Fee target

$100,000

Fast route

Fight Pit + Crypto Wallet

Warning: hitting 100K ends the market

The moment your total reaches $100,000, the game forces you into the auction and all remaining black-market activities become permanently unavailable for that run. Plan your route before you start cashing in — especially if you want the "Show Me the Money" challenge, which reportedly needs about $140,000.

Money-making routes (reported amounts)

Fight Pit — $60,000 (biggest single payout)
Scorpius Art Deal — $52,000
Crypto Wallet — $50,000 (most involved)
Cup Game / Jewel of Jahari — $30,000 (needs ~$3,500 entry)
Shooting Range — $30,000 (needs ~$3,000 entry)
Pickpocketing — ~$3,000 per target

Least-backtracking route

Fight Pit ($60,000) + Crypto Wallet ($50,000) = $110,000. Both are available right away on entering the market and neither needs you to spend money upfront, so this clears the $100K fee in two stops. (Amounts are reported by guide outlets, not an official source, but are consistent across them.)
