First raid EVER and I survived

Preface

I bought Escape from Tarkov(EFT) preorder / beta access on january 28. 2022 because I needed something to waste my sparetime on... time will tell if I get hooked.

This page is intended as my own personal reference card to stuff I probably will forget if I do not write it down somewhere :-D

12.12 Weapon builds

Advice i found on the Intarwebz

Game mechanics

  • When doing Scav-runs if cases/boxes/crates are closed but empty on examination it means that they probably was looted before you loaded in. If they are open they were looted after you loaded in. this also applies when doing PMC runs but in this senario you will normally not encounter closed loot-containers as I understand it.

Beginner advice

  • Buy a cheap weapon and nothing else and go to shoreline, go to the sniper rock and kill the 1-2 sniper scavs that spawn there - then check YouTube for the tutorial for how to get on top of the rock to loot them. They always have either a scoped Mosin or sks and semi decent loot for a new player.
  • Extract at path to lighthouse, or road to customs
  • Rinse and repeat for ez loot

Errors

Stuck on "Awaiting session start"

Stuck on "Awaiting session start" should be exclusively on your scav ; if you're stuck on "Awaiting session start" specifically for more than 5 minutes ; it's a good indicator that you're desynced and need to Alt+F4 and restart.

Scav Voicelines in english

This list is incomplete and translations are unconfirmed/not verified ;-)

Voiceline Translation
Stryomnoye mestechko "Stryom" means fear, "mesto" is a place. Kind of like "This place is giving me shivers"
Khot' mne tut pizdets kak ne nravitsya, no vykhoda u nas net Although I don't f*cking like it here, we don't really have a choice
A vot tut drugan moy byval, tochno Oh! My friend was here once, that's for sure!
I kto tak voyuyet? Tak tol'ko debily voyuyut! Who even fights like this? Only idiots fight like this!
A, bashka bolit.. Bukhat' nado men'she Argh, got a headache. I should drink less.
Paskuda! used to describe a bad person who has done bad deeds;
Suka-a-a! Biiii*ch!
Vot khuy! What a d*ck!
Chiki-briki, pal'chik vykin' Chiki-bricki is a phrase that is meant to describe an act of cutting something off. "Pal'chik vykin" means "throw a finger away". Basically a Russian version of "This little piggy went to the market" with a finger (toe in case with piggy) that was cut off.
Nu davay, davay! Come on, come on!
Davay, davay-davay! Come on, come on - come on!
Davay, mochi ikh! Come on! F*ck them up! (this one doesn't actually have swear words in it, "mochi" literally means make somebody wet (not this way, you perv!) by trying to drown them (assuming in a barrel or bucket of water or something). "Ikh" = them. Basically a call to kill somebody.
Mrazota! another word to describe somebody nasty and bad as a person, this one has a hint of "disgusting".
Khe, s utra vypil - den' svoboden a catchphrase from Scav, that means "He-he... have a drink in the morning and free up your day" (meaning this was the only thing planned for the day)
Osobenno von tot parenok v belom, krasava blin Especially that dude wearing white, what a legend! (legend is pretty far from original here, but it's used in a same way by English-speaking society)
Urod! Descriptive for a person who has done bad deeds, literally means "Ugly", but in this context it's used as a "Ugly f*ck!"
Ot medvedya yeshcho nikto tselym ne ukhodil! No one has yet escaped from a bear alive! (he's using "tselym" though, it means "in one piece")
Khuyar' medvedya! F*ck the bear up! (referring to a member of PMC "Bears")
Da yobushki-vorobushki no way to translate this literally, it has a meaning of "For f*cks sake".
Blya, rabotayem, rabotayem F*ck! Work them over! - would be the closest way to phrase it. Scav means "let's work!" literally, meaning that killing is the job here.
Gandon yebuchiy! F*cking condom! (condom could be used as quite an offensive way to describe a person who have done bad deeds)
Poshol, poshol! Move, move!
Shcha k barygam, a potom - po babam First to the pawn shop and then to b*tches. (He doesn't actually say "cutie", but he means pretty loose women here)
Dostalo uzhe vso eto I'm so done with this already.
Chto, zabyl kto te baton v budku zakidyvayet? Did you forget who's d*ck you're sucking? (He's saying this in a bit funnier way: "Did you forget who's throwing his baguette into your doghouse?" ("Budka" means a doghouse, oftentimes used to describe head, lol))
Ey, uyobok! Nu kak tam tebe, pechot!? Hey, f*cktard! Is it getting hot yet!?
Khm Hmm. (would you guess?)
Kak zhe zayebalo vso I'm so f*cking done.
