Text Explanation

You need to drag and drop items while selecting your loadout to the insurance menu on your right to insure the items that you want. Here you will be able to choose both types of insurance:

• Standard Insurance and
  
• Gear Salvage.

In Standard Insurance which can be purchased using K-Marks, you can pay a fraction of the item cost to receive the entire sum back in case you die an untimely death. This amount will be transferred to your quarters in the game.

If you manage to survive, you will still receive a substantial amount of K-marks that will recover the cost of your insurance. For example, if you pay 740 K-Marks to secure your items then you will be able to receive up to 2150 K-Marks if you die in the game.



The Gear Salvage Insurance lets you insure your items but instead of receiving K-marks in return, the item which you have insured will be returned back to you in case of an untimely death. It can be purchased using Ethereum or Insurance tokens currency that is available in the game. However, if enemy loots your insured item YOU WILL NOT GET IT BACK, instead you will receive a same amount of K-Marks as Standard Insurance.



Do note that you can only insure your armor, backpack and weapon in the game. The exact amount that you need to pay and the amount you will receive are shown in the top left corner before you press the deploy button in the game.



The Insurance amount can be claimed from the Income Generator machine located in your quarters. This insurance package can hold up to 20 insurances that you can collect after your death.



You cannot commit insurance fraud as your entire insurance amount will be gone and won’t be returned back to you, for example, suppose if you insure your weapon and you throw it or if your teammate loots your weapon or collects it from you — the insurance will be voided.

The Standard Insurance is the one you should always pick up as you will be able to claim the amount most of the time.

That’s it, these are all things you should know about insurance in The Cycle: Frontier. Don’t forget to insure your items especially if you are new to the game as it will help you recover a lot of money as you learn the mechanics of the game.

I thought you could ensure any-none consumables? I'm pretty sure you can insure Mineral scanners at least.

@Chizzit Correct. You should using no insurance if you're using really cheap gear that you plan to replace with something better as soon as you get a kill, otherwise the majority of the time you just run standard insurance on all your gear. Save the tokens for the really rare stuff (ideally when you're running with friends, otherwise if they can't kill the guy who killed you it'll almost certainly be stolen and downgrade you to standard insurance regardless)

[Chizzit]

So the safe bet it to use standard insurance primarily, as you get the gun back only if it isn't looted, which that option costs premium currency or 1 of the limited insurance tokens?

The insurance screen pops up before you deploy to Fortuna III. You deploy With Insurance or Without.

How do you access the insurance screen?

As a side note, moving an insured item to your backpack or stash will not void insurance. So if I find a higher armor on the battlefield, I can wear it and move the other into my backpack.

[Skivin]

Regarding teammates looting your stuff, does the insurance expire only when they extract with it, or does them touching your loot at all void the insurance? Would be nice if your buddies can pick up your guns and hide them in a bush for you when you die like in tarkov.

Bruh this game escape from tarkov now?
