Start with jobs
Jobs are a safe early way to make money. See the Jobs Guide for the currently confirmed options and locations, or compare verified earning mechanics in the Money Guide.
Sell and prepare
The Pawn Shop can be used to sell acquired items. ATM hacking requires a Hack Tool, so review the ATM Hacking Guide and check current in-game requirements before attempting it.
Protect your inventory
Players can drop inventory items on death. Store important items in a House Safe rather than carrying everything through risky activities.
Know the contested rewards
Airdrops create loot that players can contest. Treat them as a risk-and-reward activity, especially while you are still learning combat and inventory recovery.
