Upgrades
The phone’s Upgrades menu opens after We’re Going to Need Guns. Each buy needs a Respect level and cash. Respect caps at 50, totaling 238,875 points on the wiki. I would buy Collectible Finder at level 20 for $49,500 before I spend $69,500 on Unlimited Sprint at level 38.
Categories
The upgrade page groups abilities, health, damage, weapons, vehicles, homies, discounts, customization, and strongholds. The local table is a sample of ten rows, not every price. I am not filling missing prices with averages. Stronghold rows change crib income and homie weapons, which is why the crib page links here.
My order is a judgment: survival and the collectible ping first, ammo and sprint later, discounts when you are about to shop. It is not an official path. Cheats that grant Respect skip the ladder and disable achievements, so they fight this menu.
