What to buy first
The buying order for your first few thousand cash, and what to skip.
Armour first, then a sight, then a rifle you can keep, then a muzzle brake and flashbangs. Cosmetics and the shield can wait.
A spending order that survives contact with the actual game.
Start with the free money
Claim the four live codes and the group-and-like bonus before you spend anything. That is 694 cash from codes plus $350 and 100 XP from the group reward, which is enough to skip the two hours of running the bank with a starting shotgun that most officers spend.
The order
| Priority | Buy | Rough cost | Why now |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Body armour (vest, then plate kit) | Locker armour tab | The officer-down line costs more than armour |
| 2 | A sight for your primary | Armory, cheap | Half of the game happens past 25 metres, even indoors |
| 3 | A rifle for the free roster | A few hundred cash | Unlocks the bank, prison, museum and port |
| 4 | Muzzle brake | Armory | Makes the rifle reliable rather than merely adequate |
| 5 | Flashbangs and utility | Armory | Every room with a civilian in it |
| 6 | Second primary for close work | Armory | The house pads stop being a gamble |
What to skip until later
- Cosmetics. Uniforms and headgear do not affect a single gunfight.
- The full-body shield. 2,100 cash for one entry angle.
- The sniper and the beanbag if you are not buying Robux. They are good, they are narrow, and cash cannot buy them.
- Doubled rewards on every raid. The upsell is worth it when a run scored well; it is not worth it on a C.
What a first good loadout looks like
Sighted rifle, pistol, flashbang, armour. That kit clears the bank, the prison, the museum, the apartments and the house raids. The port wants the same gun with a muzzle brake; the house wants the shotgun you already own.
Common questions
How much cash do I need to be comfortable?
A rifle, a sight and a vest is the floor. After that, cash stops being the constraint and rank does.
Is it worth buying armour every raid?
Armour is bought once in the locker, not per raid, and the in-mission upgrade prompt only appears for officers who already own the tier.
Should I buy the cheapest gun first?
Buy the gun that matches the pads you still have left to clear. Cheap and wrong is more expensive than expensive and right.
