Only to buy more GPUs, trade more crypto, and then sell you my dirty smelly crusty-thermalpaste mined GPU with only one fan working for the same price or more I got it for.

It was factory as I was still new to the game, I had no idea what was going on, but I managed to rat attack some geared guy, went to loot him and found a kitted rpk. Not knowing what it was and assuming the space gun to be worth something, I bolted to the exit and left my 2 friends to die, netting me an easy 100k. That was the moment I realized that I was a rat.

      No hate here my ratty friend. I usually stick it out until I get 1 expensive item. But if I spawn in with a labs keycard, I run right to the extract. I got lucky 1 time when I downed a player who ALSO had a keycard. It was epic.

    • @robinthomasg6240
      @robinthomasg6240 2 роки тому +1

      If you got a rich account that is basically pretending like you dont have an money..
      To give an idea, I will at he beginning of a wipe do so many scav runs that my stash is worth at the very least +50 mil, this raid I made it a 100 even.
      By that time the PMC has lvl 6 armor and at least a few kitted m4s and at least some decent ammo, whole set of nades, big backpacks, etc etc.
      Im definitely no chad, but I dont know if I qualify for rat.. I think Im a bit in between.
      For me its all about survival rate, so I dont pick fights if I dont have to (sounds like a rat), but to do hatchet or pistol runs, this is something I only did first wipe. PMC goes out fully or doesnt go out at all. (sounds more like chad, since the thought of going out with several mils worth of gear probably is not so tempting to the pure rat), my playstyle is more close to a milsim, one where im trying to be as sneaky as I can. When hiding I will try to just let enemies pass, except AI scavs (this doenst sound like a rat or a chad, I guess a rat would take easy shots whenever they could, chad would just go in and fight), even if I get a clear shot. I dont like to fight dirty, (sounds a bit chaddish) but I get a immense kick every time im hiding and ppl are passing by me few inches away. (sounds again a bit ratish). Sometimes they even run against you and never had a clue you were there. Love it!
      Only one moment when I know Im chadding is when I see extract campers. That lame stuff pisses me of. Ideally I will take the extract and just try to hold it till the last bit from the exvil camper in hopes of getting him a MIA, if I know that wont work due to situation or simply cause its failing il just try to kill the filthy rodent. This last part sounds a bit chaddish again.
      My main focus is looting, even as a PMC and questing. So this sounds more like a raat I guess.
      I think im a bit a hybrid, depending on the specific situation.. :p

He saw something and had his bow drawn all the way back and just before he let go his buddy jumped up in front of him and yelled, "HEY DAVE!" and spooked him so he shot him in the head with an arrow. The kid survived and the doctor said if he hadn't had his wool beanie cap rolled up like he did and the arrow penetrated another couple millimeters he would have died.

      Same, I'm still low level, but rat hardcore. Yesterday I did a scav run, had a labs keycard on spawn, and literally ran to the exit on customs. In and out in 4 minutes didn't fire a shot, I don't even think I saw another person.

      @@rowmaster6894 Thats the true rat test. I've spawned with a lab card twice. Both times i got to the extract as soon as i could. That is the way of the rat.

    When you said that about the docs case and how you‘d go for some kills as long as you‘re profiting… That really made me think about the found in raid system.

    Possibly the most informative (in regards to playstyle) and entertaining Tarkov vid I've seen. Looking into picking up the game so I've been checking out YT vids and I'm glad I found you! New sub!

    I mean the name of the game is 'escape from Tarkov'. It's not really an escape if you're in a body bag after being tea bagged.
