Black Squad Steam Market and Trade Policy Update
Black Squad - nsstudio
Hello Soldiers,

On March 13 we will update the trade/market policies on Black Squad items via Steam Community Market.

Items: Items obtainable in-game or from DLC - Unable to trade or sell via Steam market Items: Items not obtainable in-game or from DLC - Marketable (sellable) via Steam market, not tradable

Example: According to the updated policy, Item A which is currently obtainable in-game is not tradable or sellable in Steam Market. However, once Item A is retired and no longer available in the in-game Shop, Item A will be available to sell or buy (not trade) in the Steam Market.

Please note that all items currently on sale in the Steam Market will follow the above rules after the policy change.

So please be aware that the change will be applied from March 13 alongside the patch update. Therefore, any items not already in the Steam Market will not change to be included in the future. We appreciate your understanding.
