Escape from Tarkov (EFT) can be a crazy game that we only prepare for with diligence and thoughtfulness in the lead-up to one of those wipes we will be discussing today. The ultimate hideout is one of the most important things to prepare. This guide gives you a rundown of the necessary steps and things to look out for in order to prepare your hideout before the EFT 2024 wipe.
The safe house in EFT is not a simple place for you to take a breath. These are simply a central point for crafting, healing, and buffing different stat mechanics in the game. A good hideout may be the difference between life or death, especially in those early few hours of a wipe when resources are scarce.
To begin upgrading your hideout, you must collect essential products. These include:
Â
The principal means of collecting these resources are through scavenging in raids and trading with vendors or other players. Focus on trading for items of higher value that can actually trade them back into multiple hideout-required components.
Prioritize upgrading the below-listed modules:
Â
Long-term upgrades that will get lost with the wipe:
Â
The Workbench: a place to create the weapons, ammo, and combat essentials you need.
A critical element of your hideout that powers other modules in the hideout arena.
Generating passive income, the Bitcoin Farm allows you to build up an in-game currency of your own.
Intelligence Center reduces scav cooldown and boosts module efficiency.
Try to get the ones that will be useful for the most upgrades. Prioritize items like GPUs, CPUs, and other high-tech components because they are required in a range of modules.
Take advantage of the flea market and trade quests to get breakthrough resources. Swapping lower-value items en masse for vital high-end parts could move your hideout progress along faster.
It is extremely important to maintain a win-win situation between scavenging raids and hideout upgrades. If you consider them specifically as times for collecting resources and constructing, then at least there is a window available to make some progress effectively.
Use scav runs to get resources for your main character. Construction material and medical packs in more of the case, and it helps those players who only scav run.
Prepare your generator with plenty of fuel tanks and conditioners to keep it running. Running out of fuel can halt your progress and delay critical upgrades.
Upgrade the generator and active modules sparingly to optimize your power usage. Power modules only when necessary to save fuel.
The upgraded workbench and other crafting modules will provide good indoor entertainment while you grind labor currencies to make high-value items worth selling in the flea market. For example, high-end ammunition, medical supplies, or weapon parts will bring a lot of money.
Concentrate on creating useful tools for life after the wipe. When the game restarts, you will have an advantage if you can access critical medical supplies, ammunition, and weapons.
Work on stockpiling all of those essentials that are crucial in the early days of a post-wipe world. Goodies like medkits, extra ammo, or necessary gear to get you started with a head start.
Track the market and have a rough idea of what players will suddenly crave after the wipe. Spending on these items has significant economic benefits.
Escape From Tarkov’s ultimate escape room requires preparedness, efficient use of resources, and power leveling to upgrade before the 2024 wipe. Given enough time and preparation, focusing on these most critical modules will provide you with a significant edge while ensuring that when your wipe comes around, it all goes smoothly. This guide is to help you optimize your hideout so that when the next chapter comes out, it will make life a little easier.
