This is a fantastic guide for new players, thanks. To add to it, I am on my first wipe and only level 28 but I have 10 million in the bank 2 i cases stash value 40 million and hideout about 60% fully upgraded. I'm not some kind of god at the game, but I have the privilege of sometimes being able to play in the middle of the night.

If you can play between 1am - 6am local time doing night raids on customs, you can make around 500k average per raid. I have had raids where I've hit big red, marked room, crack house, 1013 building, new gas, repair, 1011 building, killed the boss... all in the same raid without seeing a player.

The beauty of this strat is not that the maps are always empty (sometimes customs can be), but that most people playing in the middle of the night, on nighttime raids, are not looking for PvP. Like you, they are ratting. And most rats doing this strat will hit interchange, reserve, shoreline, for the big money loot. Customs is so slept on, you can find fuel in abundance, water filters, folders, sugar everywhere, PC parts including GPUs, Flash Drives, SSDs, sooo many high tier weapon attatchments, many rare key spawns and I've even found a money case, dogtag case, mag boxes and rare weapons in marked room.
