so I'm leaving for a cabin tomorrow through friday and I'm not gonna lie....kinda want to just stay here and play Tarkov all week.


So regarding the bitcoin mining...I saw where you need to start building up your hideout. Would you recommend just buying whatever I can to start leveling it up? I know some of the stuff like Endurance has to be leveled but that'll eventually level on its own. Also...yeah I wish I would have spent more on the extra stash space. I just did the one tier above base.

Haven't played this patch, but based on my experience from previous wipes:
Balance between hideout and questing/tasks (whatever you refer to them as). You badly need the xp and rep to get loyalty levels for easier access to gear at reasonable prices since the flea market will bleed you dry. Aside from that, focus on actually finding things and stuffing them in your container for upgrading the hideout. Some of that is admittedly easier if you know in advance what you need (CPU fans as an example).

You can also focus on tasks and just making money while buying what you need for the hideout, although that can get very, very expensive.

this article discusses on how to upgrade editions for the larger stash size. GamerRevolution

Yes, it’s possible to upgrade your Escape from Tarkov edition. Once logged into the website, you’ll be able to browse between any of the available upgrade packages. You’ll still need to pay the difference between your old and new versions, but you won’t miss out on any of the bonus items available in higher-tier bundles.


You can wait until they run a sale for a little better value

Thanks for the advice. The big issue I’m having right now is I’m afraid of selling loot because I’m not sure if I’ll need it or not(or lose it when I die )

I wanna say it’s still on sale for the next few days from Christmas. If not the sale just ended. I upgraded to the EOD edition within the first day of playing lmao.

Im about to craft a lucky scav box which will free up an assload of stash space.

So I might start just grinding out lucky scav boxes. I can buy the material on the market for about a 1-1.2 mil, then sell the lucky scav box for 2 mil 12 hours later.

Hmmmmm

Yeah it said like 25% off I think when I bought it a few days ago. I might go ahead and pay the difference of one or two tiers.

So can I not extil from railway as a PMC? Twice I had great loot and it wouldn’t let me exit.

Wiki says both PMC and scav can extil. Kinda pissed about it tbh.

Double tap O and it tells you where you can exfil.

Yeah I know about that but is the wiki wrong or is this something that it just depends on the lobby for where PMCs can exfil?

Never had an issue with scav runs.

Do it. There is a pretty decent learning curve but I feel like it’s not too bad to get the hang of.

Tonight has been hella frustrating... Can't seem to get any momentum or anything going, dying a bunch and losing gear
