A large variety of merchants can be bartered with across New California in 2241.

Stores[]

New Reno Arms cage

New Reno Arms

Though almost all characters can be bartered with, stores differ in several ways:

  • Stores sell more items.
    • Generally, a store's wares are more advanced the further south they are on the world map.
    • Each store's inventory can be viewed by clicking the business name in the table below.
  • Stores restock their inventories periodically.
    • Though most stores restock after several days, some can restock as quickly as 12 hours (Jules) and some can take as long as 3 weeks (Dunton House).
    • Each store's restocking periods can be viewed by clicking the business name in the table below.
    • New Reno drug dealers, some doctors and Jagged Jimmy J do not restock their inventories, so they are not included in the table below.
  • Bartering can be initiated with the store's merchant through dialogue.
    • The player can only barter with non-merchant characters by pressing the "BARTER" interface button.
