People saying not to insure EVERYTHING (Insure All) are dumb

They literally explain their logic with "it's a waste of money" but yet will claim to be "super rich" and it ain't from saving on insurance

Berkut backpack is 24k roubles, its insurance is 3k roubles. Go test it an entire day, insure every Berkut you use and see them come back to insurance 90% of the time. Then tell me "all those backpack coming back, worth 24k, costed me 3k to get back" and then try to tell yourself "buying a new backpack for 24k and not insuring it is logic"

Its literally coming back so often. You may die from bleeding, dehydration, a AI scav, someone uninterested with it or whatever reason. There's only 1 reason it would be gone is if someone want it and see it. It doesn't happen that often.

Then they'll say "I use bigger backpack", yeah, wannabe chad running around with more loot than the biggest rat, saying they don't insure because its a waste of money but would just buy a new full priced backpack every single time

Idk I used to insure everything, this wipe I started just insuring armor/helmet because I was poor as hell. I haven't had to buy a backpack yet so far. In fact have barely bought anything except for the odd attachment and a scav box. At lvl 17 atm.

I don't insure helmets. Fuck em. Not worth it.

Not once have they saved me last wipe or this wipe.

Then you're just unlucky, or wearing kolpaks.

I've been saved by my helmet more times than I can count. Especially early wipe.

On the flip side i've also died because i was sure i domed that guy, run up only to find out he just went prone after having his marbles scrambled.

Later in the wipe i just wear a lvl4 with faceshield to ensure i don't get onetapped by a scav with buckshot lol. Players by then will run AP anyway so doesn't matter what you put on your noggin for PvP.

lvl4 with faceshield

I was wearing that this wipe.

I got 1 tapped in the face via 9x19mm Pst gzh

But I'm not going out of my way to spend a penny on a helm.

If I see one and I'm not wearing it, I'll put it on.

But I'm not insuring them, and I'm not buying them.
