Master Contracts in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader! Learn about trading resources for Profit Factor, rare goods, and unique rewards. Our guide covers all 20+ contracts.
Alright, let's talk about Contracts in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Think of these as little side-quests or requests you'll stumble upon as you explore the Koronus Expanse. They're usually pretty straightforward: you trade some of your common resources for Profit Factor (which is basically your in-game currency for a lot of things) or, sometimes, you trade Profit Factor for rare resources you desperately need.
There are a bunch of these to find, around 21 or 22 in total, depending on your choices and if you have the _Void Shadows_ DLC. There's even a trophy for completing 20 of them, so they're definitely worth keeping an eye on!

- Keep an eye on your resource stockpiles. Sometimes a contract might ask for something you're low on, so plan your trading accordingly.
- Profit Factor is king for many upgrades and purchases, so don't shy away from contracts that offer it, especially early on.
- Some contracts are mutually exclusive or tied to specific DLCs, so make sure you understand what you're choosing!
- The contracts that unlock later in the game (Chapter 4) tend to require more significant resource investments but offer substantial rewards.
