Escape From Tarkov: Skier

·October 5, 2025

When you’re just starting, you’ll visit four traders in the game more than any other, and one of those is Skier. He’s an ideal early-game store with low-tier weaponry, a few notable attachments, and ammunition, especially for your shotguns, which absolutely rock on Factory. Here’s a look at Skier in Escape From Tarkov, including his available quests, stock, and reputation information!

How to Unlock Skier in Escape From Tarkov

As with Prapor, Therapist, and Fence, Skier is one of the unlocked traders available to all players from level one. He’s a fantastic source for your early-game kits, and accepts roubles, which you’ll have in spades!

How to Raise Skier’s Reputation

Like with the other traders in the game, you will level Skier’s reputation by completing quests.

Occasionally, another trader will offer you a quest that may reduce Skier’s reputation.
