You can also just drop your own insured gear on the ground if you need to make room or find better equipment
limber notch
I saw something about insurance fraud by throwin backpacks on the ground and leaving. What does that mean/do?
bold kernel
So for my first PMC runs should I just take a pistol so I am not risking to much? I have a MP5, an m4a1 and an m700... but I am scared. Lol
hot inlet
Dropping your items to get them back later is insurance fraud
bold kernel
I have been trying scav runs but just keep dying. Lol
limber notch
But if you drop an insured backpack with items in it do you get everything?
hot inlet
Find a dead guy with a better helmet? Drop yours in a bush and put his on. You'll get your old helmet back if no one finds it.
Nope
The only items you'll get back in the backpack are ones already insured
limber notch
Oh so its just to get back singular better items
hot inlet
Use it to trade up your gear or hide your stuff if you think you might die
limber notch
Basically increasing effective space on ur pmc
And does insurance count as a 1 time thing till you get it back or is it per raid the item is taken into?
carmine gust
till you get it back
limber notch
Thanks
bold kernel
Can you store keys in the docs bag?
carmine gust
yeah
limber notch
Should I get Prep for escape now or EOD at next sale?
bold kernel
So it would be smart to take my docs bag in with me in my beta container?
hot inlet
EOD is probably the largest quality of life with the trader rep + stash size + larger case
carmine gust
So it would be smart to take my docs bag in with me in my beta container?
yes that is the normal thing to do
hot inlet
A docs case is great if you intend to loot more than just keys otherwise you can just take a keytool
SSD, flash drives, money, etc
white lynx
standard sucks im literally staring at my stash full only armor guns and rigs no junk or anything else
bold kernel
What can you put in a docs case?
hot inlet
Money, Diary, Intel Folder, GP coins, Keys, Keycards, Maps, Bitcoin, SAS drive, Flash drives, slim diary, ssd, tech documents, and guitar pick.
bold kernel
Money, Diary, Intel Folder, GP coins, Keys, Keycards, Maps, Bitcoin, SAS drive, ...

barren sapphire
what kinda ammo should I be loading into an ADAR at level2 traders?
bold kernel
Okay, so how do I stop dying? Lol jk nah man I just seem so old and slow in gunfights, some of these guys I have fought are like flick artists. crazy. Lol
Headsets really amplify footsteps and such that much better?
barren sapphire
yep, to the point of everything becoming too loud
hot inlet
Different headsets change how good/bad you hear different sounds
barren sapphire
all headsets make everything louder the same way. Its just that they focus differently on pitch and treble
bold kernel
This game is wild... Lol
terse flint
Okay, Im level 38 and I STILL havent gotten a single scav with a ski hat with holes in it, any advice xD

bold kernel
Are there any working promo codes?
I looked yesterday, from what I understand there is not yet.
limber notch
Ok thanks, regarding loot I have gone in with pistols and had some good returns
bold kernel
Yeah I think I am just gonna go pistol until I stop dying every raid and then just slowly go from there. Lol
limber notch
This was my 1st pmc extract ever. I went in with pistol (2 clips) and boy armour and some meds
silver hornet
is RIP ammo legs still meta?
RIP ammo is meta for legs, yes
pulsar summit
but is it like you shoot both legs once and they die?
bold kernel
This was my 1st pmc extract ever. I went in with pistol (2 clips) and boy armour...
Nice.
limber notch
IDK what is valuble though so idk what I need to carry
pulsar summit
well for flea market nuts and bolts sell very good
bold kernel
IDK what is valuble though so idk what I need to carry
Me either. Lol
pulsar summit
one of them sells for like 50k~
silver hornet
but is it like you shoot both legs once and they die?
no, you need to hit the legs a few times
limber notch
Are cigs worth carrying? I find a good amount of them
rare pebble
Ay, if anyone needs an escort for factory, or findind jaeger quest lmk
Just bored and like helping people
silver hornet
Are cigs worth carrying? I find a good amount of them
you need 5 of each different kind (except for apollos) for a quest
bold kernel
so do the Salewa and CMS do multiple things instead of just one like most meds? So If I take them my container can I effectively carry less because they do more?
silver hornet
Salewas can fix both light and heavy bleeds, while the CMS restores limbs that have been destroyed (for a penalty of losing 50% or so HP of the limb)
limber notch
Can the 50% be healed using meds?
pulsar summit
is scav box worth buying?
bold kernel
Ah so I will still need painkillers and AI-2's?
silver hornet
no. It takes away half of the max HP of the limb.
hot inlet
is scav box worth buying?
If you need space in your stash then yes
limber notch
oh
pulsar summit
If you need space in your stash then yes
but what can it stack?
rare pebble
Scav box worth imo
silver hornet
AI-2s are just for healing shit. Painkillers, yes.
limber notch
Ai-2 are the cheese looking things?
pulsar summit
yes
silver hornet
the kraft singles, yes
limber notch
ok tnx
bold kernel
Is there like a college level course for this game I can take? Lmao
pulsar summit
i like using Ai 2 if i come out of a pmc run to heal fully
hot inlet
but what can it stack?
Junk. Basically any loot you find in raids that isn't weapons, ammo, meds, food, etc.
rare pebble

hot inlet
Mainly things you'll use for quests, barters, or hideout upgrades

you do, but i prefer IFAK, they are basicly 3 Ai 2 combined

YOOO anyone wanna do rat runs with me?
pulsar summit

rare pebble
I'm in 2 man squad #9

rare pebble
Debatable
Rats are the people who hide in stupid spots, get picks, loot already dead bodies, take their teammates stuff after they die, etc
limber notch
Can I hand in a used salewa to therpist?
rare pebble
If found in raid yes
pulsar summit
if it is found in raid yes
limber notch
oh thats cool. Thanks
bold kernel
I don't think I could exit camp and look myself in the mirror later. Lol
rare pebble
I tried once
pulsar summit
then don't buy a mirror
rare pebble
But I was being chased by shitters
barren sapphire
RATs dont necesarily exit camp, they just hide like scared rats until all the action is over and then pick up the left overs
bold kernel
then don't buy a mirror
Hahaha
barren sapphire
but for beginners thats a legit playstyle
especially if you have a quest "pick up item X and survive". its easier to just get the item, hide in a bush for 30 mintues so everyone left and then extract
bold kernel
I might have to try being a rat... running toward the gunfire has been very hazardous to my health lately...
rare pebble
If anyone wanna do some low tier factory/woods/custom runs lmk
pulsar summit
i think doing scav runs is the easiest way to gain map knowluage
barren sapphire
@bold kernel remember that even if you have shooting skills, most of the fights in EFT are decided by armor + what kinda ammo you use. And you dont have access to the good stuff as a beginner
its possible you hit the enemy, but dont penetrate their armor with your shit ammo

fmj is max lvl 2 armaur right?

Depends on the ammo

the ones I was using had 6 to tier 1 and 2 to tier 2

as a beginner never fight, unless you get a clean headshot before he knows youre there

i found out that shooting people from behind in there ass also work
bold kernel
I heard shooting legs is good too?
pulsar summit
ye
limber notch
I think it stops them from running
barren sapphire
if youre ammo cant penetrate armor, shoot legs. Once the leg is blacked out, any damage it takes will be spread to other body parts
limber notch
and black arm means lots of recoil
barren sapphire
its your only chance to kill a heavily armored person with shit ammo
limber notch
so legs dont have armour effect?
barren sapphire

i shot a scav point blank in the chest with 4 7.5mm buckshots and he tanked every shot

bold kernel
Really? For f*cks sake.
limber notch
Buy EOD or Prep?
pulsar summit
what is differents?
limber notch
Eod is more expensive
pulsar summit
anything els?
hot inlet
EOD has that trader rep bonus which is very nice lol
limber notch
So does prep
white lynx
is it just me or the non-organic looting experience sucks in this game ?
hot inlet
Oh? I may need to upgrade then at some point because I hate Jaeger's quests lol
bold kernel
My own sounds keep freaking me out. Lol
pulsar summit
@rare pebble someone said jager quest XD
limber notch
The rep doesnt do much unless you have the req lvl tho no?
pulsar summit
not that i know of

so any boost to rep is good

Depends if you have the carrying handle on it or not. If you don't then a lot of scopes are compatible.
bold kernel
Just shot a guy point blank 4 times with a shotgun and he went ahead and killed me anyway. Lol
barren sapphire
@bold kernel in the after raid screen, take a look at the stats. It says something like "dealt X damage" and "Y damage absorbed by armor"
bold kernel
Okay.
barren sapphire
if that second value is almost as high as the first value your ammo didnt penetrate his armor
if they dont have a faceshield, just blast them into the face
hot inlet
Just shot a guy point blank 4 times with a shotgun and he went ahead and killed ...
If you're using buckshot in a shotgun then you can deal even 1k+ damage to someone and not kill them because of armor
bold kernel
Is there a way to go back and look at past raids?
bold kernel
It was a scav run, I am honestly not sure what I was using...
hot inlet
Probably either buckshot then or slugs
barren sapphire
most scav weapons/ammo can only penetrate class 1 or class 2 armor. Most PMCs run armor thats higher than that
at least once they have unlocked ragman lvl2
@bold kernel a very good beginner weapon is the default sks
its got good beginner ammo
and is good in most situations
uneven fjord
Hey is anyone willing to guide me aroud getting back into the game?
bold kernel
How about the M4a1? I have 2 of those... Lol
barren sapphire
sure theyre good, but since youre a beginner youll lose them pretty quickly i recon
but noones gonna take an sks from you so youll get that back in insurance
bold kernel
sure theyre good, but since youre a beginner youll lose them pretty quickly i re...
Yes, so is the SKS cheaper?
barren sapphire
its pretty cheap yes
bold kernel
Ah i see nobody wants it..
barren sapphire
and it runs PS ammo which is also fine for the beginning
the only downside is that it doesnt have a magazin (until you unlock higher level traders) so you have to manually load the ammo 1 by 1
limber notch
Should I use full auto as a beginner?
barren sapphire
thats why noone really takes it
bold kernel
Can anyone link or tell me what a good basic beginner loadout is?
barren sapphire
sks + penis helmet + paca armor
limber notch
What a penis helmet?
barren sapphire
- whatever headset you have available
bold kernel
Penis helmet? Lol
barren sapphire
the green one from ragman
its the only helmet you need to run until very late game
limber notch
I dont see how green = penis...
barren sapphire
the name is as old as the game
some was like "huh that looks like a penis head" and that stuck
limber notch
well thats penis helmet for me from now on
bold kernel
ssh 68 or the ratnik one?
limber notch
This?
bold kernel
Sweet thanks.
barren sapphire
yes the ssh 68
theres no reason to run any "medium tier" helmet
since they all get penetrated easily
at least this one has high ricochet chance
hot inlet
You can just buy the Ratnik at Ragman lv2 without the barter and use that for mounting NVG if you want to do night raids
bold kernel
Cheap headset? Or best one for beginner?
limber notch
there is one which cost 20k I think
barren sapphire
any headset is better than no headset
but be prepared that the default headset from ragman sounds horrible
hot inlet
Gssh is what you can buy starting off and it's better than nothing
barren sapphire
yeah that one lol
bold kernel
I have comtac2, tactical sport, Razor, and RAC... Which one should I lose first?
limber notch
Should I take rpk and mosin in raid or save till im better?
hot inlet
Probably the mosin. You can just buy them from Prapor and they're decent.
barren sapphire
@bold kernel doesnt really matter just pick them and lose them lol
mosin is a beast
very high risk but high reward
bold kernel
But my nerves man!!! My nerves and my heart!!! Lol
hot inlet
I have comtac2, tactical sport, Razor, and RAC... Which one should I lose first?
If you take the ComTacs someone will probably take them off your body though as they're very popular lol
People swear by those things but I absolutely hate them as it makes all the shooting sound right next to you.

@bold kernel this should be your budget beginner loadout. Its very very good
bold kernel
No sites?

no, sights are only going to make it more expensive, but youll gonna die a lot
so keep it cheap
and you cant put sights on the default sks anyways
bold kernel
How do I get a compass? Lol
barren sapphire
from a quest, you need to unlock jaeger first
high hill
@bold kernel you want to team up and do some sks runs?
bold kernel
I still have to complete the first quest from Prapor. Lol
hot inlet
You can get sights for the SKS but they require additional modding to mount them on the gun which means more money
And at that point you could just buy a more expensive gun out of the box
bold kernel
<@456226577798135808> you want to team up and do some sks runs?
Give me a minute and I can yes.
limber notch
Does scav kill scav count for quests?

"Scav doesn't affect PMC progression" shows in the game

hot inlet
You can also buy them from Jaeger if you have a hard time finding them in raid
limber notch
I have checked wiki a lot
barren sapphire
@limber notch do you need the mp133 for the quest?
limber notch
Yup
wind gulch
"Enter the map Customs and search for and kill five Scavs whom can be found throughout the map. Be sure to check if they have the MP-133 12ga shotguns. This shotgun can be found on Scavs, inside various Searchable Containers, or simply lying around"
straight from the wiki
check it more
limber notch
I know not the shothun part though although i assumed it was the case

limber notch
you can walk up to corner and lean or side step

hot inlet
Is it worth crafting salewa for task?
It's probably the easiest way to do it
limber notch
Ill craft one and see if I can get the other in raid
nvm i dont wanna build generator and I only have 1 fuel
hot inlet
I mean you'll need it eventually
limber notch
Yeah but Im not gonna be playing rn I was gonan let it craft while I do stuff but thats a waste of fuel

You can turn on the generator, start the craft, then turn off the generator
The craft will continue but just be slower
limber notch
oh so you can turn off? Ok thanks ill do that

Yeah. You have to wait ten seconds after turning it on but that's not a lot

Is there a way to know/guess where other PMCs or Scav players may spawn
drifting jolt
Is there a way to know/guess where other PMCs or Scav players may spawn
yes, cause the spawn locations dont change
there are more spawn spots than PMCs, but PMCs will spawn in the same spots every time
so not every spawn will have someone spawn there, but PMCs always spawn in the same spots
im wording that poorly, but i think you get it, i hope lol
barren sapphire
what hes saying is: spawnlocations are fixed, but which one you (or other pmcs) will get is random
drifting jolt
^ yeah that, thanks lol
hushed anchor
Yeah I meant if you could tell which player will spawn closest to you
barren sapphire
no, youll always have to look out for the spawns near you, but you can never tell if someone actually spawned there
drifting jolt
when you learn spawns you'll learn what directions your threats will be at the start
hushed anchor
So I can run the other way monkaw

this guy i was playing with in beginners assistance is like level 36 and knows all spawns and we just rushed and killed 4 people like 4 mins into match

@hushed anchor you could upload it into paint or something, and then circle the PMC spawns so you see them better

Interchange is the most loot dense, while being safest
reserve has more expensive loot, but it's more dangerous

Granades seem "overpowered" in a way

no lol

Theyre really not once you learn where to find them and when to use them

Oh right, Reserve

farming raiders on reserve is so easy as long as no one comes and messes with you while youre doing it

That map is more PMC heavy?
drifting jolt
but you gotta learn their AI first

@hushed anchor At map selection screen it shows you the amount of PMCs per raid on that map

@hushed anchor It's more dangerous than most maps, yes... but scav runs on reserve can net you sooo much

If your game seems abnormally dark in darker areas, then turn your monitor's gamma up... best trick for brigtening the game

and its not reshade so its allowed

if you buy it with roubles its cheaper

like if you pay for the EOD game with russian dollers

weapons and gear youre not using, just sell it

Pretty big chance it is, but honestly doing something like that is kinda scummy to save a tenner.

ill take that 40$ and buy arena

Purchases are locked to the specific geographic region the purchase was made from. The game can only be launched if your current region is the same where the purchase was made.
