Introduction: Traders Define Your Progress
Every wipe, traders reset their inventories, prices, and favor—you’ll rely on them for gear, keys, barter chains, and quests. But not all traders are equally valuable. Knowing who to prioritize can speed up your progression dramatically.
Trader Tier List 2025
| Trader | Tier | Early-Wipe Utility |
|---|---|---|
| Prapor | S | Unlimited ammo, sewage keys, early weapons |
| Therapist | A | Med supplies, barter, stag kits |
| Skier | B | Optics, barter, but slows progression |
| Peacekeeper | B | Euro-dollar access, high-tier gear later wipe |
| Mechanic & Ragman | C | Armor mods & rigs—useful but pricey early |
Why Prapor Remains King
Prapor’s value isn’t just ammo—it’s momentum. Unlimited mags, consistent firearms, and early access to sewage and weapon crates make him essential. Even ralliers will farm rep early to ensure fast access to top-grade rifle options.
Personal Tier Tips
- Therapist: Hit her reputation early—cheap meds build self-sustained raids.
- Skier: Skip early barter until you can afford optics—don’t block space.
- Peacekeeper: Save Euro-dollars from scav runs to fund mid-wipe weapon purchases.
Conclusion: Spend Time, Not Just Roubles
Trader ranking isn’t just about inventory—it’s about unlocking flow. Prioritize rep with Prapor for peace-of-mind gear and supplies. Then push medals with Therapist and Euro wallets with Peacekeeper. The right order pays dividends well beyond cash.
