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 | $1.37 | 4× Restricted | $1.05 avg | -23% |
| 10× Restricted | $6.50 | 3× Classified | $9.30 avg | +43% |
| 10× Classified | $55.20 | 2× Covert | $50.80 avg | -8% |
