Are Flea Market items found in raid?

Answered by Robert Dupre

I can answer that question for you! So, let me tell you about my experiences with flea market items in Escape from Tarkov. In the game, the flea market is a place where players can buy and sell various items. It’s like a virtual marketplace where you can find all sorts of gear, weapons, and other useful items.

Now, when it comes to the found in raid status, it’s important to understand what that actually means. In Escape from Tarkov, when you find an item during a raid, it is considered to be “found in raid” if it is in its original, untouched state. This means that the item must not have been brought into the raid by another player or purchased from a trader.

However, when it comes to items bought on the flea market, they do not have the found in raid status. This means that even if you buy an item from the flea market, it will not count as found in raid. This is because the flea market allows players to sell items they have previously acquired, including items that were not found in their current raid.

The reason for this is to prevent players from easily bypassing the found in raid status by simply buying the items they need from other players. It adds a layer of realism and challenge to the game, as players are encouraged to search for items themselves during raids, rather than relying on the flea market for all their needs.

So, to sum it up, items bought on the flea market do not have the found in raid status. They are still useful and can be used in your raids, but they will not count towards any quests or objectives that require found in raid items. It’s important to keep this in mind when planning your strategies and deciding where to acquire the gear you need.

I hope this explanation helps clarify the issue for you. Happy raiding in Escape from Tarkov!
