The Stash

Your stash is your storage in the safezone, and it is also where your money lives. Nothing in it is ever at risk, and it survives your death like everything else that isn't on your body. Your first stash starts with 500,000 ₽.

Opening it#

Open it at any of the stash lockers in the safezone, or from the STASH tab on the trade screen. It opens straight away, on Tarkov's stash screen: the real grid, search and filters, with your own gear alongside.

• Ctrl+click moves an item between your gear and the stash, and dragging across works too. Gear you put in from the equipment list comes back to the right place: a gun to an empty shoulder or melee slot, a vest or bag to its body slot.
• SORT tidies it in one go, and AUTO-SORT keeps it tidy. Turn AUTO-SORT off to arrange it by hand: drag items around the grid, and R turns them.
• If something only fits once the stash is laid out again, the stash makes room for it rather than telling you it is full.

What it holds#

Guns, armour and worn gear, magazines and car keys, and your money. Keys and keycards have their own room, which grows as you upgrade. Backpacks and cases stay out, and so do anti-materiel and .50 cal rifles (their magazines can go in).

Your money#

The ATMs have retired: your money is in your stash, and the safezone traders pay into it and charge from it. At the safezone traders you can also sell straight from your stash and buy straight into it. How much money a stash can hold grows with its level, as the ladder below shows.

Upgrading it#

Upgrades are paid on the stash screen, like a Tarkov hideout upgrade. Hand in the parts as you find them (click a part to hand over what you carry or have stored), pay the money with UPGRADE, and the build timer starts. It runs from an hour for level 2 to four days for the top level. Expect the whole ladder to take the wipe.

Safe by design#

Your stash is written in two copies with a journal, and backed up automatically, so a crash or a restart can never lose or duplicate what is in it.

Stash versus base#

The stash is the safe place. A base holds far more, but it has to be claimed with a fuelled generator, it decays if the fuel runs out, and every wall of it can be breached. Logging out at your base with a fortune on hand leaves the excess in a crate on the spot, so the stash is where wealth belongs. Territory and upkeep and Storage and decay cover the trade-off.
