Money, banking and taxes

The help centre's money article is unusually direct: collect and sell loot, haul and flip cargo, produce goods at your base, or join the police. Settlement owners and clans that control territories also collect taxes. Those are the four routes plus the territorial one.

The Money section has two more articles, on opening a bank account and laundering money, and on whether money can be stolen. Their conclusions are not restated here. What is clear from the Federal Raid rule is that cash does not survive the reset: it is wiped and converted along with plots, bases and weapons.

The combination is worth stating plainly because it changes how a seven-day cycle is planned. Income that can be earned in four ways is denominated in a currency the reset removes, while cosmetics, name, settings and accumulated jail time carry over.
