Escape From Tarkov Has A Complex Trading System

Escape from Tarkov  is both a very complex game and also extremely dedicated to the world it’s set in. This proves to be true with game including in-game currencies, economy, and real-world figures influencing the game.

There are many options for trading items and goods in the game. It has a very dynamic economy with several different currencies that have actual exchange rates that fluctuate much like a real-world economy would.

However the developer did not that this will work independently of any real-world economic trends. Money can be used with traders, at the flea market, and at weekly auctions.

AI traders are discovered as you discover new locations, and each has their own selection of goods and services. Along with their own schedules and discounts, they’ll adjust their prices as the market situation fluctuates, adding a very dimensional feel to the game. Traders can run out of money, get sick, or even die. As a player builds relationships with the traders, prices can be affected in either a positive or a negative way.

Players can also become traders and influence the game’s economy. According to Battlestate, you need to have several elite loyalty ranks with AI traders before you can open your own shop. It’s important to keep your shop stocked with goods or else you’ll go bankrupt. But being a trader gives you somewhat of a discount, and you can have trading relationships with players that mirror the ones with AI traders.

The flea market is a player-only trading system where you can put an item up for a 24 hour period. Auctions are a once weekly event where players can either bid or put their own items up for auction.
