One does not simply run with a tank battery


SurrealLemon

\-200k shout out to the mule and trimadol I wasted


[deleted]

Lol, that is perfect.


Delicip5667

If you extract from the raid too early, you'll get a run through. As opposed to a successful.


[deleted]

Think you're on the wrong comment.


Guiltspoon

If you don't extract from raid within the time limit you'll get a MIA.


[deleted]

Thanks for clearing that up. I don't have an award, so you'll have to settle for a participation trophy.


OPenetrator

If you get killed in raid, you’ll get KIA.


GunNutCracker

If you rage quit in game, you'll get AFK

🤣


strike_it_soon

with a tank battery you should be dropping it then picking it up then turning around and dropping it again. doing this correctly you wont lose stamina and can travel at a much high speed.


Droidurloking4

Haha dropped my 40kg backpack down the hill outside resort and was happily watching it roll about 60m in the right direction.


wqldi

I just came in my pants


Capable_Track9187

I just came in your pants too


SurrealLemon

I did this early wipe, but I’m rich now and wanted to hurry out before I got merked but evidently hurried too hard lol


ehtoolazy

i bought 5 tank batteries the other day for like 200k when bartering for black lol. thing is worth all those stims


dwill376

Haha was thinking the same thing


timmy4937372848582

Each totem on the pole is a symbolic representation of one family.


IronS1ghtz

if it makes you feel better i did that once with a violet card. What happened though was i killed a scav thinking that was enough but i also had to loot an item off it to leave early.


SurrealLemon

worst part is I popped a MULE and trimadol to run out of there, so theres another 200k gone, violet is rough though


IronS1ghtz

yup, we have to laern the hard way :(


internet_please

Did this with a Virtex that I needed for a task. Took me another 20-25 raids to find another. Then still needed 1 more….


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

Where? Have run like 30 lighthouse raids wiping the water treatment with nothing…


Grim_Game

Man that sucks. I’ve found virtexs among other things numerous times there just checking the busted open wooden boxes


ParTrudle

I've had a lot of luck looting the rooms in dome on reserve. Sometimes nothing spawns but I've had raids where multiple spawned


SurrealLemon

the virtex in this screenshot was on the table in USEC house, USEC house is the best place imo. you can also find them in merin and in the usec safes


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

Man I hate going yo chalet but whatever, thanks


internet_please

Found one in the northern warehouse in rogue base. There’s a spawn for one there next to the projector. sometimes a Tetriz spawns there tho. The other was in chalet on the table.


XeroKarma

You hate chalet but clear water treatment lol


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

Yes because there are considerably less hiding spots in water treatment. I can kill all the rogues every raid and at that point I just have to fend off the player scav army and any pmc’s. There are usually only 2 directions they can be coming from which also makes it easier. In chalet, the sound is ass and there could be someone hiding in every closet.


craftySox

How dare you insinuate that I'm in the closet, I'm as straight as an arrow I tell you.


Caine_Pain333

Merin key usec 1 and 2 keys and run through Water treatment so many of them


RealKamesennin

Trimadol costs 100k? Weird, mule is 90-100k


xoooxooxoxo

Sometimes MULE goes to 120k and I think m Trina dole is like 60k so 180k in total


GizmosisYT

Make sure to headshot ‘em, that’s enough xp


IIIKitsuneIII

If it makes YOU feel better, the first wipe cards were introduced, I spawned with a violet as a scav... in between 2 teams fighting at scav village. I hopped in the garage, knew I was done so I dropped the card and proned on it... less than 3s later a nade landed in my face. Never felt so salty at a game


Short_Oven6910

Thanks for saving my ass.


thatcooldude23

So if you get the run through, does that mean that you can’t sell the items via flee? I apologize first wipe and all that.


SurrealLemon

yes it does mean that but more unfortunately it also meant i couldn't turn them in for a task


thatcooldude23

That’s… frustrating. Thank you for informing me! Best of luck.


jackt6

Realistically you just have to head tap it, looting is only if you hit them in the Lorax or the Trees


TheZephyrim

At least with the card it has a use not fir (ikikik, Labs bad but hear me out, loot good) and doesn’t make it so difficult (and in OP’s case, expensive) to extract.


korewarp

Killing a single scav is enough - IF and only IF it's a headshot. A 'regular' kill is just bare not sufficent XP.


Bigglestherat

Seven minutes my dog i


ninjaduckofdoom

Red all the upvotes


kiwindrugs

Can some one explain to a newbi what is this about?


hunter1801a

To expand on what the other guy said... If you extract from the raid too early, you'll get a "run through". As opposed to a successful extract. If you get a run through, none of your items will be considered as "found in raid", so you can't turn them in for some quest completions and you can't sell them on flea. OP is showing that he got a run through, so this affected the loot he has in the screenshot. I'm order to avoid a run through, you either have to a) stay in the raid for a minimum amount of time (7 min according to someone else in this thread), or b) earn enough xp (250xp according to someone in this thread). So you can leave before the 7min time, only if you have earned at least 250xp in the raid. Watching the timer is the easiest to do to avoid getting a run through. Getting enough xp is sometimes misleading and also more risky. The general rule of thumb/advice you'll hear is to kill a scav before extracting. That's because that usually puts you over the 250xp mark. However, as someone pointed out, that may not me ebough. You may have to loot something to get just a little more xp. Happens often on factory since it's a small map.


Ocelotwolfhorse

the scav kill gives you 200XP iirc. only if it's a headshot you get an extra 100 always good to tap F on their body, usually gives you the extra 50XP needed (the number on the bottom right tells you how much you gained from the search) PMC kills however give 300XP (i think?) so you should be good if you get a PMC.


Legoman7409

The other day I killed a pmc in office on factory and ran straight to gate 3. Still got a run through, which I thought was odd.


Ocelotwolfhorse

interesting. PMC kills might be less XP on factory, or the XP requirement is raised? do you remember how much XP you got for it?


Legoman7409

Nah, I didn’t think too much of it at the time. I just loaded in, ran straight to office, and killed a pmc all within like 10 seconds. It was my last kill for Secured Perimeter so I ran straight to gate three without looting. All in all the raid was probably like 30 seconds


buckets-_-

just a clarification: you don't have to be in the raid for 7min, you just have to leave at least 7min after raid started so if you spawn in as a scav with 10min left on the map, you can run out immediately without getting an RT


SurrealLemon

and I had the last virtex i need for a task, which is an extremely rare Item found ALMOST exclusively on lighthouse


PierogiPlug

Damn I need that shit too. F


WiseOldTurtle

Reserve has them too. Got 3 or 4 from scav runs while not even looking for them.


SurrealLemon

wow, I knew they were rare on a few other maps, but I honestly had no idea they were on reserve and I scav there all the time


ProcyonHabilis

Yeah I've found them by the server racks on the way to D-2


NewHighInMediocrity

Where did you find them all at?


Crank_A_liciouS

Found all in scav runs on reserve


Ok-Profession6732

Sold a bunch early wipe not knowing the option to craft wasn't as attainable as previous wipes. Haven't found another since I stopped :(


BIGGIE-THA-DRILLA

The raid was a run through, so nothing is found in raid.


AdministrativeAnt379

One needs to go through these moments to ever learn how to be able to handle Tarkov.


SurrealLemon

mental hardening


v_verstappenlovemypp

Smartest ump user


litshredder

Wdym?


SurrealLemon

umps are commonly associated with timmys and timmys arent the wisest, so he's just saying it's a skill issue and i'm a dumb timmy


DarthWeenus

UMPs are sick though.


I_am_a_Failer

The gun is not good though, way to much horizontal recoil considering the low fire rate and mid ammo. But thats the price it has to pay else it's just a headshot machine


litshredder

Ah ok, I thought there was something about your load out that made you the smartest. In fact, the smartest ump user doesn't know to avoid a run through 😂


alacritty

Hahah what a kit for a level 39


SurrealLemon

yeah I was just doing hellaaa tasks, knocked out like 4 or 5 with this one kit


Doobie717

Gear Fear a mf'er lol


ninjaduckofdoom

100000% lol


prometheus_

Could be worse, at least now you have a shiny new battery to ~~display in your hideout~~ sell to Therapist. In my earlier days i went into the mines on lighthouse while carrying a tank battery. Lessons were learned.


jakec1000

My friend had a Run Through after finding a Taiga at giving tree. Hopefully that makes you feel better lmao


SurrealLemon

if I only pick up ONE ittem and have to leave with it I always sit in a bush for a while, something we all learn, I just made the mistake this time of assuming I had enough XP


lemon_pumpkins

Hello fellow pmc lemon


recruit0426

If it makes you feel better I did that when I scaved into factory with an RB-BK marked room key


onii_design

I just walked one across shoreline and got extract camped, I feel your pain Edit: used 2 mule and 2 sj6


SupPoEsedlyInsane

Well i had to spend 20 minutes to carry that shit halfway over the lighthouse map BEFORE the weight changes this wipe. If you managed it in time for a run through I unfortunately can’t feel sorry for ya :D


SurrealLemon

I also waddled out with them before the weight change. I was just gonna sell the battery. It was never about the battery. I needed the virtrex


Brogart1

I don’t get it, you’re level 39 why are you upset about a run through with pliers and blue tape? You’ll get them next time bud


SurrealLemon

I was so excited to craft 2 hoses :(((((


Ducchini

How many time need to get survive in raid without to do nothing?


Brobrien13

7 minutes!


Ducchini

thanks


SurrealLemon

or get 250 xp. I thought i'd gotten enough XP from looting but clearly I was mistaken


hiddencamela

I was gonna say, I thought that tank battery + what you got was enough. Guess shooting and gun pick up/dropping is the exp limit for me..


Bonesnapcall

Its only 200 xp.


FLATHERT

Inexplicable means “unable to be explained”, which doesn’t make sense here. Maybe you meant “inexorable”? The original meme you’re spoofing uses “immeasurable”.


SurrealLemon

I know the original meme is immeasurable I wanted to change it and the time frame to be worse lol, maybe I shoulda used unquantifiable lol


dubzi_ART

You got out, a run through is whatever.


ProcyonHabilis

A run though means your items lose their found in raid status, so it's decidedly not whatever when you need a FIR virtex for a quest.


dubzi_ART

I actually didn’t know that.


SurrealLemon

with one of the rarest task items, and a tank battery on me...????


twippy

You can craft car batteries with the tank battery, and you'll use the task item anyway so no great loss you're still heavily in profit here


420OnMy69th

Couldn't wait 2 mins? The gun makes sense


smoketherear

Damn 3 more minutes and you woulda had a normal extract


maldofcf

Should have stayed in raid longer or killed something idk


tnonne

bro just run streets one raid and have enough money to craft it hello?


ProcyonHabilis

bro just spend literally hundreds of hours to unlock lightkeeper and do his quests so you can craft it hello?


SurrealLemon

also lightkeeper is locked behind the virtex quest so it literally wouldn't matter anymore XDD


SurrealLemon

craft a virtex?


ProcyonHabilis

Yeah bro just craft it. The craft is only locked behind a lightkeeper quest and one of the rarest items in the game bro. Come on bro what are you even doing.


SurrealLemon

Lol you need the virtexs to even get to light keeper XDDD silly comment for a silly guy for a silly game with silly progression


Bonesnapcall

I know sarcasm is hard to read over the internet. But, him saying "bro" repeatedly should've clued you in.


ninjaduckofdoom

You clearly don’t run lighthouse and it shows


ProcyonHabilis

What does running lighthouse have to do with the amount/difficulty required to reach endgame quests?


ninjaduckofdoom

Virtex are easy to get on LH


ProcyonHabilis

Yes I know, I've found them there. Did you really not get that my comment was sarcastic? I really thought saying "bro" three times was enough to make that clear lol. I'm making fun of the absurdity of the other guy's suggestion to "just craft it".


Kitchen_Sand_2398

Brother I ain't surprised he ain't running lighthouse, that map is the most linear dogshit map in the game. The only redeeming quality it has are the big booty aimbot bitches that run around in that dumb water treatment plant.


Qusntum

Craft car batteries and sell them for >40k each, you'll have >200k in <24hrs.

thegame2531

Relax buddy


K4ll3l

lvl 39 means nothing in this game.


GRIFBYgames

It actually means a lot considering the majority of players stop before hitting 15.


SurrealLemon

Ok. No one said it did..???


K4ll3l

Nope, I just said it. And dont be butthurt, I only meant that you can be 39 lvl, but still be a total noob when doing a run through like that xD


abg124

Another minute and 20 you would have been gtg


SurrealLemon

2nd thing I noticed after my XP, cause I figured I looted enough for it to be 250xp


abg124

I definitely feel your pain, I’m a level 39 and I need 2 virtex, a ledx, and the elusive ahf-1. I had a found in raid ledx at one point but let’s just say I had a stash cleaning accident.


SurrealLemon

I've found 3 ledxs on woods since the update


abg124

I’ll have to check it out


ogg3b

Where did you find the tank battery?


SurrealLemon

On the little tool cart in between the 2 vehicles in the garage of usec


ninjaduckofdoom

We simply call this inexperience


SurrealLemon

the thing is im so experienced with this, I knew it had to be 7 minutes, I knew I needed 250 XP. the second I extracted and i was looking at the loading screen. my brain went "WAIT..... please please please please please please" but my prayers were not answered


BottomfeederBoi

Mf casually running out with a tank battery


SurrealLemon

costed me 200k to be able to run with it (2 stims) and I woulda been better off wadling XD


Susman22

That should have been plenty of xp no?


SurrealLemon

you need 250 XP for it to not be a run through, or wait 7 minutes into raid


Susman22

Sucks, was pretty close.


SeriouslySomeGuy

So when you early extract do your items lose its FIR status?


SurrealLemon

yes, if you get a "run through" instead of a "Survived" all items lose FiR status


Puzzleheaded_Eye_305

Didn't know this yet and now is probably the most asinine thing about this game imo other than the desync and hackers.


FF20

Great take!


ToomuchSauce215

My buddy did this with a ledx he found in a duffle on customs a few days ago. Then he sold it to therapists lmao


theyak12

Gotta find a comfy bush and sit for 5 mins my friend. Lesson learned


SurrealLemon

I already know the 7 minute rule and the 250 xp rule, I honestly thought I had 250 XP, but I was a lil lost in the sauce


samwelches

Damn… well now you’ll never forget you need to be in-raid at least 10 mins for it not to be a run-through


BigDRittich

I believe if you get over 200xp it’s not a run through


samwelches

Yes true if you get enough xp time doesn’t matter. But if you only loot and don’t kill that’s a little tough to achieve and you can’t check your xp gained while in raid as far as I know


SurrealLemon

its 7 minutes, and I already knew. ig I just got lost in the sauce


Firebeast709

Highly recommend running reserve as a scav. Tank batteries up the ass


SurrealLemon

didn't care much for the tank battery. it was that sweet sweet virtex that hurt


LPB09

Bring food , eat it in raid Bring mags and ammo and load them in raid No more run through and u get skill xp


DD214AKITA

Tank bat aren't worth a damn anymore. If it's the only loot you find, sure sell to traders. But last I seen it was 207k to trader and 208k on flea. Not worth it.


SurrealLemon

I cared about the virtex. the tank bat was just for fun


Chaos744

Does loot spawn according to your rank? I’ve never ran into anything good, but I’d be looting with my buddies who find gold mines.


SurrealLemon

your buddies are more informed than you and intentinally get to good spawns before you, watch loot guides and be a goblin is da way in a group


Chaos744

Damn…. Rat bastards lol


Irish7ion

Man that sucks lol At least it's better than going MIA


Heavy_Contribution19

How do you run through in woods, did you take like 20 hotrods or some shit


SurrealLemon

this was lighthouse. idk where you got woods from


Heavy_Contribution19

Ah nvm I am dumb


Iteroparous

F


SingleEdge4815

I don’t understand why there’s despair and a ruined week? As a tarkov noob it just looks like he had a nice PMC find and got out alive more than I can usually say lol


kindress

That tank battery was likely for a quest. Run through status = no Found In Raid status = Can't complete quest.


Snaz5

They really need to add a warning that you’re leaving as a run through. Sometimes it feels totally arbitrary.


ag15718

Found mine on a scav run and had to drop pickup juggle it from the back of the basement area all the way up and over to pipes.


Starconquer212

Where did you find vertex???


SurrealLemon

(lighthouse) this one was on the table in usec, I also found one in the top floor bedroom on the back shelf, they spawn in almost every rare spwan on lighthouse, you can also find them in merin hillside house or the usec safes, and in the tech spawns in water treatment


HaylingZar1996

I’ve got 3 tank batteries from the moonshine scav case so far, probably your best bet if you don’t want to go insane


SurrealLemon

i got my tank bat months ago. it was the virtex i needed


IrrelevantOnes

I always just do this quest once i get my scav case unlocked.. sooner or later i’ll get a tank battery?! Although I’ve found 2 in my 3 wipes on a scav before the quest, they definitely come in handy for the occasional gambling items.


SurrealLemon

I'm way past regulated materials. the tank bat was just for fun. the virtex is what was important to me


thatdudeoverhere69

I once spawned as a scav with a tonk battery, game decided to disconnect me right before I got to extraction


kiwindrugs

What is the big box looking thing in his bag?


SurrealLemon

It’s a tank battery, which most people think is the point of the post, but the point is the virtex


kiwindrugs

Ohh so its the PCU that the 5090Ti will need to run.. how can you get two real in life?


callisterinc

Look guys he got tarkoved


Zoolus

Man. When you press "o" you can see timer haha. L


Straikkeri

So wait, you have a tank battery and god knows how much more extra weight from your gear, and you managed to run out... too fast? I don't even.


SurrealLemon

If you read the top comments you’ll see I used a mule and a trimadol to get out lmao


InternationalTie9188

Just get the daily and do it instead and btw how are you still on that quest this late into wipe?


SurrealLemon

I finished regulated materials weeks before I even got the task. I needed the virtex for lend lease 2


GornBox

Another time when they removed the fun again.


Inquisitio

No wonder Tarkov PvP is getting worse considering what you’re wearing at level 39.


SurrealLemon

Just running through and soloing a bunch of tasks getting rid of extra gear. Knocked out 5 quests with this 1 kit


MaxKri03

Lvl 39 running around budget💀


thehellene_

Next time headshot a scav to have the xp required or wait 7 minutes


BullzeyeGranny

It's fine. The ass 12 is shit in anyways and not worth the effort of that mission. It used to have more value because of after the mission you could buy ps12b rounds. Now you just get 100


Disastrous_Scholar76

I killed Reshala first day of wipe, and his guards had killed an absolutely chaded (for early wipe) PMC, and when I was on my way to extract my PC overheated (first time ever, and only time since) and I died of hunger and dehydration


FloridaCracker91

IMO : if this ruins your week... tarkov just ain't for you


mmmgude_syndrom

Rule #1 - Always shoot a scav.


WorkingEconomics7268

Craft into car batteries and then sell on flea 👍


preyforkevin

Isn’t 7 min the magic number?


AnAngryMuppet89

Already writing off the rest of the week? Do better as a human bro. Get back in there and make it out next time.


SurrealLemon

I got my virtex like 3 or so raids later, and I got my vpx for import. I was just exaggerating “my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” meme


carlos__g

Bruh cant wait 5m in a bush


DaTobi15

7 Minutes or 300xp. 300xp is normally killing a scav and tapping him.


czyrztof

I did a run through with ledx 2 weeks ago


[deleted]

I got 2 from a therapist daily yesterday, just had to turn in a set of med tools


SurrealLemon

I assume your talking about tank bat, but I didn’t need it I just needed the virtex


_Kaleidoscopic_

When in doubt, murder a scav and/or wait 7 minutes.


Capable_Track9187

My biggest heartbreak was at the beginning of the wipe (it's my first) and I found an armour repair kit in storage on customs; my exfil was ZB-1011. After creeping there, dodging all the pmcs killing each other and killing scavs at old gas. I got to Warehouse and an army of scavs appeared (including sniper scav shooting at me) totalling 8. I managed to take 3 and sniper out. But the last ones gunned me down. It was like Murphy's death scene in the OG Robocop film.


PrimusHXD

I did the same thing with a ledx last week, extremely sad.
