In Probably Stolen, scavengers sometimes visit your store looking to trade goods instead of spending Credits. These customers bring different barter offers, and choosing the right deal can help you get valuable items for your survival and progression.
In this guide, I will explain all three types of barter customers, what items they want, and what rewards you can get from each one. Whether you are looking for an Oxymore Injector, useful supplies, or a chance to get rare modules, knowing these trades can make your store more rewarding.
I will also cover when these customers appear, which offers are guaranteed, and which rewards depend on chance. This way, you can prepare the right items before a scavenger arrives and avoid missing a valuable trade.
Probably Stolen Scavenger Barter Guide – Customers, Rewards
Barter customers are scavengers who visit your store and ask for specific items in exchange for one of several possible rewards. Instead of paying Credits, they offer goods that you can accept.
Each customer’s reward offers are rolled when they arrive, so you may see different rewards on different visits. Some offers are always available, while others have a percentage chance of appearing.
Keep in mind that Scav Addicts and Poor Scavs visit less often when your store’s attractiveness reaches 400, and they become extremely rare once it reaches 650.
Scav Addict: Oxymore Injector
The Oxymore Scav Addict is a special customer who wants one Oxymore Injector. In a run with the intro, this customer arrives on Day 13.
What He Wants
- Oxymore Injector x1
Available Barter Offers
| Reward | Chance |
|---|---|
| Wire x4 | Always offered |
| Blood Bag x3 | Always offered |
| Peat x2 and Soda | Always offered |
| Box of PAX Tampons | 15% |
| Combat Knife | 15% |
| Plastic Explosive | 5% |
This customer is worth keeping in mind if you have an Oxymore Injector available. The guaranteed rewards provide useful supplies, while the Combat Knife and Plastic Explosive are less common options.
Scav Addict: Any Narcotic
This Scav Addict asks for a narcotic that is not labeled Junk or Starch Grade. He says, “Hey dude, do you have anything to take the edge off?”
If you choose the Chemist start, this customer arrives on Day 2, making him one of the earliest barter opportunities in that run.
What He Wants
- One narcotic that is not labeled Junk or Starch Grade
The customer will also react to a narcotic that has a flaw, so you can still use a flawed item for this barter.
Available Barter Offers
| Reward | Chance |
|---|---|
| Wire x3 | Always offered |
| Blood Bag x2 | Always offered |
| Glass Shiv, Lead Pipe, and Box Cutter | Always offered |
| Immunivax Injector (expired) | 10% |
| Birth Control Pill x3 | 8% |
| 3 packaged foods | 8% |
| Kotton Fabric x2 | 8% |
| 2 Medical Supplies (Common) | 8% |
| 2 Chemical Supplies (Common) | 8% |
| Combat Knife | 8% |
| Energy Cell (50 to 100 kJ) | 7% |
| Efficiency Module | 6% |
| Performance Module | 6% |

| Box of PAX Tampons | 5% |
| Plastic Explosive | 5% |

| Immunivax Injector (genuine) | 2% |
| Neural Core Module (Capped) | 1% |
| Flux Smelting Agent (Advanced) | 1% |
| Self Charging Energy Cell | 1% |
This is one of the most interesting barter customers because his reward pool includes several useful modules and advanced items. The guaranteed offers are reliable, but the rare modules and genuine Immunivax Injector are much harder to obtain.
If you are preparing for this trade, I recommend keeping a suitable narcotic in your inventory so you can take advantage of the opportunity when he arrives.
Poor Scav: Food
The Poor Scav is a straightforward barter customer who asks for one food item. In a run with the intro, this customer arrives on Day 6.
He asks, “Hey, do you have food?”
What He Wants
- One food item
Available Barter Offers
| Reward | Chance |
|---|---|
| Blood Bag x2 | Always offered |
| Scrap Metal x3 | Always offered |
| Scratcher Ticket x2 | Always offered |
This is an easy barter to prepare for because you only need one food item. The rewards are always available, making this customer a dependable source of Blood Bags, Scrap Metal, or Scratcher Tickets.
Barter Customer Tips
- Keep at least one suitable food item ready for the Poor Scav.
- Save a suitable narcotic if you want to trade with the Scav Addict.
- Keep an Oxymore Injector available if you want to access the special Oxymore barter.
- Check the reward options carefully because rare modules and advanced items can be valuable.
- Remember that barter customers become less frequent as your store attractiveness increases.
Barter customers in Probably Stolen offer a useful alternative to regular Credit-based sales. The Poor Scav provides dependable basic rewards, while the two Scav Addicts offer opportunities to obtain more specialized supplies and rare items.
I recommend preparing the required items ahead of time, especially if you are aiming for the rare module rewards. Since each customer’s offers are rolled on arrival, you may need multiple visits to get the item you want.
