Fast Money Making After a Wipe
The biggest challenge after a wipe is building starting capital. Since the Flea Market is locked early (until level 15), earning money relies on quests, smart barters and hideout production. Steady income from low-risk, repeatable methods is more valuable than one-off big-but-risky scores.
Key Points
- Quest rewards are the safest early income — follow the quest chains.
- Use trader barters to turn cheap items into valuable ones (barter arbitrage).
- Set up the hideout Bitcoin Farm early; passive income compounds through the wipe.
- Do Scav runs with low gear — you collect loot with no loss risk.
- Focus on valuable-but-light loot (electronics, keys) — use backpack space efficiently.
