if a door is normally locked and you open it with the key then close it behind you is it locked again?

i can do looted find tasks on scav right?

i used all my gp to make an ammo box since ammo was like 1/3 my stash space

You can find them on scav runs
plucky reef
i think so it just says "find" and "hand in"

If it's a static spawn quest item
That's pmc only
And obviously the kill X quests are pmc only
plucky reef
oh pmc only meh

But any that require you to find and hand in general loot items can be done on scavs

What about this arcade thing made kind of realistic called insurance, how does it work?
and how can be properly interacted?
People are not very clear. If nobody extracts the item enemy or friendly but moves it in the map, AS LONG AS IT STAYS IN THE MAP, it's recovered by insurance? Can you confirm if it's clear what I asked.
uneven pier
It will brought back to you within 36 hours if nobody looted/extracted with it.
bold kernel
So it just have to be freaking inside the map.
that's how it works. .. ok I asked for the friendly "sweet death" approach u know.. to be operating correctly towards them.
night mural
Yes as long as it's still on the map when the raid timer ends. You get it back
uneven pier
yes, if someone extracts with it it's theirs.
Likely situations of getting insured items back:
It's shite.
Killed by scav.
Killed by better geared player.
bold kernel
yes yes this makes sense but the question above wasn't clear yet to me.
I thought one could be a bitch
waxen forge
Insure all every raid. Many people will not loot armor/backpacks/rigs
bold kernel
by removing the items from the body and just throwing them somewhere.
To make the enemy not recover them. Instead u do them a favor acutally.
uneven pier
^ people do that for friends
I often throw my gear away cause I often spawn with budget builds and use what I find in the raid
and then get my stuff back the next 1-2 days
amber saffron
yeah i always get most of my stuff back via insurance
waxen forge
Yea if I die and am with teams I will ask my team to take my stuff and dump it in a bush so nobody can find it
bold kernel
Ok so if I kill somebody but I dnt have space or I wanna be good I will actually .. if safe enough for me,... hide their stuff.. (counting they have used this gamey thing of the insurnace sweepers)...
ok
waxen forge
Or if I go in with a budget/meme kit and I kill guy with good stuff then I will drop my stuff in a bush and just use the good gear.

I did some hidden cache runs in Customs last night, came out pretty well! Usually would extract with 2 weapons and bags slammed full. Would recommend to newbies like me, only ran into 1 person who was doing the same thing. Sent his ass to the lobby, my loot!
Then died like 10ft away from extract, but that's how it goes.

That's how I play customs too, cache runs, I get out about 60-70% of the time

waxen forge
You do you but it will not stop any decent rounds and you then cannot hear as well as you need to.
I play solo 99% of the time
uneven pier
when I play solo I run without armor and helmet, because either the enemy PMC has AP rounds or I'm gonna get domed anyway, but when I play together i'm never pointmen, so I run armor and helmet then
that's why I agreed with you later on
however I feel like running armor without a helmet is a waste, you'll just get domed by even the shittiest rounds

Factory.
frosty plinth

waxen forge
Factory tends to be shoot on sight map.
uneven pier
yep
waxen forge
It's so hectic most people scav or not don't take the chance
uneven pier
it's too close quarters too, no running behind a rock or tree
the moment you're spotted you either kill them or die
lost snow
Yeah, so I don't get why we're even given the choice not to shoot AI scavs.
waxen forge
Also scav on factory is a wasted $ making opportunity. If you are good on cash then it's cool if you just want to shoot stuff. If you need money factory is not best option.
uneven pier
because AI scavs can be your warning as a player scav
waxen forge
On other maps not shooting ai scavs can be helpful
uneven pier
I often walk scav around areas populated heavily by AI scavs to have a "early warning" system
cedar imp
I use them as bait 100%
waxen forge
You will learn when to and when not to.;

They holler as soon as they see someone, quite helpful

Yeah, but it's essentially impossible to see the difference between normal players, AI scavs and player scavs.

if the sniper scav is dead, there's a good chance a semi-experienced PMC is in the area

Not impossible at all

Factory is close quarters. Once you see someone they probably see you as well.

also a AI scav will never aim down sights
lost snow
Might as well shoot them down.
uneven pier
yea on factory like budracer said; shoot on sight
uneven pier
^
waxen forge
Rules of other maps not apply the same always
How you play factory is not tactical nearly as much as other maps. Notice tactics people said. Leaving ai scavs as warning signs.
Factory is very hectic. it's just run and gun for the most part.
Not representative of how people play on other maps.
Experienced players can tell what is an ai scav vs. a Player scav very easily.
cedar imp
I love it when you can get an AI scav to walk through a door before you lol
uneven pier
I had the same problem originally, couldn't tell difference between AI and player scav
but after like 2 days of playing it became very obvious
also AI scavs always only have 1 weapon

What map is the best for a starter (80hrs in)
waxen forge
Customs for task and Interchange for loot. Also shoreline is another decent loot map although the resort part will be more dangerous
uneven pier
I like to suggest customs, doesn't have raiders and boss has only a small gang, also it isn't camped by sniper with thermals and stuff like woods or camped as hard as reserve
cedar imp
Watch out for the choke points in Customs, look up some shortcuts to help out.

Not really

That's internet/server issue. Make sure you have the top 10 lowest ping servers selected.

@limpid grove You can buy them off the Fleamarket, but scavs carry them fairly frequently

Imagine it this way. You have 4 slots in rig and a mag in weapon. If you take a mag out of the weapon you need a spot to put it before you take a mag to put into weapon. So need 1 empty slot as big as your biggest mag (vertical) for the mag from the weapon to go into before he can take a full mag to reload weapon

whats the best way to make money that i could quickly and easily learn
waxen forge
@night mural It's a questionnaire. Check #eft-announcements for the link to the application
night mural
Thanks :)
trim herald
Just to avoid confusion, horizontal rig slots that are large enough to accept the mag you're changing out will also take it
As some rigs have horizontal 2x1's
waxen forge
True
bold kernel
but thats too hard isnt it...
waxen forge
No
bold kernel
idk where to look what to loot
waxen forge
Easy money
frosty plinth
@bold kernel that's the exact advice I followed to learn how to make money
trim herald
Pestily also has an Interchange loot run guide up
frosty plinth
PC runs on interchange
uneven pier
@bold kernel use the maps on the wiki and do 1-2 offline runs without bots to learn the spots
trim herald
That's slightly different
Additionally you can run caches on Shoreline
They're all viable
waxen forge
It's not "flash" loot like rolers and bitcoin but it's steady loot that a lot of people ignore because it isn't flash. Fill up a scav BP with tech from PC and you can make 150K easy
Likely more
trim herald
But I'd only recommend Pestily's loot run if you're doing it on your PMC
So is the questionnaire like a personality questionnaire?
bold kernel
is there a good short vid outthere showing the best run/
trim herald
RommelToday at 3:40 PM
Pestily also has an Interchange loot run guide up
bold kernel
ok.
uneven pier
doing vid runs instead of your own route makes it likely to run into other people though
bold kernel
yeah ive got no more guns and barely any money so gotta get in production soon..
frosty plinth
scav runs mate
trim herald
Which is why I only recommend doing it on your PMC, because the areas will be looted by the time you scav in
waxen forge
There are ink-blots and questions about your parents @trim herald PLus a DNA test
trim herald
Oh that's easy, all ink-blots look like bats and my parents died when I was young
waxen forge
Not he PC...based on my experience. I scav there and still can loot them all the time.
trim herald
They're not part of the loot run though 😄
bold kernel
idk where pc's are though the stores are huge and i dont wanna just run around myself for 30 mins..
broken quailBOT
trim herald
PC's are marked on the map iirc
frosty plinth
@bold kernel why not though? Like, if you want to learn the map, why not run around yourself?
trim herald
You'll need to learn the map anyway for some of the later quests
As they require you to walk into specific stores
waxen forge
Oli has some hallways off of the main big Square part of the store
Just go offline interchange with no scavs and look around Oli and Goshan to find PC's
frosty plinth
a PC bank in IDEA too
waxen forge
Yup in the office
frosty plinth
although that one is pretty contested
trim herald
I wonder actually if they based Interchange on a rl location
waxen forge
If you remember it's a big rectangular mall with big stores on either end and a big store in the back middle then you have those reference points. Then the rest is made up of big main hallways with stores along the sides.....just like any mall in many different countries
pliant elk
I drew a loot route into the interchange map, max 8 minutes per run, if you get SE spawn in the Oli you can do this run in 4 minutes in and out. Purple lines are with SE spawn, red lines are with NW spawn.
The run needs both KIBA keys tho (~1.5 Mil on the market) also 35% chance to have Killa spawn there and kill you eventually.
If you do this right you make around 2 Million in 30 Minutes depending on what loot spawns. It's basically KIBA, Tech Stores, Oli and extract.
You do this run by night and select low populated servers, SCAVs can still fuck you up especially Killa.
For your gear you take the biggest bag you have, 16 slot tactical rig or bigger, painkillers if you get shot to be able to keep running and a pistol with a flashlight to defend yourself if you get into a scav fight.
I made 1.5 million yesterday in 2 hours with a terrible route and without KIBA which is a gold mine, you find modded M4's and AK's in there and a lot of high end attachements, this is a refined route I did a lot of research. @bold kernel this if based of off pestiliys video
frosty plinth
for sure
waxen forge
And if you just avoid the middle and loot tech stores and hardware in Goshan/Oli then you can avoid Killa totally
frosty plinth
especially for a starter account
pliant elk
I found that true aswell
waxen forge
And it's easy to move around with a decent chance of not even having to fight
Kiba overrated
pliant elk
Im only Level 21 btw
waxen forge
tech/hardware sells for better (consistently) that what you will find in Kiba
pliant elk
Knowing 3 maps in and out thats it
trim herald
Only time I go Kiba, even though I have keys, is if I do a loot run and spawn in late so all the high value spots are looted out
pliant elk
I die a lot going for Kiba
trim herald
At that point, it's faster to try Kiba and possibly die, than loot PC's and shit
As I'll make more money just doing another quick run
pliant elk
But not when going for idea Offices etc
bold kernel
okay... ima try to go offline with scavs off and learn the paths i guess
trim herald
I'd never recommend buying the keys though, as they're not worth it

Compare LOWEST flea price to Therapist.

they are worth something like 45-55k I believe

Theres a listing fee on flea

My threshold for how close will be different than you. If it's like 1k difference I'll just sell to trader.
Always factor in tax
Pretty much @quasi hawk
I can sell dozens of items to traders instantly for instant payment
Vs. having to post 3 offers at a time on flea
But if price difference is significant enough (for me) I'll sell on flea

My example of this is last wipe was 9 months long. I reset my account with about 4 months left. I was level 1 with base gear and low level traders.
