How visible is the laser to other people? I usually don’t turn them on when I get em on scavs, scared of giving away location

Just switch it on when you are about to engage close range

Only have a laser on if you intend to point fire
As that is the only way to gain the hidden bonus of having a laser on

They move after a bit. Take it slow. Watch for movement. IF they see you they usually yell first. Move away...reposition and get an angle on them.

if you hear them and don't see them, find cover while trying to echolocate where you heard them from

@hidden folio look up some budget builds. maybe even go in with a little less. But buy like 5 copies of everyything, even if it isn't much
then spend time listening, slowly working your way out to extract

STEEP learning curve. This game takes practice, PATIENCE, and commitment. You will die....a lot. It will get better but not soon.
If you picked up EFT because you watched streamers remember for the regular EFT streamers those guys have thousands of hours in game.
Then there is Summit and Shroud who have far less hours but are just really good with fps.
For the rest of us mortals this game takes time. Even if you are good at FPS like COD or Battlefield this is a whole new animal.

So is running with class 6 armor common at all even for high level players?

Most high levels are running 4 or 5 most of the time. Gen 4 and such.

Do a linked serach, that's what I did to find it

@silver hornet ah maybe on just the silencer?
because if you do it on the pistol with a wrong barrel it apparently only searches attachments that are poossible with that barrel

@ancient jungle
you were supposed to take the stuff and transport into your PMC stash
you were met with your inv as a scav and you were supposed to drag everythign from your scav into your stash
instead of spamming next key
ancient jungle
Yeah and evrything was gone off the charcter that i had picked up
long shale
yeah, by "after extraction" do you mean before you got to the move things to stash screen, or when you got to that screen
ancient jungle
When i got to the screen
jagged oasis
disregard my message. i fixed it
long shale
because the other question is - when you extracted did the number of people you killed look off?
like it looked like a previous match?
ancient jungle
Yeah it did look weird
long shale
because there's a weird bug that pops up once in awhile where the extraction screen bugs the hell out and shows a previous kill list, and none of your extraction loot is there
I've alt-F4d to desktop, and reloaded
and it somehow fixed it, but that was with PMC so the loot is static
not sure how it would work with Scav
tender void
so...on scav what I hear you need to do is
on the transfer item screen, transfer one or all items to your stash, then press next, accept the confirmation (it is fine)
then on the next screen after that with alot of stats, press the back button, repeat until an error pops up, this can take 5-15 min supposedly, and your stuff should be back on your player scav then.
tender void
well...i was a dumba$$ and pressed next 2x too fast after 15 tries....and fked up
got an error message but by then, i was aready out....lost labs card, and some other crap
tender void
no idea

stares at flea market
Okay, I get why things get expensive
but what I don't get, is how people manage to get into an undercutting war so bad, they undercut the Dealers

hardy blaze
some of the time undercutting the dealers will still get you more than if you sold it to a dealer
stone surge
Because selling on flea mostly still makes profit than selling to dealer
and undercutting dealer means fast sales
I almost never see that happen though

Val, vss basically no recoil

where BP is a lot cheaper than the others

Tbh I rarely use aks
I mainly use 7n1 m80 and 856a1

I use ak's 90% of the time as my whole stash is filled with them, but having shot with the VSS, it opened a new world for me
Because I am so used to having super high recoil
split vapor
Val is honestly a point and click adventure game
stone surge
Are there decent builds that make it so the AKM and such don't have that much recoil anymore?
or will it always be recoil heavy

@split vapor if you run with your Val which is most likely valued around 70-80k modded(?), do you insure it aswell?
I never insured yet, but insurance looks pretty decent from what I can tell if you run with expensive stuff
split vapor
I just insure everything
stone surge
ah I see, yeah I noticed the cost isn't too bad
split vapor
Val only needs the buffer tube pistol grip stock thingy and a grip and I just a pso on it
And lots of spare ammo
stone surge
Does insurance even work if someone else picked it up during the raid?
split vapor
If someone takes out of the raid nope
They can take it and die and you’ll get it back
stone surge
since it takes more than a day before you get it back. Do you get a headsup after that raid ended whether you get it back or not?
or is that always a surprise after the insurance time is expired
long shale
surprise
if someone else picks up your stuff, but they don't make it out of raid, you still get it back
ancient jungle
So when i play scav i am to scared to shoot anyonw because if you kill a scav they all attack you is that dumb logic?
tender void
not really
long shale
I mean, if you were playing a PMC they'd all attack you anyways
so as a Scav you are just safe from random AIs
rigid adder
Guys i've done something horrible and i can't fix it. at the end of my last raid I must have hit some form of a keybind (though i cant find it in the list of in game controls) causing my two monitor displays to entirely flip. my game is now on my second monitor instead of my main display.... halp
long shale
but as soon as you see them doing something suspicious like running when there's no enemies, looting, or just looking at you funny, they are probably a player scav

So what is the point od the secure alpha container and why is it better then any other item that can hold things
fluid cypress
I read somewhere, probably a subreddit comment, that said whenever you kill a Scav it usually starts spawning more in the area to combat you
is that true?
ancient jungle
I doubt it from what i seen on streams and from experience but i could be wrong
long shale
@ancient jungle wait the secure container? when you die, you still keep it and everything in it
fathom stone
^
long shale
so if you have key quest items, or some sweet sweet loot that can fit, put it in that
for example, when doing customs quests, put the customs office key you need to do them in that
so you don't "lose" it during the multiple tries
fathom stone
You can get bigger ones later in the game or by upgrading your edition. Although, when you play as a scav you do not have access to your container

Why would you sell gun parts to Therapist, im not sure she even accepts them

anybody want to play?
scenic warren
Anyone know why people on the flea market can be marked as out of stock? It's really messing up my weapon builds because it puts them there and pretty much makes using the preset useless other than as a reference while I go searching for the parts again. Or is there a setting to display more than just 1 seller of the items on the preset get parts page?

Why do you spawn with soemone looking behind you in factory so often
People say go to factory its the easiest but i have lost so much gear because i spawn and insta die to someone
waxen forge
Would never recommend factory for new people
delicate knoll
whats the best place for new players?
tawdry roost
factory is good for fast scav fast loot. factory as PMC is hard
delicate knoll
i just ran reserves as scav and killed two bears stacked and a fucking scav shot my head when i couldnt even see them
tawdry roost
id say most money is in reserv and interchange
delicate knoll
most money as in u get best loot?
tawdry roost
yeah
delicate knoll
whats best place for new players as pmc
tawdry roost
interhchange customs id say
scenic warren
I would recommend Interchange.
tawdry roost
loot
and size
one of bigger maps
you can learn and play smart
and avoid players
pretty much if you are smart about it
or you can go gunz blazing since it will be enough actions
waxen forge
Factory is not a loot map. It is never a map I'd recommend for new people
waxen talon
Factory is for PvP and Scav farming
New players should play Customs/Interchange/Shoreline
especially because those are the maps with the most quests
tired carbon
anyone recommend ways to get money? im rly struggling
waxen talon
Watch guides on ytb lol

and if i run tech stores i get lit up by thicc boyes

hey guys, new player here. I've made eft my day job for the weekend and i finally managed to gather up 2 mp-133 shotguns for prapor. I stripped them down to the bare receiver too. My issue is that i cannot give them to him. I dont get an option to hand them over at all. I did it without a problem for the salewa kits quest so i know where the button is supposed to be

@ancient mauve You cant. You need the whole weapon

i literally dont understand, I shot my gun straight at a guy who was standing still and I just dont hit the shots. like am i really just that bad? I had a shotgun and it was pretty close
like is the aiming on this game so much different than any other fps?
silver hornet
Learn to aim for the noggin

well its just the fact I didn't get a single shot hit

Could have been desync

and then he ran into a building and i saw him through a peak and shot

i just got killed by a sherpa
bold kernel
can someone please explain to me the difference between mosins? i know some you can scope and some you cant, theres carbines and infantry carbines, it was always too confusing and i cant find any good online references to clear up the confusion
solid gulch
infantry you "can't scope"
really that just means you need a tri-rail mount
the regular one that says "sniper" in the name you can add a kochtev mount and a scope
bold kernel
is there a way to convert an infantry carbine into a carbine?
solid gulch
no
if it says infantry, that means the receiver (the main part of the gun) doesn't have the mounting bolt holes to accept a scope mount
bold kernel
ok, is it the same with the sks/opsks?
i know sks you cant scope
no way to convert it?
solid gulch
pretty much i think, the tri-rail might work on the regular sks though idk
waxen forge
Tan (OP or Hunting SKS ) you can scope
bold kernel
aight cool, @solid gulch thanks for answering that for me man
is it possible to put any sight at all on the sks/infantry (outside of trirail) or do you have to iron sight it
solid gulch
iron sights
oh wait, you can totally switch the stock i think
it's not cost effective
tbh the iron sights on the infantry mosin aren't bad
normal abyss
@bold kernel
you need to replace the sks stock
the stock is actually most of the gun
there are 2 that let you have sights
split vapor
No the stock doesn’t matter to be able to mount a scope
The sks is called sks and there is a opsks which allows the dovetail Mount

What's the easiest way to make some quick money for new players?
I'm at less than 100k right now

Run interchange as scav and PMC. Loot tech stores and weapons. Sell it all using Therapist>Skier>mechanic...rinse and repeast

I did Interchange as a PMC yesterday and I got some loot, but I couldn't figure out where the fuck the railyard was and online maps weren't helping
Didn't have money for power station, either

Night raids are dark @silver hornet Some are lighter if moon is full

Yes it's dark inside at night and can be a bit lighter once gain depending on mood
silver hornet
I literally cannot see anything indoors during daytime raids

If it's a room with no windows and no lights on then yes it'd gonna be dark
Go into a room in your house with no windows and turn the lights off = dark

Even when people I'm playing with can see shit clear as day?

is there any way to make the fog less dense and further things more clear

does anyone wanna play im new but know how to plau
silver hornet
Can't find anything in AMD Radeon for Tarkov
has settings for all of my other games but not EFT
waxen forge
Nvidia has a Global setting. Not sure if AMD does
EFT is in "beta" and doesn't have specific settings like other games
silver hornet
Welp, just died 2 minutes into a Scav run on interchange
Time to wait another 20 minutes just to get shit on again
split vapor
Beats waiting an hour like the old days
waxen forge
I mean this as advice. I tell new people to Reset Expectations when they start EFT. If you think you are going to jump in and kick ass think again. Good at FPS like COD and Battlefield? That's great but once again think again. You are going to get your ass kicked and then kicked some more. Time and experience will make you better as long as you think about what you could have done differently. Record yourself. Nvidia has Shadowplay and if you don't want that OBS is free. Just record games and watch later. You'll see stuff you missed in the heat of the moment.
split vapor
Tarkov isn’t for the CoD casuals
People typically die because they are rushing into the unknown
Or just don’t pay attention
short otter
When i play i tend to wait, listen, move slowly, i even sneak up on people and still i get wrecked. Last game i played i went in full gear and got the jump on a guy who had nothing expect a pistol... and still got fucked. What advice would help in those situations? aside from getting good obviously
silver hornet
Dump a billion fucking hours into the game, obviously
short otter
fair enough
waxen forge
It is what it is @silver hornet I have around 1700 hours in and just almost got rekt by a scav in basement on Idea. I had on ok armor and damn near died. He took my arm, broke my leg, blacked my head. My experience kept me calm and I just didn't stand there and panic spray and pray. Luckily I could prone where I was and take a pain pill and the reposition and kill him. But I damn near died.

where do i get euros?
fluid belfry
how do you get into a lobby with ur friends
waxen forge
You go from stash to Escape from Tarkov...then hit next til you get to a screen that has a list of names and a picture of your PMC or Scav
Under your character hit Start Looking for Group...and your friends do the same
Find their name on the list and 1 person right clicks on the names and Invite to group
waxen forge
Right..pick a map and a time...then keep hitting next til you get to the screen I mentioned. After the leader invites all then the leader hits "ready" and you all go into the raid

In which order should I level up the traders?
split vapor
All
waxen forge
If you are doing tasks you really work on them all at the same time except for Peacekeeper
They have different player levels to unlock level 2 and such but as you do tasks and buy from and sell to them you are working on them. If you are asking should you buy only from 1 and sell only to 1 then no...not even close
edgy ferry
Yeah but lots of them buy the same items as eachother
next ruin
Skiier = priority for tasks, so that you can unlock peacekeeper quests.
split vapor
Yes

so who should I sell to first, if they do
split vapor
A traders pays for me certain things
