Alternative Ways to Increase Your Stash Size in Escape From Tarkov

If you don’t want to or can’t upgrade your stash in the Hideout, then another option to increase stash size in Escape From Tarkov is to spend a few million roubles to purchase weapon and item cases from the various traders in-game.
