Trade-up ladder: this collection only
10 items of one rarity from this collection guarantee an output from the next tier up. Costs use the cheapest wear of the cheapest input; output value is the tier average.
| Input | Cost | Possible outputs | Avg output | EV?Expected value of one trade-up: the tier-average output minus the cost of 10 inputs. Wear carries over from your inputs, and collection ladders are rarely profitable at open asks. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10× Mil-Spec | $0.500 | 5× Restricted | $0.439 avg | -12% |
| 10× Restricted | $3.30 | 3× Classified | $2.73 avg | -17% |
| 10× Classified | $7.19 | 2× Covert | $28.50 avg | +296% |
