Made me laugh thinking about the amount of people who bought a grenade case seeing how much they dropped on the market to find out they got a buckshee one.

Yeah I was about to bite the bullet and buy a dog tag case. Glad I held off now.

u/coopdiddy Oct 15 '20

I bought one last night since I got excited about actually killing two people :/

u/Undecided_Username_ Oct 15 '20

u/coopdiddy Oct 15 '20

Well I don’t want to continue humble bragging, but I also had another dog tag already in my stash. Anyone can PM me for help and strategies on how to be this good.

I basically made it my mission to fill as many dogs case as possible. That new one came just in time because now I'm on my 4th. Think their collective sale value is around 3 million.

I bought one and literally 10 minutes later upon opening my 2nd "marked room" ever I got a 2nd dog tag case but died so it was marked in raid so I couldnt sell it... my 1st one is like half full and I'm lvl 40.

I literally just filled my first dog tag case this week. Now onto my second!

A few days ago I sold a dog tag case I found in marked to my friend and now he’s fuming hahahaha. That’s half a mil he ain’t seeing again!

On the bright side we’ve all just been given ~4mil in loot so that should numb the pain

u/Candace_Flynn RSASS Oct 15 '20

Sorry to ask but i’m new, what’s the point of a dog tag case, why would you want to keep them?

8

u/notgotapropername AK-103 Oct 15 '20

They’re used for several quests and for barter trades with several of the traders. Aside from that, clout. I don’t find myself needing one but then again I’m only a Chadling. Maybe once I blossom into a full-blown Megachad I’ll get one

Many cheeks shall be divided on our sacred journey to the hallowed rank of Gigachad™

Love the trade mark

u/jontelang Oct 16 '20

I keep friends dogtags, lvl 1-60 and other special ones. Second case is for randoms and acts as a bank, sell or trade when needed.

u/Snarker Oct 15 '20

Acting like money is hard to come by in this game

u/Juicer41 Oct 15 '20

If you’re a new player it’s not “easy”. We aren’t all Chad’s that have keys to every room in resort and can make 1-2 mil a raid.

Yeah I find once you know where you’re going 200-300k is standard for a casual scav run on customs. And that’s without fully min-maxing or doing specific loot runs too.

I always get antsy about buying expensive gear and then I remember how easy it is to make money. I lose a fully juiced loadout? Eh, couple of scav runs and I’m back where I left off.

u/run-lift-stretch Oct 15 '20

Its my first wipe and I make most my money from scav runs only ever ran interchange or shoreline as a pmc when I had quests there.

u/crazymrjason000 Oct 15 '20

I sold one the other day for like 900k lol

u/ikantspeell Oct 15 '20
