Heads up

I just got the standard edition FYI.

After failing x5 PMC runs, losing 4 complete gear sets, and bleeding half of my starting money, I decided to stop and just do SCAV runs on Customs to potentially get meta loot.

However, when I actually did SCAV runs, I couldn't loot much stuff due to 2 reasons :

1. Giga chads everywhere
2. Very harsh SCAV spawn timer on Customs

So all I got was about 100k rubles from yoinking AI SCAV gear and x2 tape measure, x1 spark plug, and x1 ES (Energy Saving) Lamp.

I do appreciate the money and the parts (needed for basic hideout upgrades), but I still can't afford to tap the crates, jackets, and so on due to the above reasons.

Any tips on how to get more loot on Customs SCAV runs?

That timer's killing me. Half the time all I do is run to Railroad to Military Base and loot like three pieces of lord-knows-what.

Please give tips asap.
