Gives me a real Stalker Pripyat vibes. This would be the best way to introduce the cultist to the game IMO.

New map look great. Makes me want to try something other than customs since it’s all I’ve played since starting a few weeks ago lol

Since slowing down and deliberately gathering intel before plodding thru the bushes my success is going thru the roof. Knowledge of Pmc spawns and general loot locales has revealed obvious paths through the map where players will more than likely show up if I haven’t spotted them right away. I can also tell where people are based on gunfire direction and volume, which I now move towards instead of shying away.

I finally feel like I’m successfully hunting the most dangerous game: man!

Urban legend. I left mine running stream muted and chrome minimized while I was at work and got drops all day.

Apparently the reason some people might not be getting drops is only certain streamers are having drops enabled each day?

Just look for the ones with "drops" in their stream title. There's always at least three going that I've seen. They're not hard to find.

eh I don't think you can count market price anymore since you can't sell your allotment to anyone else

if you're actually combining 2k bullets with a base PP-19 and a PACA I've got to question how you're allocating resources (even if you're doing Punisher part 5 or w/e)

"Delivery from the Past" is really killing me. I can manage to get the document case out of Customs about 50% of the time, but I can't even make it to the room that I'm meant to place it in Factory.

I know there's a seperate quest item stash in your inventory, but can you have multiples of a quest item? So, could I for example farm about 5 document cases so I could just then do a bunch of runs on Factory without having to go back and forth?

honestly, run it with a squad unless you are doing it solo for machismo points. if you have a 4 goon escort, only 1 PMC will spawn, and you should be able to sprint there before any scavs pop up.

once you drop it, you can extract literally anytime. even if you die after dropping it.

Playing in a group doesn't really appeal to me, I do prefer the idea of completing the challenges solo. I think it's masochism rather than machismo, though. And yeah, I know about the last part; I'm trying to just get to the room and drop it, but can't even manage that. I'll continue to plug away, I was just wondering about the idea of building up a stock of items as I think I could change the rhythm up a bit. I quite enjoy Customs runs, so I can add grabbing the docs case as a part of those without it being the overall aim. Then when I've got enough I can take a few runs at Factory.

If you spawn in the closest downstairs spawn, just run up and do it. I got it first time. If you spawn further away just play it like a normal factory run

Yeah this is pretty much what I'm hoping for at this point. If I can queue up a bunch of Factory raids I might get lucky and get the spawn right by it.

Speaking of factory, lately my buddies and I have been getting 5 of us and going in with just pistols. Killing scavs and the single solo pmc. It’s crazy fun, low cost and super fast.
Occasionally it leads to slapstick when a geared pmc shows up and wrecks us, but it doesn’t matter since a pistol and ammo costs 20k.

if you spawn in one of the closed off spawns, crouch in a corner, turn on youtube and afk until you stop hearing guns that sound like pmcs. sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.

Keytool drop. I recently bought a Documents case which has been working fine for me so far with a gamma. I'm level 26 and have been aggressively doing gunsmith quests and leveling hideout so I only have like 700k roubles. Should I sell keytool? Do they go down in price throughout the wipe like most items?

You can't sell drops on the Flea because they're not FIR, so you're only going to get the Therapist price for it, and unless you get really lucky the flea price will never really go below that.
