one of the surest ways to get killed in the mid to late levels is going after the cash. Yet the cash is desperately needed to get new weapons. BTW, many of the weapons are worthless as they take too long to reload. I've used the spiraller and the ricochet for most of the game as those are two weapons that can keep firing.
It's getting to the point where I can't play this game anywhere. It takes 45+ minutes to get from one town to the next because so many robbers are popping up. Otherwise it's a cool game.
