Traders and the P2P market

Traders are where you cash in your work, not where you skip progression.

If you're coming from another server, note that we don't run a buy-everything economy. Weapons, armor, and high-end gear are mainly earned through AI, quests, exploration, crafting, and trading with other players. Most NPCs here are buyers rather than sellers, and every trader is marked on the map.

  • Hunter: pelts, skulls, and animal meat
  • Mining Buyer (Chernarus): gems and bars
  • Fishing Buyer: whole fish
  • Collectable Trader: collectables, postcards, magazines, board games, and trading cards
  • Drug Trader (Chernarus): weed bricks, cocaine, and mushrooms
  • AI Armband Buyer: armbands taken off dead AI

Vehicles come from the Vehicle Trader, which is split into stalls by tier (C, B, A, and S with helicopters), plus one for base storage and vehicle attachments. For anything else, the P2P market on every server is run by the community, so you buy and sell directly with other players.
