As of right now, there is a bug with Elite Skills. If you have Max Strength for example, and you use a stim that increases strength, you will loose your elite perks for the duration of the stim. BSG has acknowledge the bug, and fingers crossed it'll be patched in the next patch.

[@AtherSo]

Hey. Thanks for the vid. Its 100% what i needed. Started 4 weeks ago with tarkov. 1+ Subscriber

[@420BongHit]

@airwingmarine you sitting in the hideout is just so fing good choice. Not only you provide us with quality knowledge and dope gameplay, you keep it immersive! Thanks for your work.🎉❤

[@armani9861]

@airwingmarine I always forget to restock my injector case before a raid. Then I end up in a fight and my propital isn’t even there. my favorite tip I give to people is to rotate your stim case sideways after you’ve used one so it looks weird, that way you’ll remember when you see doing your final gear checks. Also I carry 3 propital in my case + 1 in pockets. I never need to waste a slot on Vaseline again. Plus I hate long animations. Same reason I use cheese as pocket med at level 42. quick and quiet. Salewa good too. No zipper meds. Edit: the 3-bt loot stim is best for looting airdrops or multiple bodies. You’ll uncover items in a container RAPIDLY. Best on a full airdrop in a bad spot. You could probably loot a full one in 20 seconds. Lmao Also pro tip, if a scab player and you are looting the same airdrop and you don’t want to share. Just move items around as it searches and they’ll have to constantly rediscover the same items while you take everything else. Sj12 as a food stim has saved me sooo many times. I tend to eat everything in raid but sometimes you just don’t have it when you need it.

[@j.am501]

Is this fixed now?

[@Nephilimator]

You have some of the best Tarkov content. Whenever I have a question about tarkov I wait to see Airwing on twitch, enter the lobby and ask the question, and 95% of the time he takes the time to answer the question. You deserve more subs.

[@Ziggopotamus]

This is the problem with Twitch and even KZbin. I have unbelievably entertaining people I've been following on Twitch for over a decade now and they are still stuck in less than 50 viewer limbo for no reason. You can't be successful on Twitch anymore unless you're a girl or latch onto some other big streamer. Even then, its just so oversaturated. Everything sucks.

[@TGNhustler]

[@mwnciboo]

When I was a noob... never bothered with stims etc. Now I am more of intermediate player - I never leave the Hideout without 2 Grenades, and a Propital. They are just too useful. This content is amazing.

[@adrianmeyer2157]

Yeah same here. Especially the Propital.

[@armani9861]

That gear ritual will become so much more in depth over time. I don’t carry a melee weapon bc the added weight. And my hot keyed meds MUST be in my pockets so I can switch armors quickly and not have to re hot key them. I eject a round out of my chamber, ctrl + R, at the start of every raid. Even if I remember taking out junk ammo and replacing it. The color scheme of your pmc matters. Wearing all back but your helmet is green? Might as well be wearing a blue helmet. Same reason face coverage is goat. Right now because of the snow the standard balaclava is actually kinda good. Same with the usec white jacket. Source- bro trust me, 8000 hours.

[@Adam-ii2ir]

@@armani9861many (not all of em) balaclavas and masks can decamouflage you, as well as some glasses. U can spot player in the distance at 100+ meters on Woods for example just because he’s wearing MOMEX - it seems too bright and shiny like a broken texture for some reason - I don’t think that’s a feature, that’s just does not working correctly

Excellent content!!!! Love having this kind of in depth info on these, I hardly use swims simply because I'm not sure what ones we're worth using (maybe a propatol if i found them) this really clears up what i should be using!! !

[@simonwest80]

Thanks - this is my second wipe, so now I am getting into stims as I find I am winning fights/surviving better etc so this is amazing!

[@bepis647]

I use the L1 as the 'mixer' with a Mule or an SJ6 - the extra strength and endurance really goes a long way when you're supplementing with an L1.

[@guunarlarsensmith7148]

I saw a video on this and they found that the increase in speed and endurance is so minimal that the time it takes to inject the stim is the time saved getting to the destination and that the extra distance covered is only several meters

[@guunarlarsensmith7148]

This is all accounting for 1 full sprint at no weight at medium strength and endurance, if your overweight or just need to be faster it can still be worth it

[@pfcdiabeetus3381]

[@yizhoufu4929]

BTW, Obdolbos are my choice for killing scav under injector effects quest, it last very long so I don't have to waste several good injectors and sideeffects other than damage taken is ez fix with meds, I just take one and run around forest

[@yizhoufu4929]

and SJ12 will make you hear so clear even with full-cover helmet, perception level does make a huge diference

[@Opachki69420]

if you can level your immunity to a reasonable amount the obdolbos 2 stim is fucking nuts, immunity reduces the damage taken debuff so you can get it down to like 40% damage taken for 800 or so seconds but the benefits last 1800, great for shoreline rather than using blue stims like candy edit: forgot to mention it gives 45% equip load bonus(only 5% less than a mule stim but it heals rather than hurts you over time) so you can wear some really heavy kit and still be underweight too

Adrenaline is actually a massive extremely quick emergency health regen compared to propital

[@emmettdraz212]

It's the poor man's green stim. It's also a painkiller I'm pretty sure. Propital is easier to get in bulk with the craft but adrenaline is definitely worth using in low health situations

[@bigwomp932]

I like this dude.

[@BraindeadCRY]

I tend to keep propital in the stim case and adrenaline on a quick slot. It has a very short effect time but in that time it's health regeneration is noticable. 60 Health healed in a fight is not insiginificant. Also the price fluctuates quite a bit, so when I see them going for ~17k I buy in bulk.

[@TheGoatLocker]

Ya people sleep on the adrenaline for sure. Pain, healing, and recoil are all perfect for finishing out a fight.

[@mrchaoticunicorn]

I agree adrenaline is a great cheap stim to keep as a hotkey. It hits your hydration hard though

[@luked4043]

Slept on so hard. There is definitely not a reason to hot key those over something else if you have some found in raid.

[@powersystem2567]

Hey Airwingmarine! I love your videos, you're a big help even with gun smith! but with this video here can you do an updated tarkov stim vid? because some of the stims have changed.

[@WhitefoxSpace]

Obdolbos-2 saved my life one raid- it was like 4 minutes left in the raid, a scav player messed me up after I ran out of ammo and had to switch to my secondary. I was out of food, out of water, ammo, and meds having just finished my kits on stopping the last two bleeds. My head was on like 4 hp my chest was on like 25, I was pretty much dead anyway. I safety'd the Obdolbos-2 earlier in the raid and decided to pop it, the regen and stam recovery along with the endurance/strength got me out of the raid alive where I would've been dead. It's basically like your final chance- 80% damage taken when you're already basically dead doesn't really mean much to you at that point

[@Trigger11]

I use zagustin because there's a chance I'm getting shot at again and trying to fall back or re-engage. So the Propital/Zagustin combo is my go to!

[@yaboylevi]

Man, I watched this at work today, and bought an injector case and put some stuff in it, I have lived through two gunfights tonight because of it. Thanks dude, ignored stims for years but now I understand

in game behavior says alot about your mental state. extract camping tells me alot about you actually. a. you are lazy. b. you are a coward. c you are sneaky and underhanded even your close friends should be afraid to trust you with anything. d. you have no confidence and most likely are very ugly as that reinforces the lack of confidence you exhibit these 2 things always go hand in hand. e. you are the type of person that will lie and cheat as long as their is a reward. you have no honor. a spineless coward at best.

[@Atlas.-7141]

This guide is kind of representative of what most players will use in tarkov .13 and there are a couple of mistakes. First I stopped running a M.U.L.E stim completely and instead use obdolbos 2 for those moments when I'm super overweight. Even at 60kg ill fly out of raids with a full backpack using the obdolbos 2 stim, whereas if I were to use the mule it would take me much much longer. the only downside to the obdolbos 2 stim is that you take a lot more damage with it, but IMO that is much better than having to stay in the raid 5-10 minutes longer overweight on a mule stim. Second, NOBODY is running the SJ12 stim. In my opinion that stim is one of the best in the game and its saved my life many times. I often pop an SJ12 in conjunction with the obdolbos 2 to help me hear at a greater distance while running out of raid and as a bonus I'm slightly harder to see on thermals. Just the other day I was on my way to extract from a raid with a full bag when a player running a thermal started to shoot at me however since I popped the sj12 and obdolbos 2 I was out of his thermal range within seconds. If I popped a mule i would have been out of stamina quickly and would have likely gotten tapped while waiting for my stamina to go back up.

[@adambassuni6084]

How did you know he had a thermal?

[@lllOXKlll]

i suscribed because you remind me to.. and i have watch a lot of your videos! That obdolbos 2 injector sounds like playing when u could buy ap ammo on the flea market... and what if you combine both thermal stims?

[@kenalbus]

I use Adrenaline as a quick heal after a fight. +4hp/sec for 15 seconds gets me back up in no time. Especially useful if I'm recovering from a heavy bleed.

"Obdolbos" can be literally translated to "junkie". Or you can just call it "the Sanitar's stim". Or tryto spell it like ob(like "orb" but without "r" part)-doll-boss, which will be pretty close to how it sounds in russian.

I like combining L1 with Adrenaline if I'm super thicc (not recovering stamina while walking) and know the minute or so will get me real close to extract. They're cheap/common enough and work like a baby-MULE

[@ProdBugs]

one thing to note about SJ1 is how readily available it is by crafting it in the med station, it’s an hour and a half long craft, and you get 5 per. it’s been one of my most used stims when I become overweight and can’t regain stamina. It brings your strength skill up just enough to where you will be able to regain stam while becoming an obese loot goblin. gg ez

[@luked4043]

How do you add more time to a flea listing?

[@Nico-pc5xs]

obdoblos 2 works great on every map when metabolism is maxed out to remove 50% negativ timer and i allways pop propital to get it even lower to 6 min +-

[@Opachki69420]

Immunity makes the damage taken debuff less drastic as well, with 5 immunity I have nearly 5% less damage taken already, so it would probably only make you take 30-35% more damage for 800 seconds at elite immunity

[@zzmr_stretchzz8772]

could the health increase stims counter for the ob2 health reduction?

Hey so I've held off on doing the customs quest that you have to choose who to turn it into because I lose rep with everyone else but I know therapist will give you a stim case is it worth doing?

I think so. You can turn in 10 M67 grenades to prapor to get back the rep and 1mil roubles to skier for his. Grenades are really easy and I haven't given the money to skier cause you don't need to if you do a good few of his quests you'll still be max rep with him. You can buy injector case for around a million so if you want to hand it over to skier or prapor it doesn't change much besides who gets one million.
