Best Barters for Wipe and Low Levels - Escape from Tarkov - Barter Guide

[@Dekk_8]

The barter awl to soap is a Russian proverb: change awl to soap means useless barter. The history of this proverb comes from old times when shoemakers used soap to lubricate awl when repairing leather. They could not work without awl and soap so this barter was useless.

[@SmolDude]

This comment should go up. I really like BSG for this kind of jokes, when I saw this barter first time I unintentionally blow air from my nose.

[@dylanberesford2980]

thanks for this

[@BallstinkBaron]

This makes a lot of sense. Because all wipe I've kept seeing that barter and thinking I was just unlucky to not find an awl

I am not into commenting, but I love tarkov and I really think you are by far the best tarkov streamer for the community at this point. Everything you create is researched and analytical helping others get better at this game. Please don’t stop. You easily deserve to be in the 100k subscriber club. Thank you!

[@blackwoodknight4913]

My first wipe was January of this year and you've come through for me A LOT with all this very useful information and I knew the value of barters but without your videos I never would have realized all of them such as the RAM for the Hybrid 46. You're doing some great research for the community, here's hoping for the best for wipes to come.

[@tinyhobo2042]

I always respected you Mr.Airwing for being one of the least clickbaity and informative tarkov creators out there. Keep it up sir! : )

The MMAC is quite expensive right now. Just the whiskey goes for 40-50k, the fabric is usually around 15 and another 20-30 for the sewing kit.

[@baluray2]

Mechanic’s 870 bleacher shotgun trade to grab a nice sight, underbarrel, and stock. Portable batteries are like 15k right now. I sell the rest of it back for about 18k I think.

[@sigataros]

My best barters: 2 bleach for the ratnik helmet, if you buy at 10k, you get a full durability ratnik helmet for 20k, for use, or for one of the punisher series this goes hand in hand with the 3 half masks for the paca armor, you can get them as low as 6-7k, which would be around 20k for a paca the hunting matches for the tarzan rig works throughout the wipe, you can always buy them at 7-6k, which gives you a rig which costs 13k just to vendor, so you're making 5k everytime you buy them, i use this when i want a cheap rig for a casual run chainlet, buy at 5k rubles, and you can trade 2 of them for a kiver, it's a shitty helmet but usually its way more expensive than 10k 2 of the yellow glasses can buy you an untar helmet which you can sell, or use on factory the yellow glasses are in stock in the beginning of the wipe on fence, and occasionally in the rest of the wipe, i always buy them when i see them 2 corrugated hoses for a ks23, this is a late wipe barter because you need jaeger 4, but when you do get it, you can get a reliable ks23 full version for as low as 20k, if you buy them at 10k which happens rarely, otherwise 15k is also a good deal propane tanks sometimes sell as low as 15k on the flea, but this only happened to me once in the beginning of the wipe, 1 of those can get you a class 3 armor from prapor 1, otherwise u can be saving up for the red rebel barter other tips: buy water filters in the beginning of the wipe, when they aren't worth much, because they can get you alot of money later by using them same for sugar psu and power cords are always profit, the craft on the workbench gives you 6 caps or 8 wires which will always cost more than the psu or power cords

[@vKILLZ0NEv]

the MMAC is like 100k now. That whiskey really ruined that barter

3:15 but this barter for the scope is Prapor lv2 which means the player have the flee market EDIT: Typo

[@JohnFrusciante89]

great content as always, but the music choice... (do you even need music when you are speaking? probably not)

[@Airwingmarine]

We'll look into it. But yes, it's better to have some background music, we may have just gotten it a little loud or played to aggressive of sound tracks.

[@Varinius]

The MMAC barter is dead because of whisky

[@RasmusFrederiksen169]

what about the attack 2 barter on ragman 2? sugar is really cheap early wipe while very few have access to the booze

[@Airwingmarine]

I think the Attack 2 is a bad idea for most players. It's VERY heavy, makes you a huge target, and with the current weight system, you can't fill it and even walk at low levels anyways. If you like it though, by all means, use it.

[@m26pershing98]

What about the whisky added to the mmac barter?

[@Airwingmarine]

Still a great barter, just a little more expensive.

[@SaltEnjoyer007]

MMAC was good last wipe, this wipe that barder can go easly to 100k mate, not 50k. I am back to ratrig for budget armor.

[@МатвейГлазунов-э5ч]

16:11 barter is a joke. In russian soap=milo, awl=shilo, and there is an idiome "to barter shilo for milo", which means to barter one piece of sh*t for another. No practical use of this barter was intended, i believe =)

[@chris-pq3it]

Did they increase the price of stuff for therapist? Cause i feel like salewa from therapist was always 22k and calok-b was always 4.5k

[@Airwingmarine]

They increased the price on a lot of items, reduced it on others, left some unchanged. They are constantly tweaking things.

[@chris-pq3it]

@@Airwingmarine oh alright... thanks for the answer

[@ianlinder2168]

Brother you forgot the m870 barter at mechanic. Once you sell the stripped m870 at jaeger it will cost you between 10k and 15k. For that price you get best in slot stock, very good grip and a fucking Eotech. I use it to kit out my As Val. It's an absolute steal at all point of the wipe but is even better when you don't have those part unlocked.

[@SiberianOldPal]

Barter awl for soap is a joke) It's a Russian saying, which means basically useless barter. I laughed when I saw that

[@coopers1716]

When using M80 on scavs, aim for the overlap between their arm and their thorax. If you do it right, you pen the arm and hit the thorax- the initial arm hit blacks the arm and overflows to the rest of the body and the thorax hit kills. I know you can just headshot them but it's kinda most satisfying.

[@goegr2986]

m80 was moved to peacekeeper level 3 now sadly so the m1a is ass now

[@Airwingmarine]

Just because they took an incredibly powerful amo away doesn't make the gun ass. FMJ is still more powerful than most other rounds available AND m80 is still sellable on the flea...

[@atmospheric17]

I have been enjoying your videos for a while but the price range you said for the MMAC of 50-60k is unrealistic, whiskey+sewing kit is already 70k, + ripstop fabric cost

[@Airwingmarine]

Early wipe prices swing wildly. In a week or two we'll see sewing kits down at 15-20k. Whisky will sit around 35-40k for most of the wipe, and Ripstop won't really kick up in price for a month or two months. Plus, if you craft your own ripstop and whiskey it's even cheaper.

[@assonoso]

@@Airwingmarine There's no way sewing kits will be down to 15-20k. They sell for 24k to therapist so even if someone posts them cheaper people will buy it just to sell it.

[@Airwingmarine]

@@assonoso Didn't realize they changed sewing kits, they were that 15k range last wipe. So they sell for 24k, I was off by 10k. Doesn't change the fact you have a Class 4 armor for less than 80k at Ragman 2, that repairs insanely well and usually comes back in insurance. And again, if you craft your whiskeys and ripstop, your MUCH MUCH cheaper.
