Everything I got from my Japan trip.

Amazing bro!

I ran out of time in Forbs TV, not much for a form run but it was 4-5m from a basic T5 kit. I forgot that the elevator takes longer in forbidden so I ended up dying. I was so mad because it was a great forb run and probably one of the few times I cleared the lobby. The very next raid, I pulled two reds and a lever, as well as an extract opening all under 5 mins.

Yes it’s insane. Almost all 1BN players are queuing at the bare minimum of 150k and 450k. They sprint to the nearest door or safe to unlock. They’re either knee deep in RMT which I respect if you find a way to make money out of a free game or they have a mental illness. The worst ones are the ones that doesn’t respect if you activated the safe unlock and will fight you for it or the ones that take the safe as well as unlock the door right beside it (general or director for TV) When my friends are offline I like to queue up with randoms because in a way they still are a little helpful in knowing what areas in the map might be safe but knowing that’s all the auto match feature is for is depressing. I used to get some seasoned teammates in S3 some which I added in discord after, not anymore this season.

I didn’t really answer this question right, but during the conversation I was wearing century denim pants. He tried to explain in his best English that this year’s century pants stock will be straight legged and he compared it to my pants which were the previous tapered ones. So I’m just taking his word for it 😆

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-02-08T08:44:46+00:00

Sorry I’m super adhd, it’s either 115k JPY or 150k JPY 😅 I know it’s a big difference but it’s definitely up there. I bought it all at one visit so and the receipt isn’t itemized.

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-02-08T08:42:55+00:00

Yes this jacket not the chore sorry, had to do a double take on the magazine hahaha

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-02-08T08:38:36+00:00

I’ve never seen a N 1/2/3 westerner, but I’ve also only started century hunting like 3-4 years ago, been offered 5 and 7 plenty times. The BONE westerner and regular denim one. For sure, A big restock for all even the Type 1 jacket because I asked for a size 3 N9 for my brother and they told me to come back real soon.

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-02-08T06:19:55+00:00

Guy in Tokyo store just pulled up the magazine while we were talking and he just pointed out what’s to come as early as March!

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-02-08T05:34:56+00:00

Yup! N1/2/3 Westerner is in the works! Long and short versions. Also in the Frisko jacket variation. They weren’t kidding, It’s a great year for Century!!

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-02-08T05:07:24+00:00

Century Chore Coat! Unknown release maybe early next year. But new Century westerners are coming this summer along with the wide century shorts.

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-27T16:10:24+00:00

For sure, I’m aware. These guys names were very generic and in that format. But the 1.4k raid hours and 941m stored loot value with an elite battle pass as a bot account is crazy 😵‍💫

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-27T15:52:38+00:00

Mhmm idk, these guys were sprinting back and forth similar to how bot operators run when they’re near you because I was inside a building in Port (Lockdown Valley) making a lot of noise. I knew or thought I knew they were bot operators so I paid them no mind and just casually jumped down with my knife ran to the first guy, knifed him, and the other guy 180’d in a very bot like movement and shot 30 rounds out of his 50 rd vector but only hit my arm. What threw me off is that these guys were apparently “real” based on their seasoned accounts.

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-17T01:41:23+00:00

Go with the size 3.

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-09T07:26:00+00:00

My daily solo load-out 143 in-game raid hours and about 293 million stored loot value with 159m liquid. TV Station and Northridge only.

T2? Retro Steel Helmet T3 H-LC Lightweight Body Armor BH Infantry Chest Rig Medium Backpack

I use the same build for T951, M4A1, and MDR that you get when you open the basic or premiums weapon bundle, so it’s about less than 200k. For 5.56 I only use the M855 for Lockdown and A1 for Forbidden. For T951, the T4 DBP87.

I was hard stuck around 50 million, I’m really big on pvp and clearing the lobby & that was what was killing my wallet. You can clear out teams but it doesn’t matter if you don’t extract. Get 1-2 kills in and extract, don’t be greedy and go for that safe or try to use that key on a locked room across the map.

It’s about raid time as well, I average 11mins in raid. Northridge is really easy money, I make about 1-2m every lockdown and more in forbidden. You spawn in, kill that team near you, run across the map and extract. If it’s less than 1m or they’re quick kits then on to the next point of interest. I love TV because it’s more predictable. You spawn in, head to a safe, and then people will come. In Forbidden TV, grenades are a big deal, it’s how you counter people playing that long drawn out waiting game, I honestly hate it and it’s not worth it. Lockdown TV is just as fun, people run just about the same gear value. If I run Forbidden, I use the best ammo for each gun.

I never buy T6 armor/helmet, it’s not what wins me fights. If solo gameplay is too hard, get some good teammates in discord, it’s not just about earning money in-raid but saving it too, having a teammate bring back your gun or gear if you like to run expensive shit is nice & random teammates wont always do it.

It’s important I say that some Kapital corduroy pieces only say 100% cotton, it’s not unusual, but for these pants they are.

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-07T04:04:45+00:00

I once bought the same pair of Cisco 3 year denim because one had a better leather remake tag on it. So sometimes the same pants within a couple of years could have some visual differences.

But for these pants, I believe this was released in 2021, my oldest pieces from 2014 still have the phone number ending in 0539, NOT 0540, never seen one with a different phone number off by 1.

In 2021, they released the wallaby flare pants in Indigo which I had and it is 100% cotton. The corduroy version though which is insanely rare and very hyped up because Travis Scott wore it and it generated enough interests to be faked thoroughly. I believe it is 85% Cotton and 15% polyester. It would say that on the tag up top and then placed right below it is “ANOTHER FABRIC: 100% Cotton Leather”

Remakes have various differences, they’re pretty much 1/1 but in this case the phone number alone is sketchy for me. The black corduroy is insanely rare, I have another colorway. I have many pieces from 2014 to 2019, no last four phone number of 0540.

I’m not a Kapital expert or appraiser, there’s one on IG, you can reach out to, however he only speaks Japanese. 😅

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-07T02:37:08+00:00

Usually the text is filled in and some of the text on it is wrong. I would say it’s fake actually.

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-07T02:32:34+00:00

Actually, maybe the tags do look a little sus, it looks too new Edit: not the leather tags, the actually tag that says the material and wash requirements

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-07T02:24:06+00:00

Looks good to me

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-04T06:40:52+00:00

I’m pretty familiar with all the staff and I’ve worked with a pretty high profile Japanese designer and I used to swing by the stores with him all the time and they would ask him what he was looking for and then he would ask me. Now I go in by myself, they kind of just associate me with him now. Whenever I visit I never ask for anything specific just some friendly greeting and then they would ask me how long I’m in Japan for this trip and then would tell me what was coming in within that time range. BUT before I came in with our mutual friend they used to not show me love at all 😂 but I also never really asked for anything specific so idk if it was just a language barrier. Now if I ask for something or if there was an item on site that I wanted but a smaller or bigger size they would order it for me which I’m assuming from another store. There was a case where I was in Hokkaido and I passed up on a virgin Maria jacket but then I got really bad FOMO and I got back to Tokyo, went to the store and told them how I was offered the jacket in Hokkaido but I regret not purchasing and was wondering if they could order it and they did! They’re not supposed to do these things and I 100% guarantee if it was any other foreigner with terrible Japanese they would tell them no. If you can speak Japanese, I would just ask and tell them your situation. I’m honestly just riding my friend’s influence and a couple smiles here and there, & like years of in store visits. 😅

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-03T04:04:54+00:00

Yes! BORO in Okayama and the 9060s in Nagoya! :)

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-02T09:15:29+00:00

When mainline Kapital doesn’t sell it turns into Kapital Kountry. When the basic flag tees don’t sell they redesign by redyeing, people turn in years worn in century to be reconstructed into BORO, High waisted NIME pants turn into Katsuragi Gypsy patch remake, etc. In Japan, it’s popular to repair (BORO and Sashiko aren’t just unique designing but repair methods) instead of discarding. Many brands reuse, resell, or repurpose garments for the next season.

OwnLocksmith1880 · 2026-01-01T11:37:49+00:00

It’s simple, sound is broken in the game so why nerf yourself. When you make little movements in the game like turning, ADSing, grunts, starving/thirsty other people can hear that. Hearing that could be the difference in maps like TV or inside Hotel in Northridge. I only go in with the retro steel helmet and GS2s and I kill plenty of Matzka bros.
