The Tarkov Handbook

Traders & Tasks

Tasks are the most efficient way to level up and unlock gear in Tarkov — and every task runs through one of these eight traders.

The Traders

Task Items

Every found-in-raid item a trader task requires you to hand over — 187 items across 245 quest requirements, compiled from all 8 traders' quest lists. Reward items aren't included, only what you need to find and turn in. A few rows are categories rather than one specific item (the quest just says "any" one of a group) — check the linked quest for the exact wording before farming.
