first and waiting for people. Hiding near the gas station or the sub station could work. Of if Rock Passage ext is open camp up at that power line tower across the water

does selling separate parts gain you more money?

yeah, when selling parts sell first to skier, then mechanic, then therapist
mechanic accepts guns and parts like stocks, and then therapist will be there for the misc stuff you have
and then since i don't use grenades i sell them to prapor

Spawn into interchange-> saw someone headshot them and kill them -> find this and run to the exit 10 seconds away

GG if you run labs thats even more looot
candid kettle
i have a labs keycard already
Just my game sense/aim in this game isn't good yet lol
i tried a few offline
got fucked
I don't got the gear for it unless i try what I saw some youtuber do is what's called a "hatchling run"
candid kettle
no idea what that is D:
pastel comet
and I was hiding in like this dorm room type area, just sitting in the back corner
the vulture strat is just waiting for everyone to leave and then looting the dead raiders/players
anyway
candid kettle
Ah
so wait for like the last 10-15m i assume?
since usually still good loot left over that covers the keycard
also can I ask why I sell to skier first?
pastel comet
more like 30 min I would say, and sell to skier first because he gives the most money for attachments
like lasers and sights
pastel comet
I believe so, not sure about fence but that's basically it yeah
candid kettle
Thanks for the help dude
one last question
is it better for me to just sell all my shit at the start
and do a few more scav runs
till I get used the maps etc?
not including "loot/keys"
but guns attachments etc
I got like 15 guns in my inventory i never use
pastel comet
oh yeah if you have stuff in your stash that you're never going to use, sell it
as for getting used to a map, I think doing scav runs would be beneficial till you get used to it
candid kettle
Yeah that's what I've been doing
sorting inventory etc usually takes like 5-10m anyways
so by the time i'm done another scav run is ready
pastel comet
ohh yeah, I love sorting my stash after a scav run, makes the wait less painful
candid kettle
yeah
usually see if anything I need etc
more or less scav runs till I get used to maps/get all the cases (mag,weapons,pistols etc) then start doing PMC
is my plan rn
pastel comet
hey no problem! if you ever need assistance on Interchange i've been grinding that map so I especially basically know it like the back of my hand
candid kettle
Yeah i'm learning it
Figured out that I can just run across the border to get to an exit if I ever get lost
but it's tiny compared to customs which is the first map i actually somewhat know decent
pastel comet
oof, I suck at customs lol, anyway you take care man I'm about to pass out 😴

can be fun once you get all the keys, especially shortcut

Hey guys. I am not sure if this is the right chat to ask this in but here goes. I have been greatly interested in EFT for well over a year now but i've always been skeptical of how the game actually plays. I talked to a friend of mine who played around 6 -8 months ago and he said it was overall a laggy, unoptimizted, glitchty expereince and was not worth it at the moment and was worried that would still be true now. What do you guys think? Is it worthwhile to get the game now?
split vapor
From playing sense 0.2, rarely had lag, stutters, the works..
whatcha mean how the game plays

mostly in terms of optimization

@twilit cipher
Just take your raids a lot slower, make sure you stick to cover, only take shots you're sure you can hit, and if you are in a fight suppressing fire is surprisingly good to keep peoples head down.
Also you have to remove the tube in your stash, load it, then reattach it.
Last thing, just because you're not good at a game doesn't mean it's bad. It just means you need practice.

I would recommend learning customs and shoreline first. Most quests are on those locations
brittle depot
Alright, what should i avoid on shoreline?
to stop dying every run, probably running to high pop areas

Shoreline has only one high pop area
And that's the resort in the center
You want to be there too
brittle depot
hmm, been wrecked everytime tho

But that's where the good stuff is

is it better to sell sopmod m4s to the flea market or trader?
bold kernel
If you break it all down you could probably sell it on flea market if you had the slots... time wise merchant is faster I believe. I loot more weapons then I build/buy.

take them apart and sell everything to the trader, should bring more

there is 1 mission in which you have to kill 6 pmcs with pistols
but if you want you can use them to get started

so when I pick a gun or a mag from someone the magazine & gun are "?/number"
how do I reveal how much ammo there is in it
idle bluff
Right click on it and hit "check" - if it's in your gun then alt + t checks the magazine

If anyone is around to run a few raids with a newer player let me know. I'm definitely no where near good, just trying to get into a few more non-solo firefights.

You can purchase dollars with Peacekeeper. Something like 116 roubles per dollar I think.

Why does it take like 6-13 minutes to load a map
split vapor
thats a you pc problem
pastel comet
also might be because its your first time loading into the map
but if it takes that long then yeah might be a pc problem
brisk mortar
As far as loading, your CPU, Ram and Hard Drive/SSD matter a lot more.
autumn delta
@bold kernel it's your PC probably your RAM going from 4 to 8 more than halfed my load time
split vapor
I mean a fresh load in a map for a raid is normally 90-120 seconds
brisk mortar
@bold kernel
a M.2 NVME SSD and 18gb of memory would cut your load time drasticly.
bold kernel
thank you
spiral dirge
18gb 
brisk mortar
16, sorry.
spiral dirge
nvme speed won't be seen in gaming btw, maybe a nanosecond or so. if you dont have a normal ssd then yeah thats a huge upgrade
autumn delta
@bold kernel definitely! I built this pc with a 5600rpm HDD and not only was windows very slow to do pretty much anything, my games would lag the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuk out, I tried using a 7200rpm one and it still lagged until I got an ssd, apparently Windows 10 and hard drives don't get along
also ram is huge for load times and in game performance
