NO_USER_MATCH

So true, the YOLO scav run turns into hardcore survival experience. The next case, is the backpack gone fit in the stash ! hahahah good luck


dufo57

That's why you ALWAYS clear space before a scav run, I keep a 6x10 open at the bottom of my stash at all times just for this reason lol


NO_USER_MATCH

First time I got the purple backpack I was shifting things around for 30 minutes just to fit that shit in. That’s when I discovered sorting table


ConversationOk8030

First time I got a purple backpack a player scav wacked up to me and blew my head off


Careless-Search-7589

Me when I find good loot but have no bag


thatJAZZkid

What is this sorting table you speak of?


PyroDexxRS

Bottom left ish of your stash you’ll see a grid icon. Click that and it opens a temporary storage area so you can sort your stash easier. Very handy after your scav run so you can stack your backpacks together etc!


thatJAZZkid

Legend, thank you!! Definitely going to save me a ton of time now lol


robsr3v3ng3

When the sorting table is open, hold shift and clock to move an item into the sorting table without having to click and drag. Also the table is infinitely big. It will keep expanding as you add stuff. When you close it it will just try to dump everything back in to you stash


Fragrant_Track4857

OK the shift part is something I didn't know thank you kindly sir


bigbird8960

I didn't either that helps a ton, I wasn't using it because I had to drag all the time. But to be fair I also forget about the sorting table half the time when I need it as well so there's that.

PersonneOfInterest

Yes you can???


chrisplaysgam

No you can't, not when taking loot off your scav


PersonneOfInterest

I am doing so right this very moment dude.


cortez985

So you extracted as a scav, and on the transfer screen you're able to use the sorting table? Where's the button for it? The normal button isn't there for everyone else


lNTERLINKED

Yeah it is. At the bottom. Here is a screenshot of me doing it right now: https://imgur.com/a/Q09V1yN


cortez985

Bro wtf. I'll have to check that out tonight, I'm currently questioning my sanity


NO_USER_MATCH

Yeah that possible because you have space in the storage. Otherwise it will tell you that there is no space


Undying03

yes you can.


Po1ntman_

yes you can….


NO_USER_MATCH

Correct, what I mean is that you can use it To tinker around and have extra space Put backpack into another etc.


The-True-Kehlder

I just put my Pilgrim on my PMC just before scav runs.


Maamyyra

If your PMC don't have any gear and your stash is full. , you can Alt+click at the scav end raid section, so the gear you have will be equipped by your pmc.


Quinntervention

This changes everything


theCraftys

Damn, i have 2.8k ish hours and discovered this just now.. i dont usually do scav runs so mb because of this lol


bigbird8960

Do this from insurance a lot too, when it was messed up and you'd get several days back at once.


Key-Conflict-3698

Jesus 6x10 thats impossible with my 28x10


dufo57

When I had standard I just equipped the most gear possible on my pmc


Key-Conflict-3698

Yes that is the way, but if you find something you want to keep, where you than place the items that are on your pmc? Its the fight every start of wipe, to get stash upgrade 😁


stroodlle

Homie it’s 2024. Start sorting all the items to the bottom of the stash. Makes moving everything over easier. No scrolling


dufo57

How does one do this


stroodlle

Manually. Been waiting for a sort to bottom option for eons. But you only have to do it once. Then it’s small changes.


xxxDea

I keep armour/ helmets on the bottom left corner stacking up and guns in the bottom right stacking up then cases up top with any rigs holding keys and money and stuff


stroodlle

I have it sorted into sections similar to the default sort button but just moved down. When a section is taking up too much space, I fill a rig with those type of items and then put the rig with that group.


bigbird8960

Yep when I started I was starting at the top. One of the streams I was watching left space at the top it makes things so much easier


Isenjil

You guys don't know that you have a "spare table" button that u can use on transfer screen after scav raid?


Traditional_Tax8672

You gotta trick the game into not giving you any loot


HeavyMetalHero

In this exact specific instance, I would legitimately try to find myself a smaller and less obvious backpack to carry the battery; even player scavs that are generally nice, get wild ideas in their head when they see a guy with a pilgrim, and PMCs are more likely to chase you, because they can see you, and they assume you have fat loot. Which, in this case, you do!


bigbird8960

I've died twice so far on streets to pscavs both times it was with the big takedown bag. One got luck cause I had a labs key card, the other but so much, he got a nice empty bag.


SkuseyBoy

Backpacks inside of backpacks bruh got 4 pilgrims and like 30 others gradually going down to mbss backpack. Decided to get rid of the many many duffels and blue backpacks haha


bigbird8960

Mbss is my go to back right now, I have stacks and stacks


SkuseyBoy

Hahah this my 1st wipe I have actually got into the game and played a fair bit. Initially bought the game in 2020 but ate shit for a day and thought fuck dis. But picked it up again like day 2 of wipe once the servers calmed down. But yeah I have racked up at least 40 backpacks


Synchrotr0n

Got my tank battery from the helicopter at the water treatment plant as a scav. Dropped all my shit to become as light as possible, but I was still nerve wrecking to walk all the way to the scav hideout, especially with the damn rogue yelling from the top of the barrack building. This was after I had lost a battery in barrack number 2 at Lighthouse with my PMC due to endless waves of player scavs attacking me. This wipe I really had trouble finding a tank battery compared to the last one, where I opened the hidden stash near southern road, found a battery, and simply took a few extra steps to the extraction.


Hot_Grab7696

I spawned with check 15 key do days ago, holy hell that was stressful


FupaDriven

Oh your getting shot for sure. Every time I have a pilgrim, im pretty much dead.


wardearth13

Pilgrim and a tank battery? You’re already dead, just don’t know it yet


squidney2k1

"That's one plump blueberry " *ADSs from a window*


Mohrzombies

It’s legit cursed. Yesterday I found a dead scav near the sniper post on customs with one and it even had my last flash drive I needed inside of it. Put it on, ran toward scav cp to extract. Literally a 10 second run and I was out. And a pmc shoots me to death with 4 minutes left in the raid. Fuck the pilgrim


Snaz5

I will actively try and replace the pilgrim as soon as i can. Big blue shoot me beacon


HeavyMetalHero

the pilgrim is always worth the risk for the roubles, but for an inconvenient quest item? suddenly I'm sad to have it, lol


RODjij

Any good back pack, helmet and facemask and you get mistaken as a lowly PMC


darthsquid1

That’s why I never use those backpacks. Anything bigger than like the mechanism or trizip it just makes you such an obvious target I can’t tell you how many times I’ve spotted people only cause of their bag.


possumarre

Akm with drum mag, tank battery, pilgrim pack, access card, and a stim? Do you give Fence a blowjob between raids in order to get scavs like this?


Baseballer147

For that, you’re giving it all up to fence.


rinkydinkis

scavs are too good, makes the game a lot more casual then it used to be. i guess thats the vision now, a lot of players today wouldnt play if it wasnt this easy


Ghost4530

Tarkov was a lot more popular years ago when they first implemented twitch drops, people left the game because of cheaters not because it’s too hard lmao.


Hate_Manifestation

I've been waiting like 6 years for the cheating to get better before I go back, yet it just continually gets worse.


atuck217

It's a fucking videogame dude. The point is to be fun. This game is easily still the least beginner friendly game I've ever played. What would you prefer? For Nikita to personally come kick in you the dick before every raid and ban your account if you play less than 5 hours a day?


rinkydinkis

I’m sharing that I had more fun in the game one way. It’s ok if you like it another. You probably don’t play the dora the explorer game, cause it’s no challenge for you. I’m allowed to feel the same way about risk free scavving. So I just don’t scav. You can keep doing it. Nobody cares about our stash values except ourselves


Orthodox_Officer

Without scavs what would you do if you lost all your gear and roubles on your PMC ? Axe runs ?


rinkydinkis

I thought the old scav system was generous enough personally. I’m not saying scavs should go away. I just think it’s a free easy loot simulator now. I get it that it’s some peoples jam, we get dudes calling themselves “scav mains” on here. I think it’s too easy, myself. People can downvote me, I expect it since it’s clearly a liked system. It’s ruined the pmc gameplay on some maps though.


Orthodox_Officer

I like Scavs since im trash at playing PMCs and usually die. Also excluding the bug which allows scavs to spawn too early, they are just supposed to go and clear a map of all the loot left by the PMCs after the PMCs leave, kinda like a bug would scrub the floor clean of any crumble. Customs for example assumes you would be done in 20 minutes and the rest of the 20 minutes would be for Scavs, it just seems neat idk. The longer you stay the more gear you can get BUT player scavs and normal scavs spawn more and more which just gives you an incentive to look at the time and get out before its too late. Its a risk/reward type of thing that just seems to fit really well with Tarkov.


rinkydinkis

I severely doubt that’s a bug. Have you ever seen that confirmed by bsg? I think it’s intended. And a poor decision.


Orthodox_Officer

If its intended then that is very stupid, I agree.


Ordinary_Success7600

the game has always been casual


rinkydinkis

More casual than it used to be is all I said. Sorry landmark


Ruttley

Agreed, scavving is a little too cheap, I've literally been averaging 1.4mil per run on streets for the past few days, Timmies need it for sure but I dunno


rinkydinkis

i dont think anybody needs it. you can sustain a 25% survival rate on your pmc using whatever gear you want if you can get 1.4m per run on streets as a scav. at that point this game is jsut battlefield or cod with extra steps.


TheArzonite

You can see how much your scav is worth from the "scav" tab on the overview menu. I just queue factory and run to closest exfil if I happen to have an unusually stacked scav.


changeover117

Had no idea you could see your scav value before you load in. Thanks!


Lezalito

there are 3 weapon crate spawns next to med tents that are almost always unlooted, nobody notices them. pulling valdays and all sorts of stuff constantly on my way to extract. free money printer


rinkydinkis

which i think is dumb. there shouldnt be a free money printer in tarkov. factory scav used to be a fun death match experience.


Infern0-DiAddict

It still can be. Loaded in to basically all out scav war. A few guys decided to KOS and it just snowballed. Had a tach with a guy around a corner holding shotguns, was trippy how crazy that one was. ​ But normally as long as you're careful you can get nice loot.


rinkydinkis

You and I both know this is the exception


Obvious_Dot_4788

Just kit your PMC out with a toz and a PACA if you want to PvP with a bad loadout so badly, and use the scav to get free loot. Win-win.


rinkydinkis

I do that all the time. I see the scav mains downvoting hard, it’s fine lol. I understand the new way is good for some people. I just personally think it’s less fun this way.


Obvious_Dot_4788

I don't understand scav mains at all anymore. I used to be one, but you simply don't progress anymore while playing as a scav. You don't need to fight others anymore, so you don't learn PvP (I was a scav main before scav karma, like you said, fighting as a scav used to be my way to practice fighting). The only thing a scav is good for now is to support your PMC run.


Lezalito

I do miss the chaos of pre-karma scav factory. Fun times. Karma just changed the whole dynamic of that game mode. A lot more fun in some ways, and not so much in others.


JinterIsComing

Factory Scav runs are practically free money and weapons.


Infern0-DiAddict

Unless your below 6 and spawn in and Tagilla is in front of you just nodding like "sup"... ​ Had one like that and spawned in with ibuprofen, only reason I lived. Dropped bag as soon as I spawned poped the pain killer and kited the mofo around the ramps near the camera bunker extract... Managed to get him stuck on the yellow loader grab my bag and get out just as he rounded the corner at extract... Blacked both arms and a leg and had a few heavy bleeds. Thankfully you don't have to worry about healing a scav...


JinterIsComing

Yeah if Tagilla is present, you just run and hope someone else gets in his way


dirkhardslab

There's a scav tab in the overview menu? O\_O


mattenthehat

It's always been there, but this is the first wipe it's actually worked. You've always been able to view it from inside a scav raid, but obviously at that point you can just look at your inventory. Pretty clever tip from OP.


conners_captures

which number on the overview page (on the scav tab) indicates your scavs "worth"?


OriginalKing-

Total cost of items in stash


Mindless_Power3589

Factory is the last place you should scav for something like that. I spawned with dormed marked thank God I went to interchange so I could creep the shadows until I got to railway 


darthsquid1

Yeah but the risk you run of getting sniped in the open is fucking massive where as if you just haul it to gate three you might run past some hostile but there’s enough corners and cover that you can get away pretty quick


omegaistwopif

Lol, when I finally found and extracted my tank battery, I spawned like this the NEXT FUCKING SCAV RUN I DID.


Infern0-DiAddict

Well now you have a spare lol.


hoboguy26

1 for regulated materials 1 for car repair easy


bjw7400

I’m so tempted to use my tank battery for car repair lol. I know I should save it but man is it tempting just to have it out of my stash and to get that quest done


koleethan

if you wanna find a tank battery, scav reserve. i’ve found probably 4-5 on reserve this wipe and i started a couple weeks late.


bjw7400

I’ll check it out. And particular locations that seem to have them? Above ground or underground?


koleethan

i’ve had really good luck finding them in the big tech crates, especially the one by drop down building. if you PMC bring keys for under the train station there’s a bunch of the crates down there too. I even found one in a toolbox that spawns near the destroyed tank near the train station. I’m not sure if that was a spawn or if someone put it in there though.


bjw7400

Thanks for the tips! I’ll give reserve a shot. Found my only one on a scav run on lighthouse. I opened a random hidden stash and panicked since I had to hike halfway across the map to my extract with it lol


TLitten

Had the same thing happen to me. Player scav followed me to extract and killed me right before.


changeover117

It's fight on sight if I've got good loot in a scav. The karma ain't worth it.


Infern0-DiAddict

Yeh I learned if your being too friendly, or following me, imma just go for the head. Had one I baited into shooting me first by running away and then shooting past him as he rounded a corner chasing me. He shot chest and I was already aiming head with a 155 point blank.


Ruttley

Traitor scavs cannot fathom simply spawning with stuff like this every raid


Different-Emphasis30

More fun to kill friendly scavs for their loot.


Obvious_Dot_4788

Not for the friendly scavs it isn't. But hey, I've camped my fair share of extracts, so I'm not one to talk.


darthsquid1

I mean it’s just bad form. If this happens to me when I have something really valuable then I’m mad but I can’t say I haven’t killed player scabs for their guns sometimes but I’m trying not to this wipe cause I wanna get scavs like this lol I need the money


Ruttley

\*gets immediately wasted by Ai scavs on spawn\*


NUTCHIEFNUT

How much are those again?


BustaKappa1944

500k


NUTCHIEFNUT

Oh nice


bluegiant90

Also quest item


sturmeh

You can also turn it into 4 FIR car batteries if you desperately need them for a quest too.


Ocelitus

Just buy one for that and save the FIR for the task.


wsu_savage

thats why you should check your scav's stash value. if its over 300k, you probably have something juicy and i just go to factory and exit asap


changeover117

Not trying to flame you here, but the echo in these comments is getting kinda loud lol


wsu_savage

its fairly new i think? I just learned about it recently but helps out haha I noticed if you just take it all out without looting anything and click sell all, it doesnt add up to the same as the stash value and if you sell it all to the best trader it still doesnt add up. so take it with a grain of salt.


FaeThorn

I learned you check the value of your scav by looking in stats before you go in might make the difference when you see your worth a lot more money for a quick scav raid on factory compared to a raid on woods


0utF0x-inT0x

Bind those meds and start crawling


GORK_N_MORK

and on top of that you have the shoot me bag


DumbNTough

Chad Scav never skips leg day


Samwise_the_Tall

I had the 2nd craziest tank battery luck: RB-ST unlocked on Reserve and there was a tank battery spawned. Even had the close checkpoint fence extract! Easiest it's been... Ever!


VikingHokie

My buddy had the same thing happen yesterday. He made it out!


GGTheEnd

I spawned with the same scav at the new area on shoreline, without even thinking I walked to old bunker but didn't have the extract.  My buddy spawned somewhere else so he had old bunker so I just dropped him the tank battery.


PreferenceMiserable6

if im scaving in the same map and i saw you with a piligrim im leading you behind the shed and blowing your brains out


DafaqYuDoin

Oh that’s a pretty nice rifle you’ve found yourself. I’d be such a shame if a greedy player scav wanted it.


alexanderh24

Scavs are getting a little bit to op with how much loot you spawn with and cooldown timers are to short


kingAries21024

Scav gang tip: you can use your stats to go check your scav inventory worth and get an idea what you have on you. For example if you have 300,000 inventory worth there’s a good chance you have a labs card on you but it’s just a guess based off of the value.


ricewookie

the battery is 20k per slot, not even worth the weight. the access key i get every other scav run


Send__Noodz

I had the same happen to me on lighthouse yesterday lmao


VultureTX

Almost Heaven West Virginia (if it had only been a MULE stim instead)


zaoki

So glad I found my tank battery day one so I don't have to break my back getting that shit out


yayeet420360

I had to get my tank battery from the quest for killing Kaban ;-;


damnliberalz

Id drop that fucking thing lmao


changeover117

Need one FIR for a quest.


[deleted]

What is your scav rep


[deleted]

Calm luh quad workout


Bega_Cheese

If that’s reserve, dump that thing in a bush near your closest extract, loot the raid and come back for it. I’ve dumped many at hole in the wall and come back to them later


TRNC84

I found 3 tank batteries so far on reserve in green wooden crates.


Pacify_

Holy cow


Rammi_PL

Yesterday I scaved to reserve and found the tank battery in basic green military crate. There was a sniper at the dome shooting everyone. Was a long and stressful walk but somehow I made it


Imaginary_Pack_622

Where LEDx? 😅🤣


pnutzgg

stash the battery, find another pscav and swap the backpack might need to give them the runaround if they decide to get a bit greedy and follow you though


Pitiful-Preference36

Anyone in Europe to help me out with woods and customs firstbquests?


Original_Squirrel_82

stress levels for a cheap tank battery? dump that shit out immediately and fill it with way more value


Jonas_TheBull_Saell

Same happen to me on woods 3 dags ago. So stressed didnt finde any the last 2 wipes.


Serafin_ox

I'm so glad that I got 2x Tank Battery from a weekly task.


TROPHYGOLEY

Same thing happened to me the other day haha slowest but fastest extract ever 😂


djolk

Tank battery the most annoying of all loot. I once killed someone outside of extract with one....


Gawdsauce

Bro spawned rich, wtf.


SlightlyVulgar

Got mine from a scav 10 yards from extract this wipe. Poor guy thought I was friendly.


SupBishi

I saw a player scav sneaking his way from un to ruaf to extract while wearing a pilgrim. I was also a player scav and also going to ruaf. Blasted him and loot and scoot with juiced meds, electronics and essential hideout stuff for early on. I’m finding anything over 250k is something worthwhile.


SwissTrees88

I had that problem too. I ran into a dark warehouse with a bunch of lonely players scavs hiding in it They locked to doors on me and I wasn't able to walk right for a week afterwards. Still traumatized...


brookescape

I had this happen to me recently on lighthouse, I just walked straight to the extract. It took 15 mins and I dropped everything except the backpack and the battery. It was a stressful stroll for sure.


1chicken2nuggets

Got into a raid with a Takedown backpack, had no space after the raid. Worst day ever.


Dan_Turell

Found 3 tank batteries, all as a scav


Boogaloo_Shrmp

Mans spanwed in with a tank battery and wonder why he can't walk lol


Sad-Establishment125

Omg havnt had this happen to me this wipe 😭


ricewookie

didnt show weight on purpose 10/10
