Wandering Merchant is a non-playable chracter that will buy and sell items for Gold Coins. He appears at settlements, selling various schematics, goods, and resources. Additionally, goods can be sold to the merchant for Gold Coins.
Like other NPCs, they can be captured in a Pal Sphere, but doing so is considered a crime and will spawn hostile human NPCs, and the player is marked as "wanted." If captured, the merchant will still be able to sell and buy goods when talked to, making them useful on player bases. The Wandering Merchant can be captured using Pal Spheres of a higher tier than Mega Sphere. Upon engaging with the merchant, PIDF Guards and PIDF Infantry will spawn. They are capable of killing the merchant.

- Black Marketeer: these elusive merchants deal in illegal or restricted goods, their inventory constantly changing and often containing high-value items. Finding them is a challenge, but their wares can be incredibly lucrative.
- Medal Merchant: these merchants sell rare items for Dog Coins instead of Gold Coins.
