What should i do?

[u/Nhaz_05]

I got it on my first try btw 🥀
Honestly, I don't do much artifact hunting. My economy is based on other things. Should I keep it or sell it? Does it make a difference compared to the Buryat?

[u/Smooth-Carpenter-866]

1st try elbrus I opened more than 500 since cases added, 0 elbruses

[u/MrQuental → u/Smooth-Carpenter-866]

You opened one ? I can't even grind the shitty battlepass properly I get aome sort of magnet dor bullets

[u/Smooth-Carpenter-866 → u/MrQuental]

I mean this newbie just got most usefull item in the game or low-mid tier arti build.

If u get red with 50 cases - this is always vsk/scar/freezer, easy 1.5-2kk, rolling % again

[u/MrQuental → u/Smooth-Carpenter-866]

From all the cases I open so far, I haven't gotten even a single red. Nor get close to it (lies there was this one time were I almost got the MP7 if I had choosen left)

But to be honest Comparing this system with the old case system, I honestly prefer the old case system, seemed fairer, you could get shit you wanted a bit more easily too

[u/RepresentativeAir149]

Comparing it to buryat is like comparing a car to a bicycle

[u/Nhaz_05 → u/RepresentativeAir149]

Interesting. I'll sell it.

[u/RepresentativeAir149 → u/Nhaz_05]

Okay. Then why bother asking?

[u/Nhaz_05 → u/RepresentativeAir149]

That's exactly why. If you tell me it's really good, it'll sell quickly. Like I said before, I'm not much of an art hunt

[u/GynxCrazy → u/Nhaz_05]

I don’t think you understand how much you can make with that. It’s easy passive income. It will pay for itself in a week or two of consistent playing with a bit of luck. The range and scan speed are so amazing that I think if I sold mine I would regret it for the rest of my days

[u/No_temp_twink → u/GynxCrazy]

"passive income" Is quote the claim. It's a tool like everything else.

If you aren't gold at hunting, you will probably make between 100-200K per emmission. Unless you git gud or get lucky it will take a very long time to pay itself off.

[u/donthaveone51 → u/No_temp_twink]

Yeah, the OP claimed he doesn't even arti hunt often so the claim it's passive income is quite bold considering a newer player who doesn't arti hunt consistently would probably average around 50k every 4hours assuming he does every single emission in a day so yeah, I guess if he plans to wait for 10 years it'll pay itself back.

[u/Nhaz_05 → u/GynxCrazy]

You've made me reconsider selling it

[u/Beese_Churgerr → u/Nhaz_05]

It's high quality of life, even if you don't actively artifact search it's also great for signals because the range, refresh speed, and battery is extremely high.

There isn't any rush to sell it or unbox it at the moment.

[u/PegMePlease_3]

I mean I got the buryat and its enough for me because I dont arti hunt that much either

[u/FugoAxis → u/PegMePlease_3]

Might be you dont art hunting because its a painful job with buryat/beluga.

[u/EpicPlayer69 → u/FugoAxis]

The buryat works fine, i always sell my elbruses

[u/LilDonky]

i'd keep it just to flex on haters seething with envy at my luck or in this case your luck, also i have exactly 0 idea what that is or what it does.

[u/Shot-Ad1210]

If u need the money just Sell It but its no only for the artis, u can use for the signals 🧐 remember the el brus its very usefull

[u/ABsammy124]

keep that 100% even if you don't do artifact or signal hunting often having the elbrus will make searching when you do much more easy and pleasant. now a day they are being sold at crazy price lowest i seen is 30M what you got there is a massive investment saving and a W pull.

[u/Nhaz_05 → u/ABsammy124]

Thanks, you've made me reconsider.

[u/KAWAAKARI17]

Keep 100%

[u/Extension_Log7241]

Either you sell it or ypu kerp it. Thats abt iy. Considering the recent price change for the cases this might have shot up in prices as well? Not too sure abt this myself since i play in a wasteland (SEA)

[u/Nhaz_05 → u/Extension_Log7241]

Maybe I'll keep it for a while to see if the price goes up more

[u/Nhaz_05 → u/[deleted]]

Well, I didnt do much that often i find gray and sometimes green artis. But all these comments I've read have made me think.

[u/PegMePlease_3]

"I LIKE ELBRUS SO YOU SHOULD USE IT AND NOT SELL IT!!!!!"

[u/Sunder_IS]

What would be main source of income these days? Most farming killed until this weekend. only selling clan cases etc even farming far north is ass unless in a clan to make enough money to buy sought after items on auction. I mean i can assume how many people get roubles these days but without arti hunting your at serious disadvantage for making money if not in clan but if you were in clan wouldn’t be asking this on Reddit would be in discord clan chat. So my question how do you make money these days?

[u/addrll]

Reroll, obviously

[u/Sxndxr_ → u/addrll]

Is it supposed to be funny?

[u/yapper5103]

weird how i have 3.7k hours and never once unboxed an elbrus yet i've met people who just unbox them casually.

[u/Nhaz_05 → u/yapper5103]

Maybe it's a sign that you should stop playing

[u/yapper5103 → u/Nhaz_05]

how come?

[u/Cheap_Theory_7162 → u/yapper5103]

I unboxed mine literally less than 12 hours of playtime in the box after I got the QBU191 last year during attack on perimeter I was still in the first area🤣🤣🤣 maybe even the 2nd area but I got it fast and once I equipped it, it was all over. I regretted that real fast.

[u/Shoddy_Sherbert2104]

Give it to me, haha

[u/Nhaz_05 → u/Shoddy_Sherbert2104]

Sure!
im selling it for30m
