This guide helps you decide which items are worth collecting during a run and which ones to leave behind. It also provides the expected prices for each item you can sell, ensuring you maximize your profits and make the most out of every run.
The Forever Winter: Loot and Price Guide
The game is still pretty new, so exact prices are still being figured out. I’ve used Heisenburg’s sell offers (Rep Level 2 at 100% cost) to estimate prices since it seems the most accurate.
Keep in mind, selling to Bunco (Scav Weaponry vendor) usually gives lower prices.
