Keeping a handguard in your pouch allows looting good attachments—even if you die. Goliaf (Mechanic lvl 1) or XRSU* are some examples. #EscapefromTarkov @bstategames * don’t forget to put it on a gas tube, otherwise it takes two slots.

Why I like this flea-based HK build: - nostalgia - more cost-efficient than M4 if you don't have high-lvl traders - no need to mess with gas block / handguard - ready for canted sights (ACOG + DeltaPoint is love) - ...nostalgia #EscapefromTarkov

One of my fav MCX builds right now. Very surprised how good the gun performs with the new recoil. Ammo prices fluctuate a lot. Price tips: M62 (36pen,54dmg) if <900, CBJ (43pen,58dmg) if <1.1K. Fillers: BCP/V-Max. Check our discord (link below) for details. #EscapefromTarkov

The “XRSU47SU” handguard occupies only one slot in your secure container if used with the gas tube. The guard acts as an attachment holder and allows “collecting” lots of lasers, scopes, and even a grip during the raid. #EscapefromTarkov

I’m sure BSG were well aware of the amount of backlash they would get from almost all the creators that made the game popular. Yet they did it and released this p2w debacle. Which leads to the trivial question: why? Just greed or very serious financial issues?

If you're a fan of eco-friendly 5.56 builds, consider the MDR. It is easy to control in full-auto, even w/o pricy mods. The reason is the comparably low rate of fire and excellent base stats. #EscapefromTarkov @bstategames Don't forget to share it if you're an MDR enjoyer 💙

PMC AI: from what I’ve seen and heard, the AI is basically from rogues/raiders. PMC bots are more or less stationary (they don’t “raid”) with rogue-like loot and random dogtags/levels. dev effort: 1/10 realistic behavior: 1/10 price: 100€ PvE and PvP fleas are separated.

Arena is likely the reason for BSG‘s financial struggles—alone the double-digit-million PR expenses last year, plus ongoing dev & ops costs. Obviously, arena won’t generate significant revenue. Wise strategy would be: - cancel arena, refund buyers - rollback “unheard” - recover

pros: - gun usually <50 K - ...means nobody loots it - 60 ergo once you got gunsmith 15 (->foregrip) - 20-rounders with SP-5 are so cheap that you always bring enough into raid - 70 dmg allow for leg meta if opponents have good helmets (cons below) #EscapefromTarkov

the korund is one of the cheapest class 5 armors and available “already” at Prapor lvl 3. it has the lowest effective durability of all t5 armors and a severe movement penalty. on the other hand, it repairs quite well, so it’s usually worth to ensure it. #EscapefromTarkov
