Okay, guys, let’s talk about my little adventure with “the collector” in Tarkov.

So, I decided to finally tackle this infamous task. You know, the one where you gotta find all those streamer items? Yeah, that one. I figured, “How hard could it be?” Famous last words, right?
First, I started by making a list. I mean, who goes into Tarkov blind? I googled a bit and jotted down all the items I needed. Felt pretty organized, I gotta say.
Then, I dived into the raids. Oh boy. Customs, Woods, Interchange… you name it, I was there. Scavenging every nook and cranny. I spent hours, days even, just looting. My stash became a mess of random stuff. It looked like a hoarder’s paradise, but it will be finished at someday.
- Customs was my personal hell. So many player Scavs, and that one dude that keep one tapping me. I spent 3 days!
- Woods was… surprisingly calm. Found a couple of items there, tucked away in those little cabins.
- Interchange? Forget it. Too many chads. I ran in, grabbed what I could, and ran out. Zero shame.
Slowly but surely, I started crossing items off my list. Found a Shroud mask here, a Pestily plague mask there. I used every item and tools i * felt good. Like, really good. Each item was a tiny victory.
The hardest part? Staying alive. I’m not the best PvPer, so I adopted a rat playstyle. Sneaking around, avoiding fights, looting and scooting. It worked, mostly. A few… unfortunate encounters, but hey, that’s Tarkov.

After what felt like an eternity (probably a week, in reality), I finally found the last item. The feeling? Pure relief. And a little bit of pride, not gonna lie.
The Result
I handed everything over to the trader, got my rewards, and promptly logged off. Needed a break after that grind. But hey, I did it. “The Collector” – completed. Check that off my Tarkov bucket list.
My advice? Patience, young Padawans. And a good list. And maybe some prayers to the RNG gods. You’ll need it. Good luck, and don’t let them get the best of you!
