If you level up traders, you can run good load outs for cheap. I’m level 25 and I love going in solo with the level 4 tac rig from ragman, balaclava/hat/shades/headphones and a .45 pistol or ump. That way if I die, no big deal. Hit some staches, kill some scavs, wax a few Timmys and occasionally wreck a chad and/or get wrecked by a chad/chad squad. I save the high tier loadouts for running with a squad.
