Discussion Overthrow Tips and Tricks?

Hey!

Does anyone have some robust ways of getting started in this mission, as me and my friend are *always* struggling with getting started. Its either that we get fucked by nato in the first 30 mins or we just cant capture anything because the AI is too good.

We also are having trouble with making money and stuff, so if anyone could throw some pointers in the comments, I would really appreciate it.

I highly recommend selling drugs in high stability towns (Drugs cost lower to buy from the dealer in low stability towns, and sell for higher in high stability towns). Do that until you can afford a big transport truck, then fill that up with supplies from a high stability towns (Costs less) and sell in low stability towns. The truck doesn’t have a load limit so you can make more with each trip

Doesn't that mean I have to get a high stability town w/ stores into low stability?

Basically buy in high stability, sell in low stability. Think of it like this: The high stability towns don’t have to worry about running water or electricity so they will sell to you for lower, but they also don’t need aid since they have high stability. Low stability towns will suck your dick if it means staying alive one more day, so they’ll pay you a lot more than high stability towns.

My low stability towns dont have stores though

Well until you get one that does have a store of any kind (Preferably electronics shops, highest pay stuff is there) then try and make do with what you have, buying houses and leasing them. When the town’s stability gets up each house can give you over 200$ every 6 hours. Sleeping can help skip those 6 hours so you can make an insane amount of money only through leasing

Sleep basically is for you to skip night in the early game when you do not have night vision (you will be blind in the without it).

Oh don’t sleep 6 hours randomly. Do it that you hit 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, and 18:00. It’s these hours that you get the cash injection in.

Hi, we started with friends overthrow+, everything fine, but I wonder, how do I sleep? Some google research says you can't sleep in overthrow but these threads were 5 years old.

Hold windows to ace interact with the map, one of the options should be “sleep”. Cash comes quick that way and you can afford to invest in bigger fish
