EFT--- Discovered that 'Fence's goods are all from players selling stuff to him. What is listed for sale changes a lot but that's because his blackmarket shop services either an entire region, or a specific group of servers (not sure which). There have been times I've gone to buy some brass and get a pop-up saying "That item has been already sold". Anyway, just means another player has beat you to it. Went to buy a keyring Fence had for sale and someone got it before me. Lol. Anyway just a tidbit of info. I found a working compass and working rangefinder on one of the traders goods lists (Jaeger) and hot darn that compass is worth the coin, especially on new maps where disorientation is easy. Rangefinder is helpful if you want to zero in on a specific spot- not quite as handy as bore-sighting would be, but helpful none-the-less. I've got both pieces where they stay with me (like the safety box you carry, where you can put stuff that does not get wiped when you croak or fail to extract).
Oh, and when traipsing around some maps you really have to pay attention. There are booby-trapped bodies (Usually claymore and wire), claymore tripwire traps, mines (hidden and otherwise) that are not marked in anyway. A multi-tool will let you disable the trap. Note that on Woods there is at least one non-map-edge spot that has some nasty AP mines that are buried and grass is growing on top. Can't recall the exact location, but it was on top of a grassed low hill and when we crested the hill we walked into some tall grasses seeing as we spotted a sandbagged emplacement and a blue tent just inside the woods that crowned the hill. We started approaching the encampment when I heard a click. Then BOOOOOOOOM. Just thankful it wasn't a bouncing betty. My son also triggered a mine. I think, and this is pure speculation, that the minefield was an old one, predating the Tarkov conflict or maybe at the very beginning? There are hulks of knocked out T-72's and BMP's (and BRDMs) scattered together in wrecked platoons/or singular in spots in Woods which speaks to some tank/afv fighting over that map. Regardless of the history, neither of us took catastrophic damage.
