Stop wasting money - Escape From Tarkov - Barter Guide

Too many folks ignore the best barters in Escape From Tarkov. EFT barters are some of the best ways to save money on gear and weapons, as well as occasionally make a little bit of money with zero risk. In this video specifically we cover the barters on Loyalty Level 1 and 2 for each trader, so you don't need to be level 40 or 42 to take advantage of them.
If you can't commit a ton of time to Escape From Tarkov it can be difficult to generate enough rubles to fund your raids. These handful of trader barters will help you glitch a little extra money to fund your raids.

Propane and fuel conditioner for metal fuel tank. Has SAVED ME HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS this wipe and it all thanks to you. Would have never have know if I didn’t watch every new tarkov economy based upload. Keep it up bud!

[@fret2442]

Got a really good one for Mechanic to get cheap Delta Points - LL2, barter 5 regular light bulbs for his kitted Glock 17 with the extended mag. Light bulbs are usually easy to snipe around 7k. If you get them for 7k or cheaper, you get the pistol for 35k roubles. Take off the delta point sight and the mount and sell the pistol back to mechanic for about 22k - end result is your delta point for about half of what they cost at Peacekeeper 2, and way, WAY cheaper than players sell them on the flea, and you get the mount included in that.

[@agentham]

The day pack is the lightest of the 3 as well, so helps reduce total weight on your PMC. And I love that MP-153 barter when I get the keys for 7k each.

[@thedilutedspine]

I really thought I was already hitting barters hard this wipe but there were a few in here I had no clue were there. Gonna be rocking the hybrid suppressor barter for sure going forward!

[@grand7777777777]

My favorite barter so far has been the ump forsure. I've been able to cheese 2 of them for free just by doing scav runs. Know it's not alot but when your terrible at the game 2 free guns is 2 free guns

Just wanna say your videos are fantastic dude. Zero bullshit, nothing but useful information. I'm a relatively new player and your videos have been invaluable. Thank you!

[@frost1315]

I can't pick a specific barter! There all very useful especially for some of my lower level friends. Your videos are always very informational and you've single handedly got me to deeper at the crafts and hideout stations. Keep up the great work!

[@petekennedy5639]

love the barter vids dude I'm still learning them after 1900 hours in game! I forget so many and these vids just give me a mice reminder of a lot of them, keep it up man.

I listen to your videos in between raids 100% of the time. Alt+Tab over during loading. Its awesome.

[@Kang_Ki_Hyeon]

Ain't gonna lie, I used *ALL* of Therapist's LL1 Quest Key barters to do those early quests. Started like 1-2 weeks late into the wipe, and was running into these quests while being below lvl 15, and couldn't for the life of me find these keys. Those are great barters for low lvl/new players to get those required quest keys and be able to progress down those quest lines. Great list overall Marine, you doing the community proud 👍

[@tf_lecter]

I recently got my RSASS from the moonshine scav case so I finally got around to doing the gunsmiths. Already had my reap-IR from the Import quest so I made a TON of money following your guides (and some shortcuts I had collected in raid). Huge stuff. Have also been absolutely MILKING your SJ1 barter -> SJ6 craft advice. I've never been this rich without selling my thicc case :D

[@LostBear.]

I just bartered the RSASS for dogtags cause I'm impatient and didn't have a scav case at the time. Not sure what trader it was, I think it was Mechanic.

[@Donnnyyy]

man ngl, I never really got into your content but this wipe you have become one of my favorites I have learned so much I respect it man!!

[@CivRichieP]

really enjoy your barter item videos and flea market value vids. Pretty much the only reason I know what to keep and what to pass over. Mainly the ideology of putting a value on each square in the inventory.

This wipe i learnt alot espacially when it comes to gunsmith quests, Thank you for your effort and awesome content. My fav barter is ultra 5 supressor from skier, i dont have to pay 50or more rouble i can give 1 boss cap 2 black cap then get myself a nice supressor.

[@sailyourface]

Ah yes all the good barters will now be 50% more expensive! Even with that others can hopefully save a buck good video AWM! My favorite barter used to be the M1 rig, but this wipe it's been the MMAC rig definitely feels like a more mobile rat rig for a similar price.

[@FuckGoogle2]

Maybe or more people will loot the items used for barters and the supply will increase.

[@frostyglock317]

Mmac is definitely the budget rig I think. Great to repair and almost always get it back. This my second wipe amd I ran it for a while but since I've gotten proper high enough I'm either trying to run the korund or whatever good things I get from scav

[@sp00kyd4ddy6]

i wouldnt say rat its basically an all in one Trooper armored rig you sacrifice the convenience for health tho

[@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem]

this, and also the stupid devs are likely to increase the barter cost. yesterday a modded AK104 was 3 GP coins now its 5 because 1 small youtuber made a video about it and now RIP that barter. i swear its like the devs just have a team of people watching tarkov youtube tip videos to see whats good then think "hey lets ruin that". i genuinely think the devs sit around thinking all day how to make the game harder. next update 1 shot to the heart from a weak pistol bullet will probably kill you, because the games not hard enough as is ofc.

Good tip is to disassemble guns the mechanic won’t buy like the mp-155, sell him the barrel, mag and stock. Then just sell the reviver to the fence gets a lot more disassembled that put together.

[@attackdogs3455]

Smart

[@knapton2]

My favourite early level barter has to be the BT ammo for 2 beef stew from Prapor level 2. BT goes for about 1000 rubles a round and beef stew is about 10k rubles a can. Saves 10k per box.

[@mikeortiz410]

Awesome video, loved finding some barters I didn't know about and seeing the ones I use all the time in action. Literally have a junkbox dedicated to barter trades I use frequently. Would love to see another video down the line focused on the higher tier barters.

[@Airwingmarine]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@MAGNOLA50]

I like the slickers barter for the scav vest. Thank you for sharing the information

[@jakovloncar3244]

One of my favorite barters that you did not include in video is Tarzan rig for 1 hunting matches (5k) at Jager

[@Od4n]

Traders pay more than 5k for that rig. Although, I'd do it too as I can't find hunting matches easily.

[@KrisDecker]

UMP 45 from Peacekeeper. never used SMGs in 4 wipes but watching you slay people with this gun I had to try and have been consistently 2:1 at least K/D ratio with it! Really like that this channel helps out the casual little guys who love the game or are just learning and ins&outs

That SCAR-L barter is amazing!! Thank you for the info mate!

I love the Glock barters for Mechanic level 2. You can get some really kitted pistols with suppressors and red dots for dirt cheap and you can use the attachments for other guns too, primarily SMGs.

Just by an AKMNS for the punisher quest, it's usually below 25k and add a dovetail optic plus shoulder pad, cheap but good enough for scav hunting. When you are already lvl15 that is

What a great Secret Barter! Using it since last wipe, has saved my butt uncountable times, by far my favourite barter, though the AKM for Tushonkas and Mechanic trsde for M-Lok Rails are following it closely.

[@nocturnal770]

Liked and subscribed. Thank goodness this video was in my recommended. Seriously, thank you for letting us know about these barters, especially the Trizip barter for Ragman! I actually did the keytool barter with therapist this wipe for around 290k rubles. Much better than paying 750k+!

[@OtterVonBiscuit]

Slickers for scav vest is the barter I use the most. I laugh when I pull a vest out of raid or my scav and I can sell it for 26969 or something then turn around and use my crafted slickers to barter for most and craft ripstop. Keep up the great content Airwing!

[@pagingdoctorsideburns]

Hey for all the good info in here and in your other content, I wanted to mention something you might be overlooking. When you were talking about the Trizip and the Daybag, you mentioned that they have a pretty tight profile for their internal size (and you're right), but one thing you didn't bring up is that they are both also significantly lighter for their size compared to other bags. Daybag in particular is pretty nuts coming in at .56kg compared to Scav bag at 1.4kg! If you check the non-armored rigs you will find some of those are seemingly randomly out of line with weight as well. I always run the Thunderbolt because it's .62kg whereas some rigs that are the same size or marginally bigger will add up to a full KG of weight (Azimut is 1.6, Triton is 1.3)!

[@vampirehunter_lee]

Favourite barter is probably still the UMP. I just keep my melee slot empty, and grab the knifes from scavs, and after a while I magically have a free UMP that I can run on customs/interchange or any more CQB-oriented map.

[@yotyytoy9294]

don't forget the Mechanic barter for the UMP, 1 DVD, HDD and 2x caps. After one good Interstate run you can have those items if you loot a bunch of pc's at Oli or IDEA.

MMAC Rig and The 133 barters are normally my favorite. The 133s normally make you profit selling them back to mech. Also gives you decent foregrips and sites you can use cheap heh.

[@DefianceOrDishonor]

The AVS is probably my most used barter. I check the Golden TTs on a regular basis and buy them up when they're around 30 - 35k. I find a ton of Golden Chainlets on my scav runs so I never need to buy them. The MMAC only protects the Thorax and while some people prefer that, I prefer not having my guts on the floor lol. The amount of times I've had a raid go bad because my stomach is shot out and I can't repair it right away and I lose energy-- I always carry food and an Aquarmari into raid and I've still been screwed over with energy/thirst due to a blacked out stomach. The extra effective durability on your Thorax doesn't feel worth it for me, but that's a personal choice thing. The AVS also only impacts your ergo by 2% which is really nice. One thing great about the barters is I do a lot of scav runs and even on my PMC runs-- I'm not always filling my backpack completely. I'll pick up *everything* until I'm overweight or lacking slots, then I'll replace the worst items as I go etc etc. So I'll often come out of a raid with a lot of cheap not worthwhile items like nails or a chainlet so taking advantage of those barters is really strong because you shouldn't ever actually need to purchase the items required in the first place. You should just accumulate them naturally as you play.

[@thamottuz7894]

I gave you a sub just for the cool part where you became a trader! keep up the good work!!

My favorite barter that you actually showed me was the Mechanic with the shotgun to Jaeger. The 2 elites and red screwdriver. Very common to find and if you can snipe cheap on flea Jaeger buys it for 45k

[@KenneMCL]

I wish there was an easier way to know what all the items are used for as far as crafting and barters. This is my first wipe and far to often I run out of room in my junk boxes and sell stuff that I later found I needed for crafting or barters as I leveled. This video is invaluable to me! Also your weapons weaponsmith videos were how I found you. I watched and crafted at the same time thank you!
