Steps

  1. Assign one player to utility or overwatch if your group is coordinated. Even simple role definition reduces confusion when a room turns bad and everyone wants to improvise at once.
  2. Do not overstay once the crew has enough value for a profitable extract. Dirty Money rewards discipline, and many good runs die because the group wants one more safe, one more hallway, or one more fight.
  3. Carry resources that help resets and escapes, not only direct damage. A clean retreat tool is often worth more than squeezing out slightly faster clears on rooms that were already manageable.
  4. Read your crew's pace honestly. If one player is looting slowly or panicking in fights, route decisions should protect the whole run instead of pretending everyone is ready for deeper greed.
  5. Treat extraction planning as part of the heist, not the final afterthought. Decide early who calls leave, who watches the rear, and who keeps enough resources for the ugly exit rather than spending everything on entry pressure.
  6. After every wipe, ask whether the failure came from route greed, poor spacing, weak communication, or bad utility timing. That answer improves the next heist much faster than mindlessly requeueing.

Tips for Dirty Money

  • Greed wipes more runs than weak aim because Dirty Money keeps tempting crews to overextend after a run is already good enough.
  • A clean exit beats one extra loot room. Reliability builds gear progression faster than highlight-chasing.
  • Co-op communication is part of the build. A worse gun with a clearer team plan will often outperform a stronger gun in a silent crew.
  • If your team keeps dying late, stop discussing entry and start discussing extraction. Late-run structure is where many early groups are actually weakest.
