Arena Representative
Ref
The Arena's man in Tarkov, dealing in a currency all his own
Ref is the representative of the Arena, the combat tournament circuit that runs parallel to the Tarkov conflict. A former sports functionary, he found his calling matching fighters and moving prizes, and his trade connects the two worlds.
He deals in GP coins, a special currency earned through Arena participation rather than roubles. That makes his inventory a separate progression track: gear and items you unlock by fighting in the Arena rather than grinding raids.
For players who touch both games, Ref turns Arena performance into raid advantages. For everyone else, he is a reminder that there is a whole second competition happening in Tarkov.
