1. List both sides
Write every offered item on the left and right. Recheck the names and variants before assigning any number.
How to Trade in Trade Weapons
Use a cautious comparison workflow without pretending the site knows an official value list or undocumented in-game controls.
Quick answer
Open trade calculatorHow should I compare an offer before accepting it?
How should I compare an offer before accepting it? Use an ordered, cautious offer-comparison method: identify items, record personal values and dates, compare both sides with the linked tool, review uncertainty, and decide independently without undocumented button instructions.
Five checks
A repeatable offer-comparison method
2. Add values you trust
Use one dated value basis for both sides. If a weapon has no trustworthy value, keep it unvalued rather than forcing a guess.
3. Calculate the gap
Enter the two lists in the linked comparison tool. Review both the absolute difference and the percentage against the smaller offer.
4. Check what the total misses
Demand, visual variant, acquisition difficulty, income per second and authenticity may not be represented in a single value number.
5. Decide with uncertainty visible
A close total is not a guarantee of fairness or safety. Pause when an item, value source, or claimed trait cannot be checked.
If stuck
Stop when one side cannot be identified
Do not accept a forced comparison when a name, variant, value date or claimed effect is unclear. Leave the field blank, recheck the offer, and return only when both sides use one value basis.
Common mistakes
A matching total is not the whole trade
Avoid mixing value lists from different dates, treating a visual variant as a confirmed multiplier, and entering a guessed number merely to make the tool produce a verdict.
FAQ
Trade comparison questions
Where do the comparison numbers come from?
The tool performs arithmetic only on the values you enter; it does not contain official game values.
What is a fair Trade Weapons trade?
There is no official fair percentage in the material checked. Choose a tolerance that fits your own evidence and risk.
Does a matching total guarantee a good trade?
No. Totals can omit demand, variants, income, acquisition difficulty, authenticity and personal preference.
What if one weapon has no trustworthy value?
Treat the comparison as incomplete. Do not invent a number just to produce a result.
