Do I need to buy gear for my crew?

Or do they get better gear or their own?

Want to know how to spend my nuyens.

They mostly upgrade their basic gear. And sometimes add to it. Like Duncan can get a reusable grenade at one point.

If you want to do anything fancy, like give Gobbet a sniper rifle, you'll need to purchase it.

Your cash is usually quite limited, partly depending on how expensive your build is of course.

Your crew gets better gear occasionally, but you could still improve on that. Most builds need the money for themselves mostly; nonetheless it might be nice to give them what you've got in store anyway. Mind their consumables auto-refresh while your's don't, so use their consumables 1st to save money.

[Lord Of Dorkness]

Yes. You can even spend some of their level ups on extra gear instead. (Sometimes worth it, so consider carefully.)

Fair warning, though: Money is EXTREMELY tight in this campaign, so threat every purchase as it might be your last.

[Rworqx]

Alrighty. thanks for the info and warnings.

[Rworqx]

another question. how much room for error is there in your experience? I think I ''mismanaged'' like 1.5K so far. I did like 3 missions now after the proloque.

Instead of buying weapons for my crew, I bought some utility spells for Gobbet instead, more useful imo.

You don't really need to buy gear for your crew. I've done multiple playthroughs on hardest difficulty and never needed to spend a single nuyen on my crew beyond maybe some medpacks. Their gear is fine and it upgrades as you reach various points in the game and some get an extra with their companion side quest.

You do find some gear during some missions that do very well for some pcs
-The lightning sword you find in the archeological run one of the best swords for most of the game and if you aren't an adept or melee street sam, it's perfect for Gaichu or Duncun as an added option
-The rifle you find in the tower of the final run before the expansion is made for Gobbet
-There's a pistol you can grab in the wuxing quest with the right skill ratings that Isobel can use
