Recommended weapons

Do not waste money on safe houses. You can make it fine with just the ones you get in the story. Instead, save money for clothing and weapons. All the best weapons cost a lot but are well worth it. The Saturday Night Special is a better revolver and it will cost $75,000. The Assassin's Pistol is better gun and costs about $200,000. The Python a better magnum will cost $250,000. The Dillinger is a machine gun that costs $450,000. Finally, the Street Sweeper, which works like a shotgun, sells for $500,000 and will kill most people in one shot.

The pistol at level 3 works like a semi-automatic gun. It carries fourteen bullets and has more firepower. This is perfect for taking over businesses. The shotgun at level 3 has more ammunition, more firepower, and is perfect for taking over warehouses, etc. Prioritize weapons upgrades before safehouse buying. One house in each city will suffice in the start. However, you will have to buy them all in the end.

Gun upgrade prices and recommendations

The Street Sweeper is recommended because it has 100 bullets available and can kill in one shot. Another good gun to buy is the Colt Python. In close range it can kill in one shot, but it has poor shot power at long and medium range. The Assassin's Pistol is also useful. When running, the pistol fires like any other pistol. However when you stand still it fires like a Tommy Gun.
