Raids: Night Tide Tools
Practical spend lists so TURRETS Cash becomes a rifle, not a hat.
This hub is the practical side of the wiki: spend order, checklists, and “should I buy this pass” answers. It is not a damage calculator pretending to have stats the shop never published.
Start with the Cash budget. Then use the loadout ranking as the shopping list.
What we built
Cash budget. How to spend 3k, 8k, and post-mission wallets. Vest before Deagle. Rifle before Chinook envy.
Mental loadout checklist. You can copy it into notes:
- Helmet on
- Vest on
- Primary is not ARX-160
- Slot 3 has C4 or a grenade
- Night vision is a toggle, not a personality
- Scout parked off-angle
If any line is false, you are not “ready for Uptown.” You are ready for getting started again.
What we will not fake
No DPS spreadsheet. No raid-time estimator that assumes a Chinook insert you will crash. No “prestige in 3 hours” timer that ignores whether you have a squad.
If you need numbers that exist, they are on this wiki already: 3,000 and 5,000 from codes, 16-player servers, Gamepass prices, May 5, 2026 launch.
How to use tools with guides
Budget → buy → how to raid → Fortress. Tools without raids are spreadsheets for people who never leave Shop. If a Missions patch changes prices, we will update the budget page, not this paragraph’s personality.
Scripts are not tools. They are bans. See scripts.
A second “tool” you can run without this site is a notes app checklist copied from the controls page: E plants, F cycles NVG, slot 3 is not empty. If you forget those in Uptown, no spreadsheet saves you.
When a new Gamepass appears, it does not automatically get a calculator. We add a sentence here if the pass changes Cash or XP. Chinook did not. VIP did. That is the filter.
Use this hub as a pre-raid pause, not as a place to live. Five minutes in the Cash budget, then close Shop.
If you are comparing VIP to Double XP in a notes app, write two lines only: VIP buys guns faster, Double XP buys ranks faster. Then close the app. The prestige guide and gear hub already contain the rest of that argument.
A third checklist for squad nights: who has C4, who has grenades, who is flying. Write it once in Discord. That is a tool. It is also free.
Use the budget. Buy the plate. Go stack a door.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is there a damage calculator?
No. The shop does not publish DPS. Use the weapon tier list instead.
Where do I spend code Cash?
Open the Cash budget. Vest and rifle, then utility.
Do these tools work on mobile?
Yes. They are checklists, not apps. Shop is the same.
Will you add a prestige calculator?
Only if Prime of a Lime publishes XP tables. Until then, prestige stays qualitative.
