Traders

Traders sell and buy back items for Bottlecaps.

Trader Role
Gunsmith He sells firearms.
Blacksmith He sells melee weapons.
Medic He sells healing items.
Bartender He sells drinks.
Chef He sells food.
Mechanic His name is Bob and he buys back scrap.

Use a trader to open his shop. Each item has its own line, with a Buy button and a Sell button.

  • Buy takes the price from your balance. You need enough Bottlecaps and a free slot in your inventory.
  • Sell takes the item out of your inventory and adds the Bottlecaps to your balance.

Some items are not for sale and others are not bought back. The line of the item says so. Keep a free slot in your inventory before you go to a trader.

  • Rusty Wrench
  • Pack of Cigarettes

Many items carry the word “Salvage”, followed by “Sell to a trader”. They are only there to be sold. Their description also gives their resale price.

No trader serves a player of Bandit rank. Killing zombies brings your humanity back up, and traders serve you again once you are no longer a Bandit.
