Trading is vital to survival in Pathologic 2. As the value of currency fluctuates, trading with townsfolk is one of the guaranteed ways to obtain important items such as food, drugs, and clothes. A comprehensive list of shops that accept money in exchange for goods can be found on the Stores page.
Recurring Trades
Some trades are unique to specific types of NPCs or one specific NPC.
Townsfolk
- → See Townsfolk
The player can trade with generic townsfolk if their district reputation is high enough. Some townsfolk can repair clothes or weapons, if the player can provide the necessary items.
Worms
- → See Worms
After healing the schism in the Kin within the Termitary, the Haruspex may travel to Shekhen and trade with Worms for herbs and other items in exchange for organs, ammo, and tinctures.

Dandy
- → See Dandy
Dandy trades for ammo, Morphine, Needles, and Lockpicks. He also gives the Haruspex an Infection Map on Day 4 and will trade for another every subsequent day. Similar to stores, Dandy receives a new inventory at the start of each day.
The first Infection Map on Day 4 will be given to the Haruspex for free by talking to Dandy outside of the Soul-and-a-Half Fortress. Afterwards, the Haruspex must trade with Dandy to receive Infection Maps. The value of Infection Maps will increase daily.

Depending on the day, Dandy's values for Needles, Revolver Ammo, and Rifle Ammo will fluctuate (however Revolver Ammo's variance is likely due to a typo in the game's code).
- On Day 5, Dandy will begin to offer Shotgun Ammo and cease to offer Immunity Boosters.
- On Day 9, Dandy will begin to offer Rifle Ammo.

Similar to trading with other NPCs or selling to shops, Dandy's regard for weapons scales with their durability. The listed values reflect trades made at 100% durability.
While Dandy accepts Metal Scraps, Springs, and tinctures for higher values than anyone else in the game, his regard for drugs is exceptional.
- On Day 5, Dandy will begin to accept Immunity Boosters.

Meat Kinsman
The Meat Kinsman is a member of the Kin who the Haruspex finds on Day 1 sitting by the train tracks near the Factory. There will be several other people from the Kin standing near him and they will disperse when the Haruspex approaches. He asks if the Haruspex would like some meat and the Haruspex questions why he has it, as it isn't the right time of year for them to be eating meat. He tells the Haruspex that it was stolen from one of Big Vlad's storehouses that had been broken into the day before. He has exactly 3 Smoked Meat for trade, and will depart after having traded with the Haruspex, regardless of how much meat they exchanged.
In dialogue, the Meat Kinsman's name is simply written as "Khatangher".

Steeper offers the Haruspex a Revolver on Day 1. The gun can be bought for ¤3000, and its condition is at 50% when purchased. Steeper's offer will remain available until the end of Day 3.

Evergreen
Evergreen seeks out the Haruspex on Day 2 and gives him a quest about trading that can increase reputation across all districts.
Conveniently, Evergreen may be traded with after receiving her quest. However if the player's district reputation is too low, they will be unable to trade with her and will have to find another woman to trade with to complete that portion of the quest.
While Evergreen is a Starling NPC, her trade preferences are actually those of a Dove. The following table is an example of a Dove NPC's trade preferences.
