Earning Money: Make sure you start earning money as soon as possible, by completing activities throughout the world (using the Driver SF app and repeating activities you’re good at in order to increase your rating). Also gather the money bag collectibles (check the “Nudle Earth: Atlas” section near the end of this book for all the money bag locations). Sell valuables at pawnshops (you find valuables when you steal a vehicle and automatically check the glove box or find them in a money bag). The easiest plan is to wander around areas where citizens are located, and hack their phones to siphon off funds from their bank accounts.
Spending Money: You can use your ill-gotten gains in the following ways. Most importantly, you can purchase weapons, weapon paint jobs, RC paint jobs, and both RC drones (the Jumper and Quadcopter) at any Hackerspace headquarters. You can also buy vehicles at car dealerships, clothing at clothes shops, sailboats at the Marin sailboat shop, and ammunition at pawnshops.
