So, yesterday I was bored(mad because I died five times in row) and decided to do gunsmith quest chain because I accumulated some money finally and was able to afford to do so. I was thinking it's going to cost me at least one to two mil rubles to finish them all.
From everywhere(YouTube, Reddit comments) people were saying that you should do gunsmith late in game.(for some reasons…)
What surprised me was that at the end I had much more money that I started with.
From gunsmith part 4 to part 15, I made about 1,6m rubles, few thousand euros and about 200,000+ experience, everything in one hour. Most of the money came from selling bitcoin(quest reward) to therapist for 251k/each (yesterdays price)..
For some chads this might seem extremely low, for me it was the most productive hour in tarkov ever….
So if you're new to tarkov and you're mid level (20-30) and you haven't done these quests yet, do it now. EFT wiki lists every weapon part for every quest, so it's quick and easy to do so.
Also recommend having skier at least at level 2, peacekeeper level 3, mechanic level 2, prapor level 2. This way you will be able to buy MOST of the parts with dealers and not overpriced flea. (but for more expensive items also check flea because sometimes price at flea is lower than dealers price)
