Maximize Your Trader and Flea Market Profit | What Tarkov is Missing (Our Wish List) | EXFIL Episode 15 (An Escape From Tarkov Podcast)

The Dream (and dream analysis) episode.

On this week’s episode MTB and Ronal talk about some of the things they ‘miss’ from other games or would like to see in Tarkov. The discussions start with a “wouldn’t this be cool” context, but we think you’ll be surprised where they land on some of their ‘dreams’

MTB brings up a popular third party resource from PUBG (Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds for the unfamiliar - A battle royale FPS) called PUBG.report; a website that uses the API to pinpoint, and deliver, the time at which two twitch streamers fight and one of them gets knocked or killed. The thought of this coming to Tarkov is an interesting one - would you want to see when you kill a streamer? Would it cause more issues with stream sniping?

Ronal’s main wish list item is an expanded market tool section or an API to allow for addons to be created. This spawned the debate of whether or not overlay addons would be a good thing for Tarkov - Would it be OK as a stat dump after a raid? What about just a market API that gave more tools for ‘playing’ the market? Many references are made to the way World of Warcraft handles their addons and because Tarkov has many similar elements to larger MMO games (especially in the trade system) MTB and Ronal spent a fair amount of time talking about what they (battlestate) could do.

Those were the topics that the hosts flipped on, but the one they both agreed on that would be an amazing addition to the game would be the ability to share gun presets. For example, send an in-game mail of some kind that would allow the other user to save the gun preset to make it easier to build.

To continue the conversation from last week about the flea market the hosts give examples of some trades that can be very profitable with the test results of buying the items for the trades and subsequently selling the item that was traded for. There are many trades that can make Roubles simply by purchasing off the flea market, crafting or trading, and then sell the final product. In some cases you can make as much as 400k roubles at this point in the wipe (~6 months in) but there are also trades you can complete with level 1 traders that can yield a profit. The trades or hideout options that were discussed: Magazine Case crafted in the Lavatory in the hideout, Weapon Case trade from Mechanic Loyalty Level 3, Red Rebel trade from Jaeger Loyalty Level 3, Tetris to Bitcoin trade from Mechanic Loyalty Level 1, and finally the S I C C Case from Jaeger Loyalty Level 3. All of the details for how to make a profit utilizing these trades is within the episode. The methodology discussed can be used to determine if any trade is profitable.

Good luck out there! Let us know if you use any of these trades or crafts already or if you have one that you prefer over these.
