Quick tip if you go airdrop hunting : the 3-bt-g makes you loot 30% faster AND it lets you hear people better while looting

You know I just noticed something the keycard holder in tarkov is a ridge wallet

Great video as always! I just wanted to make a quick argument for L1. My buddy and I call it the "mini mule" because it gives +20 strength, which increases your weight limit by a little over 6 kilos. It also gives +10 endurance and +30 max stamina and a painkiller effect, which gives it one admittedly quite niche use case: Let's say you were in a pretty big fight and have a bunch a great loot which takes you over the point where you still regenerate stamina while walking. You could optimize your weight by dropping some stuff, unloading mags etc., but if either everything you have is pretty valuable so you don't really want to drop anything or you don't have the time to unload a bunch of 60 rounders, then L1 is absolutely perfect in these situations. It's extremely cheap, usually around 25k, and while it doesn't directly increase stamina regen, the +10 endurance does increase it a little bit and the +30 max stamina on top do noticeably increase your stamina POOL, so you can pop it, wait a few seconds to get regenerate to your new stamina maximum, and then book it to extract. The +20 strength allow you to still regenerate while walking, make you move a little faster overall, the bigger pool allows you to sprint for a little longer before having to walk, the +10 endurance also increase the regeneration (and the pool) a little, and you're also painkillered for the duration as a nice little bonus, saving you a goldenstar/ibu charge. So it all works really nicely together for those "done looting, time to book it to extract - ah damn i'm a bit overweight" moments. It costs only 25k, and it allows you to take let's say an extra helmet that you otherwise would have had to drop for weight reasons. Let's say a Bastion, that's I think about 60k at a vendor, so you just made 35k profit on top of the utility of the increased stats. Or let's say you otherwise would have had to pop a MULE instead, which is ~150k these days, so you even made 125k profit! The 2 minute duration is a little bit short, personally I would like to see that increased to 2.5 or 3 minutes, but you can make it work if you're mindful about it and plan accordingly. Depends a little on the map of course.

Sj1s and L1s are great as cheap mini mules. Your loaded up 60KG and 2 mins away from extract, cracking 1 giving you the slight edge on strength allowing you to walk without losing stamina.

SJ1 isn’t useless by any means. The massive increase to Strength and Endurance will give your PMC noticeably increased movement speed and jump height if your skill levels aren’t very high. I often use it as a way to close gaps and bound cover when I’m stuck out in the open or as a way to increase my jump height if my strength isn’t high enough to make certain skill jumps or to get into a cheeky angle. I also very often see “Rat Content Creators” use SJ1 to get into their sneaky spots like trees, raised corners, or the balconies on Streets.

3-(b-TG) is good if you are going on a loot speed run. The attention skill helps you search faster when in bags, boxes, bodies, or cabinets. The perception also helps you detect loot at longer distances. If your attention is already 20+, the extra 30 that the stim gives you pretty much maxes out your attention which allows you also instant search a container.

Trimadol gives a big boost to strength, so using it with SJ6 is a really nice way to get out of a raid if youre heavy and dont have an obdolbos 2

I just want to add that the surgery buff from eTG is another great reason to pop eTG over prop after a fight. If you have multiple limbs you need to repair you go from getting 20-30 hp back to 40-50 hp back. It's massive. I usually pop one if I get jacked up early in raid so I can continue onward and not have to push a reset extraction.

Adrenaline has been an underdog for a while and seeing it be pished into meta alongside many 9x18 and slug rounds getting a use with the armor rework has made this wipe do everything ive ever wanted tarkov to do

When I first started playing I didn’t know what any stim was and found some stims in raid got into a fight and just injected 3 of them I don't remember what they all were but i knew one was an obdodoblos cuz I instantly died and had no idea why. Lmao

early wipe I like to use the L1 if I find one as a budget MULE. If gives strength and endurance and max stamina. It wont help if you are deep in the red, but if you are just a few kilos past the point of regening when walking but you also dont wanna drop anything cause its early in the wipe and you need everything you can get, then its often a good way to get out alot faster, without spending 120k rubles on a stim

For the Carry Capacity Stims, Obdolbos 2 actually gives you a lot more then just 45% Weight Limit and is better then Mule, cause it also boosts your Strength for 20 for the Duration.. But Trimadol + SJ6 is also a great Combo if you dont want one of the other ones.

combination of trimadol + sj6 is a must have in a injector case, saved my ass many times before my my time that whas about to be up, and before cheaters that could hit my mask on night time woods multiple times but couldn't catch me up, this is the life-saver, no doubt

With M.U.L.E's no longer craftable I use SJ1s as a poor-man's MULE. It certainly helps and isnt as debilitating as Trimadol. Great and informative vid as always!

I use sj1 often. If i get to about 50rg+ and just want to keep some mobility but don't use sj6 - it's a good option .. 20-35k quiet good price when you already have 6 thic container + like 20 other fool of good stuff and 20 000 000 + and fully upgraded everything - it's just a tip for a taxi

Im pretty sure that Milk still gives Immunity 17:47

sj12 is a big stim always keep one or two in the inj case. good for if you get a blacked head and you don’t want to have to think about your energy take an sj12 your energy and hydration will go up at the cost of around 100k doubles.

sj6+trimadol does the same as m.u.l.e. (unless ur 80kg+) except u have way more stam, should also be considered for weight

Elite vitality means bleeds stop on their own. So if you're lvl 21 or higher vitality then p22 could be used for a cheaper bleed removal option since the +30 vitality should give you elite perks.

Ridge Wallet is basically the keycard holder from Tarkov.

amazing video! i was using only 3-4 stims usually - propital, sj6 and adrenalin. but usually have morphine and mule too, just in case

i have been running propital in my hotbar every raid since hitting flea and it has saved me many times but the pk effect after the fight is super annoying. especially with how crazy the prices are now, definitely thinking of switching to adrenaline.

How many days has this wipe been going for by now?

Weight carry capacity can be overcome easily with SJ6 and a Trimadol. I can be massively overweight and still sprint across the entire map no problem… why was this not mentioned?

Oh yeaaaa it's gigabeef here

Restricted ammo cases? What you mean also I have been waiting on my injector case for the quest but I am starting to realize it is locked behind set up so I went and grabbed on off flea this morning after having to drop a akm, a psu, a propane tank and a motor just to barely make it to the extraction on time with under a minute left in raid l after that i definitely said no more waiting I will spend the money 😂

This wipe I've been using goldenstar and ibuprofen nonstop, propital craft basically makes PKs free. Just play max saturation max brightness and PK effect doesn't matter that much

ever since they took out the PK effect from propatol for like 3 weeks I been using adrenaline as my go to pvp stim

Great vid, Great info!! Thanks

DONT SLEEP ON THE L-1 its a baby mule and sj6. the l-1 gives strength, endurance, stamina and acts as a PK for 2 minutes the strength is +20 and endurance +10 so you can carry that extra bit and run longer. its been my goto stim since tagilla was first added...

I was watching this in front of a friend who doesn’t play Tarkov and has very little understanding of it and during the part where you’re explaining the food recovery synergy he just goes “Wtf I feel like I’m in math class how do you enjoy this game???” 😂😂😂

I just the golden balm thing and I got max metabolism pretty quick next is going be vitality max

Tipp: dont use Goldenstar... Just Play with stims.. Nobody wanna Run around that Long with a disadvantage, youre Vision ist worst. They Change The Meta... So many Bush Campers and Rats already in The Game, If U Pre-med U get Killed way more often...

@gigabeef where did u get the keycards from

On painkillers always, no doubt. More times you will die because you can't run without legs than because you didnt saw something clearly on the edge of screen

UPDATE WITH NEWEST WIPE AS OF 2024, PAINKILLERS NO LONGER BLUR THE SCREEN AND INSTEAD GRAYSCALE IT

Buddy got the irl key tool

Great video, as always. Thanks bud

please do a profitable crafts for the hideout or a complete hideout guide !!

Sadly it's outdated, but It's a good video, if you ever decide to do it again, I'd love it

Is mule still worth using? Like you need to loot 160k additional rubbles and more to make it worth. Wasnt it cheaper sometime ago? Like 70k?

Very nice video. There is only one problem. You've got the math wrong on all healing stuff. For eg: if Etg-c heals you for 6.5hp/s it's each body part healing 6.5hp/s. That's 7x6.5hp/s for a potential maximum healing of 45,5hp/s, if ever body part gets healed. Still, the video is great 👍

Been using adrenaline this whole wipe for quick heals after fights

Personaly on every raid i carry propitals, Obdolbos 2, sj6, etg, zagustin

Combo SJ6 and TRIMADOL to run across the map in 2 mins. Combo propitol and adrenaline for insane healing

People who don’t value stim cases blow me away. Good vid dude

For the hp regens stims 1hp/sec, does it mean 1hp shared amongst whole body or 1hp regen per body part? And if it’s shared amongst whole body which would they prioritise first?

On the matter of leveling Immunity: I've been using croutons for their debuff in addition to Max Energy. Doesn't this work anymore, or is it just not worth the money?

do health regens stack? for example if I use a blue blood and adrenaline

Yo, quick question. While look7ng through your videos, you keep pulling up statustics that are pretty damn nice, where can i look at those and find more of the kind? Thanks in advance

Idk man, I actually don't mind the desaturation. I find it makes spotting EASIER for me since it kinda sharpens the outline of pmc's and scavs.

I dont care what your useing nothing beats the the raw power of chease and sprats

Remember to always drink your Max Energy!

1:19 is that found in raid? If not it’s still fine, I want that in my stash

Y’all notice the SJ12 isn’t available anymore?

bro has a red card irl that's a real flex

They need to sit down for a day and re-configure the skill levelling, currently its ridiculous what it takes get anything other than metabolism to elite.

i just add a filter to my game so when i pk it looks normal with the exception of the blurr

The new painkiller effect feels so bad to use now. I really hope they either go back to the old PK or find a new way to implement the PK effect.

Love your Videos

this is why aquafps dies so much. he never uses stims, and i imagine a lot of people basically spam stims for these buff combinations and can't be killed by normal means lmao.

yo this is a super nice video

Ridge walllleeeeet

Surprised you use CMS over Surv12

good video as usual but man i wish people would stop whining about the painkiller effect

SJ1 slander will not be tolerated

okay no lowering body temp is extremely useful, that is a must run stim for night players on woods and lighthouse in particular. that stim wins fights, they should absolutely not have their duration extended

I need a stim that makes u immune to headeyes by cheaters

I actually hate the new PK and I never found the old effect bad at all

Thank you for explaining this so stupid people like me can understand it 100% 😋

There was also some discussion I saw somewhere where obdolbos 2 sometimes kills you instantly outright on the spot after popping it, and the fear of this happening has made me stick to the M.U.L.E

You really missed a huge opportunity to talk about the single most important stim sj12. It has a perception buff, massive in fact, that with any decent coms you can hear anything moving across the map hundreds of meters from you, especially with com 4. Seriously, slam this med, and you instantly hear the map come alive and no one, excluding speed hackers can come up on you without your knowledge. Sure it's expensive, but what's 60k to have knowledge of everything for 10 mins

its 13.9 btw

Hayche P

Stims should be removed in a "hardcore realistic" game

Don't make my adrenaline expensive! Why gigabeef!?!

I still don’t get why i’d use stims outside of trying to farm rouges first, fights just don’t last that long, AI some scav with m80 two taps me every raid recently

20 minute video? For which stim to use? lol

Will we see a hk416 build guide? It’s rarely seen outside of labs but I like the gun but I don’t find a good balanced between Ergo/recoil 🫣
