Is the Arms Dealing Scene Dead? Thoughts on Weapon Trading After Recent Updates

-

So, I used to be pretty successful as an arms dealer, raking in caps and trading high-quality weapons. I had a solid mix of three-star weapons, both top-notch and junk, for scrip sales. After taking a break for a few months, I came back and noticed some changes. It seems like the demand for high-quality and scrip weapons has dropped, while the focus seems to have shifted towards mods. Now, breaking down weapons and armor gives a scrip hit, and there’s a chance to learn a mod instead. Is my previous business model doomed? Should I keep my inventory, or is it time to hit the scrap bench and hope for useful mods? I’d appreciate any insights on the current arms dealing situation and weapon trading trends!

Honestly, your best move now is to start selling mods instead of weapons. That’s where the demand is these days.

Yeah, crafting legendary weapons and modding them has really changed the game—it’s made the weapon market less appealing. I used to love checking out player vendors for good weapons, but now they mostly have overpriced junk.

It’s a shame, especially since scrapping boxes now gives you modules, undermining the legendary mod box market too.

Totally hear you on that—guess it’s back to the weapon bench for me. Bummer!

It looks like players are shifting their focus from buying weapons to wanting mods so they can customize their gear. Mods are the new hot commodity!

You can stick to arms dealing, but you’ll need to adjust your prices based on what legendary mods are attached to the weapons you’re selling. If someone scraps your weapon, they might learn a legendary mod plan and you could lose a customer.

Interesting take! So it’s more about the mods than the weapon itself when pricing. Good to know!
