How many traders are in Arc Raiders?

Five: Apollo, Celeste, Lance, Shani and Tian Wen. Between them they list 103 items. Apollo, Celeste and Lance accept 66 distinct trades between them; no barter list is on file for Shani or Tian Wen. Both feeds this page draws on name those five and no others. The Nomadic Envoys, whose trader the Frozen Trail 2.0 notes say is now Cassio rather than Ermal, are not covered here.

How do trader prices relate to an item's value?

For the Coin traders in the feeds, the price is exactly three times the item's own value. Every one of Apollo's twenty listings follows that rule. Shani and Tian Wen take their prices from the wiki, which rounds most of them, so no multiplier is computed from their lists.

Arc Raiders Traders: All Five, Their Currencies and Full Stock Lists

Arc Raiders' five traders are Apollo, Celeste, Lance, Shani and Tian Wen. They do not all take the same currency, so Celeste's prices are not a discount.

The five traders

ARC Raiders has five traders: Apollo, Celeste, Lance, Shani and Tian Wen. Between them they list 103 items for sale. Apollo, Celeste and Lance accept 66 distinct trades between them; no barter list is on file for Shani or Tian Wen.

The single most useful thing to know before you read a price list is that they do not all take the same currency. That one fact explains why trader prices look wildly inconsistent when you line them up.

What Frozen Trail 2.0 changed

Frozen Trail 2.0 (October 8, 2026) changed trader stock. Per the official patch notes, Tian Wen no longer sells the Anvil or the Hullcracker, which moved to the Nomadic Envoys' weekly rotation, and Launcher Ammo and Energy Clips now carry a daily purchase limit. Shani now prices in Coins, because Cred was removed from the game. Tian Wen's and Shani's lists below are read from their wiki pages as updated for the patch. Celeste and Apollo gained new offers, and the Nomadic Envoys replaced Ermal with Cassio. Apollo's, Celeste's and Lance's lists below are the pre-update lists until a post-update source is read. Read the Frozen Trail 2.0 patch notes.

What each trader takes

Trader	Currency	Items listed	Trades accepted	What they deal in
Apollo	Coins	20	20	Quick Use, Recyclable
Celeste	Assorted Seeds	26	27	Topside Material, Basic Material
Lance	Coins	16	19	Quick Use, Augment, Shield
Shani	Coins	11	not on file	Quick Use, Key
Tian Wen	Coins	30	not on file	Weapon, Modification, Ammunition

Apollo, Lance, Shani and Tian Wen price in Coins. Celeste trades against Assorted Seeds. A Celeste price of 1 and an Apollo price of 18,000 are not comparable numbers. They are different units. Reading Celeste's single-digit prices as a discount is the mistake this table exists to prevent.

The Coins price is exactly three times item value

Every one of the 36 items the Coin traders in the feeds list is priced at exactly 3.00x the item's own value. That makes an item's listed value a reliable predictor of what a Coin trader will charge for it. Shani and Tian Wen are left out of that count: their lists are read from the wiki, which rounds most prices, so no multiplier is computed from them.

Why the multiplier is three is not documented anywhere I can source, so this page states the pattern and not a reason for it.

Apollo: 20 items for Coins

Apollo is the throwables and utility counter. Nineteen of his twenty listings are Quick Use items: grenades, light sticks, the Recorder. If you are restocking consumables before a raid, this is the shortest list to read.

Item	Type	Rarity	Price (Coins)	Item value
Deadline	Quick Use	Epic	18,000	6,000
Trailblazer	Quick Use	Rare	6,600	2,200
Heavy Fuze Grenade	Quick Use	Rare	4,800	1,600

13 of Apollo's 20 trades carry a daily limit.

Celeste: 26 items for Assorted Seeds

Celeste is the odd one out and the reason this page starts with a currency table. She deals exclusively in crafting materials, twenty-two Topside and four Basic, and she takes Assorted Seeds rather than Coins. Her prices run from 1 to 60, which is a seed count and not a bargain.

Item	Type	Rarity	Price (Assorted Seeds)	Item value
Complex Gun Parts	Topside Material	Epic	60	3,000
Exodus Modules	Topside Material	Epic	55	2,750
Heavy Gun Parts	Topside Material	Rare	15	700

22 of Celeste's 27 trades carry a daily limit.

Lance: 16 items for Coins

Lance covers survivability. His sixteen listings are shields, augments and support Quick Use items, and he is the only trader who accepts something other than a currency: three of his nineteen trades are paid with a Free Loadout Augment.

Item	Type	Rarity	Price (Coins)	Item value
Heavy Shield	Shield	Epic	16,500	5,500
Combat Mk. 2	Augment	Rare	6,000	2,000

Adrenaline Shot	Quick Use	Common	900	300
Bandage	Quick Use	Common	750	250

8 of Lance's 19 trades carry a daily limit.

Shani: 11 items for Coins

Per the wiki's Shani page, her eleven listings are a Remote Raider Flare, a Firecracker, Binoculars, four Light Sticks, two cameras, a Fireworks Box and the Raider Hatch Key, priced in Coins. She is the only trader who lists a Key. Frozen Trail 2.0 removed Cred, and Shani now charges Coins. Her list is the wiki's Shani page as updated for the patch; it rounds most prices (1.9k, 3k), so they are shown exactly as the wiki shows them, not as exact Coin amounts. Read the wiki's Shani page, read 2026-10-08.

Item	Type	Rarity	Price (Coins)	Item value
Raider Hatch Key	Key	Rare	9k, 2 per day	2,000
Fireworks Box	Quick Use	Rare	6k, 3 per day	2,000
Advanced Camera	Quick Use	Rare	3k, 3 per day	1,000

Firecracker	Quick Use	Common	810	270
Remote Raider Flare	Quick Use	Common	810	270

Three of her eleven listings carry a daily limit on the wiki's page.

Tian Wen: 30 items for Coins

Tian Wen is the weapons dealer, and the largest list here. Per the wiki's Tian Wen page she sells twelve weapons, twelve modifications and six ammunition types, priced in Coins. Four of the ammunition rows are stacks, so their price buys the number shown beside it, not one round; the page shows no stack size for Energy Clip and Launcher Ammo. Frozen Trail 2.0 changed Tian Wen's stock. Her list is the wiki's Tian Wen page as updated for the patch; it rounds most prices (1.92k, 21k), so they are shown exactly as the wiki shows them, not as exact Coin amounts. The page shows 15/15 on Launcher Ammo and 20/20 on Energy Clips without saying whether that counts purchases or rounds, so no daily figure is given for those two. Read the wiki's Tian Wen page, read 2026-10-10.

Item	Type	Rarity	Price (Coins)	Item value
Osprey I	Weapon	Rare	21k, 1 per day	7,000
Rascal I	Weapon	Rare	21k, 2 per day	7,000

Twenty-one of her thirty listings carry a daily limit on the wiki's page.

What this page does not know

The two feeds behind the Apollo, Celeste and Lance lists agree on 54 of the 54 prices they both carry, which is unusually strong for community data. A further three trades are matched across the sources but not compared, because they are paid with a Free Loadout Augment rather than a currency, and a quantity of 1 augment is not a number you can hold against a price in Coins. What neither source records is where any trader physically stands, whether stock rotates, whether prices scale with reputation, or what a daily limit resets on. Those are all reasonable questions and none of them are answered here, because answering them would mean guessing.

Frequently asked questions

How many traders are in Arc Raiders?: Five: Apollo, Celeste, Lance, Shani and Tian Wen. Between them they list 103 items. Apollo, Celeste and Lance accept 66 distinct trades between them; no barter list is on file for Shani or Tian Wen. Both feeds this page draws on name those five and no others. The Nomadic Envoys, whose trader the Frozen Trail 2.0 notes say is now Cassio rather than Ermal, are not covered here.
Is Lance an ARC enemy in Arc Raiders?: No. Lance is one of the five traders. He deals in shields, augments and support items, and he is the only trader who accepts something other than a currency: three of his nineteen trades are paid with a Free Loadout Augment. There is a separate collectible item called Lance's Mixtape (5th Edition), which is unrelated.
Why are Celeste's prices so much lower than Apollo's?: Because they are different currencies. Apollo, Lance, Shani and Tian Wen price in Coins. Celeste trades against Assorted Seeds. A Celeste price of 1 and an Apollo price of 18,000 are not comparable numbers.
How do trader prices relate to an item's value?: For the Coin traders in the feeds, the price is exactly three times the item's own value. Every one of Apollo's twenty listings follows that rule. Shani and Tian Wen take their prices from the wiki, which rounds most of them, so no multiplier is computed from their lists.
