Mercenaries play an important part in your development. Therefore it’s important that you defeat as many mercenaries per day as you can. Defeating mercenaries helps you in two ways. Firstly, they drop items that are very useful, and secondly, you gain family reputation and family points. A higher mercenary level means higher chances for better rewards. It is recommended you unlock level 4 mercenaries. This can be done in Investment Agency in the Mercenary category. Family reputation is required for unlocking family vigilantes and family babes (reputation levels Neutral V and Friendly II respectively).
List of items that are typically dropped by mercenaries:
- Vigilante experience
- Cargo

- Tactical store points
- Equipment blueprints (either for leader equipment or for vigilante equipment)

Safe cash (cash that can not be robbed) is a very valuable thing in the game. High upkeep can quickly deplete your cash and you will be left with safe cash only. On average Level 4 mercenary gives you 30.000 safe cash. Defeating 50 mercenaries gives you 1.500.000 safe cash which is no longer a small value.
