Check item values in a keystroke, fire gamma presets on a hotkey, build a quest hand-in shopping list, and read ammo penetration at a glance — plus an in-raid overlay so you never alt-tab. One lightweight tray app.
Gamma, brightness, contrast, warmth and dim presets — per monitor, each with its own hotkey. Nudge gamma mid-raid with Num +/Num − when you push a dark building. Smooth fade transitions.
Hit F8 and a draggable control panel appears over the game — change any setting without alt-tabbing. Run borderless/windowed. A/B preset cycling on F9.
One box on F10 searches presets, items, quests, maps and bosses at once. Pin ★ favorites for zero-typing lookups. $item for prices only, #item for how many you need.
Live flea price, best trader sell, 24h low/high, a 7-day price chart, value per slot, and barter/craft sources — on every item card.
Every boss profiled: HP per body part on a Tarkov-style body outline, spawn maps with location percentages, guard escorts, and their typical gear.
Browse 500+ quests by trader with requires/unlocks chains and a dependency tree. Mark quests active or done (done cascades through all prerequisites) and get a shopping list of every hand-in item you still need — FIR flagged.
All 195 rounds with penetration, damage, frag chance and muzzle velocity — plus armor-class blocks showing exactly what each round pierces.
Per-level upgrade requirements for all 26 stations, and every item card tells you if (and where) it's needed for a hideout upgrade before you sell it.
The app checks for new versions on launch and installs them with one click. New features and fixes land without re-downloading anything manually.

Grab EFTHelper.zip (~16 MB). No installer, no Python, no dependencies.
Right-click the zip → Extract All…. Don't run it from inside the zip preview.
Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC" — that's because the app isn't code-signed (normal for free indie tools). Click More info → Run anyway.
The app lives in your system tray (gold reticle icon by the clock). Double-click to open, right-click for quick actions. The HOME tab has a full guide.
In EFT: Settings → Graphics → Screen mode → Borderless. Exclusive fullscreen resets gamma and blocks overlays.
EFT Helper is free and always will be — no ads, no accounts, no paywalled features. If it saved your raid (or your hideout budget), you can fuel future updates with a coffee.
