guys can you give me a tip please, im struggling on living, i ate raw rat and rabbit meat with the help of my bastard doggo for a living
I found looting chests to be the most profitable. You don't always hit the jackpot but with a little persistence it becomes inevitable. Many places have chests but the one at the last warehouse at the docks is probably the easiest one and no time and stamina is lost upon reentering which makes it a really good spot.
There are only 3 guards that are far enough apart so you can deal with them 1 at the time. Just 3 mind control rocks and 3 bonks at a cost of 12 stamina and the chest is yours (for another 30 stamina). Their patrols never intersect and it's always the same 2 points and the same timing so with a little bit of practice you can do it very quickly. I could do it without sneak so you don't need high SCU except maybe for opening the chest. You can eat the dog if you need food because companions won't be of any use there. Last guard is the easiest, almost impossible to screw up.
Although you can only do this once you can also get some quick and easy money by borrowing as much as much money as you can and then killing the loan shark. As a merchant his prices are a ripoff so you don't lose anything by killing him, not even morality which interestingly enough only goes up temporarily. You will still aggro all the npcs so you probably want to set up some explosives and a timebomb to get a head start. If you hide for a while and lose aggro you can go back to the loan shark and pick up lots of coins. You can buy explosives at the market at night.
