No Armor Option for Cheap Raids
Best Cost Performance but Risky
If you're willing to give up on firefights, going out without armor is an option. However, if you get shot by an enemy, you'll most likely not survive, so you'll need to play in a way that avoids combat. This is not highly recommended except for the very early stages when supplies are scarce or when you've run out of money.
Utilize Impostor Equipment
When deploying in Impostor mode, you may sometimes be equipped with Class 1-2 armor. While it's not very reliable as armor, it's free, making it extremely cost-effective. It's also recommended to defeat enemy NPCs and bring back Class 3 armor.
Class 3 Armor for Easy Movement
Avoid Class 1-2 Armor
As you'll also need to defeat enemies for tasks, once you get used to the game, combat with enemies becomes a prerequisite. If you're going to engage in firefights, it's recommended to first equip Class 3 armor, which offers minimal protection, and head into raids.
Be Aware of Engagement Distance
In combat, it's important to fight at your preferred engagement distance or a distance suitable for your weapon. This directly affects your win rate in firefights, so try to avoid combat at unfavorable distances.
Customize Guns with Gunsmith
Even if your armor is strong, if you don't have a gun that can properly engage in firefights, you'll lose. Once you can consistently obtain armor, use the Gunsmith feature to customize powerful guns.
Invest in Class 4–5 Gear for Better Protection
Step Up Armor According to Your Funds
Once you're used to combat and your earnings are stable, Class 4-5 armor is recommended. Most commonly used AR and SMG ammunition is Class 4 or lower, so with Class 5 armor, you can survive even if you take some hits. This allows for some recklessness, making it easier to gain an advantage in combat.
Equip Properly When Challenging Bosses
Bosses and their entourages are equipped with much stronger weapons and armor compared to regular NPCs. If you're careless, you can easily get killed, so make sure to equip armor that can withstand some hits.
