Hand Grenades


Hand Grenades

In this test we examine the three grenades available in EFT (v0.4.1.706).
We test each grenade for its capabilities in instantly killing, wounding, and hitting at all

All grenades are almost guaranteed kill within a meter of a the target. However at 5 meters we did not have a single kill (in over 20 grenade throws per grenade type).

After the v0.4.1.706 patch damage is still very disappointing. There appears to be more even explosive damage within the damage zone, but fragments hitting targets even at 7 meters is very unlikely still. In the current state the grenades are as if they had no fragments at all because there are still too few fragments spawning or something else is off. In real life the F1 grenade is advertised as very dangerous and it should not be used without cover, but in the game 10 meters appears to be a perfectly safe distance.

    Wonder if you could try if the grenades are more effective when you are standing on a higher position.

    I was killed instantly multiple times now by my own and mates grenades in the last couple of days. Even when standing behind cover.

    For example: Standing in 3 story dorms in the window in second floor above the cars, throwing the grenade into the woods.

    Standing on the bridge in factory throwing the grenade towards the exit.

    Standing on the railroad bridge on customs, throwing the grenade over the fence behind the shortcut.

    For me it almost looks like as if the fragments are shooting into the air diagonally, even penetrating walls.

      This would make sense. Consider the angle of attack on a fragment that starts on the ground. The angle the fragment has to travel away from the grenade in order to hit you gets much lower as you go farther away. So the chance that a fragment in the grenade takes that angle is lower, and the chances that the fragments go straight up (either because they ricochet off the ground, or are above the explosive within the device) is much higher than a more "horizontal" angle. This could be solved by adding more fragments to the grenade, or adding fixed angles on all fragments so they explode the same way each time.

      I think the developers are spawning far fewer fragments than 270 to save performance.

Complete night operations guide

In this guide we will examine what EFT offers for night time combat.   What is nighttime? First let's define what nighttime is in EFT. I would define it as the time in which the use of flashlights and night-vision equipment has a tactical advantage over not using it. The edge of dawn and dusk times can be narrowed down to the following:   21:30 is the time of day where dusk transitions into night time.  05:00 is the time of day where dawn transitions into morning. The passing of time Time in EFT passes approximately 5.5 times faster than in real life. This equals to one ingame hour as 12-15 minutes real time. This is important to keep in mind when preparing for a night mission. If you plan to spend 30 minutes in a map, appoximately 2.5 ingame hours will pass. So if the raid is started at 03:00 ingame time, then the sun will start rising near the end of your raid. 22:00. Note the last light of the sunset towards the west. 02:00. If the moon is out, m

Stocks

Bild
Stocks Stocks create the contact point between the weapon and shooter's body. It it is the most influental weapon part for recoil reduction. The stock causes 30-45% of the recoil reduction of a weapon. The folding of a stock's primary function is to save space when stashing the weapon. A secondary purpose is for it to make the weapon more maneuverable in tight spaces.   Stock configuration can stack up to four item slots: Stock adapter Buffer tube Stock Recoil pad   Stock types Fixed stocks The most common type of stock. These are non-adjustable, non-foldable.   Foldable stocks The handling of rifles inside vehicles, aircraft, while parachuting, operating machines, made a flaw in the weapon apparent: A long firearm gets in the way in tight spaces. To solve the issue, various ways of shortening a stock have been invented. Foldable, collapsible, detachable stocks were created. Some designs even sought to eliminate the stock as 'dead' space and integrated the stock into t

Tarkov SMG Guide

  Tarkov SMG Guide (last updated January 4th 2021)   Submachineguns The concept of submachineguns ('smg') dates back to World War 1. A more portable automatic weapon than machineguns, which were heavy and impractical to carry. World-War 2 was the first large conflict where smgs were issued in large quantities.      Why use submachineguns? Extends range of pistol ammo The basic take-away for submachineguns: What a pistol can do at 30 meters, the submachinegun can do at 100 meters. Superior to pistols Shooting the same ammo as pistols, it can outrange them with higher muzzle velocity and accuracy. Cheap automatic firepower Smgs are the weapons with the highest rate of fire. Low recoil Low-powered ammo + heavier mass than pistols = easy shooting and low recoil. Versatility Automatic fire for close combat, and accurate (for the ammo used) long range shooting on semi.   Ammo  A special note on ammo selection related to submachineguns: Opposite of p
