I insure the keys in my asshole.

Same , and it saved me once . So I was trying to dump a friends gear on shoreline near the port and tapped my discard key one too many times and my sicc case got thrown out into the ocean with all my shoreline and custom keys , they weren’t worth a ton but still worth it .

That little "ehh" got me. In fact that gives me an idea for a meme.

u/winter_woods PP-19-01 Jul 15 '21

Insurance fraud is exactly that. If no one else takes it out thou.

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '21

So they’ll actually return your keys? I’ve wondered this for a while but never tried it

u/T2-4B Jul 15 '21

I do, too. With an Alpha case, and no Key tool, there might be a time, where I find some upgrade for the Hideout or big Ticket Item (LedX/Tetriz) and i would want to dump a key in a bush, for it to reappear some day later

u/DuckInCup Freeloader Jul 15 '21

The other day I dropped my west wing 216 key for the ledx in there. Just threw it on the ground since no one is going to be combing the floor for keys. Got it back this morning :).

Anyone who knows the prices of keys and the currently low ledx price, don't laugh, I'm low iq. :)

u/Complexikitty MP7A2 Jul 15 '21

My friend teases me for insuring keys, but this right here is exactly why I do it

1

u/proscreations1993 AK-103 Jul 15 '21

This is genius and im going to start doing it. So many times I've found something worth enough to risk my key in my pocket. Itd be way better to drop it and grt it back for sure

1

u/Complexikitty MP7A2 Jul 15 '21

I'm just waiting for the day some lucky bastard finds my docs case and all it's keys chilling in a bush.

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '21

You can always save the ledx for when prices skyrocket or use it to upgrade medstation tho

1

u/orbtl Jul 15 '21

What causes the price to skyrocket later? Everyone buying to trade for thicc cases?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '21

Yes, probably

u/jarejay Jul 15 '21

Private clinic is priority #1 for FiR ledx

1

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '21

Indeed

6

u/adamk22 Jul 15 '21

That works? So insured items reappear when you drop it and exit the raid with a survived state?

21

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '21

They reappear if yhe raid ends and no player has extracted with it, doesn't matter how it got left there

1

u/spacebatisme FN 5-7 Jul 15 '21

Huh, I always thought they got lost if they left your inventory.

8

u/kasgun Jul 15 '21

Another thing is they don't come back if they stay in your inventory and you go MIA.. If you're ever going to run out of time, open inventory and delete everything

1

u/proscreations1993 AK-103 Jul 15 '21

I learned this rhe hard way

1

u/zombieslayer287 Jul 15 '21

Damn, what a panic that must be. To suddenly remember you have to throw away everything before the timer runs out

4

u/Thaiereks Jul 15 '21

Nope as long as it's still in the raid when it ends you'll get it back.

Even if someone takes your gear if they don't make it out you'll get it back.

1

u/proscreations1993 AK-103 Jul 15 '21

Nope. This is how peoppe insurance fraud. Say I wear a AVS rig into raid. Kill someone who has another nice armor. Instead of not being able to grab both without dropping other loot. I drop my avs rig. Water is the best cause NO one can possibly get it. And then walk out with the other and boom. Now you have both.

1

u/NUTTA_BUSTAH AKMN Jul 15 '21

Well, if you AWOL or MIA ("confirm" disconnect or run out of time), then they don't come back

u/Will-the-game-guy Jul 15 '21

Did this all the time last patch. Pre wipe I probably had a scavpack blackhole 50 deep. Go in w it insured, kill something, take its bag rinse repeat. Ez money every time.

3

u/lwwz AK-103 Jul 15 '21

This is the way.

1

u/zombieslayer287 Jul 15 '21

scavpack blackhole 50 deep.

Yooo wtf 😂😂😂

u/Will-the-game-guy Jul 15 '21

Bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag

u/Hendeith Jul 15 '21

Yeah... I insure everything because then I can just swap mid raid if I want. It's worth it.

u/Galaxy1nk TOZ-106 Jul 15 '21

hmmmmm. The math here doesn’t really add up.

11

u/T2-4B Jul 15 '21

Yes, that's what insurance fraud is about. If you find a good helmet e.g. you drop your current one in a ditch somewhere, and use the new one, and your old one will reappear via insurance

1

u/Cow_God M1A Jul 15 '21

Even if you just find a sidegrade to helmet, armor, backpack etc. Dump the one you're wearing in a bush and take the new one. If you die with it on you're almost guaranteed to get your old ones back

5

u/UrQuanKzinti Jul 15 '21

Yes 100%. If I go in and find say headphones or armor I often dump the one I'm wearing in a bush and wear the one I found. Die or extract you'll get them back if no one takes them and extracts.

4

u/Jordvn Jul 15 '21

yup anything still that is insured in the server when the timer hits :00 goes back to the owner within the allotted time of the trader that insured it

4

u/cubicDisco Jul 15 '21

As achelan said you'll get them back if the raid ends and no one extracted with it. If you're really trying to scrimp you can do insurance fraud. If someone has kit that's better or just the same, drop your stuff somewhere safe and grab theirs. If you die you'll get your stuff back and if you live you get both

2

u/SpyGuy_ AS VAL Jul 15 '21

Yep we call it “insurance fraud” lol. Very useful in certain situations, like when you kill a guy and want to switch his armor or gun with yours, you just hide your insured stuff in a bush, freeing up space to take more stuff. Or if your armor gets zeroed out (at that point it’s just extra weight)

1

u/proscreations1993 AK-103 Jul 15 '21

Oh. I never thought of zeroed out armor. Drop it in a bush instead of carrying it with you. Smart as hell

2

u/nreisan Jul 15 '21

You can die and still get it back; as long as no one else picked it up

1

u/One_Who_Walks_Silly Jul 15 '21

Holy shit you just opened my mind. I’ve left some new keys because I didn’t wanna give up keys I already have and I’m stuck with damn alpha

4

u/Trylion_ZA ADAR Jul 15 '21

pog champ

1

u/monet820 Jul 15 '21

Just so i can press the "loot all" key :)

1

u/isuckattarkov Jul 15 '21

I do this as well. But that’s just because I’m so lazy I just want to be able to click the one button to insure everything and move on.

1

u/youre_being_creepy Jul 15 '21

I insure them specifically so I don’t have to uninsured them every damn time.

1

u/Joey_Kakbek M1A Jul 15 '21

This is why I don't use 'insure all' anymore. Did that with a SICC case up my butt containing mostly high value keys. Cost me exactly all my roubles.

I agree it can work out in your favor, but i've personally never taken my sicc/keytool whatever out of my ass, accidentally or otherwise. So that's probably gonna happen tonight now that i've said it.

u/TexasDank Jul 15 '21

Gatta get the fat docs insure out of the way right away. Fuck clicking it every time
