How the boards are scored

First buys are judged by what they unlock for looting and by the cash on the shop table. Later unlocks are judged by when the price stops making sense for a new bank. If two shops list different prices, the lower one is the figure used for the early board.

Which [⚙️] Criminality boards are on this hub?

Two jobs, two lists. Open a child page for the long table. This hub is the snapshot.

Tierfirst-buys6 ranked rows.Tierlater-unlocks5 ranked rows.

A tier

first-buysCrowbarOpens safes in four hits. The $50 dealer price is the cheapest way to start the 12-minute safe loop. It can trip an alarm.

Player decision First real purchase. Buy it before a pistol if safes are still closed to you.

later-unlocksM4A1Armory rifle at $3,100. The Weaponry pass or a level unlocks the right to buy it. The cash price remains.

Player decision The standard rifle once a pistol and a bank buffer already exist. Not a first withdrawal.

first-buysBerettaLowest pistol price on the armory table. It is still a cash buy, and the row can be level-locked.

Player decision First firearm after the crowbar, if the armory will sell it.

B tier

later-unlocksSuper-ShortyArmory shotgun at $850, also on the Weaponry pass list. Still a cash purchase.

Player decision A mid price between the first pistol and the M4A1 if you want a close shotgun and the row is unlocked.

first-buysG-17Next armory pistol up from the Beretta. Same unlock caution, higher price.

Player decision Take it instead of the Beretta only if you prefer this row. Do not buy both on the first bank.

later-unlocksThermal GogglesArmory sight for blackouts at $3,500, with a level requirement. It highlights players and scrap in white while the power is out.

Player decision Buy when blackouts are costing you deaths, not on the first night.

first-buysBayonetCheap blade sold at both shops. The dealer price is the one that matters early.

Player decision A backup melee after the crowbar, not a replacement for a gun.

first-buysNunchucksFree at both shops. Fists and knuckle weapons are enough to break cash registers.

Player decision Pick them up immediately so registers are not a gear check.

C tier

later-unlocksT-3 KitFull kit listed at $15,000 at both shops. It is an end-price armor set on the stock table.

Player decision Ignore it until losing a cheaper vest is no longer the thing setting you back.

later-unlocksBFGArmory gun at $18,000. The price alone puts it last for anyone still building a bank.

Player decision A late cash sink. The early-board tier is about affordability, not a claim that the gun is weak.

first-buysShivCheapest dealer blade. It does not open safes.

Player decision Skip it if the crowbar is only $40 more. The crowbar changes which loot you can open.

FAQ

[⚙️] Criminality ranking questions

Is an A tier the strongest weapon?

No. S is unused on purpose. A means the item does a documented job at a price a new player can actually reach, or, on the later board, it is the standard armory rifle once you can unlock it.
