DMZ Ashika Island barter recipes: Scavenger backpack, Secured backpack, more

Bartering is a way of life on the island.

The bartering system opens up tons of new possibilities for Call of Duty: DMZ players and turns plenty of the rather cheap valuables you find across the map into something far more useful. At buy stations, players can “barter” or exchange certain cheap items to get something valuable in return, like a special plate carrier, key, or backpack, among other items.

Between deployments to Al-Mazrah, Ashika Island, Building 21, or Vondel, the recipes that are available to you at buy stations are relatively the same. However, some craftable items can only be bartered for on certain maps.

All Ashika Island barter recipes

There are a variety of items available to barter for at Buy Stations, and while most use the same recipe as on any other DMZ map, some are limited just to Ashika Island.

  • Two Toothpaste
  • One Lighter

This is an enhanced version of a regular Gas Mask, allowing you to survive the spreading radiation at the end of a DMZ match for a lot longer. Quite easy to craft, but given you’ll want to exfil long before the radiation can reach you, it’s not the best use for your resources.

The Tempered Vest replaces the three armor plate slots on a normal three-plate vest with two larger slots, meaning you won’t need to carry around as much armor.

The Lost Room 403 Key can be used to enter the secret hidden loot cache on Ashika Island. Nuclear Fuel is most easily acquired via completing Radioactive Material contracts and using the Geiger Counter to discover nuclear caches.

  • One Al-Qatala Train Cargo Manifest

The Manifest is a tough item to acquire, only found in the cargo train safe on Al-Mazrah. Bringing it to Ashika Island will get you access to the MCPR-300, one of the most powerful snipers in the game.

How to craft the GPU in DMZ

  • Two Gold Bars
  • Five Thumb Drives

Incredibly rare to find in the wild, the GPU is primarily used to trade for a Skeleton Key. The GPU can also be sold at buy stations for a lot of money and is also used to complete a specific faction mission.

How to craft the Gold-Fish in DMZ

  • One Ashika Kitsune Original Mask
  • One Dog Bank
  • One Cat Statue

An odd item, the Gold-Fish, once crafted, can be traded at the Koschei Complex Shopkeeper for a unique cosmetic item. Otherwise, it holds extreme worth and can be sold at a Buy Station for a lot of cash.
