Even better idea for the roleplay base loot storage. Add a pixel gap to the roof setion so you can get the loot through the gap. Then you cover the gap with a bear rug.

[@JfarrYT]

Haha, very sneaky

[@PigsxArexAwesome]

You can also do it in the floor and put a metal double door in it then you won't be able to see it because of the foot, you can then just leave the door open and it seams like you forgot to close it

[@dangielfrauk8484]

Or don't ruin it for rpers

[@ImagineIfNot]

This man bro. He literally made a video about our strats. Give me 1 youtuber who actually listens to the community and makes a video literally about most of the comments. Hands up for your bro❤

[@JfarrYT]

Thanks Vlad and the suggestion was great. I'm sure it will help a bunch of people out :)

[@JfarrYT]

⚠Updates & Notes⚠ • At 9:55, the M92 pistol actually costs 250 scrap. Therefore, the total costs are 690 scrap if you have pistol BP and 765 scrap without. • At 3:11, I say "You’ll be rewarded with a pump jack and some ammo" when I should have said "You’ll be rewarded with a pump shotgun and some ammo"

[@Kevko85]

the suppy drop method doesn´t work anymore

[@thegorbagelord5434]

You can use a water gun to put out fires on crates from Bradley and ATK Heli You can fly your mini into the nose of Chinook causing it to explode and drop it's locked crate. You can shoot locked crates to increase the time before they unlock. Cheers!

[@perfectss3733]

first one is a myth , tried it and it is not possible

[@Cethio]

Wait no way that water gun actually works on crates.. how long does it take and how many water guns do you need to take all 4 crates?

[@SoloSnowbaII]

Everyone should make it their mission to at least share this channel to their friends. You are seriously underrated and your videos are high quality. Hope you make it big bro much love ❤

[@JfarrYT]

Thank you for the kind words mate, I really do appreciate it :)

[@bushy1342]

[@billholland583]

Thank you so much. I've been waiting for a video like this. Could you do another video like this, but based off of advanced clan/ small groups strategys to be on top? Or to raid quicker. Thank you so much.

[@JfarrYT]

Happy to help billholland and I plan to have a similar video in the future with even more strategies and community suggestions.

I cry a bit inside when all these juicy secrets come out, but good on ya.

[@MaX1Eb0y]

7:30 I saw @aloneintokyo do this trick but with a shotgun and Incendiary Shell where u just ride the fire on ur way down

[@SirChris]

i didn't realize taking bradley with grenades was so easy, kind of want to try it next wipe

[@JfarrYT]

Hope it all goes well and I'd say the hardest part of the whole thing will just be the other players, so be on the lookout.

[@cloudy5504]

if guns and gear isnt an issue the Arctic Research Base is the easiest red card if you need one fast just be sure to open the left container, the right is useless unless you want a snowmobile

[@AsherADog]

Thank you for using my ideas jfarr

[@JfarrYT]

Thank you for the great suggestions greenbeans :)

[@Ekhod0]

Dude I thought ever since you couldn’t damage sam sites by hitting them that you couldn’t damage them anymore. Had no idea you can take it out with fire. 👍

[@ytwqm]

The grenade one happened to me. - 1k scrap when I was heading back from outpost after recycling the tunnel run

[@aspectdot]

Can I ask? What editing software do you use as this editing is genuinely amazing and so smooth. The editing scratches an itch in my brain. If possible please make a video detailing these edits and how you make them.

[@JfarrYT]

Haha thank you and I use Davinci Resolve

[@aspectdot]

@@JfarrYT You probably use the premium version right? Would it possible for you to make a video on this topic asa video like that would be very informative.

[@magikkatana4939]

Holy shit this is amazing

[@JfarrYT]

Thanks you :)

[@lucifer4012]

9:00 . I use to do Bradley a lot! and you get inc. rockets lots of times, so i just need inc. rockets. it only takes 1 (if you hit perfect), otherwise 2 rockets per SAM SITE. Best and fastest way to climb. (but it's a little loud)

[@SkelZeroX]

Jfarr hEaiR 🔥👌🏻

[@JfarrYT]

Haha

[@FantasmaNaranja]

3:10 hell yeah pumpjacks are back? that was the best rust update that they got rid of for some reason

[@holydiver327]

Can you use water gun on Bradley chests?

[@RustMoments]

This video is like ASMR haha you sound sleepy:) but nice vidd

[@JfarrYT]

Haha thanks :)

[@Wrutschgeluck]

isn't it possible to disable the samsites (8:54) with tools like jackhammer or swords? i did this with a sword years ago but it got patched. this is the first time i see someone is still talking about. Btw: i just disabled 1 of both samsites wiht just 1 sword and fly up the wall, not the edge. you have to be sticky to the wall but it was possible back then

[@gamerryanl5937]

At the power plant u can get it for free u have garage doors and a wheel at the place where the recyceler is the u keep spinning the weel and the u have garage door open for a few seconds

[@jc2721]

You could use subs to destroy water bases easily though. tarpedos are almos the same as rockets.

[@philip0908]

Does the elevator/F1 thing still work today?

[@jinn-gx3mo]

How long does it take gor a bodybag to despawn?

[@raventherenagade1222]

You have any tips n tricks like this for us console Chad's?

[@davidious4166]

TIP - the base with the loot uinder the floor - you WILL be scene if you are creeping around under the floor as your head will push thru and your name plate - they will see you. KEEP one of your honeycomb spaces open so you can crouch over into that spot so if your waiting for them to leave, they wont see your name as it will peak up into the honey comb space, not the floor where they are standing... hope this makes sense. Maybe I need to make some videos to show what I mean... lol

[@JfarrYT]

In my example I left a honeycomb section option for a furnace and sleeping bag. I think you would be able to use that section for what you're describing.

[@BAS-ModZ-_-]

how would you get out of the base tho if it’s locked

[@RanDom-if2ee]

Could you remake the harbor guide or link where i can find the crates? Most of your monument guides show where all crates are, but because that video was a bit older, it doesn't. ( Also, i play console rust and noticed some monuments from PC are different from console, such as satellite dish, so i don't know if this will effect the video making process. [Sorry about the long comment])

[@JfarrYT]

Hmm, when I get off work I can look into this. Not sure if console harbour is same as PC harbour layout but would have thought so. If it is, I can look into finding a map or video on the crate layout.

[@JfarrYT]

The layout of the monument appears to be the same on both console and PC. However, a friend mentioned that there may have been changes to the loot spawn locations in the harbor in recent years. I’ve taken images of both the large and small areas and collected data on average spawn locations. Keep in mind that not all of these spots will be filled at once, and the locations may differ for console players. The yellow dots in this image imgur.com/a/hKPefPE represent all the normal and military crate locations I could find. Please take this information with a grain of salt.

[@RanDom-if2ee]

Have a speargun but can't make or find spears any idea?

[@RapCultureMTL]

Can you still break sam sites at launch site?

[@JfarrYT]

Yes, I talk about it and show the best tools to use at 8:53

[@911stud6]

@3:10 "pumpjack and ammo" lol

[@sveatyk]

those are some very beginner tips can we maybe get a video for more advanced players?

[@DYAXNN]

But without a gun its hard to do launch now due to the scientist they added inside main building.

[@jakejake5612]

Man i wish you could farm roadsighns on console seems like such an easy patch

[@davidious4166]

If you farm underwater labs, try a under water base near it with vending machines in it so you can store your loot and run it back all at once.

[@maskangel]

thought underwater vending machines were patched?

[@davidious4166]

@@maskangel Oh is that right? Oh, I did not know... well it was an idea :D

[@carloswinchester2623]

U need Green as well for powerplant

[@blakeblaze0554]

Do the NPC's exist on console or is it a PC only thing?

[@thematt6705]

Those underground bases, bunkers, and pixel gaps won't fool anyone who knows how to play the game. It's trivial to tell what's a wall and what's a foundation just looking at it from the outside and pixel gaps are trivial to spot with the right console commands; you're not fooling anyone who knows what to look for. The best defense against getting raided, whether online or offline, is to make your base already look raided. Wall in your door, leave the top floor partially finished, and put a sign that says "CLAPPED" outside. Bunker or 2x2, no one is going to waste boom raiding a base that's already been raided.

[@losslessthoughts]

Bunkers are mainly to increase raid cost IMO. Armored floor is better than an armored door.

[@lee8849]

Hey Jafar can you explain the reasoning as to recycle f1 grenades and not smoke just do smoke grenades?

[@JfarrYT]

Mainly time saving. If you purchase grenades you can do everything in the one safe zone. Otherwise you will need to run between bandit camp and outpost which would cost time and risk losing all your loot.

[@zorros]

@@JfarrYTdrones?

Hey jafarr next video be how to counter and cure radiation

[@fazejimsmith]

U should stream if you don’t already

[@emsauce5234]

The snow mobile cave exploit is kinda mid. You can just use a pump shotgun with incin and jump ontop of the incin as it falls to negate fall damage. This could even be done with an eoka.

[@antsila5825]

Riding fire is the coolest thing ever

[@zazsereb1499]

Im kind of confused about the part where if your inventory is full, you craft TC, what do you do then? Dont you lose all your wood?

[@JfarrYT]

I wish KZbin had the option to make slight edits to an existing video (Redub audio or replace section) without having to delete it and reupload the whole thing. I will likely include a pinned comment with this and other fixes.

[@Fal9111]

Hi Jfar, nice tips for newer players, would you be interested in making a similar video for seasoned players with stuff VERY few people know? Ive got around 20k hours, hmu, would be interesting since alot of the times ive met players with thousands of hours that dont know alot about the game.

[@squishyushi]

So I’m gonna play during force wipe tomorrow, and idk ‘bout y’all, but I’m gonna put a bunch of beds down near a fish village, fish till I can afford the scuba kit, the sub and then enough to run and get a jackhammer from outpost, mine and chop trees on the way to where I parked my sub, go to water lab and build a water base with the stone and wood I mined

[@nenenei]

yea, you know now i just need rust. I've wanted rust for like 2 years but 40 dollars is kind of a lot of money so i really want rust but can't. Your vids seem great tho and if i ever find the money to buy it these will 100% help me :D

Guide of tugboats update

[@primatademilho]

Isnt the m92 250 scrap?

[@jonasduell9953]

Smoke Grenades are more efficient GP/Scrap (Smoke: 18GP for 5 scrap, F1: 15GP for 8 scrap) than F1s but only available in Outpost. Metal Frags should be plenty after farming 250 scrap plus grenades. Good to know for those stupid servers with combined Outpost + Bandit! (god I hate that...)

[@Ph3oNiX2105_ZA]

I would not use the first stash tip, oftentimes cheaters will see your stashes and take your loot before you get back.
