Budget Bands

Use the bands to control replacement cost before optimizing individual weapons.

Budget Bands: Use the bands to control replacement cost before optimizing individual weapons.
Band	Spending rule	Best use	Main risk
Budget	Protect most of the $10,000 starting balance	Learning routes, support play, repeated lives	Low armor and limited specialist tools
Standard	Balance weapon, ammunition, protection, and one job	Regular squad play and objective pushes	Can become unfocused if every slot is upgraded
Full Budget	Commit heavily to a specialist role or vehicle	Coordinated armor, air, sniper, or demolition play	One bad loss can remove multiple future options

The best loadout is the cheapest kit that can reliably perform one clear job for the squad.
A complete build includes replacement ammunition and equipment, not only the weapon purchase.
Persistent cash rewards disciplined support play and punishes buying an expensive kit without a plan.

Final death refunds, insurance behavior, and economy tuning were not confirmed.
A stable meta cannot exist until the Closed Beta and Early Access balance are measured.
Exact role builds should be treated as snapshots rather than permanent recommendations.

Official pages confirm the game, platform, and high-level systems. Catalogue rows remain an Alpha snapshot until final data is published.
