Black Market & barter
Barter items are valuable collectables found all over the map. Sell them for money, and use the Black Market to buy high-tier gear you won't get at the safe zone traders. Knowing what to keep and where to sell it is an important part of progression.
The two traders
Black Market and barter trader locations are marked on the in-game map; some maps have more than one. Neither has a safe zone.
| Barter trader | Black Market trader | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Sell barter items and collectables for cash | Buy items not sold at safe zone traders |
| Typical goods | Everything collectable | CCTV systems, generators, high-calibre ammo (.338 and above), raid alarm parts, sleeping bags, record players and other exclusives |
These locations are PvP hotspots. Plan your trips and don't carry more than you are willing to lose.
Barter items
Barter items have no combat use but can be extremely valuable. They include:
- Pokémon and other trading cards
- Retro game consoles and gaming items
- Vinyl records (playable on the in-game record player)
- Luxury items such as Rolex watches
- Electronics, antiques and other collectables
Barter items can be found almost everywhere and are sold only at the barter trader next to the Black Market. Some can also be used as base decoration. Now and then we host collectable challenges with in-game rewards, so it can pay off to keep a few.
Pokémon card collection
Booster packs are found in most residential areas. Opening one drops random cards on the ground.
Reward: collect all 102 cards, including the Shiny Charizard, and claim a reward from the admin team: any 2 in-game items of your choice (for example a Heavy Breaching Charge + a Tisy keycard).
- One reward per group; further rewards need further completed binders
- No admin-only items, and the Shiny Charizard cannot be chosen
- The Golden Key, High Tier Key and Elysium keycard count as 2 items
