How the hell do I get enough eddies for the Autojock achievement!?!?

[Salvy]

I read online you need roughly 1.8 million of eddies to buy all the cars, I bought literally just two cars (the most expensive one and a small one) and I still have 300.000 eddies. I'm level 40 and I almost did all the sidequests and contracts. How the hell are you supposed to get THAT amount of money!? keeping killing bad guys and selling their ♥♥♥♥? It'll take ages to reach that sum.

Any ideas?

I did it by crafting legendaries and selling them, the resources needed to craft the items cost less (especially if you have the perk) than the cost of the item you sell it. Its easy but fairly tedious process, mostly because you'll need to keep bouncing from vendor to vendor in order to get the materials necessary to craft all those legendaries.

you can also do it by crafting uncommon clothes, for example a jacket, but that one is an even more tedious process because you'll need to sell a lot of shirts x).

Sell weapons and clothing you've picked up. You can make about 10-15k per encounter at your level if you do that. Also datamine terminals.

Problem with that solution is that I'm like level 3 in the tech skill section, there's no way I'll be able to craft legendaries items (I can only craft legendary hacking stuff cause I have intelligence at 20). Seems to me developers didn't think this through well when they designed the achievement. Either you lower the amount of cars you can buy or give users a way to get money without having particular skills or using exploits.

I'm doing that already, but encounters will end soon when you do all the NCPD stuff... no way you'll reach that sum by then

If you didn't do it all the way through then I think at this stage of play it would be difficult but there are the gang members hanging around dotted around the city. Valuable junk is a bit helpful (750 each but you don't really get enough of them to make a living from it) . Some drinks are worth 150 or so but that's quite a laborious way of making money.

Yeah I'm doing it since the very beginning of the game actually, but it doesn't seem to me you get that much. I guess I'll keep trying like this...

you can craft uncommon items right? if you can, you should be able to still do it, the problem in that case however will be getting all the materials for it, since you'll burn through common and uncommon materials very fast by going with that approach, still possible, but yeah it will be a grind. I agree, that achievement is not a fun one go after.

You can also look for flashing badges. It denotes a random encounter where you can kill baddies without triggering police response; loot stuff from corpses and sell it. Drawback is, map doesn't show flashing badge events on it; they can only be seen in the minimap.

Weird. But then I loot absolutely everything (I guess it's a compulsion in this kind of game)! I hit a million by about level 42 with all the cars I wanted and just stopped thinking about it.

Hmmm... yeah I think I could go for that at least. I hope it will give me a nice amount, we'll see :)
Thanks

you get about 1k per uncommon jacket you make.

Are those random encounters that keep going forever? Because if that's the case, then at least I know I could grind it like this

The semiquest police missions stop once done, but there are always certain random encounters (I can't remember what icon they are or if they have an icon). They don't stop.

Eg on the beach at Pacifica there's a sort of barbecue gathering that always returns.

[m662]

Though boring farming the Pacifica as just mentioned for enemies and loot is viable.

Also farming security bots in the AWACS Zone in the desert could net you hardware to sell though you do have to content with police spawns than.

Changes are the achievement is meant for after the DLC is released being that we have a casino and several clubs we can not visit yet.

Do the map side missions even if they are grey. As you lvl, the loot sells for more. The good, eddies will start to add up fast. Bad news is the story missions become just to easy.

My last playthrough I came close to owning all the cars, but I ended up spending almost as much on clothes.

Fun gaming all.
