Every map in Tarkov contains numerous hidden ground stashes and caches. These are often overlooked by players but can contain valuable loot, including rare quest items, weapons, and high-tier barter items.
- Ground Stashes: Small, buried containers that appear as mounds of dirt. They are often found along map edges, near rocks, or in secluded bushes.
- Weapon Crates: Green wooden crates that often contain weapons, weapon parts, and ammo.
- Medical Crates: Blue or green metal crates that contain medical supplies.
- Toolboxes: Red or blue toolboxes that contain industrial items, crafting components, and sometimes valuable electronics.
Learning the locations of these stashes can significantly boost your income, especially on less-trafficked routes. Use online maps (e.g., Mapgenie) to pinpoint their exact locations and incorporate them into your loot runs.
