140k in 3 minutes! Beginner-Friendly Top 3 Forever Winter Money Farms (Bonus Farm Included)

[@yewnitedgaming]

Small update: Recently our second money farm has been changed slightly (but buffed overall), as you can now find more than one box per run. The only downside is that there are more spawns for the boxes, so it'll take more searching. I'll make an updated video for it soon(tm)

[@meganobgutzkraka2398]

amazing guide, however a few pointers for a first run. from elevator if you run straight a head there's a flight of stairs and door that leads STRAIGHT INTO MEDICAL safely. and once you're done looting "recycling", Medical, and Armory, you can instead go back into medical and go into the next room featuring a cargo lift. go down stairs and run straight down that hall into the next one, past the broken train platform blockin the way. and there's an extraction. you CAN take the door on your right, and up the stairs to the bridge above to Servers, which has another Lockbox spawn. if you add that, remove Explosive Cargo, and take Theif in The Night for the booze theif you find in medical, you walk out with ATLEAST 120k loot. add on the meds you took, add on the ammo you took? and it's one of the best money/supply runs in the game.

[@yewnitedgaming]

That's a really solid run, thanks for sharing!

[@technoartfest8708]

@@yewnitedgaming i think you need to have passed previous quest in previous zones Before you can get the exit exactly in that place. I tried to switch from noob entry region in scortchardd landd in cementery ,that is very brutal and hard to the one you farm water without having any quest there. and the exit zone seems to be way farther away. than the same building.

[@lihaikun]

1. Death mechanic is very forgiving here. You have an RIP tombstone icon from the map you previously died, and you can take back all your rig component, guns and gun parts back. All other items (med, ammo, loot) are all gone but you can start again with full equipment. 2. Build on water reserve first by playing like a RAT, and do quests that don't involve fighting in the very beginning. Once you unlock medium equipment rig, Go ahead and buy suppressor and RPK, and level up that god slap weapon. 3. Opening metal doors is SUPER LOUD. Be careful while doing so. 4. You can run like hell and bullshit your way out a sticky situation, and your rig will actually act as a shield.

[@yewnitedgaming]

I opened the elephant mausoleum double-locked medbay door yesterday and it nearly made me deaf. They need to lower that SFX ingame. Amazing tips btw, thanks for sharing!

[@BouXIII]

Important information. Every Damaged Weapon can be repaired. Step1: lloot weapon and extract. Step2: then put weapon in inventory and do another run. When coming back after extract, click the button to transer all looted items to the inventory. You now have repaired the Weapon. Have fun with your Grenade Launcher ant NTW-20, or sell them. Grenade Launchers sell for 80k

[@michaelshanehelton]

Great video. Small correction: the Gacha box will always spawn. If you have a route which hits all the spawn points it makes for a profitable run every time.

[@yewnitedgaming]

Yep I realized that a bit after posting the video, it's a 100% spawn chance between those three locations.

[@MauMenzori]

Expanding on your "Honorable Mention" credit farm there, for new players: if you happen to find an Euruskan Grenade Launcher, even if its destroyed, that's ok. Bring it back with you, but do not sell it just yet. Instead, put it BACK INTO YOUR RIG and go do another mission with stored in your rig (not equipped on slot 1 or 2) so the game will automatically repair it for you, going from "Destroyed" to "Damaged" mid mission. That way, when you exit alive, the weapon will be brand new and you can sell it for a lot of cash. All weapons are salvageable in this game.

[@yewnitedgaming]

A very good strat for new players to collect weapons

[@XvLarvavX]

Could also try farming usas12 by spawning Ashen Mesa city, run forward and wait for troops to spawn, the Europan EOD units have a chance to spawn and usually with the shotgun. If you don't get them here, blitz north west from that location to the bridge extract and see if they spawn there, then to the Europan mech fortress north east of there to that extract and see if they spawn in two places there. It takes about 4m each run. If they do spawn wth the shotguns (80% chance) that's a nice item to bring into scrapyard to repair from being broken. They also sell for a LOT of money when fixed.

[@yewnitedgaming]

Noted! I've been logging down locations for a more proper gunrunning farm since it's one of the funner things for me personally.

[@ganzrawr5334]

I like Bag Man w Rack at Mech Trenches. Take Risky Cargo and Thief in the Night quests. Using the south west spawn point just run straight to med bay to kill the npc w the alcohol and then go to armory to get explosives and whatever else i can find for loot. The two quest turn ins get you $100k plus whatever else you can manage to sell in roughly 3-5 mins.

[@yewnitedgaming]

A very solid run, I slept on the thief quest until people started pointing it out like you did and I'm glad I found out how huge the payout it for something so simple. Thanks for sharing!

[@Hypedkat]

my go to is elephant mauseleum and the rack, theres a room in the trenches with loads of lockboxes and/or explosives. its also only a few turns from the hangar

[@yewnitedgaming]

I'm 100% checking that out once I start leveling bagman, a handful of people brought that to my attention and it sounds like a great farm

[@Hypedkat]

@@yewnitedgaming it’s great, made over 200k in 1 run, but that area constantly is in a firefight, so it’s a little risky

[@TheRauzKindred]

For the gunrunning guide, a small suggestion if you got the extra creds, and if you have a rig that has the space. Bringing 1 to 2 turrets in addition to your npc helpers can make this even easier.

[@yewnitedgaming]

Whenever I bring in NPCs to the real battlefield they just get torn to bits 😂 Bringing turrets to help shred through the tougher enemies is a very good option though. I'm pretty sure they work on EXOs as well

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

That’s just about what I started doing for money. Cyborg farming is my favorite method, though admittedly it burns through ammunition. However, it DOES come with the nice addition of a chunk of weapon XP every run.

[@yewnitedgaming]

Cyborg farming early definitely runs into ammo issues, which is why I recommended to use the additional NPCs so you can conserve bullets. Once you reach the point of excessive ammo though, definitely start tearing through the hoards on your own to get the most exp for you and your guns

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

@@yewnitedgaming and this is why I obsessively buy ammo from vendors constantly.

[@scott-tt5zn]

I usually use an AK on semi with the junk ammo, red dot and extended mag (60 rd or drum). You can loot extended mags of Euruskan troops in the enclave pretty easily after fights. Bringing in a gun with an extended mag means you carry in free bullets, and the walking cyborgs can be taken out with a single headshot, even from a junk rifle (9mm smgs seem to take 2, but ammo is easier to come by, I usually use the ppsh with a sight). Bring a suppressor so you can deal with them at your convenience. At least for me, only the first wave comes to investigate if you use suppressed weapons. Just make sure you have enough ammo to deal with the drones (Can spawn up to 4 depending), and ideally avoid night shift (The brawlers and cyborgs naturally spawning seem to roam further, and notice you easier).

[@Shywer]

You can oneshot headshot the basic cyborgs (M4a1 for example), but some weapons are zeroed wrong.

[@yewnitedgaming]

@@Shywer Hence I point/hip fire in this game so much. Once you're used to it, it's a lot easier and more reliable than guessing with each gun's terrible zero-ing

[@scathis8184]

The thief in the night quest spawns a Europan thief in the mech trench medbay which adds an easy 75k to the run.

[@yewnitedgaming]

I completely forgot about that quest, that's pretty huge to almost double that loot run's potential profit!

[@Get5ome]

2:00 you still can get back your rig upgrades (and equipped guns as well) even if you died. Just go to the same map and grab your tombstone

[@yewnitedgaming]

Good point, I should have added that blurb in

[@Blaankket]

Nice guide. Very thorough.

[@yewnitedgaming]

Thank you :) I like to be thorough with my guide videos so I'm glad you didn't find it to be too much

[@horrid8024]

You can do the scrapard run solo easily even right from the start. To the left and right of the elevator platform at the wall there is a ledge you can jump on. I use the one on the left when you stand in front of the elevator. The cyborgs can't reach you there and you can safely shoot them. There might be drones spawning, but you can hide behind the elevator while standing on that ledge. it seems to be solid for bullets though it does not loo like it. you can hide there and shoot the drones if you have an opportunity. just be careful not to fall into the hole under the elevator. it will kill you instantly. Also look out for quests like kill eurasian forces, kill cyborgs, get eurasian drone parts or cyborg parts or that totem quest on that map. you can complete all of them with the extract spawn. it is super cheesy but well, happy farming! 😉

[@yewnitedgaming]

Hey if it works, it works! Thanks for sharing

[@binipplepielord6499]

on elephant mausoleum with an average of 4-6min time sink and three quest Terror on Display, Bring her in, and Red Baron's Legacy you can make 300k ez loadout i use Spectre M4 and M79 Sawed off GL. Spawning at pipes rush to the hanger to kill baron and get the pilot and banner then rush ruins and collect the loot form the corpse tank. Near this extract in the trenches is a small room that spawns alot of explosives you can snag along with storage, medical, and ammo crates. The factions are constantly fighting one another making it easy to run past most troops with little resistance.

[@yewnitedgaming]

I've heard that the baron barely drops the banner; do you find it more often than not? Regardless sounds like a solid run for when you really wanna blow stuff up :D

[@evanhorn951]

you know how to do the quest hidden water pt. 1? Also for the first extraction method, I’d recommend getting the scav quest for assassinating the alcohol stealer. He spawns in mech trenches, give 75000 credits and 1500xp

[@macmozer]

Totally agreed! I do "risky cargo" and "thief in the night" quest on every run. Rewards 100k credits total, 1 free slot for a large item, 2 days water plus all the loose loot you can carry. All in all this should be a secure 120k run in under 5 minutes.

[@yewnitedgaming]

I've tried looking a few times for hidden water pt1 but I never found it yet. It could be hard to find or just not be in the game yet as the devs said some quest items aren't in yet

[@Clarkeh616]

Grab the risky cargo and Thief in the Night quest go to Mech Trenches and take the route into the medbay and 50% the time the guy you need to kill is there with the 3x prized booze, once you have that continue to the back of the room to the left there is a door, go through and in there is alot of ammo and water and explosives snap up the explosives and then exfil, you will get 75k for the booze and 25k for the explosives and the run is quite short as long as you don't get caught out.

[@yewnitedgaming]

An extremely solid run; I hope they add more quests like thief in the night so it opens up more maps for loot runs

[@MrHuddelchen]

the last option can easily combined with europan missions like killing eurasian forces, collecting cyborg or drone parts etc. for extra money and xp. This strategy can also be done solo for more gun xp. I started with a simple ak and the free ammo and needed two runs to get comfortable with it. And my aim sucks hard 🙈

[@yewnitedgaming]

Very true, I always pick up the cyborg components /elimination mission when I'm able to when I go to scrapyard nexus

[@ian1985god]

At work so haven't watched the full video but there's a mission/quest to find the weapon tech which sells for 9k can't remember what the mission pays but you're given a grenade launcher which sells for 80k+ grab a couple loot boxes and the gacha box and it's not a bad little run easily done in under 5mins on Scorched Enclave

[@yewnitedgaming]

Dang, that's pretty insane. I gotta keep an eye out for that mission whenever I decide to run scorched enclave. Thanks for sharing the absolute gem

[@ian1985god]

Missions is called Scorched enclave Memento PT 2 pair that with the simple scorched enclave recon mission plus the loot boxes and it's a few days of water plus about 200k+ for 5mins work

[@jakkrit6910]

5:50 that position is super hot spot because they fight near that spot all the time at the start of the raid. i suggest you wait a bit. also i think even if your npc die but you can extract they will come back. i don't know if it change yet but it shouldn't

[@yewnitedgaming]

Yep you definitely want to wait for the chaos to calm down before heading to that first gacha spawn. Thankfully they cleared out really quickly for my test run. Also I haven't tested it recently but the last time I had an NPC die in-raid they were gone for good even after I extracted. We'll always remember your service Old Man o7

[@Diarmuhnd]

Very nice. Have fun everyone.

[@yewnitedgaming]

Stay safe out there scavs

[@emfourthree3169]

in mech trenches, if you do both risky cargo and thief in the night, thats 100k, though you wont get the 2 large containers nvm 1x large lockbox gives 15k per, so unless you need water, you can skip risky cargo

[@yewnitedgaming]

thief in the night really brings in the big bucks, and the map is super fast/easy too

[@nepocrates]

I noticed if you got the quest bring back 2 explosive and go to the scorched enclave that this more often than not puts those three explosive and the first gatcha box there. as long as you do not take any explosives you can get that spawn many times. Last night I got 3 outa four times. I did not have alot of time to play.

[@yewnitedgaming]

Interesting, I never noticed that. That's a pretty nifty way to get a 100% gacha box spawn if that's the case! I'm definitely going to have to look into that.

[@venix20]

if you focus the gacha box you get 4-5 guns per box meaning each run nets you minimum 4 guns vs picking up 3 guns that requre 2 runs to turn it from destroyed to working, it just doesnt add up, sure you can get a gacha box too with the gun runner rig, but you wont get tons of water or cash

[@solidicone]

no special guide needed. All you need to learn about this game is how the NPCs operate and generally by doing a few runs of each of the maps to recognize where loot has a chance to be. I personally go bagman, rack rig, LMG and grenade launcher. I can literally stay at a sprint and murder anything I come across. LMG takes care of foot troops, and grenade launcher can kill any mechanized units. I just rambo it up, end up coming out bursting to the brim with loot and exp. Can easily make 200-300k per run of the mech trenches as well as between 15-25k exp per run and the runs only take three minutes. I have bought every rig, every innards upgrade and now have three characters at max prestige. The game SEEMS hard at first but its really not. They need to nerf the hell out of player power and increase the health/damage of pretty much every single enemy type because as it stands right now their entire concept for the game just doesn't work. You ARE that guy and the enemies will fall before you and it won't even be close. The player is an unstoppable killing machine. Its a fun game don't get me wrong but as soon as I realized that stealth is actually an inferior way to play if you're just trying to progress quickly.. well it just sorta stopped being fun. True I didnt NEED to start going rambo, but I feel its important to do so if possible just to help the developers better guide their efforts in making the game they actually want to make, because as it is right now its just post apocalypse third person call of duty. Also don't get me started on the water. I don't even know why its a mechanic in the game right now because you can easily max it out and just by doing quests you will overbank on them. My tanks are full and I have 400+ water just sitting there.. can't sell it.. can't use it for anything so I can just outright ignore that entire mechanic of the game.

[@yewnitedgaming]

100% you do turn into "That Guy" once you get the hang of the game. I do want to keep my guides geared towards new players though that are picking up the game for that 'scavenger immersive feeling' though. The first time I used a grenade launcher, I just leveled everything in scorched nexus and was just standing at the end of it all thinking "why can I do this in this game??"

[@ChrisTeeGaming]

[@yewnitedgaming]

Thank you :)

[@zachdavis4168]

If you run bag man with the rack in elephant mausoleum and spawn ruins, the trenches nearby to the left have enough explosives to fill your rig. Then you just leave. Easy 90k for a few minutes.

[@yewnitedgaming]

Elephant mausoleum is actually the next map I'm exploring, good to know there's a giant stash of explosives that I can profit off while I'm investigating

[@zachdavis4168]

@yewnitedgaming Basically, go ruins spawn, go left to the trenches area and take the first bridge you see across the top. Then go all the way across the first flat area and down. You'll hit a door on the other side that spawns dudes once you enter. If there is fighting outside, they will leave. Otherwise just a little bit for more fighting to break out. The room will either have 2 lock boxes and 7-8 explosives OR just 8 explosives. Cheers.

[@kokosofen]

Or you run mech trenches elevator entrance and make a 4-5 minute run with either 2 loot caches and 6 explosives or 1 loot box and 5 explosives + a lot of ammo and meds

[@alexkamrow7901]

If anyone doesn't know you can, using a gun runner rig, you can take destroyed weapons into raids to fix them

[@yewnitedgaming]

I was debating on adding this to the gunrunning bit but there's a good chance it's just a bug so I left it out. It definitely adds tons of profit to gunrunning and is easily doable alongside the scrapyard nexus farm since you're not getting any large item loot from that one

[@AceOfScavs]

Thanks.

[@yewnitedgaming]

You're welcome :)

[@Get5ome]

9:24 there is pretty much better way to make gunrunner runs. You take guns, prioritizing gl, 20 mm sniper, usas or any high tier guns. Aside from gl all destroyed guns not cost much. Instead of selling them to vendors you just take this guns to raid and extract with them. They magically become fully operational. You can use them for yourself or sell for double the price, because you selling working guns not some scraps

[@yewnitedgaming]

Yea I debated on adding that to that portion but I'm 99% sure it's either a bug that will be patched, or an unfinished feature that will be reworked/fixed eventually. Hence decided to leave it out.

Thing is, you DON'T need any of these things to start doing these farms. Having a bigger rig just makes them more efficient. Having a smaller rig doesn't mean you suddenly can't pick up gacha boxes from scorched enclave. Or that you can't shoot things in scrapyard nexus with your stock AK like I showed. I ran the video using an equipment runner rig as that's a "normal" baseline rig all players strive to get because it's that good, and is easily obtainable within your first hour of gameplay. Even in your first 20 minutes of gameplay if you follow any of these money farms, especially the second or third one.
