The Gambler offers various mystery boxes for PMCs who desire to gamble their way to riches or go broke trying. This trader also offers random kit generation with the new Mystery Loadout Box, which provides all the equipment you need to run a raid.
Gambler Overview
The Gambler trader sells a variety of configurable mystery boxes that offer new ways to gamble for riches and better player equipment. Gambler specifically offers ways to randomly generate loadouts and gear at the click of a button. All gambling containers except for loadouts are dynamically priced by the Gambler depending on all possible rewards in each mystery box, specific odds for each tier of items in each gamble, and the configurable return of investment each mystery box has over time. Price balancing occurs on server start and can be configured in the config settings of the mod, this is explained further in the trader features section below.
Highly Recommended Mods
- UI Fixes - Provides ability to set a hot key to open mystery boxes quickly, instead of right clicking every container and pressing 'unbox'
- Kaeno Trader Scrolling - If you have too many traders this mod allows you to scroll to reach all of them
- Definitive Weapon Variants - Adds weapon variants to weapon mystery box pool.
Trader Features
Dynamically Priced Mystery Boxes
- All Mystery Boxes will automatically have its trader sold price dynamically calculated on server startup depending on the price of all rewards in each individual mystery box, mystery box odds for each reward tier, and the expected return of investment that is expected from each gamble. (Each component can be adjusted and changed in the config file.)
Highly Configurable Mystery Boxes:
- Price:
-
Flea market price of each rewards is used to calculate the final price of each mystery box.
- Compatible with Live Flea Prices Mod and all price generation will occur after live flea prices is loaded.
-
Each mystery box can be manually priced if you don't want to use dynamic price generation in the config.
-
- Odds:
- Percentage weights of each reward tier can be adjusted in the config and will play a major factor in the final price.
- Example: increasing the "keycard_red": 0.1, value to 10.0 will increase the odds of rewarding a red keycard from 0.1% to 10.0%. Each new gamble with the keycard mystery box will have a 10% to unbox a red keycard. This make the keycard mystery box much more rewarding, and now much more expensive.
- Percentage weights of each reward tier can be adjusted in the config and will play a major factor in the final price.
- Expected Return on Investment:
- Each mystery container has a "_profit_percentage" in the config file which determines how profitable a mystery container should be.
- Example:
- If the config has the following: "armor_profit_percentage": 1.10, The Armor Mystery Box will on average return 110% of your money back. Making your money back and 10% profit.

Quests (PlannedTM)I'm not sure to be honest. I have an idea for lore and questline mystery box unlocks, but creating actually good quests is very time consuming and there is not that many on the hub that actually do it.Trader quest progression will include mystery container unlocks and the further you complete quests, more useful and interesting mystery containers will unlock.

This mod was inspired by VIKTORIYA and contains a few mystery containers I enjoyed from that mod as I don't think it will ever be updated.

SPT 3.10.x
Gambler Trader v0.2.6 is the first update in SPT 3.10.x and won't be the last. Sorry for the terribly long wait, but I'll make sure to release an SPT 3.11 version pretty quickly once it is released. Any future updates I release in the upcoming 3.11 version will be ported to this 3.10.x release for a while, until it is not needed anymore. Mostly bug fixes, but maybe new additions as well...
0.2.6 Patch Notes.
- Updated and overhauled weapon preset loot pool.
- Originally there were about 305 weapons in the previous loot pool, now there are over 1000+ weapons that exist in the new weapon generation pool. Mostly Meta weapons and average tiered weapons have been overhauled and have many more variations. Scav weapons will also be updated in a future patch, but are still the same as before for now.
- Added New Premium Mystery Loadout Box:
- Contains a high tier loadout with a small chance for some gear and items to drop to average tier for slight randomness and added variation.
- Updated Armor generation pool:
- All tiers of armor generation now have variations of armors with different armor class plates. For example, Kirasa armors can now generate in the high tier armor pool with class 6 plates. This is meant to add slight variations and more randomness to the armor preset pool.
- Removed golden AKM attachments
- I don't know how to stop the golden akm attachments from being sold on Fence, and I think found on scavs? Whatever the case, the golden akm was meant as a extremely rare easter egg unbox, but I don't like that the attachments are randomly spawning so I will disable for now...
- Fixed previous load order issue:
- Live Flea Prices mod will now always load before the Gambler trader so all item prices are updated before mystery box price generation.
As with all of these new additions and changes, they are NOT perfect and there probably WILL be bugs and errors that I haven't came across yet. Please document and comment any and all issues that you come across. I appreciate all of your feedback and help.

Update instructions: You MUST delete any previous version of the Gambler trader in SPT/user/mods before updating as the file name has been changed to help with load order and mod balancing. You WILL have errors if you don't.
- Fixed compatibility issue with new live flea prices update as the gambler trader was loading before price changes which made container price balancing inaccurate. As a result the mod folder name has changed again to fix load order, any previous version of the Gambler trader must be deleted before installing this update.

0.2.4 includes changes to a few mystery containers, config additions, and bug fixes. This is a smaller update than I wanted to push out, but new content like poker chip currency, new mystery boxes, and quest line will be included in the next major update.
PATCH NOTES
Mystery Loadout Generation
- Overhauled stimulant generation to better generate more useful stims like morphine, propital, etc...
- Reduced chance of receiving lower end equipment with high-end loadouts
- Slightly reduced chance of generating high-end loadouts (more balanced this way)
- medical items for heavy and light bleeds always generate one item instead of having a chance for multiple or none
- fixed a few issues with shotgun round generation
- fixed a few issues with helmet/headset incompatibilities
- fixed issue with SIG MCX Spear not generating ammunition
Mystery GP Coin
- Increased cost from 1 GP Coin to 25
- Rewards 50 GP coins on successful coin flip
Mystery Ammo
- Reverted from unlimited stock to limited quantities, can always be easily changed in the config.
- fixed 12.7x55 price generation as it was bugged before and prices for that caliber have been normalized
- Adjusted prices of many ammunition, which has slightly lowered the prices of mystery ammo gambles
Config
- Added ability to disable unlimited stock for each mystery box, and set a custom stock limit.
- Added ability to disable automatically generated prices so you can set your own price for each mystery box
- Added ability to change found in raid status of rewards for each mystery box.
Fixes
- changed mod folder name for better load order position which will help with balancing with other mods
- Fixed Mystery Loadout flea market price from being extremely cheap
- only applicable if you have a mod that disables the flea market blacklist, as all mystery boxes are flea market banned by default
- Fixed missing ammunition from Mystery 12.7x55

LOAD ORDER: Make sure TheGambler loads last or close to last, as any mod you have that manipulates flea market or trader prices will have a major effect on the balancing of each gambling container.
Update 0.2.3 includes updates to loadout generation, major balancing changes, a few new additions to the weapon mystery box, and more...
Loadout Generation
- Added splints to generation pool
- Added grenades to generation pool
- Added face coverings to generation pool
- Each tier of loadout will have a slight chance of generating equipment and items of a higher or lower rarity
- This change is meant to add more variety as now generation of items isn't guaranteed to be of a certain rarity. For example scav tier loadouts can sometimes generate better armour or better backpack, etc...
- Removed chance to receive stock weapons
- Scav tier weapons have replaced the chance for the original chance of stock weapons, as the scav tier weapon pool has a lot more weapons to generate from in this update
Weapon Mystery Box
- Added 50 new scav tier weapons
- Added 12 new semi-modded weapons
- Added 11 new meme/cursed weapons
- Includes a new meme tier Golden foil wrapped AKM (My first attempt at learning the unity editor and learning how to create assets)
- Added 18 default weapons
- All default weapons available in Tarkov are now available to be unboxed
Mystery Keycard
- Slightly increased odds for rarer keycards
Automatic Mystery Container Price Balancer
- All mystery containers (excluding Mystery Loadout) are now officially price generated by the automatic price balancer.
- Weapon Mystery Box and Mystery Helmet will calculate the price of the base weapon/helmet and all the included attachments when determining the final container price.
- Rewrote how containers are price generated. Now all calculations are much more accurate than the previous implementation.
- Container price generation during server load is now much faster, pretty much instantaneous.
BALANCING:
-
Most Mystery Containers now have infinite trader stock as I'm much more confident with the automatic price balancing as this change allows the player to gamble until they are broke.
-
Re-calibrated overall chance to profit on all containers:
- With the change of allowing infinite container stock and better automatic price balancing, all containers are set at a fair price to allow the player to gamble to their hearts content. Most containers will be a little more expensive than before, but keep in mind there is always a chance to strike it rich, as everything is a gamble.
-
The only main issue I am having with balancing is the price of blacklisted items that don't have a finite price that everyone agrees on. This is something that will continue to updated on. Blacklisted item prices like ammo and armour can always be changed in the config at "mystery_container_override_price" if you want to take a look at how I've been pricing items that are injected into the automatic price balancer.
Fixes:
- Fixed mistakenly mixed up weapon mystery box tiers, which created weapons of different tiers than expected.
