hello and welcome to low budget gaming in this video I wanted to discuss how
you can make a bit of extra money for your steam wallet by simply playing the
game PUBG or PlayerUnknown's battlegrounds now this is not a
sponsored video I'm not going to send you to a gambling site or a skin selling
site this is just a normal discussion if you are a normal gamer who plays
casually for a few hours every week you can make a bit of extra cash and if you
play it regularly and sell the crates regularly you will have enough money
during steam sales once or twice a year to have some extra money to buy some
other games and that is the objective here so yesterday on 9th of January
PUBG released an update where they reported two new crates so they are
going to introduce two new crates into the game one is called the Desperado
crate and the other is called the Biker crate
now the first one the Desperado crate is a paid crate so basically you need to
buy a key to open it and the Biker crate is a free one now there are two existing
crates the Wanderer crate and the Survivor crate and what they have done
is when these new crates are introduced the likelihood of them dropping will
increase to 40% each for the new ones and the older ones will be down to 10%
so basically if you order 10 crates you'll get eight of these newer ones and
two of the older ones and they've also shown how many items you can get and
what are the likelihood of getting these items so you can see this one here is
only 0.16 percent so so this will take an eternity now the way I look at this
is I treat these crates as extra trading cards now when you have a lot of
games you can use the trading cards and sell them on the Steam market and get a
few cents here and there if you have a lot of them you can make a few dollars
and then you can use those dollars to buy games during sales with these crates
if you play the game regularly every week say five six hours 10 hours a week
you can have enough points to have several crates and then you can sell
them and can get one or two dollars every week at least now there are ways
where can be a bit more clever about it and
make a bit more money now in if you're not familiar with PUBG you get points
for playing the game and depending on how well you do how many hit points you
get how many kills you get and how long you survive so if you have a very
successful game say you win the game you get the chicken dinner with about ten
kills or something you are looking at about thousand eleven hundred points so
every killer is twenty points and you get one point for every hit so it all
adds up now the way it works is you can buy six Crates per week the first crate
will cost you 700 the second crate costs you 1400 the third crate costs you 2800
so if they keep doubling up the fourth crate will cost you 4200 fifth one will
also cost you 4200 and the sixth one will also cost you 4200 so as you can
see beyond the third Crate it becomes too expensive so what I try to do is I
try to get three crates every week so 700 plus 1400 is 2,100 and another 2800
4900 so it's a little more than the fourth crate so you can get three crates
for a little more than the fourth crate so three crate makes the most sense know
if you buy the three crates and sell them you'll get a few dollars every week
now currently if you look at the Steam market you have the Survivor crate and
the wanderer crate now these are at their lowest basically right now because
they have been around for a while and people probably are fed up with these so
everybody's sort of waiting for the new ones so the survival crate goes for 53
cents and the Wanderer crate goes for 37 cents now if I look at the historical
data here as you can see it started at around 72
cents at the start okay this is only December let's look at the lifetime so
if you look at the lifetime here it started at over $3 and it peaked up to
$3.62 and then it dropped and dropped and dropped and dropped and as you can see
it's just steadily dropping it's down to about 40 odd cents the other crate is
the Wanderer crate and this is the even cheaper one so if you go at the
lifetime here it started a third of August it was $1.61 it peaked on the 5th
of August 6 A.M ok this must be India time so about just over $2 and then it's
just dropped so as you can see initially when it launches for the first couple of
days to 3 days it tends to peak in value and then it drops because
everybody is now got them and has the points to buy them so with the new
announcement with these crates what I would recommend right now is if you are
playing the game don't buy any more crates save up your points and when
these new crates launch just buy five six of them if you want or you can just
stick with three at a time and just sell them so you'll make good money initially
you could make say seven eight ten twelve dollars who knows and that could
help you in paying towards the game or you can use that money to buy other
games which is what I tend to do know if you have noticed Gamescom Invitational
crate now this was a temporary crate that only basically came out in August
and ended in September so you can't buy these from the within the game so as you
can see when it started it was about three dollars and then it started
peaking around mid to late October and now it's sitting at around seven seven
and a half I think maximum it reached was about nine
roughly so this is no longer available to buy so as a result that quantity is
dropping and it's price is going up constantly as you can see if you look at
the buyers versus sellers here look at the number of people who want to buy the
crates and the number of people selling it is to disproportionately high so the
price will only keep going up for this crate the rarer
it gets the new ones coming out I don't think they are temporary once they are
going to be permanent once at least that's what they are indicating but
right now we don't know when they will come out but what I would say is try to
have as many points saved up as possible try to buy only three crates a week in
normal weeks and when you have special crates or occasional crates that only
lasts for a short period try to buy as many of them as you can like use the
full six maximum six you are allowed and then sell them on you can make a lot of
money you can see this is selling at $7 per crate and as you know the game costs
$29.99 to $30 so you have five of these and you've already paid off the game and
that's a lot of money I'm not even going to go into the other stuff because they
are quite expensive as you can see this tract tracksuit top yellow is selling
for 35 if you are into that that's a bit more complex I'm more casual into this
so I play maybe like 10 15 hours a week in fact this is my play time so as you
can see twelve point two hours in the last two weeks and in the twelve point
two hours I've made just over 6000 points so you can say a player like me
who's not that good who plays casually I would say 500 points per hour is what
you can expect I say 10 hours a week you'll get those 5,000 points roughly
sell buy the three crates sell them if you if you're not interested just keep
saving the points until you see something special and the main reason
why I'm making this video is unlike other games where you have trading cards
you sell them and that's it you can actually keep making money every week of
this a little by little six months later you'll have a lot of
money for the summer sale or the winter sale or whenever you want to use the
money and if you have said 12 30 35 dollars in a few months
that's a nice extra amount of money for buying a lot of games and you know games
go on good sales so consider that that's a quick sort of video I wanted to make
regarding this hopefully this was useful and yeah thank you for watching see you
in the next one
