Community consensus, not exact math
Complete upgrade costs and returns have not been reproduced. Source footage shows Carry Amount level 1 at $6,000; other upgrade prices and current class unlock costs remain unverified. Treat the priorities as community guidance, not an exact calculation.
Your goal
Solo guides agree Shred Amount comes first because it directly speeds up earnings. Automatic Shredder is the solo second pick — with nobody else to crank, cutting crank frequency matters more than extra carry, since played well you rarely fill your hands.
Upgrade priority
- 1
Shred Amount
More paper processed per shredder cycle — directly speeds up earnings. The universal first priority in every community guide.
- 2
Automatic Shredder
Reduces how often someone needs to keep turning the crank. The community's second pick for solo play.
- 3
Shredder Speed
Faster processing once paper is inside the shredder.
- 4
Carry Amount
More documents carried per trip. Second priority for squads and speedruns; solo players report the base carry is often enough. Each upgrade line has 5 levels, and Carry Amount level 1 costs $6,000 — both footage-verified from the upgrade purchase UI.
- 5
Vacuum Power
Faster scrap and document pickup. Community consensus: the weakest line — usually skipped, since you can toss paper straight into the machine.
