My friend and I had an absolutely bonkers run on Customs but sadly didn't make it out with anything. Probably for the best - I was out of AK ammo with ten minutes to go, and if I'd actually escaped with that many kills on my M9A3 I would have risked becoming a fan of Italian soccer.

Okay, so I love this patch. The Sorting Table added to post-Scav inventory management helps a ton, since you can finally disassemble weapons before putting them into stash. So does the fact that a succesful scav extract will net you a 0.01 point with Fence! No killing neccessary!

tbh there should be a small bit of rep gain - maybe 0.01 - for just getting out of the raid without doing anything negative. at least those boring quick loot runs wouldn't feel so unproductive.

The first few times do but it quickly reaches diminishing returns down to 0.01 per v-ex.

95% of the community there are people who literally only use their scav runs to interact with the game because they are completely trash.

A second one.

Seriously, there's so much stuff you need for quests, upgrades and trades later that it's totally worth it to get a second junk case.

You can leave and come back in that minute. Hide in a bush nearby. Just don't misjudge the time so you walk up to the car, to see it leave right in front of you.

EDIT- Also preasing O will give you the countdown to when it leaves.

You just need to be next to it when the timer ticks to 0. I usually run a good distance away and watch the countdown under extracts until there's about 10 seconds left then head back to it.

Those 60 seconds can be used to throw any spare grenades you still have left. It deters others _and_ levels your PMC.

Epsilon is unlocked by finishing the punisher quest line which unlocks in the mid 20s. Not sure what level the last quest requires but I'm only 28 and have part 4 mostly done.

E: checked the wiki, the level requirement is even lower than I thought. Lvl 21 for punisher part 6.

This ain't my first rodeo, I've got an entire Blackrock rig full of sugar just waiting for my still to come online. :v:

It was 400k worth of canned fish, juice, and sodas I decided I really didn't need now that I can go fill up instantly in a single Goshan scav run if I actually need any of that.

The shelves to the far left as you enter from the registers are chock-full of Tarcola, Tushonka both large and small, and all sorts of other foods now. If I’m doing a grocery run I’ll easily leave with a bag full of stuff if no one else has hit it yet.

For me the annoying part was Hot Rods. Those are one of the things that doesn’t regularly spawn there so I had to scour the other shelves/offices around there to find them.

Apparently the food court in Interchange is also a good place for Tarcola, I spawned up there, found a bunch of sodas on tables including a Tarcola and got the gently caress out ASAP. Now I've got my food case.

I found a lot of my hot rods in Interchange ground caches and in reserve food crates, I was lousy with them for a long time.

You can get most of a Holodilnick in a single Goshan run if nobody else has been back there. You'll just have to source the Hot Rods elsewhere.
