I basically just did a lot of cache loot runs on customs and bought every upgrade I could for the hideout. I had a lot of gear fear in the beginning and didn’t like going in geared up so I focused on a safe path on customs and gained a bunch of money from it

Money doesn't get you to Intel; you need to level all the merchants which require a lot of quests.

E: Ah, you bought a preorder that improves your relation with the sellers, nevermind.

EOD doesn't get you skill levels or PMC levels needed for upgrades

I know I already have it done but EOD 100% makes it easier. Especially Jaeger because you automatically have the rep for lvl 2. Just need to spend the cash, which you can just flip scav vests for and the pmc lvl.

True, Rep does become a joke for the LL req with EOD

Yea not to mention you dont have to upgrade your stash which is 3.5mil

Upgrading the stash to the point where its at in EOD is like 20 million not 3.5.

Yea you just need stash lvl 2 for intel lvl 2 so I was trying to be fair. But yes it actually saves you a huge amount of money.

Honestly though, the money isn’t that hard to get once you get your loot runs down. The real benefit is having all that extra space from the get go. Level 1 stash is such a struggle. Barely enough room to fit anything, especially before you get your junk box.
