The Trader's Van, often referred to as the "Trader" or the "Van", is a van that sells any sort of weapon and item in the game that makes the weapon the same level as you. It sells weapons cheaper compared to weapons in the Armory and also can sell weapons non-obtainable in the Armory and mythical event weapons and cosmetics. It comes out with new weapons usually every 2-3 days unless the Trader’s Van decides to stay with the same weapons longer by the developers' choice. It is unlocked at level 9 as of 21.4.2.
Overview
The Trader's Van sells weapons and other items that are only available for a limited time. This may include weapons from all categories and of all rarities. The weapons sold usually correspond to a specific theme, with the Trader's Van itself changing appearance to match the theme, which is why the van can come as a simple van with a window showing the trader and the weapons, but the theme of the van could vary. The Trader's Van also cycles through weapons from Primary to Heavy and wrapping around back again, just like how the Armory displays its weapon categories. Occasionally, when a set is available for purchase, buying the entire van will additionally reward a skin.
Moreover, the Trader's Van may also sell various cosmetics which include Wear and Avatars.
The weapons and cosmetics can only be bought for the duration of the Trader's Van, with the duration lasting anywhere from 1-20 days. Once the Trader's Van leaves, the weapons may no longer be purchased and will only appear in the Armory for owners (although the weapons may return as part of another limited-time Trader's Van or as part of the Super Lottery).
The weapons/cosmetics listed above may not appear for some players because they might already own them. If the player already owns them all, the van will not appear. Moreover, the costs of these weapons and cosmetics mostly depend on the player's level. The list may also not be updated so new vans might be different compared to the weapons in this list. They may also not appear due to the fact that they are on iOS and updates come late, so they might not see these offers.
Sometimes, there are weapons in the van can be bought with an immediate upgrade to Mythical
grade, at a much cheaper rate than if the player were to use 
in the Armory to upgrade its grade. If the player already owns those weapons at a lower grade, the offer is still available and they can buy the upgrade for a substantially lower cost.
Trivia
- A possible reason for the high cost is that all the guns are only available for a limited time, making them rare and therefore costing more. (Note that weapons from the Trader’s Van are upgraded to the max level. This may also be a reason as to why the weapons are so expensive.)
- However, the player can obtain most of the Trader’s Van's items from the Gallery when they are available.
- The player cannot view the Trader's Van in Offline Mode, as purchasing and upgrade weapons and other items are available only in the game's server side.
- Sometimes, when new weapons come up in the van, the chatting channels in the Pixel Gun 3D Discord become temporarily more active, hence why slow mode is increased by the moderators to keep the chat flowing more slowly.
- The items being sold might differ from platform to platform especially iOS to Android. This is because iOS get their updates later than Android does. This is also why some weapons sold on a new update in Android have to be camouflaged as different weapons on iOS.
- The developers sometimes host a community van or a holiday van, which includes certain wanted weapons requested by the community to come back, or exclusive holiday-themed weapons that only return during their specificly-themed holiday
- Three Category Spammers are always waiting for excellent offers such as Ultimatum, Heroic Epee or Viking.

Weapon Skins
Christmas Skins
In the 17.1.1 update, they went back to adding weapon skins to various event weapons, like the Chipping Whip and the Sniper Exoskeleton and an extra skin for the One Shot. However, the skins (other than the One Shot skin added in 17.1.1) were being added differently and most of them were not actually added into the game yet, but the skins interface for these weapons did appear. Instead of releasing the skins and making them available for purchase, the skins for these weapons are event skins in the Trader's Van that come with a maximum efficiency upgrade for the weapon. The first 6 weapons with event skins are the Black Mamba, the Disc Battle Station, the Ouroboros, the Thunderer, the Sniper Exoskeleton and the Big Buddy, who all got them on December 21, 2019. 19 other weapons got an event skin three days later.
NOTE: THIS CHRISTMAS SKINS ISNT COMPLETED YET, THERE ARE THE 2021 CHRISTMAS SKINS, AND IT ISNT FINISHED YET
These are the event weapon skins obtainable from the Trader's Van. Note that cost isn't included since Trader's Van costs depend on the player's level and possession of the weapon.

Halloween Skins
The 18.2.2 Update saw the introduction of skins coming from a community skin contest. 24 skins in total were added, but only 12 were added to the van, 2 for each category.
