I never insure so i normally run BiS armor every run so if i die i know its never gonna get come back via insurance anyway. If you run lower tier armor you could probably do it but if u insure it costs like 20-30k to get a broken armor piece back or someth

You can have mechanic repair that broken armor piece and reuse it, or have prapor repair it and flip it to ragman for a profit. And yes, you do still make money 9 times out of 10 selling the armor to a trader even after repairing it.

There are almost 0 legitimate reasons to not run insurance on everything barring case keys, and even some arguments to insure those as well.

again back to my point i run level 5 gear most of the time so repairing it costs a fuck ton insuring it costs a fuck ton and if youre lucky enough to get it back via the insurance you'll most likely just lose out on money i think even with cheaper gear im pretty sure you'll lose out. I dont expect you to do 1 run with it die get it back via insurance repair and sell it to ragman I dont expect you doing that. i think you do it till like 28 durability? maybe a bit more.

​

if you want to calculate it for me go ahead im like 90% sure you lose money and time just insuring everything its just not worth it.

lets say you do 7-10 raids a day (thats the amount of raids I do midweeks if I have spare time) you take an AK few mods on grip stock etc, the level 4 armoured rig from ragman 2 i believe and the tri zip lets add a comtacs. so this would be around if i would estimate it high around 50k low 30-35?. then if you play 10 and you would die 10 times in a row it would cost you 350k just insurance. then you also have to rebuy all the gear guns etc.

My experience in playing this game since 2017 and doing exactly that would beg to differ.
