Flea Market Illuminati Confirmed ft. Geekseh | Hardcore Tarkov Account | Wipe Strategy | EXFIL Episode 21 (An Escape From Tarkov Podcast)

An Escape From Tarkov Podcast featuring returning guest Geekseh

On this episode we welcome back Geekseh for the second time.

Geekseh has started a hardcore account that he is playing through on his stream occasionally so the hosts asked what the exact rules are for a hardcore account - if you’re approaching a spot where you really want to make the game more challenging check out the hardcore ruleset.  It includes things like you can only put keys in your gamma, you can’t use the flea market, you can only use money for upgrading traders and hideout, and much more!

Perhaps the most interesting part of this conversation are the things you learn from playing this way - how important sound is, knowing the barters inside and out, and the importance of waiting.

Find in raid change.  For the unfamiliar, in the next wipe/patch 12.6 it will be required that an item is found in raid to be posted on the flea market for other players to purchase.  This is a very significant change from the current patch as items purchased from traders and those looted off enemies or found in raid can all be sold on the flea market

This topic takes up the meat of the show and the hosts take a look at it from as many perspectives as possible.  Perhaps the most interesting question asked during this segment was what the host’s, and Geekseh’s, opinions are regarding the percentage of the player population that hit level 40 (thus unlocking the ability to have max level traders and thus a majority of the items and trades available for direct purchase).

It was on the heels of this conversation that Geekseh accused Ronal of being a part of the Flea Market Illuminati (a fictional [maybe?] group of people with a secret discord that conspire against everyone to control the flea market).

So while a rivalry was born everyone shared their strategies for the wipe for leveling, gaining gear, and how to make money.

Goodluck out there!  We hope you enjoy the conversation about the wipe and if you happen to be a part of the flea market illuminati let us know or flash us the secret hand signal - we’d love to hear from you!
