Make the most out of your guns with our Mechanic Tarkov Trader guide. When I first started my Tarkov journey, I didn’t think much of Mechanic. He just seemed like the quiet, techy guy buried in the hideout, throwing me tasks that involved parts I couldn’t even pronounce. But over time, I realized Mechanic is one of the most important traders in the game especially if you love modding your weapons, trading rare attachments, and climbing through the early and mid-game gear grind. In this Mechanic Tarkov Trader Guide, I’m going to walk you through

Familiarize yourself with this mysterious figure by reading our Lightkeeper Tarkov Trader guide. When I heard about the Lightkeeper, I thought he was just another mysterious lore figure, until I realized he was the final boss of the Tarkov trader ladder. Hidden away in the Lighthouse peninsula, Lightkeeper doesn’t just offer fancy electronics; he holds the key to endgame support, high-tier quests, and exclusive services that no other trader can touch.  But unlocking him isn’t as simple as leveling up reputation. You’ve got to dive deep into quests, grind up reputation, and complete a whole string

Check out the new merchant in town with our Ref Tarkov trader guide! In the brutal underground world of Tarkov, I didn’t expect to meet someone like Ref.

It’s about survival, reputation, and proving yourself in PvP. Over time, I’ve learned what Ref really

Get your survival needs with our Jaeger Tarkov trader guide! Unlocking Jaeger in Escape from Tarkov wasn’t really a treat at first.  His trades looked a little strange, his quests were punishing, and most of his early rewards felt like more of a burden than a boost. But over time, I started to see how crucial Jaeger actually is.  He’s not just another trader with niche gear, he’s a foundational figure in every wipe. If you’re aiming for Kappa or simply trying to survive the early raids with reliable long-range options, knowing Jaeger inside and

In my first few weeks of playing Tarkov, I didn’t think much of Ragman. He wasn’t selling guns or ammo, and I thought, “Why is this guy even here?”  Fast forward a couple of wipes later, and now I always prioritize unlocking Ragman as early as possible. Whether I’m in need of backpacks, rigs, armor, or even stylish threads just to flex a little in the Hideout, Ragman has it all.  This  Ragman Tarkov Trader Guide is something I wish I had read early on. In this article, I’ll go over who Ragman is, what

Get all your tactical needs with our Peacekeeper Tarkov trading guide. I’ve been hoarding dollars from Scav runs in my Escape in Tarkov raids, and finally realized I could trade with someone who didn’t just offer rusted AKs and ragged armor. Peacekeeper felt like a portal to the West because his NATO gear, pristine suppressors, and slick ammo choices set him apart.  As I progressed, he quickly became my go-to for all things tactical. If you’re trying to level up your PvP or simply want to branch out from the usual traders, this Peacekeeper Tarkov

Snag some of the best deals in the game with our Skier Tarkov Trader guide. I was too busy sucking up to Prapor and Therapist, trying to survive with hand-me-down gear. But as I leveled up and started understanding Escape from Tarkov better, I realized Skier had some of the slickest trades and quests in the game. He’s not your typical “gear up and go” type, he requires a bit more finesse.  In this Skier Tarkov Trader Guide, I’ll help you understand who Skier is, what he trades, and what kind of quests he throws

Get to know this shady dealer with our Fence Tarkov Trader guide. Even after spending hundreds of hours in Escape from Tarkov, Fence was the one trader I barely understood before. Everyone else had clear-cut roles: Prapor with guns, Therapist with meds, and so on—but Fence? He was the wild card.  The guy who bought everything, asked no questions, and didn’t even show his face. Over time, I learned that he wasn’t just some shady black-market figure; he was actually one of the most interesting mechanics in the game.  In this Fence Tarkov Trader Guide,

Get all the meds you need with our Therapist Tarkov Trader guide. In Escape From Tarkov, survival often hinges on preparation, healing, and being smart with your resources. The first few wipes I played, I underestimated just how essential certain traders were. While I was busy modding guns and hoarding ammo, I neglected someone who was just as critical: Therapist.  This Therapist Tarkov Trader Guide is based on my hands-on experience across multiple wipes. I’ve had her save my life more than once, whether it was through post-raid healing or supplying the meds I didn’t

Get your hands on the best weapons and gear through our Prapor Tarkov Trader guide! Prapor was one of the first traders I got comfortable with when I first dove into Escape From Tarkov. If you’re like me, the early wipe grind is all about survival, stacking roubles, and building reputation, and Prapor is your go-to guy for that gritty, no-nonsense military gear. He’s not fancy, but he gets the job done. The man’s got everything from grenades to AKs and even vodka. If you want to dominate in PvP, you definitely need to get
