Money is essential for purchasing new weapons, ammunition, and vital health items. Here's how to maximize your earnings and make smart upgrade choices.
Money-Making Strategies:
- Bounty Hunter Missions: These are your primary source of income outside of story missions. Repeat them as often as needed. Always try to capture targets alive for higher rewards.
- Explore Levels Thoroughly: Many story missions have hidden caches of money, gold nuggets, or valuable items that can be sold. Break open crates, barrels, and look behind structures.
- High Kill Counts: While not a direct money source, higher kill counts and stylish kills contribute to your mission score, which can sometimes influence bonus payouts.
Smart Upgrade Choices:
- Prioritize Primary Weapons: Focus on upgrading Red's main revolver and a reliable rifle first. These will be your workhorses throughout the game.
- Stock Up on Tonics: Always have a few Tonics on hand. They are cheap and can save your life.
- Ammunition: Never go into a mission low on ammo. Purchase full stocks for your preferred weapons.
- Golden Guns: While not a direct purchase, actively seeking Golden Gun pieces will reward you with powerful, ammo-efficient weapons in the long run.
