1. Save your ammunition. At first you will have only small amounts of bullets, so use them only if you really have no other choice (for example, to quickly eliminate the War Crier or an enemy vehicle. Wasting bullets on single enemies is not a good idea.
2. Gather every piece of Scrap you can find. It's the in-game currency, you can buy upgrades for Max and his vehicle with it. During first few missions you can collect enough of it to be able to buy some upgrades immediately after unlocking the possibility of buying improvements.
3. Visit Griffa frequently. You can spend the earned tokens (obtained by reaching new ranks) to buy abilities for Max. The most important one is increasing the number of health points, which allows your character to receive more damage without dying. Remember that when you visit Griffa you must spend all tokens you possess.
4. Complete side missions. Wasteland missions will help you unlock some upgrades that can later be built in strongholds.
5. Claim enemy camps. Once you become slightly stronger, it is wise to conquer some of the less protected enemy camps. You will find new project parts and large amounts of Scrap by doing so. Additionally, each camp generates small amounts of Scrap from time to time. The more camps you control, the larger the income.
6. Visit Scavenging locations. In almost each of them you will find some Scrap. Sacrificing time to explore the most valuable ones is definitely profitable.
7. Upgrade the strongholds. The required project parts can be marked on the map. Completing new projects will make the game much easier, providing replenishments of health, ammunition, water or fuel each time you visit a stronghold.
8. Reduce threat level. Thanks to that, you will be attacked by enemy patrols less often. Destroyed Scarecrows drop some Scrap, which means you can combine earning with demolishing.
9. Visit Vantage outposts. This will allow you to quickly unlock large parts of the map and mark the most important places in the region.
10. Use the flashlight. While exploring the Wasteland, very frequently you will visit undergrounds or other dark places. Remember that you can always light up the road with a flashlight.
11. Upgrade Max and his vehicle. Whenever you unlock an upgrade, you should gather the required amount of Scrap and buy it. New attacks used by Max are especially useful - they will allow you to eliminate opponents in melee combats faster and in more brutal way.
12. Replenish the canteen. Use the water tank to replenish the canteen whenever it is possible. Drinking water will regenerate your health.
