Kidney Trade

A kidney and a scalpel in a players "Y" inventory.

An example of a black market where you would go to sell kidneys.

Introduction

One of the most social activities you can do on Altis is harvest the kidneys of others. This is an illegal activity. This is the most dangerous illegal item you can attempt to obtain. Unlike the others, you are required to interact with fellow Altis players in order to complete this run. Fear not, should you find yourself the victim of kidney theft, a medic or hospital can replace them.

Starting the Run

The complexity of this run requires a few strongly suggested items. First, kidneys are heavy and take up a lot of bag space (25 per) so you will likely want a house to store them in until you are ready to sell. Probably a house just off the beaten path of main cities where you are likely to find more victims. Just remember, this is an illegal activity and your house may be subject to raids by the APD if they catch you interacting with it. Second, pick a location you plan to take your victims to remove their kidneys. A place near your house should suffice as long as it has adequate cover in case someone comes looking for their lost friend. Third, you will need to procure a few surgical items from a Rebel Outpost or Black Market. One scalpel in your Y is all you need to harvest as many kidneys as you desire. You will, also, need zip ties, one per person, as well as first aid kits. Lastly, some serious motivation to put their hands up, in the form of a gun. You may want a few redgull, water, and food items to keep your strength up. However, this is a highly dangerous run and the possibility of dying is high, so proceed with caution when you spend your money on supplies that can easily be lost upon death.

Gathering - Kidneys

Proper engagement is important when interacting with your fellow players. In order to start this run you need a victim willing to put their hands up. Once they have their hands up you can windows key on them and restrain them. You then windows key again and escort them to your pre-planned safe location. Once you feel secure, windows key on the victim again and select remove kidney. You will need to heal your victim and unrestrain them within 1km of a garage or where you restrained them per regular hostage rules. Kidneys may only be harvested from a player once every thirty minutes by any player.

Selling

Kidneys are sold at Black Markets to the NPC where you make all purchases. Conveniently, there is an ATM in the same room as the NPC where you may deposit the cash you receive immediately to your bank.

Payout

A bergen bag holds 4 kidneys. Selling them gains you $74,000 or $18,500 per kidney.
