The legal week
| When | Do this | Why |
|---|
| Night 1 | Get your ID and driver’s licence. Run postman or window cleaning. | Clean money, and you learn the map. |
| Night 2 | Buy a cheap car. Move to taxi, deliveries or towing. | Stage two pays better for the same hour. |
| Nights 3 to 5 | Try the stage-three jobs with a partner. | Find the one you enjoy before you buy gear for it. |
| End of week | Rent or buy a place with a garage. | Somewhere to keep what you own. |
| After that | Get hired by a business, or apply to open one. | Money that is more than an hourly wage. |
The illegal week
| When | Do this | Why |
|---|
| Night 1 | Work one legal shift. | You need clean money for supplies, and you need to learn the map. |
| Night 1 | Get product and run /drugdeal. Stop at 2,000 marked bills. | That is ammo money and the smallest batch a launderer takes. |
| Night 1 | Buy bobby pins and one box of ammo. | It proves the whole loop before you give a night to it. |
| Night 2 onward | Sell after dark. | 25% more for the same work. |
| Nights 2 and 3 | Reach selling level 2. | More zones, a wider area, and 25% more on every sale. |
| End of week | Buy the 35,000 pistol and its ammo in one trip. | About fourteen good sales at level 1. |
| End of week | Meet a launderer before you need one. | They are neutral, and they remember who was civil first. |
| After that | Decide how much to wash and how much to keep. | Washed money cannot be spent on the black market. Unwashed money cannot buy a car. |
