Mechanic/Black Swan

｢Hello, mercenary. I've been asking myself the same question all day: why does no one notice the obvious patterns in platinum price fluctuations? A crisis is coming, and they keep calling me a pessimist... That's alright. We'll see how much they're willing to pay for platinum once the prices go through the roof.

I need to prepare. There are old heat exchangers scattered across Tarkov, and they still contain Soviet-era corrugated tubing with platinum inserts. Would you help me replenish my reserves? Just mark the heat exchangers with strobes, and I'll pay you well.
