Scav runs on customs. I avoid dorms and hit crackhouse, reshalas fortress, the building with the power switch, and all of the weapon crates. Pretty easy 350-500k per run.
How to guarantee profit in tarkov: 1) Scav run reserve for fat loots 2) Spend 15 minutes playing tetris because you are standard account pleb that does scav runs 3) rinse and repeat
If this anyone helps, if I want to make money, I do shoreline pmc runs, for the stashes and for farming Scavs, like Jesse said, learn a good route for any spawn at this map, you will find a TON of useful items for your hideout, for quests or to sell on the fleamarket, and the stashes are in 9 of 10 times unlooted, cause everyone is running to the resort. Make yourself comfortable with the locations in offline mode and then grind it like you are Tony Hawk!
Yeah run the edges of shoreline and hit everywhere apart from resort and its an easy run , plus night runs camp in the top of the wrecked boat road side end of scav island , iv been wrecking people in that spot they have no idea in the dark
Last wipe I literally just didn’t quest, stayed level 15 and bought all my kits off the flea. Making money was insanely easy on reserve and even easier after I got a RR. Two rat runs on reserve basically got me a full meta kit. This wipe is better for new players though, because you have to focus on surviving the raid to make your money.
bretert shit I only do my scav runs on Interchange and if you know where to look for loot you can easily make 500k-800k from one run. Only if you are lucky
My main strat is going in with a pm, spare mag, pst ammo, green helmet, the ear murdering headset and a scav backpack or similar size. I bring in every single high value key for reserve and just go directly for either armouries or marked rooms depending on distance. I make tons of money, while risking little. Most people don't pick up any of the stuff I bring in, so it almost all comes back as insurance if I die, and I do die, but once you get proficient in your routes, you can avoid most players. You can also just go for the pm kills, which feel amazing pulling off lmao
Interchange secret computer rooms and back of goshen. You can fill a backpack with everything that spawns back there and you don't often run into a ton of PMCs. If you are feeling cheeky, you can push up secret stairs to hit techlite late and pick up everything the early rush players leave behind.
46 million roubles, but I'm still here to support JessicaSam! P.S.- I have to disagree that it's never been easier to make money. Last wipe was definitely easier without the FIR requirement
I guess that is true. I just always think back to the days before the flea market and how hard it was to make money. But your right, last wipe when you could put everything up there was a bit easier.
I really need to follow your "come up" tip. It happens too many times where I finally feel like I've made it, with 40 mill across my account and I start wearing the best of the best, only to lose it. I feel like if you're gonna die, you're gonna die. Doesn't matter if you were wearing a trooper or a gen 4. I need to remember that meta gear doesn't necessarily make you better than the person that's going to kill you regardless because of positioning, game sense, or just better skill. Good vid.
Actually latiency plays a major factor in many games and fps are unfortunately filled with this. To me it happens so often that i see ppl and get shot in a second and downed.. It s super fast and this is typical of lagged broken tick rate. I hope they will improve tick rate. Itnot just that others are better than me
@@DNH17 agreed man. I die around walls behind cover all the time. I can deal with dying to players that are better than me or if I was out of position or something, but dying when the game works against you is just disheartening.
@@plaguepartyy it s generally in all games and wars. Even irl... Of u pay u win it s not a design issue somehow, i die also vecause in the open they aim on me in a matyer of second if what i see is true but what i see is surely slower not being on over 20 Mbps and not above 1 in upload. Plus the players are good. And i liken it
@@DNH17 I have 120 up 40 down so it's definitely not an issue on my end. the games just not as optimized as others. I don't get killed behind walls in other games.
Great video Jesse, but I feel like these videos don't cover the main key to making more money in Tarkov. In my opinion, after teaching, and watching tons of players, most players could be making waaay more money without changing anything really. You don't have to change your playstyle, map, loot runs, survival rate. The only thing you have to do is understand how, and what to loot. A lot of this comes down to knowing how much items sell for/cost, and understanding per slot value. I see tons of streamers, and players making poor decisions when looting that cost them lots of money in raids, and by simply understanding how/what to loot, most players would see a MASSIVE uptick in their ruble count. If anyone is interested in more details on this, let me know and I'd love to explain it more in depth.
Get nightvision, play night time, take it slow, watch your bank account and your survival rate climb and climb and climb. Playing at night with nvg is almost like playing another game. It's relaxing and far easier, instead of panic inducing and difficult.
Craft Powercords. Components are roughly 10-20k. 2 powercords makes wires. Sell 6 wires keep 2 of the 8. 30k Profit and wire to go into more production. Edit: Don't Lowball yourself on wites either. Keep it at a firm 10k-11k. Its tempting to drop it to 9k but it'll sell. They always sell.
Nudee runs are fun. Go in with nothing, learn where the gun spawns are and grab one, then go hunting for a basic Scav kit. Use the kit to play as though you were a tagged Scav. You'll find yourself playing a lot more interesting and wacky without the feeling you are gunna lose everything. You came in with nothing, who cares if you die.
I had lost everything in tarkov sold everything's because i kept losing everything but i have every key for interchange, i went in with just my RR and ran to all the places, looked around for dead pmc and scavs for weapons then loot the good shit put in my gamma and i make profit 100% of the time with 0 risk
My experience is different in the Oceania region or I get lucky. My Nudee loot runs are 2/3 with the failure being unable to acquire a gun, standard combat, or 1 tapped by an AI hiding in a bush.
Hey jesse love the video, I also run Troopers/gen4 mob/ or like a good lvl 4 or 5 rig because most of those mid tier armors actually repair really well so even if it gets messed up i usually grab a more durability armor off a dead player. Chuck my insured stuff in like a few bushes spread out and i usually if not always make huge money from insurance cheese becuase my whole kit is profit minus ammo and meds
Really enjoy this dude’s attitude and videos personality alone is why I come back let alone the important info thanks man helps me not get discouraged in the game
Something that wasn't covered in the crafting section, and something I feel a lot of players don't understand, is that just because you found something in raid doesn't make it free, and doesn't make crafts profitable. If you have FIR metal scissors, that's still 40k you're investing into your craft because that's how much they can be sold for on the market. Crafting may not provide the best value for that item, and selling it on the flea might be the most profitable way to use that item. For a simple example (not an actual craft, but using this ex. for simplicity. Let's say 2 metal scissors make a blue fuel container. Metal scissors go for 40k on the market, and blue fuel goes for 60k. So crafting that blue fuel, would actually lose you money in comparison to selling the scissors on the market. 40k + 40k = 80k VS 60k Like I said, this is not an actual example, but just wanted something simple to explain the concept. There are profitable crafts, but because of the player driven market, most crafts sell for about the same as the ingredients needed. So find a couple that profit, and stick with those. Don't waste all your time clicking around in the market/hideout to craft 2 mag boxes, so you can then craft a scav box. This just ends up with roughly the same amount of profit, and more time in the hideout, which means less raids. Less raids = Less Loot = Less Rubles. I hope I did a good job explaining this, let me know if I did, or if it doesn't make sense, or if you disagree.
It'd be nice if you used an actual example to present your point. I tend to just sell everything on the flea and only use the stuff I've gamma'd for the hideout. All of the expensive items that you can craft in the hideout cost pretty much the same as the components used to make them with very few exceptions like some of the highly desirable ammo (like 7.62 BP). As mentioned almost all the crafts in the hideout are (unfortunately) redundant because it costs the same to craft the item that it is to just buy off the flea. Why wait 3 hours crafting something when you can just buy it off the flea instantly for literally the same price? Would making the consumables you make in the hideout (ammo, meds etc) not found in raid when the craft is complete make the game better? Sure it would literally skyrock the necessary components, but wouldn't finding something like green gunpower in raid make finding the item really cool and special? Like now you can finally use that sweet sweet ammo for your favorite ak? It would also make high tier ammo rarer (obviously) and solve alot of the complaints from the community regarding how armor is literally useless. I feel like the hideout BSG has created is being criminally underutilized and could be a tool to fix the many issues this game has with its economy, gear and generally how abundant overpowered items are?
@@pajama5364 it is more profitable to sell two chocolates on the market than it is to craft a single sugar, then sell that (due to flea taxes). Most crafts are not profitable or unprofitable, and just waste time. There are good ones like the 762 BP you mentioned above. Removing the FIR tag to crafted items would probably result in making the hideout even more underutilized. I feel that most crafts in the hideout, are then sold for money, not use in raid. Obviously some things are used in raid, but most are just a few clicks to make that ruble count go up. I don't think the hideout can fix the issues with the oversaturation of gear, and probably would either not effect it, or make it worse. If they want to make armor useful again, then all high tier ammos should behave like 7N31 does on the market. Very limited supply from traders, no crafts, and scarcity of FIR rounds. Right now it is just too cheap to run 40+ pen ammo. Some of the cheaper high pen ammos (M80, 855a1, 762 BP) need to be nerfed in pen value, or price. Even then I don't know if that would solve that issue, its just what came to mind first. I really don't know the best way to fix this issue, and that's a whole other can of worms.
@@kadenkaden4 The only problem in the current state of the game regarding the hide out is that the only reason something is crafted is because you want to turn the non fir item into something that you can sell on the flea for a profit. Almost all the craftables are a waste of time. As you mentioned you said you wanted high tier ammo to be like 7n31. I can't see how the hideout can't have a hand in making ammo rarer, if 7.62 BP is locked behind 2 hours for 120 rounds wouldnt you have greatly limited the amount that you can use in a day? (BP spawns on raiders but the point still stands) I also don't want a situation where I can't run literally any gun with decent ammo despite having the resources for it. So I'm literally forced to run amkms with ps or something because I'm waiting another half an hour for the last batch of BP to finish. On a side note some of the ammo for what they do is actually insane, 55a1 is 300 rubles a round from traders and 995 is 1700 for ever so slightly better stats. M80 is actually a steal as is M62, M61 being hella expensive in comparison. The game needs a balance patch, you can't just solve everything by making it more expensive. The gl is a prime example of this. Even at 350k a shot its *still* worth it to run if you use it smart and kill the right person. It's rediculous how naked gl labs is unironically a good strategy. I know bsg are nerfing it but it's honestly a wonder how it got through testing in the state it released in.
this wipe has been brutal i went from having a steady 50m to being broke all the time after they made the found in raid changes. also being a solo player can be tough at times.
Things to consider from caches: Yes you can get a Slick armor from these. I just got the new tan one and sold it for 600k. Was a profitable scav run cache. You can as well get Blue Fuel jerrycan (200k), normal metallic fuel jerrycan (360k), and tetriz (80k dropped from 400k due to barter trade changes).
Avoiding PvP is the easiest and most difficult part of Tarkov. It's easy, because you _can_ just hide in a bush all raid, but that's no fun. And so it's when you emerge from that bush that avoiding PvP becomes hard.
Stashes are really good now with the helmets. I’ve made an easy 200k just by finding a helmet and 3 chops on a scav run not to mention the SSDs and high end ammo. I usually pay for my raids with a scav run looting stashes.
I have been doing safe runs lately on customs. Not only have they been fun raids, but I've made a good amount of money as well! usually sprinkle a PMC kill, a reshala encounter in there and make out with a full backpack almost every raid. Running lvl 4 armored rigs and leftover ulachs as well so if i do die, not much lost.
id love to pvp but sadly if youre solo unless your life is devoted to the game its so hard when I kill one gear chad then 2 of his buddies come to kill me.
For me... Only build Green gunpowder! Cost you 25k and you can sell it for 70K every 1,5 hours and scav case for 7k... Bitcoins also... Approx 1 Million a day only with my hideout and i really need it cause i Die so much
Just scav run on interchange, everytime i spawn there, there is only 10-15 minutes left so there aren't many PMC's and you can find alot of motors and tubes that cost quite a lot and if you're lucky you can loot dead PMC's in techlight, they would most likely still have some gear left, and also loot power station and kill some scavs and take their loot if you want to, you can spawn very close to extracts, and if you're gonna go to railway, then make sure you loot the jacket in the small cabin, i found 3 factory keys there but you probably won't believe me, it can be empty and it can have rare items in it, also you can find alot of fuel in interchange and alot of hand drills which cost a lot, but thats just my opinion if you think what you're doing now is right, then I wont disturb your ways
Just something I've learned a lot this wipe. A lot of times it's not just the quality of the item but the quantity that matters as well. Even if you find 10 items and they are all only worth 10k roubles a piece thats still 100k roubles
got to level 26 last wipe. just picked up tarkov again a couple days ago. made it to level 5 in a couple raids. id rather just load in offline and shoot some scavs rather than deal with all the sweaty boys and learning customs cause i got a bunch of quests to do
Best advice I can give new players that struggle is to scav run on Reserve exclusively - unless you want to learn a new map. My first run there I extracted with 700-800k gear worth of loot without firing a shot within 7 minutes. A squad got massacred in White pawn building and some boss minions and Ive been scavving there ever since. Also the extracts are pretty central to the map so you dont have to run that far to get out which I really like. Shoreline is decent but I hate the distance sometimes, especially if you die towards the end of your run. Its painfull. Once you learn Reserve's extracts and general layout and you still cant make money I think you might have to reconsider playing this game since its that easy tbh.
Well 995 does like 50 damage per hit I think where cheaper variants (which scavs use) do 70 or even 80 per hit. That's on unarmoured body. Its better to wear crappy armour to at least protect you from accidental scav hits
Thanks for a great video. Keep it up, buddy! Have you made a tutorial as good as this for completely new players. "Escape from Tarkov" is a survival game with an important micromanagement, as when I played the first two weeks, I felt more or less lost equallly like : 1) this is cool game. It is the first computer game I have tried in 20 years of gaming, which actually takes firearms combat "serious". What I mean is; even in Beta, "Tarkov" is great, cause it makes you feel like a real merch in a abandoned town. Right of the bat I loved that you can down ANYONE with one bullet between the eyes. You, me, everyone! 2) A lot of PMCs are level 30-45! They have been playing for years. I have to learn by doing. 3) This is a great game. Not cause of awesome graphics, not because it is "Battle Royal". BUT 3) "Tarkov" is a longter,m and very detailed and rich in details (weapons, armour, ammo etc.) - but like in real war: survival before all other priorities. Thanks again!
A lot of miss information as far as the hideout goes: Workbench - wires are the most reliable way of making money, it's not the highest profit, but it's the most reliable (ie prices are most consistent) and very close to max profit. Lavatory - there's nothing which is reliable enough to be worth the risk, not to mention little profit. The exception here is the scav box, which, depending on the current market price, you are going to be better off selling to jaeger or ragman (don't recall which; don't forget to take into account the market fee). DO NOT CRAFT COCKTAIL FOR PROFIT unless you have non found in raid suger. You are better off either just selling the purified water or crafting 8 aqua bottles (which sell for 14-15k each). Med station - early wipe salewa, and later pile of meds are best bang for your buck, but profit is fairly low so I wouldn't bother.
The stashes are my fave way to make money. Knowledge is power. Also are they any keys anymore besides keycards that are worth 1mil nowadays? I think all the prices simmered down.
A ton of crafts are like this, and honestly only a handful of crafts are actually worth your time. It is key to understand that ingredients, especially if FIR, are still money that you're investing. Finding a two chocolates in raid does not make them free, that's still 40k per chocolate your investing since you could just sell them on the market.
Bruh can you please do a top 5 tips to spend money. I have so much god damn money and nothing to spend it on. What is the most fun way to spend money? I was thinking just getting some GL's and carpet bombing some raids 😁
I try to tell people I play with, and sometimes to no avail... "(surviving is the number 1 most important thing you do every time you load into a map"). So glad you said it Jesse! If you die, you are assured of losing money and since time is money in Tarkov, even the guys running hatchets are losing money when they die. They might still profit, but they are losing money nonetheless with the exception of items like bit coins that one sells to traders for max profit anyway. From Overwatch to LoL to CSGO to EFT... dying is the worst thing you do.
@@kadenkaden4 correct. When I say even the guys with hatchets are losing money when they die, its because they are losing the ability to take the product to the highest profitable market, thereby losing money in that specific transaction. Of course they are still profiting, but they are losing max profitability (thereby losing money). Hope that clears up my statement
Got into a fight at Customs, got 2 blacked out limbs and was out geared. Left the fight, healed and went on to finish 3 quests and find a flash drive I need. Made about $200k from loot and another $300k from selling quest rewards. Surviving is the #1 way to make money.
My favorite way is running to the Interchange Switching Station really good way of making money run their grab everything kill the Scavs and loot them or any PMC’s make at least 200-800k per run maybe it depends on what the flea market demands
Making money is easy. If you understand that pvp'ing will get you killed even if you are good statistically as there is simply too many at the same time. So if you go in to make money then you mindset has to be set on survival & avoid conflict. Map knowledge is key of cause, once you know the pvp patterns you should also know how to avoid them. Playing scav helps if you a new player & even more if you are experience. if you are having particular troubles still then try a night raid on one of the larger maps, as quite often you get a starry sky and you are experienced with the map layout you can still navigate using natural structure waypoints even thou you are virtually blindfolded.
Crafting mag boxes is literally pissing money into the ground, you lose 120k buying the mats, crafting it and selling it on flea (basically you'll pay 260k making it and only sells for 140-50) and it's one of the worst things to craft even if you find most of the things in raid. Some of the best hideout crafts for profit margin turn over include: 2x red gunpowder, green filters from gas masks, wires from cords and ap 6.3 and BP 7.62
@@whyohwhy7308 so not everyone has real life friends playing the game. In addition to that, not everybody wants to play a high stress, gear on the line, sweaty shit fest like Tarkov with strangers. You know how hard it would be to grit your teeth and be cordial with a stranger you met on discord when they get you killed and you lose your 800k+ kit? At least if a friend gets me killed I can speak my mind without feeling bad.
@@phant0mdummy Don't blame your death on others honestly unless it's just obviously their fault. You choose to rush a group of other players like Leroy Jenkins imagining 1. You come out the hero like Rambo or 2. The random dude you met on discord is gonna bail you both out of that moment... that's on you bud. I always play with guys on Discord like that. We will be playing night time and they decide to disappear in the darkness to chase the silhouette of another player and get blasted in the face cause obviously that other player is prepared when he hears them full sprinting towards them. Then I get blamed cause I don't properly have them covered. Like bro you made that by the seat decision... on the fly.. by yourself. Not saying you yourself are actually like this but part of the game is dying. Not to mention they also wipe. Why get bent out of shape over it?
Heyo. New Tarkov player here. Has anyone have problems with cheaters? Since I’ve started, 2 weeks ago, I’ve ran into 3 players I suspect cheating. First encounter, couldn’t hit the player, 15 feet in front of me. Just stood there pressing Q and E, taunting. No gear. Just a pistol. Then would get one shotted in the head. TODAY, for my third encounter, second “Chad Run”, (1.5 million in gear), got one shotted the same way with my first encounter. However, could not left click to shoot, would eventually shoot my whole clip. Hope one of you read my experience. Would love to know your thoughts.
Why tha hell all eft players treat their found in raid items something that doesnt have price nuts and bolts sell well and have a value, in other words if you find 10 items that are found in raid that cost 200k why would you waste time and money crafting something that will be up for sale for 150k, 90 percent of crafts there will cost more than item will cost on flea crafting comes in handy for quest items....
Tbh i make most of my money from my scav, for whatever reason my scav survival rate is like 50% while my pmc survival rate is like barely 20% lol by the end of many of my scav runs i have better gear than i ever ran on my pmc. Maybe i should just wait in a bush for 20 mins as a pmc and pretend that im scaving if it works so well xd
It would work! This is because PMC spawns are predictable, and more experienced players know where other players spawn, and where they're likely to go. I wouldn't recommend this strategy, but instead would recommend learning the player spawns to help increase your survival rate. The first 5-10 minutes of a raid is the most dangerous as a PMC, and understanding when/where other players will be will increase your survival rate.
How to win easy PVP with shotguns and SMGs? Leg meta. 590A1 is ₽30,000 from Jaeger level 1 and even with 7.5mm buckshot from prapor at level 1 you can 2 shot juiced Chads.

play as scav everytime it comes up. And try to do some pvp with it. You need to get used to gun fights, and how they work. If you do not learn how to pvp, you'll never be good at the game. Something most newbies do is to try to rat too much in order to make money, hence by trying to avoid an integral part of the game in order to make money, they lose their opportunity to build that skillset. By playing scavs you dont need to worry about your gear, you start to work out how maps work, and learn how to setup an ambush because you'll never win in a straight fight with scav gear. Sound is the most important thing in the game, get a headset if you dont own it. And try to listen often, especially when you are entering a building. Dont stand out in the open but try to listen once you're secure. Learn ammo pen values and what armors look like, after that rest just comes with experience. For cheap weapons, for full auto i suggest mdr. You dont need anything to mod it with, its good to go for 50k, althuogh i usually at least put magpul mlok grip they are like 8k. I dont even put optics sometimes, just buy some ironsights. Also Vepr-209 with the new .366 AP is probably the cheapest most effective semi-auto in the game atm. That round will 1-hit kill low armored players. 90 flesh dmg + 42 pen means, it goes through budget armor ppl run which is lvl4. Gun itself goes for sub 20k, and you can even add suppressor for 15k. Ppl will also leave that gun alone because it's a fucking vpo-209, meaning it comes to you with insurance always. Full mag with .366AP costs about 20k, so 2-3 of them should be more than enough. Rest of the ammo, keep it in gamma. Another good insurance fraud weapon is MP153 with the stock adapter, which turns the gun into 7x2 slot gun, which means noone will pick that up, and use it with magnum buckshot + 7/8 round mags. It deals 50x8 damage so, will 1shot heads and 2 shot geared people in legs/arms in close quarters. Very effective close range. Also, dont buy helmets unless you find them, at this point in wipe anything other than Altyn is useless against most players, you mostly use them for ricochet chance which is already too low. Faceshield helmets are for the factory or for the rich to run. Buy comtacs of your choise always, and full face mask if possible to hide you(shemagh from rag3 is good). Buy cheap lvl4 armors if you can, otherwise use Zhuk-lvl3. Noone takes it and it has very good repairability. Keep Goldstar/Ibuprofin in gamma, and pop one before entering possibly dangerous area. Thats all that comes to mind, ways to cut costs.
@@samd6778 Np dude. There's also this guide to armors which i like. He explains how armors work, and what armors are the most likely to last longer. You need to understand ammo pen values and their relationship to armor. They determine a great deal, your chances in a straight firefight. Gunfights are about forcing the enemy to fight you where you are strongest and where they are weakest, good players know this and are harder to bait, but you need to know when you should run instead of fight or when to press on. Also, dont mod the guns much, unless you survive a raid with them, thats a good habit to have generally for budget. Supressor is very valuable if you can afford it but in general they are rather expensive. Vpo-209 supp is very cheap as ive said so always run that gun with it, but there's also SOCOM556-RC2 supressor for 556guns, with the muzzle attachment, it comes up to 35-40k but adds extra 7% recoil reduction, which is substantial for a mod, but since its also a supressor, that makes it a best in-slot mod. It is a hefty expense but definately helps, so only buy it if you survive a raid and made some money. If your bank is low though nvm. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mGoj5_mKno0.html
dandini0698 yeah I finally started to look into armor pen values and what they mean and it has changed the game a lot. I also found a good money run on shoreline this morning and made a good 500k in about 3 raids so it’s looking up! If you want to play sometime I’m on every weekend 👍🏻
EOD is a waste of money especially now with the singleplayer mods where you get eod and kappa for free, a fully customizable singleplayer game where everything can be changed to your desire.
Not really helping. You go to the hideout and you say buy this do that, basically get everything from the hideout.... uuuh what... I'm new nothing is unlocked and everything cost a LOT! Did 3 rounds, lost almost all my guns from start. Should I use my money to buy guns or do scav every 20 minutes or use insurance ..... dying in this game is troublesome and cost money. 1000 is even a lot You talking about 100000000 like it's nothing.
