Notes/Advice

Strengths

• The Carja Trader is the only way to buff the Shard Salvager skill, which allows Aloy to dismantle resources into a percentage of their worth in shards.
• When compared to other very rare outsides, the Carja Trader provides very high plasma resistance.
• The Carja Trader buffs a mix of skills, making it a decent outfit for players that don't want to frequently change outfits.
