Overview[]
- For the Lost Alpha Skinflint reverts to his old appearance seen in some earlier builds and wears spectacles.
Notes[]
- Always a member of Freedom, this is one exceptionally useful NPC.
- Combines the post of Technician with that of Trader, although he never joins the Trader faction, much as the Bandit trader remains a bandit in the Dark Valley.
- Unfortunately, in patch 1.3003, there seems to be no method of becoming friendly with the Freedom faction and therefore no way to obtain preferential trading terms with Skinflint as a result.
- In common with traders that have unlimited funding, he will purchase any upgraded weapon for full price. Upgrades are also reasonably priced despite his nickname.
- If sold a superiour weapon to the Akm 74/2 that he starts with, he will immediately exchange in favour of that firearm. The player will be unable to buy it back later.
Trivia[]
- If the player joins Duty using Skinflint in his technician capacity becomes problematic, with the nearest alternative being Petrenko back at the Bar.
- He also buys Gauss Rifles for a reasonable price.
