Fun fact for Red Rebel extract, if you have regular armor and not an armor rig you can drop it then right before you fully extract, pick it back up around .5 seconds left and you extract with your armor
Reserve is easily the best money making map on PVE. The amount of drawers is just insane, and you rarely run into AI. I usually loot up the closest building i spawn by, then Queen, Bunker, and get out at D2. Also that computer by the safe down there be paying out lately.
I've been farming reserve a lot, i usually will go to the top of the dome and loot that whole area, (i might also loot the little checkpoing fence building that has the two drawers in it) but i loot the locked doors and everything and go down below and loot everything up until i reach the destroyed boards area before it sections into the main underground area, ive done about 50 runs so far and not once have i ever ran into another pmc or scav, I used bring a full kit with a rifle, couple spare mags, a side arm, meds etc, then i ditched my weapons, mags and ammo, for a single side arm and an armored rig helmet and everything and then cut down even more so idont even bring an armored rig anymore or helmet cause it weighs me down, and have also skimped out on carrying meds as well, i just have a kitted glock with a 50 rounder and thats all. i pull out about 2.5-3.5mil each raid and its about 15-20min. Down below has some really good stuff, since the d2 extract has all those duffle bags and jackets, across from that is that safe room with tool boxes all over up and below and some loose tech spawnes before leading to the safe room in the room which has a safe and 2 filing cabinets. that destroyed wooden board area further in i can usually find motors and water filters, the just head back up to loot the dome, the dome itself is kinda hit or miss sometimes i get lucky and will get 3 sg-03 military things in one raid and a military power filter, other times ill open the locks and there literally wont be a single thing, not even a tool box, but several other locked rooms in the dome have guarnteed 2-3 drawers so that more than makes up for it. I prioritize my loot to be over 30k a slot and am usually able to fill completely up while hitting that threshold, so things like lions, clocks, cat statues, i just throw away since they cant get that high. Edit: honestly i kinda think they need to add more pmcs and scavs in this area, its kinda nuts how much of the underground area has no enemies at all. Im not over exagerating when i say in over 50 raids I have NEVER NOT ONCE met an enemy in the dome area and the entire undground area below the dome even through d2 extract all the way until the broken boads area that bends into the main power switch area and even then ive actually never bothered to check if there are enemies even around the next bend to the right right after that right cause im usually so full that theres no point. but yea about 1/3rd of the underground has 0 pmc and scav spawns
Similar experience here, been power running Reserve lately and the dome and D-2 areas are enough to stack up raid backpacks and extra rigs with zero AI risk, I often fill some rigs, drop them off at D-2 and run back to the tech and med buildings and only pickup Stims, Hideout and Barter items of high value along the way. I run the RD-704 for some fun because you can play with the PMCs and Raiders underground when they do spawn and wander down. Sometimes run into scav gangs by the switch for some easy XP, though it can slow you down if loot is your sole goal. Train side spawn is annoying, but most other spawns play out pretty easy where you can easily engage or avoid PMCs at your choice.
@@colonelcarrot4485 hmm, i might start doing that too, cause ill admit it is kinda getting boring and taking a little extra risk might for more loot might keep it more exciting, ive also been keeping rigs in my bag to fill and i never thought to dump them out by the extract to save space and save time from weight. ill give this a try next time i hop on. I'm not really sure why i keep doing these runs tho, i dont need the money i think its just nice and theraputic to do after a day at work, just to see that you got something high value and made virtual money off it is whats nice, but yea imma try to extend out a bit to like what your doing.
I got a tip from a UA-camr for the scavs you check: the exp you get from checking a body relates to the value of the loot so if you get 60-80 xp it’s probably trash, but if it’s 100+ he might have something worth checking out
The fact you ran Reserve 3 times on a loot challenge and did not once hit drop down for a GPU is crazy.. Always back to back raids pullin GPUs, You could of just run that 1 room about 5-6 times in an hour and made 7-8 mil with little to no up-front cost or key use.
Honestly i find Drop down inconsistant as fuck..this wipe ive gotten like 1 good item from it (an Iridium ircc) the rest its been things like LCD's and Helix's and other basic tech items
Yeah Reserve is the nuts for PvE. However keep you head on a swivel. The last few days I have noticed the AI PMCs seem to move around the map a lot more than they did even a week ago. BSG is definitely tweaking stuff.
Why didnt you take pmc rigs they give more space and are worth a decent amount especially both the ones from the first two you killed gluhkar is also a very profitable boss his guards can have lvl 6 or 5 plates which you cant buy on flea also ammo spawns are very profitable and useful you can sell up to 42 pen on flea
For those who are curious about the profit if you subtract the cost of the keys. RB-BO = 910k for 1 use (1.8m total) RB-BK = 1.1m for 1 use (3.3m total) So if we subtract the price for opening marked rooms, we are left with 500k profit 🙂
100% he glossed over that with the "you can trade them into a dorms marked" ... yeah but it still cost per opening. Honestly if he would have just skipped those rooms he would have been better off.
You're forgetting that you trade in this total into a dorms marked room key at the end for 22m your getting 2.2m back per run and we didn't get a key from the room or any high value loot so its basically breaking even
@@NutshellExperience You only need 3 keys for Reserve, RB-SMP, RB-KSM and RB-KORL, All other main spawns are free, Drop Down room is probably the most profitable room on the whole map, I can easily clear 500k a run from just that room plus the high GPU chance meaning I often even get double spawns. The med rooms are good for a LedX chance but its low. Other then RB-KORL all safes on reserve are free and often pay out better then most drawers. Unless you are directly key farming drawers are most defiantly not the most profitable thing on reserve, And if you were to key farm streets is by far the better option.
Factory has made me about 2 mil roubles per hour on pve. Not fantastic but damn it's fun. And if I can get tagilla in one or 2 of thise raids it's around 3 to sometimes 4 mil. It's Insane. I just run a semi auto shotty with 7mm buckshot and click heads. You should def try it. Its super fun
I've found 3 marked keys in jackets off shorline and 1 in drawers off of ground zero in the last week, been decent return with them. The cult circle is great too, I just throw in 5 rat colas or streamer items and it's a 12 hour or more timer, out of 5 times I've gotten over 2 mill on 3 of them the other 2 still gave me over a million.
RB-BO = 910k for 1 use (1.8m total) RB-BK = 1.1m for 1 use (3.3m total) So if we deduct the price for opening marked rooms, we are left with 500k profit 🙂
This run is a 4/10 you are missing the max potential of this map. Focus on the building with drop down then to dome and run down into D2 area much faster runs and about 10x the value

Same for the sewer manhole
Same with the "no backpack" extract
@@John_3_16 dude W comment I never thought to do that with those extracts
@@letspretendmm I didn't know either until I saw someone else's comment
That is goated, thank you

I had no idea you could take the red rebel extract wearing an armored chest rig. Hell yeah, learned something. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
I still recommend Labs as the best money maker. It surely can be risky sometimes, but even without keycards i pull millions out of each raid

Why didnt you pause the timer between raids? the timer should only run for raids, not for while you empty out/resupply!
Why didnt you take pmc rigs they give more space and are worth a decent amount especially both the ones from the first two you killed gluhkar is also a very profitable boss his guards can have lvl 6 or 5 plates which you cant buy on flea also ammo spawns are very profitable and useful you can sell up to 42 pen on flea
Ffs…. I have run Reserve all week hitting all the spots for a tank battery and you find it in a dead Scav…

are the ai better now? will ai pmc fight with scavs and bosses now?
Yes

Also you have to subtract how much each use of those marked keys was from your profits they arnt free keys or cheap keys
RBVO is 6.5 mil

How do you get Glukhar not to spawn
This fucker spawns in every raid im doing on Reserve
Usually he’s loud I just try to avoid him. If he’s at heli you’re usually just fucked
@@iceveracity8221turns out this fucker is only there in my pmc Raids
In scav runs he's nowhere to be seen
