Capture instead of kill
Human NPCs can be caught with spheres and put to work at your base — it is a legitimate mechanic and better labour than an early Pal.
Ammo economy
Grunts drop the ammo type they carry, so farming gun-carriers pays for the gun you used.
Don't farm near your base
A wanted flag drags PIDF patrols to whatever you are standing near. Never trigger it beside your Pal Box.
Night raids
Camps have thinner night patrols but harder ambient spawns. Bring a light source and a Dark-resistant partner.
Bring a bag
Gold and ammo add up fast. Clear inventory space before a camp run or you will leave loot behind.
