Scavland Merchant Prices & Trader Guide

Quick answerTrading in Scavland requires matching scavenged loot to merchant specializations while leveraging reputation progression and key vendor locations. Trader Volodymyr, stationed at the Crossroads annex outside central Zalesye, serves as the primary black-market armorer: he operates with zero reputation rank requirements, making him accessible even if your faction standing collapses. In Update 0.7.0, Volodymyr's weapon attachments are approximately 35% cheaper, he sells Advanced and Expert Repair Kits as well as an Expert Repair Kit Blueprint, and his contracts focus on high-quality weapons and dangerous mutants. Across the wider economy, Update 0.7.0 introduced a +5% sell value bonus per Trader Rank and allowed purchasing a Stash expansion from a Trader in the main village for 50,000 Rubles to unlock an additional Stash tab. Traders maintain strict specializations: Zhivan pays 140% for Common items, Bogdan pays 40% more for Mutant Parts, Vesna buys Common items at 75% and Clothing at 60%, and Grigory pays premium rates for attachments while buying Common items at 50% (no longer buying Food, Medical, or Crafting items). Items like Rope, Household Batteries, Incandescent Bulbs, Car Batteries, and Copper Wiring currently lack crafting recipes and should be sold as pure barter salvage, while Spark Plugs fetch premium rubles.

01 · Trader Volodymyr Location & Zero-Reputation Trade: Head southwest from central Zalesye toward the Crossroads annex near the Neutral Chapel perimeter to locate Trader Volodymyr. Volodymyr requires zero faction reputation rank to purchase his inventory, making him the premier emergency arms dealer for disgraced or unaligned scavengers.
02 · Exploit Volodymyr's Update 0.7.0 Inventory & Contracts: In Update 0.7.0, Volodymyr's weapon attachments were discounted by approximately 35%, and he now sells Advanced and Expert Repair Kits alongside an Expert Repair Kit Blueprint. Additionally, Volodymyr's contracts focus on high-quality weapons and dangerous mutants, offering lucrative early ruble payouts.
03 · Purchase 50,000 Ruble Stash Expansions in Main Village: In the main village, visit a Trader and purchase a Stash expansion for 50,000 Rubles to unlock an additional Stash tab (Update 0.7.0). Note that newly added camp stashes and workbenches across all four main camps (Arcadia, Mechanist Base, Mudlark Camp, Microrayion) feature only one tab and maintain independent inventories from the village; only the main village stash can be upgraded.
04 · Loot Triage — Barter Salvage vs Workbench Materials: In Early Access, workbench crafting recipes are strictly mechanical and medical (Scrap Metal, Weapon Springs, Clean Cloth, Antiseptic, Water Bottles, Gunpowder, Ballistic Fiber). Items such as Rope, Household Batteries, Incandescent Bulbs, Car Batteries, and Copper Wiring have zero crafting use and represent pure barter weight to sell for rubles. Spark Plugs are the exception, fetching high prices from Anatoly and Zhivan.
05 · Match Salvage to Merchant Category Specializations: Never dump all loot into one trader. Zhivan pays 140% for Common items; Bogdan pays 40% more for Mutant Parts; Vesna buys Common items at 75% and Clothing at 60%; Nadja pays 90% for Common and 80% for Crafting; and Grigory buys Common items at 50% while paying premium rates for weapon attachments (he no longer buys food, medical, or crafting supplies).
06 · Compound Profits with Trader Rank Bonuses (+5% per Rank): Update 0.7.0 awards an additional 5% sell value per Trader Rank. Completing daily contracts for settlement merchants permanently compounds the rubles earned on every sold firearm, attachment, and scavenged electronic part.
