EFT Hideout Introduction

The Hideout is a feature of Escape from Tarkov’s main gameplay loop that you can use or avoid completely. It’s an independent base where you can construct different modules that can give you bonuses like cooldown reductions for your Scav character, increased healing regeneration, and the possibility to craft meds or repair armor. To build a module, you’ll usually need to bring the items asked for that specific module. Some of these can be purchased from Traders and other players or obtained via quests, while most can be looted in a Raid.

There’s a total of 21 modules in Escape from Tarkov. Building them is a grinding activity that will take time, but it will also give you permanent useful resources and bonuses.

Bitcoin Farm Data

The current Bitcoin farm will produce a single Bitcoin at the rate of 1/(145000/(1+(GC-1)*0.041225)/3600) GC = Graphics Card. The production of Bitcoins will halt if there are no Graphics cards installed into the bitcoin farm, the time it will take to farm a bitcoin will decrease with every Graphics Card that is installed, so the more the merrier. You can a max of 50 Graphic Cards in a fully upgraded Bitcoin farm, although this is a very costly investment, if you are a committed player – it will pay off.

You can hold a maximum of 3 bitcoins in the farm before it shuts itself off. This means you will have to withdraw the farmed bitcoin before 3 has accumulated, to allow the farm to continue functioning.

The Gym

One of the newest addition to the Hideout is the gym and it brings new skill functions to allow for increased skill XP multipliers that you can’t gain from any other modules.

-> Between level 10-24 you get 0.6 Strength or Endurance skill points/ successful qte

-> Between level 25-50 you get you get 0.3 Strength or Endurance skill points/ successful qt

Conclusion

The Hideout is an essential part of Escape from Tarkov and is key for your overall progression in the game. With this guide, you’ve learned know what the hideout is, how to unlock all its modules, and what each of them does. Although you do not need to use the hideout to play EFT, it is a very nice addition to the game and a lot of players probably don’t realize what they are missing out on by not building the hideout modules.

If you take anything away from this guide it should be this; atleast get most of the hideout functions built to level 1. Most are achievable fairly easily by loot and money you’ll obtain as you play – The benefits you’ll get from these modules, including quest items, will be worth it!
