New Arc Raiders Update Offers An Unbeatable Shotgun Deal

Stopping by Nomadic Traders in Arc Raiders will allow you to chat with Ermal, a black market dealer who provides an additional way to get your hands on particularly rare items. These items include everything from outfits and other customization options to guns and rare blueprints. However, if you want to make a deal with Ermal, you’ll need to be sure you have what he wants to trade. And if you’re after some good shotguns, you’ll want to take the opportunity to cut a deal with him this week.

Currently, Ermal is offering some Vulcano IVs for trade for some relatively reasonable items that aren’t too hard to come by during casual exploration. If you’ve got some of these items, or happen to stumble upon them while raiding, it’s a good idea to visit Nomadic Traders and get yourself kitted out. Here’s what you’ll need to trade for Vulcano IVs, as well as everything else Ermal has available for trade this week.
