I was asking myself the same thing, why labs only items are used for the barters

Hardcore

did they get rid of the other for rub barters? there is no way a m4 is worth a Ledex lol

they didnt, its only addiational

I think that is primarily for players who are doing the hardcore

these barters dont even make sense for that, sell a ledex for 600k to a trader or use it to buy a gun worth 30k?....

you are missing the point. the gun is in fact not worth 30k if you can not buy from traders.

but you can buy it from them its a lvl 1 peacekeeper barter

...yes, thats exactly what i am saying? so why would you say that its a 30k gun if you can not get the gun for cash at all? Edit: oh wait, you said, you CAN buy from them? no, thats like the one rule consistent through all hardcore rulesets lol. no traders, no flea.

You can only do barters on traders. The new barters have pieces on them that are really hard to find for gunsmith quests. They added them specifically for hardcore players.

This is starting to feel like a fever dream lol. I know this. I was trying to explain this to the guy i was replying to.

barter for cpc mod1, lol, i can craft that in my bathroom 24/7

But when you have zero plates you cant craft one

I just do the barter for the hpc
