Weaponry
Compound Crossbow
If you'd like to go on a stealth mission, or just want a steady long ranged "sniper" that instantly kills enemies, then this is for you.
Statistics
  • Damage: 2000 (one shot)
  • Range: Pretty far
  • Accuracy: Steadyness and Accuracy is nearly at 100, but with attachments you can get them both to a perfect 100.
  • Ammo: Make every shot count (1 mag, 30 res, cannot be refilled to my knowledge)
  • Stealth: I'm pretty sure this is the best main slot weapon for stealth operations. it has really high concealment and I don't think it makes loud sounds.
  • Cost: Better save up! (I believe it might be like around 700,000 or maybe 400,000 as a base, but I believe explosive arrows cost like 12,500 and the wood grip is 9,000.)
Tips
  • Absolutely broken (in a good way)
  • I believe it can one shot everything, except for the military shields for some reason since it just breaks the shield and leaves the dude alive like what
  • get explosive arrows. there are basically no downsides and it increases your damage from oneshot everything (2,000) to murder an entire city in one swoop. (13,000) once you have the explosive arrows, you can destroy shield units like talked about before. since the explosion has an AOE with insane damage, you can take out a shield simply by shooting the shield once. only exeption is the military flash bang shield dude. Shooting it instantly breaks the shield but for some reason it leaves the unit alive to shoot whatever kind of tier gas loaded rounds this ***** shoots.
  • all good things come to an end... including my beloved Compound Crossbow... the ammo is limited and I dont think it can be reloaded, but I haven't tested with ammo bags yet.

Cross-kill Pistol (normal one, not guard or askibo)
A pretty good secondary weapon for early game and maybe even late game. the detection rate isn't too high, though it is higher than the standard pistol. deals a good amount of damage without being a revolver. probably one of my favorite weapons.
Statistics
  • Damage: Pretty decent, but I forgot the exact amount.
  • Range: I have no clue, but probably mid-range.
  • Accuracy: Forgot the exact amount, but I think it's relatively stable, but probably a bit less accurate than the standard pistol.
  • Ammo: Great for when your primary is out of ammo, but I wouldn't recommend relying on it too heavily to the point of it basically being a primary. (10 mag and maybe like 300 or 150 res I completely forgot whoops)
  • Stealth: Slightly more detectable than the standard pistol, but it's definitely better than the revolvers.
  • Cost: I completely forgot 😭 but since it's one of the more basic pistols, it's probably 100k - 200k at most.
Tips
  • Decent secondary 👍
  • Probably one of my favorite weapons.
  • What else can I say
Making Money
It's sometimes hard to get money... but here's some tips.

Become Walter White
Difficulty: Medium
Time Taken: Can go on for infinite, if you want good money, you might need to play an entire HOUR STRAIGHT
Mission: "Cookoff"
Mission Objective: Grab chemicals and put them into the lab in the instructed order. Be aware that the speaker can sometimes mess up and also the recipe changes every play through and also every one in a while, even in the middle of the game. also make sure to defend your "hard candy" from swat that will attempt to take it away. a van appears once in a while where you can put the goods.
Rewards: if you have infinite time on your hands, then you can probably get infinite money. the mission never ends until you either loose, leave, or reach the point of no return. from my playthrough of about an hour, I got like 9 million in the account thingy, but only got a cut of 1 million. (what a scam! but at least im a millionare! actually scratch that I spent it all already lol)
Gamemode: Basically a tower defense game except you cook "candies"
in this mission you go to some crackhead's house and kill the people in there so that you get the lab to yourself. what you need to do is cook "hard candy" and attempt to defend it from the police as you make another batch. there are 3 chemicals, Hydrochloric Acid, Caustic Soda, and another one that I forgot the name of... you need to put the materials in order as instructed, know that the recipe can change in the middle of the game and also that the speaker sometimes makes mistakes before quickly correcting it. if you run out of materials, dont worry! you should be able to place a flare and get a bag of more ingredients. Why am I calling it candy you might ask? it's because I just dont want to call it meth obiously.

Hitting A Devious Lick At The Bank
Difficulty: Medium-Hard on Normal Mode. (can be played on other modes.)
Time Taken: Usually takes around 20-30 minutes. depends on if you feel like looting the cabnets which are usually filled with some rando's birth certificate or family photos for some reason. (both cannot be taken) sometimes you can hit the jackpot and find a cabinet filled with gold, but that's very rare and takes a long time.
Mission: it was something like "Gold Bank" or something. there's also a dimond version but I believe it's a different building entirely
Mission Objective: Steal as much stuff as you can
Rewards: 100,000 if you're feeling scared or dont want to bother gambling with the safe room, but I believe you can get upwards of 500,000 cash from stealing all gold bars and a bit of personal belongings.
a classic mission. Robbing the bank. some tips you should know is that you can find a keycard on a desc sometimes, or you can pickpocket a civilian that's on the ground. (I dont think they have to be tied.) use the card to open a door and you get the camera room. Why do you want this? I have no idea, but you can check the cameras. Now you need to grab the drill at the back of the black pickup truck. throw it infront of the safe and set it up. You'll have to defend it and constantly babysit it since the police can disable it temporary or it can get jammed. the drill usally takes a few minutes go open, but then you'll probably have to use another drill to break in the gate too so thats like 5 more minutes. the gold is on the table, carrying it slows you down by a lot, but you can also lockpick the cabinets to get bonus loot. (time consuming, also most cabinets are empty. though some are a jackpot and have even MORE gold.)
Goodbye
This is all I have for now, I'll add more soon I think bye bye like and subscribe and comment down below your thoughts

This guide is... bad. none of the weapons listed are good and the making money segment isnt any better, all of those heists except cook off are terrible for making money, even on ds. dont listen to this guide, its quite misleading

What bow are you talking about the Heavy Crossbow,Deca Tech Compound Bow Or The English Long Bow?

Would this be good for a 1 to 100 leveling up?
