I see a lot of rats on this sub, so I thought I'd make a little guide on how to make money playing all geared up, since it's fun as hell.
Invest invest invest, INVEST YOUR MONEY. You should never ever have a dragons horde of gold in your stash, no one is paying you to have 10mil in rubles, but 10mil in keys is gonna make you a whole lot of cash. A big source of income for Chad's is clearing packs of rats rushing key rooms. After everyone's dead, claim your loot.
Playing in a team is fun, but not for profits. I personally play solo with occasional duos. It's fun to play in teams but theres just not enough loot to divide things up if you're all running raid backpacks. Try running a few maps duo or even solo
Greed is good. The thing about running a lot of kits is you'll still die a good bit, that's inevitable, however what all that gear facilitates you to do is fill your backpack and take fights that will get you access to hotspot areas and expensive gear from bodies. Losing 2 500k raids is fine if you make 1.2mil on the 3rd.
Play aggro, not dumb. I always clear players first on maps, then loot. Once most of everyone is dead, I relax and hit my key rooms. When I'm going to fights though I still stop to listen, and even wait for people sometimes though. Pushing a mosin scav who's holding an angle isnt smart play, popping a couple grenades in then flanking is.
Dont splurge on your weapon, then skimp on utilities. If you spend 40k for 1% recoil then only take 1 or 2 nades, you're absolutely doing something wrong. The couple nades will save you in a pinch.
Playing chad is a mindset, not a gearset. One of my favorite things to do is run up labs with a Uley rig, MP7, a couple nades, and a headset no helmet. I've had some amazing runs and killed many geared players running this. Just play aggro, go for kills, and use your head, and it'll work out more than you think. Running budget/efficient can still be running chad
The rats fear you, show them why
I hope this helps
