For the people who call the flea market and traders BS

The game is supposed to have limited resources, it’s a first come first serve - dog eats dog world. If you can’t get the highest pen damage bullet then go for the highest flesh damage bullet. I can almost guarantee that it’s cheap. As long as your enemy’s not wearing gen4 full just go for the legs and you will do well. If they don’t have arm armor then go for the arms too. The community isn’t shit, they are genius in the fact they know what players want and how to make profit. You can find everything in raid.

Can’t find that m995? Easy go to labs, kill a few raiders, hope for one that has an hk/m4/mdr (mdr chambered in 5.56).

Can’t get igolnik? Well there is a quest to kill a certain scav boss 100 times and he tends to spawn with a metric ton of it.

Can’t get Luger or rip ammo? Well labs has it on the raiders like the m995.

Can’t get a labs keycard? Well first off 2 bitcoin at mechanic gives you one or you could sell those two bitcoin to therapist/flea market to buy a entry card and have some cash left over. Or alternatively you could do your scav runs, they tend to have keycards pretty often.

Don’t want to do scav runs? Well raiders can spawn on reserve.

Don’t want to do reserve or labs? Why buy the game and not play it to its fullest?

I will say the only ammo I don’t know how to find is the AP 6 but I never have a problem buying it from a trader.

All in all, it’s good the flea market is run by the players, yes it can be annoying when you go to buy something but someone beats you to it, or annoying now how we have to put Min. Amount to 1 to get rid of the red out of stock trades. However this game is meant to be in a place where things are not abundant. You have to learn where the loot spawns. If you are to lazy to play the game and figure it out, there are plenty of guides on YouTube.

I feel like this game has things that are going for it and things that need to be fixed. But the game is still years out from full release. Things will change. I remember back when meds didn’t have animations and you could heal while shooting someone. There was also a time where “hey my 60 round mag is empty? Let me INSTANTLY fill it up and not wait a decade to do so.”
