Loot, selling & what to keep

Make the keep-or-sell decision

Last Stop’s official game description makes looting and selling part of the core loop. A valuable pickup is useful because it can pay for the next stage, but selling a needed supply can create a more expensive problem than it solves.

Before a terminal sale, separate the group’s essentials from its spare haul. If you are attempting Junk King, empty cans have a special purpose with Noodle. If you are pursuing Cure Fred, protect the cure potion rather than treating it as ordinary loot.

Read the current sale value

Use the price shown in your current run when comparing two pickups. Prices can differ between items and rarities, so compare the amount displayed at the terminal before deciding what to sell.

The budget tool below accepts your sale proceeds and planned purchases. Enter the amounts displayed at the terminal to see whether the purchases leave you with a positive reserve.

Selling goals and vault goals

The Gold Hoarder requirement refers to the value in your vault. It is a different target from the cash earned by selling items. Keep those counters separate when planning a badge run. A large cash balance alone is not the condition written on the Gold Hoarder badge.

A quick terminal routine

In a group, agree who is collecting and spending the proceeds. The team video shows how confusing a shared haul can become when players pick up each other’s money and items. Clear roles make the same loot more useful without adding another detour.

1. Read the next journey’s shortages: fuel, food, ammunition or replacement parts.
2. Put quest supplies and your active loadout aside.
3. Sell agreed spare items and note the actual proceeds.
4. Buy essentials first, then equipment improvements.
5. Recheck the bus and your inventory before leaving.
