New Player Advice

[ldhfd]

So I just started playing era. I'm pretty much still a greenhorn, but i got the gist of things and started to mine grind. The only problem i see is, that i can make about 1.6k-2k cash an hour through mining. But most of the guns i would like to have, pbp, smgpk, etc. Are just so madly expensive, i'm losing my motivation to continue.

Most of the advice i received was just buy a cheap gun and stick with it until the system changes. but i can't help but wonder how people get these guns in the first place, especially those with 0 mining level. Any advice how i can make it in this economy that is difficult accumulate the money needed for the market prices?

Also, im saving for an m4 if anyone wants to sell me one. (have 31k at the time i made this post.)
