I know I'm not there yet but what income will I need to be able to buy large amounts of weapons that charge upkeep.

Whatever income you can afford to pay the upkeep with and still make enough money to grow.

You don't need to buy weapons unless you need them! What if you were paying 20k an hour upkeep but you didn't get attacked for 4 weeks? That's $1,920,000 wasted ( which I'm guessing is a he'll of a lot for u)

Don't buy unless you need it!

Sorry, I mucked up that equation it's $13,440,000 that you would lose. Think about it.

20,000x 24= (hours in a day)
480,000x 7=(7 days a week)
3,360,000x 4(for the 4 weeks)
$13,440,000!!!!!!

Thanks guys. I'm not planning it anytime soon just planning for the future.

I started at around your level, not alot just a few and then it helped me cap turfs and expand.
Before upkeep weps = around 60k an hour
now thanks to them weps I'm getting 500k +
if you are not sure about buying these weps then I would reccomend grenades.

I spend about half my income on upkeep, then bank enough to rebuild all my turfs from scratch (about 4m per turf) in case I start getting capped.

i would go for ak as its cheaper then a whore i would save on rpg's and tommys/lapuas until you make 500k/hr but thats me

I mobbed up and used galesis and vests for best non- upkeep defense while u sit tight on ur turf till u have a decent mob. If u pick the right fights when u have a big mob u can get 40k+ per stam which is enough to kit out a couple of mob per fight.
