Increase respect points

I have just been robbing Clothing Stores, My highest respect points were 17. You get anything from 9 - 17 RPs if any one gets higher let me know.
It depends on the level they are upgraded to I got 13 RPs 3 times in one rob. Just trying new things, trying not to lvl up to quick can get a bit

meat factory, warehouse, casino

Meat factory and warehouse make you level very fast though

I'm not sure about the leveling up too fast thing. From the start I've played this game on the basis that I was just going all out attack while building at whatever rate I could at the same time. I ignore PVE missions and concentrate completely on getting good PVE loot items based on the level I'm at.

I attack anyone I can beat who has stats that will contribute to "Hardcore Hitman" and "Thug Life" rewards only. That means only those with over 500 allies are any use. If I see Clothing stores, Meat Factories, Lofts or French Restaurants sitting I rob those for the respect points too. Apart from that I normally only rob buildings for a return of 10K minimium, but I don't go looking for them I go out to attack and only rob if something juicy appears.

I don't buy any non respect weapons other than what's needed for PVE purposes. When spending respect points on weapons always go for the top items in the category that you can at your level, the reason for this is that as you get stronger the lower spec ones will be dropped from what you use and so the points spent on them will be wasted. Currently my item of choice are

Guns
Sawn-Off Shotgun 22A 14D Respect (until RPG available)
RPG 36A 14D Respect
M4 A1 A20 D22 (they dropped this mid way though me looting it grrrr!) Loot


Melee
Chain Whip 25A 19D Respect

Explosives
The Last Call 25A 18D Loot

Armor
Full Combat Gear 17A 27D Respect
Urban Warfare Vest 11A 20D Loot

Vehicles
Empire Central Bus 15A 17D Loot
Exelero 31A 17D Respect

So you can see from the list the only route to building this way is to hit as much as possible as fast as possible and hence rank up quickly. I'm level 192 now and it's worked out all the way up so far, well until I joined TPK and the Indians started to get interested anyway up till then I was at a near 10-1 win to loss ratio, now I'm going up by 100 plus losses a day!

That said there's nothing different I could have done without spending a lot of real money that would make a blind bit of difference against players of the strength of the Indians. I've seen no free players with real stats much better than 50K attack or defense, most of the indians are 100K plus. The inflated defense stats from defense buildings are worthless too, if someone shows as 10K defense better than my attack I'm pretty happy to attack anyway if their base shows lots of defense buildings.

Work it out this way, going slowly and buying rather than earning respect and looting and ignoring any event items.

Guns
attack, Rocket launcher 19A 11D
defense, Dual machine gun, 7A 19D
Max attack 19x500=9500
Max defense 19x500=9500

Melee
attack, Chainsaw 16A 9D
defense, Katana 10A 12D
Max attack 16x500=8000
Max defense 12x500=6000

Armor
attack, Exoskeleton 12A 20D
defense FBI Shield 1A 24D
Max attack 12x500=6000
Max defense 24x500=12000

Explosives
attack, Sarin Gas Grenade 30A 0D
defense, Land Mine 0A 25D
Max attack 30x500=15000
Max defense 25x500=12500

Vehicles
attack and defense plane unlocked at level 195 24A 36D
Max attack 24x500=12000
Max defense 36x500=18000

With explosives
total attack 50500
total defense 58000

Without explosives
total attack 50500 - 15000 = 35500
total defense 58000 - 12500 = 45500

Anyway you look at it against big gold buyers you're out of luck so play whatever way you like and have fun!

Great statement very enlighten, I had some of the basic down pack but now I am going to add part of your knowledge to my strategy, to be stronger & I occasionally speak with other strong stats players trying to compile enough info & strategies to better my knowledge of CC.✌

A cheap way to increase skill points is to complete every job in every level 5x. Each time you complete all jobs you get a different reward. On the fifth, and final, time through you will be rewarded with a single skill point.

Great info, I figured most of it out already but the one thing that caught my eye was the Urban Warfare Vest. Where is that farmed. I have been farming the Bomb Suit baca use of it's decent defense and very generous $payout for the minimal Energy invested. I would be interested in trying the drop rate for the UWV. Thanks, Moe.

Ihave noticed that although clothing stores give good RP, it also gives at least 17exp. This is at best a 1to1 ratio. The target for RP I prefer to look for is the brown collection agency. It only gives 2 or 3 exp for a nice 4 or 5 RP reward. 2 to 1 ratio. Lvl slower while gaining more RP.

Thanks Bro. I have just put those to good use.

There is some amazing info in those spreadsheets!

Cheers

Absolutely. I now have family members expoitloiting primo locations and are getting top notch items. I have even begun tailoring it for various lower level group tips. I am waiting to hear the results. I hope they are good as well. I can't thank you enough.

The Urban Warfare Vest is from Empire Arena Plaza, Clothing Store - Shoplift a Handbag. It costs 195 and is a single hit item with a good droprate. When I farmed them a few months ago the drop was probably 1-2 or 1-3.

Happy looting!
