Here is a little recap, both for new players since switching to F2P, and for old players who would be a little lost following the changes made to merchants and their in-game locations.
General Merchant Notes
- Each merchant, excluding factions, offers 2 or 3 special items (promotion / flash sale) for a limited time, they are systematically displayed at the top of the list. Not to be overlooked especially to find interesting mods.
- It is recommended to do the merchant carousel (via teleportation) when you want to check promotions and buy a specific type of mod and find your happiness.
- Note that player A will not see the same promotions as player B.
- The mod dealer may offer a special one for another type of weapon.
- Faction merchants do not have specials.
- Generic merchants sell basic green weapons and consumables (grenades, dopas, dynapods, arcade batteries) but still offer promotions.
- Mod merchants offer T2 / T3 (green and blue)
- Faction merchants offer epic mod lockboxes / boxes containing T4 (100%) and single mod caches give T2 / T3 / T4 (random) and only with faction synergies. Only the Eden and Chimera factions offer T5.
- Equipment crates that can be purchased in certain factions (ex: VBI) give random items (weapons / mods / outfits / arcos).
- The mention the reference + Safe Below indicates that there is also a chest merchant to obtain level 2/3 / 4 chests for keys obtained during open world events.
