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.
EFT Helper 2.0 groups its tools the way you actually play: what you touch mid-raid, the intel you check between raids, and the long game. Completely redesigned, same lightweight tray app.
Mission control: what’s applied to your display, whether Tarkov is running, one-tap preset and overlay actions, your favorites watchlist, quest shopping list and every hotkey — all on one screen.
Gamma, brightness, contrast, warmth and dim presets — per monitor, each with its own customizable hotkey. Quick-switch between two presets on one key, nudge gamma with Num +/Num − when you push a dark building, and auto-apply when the game gains focus.
Hit F8 (or your own key) and a sleek draggable panel appears over the game — live sliders for every setting, preset chips, and a save-to-preset button. Adjustable transparency. Never alt-tab for gamma again.
One box on F10 searches presets, items and quests. Items open a full card in-game: price trend chart, best sell, barters, quest & hideout needs. Quests show objectives and a wiki guide — and you can mark them tracked or done right from search.
Every hotkey is fully customizable — presets, overlay, search, cycling, reset, nudge. Optionally gate them to fire only while Tarkov is focused, so they never touch your desktop.
Live flea price, best trader sell, 24h/7d trend chart, and everything an item is for — quest hand-ins, hideout upgrades, barters that use it, and how to obtain it. Pin ★ favorites for instant lookups.
All 195 rounds with big, readable pen/damage stats, armor-class blocks showing what each round pierces, and honest flags — no-flea, craft-only, trader, barter. Pin your favorite calibers to the top.
Every boss profiled: HP on a body-part visual, spawn maps with percentages, guards and gear — plus which rounds one-tap a head or thorax, filtered by your pinned calibers.
Player counts, raid timers and boss spawn odds for every map, with one click out to a full interactive map when you need the details.
500+ quests by trader with requires/unlocks chains. Track what you’re running, mark quests done (prerequisites cascade automatically), and get a shopping list of every hand-in item you still owe — FIR flagged. Community-wiki guides load right on the quest card.
Per-level upgrade requirements for all 26 stations — and every item card warns you if something is needed for a hideout upgrade before you vendor it.
The app checks for new versions on launch and installs them in one click. New features land without re-downloading anything.
The feature-request and bug board from this site lives inside the app too — same board, synced both ways. Post from the app, vote from the site, or vice versa.
Export your whole setup — presets, hotkeys, favorites, quest progress — to a single file, and restore it on a new PC. Zero telemetry either way; nothing ever leaves your machine.

Grab EFTHelperSetup.exe (~24 MB). No Python, no dependencies — and it installs per-user, so no admin prompt.
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.
