I used to start with three mercs, IMP included. As soon as you advance in game, you will find good and unexpensive mercs until you conquer some factories and find shops to sell your stuff.

In Atremo, the starting town, you can find ROSEBUD and RUDE DOG, very good ones, and later in Calisto (the second town) you can hire also TEX. They are all unexpensive.
To get weapons, engage enemies hand to hand... two or three succesful hits leave them unconscious, so you can get his weapon for free.
Don't worry about good guns... they will appear when you progress in the game.

Good luck.

The nice thing about the Bearpit is that the members often help each other out alot and topics sometimes got covered a few times. It was just the great spirit of this place.
I seriously hope this doesn't turn into another messageboard where people are told to go elsewhere simply because they asked a question. The least you could have done was link to the topic.
I looked through the topic headers. I didn't find quick info on making money in UC. It would have been nice if it was here.

There are bank branches detailed in the file information on the laptop in UC. The Danubia intel report has a map with markings on it for your convenience. Perhaps try securing them?

Another cool thing would be if people consistently put relevant info in thread's title... but, I am asking too much. Razz

Good job on the thread title, Wasp. And welcome to the forum! Very Happy

Try starting with just one or two mercs, and your IMP.

Mercs (and IMPs) with high Wisdom are supposed to increase in skills faster than those with low wisdom.

If you are having trouble getting weopons, or getting close enough to beat someone up then take advantage of DYING enemies.

Most battles leave one or two enemy dying.
Do not kill them, leave them alone.
Once you've killed all the others set up a few of your mercs round the dying enemy and heal him using a med kit.
He'll go to critical, the someone can punch him and you can steal his gun, and then punch him to death to increase your strength.

@gallagher : I'd say the thread title is poor because it is really too generic. Come on, everybody has problems with money !

I'd rather named that post "How to make $50k a week from home".

Hello,
hey, Wasp, you could say: "the hell with it, this is a fun game, and nobody on this side of a sanitarium plans to, in effect, invade a nation with a total of $30,000 in resources", and use an editor to either create: a huge amount of money (but, **REALLY** :nono: , this will spoil a lot of the fun and challenge or ( :ok: ) set your starting money just two or three thousand above the cost of your IMP and a two or four week contract for two or three favorite cheaper mercs (Fox, Malice, and Wolf won't steer your IMP wrong!) - you can get a starting party for a while until income kicks in without loading yourself with huge amounts of cash.

Or else, just grin and bear it, plan the financial planner, and know that it'll get better later in the game.

I got an alternative. Try to take Calisto, Port Kip and Sheraton within the first week. Get the Hummer at Sheraton, get access to Tony @Port Kip, and take advantage of the proximity of the gunrunner depot and its respawning troops at B16

Be like me, my mercs became gunrunners themselves for practically 5 days and I made heaps. Now that I have killed Walter Smirnoff in my game, I can say I have cornered the gunrunner market in eastern Danubia..heheh Cool

I wasn't upset at all at him. Just was letting him know that all of his questions have been answered. I've personally seen at least 4 different posts on where to get more money or money management situations, so they are there. If you just look at the subject lines you can find answers to all those questions in either this section or general feedback forum. Goodluck.
