Do SCAVS or PMCS Make Money Faster? - Escape From Tarkov

- I ran an experiment to compare how long it would take me to make 20 million as a PMC vs as a SCAV on Streets of Tarkov.
Forgot to mention, for the PMC keys the price was negligible due to only hitting Beluga a couple of times and the cost of the uses was ~20-30k and I ended up with a nice buffer over the target 20M in my last raid.

this is gonna be another popping video for you mate, hope all your hard work and careful thought continues to be rewarded, great content!
Thanks Dave! I can only keep trying to improve the quality!
very nice vid. although i didn't agree with including cooldown timer for scavs that basically puts both runs at the same efficiency. Also I'd say most people won't have a 80% survival rate as PMC, not even close
I mean doesn’t make the money making method any less efficient. Most people don’t have 10 KD either but I am still here learning the tools of the trade.
What I'd love is for more and varied testing, like I discussed at the end. So maybe pester your favourite content creators to do similar tests on Streets or whatever their favourite map is and maybe we can get a huge variety of tests across various skill levels and servers. If you come across anyone else doing a test like this please post it here or in my discord, I'm super interested to see them!
Not including the scav cooldown timer would dishonestly represent the efficiency of scav runs. My thoughts are, suppose there is a player who has 2 hours to play at the end of their day and they plan to dedicate that time to making money, they then look around YT checking out different money making methods and stumble across this video, if I did not include the scav cooldown time then they would believe they could make far more money in that 2 hour window than what my testing shows, as for them the cooldown time does matter and must be accounted for, it doesn't magically disappear.
You may be referring to a separate topic which I mentioned in the video and which would be interesting to test is whether a hybrid PMC + SCAV run method would be more efficient, but that is outside the scope of this video.
@@ChucklesTVThe issue here is content creators doing this. You'll only really learn how good PMC vs Scav is for someone with really good stats. If you want to know the average Joe money making method you need to get many average Joe's to do this.
It doesn’t matter because with those 4minuites he is sorting or selling loot
You must at the end it takes time
At fence 3.0 or higher, I will always make more money as a scav. Quick runs with no effort on shoreline take 10 minutes at most with a survival rate of over 90% (usually don't even see a pmc unless I go to resort)
PMC on shoreline, doing loot runs only no quests or hunting, the spawns tend to be on the wrong side of the map to get decent loot without hunting players. I will say the PMC make more but it requires A) not dying or running cheap kits and upgrading them via pmc kills B) A good spawn for loot
So I will say on average the scav will win but at best the pmc wins.
Awesome to see stuff like this, very cool perspective on looting and efficiency. Streets is fascinating not only from a loot pool perspective but the way you can traverse the map unscathed once you really understand it.
Yeah it's such an awesome map that has ruined every other map for me!
Just started the vid. But I can already tell it’s a high quality video based on the variable control you took into mind. Liked and subbed!
Amazing video as always.
Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the help mate!
I usually don't like youtube recommending small channels to me as they are 99% of the time super poor quality videos with bad editing, flow etc.
Just gotta say this vid does not belong with those other 99%, this is quality content!
Thanks mate appreciate the kind words!
I find that alternating between scavs and pmc's every raid is the best as you don't have to wait for the timer and you can get money from your scav a lot quicker, usually I just scav on shoreline which is much better than people say and I would be more than happy to show you that route if you think it's worth looking into, but I appreciate the non biased video and I hope you're doing well!
Coming from you I'm starting to believe shoreline is worth looking at haha I just hate the map. You reckon I can make more than 2.69m/h on shoreline averaged over a long period of time?
@@ChucklesTV I wouldn't be surprised if you make more on Shoreline. A quick loot of all bags, stashes, and jackets, etc. in village or even just the new area depending on what spawn you get is how I make my money.
It can vary a lot from raid to raid but usually the resort isn't very contested during night raids, I usually make atleast 1 million roubles each run even on scav runs but it does take a while and it's a bit of a running simulator. You also get to run into sanitar and cultists every once and a while which is fun but also terrifying @@ChucklesTV
@@ChucklesTV This is the video that got me started with shoreline money runs czcams.com/video/QkQI5rOZ4bQ/video.html. Looting route is dependent on what side you spawn on. Always avoid resort since it's too much of a hotspot to be reliable and consistent. West spawn = loot village and extract path to lighthouse ASAP. East spawn = loot cattle and extract car extract asap. He said 4.5m/hr over a relatively small sample size of 16 raids (15 survived, 1 death), but even with just a mechanism with no rig inside you have about 50 slots and 500k worth available to you if you don't get any rare loot. If you average 10 min per raid and 7 min in stash/loading into the next raid, that's 3.53 raids/hr and at least 1.765 mil per hour assuming every slot was filled and at least 10k, which is pretty easy to achieve (could probably bump this baseline higher with rigs in backpack). The chance for loot above 10k per slot value could easily bump you over 2.69m in the long run.
@evanjfogg Did he have a vod showing 4.5M/hr?
On your last point regarding gear. It is indeed a strategy to pick maps based on the gear you have to maximize a run.
For instance: First check scav value under the scav statistics tab (total stash value will be inventory value). With experience you can learn what kind of items to expect in your bag. Secondly, what kind of kit you are wearing?
If you are low value + small kit => lighthouse or map with dead scavs/pmcs
if you are low value + big kit => Streets or maybe lighthouse for a bigger risk/reward.
if you are high value + small kit => if you need the potential item you go to a low intensity map with lots of extracts, otherwise just go to streets
if you are high value + big kit => Streets.
Yeah I'd love to see this test, I might need a month break from pure scavs before I'm keen to do it but maybe someone else feels up to it xD
TLDR: Just go streets 24/7.
Actually scaving reserve is broken but that's for another video soon
You’re one of the coolest tarkov youtubers!!! Keep up the great work.
Thanks mate!! I'll keep working hard!!
I exclusively scav Reserve and typically make at least 500k rubles per run that I survive. Which I survive most of them unless I get unlucky that day. The runs typically go for 20-30 minutes. I’ll keep looting even if my inventory is full to try to get as much prime loot as possible.
I do the same haha reserve is great and sometimes you get fun pvp too
Monday- Thursday night on America south is quiet as well. I get cheaters every now and then, but if you run night, you’ll probably only come across 1 or 2 pmcs every 3-4 raids
Love the depth you put into this video.
Thanks Jan! I wanted to try and be a bit scientific about it
@@ChucklesTV It reminds me of science class, actually taking the time to make a true reliable outcome. would love to see the difference of a chad scav that chases shots compared to a laid back scav.
ngl I feel like if I killed someone with no helmet, p90 and a bagpack with two rigs filled with loot I'd assume they were vacuum hacking
Haha yep
nice vid always a good day when u upload
Thanks sneaky!
I'd love to see someone do a similar test for interchange cuz it's always been one of my most played maps and the difference of scav vs PMC is insane. When I'm on scav I always just run straight to the most dangerous parts like the center of the mall because PMCs never loot it and make big money doing that, but as a PMC I find it's really difficult to find uncontested loot and the biggest problem is just getting into the mall(which is 100% skill issue I just still need to learn how to path from a few of the spawns). Like some spawns are easy on that map and you can get a really efficient run hitting everything in the back of the mall with no issues but with some of the tougher spawns I think you need to hold back a bit and get into the mall late which is obviously not the best for farming.
Me too I'd love to see an interchange test! I'll eventually do it if no other CC does in the mean time, right now I'm a bit sick of scaving :D
Sweet video sir. Great idea
Thanks mate! Surprised it hasn't been done hundreds of times before!
As a pmc you need a raid bag and big ass rig to make it count
I like the way you make videos, my guy.
Thank you!! Just don't watch anything older than 3months on my channel!! xD
I love the lines you draw on the maps how do you do that in resolve? (I assume you edit in resolve cause of previous videos)
It's sooo fun so open the clip or whatever in fusion, add a paint node between media in and media out, then using polyline stroke draw a line, then key frame the write on slider of the polyline stroke. If this doesn't make sense pop by stream anytime and I'll be happy to demo, I love sharing editing tips!
When playing solo this wipe I take my scav to streets every other raid. It really is free money for sure, it’s making my wipe much much more enjoyable. I’m level 27 and have every possible hideout upgrade done for my PMC/trader level.
Yeah its sooo goooood, nice work on your progress this wipe!
You are Tarkov genius, really. Your vids change the way I play. I have 2k hours and feel like a total noob watching your videos
Thanks mate you're too kind!
Then you suck. Buy cheats
I usually scav reserve, raiders usually spawn train at the end of the raid when basically all the pncs are gone and rarely are they contested you usually find player scavs that have died trying to kill them that have allready done the looting for you.
I’ve had the odd pmc at 4 mins left in raid just waiting in the dark at train station like why are you still here lol
@@Nick_45454mins at train station? As a pmc? I assume the train already left too? Bro just didn’t wanna extract clearly
@@TheeWolfiee1 I killed a pmc there at around 6 min left im guessing he had a buddy who was about to hit the button until i killed his duo but cant know for sure
Great vid ❤️
Thanks for watching it Dan!
2:08, it starts counting down when you hit the scav inventory screen after a raid. so if you take a couple minutes to pick and choose what you're keeping or organize things, your cooldown will be lower.
Ah so I could figure it out exactly by timing from when I hit scav inventory screen to checking menu, cheers!
Really well made video and interesting findings, expected pmc to be more profitable when comparing to scaving in this context actually.
A theory I have is that scaving factory with high fence karma could be very profitable aswell in regards of rouble per hour, maybe combined with a pmc/scav hybrid so the cooldown wouldnt be hurting the proficiency too much. Theory is that the loot youre spawning with is profitable enough to just extract without looting anything and youre upping the roubles per hour that way. Taking the cooldown out of the equation I think this might be up there too. Not sure how thats gonna compare to scaving streets though.
Yeah I seriously underestimated scav running, it's insane. I think just running to extract on factory is probably worse roubles/hour but a much lower time to learn for new players since you're just learning how to extract rather than many loot spawns on streets, would be an interesting test tho
nice work chuckles
Thanks Luke!
I usually alternate between scav raid, get my pmc set up for a raid/sell stuff/stash managament and by then another scav is ready so I’ll run it. Extract then run my pmc instantly. After pmc scav is back up so I’ll run that. Then stash management and repeat. Found it’s the most efficient way for myself.
Yeah a hybrid strat would be interesting to test and get some numbers on to compare
Awesome vid thx man
Thanks for watching it mate!
Video is amazing but what I personally would like to see is a video like this on every map not just streets. Maybe you should go for a Lower ruble number if you decide to do that just to keep some sanity.
Reason being for my suggestion is me and the groupe I play with exclusively run Reserve for scavs and making ruble seems faster that any other map.
Currently I'm doing a scav test for every map, completed half so far
By using an effective Rat strategy of camping high traffic areas and common pathways from high loot areas to extracts, I was able to hit $20MM as a PMC in 7:18 with a survival rate of 83%. Im going to try this as a Scav this week, though I don’t see it being as successful because of the weapon load out being weaker. Don’t confuse ratting with extract camping, they are not the same. Exfil campers sit and hope someone is coming… a good Rat will find where players are and position themselves so that they have a positional advantage when the conflict presents itself.
Haha
Would be interesting to see what your best run was, how much did you make? Also did you include the loss of equipment if you died?
No idea and yep
I am a few minutes into the vid but do wanna share my thoughts on scav optimisation - if your scav lacks a bag then lighthouse is my pick due to ease of 4x5 or 5x5 bags off of rogues (even looted ones) and also abundant loose loot, while if I do have a bag it's either streets (the most optimal) or ground zero (more fun and easier for fence rep due to ease of Pmc kills). Just my thoughts
Yeah someone else mentioned this general idea as well, basically to run a test where the equipment determines the map rather than sticking on one map, it's a great idea!
@@ChucklesTV it's been good to me this wipe - going maps based off kits mean you can put yourself in as optimal of a position as possible for maximum profits. Btw great vid :)
Busy raids are definitely better for scav with small bp. You are almost guaranteed to find a decent bag.
I just queue night if I have a bag and day if I don't
That makes sense!
My scav makes a decent amount. I think it is easier on certain maps for sure. My go-to scav is reserve and I usually have 400-650k just looting duffles and tech spawns. Cleaning up pmc gear. Only downside is in US servers the pscavs are a little more hostile if you look like you are well off
Ahhh I wonder if they should increase penalty for TKs
I’ve actually been having this same question but for interchange, my scav is quick, no risk 600k average but my pmc is longer, more risk but 1 mil average and idk which one to run because it’s different every time
Yeah my guess is scav would be more efficient but I've barely ran scav runs at all so I don't know how convenient the extracts are
Amazing vid
Thanks for watching mate!
I only run scavs when i need gear or money, like rn, im broke, less than a thousand roubles, i like to go to lighthouse, kill rouges and get out w sum really decent kits
There is a bit of cherry-picking, but tbh, I don't think I've ever went to Lighthouse USEC chalet (or whatever the hell) and had a terribly bad time. One insane scav run there makes up for a couple not as great ones, and even there, you're going to survive most scav runs anyway tbh...
So far lighthouse has been the worst of all maps tested, I think it has very high volatility compared to say safe reliable ground zero: czcams.com/video/5SEirWeXLmo/video.html
I think it would be more interesting to try different servers, I feel that REALLY impacts my survivability as both a PMC and scav,
Absolutely, I'd love to see a comparison between NA/EU/Asia, I can only run OCE and Asia though
Normaly I just scav into factory and insta leave or loot the technical crate and medic. Mostly over 150k in under 2 minutes. I do it after every pmc run so its some good money over a day 🥴
2:30 what is this room I've been searching for it but can't find out the name or where it is
Beluga 2nd floor, see minimall loot guide in description
thought I would give it a watch and realised I am the Bear at 4:21
Hope ya enjoyed the loot
I don't loot on my PMC. I just focus on getting quests done then I extract.
I have 10.30 scav rep this wipe and I almost instantly maxxed out my scav rep first few days from doing car extracts. I have 327 raids as scav where 233 of those are survived and I do have to say its a lot more mindless then running pmc. I can watch youtube in the background and just do the loot run.
For pmc, it's a lot more risk and a lot more micro managing in stash since scav timer lets me quickly sell my things, my hideout management is 9, and got intel 3. The only regret I have is I lose out on leveling my pmc skills when I do scav. I have like 11-12 strength on scav, and 13-15 endurance. Which would of added 3 strength on my pmc, and 6 endurance on my pmc which I regret. Same with attention being like 1-2 levels. I do think scaving is good if you are bad at the game or just wanna watch something on the side and make a few millions quickly.
The biggest thing I realized while scavving this wipe is the amount of times I get a keycard in my inventory with bigger bags or big bags in general for being 6.0 scav rep. I currently have like 40 red flares in my stash, and the stims and keycards I got early wipe helped with my quests for pmc which is why I almost have kappa atm.
You can do the exact same thing on your PMC just don’t be scared it’s a video game lol and honestly that’s insane bro like you said all those strength and endurance levels could be on your PMC where is really matters because that’s when your actually gonna use the money you’ve been grinding for. I never understood this mindset of grinding millions of roubles to just look at it and never utilize it pushing fights/going for big loot.
@@1LuckySavage you cant really do the exact same thing on ur pmc since u have to pay attention. I just run my scav when I'm really low on money and just put on utube or a show and go to the high risk loot areas and alwyas get stuff. As a pmc u gotta worry about dying to others etc and you gotta think a lot more lol.
I do agree the levels are wasted on ur scav tho. I wish they just made it so the levels went to your pmc instead
@@lovie74 the only difference between scav and PMC is AI scavs don’t shoot you but they are push overs most the time anyway and no gear to lose but if you don’t have gear fear you can push high loot areas and get things same way. I kinda understand the putting on CZcams part but why play a video game if your intention is to just mindlessly watch videos and not even care about what happens lol
I have a pretty solid route on ground zero for my scav so that I can average 300k per run for about 4 minutes.
Very noice
Ive made 50mil 3 wipes in a row now by getting max scav rep, teir 3 intel and running reserve. Its overpowered.
Yep so OP yet the player base still has a massive amount of gear fear
For me i usually make more money with my scav because i main shoreline, i always rush east and loot because people just don't know how to loot the place without keys and by the time i reach resort most PMC are on west or they never came to resort, now on my pmc last wipe i made way more money as my PMC looting village, i was coming out with a mil each raid as long i was spamming on that side which were 80% of the time, barely saw other PMC and i was taking path to lighthouse, and each raid would take me 12 minutes tops, also knowledge of loot bags and what not is always your best friend when it comes to making money
How much do you make per hour? I just did a timed test scaving to 20M on shoreline at it took me 7hrs 47mins which puts it at the 4th fastest based off of my testing: Full Vod www.twitch.tv/videos/2082960538
@@ChucklesTV right now with lv 2 intel, rep lv 7 i get my scavs every 8 minutes, i'm doing 700k to 800k per run on average, only looting resort because shoreline is kinda dead right now, so i dare to say 3.5 mil per hour, it takes me 10 to 13 minutes to get there and fully loot resort and get out, this is without getting a ledx or bitcoins, if i get lucky with any of that is a solid 2 mil run, i will check your vod your runs, and right now as my PMC since i'm only doing PVP i just don't make any money, only enough to break even if i died the run before.
@APPLECAKEPIE3477 3.5/hr is amazing and I'd love to see a long vod test like mine if you have the time
also dont forget, the value pool of the PMCS (anecdotal) 100% affects the loot value in a given raid, i play exclusively on OCE during off hours (working nights) during dead hours with empty lobbies the loot is very noticeably worse, you should also probably mention the prevalence of loot ESPers because OCE is absolutely plagued by closet cheaters just grinding RMT roubles because the USD per hour is better than working a normal job in their country, way less rage hackers, ive had obvious ESPers refuse to kill me so i cant report them its just a fact of life on OCE
interesting video well done
Yeah I'd love to see a long test of PMC numbers vs loot density, seems like hard work though xD regarding cheater count I find it very difficult to get a read on the numbers in my raids so I'd prefer not to have too much guesswork in my videos
For me the perfect balance is pmc raid then scav raid if you really want to be super successful and rich because unless you are a pvp god you aren’t gonna find a lot of success
Hey bro great video, I was wondering at what point you unlock the 4th slot on the flea?
30 reputation
30 then 60 for 5th: escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Trading (scroll down)
I think it would be interesting to see a solo PMC streets money run compared to running it as a duo PMC. I know times could be slower, but is it safer?
Yeah I've been thinking about this too! It would be an interesting test but I suspect it might be riskier. If both people want to fill up say a couch bag with 2mppvs inside then the amount of the map you'd have to loot almost doubles which means more pvp encounters but as a duo you'd be more effective in pvp, so I'm not sure
@@ChucklesTV I think since I am new at Streets loot runs, I did not consider how much loot you (specifically) are typically able to gather. I think as long as you are quick, Solo runs are definitely the most viable option to make large amounts of money very quick.
It varies by map as well, for Labs I think duo is more effective (but not more than that) as there is enough loot with all cards to split the map after wiping the lobby, but labs is special because its far easier to wipe players before they escape with loot. What we'd do is make sure if one of us died it didnt overly inconvenience our duo so we'd use an armoured rig that provided extra space for them to loot (osprey/tv110/avs/etc) and have a bag that can be stacked (1 with raid, 1 with blackjack). Then all our death would "cost" them in space is a weapon slot @@SnipeGenetix
Can you do a setting video your game looks so good

Where can I try your post fx???
clips.twitch.tv/ZanyCreativeSmoothieArsonNoSexy-lzuntKWJlfy9sbGX
What if I told you that you could make more roubles per hour on Interchange? I did 3 10-12 minute raids and made 7 mil just the other day. No PC searching either.
What if I told you I tested it and agree xD next video is testing scav only to 20mill on every map and comparing stats, done all except woods and shoreline so far
Is the 80% surv rate a function of night only raids or is that like your average… cause to me that raises more questions than answers.
Night raids during the most dead time of day on some of the least populated servers will get you there
It's a mix of the following:
- Highly skilled player
- Not Questing; No hunting PMCs; just routing to exit via loot
- Less PMCs at Night
- Avoid contested areas (he mentioned in the vid that he choose to go for easy loot not contested areas.)
- Aiming for
@Schirm92 great answer - in addition last wipe my average was 78% once I hit a billion, proof: czcams.com/video/SdKiwXSiBl8/video.html This wipe I'm trying to have a lot more fun and I'm down to ~70%
a couple things you didn't do, that make scav runs on streets especially insane is
1. relax key is often unlooted, you can hit relax room half the scav raids (usually around 6-700k if unlooted)
2. marked room window bug is huge for scav money (usually around 500k in there if unlooted)
1. I grabbed the relax key a few times but felt that the run across map to the hive was not worth the time/risk, could be wrong it was a strategical decision, maybe run a test where you do this and see how it goes? 2. I don't abuse exploits
@@ChucklesTV for 2. that's understandable, I just know a large portion of players are using it, including myself to make a lot of money, but to be fair the farther we get into mid wipe the more often its already looted (the right way) by the time i get there
insane how good scav is
Yeeeeeep it's soo crazy
take into consideration that your scav also gains xp and skill xp through those runs, so you can elite endurance / strength, you've gotta take into account loot you spawn in with as a scav and scav rep, a simple r/h isn't a clear indication without taking costs into account
For less skilled players scavs are usually better for money
Makes sense!
How high does your flea rep have to be to get the 4th slot?
30
@@ChucklesTV thanks, I literally hit it today when I got on lol
Scavs. Found a pc with double gpu. Got like 3 raids in a row with 3 gpus just by running scavs
You are goated
Thanks mate
With one i lose time, with one i lose time and money
pmc is faster but riskier and more deaths (probably), scav is slower but safer and usually more raids survived.
You have to subtract the gear you lost from the kia PMC raids from the total. Scavs are way more profitable because they carry no risk of loss...
You didn't watch it I guess :(
It would be interesting to test how much rub/hr you get if you base your choice on how your scav gear looks like
If your scav has small rig/no bag just go into factory to reset it and go streets as a pmc but if your scav spawns with a pilgrim or something then you go to streets and hit hotspots etc
Oooh thats an interesting idea! I'd need to play alot more scav runs and do tests on various maps, but I found the scav runs really super insanely boring haha so maybe hit up a scav main content creator with this idea!
well done
THANKS BERG :D
Nice vids! Always better pmc run big bag big loot exp pmc quest pvp = scav is ez money with big bag and learning map and path if you play survival you make money 💰 😊nothing for me gonna beat a labs run at 106kg with 10k exp
Labs is always way more fun as long as there aren't any vacuuuuuums flying around !
@@ChucklesTV yess sir ahaha 😹 be like that on all map but street they need 20 bag to fill their inventory ahahah
Yeah true hahaha
I made 100mil in a 24 hour period last wipe only scaving, I could probably do the same but the spawns for pmc's are kinda ass
I'd love to see a recording of that!
if the pmc has marked keys, kinda feel like its a no brainer which way you can make money faster. not really sure why were even testing this.
You'd be surprised how many times scav mains told me they could make 3m/hr guaranteed but then never showed proof, so I was curious
Streets is pretty safe for loot runs as a PMC I would say, but a 82% surv. rate, expensive gear, and the skill required to succeed as well as you did in this test is far above the means of the average player, yet said player can easily replicate the success shown on your scav runs.
Yeaaa it's sooo easy, I wonder if scav runs are much harder on eu/na tho, like if the loot is all taken because it's more contested by other p scavs
any know where the room at 0:40 is
Beluga - See the mini-mall guide in desc.
@@ChucklesTV thank you
It is safe to say PMCs nowdays have lootphobia, always cheap kits. 30 min in and only 2 items in big backpacks, in other hand, Pscavs know how to loot and fill backpacks, so it is safe to say to make money and piss people off... extract camping scav extracts in lighthouse or streets are the best way to get money
It might be best as in fastest roubles/hour on some servers, but on mine which are really quiet (oce/Asia) I doubt there would be enough player scav traffic to make it worthwhile. My recent test which I have the complete uncut vod of was of scaving reserve and I made 20mill in 5hrs 58minutes, I'd be amazed if extract camping can beat that. If you have the time record yourself trying your strat and I'd be interested to see how well it works!
Phenomenal video 🫡
Thank you!!
W video
Thank you!
If anything I just feel like this makes scav runs too strong. I am all for being able to make money on scav runs but if it's this close it kind of makes me wonder why would you run PMC for money runs besides being able to do quests. I feel as if scavs should spawn even later in the raid
Indeed, scavs are crazy strong.
yes mate
chuckles this test is one of many conclusions I've come to. Your route is one of many spawn dependent routes a scav you should be taking.You can make many more roubles per hour basing your raids off sub 8 minutes as scav and looting to exfil. Also slotting as a scav is not as ideal, but check everything on the way to exfil and you would be surprised what you find. Powering scav stats as well can really make your m/p/h go through the roof as a scav. You can average 4-5mil an hour powering hideout management with scav skills. Max scav stats are ridiculous late wipe because you are a random spawn PMC who doesnt care about bosses
Yeah alot of good points, I'm super tempted to scav main to a billion next wipe, after 2 wipes of making a bill I think I'll want a change up
@@ChucklesTV your definitely on a road to a more interesting and random side of tarkov. I would like to see some indepth videos on what you pickup along the way
What I pick up as in item prioritization during raids?
@@ChucklesTV I meant more or less tactics for pushing skills and what is a pvp viable kit. I've been doing scav main for a few wipes but really went hard a few wipes ago and maxed endurance on reserve. Some maps you might be able to slot better than on streets like lighthouse because lighthouse has guaranteed farmable ai and usually slots on the ground always
@@ChucklesTV I've done maybe 500mil as a scav in a wipe but never went through a bil. I would like to see videos on that sort of journey it's cool to watch and learn as well most of the tarkov community disregards the power of scaving or low risk slotting I call it
0:41 What Room is that and where is that room?
Beluga, minimall, see guide in description
N1 ty@@ChucklesTV
Can you help me with finding ammo? Like M995 SP6 BS all the best ammo?@@ChucklesTV
Yea I have a survival rate of 36% but a KD of 4.0 I just push all fights and never leave unless near death
very valid playstyle
I feel so guilty running scav. Beyond easy to get loot I wish it was harder.
Yeeeep so crazy easy
1 Thing that is a bit important in this scenario is taking into account how much you were spending on kits for your pmc and deducting that from your profit since a scav is given gear at no cost to you!
I did :(
yeah 82% SR is insane
Easier servers
It just shows, that the economy of EFT is way, way too inflationary. Most items you need for crafting should just sell to vendors for below 1k rubles.
For a hardcore game definitely, but I like money being easy to make as it's easier for new players to get rich and try out any loadout they feel like which helps them learn the game faster. The scav efficiency showed me that Tarkov is a lot more casual than I thought
@@ChucklesTV That argument isn't really pulling weight, since you need high level traders (since the flea isn't carrying many high end items anymore) to try out any load out.
Leon B?
haven't watched the thing yet, just glanced over stats but i can say this:
are you taking into account gear costs on pmc? possible key costs if used?
He did take costs in to account. Didn’t use keys
Forgot to mention, for PMC keys the price was negligible due to only hitting Beluga a couple of times and the cost of the uses was ~20-30k and I ended up with a nice buffer over the target 20M in my last raid.
I feel like they changed the loot on streets i have been running your streets route and about 2 weeks ago the loot whas not that great anymore
They mess with loot all the time, it seems loot is better in locked rooms now
@@ChucklesTV you have a video coming up about locked rooms ? Like the once that are worth it
@@michielsterkens4311 Nope, my next video is a helmet test video. They are all mostly worth it, if you can survive
I feel that playing scav only isn't worth it because you are missing progressing your PMC skills
This is what I used to think too but this test has me thinking what if we do the reverse, so only play PMC to Intel 3 and max fence karma, then get elite skills on scav
While I’m just extract from factory every 5 min cooldown and got stupid 1.5 mil per hour. Keycard in my pocket is bonus top of that 1.5mil😂
Yep it's soo easy
@@ChucklesTV these income put my gear fear out of my mind. Dead is just roubles. We could make more.
Absolutely, thats not the last gear fear stage though, I'm up to "fear of having to waste 10minutes waiting in matchmaking for people to load the dumbass map" :(, wasting time fear I guess
How do you deal with all the cheaters tho, I literally get hounded down by people in beanes and sunglasses getting player kills for that stupid quest. You can literally stay out of the way of any gunfight and just listen to that svd get closer until some fresh account with 2000 kills 20% survival rate and 1.2 k/d shoots you in the back of the head with a gun that costs more than your entire kit. They are just gloating at this point it's so blatant.
I don't deal I just get sent back to lobby :(
this entire test is busted by the low traffic server
Being from Australia I can't run high traffic servers 😭
I gave 6.0 scav and Intel 3 it’s so free
Shorline is the best but I hate when people make vids on my loot runs
Haha fair
1 or 2 bitcoins, no gpus or led in 35 raids is nuts, usually a find a bitcoin /gpu every couple of raids
Every couple of raids? You need to record your scav runs because that's insane, lol
@@Jake-bt3fc he's probably haxxing lol. I'm level 23 with 30mil and I only found like 3-4 btcs this wipe and 5 or 6 gpus on scav and I do like 5-6 raids whenever I play
Where we loot greatly determines how much of these rare items we'll get. So for my runs I expected no ledx, 1-2 GPU, and 3-5 BTCs over the 20million grind because I know all the spawns that I'm checking. Compared to if I focused on different areas of the map like Chek/Mailroom/Lexos/Cardinel I'd expect far more higher value per slot loot but that comes with a lower S/R. Its just a strategic decision at the end of the day :)
This shouldn't even be close, pmc is significantly faster if you know what you are doing
I guess I don't know what I'm doing xD
bruh in over 60 raids this dude encountered like 15 pmcs. NA and EU players have to kill that many pmcs just to get out of one 😂
no wonder aussies like pestily always making guides, yall playing single player
Yup my servers have been dead for like a year, I used to only pvp labs but with inertia and various other changes all the aggressive players left for other games xD but I get 250+ ping to EU and NA so what to do
@@ChucklesTV no hate homie, just jealousy 😭
Mate I'm jealous of you too xD I could only watch as pvp died here and I got forced to do roubling content haha
this experiment is just pointless because you aren't hitting the key rooms. that by far the biggest difference between scav and pmc runs.
How about you design your ideal PMC streets test complete with what route I should take from each spawn and any other parameters you see fit (e.g. loadout) then send it to me on discord and I'll consider running it. It's easy to criticize, harder to actually create
Pmc is better. Period
I find PMC way more fun at least
wtf how’s it possible to stack 300 mil 😂
Easier servers, streets, lots of hours, full loot guide is the 100 in 1 week vid
@@ChucklesTV begun to hit relax room and quickly earned much more than i ever had before :) really enjoying this wipe, just wish streets would be more optimized
Nice mate yeah me too
