Escape from Tarkov may be a first-person extraction shooter, but it is not everyone’s cup of tea. Unlike games like Counter Strike 2 or Call of Duty, Escape from Tarkov is a survival game where players must have an effective strategy if they wish to come out on top. One such way of doing so involves managing your stash space.
As you play and survive raids, you will come to realize the size of your stash will become a limiting factor as you collect items in Escape from Tarkov. Stash space is a big problem, and many players do not know how to upgrade it, so this guide will illustrate how to do just that — along with other useful information.
How To Upgrade Stash Space In Escape From Tarkov
The starting stash space you have depends on the version of the game you own:
- Escape from Tarkov: Standard Edition – Basic Stash 10x28 Cells.
- Escape from Tarkov: Left Behind Edition – Increased Stash Size 10x38 Cells.
- Escape from Tarkov: Prepare for Escape Edition – Greater Stash Size 10x48 Cells.
If you want a bigger stash size from the get-go, you will have to cough up the dough.
Escape From Tarkov Edition Prices & Stash Size Differences
- Escape from Tarkov: Standard Edition – $50.
- Escape from Tarkov: Left Behind Edition – $82.
- Escape from Tarkov: Prepare for Escape Edition – $110.
It goes without saying that not many players will be willing to pay this much for a bigger stash size, but there is a way to solve this problem. Fortunately, players can get the Escape from Tarkov Stash upgrade for a fraction of the cost by following these simple steps:
- Ensure you own Escape from Tarkov.
- Visit the website and access the expansions page.
- Locate and purchase the Stash Upgrade, which starts from $3. You can buy from 2 to 28 additional lines of stash.
- Confirm the purchase and pay for the upgrade.
- Once the payment goes through, the activation will take place immediately.
Your Stash Upgrade purchase will remain despite a character wipe.
