Crafting Items: What Counts as ‘Found in Raid’?

Crafted items are an essential element of Escape From Tarkov gameplay. They allow players to create unique and valuable items by combining various materials and resources. However, one question that often arises is whether crafted items count as found in raid or not. In this blog post, we will explore the mechanics of crafted items and whether or not they are considered found in raid.

Firstly, it is important to understand what the found in raid status means. This status is given to items that are found in a raid without being brought in by the player themselves. In other words, items that have the found in raid status must have spawned in the location or in the inventory of an AI or player scav. This status is important because it allows players to sell these items on the flea market, which is a crucial aspect of the game’s economy.

Now, let’s consider crafted items. When a player crafts an item in their hideout, they are essentially creating a new item from scratch. These items are not found in the raid and, therefore, do not have the found in raid status. This means that crafted items cannot be sold on the flea market, even if they are valuable and in high demand.

However, it is worth noting that crafted items can still be useful and profitable for players. They can be used for personal use or traded with other players through in-game trading channels. Additionally, some crafted items can be used as barter items to purchase valuable items from traders.

In summary, crafted items do not count as found in raid and cannot be sold on the flea market. Players sould keep this in mind when deciding what items to craft and how to use them. While they may not be as valuable as found in raid items, crafted items can still be useful and profitable in their own right. By understanding the mechanics of crafted items and the found in raid status, players can make informed decisions about their gameplay strategies and maximize their chances of success in Escape From Tarkov.

What Constitutes Found Items in a Raid?

In Tarkov, the “Found in raid” status is given to items that meet certain criteria. To be considered “found in raid,” an item must either have spawned on the location during the current raid, been obtained from a Scav (AI or player) during the raid, or be received as a reward for the successful completion of a quest.

Items that are produced in the Hideout, purchased from traders, or brought into the raid by a player do not qualify for the “Found in raid” status. Additionally, if an item is brought into the raid by a player and then dropped or placed in a container, it will lose its “Found in raid” status.

It’s important to note that the “Found in raid” status is significant becase it affects the way items can be used or sold. Items with this status can be used to complete quests and can also be sold on the flea market for a higher price than items without the status.

Does Bartering Count as Found in a Raid?

No, barter trade items do not count as Found In Raid (FIR) items in Escape from Tarkov. Only items that have been found in a raid and have not been transferred out of the raid by the player can be considered FIR. Barter items, on the other hand, are obtained through exchanging other items with traders or completing certain tasks, and do not have the FIR indicator. Additionally, barter trade items cannot be sold on the Flea Market, and the values listed for them represent the highest price they can be sold to a trader.

Does Finding Items in a Secure Container Count as a Raid Find?

Yes, items in a secure container do count as “Found in Raid” if they were obtained through a raid or looting in a PMC or Scav run. However, if a player dies durng a raid, even if they have items in their secure container, those items will lose their “Found in Raid” status. This means that the player will not be able to sell those items on the Flea Market, but they will still be able to keep them in their possession. It is important to note that any items brought into a raid by the player, or obtained through in-raid trades or bartering, will not count as “Found in Raid” and cannot be placed in the secure container.

Are Flea Market Items Discovered Through Raids?

No, Flea Market items are not considered to be “found in raid” in Escape from Tarkov. This means that if you purchase an item from the Flea Market, it will not retain its “found in raid” status, even if it was originally obtained that way. In order to maintain the “found in raid” status of an item, it must be found during a raid in the game. This status is important because it determines wheher or not the item can be sold on the Flea Market or traded with other players. Items that are not “found in raid” can still be used in gameplay, but they cannot be sold on the Flea Market and may be subject to certain restrictions and limitations.

Minimum Time Requirement for Raids to Not Count as Run Throughs

In order to avoid getting a “Run Through” status at the end of a raid in Escape from Tarkov, you need to meet one of two requirements. The first requirement is to gain at least 200 EXP during the raid, which can be achieved by killing or looting items in the game. The second requirement is to spend at least 7 minutes in the raid before extracting. If you meet either of these requirements, your raid will not count as a “Run Through” and you will be able to keep any loot you have acquired during the raid. It’s important to note that filing to meet either of these requirements will result in a “Run Through” status, which means that you will not receive any experience points, quests will not be completed, and you will not be able to keep any loot you have gathered. So, make sure to stay in the raid for at least 7 minutes or gain at least 200 EXP to avoid getting a “Run Through” status in Escape from Tarkov.

Do Raids Include Items From Traders?

No, items from traders are not considered as “found in raid” items. Found in raid items are items that have been obtained by a player through looting, quest rewards, or crafting, and have not been brought into the raid by the player temselves or purchased from traders. Items bought from traders will not have the “found in raid” tag, even if they are required for a quest or barter trade. However, it is important to note that barter trades can still be carried out using non-found in raid items, but only found in raid items will be auto-selected for the trade. Additionally, if an item is put up for sale on the Flea Market and expires or is removed, it will not lose its found in raid status.

Do Kappa Items Require Raids for Acquisition?

Yes, all Kappa items must be found in raid in order to complete the quest and obtain the Kappa container in Escape from Tarkov. This means that simply buying the items off the flea market or trading with other players will not count toards the quest. The items must be found in raid during a raid, either by looting them from a container or from a player’s inventory. It’s important to note that the found in raid status of an item will reset if it is brought into a raid by a player, so it’s important to either find the item yourself or have a trusted teammate give it to you during the raid.

Do Scav Case Items Count as Items Found in Raid?

Yes, all items obtained though the Scav Case module in the Hideout have the Found in Raid (FiR) status. This means that these items are considered “fresh” and have not been tampered with by players. These items can be used for various Tarkov quests that require FiR items, and they can also be sold on the flea market for a higher price due to their FiR status. Additionally, the FiR status of Scav Case items makes them highly valuable for players who are looking to progress through the game quickly and efficiently. So, in short, all Scav Case items in Escape from Tarkov count as Found in Raid.

Conclusion

In conclusion, crafted items play a crucial role in the gameplay of Escape from Tarkov. These items can be produced in the Hideout or acquired through various means such as completing quests or barter trades. One of the most important aspects of crafted items is the “Found in Raid” status, which is only given to items that are spawned on the location or in the Scavs inventory. This status is crucial for players to sell ther items on the Flea Market and earn a profit. It is important to note that barter trade items do not have the “Found in Raid” indicator and cannot be sold on the Flea Market. Crafting also allows players to customize their gameplay experience by creating items that suit their playstyle. Overall, crafted items are an integral part of Escape from Tarkov and add a layer of depth to the game.
