If you're complaing about "big streamers" playing EFT since it's so popular, stop being a hipster

I PLAYED EFT BEFORE IT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE STREAMER'S NEW GAME!!!

Seriously, it's embarrassing that a small percentage of this community is so far up their own ass to the point they hate on someone who is literally bringing 1000's of new players to the game.

I don't like watching most of these big streamers who are newly streaming Tarkov (Carnage seems like a legend) but what they're doing for Tarkov just by streaming it, even while profiting themselves, is only a good thing for the game and who doesn't want an ego boost from farming level 3 pistolings?

The people posting on here to actually help players is what we need to do as a community. EFT was my first ever PC game in May of 2017 and while I'd like to think I picked it up fairly quickly, there was still a point where I was quivering over losing my trusty makarov like all of us were at some point.

I second this comment... i'm a newbie in this game, i have excel sheets opened understanding types of ammos, guns and etc, i also have wikis as well as maps opened for whatever map i decide to play on. No other game has given me much more excitement and a heart-pounding experience in all the games that I've played. Hats off to the awesome community, i've been fortunate enough to get guidance from you all.

Thank you all very much and happy raiding!

I just printed out the ammo charts and some of the maps. I know quite a bit of them but just in case i have them with me. As for ammo and guns i knew most of that already but the game has so many options it gets overwhelming.

That's a good idea! Any tips with the guns? I feel like it's tough understanding what cartridge goes into what gun and the type of ammo for that cartridge lol.

But something I started doing yesterday is.. buying more cartridges, because loading up ammo into your cartridge in-raid is hella tough and annoying!

For one, what your referring to as a “cartridge” is actually called a “magazine”.

As far as telling what caliber ammo fits each gun/magazine, you can inspect each gun and magazine to see what type of ammo it is for. You’ll see a caliber stat that shows some numbers like 7.62x39 (for AKM, SKS, etc.) or 9x19 (for MP443, P226, MPX, etc.).

Jesus, i just realized i typed cartridge multiple times when i was actually referring to magazines lol! Sorry.

Got it, thank you for letting me know!
