Introduction: Rouble Riches Await
Every wipe resets the economy, but smart traders and tacticians can capitalize fast—making millions of roubles before others even hit level 30. Here are the proven strategies to fund high-tier gear, secure barter deals, and thrive while the unprepared scramble.

Top Money-Making Methods
- Key farming: Early raid runs to cash in on high-value keys—like Customs dorms or Labs V-Ex keys.
- Scav runs: Low-risk loot—sprinkle in low-tier gear and meds for fast roubles turnover.
- Barter loop trading: Flip barter deals from Hideout (Scav Case) or Fence—turn containers into massive profit.
- Flea Market flipping: Buy low, resell high—timing seasonal demand for ammo and parts is key.
Strategy Comparison: Profit vs Risk
Method | Expected Profit/Raid | Risk Level |
---|---|---|
Key Runs | 150k–300k roubles | High (PMC equipment) |
Scav Runs | 20k–50k roubles | Low |
Barter Loops | 100k+ per cycle | Medium |
Market Flips | Depends on listing | Low–Medium |
Checklist for Rouble Success (Not Just a Checklist)
- Keep radar on key prices every wipe reset.
- Stash extra key sets for immediate use.
- Scout flea market trends—ammo surges = profit alerts.
- Hand over surplus stash items to Fence for conversion.

Why These Methods Win

Key runs offer the highest per-raid payoff for those confident in PMC combat and extracts. Scav runs are passive and safe—perfect for stocking roubles while learning maps. Barter loops and market flipping leverage system imbalances—exploiting economy to build store credit without dumb risk.
Conclusion: Scale Your Bank Early

By stacking smaller wins (Scav), timing in-demand goods (Flips), and pushing high-risk key runs, you create layered income streams that surpass stagnation. This wipe, let your roubles compound—not evaporate.
