Section 01
The brief
Low-rank missions are training grounds. Favor jobs that teach cover, vehicle control, and objective reading.
- Contact missions are the cheapest way to learn cover, driving and objective reading
- Hard difficulty pays significantly more once you can survive it
- Payouts decay if you replay the same mission repeatedly
Section 02
Recommended route
Rotate short contact jobs and avoid replaying one mission until the payout curve collapses.
- Call Gerald, Simeon, Lamar and Martin from your phone
- Switch to Hard once you have full armor and a rifle
- Rotate missions rather than farming one
Section 03
What good looks like
