How the run plays
-25% item price and +50% Harvesting modifications make the Entrepreneur the strongest shop in the game; the catch is losing all materials at the start of waves, which means spending everything every shop is the correct play. Damage comes from material-count items and whatever the discount buys. In co-op the character bankrolls the team.
Weapons
Entrepreneur fits the Gun or Blade classes best. Start with Pistol, Double Barrel Shotgun and hold six weapons of one class for the set bonus; the weapons list shows everything in the Gun class with per-tier damage.
What to buy, what to skip
Harvesting first, then cheap damage, Max HP. Economy-tag items.
The shop favours Harvesting, Economy items for Entrepreneur, so expect to see these often: Bag, Coupon, Fertilizer, Peaceful Bee, Dangerous Bunny, Recycling Machine, Metal Detector, Wheelbarrow.
The mistake that ends runs
Saving materials; they vanish when the wave starts.
Co-op partners
- Loud — More enemies means more drops, and the economy character turns the extra materials into shops for the whole team.
- Multitasker — The shared economy pays for a character whose shops are unusually expensive.
- Builder — An economy partner keeps materials dropping while the builder leaves them on the ground.
