The stash is one of the most important gameplay features of Escape From Tarkov, and getting upgrades for it is just as important. As such, here is our guide on how you can get permanent stash upgrades in Escape from Tarkov.
Previously, players could only upgrade their stash by upgrading it in the Hideout. Players could upgrade it a total of three times to a maximum stash size of 10×68. For years, this has been the biggest size that players could upgrade their stash into. The problem with this is that with every wipe, the player will have to re-upgrade their Stash from scratch again. This has been a struggle most players have faced in the game.
However, thanks to some teasers they released last year, as well as a new feature, there are now ways for the player to receive permanent upgrades for their Stash. We'll be going through each of them in turn.
Upgrading your game version
When purchasing Escape From Tarkov, players can buy one of three versions. These are the Standard Edition, the Left Behind Edition, and the Prepare for Escape Edition. Each version of this game increasingly increases the size of your stash. Those who order the Standard Edition will get the base stash size, while those who buy the Prepare for Escape edition will get a Level 3 Stash in their Hideout.
The only downside of this upgrade method is the fact that the player is basically paying to skip the Stash upgrade grind described above. Thankfully, this upgrade grind skip happens every wipe. In a sense, this was the first-ever way to permanently upgrade your Stash size. However, as mentioned above, the maximum stash size players can get this way is 10×48. That may seem a lot, but it's not that much until you unlock containers. The next two upgrade methods, on the other hand, go above and beyond 10×68.
Rating Reward
First teased back in July, the game's developers announced that they will be introducing an all-new Rating system in the game. Players can compete for a spot on the leaderboard in ten categories:
- Experience
- K/D ratio
- Survival rate
- Average profit
- Kills
- Raids
- Longest shot
- Playtime
- Inventory value
- Trade rating
Players who reach the top ten in any of the categories mentioned above will receive an additional two lines of stash inventory. They will receive these two additional lines after the wipe commences. This will likely happen every wipe, allowing players to get more and more Stash lines with each wipe. It's important to note, however, that players cannot receive multiple copies of the price. That means that even if the player is part of the top ten in various categories, they will only receive the price once.
Buying Stash Upgrades

As of this month, players are now able to buy permanent Stash upgrades. By going to the Escape From Tarkov Expansions page, players can buy permanent stash upgrades. Players can buy 2 lines of 10 slots for $3, up to a maximum of 28 lines of 10 slots, or $42. Once players buy these lines, they will be permanently added to the player's account and will persist between wipes. Players can also buy Stash upgrades for their friends.
It's important to note that, according to replies on the original post, players who were able to finish the previous TerraGroup Trail questline and received the 2 extra stash lines will not be able to buy the full 28 lines. They will only be able to buy up to 26 extra lines.
