Selling loot

Updated 12 September 20262 min read

Selling to a trader is the fast way to turn what you find into money. Slower but richer: list it on the player market.

What you get#

What you sell Share of the buy price
Items 20 %
Vehicles 25 %

So a 12,000 $ rifle sells for 2,400 $, and a 15,000 $ UAZ for 3,750 $.

Where to take it#

A trader buys even what they do not sell themselves: a rifle off a body goes to the weapons trader, a helmet to clothing.

Each trader only accepts their own category. Rifles to the weapons trader, bandages to the medic, helmets to clothing. The wrong trader simply will not buy.

What cannot be sold#

  • Items outside the catalogue. Anything that is in one sells by its own category: crafted kits, materials, grinders and crowbars go to the tools trader, C4 to the weapons trader.
  • Non-empty containers. A backpack or vest with items inside is refused — empty it first.
  • Stacks only work for weapons and simple items. Backpacks, vests and vehicles go one at a time.

Selling vehicles#

The vehicle must be within 50 metres of the trader and empty — nobody inside.

The cargo does not have to be cleared out: the vehicle trader's card offers two buttons —

  • sell the vehicle together with its cargo (the vehicle goes, you are paid for everything at once);
  • sell the cargo only (you keep the vehicle, you are paid for what was in it).

The second button only appears when the vehicle holds something the catalogue prices. Items outside the catalogue, and containers with things inside, are not paid for: on a cargo-only sale they stay in the vehicle.

You cannot sell someone else's vehicle — you must own it or know the lock code. Mission vehicles cannot be sold at all.

Strictly one at a time.

Cash limit#

You can carry up to 10,000,000 $. If a sale would push you over, it is refused — but the item is not lost, just bank some money first.
