1874e Petros Rifle
1874e Petros Rifle is worth keeping when you want careful 11x54 mm shots or a base rifle for the later Petros upgrade path; panic fights punish it fast.
Ficus is payout loot, so it matters only after the extraction side of the run is already paid for.
Ficus reads more like spare profit than survival cargo. Once the Trampler already has the fuel, ammo, repairs, and healing it needs, this becomes clean payout for empty cargo space. Before that point, dropping it for survival supplies is usually the better call.
Found as loot pickups during Sophie runs.

It earns cargo space after fuel, healing, repairs, and matching ammo are already covered for the trip out.
Ficus does nothing for a collapsing run. If carrying it crowds out survival supplies, the better profit is making it home at all.
